If
we still live in the fears and in the anxieties of humanity either we have
not known Him or we have not been perfected in His love. The perfect love model being
revealed from the heaven in this last time, is the infallible model
that will deliver man from all forms of fear. Fear and anxiety is
torment, it has it's roots in the darkness of the ignorant heart. Fear is the force that
propels men into doing the things that they do in most cases. Fear
generates liars, thieves, murderers, prostitution, hate, insecurity
and depression. It also generates malfunctioning and deteriorating
health conditions like heart attacks, high blood pressure, arthritis
and many others complications in this world. Why do men ruling
in the world system gather so much and become excessively rich while
they live many other to languish in poverty ? It is all rooted in
fear for themselves, to preserve and to protect themselves for
tomorrow. From the
moment a man or woman is born into this world He is initiated into a
web like system of fear and anxiety. This is the world or realm of
those who have not known the love of Lord nor walk in it. Jesus
referred to them as the gentiles or nations of the earth, these are
the ones who occupy themselves with fear of tomorrow, what
they will eat, what they will wear, how they will be sheltered and
how they will preserve themselves in the world.
Matthew
6:25-34 Therefore I say unto you, Take no thought for your life,
what ye shall eat, or what ye shall drink; nor yet for your body,
what ye shall put on. Is not the life more than meat, and the body
than raiment? Mat 26 Behold the fowls of the air: for they sow not,
neither do they reap, nor gather into barns; yet your heavenly
Father feedeth them. Are ye not much better than they? 27 Which of
you by taking thought can add one cubit unto his stature? :28 And
why take ye thought for raiment? Consider the lilies of the field,
how they grow; they toil not, neither do they spin: 29 And yet I say
unto you, That even Solomon in all his glory was not arrayed like
one of these. 30 Wherefore, if God so clothe the grass of the field,
which today is, and tomorrow is cast into the oven, shall he not
much more clothe you, O ye of little faith? 31 Therefore take no
thought, saying, What shall we eat? or, What shall we drink? or,
Wherewithal shall we be clothed? 32 (For after all these things do
the Gentiles seek:) for your heavenly Father knoweth that ye have
need of all these things. 33 But seek ye first the kingdom of God,
and his righteousness; and all these things shall be added unto you.
34 Take therefore no thought for the morrow: for the morrow shall
take thought for the things of itself. Sufficient unto the day is
the evil thereof.
Sit back and reflect on
the things that men occupy their minds with 99% of the time. It is
simply worries generated from fear of His tomorrow. The illusion
here is that the more you focus your mind on seeking to secure that
future you live in fear of, the more entangled you find yourself in
the universal web of bondage. The gathering in the way of this world
only plunges men into deep sorrow and untold hardships. It is like
sinking down quick sand or falling into a bottomless pit like Paul
wrote in a letter to Timothy.
1Timothy 6:6 But
godliness with contentment is great gain. 7 For we brought nothing
into this world, and it is certain we can carry nothing out. 8 And
having food and raiment let us be therewith content. 9 But they that
will be rich fall into temptation and a snare, and into many foolish
and hurtful lusts, which drown men in destruction and perdition. 10
For the love of money is the root of all evil: which while some
coveted after, they have erred from the faith, and pierced
themselves through with many sorrows. 11 But thou, O man of God,
flee these things; and follow after righteousness, godliness, faith,
love, patience, meekness. 12 Fight the good fight of faith, lay hold
on eternal life, whereunto thou art also called, and hast professed
a good profession before many witnesses.
The
earthly carnal man of this world seeks security because He feels all
alone, He feels separated from the love of God. When man tries to
fill in that void created by His sense of annihilation from God He
only creates mischief, He creates an environment and an imaginary
false world around Him only to find himself in greater need. Adam in
the bible Bible lost His knowledge of love towards God when He
associated Himself with the serpent which is the spirit of this
world. The nakedness He felt and His hiding from God's presence is
the result of fear. In the fallen state, first of all God who we
know in our innermost being exists is now perceived as an enemy to us, so
we live in constant fear of failure because our hearts condemn us
telling us we do not please Him. Man now has to fend for
Himself and occupies Himself with covering Himself and thinking of
tomorrow. Man through Adam was cast into a wilderness state from
that original garden state, He was created in. The wilderness state
is a lower realm of existence where you live in lack and want of
every thing, it is a realm of fear and unbelief. In that state of fear and separation far away from the
love and unity with the
living God, man is compelled to toil and labor on his own
with worries about tomorrow,
worries about how to survive by the arm of the flesh. We know that
those who depend on the arm of the flesh will not see the good of
God's salvation, He will remain in the wilderness state of want.
Jeremiah
17:5-6 Thus saith the LORD; Cursed be the man that trusteth in man,
and maketh flesh his arm, and whose heart departeth from the LORD. 6
For he shall be like the heath in the desert, and shall not see when
good cometh; but shall inhabit the parched places in the wilderness,
in a salt land and not inhabited.
As long as we remain
consciously outside the confines of His loving presence, we can only
yield thorns, like the cactus trees in the harsh wilderness places.
which is a type of the fruit of pain, sorrow and death. What Adam
lost in the beginning was His Love relation with the omnipotent one.
God never stopped loving Adam, it is Adam who felt this void and
separation from God by the obscuring of His mind with the lie of the
Devil. The effect of this void generating fear in Adam
caused His exit from God's kingdom into the lower parts of existence
called the world a realm separate from the love of God.
ASCENDING BACK INTO
THE LOVE OF GOD
Christ was revealed to
take us back to the heights from which we fell, he has come to
restore us back to the kingdom of His love which is our first love.
We now have to arise and reverse the downward trend we have taken
all these years. In our state of sleep we all had virtually fallen
in love with images that are not from the mind of God, for this
reason John says love not this world or the things in it [1
John 2:15-17]. He
further called these things idols [1
John 5:21]. Love not the false projected
images from our carnal minds, these are the images that have created
the world we live in. We should now return to God and set our hearts
and minds on the truth emitting from the heart and mind of God.
Anything not coming from the heart and mind of God is a lie and the
world lives in this lie. The downward trend of the world is derived
from the fact that they have their minds on earthly things thinking
that they can derive safety and satisfaction from them. We must now
turn around in repentance and begin to seek the love of God once
more. Seek ye first His kingdom and His love and the rest will
follow, lay hold on eternal life by fighting the good fight of
faith. Let us live behind the ambitions and the thought out devices
and seek that love that surpasses all knowledge. The is the first
trumpet message that John heard in the book of revelation.
Revelation 2:4-7
Nevertheless I have somewhat against thee, because thou hast left
thy first love. 5 Remember therefore from whence thou art fallen,
and repent, and do the first works; or else I will come unto thee
quickly, and will remove thy candlestick out of his place, except
thou repent. 6 But this thou hast, that thou hatest the deeds of the
Nicolaitanes, which I also hate. 7 He that hath an ear, let him hear
what the Spirit saith unto the churches; To him that overcometh will
I give to eat of the tree of life, which is in the midst of the
paradise of God.
As we are united with
that love from above, not just by letter we become aware that all
things work out for good because He loves us and we stand approved
in His sight. We find ourselves back to the garden state of rest and
pleasures where we were created to be in. We know for sure that we
are in Him and He in us so that the very power that sustains every
element in the universe sustains us. The lilies of the valleys, the
birds of the air, the fishes in the deep the stars and all other
bodies in the heavens and other many uncountable things are
sustained by Him, how much more we who are loved with an everlasting
love of God. Eternal life is knowing God and His love because God is
love and in Him is no darkness at all. His love is that which will
give all of us rest from the torments and fears we found in
humanity.
1John 4:18-19 There
is no fear in love; but perfect love casteth out fear: because fear
hath torment. He that feareth is not made perfect in love. 19 We
love him, because he first loved us.
In the world or in the
lower realm of existence where we are separated from the true love
of God, we can have only torment and tribulation. Just forget your
well thought out plans for tomorrow and rethink it all over in the
only begotten of the Father. The peace we seek is only found as we
rediscover ourselves in Christ who is in the bosom of the Father, no
other thing will do.
John 16:33
33 These things I have spoken to you, that in Me you may have
peace. In the world you will have tribulation; but be of
good cheer, I have overcome the world."
As we ascend back into
His loving hands from the lower parts to be found
IN HIM
like Paul wrote, we discover we are one body in Christ. It is like ascending
up a pyramid or a mountain, the pyramid or the mountain unites in one at the peak.
This is a picture of the true spiritual eternal mountain called
mount Zion, the dwelling place of God, the joy of the whole earth,
the place of the king's throne [Psalm
48:1-3], the place where all dwell together in unity [Psalm
133:1-3]. Like the peak of the mountain touches heaven so
also does the peak of mount Zion where we who are called out gather
in Christ. In heaven there is only one man and one God, that man is the Christ, the son of the
living God, beloved and favored of God. In the ascension the world
will be able to discern and be converted where they see a people so
knitted together in pure love and oneness of purpose. I have met
some brethren online, and even communicated with others and I am
filled with awe when I observe that we have like minds and like
purposes. I could be in Milan preaching and preaching in Africa or
in Australia at the same time because it is the spirit in me is also speaking through the brethren dispersed all over the world.
If you feel
condemnation in you because of a sense of intolerance and lack of
love towards others, the key to deliverance is to ascend up
spiritually to explore the love of God. It is only as you receive of
His unlimited resources in love that we can emit that love. It is
only as we receive His light that we can give out that light. You
can not give what you do not have, as long as we lurk around in the
impoverished state of humanity in the fall absent from God's love,
there is no way you can manifest love. You can manifest affection
like in the animal kingdom which is a self fake version of love.
Just observe the
bodies and masses in the heavens, they always give and give freely, never
receiving or asking a reward from the earth. The earth does the opposite it receives
and receives and never gives. The wilderness or the barren lands or
the barren wombs only receive but they never give fruit back to they
sower this is the state of men of the earth. The stars give and give, the clouds
give and the sun gives, It is only as we are converted into that
spiritual heavenly man and we become connected back to His love,
then we can manifest the love of God to all men. We who believe are
from above and not from below, we are the head and not the tail, we
reign in Him, manifesting His love in always giving unto all men.
Deuteronomy 28:12-13 The LORD shall open unto
thee his good treasure, the heaven to give the rain unto thy land in
his season, and to bless all the work of thine hand: and thou shalt
lend unto many nations, and thou shalt not borrow. 13 And the LORD
shall make thee the head, and not the tail; and thou shalt be above
only, and thou shalt not be beneath; if that thou hearken unto the
commandments of the LORD thy God, which I command thee this day, to
observe and to do them:
Jesus admonishes
the Brethren saying be ye perfect as your heavenly Father is
perfect.
Matthew 5:43-48
43 "You have heard that it was said, 'You shall love your neighbor
and hate your enemy.' 44 But I say to you, love your enemies, bless
those who curse you, do good to those who hate you, and pray for
those who spitefully use you and persecute you, 45 that you may be
sons of your Father in heaven; for He makes His sun rise on the evil
and on the good, and sends rain on the just and on the unjust. 46
For if you love those who love you, what reward have you? Do not
even the tax collectors do the same? 47 And if you greet your
brethren only, what do you do more than others? Do not even the tax
collectors do so? 48 Therefore you shall be perfect, just as your
Father in heaven is perfect.
This is only possible
as you feel the love of the Father in you. It is only possible as we
find ourselves in His loving arms on our return like the Prodigal
Son returned in the loving arms of the Father. The Son knows the
Father and feels the love of His Father. In likewise manner the
Father knows the son and manifests His love for His son. When we
grow in the consciousness of His love and His riches in glory we
become lights like He is Light, we become an expression of love like
He is love. We become like clouds refreshing the earth with that
same way He refreshes us. As we behold His glory in love we are
transformed into that love. These are the things we should occupy
ourselves with, seeking His Love
LEAVING ALL FOR HIS
LOVE
I suffered the loss of
all things that I gained in this world so that I can gain Christ
---Apostle Paul. All that we have acquired in this age or in this
world, like our separate identities from God has to go down the
drain so that we can take a hold on the true one which is Christ. It
is only in Christ that we can feel the love of God once more. The
Father loves the son which is Christ and He has given all things to
Him. God is love and will not withhold anything from anyone, all we
have to do is to find ourselves in Christ. We have to rediscover our
true identities in Him by humbling our old selves and putting on the
Christ. Jesus Himself as a man made that sacrifice by leaving His
identity of a man born of a woman and a Hebrew and identifying with
the Christ. He had the confession in His lips saying I go to the
Father. He was propelled by the desire to know the Father and to be
found in Him.
Moses had to also leave all the glories of Egypt
before encountering the voice in the burning bush. Elijah had to
leave the hustle and bustle of the City to hear that still voice.
Elisha had to leave all to see the Chariots of Fire when He shouted
Father, Father. They were all called out, the same way we are being
called out of the realms of ignorance of God's love into the light
where we can see His love and be enveloped in that love once more.
Abraham the Father of
our faith was also called out, He had to leave His old family
traditions and gods to seek the glory of God. In His search He heard
the voice saying "FEAR NOT I AM YOUR EXCEEDING GREAT REWARD", "I
WILL CAUSE YOU TO BE A BLESSING TO ALL MEN", "I WILL MAKE YOU
EXCEEDINGLY FRUITFUL", "I WILL CAUSE YOU TO PREVAIL OVER THE GATES
OF YOU ENEMY". Amen. what God was saying is that
"I will cause you and
your seed to be as me". "I will cause you and your seed to be
a giver of good and a blessing unto all men", "I will cause you and
your seed to return to the kind of fruitfulness that is in the
garden of Eden". "I will cause you and your seed to prevail against
the gates of hell". Even though Abraham died in faith not
receiving this promise, all of this is now fulfilled in Christ. So
all we have to do is to forsake all like Abraham to seek for that
precious promise of greatness from God.
The search might look
difficult and frustrating at times because as you search Him you
discover the more how helpless you are. You find yourself at times
in the wilderness of unbelief, temptation and sin consciousness.
Voices rise up from within and without seeking to get you back out
from seeking the Lord. At times it may seem the finances are not
going well, health is not at it's best. At times you feel sin
consciousness that tells you you are no good, just abandon the
faith. Many get offended and fall back into the world system only to
heap up more sorrow for themselves. The word is patience, endurance
and perseverance, we should always stir up ourselves unto seeking
the love of God. The Lord is not a man that He should lie if you
have understood the call and you set out to seek His Face, you will
find Him.
The Lord knowing fully
well some of the problems men encounter as they seek Him, has
provided His word and His spirit of revelation into the deeper
things of God. All these serve to strengthen our faith while the
dark shadows of ignorance fade away. Even Jesus in His humanity
needed an angel from heaven to strengthen Him in His faith as He battled
with His self will and the will of God. The spirit of God like the
angel strengthens our faith and consoles us in our quest to knowing God
by unveiling wonderful things for us to see. The revelation of His
thoughts increases our faith, it is this faith that keep us from the
wicked one. The wicked one seeks to obscure our sight from the
love of God, but by the faith in God we remain firm.
We should never forget
that we have a high priest who understands your travails because he
experienced the same things we experienced. he was tempted on every
side, We saw the climax at Gethsemane when he groaned under
the pressure upon Him by the flesh to abandon the work of the cross.
So we have one in heaven who knows what we are all going through and
is always willing to forgive and lead us on into greater heights.
Even as the wicked one begins to bite like the serpents in the
wilderness did to the Israelites we should look until the cross as
they looked unto the bronze serpent. He has suffered for us so that
we should boldly come out of the poisonous effects of condemnation
from the wicked one. One of the signs that will follow His true
believers is that they will take up serpents with their hands and it
will not harm them. Yes no more will the deceitfulness of
condemnation and sin consciousness inflicted upon us by the wicked
one affect us anymore because of our faith in His blood and in His
work on the cross. No more will the carnal knowledge of good
and evil in this world system make us feel naked with guilt and
shrink away from the love of God.
As we patiently keep
His word by denying of ourselves while ascending back to our true selves
in Him, we suddenly find the doors of God's Kingdom realistically
opened before us. We begin to find satisfaction in our walk
towards him because the shadows that obscured our eyes pass away. We
become conscious of a total rebirth where the carnal man that warred
against God fades away. We find our ourselves in Him as Him so that
a new man is revealed from Heaven, a man one with God from the
beginning of creation. The message to the Church in Philadelphia
mentions this.
Revelation 3:10-12
Because thou hast kept the word of my patience, I also will keep
thee from the hour of temptation, which shall come upon all the
world, to try them that dwell upon the earth. 11 Behold, I come
quickly: hold that fast which thou hast, that no man take thy crown.
12 Him that overcometh will I make a pillar in the temple of my God,
and he shall go no more out: and I will write upon him the name of
my God, and the name of the city of my God, which is new Jerusalem,
which cometh down out of heaven from my God: and I will write upon
him my new name.
The new Jerusalem
descending from heaven is the body of Christ coming to view before
the whole world. As we find yourself in Him the city of God,
the kingdom of God in us comes in contact with people of this world
through us. God promises that we will enter in and no more go
out, Amen. We will enter into the eternal Abode of God never to fall
back again. We enter into His loving arms never to feel that torment
and fear upon humanity any more. We then will become like models for
the world to see and believe and enter in so that they too might be
saved.
In due season after
sowing in patience realizing God is not unrighteous to forget your
labor in good works with patience unto His body. As we occupy
ourselves in Him mediating on his word and on His precious promises
not carried away by the anxieties of men, He watches over us with
the sole intent of causing you to sit down on His throne with kings.
Remember He does not withhold good from anyone like we once felt.
His good pleasure is to give you His kingdom of Power and glory. His
good pleasure is to come and dwell with us and fellowship in love.
This is the fellowship that heals all our diseases and binds up the
broken hearts.
Job 36:7
7 He does not withdraw His eyes from the righteous; But they are on
the throne with kings, For He has seated them forever, And they are
exalted.
So let us strengthen
ourselves in His remembrance every second of our lives, never losing
concentration but holding on to Him that is able to give us life,
peace and Joy.
Be blessed in His
loving arms
