Manifestation Means To Reveal
God says,
“To whom God would make known what is the riches of the glory of this mystery among the Gentiles; which is Christ in you, the hope of glory:”
Colossians 1:27
And,
“For I reckon that the sufferings of this present time are not worthy to be compared with the glory which shall be revealed in us. For the earnest expectation of the creature waiteth for the manifestation of the sons of God.”
Romans 8:18.19
The manifestation of God in you
Today I feel to encourage you about who you are in God. Even though we call ourselves Christians, which means Christ-like, many have no idea of who they are in Christ. As such, I am talking to those who are no more children, but desire to become the manifestation of the fullness and stature of Christ Jesus.
As you yield your hearts and minds to Christ, God renews you through experiencing Him. When I say this, I don’t mean Bible study only, I mean by direct ” spiritually connected” revelation on a daily basis. The truth is, we manifest God as we allow Him to act through us. This simply means that we do what He wants to do, when He wants to do it. Teachings are not as effective as just “being” what Jesus wants us to be. We just reveal God. In fact, the Holy Spirit becomes the only rule that actually matters. The greatest law is just to do whatever God says, when He says to do it.
Letting God’s Spirit fill you
The reason that Hollywood makes such a big deal of poltergeist and many other types of demonic possession, is that the Devil wants us to fear the supernatural. By showing us the horrible side of the spiritual realm, the father of lies wants to keep us from the real thing. In reality, God wants to fill you fully so that when people look at you they see God looking back. Paul says,
“I am crucified with Christ: nevertheless I live; yet not I, but Christ liveth in me: and the life which I now live in the flesh I live by the faith of the Son of God, who loved me, and gave himself for me.”
Galatians 2:20
The Holy Spirit doesn’t force Himself on anyone, but allows us to give ourselves to Him willingly. As we live and move in His Spirit our lives fall naturally into a rhythm of holiness. We meld into Him and reveal His love to the world in our own unique way.
God says,
“For I reckon that the sufferings of this present time are not worthy to be compared with the glory which shall be revealed in us.”
Romans 8:18
This means that the glory of God already indwells you. On a mountain Peter and John simply witnessed that truth.
“And after six days Jesus taketh Peter, James, and John his brother, and bringeth them up into an high mountain apart, And was transfigured before them: and his face did shine as the sun, and his raiment was white as the light.”
Matthew 17:1,2
Like Elisha’s servant, open your eyes
Jesus Christ always was like this, yet natural minded men could not see it. God had to reveal Christ’s glory to them before they could see the truth. This is why demons cried out when Jesus stepped into the synagogue. God says,
“And they were astonished at his doctrine: for he taught them as one that had authority, and not as the scribes. And there was in their synagogue a man with an unclean spirit; and he cried out, Saying, Let us alone; what have we to do with thee, thou Jesus of Nazareth? art thou come to destroy us? I know thee who thou art, the Holy One of God.”
Mark 1:22-24
Demons, who are fallen spirits, saw the Christ as he truly is. In fact, those unclean spirits recognized Christ as He appears in the New Heavens and New Earth.
Jesus in his glory
Again, the disciples saw Christ as he really is on the angry sea of Galilee. God says,
“But when they saw him walking upon the sea, they supposed it had been a spirit, and cried out: For they all saw him, and were troubled. And immediately he talked with them, and saith unto them, Be of good cheer: it is I; be not afraid.”
Mark 6:49,50
In conclusion, the truth is that we are the manifestation of God on earth. God doesn’t indwell angels, burning bushes, pillars of fire and smoke any longer, because He has us. We are in Christ and we are made into the image of Jesus. Like the Son full of the love and power of our living God, our Father manifests through us to this world as we grow into the fullness and stature of Christ.
God is with you
Finally, realize who you are in God. Your heavenly Father chose you to be His manifestation for a reason. God predestined you to be right here, right now, as the right person for His purposes. Unbow yourself and look up for your redemption is near. God is with you. Your Father has a path and a way for you to go. Step out, by faith, and believe.
In Zechariah 1; during his night vision there was a man before him mounting on a horse standing among the myrtle trees.
He asks “what are these my lord”. The angle who was talking with him answers “I will show you what these are”
{this is soooo good} Then the “man” explains to him!
Dear Dale,
Thank you for commenting. We appreciate it. Could you elaborate a bit on what you are saying, just so that everyone can understand it better?
Big hugs and lots of love,
