I can see clearly now

God says,

” For the earnest expectation of the creature waiteth for the manifestation of the sons of God.”

Romans 8:19

I wrote about how Jesus being raptured “proves” that there is, in fact a rapture.  I was thinking about how plain it is, when you think about it, that Jesus was taken up into heaven and will return to earth in the same way.  Yet, for all my years of walking with God and studying the Bible, both in and out of Bible College, it never dawned on me that this ascension scripture is the proof text for the doctrine of the rapture.

This made me realize, that the only way we can see clearly and understand His truth is not based upon study but upon revelation.  Until God “reveled” to me, or caused me to see this rapture proof text clearly, my mind just didn’t get it.  Now, no one who denies the rapture has any validity in my mind because I can see clearly now.

The revealed sons and daughters of God

Today, I want you to see clearly who you are in God.  This revelation has to do with the manifested (or revealed) sons of God. This scriptural truth has a direct impact on your spiritual life because, in fact, this passage talks about you.

The word manifest is just the old way of saying revealed.  This is like when there are three curtains on a game show. The host asks you, do you choose curtain number one, two, or three.  Each item behind the curtain is hidden until it is “revealed.”  Likewise, we do not see the sons of God for who they are yet because they are hidden, waiting to be revealed.

What is a manifested child of God?

What is a son of God?  A son of God, man or woman, is someone who is made in the image and likeness of their Father.  It is someone who has the attributes and nature of God. Jesus Christ, the last Adam, was the first manifested son of God. Christ is  preeminent above all other sons of God because he was the first born of many brethren.

Whenever someone does something amazing in God, by faith, and miracles happen it is a manifestation of the sons of God.  Whereas Jesus walked fully in son-ship and manifested God’s glory to the world,  we are given His Spirit by measure,  and together, as the bidy of Christ, we do the same. He is our example to follow as we learn how to yield to God’s Holy Spirit. When we yield to God’s Spirit people see clearly the son of God in us.

Miracles, visions, dreams

God performs miracles through as we begin to experience how Jesus lived.  We are in fact returning to a place of innocence.  All these things we consider extraordinary are simply the way God meant us to be all along. When Christ  manifested God’s glory to the world demonstrated our Lord’s original plan for mankind.

You, like me, need to see clearly what YHWH is doing in this generation.  Like me realizing that Jesus was raptured, it requires God’s illumination see clearly what has been in the scriptures all along.  We are destined, if we yield to God’s Spirit, to manifest (or reveal) His glory to the world for the express purpose of saving all those who will accept Jesus as their Lord and Savior.  Jesus came to reconcile the world to his Father and we, Chirst body, are here to finish the job.

You are more than  you think

So what does this mean for you?  It means that you have been deceived by this world into believing that you are nothing.  It means that you are living way below the potential that God has for you.  It means that if you will lift up your head, even for a moment, and allow God to show you what you are in Him, your life will change forever.

If I could, I would literally want to grab your shoulders and shake you.  I want to wake you up, even if it startles you, to the fact that you are a son of the living God! The power that dwells in you is none other than that of the creator of the heavens and earth and you are living like a vagabond in this world when you are a son of the King! Everything that Jesus did through his Father is available to you if you will dare to believe.

Jesus says,

“Verily, verily, I say unto you, He that believeth on me, the works that I do shall he do also; and greater works than these shall he do; because I go unto my Father.”

John 14:12

God does not lie.  These greater works are available to us just like God said if we will join together and become the manifested sons of God.

I have told you the truth.  I have revealed the way, not because I have some ability that you don’t, but because God Himself is showing you plainly who you are.  What is happening right now is that I am manifesting a little bit of God to you and He is giving you revelation.  You need to do something with it.  Stand up and connect with me and others who are willing to let God be Himself.  For the love of God, do something with these truths and defeat the devil in your life and others.

You can overcome

You have been deceived, bamboozled, Shylocked into believing that you cannot overcome the world.  However,  Jesus says,

“These things I have spoken unto you, that in me ye might have peace. In the world ye shall have tribulation: but be of good cheer; I have overcome the world.”

John 16:33

And,

“To him that overcometh will I grant to sit with me in my throne, even as I also overcame, and am set down with my Father in his throne.”

Revelation 3:21

Men and women of divine destiny

I want you to see clearly that it is our destiny and it is fully available to us.  It is time to connect in the Spirit and become the manifested sons of God.  Take hold of the vision and run with it.  Get with your brothers and sisters and share the good news. Realize that the good news goes way beyond salvation. You are going to be changed, in a twinkling of an eye and translated into heaven just as Jesus was.  You shall be changed and receive a glorified body just as He did.  You will literally set foot in a New Heavens and New Earth and live in New Jerusalem where there is no night because the glory of God does lightens it always.  Heaven awaits where you will find love, peace, and rest…forever.  Every tear shall be wiped away and there shall be no more pain or sorrow!  You will be given a new name and share an intimate relationship with Jesus that never ends.

Finally, you have a lot to look forward to

“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 8:17,18

Amen.

Imagine being able to see clearly in the New Heavens and Earth when you listen to this song.

In Peter’s Shadow

Peters shadow

Faith Moves The Hand Of God

I am amazed, sometimes, at how downtrodden (myself include) Christians are.  Exhausted, demoralized, traumatized, we barely holding on. Though we try our best it seems that, no matter what we do, we continue to struggle.  In fact, this is so common some say this is “normal” and just the way God wants it to be. However, as an act of defiance against such demonic oppression in my own life, I say “No!”

Coordination and strength

The strength of any natural body lies in its coordination.  A single finger is only so strong.  However, together, five fingers can hold something tightly. Add to that an arm, an elbow, and a shoulder and now you have something to work with.

The source of our bodies coordination is our head.  Our bodies act as our brain commands to carry out our will.  Olympic athletes, who do amazing things physically, are examples of extreme coordination allowing them to compete at the very limits of human ability.

Multiple sclerosis in Christ’s body

When the body cannot coordinate, we know it is sick.  For instance, the national Multiple sclerosis society states,

“Multiple sclerosis (MS) is an unpredictable, often disabling disease of the central nervous system that disrupts the flow of information within the brain, and between the brain and body.”

This disease often leads to uncoordinated, jerky movements that make it increasingly difficult for the afflicted person to live well.

Christ’s body is ill

The Body of Christ is sick.  We are spastic and uncoordinated.  We suffer as a whole, because individalus among us don’t listen to Christ out head.  Our true strength is never available, because we act independently and work against each other.

We are in need of the Great Healer.  We need to be “cured” of our inability to allow Jesus to control and coordinate our actions. When we do, we shall see such an explosion of strength and effectiveness, t that a nation has been born in a day.

Jesus can heal us

In reality, the Body of Christ has everything it needs to do the work of the ministry.  There is no lack of time, energy, or resources.  More that enough people, in enough places,  can preach the gospel TODAY. There is enough of Jesus in us  to experience the unity of the Spirit TODAY.  I say, reach for it, believe it, and possess it!.

In Peter’s Shadow

God says,

“Insomuch that they brought forth the sick into the streets, and laid them on beds and couches, that at the least the shadow of Peter passing by might overshadow some of them.”

Acts 5:15

When the Holy Spirit was moving in amazing power and demonstration during  the first century church, even when the shadow of the apostle Peter cast itself upon a sick person they would instantly be healed. During that time believers sold lands and houses laying the proceeds at the apostles feet.

We have more than enough

The truth is, if the excess  people have in this world is converted into resources for the kingdom of God, no one would lack.  Divine Love cuases the faithful to function as God intended, providing more than enough for whatever God wants to do.

Divine love it the answer

God’s Divine Love, manifested through and each believer, will almost over night, produce the perfect man of Ephesians.

Paul says,

“ Till we all come in the unity of the faith, and of the knowledge of the Son of God, unto a perfect man, unto the measure of the stature of the fulness of Christ:”

Ephesians 4:13

Knit together by Divine Love

It is the Tabernacle experience, the infilling of Divine Love, that knist Believers together. It is the outpouring of the Love of God that causes every joint to supply the others needs,

“From whom the whole body fitly joined together and compacted by that which every joint supplieth, according to the effectual working in the measure of every part, maketh increase of the body unto the edifying of itself in love.”

Ephesians 6:14

God with us

The Tabernacle experience is God with us. The nature of God is love and only that love will cause us to lay down our earthly desires and fix our eyes upon what is real: The New Heavens and New Earth.  We are holding on so tightly to things that are passing away that we do not allow God to manifest Himself through us.  Moreover, the work of the ministry languishes because we focus on our own pain and insecurity that we fail to hear the instructions of our Great Shepherd that could change everything in our lives for the better in an instant.

Tabernacles is coming

I say to you, by the Spirit of Almighty God, that there is coming a day when the Body of Christ will unite through the shared experience of Tabernacles.  We will become one through a mighty outpouring of God’s love which will cause each joint in the Body of Christ to supply that which the other one needs.  In a moment, everything we have been clutching so tightly will fall from our fatigued hands as we simply allow God to manifest in and through our flesh.  All the control and fear that has been instilled in God’s people will evaporate and the churches will empty as God’s people leave the prisons of their minds and go froth into the world, to the highways and byways, and compel the lost to attend the marriage supper of the Lamb.

Do you feel it?

Change is in the wind just and moisture before a spring rain.  It is coming for we can feel it.  The latter rain is about to bring forth a mighty harvest and abundant increase in the Body of Christ.  Every joint suppies what the other one needs building us up into a perfect man through God’s Divine Love.  Amen.

Turn it up and believe it!
