THE GLORIOUS MYSTERY REVEALED
“And he fell to the earth, and heard a voice saying unto him, Saul, Saul, why persecutest thou me? And he said, Who art thou, Lord? And the Lord said, I am Jesus whom thou persecutest: it is hard for thee to kick against the pricks.”
Acts 9:4-5 (KJV)
Glory! What a mystery revealed!
Saul (now Paul) thought he was persecuting just the saints; little did he know he was dealing with Jesus Himself.
You see, Jesus didn’t ask, “Saul, Saul why are you persecuting my disciples or even my Church”.
Instead, He asked, “Why are you persecuting me?”
This was enough to reveal the New Creation reality to Paul. Jesus didn’t ask that because the New Creation (or the Church) belongs to Him.
NO!
Jesus asked in that manner because He is in “Oneness with the Church”. The Church is His body- The Corporate New Man (the New Creation).
Hallelujah.
Let me be very specific “WE” (the born-again- the New Creation) are the Church (the body of Christ) Corporately and as Individuals. Now WE are not just an extension of Christ on Earth. We are the expression of Christ.
We were made one with Christ Jesus and not separated from Him. We are the visible expression of Him. His very substance!
God never sees Us as different from Christ; instead, He sees Us together with Him. He loves Us just as He loves Jesus, we are victorious just as Jesus is, and we are in right standing with God just as Jesus is.
God never looks at Jesus with anger. (He never looks on Us with anger, we are the Substance of Jesus).
When the world touches Us, they have touched Jesus and we are His substance as He is our element. Anytime the world sees Us, they have seen Jesus. He talks through Us and lives through Us.
As a New Creation, you are the talking and the walking Christ.
He loves and comforts others through you, so live with confidence every day because you are the revelation of Jesus!
Bear this in mind:
Now even though the Lord is with you, He is also in you. “even the Spirit of truth, whom the world cannot receive, because it neither sees him nor knows him. You know him, for he dwells with you and will be in you.“ John 14:17 (ESV)
The one in Christ (the new creation) has a mingled spirit, joined to the Lord. The truth is, the Lord in you is your authentic self.
Galatians 2:20:
“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.”
The real you within is Christ, and you are insoluble in nature and essence. Therefore, live daily in the consciousness of your true self.
Selah!
DIG DEEPER
(John 15:1-11; John 17:20-23; Ephesians 2:13-16; Romans 8:10-11; 1 Corinthians 12:13; 1 Corinthians 6:17)
WE PRAY
That our experience of our oneness with God will be deepened.
BIBLE READING IN THE YEAR 2024
1 Kings 2 – 4
DECLARE THESE WORDS:
– I am one with Christ, His substance and expression.
– God sees me as He sees Christ.
– When you touch me you’ve touched Christ.
– When men see me, they have seen Christ.
– I am eternally one with Christ and inseparable from Him.
– He walks through me and talks through me.
OH Hallelujah, GLORY TO GOD!!!
