Friends listen. Just as the world is blind by their ignorance of TRUTH and of the scriptures about the curses and about their place and position in hell as the children of the devil, even so there are many Christians still (In their minds are also blind spots about heavenly things), they are still yet blind to their many blessings given them in Christ and blind to the fact that they are NOW the sons and daughters of God raised up together with Christ in the spirit as NEW CREATURES IN CHRIST JESUS (2 Corinthians 5:16-21) and made to sit with Jesus in His heavenly places of high authority far above (Ephesians 2:1-10).........
You see, just as the people of the world are citizens of hell in the spirit, but in their minds understanding and in their minds seeing they are blind to this and laugh at such a thought in their mind, even so believers who are citizens of heaven in their spirit, can still be blind to their blessings and blind to their risen with Christ spiritual state and to their real citizenship in heaven (IN THEIR UNDERSTANDING AND IN THEIR MINDS SEEING) and walk as if they are not risen with Christ, as if they are not redeemed and saved, but are trying to climb the mountain by their own works and effort....
Im so glad that by Jesus Christ and by the gift of the grace of God we who have believed the good report (THE GOSPEL OF THE CROSS AND RESURRECTION OF CHRIST), God Himself has made us alive together with Jesus in the spirit and has raised us up together with Jesus and made us sit together with Jesus in heavenly places BY HIS GRACE.
The reason Jesus had Paul write (Ephesians 2:1-10) was to unveil unto our understanding a GREAT BIG HEAVENLY TRUTH GIVEN US ALL BY GRACE. In these scriptures it says that God has already made us alive together with Christ and God has ALREADY raised us up together with Christ and made us SIT TOGETHER with Jesus in the heavenly places FAR ABOVE in the spirit (That's the MOUNTAIN TOP). He wrote this so that we would see (IN OUR MINDS UNDERSTANDING), we would SEE OURSELVES as ALREADY THERE, not working in the harvest fields for our own salvation's needs, but resting with Jesus by faith in the Power of His Hard Labors on the Cross and not from our own labors to try to save ourselves. Our work now is not to save ourselves but to serve God as the risen sons of God seated in the heavenly places in Christ to help God save others thru the preaching of the Cross and Resurrection of Christ. For how can you preach to others BE YE RECONCILED UNTO GOD when your not sure that you yourself have been? How can you preach boldly salvation when your not sure of your own? The doubting are waist high in luke warm water and in luke warm faith.
YOU SEE Jesus came down from heaven, from HIS HEAVENLY PLACE FAR ABOVE into this world not to become the Son of God but AS THE SON OF GOD sent from Gods heavenly place not of this world. We that are IN CHRIST are down here now as the new born sons and daughters of God NOT OF THIS WORLD in the spirit and we are sent to preach the gospel from the position that WE ARE FROM ABOVE AND FROM BEING RISEN WITH CHRIST (Colossians 3:1-4 & John 17:14-16 & Ephesians 2:1-10 & John 5:24).
Thank God for this precious gift that He has placed us on His Mountain Top with Christ as the gift of God by grace thru faith in Christ blood, death, and resurrection and not by our works BUT BY HIS OWN HARD LABOR IN THE CROSS AND RESURRECTION AND FAR ABOVE ALL ASCENSION OF CHRIST as revealed in Ephesians chapters 1 & 2.....
Friends, its all in the minds understanding. We all have to climb in our minds spiritual sights and understanding to the places we are already at and belong to, and are already citizens of in the spirit whether FAR ABOVE in heaven or FAR BELOW in hell for the needful effects of redemption plus or minus, for there is a heaven to gain which we do in Christ, and there is a hell to shun which all can by Christ. Amen.......deno......please share freely.
