That the eyes of your understanding would be enlightened (Ephesians 1:16-23)....This is spiritual meat mainly meant for the STRONG.
Christ blood hides our sin, Christ righteousness makes us shine with the presence of God. Jesus Christ is our life. Jesus Christ is our goodness. Jesus Christ is our holiness. Jesus Christ is our righteousness. Jesus Christ is our salvation. Jesus Christ is our redemption. Jesus Christ is our resurrection and the life. Jesus Christ is our way, our truth, our life. No one accesses God but thru Jesus Christ.
Since you cannot cast out any devil on earth in your own name or in the strength of your own self righteousness or holiness (for such in their own strength have not the power to do so), how then do you think you shall enter into Gods highest glory far above, in the strength or power of your own same name. You need, I need, we all need Christ and all he is and all his power and peace with God.
If we cannot cast out devils on earth thru the glory of our own names, or thru the glory of our own holiness and righteousness and we can't. Try it and see what happens. They will strip your cloths off as they did those 7 sons in the book of Acts. Then how do you think you can stand in your fame or in your own name before Almighty God (in the fame plus shame that is in your own name) and in your own self goodness or righteousness? There you will be cast out. You need Christ to be your all in all. He is the sure thing, the real deal. He is already seated at Gods right hand in the Throne and when you have made Christ your life, your acceptance, your righteousness and holiness and your everything, then you sit there with him in peace with God, even as he is at peace with the Father. As you see yourself THERE as one of the body parts of Christ own Body who sits in the throne at peace with God our Dad.
I give you this revelation. The Spirit of the Lord has sat with the Father in His Throne for eternity. Spirit in Spirit they are and have been since before ever. The risen body of Christ that is now also seated with God in the throne, that body represents THE CHURCH there. The Body there represents the body of Christ which is the Church and the Eternal Spirit fully is and represents God. Together it is God and His Church, Husband and Bride/Wife forever sharing the Husbands Name, Riches, Wealth, Power, and Authority. On that great Throne the Husband loves His wife as himself perfectly in all things. It is the perfect match. God brought Eve to Adam. God brought the church to Christ His Son. We are the Bride of Christ.
The Lord opened my eyes to understand the DEEPER MEANING of what it means for us to be HIS FLESH, for us to be HIS BONE, to be HIS BODY. He caused me to see that we THE CHURCH, we are really the actual Body of Someone who is EXCEEDINGLY GREAT, matter of fact the great One that I am talking about is the Lord from heaven Himself. It is HIS BODY we are.....His Body.
He opened my eyes to see that being His Body, THE BODY OF CHRIST, OF CHRIST, OF CHRIST, HIS BODY, he said that that POSITION of being HIS BODY and that PLACE or placement is the position and the place of the second greatest position of honor and the second greatest placement and place of belonging that exist in all of heaven and earth. He said there is the Godhead which is the first and chiefest seat and the chiefest and highest eternal power and authority in all of heaven and earth. Then right next to the Godhead is where the Church is positioned and placed. It was and is God Himself that wanted us there in that second highest place of honor and it was the Lord himself that wanted it that way and that way forever US IN HIM AND HE IN US.
God deeply and dearly loves His Wife the Church, the Bride and Body of Christ. We being His Body gives us (the Church) GREAT HONOR & HIGH BELONGING. You think king Herod was hot in love for Herodius' his wife's daughter as to offer her up to HALF of his kingdom and possessions? That was puppy love compared to the greatness of Gods love for us His Wife/Bride, THE CHURCH. God has not given us half of His Kingdom but THE WHOLE THING. Jesus said this himself. He said, Do not doubt this love little flock. For it gives God good pleasure to give you THE KINGDOM.
Paul also testified to this truth as well saying, ALL THINGS PRESENT, PAST OR FUTURE FROM GOD ARE YOURS.
Being Christ flesh and bone, being the Body of the Lord is not just a empty meaningless, powerless phrase people throw around as nothing as they do in powerless church-annity). For being the Lords body, the fulness of Him that the church is, means and REVEALS to us who we belong to and TO WHOM WE ARE A PART OF. TO WHOM WE ARE A PART OF. TO WHOM WE ARE A PART OF. TO WHOM WE ARE A PART OF. TO WHOM WE ARE A PART OF. TO WHOM WE ARE A PART OF.....Come on Church. Come on Body Of Christ. Our feet are a part of Who? Our legs are a part of Who? Our hands are a part of Who? In the natural, your own feet and your own hands, who do they belong to? You right? THATS RIGHT. Then your feet and hands are just as much a part of you as you are of yourself. We THE CHURCH are the hands, fingers, feet, toes, legs, back, of WHO?????....Jesus Christ who is the HEAD of His Body. Christ is our Head and we are his flesh and bone of the same ONE BODY. We, His Body, the Body of Christ are just as much a part of Jesus Christ our Head as he is of himself. God made us one forever from the Cross the the Throne of endless life, peace, and everlasting love.
When I actually saw it and it took time, that sight, that love sight connection amazed me and began to set me free even more. The Lord opened my eyes and I saw and I quote much what the Spirit caused to me to hear and to see (Acts 8:29), They that are My flesh and bone, they that are My Body, they that are My Bodies Members (Pay attention here)...He said are just as much a part of Me as I am of Myself. This oneness revelation is from the language of Gods love for those of us who are IN CHRIST JESUS, who are His Flesh and bone BODY.
Jesus Christ is our all in all, even our total redemption grace identification. Complete these sentences. We are the body members of _______ ______. We are the flesh and bone of _______ ______. We are risen with _______ _______. Does Jesus Christ have feet? Legs? Arms? Hands? Then we HIS BODILY MEMBERS are the body of ________ _______.
Now that brothers and sisters is incredible BELONGING IDENTIFICATION. That is being a PART OF SOMETHING HUGE, AND OF SOMEONE SO SPECIAL AND SO WONDERFUL AND EVEN FAR ABOVE ALL.
If we belong to another's body, or to another's fame or name, then we do not belong to the Lord. Those who are the Lords, those who are His Body are as much a part of Christ now as Christ is of God. They are inseparable as the Godhead. Truly God loves His wife as himself.
Friends those words, they are words from such great love that the world knows not, does not understand, and even many religious people cannot see or would dare to accept them by saying, How could we possibly be as much a part of Jesus as He is of Himself. But nonetheless the love that that ONENESS WITH CHRIST IS BASED ON, those truths are founded upon GODS GREATEST LOVE of all. They (those words) are entirely true and can be seen and understood thru the BODY OF CHRIST light and thru the Body of Christ connection to Christ. We are His Body, His Flesh and Bone, The Members of His Own Flesh risen with Christ indeed.....deno......share freely.
