WHERE YOU ARE



 WHERE YOU ARE

 

Where are YOU?

 

Are you stuck here on Earth in bondage to all the elements of this world? (Gal4:3)

Or…

Are you seated at the right hand of the Father in Heavenly places? 

 

 

Eph2:6AMP "And HE RAISED US UP together with Him [when we believed], and SEATED US with Him in the heavenly places, [because we are] in Christ Jesus,"

 

 

DO I ALREADY HAVE ETERNAL LIFE... or am I going to have it someday?

 

Jn3:36NKJV “He who believes in the Son HAS everlasting life..."

 

1Jn5:13ERV “…I write so that you will know that you have eternal life NOW”

 

 

So... when DO I have ALL the promises of God?

 

2Cor1:20NKJV “For ALL the promises of God in Him are Yes,

and in Him Amen,

to the glory of God through us.”

 

 

Do I finally have them when I die?

     ...Or do I have them as soon as I believe?

 

 

1Thes5:23NKJV “Now may the GOD OF PEACE Himself sanctify you COMPLETELY; and may your WHOLE SPIRIT, SOUL, AND BODY be preserved blameless at the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ.”

 

 

Am I sanctified COMPLETELY and preserved  blameless AS A WHOLE… SPIRIT, SOUL, AND BODY... or am I going to be someday only after I die?

                 

His appearing only proves…

…I AM... ALREADY

 

 

In our  Western culture and way of thinking we tend to separate... compartmentalize... Keep this house divided asunder...and only one day will I possibly be ONE, WHOLE, UNIFIED CREATURE.

 

But even the Greek word for “SAVED”  is “SOZO”: saved, healed, get on well, prospered,

TO BE MADE WHOLE!

 

AND… the thought, intent, purpose, and motive behind the Hebrew word “SHALOM” (peace) is

TO BE WHOLE!

 

 

SO… is this all just in the Spirit… or does Christ see us as WHOLE in Him?

 

 

 AM I NOT ONE WHOLE NEW CREATURE NOW?

                  2Cor5:17AMPC “Therefore if any person is [ingrafted] in Christ (the Messiah)

he is a new creation (a new creature altogether)…”

 

 

This is not for someday yonder…

Rom5:17KJV “…they which receive abundance of grace and of the gift of righteousness

shall REIGN IN LIFE by one, Jesus Christ.”

 

Mtt6:10AMP “Your kingdom come,

Your will be done ON EARTH 

                                                      …AS IT IS in heaven.

 

 

1Cor6:19-20NKJV “…YOUR BODY is the temple of the Holy Spirit…  

          [YOUR BODY IS!]

…therefore glorify God IN YOUR BODY 

…and in your spirit, 

…which are God's."

 

 

Gal2:20KJV “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.”

 

 

If you are now living by HIS faith...

     ..,WHAT DOES HE BELIEVE?

 

 

HE BELIEVES:

... YOU ARE a NEW CREATURE in Christ

    ...YOU ARE a son of God

       ...YOU ARE already raised with Him

         ...YOU ARE already seated with Him

            ...YOU ARE ruling and reigning IN LIFE 

               AS ONE in Christ Jesus.

 

 

THAT IS…

          WHERE YOU ARE!

CIRCUMCISION OF THE HEART

  CIRCUMCISION OF THE HEART   What is CIRCUMCISION ?   According to the Merriam Webster Dictionary, CIRCUMCISION is a surgery to remove the skin (called the foreskin) that covers the tip of the penis. While the benefits of CIRCUMCISION has long been debated, the American Academy of Pediatrics states, “ CIRCUMCISION lowers the risk of certain diseases, infections, cancers, and other conditions often related to bacteria and other contaminants.”   It is interesting that before science figured out it was advantageous for mankind, YAHWEH stated, “and you shall be CIRCUMCISED in the flesh of your foreskins, and it shall be a sign of THE COVENANT between Me and you.” (Gen17:11)   God established a COVENANT that not only protected the procreative instrument of His chosen people, but preserved the purity of the SEED of His COVENANT to be passed from generation to generation.   The problem with the FIRST COVENANT : …it was dependent upon both parties doing their...

AND DAVID PERCEIVED

  AND DAVID PERCEIVED     Are you a glass, half full… or a glass, half empty type of person? Some may say that it depends on the situation. Some say it depends on how thirsty you are. No matter the rationale behind it all… your PERCEPTION determines your reality. It doesn't matter if it is true, or not… how you PERCEIVE a situation, person, or life condition determines what YOU BELIEVE to be true and real. Marcus Aurelius in his “Meditations” stated, “Everything we hear is an opinion, not a fact. Everything we see is a perspective , not the truth.”     PERCEPTION is everything!     The Oxford dictionary defines PERCEPTION as, “ the ability to see, hear, or become aware of something through the senses.”     But what if there is another way to PERCEIVE which brings us into a way of processing life through THE TRUTH , rather that allowing PERCEPTION to define TRUTH ?     2Sam5:12KJV records, “And David P...

BE STRONG AND DO EXPLOITS

  BE STRONG AND DO EXPLOITS     "...... but the people that do KNOW their God shall BE STRONG, AND DO EXPLOITS .”  (Dan11:32KJV)     So… what are EXPLOITS ? Oxford Dictionary defines an EXPLOITS as, “bold or daring feats”     Jn14:12NKJV "Most assuredly, I say to you, he who believes in Me, the works that I do he will do also; and greater works than these he will do, because I go to My Father.     Yeah… but how do we start “doing the greater works” or “doing exploits”?     The first part of Daniel 11:32 explains how to get to that place…                   “ the people that do KNOW  their God…”   There's that Hebrew word, “ yada ”, again.                   …the same word used in Gen4:1 where “Adam KNEW (yada) Eve his wife, and she conceived…”  ...
