Why Christ Died?

Why Christ Died?

God forgave in the Old Testament because forgiveness is a characteristic of love and God is love. So … why did Christ die?

2 Chronicles 7:14 if My people who are called by My name will humble themselves, and pray and seek My face, and turn from their wicked ways, then I will hear from heaven, and will forgive their sin and heal their land.

Christ died to remove the need for forgiveness.

In the sanctified human vessel of Jesus, God entered human flesh to reconcile His creation back to Himself. For there to be reconciliation, unrighteousness had to be destroyed because God is holy. By infusing His powerful spirit of truth and love into this earth through Christ; in time that spirit would destroy the lies, the sin, thus death WITHIN mankind leaving righteousness to reign. 2 Corinthians 5:19

By becoming one of us, God entered the pit, darkness, sin, death, this flesh world and He infused His spirit of light here, as a root, to be resurrected in us in the end days. Romans 5:10 Isaiah 53:2 This resurrection of His Spirit IN mankind would bring in His eternal reign of righteousness by transforming mankind’s souls. As long as any reign is external people will stray, the reign has to be on the inside, this is what God did through Christ. Jesus Christ physically resurrecting 2000 years ago was a testimony of His powerful resurrection to occur in mankind when His spirit resurrects many in the end days. John 6:40, Romans 5:12-21, 2 Peter 1:19

As Christ spirit grows in us; we become holy creations living righteously. Romans 5:17 Thus righteousness begins to be established in the earth.

This union of our spirit and Christ’s spirit is the marriage of us and Christ. The consummation of the marriage occurs as Christ enters our spirit and places His seed of light is us that grows in us into eternal creations. Proverbs 4:18 As with a human marriage, which is consummated by the joining of the male and female, so we are married to Christ when His Spirit infuses ours and a new spirit is born in us. This is in part why we receive a new name, because we have a new spirit. Matthew 16:17-18, Revelation 2:17 When He starts bringing us to life by infusing our spirit with His, then we have eternal life for the corrupted spirit in us drys up as His spirit of righteousness grows within us. His spirit destroys all sin, takes over, and governs our souls for eternity. Thus, we are one with Him for eternity. John 17:3, 17, 21-22

The Holy Spirit has been here since the physical resurrection of Christ Jesus to prepare us to be unified to Christ’s Spirit. This is why He is our teacher to teach us all things. 1 John 2:27 Christ is at the door. Rev 3:20 Those who answer the knocking and embrace Christ’s spirit are those who sought God in truth and spirit, were taught by the Holy Spirit, and went through the death of their corrupted spirit so they could receive a new spirit. Matthew 22:14, Revelation 12:11 They have a true fear of God and follow Him alone, versus, following the commandments of mankind/religion. Proverbs 19:23, Isaiah 29:13 By the Holy Spirit, they’ve been prepared with the spirit of wisdom to be joined with Christ’s spirit. John 6:45 Their growth begins the establishment of Christ’s kingdom on earth; a kingdom that comes from within out. Matthew 13:31, 1 Corinthians 15:22-24 They are the peacemakers, as Christ’s spirit joined to theirs makes peace in them and around them. Matthew 5:9

Because Christ is coming within us; He is coming as a thief to many. Revelation 3:3, 16:15 But to the elect, first fruits, He isn’t a thief for they are experiencing this union within them that is changing everything. 1 Thess 5:4 They are increasing in righteousness, love, honor, kindness, thus peace and rest in these days of mounting tribulation for others. 2 Thess 1:7-8, Proverbs 15:24 But as the elect continue to grow, the spirit of Christ in the earth will be undeniable. In the coming days, it will be made known who is filled with Christ and who isn’t as His spirit will show itself mighty in the souls joining to Him. 1 Corinthians 4:5,Matthew 7:22, Matthew 25:32-33

Christ died and resurrected to bring a fallen mankind back to God because of His love for us. To understand the purpose of His life is to understand the mystery of the gospel of eternal life. Romans 16:25 This is why if you are looking on the outside for Christ’s return at this time, you are looking in the wrong place.

Living Day to Day

Living Day to Day

To live day-to-day or to be present-minded, thus to not worry about tomorrow, brings abundant peace and rest as it prohibits worry and fear from talking hold for there are no anxious thoughts of the future for these to grab a hold of.

Isaiah 26:3 You will keep him in perfect peace, Whose mind is stayed on You, Because he trusts in You.

Hebrews 4:12 Let us therefore be diligent to enter that rest, lest anyone fall according to the same example of disobedience.

This state of mind comes from trusting God. To let go of an unknown future requires either no care (which is to cease to love and refusing to know love) or trust in an all-powerful loving God.

How do you trust God? Know Him in truth and spirit.

We have to seek to know God as we would do with anyone. We have to come to know Him as He is and not by the false images portrayed by organized religion. The constructs of His character have to be established within our minds. Romans 12:2 This is what it means to know someone and trust them because you know their character and it’s a nature you can have great confidence in, even in the unknown. Proverbs 3:26 We trust in not knowing the future, but in God and His character which is faithful, loving and all-powerful.

One of the key aspects to know about God in order to fully trust Him is His love. This sounds obvious and easy, but in a world where love has been tainted in every which way; coming to know His love to a point of a deep trust is something that is built over time. Yet, it can only be built if we consistently and diligently engage God in truth and spirit.

This world has not known the love of God. They have known false images of God that proclaim love but are infused with fear, guilt, and control because those images came out of the corrupted nature of man. It’s mankind creating his own image of God; the essence of religions. We can only know God by seeking for ourselves. It’s an individual endeavor. We can’t know Him from another person. The only way to know God and His love is to go to Him one-on-one and learn about Him personally through our circumstances as He teaches from within, because that is where God meets us and comes to us, within. Because God is an infinite spirit, there is no end to knowing Him.

The deep hunger in our soul; the part that desires to be filled, known, eternally accepted and loved, is the longing to be connected to the source of love in the deepest truest way. This is the place in us created by God for Him to fill and only He can for He created it in us for Himself. He did this because He loves us and desires a bond of love with us. True contentment comes by being filled and united with His presence, the Great Spirit who gives life to our souls.

When we come to this unity; peace rules our minds and hearts.

Colossians 3:15 And let the peace of God rule in your hearts, to which also you were called in one body; and be thankful.

Pulled out of the Pit

Pulled out of the Pit

 

QUESTION: Are you following Christ out of the pit and into the Kingdom? OR are you clinging (unknowingly or knowingly) to the sides of the pit by remaining in sin and unbelief?

Isaiah 1:18-20 Come now, and let us reason together,” says the Lord, Though your sins are like scarlet, they shall be as white as snow; Though they are red like crimson, They shall be as wool.  If you are willing and obedient, You shall eat the good of the land;  But if you refuse and rebel, You shall be devoured by the sword”; For the mouth of the Lord has spoken

25-26 I will turn My hand against you, And thoroughly purge away your dross, And take away all your alloy. I will restore your judges as at the first, And your counselors as at the beginning. Afterward you shall be called the city of righteousness, the faithful city.

The Kingdom of Righteousness is now being established in the earth. This is how it’s occurring…

The Kingdom starts as a mustard seed and grows. Matthew 13:31-33 It grows from within out. Luke 17:21 Because it’s NOW being established, we NOW have the power and grace of Christ moving IN US pulling us out of the pit and purging us from all corruption; IF we embrace Him, the truth, Word of God. Rev 19:13, 1 Peter 1:13, Isaiah 26:12

Isaiah 40:5 The glory of the LORD shall be revealed, And all flesh shall see it together; For the mouth of the LORD has spoken.

Christ’s spirit IN us transitioning us into the sons/daughters of God is His glory being revealed because this transformation was the purpose of Him entering the flesh and into death. Thus, as Christ’s glory is manifested, those who are truly of God are revealed for His presence in them will become undeniable. John 6:45, Romans 8:18-19

As Christ’s kingdom is established, people are either being pulled out of the pit or clinging to it by remaining in sin. If we cling to it, all will perish for this world of wickedness is passing away. 1 Corin 3:13-15 We will be “burned” by the righteousness of Christ’s spirit as He usurps the wickedness and establishes righteousness.  2 Thess 1:7-8  The spirit of God is the fire to consume the earth. “For our God is a consuming fire.” Hebrews 12:29

Known by Their Fruit

Being pulled out of the pit and into the Kingdom means we are growing in unity with the spirit of wisdom, Christ’s Spirit, speaking to us from within on how to live in righteousness and pure honoring love. As we follow His lead by His power in us, the corruption/sin (anger, bitterness, hypocritical love, judging spirit, lust of eyes/flesh, idols, false images, unbelief, etc.) is purged from our lives. If we aren’t following; it’s not being purged. According to our hearts being changed or not, each one of us is witnessing either increasing good fruit or bad fruit in our lives. Luke 6:44, Proverbs 11:18-19

Proverbs 11:3-5 The integrity of the upright will guide them, But the perversity of the unfaithful will destroy them. Riches do not profit in the day of wrath, But righteousness delivers from death. The righteousness of the blameless will direct his way aright, But the wicked will fall by his own wickedness.

The path we’ve really chosen, despite our professions and religions, is becoming more apparent as our fruit reveals our choice. Until now, the wheat and tares looked similar as the glory of Christ hadn’t been manifested in people’s souls. But as He starts to rise in our hearts, those sowing unity with His spirit will experience increasing peace, love, joy, rest, wisdom, understanding, prosperity, protection, and healing. Those not following His Spirit will experience increasing angst from abiding in the pit of darkness; unrest, suffering, pain, affliction, and hardship. These difficulties serve to turn souls from the paths of death to the paths of life to become renewed unto eternal life. Matthew 13:28-30

Growing Division

This separation caused by the Spirit of Christ will cause a great division in this earth. This division causes the kingdom of darkness to fall; for a kingdom divided can’t stand. As evil’s reign has made ALL a slave to sin; righteousness’ reign will make ALL a slave to righteous love. Isaiah 26:9 , 1 Corinthians 15:22 Christ will reign, until He puts an end to all powers contrary to Him. 1 Corin 15:22-26 It’s a reign within our hearts because that is where the fruit of this earth is produced. Everything starts from within, thus this is were restoration begins and ends.

This earth and all that it is, is being transformed by the souls transitioning into sons/daughters of light. This earth is what it is because of the souls that live in it. Change the souls; change the earth. Change the souls by changing the power of the air from Satan to Christ. Ephesians 2:2

What fruit your heart is producing signifies which way you are headed. If it is in the wrong direction; now is the time to seek the will of God and start following His spirit of wisdom leading you from within in the paths of peace and the purest of love.

Holiness Leads to Happiness

Holiness Leads to Happiness

Do you believe this truth; holiness leads to happiness?

My life testifies to this truth; though when I look around it’s dismissed by a multitude of lies, as it once was in my life. The main one being you can’t be truly holy AND happy because the path of holiness leads to continual sacrifice, thus suffering and lack. This is the world’s lie, when in reality the opposite is true; holiness leads to happiness. This lie keeps us from seeking it, thus truly seeking to walk in oneness with God and His perfect wisdom that makes our lives a continual feast. Psalm 138:8, Proverbs 15:15  To understand this dynamic of holiness and happiness is a part of knowing the true God.

Purging False Images

To understand this truth and for it to become real in our life, we first have to set aside all images of holiness; cathedrals, nuns, convents, contrived humility/meekness, anything eternal. Mark 7:7-8, 15 Holiness doesn’t come from the external, but internal. It’s of the heart, thus to know it ALL images related to it have to be purged. When we willing offer this clean slate to God; then the deep instruction of God begins. He destroys the lies and replaces them with truth.

What is Holiness?

Holiness =  feeling, thinking and doing what is the most loving and honoring (2 sides of same coin) for ourselves, others and God.

Holiness is the result of an inner transformation of the soul affecting our heart, spirit, and mind. It’s the interworking and result of purity, truth and love that come from being a part of God and obeying God’s truth. We become holy as we obey God’s instruction within our soul; for that is where God communes with us. When we obey we love. We obey when we love God. We obey because God’s ways are love. As we obey we become united to God. Then, holiness shines in us and lights the space around us.

If you continuously abide in pure love for yourself, others and God, what do you suppose the state of your soul will be?

Yes. Happiness.

Brings Abundant Life

Walking in God’s truth, which is obeying His counsel within our soul, is walking in true wisdom. When we act in wisdom, our life is recreated inside and out. Wisdom transforms not only us, but the space around us. It creates a life of inner and outer growing peace, purpose, rest, purity, healing … truly all things that bring abundant happiness and everlasting joy. Christ spirit in us is our wisdom. 1 Corin 1:30, 2 Peter 1:4 His Spirit within us counsels and instructs us in all wisdom, which is the most loving and honoring decision that results in holiness.

Becoming a Vessel of Honor

Once we truly start seeking God, our sin is used for refinement. The consequences of the sin (as an illness, hardship, angst, unrest, stress, etc) present a sign that we are going against God’s will, which we don’t desire for it leads to all those things we don’t want. If we are of God, we desire to abide in love and not have any sin abiding in us. We want purged all that is contrary to God, so we can dwell in perfect unity with Him.  2 Peter 3:11, 13-14 We need wisdom’s rebukes in our spirit so we can walk in the way of righteousness. Proverbs 1:23 As we grow in obedience, which is growing in love; the result is holiness. If we take away honor or love, then we take away holiness and joy.

Happy is he who trusts in God. When we trust we obey. If we trust external things to bring us honor/value/love, we’ll block holiness thus happiness.

Psalm 146:5 Happy is he who has the God of Jacob for his help, Whose hope is in the LORD his God,

Ask God to build this truth in your life. This transformation within your soul is now possible as Christ is making His home in the souls prepared for Him. Rev 3:8, John 10:9 His spirit in us compels, enables, and empowers us to walk in the purest of love. Without His spirit, we can do nothing. With it nothing is impossible. His spirit is the morning star that is now rising in our souls. As we go through this transition, we are becoming a part of God’s house built without hands for Him to dwell in forever. Ephesians 2:20-21

Psalm 144:15 Happy are the people who are in such a state; Happy are the people whose God is the LORD!
