The Mystery Still Hidden

The apostle Paul declared:

God gave me to present to you the Word of God in its fullness--

The Mystery that has been hidden for ages and generations,

But is now disclosed to the saints.

To them God has chosen to make known among the Gentiles

The glorious riches of this Mystery,

Which is Christ in you the hope of glory.

We proclaim Him, admonishing and teaching everyone with all wisdom,

So that we may present everyone prefect in Christ.

To this end I labor, struggling with all His energy,

Which so powerfully works in me. (Colossians 1:25-29)

Today this Mystery remains hidden to many who claim the name of Christ.

Today, most people think of Christianity as a religion;

That it is a collection of those who believe that Jesus Christ is the Son of God;

The One Who came and died on the Cross of Calvary for our sins;

The One Who promised to come again.

The problem is that even the demons believe that and shudder. (James 2:19)

No! Faith in Christ Jesus is not simple believing He is the Son of God;

It is not simply making a confession of Faith;

That He is Lord and that God raised Him from the dead.

That is the necessary beginning point,

But Faith must go beyond the intellectual to a spiritual reality.

Now, Christ must become Lord of your life.

Now, you must be baptized with His Holy Spirit and with Fire,

As He commanded;

Which enables you to walk in the Light of Christ.

No one can walk in the Light of Christ,

Bearing fruit for His Kingdom, in his own strength.

Only Christ in you can withstand the assault of the evil one,

The ruler of this dark world.

Christ Jesus is the Baptizer in His Holy Spirit and with fire.

He commanded that His disciples wait in Jerusalem for the Promise of the Father

And they did, and ten days later they received that which was promised.

Every Christan must have his personal Day of Pentecost as Christ commanded.

Faith in Christ Jesus is a State of Being;

It is Christ living in and through you, controlling every aspect of your life,

Which is the only hope that exists, in all that exists.

Faith in Christ Jesus is a State of Being

The End of which is to present you PREFECT in Christ;

To bring you to a State of becoming ONE with Christ Jesus

As He and the Father are ONE [John 17];

So that the world will know that Christ Jesus was sent by the Father;

Which means that this happens in the here and now, not the by and by.

Have you died with Christ to the basic principals of this world?

Do you submit yourself to its rules?

Do not handle! Do not taste! Do not touch!

These things are all destined to perish with use,

Because they are base on human commands and teachings.

Such regulations indeed have an appearance of wisdom,

With their self-imposed worship, their false humility

And their harsh treatment of the body

But they lack any value in restraining sensual indulgence.

Since, then, you have been raised with Christ,

Set your hearts on things above,

Where Christ is seated at the right hand of God.

Set your minds on things above, not on earthly things.

For you died, and your life is now hidden with Christ in God.

When Christ, Who is your LIFE appears,

Then you will also appear with Him in Glory. (Colossians 2:21-23, 3:1-4)

Understand this, unless you have died with Christ to this world,

You will not be receive by Him when He comes.

This world is the enemy of Christ. (James 4:4)

I pray that all who read this message have died to this wicked world,

And that they will be prepared to meet the Lord when He comes;

That they will be like the five wise virgins

With enough oil of the Holy Spirit to receive their Bridegroom;

To ALL others the door will be shut!

Today, the world is raging against God, rushing toward oblivion. (Psalm 2)

America is being ground to powder because of her SIN against God.

Save yourself from this Corrupt Generation! (Acts 2:40)

As God has written, so shall it be! Hallelujah! Maranatha!

Father, Your Kingdom come, Your will be done, on earth as in Heaven!
