Jesus
said:
Now
this is Eternal LIFE: that they may know you,
The
only true God, and Jesus Christ whom you have sent.
(John 17:3)
In
Jeremiah 31, God says through Jeremiah, concerning the New Covenant
The
following:
‘The
time is coming,’ declares the Lord
‘When
I will make a New Covenant with the house of Israel
And
with the house of Judah. [And
the New Covenant Church of God]
It
will not be like the Covenant I made with their forefathers
When
I took them by the hand to lead them out of Egypt,
Because
they broke My Covenant though I was a husband to them,’
Declares
the Lord.
‘This
is the Covenant I will make with the house of Israel after that
time,’
Declares
the Lord.
‘I
will put My Law in their minds and write it on their hearts.
I
will be their God and they will be My people.
No
longer will a man teach his neighbor, or a man his brother,
Saying,
’Know the Lord,’
Because
they will all know Me, from the least of them to the
greatest,’
Declares
the Lord.
For
I will forgive their wickedness and will remember their sins no
more.’
(Jeremiah
31:31-34)
Here
God says that in the New Covenant
He
will put His law in the minds and write it on the hearts of His
people.
When
He does this
It
will not be necessary for another person to teach them to “know”
Him,
Because
they will all “know” Him from the least to the greatest.
The
Apostle John picks up this theme in the New Testament:
But
you have an Anointing from the Holy One,
And
all of you know the Truth.
I
do not write to you because you do not know the Truth,
But
because you do know it
And
because no lie comes from the Truth. (1
John 2:20)
Continuing
John says:
As
for you
The
anointing you received from him remains in you,
And
you do not need anyone to teach you.
But
as His Anointing teaches you about all things
And
as that Anointing is real, not counterfeit
Just
as it has taught you remain in Him. (1 John 2:27)
Here
the apostle John connects “knowing” God
To
the Anointing from The Anointed One.
The
Anointing being that which enables a person to “know” God.
This
reality brings together the Old and New Testaments
Regarding
the nature of the New Covenant,
And
the Anointing, the baptism (immersion) in the Holy Spirit
Imparted
by “The Messiah, The Christ, The Anointed One.”
As
Christ Jesus said, “knowing” God is Eternal LIFE.
It
is Christ in us, the Anointing of The Anointed ONE
That
enables us to “know” God the Father,
And
Christ Jesus and the Father are ONE.
In
order for His Anointing to be effective in us,
We
must fully surrender our will to the will of Christ in us;
We
must be crucified with Christ and no longer live,
But
allow Christ to live in us,
Then
we “know” Him and we are ONE with Him. (John 17)
“Knowing”
Christ and becoming ONE with Him are the synonymous.
We
cannot “know” Him and not be in full agreement with Him.
This
would be an irreconcilable contradiction.
When
we are in full agreement with Him
We
are ONE with Him.
Everything
regarding Faith is initiated by God,
But
requires our submission to His will.
God
speaks to us in His still small voice.
We
hear and respond to that voice.
With
the Faith that God gives us, we make a confession of that Faith.
When
we make a confession of Faith;
When
we make the declaration that Jesus is our Lord,
And
believe in our heart that God raised Him from the dead,
We
are saved out of this world. (Romans 10:9)
We
are washed in the blood of Christ,
And
receive His Holy Spirit.
The
Holy Spirit in us, Christ in us,
The
Anointing of The Anointed ONE in us,
Becomes
our teacher.
We
must then allow our hearts are circumcised by the Holy Spirit,
A
circumcision done by Christ [Colossians 2:11],
So
that we have His heart;
So
that we no longer live but Christ lives in us.
Only
when we surrender our will to His perfect will,
Does
His Kingdom come, and His will be done,
In
us as in heaven.
When
we allow Christ to accomplish this in us,
We
live in His Kingdom, the Secrete Place of the Most High;
And
His Kingdom lives in us.
Then
we “know” Him or rather are “known” by Him. (Galatians 4:9)
Then
we are ONE with Him,
And
have Eternal LIFE in the here and now.
LIVING
IN ETERNAL LIFE IN THE HERE AND NOW
God
has given us Eternal LIFE, and that LIFE is in his Son.
He
who has the Son has LIFE;
He
who does not have the Son of God does not have LIFE. (1 John 5:11)
I
write these things to you who believe in the name of the Son of God
So
that you may know that you have Eternal LIFE. (1 John 5:13)
Christ
is now our LIFE,
And
this LIFE is Eternal as He is Eternal.
We
have died to this world and its ways
We
have been crucified with Christ and we no longer live,
But
it is Christ who lives in and through us,
And
we live in Him.
His
Righteousness, Peace and Joy reign in us.
God
is LOVE and LOVE is our LIFE,
And
His LIFE is our LOVE.
We
live His WAY, by His TRUTH as He lives in and through us.
His
WAY and His TRUTH are above all LOVE.
God
is LIFE itself since He is the Self-Existent ONE.
Without
God (which is a contradiction in itself) there would be NOTHING!
As
He is entirely LIFE, He is entirely LOVE.
As
He is entirely LIFE and LOVE, He is entirely the WAY and the TRUTH.
LIFE,
LOVE, the WAY and the TRUTH, embody God’s Eternal Kingdom.
In
His Kingdom there is ALL provision and everything that is good.
Righteousness,
Love, Peace and Joy reign in God’s Kingdom.
God
is all powerful, all seeing, all knowing, present everywhere.
He
knows everything about us.
He
knows every thought and experience we have ever had.
He
knows how long we will live.
He
created us and made us just the way we are.
We
are fearfully and wonderfully made. (Psalm 139:14)
God
made us in His image, with a soul (mind, will and emotions);
With
a heart to rule over these.
But
when Adam and Eve disobeyed God and fell from His grace,
Their
hearts were corrupted by the knowledge of evil.
Since
we are in the lineage of Adam and Eve we too have corrupted
hearts.
The
only thing that can change our hearts is the Holy Spirit of God.
The
only way He can change our hearts is for us to submit our will to His
will.
Eternity,
LIFE in the Holy Spirit, LIFE in the Kingdom of God
Requires
that we have the pure heart of God,
And
become ONE with Him.
Eternal
LIFE is being ONE with God, FOREVER.
That
which was from the beginning,
Which
we have seen with our eyes,
Which
we have looked at and our hands have touched--
This
we proclaim concerning the Word of LIFE.
The
LIFE appeared;
We
have seen it and testify to it,
And
we proclaim to you the Eternal LIFE,
Which
was with the Father and has appeared to us.
We
proclaim to you what we have seen and heard,
So
that you also may have fellowship with us.
And
our fellowship is with the Father
And
with His Son, Jesus Christ.
We
write this to make our joy complete. (1 John 1:1-4)
See
that what you have heard from the beginning remains in you.
If
it does, you also will remain in the Son and in the Father.
And
this is what He promised us--even Eternal LIFE. (1 John
2:24-25)
God
has given us Eternal
LIFE, and this LIFE is
in his Son.
He
who has the Son has LIFE;
He
who does not have the Son of God does not have LIFE. (1 John 5:11)
We
know also that the Son of God has come
And
has given us understanding,
So
that we may know Him who is True.
And
we are in Him who is True--even in His Son Jesus Christ.
He
is the True God and Eternal LIFE. (1 John 5:20)
We
are ONE on your Spirit
We
are ONE in your blood
We
are ONE by the power of your name
Jesus,
Jesus, Jesus in You we are ONE.
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!
