Be
Perfect, therefore as your Heavenly Father is Perfect.
(Matthew
5:48)
God
Almighty testified concerning David:
'I
have found David son of Jesse a man after My Own heart;
He
will do everything I want him to do.' (Acts 13:22)
God
Almighty is Perfect because that is the essence of His Nature.
He
is inherently Perfect.
Because
of this, He is the Way, the Truth and the LIFE;
The
only Way, the only Truth and the only LIFE. (John 14:6)
He
created mankind Perfect.
Adam
and Eve in the Garden of Eden were Perfect.
They
were Perfect until they Disobeyed God.
This
Disobedience brought death.
Because
they sinned, they were cast out of Eternal LIFE
Into
Mortal life.
From
that time on everyone born of woman is born into Disobedience.
If
God requires that we be Perfect as He is Perfect,
How
are we as mortal humans able to become Perfect?
Only
through Obedience.
And
this Obedience is not something we can accomplish by ourselves.
There
is nothing in us that can enable us to be Perfect.
Only
Christ living in and through us can enable us to be Perfect--
To
have a Perfect heart toward God--
To
be in Perfect Agreement with God.
In
Heaven all is Perfect--
All
is in Perfect Agreement with God--
In
fact all are ONE with God—Perfect.
Christ
Jesus prayed:
Father,
protect them by the Power of Your Name--
The
Name You have given Me--
So
that they may be ONE as We are ONE. (John 17:11)
My
prayer is not for them [the
first disciples] alone.
I
pray also for those who will believe in Me through their message,
That
all of them may be ONE, Father,
JUST
AS YOU ARE IN ME AND I AM IN YOU.
May
they also be in us
SO
THAT THE WORLD MAY BELIEVE THAT YOU HAVE SENT ME.
I
have given them the Glory that You gave Me,
That
they may be ONE as We are ONE.
I
in them and You in Me.
MAY
THEY BE BROUGHT TO COMPLETE UNITY
To
let the World know that You sent Me
And
have loved them even as You have love Me. (John 17:20-23)
Realize
that Christ Jesus is not talking here about the by and by--
He
is talking about the HERE AND NOW.
So
that the World will believe that He was sent by God, the Father.
We
cannot be ONE with Christ Jesus and the Father without being Perfect.
We
cannot have COMPLETE UNITY unless we are Perfect.
The
World cannot know that Christ Jesus was sent by the Father
Unless
they see God's People as Perfect.
How
do we become ONE with Christ Jesus and the Father?
Only
one way—by Christ living fully, in and through us.
That
is the only way.
We
must be crucified with Christ to this Wicked World,
Ruled by Satan;
Giving
up our lives and allowing Christ to live in and through us;
Living
by Faith in the Son of God and His Power at work in us.
Setting
our hearts on things above,
Having
our lives hidden with Christ in God;
Clothing
ourselves with the garments of Christ
And
letting His Word dwell richly in us.
We
must be baptized with the Holy Spirit and with Fire. (Matthew
3:11)
We
must have our personal Day of Pentecost. (Acts 2:4)
We
must walk in all that Christ Jesus is
And
has made available to us.
No
eye has seen, no ear has heard, no mind has conceived
What
God has prepared for those who love Him'
But
God has revealed it to us by His Spirit.
The
Spirit searches all things, even the Deep things of God.
(1
Corinthians 2:9-10)
Christ
Jesus said:
I
have much more to say to you, more than you can now bear.
But
when He, the Spirit of Truth, comes,
He
will guide you into ALL TRUTH.
He
will not speak on His Own;
He
will speak only what He hears,
And
He will tell you what is yet to come. (John 16:13)
Be
Perfect, therefore as your Heavenly Father is Perfect.
(Matthew
5:48)
Today,
the World is raging against God, rushing toward oblivion. (Psalm 2)
This
World in its present form is passing away. (1 Corinthians 7:31)
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!
