Littlle Person and Uri were taking longer rides. They talked and talked and talked.
Today, Little Person brought up some thoughts he was thinking about to Uri.
Can I tell you about some of the things I started to ask Holy Spirit? They have been sort of bubbling up in me, asked Little Person.
Uri said, go ahead and shoot!
He proceeded, well, as written our King Jesus is the Beginning and is the End, then I see in Colossians, Christ will be all and in all. I came to the conclusion, then we are in the fullness of God as His body. In Him is where we are complete. We are waiting with Him in manifestation. Do you see this?
She said, uh, repeat that again. One scripture at a time, ok?
He did, Our King Jesus is the Beginning and the End as written in Revelation 22:13: I am Alpha and Omega, the beginning and the end, the first and the last.
Blessed are they that do his commandments, that they may have right to the tree of life, and may enter in through the gates into the city.
For without are dogs, and sorcerers, and whoremongers, and murderers, and idolaters, and whosoever love and make a lie.
Okay, she thought.
Then he proceeded: it is written Christ Jesus will be all and in all in Colossians 3:11, In this new creation all distinctions vanish.] There is no room for and there can be neither Greek nor Jew, circumcised nor uncircumcised, [nor difference between nations whether alien] barbarians or Scythians who are the most savage of all], nor slave or free man; but Christ is all and in all [everything and everywhere, to all men, without distinction of person].
Okay, she added after thinking. She spoke, can we get off the horses and sit at the river. We need to look at these scriptures, please.
Sure, he agreed. They galloped almost as a race to the river.
They let the horses graze after they all were all replenished from the river.
The seekers sat down on the grass with their feet in the river, plowing through the scriptures.
Little Person said, look at John 1, see how Jesus is presented to us in verses 1-3:
John 1:1-3: In the beginning [before all time] was the Word (Christ), and the Word was with God, andthe Word was God Himself. He was [continually existing] in the beginning [co-eternally] with God. All things were made and came into existence through Him; and without Him not even one thing was made that has come into being.
Then in Colossians 2:8-11 it is written: See to it that no one takes you captive through philosophy and empty deception [pseudo-intellectual babble], according to the tradition [and musings] of mere men, following the elementary principles of this world, rather than following [the truth—the teachings of] Christ.
For in Him all the fullness of Deity (the Godhead) dwells in bodily form [completely expressing the divine essence of God].
And in Him you have been made complete [achieving spiritual stature through Christ], and He is the head over all rule and authority [of every angelic and earthly power].
In Him you were also circumcised with a circumcision not made with hands, but by the [spiritual] circumcision of Christ in the stripping off of the body of the flesh [the sinful carnal nature],
So then knowing this should not we be praying that we apprehend all He has given us to be as it is written in 1 John 4:17: In this [union and fellowship with Him], love is completed and perfected with us, so that we may have confidence in the day of judgment [with assurance and boldness to face Him]; because as He is, so are we in this world, Little Person asked Uri.
Wow, she thought.
He continued, I mean if God never changes as written in Hebrews 13:8: Jesus Christ (the Messiah) is [always] the same, yesterday, today, [yes] and forever (to the ages).
He was and is and is to be forever and amen, then as we continue to die in Him, as we have in truth but in our daily experience apprehending and conforming to His death. Then we are raised in the power of His resurrection, we should attain by Holy Spirit what He has called us to be…… His body which fills the world with Himself……. Christ will be all and in all.
I know this will happen to our bodies when we die in the natural but we are in the process of His sanctification of our soul as we are in His school of discipleship. We die in Him a thousand deaths and are raised in Him by His resurrection power every time. This happens as we say yes to Him and no to our flesh in every area of living. This is our life of faith, right?
For Ephesians states in chapter three, verses 16-21: May He grant you out of the riches of His glory, to be strengthened and spiritually energized with power through His Spirit in your inner self, [indwelling your innermost being and personality], so that Christ may dwell in your hearts through your faith. And may you, having been [deeply] rooted and [securely] grounded in love, be fully capable of comprehending with all the saints (God’s people) the width and length and height and depth of His love [fully experiencing that amazing, endless love]; and [that you may come] to know [practically, through personal experience] the love of Christ which far surpasses [mere] knowledge [without experience], that you may be filled up [throughout your being] to all the fullness of God [so that you may have the richest experience of God’s presence in your lives, completely filled and flooded with God Himself].
Now to Him who is able to [carry out His purpose and] do superabundantly more than all that we dare ask or think [infinitely beyond our greatest prayers, hopes, or dreams], according to His power that is at work within us, to Him be the glory in the church and in Christ Jesus throughout all generations forever and ever. Amen.
I hear in services how we should try to fix ourselves. How can we? We needed Him as our Savior to begin. As written in Galatians, how can we think we can take it from there on?….. His Spirit has set us apart for Him alone to do His good pleasure in us from His Beginning continuing until His End…. We can try to fix ourselves, but we cannot flood ourselves with His fullness. Only by the power of Holy Spirit.
Uri agreed and spoke, that is a given. If I could have fixed myself, if all addictions could be fixed by the owner, then why do we call out to Him? Because we cannot. We are powerless over the wiles of the devil.
He continued, so as we die with Him on every count which Holy Spirit brings to us in check by thought, sight or action that is of the old person, then we grow in Christ, or He enlarges Himself in us as the resurrected powerful God He is…….
The exceedingly great power of God that works in us…..she answered.
Little Person, yes, your right!
Jesus Christ is the resurrection power working us, right, Little Person agreed.
They grabbed their notebooks and pen and started to write down all that they were talking about in scriptures.
Uri smiling looked at Little Person, Holy Spirit sure does show up where two or more people are together in His name!! Thank You, Lord. We love knowing You more.
So Little Person spoke out his thoughts, so we must be rooted and grounded in Christ alone. See, I think when stuff comes against me and against you and the whole body of Christ, we must know Him and know His purpose for us. The more we know Him which increases the strength of our stand. Then maybe the less we will fall out through the storms.
The storms come, not from God, but from evil. He comes to steal, kill and destroy. However, God uses them for good. These storms make our roots go down deep in Christ….. We only have victory in Him.
We know Him and stand in Him, the Word of God, as we did from the Beginning of Him saving us, and allow all His Word to state in us is: In the beginning was the word. The Word was with God. The Word is God……. See, we are standing on the Rock, the Word of God and the Word of God is in us too!
The only Thing that lasts through all of this age and the next and all eternity is His Word…… Christ will be all and in all.
Jesus Christ on the earth in the flesh was with God and was God. Now our King is seated next to the Almighty. The First resurrected born of the new creation is God.He is in His new creation as we cannot exist in His new creation without being in Him.
I just think that when we meet our King. He will see if we have acted from His mind as written in 1 Corinthians 2:16, The man without the Spirit does not accept the things that come from the Spirit of God, for they are foolishness to him, and he cannot understand them, because they are spiritually discerned. “For who has known the mind of the Lord that he may instruct him?” But we have the mind of Christ.
And if we have apprehended Him with as strong as an intent as He apprehended us.
God never sets a standard for us if He does not equip us for the battle and job to be as He was in the earth. He is a just God.
Little Person just realized he was speaking his thoughts out loud and in Uri’s presence. He put his head down in embarrassment.
She stood up and yelled, don’t you dare put your head down. Look up to your heavenly Father for He is the One giving you this revelation of His Beloved Son. It shall never be taken from you. Praise Him all of His creation. Hey, you horses praise your Creator now!
They neighed as they lifted their heads then went back to munching on grass.
Do you not see how you are glowing and you have an armor on like from the medieval days? asked Uri.
Little Person felt his ears. They were very hot. When Holy Spirit speaks to him, he knows it is Him because his ears get bright red and very hot to the touch.
He said, no, I did not. Still embarrassed because of his going on in front of Uri. He kept the manifestations of Holy Spirit to himself until now.
Why were you thinking of all of this? Asked Uri.
Little Person lifted his gaze towards her.
He said………..
Answer to come next week, God willing.
SELAH!
