Seeing Ourselves In Jesus, As Jesus, In All Things!!!!!

Good Morning Precious and Dearly Loved Saint and Child of Our Abba Father!

“Fix your eyes on Jesus, the author and perfecter of your Faith.”     “As Jesus is, so are you, in this world.” 1 John 4:17.      This has to be one of the radical verses in the entire Bible!!!   “As Jesus is, so are you, in this world.”           Of course this is Truth in the Spiritual heavenly realm, but it is nonetheless powerfully true of all people who have received the gift of Jesus for salvation!  As Jesus is right now, in every way, so are you, in this world!

  It doesn’t say, “so will you be when you finally die and go to heaven, you will be like him.”  It doesn’t say that when you get your life completely turned around, and your obedience is perfect, then you will be like Him.  No, the Bible simply says, “As He is, so are you, in this world.”  We need to look past all of our weakness of the flesh and all the weakness of the flesh in others, and see each other as we are in the Spirit!   “So from on we regard no one from a worldly point of view.” 2 Corinthians 5:16.    

  If we have cancer, we see ourselves as Jesus is, perfectly healthy!!!  If we are in debt, we see ourselves in the midst and surrounded by ALL the wealth of heaven!!!!  If we are struggling to love someone, we see them in heaven as perfect as Jesus is, completely whole, with no flaws, completely full of His Love, Joy, Peace……  We see them inside of Christ, one with Him, as Jesus is!!!  We see them through the eyes of the Spirit, as they are where they are seated in the heavenly realms, in Christ Jesus!

 If the doctors say you are “bi-polar”, you see yourself as Jesus is, completely perfected and whole, glorified, righteous, with a perfect mind!!!  If the doctors say you have a “terminal” disease, you see yourself as healthy as Jesus in His glory and you see yourself inside of Him and as He is!!!  If your relationships are struggling, you see yourself and the others in heaven perfectly whole as Jesus is, filled with all of His Love and Joy, with zero darkness inside!!!   In all circumstances, we are to set our hearts and minds on the heavenly realities!!! 

     

   “Since, then, you have been raised with Christ, set your hearts on things above (heavenly realities), where Christ is seated at the right hand of God.  Set your minds on things above (heavenly realities), not on earthly things.  For you have died, and your life is now hidden with Christ in God.” Colossians 3:1-3.      No matter what your circumstance is, no matter how dark or impossible it seems, we just fix our eyes on Jesus and see ourselves in Him, as Him!    Simple, yet eternally all powerful, “AS He is, so are you, in this world.”!!!!!! 

  Short message today.   Hope this penetrates to the depth of your heart, your new, perfect heart, which is as Jesus’ is!!!!            SHALOM!!!!
