Living From the Heavenly Realities With a "Single-Eye"!

Hello Precious One!

“So from now on we regard no one from a worldly point of view.” 2 Corinthians 5:16.             Set your heart and mind on things above (heavenly realities), not on earthly things.     At salvation, we were completely healed, glorified, perfected, made one with Jesus, made as He is and we were raised into the heavenly realms in Christ Jesus! 

 We are to see no one, including ourselves, or any other person by the flesh, no matter how dark or ugly  it looks like.  We are to behold Jesus in all of His glory, and ourselves and others in His glory, apart from behavior.   We are to set our heart on these heavenly realities, not earthly realities!   The more we behold the Lord’s glory and see ourselves and others in Christ’s glory, the more we are being transformed into His likeness, with ever-increasing glory!   This takes training our senses to live by the Spirit and not by the flesh.

What about if ourselves or another, is stuck in a sin, is it OK to see and focus on the flesh?   We are to regard no one by the flesh, even if the person is acting out horribly in the flesh.   If a person is not born-again, we still are not to see them, anyone, by the flesh.  We see them as they would be in the Spirit if they have accepted the gift of salvation.   Jesus died for each and every person, so we see them apart from their sin, as if they had never sinned!

 We are to be Christ’s ambassadors on the earth.   Jesus did not come to the world to criticize, condemn or judge sin, He can to bear all sin and all punishment for all sin, once and for all!  Jesus is the Light of the world and He has put His Light inside of us, so we can release His light and Love into the world of darkness all around us!  We speak and release His Life and Love into every person and situation we face, Period, “end of story”!

  The only way we can see others in Jesus’ glory is to ourselves in His glory by the Holy Spirit, first.   This glory of Christ is meant to fill us up completely to overflowing!   In heaven, where we are seated and living In Christ, there is only perfect Love, Joy, Peace and supernatural power!   As the new creation, In Christ, we have His Spirit and His heart and we have the new spiritual body.  These are Truths in the spiritual, heavenly realm!  “As Jesus is, so are we, in this world.” 1 John 4:17.  

         We are to set our hearts on the heavenly realities, and see each other as we are in the Spirit!   What if someone very mean and treats us horribly?  We may not need to invite them into our house, but we are to see no one from an earthly or fleshly point of view!   If someone is abusing us, or the people close to us, we may have to deal with the behavior, but all the while, seeing them as they are in the Spirit, and releasing Life and Love into them!

  This is a very simple Truth, one in which we need to drink deeply of the Spirit to live by the Spirit and not by the flesh!   No matter where we may be in our walk and our behavior, we still see and speak the perfect Life, Love and glory of Jesus over us and others!   We have been called to release the Life and Love that is always pouring into us, into all the darkness, hurt and pain, in the world!   People will know that we are Christians then by how we treat others around us, especially during the difficult and challenging moments!

  We must receive this perfection, complete healing and wholeness, as Jesus is, first for ourselves in the depths of our heart!   No matter how weak, sick, poor, fearful….. We may be in the flesh, we still hold on to the Truth of who we are in The Spirit!   If we may be sick, friendless, without a dime in our pocket, we are to set our heart on the Truth of who we are in the Spirit!  The more we lock on to the Truth of who we are in the Spirit, the more we will manifest the Lord’s likeness, with ever-increasing glory!

 No person or circumstance can change the Truth and reality of the heavenly realm!   We just drink of the Truth and set our heart on the heavenly realities more and more until this Truth of the Father’s perfect Love, permeates, grips and overwhelms our heart!    Holy Spirit is leading us to see the heavenly realities with a “single-eye” and with all of our heart!   As we set our heart on the heavenly realities, we live our life on the earth, constantly being filled with the Love, Joy, Peace, and supernatural power of God, our Father, feasting from the abundance of the House of the Lord and drinking from the River of His Delights!!!!!    

  SHALOM!!!!!!!
