Good Morning Precious One!
“For He has rescued us from the dominion of darkness and
brought us into the kingdom of the Son He Loves, in whom we have redemption,
the forgiveness of sins.” Colossians 1:13-14.
We have been brought into the kingdom of heaven where we
have already been perfected, glorified, made one with Jesus and made “as He
is”! The kingdom of heaven, which we now
live in, by the Spirit, is the realm of abounding and infinite Grace, Love,
Joy, Peace, Health, Prosperity… of the Father!
In this Spiritual kingdom, which is just as real as this earthly realm,
only unseen to the natural eye, we exist and live there now inside of Jesus and
one with Him!
This kingdom of heaven, this Spiritual kingdom, is accessed
by Faith from the heart, in the Holy Ghost!
Faith is not a mere intellectual decision to follow Jesus. Faith is in the heart. This is why things seem so untouchable or
unattainable at times. Ever prayed for
something and it didn’t happen? Of
course you have, we all have. Our hearts
are extremely big, and mostly hidden!
“As the heavens are high and the earth is deep, so the hearts of kings
are unsearchable.” Proverbs 25:3.
Our hearts are
like ice bergs, most of it is unseen.
Every experience and emotion and attitude we have ever had is recorded
in our hearts and determines how we react to life. Our earliest experiences in life played a
very large part in shaping and determining the essence of our heart. The mental health experts say that the core
attitudes of our heart are shaped in our first five to seven years. These deep, unseen attitudes are in a very
deep place that the Proverb calls unsearchable, that is how deep and big our
hearts are!
The good news is
that at salvation, Jesus took out our old heart that was severely wounded and
gave us a new heart, His heart, just like He gave us His Spirit! But just because we have been given this new
heart of Jesus, does not mean we are always living from His heart of perfect
Love, perfect Peace, perfect Joy, perfect health, prefect prosperity…… Is your life or my life the absolute, true
and complete picture of heaven? Of
course not, no human being is! We are a
mixture of heaven and earth, though our Spirit has been perfected and glorified
in Christ Jesus!
Some think that
because they have an intellectual grasp of these Truths that our walk on earth
has been perfected. NO!!!!!!!!!!!! We are perfected in the Spirit, but we are
a mixture of Spirit and flesh on the earth. We are “in process” in our walking
out of the Truth of our perfection in Christ by Faith. “We are BEING TRANSFORMED into His
likeness with EVER-INCREASING glory.” 2
Corinthians 3:18.
Some people
are blinded to the fact that we have been perfected in total and complete
actuality in the Spirit, that we are presently seated and living in Christ in
heaven today, and some are blinded to the fact that we are in a process of
manifesting the fullness of Christ on the earth. Jesus lives 100% out of His perfect heart
and we are all in the process of learning to appropriate and manifest the
fullness of His heart within us!
How can we be
perfected in Christ in total Truth and still be in the process of
transformation at the same time? Because
we live in two realms, two kingdoms, at the same time. Before salvation, our hearts and spirits
were in the kingdom of darkness, but now, even while living on the earth, we
have brought into the kingdom of Jesus, the kingdom of heaven! So while our hearts and spirits have been
perfected, we are in the process of learning how to walk out the new Truth of
who we are as new creations in Christ Jesus, while on the earth, in a realm
filled much darkness!
The earth is not the
perfection of heaven, but heaven is definitely present here! The more we embrace the Truth of us being
presently glorified In Christ, the His Glory covers and impacts the earth! The more we embrace the Truth of who we have
become in the Spirit, as Jesus is, the more we manifest His perfection on the
earth! “YOUR WILL BE DONE ON EARTH AS IT IS IN
HEAVEN.”
