But they still did not understand

Jesus's focus was not to teach the people of His time to rebel against Rome. Because He understood that Rome was only a thought pattern designed by the world; an idea to see oneself as a god. But it was the wrong lens. This is why Jesus appeared in the flesh, to be the lens through which mankind would look to see themselves through the eyes of God. He would become the way to this Inner realization, He would become this truth revealed when man would see Him outwardly first (because the outwardly was the only language these people understood); and it was He would become   the life of God hidden within man before the ages. This is the mystery of God! That is why He said "Matthew 11:28 
"Come to me, all you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest." 
Why rest? Because He knew that whatever they were looking for (even when their intentions were to seek God's) became a burden and this made them weary because they ended up with nothing. So, when He appeared to them in the flesh, it was not because He boasted that He was God's Son, but because He needed to become this "Word of God" unto man that related with their way of thinking, interpretation and only when they'd see Him, they might see the Father. But they still did not understand, that's why His death would mean the death of their search for God outside of themselves and they would finally look within and find Him. They would finally look within and see this fully present Divine nature already within them; the Kingdom of God.

Message to the Body of Christ

My message to the Body of Christ:  If you approach someone living recklessly from a Christ-like perspective, you do not start with what they are doing wrong. Just hear me out. I know we've been taught, or many of us have been taught to address the elephant in the room head-on. But what did it accomplish? Did communities change? Did those young men or women come to Christ? Perhaps a few, but with what kind of mindset? We wouldn't know. All we know is that they chose Christ right? But is it authentic, real, or genuine? Or is it fear-based. Did they choose Christ feeling condemned, feeling utterly miserable and unworthy? To some extent I won't refute someone coming to Christ feeling unworthy, or feeling ashamed. But, if the way we presented Christ to that person leads them to choose Christ out of shame, or feeling condemned because of what we said to them — then it's not the whole truth. Why do I say so? Because...you start with who they already are — even if t...

The Promise of Salvation is a Person

Image
The promise of Salvation is not a long life, but a fruitful one. The promise of Salvation is a life that satisfies, which is without beginning or end. That is the promise — not that we have done something to earn it or deserve it. But that we have been given a life that is recognised by God, that is pleasing to God. We have been given a relationship that has been there before the ages — it neither began with man or ends with man. What was promised in Psalm 91, was not a longer lifespan time here on earth, but eternity (a promise of knowing Him) which is the resurrection and the life. It was never something futuristic; it has always been a matter of NOW. The moment man receives salvation is the moment he receives what God has always known, what God has always seen, and what God is most pleased with for all eternity. There is nothing to receive again. Only to behold Christ and acknowledge every good thing we see in Him as our present reality.  Father did not give Himself ...
