I read that Paul did most of his writings during times of despair and in hopeless, confined places. By this, He learned of hoping against hope and in being strongest in Christ when confidence in flesh is at it's weakest. The harshest, most troubling and overwhelming circumstances can never overpower that which has already been established in the truth by God. We were ourselves translated by God's association with us through Jesus, to a place where our beingness is eternally defined in Him. His death on behalf of the human race was pointed to by every mystery from the beginning of time; all signs where pointing to the coming of The Lamb of God, even the constellations foreshadowed the ministry of His Life. Yet, it's within our own hearts that the Light proclaimed in Christ ignites our own understanding, and like seeds awakened by rain and dew, we realize Him as including us and ourselves as living by, in, and through Him.
Just moments ago, while perusing a book recently downloaded called "Done!" by Francois Du Toit, the significance of the resurrection of Christ became plain to me. For months, if not years, I'd tended a sense of there being a greater significance to the resurrection of Jesus that what I'd then allowed to permeate my understanding. Being that our recovery from the hold of fallen-mindset and false-identity predicated on our understanding of this very moment in time, nothing less than genuine affection towards the end of better understanding that which has already been revealed to our hearts as true would be sufficient light by which this message could be read. Here, illuminated by the light of my own understanding, is my articulation of the significance of His resurrection:
Since His death was His absorption of every negative consequence and symptom of sin on my behalf, His resurrection is the announcement that the price of my sins had been atoned for by His blood and for as He lives, I also shall live. For as long as His life after my death persists, my life in his innocence persists. Remain united to this teaching, and the fruit of this teaching will remain united to you!
You are forgiven forever, every misdeed has been erased. Not only will you live for all eternity without a spot on your record and without a fault to your name (totally, completely, and utterly defined by Him and sustained only by His universe sustaining RESURRECTION LIFE, but no one presently engaging you from any different point of reference has any power over God's frame of mind! You are no longer subject to their ignorance or continued judgements or demands on your life! Amen! This is the best news ever!
This means that you can no longer be threatened with wrath, because in order for God to allow you to ever again experience the symptoms of blame and threats for some act or mis-deed committed by you He'd have to disagree with the sufficiency of Jesus' sacrifice on your behalf, which He can indeed NEVER DO! So we can no longer afford to be double minded in this. As much as we could sympathize with the needy and disgruntled.. those who lay claim to our abundance, armed with bible-verses conducive to their cause of extorting from you that which had already been given them in the name of Jesus.. we never again agree with their blatant ignorance of both our own deliverance and their own from a law of works or will-power manipulation by fear of death, loss, punishment, or any symptom of unrighteousness before God.
Walk freely, remain united to His value for you, the Spiritual Gift of your Innocence, and give no accuser any foothold in your life! No matter what lambskin that wolf's spirit attempts to woo you through, you aren't ignorant of it's devices. You've seen the soul separated from the flesh, and the spirit separated from the soul. All is made plain before you and you know all things. Do not foolishly disregard the gospel in favor of sentimental attachment to guilt-driven association with the lowly. Christ, who became the lowest of the low, now proclaims us all in the Highest Graces of The Most High! From the bottom to the top, and those who were counted lowest in this world count His treasure [in the completeness of the gift of His own I-Am-ness for us to live from] most highly! Enjoy The fullness of His name and your abandonment from the world's definition of your name. In Him, He Himself is the substance of your name. Jesus is in Felix and without Jesus, there would be no you or me! Our waking lives are sustained by His Resurrection-fueled Illuminated Dream! <3
