God is Love and found in Him are the riches of your TRUE identity

Are we living in a shrinking world where the majority of things being maintained have also proved to be the descendants of the obsessive desire to be observed as though something more?

Are we living in a world that is slowly losing it's "Mind"? A mind that has been established and set on the things of this dying world?

Sounds like gloom and doom some might say, yet what is the truth concerning all that is to "Come" as part of the future? Would it be safe t conclude that "What you can't see depends on what you believe to be true"?

I don't ask this as if to resurrect the tired and all but silent battle of opinions that wages between wealthy Christians and those who believe Christians should also be poor if they want to be thought of as Godly.

I'm of the opinion this "Religious" state of mind should find both sides guilty of one and the same thing. Guilty to mean both are acting "Out" of a competitive spirit and at the root of that spirit is "Pride"

It's really easy to see, yet only if and when it's remembered that God is "One" and the following wisdom is God inspired.

Prov 13:10-11

Only by pride cometh contention: but with the well advised is wisdom.

Wealth gotten by vanity shall be diminished: but he that gathereth by labour shall increase.
KJV

A mindset that has become such that is more conscious of itself (identity) rather than God as One as our mutual "Christ".

A world where man looks across the expanse of all that's been created and then as if above the Lord who created the entirety of what He intended for His pleasure? Only then to circle back and conclude there must be something more to this whole event that's being called "Life".

Shrinking to mean a smaller state of awareness that's continually being divided and then robbed by way of demands presented which then require an even greater amount of our time, thoughts and devotion as to the absolute terms of what does make us blameless and holy "In His sight".

Eph 1:3-10
For he chose us in him before the creation of the world to be holy and blameless in his sight.

In love he predestined us to be adopted as his sons through Jesus Christ, in accordance with his pleasure and will— to the praise of his glorious grace, which he has freely given us in the One he loves.

In him we have redemption through his blood, the forgiveness of sins, in accordance with the riches of God's grace that he lavished on us with all wisdom and understanding.

And he made known to us the mystery of his will according to his good pleasure, which he purposed in Christ, to be put into effect when the times will have reached their fulfillment — to bring all things in heaven and on earth together under one head, even Christ.
NIV

Have you ever found yourself wondering who's at work behind the scene building this rail system the desires of humanity seems to be on? As well who's driving the seeming run away train that's nearly out paced the rate the tracks are put in place?

Do we as inhabitant's living in our own little worlds within this world find it easier to blame our faults on something we claim is invisible?

Do we perpetuate the thoughts and cause that employ's the notion as if the importance of maintaining the lie of "invisibility" because we've enjoyed (duplicity) denying the truth?

The truth concerning the indulgent lie to self which says that "Others" are NOT able to "See" the soulish inhabitant that resides in the flesh?

As such we've each tried to label as though unique and that because of all that we assume can be seen as the result of everything that's been associated and glorified as if the flesh suit we wear is somehow blessed and responsible for such a great victory?

u·nique: Being the only one of its kind; unlike anything else.

We'll sing to God be the Glory yet where are the results of what God has done? Who's judging what God has done as we STILL find our NEW being (creation) in this flesh as though a new suit the soul has put on as one that Only Christ has given as well the abilities accredited to the flesh?

The following is the grand finale yet it should then be nothing more than complete validation of what the world had to wait to see in it's fullness because it was blind to the otherwise known truth within us that held fast to the claim as though, "Christ In Us" (as the body of Christ).

When will the bride make herself ready? When will she allow herself to washed in the words of Christ so she can put on the fine bright and Clean linen given to her to wear?

Rev 19:6-8

"Hallelujah!
For our Lord God Almighty reigns. Let us rejoice and be glad and give him glory!
For the wedding of the Lamb has come, and his bride has made herself ready .
Fine linen, bright and clean, was given her to wear."
NIV

1 Cor 15:53-54
For the perishable must clothe itself with the imperishable , and the mortal with immortality.

When the perishable has been clothed with the imperishable , and the mortal with immortality, then the saying that is written will come true: "Death has been swallowed up in victory."
NIV

Because it's not been thoroughly taught as though important and even more "Received" as though true, men discount the consideration of not only what others may or may NOT see, but also who the "Others" includes.

Is what the "They" that are watching still "See" the familiar and varied expression(s) of a selfish soul that's been studied for centuries or the increasingly victorious revelation of a greater work that's being done day to day?

Such as the (Outward resurrection) outward yearning of their newly born again spirit which God not only gives but even more was given as the result of such a great sacrifice in order to make available for the world to see through us as the "Church"? (Ekklesia = The called out)

The more common opinion of man being of the selfish nature which also sired his fallen status, it's always about "Self".

Once again the audience the new creation is supposed to be also displaying our NEW creation to is NOT just our fellow man. What God has done within us is to be placed on display for a much larger and eternal audience.

Don't bite on the bait any longer in thinking our great salvation ONLy has to do with the "Us or the You".

The Son's of God were intended to display to all that are watching Gods true Glory which is all that He has done within us as His heirs and that of His righteousness.

Why? Because He has already spoken that which has already come to pass in the eternal realm. That which is eternal and everlasting is the reward. That which does not survive the condemnation of that which does NOT last.

 Eph 3:10-11
His intent was that now, through the church, the manifold wisdom of God should be made known --------> to the rulers and authorities ----> in the heavenly realms, according to his eternal purpose which he accomplished in Christ Jesus our Lord.
NIV

What should the world see as well the one who is said to rule it (fallen world)? 

The power of our testimony as to the great thing God has done and that within us as the work of Christ?

What God has done is so masterfully full of wisdom right beneath the nose of his otherwise blinded enemy and that by his own pride concerning all that He assumes He has accomplished otherwise contrary to the heart and hand of God.

Many say out loud as if not realizing the absolutes of what they're suggesting, "I just want to be me the way that I am" as well "God loves me the way that I am"! If that is true just how much of the old you is going to survive the transformation process leading into the New Creation which then enjoys the presence of God for eternity?

Is this true that God loves every ounce of your being to include the lack of faith? Or the part of you that depends upon the provision of the world OR does God love who He intended you to become in through the work of Christ?

When you suggest that God see's you, does He see YOU as righteous because of the Blood stained covering you now wear having put on "Christ" as Lord and Savior" OR does he see you as outside of Christ while claiming Christ as Lord for the way you try to see or cause yourself to be seen by way of your own reasoning?

Wouldn't the latter consideration then suggest that God is "Unjust" in His verdict handed down concerning those to be "Found" guilty of having denied the truth?

Just food for thought for those that have been saved from the high dive board of life.

Assuming the trial has already taken place because we already have the verdict, which will it be?

Will it be the guilty that defines the innocent or the picture of innocence which then defines those that are guilty?

If we have the verdict why doesn't that then suggest all that remains is the determination as to who and what was on trial?

Meaning the list handed down which does not contain the names of the guilty, but those that have been found innocent whose names have since been recorded in the book of life and those as the heirs of God.

Those that have proved the verdict of guilt to be righteous not only having fallen short of God's glory but even more their continued refusal to be reconciled unto to God as a son and heir of righteousness and that by faith in the grace of God only because He is also the God of "Mercy" (love).

I know, I know you've already heard it, read about it and bathed in it, BUT have you believed it with all that you are?

In terms of all that I am I personally haven't to date. The same is the result of many things, yet I can only claim what I have been given to be true beyond the consideration of those same things.

I know this to be true because there is not a day that has passed that I have not been compelled to repent of certain thoughts which I now know can lead to even worse outward signs of inner activities that still lurk within me from time to time.

Thoughts which lead to actions, actions when revisited which then cause a sense of separation from God, separation that leads further into to the thought of guilt, guilt that gives our mutual enemy a foot hold within the conscience and then a seared conscience which undermines our confidence in ALL that Jesus accomplished on the cross.

Most of which I personally have either planted or allowed to be planted in my mind over the years.

Only since the day that I embraced the truth concerning not only the verdict, but also the awareness of the wisdom of God presented as Christ did I then realize what I had been observing the most.

I've since discovered that it was I that either chased the desires which oppose the heart of God or they've pursued and caught me because I "Gave" such things "More" than a mere glance as though worthy of my attention I then paid to such things.

John 3:19-21
This is the verdict: Light has come into the world, but men loved darkness instead of light because their deeds were evil.

Everyone who does evil hates the light, and will not come into the light for fear that his deeds will be exposed.

But whoever lives by the truth comes into the light, so that it may be seen plainly that what he has done has been done through God."  
NIV

If all men that are considered guilty at some point in the sight of God were to individually acknowledge their guilt, what might the specific commonality of this guilt look like? 

The A-Z list of things most opinions consider to be as THE things we DO as though sinning or will it be the (singular) Sin held in common of "Unbelief"? 

Unbelief in what though?

Unbelief in the truth as it is intended to manifest because it was not only a promise made, but a promise made by God that the person of Christ we claim also dwells richly within us has reached the place of dominance?

(In a world where words still have meaning, the term Lord when properly translated in any language also suggest the personage who dominates and or has maintained Dominion). 

The presence of His person whom our body and soul (person) has since allowed to prosper to the place of significant influence that would NOT then lead our physical form (presence) into these particular "Acts" which gave cause to evil in order to be visible as if glorified?

Now as if an Identifiable existence as something God has full intentions of getting rid of when He does release His wrath?

God frames perfection with His words, yet all that resides outside this frame is not part of the picture. God forewarns mankind about the results of the life that's spent the spiritual economic value of itself purchasing such desires.

His words come from infinite wisdom and insight. Wisdom that has not only peered into the hearts and minds of all mankind, but also the individual desires men have within them which then causes men to chase after these same (common) desires.

We also have an enemy that has had years and or centuries to study all that we do and say. How long will a man deny the common things which plague his self efforts?

I encourage you not to try and hide behind context when you read this next passage as though somehow a certain "Type" of believer that is exempt from one and the same consideration as to what God says is evil.

Pay attention to how "THEY" are described if you can't bare to peer into what they also do when viewed in full context.

Rom 1:32
Although they know God's righteous decree that those who do such things deserve death, they not only continue to do these very things but also approve of those who practice them. 
NIV

Do you still want no part of being persecuted for BEING a Christian?

If your heart is ready, read what causes "Those" which supposedly do not judge evil as though evil in the sight of God as well what the righteous pursue unto eternal life.

Rom 2:7
To those who by persistence in doing good seek glory, honor and immortality, he will give eternal life.
NIV

Rom 8:5-8

Those who live according to the sinful nature have their minds set on what that nature desires ; but those who live in accordance with the Spirit have their minds set on what the Spirit desires .

The mind of sinful man is death, but the mind controlled by the Spirit is life and peace; the sinful mind is hostile to God. 

It does not submit to God's law, nor can it do so. Those controlled by the sinful nature cannot please God.
NIV

God allows believers in Christ to judge themselves so they will NOT be judged, yet this self judgement can not also be void of the truth as though a license to continue or wink at evil behavior despite the fact we've all at some point participated in the sinful DOING. 

It's getting easier to demonize just about anything in this world yet only when the truth is applied, but if we were to examine where demons originated what might we find?

Do we forget that the demonic realm we try to understand as though invisible was once a part of what was once considered to be good? What man fails to understand is what translates evil as though the invisible to the realm of "Visibility".

That is to suggest that today IF where we (man) now find ourselves also as "Fallen" beings AND when we truthfully consider that 1/3 of the entire angelic host that did 'Fall" also "FELL"  from a prior status or standing, what might we conclude?

That one third of the angelic simply 'Flopped" and fell beyond recovery? What would that suggest concerning a God that is Love if we choose to believe such a stand "alone" notion?

Was it that they simply woke up one day and fell so far away from the hand of God? The same God that can and is willing to forgive and heal? So far away to where He could not somehow also reach and in turn heal them?

Or is it that the said distance became greater because they continued to reject His hand of reconciliation while continuing in their persistent rebellion?

Continue to mean up to the point where God declared "Enough" and shut the door as though their particular (epoch) opportunity to be reconciled had ended?

It is important that we as believers who also see ourselves in the continual need of a savior (Christ) also understand this or else we can never gain an understanding into what the Apostle Paul spoke of concerning the beloved of God whom will also be judging angels.

That is to suggest not only judgment that's found in the equilibrium of a God's that is Love, but also a God that is Love that extends towards us as more than a mere one time chance.

As this thought progresses I hope to attempt pry open and to look deeper into not only "Why" humans are deceived, but how they reach the point as a being that are all but in need of continually being supposedly deceived in order to justify their future decisions made in order to somehow observe themselves as though "Righteous".

Deceived to the point which then nearly demands the response(s) which then draws some even further away as the voice of deception is followed.

A question that should provide rays of hope might be, "Why would an angel of darkness today find themselves having to parade around (move among us) as though an angel of "Light"?

Is it that God can NOT see these host(s) of darkness when they do come calling or that man is not able to SEE them when they cloak themselves in false light?

I pray you've found this edifying within your God infused spiritual man and that you'll join me in the pursuit of not only what qualifies our righteous consideration having believed, but also as we learn to expect even more from a God that is willing to pour out on those who are willing to please Him in all He that he leads us to do.
