Topic: The Charge/ Original Intent Part 4 | |
---|---|
Every child of God in pursuit of true sonship must reach the place
where they bodly declare: "I was created by God, out of God and for God, to be God's reflection in the earth. I am the creation of God filled with the very life of God. Our God is and always has been about the business of Original Intent." The first prophesy of God after creation and the fall of man had to do with the restoration of man. God wanted His man and His creation back (1 John 2:2). All scripture points to the Body of Christ, the Church, being about the business of Original Intent. We are to be His expression. * Jesus was the only begotten Son of God. * He was the Word of God incarnate. * We are the redeemed/ransomed Sons of God. * He was, by design, a Son- We are, by restoration, a Son of God. "among them that are born of woman there has not risen a greater than John the Baptist (the immerser). Not withstanding he that is least in the Kingdom of God is greater than he." Matthew 11:11 From the fall of man to restoration of man, there was none greater until the Body of Christ was set in play. * Before John, Prophets could only announce He was coming. * John proclaimed, "He is here!" * We, His body, now decree we are of Him for whom they waited. * Prophets pointed to the door, John knocked on the door. * Jesus opened the door. * We, His body, are empowered to walk through that door. John declared, "Here is the Christ!" We who are of the redeemed can bodly decree that He lives in me. He is here in my body, finding expression and demonstration through my yielded vessel. For me to live is Christ manifesting His redeemption through me to all the world. We are a part of the creative force and flow of God. He has made us to be an extension of His will, plan and purpose. We are to be His hands and feet in the universe He has created for us to rule over. A look at the first chapter of Ephesians will give special insight into that which was a part of the sacred secrets (mysteries), which God opened to Paul. We are a part of and extension of those revelations. "And how tremendous is the power available to us who believe in accordance with that same divine energy which was demonstrated in Christ when He raised Himfrom the dead and gave Him the place of highest honor in Heaven- a place that is infinitely superior to any command, authority, power or control, even over every name that could be used (named, called) in this world or the world to come. God put all things under Christ's feet, and gave Him to the Church to be the Supreme Head over all things in the Church. The Church is Christ's body, the completion of Him who completes (finishes) all things every where." Ephesians 1:19-23 Adam was concealed, hidden in the glory of God the Creator. Adam was one with the purpose of the Father until he committed treason. He failed to rule and in so doing became ruled. He was made for a higher purpose. The work of God accomplished through our Lord Jesus in His death and in His resurrection has purchased for us who believe a place before God that is of even greater value than the place from which Adam fell. We are one with God, seated with Him in the Heaven- lies in the person of His first Son Jesus. In the fall Adam was unclothed. In Christ Jesus we are clothed again with the word, with His glory, with His anointing, and with Him. Now through knowledge of what He has done for us we are to "put on Christ" or literally to be re-concealed in the anointing. We are to be "hidden together with God in Christ Jesus". As Ephesians states, "we are His body". We are one with Him. We sit with Him in the new creation- new species of being- we have become. But, without pressing into the knowledge of God and what He has deposited in us, we will live far below our calling and election. He has given us a name to use and to identify with that is above every name in creation. Every other thing in creation is subject to the name we have been given authority to walk in. At the name of "Redeemer" everything must bow in submission. There is no greater or more powerful name than "Redeemer of God"; we are bought back, paid for, purchased, and fully His. "Let the redeemed of the Lord say so, whom he hath redeemed from the hand of the enemy; Psalm 107:2 The first prophesy after the fall of man is for the Church, the redeemed of the Lord who would one day be raised up to rule and reign with Him in glorious fulfillment of the Original Intent of God. We, the redeemed of the Lord, are to be about the process of redeem- ing creation and restoring God's rule. A look back at this first prophecy will give more insight into the plan of God for His redeemed man: "And I will put enmity between you (Lucifer) and the woman, and between your seed and her seed; He shall bruise (crush) you on the head, and you shall bruise Him on the heel." Genesis 3:15 "And I will set a feud between you and the woman, between your brood and hers;" Genesis 3:15 (Moffatt) "your posterity and hers;" Genesis 3:15 (Goodspeed) "I will make you enemies of each other: you and the woman, your offspring and her offspring;" Genesi 3:15 (Jerusalem) "it shall bruise thy head, and thou shalt bruise his heel" Genesis 3:5 (KJV) "they shall bruise your head, and you will bruise their heel" Genesis 3:15 (Jewish Publication Society) Septuagint- Wound Helen Spurrell & ASV- Crush The Torch- Strike Goodspeed- Attack George M. Lamsa- Her posterity shall tread your head under foot. We, the resurrected Body of Christ, were given a job description in this prophecy. The Lord Jesus is the Head. At the other extremity of the body are the feet. The offspring of Satan, the govenment he raises up, the world system at its most powerful point can do no more that inflict a bruise on the lowest part of the lowest extremity of the body. The Body of Christ, however, at the lowest part of the lowest extreme, the part of the body farthest from the head will still deal a deadly blow, crushing the headship of the world system. Literally, render powerless the governments of Satan. The least in the Kingdom of God is greater than the highest in the devil's realm. "Through God we shall do valiantly: for He shall tread down (crush) our enemies." Psalm 60:12 "Through You Lord, we will push down (crush) our enemies, through Your name we will tread them under foot that rise up against us." Psalm 44:5 & 108:13 "We shall tread upon the lion and the adder." Psalm 91:13 The blood of Jesus flowing out of the wounds on His feet bought back for the Body of Christ the power, authority, and ability to tread down our enemies, to possess wherever our foot shall tread, to kick in the gates of our enemy and to spoil, and to take back all that was stolen from us or lost in the fall of man. "I will send him against an irreligious- faithless- Godless nation, I will command him to attack a people who have angered me, to seize plunder, carry off loot and to trample them down like mud in the streets." Isaiah 10:6 The governing authority of the Head has empowered the Body to trample down the governments of the earth. To spoil them, plunder them, take back what was lost and to establish the Kingdom system of God in the earth, to fulfill the Original Intent of God for man. Original Intent is back in play. We must be about the family business and bring glory to the family name by redeeming all that was lost. Jesus said, "I am the Way, the Truth, and the Life." * The way back from the fallen state. * The truth as to how God and man are to function in and over creation. * The life flow of God first breathed into Adam and now breated by the Holy Spirit to all who will. The light of revelation dispels the darkness and restrictions of deception so that man can once again rise to Original Intent, to rule and reign with Christ Jesus. |
