The way of being miserable
I see believers getting it all mixed up.
We are ascending without bending. We hear all this....well for the most part fluff and puffy junk we pass off as prophecy.....and essentially do not love.
Selling short the mystery of
Christ in you – muting the grace of God – living as though you have faith but
not being undone by it, is miserable.
A great light appeared.
Christ in you is the HOPE of glory.
Christ in you is the majestic glory of the mystery revealed.
Christ in you is beyond imagination.
The Grace poured into you and I, deposited by the Spirit for the majestic glory of his presence, is living and powerful.
Selling grace short is the path to misery of the soul.
The religious never feel the weight of this grace.
The burden of the impossible weighing on their souls, mind, and strength.
Religion is
perfectly suited to support us in little paths.
But these are not the paths of Christ Jesus.

flowers grow in the desert |
The disciple is well aware of the calling and the election of Christ. The
heart is informed with revelation of the LOVE of God. A Love for the people of
the world and a clear vision of the discontinuity of the state of the world and love.
To the
people in the world, the glorious simple Gospel and work of Jesus brings
something totally different and beautiful to it.
The religious "do" only within the realms of human understanding and the righteousness of men.
The deception is....
They know their bible well. But the simple paths of love elude them.
Loving like Jesus is too costly to them. The equation does not work.
They want to enact judgement on the world rather than love it like Christ Jesus.
They were the ones shrinking back from the wondrous loud voice of the Christ. His overwhelming power and love, caused them to run rather than surrender.
There is a testament to this prophesied by Jesus.
Jerusalem and the Temple were destroyed and the nation of Israel was toppled in the judgement of the Father. She proved unworthy in welcoming the Christ of the World. Her sacrifices and temple repudiated for a new and living way.
The new vision is a building, a Temple, built by God that includes every tribe, nation, language, in the highest, best, greatest, most liberating freedom known to the human race.
It is eternal life. This is eternal life. To know him...... Scripture.
My Experience knowing Jesus.
The disciple is so overwhelmed in the love and the reality of grace, of the boundless, abundant, and victorious Kingdom of Jesus, that their tears flow. They flow for both the shortcomings and weakness of themselves and of the hope they see for others. A deferred hope that we pray for, sacrifice for, lay down our lives for. A HOPE rooted and established in love in the very work of Jesus our Lord and King.
Jesus is waiting as well. He is continuing in the trust and faith as the great intercessor and high priest of the heavenly temple. Patient endurance is at the heart of the Masters love and hope fills him moment to moment as he calls forth the glory in the Saints around the globe.
It is an assured faith. Victory won on the Cross. Death defeated in the resurrection. Earth and Heaven knit together in the ascended High Priest of the Father's will.
UNDONE. That is the measure of one who sees Jesus.
Religion. Perfectly done. No needs.
Religion says of the broken, justly condemned - "they don't deserve help." They built their own bed. They deserve much worse than they are getting. They smugly agree in their heart with Satan. Calling forth destruction rather than redemption. The simple Gospel in all it's power and love speaks a better word.
Religion stands and reflects on their now righteousness. What they have attained.
Such short shortsightedness.
And oh how dark the heart of religion is.
Unbending. Unteachable. Full of Judgement.
It resorts to violence to keep it's hold.
Just ask, "what can I pray for you?" and get the "I have need of nothing" response. Leodecian spirituality. Lukewarm or dead for that matter? Sardis. You have a reputation of being alive but you are dead. (Revelation 3)
At the core, religion worships the idol of the self.
In our efforts to grow the church we've taught a whole generation to place their idol, themselves, front and center of all the meaning of worship, church and Kingdom.
Like a black whole in space, there is a never ending consumption of more and more and more. This is the exact opposite flow of the Kingdom of God and the power and love of Jesus.
The real problem today is that people like this can be in the church and be doing everything required. They can look perfect in our little and limited requirements of religion.
The requirements of Jesus.....

Flowers of grace grow in the worst soil |
Hand to the plow...Luke 9:62
Die to live.....Matthew 10:39
Pick up the Cross....Luke 9:23
We must pass through the Cross to start living in the Resurrection....
Don't look back....Matthew 10:38
Count the Cost......Luke 14:28
I see believers getting it all mixed up.

The un-crucified flesh loves religion. Thrives in it. Hides in it.
Her "prophets" are un-correctable and wallowing in "secret knowledge".
Good NEWS - the kingdom is seen by Little Children. There is no Jr. Holy Spirit. There are no secrets.
What you hear in the quiet place proclaim from the roof tops.
His is a transparent Kingdom and Throne.
This the nature of love. It is attained with no human energy or effort. It is welcomed.
It is by faith. It is in fully enveloped in grace.
It is beyond knowledge.
It is revealed to the hungry, welcoming heart who surrenders to the mystery of the Son of God. To the one who believes in the power of the Cross and blood. Who decides in faith to walk in resurrection power and the mind of Christ in this fallen, broken, distorted world.
God is pouring out the greatest generosity known to humanity.....the blood of his Son.
Over and over and over. Even to those religious. He will go were welcomed. He will heal in the presence of religion and hate and un-crucified flesh.
Because he has overcome the world.
He is seated at the Father's right hand. It is finished.
The seven times seven lamps of Jubilee are before him as a witness in heaven. WE will see the DAY. It is coming upon the earth daily.
Hang on Saint. Pray without ceasing. LOVE with the generosity of Christ Jesus. Freely give as you have been freely given.
"Behold, I am coming quickly"
