"BLESSED AND HOLY IS HE THAT HATH "PART" IN THE FIRST RESURRECTION"
Rev. 20:6
As the body of Christ we are experiencing our PART in the Resurrection now, this very day. Every time we are quickened- made alive, in the life of Christ within we are being raised in Him. God gave Christ to be the Head of the Body to live His life in and through us. Eph. 1:23. As our Head, He is in our mind, leading and directing our thoughts and words, spoken in His Faith through our lips of clay. "What saith it?" We do not need to bring Christ down out of heaven, neither do we dig Him up out of hell; but the word (annointed Christ), is nigh thee even in thy mouth, the Word of Faith that you speak. Rom. 10:6-8. We are His visible expression in the earth.
IN partaking of His Resurrection, we are also partaking of the Second Death, at the same time-simultaneously: dying and rising daily. Life swallows up death. Mortal puts on immortal. This is done from within - not from without. Jesus brought life and immortality to Light iin our understanding. 2 Tim. 1:10.
God is giving me a new understanding of immortality. Mortal means the VISIBLE dying body. Immortal means the Invisible, Un-dying Body. This is the invisible, incorruptible Seed of Christ by which we are BEING BORN AGAIN, by the Word of God. 1 Pet. 1:22-23. Incorruptible is the same word as immortality in the Greek language. See Strong's Exhaustive Concordance #861 and #110.
Jesus Christ already has immortality. In fact, "He is the only one who has immortality, dwelling in a LIGHT that no one has seen nor can see." 1 Tim. 6:16. He is invisible to the human eye. "He is the King Eternal, Invisible, Immortal, the only wise God;" (1 Tim. 1:17) in that He is both fully God and fully man. The Head of the New Creation Man. Jesus is the first finished man. He was received up into Glory, made both Lord and Christ. Now He is planting His incorruptible Seed of Life in every man. "the true light that lighteth every man that cometh into the world," by His resurrected Life. The power of His Resurrection will continue to work in humanity until all shall know Him from the least to the greatest. They shall not say: "Know the Lord!", for all shall KNOW HIM and to know HIM IS LIFE ETERNAL.
OUR HOUSE IN OUR HEAVENS ( Spiritual Mind)
his Seed now impregnated in us "IS OUR HOUSE, ETERNAL IN THE HEAVENS" -Spirit-Mind Realm. 2 Cor. 5:1 and 2 Cor. 4:7. This Seed is the mind of Christ. "Christ in you our hope of glory." This Christ-Mind in our SPIRIT-SOUL-MIND is being continually clothed anew as we are changed from glory to glory into His very same image. 2 Cor. 3:18. "BE YE TRANSFORMED BY THE RENEWING OF YOUR MIND." Rom. 12:2. "BE RENEWED IN THE SPIRIT OF YOUR MIND." ePH. 4:22. "LET THIS MIND BE IN YOU WHICH WAS ALSO IN CHRIST JESUS." Phil. 2:5.
Let the Christ-Mind work in and through you. Let Him think His thoughts through your thoughts; becoming One Thought, spoken through your lips - The Word of Life, not death. The power of death is in the tongue. Therefore align your mind with the mind of God. When we realize we are pregnant in the natural realm, we immediately accept it and begin to work in harmony with it; even so when we awake to the Christ-Mind, impregnated within OUR MIND as an incorruptible Seed. We must accept it, yield our mind to His Mind. Our will and emotions are in our mind. We surrender them to His working in us. This INNER surrendering completely unto Him is harder than all the outward works we ever did for Jesus. It means dying to the old selfish-mind and putting on our Self-less mind of Christ. "Not I but Christ!" These are the good works, which God hath before ordained that we should walk in them. Compare Gal. 2:20 with Eph. 2:10.
WE ARE BEING TRANSFORMED DAILY
Our Inner Man is continually changing clothes so "we shall not be found naked." If our earthly house, covering our Inner Tabernace, is dissolved, we still have a building of God, a house eternal in the heavens. 2 Cor. 5:1. This house is the Incorruptible Seed of Christ - it cannot be dissolved or go back to dust. THE EARTHEN VESSEL that contains the TREASURE always remains. "It is the excellency of the power of God." 2 Cor. 4:6,7. "All the treasures of wisdom and knowledge are hid in the "Christ"-mind." Col 2:3.
Like the young boy, Samuel, we ned a new inner coat each year to cover our developing and awakening Christ-mind or consciousness. His mother made him a new couat as he grew in wisdom and stature. Stature does not mean only bodily height, but it also means a quality or status gaianed by growth, development or achievement. As his mother saw only his gowth in height, Eli, the High Priest, saw his spiritual gowth in wisdom and stature, accepting The Word of God coming out of his mouth.
Our Mother, The Comforter, is knitting us a new garment to cover and fit our ever increasing and changing Inner Man, in (spirit-soul-mind realm) as our outer man is also changing and decreasing in appearance, shrinking in size - becoming more feeble in mind and body. The natural man in all his achievement and worldy gain sooon fades away in the annals of time, and his place "under the sun" is remembered no more. But the GARMENT covering the Spiritual man is RE-newed daily, till it springs up like an artesian well, over-flowing and covering the outer man completely. Integrating and absorbing each other, forming One New Man. The New Creation Man - The Very Image of God, a corporate expression of God's love reaching out to all creation. This corporate expresion of God, are the Sons of God's love. They love not only the church, Head and Body, but they love all creation with the pure love of God. Only when we truly love ourself can we truly love all men as God does. All creation is crying out for this true love. Heaven and Earth and under the Earth is waiting for the manifestation of the Sons of God.
THE MAN-I-FESTATION OR UNVEILING
Romans 8:19-23
In this scripture we read that the whole creation is waiting in EXPECTATION for the Manifestation of the Sons of God. The Literal Concordant Translation renders this word, 'expectation' as PREMONITION: which means an anticipation of an event without conscious reason. It's like a woman who begins to clean her house and prepare an extra large dinner, she does not really know why, until unexpected company arrives just at dinner time! All creation has this "sense" in the depth of his being. He may not know why, but all men have a hope or expectation for something better to happen. This is a God-given urge to improve himself and his surroundings. Only he is looking in the wrong place. He cannot be satisfied with outward things. Only God, already in us can fill that need.
