Three Lives Made One

Psalm 24:1

The earth is the Lord's, and the fullness thereof;
the world, and they that dwell therein.

This is a  followup to  my last post, Three Lives Revisited Again, and I don't plan on posting any of the others in that series as I first wrongly assumed I would.  The one I posted was intended to be used as a reminder that we all need to be transformed into what God originally created us to be-a fully functional whole child of God who walks in unity with our Father without schism, confusion, dysfunction or lack of any kind. In the previous blog the dysfunction was pretty much made plain, now I only wish to focus  on Jesus and emphasize restoration. Everything needed was provided in full when we received Him as our Savior,  but we must yield to the process of transformation in order to begin to live as mature Sons of the Living God.  Realizing the need for transformation was the whole purpose of  re-posting the original Three Lives blog.

Since He's the One who created man in the first place He's the only one capable of taking us  up to that high calling we've been restored to and the process it takes to manifest it. So I'm sharing something He said to me Thursday, November 26, 2019.  

[Please note the italicized  personal pronouns in the following word. Truthfully, I just recently received understanding why He chose to use them.  It's because I'm in part an intercessor who prays on my own behalf, my family's behalf, the body of Christ, and people in general.  The word's He speaks to me  generally result from those prayers.]

There are yet  places in the Heavenlies we haven't gone to before because there are places in our own hearts we haven't gone to before with Him. We must allow Him to plumb the depths of our own hearts so He can have full access, so we can be filled with  the fullness of God. And all this must come through an intimate knowledge of His love.  

         Ephesians 3:19   

And to know the love of Christ, which passeth knowledge, that ye might be filled with all the fullness of God. 

For only His Heart beating in ours as one will *suffice.

[* I questioned the use of the word suffice but He was adamant in the use of it, so I looked it up in Websters 1828]

      suffice:

• To be enough or sufficient to the end proposed.
• To satisfy; to content; to be equal to the wants or demands of.

End of Word to me.

Wow! One within ourselves and one with Him!  That's restoration! He was saying exactly what He meant to say! Using THE word which emphatically stated what He wanted to do could only be accomplished the way He said to do it! In other words He wants to transform us into what He created us to be in the beginning with each of us with our own unique gifts and personalities fully functioning without schism within or with our relationship with God our Father. It is only with an intimate knowledge of His great love for us and in partnership with Him can we rise to be all He created us to be, have all He wants us to have and do all He wants us to do.

And here's something He said to me Friday, December 20, 2019:

He's given us the divine nature with His indwelling Spirit-we should give Him room to develop it.  (see 2 Peter 1:4)

After choosing Him the first time as Savior and LORD,  let's keep choosing Him over and over again.  Let's  choose to agree with His written Word whether we understand it or not.  Let's choose to agree with His love for us whether we feel like its true or not. When His Word says we are the righteousness of God In Christ Jesus, let's choose to agree with what He says in order to experience knowing more and more we are righteous In Him.  When we read we are dead to sin and alive to Christ, let's agree with it whether our minds can grasp it or not and we will begin to KNOW we are!

 In John 6:63 Jesus said the words He speaks are spirit and they are life. Every time anyone chooses to believe His Words and receives them are at the same time receiving the transforming power that comes with them!  Since  those of us who have received Him are already one spirit with Him according to I Corinthians 6:17, let's choose to enter His rest concerning His word.  And look at John 17:23 in The Passion Translation.  O, how it melts my heart!

John 17:23 The Passion Translation (TPT)

    You live fully in me and now I live fully in them
    so that they will experience perfect unity
    and the world will be convinced that you have sent me,
    for they will see that you love each one of them
    with the same passionate love that you have for me.

Since Jesus already paid the price and we've already been restored to oneness with Him and the Father, if we choose to cooperate with Him He fully knows how to bring us into the manifestation of that reality.  If there's a roadblock anywhere within us He's the ONE to shine the Light of His Love  within in order to bring us into wholeness. Allowing Him to plumb the depths of our hearts will take us to new heights with Him and In Him. 

Since God's original plan is still His plan, and He's provided everything we need to receive it,  I believe I'll choose Him and His way, and with His help, choose it over and over again, and allow Him to do what He promised in  2 Corinthians 3:18

But we all, with open face beholding as in a glass the glory of the Lord, are changed into the same image from glory to glory, even as by the Spirit of the Lord. 

2 Corinthians 4:7 

But we  have this treasure in earthen vessels, 

that the excellency of the power may be of God and not of us.
