Ongoing Transition, Overturning and Ruin

Did you know that we are in center of a massive transition?

It is a continuous transition, it is massive in scope and is far beyond any one person’s lifetime.

We are transitioning from a human centered world where Jesus Christ is a confusing side issue.  A religious footnote of history into a world where Jesus Christ is the absolute center and supreme of the universe. That is a massive transition but as sure as the nose on my face, it is happening.

Everything not of Jesus Christ is being dramatically shaken and ruined until Jesus Christ is Supreme. First in line for this is His people His church, in fact this over-turning and shaking results from God building the real church, his church right in the midst of, out from under and away from our human-focused organizations and systems of government and religious traditions.

We have said for generations only what is of God will remain, well we are experiencing that process… and this process often hurts, it may be very confusing and painful. In fact humanity has been experiencing it for  of years.

Ezekiel 21:26 thus says the Lord God, ‘Remove the turban and take off the crown; this will no longer be the same. Exalt that which is low and abase that which is high. 27 A ruin, a ruin, a ruin, I will make it. This also will be no more until He comes whose right it is, and I will give it to Him.’

Ephesians 1:9 He made known to us the mystery of His will, according to His kind intention which He purposed in Him 10 with a view to an administration suitable to the fullness of the times, that is, the summing up of all things in Christ, things in the heavens and things on the earth.

Don’t let it surprise or scare you as it increasingly happens and do not resist the shaking, let go of the nonsense when he rips it from you.

Please share this if it blessed you!

Jesus Christ IS Salvation

Do you realize that Jesus said that the Old Testament was about him? Think about that for a moment. It is found in Luke 24:27, 32?  He taught this to his disciples after his resurrection giving the early church the key which unlocks all of scripture. Jesus Christ himself is the key to interpreting the Old Testament, he brings unity to all of scripture and I believe was the secret to the effectiveness of the early church we read about in Acts and the epistles.

If Jesus is really the key to interpreting all of scripture and I believe that he is, then it is theologically accurate and appropriate to insert the name of Jesus Chirst into many Old Testament passages. I’ve done this in the past with other popular verses  like with Joshua 1:8 and it brings scripture to life like nothing I’ve seen. So I want to do it again with this post.

While making my final edits to my book From His Side, I am working on the chapter in which Salvation comes out of the Lord as a woman and speaks directly to a group of Christians. While searching the scriptures about places regarding salvation. I stumbled upon the amazing 68th Psalm.

Psalm 68:19 Blessed be the Lord, who daily bears our burden. The God who is our salvation. Selah. 20 God is to us a God of deliverances; and to God the Lord belong escapes from death. – NASB

Now insert the Lord Jesus Christ into this verse and watch it come to life:

Psalm 68:19 (in fullness) Blessed be the Lord Jesus Christ, who daily bears our burden. The Lord Jesus who is our salvation. Selah.  20 Jesus Christ is to us a God of deliverance; and to Jesus Christ belong escapes from death.

By doing this we can now see that Jesus Christ himself IS salvation.

Jesus Christ is salvation, its not something he did or we have to do, he himself is salvation.

And so belief and faith and trust in him is itself salvation coming into our lives.

This also agrees with countless scriptures in the gospels, Isaiah and many other places, for example; Galatians 3:13 Christ redeemed us from the curse of the Law, having become a curse for us for it is written, “Cursed is everyone who hangs on a tree” 14 in order that in Christ Jesus the blessing of Abraham might come to the gentiles, so that we would receive the promised of the Spirit through faith.

My book From His Side is being submitted to publishers now. In this book Salvation himself comes out of the Lord Jesus and speaks to a small group of Christians, Salvation is just one of forty different aspects of Christ who emerge from his side and speak in first person.  If you want to know the Lord in a deeper way then this book is for you.

A Lifetime of Seeing Christ

We can know about Jesus Christ, we can believe in Jesus Christ but I am convinced that the most important thing that can happen to us spiritually is to see Jesus Christ in a spiritual way.

We know about Jesus Christ and believe in Jesus Christ with our mind and intellect which are natural fleshly abilities.

But seeing Jesus Christ is a thing of the heart. When Peter confessed to Jesus that he is the Christ, the son of God, Jesus responded “blessed are you, flesh and blood did not reveal this to you but my father in heaven” (paraphrased).

“And I will say this, brethren, you do not know anything about the Church if you have not seen Jesus Christ —however much you have read and talked about it, if you have not seen Him, (and he is a lifetime of seeing) you do not know what the Church is. It is not a ‘thing’, an ‘it’. But if you have seen Him, it is a Him, it is a Person Who is dwelling in persons—that is the Church” – T. Austin Sparks

“A lifetime of seeing Jesus Christ” this is the life of a Christian gripped with fascination by their Lord. And then together in groups we reflect Jesus Christ into our towns and cities and nations, this is the ministry of the church.  If we can spiritually see him as he is, we will be conformed to him. It is not a matter of much study or earning our way to him or achieving some enlightenment. Seeing Jesus Christ in the Spirit first takes an act of God himself.

He reveals himself to human hearts, and as we see him more and more the veil between he and us is removed. Seeing Christ becomes a progressive act that does not occur during sermons or through worship songs in and of themselves.  It happens to the person who has an inner walk with the Lord, a person who is responding to him, a person who is seeking the Lord with all of their heart and to a people who do all of this with other believers.

seeking Jesus

Can you see him today? He looks like the horizon lighting up after a long cold night?

…and God said ‘Let There Be Light’
