The time of the manifestation of the Sons of God is fast approaching. Before we can receive a Glorified Body certain changes must happen within us. We need to learn how to maintain a right spirit at all times, and our soul has to be transformed so that the Spirit of God can rest upon it and make his home in it. If we cannot keep our soul under submission to our spirit-God cannot dwell in it. When our soul has been transformed, God is able to partake of it and enjoy the fruits of the Spirit continually manifested in it.
God desires intimacy with us, He desires us more than a man can desire the perfect woman. He longs for intimacy with us. He is calling us to be the bride who has made herself ready. We become pure and spotless as His love is perfected in us. Our only consuming desire is to let nothing separate us from partaking of His being. We want to be aware of His presence all the time. It is a spiritual intercourse which removes the veil.
There are certain spiritual changes which must precede the glorification of our physical body. We must first experience an overwhelming manifestation of the divine nature before our release from the human nature is made manifest.
We have to learn how to walk in the spirit, so that we no longer respond to situations on an emotional plane like fallen sons and daughters of Adam and Eve.
Divine goals differ greatly from human goals. Until we are wholly absorbed in only one thing, the spiritual will of the Father, and nothing else matters to us, we are not going to respond with the divine nature. Self will still be on the throne getting frustrated because it’s will is not being done.
Our spirit must be set to be filled with all the fullness of God, so that we can get completely off the human level. We must desire to be a manifested son of God and not just a human being who is having all his human desires and needs fulfilled.
To rule and reign as a Son of God over all of God’s creation, requires for us to go through a process that will bring us into son-ship, where we enter into a oneness with God, spirit, soul and body.
All the divine attributes that are in Jesus Christ will also be in all the members of his body. When we realize the high calling of God it will change the way we think about ourselves and our attitude toward everything that happens to us. We have the responsibility to move more and more out of the human plane and into the spiritual plane.
The Corinthian’s were walking like mere men; the worse thing a church can do is walk and live like human beings.
We are aspiring to be more than just members of the human race; we are aspiring to come into the Glory that belongs to the sons of God.
It is our privilege and responsibility to manifest Christ to the world; we have a responsibility to participate in God to respond and to react with the divine nature.
Our obedience is wrought in us by participation into the divine nature. We were not created to obey God. We were created to be his help-mate-(His bride,) a Son of God who will inherit everything that God owns.
As long as we think of our self as a human being we will have the problems of a human being. As we see ourselves as an extension of God, the problems of the flesh will leave. We need to begin to react as God would react-we have been given His nature-all of His divine qualities that develop as we begin to exercise in them. We will enter into the coming liberty of the Glory of God first, and then all of God’s creation will follow. God is bringing us out of our flesh and into Himself.
The natural creation is in a state of corruption, God is not dealing with it, it will be destroyed with fire and pass away. The only thing that God is dealing with is the new-creation.
The Holy Spirit first teaches us how to move in God, and then He teaches us how to move into God. This process happens by the grace of God which creates an infusion of God so great that we will be able to say, it is no longer I who live, but Christ who lives in me. The divine nature with its responses and reactions will completely take over, until we are totally different. We are in a state of change and we are going from glory to glory. This process is taking place in our spirit which transforms our soul.
The right to become the manifested sons of God involves a responsibility on our part to predetermine even as God does.
The first thing we have to do is to stop thinking of ourselves in terms of past insecurity or inadequacy. The reason we reacted and did thinks that produced shame was because our spirit was not in tune with God, where His life was flowing in us, moving and controlling us.
When we learn how to walk in the Spirit-(through the infilling and out-flowing) of the Spirit, we will be clothed with the Spirit where we have His thoughts and emotions flowing through us. The fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom, in the past we have made decisions based on self-which placed us in a position to be hurt-so we responded in the flesh.
We need to spend time waiting upon the Lord as we allow Him to search our heart to show us how we have responded in self, so we can predetermine how we should have responded in God to those situations.
We predetermine in God what we are going to be. Like Jesus we are going to do always those things that will please the Father. We must remember false guilt is feeling guilty about the past. We need to be aware of the danger of losing a right spirit that is not in tune with God-but as we stay connected to God we will respond in Him. What we need to concern ourselves with now, is how we will respond in the future.
Our first responsibility is to discover what our Father wants; then determine to want that too.
Times of defeat occur only when our focus drifts from God during the course of the day. Our attitudes and decisions should be predetermined. Otherwise when something happens for which we are not prepared, we will react on a human level.
We have to predetermine the type of reaction we will have.
When someone hurts our feelings, and we stop loving them, that reaction comes from a human love. Human love is an illusion and is self-centered. If in moments of stress or difficulty we turn away or reject love, then our love is only on a human level. Divine love does not react on that level it suffers long and is kind. We will react on a human level if we love on a human level. God will test every relationship.
God requires relationships that are based on a love that predetermines its reactions- what it is going to be and what it is going to do. If we are not walking in the Spirit, we will slip unknowingly out of divine love into a human love. We need to get our love off of a human level onto the divine level.
We have to have a predetermination to respond as a worshiper of God who only manifests His love. How a person treats us should not affect how we respond to them. The reason people do not respond in the divine nature is because they lack wisdom. Our focus is to be on how we respond to every situation. We are coming to the end of all flesh, and coming into the days of his glory, when all human reactions will be removed. God is bringing down everything that is of the human nature. But he is also coming to be glorified in his people; little by little he is taking over. Everything is coming down except what God is, what he has done and what he has wrought in us.
We have to predetermine to never lose faith in anyone, no matter what they do or what they say. God will remove the capacity to hate, if we predetermine not to hate.
When people offend us it may hurt, but we must predetermine to respond with God in it.
We must never lose sight of the heavenly vision that God is working in our life.
As we enter into a new level of responses, the human reactions will give way to divine reactions.
We must believe that we can co-exist in the world as Sons of God. Our reactions should be totally different from the world.
We must let God invade our entire being.
