BEING THE WILL OF THE LORD
(Part V)
(BEING THE WILL OF THE FATHER)
“That which was from the beginning, which we
have heard, which we have seen with our eyes, which we have looked upon, and
our hands have handled, of the Word of life;
2. For the life was manifested, and we have
seen it, and bear witness, and shew unto you that eternal life, which was with
the Father, and was manifested unto us:)
3. That which we have seen and heard declare we
unto you, that ye also may have fellowship with us: and truly our fellowship is
with the Father, and with His Son, Jesus Christ.
4. And these things write we unto you, that
your joy may be full.
5. This then is the message, which we have
heard of Him and declare unto you, that God is light, and in Him is no darkness
at all.
6. If we say that we have fellowship with Him,
and walk in darkness, we lie, and do not the truth:
7. But if we walk in the light, as He is in the
light, we have fellowship one with another, and the blood of Jesus Christ His
Son cleanseth us from ALL sin.
8. If we say that we have no sin, we deceive
ourselves, and the truth is not in us.
9. If we confess our sins, He is faithful and
just to forgive us our sins, and to cleanse us from ALL unrighteousness.
10. If we say that we have not sinned we make
Him a liar, and the word is not in us.
Chapter 2:1. My little children, these
things write I unto you, that ye sin not. And
if any man sin, we have an advocate with the
Father, Jesus Christ the righteous:
2. And He is the propitiation for our sins: and
not for ours only, but also for the sins OF THE WHOLE WORLD.” I John
1:1-9; 2:2
Being the will of the Father will be the manifestation of His finished work, completed in us. When the potter has finished molding the clay vessels we will be the will of the Father. We will then be complete in His image. We will know Him as He is and we will be like Him. To know Him is to love Him – and to be like Him. To know Him to any degree is the degree that we are like Him. We know Him when he has apprehended us, when He makes Himself known unto us. Our response is to love Him for His great love that He has bestowed upon us. When He says “Come up hither, we leave everything behind to follow Him. We take up our cross to follow Him. He is the Pearl of great price that we will sell all to buy. “Come buy without money” the Pearl of Great Price. Sell all that you have to buy that Pearl that you buy without money. Sell out to self-will to buy the will of the Father without money. Give up all that you possess to gain HIM. Count everything you possess as dung to win HIM. This, my friend, is loving God above ALL THINGS.
And when we love our Father with ALL our heart, we love as our Father loves who loves ALL His creation – we will love our neighbor – all creation as ourselves. We will fulfill ALL the will of our Father when His work is completed IN us. We will, as Jesus said it, be fulfilling all the law of the prophets when we love God ABOVE ALL THINGS. And we will be the will of our Father, loving ALL His creation fully, as much as we love our Creator. We will love all creation including ourselves fully, as much as we love our Father and that will be as fully as He loves us.
Therefore we will fulfill all righteousness IN Him. We will be the will of our Father in this vessel of clay, molded by Him to be like Him; to be His image in this earth; to be His image manifested in this earthen vessel that He has made to perfection. We ARE His workmanship created IN Christ Jesus unto good works. We can know, now, that He will finish what He planned from the beginning. What He purposed before the worlds were framed, He has already completed in heaven and it will be completed IN these vessels of clay, ALL these vessels of clay. He has created EACH ONE and NOT ONE will be lost.
In His Image we will be incorruptible as He is. That is the finished work manifested IN these vessels of clay. It is the finished work of the first Adamic nature that has to die so that we become completed in the second Adam. The second Adam, The Christ, The Son of the LIVING God is the incorruptible Seed of the Father and THE INCORRUPTIBLE SEED begets LIKE SEED – INCORRUPTIBLE SEED. They made man in Their image. Our heavenly Father begat a seed after His own kind. They begat seed after their own kind. And therefore, ALL creation was made in THEIR image. ALL will be like the Father. ALL will be incorruptible.
The works of God has already been done in heaven. He is resting, enjoying His finished work. His work has been finished in heaven so that He can rest and enjoy what He made that He said was ALL GOOD, therefore we can rest, assured, ALL creation is ALL MADE GOOD. The manifestation of His completed work in heaven is progressively taking place IN our earth and in all the earth. The manifestation of our Father’s work in heaven is progressively taking place IN this earthen vessel and in all creation. We are travailing in birth for it to take place on earth. O TO BE LIKE HIM is our travailing cry! It will be our travailing cry until we ARE like Him. And the glorious truth is that WE SHALL BE LIKE HIM.
We can be securely at rest in the knowledge of the truth that WE SHALL BE LIKE HIM. THIS CORRUPTION SHALL PUT ON INCORRUPTION. We will be clothed upon from on high. We know this when we have been apprehended by Him and know of a truth that in God there is no lie. He cannot lie. He cannot sin. He is INCORRUPTIBLE AND HIS SEED, LIKE HIM, IS MADE INCORRUPTIBLE. What He began IN us He has promised to finish – to bring to completion through the LIVING CHRIST WITHIN US. THE WORD – THE LIVING CHRIST WITHIN US – IS INCORRUPTIBLE AND IS BRINGING ABOUT THE COMPLETED WORK OF GOD TO COMPLETION WITHIN US, HIS FIRSTFRUITS. And then to ALL His creation.
This is the ministry of reconciliation – the ministry that we have been called to - to fulfill – the ministry of God’s love for ALL – the ministry we have been given to proclaim the truth - THE CHRIST, THE SON OF THE LIVING GOD HAS COME TO RECONCILE ALL BACK UNTO GOD – THE EVERLASTING GOSPEL OF TRUTH. And the wonderful part about this is that we will ALL be incorruptible. Seed has begotten seed of His own kind! We can enter into His rest that He has prepared for them that love Him. We can enter into HIS resting place and rest IN Him – be at rest with Him enjoying His finished work WITH Him in this resting place.
This, my friend, is the secret place of the most high God. And here, we are at rest under the shadow of the ALMIGHTY – the ALL SUFFICIENT ONE – THE MANY BREASTED ONE – FULL OF LOVE, MERCY AND GRACE. He sent His only begotten Son to come into this world to give us LIFE AND LIFE MORE ABUNDANTLY – TO GIVE US HIS LIFE – FULL OF LOVE, MERCY AND GRACE – MADE IN HIS IMAGE – LIKE HIM – IN HIS FULLNESS AND INCORRUPTIBLE. We have tasted of this life. We have known the greatness of His love. In response we have taken up our cross to follow Him. Our heart’s cry is, “O to be like Him” and we will not be satisfied until we awaken like Him – until we awaken IN HIS IMAGE.
We have this vision now. We shall be like Him. We know this for we know Him who is truth, who cannot lie. We know Him who could make a covenant with us, who swore by no other but to swear by Himself, because there was no greater, to covenant with us that He will finish what He has begun in us to make ALL of man in His image. And because it is not in man to keep our part of the covenant, He sent us THE CHRIST, THE SON OF THE LIVING GOD, to be a propitiation for our sins, who took our place, becoming the perfect sacrifice. His shed blood, the perfect sacrifice, pleased our Father. We were yet dead in our sins, we were in Christ when our Father raised Christ into the heavens above all heavens to sit with Him on His throne.
This is where ALL CREATION now IS because of God’s love, mercy and grace. We are all Hid in God with Christ Jesus, in the heavens above all heavens, whole and complete, perfect and entire, wanting nothing, and sharing His glory upon His throne with Him in glory. This is a finished work. It is done. It is completed in the heavens. We are to keep our eyes on these heavenly truths while it is all taking place IN this earth and upon this earth by progression IN each one of ALL His creation, each in their own time. And in the ages to come we shall see the salvation of the Lord in all the earth. For every knee shall bow in humble reverence before our Maker and every tongue shall sincerely confess that Jesus is Lord to the glory of the Father. The time WILL come when no man will need to say to his neighbor “Know the Lord” for ALL shall know Him, from the least to the greatest and the knowledge of the Lord shall cover this whole earth as the waters cover the sea.
O God, how great Thou art – how great Thou art. Bless the Lord, O my soul, and all that is within me bless HIS HOLY NAME. Bless the Lord, O my soul, and all that is within me bless HIS HOLY NATURE. Bless the Lord, O my soul, and all that is within me bless HIS HOLY IMAGE! GOD IS LOVE! And God’s love, mercy and grace will be manifested in ALL His creation. We will - ALL creation will eventually be IN His Holy Name, His Pure and Holy Nature, IN His very Image.
The Apostle Paul penned the anointed truth of the Word of God when he wrote the Word: “Eye has not seen, nor ear heard what God has prepared for them who love Him.” And the day will come, “That EVERY eye shall see Him,” EVERY ear shall hear Him and EVERY SOUL shall know Him as He is and shall be like Him. Glorious day, O glorious day that will be, for we will ALL be ONE back IN our MAKER, our CREATOR, our WONDERFUL GOD OF LOVE, MERCY AND GRACE. And we will ALL be in HIS image, THE SEED that begot ALL seed IN HIS IMAGE, incorruptible, forever and ever incorruptible even as our CREATOR, forever secure we have always been IN Him and forever secure we will always be IN Him!
We have always been in the hollow of His hand and we have always been the apple of His eye, and we shall forever be in the hallow of His hand, the apple of His eye. We are ALL hid IN Him, now, with Christ as their work is already finished. The Holy Spirit of Promise sent by Jesus from the Father is perfecting us to be reconciled back IN the Father. The first fruits, the Bride will be the first to be reconciled back IN the Father. Jesus is coming for His bride that is preparing herself. She will be without spot or wrinkle. We will know Him as He is. We will be like Him. We will see Him as He is.
I John 5:18-20
We know that whosoever is born of God
sinneth not; but he that is begotten of God keepeth himself, and that wicked
one toucheth him not.
19. And we know that we are of God, and the
whole world lieth in wickedness.
20. And we know that the Son of God is
come, and hath given us an understanding, that we may know Him that is true and
we are IN Him that is true, even In His Son Jesus Christ. This is the
true God, and eternal life.
