First of all praise is due to you father God
Heavenly Father
Making yourself equal with God
John 5-18- Living Bible (TLB)
Then the Jewish leaders were all the more eager to kill him because in addition to disobeying their Sabbath laws,
he had spoken
of
equal
God as his Father,
thereby making
Jesus spoke of ‘’God as his father,’’ and was instantly condemned by the Jewish leaders. Today if we speak of ‘’God as our father’’ we in effect as believers say the same thing as Jesus, and ‘’we declare ourselves equal with God.’’ Equal means to be like- identical, to be one and the same
I know most Christians and nominal religious people speak of ‘’God as their father’’ for they say the Lord’s Prayer. {
Our Father who {which} art in heaven
} but they do not significantly know or understand what they are in effect saying.
For the ‘’believer’’ it means they are declaring that ‘’God is truly their father’’ and that means they declare just as Jesus spoke of God as his father, that they also are equal with God, how audacious that seems, to declare ‘’God as your father’’ and say your ‘’equal with him,’’ yet that is what God says about us.
Romans 8:15-Living Bible-And so we should not be like cringing, fearful slaves, but we should behave like ‘’God’s very own children,’’ adopted into the bosom of his family, and calling to him, “Father, Father.”
Scripture tells us to ‘’call God father,’’ we are to call to him saying, ‘’Father, Father,’’ and the most awesome thing we can declare is that ~God is my actual father,~ knowing what you are declaring before heaven and earth and hell, that ‘’Almighty God is actually your father,’’ but is goes even further than just calling him father, it goes down into the depths of the living word where it says, ‘’as he is so are we,’’ because ‘’we are in Jesus’’ and ‘’also in him’’ as one being’’ now.
1-John 4:17-Amplified Bible
In this [union and communion with Him] ‘’love is brought to completion’’ and ‘’attains ‘perfection’’ with us, that we may have confidence for the Day of Judgment [with assurance and boldness to face Him], because as He is, so are we in this world.
This scripture tells us that ‘love’ is brought to ‘completion, and attains perfection’ with us; but something we dare, or may I say as the world would say, wouldn’t dare to say. But we, as children of the divine sperm would be expected to say is, ‘’Love whom the father is, is brought to completion in us,’’ for we are created divine beings, made of the same substance as Jesus, and we can say, ‘’I am a part of the divine being
and as a part
then I am.’’
1 John 4-16- Living Bible (TLB)
16 We know how much God loves us because we have felt his love and because we believe him when he tells us that he loves us dearly. ‘’God is love,’’ and anyone who ‘’lives in love’’ is ‘’living with God’’ and ‘’God is living in him.’’ 17 And as we live with Christ, ‘our’ *love* grows more perfect and complete; so we will not be ashamed and embarrassed at the Day of Judgment, but can face him with confidence and joy because ‘he loves us’ and ‘we love him too’
Hold this thought in mind, ‘’God is love,’’ and that is ‘’his nature’’ it is also ‘’his substance,’’ it is ‘’what he is made of;’’ we think of love as a ‘feeling’ but love is actually a ‘’solid substance’’ it is in essence a part of God’s flesh; scripture says, fish have one kind of flesh , animals have another kind of flesh and we have a different kind of flesh, and God being spirit, has a different kind of flesh than us, and when he created us from his own hand, and carved us in it, ‘’before he created our flesh bodies from the dirt,’’ but we were first of all carved in his hand, we were spirit beings created from the very flesh of God himself. From his divine sperm itself we were created.
Isaiah 49:16 New International Version
See, I have engraved {carved} you on the palms of my hands; your walls are ever before me.
We are actually carved on the hand of God, thus *making us a permanent fixture as part of him;* for an example; when someone gets a tattoo on his hand or arm, or on some other part of their body, this remains a permanent fixture on their body, for it becomes a part of their body doesn’t it? It has become them in fact, there goes John with all his tattoos, they don’t say there goes those tattoo’s on their own, no, for they are now a part of whom John is. And we became a part of God because he carved us in the palm of his hand, or arm as some scriptures say. So if we are carved in the palm of his hand then in effect we have become a part of him in some supernatural way, and God is a supernatural being, just as our spirit is supernatural in its makeup.
When we become part of him then this makes us the same as him and in effect ‘makes us him’ in some divine way that God ordained, not man, but by God’s authority and power; he has the ability to make us what he wants us to be and if he says we are joined to him through Jesus then we in effect have become one in him and so become him, just as john’s tattoo’s become a part of him.
God goes on to say something few Christians dare to even say as if it is something dirty they are saying about God. And this is because the devil has deceived them into thinking this way, for he does not want the Christian to know who or what they truly are in the sight of God.
1 John 3 Amplified Bible (AMP)
9 No one born (begotten) of God [deliberately, knowingly, and habitually] practices sin, for God’s nature abides in him [His principle of life, the divine sperm, remains permanently within him]; and he cannot practice sinning because he is born (begotten) of God.
God’s life remains in us.
1 John 4:12 English Standard Version –
No one has seen God at any time; if we love one another, God abides in us, and His love is perfected in us. 13By this we know that we abide in Him and He in us, because He has given us of His Spirit.
Abide means to {Abide definition, to remain; continue; stay: Abide with me}
God abides in us, we abide in Him and He in us, God is reinforcing our belief to help us understand that we abide, = ‘’remain,’’ ‘’continue to remain,’’ ‘’stay in him’’ but also it means the same for him for we abide
remain,
continue to remain,
stay in him as part of him
and so we can say we are equal with and in him for without him we are nothing.
But the devil would have us shy away from the truth for as we know the truth shall set you and me free, and he wants us thinking this is to much like blasphemy and not scriptural but you are reading the scriptures and are reading the definition of words and you are in effect what God says you are.
A child is part of their parents, especially the mother, now why would I say ‘especially the mother,’ well it’s because when you were conceived where were you conceived, it was of course inside the mother’s womb; and where did you live for nine months? Inside your mother, and did that make you your mother, yes it actually did, for you and your mother were then ‘’one by the umbilical cord,’’ though ‘’two separate living beings’’ *you were one with, and in your mother, because of that umbilical cord,* you were ‘’connected as one for nine months,’’ but with God there is a silver spiritual cord of life that *connects you to the father* and ‘’so you are one with and in him’’ and will remain so for ever into eternity, because ‘’he *never* ‘’disconnects that silver cord of life for it is part of him and part of you also in spirit.’’ And then you come to life totally in spirit when the flesh part dies, for you go on in eternity as part of your heavenly father. It is the reverse of the physical life cycle.
Ecclesiastes 12:6-Living Bible
Yes, remember your Creator now while you are young—before the silver cord of life snaps and the gold bowl is broken; before the pitcher is broken at the fountain and the wheel is broken at the cistern;
Life in the mother’s womb lasts for nine months;* ‘’life in the father continues into eternity,’’ the very opposite to natural human life and into a supernatural eternal life
in him in heaven.
As long as you remained in the mother’s womb you remain part of her, and as long as you remain in God you go on to eternity in spirit, exactly the opposite of life in God, you remain part of him, and a part means it is him just as part of the mother is separate individuals from the baby or babies, so we are part of him and are him but like Jesus was separate from the father but still one with and in the father even whilst he was here on earth he identified himself as part of God as his father and so was accused as claiming to be equal with God and he in effect was God as we now know.
The word part means to be an element of him, fraction, ingredient, piece, component and branch.
Look at what the word part means take one portion alone for it says = branch! Did Jesus not say we are the branches he is the vine.
John 15:5-English Standard Version
5"I am the vine, you are the branches; he who abides in Me and I in him, he bears much fruit, for apart from Me you can do nothing. 6"If anyone does not abide in Me, he is thrown away as a branch and dries up; and they gather them, and cast them into the fire and they are burned.
Jesus did indeed say he is the vine, and we are the branches, is not the branches a part of the tree, or would you say this is not a tree because it has branches? The branches are a part of the whole tree, we are a part of the whole God, according to Jesus because as branches we remain in him we abide in him we live in him as part of him and so in this world we are the same as him, even if we are just identified as branches, we are still of the same tree and so we are the tree.
15
Anyone who confesses (acknowledges, owns) that Jesus is the Son of God, God abides (lives, makes His home) in him and he [abides, lives, makes his home] in God.
16
And we know (understand, recognize, are conscious of, by observation and by experience) and believe (adhere to and put faith in and rely on) the love God cherishes for us. God is love, and he who dwells and continues in love dwells and continues in God, and God dwells and continues in him.
17 In this [union and communion with Him] ‘’love’’ is brought to ‘’completion and attains ‘’perfection’’ with us,’’ that we may have confidence for the Day of Judgment [with assurance and boldness to face Him], because as He is, so are we in this world.
Because as he is, so are we in spirit of course not in flesh. I used to think it was Jesus this scripture was talking about but now I realise that it is actually talking about ‘’Father God,’’ for it says anyone who dwells and continues in love, {for God is love} because as ‘’He’’ is, so are we in this world. As ‘’he God’’ is,’’ ‘’so are we, in this world!’’ Who is saying such things about us? No one else but God our father, for he even says we are in ‘’union and communion’’ with him. It sounds preposterous to the human worldly mind to think that we could be called God by God, and in effect say you are one with him and one with means equal with him. We forget that the word says we can’t even imagine what God has in mind for us to be
1 John 3:2- Living Bible (TLB)
Yes, dear friends, we are ‘’already God’s children, right now, ’’ and ‘’we can’t even imagine’ what it is going to be like later on.’’ But ‘’we do know this,’’ that ‘’when he comes’ ‘’we will be ‘’like him,’’ as ‘’a result of seeing him as he really is.’’
God gave us the very ‘’same new life he gave Jesus,’’ and is Jesus God? Of course he is; and if he God, gave us the ‘same new life he gave him’ does that new life not incorporate itself into ‘’Father God’’ in spirit as trinity God. ’’ Is it no wonder that the Jewish leaders accused Jesus of saying he was equal with God, for he was speaking the same truth about himself as ‘’we are supposed to speak’’ ‘’about what our heavenly Father God declares about us.’’
Can God do what he seems to claim to be doing with us, making us equal with him? God is the creator of all that is and was and will be, and he can make us like himself; and like actually means ‘equal’ also and equal means- to be the same as, identical, equivalent, the same, one and the same, like and like means, similar to, in the vein of, resembling, approximating.
When God speaks of us being equal or like him or Jesus, then he knows what he is implying, or saying forcefully; he knows in other words what he is saying directly to us. ‘’We will be ‘’like him,’’ who is right to say such things about ourselves, us? No! It is God himself who attributes these things he says about us, and ‘’what he decided to make us billions of years ago in heaven long before the world would ever come into being.’’ ’’Ephesians 1 4’’ We can’t even imagine what exists on other planets never mind what exists in the mind of God.
Ephesians 2:5 Amplified Bible
Even when we were dead (slain) by [our own] shortcomings and trespasses, ‘He made us
alive
together
in
fellowship
and in
union
with Christ;
[He gave
us
the
very life of Christ
Himself, the
same
new life
with which He quickened Him, for] it is by grace (His favour and mercy which you did not deserve) that you are saved (delivered from judgment and made partakers of Christ’s
There are so many times I have used these very scripture to show how God either sees us or talks about us, as ‘in his eyes,’ what he sees, for he sees what we cannot. My heartfelt prayer is that God opens the eyes of my spirit; my understanding, to see how he sees; for what I see does not correspond with what he sees. For he sees with the eyes of his spirit, I see with my physical eyes and with the power of my mind, which does not affect the things around me.
One of the prophets said to God to ‘’open the eyes of his servant’’ and he seen thousands of angels in flaming chariots when the servant only seen was the enemy surrounding them.
Romans 6:11 Complete Jewish Bible
In the same way, consider yourselves to be dead to sin but alive for God, by
your
union
with the
Messiah Yeshua.
I am dead to sin but I am alive to God and alive in God because of my union, my joining together in Jesus by my divine father.
1 John 17 King James Version (KJV)
I pray not that thou should take them out of the world, but that thou should keep them from the evil.
that the world
thou hast loved
{Look at the words Jesus used here in this scripture, ‘’I in them’’ and ‘’you in me’’ that ‘’they be perfected in one,’’ and the verse before that says 21 that ‘’they all may be one;’’ as ‘’thou, Father, art in me,’’ and ‘’I in thee’’ that ‘’they also may be ‘’one’’ in us.’’. This is God telling us that his plan is to immerge [to disappear by entering into any medium, as the moon into the shadow of the sun] us into him, in Jesus; and he emerges; [Emerge is used of coming forth from a place shut off from view, into sight and notice: The sun emerges from behind the clouds] himself into us as one being united together in spirit ‘’in him and in Jesus’’ all being perfected as one in him.
Do all these scripture verses not tell us that ‘’we are one in him and he is one in us,’’ *as one spiritual being created by God our father himself.* Man has no idea what God is doing or even planning to do with and in us, as himself.}
24 Father, ‘’I will’’ that* they also, whom thou hast given me,* ‘’be with me where I am;’’ that *they may* ‘’behold my glory,’’ which ‘’thou hast given me:’’ for thou loved me before the foundation of the world.
Look closely at what Jesus is saying for he does not mince his words but speaks only truth like silver seven times refined. ‘Father ‘’I will,’’ that’s ‘‘his perfect will’’ that we be with him where he is, and ‘’where is he?’’ He is ‘’one with’’ and ‘’in the Father’’ as one being in the kingdom of God. And what is his will? That we also be ‘’with him where he is,’’ and that is in the father as one spirit being. For we know that we have been immerged into union with and in him as
one spirit being = God. May they, that’s us; be with me where I am? Where is Jesus I ask you to think closely before you answer?
my glory,’’ which ‘’thou hast given me:’’ scripture tells us that ‘’we are his glory’’ so we have been given to God as Jesus glory
25 O righteous Father, the world hath not known thee: but I have known thee, and these have known that thou hast sent me.
And I have declared unto them
name,
and will declare it:
that the love wherewith thou hast loved me may be in them, and I in them.
Jesus said he has declared unto us God’s name, declared means confirmed whom we are in that name.
John 5 Living Bible (TLB)
Then the Jewish leaders were all the more eager to kill him because in addition to disobeying their Sabbath laws,
he had spoken
God as his Father,
thereby making himself equal with God.
Can we speak of God as our father? I know I can; for he declares he is my father and my God also, and as father and God he can do what he likes or thinks without having to consult me
Chapter two
Who said the following was it some man or God?
Genesis 1Living Bible (TLB)
26 Then God said, “Let us make a man someone *like ourselves,* to be the master of all life upon the earth and in the skies and in the seas.” 27 So God made man *like his Maker.* *Like God* did *God make man;* *Man and maid did he make them.*
31 Then God looked over all that he had made, and it was ‘’excellent in every way.’’ This ended the sixth day.
I have said in previous books that I believe that God created so many planets in the multiple galaxies he created so that he could place us in them to create as he did, to bring to life that what does not exist. Why did he make those planets if not to populate them with different kinds of life forms? Now this is only my personal view for why would he create us with the power to create as he does, if not to give us possibly a planet each, who knows what’s on the mind of God, but this is just a possibility not a reality, for I am not God but I do have a portion of the mind of Christ and think maybe just maybe this is a future plan of God for he made us all gods made in his divine image and likeness.
To get back to what I am writing about now and that is if you call God your father you in effect say you are equal with him. Now look back at that scripture and see what it is expressing in it, God said, let us Father, Son and Holy Spirit make man, “Let us make a man
like ourselves,* someone like ourselves, and the word
similar to, resembling, approximating, equal reminiscent of, identical.
means to be alike, to be identical, the same, one and the same, like;
God is saying that we are identical to him and this is how he has made us, ‘in his own divine image he made us spirit beings’ that were later on clothed with flesh and had a soul from the beginning.
Who dares say such things like this about themselves how dare they, the audacity of them to declare what God says about them, and how could he say such things about us, his own creation, that he made in his image, his own likeness, for image means- likeness, representation, reflection, copy. And yet I dare say what God says about me, I am equal to God in my spirit, and I say this because he chose me from the beginning to be made in his divine likeness his divine image, to be the same as him and I probably will never understand this in my spirit until I stand before my heavenly father and know the final truth of the love he showered upon us his divine children whom he calls gods.
Psalm 82:6 Living Bible
I have called you all “gods” and “sons of the Most High.’’
John 10:35 King James Version
If he called them gods, unto whom the word of God came, and the scripture cannot be broken;
The word came to us and we accepted him; and so this actually makes us god’s; for God the Almighty God declares us to be called god’s with a small ‘g’ he made us in his own divine image he is God we are god, for we are sons of the Most High God.
I call God my father thereby I am making that same declaration that Jesus was accused of, making myself equal to him; and yet I know that I am one in Jesus and one in God according to the word of God the bible, for ‘’as he is so are we in this world.’’
1-John 4:17-Amplified Bible
In this [union and communion with Him] ‘’{GOD}’’ love is brought to completion and attains perfection with us, that we may have confidence for the Day of Judgment [with assurance and boldness to face Him], because as ‘’He ‘’{GOD}’’ is,
so are we’’ * in this world.*
I inserted the word ‘’{GOD}’’into the scripture so you know whom it is talking about.
I used to think that this meant that ‘’as Jesus is’’ ‘’so am I in this world’’ but it does not mean that at all, for in the next scripture; ‘’examine it carefully,’’ for you will see it is ‘’God who is saying, ‘’as he is so are we, in this world.’’ Not as Jesus is but as he is! Extraordinary isn’t it? For it changes my perspective of what I believed about this scripture. I have taken almost the entire verse and examined it, now you read it and see where it leads you.
This is God describing you to yourself take the time to examine it thoroughly and study it and believe it; see how he describes you from the first words, ‘’little children you are of God.’’ ‘’*He who lives in you is greater* than anything this world can throw against you or confront you with including the devil or one or more of his cohorts.’’ We are getting to know and to understand God progressively by understanding and experience; this does not just happen overnight, you didn’t get to know your wife or husband overnight did you, and it is no different with God it takes progressive time and effort to get to know someone who loves you unconditionally.
4 Little children, you are of God [you belong to Him] and have [already] defeated and overcome them [the agents of the antichrist], because
He who lives in you is greater
(mightier) than he who is in the world.
5 They proceed from the world and are of the world; therefore it is out of the world [its whole economy morally considered] that they speak, and the world listens (pays attention) to them.
6 We are [children] of God. Whoever is learning to know God [progressively to perceive,
recognize, and understand God
by
observation and experience,
and to
get an ever clearer knowledge of Him]
listens to us; and he who is not of God does not listen or pay attention to us. By this we know (recognize) the Spirit of Truth and the spirit of error.
7 Beloved, let us love one another, for love is (springs) from God; and he who loves [his fellowmen] is begotten (born) of God and is coming [progressively] to know and understand God [to perceive and recognize and get a better and clearer knowledge of Him].
8 He who does not love has not become acquainted with God [does not and never did know Him], for God is love. 9 In this the love of God was made manifest (displayed) where we are concerned: in that God sent His Son, the only begotten or unique [Son], into the world so that ‘’we might live through Him.
10
In this is love: not that we loved God, but that He loved us and sent His Son to be the propitiation (the atoning sacrifice) for our sins. 11 Beloved, if God loved us so [very much], we also ought to love one another.
12
No man has at any time [yet] seen God. But if we love one another, God abides (lives and remains) in us and His love (that love which is essentially His) is brought to completion (to its full maturity, runs its full course, is perfected) in us!13 By this we come to know (perceive, recognize, and understand) that we abide (live and remain) ‘’in Him’’ and ‘’He in us:’’ because He has given (imparted) to us of His [Holy] Spirit.
14 And [besides] we ourselves have seen (have deliberately and steadfastly contemplated) and bear witness that the Father has sent the Son [as the] Saviour of the world.
15
Anyone who confesses (acknowledges, owns) that Jesus is the Son of God, ‘’God abides’’ (lives, makes His home) in him and ‘’he [abides, lives, makes his home] in God.’’
God is love,’’ and *anyone who lives in love is living with God* and *God is living in him.*
In this [union and communion with Him] love is brought to completion and attains perfection with us, that we may have confidence for the Day of Judgment [with assurance and boldness to face Him], because *as He is, so are we in this world.*
You are a spirit being and it is only as a spiritual being that you can come to any knowledge of whom our God is and what he done for us out of love for us!
‘’Because as God is’’ ‘’so are we,’’ ‘’not as Jesus is,’’ though ‘’Jesus is God also,’’ but this changes our perception of the power we have as ‘’he is the greater one God himself living in me.’’ Somehow or other the devil would have us diminish Jesus in some way, and who he is; and have us focus on him; and not on father God and ‘’what he is in us who believe.’’
He would have us think that Jesus is not as great as God but somehow or other smaller which is a downright lie.
Chapter three
Examine the divine word
Let’s take this word apart and examine it in the light of God’s Holy Spirit who leads us into all truth
‘’God is love,’’ and *anyone who lives in ‘’love’’ is ‘’living with God* and *God is living in him.* love is brought to completion and attains perfection with us,
We are created as a ‘’love substance’’ for spirit is ‘’love’’ ‘’divine love’’ taken from the very hand of God just as Jesus was originally, and when we go out into this world representing God our father, we are ‘’in effect God himself’’ ‘reaching out to others in our human form like Jesus when he walked on this earth. We are living in this new life that God created for us in love. And the more we surrender to love and all its demands of us, the more we surrender to God himself, for he is divine love, and ‘as we live in love,’ we live ‘with and in God,’ and this needs careful thought, to know and understand that we live in God and he lives in us as ‘’one spiritual being’’ with the ‘’same capacity as him.’’
This is a difficult concept to understand as human beings; yet we are one with and in God, for ‘we have become one in him’ and that ‘’makes us him,’’ there is only room for one God in us and it is him in us as one spirit, and he being the real spirit, and we are incorporated into him in some spiritual dimension, and we need to accept this and believe this for us to succeed, and to walk in that victory the word describes us walking in . What we are to become has not yet been revealed but it is getting close, for the things that God is revealing to me a mere human being of no great significance is astounding me, and knowing others have even greater revelation from God as to who they are and have been created to be is awesome to know.
1 John 3 1 New Revised Standard Version, Anglicised Catholic Edition (NRSVACE)
3 1 See what *love* the Father has given us, that we should be called children of God; and that is what we are. The reason the world does not know us is that it did not know him. 2 Beloved, we are ‘’God’s children now;’’ ‘’what we will be has not yet been revealed.’’ What we do know is this: when he is revealed, ‘’we will be like him,’’ for we will see him as he is.3 And all who have this hope in him purify themselves, just as he is pure.
We will be like him; as I said before the word like means to be similar to, approximating, resembling, akin to, in the vein of, reminiscent of. So the word again tells us again and again we are ‘’like him’’ ‘’we are the same as,’’ ‘’we are equal to him,’’ and to even think this somehow or other seems unthinkable. But we have been given the very mind of Christ Jesus itself so we can think like him in everything concerning his divine word for this is a message from our heavenly father to us revealing secretes he promised to reveal.
Genesis 1Amplified Bible (AMP) 26 God said, Let Us [Father, Son, and Holy Spirit] make mankind in ‘’Our image,’’ after ‘’Our likeness,’’ 27 So ‘’God created man’’ *in His own image,* in the *image and likeness* ‘’of God* *He created him;* male and female He created them. 28 And God blessed them
I am repeating this scripture for I referred to it previously but this time I am pointing something different out to you and to myself also. What was it God said to his other parts; ‘’let us make mankind in *our image* after ~our own likeness,’’~ was God in trinity form, a flesh and blood being, or was he
referring to their spirit side? We know that he didn’t make man in flesh and blood form until later in ‘Genesis two’ when he took dust from the earth and clothed mans spirit with flesh and blood.
Genesis 2-7-Living Bible (TLB) 7 The time came when the Lord God formed a man’s body from the dust of the ground and breathed into it the breath of life. And man became a living person.
God said; ‘let us make man in ‘’our image’’ and ‘’likeness;’’ he said this before he formed man from the dirt of the earth, when we were spiritual beings, he made us then in his own divine image and likeness, and image means =representation, figure, shape, form, similarity, illustration, reflection, and copy, similar version.
Who is saying these incredible things about us? None other than the ‘’Holy Trinity, - God’’
Likeness means =resemblance, reproduction, similarity, rendering, parallel
God planned from before the beginning of time itself to make us in his own divine image and likeness; he intended to make us the same as himself, to be as scripture calls us ‘’gods.’’ To say, ‘’we are equal with God is not blasphemy’’ but an ‘’acknowledgement’’ of what only he could do in us.
To be truthful I believe it will be soon that God will open the grace door so that I can understand the equality and confidence that God placed in me, and in you his own divine children, to know and comprehend what he in effect truly done for us; for we can barely believe that he has forgiven us before we even ask and has healed us whilst we remain sick and in pain.
Scripture tells us that, ‘’we are filled with the Godhead, Father, Son, and Holy Spirit;’’ can we believe this as fact? Yet this is a truth that sets us free from all sorts of things including fear.
Christ there is all of God in a human body; 10 so you have everything when you have Christ, and you are
filled with God
through your
union with Christ.’’ He is the highest Ruler, with authority over every other power.
10 And ‘’you’’ *are ‘’in’’ Him,* ‘’made full’’ and *having come to fullness of life* [‘’in Christ
you too’’ are *filled with the Godhead* *Father, Son and Holy Spirit* and ‘’reach full spiritual stature’’]. And He is the Head of all rule and authority [of every angelic principality and power].
The word ‘’in’’ means ‘’inside something,’’ it also means a ‘’state of being’’ ‘’condition’’ and ‘’heavenly dignity’’ . So when God says you are ‘’in’’ him it means that you are a ‘’state of being’’ and ‘’heavenly dignity’’ and ‘condition.’’ You are ‘’made full’’ and *having come to fullness of life* [‘’in Christ’’ ‘’you too’’ are *filled with the Godhead*—*Father, Son and Holy Spirit*
If you are filled with something is it possible to get any more in? No! Because of our being *in* Christ Jesus,* and as being *in* union* and ‘one’ ‘’with and *in* him;’’ We have also been ‘’made full, come to fullness of this life’’ and ‘’filled’’ to the total brim with the ‘’Godhead, father Son and Holy Spirit’’ and come to ‘’fullness of life.’’
We have actually come to fullness of life in Christ and as the word says, ‘’I no longer live but Christ Jesus lives in me’’ and we, the old us, has died and no longer lives; and the ‘’person truly living in spirit in us is Christ Jesus,’’ who is part of the trinity as God. So what does that make us who have died? ‘’God’s;’’ put that in your pipe and smoke it as the old saying goes.
Chapter four
As he is so am I in spirit in this world
As he is so are we in this world. Is God, God? = as he is so are we in this world. Can he work miracles? As he is so are we in this world; so can we!
Can God do anything? So we can do anything in this world also?
For ‘’as he is’’ he then says ‘’so are we’’ it is us that chose not to believe him. We are litterly terrified to say, ‘’as he is in this world and believe as he is
exactly is so are we.’’ This sounds like blasphemy to the people of this world and even to Christians, yet it is ‘’Almighty God’’ who dares say such things about you and me; and I chose to believe him, no matter how outlandish it may seem to be to others.
Look at all these scriptures for they say to us that ‘’as ‘he is’ so are we’’ explaining in different meanings to us ‘as ‘he is’ so are we,’ ‘we are filled with the Godhead,’’ so this makes us the same as him, for we are filled with the Godhead, and you cannot get anything into something that is full of God himself.
If were ‘’full of God’’ and ‘’are the same as him in this world,’’ and ‘’in union with and in him’’ ‘through Jesus’ and we have the ‘’greater one’’ livening in us,’’ and ‘’it is no longer I who live but Christ Jesus who lives ‘his new life in’ me’’ and he made us in ‘’his divine image’’ just like him, then what is it that is stopping us from believing that God has called us to be him in this earth.
For ‘as he is’ ‘so are we’ according to the divine word of the living God; who is right, God or man? What we do know is this: when he is revealed, ‘’we will be like him,’’ and like means the same as.
The only problem with all of this is do we accept it or reject it and if accepted then do we act on it, do we set the sick and oppressed and downtrodden free from their oppressors.
1-John 4:17-Amplified Bible
In this [union and communion with Him] because as He is, so are we in this world.
I live in a world that is so unimaginable it is almost impossible to understand divine truth and to separate it from the world of flesh that my human mind understands. But this world I live in now tells me spiritual things that are so unbelievable that it is so hard to comprehend unless my spirit is opening to the truth of the divine plan of God; that ‘he should make me’ what he said he was doing ‘in the beginning in Genesis,’ that he is creating me ‘’like himself, God’’ for we Christians say; ‘’we are the body of Christ Jesus,’’ who is God in human form, yet we don’t believe it. It is past human logic or understanding. Yet we divine beings that have been created by our heavenly father have this unique sign in us that ‘’as he {Almighty God} is, so are we in this world.
As he ‘’God’’
is; not ‘as Jesus is,’ though Jesus is Almighty God also. But it is selective in its understanding that we are the very same as God himself in this world in spirit not in flesh and blood or mind but we actually do have a ‘’portion of the mind of Christ Jesus.’’ I am in ‘’union’’ ‘’with God’’ and union means to be blending, coming together, fusion, merger
communion
spiritual union,
and
empathy
and
means to be,
in relationship.
in unity,
This is what God’s word is saying to you and me but do we accept this or is it just too much to believe. Almighty God is declaring to you and to me that, ‘’as he is so are we in this world,’’ not in the universe or in heaven but on ‘earth’ we are the same as him, as he is so are we ‘in this world,’ it doesn’t say in heaven or in the galaxies but in ‘this world’ ‘alone;’ we are ‘’one with and in him in heaven in the kingdom of God’ not separated from him but as joined together in him
In the following scripture the word tells us that ‘’in Christ Jesus’’ in whom we are ‘in’ also, there is ‘’all of God in a human body’’ and if ‘’all of God’’ fits into a human body in spirit, in which there is no size; and ‘’in spirit’’ he is *also* in this human body of ours; for our body fits into the spirit not the other way around.
Colossians 2 9 Amplified Bible
9 for in Christ there is all of God in a human body; 10 so you have everything when you have Christ, and you are ‘’filled with God’’ through your ‘’union with Christ.’’ He is the highest Ruler, with authority over every other power.
So we are filled with God, and filled means, full, overflowing, crammed, to the top, no more room for anything else. Filled it says; we are filled with God and so we must give way to the filling with God in our spirit, and believe what incredible things he is saying to us who chose to believe him, but the hardest part comes when we step out to try and exercise his power in us, will it work?????
That is the question we will ask ourselves when we confront sickness and disease and deformity in people; for this is where I am at. I am in a healing ministry and ‘’as God is’’ ‘’so am I in this world;’’ do I step out, and will I see the miraculous happening through me because inside of me is convinced that ‘’as he is so am in;’’ I believed for years it was ‘as Jesus is so am I,’ but now that
has all changed, for I now realise that the divine word actually means ‘’as God is, so am I in this world.’’ Somehow or other it was easier to believe ‘’as Jesus is’’ ‘’so am I in this world,’’ for he was after all human. And it is easier to think this about ourselves, ‘as Jesus is’ then it’s ok for me to think and believe this but to actually understand now it actually means ‘’as God the Almighty is’’ ‘’so am I,’’ this is a greater difference in my human understanding; even though I know they are both the same.
Chapter five
Let heaven fill your thoughts
Colossians 3:2 Living Bible
2 Let heaven fill your thoughts; don’t spend your time worrying about things down here. 3 You should have as little desire for this world as a dead person does. ‘’Your *real* life’ is in heaven with Christ and God.’’ 4 And when Christ who is our real life comes back again, you will shine with him and share in all his glories.
God is trying to get us to focus our attention on the fact that ‘’our real life’’ is in heaven, and this life we live is only temporal, it does not go on into eternity, but when ‘’we are joined together ‘with and in’ union in Jesus,’’ ‘’we are *one* for eternity in him’ and of course ‘as he is God, we are ‘in God also.’’ ‘’God actually shares all his glory with us’’ who believe that we are human beings with God in us in some tiny way; but this is not true for we are eternal beings created by the hand of Almighty God himself to be like and equal to and with him in Christ Jesus, and so created us to share in all realize this is saying share in all his glories; we were created to share all that God himself is from the very beginning as part of God himself as a portion of himself carved in his very own hands, from his own divine flesh.
Realise something here it is not me who says these incredible things about us but it is God himself who says that he created us in Christ from before the world even began billions of years ago in heaven. All that we see now is the plans that God told us about in Jeremiah is now today being fulfilled by him and by no one else. We were created to share, to partake in the divine nature, and nature means personality, life, and character.
We are supposed to reflect his glory to everyone that is what we were created for, to show others how to come back to their position in the father and to share in his divine nature, and the word share means = split, go halves,
contribute to, divide, distribute, allocate; God wants to split his divine being with us, he desires to go halves with us his own children as part of a proud fathers inheritance; he wants to distribute himself to all of his holy children for he created us ‘like,’ equal with himself out of love for us. That is why the devil hates us with such intensity; you replaced him as greatest in heaven! God has bestowed upon us great and precious and exceedingly great promises, promises that the human mind cannot comprehend, only by revelation to your spirit will it come to fruit as to who and what we are, for we will be like him when we see him.
2 Peter 1:4 Amplified Bible
By means of these ‘’He has
bestowed on us His precious and exceedingly great promises,’’ so that through them you may escape [by flight] from the moral decay (rottenness and corruption) that is in the world because of covetousness (lust and greed), and
become
of the
divine nature.
God actually called us to share in his divine nature now, and that means before we actually return to him in spirit when we leave this mortal body; and he actually wants us to become aware of who and what we are now in this world for ‘’as he God is’’ –‘’so are we in this world.’’ He desires that we ‘’become,’’ turn out to be {him} that we develop into {him} and be converted into {him} and grow into {him.} And share what belongs to him; and partake in him according to his plans from before time began, and it is awesome to be living in these plans of God, this is a tremendous time to be alive and to be a Christian child of a divine God. This is just a part of the inheritance that God has in store for us to share in, for what he gave Jesus is now ours also.
The word ‘’become’’ means to ‘’turn out to be,’’ ‘’develop into,’’ ‘’be converted into,’’ ‘’grow to be,’’ ‘’to happen to.’’
Sharers’’
means to {share a part or portion belonging to, distributed to, contributed by, or owed by a person or group}
We have been called ‘’partakers’’ of Christ and partakers of his divine nature and also.
Partakers means-{Full Definition of PARTAKE. intransitive verb. 1: to take part in or experience something along with others <partake in the revelry> <partake of the good life>}
God not only say this once but ‘’reassures us’’ that what he is saying is true for ‘’he’’ reinforces it to us in other scriptures.
Hebrews 3 14 King James Version (KJV
)14 For we are ‘’made’’ ‘’partakers of Christ,’’ if we hold the beginning of our confidence steadfast unto the end;
We, ‘that’s us,’ are ‘’made’’ ‘’partakers of Christ;’’ we share in everything Jesus is and was whilst on earth; for we are the *‘’same as ‘’God’ in spirit’’* on this earth or in this world. The word ‘made’ means the ‘’finished product; ’’ that’s why Jesus said on the cross on Calvary, ‘’it is finished’’ there’s nothing more for me to do, and he made me / you {Partake, to take part in, or experience something along with others,} from now on we will experience along with Jesus ‘who is God’ all he is and was whilst walking on this earth.
Hebrews 3 1 Hebrews 3King James Version (KJV)
3 Wherefore, ‘’holy brethren,’’ ‘’partakers of the ‘’heavenly calling,’’ consider the Apostle and High Priest of our profession, Christ Jesus;
God calls us holy; *to be like God,* ‘’holy brethren,’’ ‘’partakers’’ of the ‘’heavenly calling:’’ He is reassuring us again and again that we are called to share, to partake in ‘’his heavenly calling,’’ for it is him who chose us, and not us who choose him.
Chapter six
A new nature
The only way we could become like him again after Adam and Eve disobeyed God, was for our spirits to be reborn, to be given a new life, and the new life
and nature had to become the same as we were supposed to be before Adam and Eve destroyed it for us.
And so God plans to restore us to himself again was through Jesus taking the punishment for the sins we would commit and in doing so he would sacrifice himself for us and take our punishment for our sins upon himself in his human body, and die for us in our place. And in dying he would be raised to life again by the father and as he arose, he arose with a new life in him and in this new life was our new life in him, and in this new life he shared it equally with every human being from the moment of time till the end of time; and so he shared his new life with ‘you and me equally,’ for we died spiritually with him on the cross and now you and I have arose spiritually ‘with and in him’ and our intention is to ‘’let him live his new life through us’’ as much as we can.
Galatians 6:15-Amplified Bible
For neither is circumcision [now] of any importance, nor un-circumcision, but [only] a new creation [the result of a new birth and a new nature in Christ Jesus, the Messiah].
You can see we were the result of this new birth. And we were given a new nature; we were given his new life and new nature. We are not the same anymore spiritually for we have the new life of Christ Jesus in us and that makes us equal with God in Jesus who is also God, Jesus is not separate from the Father and the Holy Spirit for all are an equal part of each other neither has a greater part to play all within God is equal.
Romans 6:4 Living Bible
Your old sin-loving nature was buried with him by baptism when he died; and when God the Father, with glorious power, brought him back to life again, you were given his wonderful new life to enjoy.
Whose new life were we given to enjoy? Jesus new life, that’s whose, the old sin loving you died and was ‘buried with Jesus.’ What new life is Jesus living? His new life is seated beside the father in heaven enjoying all the fruits of his labour ‘’in him as one with him and the Holy Spirit,’’ and the Holy Spirit is now in us doing his work on this earth in power and strength.
Romans 8:9-Living Bible
But you are not like that. You are controlled by your new nature if you have the Spirit of God living in you. (And remember that if anyone doesn’t have the Spirit of Christ living in him, he is not a Christian at all.)
The ‘’new nature’’ that God gave us was ‘’his own nature,’’ and the word nature means ~’’character,’’ ‘’personality,’’ ‘’life.’’ so if you have the new nature and it is from God and is of God then that new nature is ‘’his personality,’’ ‘’his character,’’ ‘’his life’’ we are supposed to be living and it is in surrendering to ‘’his new nature,’’ ‘’new life,’’ ‘’new personality,’’ ‘’his new character,’’ ‘’his spirit,’’ ‘’his make up,’’ ‘’his moral fibre’’ that makes us the same as he is in this world~ in spirit, and this is where we are at and it is now we make a decision~ do I believe and confess to my spirit as he is ~ so am I in this world.
This decision will not change things for a while until it is confessed out of our mouths daily and believed and acted upon, then one time we confess it and suddenly we realise in our spirit this is true as my God is so am I because he made it so, and then I will begin to walk and talk and act as he is without having to try and force it, it will become natural according to the new nature. If you call God your father and he is then you in effect are saying you are equal with him and you are. It is by agreeing with the divine creator that brings forth truth, and the truth shall indeed set you free.
For in effect if you call God your father you in effect say your equal with him, and in fact this is in effect truest truth, the greatest truth you will ever come to realise whilst on this earth, for this is where you are equal to him; for ‘’as he {God} is,’’ ‘’so are you in this world.’’ Amen so be it if God says it then it must be true and if he keeps saying it, it must still be true even if we don’t believe him.
Chapter seven
I am ‘not’ ‘’as he is’’ ‘separate’ from him,
There is no way that I am separate from God in my boasting that, ‘’as he is so am I in this world;’’ for apart from him I am nothing and that is a fact. It is
only ‘’in him’’ that ‘’I live move and have my spiritual being.’’ ‘’In him’ I am as he is,’’ *apart from him all I’m worth is for burning up.* I am ‘’not as he is separate from him,’’ for that is blasphemy ‘’he is *my* ‘’everything,’’ ‘’he is *my* all’’ and I know that I partake in him as part of his plan and not mine.
God has called all his children into the knowledge of who and what we are in him, for *‘’in him ‘’I live,’’ and have ‘’my’’ being, as God in union with and in him as one spirit;’’* for as he is in spirit so am I in this world!”
Isn’t is just awesome to know and understand that it is in union with him and ‘’in union with God that makes us the ‘righteousness’ of God,’ for we are filled with the Godhead, father, son and Holy Spirit,
John 15:5 Living Bible
“Yes, I am the Vine; you are the branches. Whoever lives in me and I in him shall produce a large crop of fruit. For apart from me you can’t do a thing
Through my living in you and you living in me fruit is being produced for your glory alone; thank you Father God. Amen
