He Who Has This Hope…

Dear Saints,

As I was seeking the Lord in what He would have me to post, He laid it upon my heart to share a revelation that I have been meditating on lately. However, this revelation is not something that many believers know about and will most likely be rejected by some because it goes against what has been taught in the churches of man.

Therefore, the Lord lead me to first share another revelation that still may be rejected by some but needs to be posted first as a foundation for the other revelation to be received. So I’m posting a teaching that I wrote a few years ago that I may have even posted in on this blog before, though I searched for it and couldn’t find it posted. However, even if you’ve read it on my blog before, it’s a good reminder to read. So please prayerfully read and meditate on what the Lord would have us to know before I reveal the other revelation in my next post.

Dear Saints, I wish to share with you all a mystery that is hidden from the carnal mind of man, yet is being revealed in these last days to those of us who are being enlightened by the brightness of His appearing within the hearts of the believers who purify themselves.  This mystery is Christ in us, our hope of glory.  “Of which I am made a minister, according to the dispensation of God which is given to me for you, to fulfill the word of God; Even the mystery which hath been hid from ages, and from generations, but now is made manifest to his saints: To whom God would make known what is the riches of the glory of this mystery among the Gentiles; which is Christ in you, the hope of glory: Whom we preach, warning every man, and teaching every man in all wisdom; that we may present every man perfect in Christ Jesus.”  Col 1:25-28 Webster.

Unfortunately, most Christians believe that they already have a full understanding of this mystery and believe it to simply mean that as believers in Christ Jesus, we have the life and Spirit of Christ living in us.  However, this mystery is much more than that….

At the very beginning of my Christian walk with the Lord, He began giving me a revelation of this mystery.  However, I soon discovered that very few Christians, even Spirit-filled Christians, have a revelation and understanding of Christ in us, our hope of glory.  I know this to be true because the vast majority of Christians are not seeking after our hope of glory, yet are instead seeking for a rapture, whether they believe in a pre-, mid-, or post-tribulation rapture.  Now, of course, we know that Jesus will eventually come for His people.  However, what most Christians miss is that He will first appear IN His people.  This appearing of Christ in His people is the mystery in which I speak of.

I often hear Christians mistakenly attribute themselves to the following scripture; “I am crucified with Christ: nevertheless, I live; yet not I, but Christ liveth in me: and the life which I now live in the flesh, I live by the faith of the Son of God, who loved me, and gave himself for me.”  Gal. 2:20 Webster.  If believers could receive a revelation of what the Apostle Paul was speaking of here, it would change their entire walk with the Lord.   Many attribute this scripture to themselves with the misconception that our own crucifixion was imputed to us once we accepted Jesus as our savior.  In a sense this is true as the way has already been made for us, however, from this position of revelation and faith, we walk it out into its reality.  If we all were instantly crucified with Christ once we accepted His life within us, then why would Jesus give us the command to take up our cross daily (the inner working of the cross—death to self). And why are we commanded to mortify the deeds of the flesh.  “And whoever doth not bear his cross, and come after me, cannot be my disciple.”  “For if ye live according to the flesh, ye shall die: but if ye through the Spirit mortify the deeds of the body, ye shall live. For as many as are led by the Spirit of God, they are the sons of God.”  (Luke 14:27, Rom. 8:14-13 Webster). 

When we have crucified our flesh, and have been crucified with Christ experientially and in reality in its fullness, then, and only then, can Christ have full reign in us and He will then manifest Himself to us, in us, and through us. “He that hath my commandments, and keepeth them, he it is that loveth me: and he that loveth me, shall be loved by my Father, and I will love him, and will manifest myself to him.”  John 14:21 Webster.

This manifestation of Christ in His fullness in us is our hope of glory which is His “appearing” spoken of in many places throughout the scriptures.  “Beloved, now are we the sons of God, and it doth not yet appear what we shall be: but we know that, when he shall appear (IN US), we shall be like him; for we shall see him as he is.  And every man that hath this hope in him purifieth himself, even as he is pure.”  1 John 3:2-3 Webster.

Many attribute His appearing spoken of in scriptures to be a rapture or second coming of Christ, yet in reality, this is speaking of Christ appearing in His people, not in the sky.  And when He appears IN US, we will then see Him abiding in our hearts and we will be like Him, perfect, holy, and arrayed in His glory.  It is only when we have crucified our flesh, and He appears to us within our hearts, that we will then see Him in His glory and we shall be like Him, sinless, perfect and in His glory, and we shall then abide in Him and He shall abide in us. “Whoever abideth in him sinneth not (is perfect and sinless): whoever sinneth hath not SEEN him, neither known him.”  when he shall appear (IN US), we shall be like him; for we shall SEE  him (abiding within us)  as he is”  …..then will ye also appear with him in glory.”  (1 John 3:6, 1 John 3:2 Col. 3:4 Webster). 

When we have borne our cross to the complete death of self and crucified our flesh, He will manifest Himself and appear in our hearts and we will then SEE Him and KNOW Him as He is and be just like Him, sinless, perfect, and in His glory. (1 John 3:2-3, 6, Col. 3:4)  That is our true blessed hope, not a rapture.  “For the grace of God that bringeth salvation hath appeared to all men,  Teaching us, that denying ungodliness, and worldly lusts, we should live soberly, righteously, and piously, in this present world;  Looking for that blessed hope, and the glorious appearing of the great God, and our Savior Jesus Christ (IN US);  Who gave himself for us, that he might redeem us from all iniquity, and purify to himself a peculiar people, zealous of good works.”  Titus 2:11-14. Webster

Unfortunately, many will reject this doctrine of complete salvation because of the prevalent false belief that we cannot be sinless and perfect until we die and reach heaven.  However, this belief is an affront to the reason Jesus came and died on the cross. “And she shall bring forth a son, and thou shalt call his name Jesus: for he shall save his people FROM their sins.”  “And that repentance and remission of sins should be preached in his name among all nations, beginning at Jerusalem.”  “Being then made free FROM sin, ye became the servants of righteousness.” (Matt. 1:21, Luke 24:47,    Rom. 6:18 Webster).  The scriptures tell us that Jesus came to save us FROM our sin, not save us IN our sin as many Christians like to believe.  They teach and believe that salvation is our promise of heaven instead of hell when we die.  But full salvation is the full deliverance from self and sin. Now there is our initial salvation from death unto life when we accept Christ as our savior. But scripture speaks of three levels of salvation. We are saved (our spirits are delivered from death unto life), we are being saved (we are crucifying our flesh and changing from glory to glory), and we shall be saved (we are perfected into His image and glorified).

Most of today’s Christians will reject the doctrine of salvation unto perfection and sinlessness because they only have a form of godliness, but deny the power of God to set us free from our sins.  “Having a form of godliness, but denying its power: from such turn away.”  “For the word of the cross is folly to those who are perishing, but to us who are being saved it is the power of God.”( 2 Tim. 3:5,  1 Cor. 1:18)  Now some may say that this preaching of the cross being foolishness to those who are perishing is speaking of Jesus’ cross being foolishness to the unbelievers.  Yet this scripture does not say unbelievers, it says those who are perishing.  And so, just who are those who are perishing?  “For if ye live according to the flesh, ye shall die: but if ye through the Spirit mortify the deeds of the body, ye shall live.” “ For to be carnally minded is death; but to be spiritually minded is life and peace” Rom. 8:13, 6 Webster. 

So then, those who are perishing are those who live according to the flesh, whether Christian or not.  They don’t believe that perfection (full salvation) is possible until one makes it into heaven.  Therefore, they don’t seek to purify themselves because they don’t have this hope within themselves.  (“And everyone who has this hope in Him purifies himself, just as He is pure.”)  1 John 3:3 NKJ

But to those who take up their inward cross and crucify the flesh, they find that the cross is the power of God unto our salvation FROM sin unto perfection, which leads us to the appearing of Christ in us, our hope of glory.  But sadly, those who reject this doctrine have unwittingly made themselves enemies of the cross.  (“For many walk, of whom I have told you often, and now tell you even weeping, that they are the enemies of the cross of Christ: Whose end is destruction, whose God is their belly, and whose glory is in their shame, who mind earthly things (i.e. they follow after their flesh instead of crucifying it through the inner working of the cross).”  Phil. 3:18-19 Webster.

Only those who have a revelation of this truth will seek purification through the inner working of the cross.  This doesn’t mean that all Christians who don’t have this revelation, or those who fail to obtain perfection, won’t make it to heaven when they die.  Perfection is not a prerequisite for getting into heaven.  We see this with the thief on the cross who had faith to believe in Jesus at the last moments of his life.  Also, we cannot obtain salvation by any works of our own flesh.  It is by faith alone in Christ.  The inner cross is the power of God’s Spirit working in us; it is not done by our own might or strength.  However, we activate God’s power to work in us by taking up our cross daily and working out our own salvation with fear and trembling.  (Luke 9:23, Phil. 2:12)  And so it is as we take up our cross, deny our flesh, and obey His still small voice, that we allow His power in us to change us from glory to glory and into the image of Christ.  But we have this treasure in earthen vessels, that the excellence of the power may be of God, and not from us.”  “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 Cor. 3:18 Webster.

It is unfortunate that many will reject this doctrine of perfection and sinlessness with Christ dwelling fully in us.  On the other hand, there will be many in these last days who will have their eyes opened to our true blessed hope and will purify themselves for His appearing.  “Many shall be purified, and made white, and tried; but the wicked shall do wickedly: and none of the wicked shall understand; but the wise shall understand.”  “but we know that, when he shall appear, we shall be like him; for we shall see him as he is.  And every man that hath this hope in him purifieth himself, even as he is pure.”  (Daniel 12:10, 1 John 3:2-3 Webster).

I understand that this mystery of Christ in us, our hope of glory, may be difficult for some to accept because of the many years of false teachings by the church.  However, I can attest as a witness that this doctrine is true.  For those who haven’t heard my testimony; many years ago God allowed me to experience full salvation.  And I’m not talking about a vision or dream, I was actually translated into perfection and experienced complete holiness in Christ.  And it was so far exceedingly above anything that we could ask or think.  Words cannot describe how glorious it was.  And even though I only experienced it for possibly a couple of minutes, it made such an impact on my life that I will NEVER accept any arguments from men that perfection is not possible on this side of heaven.  I have held onto that experience as a reminder and as my blessed hope to strive for.

Therefore, I pray that after reading this, the eyes of your understanding will be enlightened so that you too may pursue the real blessed hope—Christ IN US, our hope of glory.  “To them God willed to make known what are the riches of the glory of this mystery among the Gentiles: which is Christ in you, the hope of glory.  Him we preach, warning every man and teaching every man in all wisdom, that we may present every man perfect in Christ Jesus.”  NKJ

Much love and blessings to you all.

On another note; it’s that time when my rent and other bills are coming due at the beginning of the new month. So I ask you each to seek the Lord if He would have you to give a gift to help with my financial needs. And I greatly appreciate all my dear brothers and sisters who help carry my burdens. May the Lord abundantly bless you in return.

Walking In God’s True Path In This Hour

Dear Saints, please prayerfully read this important word from the Lord given through Pastor Mark.

---

The Lord says: “I love you, My people…because of My love, I come to help you to see, so you can REALLY see. Not as you have seen thus far…for so much of what you have been seeing is not truly of Me, but is compromised with the things of the flesh. For truly it is My desire that you walk as Me. Truly it is My desire that you be like Me. Truly it is My desire that you show the world that I am with you. This can only be done as you will walk out My path for your lives. Not the paths you have been walking…you have seen how that turns out!

For the path that I have for you is one that leads unto life. The path that I have for you is one that leads unto My TRUE blessings. Stop thinking in terms of prosperity & blessings of the flesh & start thinking about the way things truly are. For MY kingdom is not meat & drink…My kingdom is not how much money you have in the bank…My kingdom is not how many cars or homes you own. My kingdom is righteousness, joy, and peace in the Holy Spirit. So many of My people have failed to truly see this and walk in it.

So many had started right but then have gone out of the path that I had for them. So many have listened to well-meaning men, who have taught that having gain is godliness, but I said from such to turn away! How is it that My people still continue on a path that is not of Me? How is it that My people will still hold to doctrines & teachings that promote ungodliness? For I said that godliness with contentment is great gain! I need My people to see the error of their ways and to come back to Me. I need My people to see that what they have really done is to carve Me into an image that pleases them.

I need My people to see that they have molded and shaped Me into the image of their liking when I said to do no such thing! How long will My people continue on a path that leads away from Me? How long will it take until you perceive that the paths you have been walking on are paths of blindness? For you think that you see, but do not realize that you have walked away from Me & My plans for your lives. I have made things easy for you to follow Me, but somehow you still have found a way to go out of the way! For the path that I have for you is a path not hard to stay on…for I have made it into a literal “track”…a rut, so once you are on My path, the rut will keep you straight on to follow Me.

But even with My track in place, many of you have hit a bump in the road or some other disturbance and it has jumped you out of My track and has placed you on a path different than what I intended. So many do not even see this! So many are so consumed by their own plans and agendas that they do not see the way they are going. This is because they have taken their eyes off of Me and have put them on things they have carved & molded to BE Me. It is time for My people to see the folly of their way and to hear My voice again, anew. For the time has come for My people to return unto Me!

It is time that My people realize that they have been blinded by the seductions of the enemy and have followed a path not of Me. For when you will realize your blindness, then you will be able to see. For I will make darkness light before you and My illumination will open your eyes and you will see! As you will come to yourselves and know My words to you are true, you will be able to get back on track with Me and My righteousness will take hold of you, as it never has before. For your life will be fixed on what I say, instead of the things that deem your life to be.

I need My people to fully understand that there is a way that seems right to them, but I tell you they are the ways of death. This is not the path for My people…this is the path of the enemy. But somehow so many of those who say they are Mine, are convinced of the path they are on and continue forward, to no avail. They travel down this path, expecting things to change for the better, but instead, they only change for the worse. Sadly, so many fail to recognize that this path is not of Me because they have carved it and molded it to suit themselves when I never told them to do so.

It is time for My people to walk in My kingdom…My kingdom is not what you take it to be…it is what I say. As long as you seek a kingdom other than Mine, you will continue on a path that brings forth no real fruit that I desire…no fruit that truly pleases Me. This fruit only pleases the evil one…for it is his path that so many are on! My people are supposed to hear My voice and follow Me…My people are supposed to not listen to strangers! So how come so many of My people are doing this when I am the one they are to follow?

This is happening because My people do not see what they have done…they have carved Me into the image of their liking…they have molded and formed Me into something that pleases them. I am the Lord your God and you cannot form or mold Me…it is the other way around! It is time that My people humble themselves and see the error of their way and return unto ME. It is time that My people stop listening to voices that confuse them and take them off the path that I have for them. It is time for My people to truly be My people! So receive My words deep within your hearts and allow Me to take you unto Me afresh and you will not be disappointed, says the Lord!”

Dear Saints,

We are living in dangerous times and glorious times. But to experience the coming days of His glory and to keep from getting shipwrecked, it is so extremely important that we stay on the right path the Lord has for us. I know from experience that the enemy can deceive us into getting on the wrong path, even though it may seem right in our own eyes. We MUST stay humble and in repentance before the Lord at all times and always heed His still small voice. He will always guide us into His truth if we allow Him by not getting our eyes on other things that He has not called us to.

I pray that this word will be a help for all those who read it. And in return, please consider a love gift to help with my financial needs. Much love and blessings to you all in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ.

Your brother in Christ,

Walking Righteously In This Hour Without Offense.

Dear Saints,

Please, please prayerfully read this word from the Lord given through my spiritual father, pastor, and dear friend (Pastor Mark Moore). Just recently the Lord has convicted me and shown me that I have been carrying offenses against others including Pastor Mark and the government system. However, I hadn’t realized I was carrying these offenses. I often go to the Lord in repentance and especially when I have ought against another or have been offended. Even though our flesh should be dead to the point that it doesn’t get offended, most of us are not there yet and need to keep watch over our hearts. My offenses had taken root and I had not realized it, thinking that everything was OK because my own thoughts and justifications had me convinced that I had repented, when in reality, it was only in my head while my heart was still carrying offenses. But the Lord convicted me and showed me my error. So please consider my own confession and ask the Lord to search your hearts for any roots of bitterness or offenses you may be carrying without being aware.

---

The Lord says: “I come to you because of My great love for you all. I come to you to help you to walk with Me. I come to you to help you to see as I see & to walk as I walk. So many have heard the words I have spoken thru My servant & because it was not what they wanted to hear, they have rejected My truth & have taken offense, instead of humbling themselves unto Me. For I come to you by way of an everlasting love…a love that sees all & knows all. I come to you & speak the truth to you in love. But because what I say isn’t what you want to hear, you have found fault with My words…you have taken offense to the things I say.

Many will even go to great lengths to justify their own mindsets to rebel against what I say. How can you say that you love Me, but you refuse to do the things that I say? How can My people stay in a faith that is not of Me, but of the evil one! Never forget that he comes as an angel of light & deceives My people with smooth words that tickle the ears. So many of My people still hold to things that I have said not to do. How can My people stay where they are & believe that their lives as right in Me? For offenses have taken hold of My people more & more as time has gone by.

Things that have been said…things that have been done…My people have allowed the enemy to pierce thru My love & compromise them into striving & arguments within their being that destroys My love in their hearts. So many of My people are not aware of these things that have been going on in them for many, many years! But like a cancer that continues to grow, these offenses grow larger & stronger, so that My people are not even aware of them because they are so prevalent.

I said it must be that offenses will come & woe unto whom the offense comes thru, but what you do NOT know is that most offenses are only perceived by the one offended, because of hurts & trauma in their lives. Things do not go as they desire…things are perceived differently than what is real. As the enemy tricks them into taking offense in things, where no offense was ever intended or even thought of. My people need to understand that there is a difference in someone purposely doing or saying something to create offense & someone just perceiving something was said or done as an offense. My people need to understand the reality of what is happening…for offense is a demonic spirit.

Offense is of the enemy. Offense is not to be part of My people’s lives. For I have told you that you are to love one another. I have told you that you are to forget those things that are behind & reach forth unto those things that are before you…which are the prize of the high calling in Christ Jesus. So many of My people think that are doing this, but in reality, many still hold on to hurts & wrongs that I said to let go of & to walk with Me! How can My people think they are right before Me when their lives prove just the opposite? I need you to know that offense destroys faith! I need you to know that offense separates you from Me!

I need you to know that to continue in this evil and it will do you no good…on the contrary…it will only cause harm & remove you farther from Me! How often I could have taken offense in the things that I suffered…for I truly suffered many things! But so many of My people get offended by such trivial things & think that they have been severely wronged! I am calling My people to walk as I walked & do as I did. For when I was being nailed to the cross, I said “Father forgive them, they do not know what they are doing”. I could have taken offense because I was innocent, but instead, I took the higher ground of love & I loved until the very end of My life on this planet!

I need My people to take hold of My words & take hold of My life & be like Me! You are entering into the time of & revival & trouble…I need you to be a part of what I am doing, NOT what the devil is doing! You cannot say you want revival when in your heart you hold grudges & offenses. This is a contradiction! Can you not see that this very thought is of the evil one? Can you not tell that to entertain such things shows that you are not right with Me? I said to love one another. I said you could show Me your true love for Me, as you would love one another.

It is time that you stop allowing the demon of “Scandalon” in your lives! It is time that you reject every part of it & let go of the things that hold you back. So many want My healing…so many want Me to bless their lives, but so few do not even realize that Scandalon has been robbing them of the very things they are wanting in their lives! I need My people to come to themselves & see the error of their ways & return unto Me. There can be no offense in your hearts if you truly love Me. I told you this in My word…it is time that you receive it and walk in it!

For the time is coming I will send forth My angels to gather all offense and iniquity out of my kingdom and these will be cast into my furnace of fire where there will be weeping & gnashing of teeth! My people need to recognize the truth that I am imparting this day…for so many of My people say they are Mine, but their lives show the opposite. It is time for My people to remove all offense, grudges & unforgiveness from their lives while they still can. I am coming for a people that will shine as Me. The great majority of those who say they are Mine, do not shine at all…their light is compromised by hurts, grudges, unforgiveness & offense, both towards Me & also others.

So many do not even realize this exists, but I see it and know it well. And because I love you with an everlasting love I tell you the truth, so you can repent & be like Me. I need you to see that you have not truly been seeing clearly…you have only been seeing thru the smoke of pride & arrogance. You have only been seeing thru the arguments & strife you have allowed in your hearts. I told you not to judge others, but to judge yourselves, but you still continue to go the opposite of what I have said. When will you see the error of your ways, repent & turn back to Me? You need to see the truth…for only the truth will set you free!

You cannot hold on to the compromised “truth” that you have within you…it is pseudo…it is false…it is not of Me but of the evil one. Stop listening to voices that tell you anything against another. Stop giving heed to arguments in your mind that cause you to find fault with those around you. You need to see that doing these things is not pleasing to Me…it is pleasing to the enemy of your soul! I need you to see just how far My people have fallen away from Me & then to repent of their evil ways. I need My people to walk in love and forgiveness, just as I have done for you. Only as you will do this can I work in your lives, the way that I desire. So many are wanting Me to work in them, but they fail to do the things that are necessary for Me to do so.

You cannot hold onto false things or things that offend & think that My blessing will come forth…that is insanity. And that is what the devil wants…he wants you unable to walk as I have declared. He wants you to walk after him, for he comes only to steal, kill & destroy…but I have come that you might have life & more abundantly! You can only walk in My abundant life, by walking in love. You cannot walk in grudge, offenses and unforgiveness and think that I will bless you. Please stop believing in insane things and start believing the truth of My word. For I have called you unto the truth…you cannot do this and stay where you are…you must come back to Me! Hear My heart to you, My people do as I say…know that I love you and you will not be disappointed, says the Lord!”

---

Amen. Dear Saints, I pray that you each take this word to the Lord and ask Him to search your own hearts. Carrying offenses is the same as unforgiveness, which is a dangerous position to be in with the Lord. I’m grateful the Lord had mercy on me, but we are entering dangerous times and judgment is coming quickly to the house of God. So please take this word serious and ask the Lord to search your hearts and shine the light on any offense or root of bitterness you may have.

And if these words from the Lord have blessed or helped you in any way, would you please consider a love gift to help with my finances. Bless you all in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ.
