TEXT: PSALM 66:8-12: (The
book of Praises)!
Regardless of what you may be going
through, you can find an answer in the Psalms: whether it’s in relation to: distress; prayer; praise; history;
prophecy; promise; hope; instruction; comfort; guidance; deliverance: you
can find “RELIEF” in the
Psalms.
As we look
around today at the troubling situations going on in the world: politically;
socially; economically; and ecclesiastically, it looks very weary and
dark. Despite these circumstances, God’s people are yet “in a wealthy
place”!
●
Psalm 91:1 He that dwells in
the secret place of the most High shall abide under the shadow of the Almighty!
●
1 Peter 2:9 But
ye are a chosen generation, a royal priesthood, an holy nation, a peculiar
people; that ye should show forth the praises of him who hath called you out of darkness into his
marvellous (amazing; astounding; glorious; awesome)
light.
Webster defines “wealth”
as much money or properties; a large amount; valuable products,
contents, etc; everything having value in money. Synonyms: riches; fortune; opulence; affluence;
prosperity; means; resources; money; plenty; plenitude; luxuriance; excess;
plethora; sufficiency.
Wisdom; Elevation; Anointing; Life;
Truth; Health; (It’s Your Time Now. With these things you’re already in “the
wealthy place”!
Wealth in
the Hebrew is revayah’ meaning
satisfaction; runneth over;
from another root word ravah’
meaning to slake the thirst (occasionally of other appetites) – meaning to
water; make drunk; fill; satiate; bathed; satisfied; abundantly satisfy; soaked.
This is what we want to do, “soak and bathe” in the anointing of God, so that our
heart, soul, mind, and body can be abundantly
satisfied in Christ Jesus!!!
WEALTH can be
descriptive of several things; yet, it has its advantages and disadvantages.
- ADVANTAGES
OF HAVING WEALTH:
●
Given by God: Deuteronomy 8:18-19 But thou shalt remember the LORD thy
God: for it is he that giveth
thee power to get wealth, that he may establish his covenant which he sware unto thy fathers, as it is this day. And it shall be, if thou do at all forget the
LORD thy God, and walk after other gods, and serve them, and worship them, I
testify against you this day that you shall surely perish.
●
Source of security:
Proverbs 18:11 The rich man’s wealth is his strong city, and as a high wall in his own conceit (egotism; pride; self-esteem).
●
Adds friends: Proverbs 19:4 Wealth maketh many friends; but the poor is separated from his neighbor.
●
Ecclesiastes 10:19 A feast
is made for laughter, and wine maketh merry:
but money answereth all things.
Answereth is from the
root word anah’) [to eye or to heed,
i.e. pay attention; begin to speak; testify; announce, respond
or reply].
- DISADVANTAGES
OF HAVING WEALTH:
●
Material possessions: Genesis 34:29 (Simeon
& Levi killed the men of Shechem because one of them had
defiled their sister Dina) And all their wealth, and all their little ones, and their wives took they
captive, and spoiled even all that was in the house.
●
Produces self-sufficiency: Deuteronomy
8:17
And thou say in thine heart, My
power and the might of mine hand hath gotten me this wealth.
●
1 John 3:17 But whoso hath this world’s good, and sees his brother have need, and shutteth up his
bowels of compassion from him, how dwelleth the love of God in him?
●
Leads to conceit (vanity; pride; egotism; self-esteem): Job 31:25 If I rejoiced because my wealth was great, and because mine hand
had gotten much. Verse 28 This
also were an iniquity to be punished by the judge: for I should have denied the God that is
above.
We thank God for
jobs, pensions, 401k’s, social security, etc, but these are only “resources”
because God is our “source”! God
is our “WEALTHY PLACE”!!
●
Philippians 4:19 My
God shall supply all your need according to his riches in glory by Christ
Jesus.
When it comes to
God, OUR
WEALTH is in His Son,
Jesus the Christ. Therefore we must not only have Christ in
us, but we must be “in Christ”, which is our “WEALTHY PLACE”!!!
2 Corinthians 5:17 Therefore
if any man be in Christ, he
is a new creature (creation); old
things are passed away: behold, all
things are become new.
Our being “in Christ” is being back in fellowship with the Spirit God, which is the place that Adam (male &
female) was in in the beginning, before they fell.
He, Adam
(male
& female), was in the same position with the Father that Jesus was
in when He was manifested, but Adam lost his “wealthy place” when he
sinned. But God restored that “WEALTHY
PLACE”
of Spirit relationship of
man back with Himself through Jesus
the Christ.
Adam’s WEALTHY PLACE was called the “garden of Eden”
which was even at that time “in Christ”. Our
WEALTHY
PLACE is called “heaven”
which now is still “in Christ”!!!
●
Ephesians 2:6 And hath raised us up together, and made us
sit together in heavenly places
in Christ Jesus.
The “garden of Eden” was
not a physical garden of flowers and trees – it
was a place of power; a spiritual realm as
“heaven”
(elevation; power) is a spiritual
realm in which is fruitfulness, prosperity, righteousness,
dominion, authority, power, wisdom, knowledge, understanding, counsel, fear
(reverence), divine health, perfect peace, eternal life that we are in now being “in Christ”.
Ephesians 2:6 For
he hath raised us up and made us sit together in heavenly places in CHRIST JESUS (our “WEALTHY PLACE”!)
Adam’s
son-ship with the Father even then was in Christ because everything started in Christ!
●
Genesis 1:1
In the
beginning, (and CHRIST IS THE BEGINNING) God created the heaven (the
Spirit Man Christ) and the earth (the flesh Man Jesus).
Everything began in “CHRIST”.
●
Colossians 1:18 And he
is the head of the body, the church:
who is the beginning.
●
Revelation 1:8 I am Alpha and Omega, the beginning and the
ending, saith the Lord, which is, and which was, and which is to come,
the Almighty:
●
Revelation
1:17 I am the first and the last.
●
Revelation 3:14: “I am the beginning of the
creation of God”!
I stated “Adam’s son-ship” because
Adam was “the son of God”.
●
Luke 3:38 Which
was the son of Enos, which was the son of Seth, which was the son of Adam, which was the son of God.
With it being that everything started “IN CHRIST”, everything has to go back to or be fulfilled IN CHRIST”!
●
Ephesians 1:10
That
in the dispensation of the fulness of times he might gather together in one all things IN CHRIST, both which are in heaven, and which are on earth; even IN HIM.
●
2 Corinthians 5:19 To
wit, that God was IN CHRIST reconciling the
world unto himself!
THE FIRST ORDER OF BEING IN THE WEALTHY
PLACE:
- LOVE:
●
Mark 12:30-31 And
thou shalt love the Lord thy God
with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy mind, and with all
thy strength: this is the first commandment.
31 And the
second is like, namely this, Thou
shalt love thy neighbor as thyself.
There is none other commandment greater than these.
Exodus 20 (the Ten Commandments) 1) Thou shalt have no other gods before me. 2) Thou
shalt not make unto thee any graven image.
“Love” was
an Alpha command:
●
Revelation
1:8 I am Alpha and Omega, the beginning and the ending.
Genesis 1:26-27 When
God created man (male & female) in His own image and after His likeness He created them with His “love” in them!
And in Genesis 2:7,
when
the
LORD God breathed into man (male & female), he
breathed the “love” of God into them.
These Adam people were in such a “wealthy place” in God that they didn’t need a “commandment” saying, “Thou shalt love God” because they already “knew to love God” and “to love one another”!
1 John 4:8
states, “God is love”! So in
actuality, we can say: In the beginning “LOVE” created the
heaven and the earth.
●
1 John 4:7-8, 20-21
Beloved, let us love one another: for love is of God; and every one that loveth
is born of God, and knoweth God.
8 He that loveth not knoweth not God; for God is love.
20-21 If a man say, I love God, and hateth his brother, he is a
liar: for he that loveth not his brother
whom he hath seen, how can he love God whom he hath not seen?
21 And this commandment have we from him, That he who
loveth God love his brother also.
The revelation in
this is – when I or you love our brethren, we automatically love God because that is God manifested in flesh
form! Jesus was God in flesh form.
●
St. John 1:1 In
the beginning was the Word, the Word was with God, and the Word
was God
●
St.
John 1:14 And
the Word was made flesh and dwelt among us.
●
1 John 4:17 As
He is, so are we in this world.
Mark 12:30 And
thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and
with all thy mind, and with all thy strength:
this is the first commandment. (Vs
31): And the second is like, namely this, Thou shalt love thy neighbor as thyself. There
is none other commandment greater than these.
Revelation 2
The
message to the church of Ephesus:
●
Revelaton
2:4-5 Nevertheless
I have somewhat against thee, because thou
hast left thy first love.
5 Remember from whence thou art fallen, and repent, and do the first works.
The Adam people had gotten away from the “first
works”, which was, “loving God first”.
They had gotten away from eating of the “tree of life” and began eating of the “tree of
knowledge of good and evil” (which
caused them to manifest the fruits of
evil and not the fruits of love).
Verse 5 The first works is “to love God and
His people”!
●
John 13:34-35 A new
commandment I give unto you, That ye
love one another; as I have loved you, that ye also love one another.
35 By this
shall all men know that ye are my disciples, if ye have love one to another.
●
John 4:24 God is a Spirit.
●
1 John 4:8 God is love.
So this tells us that “love”
is a “spirit”. So in actuality you can read Genesis 1:1 In the
beginning “love” created
the heaven and the earth because God Himself is “love”.
You can’t kill God so how can you kill “love”? So when you hear someone say “I
used to love them”, you know that they never did.
●
1 John 4:20 If a
man say, I love God, and hateth his brother,
he is a liar: for he that loveth not his
brother whom he hath seen, how can he love God whom he hath not seen?
THE SECOND ORDER
OF BEING IN THE WEALTHY PLACE:
- HAVING “LIFE”
●
John 10:10 I am come that they might have life, and that they might have it more
abundantly.
●
John 14:6 I am the way, the truth, and the life.
This “life” John is speaking about is Zoe’,
meaning life and lifetime; also from another root word za’o, meaning to live; be alive; quick; lively. Zoe’ means life in the absolute (in
its perfect and complete form) as
God Himself has it! The same
“life” which the Father has in Himself, and the life which He gave to
His Son to have in Himself.
●
John 5:26 For as
the Father hath life in himself; so hath he given to the Son
to have life in himself.
And this is the same life which the Son (Jesus) manifested in the world.
●
1 John 1:2 For the life was manifested (brought to light; shown; displayed; demonstrated), 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.
This is the life
the Son has given to us.
●
John 10:10 The
thief cometh not, but for to steal, and to kill, and to destroy: I am come that they might have life, and that they
might have it more abundantly.
The “abundant life” is not just having life but
knowing that you “are life”!
●
If you just “have life”, someone can take it!
But if you “are life”, no
one can take it!
John
14:6 I am the way, the truth and “the life”.
●
John 10:18 No
man taketh it (my life) from
me, but I lay it down of myself.
Remember even with
all they did to Jesus in relation to the crucifixion, He didn’t die until
“He gave up the ghost”!
●
St. John 3:16 God
so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever
believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life.
Eternal &
Everlasting comes from the same
Greek root word, aio’nios (ahee-o’-nee-os), meaning perpetual: forever / also the word “aion” stressing time in its unbroken duration.
“Life eternal”:
●
John 17:3 This
is life eternal, that they
might know thee the only
true God, and Jesus Christ, whom thou hast sent.
This is in respect
to the increasing knowledge of God
because we must “know” (discern
completely) Him to live! This is
being in “THE
WEALTHY PLACE”!
●
Hosea 4:6 My
people are destroyed for the lack of knowledge.
●
John 17:1-3 These words spake Jesus, and lifted up his
eyes to heaven, and said, Father, the hour is come; glorify thy son, that thy
Son also may glorify thee: As thou hast
given him power over all flesh, that he should give eternal life to as many as
thou hast given him. And this
is life eternal, that they
might know thee (discern completely) the only true God, and Jesus
Christ, whom thou hast sent.
“Eternal life”
stresses the quality (status; grade) of life. “Everlasting life”
stresses its length (which is unending)!
●
1 Corinthians 15:53-55 For
this corruptible must put on incorruption, and this mortal must
put on immortality. So when this
corruptible shall have put on incorruption, and this mortal shall
have put on immortality, then shall be brought to pass the saying
that is written, Death is
swallowed up in victory. O death, where is thy sting? O grave, where is thy victory?
This doesn’t happen “up
yonder somewhere out in heaven”; it takes place right here and right now
according to our faith!
To be in this “wealthy place”, one doesn’t
have to die to have “everlasting or eternal life”.
●
John 5:24:
Verily, verily, I say unto you, He that
heareth my word, and believeth on him that sent me, hath everlasting life, and shall not come into condemnation; but is passed from death unto life.
We can have it if we believe for it right here and right
now! You don’t
get the victory by dying; you get the victory by living!
The “wealthy place”
says that we can have the fullness of God in us right now!
The “wealthy place” says we are overcomers right now, not one of these days
when you get to heaven.
The “wealthy place” says you’re in heaven right now in Christ
Jesus”! The “wealthy place” says we are already more than conqueror,s
and we can do all things through Christ who strengthens us!
It is from this “life” (Zoe’) that man has become
alienated (estranged; made hostile) in consequence with the fall:
●
Ephesians 4:17-18 This I say therefore, and testify in the
Lord, that you henceforth walk not as other Gentiles walk, in the vanity
(conceit) of their mind (seat of one’s
consciousness) having the understanding darkened, being alienated from the
life of God through the ignorance that is in them, because of the blindness of their heart (thoughts, feelings (mind – or the
core of one’s being).
This word “MIND”
(Ephesians 4:17) is from the root word (nous) meaning the intellect, in relation to the mind
(divine or human; in thought,
feeling, or will); understanding. The “intellect” is the ability to reason and
understand. It also means having the ability to not only “understand but also to accept knowledge”. This definition of “mind” also goes
to the word ginos’ko, meaning
to know completely; be aware of; feel; can speak; be
sure; recognize. Recognize
what? To recognize not
just our “humanity” but our “divinity”
as well!
As he is, so are we in this world (1 John 4:17).
*** Ephesians 4:18 HAVING
THE UNDERSTANDING DARKENED
This word “understanding” is from the root word
dian’oia meaning deep thought, properly, the
faculty (mind or its disposition); what’s implied is its exercise: imagination.
Most Christians are more “surface (external; superficial) thinkers”, than they are “profound (internal; heavy;
intense; thorough) thinkers”.
1 Corinthians 2:10 But
God hath revealed them unto us by his Spirit:
for the Spirit searcheth all things, yea the deep things of God:
“Deep” comes from the root word bath’os, meaning profundity,
in relation to extent; mystery.
It’s also from bathus’, meaning profound (as going down) deep.
Profound is very
deep; marked by intellectual depth. Going
into the “deep things of God” surpasses the intellect because only the Spirit of God can
reveal the deep things of God to us.
●
1 Corinthians 2:11 For what man knoweth the things of a man,
save (except) the spirit of man which is in him? even so
the things of God knoweth no man, but the Spirit of God.
●
Verse 14 But the natural
man receiveth not the things of the Spirit of God: for they are foolishness unto him: neither can he know them, because they
are spiritually discerned.
●
Romans 8:6 For to be carnally minded is death:
but to be spiritually minded is life and peace.
*** Ephesians 4:18 HAVING
THE UNDERSTANDING DARKENED
Darkened is from skoti’zo, meaning to deprive of light; to obscure (make dim; opaque;
cloudy; gloomy; dusky; concealed; confuse; vague; hidden); to shade; darkness
of error. Man
has been deprived of the very “light” (knowledge) of God Himself.
●
Colossians 2:8 Beware lest any man spoil you through philosophy
and vain deceit, after the tradition of men, after the
rudiments of the world, AND NOT AFTER
CHRIST.
Light has many definitions, but the main ones I want to
point out are: to enlighten or
illumine; to have knowledge; to understand; be lucid (to be made clear; transparent; understandable; sane;
rational). We must come to know God for
who He is in us and to us and all we are in Him and to Him, right now, not out
beyond the blue.
I pray you can
receive this: God is Spirit, yet He has a body
in which He dwells called “the church”. Though He has put on
flesh (St. John 1:1-2; 14),
He still retains and maintains His identity as the Spirit God!!! We are members of His body, of His flesh,
and of His bones (Ephesians 5:30),
●
Acts 7:48 Howbeit the most High dwelleth not in temples
made with hands; as saith the prophet.
●
1 Corinthians 6:19 What? Know ye not that your body is the temple of
the Holy Ghost which is in you, which ye have
of God, and ye are not your own?
(Vs 20): For ye are
bought with a price: therefore glorify
God in your body, and in your spirit, which are God’s.
That’s why 1 Peter
1:13 tells us to gird up the loins of your mind.
This word “mind” and the word “understanding” in Ephesians
4:18 come from the same root
word “dianoia”! Peter is saying gird up (tighten up, strap;
encircle; equip, fortify) the loins (reproductive part) of
your mind” (dian’oia) or
deep thought! The
mind has “loins” that can reproduce
the total of Christ in us, right here on this earth and right now!!!
●
1 John 4:17 For as he is, so are we in this world!
We must know something in order to live!
●
Hosea 4:6 My people are destroyed for
the lack of knowledge.
Jesus’ prayer in John 17:3:
●
John 17:3 And this
is life eternal, that they might know thee the only true God,
and Jesus Christ, whom thou hast sent.
●
Philippians
3:10 Paul said, That I may know him,
and the power of his resurrection, and
the fellowship of his sufferings, being made conformable unto his death.
These words to “know” in both these scriptures are from the same root word ginos’ko,
meaning to know in the absolute [completely; perfectly; thoroughly]; perceive; understand; allow; be
aware (of); feel; have knowledge; be resolved; can speak; be sure. It means to be taking in knowledge, to come
to know, recognize (to be aware
of as known before); understand; or to understand completely.
That’s what’s meant in Revelation
1:3:
●
Revelation
1:3 Blessed is he that readeth, and they that hear the words of this
prophecy, and keep those things which are written therein: for the time is at
hand.
The word “readeth” doesn’t mean just to pronounce
words, but it’s from anaginos’ko, meaning “to
know again”.
First we must understand that we were with the Father in the beginning.
●
St. John
1:1-2 In the beginning was the Word,
the Word was with God, and the Word was God. The same (that’s US) was
in the beginning with God.
Then we had to be manifested in the flesh also: Verse
14 And the Word was made flesh.
When it was time for “a son of
God” to come forth, that son (male and female) was manifested. That’s why there were certain ones born only
when God was ready to bring them forth:
Isaac (Genesis 21);
Samson (Judges 13); Samuel (1 Samuel 1); John the Baptist (St.
Luke 1); Jesus (Galatians
4:4); and yes, you and me (St. John 1:12-13).
We must come to know that we can overcome all things because
of what Jesus did by shedding His blood on the Cross through His death, burial,
and resurrection!!
Even after the resurrection, His work wasn’t completed yet:
●
John 20:17 Touch me not; for I am not yet ascended
to my Father. He hadn’t yet
made the blood deposit on the “mercy seat”.
●
John 20:22 He breathed on them, and saith unto
them, Receive ye the Holy Ghost.
At this point the deposit had been made on the mercy seat of the
Father, because in verse 22
when He breathed on the disciples, He was literally breathing the very “blood of God” into them]! Hebrews 12:24 And to Jesus the mediator of the new
covenant, and to the blood of sprinkling, that speaketh better things
than that of Abel.
●
Luke 10:19 I give unto you power to tread on serpents
and scorpions, and over all the power of the enemy: and nothing shall by any means hurt you.
Keep in mind - I can’t state it enough: As he is, so are we in this world! (1
John 4:17).
TO RETURN TO AND
BE IN THIS “WEALTHY PLACE”:
●
WE MUST BE IN CHRIST: 2 Corinthians 5:17 If
any man be in Christ, he is a new creature (creation): old things are
passed away; behold, all things are become
new.
TO BE IN CHRIST:
●
WE NEED A MIND TRANSFORMATION: Romans
12:2 Be ye transformed by the renewing of your mind (nous).
Renewing - anaka’inosis - meaning renovation; to restore; repair; freshen; purify. We must put
off the old way of thinking: “one of these days, when Jesus comes back”, and put on the new mind that says: “He is already here because He is in me”! “I
am an overcomer right now”! “I don’t
have to die to go see Him; I see Him right now in the brethren (male & female)
and when I look in the mirror!”
●
Have Christ’s MIND:
1 Corinthians 2:16 But
we have the mind of Christ.
●
Philippians 2:5 Let this mind be in you, which was
also in Christ Jesus: who, being in
the form of God, thought it not robbery to be equal with God.
Jesus did not feel that it was robbery to think Himself
equal with God because He knew that He was God – or
He knew that He and His Father were one!
●
John 14:8-11 Philip
saith unto him, Lord, shew us the Father, and it suffices us. Jesus saith
unto him, Have I been so long time with you, and yet hast thou not known me,
Philip? He that hath seen me hath seen
the Father; and how sayest thou then, Shew us the
Father? Believest thou not that I am
in the Father, and the Father in me? The
words that I speak unto you I
speak not of myself: but the
Father that dwelleth in me, he doeth the works. Believe me that I am in the Father, and
the Father in me: or else believe me for the very works’
sake.
With this truth,
now you can see why Jesus didn’t start His ministry until He was thirty. He didn’t start
His ministry at eighteen or twenty five raising the dead
and doing all kinds of miracles. And I’m
sure
there were deaths in Israel, Palestine, etc. And I’m sure He had compassion for people as
He was
growing into maturity.
But at this point He was only seeing Himself as Father and Son!
John 14:10 He said, of myself (as a man) I can do nothing; it has to be the Father doing the work.
He knew that as long as He was a “Son”, He could do nothing and He would have to keep
looking to
the Father. But when He recognized the truth of
Himself that He was not just a Son
of the Father,
but the Father and Him
are become one or they were two made one He sees Himself in a new
light!
He sees His
possibilities! He sees what He can do! He
sees that He can change the
elements and turn water into wine; even the wind and the seas obey Him!
When Jesus read the bible, He didn’t see “truth”
in the bible; He saw it in
Himself? He saw
Himself as Truth!
He didn’t see
life in the Bible, He saw Himself as life! If you have life you can lose it, but if you
are life, you can’t lose it, you can’t die, because you “are life”!
●
John 14:6 I am the way, the truth, and the life!
TO BE IN CHRIST:
●
WE MUST HAVE “KNOWLEDGE”: Because without it,
one can and will die!
●
Hosea 4:6 My people are destroyed for lack of
knowledge.
●
John 17:3 And this is life eternal, that they might know
thee the only true God, and Jesus Christ, whom thou hast sent.
●
Philippians 3:10 That I
might “know him”, and the power of his resurrection.
We must know something to live! We must come to know that God the Father,
Jesus Christ the Son, the Holy Ghost, and we the body of Christ (the church)
are “ONE”!!
●
Romans 12:4-5 For as we have many members in one body, and
all members have not the same office: so
we, being many, are one body in Christ, and every one members one of another.
●
1 Corinthians 12:12 For as the body is one, and hath many
members, and all the members of that one body, being many, are one body: so also is Christ.
●
Galatians 3:27-28 For as many of you as have been baptized
into Christ have put on Christ. There is
neither Jew nor Greek (Gentile), there is neither bond nor
free, there is neither male nor female: for
ye are all one in Christ Jesus.
When Jesus came here as Mary’s baby it was - Father and Son. But when He (Jesus) in His
consciousness came into the
revelation of who He was, it was
no more two, “Father and Son” as
separate entities, but “Father and Son made one new man”.
We must come into full discernment of who He is in us and
who we are in Him as “ONE”!
Through Jesus’ ministry and teaching He said, “I am
the Son of God”, but the time came when He
didn’t say “I am the Son of God”, He didn’t say “My Father and I”.
●
John 5:16-29 (Jesus witnesses to the Father)! Verse
19 Jesus said unto them, Verily,
verily, I say unto you, The Son can do nothing of himself, but what he
seeth the Father do: for
what things soever he doeth, these also doeth the
Son likewise.
●
John 5:30-47 The Father witnesses to the Son (how He had sent
Him)
●
Matthew 3:17 And
lo a voice from heaven, saying, This
is my beloved Son, in whom I
am well pleased.
John 14:8-10 Jesus
lets them know that: I am in the Father, and the
Father is in me. They were one!
So here we see Father
and Son, and this is as far
as the church (religious system) goes with that today –
“I am a Son of God”. Yes, most will
admit at least to that.
●
Galatians 4:7 Wherefore thou art no more a servant, but
a son; and if a son, then an heir of God through Christ.
The church is willing to accept the fact that they are “the sons of God”. As long as you are saying
that “you are a son of God”, no one will
criticize you. But when you come out
with the truth of the
fullness of the matter and say as Jesus said, John 10:30 I and my Father are one, the religious
church system (or the traditional
churches) will stone you too!
The mystery of the
gospel is: “THAT IN ORDER FOR GOD TO HELP MAN, HE
HAD TO BECOME WHAT MAN IS AND THAT’S FLESH”!!! But He
(God) yet retained and maintained His identity as THE SPIRIT GOD!! It’s
truly God becoming who you are, and you becoming who God is!!
The “WEALTHY PLACE” is when we stand up and be God in the earth
as He has ordained it to be!!!
