Activity Verses Relationship

For over 2000 years Christians have been doing a lot of things in the name of Jesus and some maybe most of it had nothing to do with Jesus. Our priorities and activities may need to be re-evaluated from time to time. Most of us have been told somewhere in our journey to eat from the wrong tree (this is good/this is bad) We have been told that it is all about doing instead of being. If I try to be a better person and always do the right thing, God would be pleased. Now there is nothing wrong with trying to be a better person, however it must be in the right order. I got the cart before the horse. A relationship with the Lord must come first, to obtain the proper outcome.

Mat 6:33

“But first and most importantly seek (aim at, strive after) His kingdom and His righteousness [His way of doing and being right—the attitude and character of God], and all these things will be given to you also.

Seek first his kingdom or his realm, which is within. The spiritual realm is beyond the natural. We are not seeking a natural kingdom out there somewhere; we are seeking a spiritual realm where the father dwells and that realm is inside of us. What is this spiritual realm?

It’s a higher realm of consciousness built in accordance with the Christ mind or Christ consciousness. The realm of Spirit is wherever God is working to express Himself. When man becomes the perfect image and likeness of God, no other realm will appear to have been.
There is a huge difference between dead works and God works and James is referring to God works. Many times, we are told to do this and that in order to please God. We must discern between what man says and what God says. Sometimes it is the same but sometimes it is not the same. That is where relationship must enter in. If we are in relation with someone, we know that person very well. We know their likes and dislikes. The Bible is a great guide; however it can be misinterpreted. When we know God’s voice there is no chance to misinterpret that beautiful small still voice of the Father.

Restoration of All Things

Act 3:21
“whom heaven must receive until the times of restoration of all things, which God has spoken by the mouth of all His holy prophets since the world began.

Restitution--The resurrection of man to the divine image and likeness in mind and body and to the dominion that has been his from the beginning.

Restitution means restoration of reconstitution. Something has been lost. What was lost? When was it lost and how shall it be restored? The restoration that the Bible is referring to requires us to go back even farther than Eden. Peter spoke to the crowds in the 3rd chapter in the book of Acts.

Here is an interesting thought, If the prophets of old spoke about this great restoration, we must realize that this restoration goes back beyond any of their prophecies, beyond the foundations of the cosmos and beyond the first moment of time. We can’t look at this in a natural, physical realm. So we can’t look at this restoration as something Adam lost, but something God lost. God didn’t misplace and lose his keys. Jesus came to seek and save what was lost. Luke 19:10. Christ came to save not just he who was lost, but the thing that was lost. We are not being restored to Adam, we are being restored to Christ, where we hold out true identity, where there is no beginning and will be no end.

Awareness of Our Oneness – Unity in Christ pt 2

We are going to start off the broadcast today with a quote from Richard Rohr,

True spirituality is not a search for perfection or control or the door to the next world rather it is a search for divine union now.

It is not about building bigger buildings or trying to be a good person, it is about relationship first with God and second with each other. It is about oneness and unity.

Why is this topic so controversial? Madam Jean Guyon was place in a French prison for writing a book on union with God. It is nearly impossible to believe with the natural mind that we can be in union with the almighty. This must be received with the Christ mind that has already been given to you. Eyes that can see beyond the natural. Ears that can hear into the spiritual realm. Stop seeking without what you already have within. Seek God in your heart and you will find him.

Eph 4

13 Till we all come in the unity of the faith, and of the knowledge of the Son of God, unto a perfect man, unto the measure of the stature of the fulness of Christ:

14 So that we are no longer children [spiritually immature], tossed back and forth [like ships on a stormy sea] and carried about by every wind of [shifting] doctrine, by the cunning and trickery of [unscrupulous] men, by the deceitful scheming of people ready to do anything [for personal profit].

15 Instead, speaking the truth in love, we will grow to become in every respect the mature body of him who is the head, that is, Christ. 16 From him the whole body, joined and held together by every supporting ligament, grows and builds itself up in love, as each part does its work.

Church leaders’ number one job should be to lead folks to a personal relationship with the Lord. Nothing is more important than that.
