Seeking Jesus First Nov. 14, 2024
Between Heaven and Earth
When Christ Jesus walked the earth, He stood as the translation of God’s will and plan, and even as the physical manifestation of God Himself. When He ascended to heaven, He declared that we are the body of Christ in the earth with the same Spirit of Christ and the mind of Christ. As the body of Christ, we stand in that place between heaven and earth, with Christ as The Head of The Body.
“Now you are the body of Christ, and members individually.” (1 Corinthians 12:27, NKJV)
Ephesians 5:25 -32 (excerpts) “…Christ also loved the church and gave Himself for her, that He might sanctify and cleanse her with the washing of water by the word, that He might present her to Himself a glorious church, not having spot or wrinkle or any such thing, but that she should be holy and without blemish…” “For we are members of His body, of His flesh and of His bones. “For this reason a man shall leave his father and mother and be joined to his wife, and the two shall become one flesh.” This is a great mystery, but I speak concerning Christ and the church.”
We stand on earth as the body of Christ. We translate heaven and extend heaven’s culture and kingdom in the earth. Because we are connected to Christ as the head of the body, we hear His voice, we love His word, we obey His commands.
Therefore, the body of Christ, the church, has access to every spiritual blessing in the heavenly places where we are seated with Christ in the spirit at The Father’s right hand. We live by every word of God. Through submission to Christ, we are able to do the works of Christ in the earth. We are spiritual beings who have been given God’s Holy Spirit. We are dead to sin and alive to righteousness. We are the ones translating and manifesting heaven in the earth.
We are the recipients and trustees of salvation, spirit, soul and body. We have the privilege of accessing The Will and Testament of Christ on our own behalf and on behalf of others. With The Holy Spirit as our teacher and Jesus as our advocate, we have access to The Heavenly Irrevocable Trust Agreement in which “all of the promises of God are Yes and Amen.” Keep His words in your mouth, Meditate in them day and night so that you can observe an do them. Then you will make your way prosperous and successful.
