JESUS demonstrates Oneness of relationship!
JESUS shows us what it looked like to be seeing and perceiving; Hearing and understanding; and ultimately Joining ABBA. He demonstrates what it means to be “One” in desire and will, empowered by the Holy Spirit. He knows what it means to be a “Be-loved Son” meaning: “I Am-loved Son!”
ABBA-Father in heaven, begins making manifest to Jesus His Divine will. The Kingdom of God, on earth. He begins to made manifest His will through revelation and power of His Manifest Presence, in His Son. Jesus is immersed in Holy Spirit Presence-like a Dove, begins moving in the most beautiful demonstration of the Peace of God on earth, toward men!
Adam was created in the Image of God! He had direct communion with God! There was no shame and fear, it was perfect love. Their relationship is so sublimely put from Genesis 38 “…they heard the sound of the Lord God walking in the garden in the cool of the day, …” What a beautiful picture of tranquility felt in their relationship.
Here they are in the His Image, living in what they were created for, this is why Adam was created: Fellowship with GOD. Adam was, at one, in their unique likeness of character, beauty, sinlessness, and tranquility of nature! The Oneness of Adam is demonstrated in the separation of two identities from one, into two distinct images of man: Male and Female. Both are designed to Harmonize into Oneness. God is able to separate as the Bibles says, the thoughts and intents of the heart! They were not hacked apart as with a machete, or chainsaw, causing both somehow to be enmeshed and mashed at the edges causing a ‘gray” area of identity? Whatever else was to come, is result of sin, brokenness and offenses of sin itself, and contempt or anger at God. This we have all experienced in one way or another!
26 Then God said, “Let Us make man in Our image, according to Our likeness; let them have dominion over the fish of the sea, over the birds of the air, and over the cattle, over all the earth and over every creeping thing that creeps on the earth.” 27 So God created man in His own image; in the image of God He created him; male and female He created them. 28 Then God blessed them, and God said to them, “Be fruitful and multiply; fill the earth and subdue it; have dominion over the fish of the sea, over the birds of the air, and over every living thing that moves on the earth.” Genesis 1.
Here is a description of beautiful bonded relationships:
23 And Adam said: “This is now bone of my bones and flesh of my flesh; She shall be called Woman, because she was taken out of Man.” 24 Therefore a man shall leave his father and mother and be joined to his wife, and they shall become one flesh. 25 And they were both naked, the man and his wife, and were not ashamed. Genesis 2.
The bonds of beauty and tranquility are broken due to sin itself, fracturing this scene! How true that is for every relationship today! Pain in relationships are due to mutual sin of both man and woman, and children being made after their parent’s sinful brokenness, which is not in the image of God. Parents now pass-on through unrepentant will, or ignorance, their broken selves. Bible says: “All have sinned and fall short of the glory of God!” Romans 2:23.
“…(And) Adam and his wife hid themselves from the presence of the Lord God among the trees of the garden.
9 Then the Lord God called to Adam and said to him, “Where are you?”
10 So he said, “I heard Your voice in the garden, and I was afraid because I was naked; and I hid myself.”
11 And He said, “Who told you that you were naked? Have you eaten from the tree of which I commanded you that you should not eat?” Geneses 3.
After this tragic turn of events, children who are born, are hereafter describe as in the image of Adam, after his likeness! In other words: children are fallen, sinners, like their parents, and out of communion with God! Said in other ways, men beget fallen men after their own nature! Broken and distant from God.
Hence, we must be Born Again into right relationship with God! It is only here that restoration of relationship occurs. (John 3)
Jesus said it so horrifically, saying of the religious leaders of those times, that their father was the devil! Why? Because they could not love, appreciate, nor recognize “God in the flesh, standing right before them.” They chose in their blindness to follow the one who said: “Crucify; Kill; We want Barabbas-a notorious killer of his day; Not Jesus!”
Those men began to take the truth of Jesus words and twist His meanings into lies. They accused Jesus of blasphemy and working miracles in the name of Beelzebub? The brutal reality, the religious leaders were seeking to “destroy” Jesus! That sounds like the devil! Jesus calls them sons of the devil, saying Satan is their father! Satan is the liar! The devil comes to steal, kill and destroy whatever it can of God’s creation and object of God’s Love-His sons and daughters! (John 10:9-10)
Now; “Be, Born Again” (John 3), to be restored in right relationship with God, and His Born Again-Family! Unless we each come as a child, we cannot enter the Kingdom of God! No self-righteousness; No high level of education or literacy can get us in. Only Pure: Truth-Jesus Himself!
Jesus is astonished at “unbelief!” (Mark 6:6). The very nature and universe declare the Glory of God! His Divine Fingerprints are from the expanse of the universe, to the earth in our very DNA! Yet, men, in their pride, show contempt for their Creator! But that is not enough for God to stop loving us!
“For GOD so loved the world, He gave His only begotten Son, that whosever believes in Him, should not perish, but have everlasting life. God did not send His Son into the world to condemn the world, but that the world might be saved!” John 3:16-17.
It is an all-encompassing love! Men blame and accuse God like He is the devil! And still Jesus extends amazing, gracious, merciful, faithful and beautiful love!
See-Jesus! We must activate contrition, appreciation, love, empowering faith and taking Him at His Word! Jesus has already demonstrated Who ABBA/Father is….so that we can know Him! Jesus said we would do greater things than Himself, IF we believe! John 14:12-14-Amazing!
Hear-Jesus! Understand by faith Who and What He has done for each of us! Whosoever will, may come! None are excluded: Whosoever-will! I cannot give you my faith; You must let Truth and Revelation Spring up within you! You must have your own encounter-I cannot give you mine! I can only tell you my journey and express my wonder and amazement! I can tell what I have seen and heard… that has kept me from age 6 to 66! Many times people have tried to defeat or destroy me, and I am brought low, but not crushed… I am, actually, astonished at others unbelief!
I cannot settle for traditions of men; A franchise; A cement structure called church!
I am part of The Body of Christ-The Church! Not made with cement-but built in the Holy Spirit within! IT is this Heart of God for the souls of men that unites all Brothers and Sisters, united in Christ Jesus, with One Father: ABBA!
As I travel the world, I meet Believers in Christ, and they are like long lost Brothers whom I have never met. But, because we have the same Holy Spirit within, it is as if we have known each other all our lives. This is a living God-breathed Family of Believers. We are engaged, growing up, and going on journey and adventure with ABBA!
Keep walking and running with the LORD! Move out, against all the obstacles and persecution of the religious, who squelch and quench the Holy Spirit with religious rules like: “No: Tongues; Prophecy; Signs, Wonders, Miracles; All the “Greater Things” Jesus promised all believers, to do like He did! Why not? Why stand against the Promises of Jesus, and call it greater faith, to not do them? That is astonishing; Even Jesus marvels at such unbelief!
In fact, it is the only time Jesus is amazed-marveling, when he sees unbelief in His disciples, after seeing signs, wonders, miracles! We are the same today:
5 Now He could do no mighty work there, except that He laid His hands on a few sick people and healed them. 6 And He marveled because of their unbelief. Then He went about the villages in a circuit, teaching. Mark 6.
10 Do you not believe that I am in the Father, and the Father in Me? The words that I speak to you I do not speak on My own authority; but the Father who dwells in Me does the works. 11 Believe Me that I am in the Father and the Father in Me, or else believe Me for the sake of the works themselves.
12 “Most assuredly, I say to you, he who believes in Me, the works that I do he will do also; and greater works than these he will do, because I go to My Father. 13 And whatever you ask in My name, that I will do, that the Father may be glorified in the Son. 14 If you ask anything in My name, I will do it. John 14.
From childhood until today my struggles are paying off, as I see others encountering and engaging Jesus Christ. If I only did what my leaders taught me, I could or would never have experienced all the signs, wonders, and miracles, I have witnessed in my life! It is not rebellion to Obey God! Understand and love what is true and trustworthy!
People are lost and grope in darkness without understanding, without Jesus Christ! They need restoration and redemption! What are the limits?
5 For Moses writes about the righteousness which is of the law, “The man who does those things shall live by them.” 6 But the righteousness of faith speaks in this way, “Do not say in your heart, ‘Who will ascend into heaven?’ ” (that is, to bring Christ down from above) 7 or, “ ‘Who will descend into the abyss?’ ” (that is, to bring Christ up from the dead).
8 But what does it say? “The word is near you, in your mouth and in your heart” (that is, the word of faith which we preach): 9 that if you confess with your mouth the Lord Jesus and believe in your heart that God has raised Him from the dead, you will be saved. 10 For with the heart one believes unto righteousness, and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation.11For the Scripture says, “Whoever believes on Him will not be put to shame.” 12 For there is no distinction between Jew and Greek, for the same Lord over all is rich to all who call upon Him. 13 For “whoever calls on the name of the Lord shall be saved.”
14 How then shall they call on Him in whom they have not believed? And how shall they believe in Him of whom they have not heard? And how shall they hear without a preacher? 15 And how shall they preach unless they are sent? As it is written: “How beautiful are the feet of those who preach the gospel of peace, Who bring glad tidings of good things!”
Romans 10.
Based on what you have seen and heard:
“ASK ME!”
