Message:

Greetings and thanksgiving

“Beloved, grace be to you and peace from God the Father, and from the Lord Jesus Christ, who gave himself for our sins, that He might deliver us from this present evil world, according to the will of God and our Father,” to whom be glory for ever and ever. Amen. [Galatians 1: 3-5]

I thank Yahweh our merciful and gracious heavenly Father, for the privilege of sharing yet another inspired message with us, that is, on your device. The Gospel I present to you is not new, but it is the same Gospel preached by Peter and the rest of the Apostles who walked with Jesus; and by Paul, who was made an Apostle by Jesus Christ and God the Father, who raised Christ from the dead.” [Galatians 1: 1]

Thus the true Gospel is about Jesus the Christ the Son of God, that we might know Yahweh the only true God, and Jesus Christ, whom He has sent, —the same is Jesus’ definition of Eternal life.  [John 17:3]

God the Father’s Revelation through Peter, and His proof of who Jesus really is

As it was in the first century, when the doubters and the confused who followed them said that Jesus the Christ was John the Baptist, and another set said that He was Elijah, while others said that He was Jeremiah, or one of the prophets: so it is in the twenty first century today with those who say that Jesus the Christ is: God the Father, or a prophet only, or some negative thing.

Interestingly, Jesus the Christ, when He went into the Coast of Caesarea, Philippi, asked His Disciples saying: “But whom say ye that I the am?” And Simon Peter answered and said, “Thou art the Christ, the Son of the Living God.” [Matthew 16:15-16]

Beloved, Jesus’ response to Simon Peter was, “Blessed art thou Simon Bar-jona; for flesh and blood hath not revealed it unto thee, but my Father which is in heaven.” [Matthew 16:17]

And Jesus who always spoke about His heavenly Father, who sent Him, never gave His Disciples or any one the impression that He was God the Father. As a matter of fact, in his conversation with His Disciples, He made it abundantly clear to them that, “In His Father’s house are many mansions,” and that He was going to prepare a place for them and would return and receive them unto Himself. Subsequently, He said to them, “And whither I go ye know, and the way ye know.” [John 14:1-4] But, Thomas spoke on behalf of the Disciples when he said to Jesus, “We know (understand) not whither thou goest, and how can we know the way? [John 14: 5] In His response to Thomas’ searching question, Jesus answered his last question first and made them to understand that He is the way to the Father, when He said to them, “I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me.” If ye had known me, ye should have known my Father also: and from henceforth ye know Him, and have seen Him.” [John 14: 6-7]

Question: If Jesus the Christ were the Father Himself would he have said, “… No man cometh unto the Father but by me?”

The impact of Jesus’ statement on Philip

 The impact of Jesus’ statement on Philip was evident since it aroused his curiosity and further challenged Jesus to show them the Father when he said to Him, “Lord, show us the Father and it sufficeth (will satisfy) us.” [John 14: 8] After chiding Philip personally about being so long with Him and yet did not know (understand) Him, Jesus asked him a soul searching question:

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.” [John 14:10]

It is incumbent that by faith each believer from the heart believes and UNDERSTANDS Jesus Christ’s declaration which says, “I am in the Father: and the Father in me.” And for those who must see the Father to believe, may see Him through the very works He did through Jesus Christ, His Son.

A related scriptural fact

A related scriptural fact outside the circle of Christ and His disciples that is important to note is Nicodemus’ conversation with Jesus the Christ. Impressed by the works of Jesus , Nicodemus a Pharisee and ruler of the Jews, went to Him and confessed that the Pharisees knew that He was a teacher, who came from God the Father, and that no man could do those miracles except God be with Him. (Those miracles reflected the kingdom of God and its power and authority, but by only knowing that God the heavenly Father was with Jesus doing the miracles was not enough.) So Jesus said to Nicodemus:

“Except a man be born again he cannot see (recognize) the kingdom of God.” [John 3:3 &5]

Again,

“Except a man be born of water and of the Spirit, he cannot enter into the kingdom of God.” [John 3: 5]

Beloved, it is abundantly clear that one cannot recognize the kingdom of God in the light of the New Testament unless he/she is born again, or experiences a New Birth by faith in Christ, let alone to enter personally therein. When one is born again he sees or understands God the Father, and Jesus the Christ, whom He has sent, even as he/she reads and studies the pure Word prayerfully. Also he/she comes to know that Christ Jesus is not the Father, but instead, the Father is in Christ and vice versa. [John 14: 10; 17: 21] Besides, the Believer experiences the Father personally, since the works of the heavenly Father is manifested in the Believer’s works according to the will and purpose of God for his/her life. For example, as for me, I personally put in writing what the heavenly Father shows me in visions, or inspires me to write, and this is only possible through Christ Jesus, who dwells within me. You see, the Spirit of God communicates with me through my spirit: and I share these inspired messages with us on this website.  Blessed be the name of Yahweh. Beloved, there is no limit to what a believer in Christ can do through Him; it is beyond the sky. Paul attest to this truth in Philippians 4:13 which says, “I can do all things through Christ who strengtheneth me.”

And remember what Jesus the Christ said:

“… He that believeth on me, the works that I do shall he do also; and greater works than these shall he do, because I go to my Father.” [John 14:12]

Beloved, believe the scriptures! Stand upon the Word of God and its promises, and liberate yourself by faith from all bondage and the present spirit of confusion that teaches Jesus Christ is God the Father, and other teachings that are not in line with the Word! Know, and make known to others that Yahweh our heavenly Father is distinct from Christ His Son—the Word made flesh.”

Without controversy

The scriptures made it abundantly clear that without controversy great is the mystery of godliness — the godly life was revealed in the flesh of Jesus the Christ. (“The Word was made flesh and dwelt among us and we beheld His glory, the glory as of the only begotten of the Father, full of grace and truth” John 1: 14, 1 John 1: 1-2) And Jesus’ spotless life was confirmed by the Spirit. Angels visited and even ministered unto Him. He (Jesus the Christ) was preached unto the Gentiles and was believed on in the world, and received up into glory.” [1 Timothy 3: 16]

Believe: “… God was in Christ, (the body of Jesus) reconciling the world unto Himself ….” [11 Corinthians 5:19]

Finally, let us live the Word by example:

“Beloved, let us love one another: for love is of God; and everyone that loveth is born of God, and knoweth God. He that loveth not knoweth not God, for God is love. In this is manifested the love of God toward us,    because that God sent His only begotten Son into the world, that we might live through Him. Herein is love, not that we loved God, but that He loved us and sent His Son to be the propitiation for our sins. Beloved, if God so loved us, we ought also to love one another. No man hath seen God at any time. If we love one another, God dwelleth in us, and his love is perfected in us. Hereby we know that we dwell in Him, and He is in us because He hath given us of His Spirit. And we have seen and do testify that the Father sent the Son to be the Savior of the world. Whosoever shall confess that Jesus Christ is the Son of God, God dwelleth in Him, and he in God. [1 John 4:7-16]

Pray without ceasing 

Let us pray for a worldwide rebirth of the true Gospel of Jesus to be preached and lived among us, who share a common salvation, this Twenty First Century, in Jesus’ name. Amen.

Beloved, let us earnestly contend for the faith which was once delivered unto the saints! [Jude verse 3]

Message

Introduction and truths that will save you and make you soar in Christ as an eagle in the sky

Beloved, I thank Yahweh the Most High and Supreme Ruler of heaven and earth for the privilege of bringing you another inspired Gospel Message according to the Word of God, and fresh from His throne. It is Part 2 of my previous message on the topic:

Reviving the Culture and Belief of “Bearing the Image of the Heavenly when Christ shall appear;”showing its relevance through the inspired Word!!! (Part 2) —by Pastor: Elder Wilfred A. Wilson    Guy #3: 06:01

Beloved, in spite of: your religious persuasion, or family tradition, or neutral position, or any other, consider these spiritual truths that will help you soar as an eagle in the sky, even as you let the pure Gospel of Jesus Christ take you to the highest level of spiritual consciousness where you may soar in Him, not in this life only, but throughout eternity.

Now by simply faith believing and applying the Gospel Message from the pure Word of God to your life, you will establish and maintain a right relationship with our heavenly Father the Highest, through Christ His Son, and mean it.

The Gospel of Jesus Christ which is delivered unto you through this post is empowered by the Holy Spirit. And it (the Gospel) is defined as, “The power of God unto salvation to everyone who believes….” [Romans 1:16-17] Thus when one hears the Gospel, repents of his sins, and by faith accepts Christ as His personal Savior and Lord, he/she is saved from sin, the power of sin over his/her life, and the penalty of sin which is death. [Romans 6: 23] By death I mean in the sense that one is cut off from the life of God, which is everlasting. So it is necessary that one invites Christ into his/her life, if he/she wants to live and “Bear the Image of the Heavenly” when Christ shall appear. [1 Corinthians 15: 49; 1 John 3: 2]

What changes to expect by adhering to the Gospel of Jesus Christ

Consider what the Gospel of Jesus Christ does for anyone who believes! It saves him, and through it he establishes and maintains a right relationship with the heavenly Father the Highest, through Christ His Son: and, even if he/she were “nobody” in man’s sight, he/she becomes somebody in Christ, and stands guiltless in Yahweh’s sight. It gives him/her spiritual strength and confidence by reading and studying the Word prayerfully on a daily basis, as well as faith and hope, builds character in him/her such that his/her integrity is unquestionable, restores his/her love of God and gives him/her the blessed assurance that, “AS we have borne the image of the earthy”: all who believe “shall also bear the image of the heavenly,” when Christ shall appear. [1 Corinthians 15: 49]

Having the Spirit of God that raised up Christ from the dead is critical to one’s resurrection to life

To bear the image of the heavenly the believer’s physically dead body has to be resurrected, or restored to live by the power of the Spirit of God that raised Christ from the dead. Receive these truths in your spirit. It is written:

“… But ye are not in the flesh, but in the Spirit, if so be that the Spirit of God dwell in you, if so that the spirit of God is in you. Now if any man has not the Spirit of Christ, he is none of His. And if Christ be in you, the body is dead because of sin; but the Spirit is life because of righteousness. But if the Spirit of Him that rasied up Jesus from the dead dwell in you, He that raised up Christ from the dead shall also quicken your mortal bodies, by His Spirit that dwelleth in you. [Romans 8: 9-11]

“God has given every grain its own body as it has pleased Him: and to every seed its own body, according to the scriptures.”[1 Cor. 15: 38] For example: wheat, paddy, a mango seed, or an apple seed just to mention a few. Still not convinced! You may examine seeds of other plants that you may know about. Similarly when the corruptible seed (sperms) of the man is sown into the womb of the woman, God gives it its own body.

Concerning the quickening of our “Bodies”

Concerning the term “bodies,” all flesh is not the same flesh, for example, the flesh of man differs from that of: beasts, fishes and birds. Likewise heavenly bodies differ from earthly ones, as well as their glory. [1 Corinthians 15: 39-40]

The bodies of Believers, that are brought in line with the Word of God which is the Incorruptible Seed, undergo an inner transformation due to the fact that the indwelling Christ works on the inside. And if Christ dwells within the Believer; it means then that the inner man who cried out to Yahweh the Most High for mercy has been pardoned. As a result, the Believer’s spirit will live on because of righteousness. But the body, however, will die at its appointed time because of sin. It is written, “It is appointed unto men once to die, but after this the judgment.” [Hebrews 9: 27]

Beloved, according to the Gospel of Jesus Christ, if the Spirit of Him that raised up Jesus Christ from the dead dwells in us (Believers) individually and collectively, He that raised up Christ from the dead shall also quicken (make alive) our mortal bodies by His Spirit which dwelleth within us. [Romans 8:11] So the key to the bodily resurrection unto life everlasting is to have “the Spirit of God that raised up Jesus Christ from the dead dwelling in our individual physical bodies during our lifetime on earth. Amen!!!

 And to satisfy one’s curiosity concerning the questions: how are the dead raised up? and with what body do they come? a parallel is made to a seed which one sows. It is written:

 “That which thou sowest is not quickened, except it dies. And that which thou sowest, thou sowest not that body that shall be, but bare grain, it may be chance of wheat, or of some other grain. But God giveth it a body as it hath pleased Him, and to every seed its own body.” [1 Corinthians 15: 37-38]

Beloved, do you know that the physically dead body of the faithful Believer, who is asleep in Christ,  shall be miraculously resurrected and changed by the power of the Spirit of God into an immortal body that pleases Yahweh.  Do read the following aloud for yourself. It is written:

“So also is the resurrection of the dead. It is sown in corruption; it is raised in incorruption: … it is sown a natural body; it is raised a spiritual body.” [1 Corinthians 15: 42 & 44]

Again,

“And as we have borne the image of the earthly, we shall bear the image of the heavenly.” [1 Corinthians 15: 49; Genesis 5:3; 1 John 3:2]

Beloved, with this hope in Christ, who is heavenly, “we shall bear the image of the heavenly.” Let us purify ourselves, even as He is pure, in Jesus’ name. It is written, “And every man that hath this hope in Him purifieth himself, even as He is pure.” [1 John 3: 3]

Finally, Beloved, the Culture of bearing the image of the heavenly is associated with the Gospel of Jesus the Christ, (who initiated it in A.D. 33-34 when He became “the firstfruits of them that slept…,”) which we believers have received, and wherein we stand. It should be kept in memory. And one should have no qualms taking up the challenge to embrace and revive it (the culture), starting with himself/herself unless he/she has believed the Gospel of Christ in vain. May Yahweh richly bless you.

Consider the following benefits of teaching and practicing the Culture and Belief of: “Bearing the image of the heavenly,” as part of the Gospel of Jesus Christ

Putting into practice the culture and belief of “Bearing the image of the heavenly” as taught and passed down to us by the Saints of first Century Church, has the potential to ignite and cause its flames to spread across all Nations worldwide bringing about inward change in them. And such Changes when accomplished on such a global scale, would revolutionize lives, and subsequently, bring about hope, positive social, economic and spiritual changes that would help affect true world peace, reverse Climate Change, control the ills in our Societies Globally, create a better Eco-friendly and healthier environment in our separate worlds where we can work and  live comfortably together; while we keep ourselves pure, even as we look forward to “Bearing the image of the heavenly.”

Let us give thanks and praise to Yahweh our heavenly Father and the Most High. Thank you our heavenly Father.  Hallelujaaaaaaah!!!

Beloved, let us earnestly contend for the faith which was once delivered unto the saints!

Well, our time is up!

Well, our time is up. It was a pleasure sharing with you spiritual things on Moment of Inner Change. See you at our next WINL Coffee/Juice Break Chat, with Redeeming Luv. May God richly bless you. Shalom.

Wilson    Guy #3: 06:01    Message Scriptural Facts Beloved, unlike most in the body of Christ today, the Saints of First Century Church lived daily: with the fear of God in their hearts due to prosecution; in spreading the pure Gospel of Jesus Christ and most of all with the spirit of expectancy that Christ would return at any moment. Besides, they were passionate about Christ’s return, when their mortal bodies shall have been changed into immortal ones, and, thus, shall have borne “the image of the heavenly. Jesus the Resurrection and the Life And the Saints of the early church, who were eye witnesses to the miracles that Jesus the Christ did, had absolutely no reason to doubt that Christ was who He said He was when He declared: “I am the resurrection and the life: he that believeth in me though he were dead yet shall he live, and whosoever liveth and believeth in me shall never die.” [John 11: 25-26] Beloved, subsequent to the above mentioned declaration, [John 11: 25-26] Jesus the Christ demonstrated His faith in God His heavenly Father, for a miracle of resurrection when He was taken to the spot where they had laid Lazarus, of Bethany. And according to the scripture, upon Christ’s request they took away the stone from the place where the dead was laid. And Jesus lifted up His eyes, and said: “Father, I thank thee for thou hast heard me always: but because of the people which stand by, I said it that they might believe that thou hast sent me.”[John 11:42]” And when He thus had spoken, He cried with aloud voice, “Lazarus, come forth.” [John 11: 43] And he that was dead came forth bound hand and foot with grave clothes: and his face was bound about with a napkin. Jesus said unto them, “Loose him and let him go.”[John 11: 44] But as it was in the first century, the sign of this our apostatized generation in these last days today is still the resurrection of the Son of man Jesus the Christ, which did occur over two thousand years ago: for as Jonah was a sign to the Ninevites, even so the Son of man was a sign to that evil generation of His day; and still is a sign to our current materialistic driven and corrupt generation today. [Luke 11: 29-30] It is a proven fact that the Son of man was crucified, buried and rose again the third day, that is to say, after having been three days and three nights i.e., seventy two (72) full hours “in the heart of the earth.” [Matthew 12: 39-40] Honestly, if you are in any doubt about this, read about the experiences of those soldiers/keepers, in Matthew 28: 1-15, who had guarded the tomb in which His body was laid. Our Hope The resurrection of Jesus the Christ, my Beloved, is the hope of all who believe! And our hope in Christ is not in this life only, lest “we are of all men most miserable,” but it goes beyond the grave. [1 Corinthians 15: 19] And this is a fundamental teaching of the Gospel of Jesus Christ that was once delivered unto the saints. In his letter to the Church of Corinth, Paul the Apostle, shed much light on the resurrection of Christ, followed by a series of eye witnesses including Paul himself. Please turn you Bible to 1 Corinthians 15 and read from verses 1-8. I thank you kindly. In his address to the Church at Corinth, Paul did not only define the Gospel of Jesus the Christ, simply and clearly for them to understand, but also stated their collective stance based on it (the Gospel) when he wrote: The True Gospel of Christ “Moreover, Brethren, I declare unto you the Gospel which I preached unto you, which also ye have received, and wherein ye stand; by which ye are saved if ye keep in memory what I preached unto you, unless you have believed in vain. For I delivered unto you first of all:

  • That which I also received, how that Christ died for our sins according to the scriptures
  • That He was buried, and
  • That He rose again according the scriptures.

Second, he mentioned the many witnesses who saw the risen Lord, among those were Peter, the twelve disciples,  the five hundred brethren at once, then James, then of all the Apostles, and last Paul the Apostle himself. Giving the Female Witnesses  Due Credit But it is equally important and right that we give credit also to the women who first saw the risen Lord Jesus before any of the above mentioned, namely, Mary Magdalene, and Mary the Mother of James the less and of Jose and Salome, who ministered unto Jesus  when He was in Galilee. Please read Matthew 28:1-10; Mark 15: 40-41, 16: 1-13; Luke 23: 55-56, & 24: 1-12; John 21: 13-18] Please read these scriptures for yourself. The Unsound Anti-resurrection Belief Questioned Third, in spite of the event of the resurrection of Jesus the Christ which took place in Jerusalem in A.D. 33-34, [Matthew 28: 1-10, and which was supported by a barrage of witnesses who testified that they had seen the risen Lord Jesus; there were some in the midst of the early Church, who did not believe in the resurrection of the dead.  And Paul questioned that untruth when he wrote: “Now if Christ be preached that He rose from the dead, how say some among you that there is no resurrection of the dead?” [1Corinthians 15:12] And he reasoned that: “If there be no resurrection of the dead then Christ is not risen: and if Christ be not risen, then is our preaching vain and your faith is also vain. Ye and we are found false witnesses of the God because we have testified of God that He raised up Christ: whom He raised not up if so be that the dead rise not. For if the dead rise not, then is Christ not raised: and if Christ be not raised your faith is in vain and ye are yet in your sins. Then they also which are fallen asleep in Christ are perished. If in this life only we have hope in Christ: we are all men most miserable. [1 Corinthians 15: 12-19] So Paul had totally rejected the above mentioned belief and heresy that, “there is no resurrection of the dead,” and, instead, reassured the faith of the Believers in Christ at Corinth as he reestablished the following rational: “But now is Christ risen from the dead, and become the first fruits of them that slept.”[1 Corinthians 15: 20] Beloved, the Culture of Bearing the Image of the Heavenly has its origin in Christ, who led the way and became the first fruits of them that slept: then happily following Him by the grace of God, are all believers in Christ worldwide, who by faith in Him, endure to the end.   Beloved, we stop at this high point for today, so this brings us to the end of part one of the topic: Reviving the Culture and belief of “Bearing the Image of the Heavenly when Christ shall have appeared;”showing its relevance through the inspired Word to fulfill God’s will and purpose for us now in this present world and in the renewed earth to come!!! Let us give thanks and praise to Yahweh our heavenly Father and the Most High. Thank you our heavenly Father.  Hallelujaaaaaaah!!! NB: Part two to be continued at our next Chat!
