Understanding Our Inheritance - Part 1

Dearly Beloved,

-    There are some biblical understanding that Christians unconsciously plan to grasp when they get to heaven, one of which is our inheritance in God. Interestingly, understanding the world of angels and the role they play in our salvation sheds light  on this subject. (Heb. 1:14)

-     My mentor in the faith once said, ‘If you are not rooted in the knowledge of angels, you won’t know about your inheritance as they models of our inheritance. You would hardly understand Christ as you ought without it. Angels were ministers/representatives of the Lord before he came. They are the anointed ones (Eze 28:14) before The Anointed One (i.e. Christ) came.  

-        Angels are enjoying their inheritance in this present creation/world. Man would primarily enjoy his inheritance/reward in the world to come but mainly has the days of his sojourn in the flesh to prepare for it.

-     Mankind is currently being tried while angels have been tried and some of them kept their estate (i.e. remained under covering/authority) while others like Satan and his cohorts didn’t (Jude 1:6). Satan remains the ruler/prince of this world (Jn. 14:30), and we need to understand the realm of  angels to discern and beat him. The following is therefore a brief appraisal on angels.

-       There are angels of God’s footstool that handle earthly/carnal ministrations. Those that kept not their estate (Jude 1:6) and fell in this class of angels became demons which are lesser in fabric/ministry than all other angels. They are described as angels of the realm of the living soul (the realm of man) in Ps. 103:22. They specialize in deceiving and oppressing unbelievers and young believers. They toss young believers to and fro (Eph. 4:14) and promote doctrines of demon but are lesser than seducing spirits described in 1 Tim. 4:1. They can be cast out with the authority in the name of Jesus according to Mark 16:17

-       There are angels who handle a higher grade of spiritual things than angels of his footstool. While moving from the earth heaven wards, they are the angels of the outer court of heaven, angels of the first heaven. Those that kept their estate were called Principalities, Powers, Might & Dominion in Eph. 1:21 while Col. 1:16 called this same class of angels as Principalities, Powers, Thrones & Dominion. They are war-like in operation. Ps. 103:22 described them as dwellers in places of his dominion. Isa. 14:13 described them as ‘Stars of God’. Some out of them that were deceived by Satan were described as a part of our main enemy in Eph. 6:12 i.e. Principalities and Powers, here, in a fallen state. They specialize in ensuring believers don’t come into the arena of Spiritual Knowledge (i.e. Sonship)

-       There are angels who handle a higher grade of spiritual things than angels of the first heaven, i.e. than dwellers in the places of his dominion. They are the angels of holy place of heaven, angels of the second heaven. They are called Seraphs and in different places described as Hosts of Heaven, Sons of fire or Stones of fire. They make up the ‘mount of congregation’ described in Isa. 14:13. Ps. 103:21 described them as ministers of the Lord. Because of The Lord’s operations in their midst, He is called The Lord of Host = Isa. 6:3. Such was the angel encountered by Prophet Isaiah in Isa. 6. They burn and are not given a face like Cherubs to behold God and therefore use their wings to veil their face = Isa. 6:2. They are part of the class of angels with names (spiritual operations) that Apostle Paul compared the Lord Jesus with after resurrection by stating ‘… every name that is named’ in Eph. 1:21. Because the holy place makes up part of the tabernacle (Heb. 9) where Seraphim’s minister with the oracles of God, Seraphs are part of the company of angels Paul was referring to in Heb. 1:4 when he compared this class of angels with Christ by saying ‘…the Lord was made so much better than the angels, as he hath by inheritance obtained a more excellent name than ‘they’ (i.e. Seraphs and Cherubs). Eph. 6:12 described those that fell out of them as rulers of the darkness of this world and spiritual wickedness in high places. Like priests of the holy place, their loins are girded and are partially clothed (Dan. 10:5-6). They limit potential sons from becoming established in Spiritual Knowledge, in their Priestly calling. Their operations can’t be cast out like Mark 16:17 counsels, but rather, a believer must WRESTLE with them by WALKING AGAINST THEIR COURSE, WALKING EXTENSIVELY IN THE SPIRIT (Eph. 6:12/2:2)

-       There are angels who handle the most superior grade of spiritual things in the heavenly realm, higher than angels of the second heaven in make. They are the angels of the third heaven, the most holy place. They are called Cherubs and in different places, they are described as Sons of the morning, Sons of the beginning = Isa. 14:12/Job 38:7. Ps. 103:20 confirmed them as angels that excel in strength, that can represent and act as a witness or ambassador of the Lord. They glow and shine are therefore called Cherubs of Glory = Heb. 9:5. John the Baptist was described as a shining light because of the prophetic nature of a cherub that he engaged while witnessing about the Lord. Satan was a Cherub who had a height/light advantage. He was decked with precious stones with which he ministered light/knowledge unto seraphs (Eze. 28:13-14) before he fell. Cherubs are equipped with eyes within and without and are endowed with a face to administer spiritually inclined blessings (Jer. 1:18/Exo. 25:20/Eze. 28:14). Satan later used and still uses his face to curse/limit nations (i.e. limit souls) since he fell = Isa. 25:7/Rev. 22:3/Rev.12:14. Like the high priest that ministers in the most holy place, Cherubs are always clothed with a garment down to the foot, and girt themselves about with a golden girdle. Most angels in operations in the Book of Revelation were Cherubs, including those who spoke like the Lord would have personally did i.e. Rev. 1:13 e.t.c. The ministry of the face of Christ (the hidden wisdom of Christ – 1Cor.2:7) is the only antidote to the ministry of his face, which is the operation of a high wisdom. Any believer that comes into the arena of knowledge (i.e. Sonship) and desires to inherit the throne would have to go through the tough hurdle of overcoming Satan’s wiles (i.e. overcome the stature of his perverted spiritual wisdom – Eze.28:12/17) by walking against their course which is synonymous to wrestling with them. Completing this warfare syllabus is the litmus test before all heavens and before the Godhead that a believer has attained the status is an overcomer and is superior to angels/has laid hold of eternal life. Seraphs as earlier explained and also Cherubs are the only grade of angels that Apostle Paul was referring to in Heb. 1:4 when he compared Angels with Christ by saying ‘…the Lord was made so much better than the angels, as he hath by inheritance obtained a more excellent name than ‘they’. The process of terminating the reign (Rom. 5:14) of the only fallen cherub, Satan, is still ongoing and is premised on the raising of a company of first fruits/overcomers called the Man-Child in Rev. 12:5-8. The true church (Isa. 66:8/Rev. 12:2) would be responsible for raising that Man Child, who would be a Man because of the formation of Spiritual Stature of the knowledge/wisdom of Christ in them (Eph. 4:13) and a Child because of the meek nature of the lamb that made them compatible with the throne/receive the kingdom (Lk. 18:17/Matt. 11:29)

Some Scriptural references

Rev. 1:1 ‘The Revelation of Jesus Christ, which God gave unto him, to shew unto his servants things which must shortly come to pass; and he sent and signified it by his angel  (a cherubim) unto his servant John’

Rev. 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’. (THIS WAS A CHERUBIM SPEAKING ON BEHALF OF THE LORD UNTO JOHN, AS AN AMBASSADOR/REPRESENTATIVE/MINISTER, SPEAKING AS THE LORD WOULD SPEAK)

Heb. 1:7 ‘And of the angels he saith, Who maketh his angels spirits (referring to Cherubs), and his ministers a flame of fire’ (referring to Seraphs).

1 Tim3:16 ‘And without controversy great is the mystery of godliness: God was manifest in the flesh, justified in the Spirit, seen of angels, preached unto the Gentiles, believed on in the world, received up into glory’. (i.e. angels came into a high degree of Glory before man and were before man, so they had to be given that honor)

Isa. 14:12 -15 ‘How art thou fallen from heaven, O Lucifer, Son of the morning (an angel of the third heaven)! For thou hast said in thine heart, I will ascend into heaven (the realm of authority over the earth that Satan stole from Adam), I will exalt my throne above the Stars of God (angels of the first heaven): I will sit also upon the Mount of The Congregation (angels of the second heaven), in the sides of the north: I will ascend above the Heights of The Clouds (i.e. above the angels of the third heaven); I will be like the most High’ (the kind of likeness that only man was called to inherit, that which Christ attained on our behalf = Heb. 1:3/2Cor.3:18

Eze. 28:14 Thou art the anointed cherub that covereth (blesses); and I have set thee so: thou wast upon the holy mountain of God (holy place); thou hast walked (ministry of dispensing light/knowledge) up and down in the midst of the stones of fire (i.e. Seraphs).

Eph. 2:2 Wherein in time past ye walked according to the course of this world, according to the prince of the power of the air (i.e. the realm of authority over the earth which was stolen from Adam, the place where believers would meet with Christ at his second coming after it would have been cleansed of his enemies = 1Thes.4:17), the spirit that now works in the children of disobedience

Dan. 10:13 But the prince of the kingdom of Persia (i.e. a fallen Seraphim, a Ruler of the darkness of this world/spiritual wickedness in high places) withstood me (i.e. the holy seraphim described in Dan. 10:5-6) one and twenty days: but, lo, Michael (i.e. a cherub), one of the chief princes, came to help me; and I remained there with the kings of Persia.

Rev. 12:7 And there was war in heaven (i.e. the air, realm of authority over the earth): Michael and his angels fought against the dragon; and the dragon fought and his angels (i.e. Satan and angels of the first and second heaven which he deceived), And prevailed not; neither was their place found any more in heaven (i.e. the air was cleansed of its usurped authority). And the great dragon was cast out, that old serpent, called the Devil, and Satan,

David, A type of an overcomer in the Old Testament, understood the heavens/the angelic realm

Ps. 18:12 At the brightness that was before him, his thick clouds (i.e. Cherubs) passed, hail stones and coals of fire (i.e. Seraphs).

Ps. 78:14 In the daytime also he led them with a cloud (i.e. a Cherubim), and all the night with a light of fire (i.e. also a Cherubim, because they can manifest and carry out the ministry of a seraph, they can switch to a lower operation).

Ps. 19:1 The heavens (plural) declare the glory of God; and the firmament shoes his handiwork.

Ps.115:16 The heaven (i.e. the air/realm of authority over the earth that Satan stole from Adam), even the heavens (i.e. the first, second and third heaven), are the LORD’s: but the earth hath he given to the children of men.

Ps. 80:1 Give ear, O Shepherd of Israel, thou that lead Joseph like a flock; thou that dwells between the Cherubs, shine forth.

Bless You!

Things FROM God & Things OF God - Part 2

Dearly Beloved,

I was greatly encouraged when a colleague at work summarized part one of this series by saying “it sought to encourage believers to Seek Things That Are OF GOD and not just Seek Things That Are FROM GOD as preeminent in the church today! I trust the Lord to hereby build on this analysis and subsequently pay homage to why Words From God contained in the bible is different from the veiled meaning of the Word of God.

One of the greatest abuse among believers today is the use of the soul, i.e. the use of the mind and by extension, the heart. I see it daily and I personally trust the Lord to help me deal with every residual or unknown ways I fall short here because minds that would inherit the things OF GOD (inherit God) which are deep in nature (1Cor.2:10) cannot be used like the ‘average believer’ does today, see the early church! Many things despised by the-God-we-believe-in-but-do-not-know, have been highly esteemed by men (Lk. 16:15) and  hyped by the wisdom of fallen spirits and such legitimate things on the surface account for a large percentage of what we engage our minds in today. Selah 

The world has been feasted with ‘legitimate’ things that would perpetually keep our minds busy ‘beating the air’ (1Cor.9:26) and the question is ‘why are we preparing to learn of Things OF GOD when we get to heaven’? The epistles was written by resurrected minds so it hasn’t been reviewed or even easily understood till date, unlike books written by men! They used their minds in a very different way from you and I! I am trying to say that ‘It once took and still takes prisoners of Christ (Eph.3:1) to accurately understand Things That Are OF GOD and Only Such Souls Would Inherit God which takes place Before We Get To Heaven’! Many earthly advanced minds have invaded pulpits today and therefore can’t get the job of dealing with corruption in the souls of believers (2Pet.1:4).

Things OF GOD are not things present, so the destiny of believers are being shortchanged when ministrations they hear solely relate to their natural life! They are not things known to the intellectuals (the wise men) of this world (1Cor.20-21/27). They are things fabricated for the New Creation, not for the present Old Creation that is aging due to the effect of corruption on all created things, including man, and therefore everything that has interacted with corruption including the present heavens/earth would have to be rolled away (Heb.1:10-12). Eyes have neither seen them, nor ears heard them (1Cor 2:9)! Glorious angels that have been faithful to God for ages desire to see (i.e. understand) it, but it isn’t given to them (Heb.2:5/1Pet.1:12)! It was given to believers who unfortunately seek something else, low things like The American Dream, ephemeral things that can’t endure but pass away, things that lack the properties of Righteousness (1Pet.1:4)! Little wonder why another generation of believers are unconsciously despising The Revelations of Righteousness (Rom.1:16-17) that is primarily dispensed IN THE EPISTLES and not in THE INTRODUCTORY ASPECT of the Gospel i.e. Matthew, Mark, Luke and John.

2Cor5:17 ‘Therefore if any man be in Christ, he is A New Creature: old things are passed away; behold, all things are become new. (i.e. our recreated human spirit is a citizen of a new world that is yet to manifest and is seated with Christ in heavenly places, but the Soul needs to be thoroughly feed with Things OF GOD to attain/inherit the new creation state)

Things OF God are of the class of the throne of God, routed through New Testament revelations. They are BORN OF GOD (1Cor.2:7&10/1Jn.5:4) i.e. processed through what can be described as the ‘womb of the Godhead’ (Isa.46:3), and therefore emanate with a superior fabric than the angelic world (fallen or not) can comprehend. They are ‘forever and ever’ compliant (Heb. 1:8). They are things that Satan is clueless of and partaking of them would cause a believer to humiliate Satan and his cohorts like the Apostles of the lamb did and thereafter check into heaven glorious, as An Overcomer not like the thief on the cross! They are the inexhaustible, undefiled, incorruptible inheritance that can only be housed by THE SOUL, which makes it the most mysterious aspect of man (1Pet.1:4/9)!

1Jn. 5:4 For whatsoever is born OF GOD overcometh (is superior than Satan’s main invention i.e. corruption) the world: and this is the victory that overcometh the world, even our faith.

(i.e. the Faith of The New Testament is Born OF God and therefore different from the Faith Towards God exploits of Mk. 11:23/Heb.6:1-2/11:1-39a and is therefore superior/precious – 2Pet.1:1)

May we be a part of the remnant that the Lord is raising, those who would understand the perimeters of the Things OF God like men know and can skillfully analyze football today. Amen

Bless You!

Things 'FROM' God & Things 'OF' God - Part 1

http://thispresenttruth.blogspot.com/2011/11/things-from-god-things-of-god-part-1.html

Dearly Beloved,

You may agree with me that ‘the true meaning of most biblical quotations is beyond the prevalent interpretation that believers/the multitude give to it’. The following article was born out of a conversation with a colleague at work on why ‘NOT ALL WORDS IN THE BIBLE IS THE WORD OF GOD i.e. the bible contains Words From God (which many believers have accessed) and also The Word of God (which few believers and even ministers have discerned, which I am yet to comprehend, as I ought to, because they are highly revelational)

I’ll start by making reference to an understanding that can be culled from the two prepositions ‘OF’ & ‘FROM’.

There is a Wisdom From God. The Cherubs of the angelic realm have access to the highest form of this wisdom and the inverted state of this wisdom is what has caused Satan to reign for centuries. Adam and his Sons, the patriarch’s and Solomon accessed this wisdom in respective depreciating degrees. Pls see http://thispresenttruth.blogspot.com/2011/04/wisdom-according-to-solomon-apostle.html

There is a Wisdom Of God. Such was the wisdom packaged in the tree of life that Adam failed to eat, meant to make him wiser than Satan, but just like most generations of believers still do till date, Adam despised it because the part/process places strange demands on its recipients, the mandate to despise what we call ‘life’.

There is a Wisdom Of God. Such was the wisdom repackaged and revealed through Christ unto the Apostles for the true church. Such is the only spiritual technology that can dismantle the wiles/wisdom of Satan which the corporate church isn’t matured enough to handle till date!

There is a Faith From God. A selfless edition of this faith was what gave birth to the good reports (breakthroughs) enumerated in Heb. 11:1-39a. A self-entangled edition of this faith was the sole limitation of the Corinthian, the Hebrew and today’s church from going unto maturity/perfection, i.e. accessing the meat/strong meat of the New Testament. Heb. 5:12-13

There is a Faith From God. Such is the faith that opens the low degrees of God’s carnal/earth powers to meet man’s outward life (earthly/physical needs). This faith was designed as a foundation for the aspect of faith that builds man’s inward life (the unknown being called The Soul). This faith is limited because it can neither accurately discern The World nor overcome it. This faith can be operated by believers/unbelievers and is called Faith Towards God!

There is a Faith That Is Of God. This Faith is that would open up Heb. 11:39b, which I attempted to give illustrations of in part 1-24 of The Authoring of An Unfinished Faith available on 2011 archive in my blog http://thispresenttruth.blogspot.com . This is the Faith Christ used to Inherit God (not things like the first faith is primarily being used for today). This faith is the machinery that the Godhead uses to unwind the life we married when we loved the world and observed lying vanities. This faith is operated by Christ through a believer-made disciple-being-transformed-into-a-son and is called The Faith of The Son! Gal. 2:20

There is a Faith that is Of God. This faith is the only victory that overcomes, i.e. that is superior to the arrangement called The World –1 Jn. 5:1-5. This faith was born when the father walked in the Son (‘not walked with’ like He did with Noah). This faith is alien to Satan’s comprehension. This faith carries the life-exchanging-intelligence that enables a believer/minister to trade his life (the fleshy/carnal life) with the life/fellowship that resides with the Godhead (the divine life inaccessible to glorious angels till date) – 1 Jn. 1:1-3

There is a Righteousness From God. Such righteousness was unveiled unto old faithful’s and declared via their walk like we saw in Noah, Moses, Elijah, Elisha, the patriarchs, etc. Such righteousness could only bring a degree of pleasing to God because of the level of light available in such generations. By it, saints like Joshua and Elijah disobeyed natural/earthly laws and manifested God in ways that those who haven’t discerned The Righteousness That Is of Faith later revealed in Christ still covet.

There is the Righteousness Of God. This righteousness was what made God declare unto His Son that He was well-pleased (i.e. He hadn’t been pleased like that prior to then). Such was what Christ loved like men in my day love iniquity. Such righteousness is what makes the throne (the kingdom of God) rule over the heavens, including its glorious creatures we hardly know about as we ought to. Christ only fully officiated the ministry of righteousness after wearing his new name (The Lord our Righteousness-Jer. 23:6.) in fulfillment of Jeremiah’s prophesy.

There are Separations/sanctifications that was From God. Such was what caused the priests to draw nigh unto God in the holy place and the high priest in the most holy place, once a year, while Moses could break this protocol in and out of season. Such was what limited the Sons of  Abiathar priesthood to only minister only unto the children of Israel (outer court) while the Sons of Zadok could minister to God in the (holy place) Eze. 40:46/44:15.

There is the sanctification/Separation Of the New Testament. This is what gave room for us to be called to partake of what Heb. 12:10 called “His Holiness” by which is far from what we know as holiness today and was designed to cause us to Draw Nigh Unto God – Heb. 7:19. This is the ministry where the Lord perfects the saints that they might inherit their new name/identity/authority, their New Testament inheritance in God - 2Pet.1:4/Eph.4:13/Rev. 2:17.

 

There Is A Power That Is From God. This power manifested through Genesis to Revelation and is carnal in nature (i.e. it can be sighted with the natural eyes & operates on this present earth). This is the power that reaches/heals the outward man on crusade grounds. This is the preeminent power in the church today. It rose Lazarus up from the dead but because it wasn’t God’s Eternal Power, Lazarus did not only die again but also didn’t attain the soul state/stature of the new creation! Such was the power used in creating the heaven/earth therefore they would pass away (Heb. 1:10-12) because they are The Products of His Hands (Isa. 66:1-2), not his face. Such powers are not glorious in the original definition of Glory!

There Is A Power That Is Of God. Such was the power that first found expression in hell where it came to raise the Son from the lowest pit to die no more (Ps. 88:4-10). This is the power that was described in the epistles with adjectives like Eternal, Glorious & Divine, because of the origin/design of this power – The Face of God. This is the power designed to raise the souls of believers (not unbelievers-Rom. 1:16) from earthly constitutions and prepare it to sit on the same throne the Son of God sat/sits. This power was housed in the Gospel (i.e. the aspect of the NT which Christ couldn’t declare on earth, but later declared through Holy Ghost/His Apostles.

In like manner, there are Words From God but There is The Word Of God! As the Spirit inspires, I hope to share the little I know on this subsequently, while the above treatise is only an introduction and not an exposition.

Bless You!

Behold, I Come To Send A Sword - Matt. 10:34

Dearly Beloved,

In the spirit of 1 Corinthians 2:13 (comparing spiritual with spiritual), the following article is put forward by comparing Matt. 10:34 with other scriptures:

Matt. 10:34 Think not that I am come to send peace on earth: I came not to send peace, but a sword.

Verses 35-39  beautifully explains the above scripture, beyond a literal view point:

·         Vs. 35 For I am come to set a man at variance against his father, and the daughter against her mother, and the daughter in law against her mother in law. (The Lord was using the natural to drive home his message. He meant that the laws/life/nature he came to introduce would set its subjects (believers) at variance with all others, their fellows/closest ties)

·         Vs. 36 And a man’s foes shall be they of his own household. (The enemies of a man lies within him, within the unsaved soul, in the carnal mind which is not subject to the law of God, which is enmity with God–Rom. 8:7. They are the foothold that Satan uses to promote his values)

·         Vs.37 He that loveth father or mother more than me is not worthy of me…. (beyond the logical interpretation i.e. we are called to love an unknown life Christ came to introduce to man, a life we must love beyond anything we previously loved, typified by parents and loved ones here, and to do that, we must despise every representative of the former life)

·         Vs.39 He that findeth (keepeth) his life shall lose it: and he that loseth (i.e. despises his initial love for) his life for my sake shall find it (shall find the real life Christ came to unveil, man’s true life – Eternal life).

This is the meat of the Lord’s Gist. To separate a believer from what he knows/calls My Life which was actually a life designed by God’s enemy through the tree of good & evil, the Lord has to introduce a spiritual operation to get this done. The Milk of the Word can’t terminate that live, which we inherited from ADAM. It takes the Meat of the Word which is the Word of Righteousness or the Sword of the Spirit to gradually terminate it. This is the Testimony of Jesus that made Overcomers out of the disciples-made-Apostles.

Heb. 4:12 For The Word of God is quick, and powerful, and sharper than any Two Edged Sword, piercing even to the dividing asunder of Soul and Spirit, and of the joints and marrow, and is a discerner of the thoughts and intents of the heart.

(The New Testament that can separate the soul/soulish life from the spirit/spiritual life. It can discern thoughts and intents because it is pregnant with the righteous judgments/eyes (Rev. 5:6) of the throne

When Christ succeeds in introducing this life (which in Rom. 1:1 was initially described as the Gospel of God, in Rom. 1:16 as –i.e. became- the Gospel of Christ and in Rom. 2:16 as –i.e. became- the Gospel of Paul) to a believer through the two-edged ministry of his Sword (Word), it would put such at variance with everything/almost everybody around. Believers would begin to think differently from other believers and there would be reactions (persecutions) from without, from fellow believers/unbelievers who still retain/defend the intelligence/passions of the former life.

WOULD GOD REST – PART 4

Dearly Beloved,

Dearly Beloved,

I finally found a clue to why believers unknowingly nurse shallow degrees of conviction and commitment to the Christian walk! There is a subtle deception/goal of at least making it to heaven (whether believers understand the implication of getting there with a far superior soul state than that of the thief or not) and this is one of the reasons why the reign of sin & death has gone unconfronted. The Kingdom of Heaven has therefore been starved of Sons, Overcomers, Trees of Righteousness, by virtue of believers  who remain in the soul state/stature of children, Seeds of Righteousness. Matt. 13:24/Gal. 3:16/Isa. 61:3

It may interest you to know that the human spirit was begotten into the Kingdom at new birth but the Soul was only adopted by the initial sprinkling and washing of water by the word. (Eph. 5:26) God therefore a holy calling upon the soul to press and enter into the kingdom and this was premised on the condition of being stripped of the carnal mind (nature) which we all bear in varying degrees! 

The soul didn’t have the capacity to discern the Kingdom when the human spirit got born again because God tied that gracious aspect/experience to A Qualitative Walk in the Spirit. We therefore can only attain Spiritual Discernment by acquiring age in the Spirit, so that the great high priest of the profession of Faith (Christ Jesus) can gradually dispense volts of revelation knowledge into our souls and we can then be graced to graduate in Knowing The Father/Partaking of His Divine Nature and Inheriting Eternal Life, glory!

So, what Jn. 3:3-4  was therefore implying was that the calling and potential to See (Jn. 3:3) the kingdom was only given to the soul at new birth while our regenerated Spirit was already manifesting the graces of the kingdom by sitting together in heavenly places in Christ Jesus! (Eph. 2:6) . Our soul is yet to seat because it is yet to partake of the glorious meals of the New Testament! You and I earnestly need to be born of water and spirit (the second birth by the incorruptible seed pertaining to the soul- (1 Pet. 1:23) whereby carnal laws we inherited when we (and as long as we love the world) would be replaced with the Laws of the Spirit of Life resident in Christ (Rom. 8:2) to enable us ultimately enter the kingdom before we ‘fall asleep’ (drop our earthly suit).

1 Pet. 1:3 Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, which according to his abundant mercy hath begotten us again (i.e. different from Jn. 3:3 because it pertains to the Soul) unto a lively hope by the resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead

The kingdom has its interaction, its separation. Nicodemos and many wanted to see it like they saw the Davidic or Solomon’s kingdom but ‘fortunately’, it has been zoomed into the another plane. It has a path, a way and believers/ministers would need an entrance ministered unto them by continuously fulfilling 2Pet. 3-10.

2 Pet 1:11 For SO (i.e. conditional, after fulfilling vs. 3-10) an entrance shall be ministered unto you abundantly into the everlasting kingdom (not just making it to heaven which carnal believers do but going there with the kind of gold soul state of the Apostles) of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ.

We would see in subsequent series, why the first born again experience (initial faith) and the initial years surrounding it only makes a believer a seed of the kingdom and why many go to heaven as seed not trees of righteousness after much Christian activities/professing.

Bless You!
