The Mystery Of The Indwelling Christ – Jesus, So Holy
....PDF Version
I was in the Spirit on the Lord's day, and heard behind me a great
voice, as of a trumpet, Saying, I am Alpha and Omega, the first and the last:
and, What thou seest, write in a book, and send it unto the seven
churches which are in Asia; unto Ephesus, and unto Smyrna, and unto Pergamos,
and unto Thyatira, and unto Sardis, and unto Philadelphia, and unto Laodicea.
And I turned to see the voice that spake with me. And being turned, I saw seven
golden candlesticks; And in the midst of the seven candlesticks one like
unto the Son of man, clothed with a garment down to the foot, and girt about
the paps with a golden girdle. His head and his hairs were white
like wool, as white as snow; and his eyes were as a flame of fire; And
his feet like unto fine brass, as if they burned in a furnace; and his voice as
the sound of many waters. And he had in his right hand seven stars: and out of
his mouth went a sharp twoedged sword: and his countenance was as the
sun shineth in his strength. And when I saw him, I fell at his feet as dead.
And he laid his right hand upon me, saying unto me, Fear not; I am the first
and the last: I am he that liveth, and was dead; and, behold, I am alive
for evermore, Amen; and have the keys of hell and of death. Revelation 1:10-18)
In the year that king Uzziah died I saw also the Lord sitting upon a
throne, high and lifted up, and his train filled the temple. Above it stood the
seraphims: each one had six wings; with twain he covered his face, and with
twain he covered his feet, and with twain he did fly. And one cried unto
another, and said, Holy, holy, holy, is the LORD of hosts: the whole
earth is full of his glory. And the posts of the door moved at the voice
of him that cried, and the house was filled with smoke. Then said I, Woe is
me! for I am undone; because I am a man of unclean lips, and I dwell in
the midst of a people of unclean lips: for mine eyes have seen the King, the
LORD of hosts. Then flew one of the seraphims unto me, having a live coal in
his hand, which he had taken with the tongs from off the altar: And he
laid it upon my mouth, and said, Lo, this hath touched thy lips; and
thine iniquity is taken away, and thy sin purged. Isaiah 6:1-7
And I beheld, and, lo, in the midst of the throne and of the four
beasts, and in the midst of the elders, stood a Lamb as it had been slain,
having seven horns and seven eyes, which are the seven Spirits of God sent
forth into all the earth. And he came and took the book out of the right hand
of him that sat upon the throne. And when he had taken the book, the four
beasts and four and twenty elders fell down before the Lamb, having
every one of them harps, and golden vials full of odours, which are the prayers
of saints. And they sung a new song, saying, Thou art worthy to take the book,
and to open the seals thereof: for thou wast slain, and hast redeemed us to God
by thy blood out of every kindred, and tongue, and people, and nation; And hast
made us unto our God kings and priests: and we shall reign on the earth. Revelation
5:6-10
He was taken from prison and from judgment: and who shall declare his
generation? for he was cut off out of the land of the living: for the
transgression of my people was he stricken. And he made his grave with the
wicked, and with the rich in his death; because he had done no violence,
neither was any deceit in his mouth. Yet it pleased the LORD to bruise
him; he hath put him to grief: when thou shalt make his soul an offering
for sin, he shall see his seed, he shall prolong his days, and
the pleasure of the LORD shall prosper in his hand. He shall see of the travail
of his soul, and shall be satisfied: by his knowledge shall my righteous
servant justify many; for he shall bear their iniquities. Therefore will I
divide him a portion with the great, and he shall divide the spoil with
the strong; because he hath poured out his soul unto death: and he was numbered
with the transgressors; and he bare the sin of many, and made intercession for
the transgressors. Isaiah 53:8-12
Repent ye therefore, and be converted, that your sins may be blotted
out, when the times of refreshing shall come from the presence of the Lord; And
he shall send Jesus Christ, which before was preached unto you: Whom the heaven
must receive until the times of restitution of all things, which God hath
spoken by the mouth of all his holy prophets since the world began. For Moses
truly said unto the fathers, A prophet shall the Lord your God raise up unto
you of your brethren, like unto me; him shall ye hear in all things whatsoever
he shall say unto you. Acts 3:19-22
Why do the heathen rage, and the people
imagine a vain thing? The kings of the earth set themselves, and the rulers
take counsel together, against the LORD, and against his anointed, saying,
Let us break their bands asunder, and cast away their cords from us. He that
sitteth in the heavens shall laugh: the Lord shall have them in derision. Then
shall he speak unto them in his wrath, and vex them in his sore displeasure.
Yet have I set my king upon my holy hill of Zion. I will declare the decree:
the LORD hath said unto me, Thou art my Son; this day have I begotten
thee. Ask of me, and I shall give thee the heathen for thine
inheritance, and the uttermost parts of the earth for thy possession.
Thou shalt break them with a rod of iron; thou shalt dash them in pieces like a
potter's vessel. Be wise now therefore, O ye kings: be instructed, ye judges of
the earth. Serve the LORD with fear, and rejoice with trembling. Kiss the Son, lest
he be angry, and ye perish from the way, when his wrath is kindled but a
little. Blessed are all they that put their trust in him. Psalm 2:1-12
(3 Visions)
“A view of a single cell with one yolk
being divided. The cell then divided fully into two cells, but both were still
joined with a thin double layer of skin between them. Then saw I the sword of
the Lord come down and with might, not by the tip of the blade, but by the long
edge of the blade it smote one of the cells thus destroying it, killing it
completely while the original cell remained and was not harmed nor hurt by the
destroying sword of the Lord.”
(End Vision)
“From above the earth I saw the vast raging
waves of a great sea, the waves billowed and rolled into a great foaming tempest
with waves crashing in upon waves and the entire expanse of the sea became very
unstable and was always in a state of great motion. Then saw I the Lord above
this huge vast expanse of the Sea. Beside the Lord was the New Jerusalem, even
that bright and holy city which is the Kingdom of God. The gates of this city were
open wide unto the sea. The Lord, by His
spirit, directed each and every wave into this very same New Jerusalem till in
time, all the waves were brought into the holy city of the Lord. When I saw
this, I knew that I had witness the restoration and salvation of all.”
(End Vision)
“I saw afterwards Jesus, perfectly holy in
the center life of the Overcomer. He abode in absolute holiness of His person,
fully clothed in resurrection majesty and filled with the light of the
countenance of glory. So bright was this glory that it was blinding to look
upon. He motioned outwards with His arms and hands and progressively moved
outward in the life of the Overcomer until Holiness became part and one with
they who would obey the Lord in all things. As Jesus moved outward, the outer
man of the Overcomer would crumble and crack and disintegrate and break off in
large pieces. The Overcomer often would not be able to understand the cracking and
breaking apart of their outward man. They had in the mind the thought that they
hated their outward man, but when the outward man was being thus removed from
them, they would fight to protect it and to keep it. This was a war of the
outward man against the holy Jesus that was in the life of they who were called
to be Overcomers. Jesus was white and
glorious in brightness in absolute holiness, and when His motion of moving
outward in the life of the Overcomer was accomplished, they too were white and
holy as He. The outward man would perish more and more; the inward man became
all as Jesus, or if you will, was Jesus, one with the inward parts of the man.
That way the man was alive, but it was Jesus who was alive in them. This indeed
was a great miracle of the Lord that Jesus would manifest Himself in such a way
in the life of they who overcome.”
(End Vision)
The hardest thing for any person who truly
loves the Lord and who loves the truth to do is to tame their thoughts. It is
the power of the thinking mind that has to be subdued. From the mind comes forth
all the thoughts which can align themselves with the spirit of truth or the
mind can align itself with that which is in conflict with the spirit of truth,
in other words, error. The biggest thing anyone can overcome is ungodly
thoughts which are right up there with the issues of death, rather than the
issues of life. It is in the mind that vain imaginings happen, when one worries
about what others may think of them or do unto them. When divisions happen and discords
take place the mind is the first thing to justify one’s own actions while
condemning the other party you just got separated from. The mind also will make
feeble excuses to not understand truths of the Lord all so it can relish in its
ignorance, basking in the dim light of its own lack of fortitude and judgment
because it has no inclination to improve itself. The mind in the life of one
who desires to walk with the Lord can be the most painful and hurtful thing to overcome.
It is the fact that memories and the protection of hurtful things can be
relished in the mind thus promoting unforgiveness and a myriad of negative
thoughts and critical expressions. It is the thinking mind that immediately
pursues wicked thoughts and sinful actions, feeding your flesh with lustful
things and imaginations that promote strengthened sins rather than quiet
obedience. The mind unsubdued will kill your walk in the Lord; the mind subdued
will bring your walk into total obedience. It is not that the mind has this power;
it is that the mind is A RESPONDER TO OUTWARD CIRCUMSTANCES AND INWARD EMOTIONS.
For the mind can only respond to outward circumstances in the world of men and
to inward emotions in the latent power of your own soul, your emotional makeup.
But one thing the mind does more than anything is it DENIES that Jesus is in
you of a truth. The mind becomes the one part of your person which will not
perceive the Lord within you, and if it does perceive the Lord within you, it
starts up a war to not allow the Lord to be manifest in you. If it doesn’t
start up a war by denying the Lord in you
it starts up a war by making you thus equal
with the Lord in you. The mind does both extremes. It will make you look “inward”
which can be very dangerous, or “outward” to look away unto some other location
where the Lord might be dwelling. Now if this mind has first been subdued by
your will to bring your thoughts into subjection to the Lord, then the mind
will rejoice in the knowledge of Christ in you. As it rejoices, the Lord flows
freely out from your center thus manifesting Himself in greater and greater
degrees through your life. So the mind is that teeter totter which can throw
you one way or the other and it is that mind which must be subdued.
Note this truth very carefully. Jesus, in
His true location, is at the right hand of the Father in Heaven and He will
remain there until the time of the restitution of all creation has come. He is
not to be sought out in a group, or in a ministry, or in a company of people
that claim high spiritual things. He is not there in the secret chamber nor there
in a desert place! The Lord is to be
seen in His exalted place beside the Throne of the Majesty on High. But this is
where The Mystery of the Indwelling Christ comes in, and it does so in spite of
what your mind is telling you. Christ, at the right hand of the Father, is in
you in the very same glory and the very same power. He is in you in the
totality of His person, the full expression of resurrection life AS that very
resurrection. He whose hairs are white like wool is in you the very same way.
He is in you in a mirror image of where He is right now in His glorified body
at the right hand of God. What is growing in you and what is maturing in you in
completeness is YOUR NEW NATURE. Think of it this way. That your spirit is
joined as one with the Lord’s spirit. This joining is a perfect joining, it is
a oneness that is eternal and is that part of you which is holy and right and
is without sin and without iniquity. Yet this maturing of the new nature I am
speaking of is also a reality. What is the difference between Jesus in you and your
new nature? Simply put, your new nature IS THAT WHICH IS BORN OF THE SPIRIT OF
THE LORD IN YOU. It is that part of your life which is born of Him. And that
part must grow in two ways. It must grow to be seen as ONE with the Lord in
you, and it must grow so that your thinking mind KNOWS IT. So that your
thoughts are not self exalting thoughts, but thoughts of the reality that a
holy nature is in you and will one day manifest fully through you. So you see then,
it is a growing which enables your thinking mind to grasp that it is very much
a present reality in you. The Overcomers right now are in the throes of this
growth. They struggle to know that they have a pure nature in them born of the
spirit because outside of them and in their flesh dwells no good thing.
Now the Apostle Paul said, “For I know that in me (that is, in my
flesh,) dwelleth no good thing: for to will is present with me; but how to perform that which is good I
find not.” Romans 7: 18. So how it that we, in our flesh, can know Christ
is in us in absolute purity and in the knowledge that we actually do possess a
perfect sinless nature? After all, we see that in our flesh naturally we are
detestable, obstinate and with a mind out of control. The fruit of self control
is absent from our flesh it seems. Yet the fruit of self control is the
manifest presence of “being yielded” unto the Lord. Thoughts which remain to be
“reined in” seem to be stronger than our own persevering will to do this “reining
in” of our own nature. All the while the
Overcomer is daunted by this thought process of the mind which flips about in
such a display of a contemptible morass of incredible confusion. This is the
thrust of what the Apostle Paul meant when he cried to be delivered from this
body of death. He found that there was in him a ‘law’ of the spirit. That law
was the same law that came of a commandment Jesus mentioned to His disciples.
Jesus said plainly that the Father had given Him a commandment. Amazingly, this
commandment was not to rein the raging flesh nature in, nor to subdue anything
before the time. This commandment surpassed all the efforts of any vain
religion that would have tried to tempt the King of Kings. Here is that
commandment which in us is the law of life the Apostle Paul mentions in Romans 7
and 8. “For I have not spoken of myself;
but the Father which sent me, he gave me a commandment, what I should say, and
what I should speak. And I know that his commandment is life everlasting: whatsoever I speak therefore, even as the
Father said unto me, so I speak.” John 12:49-50. Ah! The commandment WAS LIFE EVERLASTING! Far greater than any
religious effort, far greater than any sin, any iniquity, anything at all that would
separate any one person from the Lord. “LIFE
EVERLASTING”! That was the ONLY
COMMANDMENT JESUS HAD. This commandment Jesus has JUST DOESN’T STOP. It is
ONGOING. It is ETERNAL. It will encompass ALL MANKIND. And this commandment is
your new nature, bursting forth and tearing apart, from the inside out, YOUR
OLD NATURE. This is a progressive work, a holy work, it is not done until the
Lord says it is done, it is an ongoing working of the life of Christ in you
along with the cross of Christ in you. It is the very basis of moving from
Romans 7 to Romans 8. It is the law of the spirit of life in Christ which is in
you.
Now to speak prophetically I will state the
following, this is in point of fact true and real prophecy. Your flesh has come
to the full, it is fully amassed and is sitting as a conglomerate lump of unregenerate
clay on the outside of your very person, a thick mass that is putrid and dead
and cannot ever be saved nor made alive. It is dead, yet animated, cursed, yet
breathing. It is a mass of deadened cursed earth from which the ground work
therein houses the roots of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil. And I
say unto you that this seems to be all you can see for the most part. Some know
the Lord is in them. Some know that they have a sinless Son abiding in them
which is the Lord Jesus, manifest in their spirit. Some know that they possess
the new nature which is born of God and which cannot sin. But on the outside is
this mass of clay. This clay I now prophecy unto you IS FULLY MEASURED. The
scope of it has come to the full tally in the Overcoming Company, AND THE LORD
HAS RISEN NOW IN OUR TIME TO REMOVE IT. You will see this happen now. In your
thoughts, just prior to the coming of the Lord, YOU
WILL FORGET THAT YOU HAVE FLESH. YOU WILL
REMEMBER INSTEAD THAT THE LORD IS IN YOU OF A TRUTH. This prophesied
forgetting IS THE FLATTENED AVENUE OF HIS COMING FOOTSTEPS. It is the highway
built by the abasing of all the high mountains (of pride) in you and the rising
of all the low valleys (of negativism) in you into one level plain for the Lord
to walk upon. And this walking will be from your inner man to your outer man,
AND EVERY NATION ALIVE UPON THE EARTH NOW AND ALL NATIONS WHICH ONCE LIVED BUT
ARE NOW EXTINCT, ALL THESE SHALL SEE THE LORD COMING FORTH IN FULL GLORY FROM
WITHIN YOU, NOTHING WILL PREVENT THIS FROM NOW TAKING PLACE. I say this to you
dear reader as a prophetic unction from the Holiest of Holies, even from the
very lips of the Lord Himself.
Also now a word of caution. For this is
also a dangerous time. This is the time where the mind will give ground to the
spirits of deceiving devils which will trick your mind to look inwards, to view
the power of your soul as if it were the Lord when in fact it may very well be
that fallen nature you are looking at. For the danger of our time is that we think
we see the Lord, when in fact it may not be the Lord, the danger is seeing that
which is perdition and not the Lord. How do we tell the difference? The test is
very simple.
If it is truly the Lord, then you will see
your person as redeemed and made one, one in spirit, with the Lord Himself in
you. If it is the antichrist perdition which would imitate the Lord in you,
then you would see yourself as being made like unto a god. The true one sees
you as redeemed and made one with the living Christ, the false one would make
you think you are a god like God. It is that simple.
These are epic times. This is the state of transition;
the woman is labouring to birth the manchild. And as such the earth is groaning
under the heavy weight of the curse. The curse, the earth in its mourning state
and the birthing of the manchild all get more complicated with the power of the
dragon who sets itself to kill any comings forth of the Lord in the earth,
ready as it were to devour this child and to swallow it up as soon as it is
born. The earth is full of dragon vomit everywhere you look, and every-thing is
out of control. This all is the pressure of this hour and it is the ending of
one age and the introduction of the millennium. In the midst of this rages the
dragon and the power of the two beasts, the carnal religious nature in mankind.
Out of all this the Lord has hand selected YOU DEAR READER TO CONQUER YOUR OWN DECEIVING
MIND. It is your mind in its carnal state that is the ground upon which the
dragon scopes out its power. It is that mind which rises to damn the Christ in
you, to kill in you any comings forth of Jesus in you, to slay Him as a martyr.
When we enter the study on the Mystery of the Great Whore, I will show you how
the power of the carnal mind will martyr any comings forth of Jesus within you,
and then blame you for doing it as if you were responsible. The blood in our
hour is flowing thick and heavy and it is putrid, but for you dear reader the
Lord is coming and He will cleanse your blood so that it will never be defiled
again. He is about to exchange your blood for His.
Set your footsteps away in a continual
measure from anything that is happening in the outward world. Steer your frame
away from the speculations of the myriad of false prophets who equate the Lord’s
coming with their carnal ordinances and wicked hateful words. These false
prophets and false teachers and false apostles surround the world of men from
every side. They are all of their father the devil; nothing they say will ever
harm you if you keep away from them. Nothing they do or prophesy against you
can hurt you if you remain in your closet of prayer. Just keep yourself free
from the detestable thing, that way you can be free from the carnal thing.
Bring instead your own flesh, your own carnality into the prayer closet with
you and give it all to the Lord. Present it to Him completely, all the
negatives along with all the positives and let Him be the owner of it all. While
there, in the solitude of prayer, you will know that the Lord is in you of a
truth, you will see Him coming forth from within you and the brightness of His
coming will destroy that perdition you presented to Him. Forget what is
happening in the world of men around you, it is all slated to be completely
destroyed. Instead move your footfalls to the place of quiet solitude away from
all others, there commune with the Lord Himself and with no other. This is the
time where we need to be quiet and to “Study
to shew thyself approved unto God, a workman that needeth not to be ashamed,
rightly dividing the word of truth.” 2 Timothy 2:15. I always say that you
can know how to read and study and rightly divide the word of truth when you
are in the darkness of your closet.
For you the reader I would give this answer
of peace. Know that the Lord is right on time with you. He will perfect all
that which concerns you and you will not fall short of His perfect will in any
way at all. In your life all things will be done decently and in order, however
your mind may rage and be confused at the processing of the boiling flesh that
surrounds you. Take that confusion, those thoughts of your very lack and simply
give them to the Lord. He is the one who is doing this work and He will finish
it perfectly in you. Set your life aside as you are and be there, even in the
busyness of daily life or of your daily work, paying bills or providing for
others. It is not the outward thing that matters, but the things of your heart,
for that is where the Lord is speaking to you. The manchild is soon to be born,
and that child will look identical to He who sits upon the Throne.
