My 3 am communion continues to yield awe and wonder! To those who are very sensitive, when discordant minds are asleep it is heavenly! Your Presence is heaven to me God! So last night, or rather this morning, “forgive us our trespasses as we forgive those who trespass against us” came alive as I recognized that any thoughts other than Christ-like thoughts are trespassers in your mind! strong emotions leashed against you trespass your heart! and sinful actions done to you trespass your will. Stop! who goes there? Take every thought captive! Until your heart is filled with Christ, your words trespass against yourself and others. Until your heart is circumcised and filled with Christ who flows as a river of Spirit in and through you, your heart is trespassed against. You trespass against others when the issues of life flow out of your heart and not a river of Christ.
“By sorrow of heart the spirit is broken” (Proverbs 15:13)
Those whose hearts have been trespassed build walls around their heart to keep out further invaders who promise love and deliver hurt. Only the righteous Bridegroom can come in and deliver every promise and MORE! Therefore we armor our heart with righteousness by inviting Jesus to live in our heart! His Spirit Sword circumcises our heart to let the pain of darkness out and fills us with his true Love and Holy Spirit and pure Light. Put on the breastplate of righteousness!
We only need the helmet of salvation for our head to keep trespassers out of it! We need salvation for our mind, thoughts, beliefs, ideas, concepts, sight, hearing, smelling, tasting, thoughts about what we feel, and speaking! Salvation is healing, making whole, complete, purified, refined with a Christ-like Mind! We submit to God, resist the devil, and let Holy Spirit fill our mind with Christ to think from heaven and about heavenly things, not earthly things that trespass against us! Instead of trespassing thoughts, we put on the Mind of Christ! Put on the helmet of salvation and be new heaven-ly minded!
Truth over our loins keeps trespassers from our spirit. The truth is when you have sex with someone you take on their unredeemed stuff and receive their darkness or demons if sex is outside of holy marriage. Unholy soul ties are created and bondage results, emotionally, mentally, spiritually and physically. “All things are lawful, but not all things are helpful. All things are lawful, but do not be ENSLAVED by anything…The body is not meant for immorality, but for the Lord, and the Lord for the body. And God RAISED the Lord and will also RAISE US UP by his power. Do you not know that your bodies are members of Christ? Shall you then take the members of Christ and make them members of a prostitute? Never! Do you not know that he who joins himself to a prostitute (someone you are not in holy matrimony with) become one body with her? For, as it is written, ‘The two shall become one flesh.’ But he who is united to the Lord becomes one spirit with him…Do you not know that your body is a temple of the Holy Spirit within you, which you have from God? You are not your own; you were bought with a price. So glorify God in your body” 1 Cor 6:12-20. Put Truth over your loins! Keep Truth in your new earth-ly form!
“Those who are in Christ are a new creation…behold, the new has come!” 2 Cor 5:16-18
Let Jesus wash your feet and put Christ’s equipment of the gospel of peace on them! Jesus said he only had to wash our feet to take part in him (John 13:8-10), because the SOLES of our feet come in contact with the earth, but with Christ in our SOUL we live in heaven as we walk the earth IN HIM, in peace! He overcame the world of tribulation so live in Him in Peace! (John 16:33)
Deep calls to deep! Go deep within your being to find the kingdom of God and his righteousness and Christ will lift you up to receive Himself! “When I am lifted up I will draw all up to me.” The Spirit and fire of God activate the Christ seed in you! Eternity was hidden in your heart before the foundation of the world; you were IN CHRIST before the foundation of the world! Now is the time to wake up and receive the LIGHT, the awareness Christ will give you (Eph 5:14); be quickened to “grow up in EVERY WAY into him who is the Head, into Christ” (Eph 4:15) to see as he sees, hear as he hears, spiritually perceive from your heart as he does, and BE as he IS! “Let his Love be perfected in you, be confident, because as he is so are we in THIS WORLD” 1 John 4:17.
“Hope deferred makes the heart sick, but a desire fulfilled is a tree of life” (Proverbs 13:12)
NO LONGER fall short of the glory! (Romans 3:23) Christ in you is the hope of glory. No longer defer hope, GET CHRIST IN YOU, fulfilled promises in you, a tree of life in you, the river of Christ Spirit flowing in and through you! (Revelation ch 21 and 22 in you)! Do not rest until you REST IN CHRIST, the realization of Christ, not self-realization but Christ in you! “It is no longer I who live, but Christ who lives in me.” I cannot not sin, but Christ in me cannot sin. I fall short of the glory, but Christ in me is the glory. I cannot live a holy life, but Christ in me is holy Life! I don’t know what truth is, but Christ in me is TRUTH! “The two become one” is the hidden mystery revealed by Jesus: Christ in our Father! AND now and is to come: you in Christ and he in you!!!!!!! Jesus is the Father in form! You are Christ-like in form if you have eyes to see and ears to hear…
“In that day you will know that I am in my Father, and you are in me, and I in you” “I give you my glory as my Father gave me his glory, ALL to glorify our Father!” (John 17:1-26) You give glory to our Father by Christ in you!!!!!!!
Do not lose heart! Do not be afraid! It is your Father’s good pleasure to give you the kingdom! The kingdom is at hand, in your midst and within! Seek first the kingdom within and all things will be given to you! Christ in you! His kingdom, power and glory within so you can do the things he did and even greater things, because he is perfectly one with our Father now!!!!!!! “The gospel is veiled ONLY to those who are dying. In their case the god of this world has blinded the minds of unbelievers, to keep them from seeing the light of the gospel of the glory of Christ, who is the likeness of God” (2 Cor 4:3) Our veil is REMOVED by Christ! We become the likeness of Christ from one degree of glory to another from the Lord who is the Spirit! (2 Cor 3:18)
Christ in us SHINES like light out of darkness; shining in our hearts to GIVE LIGHT of the knowledge of the glory of God in the face of Christ. WE ARE TO BE THE FACE (image and likeness) OF CHRIST ON EARTH AS HE IS IN HEAVEN FACE TO FACE WITH GOD! The two become one! We have THIS TREASURE in our new earthen vessels to show the transcendent power belonging to God is IMMANENT in us…the LIFE OF JESUS manifested in our bodies, his Spirit in our flesh…raising us up WITH HIM into God’s presence! (2 Cor 4:6-14) The treasure in us is Christ’s glory light, splendor, radiance, risen bright morning star, new dawn, new eternal day: NHONE! THIS IS LIFE in the Spirit of God, led by the Holy Spirit!!!!!!!
Put on the armor of Light; put on Christ as a garment and no longer allow ANY trespassing in your spirit, soul and body!!!!!!! Only let the heavenly things of Christ in your heart, mind, will, body and spirit! Arise, and shine light and glory for the glory of God!!!!!!!
Father, pour your Spirit upon all flesh! Pour River pour! Jesus said out of your heart and belly will pour rivers of living water, washing all trespassers and trespasses away; cleansing everything in your vicinity!
“We are fixed on this one thing, to know your goodness and see your glory; we’re transformed by this one thing, to know your presence and see your beauty”
“Have you come to the end of yourself? Do you desire a drink from the well?”
New Heaven on Earth! 
HI there, it’s important to understand the scripture quoted here FROM 1 Cor 10:23“All things are lawful,” but not all things are profitable; “All things are lawful,” but not all edify. 24Let no one seek the good of himself, but that of the other.
25Eat everything being sold in the meat market, inquiring nothing on account of conscience,
when you quoted the scripture in part only, you applied it as if it was referring to ALL THINGS. It was not! It was referring to food sold by Gentiles, as opposed to the Jewish Kosher foods. It was not referring to adultery or sex out of marriage, as lawful.
We are under a far stricter law, the law of the Spirit of Christ’s life. If Christ isn’t doing it, it isn’t right.
One of my boys quoted this like this to me once, and I had to correct his mistake, it’s a BIG ONE!
So while your main point is so important, this misnomer is deadly. WE are under a Law, it is the law of life! It covers even our attitudes, our intentions, everything. The law of not human will life, but Christ’s will life. For us now, Life BY CHRIST, is all there is for the true believer.
To live otherwise, is to sin. And we are not since being born again, having any right to go into sin.
Sin is still sin, even without the Law of Moses, but now a much higher restriction. It is not legalism, but life. But it is a very narrow, yet very expansive all encompassing life. It is HIS LIFE! HIS PERSON!
To live in and by and unto Christ, this is our dedication in His call. This is the message of the cross, all is crucified with Christ, what remains is only life in Him.
Much of the modern church has been led astray from this singularity of Christ, and now thinks that Christ came to free them from the law, so they could live under a mercy from God to live their own life. That is diametrically OPPOSED to the gospel.
The door is much narrower than the law ever was. But the wonderful difference, even though it involves our death in Christ to self and flesh, the life we live by is Him. This is bridal love, and this is the bridal call!

Yes! of course! We are no longer under physical or religious law we are under the law of the Spirit written on our hearts as epistles! The written code kills; the Spirit gives Life! We no longer follow the external laws of the old covenant; In Christ we are kingdom citizens with Christ in God; God’s laws are written on our heart and mind! We have an internal locus of control; we are led by the Holy Spirit, who would never lead us into sin or its natural consequences that lead to death. Our spirit is sensitized to the Holy Spririt who guides us in the Way, Truth and Life! It is the narrow way and few find it; it is the most amazing Way! We are one with God in Christ and Christ alone! It is the most amazing Life Abundant! Nothing compares! All else pales! Oh how we love you Jesus!

hi there, thanks for the reply. I’d love to respond more now, iron sharpening iron if that would apply, but you get the idea anyways.. There is MUCH MORE than natural consequences, as if we only reap in a sort of fruit only way, what we sow. What I mean is that to sin, does not just now, in Christ, only lead to natural consequences. There is a strict judgment that we pass through as we are disciplined and discipled of the Lord. And there is AN ACCOUNTABILITY which is both now, and at His judgment seat. So many have tried by twisting doctrine and context, to make the Bema seat of Christ, as just a place of rewards. But as the scripture says so succinctly “knowing therefore the terror of the Lord”, and that, concerning entirely this judgment of each individual. If it were only reward, there would be a deep concern, but “terror” as the scripture says, and as it elaborates in so many ways in the New Testament, there is a profound accountability for words, intents, desires, actions and works. I once didn’t realize this so well as I do now, due to the much buffered preaching nowadays, which seeks to give a soother to everyone to make the gospel child safe and having only honey on the soother. But this does not make for disciples, nor for a mature bride.
Just look at the letter to the 7 churches, in the book of Revelation of Jesus Christ, how even very commended Christians and churches were so sternly warned about this accountability to the Lord, that even whom we would commend highly, the Lord had no blind eye when it came to their downfalls.
Yet though we are comforted with modern preaching excessively, and there is much comfort of the scriptures and the gospel. It still is not a comfort that goes beyond the truth of things, and sugar coats the real call.
Jesus is serious business to the self will in man, to the self indulging, to the lukewarm, to that which would disobey Him or not take His holiness seriously.
So it is much more than a natural accountability, but an accountability to the Lord that is way more serious than I once realized.
I’m not picking at things, negative and looking for some little thing. It’s just that the most sincere, as you seem to be. And those with so much revelation and passionate bridal hope as you have, still, we have had so many years of the sugar coated, even when we read the scripture, the sugar we’ve been fed often gets in the way of what the gospel really says.
love sister,
I see much in you by your writings, that I identify with. That’s why I take the time to communicate on these things. I see so much wealth of the revelation of His way and call in what you write. I also see this other influence that influences it seems, almost all of us this day, which I myself am also trying to be free of it’s icing sugar candy coating that just sticks to everything. Christ is very sweet indeed, but it’s not all candy. The bread of Christ and call to the bride, involves a love affair with Him that means our death. There’s no sugar there. I never saw that ten years ago, but thank God I think I can read the gospel now more clear since I stopped involving myself with the sugary preachers. It’s hard once you’ve been exposed for awhile, to get away from the ‘take’ they make on stuff, and really see what the gospel of the Lord really says. It’s not hard to find. but when you’ve heard about a thousand sermons one way on something, it’s hard to see anything what you’ve been told it means, rather than what it plainly says.
Anyways, love in Christ, hope you see what I mean.

Kitty, you may be coming from a different place from Yvonne. Jesus has already passed judgement, and all is already under His feet. It is only our duty to realize this and rest in His victory.
Are you not rather looking at the English meaning of the word rather than the context of the Greek or Hebrew? Much like “fear” of the Lord, means “awe”.
Of course He holds us to a higher standard and accountability – but in love, not fear. We are His wife, and He loves us as His own Body, who He gave Himself up for. By analogy – is an earthly wife supposed to fear, or be in terror of, her husband? Of course not. We submit in love and awe, not fear or terror.
Why would our Father, or Jesus our Husband, terrorize us? I think you need to look at the Spirit of the letter, rather than the dead text.

Hi Kelly, thank you for taking the time to comment and share where you are coming from! I can no longer go back to what is dead in Christ, but I will invite you to come up higher, daughter of the Father of glory! into the new creation in Christ! new life beyond what you can think or ask! “No eye has seen, no ear has heard, nor the heart of man conceived what God has prepared for those who love him” When he pours his Holy Spirit and fire baptism of Love upon us there is no going back to being enslaved and in bondage to the laws of sin and death, elemental spirits of the universe, philosophies of men, traditions of men, the world, or human precepts and doctrines (Colossians 2:8, 20-23), nor deceitful spirits and doctrines of demons (1 Timothy 4:1-5).
The old has passed away, behold the new has come! The life of the Spirit is our new life in Christ (Romans ch 8)! “For the law of the Spirit of life in Christ Jesus has set me free from the law of sin and death!” Anyone IN CHRIST is a new creation; the old fallen human being is dead! (2 Cor 5:16-18) As with Christ, we no longer regard God’s created image and likeness from a human point of view! It is no longer “I” who lives, but Christ who lives in us, for those who believe! only unbelief can keep us from our inheritance as co-heirs with Christ! simple faith! child-like awe and wonder of who our Father is, his kingdom, power and glory that has no end! doing our Father’s Will on earth as it is in heaven is our Joy!
We strive until we enter his rest, then we abide in him and he in us! True Peace! We live, move and have our being in Christ through faith for faith (Romans 1:17), from grace to grace, and glory to glory! The kingdom of the beloved Son has no end! and we who live, move and have our being in the kingdom of God, the least of these, Jesus said are greater than even the greatest prophet, John the Baptist, who came in the Spirit of Elijah to turn the hearts of the children to the Father and the Father to the children! We let the Word, Spirit and fire of God burn root to branch anything that does not bear the fruit of Christ! We are dead to the past, but alive in Christ, and the hope and future we live for is to fully know, beyond knowledge, experientially, the Love of Christ and KNOW Christ in us, the hope of glory, all the fullness of God dwelling bodily in Christ in us! Unspeakable Joy! Christ in us, the hope of glory! God bless you Kelly! May the Spirit of Truth bring us all into the Truth and Life of Christ, the Way!
P.S. after 42 years of religion (Lutheran) I was not free; after the Holy Spirit and fire baptism while reading my bible at home on my couch, Jesus manifested himself to me and asked me to come to him and find rest. I began to learn from him as I yoked with him. After many encounters, tests of faith, trials, tribulations, pain, suffering, working out the salvation Jesus gave me, won for me, with fear and trembling, I can now say I am free! When the Son sets you free, you are free indeed! For freedom Christ has set us free!
Jesus said, “stay awake with me” and I intend to stay awake with our risen, ascended, glorified King of glory forever and ever and ever! “Awake, O sleeper, and arise from the dead and Christ will give you light” He said he would, and he DID! and he DOES every morning anew, afresh! and when I see or feel darkness, I call on our Father in heaven for I know where my help comes from! I know who my Father is! the Source of all life, the Most High God who lives above the highest heavens and in those with humble hearts, who inspires me day by day, moment by moment through his Holy Spirit! His mercy, grace, glory and Goodness knows no bounds! I know my Redeemer Lives in me! He lifts me day to day as I humbly rely on God and God alone; I submit only to Christ Jesus and his Father and God. I know the Holy Spirit, who flows like a river within me, is closer than my breath; he quickens and breathes me, moves me, heals me, guides me, leads me, sensitizes me so I can be discerning, teaches me, and SO MUCH MORE!
I pause, selah, and his Presence is ALWAYS here within. Amazing Grace! Jesus says, “I will NEVER leave you nor forsake you!” “Whither I go…there is your Presence!” Simple faith! Child-like awe and wonder! The kingdom of heaven is within and I rejoice! I will never stop rejoicing for all my Savior has done for me and for all who repent and believe! I love you Abba! Father!
