Our Living Hope

Nothing is too hard for God.

With men it is impossible, but with God all things are possible.

Now may the God of hope so fill you with all joy and peace in believing, that you may abound in hope, through the power of the Holy Spirit (Romans 15:13).

“God supplies all our needs according to His riches of glory in Christ Jesus” Philippians 4:19

Come to Christ! humble yourself, repent, surrender all of you, and receive all of Christ, to be one with our God and Father. Cast out and off all elemental spirits of the universe (Colossians 2:8, 20), false gods/goddesses, statues, images (Romans 1:23), idols, idolatry, adultery (join your spirit only to Holy Spirit; marry your soul only to glorified Christ Jesus; give your living body in spiritual worship to be indwelt by the Spirit of God and his glory). Cast out all counterfeits, darkness disguised as light, and servants of lucifer disguised as servants of righteousness; be filled with the Holy Spirit and fire of God (2 Cor 11:14-15).

“Bow your knees before the Father of every family in heaven and on earth; according to the riches of his glory, granted to be strengthened with might through His Spirit in your inner man, that Christ may dwell in your heart through faith; rooted and grounded in love, have power to comprehend with all the saints the breadth, length, height and depth, and to know the love of Christ which surpasses knowledge to be filled with all the fullness of God. Now to Him who by the power at work within you is able to do far more abundantly that all we can ask or think to give God the glory” Ephesians 3:14-21

“If you can believe, all things are possible to those that believe” Mark 9:23

Ask and receive Holy Spirit to give you eyes to see, ears to hear, and a heart to spiritually perceive; training our senses to discern good from evil. Only Christ can deliver you from evil and the dominion of darkness, transfer you to the kingdom of the Son, and unveil you to see and receive the glory Jesus received from our Father, to be one with God, the Lamb, the Christ, the Son, as bride, wife of the Lamb: one blood, body and Spirit with the King of Glory (1 John 5:7-21).

The imperishable seed of the Words of Jesus, coming from the Father of glory, into our circumcised heart, grow with water from the River of life at the throne. The Son of righteousness rises in our spirit, soul and body; the Heavenly Sun heals and sets us free to go forth leaping with joy in the Holy Spirit. The holy fire of God removes the weeds, dross, chaff, rust; impurities come to the surface to be removed so only the gold refined by fire remains within. The Holy Spirit and fire River keeps the heart of Christ renewed in us, dissolving the old, so the new life in Christ can be sustained and maintained for God’s glory. The kingdom of God within is righteousness and peace and joy in the Holy Spirit (Romans 14:17). The kingdom is NOT food and drink; it is the Word and Spirit within you.

“For the Lord God is a sun and a shield: the LORD gives you grace and glory; no good thing will he withhold from you who walk uprightly” Psalm 84:11

“Hope deferred makes the heart sick, but a desire fulfilled is a tree of life…a desire fulfilled is sweet to the soul” Proverbs 13:12, 19

God gives us both the desire and power to fulfill; both grace and glory to behold and be changed into the image and likeness of Christ.

TAKE delight in the Lord and be given the desires of your heart. Commit your way to our Eternal Father; trust and he will act. There is a River whose streams make glad the city of God (Christ in your humble heart), the holy habitation of the Most High. God is in the midst of her; she shall not be moved. Be still and KNOW. (Psalm 37:4-5; Psalm 46:4-10)

The kingdom of Christ within you cannot be shaken; the old heaven and earth pass away, but the new heaven and new earth: the righteousness of Christ in you, the Word written on the mind of your heart NEVER passes away.

“As you think in your heart, so you are” Proverbs 23:7 NKJV

Come to Christ; eat of His perfect Word and drink of His holy Spirit; abide in Christ and receive Christ in you as salt and light: salt preserves your soul in Christ, and Christ in you is your light; the Lamb is your lamp.

Hear and do the Word by the Spirit of God!

“Abide in Me, and I in you” John 15:4

“Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who hath blessed us with all spiritual blessings in heavenly places in Christ” Ephesians 1:3

God tests our hearts, refines the gold, anoints our eyes, gives us the white wedding garment when we say yes to the wife of the Lamb: one Blood with the Father and his Lamb; say yes to the Bride: one body and one Spirit with Christ, who is one with the Father. “In that day you will know that I am in my Father, and you in me, and I in you.” The Word is Faithful, Trustworthy and True: Faithworthy!

The King of kings and Lord of lords, the Word of God, is a Sword of the Spirit to slay evil, hear and do the works of Jesus and greater works BECAUSE he is with our Father, sending those who belong to Christ, another Counselor, the Spirit of Truth of the Lord, Wisdom and Understanding, Counsel and Might, Knowledge of God and Glory, reverential Awe, Wonder, Miracles, Faith, Healing, Prophesy (the testimony of Jesus), Discernment, Words of Wisdom and Knowledge; bearing fruits of Righteousness, Light, and Spirit: love, peace, joy, gentleness, goodness, kindness, patience, faithfulness and self-control.

God did NOT give you a spirit of fear BUT a Spirit of Love, a Spirit of Power and a Sound Mind (Christ’s Mind of God). NOT by your spirit or will power, but by Christ Spirit in you, says the Lord! We can do nothing apart from the Vine of God. Join your spirit to Holy Spirit and fire of God; yoke your soul (heart, mind, will) to Christ; learn to rest in God, letting the power of God work in and through you.

Christ will unveil you so you can see the glory to be changed! to be salt and light in Christ and Christ in you; to be who God says you are, NOT who the world says you are. God changes our insides so we can begin to reflect, radiate, arise, shine Christ’s glory and light: the presence in the Spirit, by the Spirit; being born again of God, of the water of life and the Spirit, baptized by Holy Spirit and fire that consumes the old creation; dissolves the old Adamic nature and forms Christ in you by the Holy Spirit, to partake of divine nature (2 Peter 1:3-4, 19; 3:11-14).

“It is God’s pleasure to give you the Kingdom”

“The kingdom of God is righteousness and peace and joy in the Holy Spirit”

“A new heaven and a new earth is where righteousness dwells”

You are the righteousness of God in Christ and Christ in you is a NHOEN. Come to Christ, drink of His River from the throne; eat of His Words to receive the imperishable seed to grow into the Vine that connects heaven and earth, making you a part of the Vineyard of God, tended by the Holy Spirit and fire; removing the old, forming the new. This is the living hope: substance and assurance of glory when you come to Christ and receive; open when you hear the “knock,” see the glory, behold, and be changed.

The light begins to shine as you yield to the Holy Spirit and fire; awake and arise from the dead into resurrected life of Christ, baptized into Christ; the Holy One anointing teaches you everything true and no lie. God’s Word is perfect; God’s Spirit is holy; the Word and Spirit of Christ in you is holy and perfect. When the perfect comes, the imperfect passes away; as long as you yield and let the King of kings and Lord of lords rule and reign in you. “We are weak IN HIM, but live WITH HIM by the power of God. Examine yourselves to see whether you are holding to your Faith. Test yourselves. Do you not REALIZE that Jesus Christ is in you — UNLESS you fail to meet the test!” (2 Corinthians 13:4-5).

Christ in you is the living hope of glory. We proclaim Jesus ascended and glorified, warning and teaching in all wisdom to present beloveds MATURE in Christ, the Living Holy One, with all the energy Christ mightily inspires; hearts knit to Christ with all the riches of grace, glory, understanding, and knowledge of God’s mysteries of Christ, in whom are hid ALL the treasures of wisdom and knowledge. So receive Christ, live IN HIM, rooted and built up IN HIM, established in Faith, abounding in thanksgiving. Come to fullness of life IN CHRIST. Do not submit to ANYTHING but God our Father; yield to the Holy Spirit; be led by the Spirit of God (Colossians 1:25-10; 3:1-17; Romans 8:14).

We take the water of life without price and the Spirit and Bride come down from heaven to form Christ in you; take by faith through grace, that becomes experience beyond knowledge, to know the Love of Christ, to be filled with all the fullness, to become all God says you are, to be in Christ and Christ in you (John 10:10; John 15:4).

All the fullness of the Godhead dwells in Christ, and we come to fullness of His resurrected life. Christ is the Head of all rule and authority who circumcises our hearts to live within; crucifying Adam, burying Adam’s nature for Christ rising in us, baptized by Holy Spirit and fire; made alive together with Christ; forgiven; bond and legal demands canceled, nailed to the Cross outside of Christ; principalities and powers DISARMED in Christ, triumphing over them in Christ in you. Amazing Glory!

The old covenant is type and shadow: external, physical, literal. The new covenant of Christ in the Father, and you in Christ, and Christ in you, is substance and Spirit, united/joined/yoked to Christ inwardly, a matter of the heart, spiritual, not literal (Romans 2:28-29); your whole body nourished by the Word and the Spirit, knit together with Christ, growing with the growth from God. (Colossians 2:9-119)

Christ is the Vine in God’s Vineyard; Christ in you is the Vine whose branches bear much fruit; Holy Spirit and fire keep the unfruitful branches consumed in the fire and forming new righteous branches, full of oil and fire power, eyes of wisdom of Holy Spirit and glory, the River of Christ from the throne into you becoming a fountain of Christ overflowing the water of resurrection life, rivers of living water flowing from you; a new sea of Living Water.

The Living Hope does not disappoint! the physical facts of living life apart from Christ Life of God MUST BOW to the spiritual Truth of Christ in you — if indeed you go through the floods, flames and fire that rage against your Faith, to go through the narrow gate by letting the fire dissolve all that is not of Christ, into the promised Land of Christ in you, the new Spiritual Heavenly Place and new form: substance of Christ and Spirit of God (Colossians 2:17). Let no one disqualify you; come to Christ and abide by faith through grace through the power of the Spirit of God. “Christ is both the Wisdom and the Power of God” 1 Cor 1:24

“The presence of God is the source of your life in Christ Jesus, whom God made OUR wisdom, OUR righteousness and sanctification and redemption” 1 Cor 1:29-30

“We impart a secret and hidden wisdom of God which God decreed before the ages for OUR glorification…God reveals to us THROUGH THE SPIRIT” 1 Cor 2:7-16

God’s plan for us is greater than we could plan for ourselves.
