Topic: Oneness with Christ and the Creation
Greetings Sons of God:
As we continue from our previous message let me lead with
this Scripture:
Romans 8:19-23: For
the earnest expectation of the creature waiteth for the manifestation of the
sons of God. For the creature was made
subject to vanity, not willingly, but by reason of him who hath subjected the
same in hope, because the creature itself also shall be delivered from the
bondage of corruption into the glorious liberty of the children of God. For we know that the whole creation groaneth
and travaileth in pain together until now.
And not only they, but ourselves also which have the firstfruits of the
Spirit, even we ourselves groan within ourselves, waiting for the adoption, to
wit, the redemption of our body.
The release of the sons of God is simultaneously creating a
progressive release for all of creation.
In our Scripture in Romans it says the creation is in bondage and
corruption and is awaiting the glorious liberty of the children of God. To see this we cannot use our mind, me must
use the eyes of the Spirit. Understand
as the sons of God change so does the age that we are living in:
1 Colossians 1:26,27:
Even the mystery which hath been hid from the ages and from generations,
but now is made manifest to his saints:
To whom God would make known what is the riches of the glory of this
mystery among the Gentiles; which is Christ in you the hope of glory:
Now because we are talking about oneness we cannot forget
those saints that have gone ahead to be in the presence of the Father. In a previous message we gave you the
Scripture in Hebrews 11:38-Hebrews 12:1 that speaks of the Cloud of Witnesses
that are urging and cheering us on to finish the race. They are groaning just as we are. You may say how? They are in the presence of the Lord! Why would they be groaning? Hebrews 11:40 says that they (Cloud of
Witnesses), without us, should not be made perfect. Of course in Hebrews 12 it tells us to lay
aside every weight, and the sin which doth easily beset us. The House of God is not just in Heaven but it
is on Earth and the House of God must be built in the Earth because that was
the original placement by Christ for the sons and that is the place that they
will live our their purposes predestined by Christ as Kings and Priests in the
earth. The church is one! There are not two churches, one in heaven and
one in earth. One Church! The Cloud of
Witnesses release is tied to our release.
Finally, our oneness with God. Jesus prayed this and sums this up
wonderfully:
John 17:21-23: That
they all may be one; as thou, Father, art in me, and I in thee, that they also
may be one in us: that the world may believe that thou hast sent me. And the glory which thou gavest me I have
given them; that they may be one, even as we are one. I in them, and thou in
me, that they may be made perfect in one; and that the world may know that thou
hast sent me, and hast loved them as thou hast loved me.
Just as Jesus walked in the Earth and had that oneness with
the Father, Jesus is praying that we walk in the same manner, position and
glory. Now do not just blow by
this! Think about it! Many people today
say: I am not Jesus, I cannot be exactly like Him! But Jesus, the Son of God is praying to the
Father that we have the same glory He had!
Do you think Jesus prayer was going to fail or not come to pass? He is the Word of God in the flesh and the
Bible says it will accomplish all that He set it out to do. The question is do
you have the desire to be a willing participate?
In this season God is summing up all things in Christ, the
only missing link is us! This is what is tied into the manifestation of the
sons in the Earth:
1. Perfection and release of the Cloud
of Witnesses in Heaven
2. The Creation liberated from the
bondage of corruption by the enemy
3. The Sons will rule and reign
righteously and judge as written.
4. Return of the Lord – He must appear
within the sons before He will appear before everyone else.
There is a mighty mandate in this season and the Father
desires for you to be a part of this great release. He will not force you but the reward is too
great not to desire to be a part of what God is doing within us and through
us. The time is now! The season is
now! Let us walk in the glorious light
of the Lord.
Peace, Love and Grace,
Calvin Calhoun, Jr.
