ARE WE TO BECOME PERFECT NOW?

Now is all, as there is no past and there is no future, now is the state in which all things that are created exist and when we have risen or ascended into perfection in the now, then we will be in heaven. Heaven is a state of awareness within our own vessels, it is a state of timelessness, it is the place we ascend to when we have overcome all, in this time realm. Heaven is when we graduate from our school master called law and time by grace in the classroom of earthly trials, into the liberty and peace of heaven on earth, where we behold only spiritual realities that were in the beginning before the world was.

It is good at this time to pray and ask God to open our carnal minds to the spiritual Truths which lay hidden from us and ask Him to help us set our minds on the spirit, where we enter into the timeless realm of heaven.

Pray the following prayer from your heart and not your mind expecting to receive revelation from the Holy spirit as angels touch you and open your spiritual rapport with God, your heavenly door.

" Holy spirit of God I ask for my mind to be opened to your Truth, I ask to see with the eye of my heart and hear with my spirit man, teach me all Truth in Jesus name, AMEN"

From the beginning God has said to mankind be perfect as I am perfect. God has purposed for us not to be perfect in our own nature and allowed us to fall, only to show us a way to bring us back into perfection. He subjected us all to the vanity of our minds in hope of total restoration of all mankind, everyone born of a woman will be restored and brought back from the dead.

God has made us all in the eternal realm and we are perfect, we are spirit and we all are the offspring of God. We all have been cast into a body of death because of the SIN of man brought through Adam. Sin has been imputed to us all and we all have been appointed to death through Sin. So this is an interesting situation to be in. We are perfect in our origin, flawed by inheritance and seemingly lost and without hope in the world. Jesus is our redeemer and our hope, He is the one who came and died to remove our sin and when we have received Christ the spirit of God then we are without SIN. Throughout the Bible we see God saying to be perfect as I am perfect and yet we seem powerless and unable to reach perfection. God said to Abraham, walk before Me, and be thou perfect. God has given this message to Kings and leaders of Israel throughout time and the same has been said to us all as we feel the voice of God touch us and correct us in life's journey.

IKing 8:61
61 Let your heart therefore be perfect with the LORD our God, to walk in his statutes, and to keep his commandments, as at this day.
(KJV)

We can not be perfect in our own identity because our own nature is evil and our hearts are deceitful. This is the nature that we inherited from our forebears and it cannot be perfect no matter how hard we try with our feeble efforts, we are inherently bad and sinful yet our true nature given in the beginning is perfect. Adam before he fell and passed death to us all was covered with the righteousness and glory of God and was made in the image and after the likeness of God. This is our potential and our true heritage, this is our lineage, which goes beyond our natural parents Adam and Eve.

Our false identity or the image we have of ourselves needs to be put away from us and we need to be restored to the image and likeness of God for we are His offspring and we are in the school of learning, we are being perfected by the things we suffer. If we have not received Christ as our new identity then we suffer thinking that we ourselves are suffering and this is a justified thought because we do not know that we are to put to death our false identity that can suffer and feel hurt. When we know that we can reprogram our identity with the person of Christ who knows no hurts and pains or suffering because He is perfect,  Jesus overcoming by the things that He suffered and becoming the captain of our salvation, then we can surrender all of ourselves and become all of Christ.
 

Heb 2:9-10
9 But we see Jesus, who was made a little lower than the angels for the suffering of death, crowned with glory and honour; that he by the grace of God should taste death for every man.
10 For it became him, for whom are all things, and by whom are all things, in bringing many sons unto glory, to make the captain of their salvation perfect through sufferings.
(KJV)
 

Heb 5:9
9 And being made perfect, he became the author of eternal salvation unto all them that obey him;
(KJV)

1 Pet 5:10-11
10 And after you have suffered for a little while, the God of all grace, who called you to His eternal glory in Christ, will Himself perfect, confirm, strengthen {and} establish you.
11 To Him {be} dominion forever and ever. Amen.
(NAS)

Matt 5:48
48 "Therefore you are to be perfect, as your heavenly Father is perfect.
(NAS)

Jesus suffered, was perfected and  made obedient by the things He suffered in the flesh. He was born of a woman under the law and He overcame and came out of His carnality or His flesh nature, Jesus put on the mind of Christ and did the will of the Father who sent Him. Jesus came to show us the way into Heaven on earth, by our overcoming of our inherited nature of carnality. Jesus broke through or rent the veil of the Temple which was His own blindness, which was inherited from His own mother. This veil was the consciousness of sin within the human vessel, Jesus never sinned but He was aware of the nature that He had and He continued to do the will of His Father even unto death on a cross. We all have the same sinless nature within us but it is hidden. Jesus is the true light that lights every person who comes into the world and He is in us as the fallen nature but when we seek Him then He appears in us a second time without sin unto salvation. We need to receive the quickening power of Christ into our minds to regenerate or come back to our true identity which was lost in Adam. Jesus is the resurrection and Jesus is the last Adam who was resurrected from the dead. We all are Adam and in death because of trespass and sin in our lives but when we receive the life giving spirit of Christ, then we are being resurrected from the dead.
 

We are told that we can be transformed by the renewing of our minds. We need to put on the mind of Christ which is to do the will of the Father who sent us. Many Christians say that we will never be perfect until Jesus returns and this is true but Jesus returns as we become perfect.

Rom 12:2
2 And do not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind, that you may prove what the will of God is, that which is good and acceptable and perfect.
(NAS)

 We are told to take every thought captive to the obedience of Christ and it is only when we can stop thinking thoughts from our old nature and start receiving revelation from His nature that we start to transform and come back to the perfection that we had in the beginning. We can not make our old nature perfect neither can we do the work ourselves it is the work of the Lord as we surrender our self and become Christ by partaking of His divine nature.

Ps 101:2
2 I will behave wisely in a perfect way. Oh, when will You come to me? I will walk within my house with a perfect heart.
(NKJ)

We need to see that this world we live in is not perfect and neither will it be while we continue to live out of our Adamic mindset with all of our false gods like money, possessions, fears, lusts and idols. We tend to see only material things and not even consider the spiritual treasures that lay hidden in Christ. We need to be made perfect now to reach heaven on earth and only we can do it, as we decide to follow Jesus.

Matt 19:21
21 Jesus said to him, "If you want to be perfect, go, sell what you have and give to the poor, and you will have treasure in heaven; and come, follow Me."(NKJ)
 

Eph 2:4-9
4 But God, who is rich in mercy, because of His great love with which He loved us,
5 even when we were dead in trespasses, made us alive together with Christ (by grace you have been saved),
6 and raised us up together, and made us sit together in the heavenly places in Christ Jesus,
7 that in the ages to come He might show the exceeding riches of His grace in His kindness toward us in Christ Jesus.
8 For by grace you have been saved through faith, and that not of yourselves; it is the gift of God,
9 not of works, lest anyone should boast.
(NKJ)
 

 When Jesus died on the cross as an offering for sin and abolished death and sin for all, then He gave us all a gift and most of us do not even see the gift. If you are not a believer in Jesus then you probably do not even know that you are a sinner and in need of a saviour, you probably think that death is normal and just a part of life but you do need to see the hope that Jesus has given us all by His sacrifice. When you do decide to follow Jesus then you will need to know of the gift and how to unfold it and embrace it or it will remain just an idol and something of little value to you, a worthless package like it is to so many Christians today who have not bothered to open it and receive the life that is inside of it.

My dearly beloved brothers and sisters in the world and in Christ we need the gift that Jesus has given us, it is not to be kept on the shelf to perish along with the life it can save. There was a very expensive box of perfume mentioned in the Bible which was broken open and used to anoint Jesus for His burial. There came a time when it just had to be opened as it remained worthless unless it was used and it was used for the blessed Saviour Jesus at His hour of greatest need. We too need to open the gift that He gave us and have the oil of life pour over us in the time of our greatest need which is right NOW. Do not hesitate in asking for, receiving, opening and using the greatest gift given to man. When we had sin imputed to us we had no choice and death has been thrust upon us all but this gift of imputed righteousness is a choice and one which we must seize now with both hands and appropriate into our lives until we are reconciled unto God and become righteous as He is righteous.

Once we have received the Word of God and conceived of Christ then we are Christ and no longer who we thought we were. We are no longer sinners but Christ, we have moved from Adam consciousness into Christ consciousness and our new identity is Christ. We need to feed the seed, which the promise was made to and allow the outer man or the old nature to be put to death. We need to know that we have His righteousness and that we are everything that Jesus is. This can only become a reality in our lives as we willfully feed Christ and deny self. We will find that the past will no longer be alive in our minds but that everything will be made new moment by moment in the new identity that we have received, Christ. It is like all the spiritual memories which are making up our mind are being wiped out one by one and a new connection to the mind of God is being formed. We are recalling the person that we were before time began and forgetting the person who we became by inheritance and the influences of the world. We are willingly dismantling our ego which does not want to die and allowing our true identity to come back. The separated mind that was alienated from God, lost and alone and without hope in this world, which was trying to survive on it's own, struggling with all other self minds for control and recognition now is able to say, " hey I have found who I really am, I have found myself, I am of worth and I have righteousness, I don't have to prove myself to anybody, I am who I am, I am a child of the living God and I am secure in His hands. I no longer have to work to find approval in the eyes of God, I no longer have to make my own righteousness to be worthy, Jesus has given me His righteousness and I am standing on all that He did for me, as He helps me become the same in reality in my own life as I die to self and eat of Him."

When we live the divine life then we have no death, suffering, sickness, lack, limitation, we want for nothing for all is made perfect by the righteousness we have in Him.

2 Cor 5:17-19
17 Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation; old things have passed away; behold, all things have become new.
18 Now all things are of God, who has reconciled us to Himself through Jesus Christ, and has given us the ministry of reconciliation,
19 that is, that God was in Christ reconciling the world to Himself, not imputing their trespasses to them, and has committed to us the word of reconciliation.
(NKJ)

Col 1:19-22
19 For it pleased the Father that in Him all the fullness should dwell,
20 and by Him to reconcile all things to Himself, by Him, whether things on earth or things in heaven, having made peace through the blood of His cross.
21 And you, who once were alienated and enemies in your mind by wicked works, yet now He has reconciled
22 in the body of His flesh through death, to present you holy, and blameless, and above reproach in His sight--
(NKJ)

1 Cor 2:14
14 But the natural man does not receive the things of the Spirit of God, for they are foolishness to him; nor can he know them, because they are spiritually discerned.
(NKJ)

We need to believe even as the natural man and allow the faith of Christ to come to us, for it is His faith and not our own that allows us to have a faith in Jesus. His faith is already within you but it needs to hear Christ speak to it and call it back to life. For when Christ hears Christ then you will know that you are Christ. Receive the engrafted Word which is able to save your soul.

Rom 3:26
26 To declare, I say, at this time his righteousness: that he might be just, and the justifier of him which believeth in Jesus.
(KJV)

Rom 4:2-5
2 For if Abraham was justified by works, he has something to boast about, but not before God.
3 For what does the Scripture say? "Abraham believed God, and it was accounted to him for righteousness."
4 Now to him who works, the wages are not counted as grace but as debt.
5 But to him who does not work but believes on Him who justifies the ungodly, his faith is accounted for righteousness,
(NKJ)

God called Abram out of the world of idols and asked him to walk before Him and be perfect and we are to do the same. Abram believed God and it was counted as righteousness. When we believe God and the Word of God then it is counted as righteousness and we receive His faith which allows us to receive Him and His righteousness as a free gift. We can never be perfect in our old nature, our human nature. We need His divine nature which is a free gift as we eat of His flesh and drink of His blood. We have no part in Christ unless we partake of His divine nature and put our nature to the cross. We are dead in Christ and resurrected in Christ and we all need to be reconciled to God even as Jesus has conciled all things to God on our behalf. God sees us as having the righteousness of His Son Jesus and we now have to become as Jesus is to make it a reality.

The Bible says that there will come a time at the end of the ages when every knee will bow to Jesus and every tongue will confess that Jesus Christ is Lord to the glory of God the Father and that His glory will fill the whole earth. Christ returns to us when we accept the gift and unpack it and use it to restore the life that was lost in Adam. Christ left Adam when he sinned and all died but Christ returns to us all when we receive Him by faith and receive His righteousness which restores life to every man. For as in Adam all died even so in Christ shall all be made alive.

Now is the time to become perfect and ascend to the heaven in earth by the renewing of your mind as you empty your old mind and put on the mind of Christ. We are to work out our own salvation with fear and trembling, laying hold on eternal life, running the race of time, setting our mind on the spirit, diligently seeking the Kingdom and His righteousness, moving past the childish things of faith and move forward into the mysteries of God seeking the unsearchable riches that are in Christ Jesus, revealing the treasures that lay hidden in the darkness, taking the Kingdom by force and hungering and thirsting for God and all that He is. Now is the time that has been ordained from the beginning of time for the Kingdom to come on earth. NOW is the only time to say yes to Jesus and to grow into Him. When time is no more then we will be in the eternal NOW.
 

2 Pet 1:2-8
2 Grace and peace be multiplied to you in the knowledge of God and of Jesus our Lord,
3 as His divine power has given to us all things that pertain to life and godliness, through the knowledge of Him who called us by glory and virtue,
4 by which have been given to us exceedingly great and precious promises, that through these you may be partakers of the divine nature, having escaped the corruption that is in the world through lust.
5 But also for this very reason, giving all diligence, add to your faith virtue, to virtue knowledge,
6 to knowledge self-control, to self-control perseverance, to perseverance godliness,
7 to godliness brotherly kindness, and to brotherly kindness love.
8 For if these things are yours and abound, you will be neither barren nor unfruitful in the knowledge of our Lord Jesus Christ.
(NKJ)

1Thes 5:23-24
23 Now may the God of peace Himself sanctify you completely; and may your whole spirit, soul, and body be preserved blameless at the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ.
24 He who calls you is faithful, who also will do it.
(NKJ)
