"Eye hath not seen, nor ear heard, neither have entered into the heart of man the things which God hath prepared for them that love Him." Oh, the revelation of the simplicity of the Gospel of Good News, is truly the most amazing and Glorious Truth revealed unto man. "Christ in you, the Hope of Glory!!!" What a God we serve!!! What a Gospel we share as children, sons and daughters of the Living Word!!! The Word of God!!! The image of His very Being!!! For is not the SON the "express image" of the FATHER!!!? The FATHER of TRUTH?!!! For is not the SON, JESUS CHRIST, SON of the Living God, the WAY, the TRUTH, and the LIGHT?!!! Has He not given unto us the POWER to become sons of the Living God?!!! Living Epistles if you will!!!
What a DAY of rejoicing this is, to proclaim the GOOD NEWS of REDEMPTION, even of RECONCILIATION, bringing those who fell to the "darkness of their own understanding", the "darkness" of their own ways, the "darkness" of the ways of this world, the ways of confusion, the ways of "babel", which became a temple of their own making. A veritable fortress of delusion and despair, and yet we have the privledge of speaking to them the Word of Life, in the Spirit of Truth, that they might have hope once again, and JOY in the God of their salvation!!!
"But we speak the wisdom of God in a mystery, even the hidden wisdom which God ordained before the world for our glory, wisdom which none of the princes of this world knew; for had they known it, they would not have crucified the Lord of Glory." I Cor. 2. 7-8
For I ask you, what is this "BREATH of LIFE"?!!! Who is this BREATH of LIFE, that was literally "breathed" into us? What exactly is it that has empowered us to "become" sons of the Living God?!!! Is it not the Spirit who gives life? Is it not the Spirit who "searcheth all things, yea, the deep things of God"? "For what man knoweth the things of a man, except the spirit of man which is in him? Even so no man knoweth the things of God, but the Spirit of God. Now we have received, not the spirit of the world, but the Spirit which is of God, that we might know the things that are freely given to us by God. These things also we speak, not in the words which man's wisdom teacheth, but which the Holy Spirit teacheth, comparing spiritual things with spiritual. But the natural man receiveth not the things of the Spirit of God, for they are foolishness unto him; neither can he know them, because they are spiritually discerned. But he that is spiritual judgeth all things, yet he himself is judged by no man. For who hath known the mind of the Lord, that he may instruct Him? But we have the "MIND OF CHRIST"." 1 COR. 2.10 - 16
For I say once again, "Eye hath not seen, nor ear heard, neither have entered into the heart of man the things which God hath prepared for them that love Him." But "God hath revealed them unto us by His Spirit. For the Spirit searcheth all things, yea, the deep things of God." I COR. 2. 9 & 10
Oh, the Glory of the Majestic Wisdom of the Ages Himself, the FATHER expressed through His Son, His Living, Breathing, Pulsating SON, JESUS CHRIST!!! Of whom do we awaken, when we literally "wake up" to the Grace and Knowledge of the Son of the Living God!!!? Who, or where is this "hidden manna", or "hidden revelation?" Is it not "Christ in us, the Hope of Glory"?!!! Is the ANSWER not found in CHRIST JESUS, our LORD, enthroned upon the very temple of our hearts?!!! Yet, in Truth, we declare the FATHER of TRUTH, through the SON of His Word, the SON of His Wisdom, the "Mind of Christ", the WORD OF GOD, the Living Word, through His Spirit of TRUTH!!! The passing of the "old", to be brought to an end, because of the "ministration of the SPIRIT"! For are we not to be ministers of the New, not of the Old, not of the Letter, but of the Spirit; "for the letter killeth, but the Spirit giveth Life."
"Now the Lord is that Spirit; and where the Spirit of the Lord is, there is liberty. But we all with open faces beholding as in a glass the glory of the Lord, are changed into the same image, from glory to glory, even as by the Spirit of the Lord." 2 Cor. 3. 17 & 18
"For God, who commanded the light to shine out of darkness, hath shined in our hearts to give the light of the knowledge of the glory of God in the face of JESUS CHRIST." 2 Cor. 4.6
Where is this treasure? Paul stated that this "treasure" was in earthen vessels, that the excellency of the power may be from God, and not from us. Wow, think my brothers and sisters in Him, we have this treasure "IN" us!!! A treasure to "Behold"! A treasure of the wisdom and the knowledge, of our Lord and Savior JESUS CHRIST!!! Wisdom to partake of on a daily basis!!! The "Mind of Christ", the Word of God, His Living, Breathing, Pulsating Word of GLORY!!! From GLORY to GLORY we shall be clothed, understanding to the understanding of His Ways, His Truth, His Life!!! Oh, the JOY of KNOWING our LORD!!!
"For this cause we faint not, but though our outward man perish, yet the inward man is renewed day by day. For our light affliction which is but for a moment, worketh for us a far more exceeding and eternal weight of glory, while we look not at the things which are seen, but at the things which are not seen. For the things which are seen are temporal, but the things which are not seen are eternal." 2 COR. 4.16-18
So, I ask you once again, by beloved brothers and sisters, of the Living Word of God, the Living Word of Truth, where is this treasure? Where is this Wisdom, this "Mind of Christ"? "For ye are the temple of the living God. As God hath said, "I will dwell in them and walk in them; and I will be their God, and they shall be My people." Therefore, "Come out from among them, and be ye separate," saith the Lord. And touch not the unclean thing, and I will receive you, and will be a Father unto you, and ye shall be My sons and daughters," saith the Lord Almighty."
GLORY, GLORY TO THE LAMB!!! GLORY TO THE LION OF THE TRIBE OF JUDAH!!! For He has prevailed to sit upon the THRONE of the GOD MOST HIGH!!! THE HOLY ONE OF ISRAEL!!!
Did He not say, did He not declare, "I come to do the works of the FATHER", given unto Me from before the foundation of the world"? Were we not "IN" Him, even from the foundation of the world? What a Truth! Shall anything be able to separate us from the Love of God, in Christ Jesus Our Lord!!! What JOY! What a HOPE!! What a FAITH, the very substance of things unseen, yet revealed IN us!!! An eternal weight of GLORY!!! Whos' GLORY? His GLORY, revealed IN us!!! The GLORY of the everlasting FATHER, IN and THROUGH His SON, bringing many "sons" to GLORY!!! We as Paul, know both how to be abased, and how to abound. Everywhere and in all things I am instructed both how to be full and how to be hungry, both to abound and to suffer need. We can do all things through Christ who strengtheneth us."
We desire that we might be filled with the knowledge of His will in all wisdom and spirtual understanding. What is this, the "Mind of Christ", the Living Word of God, Our Father?!!! "…even the mystery which hath been hid from ages and from generations, but now is made manifest to His saints. To them God would make known what are the riches of the Glory of this mystery among the Gentiles, which is "Christ in you, the Hope of Glory!"
We must look up, take courage, be strengthened in the "inner man", "that our hearts might be comforted, being knit together in love, and possessing all the riches of the full assurance of understanding, that we may acknowledge the mystery of God, and of the Father, and of Christ, in whom are hid all the treasures of wisdom and knowledge." Col. 1.2 & 3
We must STAND STILL, and SEE with the "eyes of the spirit", the SALVATION of our God, Our Father, in whom we STAND in the SON, through the Spirit of His Mercy, and His Grace!!! We must deliberate no longer, nor be double minded, for we have the "MIND OF CHRIST"!!! The Wisdom that is Sound! The Wisdom that is Solid!!! The Wisdom founded upon the ROCK of our Salvation, JESUS CHRIST, Son of the Living God, Son of the Living and "ABIDING" Word of His TRUTH!!! Dwelling in us, the Hope of Glory!!!
He shall never leave us, or forsake us, for we are ONE, in the Spirit of His Truth, One, in the Spirit of His Wisdom, One, in the FATHER through the SON, a many membered BODY, a many membered SON, "CHRIST IN US, THE HOPE OF GLORY", and the WORD was made FLESH, and dwelt among us!!! "When CHRIST, who is our life, shall appear, then shall ye also appear with Him in GLORY"!!!
Listen now and hearken to His Living Word:
"Are you not my Living Sons of Glory? Are you not the very "apple" of Mine eye? You who are many, yet ONE in my SON!!! I encourage you this DAY, to take JOY in the God of your Salvation!!! I have brought you forth for a DAY such as this, to REST in the Living Word, that you might "hear" and "know" the sweet fragrance of My Knowledge and Grace, the GLORY that abides IN you, the fullness of my expression IN My SON, CHRIST JESUS, that fills you to the uttermost with the knowledge of My Will, with the knowledge of My Grace, with the knowledge of My WORD made flesh. You are to be Living, Breathing expressions of My Living Word, Living Epistles, read by men, that I might instill IN them the "Breath of Life", the "Breath of the Spirit of the Living God", the Sword that cuts asunder soul and marrow, that they might "hear" and "hearken" unto the TRUTH, as issued forth from my Living Sons of Glory, Sons of My Truth!!! Sons of My Wisdom!!! Sons of My Mind, the "MIND OF CHRIST", the WORD OF GOD, by the SPIRIT of My TRUTH!!! Be ye transformed by the Light of My Word, that you might grow thereby, and be nourished and fed, by the Meat of My Word, a rich sustenance that fills you and brings you to the full stature of a MAN!!! The many membered BODY of CHRIST!!! Instill others with the full bodied flavor of My WILL, My Purposes, My WAY, the only WAY of LIFE in the SPIRIT of the Living Word, and you shall be FREE, FREE to explore the treasures of the deep, CHRIST IN YOU, THE HOPE OF GLORY!!! Take delight in My Living Parousia, My Living and abiding Presence, in and amongst you as ONE, and you shall see My GLORY, the GLORY of the Holy One of Israel, in righteousness and Truth, and you shall sing out a NEW SONG, a SONG of My GLORY, a SONG of a NEW DAY, a SONG of the FRUIT of My NAME, and you shall KNOW even as you are fully KNOWN! For you shall be LIKE Me, and see me as I AM! I AM THAT I AM, the ever living, eternal, age to age abiding ROCK of the AGES, the FATHER of MERCY and TRUTH!!! For though many shall forsake you, I shall never forsake you, for you are My Sons and Daughters, in whom I AM well pleased!!!"
In Him, Catherine Heim
