Life in Christ Jesus Podcast

The scripture tells us that The Church is His Body the fullness of Him that fills all in all.  This is a remarkable statement.  In the Church is the fullness or completion of Christ.  May it actually be saying the is His completion?  A thought I have is the work Jesus did resulted in the Church.   He completed the Church through His death, burial, and resurrection.  We the Church are His new creat...

I Corinthians 3: 9 “For we are God’s fellow workers; you are God’s field, you are God’s building.  10 According to the grace of God which was given to me, as a wise master builder I have laid the foundation, and another builds on it. But let each one take heed how he builds on it.  11 For no other foundation can anyone lay than that which is laid, which is Jesus Christ.  12 Now if anyone builds on...

Solomon said there was no new thing under the sun.  In other words, the things of man are the same.  He said all is vanity and vexation of spirit.  We could say that this is a sad state of affairs for the sons of men.   Now the Apostle Paul saw a light brighter than the new day son.  He come to a greater light.  He began to see the Wisdom and Power of God through this Light who is Christ. Here man...

Christ is the power of God that takes us from Adam, a man laden in sin, into the life of the Spirit.  We are moved from the humanity of the Old Man into the New Man, who is Christ.  It is His Power in us that brings us there and transforms us to His Image.  So  much can be said to Christ the power of God.  Glory to the Living God!  May His Name be Exalted in ALL the earth!  

How is Christ the Power of God?  Simple, he moves us from a dead man into a Living expression of God.  Christ in you is God's power in you.  This power of God brings us into the image of God's dear Son!  Glory to God!

Paul's prayer was that the heart would be enlightened in the knowledge of Christ.  Consider for a moment the transition.  As a man or woman we were born in Adam (natural creation).  Our heart was in that knowledge.  We lived in that knowledge.  Now Paul's cry is that we come to the knowledge of another.  We come there through Christ being revealed in us!   May God reveal His Son in Us.  Glory to G...

Jesus says, recorded in John 14, "if you have seen me you have seen the Father also."  In Matthew's Gospel it is declared that Peter says, "thou art the Christ the Son of the living God."  This declaration comes from a Revelation of the Spirit of God and not of Peter's own ability.  In Galatians 1, The Apostle Paul declares that God revealed His Son IN him.  And finally in II Corinthians Chapter I...

The Revelation of Jesus Christ VI – His Appearing Unto Expression In John 16 it is written by the Apostle John that Jesus said, the Holy Spirit will take that of Him and show it unto us.  This is how we express that of Christ.  The Spirit of God reveals that of Him in us.  He shows Christ to us to transform our hearts and minds to that of Him.  We come to know by the Spirit that of Christ, to be t...

Christ was revealed to all Israel at John's Baptism.  The Jews were gathered to John at His Baptism.  Here is where Christ was first revealed to them at the water, "Behold the Lamb of God that takes away the sin of the world." Also, "This is my beloved Son in whom I am well pleased."  If we can here it, John said he must decrease and Christ must increase.  Here in this statement is taking away and...

This is a very important sharing of the Lord.  I recommend any listeners spend some time with this recording and listen intently.  I believe the Lord will speak clearly to the heart in regards to our union with Him, and all things of Christ which we have inherited.  In this study, we are looking at the coming of the Lord Jesus Christ in the Church.  In 1 Corinthians 1, Paul says to the Corinthians...

1Corinthians "1:4 I thank my God always on your behalf, for the grace of God which is given you by Jesus Christ; 5 That in every thing ye are enriched by him, in all utterance, and in all knowledge; 6 Even as the testimony of Christ was confirmed in you: 7 So that ye come behind in no gift; waiting for the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ: 8 Who shall also confirm you unto the end, that ye may be b...

This series is dealing with Christ revealed in His Church.  Paul said when it pleased God, who separated him from his mother's womb and called him by His Grace, to reveal his Son in Him.  In Paul's writings, he is dealing with Christ revealed in the believer, Christ revealed in the Church.     Peter declared "Thou art the Christ, the Son of the Living God."  Jesus said to Him, "flesh and blood did...

In King Solomon's day all of the rest of God flowed unto all of the House of Israel.  Solomon brought up the furniture into the House of God at the Feast of Tabernacles.  All of the children of Israel was gathered to the offerings without measure, the greatness of the Temple, the filling of the House with the Glory Cloud.  Israel was called up to God's Glory and rest which was known in the land in...

1Ki 8:1 "Then Solomon assembled the elders of Israel, and all the heads of the tribes, the princes of the fathers' houses of the children of Israel, unto king Solomon in Jerusalem, to bring up the ark of the covenant of Jehovah out of the city of David, which is Zion. 2 And all the men of Israel assembled themselves unto king Solomon at the feast, in the month Ethanim, which is the seventh month....

What would be greater than His fullness?  Unfortunately, in our minds we may see many things greater than Him.  Much of this is because of how we were taught.  We have been taught that streets of gold, gates of pearl and so forth are the prize.  We don't understand that all of these things are declaring the quality of Christ, the fullness of His life, which is now in us.   Jesus prayed in John 17...

2Co 3:13  And not as Moses, which put a vail over his face, that the children of Israel could not stedfastly look to the end of that which is abolished: 14 But their minds were blinded: for until this day remaineth the same vail untaken away in the reading of the old testament; which vail is done away in Christ. 15 But even unto this day, when Moses is read, the vail is upon their heart. 16 Nevert...

The Atonement - The Presence Jesus ascended back unto the Father.  In John 17 it is recorded that He prayed, Father glorify me with thyself with the glory I had with the before the world was.  What is God's self?  God is a Spirit.  God is Light.  God is Love.  God is a consuming fire.  Jesus went back into what God is.     In Hebrews 9, the Bible says that He appears in the Presence of God for us....

The Book of Hebrews 9 says, Christ appears the second time unto salvation.  Many look at this as a natural appearing of the Lord Jesus.  However, the second appearing can  be seen as the New Creation, Christ in you.  He appears to our salvation.  This appearing is in our hearts.     His appearing is our salvation.  In His appearing we begin to see our salvation.  For example, we see we are righteo...

Our concepts of Heaven can be expanded by the Spirit of God.  If we look closely at Hebrews 9, we can see that the offering of Jesus Christ is a Heavenly thing.  The Old Testament Tabernacle was a type of the Heavenly Ministry of Christ.  All that was happening in the Tabernacle was speaking of the Heavenlies.   Heb 9:21  Moreover he sprinkled with blood both the tabernacle, and all the vessels of...

The word atonement means to appease or satisfy.  It also means a covering.  We are clothed upon with Christ.  Here is where God is satisfied, our being clothed in Him.    Now in Hebrews 9, a scripture that has been quoted often, “He shall appear the second time unto salvation.”  This scripture has been quoted pertaining to Jesus’ coming.  Ok, how does He appear the second time?  How is He coming? ...

If I could compel all the Body of Christ to hear the Ministry of the Lord that is in me, this would be one of the sharings I would have every born again believer hear.  I believe it is one of the most important understandings that we come to.  We do not live unto ourselves.  Look closely at Hebrews 9:6 below with this in mind.      Hebrews 9:6 Now when these things were thus ordained, the priests...

The Atonement IV - Atonement and the Tabernacle   Hebrews 9:11 “But Christ being come an high priest of good things to come, by a greater and more perfect tabernacle, not made with hands, that is to say, not of this building; 12 Neither by the blood of goats and calves, but by his own blood he entered in once into the holy place, having obtained eternal redemption for us.”    Christ entered the Ho...

At the Brazen Altar the animal sacrifice was left.  No animals came beyond the Altar, only the High Priest with the Blood of the sacrifice.  What does this mean?  Why was there an offering where the animal was completely put away?   In Revelation 1, John fell at the feet of Christ as dead.  His feet were as burnished brass.  Here is where John came to the brazen altar and found himself to be dead....

Israel lived in what their High Priest did.  Their society centered around the High Priest.  Everything as a nation centered in the Temple, the Feasts, The Priesthood, the Presence of God.  And One Time a Year the High Priest entered the Holy Place with the Blood of the Offering for a path of acceptance to God.  Not a God far away, but the God whose presence was in the Temple.  Glory to God.     N...

WE have just looked at the Blowing of the Trumpets, and saw them as the announcement of the Day.  The voice, what the Voice of the Trumpet declared.  The Voice of Christ.  What He declares, "That they may be One, I in them, thou in me, that they be made perfect in one."   What an atonement.  We have been made one with Him in His Atonement for our souls.  What a glorious day.
