Who Are You?
In the world you are a bar code. In the kingdom you bear the image of God.
You are not your feelings.
You are not your past.
Your inner man is not the age of your outer man.
Your spirit is eternal.
Your real capacity is unexplored because its a new nature that came alive the moment Christ came into your heart by the Holy Spirit.
You are no longer merely human – you possess an aspect of the divine nature. Your recreated spirit is the real you, and in that part you bear His image.
As You behold the beauty of the Lord you are changed…”But we all, with open face 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 3:18)
The ancient mirrors were actually bronze hammered flat. When the sun hit them the radiant reflection would cover your face.
The figure is one of great beauty; and the idea is, that by placing ourselves within the light of the gospel; by contemplating the glory that shines there, we become changed into the likeness of the same glory that shines on us.
The world system is called Babylon. Everybody losses their unique identity and becomes a brick, a unit- a number – in a globally controlled economic system of total surveillance. The tower of Babel was built of brick. Each brick made to fit exactly like the other brick.
The Temple of the Lord on the other hand is built of stones…”living stones” that fit together in such a way that each stone is unique.
The world pressures you to conform – make you a brick in a godless system.
The kingdom challenges the bride transforms – make you a living stone in a living temple.
You are a whole lot more than you think you are!
“When He appears you will see Him as He is and immediately be transformed to be just like Him.” (1 Jn 3:2)
Do you know why? Because you are made of the same nature and material. Your life is hidden in Christ. You only need to see Him to be like Him.
You only need to receive His words to activate what you've got.
Open the Bible and do it now. You only need to see to be.
Make sense?
You only need to see Him to be like him. The question is “How can we see Him?” He is in His heavenly throne. Our feet touch the earth. The good news is that we have access to His throne. During the worship service, one lady encouraged us saying that we don’t have to see God from a distance. John was invited to come to heaven. The voice spoke to him, “Come up here.” (Rev 4:1) Heaven is open. We are seated in Christ (Eph 2:6). We can see God up there. As we gaze the beauty of God, seated in Christ, we will be like him. I want to see God every morning. I will be like him more and more. His beauty and glory will shine upon us!
This is so good….excellent for times of warfare. Lord please imprint these words on our hearts with fresh revelation. Let us “see” in our spirit man who we are in you! As always thank you for sharing!! GodSpeed ☆
The Lion of Judah is roaring, get ready for a big one.
Thanks lance. Really really encouraging. Been mulling on ‘light’ last few days. I had a glimpse into the unexplored potential a couple of years back when God spoke deep into my spirit “you are NOT a son of Adam”. I saw that the implications, the potential, of this for us and the earth are so awesome and profound to be honest it was a bit overwhelming. Thanks for building on that and reminding me
My beholding the beauty of the Lord is in researching and writing out verses for a week or more on G-d’s self. I get closer to The Lord one facet at a time. Sometimes with immersion into Scripture’s description I cry at the beauty I see. I really had not described what I saw, with that word before, beauty. Hits the spot. I usually say, Great G-d. How great is our G-d.
The greater intensity of intent to see Him better came in about 5 years of hard times/trouble/ obstacles/horror with pain, sorrow, grief. A break. Then another season that all became a usefulness in the goodness of G-d. G-d was near always, made a way always, was good always. The old me died in many ways so that I didn’t know me much any more. It was the earth chinking off of me in chunks.
When people say things like that, bad times, it is so easy to think, ya sure. For example, son over 7 surgerys, husband 5 surgerys, etc,; and people wanted to kill different ones of us. But G-d took care of it in the most amazing ways. After a while you either learn to trust G-d more or you stop functioning, become bitter, die of stress. So I trust and forgive. Even in this season there are threats. Less. But… We were not used to that kind of life. Nice, middle class, everyday people had to let the rubber meet the road, either G-d was enough or not.
I would say that now I am closer to what G-d made me to be. I’m still getting to know me. Still faithful yet more genuine, real, authentic; comfortable with me. Your words explain it more. I forgot that verse that now lights up like fire. Glory to glory.more like Jesus. Just like what I asked for. Worth it all.
Thank you for the words. I feel satisfied. Filled. A nice smile to go down to peaceful sleep again. And I go on to being the me in Christ more confident. Timely upgrade.
This is Ps 139 in a nutshell. Jesus said that John the Baptist was the greatest of all the prophets born of women in the OT but the TRUMP card was ” The least in the Kingdom is greater that John. Wowsers
Your words are always on point and very timely. Thank you for your dedication to the Word and His body.
Lance, all of your messages are coming ina very accurate and timely manner. We,as, Christians often forget who we are and whose we are. I thank God for using you as His mouth-piece. God bless you with abundant wisdom, knowledge, and
understanding . May He continue to reveal much more to you and reward you for diligently seeking
His face! You are truly a blessing!
As I have gotten older, I feel …., but I know in my mind that my spirit man is not the same as my natural man. I am not how I feel, I am not what I think I am, I am what I am to be! When I process my life’s experiences on feelings and emotions it is depressing, and over whelming; time begins to run out. In reality, I am to create a memory for the moment.
You keep trying to make it all done and over and so simple. It’s not. There is so much more to come. Like who is the True church? Do you have your secret name yet? I do. Here are some scriptures that nobody knows about yet and ignores.” The Sons will walk forth from the womb of the morning as dew.” What does that mean? It means poetry. It’ means his beauty is coming. It means you have to have 1/2 of your angel body to be raptures like the prophet it Judges 3; 15 where women tells her husband about seen a prophet who was 1/2 man and 1/2 angel. Or Stephen was seen as angel as he was being condemned. Or King David was seen twice as an angel in the OT. How did he do that? See Ps 45. “Grace was poured forth on their lips and they were fairer than the children of men.” Fairer than children, meaning they had their angelic bodies and knew of the extra oil talked about in Exodus 30 God made TWO oils. The 2nd is a finely beaten perfume that used a shell, Onycha, that an ancient times was soaked with ….. Spikenard. The same perfume used to anoint Christ before going to his death. Christ was anointed a 2nd time to be our bridegroom. During his stay he several times was is pointing to the bridegroorm chamber.” How can they fast when they are with the bridegroom in the bridegroom chamber.” What is that bridegrrom chamber? It is the Song of Songs, ” The king hath brought them into his chamber. ” Who is the unknown women who anointed Christ on the head with Spikenard? Sos’s 3:11… His mother Crowned Him on the day of his espousals on the day of gladness in his heart. He tells then that. “Where so ever the gosple ls preached in this world ( that is the whole world) This that this women had done will be spoken of for a memorial to here. The world will not end just because the gosple is spoken of all around the world. He can only end when the act of this women is spoken of EVERYWHERE in the world. This should prick your consciousness if you say you believein the whole bible. Like What is the KEY OF DAVID, it is a harp… the shoshonnim. See Ps. 45, 60-80-90 Shoshosnnim means lilly. That leads you to the Song of Songs. I am the Rose of Sharon, I am the lilly of the Valley. God has given the design of this harp to me and my husband makes them. Why. As we sing the Song of Songs in the chamber we will be protected. What chamber? “Come into the chamber as the indignation passes over” For the longes time scholars thought itlwas the Palisades which is out side of Israel and mean to the Jews. Now they have changes their minds again. Why? because they don’t know. The chambe is the chamber of the bridegroom and it is the only place in the bible that says that the someone is spotless. We and the church as to be spotlenss and with out blemish. Are we now? No. Our righteousness is as filthy rags. We can only be made spotless by the 2nd oil, See the parable of the 10 virgins. The 5 who get into the feast who have the 2nd oil and enough to wait for the bridegroom are the one who make it in. The 2nd group of 5 have to go back and buy some and they return and are told, I don’t know you by Christ. They do have the 2nd oil now though. These will be the tribulations saints. God is merciful. I am the Shulamite Bride returned. I am the prophesied to return remanat of the house of David. I am the first and as the United State is transformed into this bridegroom garment and are the full light of the gentiles they David will return to sheppard the Lord people to do the sames. The jews will be provoked by our Light and want to finally know Christ and what to know what to do to be his bride and to be save as the Americans were with their bridegroom garments and survive the threats that came against them.. which they will now face.
