I want to share with my like minded brothers and sisters....
When I talk to other people on a daily basis, I am still amazed at the differences in thoughts...
For instance, I was talking about Grace being chastisement and that Grace is teaching and judging us in righteousness, and the other person thought that I was thinking that's all Christ is.... that He comes to spank us and NOT just sit with us and share an ice-cream cone with us and hang out with us (that was their analogy).
I was like what?!!! Wow!!!
THAT IS what Christ is doing with me now! He's sitting with me in my heaven's having an ice-cream cone (dining) with me. And just the fact that He's there, making His home in the temple of God (me) all that other false stuff gets BURNT OUT/LOVED OUT/CHASTISED OUT/GRACED OUT. It's all the SAME THING!!! When He comes to sit with us and LIVE in us, THE LIES HAVE GOT TO GO!! The demonic doctrines don't just stay there, they are lovingly being burned out.
And the reply to that was "I see what your saying... to a point... but God's not always 'hurry up lets go, spank, spank, lets get stuff done',....stop and smell the roses"
But see, that's judgement!!! Judgment IS smelling the roses and everything else in between (He's the beginning and the end). I know what Christ is doing in me and for me in my age, right now. But I have to remember...
Heb 13:10 We have an altar from which those who serve the tabernacle have no right to eat. (Talking about Aaron and his kids as the elect, vs. the other priests)
For them, they are comfortable with the fake Jesus, the God they have formed in their own man-made thoughts. They are not being judged right now and I...ME...Se7en have to be OKAY with that. God's not dealing with them right now (yet). And it really is OKAY, because God has them exactly where He wants them right now, but they THINK that Christ is in them, they sincerely think this, as I once did.... but they just have not had their heaven's opened yet. God is not dealing with them right now at this moment in that way. I have to be patient and loving and know God will eventually open their eyes.
Rev 14:12 Here is the patience of the saints; here are those who keep the commandments of God and the faith of Jesus.
In times past I would have argued till blue in the face, but now I lovingly look at them and let them think what they want to think. I can only deliver the message (like I was doing). They asked me a question about grace.... But if God is not working with them... the message of grace falls off them like water off a ducks back.
Se7en you think God is all doom and gloom and judges us and spanks us and won't let go. I didn't say that! I said that he graces us by teaching us how to live rightly, he corrects us into the kingdom! The old man will die because of this so for Him, the old man, IT IS DEATH. But for the new man... ITS LIFE AIONIAN!!!
I actually SEE the difference between one NOT being judged in this age and one BEING judged. The sun rises and falls on the lot of us, but God's elect have the Christ dining within them.
"Jesus, you think I could have another lick of your double fudge mint ice-cream?".... "Sure son".
