IN GOD!
Well here is what the Bible say…. John 18:35… My kingdom is not of this world: if my kingdom were of this world, then would my servants fight, that I should not be delivered to the Jews: but now is my kingdom not from hence.
God’s servants does not fight because they like the kingdom of God I not of this world. Jesus is not of this world, because he is of the Kingdom of God, so what about God’s men here on earth (God refers to them as HIS servants. Are they ALSO from His Kingdom, and NOT of this world?
Jesus said… John 17… I have given them thy word; and the world hath hated them, because they are not of the world, even as I am not of the world.
Because young people might also read this, I will just make sure they understand what Jesus says here…. Jesus says if a person is not born again he CANNOT enter into the Kingdom of God… Now MANY think they will enter into that HOLY PLACE only AFTER they died! Gave up the spirit, kicked the bucket, they talk about the physical death… Oh they may use many verses and say FLESH cannot enter into the kingdm of God, but they refrain from saying GOD’S KINGDOM CAN ENTER INTO THE FLESH…And let me just assure young and old, if God’s Kingdom did NOT enter your flesh, you will NEVER enter into God’s Kingdom…. You as spirit and soul, with a NEW CELESTIAL body…
But here is the mystery so many do not get…. The soul and spirit that makes you a person in a fleshly vessel, IS COMPLETELY FROM THE KINGDOM OF GOD… Even in you TERRESTIAL HOLY BODY. Just because the vessel is made of flesh, THAT WILL NEVER ENTER INTO GOD’S HEAVENLY Kingdom, Even that flesh that USED TO SIN, will be made 100% obedient to the kingdom of God, by the SPIRIT in the flesh that is NOT OF THIS WORLD.
Let me put it so all can understand… When the HOLY SPIRIT OF GOD IS IN FLESH, like He was FIRST in Jesus, the flesh that has the HOLY SPIRIT OF GOD in him or her, CAN ONLY DO WHAT THE SPIRIT TELLS IT TO DO! The flesh does what the spirit tells it to do. The spirit gives the wish of the spirit to the soul and the soul satify itself with what the spirit requested… If the spirit concieve sin, then the flesh would sin. IF the Spirit is God’s Holy Spirit, the flesh CANNOT sin because God’s Spirit CANNOT concieve sin.
If Jesus says that the people of God is just as Him NOT of this world, it means JUST LIKE HIM, they can only do KINGDOM! Holy Kingdom… And now we will see how this is obtained…
God says… Strive to enter in at the strait gate: for many, I say unto you, will seek to enter in, and shall not be able.
We should strive to enter in at a gate where not many shall be able too. But what is thie menaing of this? WE should strive to enter… through the strait gate…. Why? Why would we want to go through? What is on the other side of this gate? Does God say what is on the other side? So what is on the other side? Without even telling a single person we know….. FATHER GOD AND HIS KINGDOM IS ON THE OTHER SIDE…
So if I do manage to enter through to the other side, then I am ALSO one of these that are NOT OF THIS WORLD. We have to look a bit deeper to understand what happens if a person go through to the other side, and why others are not able too…
So let us first see why MANY cannot enter… God says IN HIM IS NO SIN… So on the other side IS NO SIN. When I stand at the gate, and I strive to enter in, but I still have sin IN ME, will I be able to pass through with that sin in me? If that was possible, then God has to remove this verse from the Bible…1 John 5:3…. AND IN HIM IS NO SIN… So how does God ensure that if he saves a sinner that the sinner would not carry sin INTO HIM…. By the first part of the verse…. And ye know that he was manifested to take away our sins; and in him is no sin.
WOW! Jesus was manifest to TAKE AWAY OUR SIN… not only PAY for them, but TAKE THEM AWAY…WOW!!!! Now that is a God that can DO THINGS…This is how God deals with sin in a sinner… God makes him as pure as HE IS, and then GOD makes him ABLE to enter. WOW! God really does all this for us.
So for us to be IN GOD, GOD has to prepare us for the adoption, for the ENTRANCE, for the PASSING THROUGH THE GATE… And there is a LOVELY parable that God gave us how it works to enter into the Kingdom of God, To ENTER INTO GOD… It is one in John 10 about a sheepfold (God’s Kingdom) with sheep (God’s children), a Shepard (God’s Holy Spirit) and a DOOR (strait gate/Jesus) and a porter (gate keeper / door keeper / YOUR CONSCIENCE) where the shepard works…
Let me share how I believe about the PORTER … There is no person that does not have a coscience… and the Holy Spirit of God is the One who reproof us of sin IN OUR COSCIENCE, on the HEART… God said the Spirit will reproof the WORLD of sin… Even when we are NOT THROUGH THE GATE, the HOLY SPIRIT STILL WORK ON US… But because HE CONVINCE US OF SIN, WE CANNOT ENTER INTO THE DOOR!
It is our DIRTY CONSCIENCE that makes us UNABLE to PASS through the GATE (Jesus) We have to REPENT before we can enter…. And so many say WE CANNOT REPENT FROM ALL SIN… what a load of rubbish… What sin is more powerful that GOD? NONE! So do not make the flesh more poerful than God, do not belittle God with sin, or a sinning nature.. God has a HOLY NATURE that can beat ANY sinning nature and ALL SINNING nature,,, Thank God that HE IS ALMIGHTY and not SIN!
To be IN GOD, is to be IN HOLINESS and IN ALMIGHTY GOD… AND IN HIM IS STILL NO SIN!
Be blessed and BELIEVE GOD, FOR HIM ALLTHINGS ARE POSSIBLE… Mat 19:26.
