The Masterpiece of our God

All the changes we are going through are what are going to make us the man, woman, friend, servant, son, daughter - lord or king that we will be forever

When who and all of which has been formed in us is eternally encaptured and held as it is, but in a realm of which will never cease - a realm which will never cease to contain all of the fullness of the exploration of God – being truly the eternal frontier of what has no beginning and no end

For what is happening to us now and all the changes we are going through spiritually and physically is what will determine who we are – what we become – who we will remain in essence for all of eternity – everlasting changes made by God which will determine our place in life everlasting, and will determine how we explore it – how we reach into all of which has gone unlived and yet to be born of Christ - and we will be that person always in relation to God and in relation to all others of the eternity – and that is the greatness of God and his power and ability for as it is for him, so it is for us – and that is with the greatest power and ability does comes the greatest responsibility

For the greatest of power which can only come from God - holds in it the greatest of the great virtues of the Almighty One and with them comes all of the responsibility of which perfection and power and supremacy brings

For Jesus knew that power had gone out from him – that virtue had gone out from him – that mighty works and strength and abundance and all moral excellence and justice and prudence had gone forth from him – that passion and fortitude – faith and hope and love of ages past had gone out from him – and he sought to know who had touched him and to whom the power and virtue of God had so responded to with such a passionate release, as the very heart of God took flight into the crowd and into one woman - for with the release of such power comes responsibility and that responsibility included giving voice to God’s heart and speaking out its interpretation in words which could be heard and understood as the effect of his power, with all of its inseparable elements and qualities, brought about the changes in accordance to God’s will and in accordance to her faith in Jesus Christ.

For all of which is held in the power of God and send forth is the Holy Spirit himself because he is God – he is the power of God just as Jesus is the Word of God – and he is the Spirit of God just as Jesus is the Son of God - they are of the same and are one with the Father

So when we have the Holy Spirit in us to teach and counsel and guide and transform us into what the word of God says we are - when we have the Holy Spirit in us to reveal the heart of God to us – to reveal the heart of men to us – then surely we have residing in us miracles and mighty works and the completeness of God’s goodness and moral excellence - for the strength of his heart holds the fullness of righteous judgment within a self controlled desperate passion and fortitude, all driven and upheld and sustained by his full measure of perfection having its central dynamic core in God’s eternal everlasting word

For Jesus asked who touched me when the woman with the issue of blood reached out and touched his garment – why did he have to know who touched him – power had already gone forth and the woman already felt in herself that she was instantly healed even before Jesus spoke a word – but dispensation of such eternal power with all of its inseparable elements working together as one is to be accompanied by the eternal word of God, for the expression of the heart of God to be complete in the sight and hearing of men - for we never just come up behind Jesus and touch his garment and think he will not feel our very touch the same as if we had grasped him and held on to him tightly - for he will always turn and look at us and have our touch responded to and then to take that response into word which will last forever - for his response to us is eternal – his response to us can never pass away - for our healing can pass away if we turn back to our old ways but his word to us can never cease to exist for his word to us is our eternal life and the revelation of our eternity – the revelation of the eternity which has been set in our hearts by our Father and to be revealed to us by and through Jesus Christ our Lord

So how great is what seems so small to us right now – how eternal is what seems to be so insignificant right now – what seems to be only the prelude to something greater – what seems to be the time of only waiting when held in relation to the coming of the outpouring of the extremities of the east and west and north and south of God’s power – how great is that which challenges us and which changes our hearts and its direction – changes our spirit so as in its maturity the vital language between us and God can now begin to flow with rapid increase - how great is what changes our life and puts us into where the Lord is right now –

How great is God and what is going to rise to such magnificence in the sight of all men – and how great is his revelation of eternity which he set in our hearts - set in our hearts and yet we cannot see it, or understand it, even though it is in us and surrounds us – and as we remain unaware of it he does the groundwork in us and makes the changes which will be permanent and a part of us always

For he yearns to place a piece of his heart into each of us, and for it to grow and grow as we come into the realisation that what he has set into our hearts requires for us to have the heart of God to be able to understand it – because it is profoundly all about him - and so far set above all else - for he gives to us all of which we will need Christ in us to be able to understand …all of which is sent forth to come to us and to change us and to move us forward and to empower us has been made by the Father to require Jesus to give it life and its fullness of eternal meaning and to bring about what will be in us for all eternity

He gives to us what only his Holy Spirit can give interpretation to - for it is way beyond our own minds and thinking patterns – he gives us what will drive us further into him – what will require us to come into the fullness of Christ and more into being fully possessed by the Holy Spirit - for what is born of God’s word to us, is born out of Christ for it cannot have its revelation birthed out of the will of man but only out of the will of God

Just like eternity : it is that only through Christ we are made a part of it for he lives in it and brings it to us yesterday today and forever but we are not of it unless we are of Christ - for even amid the laws of the old covenant eternity was waiting for all God’s word to be fulfilled - waiting for them to be fulfilled by Jesus … so what was still to come could come, for God’s word had to be fulfilled and he fulfilled it himself – for Jesus is the fulfilment of all things now and forever … for all of which God so profoundly gives us needs Christ JESUS to fulfil it – for Jesus Christ in us is the fulfilment of God’s heart which is in its entire fullness only in Jesus Christ

The Holy Spirit who lives in us – the Holy Spirit who was given to us to live in us till his appointed time comes to step aside – he is the only one on this earth who knows the great significance of every change made in us

The value of every word said to us and said by us – he knows the priceless worth of every change brought about by the revelation of Jesus Christ - for every revelation of Christ is designed to alter our whole demeanour and to bring all our intentions of heart into what can only have power when every word out of the mouth of God is accepted and taken into us and into the far beyond of what our human senses and natural mind might be saying and interpretating to us - but we only look to JESUS and accept and consume as he so declares and speaks and then allow it to live in us with reverence and respect - for it is word which lives and knows and understands eternity and knows and lives with God - and then we accept all of which it means and holds and reveals and all of which it desires and is desperate to interpret to us and out of us - giving manifested interpretation of what is already living in the eternal and which is already full of eternal power for it is already living in Jesus Christ – it is Jesus Christ – and he is far, far beyond what is of the boundaries of which men live in even when they have confessed him as their Lord and Saviour - for truly we know not, what is of the far reaching and what is of the extremities of the true meaning of Christ in us - of Christ in the world – of the Christ of all eternity - for Christ is all of which is held in every stoke of God’s pen and in every breathe of the Spirit and in every word which comes from the mouth of God – and is as far reached and more, than what even the church will ever deem acceptable – because if we do not take him at his word – and know that his word is him and the very life of him - the very flesh and blood of him the very eternity in him, and partake with a desperate passion of him as we remember him - for he gave thanks and broke the bread and gave it to his disciples saying ‘This is my body which is given for you – do this in remembrance of me – and likewise the cup after they had eaten he gave it to them and they all drank of it - and he said ‘This is my blood of the new covenant which is poured out for many’ – and that if we do not eat and drink of him then we can have no part of him – we have no life in us

For it is a truth that is life changing, as after he so declared it and as his disciples so ate and drank of it, so was his life and all life changed forever – and so also was brought in the new and revolutionary way that he would reveal himself in us and to us and through us to give him the greater glory - as what was once incomprehendible becomes now more clear and more fluent as we see the flow of his words and the river of which they make up

For when Jesus gave thanks and broke bread multiplication was instant and the multitudes were abundantly fed and that was bread of this earth - what happens when the bread from heaven is given thanks for and broken and eaten what is the multiplication then - for the multiplication the Lord displayed was visual and was eaten by the masses so as to fill their stomachs but he was displaying what the bread sent from heaven would do for them – for it would be broken and it would feed the many with what we be eternal - so what happens when we give thanks for the Lord - for God’s Christ and eat of his prepared flesh and drink of his pure blood in the full revelation that it is flesh and not bread and blood and not wine and that we are touching and tasting and taking into our bodies and our spirits Jesus Christ the Son of Man and Jesus Christ the Son of God – how instant will be his multiplication in us and out of us – the multiplication of Christ in us – Christ in the world – the multiplication of all of which is of the eternal – all power and all virtue and all of which it brings – and it is done instantly and in multiples until what is left over has to be gathered so as not to be wasted

For how else, but when his truths which are in the farthest extremes of their greatness and their revelation are taken into our hearts in the same direct way they we spoken by Jesus and applied in the same direct way - how else can he manifest on this earth for he is waiting for his truths – his words to be truly heard and for us to truly hear what the Spirit is saying – waiting for the flesh and blood through which he manifests to be as his flesh - of the same substance the same truth as his flesh and blood - for who he is, requires flesh and blood which will not reject him because it is incompatible with him – flesh and blood which is Spirit born and truth empowered just as the Truth himself is

And the Holy Spirit changes his position in us when we begin to have the flesh of Christ as a part of our own and the blood of Jesus running through our veins for that is the Truth in us – increasing as we decrease exclusively giving ourselves over to the formation of Christ in his greater measure as we see the literal increase in us as we take in more truths in a new way – more truths in a greater way – so as to be one of the greater things that we do now that JESUS has gone to the Father

For the Holy Spirit knows all things that is why he perseveres for he sees what we do not yet see, and understands what we cannot understand yet, because we do not see the truth always as it is - for we do not always see Jesus as he is – that is why the Holy Spirit will not and cannot cease to remind us of the words of Jesus after we have read and are now listening to hear what he is saying

Why he implores us to take of Jesus and to eat of he who is the fulfilment of all things because that is what he has prepared for us - just as the law was given till Jesus did come with a better covenant - and he is the better covenant especially prepared for us in a body which is able to be changed so as to live in the eternal and to go beyond what is passing away - he replaces what was a temporary measure until the measure of which cannot be measured comes in to take its place.
For we are never to hunger and thirst for what has already been fulfilled by Jesus - but to hunger and thirst for him, who is the fulfilment of all things - of the law and of the prophets and all of which the Father ever gave life to - for he is eternal life and the fulfilment of it in us~

For in his flesh and in his blood is the Spirit of God who transforms what is not into what is – and he reminds us of what is - and not of what is not – and brings to us and reminds us of the heart and passion of Jesus that we might remember the heart and passion of Christ through his words of truth to us – through his instructions to us - and remember the Spirit and the humility and gentleness of Jesus which is in his word and revealed in his actions as the Spirit of God is heard through his words and seen in his action - because it is the Spirit of God who forms those words and gives them their power and who takes what is not and makes it what it is, for all of eternity – he is the showman and makes what is to come – come ; and what is to exalt Jesus - exalt Jesus – and what is to remind us of the words of Jesus - remind us - and what is to be done in remembrance of Jesus be done in remembrance of Jesus – he gives formation to all things – all word spiritually and physically – for he is the one who formed The Word of God and gave it its unblemished power and its revelation - the one who formed its flesh and poured into it its pure blood – and he allows Jesus and his precious flesh and his pure blood to be revealed to us - for who can eat of our Lord and drink of all of which is sacred and holy and held exclusively within the heart of the Father – who can even come so near to our Lord let alone eat of his splendour unless firstly the Father draws us to him - and then if the Spirit of Revelation dare give us what can so easily and carelessly be trodden under foot - for this revelation to even come close to us – to be heard by us in its explicitness and to understand it in all of its ramifications and to then do it and to be remembering of Jesus to the same depth as his word does come to us from God – it IS the Holy Spirit in us now revealing to us the increase of the more, with the understanding that if once we have eaten of our Lord in this new way – with this whole new perception then if we turn back to the old ways and our old ideas of what eating his flesh and drinking his blood may mean - if we then turn away from what is sacred unto the Father and revealed unto us – the Holy Spirit will shut down all revelation in us for this is a closeness to our Lord – a closeness to his body – a body which was especially prepared by GOD – and a closeness which cannot be defiled once given and once touched and once tasted ….for we have reached into the Father and he has revealed a little bit more of himself and what Jesus truly means to him – in flesh blood and in spirit ~…

And as we consume to the last drop all of the explicitness of his word - drinking in all of the truth - we receive its hundredfold unveiling - but if we do not follow his word to us in remembrance of him then how do we remember him – how have we remembered him – from what view point do we remember our Lord – from the words we can only accept or from every word which did come from the mouth of God

For we are to remember him from the greatest of vantage points of which the Holy Spirit is giving us – from the highest part of the mountain – from every word he spoke - from the private place within him where he desired to be and to so share with his disciples the Passover before his time of suffering - for he would never be with them like this again - it is where we are in him when we are truly partaking of his flesh and drinking from the cup which is filled with his blood – for it was a time he shared himself like no other - for from any other vantage point we do not remember him as he so desired and as he is in all truth was unfolded - but only remember as we think he is, and to the measure of the truth we can receive and will accept

For from this point in his life we see all other points and is where we look at all his other teachings from – and hear all his words as we look from where he came and to where he went, and see them as one who is in his flesh and one who has in us his blood and in all truth and literal sense are a part of him to the extremes

For to enter into the extremes there has to be a starting point and this is it – the point where we feel his whole journey - the point before his crucifixion but at a place which will take us into his crucifixion and beyond it – when we see all as it is - when we see it without any restrictions of old covenant laws and from the very beginning of the birth of the new covenant and only see Jesus – see him in all the truths of God – to drink in the covenant for the forgiveness of sins and to give thanks and break his flesh into all of the pieces which are to make up our eternity with him - and eat what is to come and be of what is to come - and to know that what is to come has come - and we did not know him or recognise him or receive him - and for now not to remember him through a haze of what he has already fulfilled - but with an abandon of one who has left all behind for what is

And who it is that we follow is taking us through a mine field and only he knows where to tread as he gives us words which will completely cut us off from what is perishing so we can see what is not - and see Jesus as the Alpha and Jesus as the Omega and all of which is in between is Jesus Christ our eternal Lord and the Salvager of our souls – he who is the only way – who is the only truth and who is the only life – who is the only true God - the only one who can take us from being under the law and separated from God to being reconciled back to God and inseparable from the love he has for us as seen and revealed in Jesus and only Jesus

For the power of God - the Holy Spirit of God waits to do in us what he did in and with Jesus Christ the Son of Man - for he is our interpreter taking what is holy unto the Lord and the Lord - and making it known to us and understood by us because he takes what is of the impossible to understand because it is in its undiluted strength and power and truth - and gives us interpretation of what is holy - but can only make known to us what we can and will take fully into our hearts with a knowing that it is truly God in us - for interpretation which comes from the Spirit is the interpretation of the Spirit himself - which is held in the words Jesus spoke - and he continuously is revealing the Spirit of God and the heart of God – giving interpretation of himself - the deeper interpretation of his gifts and fruits - of his tactics - of the extremities of each end of his power and how to use it - revealing himself through God’s Christ and the words he speaks as he speaks with him - and through his actions as he takes action with him

For the words of Jesus override all things and what they are - for they are as he says they are - as we are what he says we are – and if Jesus who is solid truth says the wine is his blood and the bread is his flesh, then there is no leeway either side no matter how our hearts and eyes still persist in perceiving it – for the full controlled power and strength of his word for all to be as his word declares - is the extremity of the far reaching extra that God has, and is where he exalts and excels himself above all else – above all that reaches out to take his place

For all is indeed changed when he speaks - but we do not see its instant changes as it responds to God’s word because we do not accept it instantly and without doubt and without question – accept that his word is above all else and all else has to obey it - and even when we ponder it we can analyse it out of being possible and we never see that when the Lord speaks, and says, and calls and declares what is not, to be what he says it is - then that is what it is in the eyes of God and that is what counts - not what it is in the eyes of men - and that is where we lose power and are hindered from moving to the next level – for what has been revealed by the Truth himself and given to us, is for us to be able to take the next giant step into the fullness of Christ - for the revelations are becoming steeper and steeper and there is no more room for the old ways – to sit among the doubters and cynics and to ponder what they ponder

The old ways which are having to see before we believe that God and his word are supreme and above and beyond all else – beyond all of which is now seen and manifested - for if he speaks it into another form and another place it is changed and it is moved in the eyes of God – and it is only that we do not receive the impossible wonder of him so as TO accept it - but receive with our heart and mind still open to the thinking that we have an option still available to us as to whether we believe the words of Jesus or not

And to believe that we can have these options in play in our life and still have the power of God and dispense it the same manner as Jesus – but that is rubbish

How can the Holy Spirit trust us with his power when we do not even believe what our all powerful God can do and does do through his word – if we only think that what he can do is only what we can believe for and accept fully and see with our own natural eyes, then how can we dispense such a power – a power which is so instant and so direct and so commanding of obedience that it moves and accomplishes even before we have decided which option we will take – the truths which are truths of God are eternal and are not optional – eternity is not optional for it will be eternal life or eternal damnation – but all will be eternal

The Lord wants us to go freely with him and let the Spirit of God take us into the unexpected impossible - to where at his word the unexpected is expected and the impossible is possible - and so within the instantaneousness of his word - the instantaneousness of the revelation so be empowered further into Jesus and his return

To look at him and feel you have reached the unreachable – and to hold him and to know you are holding the impossible - for without God, Christ in us is impossible – Christ in the world is impossible – Christ our eternity is impossible

For when God in us and man in us collide the new heavens and the new earth come into their formation ….so how great is God in us – how great is the Son of Man in us and the Son of God in us - that out of our close encounter with him - out of our collision into what has been sent straight from the heavens to us comes new heavens and a new earth - so what are all these other options which we put before the Lord

Where else is there to turn when we have coming towards us what is of the magnitude which makes us not even as big as a speck of dust – where else is there to turn when God the Father is before us and the Holy Spirit is in us and Jesus is interceding for us unrelentingly

We have God the Father drawing us – Jesus the Son pouring out his blood for the forgiveness of our sins – and we have the Holy Spirit of God who has no end to his power and his wisdom and his knowledge and his counsel who lives in us till the day he departs into his glory with the Father – and then when he does he leaves with us all of which the flesh of Jesus which is now our flesh - and all of which the blood of Jesus which is now our blood - and all of which is the Spirit is now our spirit – can possibly hold and that is all of which is God – because we became all of which is Jesus - and Jesus is of the flesh and Jesus is of the blood and JESUS is of the Spirit

So from the departure of the Lord – the Holy Spirit - and until the return of the Lord – our Jesus Christ – there is no separation of us from him for he is truly with us till the end of the age for we cannot be separated from the love of God as held in Jesus Christ our Lord -

So now what else is there that would turn our heads away from the masterpiece of God – he says we are his masterpiece but he is truly our masterpiece for all of the pieces of Jesus our Master and our Lord our Saviour are now being put into their place - not for the Father to see for he sees it all as it is right now – but for us to know that we are seen by God as his master piece when we are all of the pieces of our master put together in the flesh and in the blood and in the Spirit and are as he is – and are as he says we are - as we eat of the great worth of his flesh and take in his blood to give the formation of what it is that the Father already sees in those of whom eat of his Christ in truth of the greatness of his word for it is then the masterpiece of God’s heart is made manifest for all to see – all of those of the earth and all of those of the heavens

So it is now the formation in us of what will take us into what is of the unreachable because the further we go the more it expands – the more it says to us – the more it reveals to us – the more of the Father we see the more of his face we perceive – for the face of God is made up of the flesh and blood of Jesus and each of the Lord’s revelation to us - each of his dynamic truths to us when put together make up the fullness of our God - the fullness of his Spirit and the fullness of his face in which is all and everything which ever was and will be

And the more of what is the Lord’s and the Lord’s - the Lord the Holy Spirit is revealing to us – and the more of the pieces we can give thanks for and break with our desperate hearts and eat of with the full knowledge and understanding that we are eating – truly eating into ourselves Jesus the man and Jesus our God for within his flesh and blood is his Spirit – and we are eating and drinking of what is unreachable and impossible and unexpected - but what alone will make us who we are to be for all eternity – make us who we are to be, as seen in the eyes of God - For all of which the eyes of God look for and all of which the face of God holds is Jesus Christ – for only through him do we receive the bounty of the Kingdom of heaven – and only through him can we see the heavens and earth of which are held in the face of our Father – as the Lord, the Lord, the Lord undertake to take all to the seemingly last resort - take all to its farthest extreme and then the more and say this is who I am – for nothing is to great a thing for him to do – nothing to hard for him to bring about – for Jesus places all in his Word so he just has to speak it and it is done – for when the Lord speaks his word he is his word and his word is him – he is the solid truth of his word – he is the solid power in his word – and he is the fulfilment of his word -

So how great is what seems so small to us right now – how eternal is what seems to be so insignificant right now – how great is what changes our life and puts us into where the Lord is right now – the great truths – and the greatness of their power to change us and to make us who we are to be for all eternity – and when the Lord declares what is not - to be what it is in the eyes of God – then there is no one else there is no other power which can reverse what God has so declared or change what God so sees out of the vastness of his whole being –

And he sees what is the masterpiece of his life – the masterpiece of his making – the masterpiece of the LORD OF GLORY - who makes everlasting changes in us when he calls us to be what he sees we already are in the heart of his Father and so brings into the face of the Father a glory of which only the Lord of Glory can bring – for he is the one who gave us all the pieces of the masterpiece of life and said eat for it is my flesh and drink for it is my blood – he is the one who made the unreachable reachable and the impossible possible and the unexpected expected

He is the Master of all the pieces of which when come together make up the final picture – and makes us a part of that final picture with him

AMEN FATHER – AMEN JESUS – AMEN HOLY SPIRIT
