SUMMARY: There is a dawning in the sons of God, that there is a level of maturity being created by the Father to bring them into the hope of their calling. The agency is the Holy Spirit, who is leading and guiding these ones into being one body and one spirit. He is in the process of coming within His people and bringing forth the Kingdom on earth. SHOW NOTES:
Quotations:
REFERENCES: Matthew 26:63-64 But Jesus kept silent. And the high priest said to Him, “I adjure You by the Living God, that You tell us whether You are the Christ, the Son of God.” Jesus said to him, “You have said it yourself; nevertheless I tell you, hereafter you will see the Son of Man sitting at the right hand of Power, and coming on the clouds of heaven,” II Corinthians 4:7 But we have this treasure in earthen vessels, so that the surpassing greatness of the power will be of God and not from ourselves. Luke 21:34-36 Be on guard, so that your hearts will not be weighted down with dissipation and drunkenness and the worries of life, and that day will not come on you suddenly like a trap; for it will come upon all those who dwell on the face of all the earth. Galatians 2:20 I have been crucified with Christ; and it is no longer I who live, but Christ lives in me; and the life which I now live in the flesh I live by faith in the Son of God, who loved me and gave Himself up for me. Romans 8:20-21, 28-30 For the creation was subjected to futility, not willingly, but because of Him who subjected it in hope that the creation itself also will be set free from its slavery to corruption into the freedom of the glory of the children of God. And we know that God causes all things to work together for good to those who love God, to those who are called according to His purpose. For those whom He foreknew, He also predestined to become conformed to the image of His Son, so that He would be the firstborn among many brethren; and these whom He predestined, He also called; and these whom He called, He also justified; and these whom He justified, He also glorified. Acts 1:3 To these He also presented Himself alive after His suffering, by many convincing proofs, appearing to them over a period of forty days and speaking of the things concerning the kingdom of God. Acts 1:13 When they had entered the city, they went up to the upper room where they were staying. TAKE AWAY: Jesus Christ is coming forth in us individually and as a body of believers. He came forth as a man, and exemplified the priority of having a intimate relationship with the Father. Now He ever lives to make intercession for the plan of the Father to to have a people. The Father is the great creator and He has been bringing His kingdom in a people. He sent the Holy Spirit to teach and lead each believer to follow after the pattern Son. His working is at our initiative—all we have to do is ask. Just say, “Spirit, fill me.”

- In this day the believers who love God and believe that they have been called for His plan and purpose, are waking up to the process of becoming conformed to the image of His Son.
- One pitfall that these believers are facing is trying to do things for God outside of their relationship with God.
- The main emphasis is still to know God, but the awareness is shifting to more of a reality that He is coming forth in us.
- We—Christ's body-- are the kingdom of God. He is sitting at the right hand of the Father, making intercession until we bring His enemies under His feet.
- Just as the Holy Spirit came on the gathering at Pentecost, we need the power of the Holy Spirit leading and guiding us as we focus on bringing His kingdom onto this earth.
Quotations:
- Look at Christ as He was born a baby. He was not just a Son of God; He was the Son of Man. He went through the same identifications with things and places and people that we do.
- The way it works is we do everything in Him, because it's in Him and through Him that we will see this work completed.
- The changes come almost imperceptibly.
- Our walk with Him comes from the life of Christ in us. He's walking in us. The goal is for His purposes, whatever that is, and we know His purpose is to redeem all of creation.
- There must be a willingness to do everything possible, to be alert to the times and the seasons, for God does not intend for us to put our heads in the sand like an ostrich...but neither does God want these things to choke out the Word until we are no longer listening to His Truth and following it.
- We always talk about how the early disciples walk with the Lord before the crucifixion, but we never talk about how they walk with the Lord after the crucifixion. A resurrected Christ appears before these guys and teaches them about the Kingdom of God for 40 days, and He does amazing things.
- Christ couldn't walk the way He walked without the fullness of the Holy Spirit, and neither can we.
- We have the prescription for coming into the fullness of the kingdom of God. It's through Jesus Christ and His embodiment within us.
