    The law and the prophets were until John: since that time the kingdom of God is preached, and every man presseth into it. ~ LUKE 16:16

    ***

    I was thinking about what it means to “press” into the Kingdom of God. It made me think about a man who was being held under water, fighting to get to the surface to take a breath. He was fighting for life. Romans 8 tells us that we are groaning for adoption, and it is that condition of Christ preeminent in you that will deliver life to all creation. The Gene of God in us is fighting to get back to that place where we could walk with Adam in the garden and administer life by fellowship. Eternal Life will ALWAYS be living for others.

    4   And, behold, the word of the LORD came unto him, saying, This shall not be thine heir; but he that shall come forth out of thine own bowels shall be thine heir.     5   And he brought him forth abroad, and said, Look now toward heaven, and tell the stars, if thou be able to number them: and he said unto him, So shall thy seed be.     6   And he believed in the LORD; and he counted it to him for righteousness. ~ GENESIS 15:4-6

    ***

    Abraham believed God and it was counted to him for righteousness. We are encouraged to “only believe”, yet many people claim to believe and get no results. The Hebrew word for believe is two letters: an “m” and a “n”. The “m” means water or blood, and the “n” means a seed or the continuation of something. Together it means “blood continues”. Think about it. Believing is not just a human believing but it relates to election, or bloodline. You believe because it was always in you to believe. When Cain’s offering was rejected in Gen 4, God told him that all he had to do was “do well” and he would be accepted, but he couldn’t because there was nothing inside him to agree with what God told him.

    12   Now therefore give me this mountain, whereof the LORD spake in that day; for thou heardest in that day how the Anakims were there, and that the cities were great and fenced: if so be the LORD will be with me, then I shall be able to drive them out, as the LORD said.     13   And Joshua blessed him, and gave unto Caleb the son of Jephunneh Hebron for an inheritance.     14   Hebron therefore became the inheritance of Caleb the son of Jephunneh the Kenezite unto this day, because that he wholly followed the LORD God of Israel. ~ JOSHUA 14:12-14

    ***

    The name Anakims means “encompassed”. The mountain that Caleb had claimed for his inheritance was encompassed by giants, yet even being 85 years old, he had the commission to claim his land. We live in the hour that the kingdoms of this world have become the Kingdoms of our God. There are spirits everywhere, and when we run from them, even though we think we don’t actually fear them, it is a form of respect that they do not deserve. We rule this spiritual kingdom because the King of that Kingdom lives and operates through us. There is no fear in perfect love.

    3   After the doings of the land of Egypt, wherein ye dwelt, shall ye not do: and after the doings of the land of Canaan, whither I bring you, shall ye not do: neither shall ye walk in their ordinances.    4   Ye shall do my judgments, and keep mine ordinances, to walk therein: I am the LORD your God. ~ LEVITICUS 18:3-4

    ***

    In Genesis 12 Abraham was called to go into a land, yet this commandment is that you do not according to the things they do. Abraham, even being in the land of promise, looked for a City. He looked for something that was there but in another dimension. Even though he was not born again, he knew there were two dimensions, one of a physical land and another where God was on the Throne. The warning is that we don’t walk after the works of the present physical land, but after the culture of the spiritual land. It behooves us to examine ourselves. Which land am I walking in?

    To him that overcometh will I grant to sit with me in my throne, even as I also overcame, and am set down with my Father in his throne. ~ REVELATION 3:21

    ***

    What is the overcoming that put Christ on the Throne? It was His resurrection from the dead. The death of the flesh, the judgment of sin in the condition He took on Himself, released Him from one condition to another. The born again experience, which brings the death of our human reasoning, although it is a progression, has freed us from the law of sin and death (Romans 8:1-2). We are given sight to see the Kingdom of God even though we walk in a physical dimension that is void of the Throne. As we walk, we become more aware of the dimension of righteousness, and our lives reflect an atmosphere that the world knows nothing about.

    22    For we know that the whole creation groaneth and travaileth in pain together until now….     18   And all things are of God, who hath reconciled us to himself by Jesus Christ, and hath given to us the ministry of reconciliation;     19   To wit, that God was in Christ, reconciling the world unto himself, not imputing their trespasses unto them; and hath committed unto us the word of reconciliation.     20   Now then we are ambassadors for Christ, as though God did beseech you by us: we pray you in Christ's stead, be ye reconciled to God. ~ ROMANS 8:22 & II CORINTHIANS 5:18-20

    ***

    We are a walking eternal dimension. As Sons of God we represent God on this earth and have an atmosphere of the Grace of God all around us. To some, this atmosphere is a judgment, but to others it feels familiar, like an odor of home. Creation is groaning for this. This atmosphere does not come from street preaching or trying to convince people to change their lives. It comes from being the Life that draws all men to the Word. The Gospel is about expressing a Life that makes men and women homesick for what you have.

    17   Now I beseech you, brethren, mark them which cause divisions and offences contrary to the doctrine which ye have learned; and avoid them.     18   For they that are such serve not our Lord Jesus Christ, but their own belly; and by good words and fair speeches deceive the hearts of the simple.     19   For your obedience is come abroad unto all men. I am glad therefore on your behalf: but yet I would have you wise unto that which is good, and simple concerning evil.     20   And the God of peace shall bruise Satan under your feet shortly. The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with you. Amen. ~ ROMANS 16:17-20

    ***

    “And the God of peace shall bruise Satan under your feet shortly.” How is it that God shall bruise Satan “under your feet”? The carnal mind is enmity with God and can never come in subjection. It is the root of ALL divisions and offences. It is our intellectual thinking that brings arguments and confrontations. We can be completely correct in our doctrine and so wrong in our spirit that we separate and cause divisions, even when the Word of God is supposed to unite. True divine Love does not mean you compromise by having compassion on those who believe they are right. We can be so arrogant to believe everyone is wrong but us, that we leave the Love of God out of our conversation and isolate the ones we are trying to help. We often fail to remember that whatever we have been blessed to receive, as Branches, is always for others.

    Apply It, and create that atmosphere around you, that they'll just drop right into It. See? Oh, you are, you are, if you got the Token, you create a spirit around you, a power, that when you walk, people know that you're a Christian. They love for you to say something to them. They believe your word. What you say, they hold onto it. ~ 63-0901M  TOKEN

    When we are truly born again we are eternal beings. We live in a dimension where God sits on the Throne. Jesus said the Kingdom of God is within you (Luke 17:21). There is an atmosphere of that Kingdom that should be in everything we do and speak. It is a quality that people should notice about you, because you are in the world, but not of this world. Jesus said that He was in the world, but was in heaven at the same time (John 3:23). How about us? If we have eternal Life, that is God’s Own Life. How can that not be an atmosphere that people notice? When people would walk into the presence of the prophet on the platform, they would immediately notice an atmosphere. I believe it should be the same for us.

    1   What shall we say then that Abraham our father, as pertaining to the flesh, hath found?      2   For if Abraham were justified by works, he hath whereof to glory; but not before God.     3   For what saith the scripture? Abraham believed God, and it was counted unto him for righteousness.     4   Now to him that worketh is the reward not reckoned of grace, but of debt. ~ ROMANS 4:1-4

    ***

    There are two dimensions; righteousness and works. We have an eternal Gene, a part of us that is eternal, and when we hear the Word, which is also eternal, it brings a believing, and that believing is counted to us for righteousness. Believing is “having faith”, which means it is not just believing something but it is having a faith that will not and cannot change. It has an eternal quality that has nothing to do with time. When you truly believe, it is counted to you that you are now drawing your life from a different dimension, yielding your actions, your thinking, to a life that is taking preeminence in you. It is this preeminence that produces a speaking of God through your lips.

    12   Let not sin therefore reign in your mortal body, that ye should obey it in the lusts thereof.     13   Neither yield ye your members as instruments of unrighteousness unto sin: but yield yourselves unto God, as those that are alive from the dead, and your members as instruments of righteousness unto God.     14   For sin shall not have dominion over you: for ye are not under the law, but under grace. ~ ROMANS 6:12-14

    ***

    What happens to us when we are truly born again? We go from being a time being to an eternal being. That means we step into a dimension of grace, versus a dimension of this sinful age around us. There are two dimensions, grace and sin. When you are born again, your instruments, your hands, your tongues, have become instruments of righteousness, working out of an eternal grace Headship. How can we yield them to an unrighteous dimension if we are no longer living under that former headship?
