9   But as it is written, Eye hath not seen, nor ear heard, neither have entered into the heart of man, the things which God hath prepared for them that love him.  10   But God hath revealed them unto us by his Spirit: for the Spirit searcheth all things, yea, the deep things of God.   11   For what man knoweth the things of a man, save the spirit of man which is in him? even so the things of God knoweth no man, but the Spirit of God. ~ I CORINTHIANS 2:9-11

It is humanly impossible for us to believe we can have the Thoughts of God. Our mind is trained to think in terms of feet and inches, but God’s thinking is eternal. We can look at a sick person and imagine what it would be for them to be healed, but God sees that same person, not only healed, but in a youthful, ought-to-be condition. We can dream about how things will be beyond this life, but God’s Spirit already KNOWS what it is RIGHT NOW. This Message has brought the Mind of Christ to the Bride and the knowing brings on the reality and declares what we cannot see with our eyes to be fact.

It seems that the focus of this age has been the affect of Christ's work on sin. As we have grown in our understanding of what was accomplished at Calvary, we began to recognize that redemption was not just the forgiveness of sin, or the covering of sin so God could not see it, but it was the removal of every aspect of the fall. It is as if the fall never happened. The result of this work is grace. Grace is unmerited favor. You didn't earn your position. You were not a diamond in the rough, that God saw something in you that was better than someone else. Regardless of your election grace is what we would have been if there had never been a fall. Perhaps you would have come along at the same season, but without sin. You would have walked in the light that shined from the the throne of the Lamb. Whether you are part of that light, as Bride is the reflection of Him, or as Adam, who walked in the light as it came to him, it is the same light that now shines on the elect. For a born again believer the result is that you are walking where you always would, but your light is shining to attract those who are still awaiting an awakening to their eternal election. Grace will never end. It is the Life of God giving breath to every living thing.
