What Would It Look Like


Margi (my wife) and I were discussing the other day after listening to a pod cast how the co-host or hosts on the pod casts were almost always in sync, agreement with the host of the pod cast. What she asked, if the co-host/s were free enough in the security of His love to at times say, “Sorry, I do not agree with that”?!

To see things differently is good and rightly so that it is this way, it allows us to be stretched maybe in ways we had not planed or thought of. In my opinion it also takes the focus off of the host as being the one with the final word.

Often listening to a pod cast lately it sort of reminds me of still being in the institutional set up, where you listen to the Man of God speaking for Him, never do you ever consider voicing what you see or think being sometimes very different (not better) from what is coming forth as the gospel!

Are we just clones clowning around simply bobbing our heads like the little dog in the back of the car window in agreement with something that we know is not right?

This is but a slice of what it was sandwiched in.

The angels were created as spirits, separate from God Himself. Adam was created in God’s image (Gen 1:26) by God’s own breath (spirit) as man’s human spirit. Man is created in the image of God; man looks like Jesus of Nazareth, but man lacks the content of the Christ; just as a shadow of a man is similar to the man, but lacks the life-substance of the man. Every man is born of Adam; but then, by receiving “spirit of life in Christ Jesus,” God’s “only begotten Son” (John 1:14) into his human spirit, a man is reborn. Each of us as, as the individual members of “the body of Christ,” has become a partaker of the life and substance of God’s” only begotten Son.” A man becomes completed only when He has received God’s substance and reality by receiving the essential “spirit of life in Christ Jesus.” Colossians 2:10 And ye are complete in (by) him (Christ)… Coming to know the presence of the indwelling “spirit of life in Christ Jesus,” subjectively, is our realization and personal experience of Christ alive within our regenerated human spirit as our new essential spirit. Gal 2:20 I am crucified with Christ: nevertheless I live; yet not I, but Christ liveth in me… Rom 8:16 The Spirit itself beareth witness with our spirit, that we are the children of God:
