Jesus the Word

(RSV) ¶ That which was from the beginning, which we have heard, which we have seen with our eyes, which we have looked upon and touched with our hands, concerning the word of life—
(RSV) the life was made manifest, and we saw it, and testify to it, and proclaim to you the eternal life which was with the Father and was made manifest to us—

John 1:1 (RSV) ¶ In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God.
2 (RSV) He was in the beginning with God;
3 (RSV) all things were made through him, and without him was not anything made that was made.
4 (RSV) In him was life, and the life was the light of men.
5 (RSV) ¶ The light shines in the darkness, and the darkness has not overcome it.
...
9 (RSV) The true light that enlightens every man was coming into the world.
10 (RSV) He was in the world, and the world was made through him, yet the world knew him not.
...
12 (RSV) But to all who received him, who believed in his name, he gave power to become children of God;
13 (RSV) who were born, not of blood nor of the will of the flesh nor of the will of man, but of God.
14 (RSV) And the Word became flesh and dwelt among us, full of grace and truth; we have beheld his glory, glory as of the only Son from the Father.

The below color abstract represents the purpose of God in Jesus Christ.

The red part of the cross represents the blood of Christ shed in atonement for the sins of mankind. The blue part of the cross represents the resurrection of Christ and his ascension into Heaven as well as his return to rule over the Kingdom of God on this earth. The yellow figure in the centre represents his transition from a crown of thorns prior to his death to his crown of glory and power at the right hand of God Almighty. This transition starts as son of man into the darkness and agony of separation from God and on to his victory over this spiritual separation where as son of God he bridges that darkness and separation and with the power of God creates a place in Heaven that where he is we may be also. Thus it is that God has reconciled us to himself through his only begotten son Jesus Christ being both son of man and son of God.

Self Sustaining Revival

{short description of image}

A great revival is coming but we must first sanctify ourselves.



First let me say, I've had a very hard and prayerful time with this web page. If it lacks the love and consideration that it is supposed to declare then I am at fault and would beg your forgiveness. As insight develops and I get feedback I will revise these contents, unless of course there is no feedback. I used Christian art, available on the Internet, to help with the theme of this web page. I I

There is a theme throughout the Bible characterized by the word sanctify or consecrate, meaning to be separate from sin, dedicate to the ways of righteousness, or to prepare for service to God. From a personal perspective and as emphasized in the New Testament we are to prepare for eternal life through oneness with God. This means to literally have our souls join (bind to, become one in will and one in spirit while yet remaining individuals) with He who is Life eternal. This starts with our salvation from sin where the crucifixion of Jesus Christ was an act of sanctifying us by giving us special status - even though we are sinners given to and consumed by willing actions that separate us from oneness with God. We gain this salvation if we only accept the purpose of Christ for our lives by recognizing and accepting that He alone, as God incarnate, has the power to reconcile us to God and make it possible for oneness with God. He is the Way, the Truth, and quite literally the Life. Such concepts are hard for many to understand and therefore accept. Click on testimony.html or jesusword.html for more information. Upon His triumph over death including the darkness and agony of eternal death , by the power of God, His body was transformed and He prepared (created) a place in Heaven that where He is we may be also. Then after his ascension and marked by the Day of Pentecost he sends the Comforter (Holy Spirit) to all that believe - even now. This event of receiving the Holy Spirit seals our sanctification. Our sincerity has been tested and God's presence is manifested in our soul and we know at that time that we are joined to eternal Life. When this happens, even today, many receive a kind of spiritual baptism which manifests physically much like what happened on the Day of Pentecost with the disciples of Jesus. Receiving the Holy Spirit is the second step of sanctification performed by Christ. But we must remain faithful and so there is a third stage of sanctification which is the on going transforming work of the Holy Spirit within our souls. This transformation takes us from a person separated from God by sin to a person whose will is merged with that of God such that the transformation moves in the direction of being Christ like. We are all called into the service of Christ by exercising God's love in us to do work that supports the saving of souls from eternal death and the growth of fellow Christians. This does not mean that every Christian is called to be a pastor, missionary, evangelist, teacher, or healer. But we are called to do all things as unto our Lord. As we become more Christ like we inherit His powers.

It is this last stage of sanctification that brings us to the purpose of this web site. A revival is coming like not has been seen since the Christian movement began. This revival will happen with or without my or your participation. In fact, it has already started, many cannot see it happening. I for one would rather be an active participant than just stand back and count my blessings or use the excuse that the kingdoms of this world currently belong to Satan so the best we can do is to be as Christian as we can and wait it out till Christ returns, attend church and prayer meetings, give our time and money as we can afford to do so, and that sort of thing, even share our faith whenever we have the opportunity, and if we see a revival we will do what we can. Sounds practical but it's missing an essential ingredient.

That ingredient is on going sanctification. But what more can a Christian do than what was just covered? God wants the "body of Christ" - those believers who are bound to God through His Holy Spirit - to also be one. As we are one with God we should also be one with each other. The evidence of this is in the way we behave and interact with fellow Christians. Are we as anxious for their well being as we are for our own? Do we seek their involvement in our lives and our work for Christ and do we provide our involvement in their lives or do we do this to a limited extent just with the people in the church we attend. In fact, are we limited in doing this at all, for fear of offending someone or resenting their perceived interference, and that sort of thing. Now, this is a problem, I've seen it often. Regarding this kind of interaction, you are wrong if you do and you are wrong if you don't. Now I speak of Christians, those that profess the same faith, the same love, and the same purpose in life. Besides difficulties with this kind of interaction, I see many churches, many ministries all functioning within denominational boundaries each with it's own followers and with a constant demand upon those followers for financial assistance to support costly missionary and other outreach functions as well as elegant and costly church buildings and payrolls for those full time ministers and other helpers of the various ministries. I see pensioners giving up major amounts of money some of them really need. I see members of the congregation working day after day and giving up much of what they earn to support various ministries associated with their church or denomination. I also see prayer meetings and happy get together occasions of members with other members of the same church or denomination. I also see strife between some members of the congregations and between some ministers and members of the congregations. So is this to be expected-is this normal, the way things happen, just part of Christian life?

The point has been made - then why is it not evident by the examples. Because most of us have all accepted one of Satan's big lies. The lie is that what I have described is a normal thing - not to worry. What we are witnessing in the examples is that the "body of Christ" is divided into numerous denominations and ministries and a fantastic number of church buildings. Now I am not attacking these denominations, nor their associated ministries, nor the expenses incurred in doing missionary and outreach work, nor that pastors and others are on a payroll, nor that there are church buildings, nor that there are differences of opinion on many issues. And let me make it clear so there is absolutely no confusion. Over the last few hundred years the protestant movement has spawned all these many denominations as Christians became more versed in the scriptures and more able to listen to the Holy Spirit in their souls. This may have been the beginning of the great revival that I speak of which is coming. Also, it may have been necessary for these denominations to be spawned in order to avoid the stagnation of insight regarding what the scriptures teach and the work of the Holy Spirit in their souls. It may indeed have been the reviving of the body of Christ, the creating of an awareness in every Christians heart that they are each responsible before God, and not before man, regarding how they respond to the Holy Spirit. But as children become adults so one must give up childish things and take responsibility for the events of life. So it may be with the body of Christ, it may be time to give up that kind of behavior which spawns denominations and partitions within the body of Christ and adopt a new view of how to deal with stagnation with respect to Christian growth. Sure, there must be somewhere to congregate, to pray together, to work together, and that sort of thing. Who said that a congregation had to be so large that it requires a building the size of a hall to meet together. Again, not that any of this in itself is wrong. Why are the Christians that do meet together, sometimes in homes and as small groups, usually of the same denomination? And what does denomination have to do with the love of God. Is one denomination actually implicitly saying to another that they don't have enough value, they are not loved enough to associate with because there are doctrinal differences. Certainly that is not the intent, the intent was to separate in order to have the freedom to worship according to new insights of the scriptures and the desire for enriched spiritual growth. And that could not happen in a hostile environment. Sure again, if anyone really wants to come from another denomination to these gatherings they are usually welcome, in fact also non Christians do get invited. And it's certainly evident that most of these ministries, denominations, and churches do have a common goal "Christian growth and evangelism".

So the good has been served by partitioning the body of Christ, but only for a time, what now? It appears for the most part these ministries do their work within denominational boundaries and essentially compete with each other for the potential converts for membership and eventually financial support. Even in large evangelistic events converts are encouraged to pick a church to attend, in so doing they join into the denominational separation of the members of the body of Jesus Christ. Attending or even participating in the occasional interdenominational evangelistic outreach to win converts is not really bridging the problem.

I believe that the problem is quite simply that Christians (regardless of doctrinal differences) cannot create the necessary focus to reach the levels of sanctification required to realize in their lives the full extent of God's love, that if present in sufficient magnitude, could breach those doctrinal differences. This was not possible in times past because the body of Christ was reviving and had to partition to avoid the hostile environment regarding new insights into the scriptures and spiritual growth. But these new insights have brought us into a new perspective of God's love and the power of that love. For these insights we can give thanks to God for his servants in many of the great ministries associated with various denominations. These servants have been teaching that we must be attentive and "listen" to the Holy Spirit. But it appears we as Christians have collectively reached another point where to obtain the fullness of God in our lives we must do a paradigm shift but not in the form of another partition to the body of Christ because it is those partitions that now hold us back. Because we cannot breach those differences through love we separate according to a denominational boundary and try to stay on good terms. Stop and think for a moment. Picture the moment. Christ has returned. Many of these denominations have been waiting for just this event. Now it has happened. Denomination boundaries will simply dissolve. It is because there is not enough love, the real presence of God (for God is love) would just as would Christ if he were to return right now, melt away those boundaries as invalid for the body of Christ. There is a much greater love that can come out of members of the body of Christ that is not partitioned by denominational boundaries than can come out of one so partitioned - so divided. Christians focussing on the love of God which is the Life of God, are limited in their growth because of the lack of unity. Denominational boundaries tend to limit the movement of God's Holy Spirit within that boundary. Are we so blinded by Satan's lie that we cannot see that by implementing this lie "Continue to divide the body of Christ", he is using us against ourselves to shut off God's love through us. The denominational boundaries do no harm if we as Christians act as if they don't exist - if we don't rely on them - make them more important than love. This is the real issue. We can belong to a denomination but that should not impact our spiritual growth. But it impacts our spiritual growth if because we belong to a denomination we don't have full access and communion with all the saints. It is my opinion, and I believe it comes from the Holy Spirit, and it will prove out to be true, that if we as Christians had fellowship with all spirit filled Christians regardless of denomination then our interaction and oneness with the body of Christ would develop to it's fullness with which comes full power. For our oneness with God implies a similar oneness with the body of Christ and as long as one or the other is lacking then I believe the work of the Holy Spirit cannot complete in our souls the fullness that is possible.

The theme of this web site is sanctification towards the ultimate fullness of God's love which is Life eternal as manifested in our souls by the Holy Spirit sent to us by Jesus Christ, the Word of God. This involves a relentless focus on our part as Christians to see that love manifested and grow. Additionally, for that love to reach it's fullness we need to have it grow in partnership with the entire body of Christ not just a part. This means that all Christians everywhere must visualize in their focus that their oneness with God implicitly involves a oneness with the body of Christ. This means we have to learn to love each other as we have been loved by Jesus. As Jesus washed the feet of his followers we too must wash the feet of fellow Christians, that is love them with the Life we have been given by helping them acquire the same Life to the same extent. We don't just grow individually we grow collectively. We don't just focus individually we focus collectively. Only when this happens will a self sustaining revival, maybe the greatest in all history, take place or complete. I believe it will happen with or without me or you. But I want to be part of making it happen. I want to be part of building that focus throughout the body of Christ. It is a honor for me or you or anyone else to have such an opportunity to help.

So let's make the revival happen by taking the opportunity to help Christians everywhere seek sanctification towards the fullness of God's love which is Life eternal. Let's teach Christians and convince Christians worldwide to develop the necessary focus and learn to extend that focus into both oneness with God as well as oneness with the body of Christ. For this is the work of the Holy Spirit sent to us by Jesus Christ, to teach us of this love and focus so that we may participate in Life eternal. Let us by our ministries and other behavior and plans act as if there are no denominational boundaries. For if Jesus Christ has sent the Comforter (the Holy Spirit) to an individual then they are automatically a member of the body of Christ and not only require our love but should expect it and their focus should extend to the fullness of oneness with God as well as the world wide body of Christ where denominational boundaries should be invisible and where God's Holy Spirit moves in one and all to the same purpose and plan..
