Part two


As citizens of that holy city, New Jerusalem, coming down from God out of heaven, prepared as a bride adorned for her husband, our passports are stamped with the blood of Calvary, our visas are inked with the blood of the Lamb; and all are sins are written in the Book with invisible ink, for theyve disappeared from the record of our lives.

Jesus did not grant us citizenship in his eternal kingdom so that we might establish a religion based on him, no, he came to give us life - resurrection life powerful enough to raise us all from among the dead to be counted among the living. He does not want a religion, even one built on his name, he wants to be the cornerstone upon which all that we are and ever will be is built. For he is a strong and sure foundation- our rock of Salvation, our rock of refuge, in the time of trouble he shall hide me in his pavilion: in the secret of his tabernacle shall he hide me, he shall set me up upon a rock, and the rain descended, and the floods came, and the winds of adversity blew, and beat upon that house; and it fell not: for it was founded upon a rock. He is the Rock upon which our lives are founded. His strength is what we trust in and lean upon to see us through. No matter where we walk, whether it be land or water, his word will bear us up and keep us safe. He did not come to establish an earthly kingdom or nation. The only natural kingdom he has ever personality established is Israel. All others are not his concerns except for how they treat Israel - the apple of his eye. Neither should any nation but Israel be our concern. He is concerned with the souls found in all nations, not the geopolitical boundaries men establish. He does not give heed to the religions men hold dear, no, his agenda is different. He is seeking to populate his holy city with souls that will be a part of his kingdom forever. Consequently,  we are the called according to his purpose, called out of darkness to glory. We are they which were not but now are, partakers of the heavenly calling and we are the general assembly of the firstborn, which are written in heaven, and we are come unto Mt. Zion, and unto the city of the living God, the heavenly Jerusalem, and to an innumerable company of angels.

We are not any longer Caucasian, Asian, Black or Latins. We are not Americans, Europeans, Africans or Asians. We are not even male or female. We are, in Christ Jesus,  a new creature, no longer of this world "They are not of this world, even as i am not of this world". Though we are in the world we are not of it. We are of "the world to come - whereof I speak. For here have we no continuing city, but we seek one to come.  Together,  we make up his bride - wherein are members heart picked from every earthly family,  nation, tribe and tongue.  Just as male and female, and hence all nations, were in Adam before God took his rib, so are all nations, male and female made one again in the second Adam, Jesus Christ our Lord.  Indeed, he had a wound open in his side like the first Adam....perhaps Father put the rib back he had given Adam. Regardless, we are now in a higher state of being - we are now liberated from all fleshly boundaries and lusts. We are called to sore with him in Spirit to ever new heights; causing our souls to delight in him, to rejoice in him, to fall in love with him.

So keep your eyes, the eyes of your understanding, upon Jesus: the author and finisher of your faith. For he who began a good work in you will be faithful to complete it. Your faith is in him alone, stop looking to flesh, to man. Stop looking at the world through carnal glasses. Do not see the nations the way those in the world do. Remember- there are only two nations on earth today - the offspring of Seth and the offspring of Cain. The citizens of the New Jerusalem and the citizens of Bab. This is reality as seen through the eyes of the Spirit. No Jew or Greek, male or female, black or caucasian - only those who are in Christ and those who are not. Those who do not love him and keep his commandments are dogs, and sorcerers, and whoremongers, and murderers, and idolaters and whosoever LOVETH AND MAKETH A LIE.
