Part two of my last post

 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 shed at Calvary. Our visa's are inked with the blood of the Lamb, and all are sins are written in the book with invisible ink - for they've disappeared from the record of our lives. Jesus did not grant us citizenship in his eternal kingdom so that we might establish a religion built around him, no, he came to give us life - Ressurection life powerful enough to raise us all from the dead to be counted among the living. He does not want a religion built around his name, he wants to be the cornerstone, upon which all that we are and ever shall be is built, for he is a strong and sure foundation - our "rock of salvation, our rock of refuge, for 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 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 focused - 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 words will bear us up and keep us safe.


He did not come to establish an earthly kingdom or nation, (sorry kingdom now apologeticists), no, the only natural kingdom or nation he has ever personally established is Israel - All others are not his concern 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 recognize man's authority- manmade boundaries,  natural or spiritual.  He does not give heed to the religions men hold dear, no, his agenda is very different. He is seeking souls to populate his holy city, to be his holy people, to be a part of his kingdom forever.  Consequently,  we are " the called according to his purpose, called out of darkness to glory. We are that which was not but now are., partakers of the heavenly calling and we are the general assembly and church of the first born, which are written in heaven" and we are "come unto mount Zion, and unto the city of the living God, the heavenly Jerusalem,  and to an innumerable company of angels". 

We are not caucasian,  asian, black or latino, we are not Americans, Europeans, Africans or Asians, etc. We are not even male or female. We are, in Christ, a new creature, no longer of this world - "They are not of the world, even as I am not of the 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 hand picked from every earthly family and nation and tribe and tongue. Just as male and female, and hence all nations, were in Adam before God took his rib and made Eve, so are all nations,  male and female made one again in the second Adam - Yeshua. Indeed, Father opened a wound in his side so he could put back the rib he originally took from Adam, we truly are all made "one in Christ". We are now in a higher state of being, freed from all fleshly boundaries and hinderances, invited to soar with him in Spirit to ever new heights, causing our souls to delight in him, to rejoice in him and again i say, rejoice! 

So set your eyes, the eyes of your understanding, upon Jesus, the author and finisher of your faith - keep your eyes on him, "for he who began a good work in you,  will be faithful to complete it". Your faith is in him alone, not Jesus plus your pastor or any other man. Stop looking to man, to flesh. Stop looking at the world through carnal glasses. Do not see the nations the way those in the world do - for there are only two nations on earth today - there are only two distinct peoples  - the offspring of Seth and the offspring of Cain. Put another way - there are only the citizens of the New Jerusalem and the citizens of Babylon. This is reality seen through the eyes of the Holy Spirit. No Jew or Greek, male or female, Asian or African or Caucasian, only those who are Christ's and those who are not. Not all those who name the name of Christ are his but those who keep his commandments.  Those who do not love and obey HIM are "dogs, and sorcerers, and whoremongers, and murderers, and idolaters and WHOSOEVER LIVETH AND MAKETH A LIE".

Does your passport read "Citizen of the United Souls of New Jerusalem" or does it read "Citizen of Babylon" - the great whore that sitteth upon many waters, with whom the kings of the earth have committed fornication? Whose bride are you? Jesus or Satan's? Stop praying for America or any other nation of flesh, and start praying for the New Jerusalem- pray that she will become densely populated,  full of souls, to God's great delight. Pray that Babylon will fall in our day, that even as Jericho fell, the wall of carnality and hate and fear that keeps people in Babylon will fall too. Pray for a great transference of souls from Babylon to the New Jerusalem,  even as millions are seeking asylum in America - may millions too seek asylum in the new Jerusalem in the coming days and years. All souls on earth either have the mark of the beast or the Holy Spirit of promise.

By praying for the New Jerusalem,  you are actually doing a great service for whatever earthly nation you find yourself in, for the more souls that leave the religion religion they created called Christianity and enter into the risen, living Christ, the better off the USA or any other nation will be because quite frankly, Christianity as a religion has been around for 2000 years and it just isn't working. The Puritans meant well I'm sure, but as a religion,  Christianity in America has been around for 240 years and it's not working. America is committing atrocities before God at levels never seen before. America has a "Form of godliness" but thats about it. It's all smoke and mirrors. America does good, according to the world's standards of good, but she falls far short of God's standard. The war for the soul of America has been on the losing side for far too long. Let's turn the tide, let's be the victorious, warrior bride that wields his authority and power - not man's.  Let's speakbhis name to advance his kingdom.  May men tremble and fear his name and not dare to mock it or use it as a curse. May his power and authority be known once again in us as it was in him. And above all other 0rayers, msy the wisdom to win souls  be imparted to all who call upon his name, winning them to that heavenly citizenship,  not any earthly gathering or denomination where man is in charge. Let us revel in relationship with him and one another, world without end, amen.
