THE INCARNATION OF CHRIST IN YOU

ONENESS IS UNION WITH GOD

88helps

‘Oneness with God’ is not the anointing. Neither is it the gifts of the Spirit. ‘Oneness’ is our living in the achievement of Christ on the cross – the incarnation of Christ in us.

The Christ of God has come to you and to us. The kingdom of God is not about keeping close to Jesus. People need to know that there are no steps to Christ that one must take. Christ has sought you out. He has come to you. The trinity has engaged in an enterprise of grace to come to us and enfold us in the Family of God in the person of Jesus Christ. You are reconciled to God in Jesus Christ. Faith and obedience are about living in our inheritance - the inheritance Paul calls the togetherness of the Free Woman.

NOT DOING
Moses writes this about the righteousness that is by the law: “The person who does these things will live by them.”  But the righteousness that is by faith says: “Do not say in your heart, ‘Who will ascend into heaven?’
”  (that is, to bring Christ down)  “or ‘Who will descend into the deep?’”  (that is, to bring Christ up from the dead).  But what does it say? “The word is near you; it is in your mouth and in your heart,” Rom 10.5-8 NIV.

Faith and obedience are expressed by living in this Presence that is in you and with you. Leanne Payne urges Believers to live in the incarnation and not in religious substitutes for the Real Presence.

Oneness with God is not preaching sermons or teaching in the seminary. Neither is it healing in the power of Jesus. Oneness is union with God.

‘But the person who is joined to the Lord is one spirit with him’ 1 Cor 6.17 NLT.

PARADISE REGAINED
Davis Marshall writes, ‘
Although words cannot describe Oneness, some words seem to have the ability to elicit memories of those times in our lives when we have been consciously aware of the Real. Although memories of nonduality are not the same thing as present awareness of nonduality, memories can help us recognize it now. My memories of such times are accompanied by a wistful sense of recalling something long-forgotten. It is like déjà vu. It has a feeling of familiarity. It is recognition (re-knowing) of a truth that I did not even know I knew. That is why when we hear someone speak truth, we recognize it instantly, although we cannot explain how we know it is true.” (1)

SEEKING ITS REALITY
This is because oneness is what we lost. It’s what the heart longs for. It’s possibly what the spirit remembers and probably what the human spirit knows it already has. But the mind does not know it yet. It’s our inherent sonship waiting to be awakened that is ‘deep calling to deep’.

Living in bits and pieces of the law is for workers and slaves, and possibly for dogs and their bones. But not for kings and priests who have inherited oneness with God. Live where you are in Jesus Christ. Live who you are as sons/daughter of God. Live one with Christ because He is your life in fact and by the Spirit.

Living our oneness with Christ – the reality we have been given – we produce much life in all we do. This is the kind of life that is spirit and life. Living only as action man we are conduits of little of this life.

‘The Spirit gives life; the flesh counts for nothing. The words I have spoken to you—they are full of the Spirit and life’ John 6.63 NIV.
