The Works of the Father Part 2
Those who would say, with darkened understanding and false humility, who are void of the counsel of the Father, that none shall attain to the level of ministry of Jesus of Nazareth ... they know not that they oppose the will of the Father. Were it known unto them and were it known unto the body at large, it is the Father's will that many seeds come to maturity to walk as He walked, act as He acted, speak as He spoke, and have the same results that Jesus of Nazareth had.
He is the pattern, the original sent forth. He is the Mark that believers are to strive toward. To say it is impossible is to oppose the will of the Father. Say it no longer! Hearken not to those that say it for they have not yet understood the Father's mind.
There is only one Christ. There is only one Lord. Jesus is Lord of all. He is the head of the Church. All glory goes unto Him and He will not share His glory with another. Yet it is His mind that all believers may attain to the level of ministry which they see in His humanity as recorded in Matthew, Mark, Luke and John. He is the Pattern. He is the Mark for which all believers are to strive.
Has not He sent forth the same life into their hearts? Has not He sent forth the same Comforter to anoint that life with the dominion of the Father? Has not He said that in the same way that the Father sent Him, so now He has sent them? Does He not expect for them to have the same results He had?
This is the true meaning of the scripture which says, "Jesus Christ the same yesterday, and today, and forever." His ministry has not changed. But His ministry is multiplied. His purpose has not changed. But the effectiveness of His ministry has multiplied. Fear not those and hear not those who speak opposing counsel to the intent and purpose of the Father as revealed in the mind of Christ by the Comforter Whom He has sent forth to instruct and anoint the body.
So what has been the result of the enemy's triumph by separating believers from the counsel of the Comforter Who proceeds from the throne of the Lamb? The work of man is substituted for the work of the Father. Even when it is the work of man in the name of the Father, it falls short to the point of not being considered when compared to the direct working of the Father by the Spirit.
The work of man cannot restore the fallen material realm to the will of the Father which is in heaven. Only by the working of the Father, by the Spirit, through the life of Christ in believers can true restoration be accomplished, says the Spirit of Grace.
This was the true warning issued to you by the Lord's servant who said, "Word of warning. Lord, I understand, this work is of You and not of man."
I have spoken these things unto you this day that you may go and consider and ponder them in your heart. As you consider and ponder these things, prepare your heart once more to place all on the altar of the mind of Christ for your life. I will meet with you here again tomorrow and together we will examine your works to see whether they are wrought in God, says the Spirit of Grace.
Know that you are loved.
