The Revelation of Christ in All - pt. 5

Before time had a name there was a garden a place

where heaven and earth walked as one This is

the echoes of Eden Where we rediscover ancient

roots and awaken to our eternal purpose Well,

hey guys and welcome back we are on week Five

of the revelation of Christ in all we got one

more week after this lesson And that will conclude

this series and then we'll jump on to Whatever

comes next So I want to talk about this week

the truth that Christ holds all things together

And I like to say it this way if you look at

the word all in Greek all means all It is very

simple all means all and so when I help kind

of bring this back to reality a little bit. So

up to this point we have talked about identity,

we have talked about union, we have talked about

separation, about darkness, about deception,

but today we need to ground all this in something

that's unavoidable which is existence itself.

Because theology that doesn't explain existence

eventually will collapse. If Christ now think

about what I'm saying if Christ is not truly

central not just spiritually but ontologically

which simply means the nature of being uh existence

reality itself if he was to google this um but

if Christ is not truly central then everything

that we've said so far falls apart so today I'm

going to ask a very simple question What is actually

holding reality together right now? I'll repeat

that. What is actually holding together reality

right now? Scripture makes an outrageous claim

that not that Christ helps hold things together,

not that Christ influences creation, but that

Christ actively sustains existence. It is Christ

who was sustaining the very... Let me say it

this way. It is Christ that is sustaining all

of the life that you see around you. It is Christ

that is sustaining your life and my life and

the life of every individual that you meet. Their

life is being sustained by Christ. This is not

past tense. It's not future tense. No, this is

a present ongoing reality. This is not if you

say the right prayer, this is not if you do the

right steps, no. This is the present reality

of life itself. It is being held together by

Christ. And this is not just metaphor, no, this

is cosmology. And cosmology is simply, it's a

scientific study of the origin, evolution, structure,

and ultimate fate of the entire universe. It's

a present ongoing reality. Christ is actively

holding all of your life together. Every breath

you take is being sustained by the life of Christ.

So let's look, we're going to spend some time

in the book of Colossians for this video, this

teaching. So Paul says a few things in Colossians

chapter one. This will be the kind of the foundation

here. That all things were created through him.

All things were created for him and in him all

things are held together. I want to read some

in Colossians 1 as we open this up. I'm just

gonna start I believe probably in verse 13 just

because I like that. Let me just skim through

here really quick. Yeah, I think that's where

we're gonna start. We're gonna just start at

verse 13. I would encourage you to go read the

entire book of Colossians. It's a very short

book, but man there's so much stuff that's happening

that Holy Spirit can teach you through the book

of Colossians. So again I'm going to start at

verse 13. I'm reading out of the Passion Translation.

It says this, He has rescued us completely from

the tyrannical rule of darkness. Now listen to

the language. He has rescued. This is past tense,

means it's already done. As I said last week,

before you were born, before you were even considered,

before your great, great, great, great grandparents

were considered, this was the truth of your life.

And what I feel like my aim here and my goal

here today and through the course of this teaching

is to partner with Holy Spirit to hopefully.

unveil who you are already in Christ. That there's

no steps that you have to go and perform, there's

no magical formula, there's no special steps

that you have to take, a special saying, a prayer,

none of that has to be done. This is you repenting

of the word metanoeing and coming back to your

senses, coming back to your original design which

is only found and discovered in Christ. So he

has rescued you completely so there's nothing

that when I when I see the word completely he

has rescued us completely mean there's no part

that he left undone from the tyrannical rule

of darkness and has translated us into the kingdom

realm of his beloved son for in the Sun all here

that getting here is that again excuse me here

again is that word all means all in the Sun all

of our sins are cancelled and we have the release

of redemption through his very blood do you do

you catch what this is saying all of your sins

are cancelled when long before you took your

first breath this is why i don't believe in beating

people over the head about what they've done

where they've been their past because i don't

see it in the person of christ man if you go

read the song of songs I was actually listening

to a podcast today and they were talking about

this and I have felt the invitation from Holy

Spirit to read through this book each month this

year. So the first eight days of every month

I spend a chapter in the Song of Songs and I

just want to open this up. In Song of Songs chapter

one in Verse five, it has the Shulamite and the

shepherd king. So if you could understand that

you and I are the Shulamite, and of course the

shepherd king is Papa, the Shulamite says, I

know I am so unworthy, so in need. And the king

says, yet you are so lovely. The Shulamite says,

I feel as dark and dry as the desert tents of

the wandering nomads. And again, the king replies,

yet you are so lovely. What is happening here?

Not once does the king address the negative outlook

the Shulamite has on herself. He speaks to the

truth of her identity. And it's the same way

with Jesus. He doesn't beat you over the head.

Why? Because here's the truth. Whatever sin that

you feel like you're trapped in, that's not the

truth of who you are. That is the proof that

darkness has a hold on your mindset. And as Damon

Thompson, I believe, said it, that means that

you've not been hit yet with the necessary degree

of light and of love. Now think about what I'm

saying. This is how the Shulamite begins to think,

I know I'm so unworthy, I feel so dark, and yet

the king says, yet you are so lovely. He doesn't

even address, it's just like the prodigal son.

when he returns back to the father, he has this

line that is rehearsed about how horrible that

he's been. He's wasted all of his inheritance.

And when he gets to the father, he doesn't even

get to go through his rehearsal because the father

wants to hear nothing about it. No, the father

says, get my ring and a robe. My son has come

back to his senses. My son has come back home.

This is the truth. The truth is all of your sins

have been dealt with. Jesus effectively dealt

with your sin on the cross. When he declared

to Telestah, it is finished, he was saying everything

that needs to be done has been completed. Now

what is happening in your life and my life is

we are allowing Holy Spirit to... How can I say

this? We're allowing Holy Spirit to express maybe

that completeness, to unveil that completeness

to us, to allow us to live from the finished

work and not towards somewhere that we actually

already are. Man, this stuff is good. Verse 15

says, He is the divine portrait, the true likeness

of the invisible God and the firstborn heir of

all of creation. For in Him was created the universe

of things both in heavenly realm and on the earth,

and all that is seen and that is unseen. every

seat of power realm of government principality

authority it all exists through him and for his

purpose and it goes on to say now everything

finds completion inside of him listen my friend

you're not going to find your completeness anywhere

else except for Christ I think I've said this

earlier on in one of these other videos that

you can certainly find a season of your life

maybe where you can find some sort of makeshift

completeness, but at some point that's going

to run out. The only place you're going to find

your complete self is by staring into the eyes

of Yeshua. That is the only place you will actually

discover your identity. It won't be found in

a people group. It won't be found in a bottle.

It won't be found in drugs. It won't be found

in success. It won't be found in money. It won't

be found in new promotion. It's only gonna be,

again, some of that stuff may hold you for a

moment. It may satisfy you for a moment in time,

a split second in time. but it will not sustain

you. Eventually this falls apart. And the only

thing that you're ever going to find to satisfy

you forever and ever is by staring into the eyes

of Yeshua and allowing Christ to identify you,

to become your very life, to realize that it

is Christ in you and you are in Christ. And that

is when in that day, when you understand this,

that life truly begins. In that day, this is

not a future announcement of a day that's coming.

It's whatever day that you are waking up and

realize this is where I already am. I am found

and discovered inside of Christ and Christ resides

in me. I am the temple of the Holy Ghost. Man,

this stuff is, this gets really good, I'm telling

you. Let's see, for God is satisfied, this is

verse 19, for God is satisfied to have all his

fullness dwelling in Christ, and by the blood

of his cross, everything in heaven and earth,

and catch this, and by the blood of his cross,

everything in heaven and earth is brought back

to himself. My friend, you're included in everything.

back to its original intent, restored to innocence

again. So quit listening to the enemy run his

mouth in your ear. You are innocent. You've been

bought with a price. You are the righteousness

of God. Even though you were once distant from

him, living in the shadows of your evil thoughts

and actions, he reconnected you back to himself.

While you and I were lost out here, He reconnected

you back to Himself. And now there is nothing

between you and Father God, for He sees you as

holy, flawless, and restored. And my friend,

if He sees you as holy, flawless, and restored,

why would we choose to see ourself in any other

fashion? End of chapter one says, there's a divine

mystery, a secret surprise that's being concealed

from the world for generations, but now it's

being revealed. And my friend, I think I can

say now it's being revealed, unfolded and manifested

for every holy believer to experience. Living

within you is the Christ who floods you with

the expectation of glory. This mystery of Christ

embedded within us becomes a heavenly treasure

chest of hope Filled with the riches of glory

for his people and God wants everyone to know

it my friend They're going to know it through

you and I releasing that hope that is inside

of us announcing to others around us that there's

no special steps to get in you are already in

you were already included in the party now just

come over here awaken metanoia awaken to your

true identity discovered in Christ metanoia come

back to your senses and you join the party have

the zoe life have the God kind of life that's

been given by Christ to you and to I man this

is good stuff So we see here again all things

are created through him that created for him

and he holds all things together Notice that

Paul does not say that believers hold together

in Christ Paul does not say that the redeemed

hold together in Christ or held together in Christ

He says no all things are held together inside

of Christ if you remove Christ and reality Excuse

me if you remove Christ and reality disintegrates

Remove Christ and reality disintegrates. This

means Christ is not merely the solution to sin.

He is the very source of being and he has canceled

every effect of sin. All you and I have to do

is partner with Holy Spirit, begin to awaken

to this truth, to this revelation that your sin

has been dealt with. Listen, this is not about

you trying to crucify your flesh. This is not

about you trying to kill and defeat your sin.

No, my friend, your sin has been defeated by

Christ. When Jesus stretched forth his arms on

that cross, it was not just Jesus giving up his

life. No, what he was doing was crucifying Adam.

Lord have mercy, if we would catch some of this.

Every human being, now hear me very clearly.

This is where I start getting in trouble. Every

human being, regardless of belief, regardless

of morality, regardless of awareness, draws breath

because Christ sustains life. Do you know what

that means? That means when the Muslim breathes

their breath, it is Christ sustaining their life.

When the Hindu breathes their breath, it is Christ

sustaining their life. When the member of the

LGBTQ plus whatever community Takes the breath

it is it is it is it is Christ sustaining their

life when the politician Takes their breath it

is Christ Sustaining their life if Christ were

not present in a person their sales would stop

functioning their consciousness would cease and

their existence would collapse why because Christ

sustains all things Everything is in Christ and

Christ is in all Life does not wait for belief

to function. Belief awakens awareness. And it's

Christ that sustains existence. Let me think

about what I just said. Life does not wait for

belief to function. Life keeps on going. This

is why your belief does not make something true

or untrue. Truth is truth regardless of your

participation in it or not. But how much better

is it to just participate in what is true? The

truth is you are in this the truth is none of

this rests on you And listen my friend if you

take what I'm saying you hear what well Chris

You're just giving people the license to sin

number one. They don't need a license to do it.

They're doing just fine without a license Number

two if that's the message that you hear that

I'm not even speaking to you Because here's the

truth and this is why I believe scripture says

the phrase let he that has an ear hear what the

Spirit is saying Because you can hear this you

can hear here and not hear here Now think about

what I'm saying. You might hear it through this

ear, but are you hearing it properly through

this ear? If you're just wanting to take this

message and it's like Paul said now that we have

this grace message Should we go on sinning? Absolutely

not Paul makes this statement if we sin does

that mean that we could have a life free from

it. I believe so That's just my thoughts listen

listen you can believe what you want you can

think how you want I'm just trying to help you

see the good news the gospel and This is my thought

this is the conversation of how the Holy Spirit

if I can take your gospel and make it better

than what you have is not the gospel I Like the

way Damon Thompson has put it If you take the

gospel, think about it like this, if you were

to be taking a test, and some of you may not

like tests, I get it, I don't care for tests.

But if you're taking a test, it's like Jesus

is standing over your shoulder giving you the

answers. Now that's pretty good news, right?

You're sitting there, you're doing the little

bubbles or circling or whatever you're doing,

and Jesus is right there giving you the answers

to the question. That's good news. But what's

better than that is when Jesus comes up to your

desk and asks you to get up and then he sits

down and takes a test for you. That my friend

is the gospel. Think about this. So here's where

the logic becomes unavoidable. And I think I

probably mentioned some of this last week but

it bears mentioning again if christ were not

in someone that person would have to be number

one they'd have to be self -originating number

two they would have to be self -sustaining and

number three they'd have to be independent of

god which would make them divine so there we

have a problem but scripture is clear there is

one source of life So that when we when we say

when someone says that Christ is not in someone

we are unintentionally saying they exist apart

from God and that's not biblical that is One

of the terms I found here that is philosophical

dualism is what that is It's definitely not biblical.

I know what I want to say this This was something

that Earlier on when I began to have this revelation

man, Holy Spirit had a question or conversation

Surrounding I want to share it with you Because

you may have the thought well Christ can't be

in somebody because they act a particular way

They're doing some particular activity that would

be considered sinful And this is, again, I can

only share my revelation and how Holy Spirit

gave it to me. I think about my children. All

three of my children, they have half of my DNA

and half of my mother's DNA. Now, if one of my

children, heaven forbid, were to go and completely

AWOL and act contrary to the nature that... their

mom and I know them to be. Here's the question.

Does them acting, does them acting apart from

their nature ever mean that my DNA is not in

them? Absolutely not. And it's the same way with

Christ. Just because someone is acting out of

nature. acting in a way that does not reflect

Christ. They're acting in what we would deem

a sinful way. In no way does that mean that Christ

is not in the individual. It means that they're

living in darkness. That's about as plain as

I can make that. They are living in darkness.

and they need to wake up come back to their senses

come back to their original design and live from

that point which I believe helps when you and

I begin to to live in that light and reflect

that light and shine that light and allow Christ

to shine through us to light up their darkness

and to help them see hey there's a better way

that's just that's a freebie I won't charge you

anything for that But that's just something that

me and Holy Spirit had that conversation about

looking at my own children and realizing that

half my DNA is in my daughters and my son. And

if they were to act outside of their nature,

there's no way does my DNA just leave them. No,

they will always be my children. Regardless of

how they want to act or behave, it does not change

the truth of who they are. They are my children,

they have my DNA inside them. Just something

to, that's just something to think about. Because

I think the same applies to when you have Christ

in all. It's the same message. Anyhow, let me

move on, find me where I'm at in my notes. So

let's look at Colossians chapter two. This one

I wanna read. I wanna read verses nine through

15, but I think I want to back up a little bit

further. Let me read verse six first. It says,

in the same way you received Jesus, our Lord

and Messiah by faith, continue your journey of

faith, progressing further into your union with

Him. your spiritual roots go deeply into his

life as you continually, as you are continually

infused with strength, encouraged in every way.

Now let me skip over to verse nine again, I'm

gonna read probably nine through 15. So for he

is, and he being Jesus is the complete fullness

of deity living in human form and our own completeness.

Our own completeness is now found in Him. We

are completely filled with God as Christ's fullness

overflows within us. He is the head of every

kingdom and authority in the universe. Through

our union with Him, we have experienced circumcision

of part. Now again, stop and ask the questions.

How did you get into union with Him? and this

this is again why I like to mess with people

because if you can point to a prayer that you

prayed or an altar that you went to or some steps

that you performed to join into union with him

we are now back to workspace salvation no my

friend this is a free gift and all you and i

have to do we like to throw around the word repent

but let's understand what the word repent actually

means we all need to metanoia and come back to

our senses So through our union with him, your

union is right now. Wake into it, live from it.

We have experienced circumcision of heart. All

of the guilt and power of sin has been cut away

and is now extinct because of what Christ the

Anointed One has accomplished for us. So all

of the guilt. The power of sin has been cut away

and is now extinct because of what Christ the

Anointed One has accomplished for us. So the

only power that sin and guilt gets is the power

that you and I relinquish to them. You cut them

off and it stops it. I'm telling you this is

more simple than we understand them. We have

complicated it. For we have been buried with

him into his death. Again, this happened before

you breathed your first breath, before you were

conceived in your mother's womb. We have been

buried with him into his death. Our baptism into

death also means we were raised with him and

we believed in God's resurrection power. The

power that raised him from death's realm, the

realm of death, describes our former state. For

we were held in sin's grasp. But now we've been

resurrected out of that realm of death Never

to return for we are forever alive and forgiven

of all of our sins This is not about you asking

for forgiveness This is you living in an identity

that you are forgiven. Listen, your identity

is forgiven. The truth is Christ. Go back and

read the gospels when Jesus would forgive people.

Not one time do you see them asking for forgiveness.

No, he was giving forgiveness and calling them

forgiven as a means of identity. Because if you

could ever understand the truth that you are

forgiven, maybe you could learn to forgive yourself

and live. from the truth that you are in union

you are one with Christ right now and what happens

when you begin to believe like believe that and

begin to walk in that measure of faith and in

that kind of let me say it this way Zoe the God

kind of life. What happens when you begin to

realize that I am forgiven, I am redeemed right

now, there is nothing special I have to do, I've

already been included in everything that Christ

did, sin has lost its grip on me, guilt and shame

have no authority in my life. And you begin to

live in such a freedom that your whole life begins

to glow and release a glory and a light to everyone

that you come in contact with. I gotta calm down

just a little bit. Calm down just a little bit.

Where was I at? This room of death can't heal,

but we've never been resurrected. Oh, yeah, we

are never to return for we are forever alive

and forgiven of all our sins. He canceled out

every legal violation we had on our record in

the old arrest warrant that stood to indict us.

He erased it all. Again, all means all. And again,

I know this is crazy to think about, but this

was written before you ever made your first sin,

before you ever even thought about sinning. This

was written in that moment. He erased it all,

our sins, our stained soul. He deleted it all.

They cannot be retrieved. Everything that we

once were in Adam has been placed onto his cross

and nailed permanently there as a public display

of cancellation. Then Jesus made a public spectacle

of all the powers and principalities of darkness

Stripping away from them every weapon and all

their spiritual authority and power to accuse

us and by the power of the cross Jesus led them

around as prisoners in a possession of triumph

He was not their prisoner They were his go back

up a little bit and says everything we once were

in Adam The old Adam's self has been placed onto

his cross and nailed permanently there as a public

display of cancellation. But you know what we

have been taught is that we need to crucify our

flesh every single day. Let me help free you

from that religious nonsense, my friend. Adam

this plainly says Adam was placed onto his cross

and nailed permanently there on the cross so

quit Resurrecting a dead man. The Adam self has

been nailed permanently to the cross. There is

nothing left for you to crucify that Adam old

flesh nature has been effectively crucified by

the finished work of christ and it is now like

paul said it is no longer i who live but it is

christ who lives in me do we understand that

paul hits such a level of freedom that he begins

to look at a group of people and declare i have

wronged none of you now let me remind you that

paul was saw and he was he would he was hunting

followers of christ he was hunting Christians

and having them killed why because he believed

in the law He has so much passion in the law

that he was willing to stand for it not understanding

that the law Was pointing to Christ Christ was

the fulfillment of this law Paul was trying to

protect it So he was killing followers of Christ

He was killing Christians and then when he has

his conversion from Saul to Paul He begins to

stand up in front of a group of people, look

out on them. I would have to believe that he

probably killed some of their family members.

And he begins to say, I have wronged none of

you. How do I believe that he was able to do

that? Because he believed what this verse actually

says when he says, that Adam was nailed permanently

there on the cross. That man is dead. He has

been dealt with. My sin has been erased. I am

forgiven. I am a new creation in Christ. This

is who I am now with my identity. Dear Jesus,

help me. Paul now takes this cosmic truth and

applies it to humanity in Christ. Because it's

in Christ that all fullness dwells bodily Accusation

is completely canceled powers are disarmed shame

is stripped and triumph is public Man, that's

good news. This is good news He stripped them

away from every weapon and all their spiritual

authority and power to accuse us again What power

does the accuser have except for the power that

you and I relinquish to him? Stop giving away

that power and be identified in His word be identified

in the life of Christ, be identified by the Holy

Spirit. Let this thing come alive to you and

speak to the truth of your being that you are

found, you are sealed in Christ, you are found

in Christ, you were found in Christ. Long before

you were lost in Adam, the accuser gets no voice

in your life. Listen, all this right here, all

fullness dwells bodily, accusations cancel, powers

disarm, shame is stripped, triumph is public.

This is not potential language. I know this is

an announcement. This is announcement language.

Nothing in this passage is waiting for activation.

It is describing, Paul was describing in Colossians

2 here, it is this, he is describing what has

been accomplished, what is true right now. Listen

we live in a I live in America if you're watching

this in America. We are a free nation You do

not have to go out and fight every day for your

freedom If we don't do that in this great nation

of America, then why do we do it in the spiritual

realm? When we have more freedom in the spiritual

than we do in any any way a nation can give us

Thank You Holy Ghost for that revelation Understand

this is canceled accusation It's not managed

guilt. No, this is canceled accusation. Notice

what Paul says was removed, the handwritten record

of accusation. It's not behavior. It's not people.

It's not humility. No, he's removing accusation.

He's removing guilt. He's removing shame because

accusation, not sin, is what sustains separation.

listening to the voice of the accuser to accuse

you of this, that, and the other is what will

try to begin to sustain separation in your life.

But once you remove accusation, once you remove

the guilt and the shame, that lie collapses.

And you understand, no, your life is hidden in

Christ. This is about union with your Father.

You are one with the Trinity. You have been invited,

as Baxter Krueger says it, you've been invited

into the circle dance of Father, Son, and Spirit.

It's perichoresis. Man, if you would ever catch

this revelation, not only does it change you,

it will begin to open your eyes and you will

see all the world around you through the lens

of Christ. You will begin to see as heaven sees.

all those you come in contact with and then you

will begin to understand that the person who's

acting in a what would you would call a sinful

way is nothing but living in darkness and they

need your light this and the problem was never

presence the problem was never god's absence

it was never christ distance it was never heaven

being closed off from somebody no the problem

was always a false perception Again, go back

to Colossians, I believe it's in Colossians 1,

different translation says that you were alienated

in your minds. This is what got in the way. You

and I had a wrong perception. I've spent 20 plus

years, 30 years living from a wrong perception.

wrong perspective thinking that I was separated

I had to find my way back to God know the truth

of the gospel and this is the scandal of grace

is that he smuggled himself into humanity and

blew it up from the inside out he's the one that

came back to us he was not satisfied you believe

that you were separated That's why I know I mentioned

it last week That's why he sunk into the darkest

the most delusional state of mankind and begin

to use the phrase my god my god Why have you

forsaken me? To go back that deep and rescue

that mindset to help you realize that there was

never separation on his end You are the ones

that were delusional and then he ends within

my into your hands. I commit my spirit alienated

in their minds you were not alienated in God

you was not alienated in Christ and you was not

alienated in being no you were alienated inside

of your own mind we were on the delusional side

oh let me see I'm going to try to begin to wrap

this up a little bit. So while this doesn't automatically

fix behavior, this is where people get nervous.

If this is true, why do people live in darkness?

Because truth doesn't override consciousness.

It goes back to what I said. Your belief in something

does not make it true or untrue. Truth is truth

regardless of your participation, of your belief,

of any of that. Truth is still truth. Truth is

inviting us light doesn't force itself it reveals

union does not eliminate blindness no it exposes

it so this whole thing this awakening this um

metanoeing i guess you could even say it's a

process it's you coming back to your design coming

back to your original creation, your original

blueprints that is found only in Christ. It's

a journey my friend. It's allowing Holy Spirit

to do what the Holy Spirit does best and that

is the transformative work inside of you and

I. It's the Holy Spirit that produces the fruit.

It's the Holy Spirit that produces transformation.

All we have to do is learn how to yield. Listen,

we are not recruiters. This is not about joining

the military, going out and doing a recruitment

program. No, we are revealers of this is where

you already are. This is where you belong. You

are one with Christ right now. You have been

freed. Listen, shame and guilt does not get a

voice in your life unless you give it to them.

You don't have to live under that pressure. You

don't have to live under condemnation. You don't

have to live under religious bondage any longer.

No, you can come to the free work. You can come

to the free life. I don't want to say that. You

can come to the free life of Christ. You can

come and discover the zoe life. There we go.

We don't wreck it. We don't bring Christ into

situations. No, we recognize Christ is already

present This is the fascinating part that wherever

you and I go we get to carry the kingdom with

us My friend a guy that I'm learning under right

now dub Alexander he likes that he says it this

way and I'll probably butcher it but I Want to

try to get it, right? He likes to say this, he

says, when you show up on the scene for an individual,

maybe it's a family member or a friend, whatever,

when you show up on the scene, everything just

shifted in their favor. Why? Because you carry

the kingdom of heaven with you. You're an ambassador.

He likes to say you're an ambadasador. What you

think about that one? I like that. But we recognize

Christ is already present and here's the thing

when when you and I sons and daughters begin

to walk in awareness The environment begins to

align Not because that we're powerful but because

truth in its very nature carries authority From

Genesis to right now God breathes life into humanity

that breath my friend has never been revoked.

Every breath is testimony that you are sustained

by God. Every single breath you take is sustained

by God. Existence itself is grace. Man this stuff

is good. Colossians 3 .1, Christ's resurrection

is your resurrection too. This reading, your

life is hidden away in God in Christ and as Christ

himself is seen for who he really is, who you

really are will also be revealed for you are

now one with him in his glory. Let me encourage

you with this as we close. This is Colossians

3, the latter part of verses 7 and 8. It says,

lay aside your old Adam's self with its masquerade

and its disguise, for you have acquired new creation.

New creation life which is continually being

renewed into the likeness of the one who created

you giving you the full revelation of God My

friend I challenge you go Go read Colossians

this this this book is life -changing If you

allow it to get inside of you i want you to think

about this as we close number one i like i like

to end right there lay aside your old Adam self

with this masquerade in disguise you can listen

you are free i know what it is to wear the mask

you are free to lay the mask down and just i

hear you holy spirit and just be just be what

What am I supposed to be? No, just be. Not just

go do, no just be. Take that mask off and just

be. You've acquired new creation life. You have

acquired new creation life. My friend, you are

a new creation right now. Christ is your source.

Christ is your sustainer. Stop believing in living

by separation, but live by union. Every single

breath you take, Should remind you that you are

held together in him Regardless of what you're

facing regardless of what you're dealing with

your life is held together by him and He's bigger

than this mountain. He's bigger than this present

circumstance We got one more week my friend If

Christ holds all things together then who is

Paul? talking to when he calls people saints.

That's what we'll talk about next week. Take

this, let it sink in. Again, lay aside the at

-himself, lay aside the masquerade, lay down

the masks, lay down the pretending, and just

be. Until next week, my friend. Be blessed.
