The Church Past, Present and Prophetic Part 20

Pastor Kerry Wilson

The Church Past, Present and Prophetic Part 20

I am not going to measure, reason, or imitate the past, I am going to participate in the future. 2 Corinthians 5:16 King James Version (KJV) 16Wherefore henceforth know we no man after the flesh: yea, though we have known Christ after the flesh, yet now henceforth know we him no more.

The Church Past, Present and Prophetic Part 20

This is the final stage of perfection for the church, our greatest challenge will be the ability of the church, and more importantly you to recognize , by the Holy Spirit in these last days the what, where and how that the principalities of darkness are trying to invade the church and more importantly the mind of the believer.

The Church Past, Present and Prophetic Part 20

The mission of the Church is much greater than the destiny of the World System. Our participation in the eternal plan of God is a mandate for the salvation of man. We can only change this world to the degree that we are connected to Heaven. Notice the flow of connectedness from heaven to earth in these verses .

The Church Past, Present and Prophetic Part 20

John 17:21-23 King James Version (KJV) 21That they all may be one; as thou, Father, art in me, and I in thee, that they also may be one in us: that the world may believe that thou hast sent me. 22And the glory which thou gavest me I have given them; that they may be one, even as we are one: 23I in them, and thou in me, that they may be made perfect in one; and that the world may know that thou hast sent me, and hast loved them, as thou hast loved me.

The Church Past, Present and Prophetic Part 20

I have this glory, it is not an abstract term, something that I observe and study. This glory must be manifested. God is sovereign, in the plant, animal, and in nature itself there is a glory, We have no participation in all this glory. God acts in nature and we see His manifestation in all of life. However in man, we are made of the same stuff, in His likeness and in His image.

The Church Past, Present and Prophetic Part 20

We manifest His glory in the physical sense, we are part of this, the glory comes from heaven but not apart from and through us 1 Corinthians 15:38-41 But God giveth it a body as it hath pleased Him, and to every seed his own body. All flesh is not the same flesh: but there is one kind of flesh of men, another flesh of beasts, another of fishes, and another of birds.

The Church Past, Present and Prophetic Part 20

There are also celestial bodies, and bodies terrestrial: but the glory of the celestial is one, and the glory of the terrestrial is another. There is one glory of the sun, and another glory of the moon, and another glory of the stars: for one star differeth from another star in glory.

We are sowing from the natural in faith that it will bring forth the spiritual. Each of you represent a seed in the natural, if you sow it to this system, you will reap from this system. If you sow you life into the spiritual, you will reap the supernatural. This life only gives us a glimpse of the true glory of God through man, God is searching for people who will sow His glory into this world.

The Church Past, Present and Prophetic Part 20

Ephesians 4: 13-15 till we all come in the unity of the faith, and of the knowledge of the Son of God, unto a perfect man, unto the measure of the stature of the fulness of Christ: That we henceforth be no more children, tossed to and fro, and carried about with every wind of doctrine, by the sleight of men, and cunning craftiness, whereby they lie in wait to deceive; but speaking the truth in love ..

The Church Past, Present and Prophetic Part 20

I want you to notice that the deception is propagated by men, men who have allowed the seed of reason to produce fruit in the last days. Fruit that will bear the sting of death attached to it I refuse reason in my life, I choose reality, or the knowing of truth as given by the Holy Spirit.

The Church Past, Present and Prophetic Part 20

Our perfection and the ensuing glory will depend upon our ability to grasp what is real and what is false ..

This is the crux of the last days church, will they allow reason which will be embraced as reality, because of the spirit of delusion, or will they embrace reality, which is revealed by the Spirit of Truth.

The Church Past, Present and Prophetic Part 20

John 16:13-15 13Howbeit when he, the Spirit of reality, is come, he will guide you into all reality: for he shall not speak of himself; but whatsoever he shall hear, that shall he speak: and he will shew you things to come. 14He shall glorify me: for he shall receive of mine, and shall shew it unto you. 15All things that the Father hath are mine: therefore said I, that he shall take of mine, and shall shew it unto you.

The Church Past, Present and Prophetic Part 20

Jesus speaks prophetically concerning the coming of the Holy Spirit. The Holy Spirit is given to allow us to enjoy knowing as God knows, not in the exhaustive sense, or in omniscience, but for us to achieve the goal of perfection. Spiritual Perfection can be defined by the degree to which the believer understands the reality (truth) of any given circumstance, event, or situation.

The Church Past, Present and Prophetic Part 20

It requires living in the supernatural , the supernatural begins in the way we think, our minds and then the servant of the mind, the body, will remain challenged in this area until the Rapture. Hebrews 5:14 but strong meat belongeth to them that are of full age, even those who by reason of use have their senses excercised to discern both good and evil.

The Church Past, Present and Prophetic Part 20

We are no match for the devil in our intellect, we must have the impartation of the Spirit of Truth in order to manifest the glory and power of God. The world is defined as the mass of thoughts, ideas, and opinions that are contrary to God. It is more than the commission of sin, it is the danger of being deceived in the area of righteousness ..

The Church Past, Present and Prophetic Part 20

2 Thessalonians 2:7-12 For the mystery of iniquity doth already work: only he who now letteth will let, until he be taken out of the way. And then shall that Wicked be revealed, who the Lord shall consume with the spirit of his mouth, and shall destroy with the brightness of his coming: Even him whose coming is after the working of Satan with all power and signs and wonders,

and with all deceivableness of unrighteousness in them that perish; because they received not the love of the truth, that they might be saved. And for this cause God shall send them strong delusion, that they should believe a lie: That they all might be damned who believed not the truth, but had pleasure in unrighteousness.

The Church Past, Present and Prophetic Part 20

Let me give you an example of the mystery of iniquity. If a man sins, and then says that he did not sin, that is a lie .. If a man sins, and then says that what he did was not a sin, to the degree that he believes it, this is delusion

The Church Past, Present and Prophetic Part 20

The two greatest impartations of the Holy Spirit are revelation and discipline .. Revelation is more than knowledge, it is life in that knowledge, which produces spiritual maturity . Discipline is everything from the gentle nudging of the Spirit in matters of thoughts, deeds, plans..He also leaves us to our own devices to achieve dependence. Making intercession for us according to the will of God, our life, in reason, may seem horrible, but in reality, revealing God s glory

The Church Past, Present and Prophetic Part 20

I am going to slow down long enough to evaluate, meditate and sense my surroundings. I am going to listen for the unction of the Holy Spirit in matters that seem overwhelming to my natural man. I am going to remember that I have an adversary, and remind myself of the fact that Greater is He that is in me, than he who opposes me
