Colossians One
15. Christ is the visible image of the invisible God. He existed before anything was created and is supreme over all creation, for through him God created everything in the heavenly realms and on earth. He made the things we can see and the things we can’t see such as thrones, kingdoms, rulers, and authorities in the unseen world. Everything was created through him and for him.
He existed before anything else, and he holds all creation together. Christ is also the head of the church, which is his body.
He is the beginning, supreme over all who rise from the dead. So he is first in everything. For God in all his fullness was pleased to live in Christ, and through him God reconciled everything to himself. He made peace with everything in heaven and on earth by means of Christ’s blood on the cross.
This includes you who were once far away from God. You were his enemies, separated from him by your evil thoughts and actions. Yet now he has reconciled you to himself through the death of Christ in his physical body. As a result, he has brought you into his own presence, and you are holy and blameless as you stand before him without a single fault.
But you must continue to believe this truth and stand firmly in it. Don’t drift away from the assurance you received when you heard the Good News. The Good News has been preached all over the world, and I, Paul, have been appointed as God’s servant to proclaim it.
As I was praying over these verses today and trying to absorb all of the eternal truth that they represent, Father’s voice came to me and he asked me to write down these words and share them with you.

As I was praying over these verses today and trying to absorb all of the eternal truth that they represent, Father’s voice came to me and he asked me to write down these words and share them with you.
He said:
My beloved children, you are perfect in my sight. You stand before me holy and blameless and righteous in my eyes. You must learn who you are and how holy you are.
My beloved children, you are perfect in my sight. You stand before me holy and blameless and righteous in my eyes. You must learn who you are and how holy you are.
The reason my children walk in darkness is because you don’t know how full of life that you are. You must hold on with all your might to this truth of my gospel. My son accomplished all that was needed to make you holy. He circumcised your sin nature and you are a new, resurrected, spirit creation. You are not a child of the flesh. You came from me and you are mine.
I know this seems impossible but with me all things are possible. I made you holy and if I said you are holy then that settles it. Not knowing this fact keeps you struggling to become what you already are.
Your enemy likes to blind your mind to who you are and how holy you are. If he can convince you that you are still a sinner you will commit sin even though it violates the nature of your new heart. Most of my children’s struggles with bad habits and sin are not due to a sin nature. That nature was taken away in my son. The habits and sin come from a misguided belief system that tells you that sin is normal for you for after all; you are just a poor sinner saved by grace so how could you ever expect to walk in true holiness?
You are a new creation made in the image of my son and to your spirit sin is just as unnatural as it would be to Jesus. Once your mind gets the true image of who you are then all these things will fall away. You must hold on minute by minute to the fact that you are a newly created holy being until your true identity becomes normal to you. You must practice your new holy nature until it becomes like comfortable clothing.
As a man thinks in his heart so is he: This means if you can change the thought of your heart to the truth of your new nature then you will live from this truth. If your heart continues to believe you are a sinner you will keep sinning. When you become convinced that you are holy and righteous you will live out of that heart and mindset. Out of your heart flows the issues of life, so when those issues are truth, you will live in truth and power. As long as you believe the lies you will live in sin and failure even though it’s not the real you.
My loved ones, this is the truth of the gospel. Why is it so hard to believe? It is because you hear lies day after day. In the pulpits, in the news, on the radio and TV and internet all bad news about how terrible people are and what terrible things they are doing. You tune out the greatest news ever told and tune in this garbage? They are programming you for failure. They know what they are doing. What is worse is that you are paying them to destroy you. My people are destroyed from a lack of knowledge.
I am calling you out of the lies and into the truth. I reconciled all things unto myself by the death and resurrection of my son. I was in Christ on the cross as I told you in what you call Second Corinthians Chapter Five. I was in Christ, we were and are one. I wasn’t on the throne turning my back on my son because I couldn’t look on sin. That is just another lie you have believed. I was in him becoming sin so that you could become holy. I took sin and destroyed it so that you could live in holiness without sin. What kind of monster do you think I am? Turn my back on my son when he needed me the most? No way!
I was there pouring out my grace upon you as I took your sin upon me. My grace is not given so you can sin and get away with it. My grace was given so that you could live in perfect holiness and never be troubled by sin again. I had to take away your sin so you could be established in holiness. Sin was your disease and I came in my son to cure you. It was the wrath of the law and the wrath of sin that was poured out on my son at the cross. The wages of sin is death. Jesus took your payday from sin.
I was not angry with him. And I am not angry with you. I am begging you with all my loving heart to see me as I am. I am a loving father who longs for his children to see what he gave them. To know me as I am so you will run to me and not run from me.

If you want to run from something, run from religion. What you call religion today is the doctrine of demons. Twisting the truth trying to take away my son’s glory and make you work for what he freely gave. As long as they keep you focused on your failures you won’t look at his success and give him glory. They keep you in bondage so that you won’t live with us in the freedom of holiness.
Just try for a moment to imagine that as of right now you were no longer capable of sin. You were not tempted to sin and sin became as ugly to you as a stinky sewer. Imagine all of your thoughts were pure and you were only motivated by love and never by greed or jealousy.

Imagine if you saw yourself in a mirror and all you could see was my glorious son shining through your face and out of your eyes. Imagine that everywhere you went you took the light and the fragrance of heaven with you.
Imagine that you always had perfect fellowship with me and you could see me at all times and could stand in front of my throne with the angels and not be ashamed.
Now, stop imagining. This is you! Take away the lies and this is you. Take away all the religious nonsense you have believed and this is you. You are washed in holy blood. You are healed by the blood that flowed from his stripes. His holiness is your inheritance. As he is so are you. You are my beloved children. It was his delight to win you back for me.
We love you so very much and we want you to stop running from us and start running to us because you are accepted. We understand that you didn’t go astray. You were led astray by those who had been led astray.

You know in your heart that there is a higher level of life to be lived. Only your mind separates you from that life. You died and your lives are hidden with me in my Son. This is truth but you can only live it if you learn to believe it.
No more formulas. No more struggling to become what you already are. Christ finished it all. Therefore he said “it is finished!” Do you believe it is finished and all that is left is for you to explore what he finished for you? Can you accept it as a free gift so that you can share it with others? Freely you have received, freely give.
My beloved, no more seeing each other or knowing each other after the flesh. See each other as new life spirit beings and keep calling each other to come up to this truth. No more judging and belittling. Do you really want to call unclean that which I made holy? When you call yourself a sinner you are calling me one. Just because you step in dung doesn’t make you dung. Throw off the darkness and live in light.
Shake off the lies of the sin nature that I killed already. That old man is dead. You are alive in me forever more. Learn how to live as one who is resurrected and not as one who is dying.

Please my beloved. Read these words until you realize that you are these words. You are holy because I made you holy. Live in my holiness and put away the lies. You are created in my image and my likeness. Holy is not what you do. It is who you are. This is you.
This was the end of the words he spoke to me a few moments ago. I hope you are encouraged by these words.
