Sitting With Christ on His Throne!

[Chapter 2 of the Book The Eleventh Commandment]

God’s Purpose Fulfilled

Think about it. “The right to sit with Me on My throne…” These are Christ’s words. Some will overcome all doubts and fears, and He will bid them to come up to the throne and sit down with their King and Creator!

That is a serious promise. There is no greater honor than to sit with Him on His throne. This is it. This is the highest calling that can be attained in the entire universe: to rule with Christ during the Thousand Year Reign.

But those who will sit with Him must first overcome their old nature and any vestiges of it. They must forsake all else, “put their hands to the plow and not look back” to their first worldly life. They must “sell all that they have” and “give, expecting nothing in return.” This is where He rebukes and disciplines those He loves. He commands us to be earnest about these rebukes and to repent. This high calling is the ultimate walk on this earth. This is for all the marbles. There is nothing greater.

Yet God knows our indolence. He knows that we are foolish and are “slow of heart” to believe His word concerning His plan to reproduce Himself in us. He knows that it takes time to get rid of false thinking and to begin to think His thoughts. So He reminds us. He reviews His pur-pose and plan to fulfill it. For He knows that our minds are finite, poorly attuned to the Infinite One’s thought. Our Father said as much. “For my thoughts are not your thoughts, neither are your ways my ways…” (Isa. 55:8).

Even when a heart yearns for the truth, when new light dawns, often that heart refuses to believe. And even if the new truth is not rejected by us, it can fade in the darkness of trials and temptations. Such is the word about God’s purpose and His plan to fulfill it. We all need a review of what matters the most to our Father, according to His own thoughts.

His purpose for His creation is to reproduce Himself. You have heard it here before, but until it becomes the lyrics to the song our heart sings, we must hear it again. God is in the process of reproducing agape Love—in us. He will use the human being to do this—not an animal or vegetable or carved pillar of stone.
Because He does all things well, He has an exact plan to accomplish His purpose. He is sovereign and knows what He is doing. To fulfill His purpose, He will fill certain human beings with His Spirit, which is unselfish divine love.

They will be led by His Spirit to seek Him. First, He will place a desire in them to know the truth about our existence on this planet. They will seek for the meaning of life and will give up their old selfish life in ex-change for a ticket to join this spiritual quest. Little by little, their spiritual Father will answer their questions of Who? What? How? When? Where? Why? He will eventually lead them into all truth and help them solve all the mysteries of God.

The Initiation

Their initiation into this new spiritual family will begin at the cross where they will willingly yield up their old sinful selfish life. And from there He may use direct revelation to unveil His plan. But most often He will reach them through His teachers of truth. For they, like the apostles and prophets, are offices of God. They are God’s gifts to His body of believers “for the perfecting of the saints, for the work of the ministry, for the edifying of the body of Christ” (Eph. 4:12). They not only teach true concepts, but also help those coming up to purge out false concepts about the Father and Son.
This relationship concerning the Father and the Son is the key ingredient of knowledge that we need to fulfill God’s purpose in the earth. He will fulfill His purpose of reproducing Himself when He fills you and me with His Spirit of agape Love. The Father calls this the “manifestation of the sons of God.” He will unveil these manifested sons at the end of this age. This is God’s grand gala when He reveals His handiwork. He will use His sons to help rule in His Kingdom, to be fully established here on earth upon His return.
Unlike what many Pentecostal and charismatic voices teach, this filling us up with His Spirit usually comes slowly and deliberately. First, His presence will only come into a clean temple. He will arrive after a proper foundation of sound teachings is laid. These teachings are called “the apostles’ doctrine.” They are the teachings that the early rain apostles had in their hearts. They were Christ’s teachings; His teachings were His doctrine. And His became theirs. [Send for my book The Apostles’ Doctrine. It is free with free shipping.

The Spirit Growing

Once we are fed the “milk of the word, which is Christ’s teachings, we begin to grow into inquisitive, spiritually healthy children, growing day by day. “Growing” signifies that the Spirit is growing in us. If we continue through much study and prayer, we will grow up to become strong men and women of God, just like the apostles and prophets.
So, how does the Spirit grow within our hearts? Christ the Master Teach-er has given us several commandments. The first one is the first word He spoke to the crowds. “Repent.” To repent from sin, all must go to the cross and let our old self die with Him. And then we are raised up with Him by believing in His resurrection, now within us. Our belief in His resurrection brings our own resurrection in Him. [All of this is explained in The Apostles’ Doctrine.]
After we get this solid in our hearts, Christ gives us several more “new commandments” to obey. Many of these are found in the four gospels. These will trigger the growth of the Spirit in our hearts. Obeying these “new commandments” is like when you feed your garden rich compost. It jump starts the growth of the Spirit within us. And this Spirit is the Father, and is Love, and is the fulfillment of His purpose of us becoming like the early apostles and prophets and Christ Himself. He said that we would do “greater works” than the miracles that He had performed.
Finally, obeying Christ’s commandments insures His growth in us through His abiding presence in us. “For without [Him] we can do nothing.” Obeying His “new commandments” enables us to obey the 11th Commandment: Love others the way Christ loved all of us. Kenneth Wayne Hancock

The Kingdom of the Spirit

Only through the Narrow Gate do we enter the heavenly spiritual dimension. That gate is Christ Himself. Christ said, “I am the door of the sheep…” (John 10:7, 9, 2). We enter through the narrow gate/door into the Kingdom of God (Luke 13:24, 29).

But the phrase “kingdom of God” has lost its meaning through overuse. Every denomination spins it differently. Consequently, what does the Supreme Being’s written word say?

The word “of” has several meanings. The phrase “kingdom of God” can mean “God’s kingdom.” It can also mean “a kingdom comprised of Spirit.” For example, the phrase, “a wall of stone,” says nothing of possession. It means “a wall made of stone.” Therefore, the phrase “kingdom of God” could very well mean a “royal government comprised of Spirit,” as in “God is a Spirit” (John 4:24).

He is an invisible Spirit, and He wants us to worship Him in Spirit and in truth. He wants us to join Him in His spiritual realm called the Kingdom of the Spirit. We cannot worship Him with material accoutrements. We must leave the old world of our five senses and strive to enter His Heavenly Spiritual Dimension. It is prayer that reaches into his heavenly dimension.

The Kingdom of God, then, is the Kingdom of the Spirit. The word “Kingdom” here may be understood as the invisible dimension where both miracles and spiritual battles take place. His Kingdom is a spiritual, invisible world or dimension. We are transported to it by faith. We are carried there by believing that this dimension not only exists, but also has a door or gate. And that door is Christ our Savior. Believing in His death, burial, and resurrection—in our own hearts!—begins the purifying process where we get rid of the old leaven false concepts of God.

Since “God is a Spirit, and is invisible, then the Kingdom of God equals the Kingdom of the Spirit. The Holy Spirit is the heavenly dimension. It is comprised of God, who is invisible and yet, very near to us.

Knowing this, we should “seek Yahweh while He may be found.” All of us should reach out and find the narrow gate and “come before His presence with thanksgiving.” He abides in that heavenly dimension. He patiently waits for us to believe the report of His apostles and prophets.

John heard the Father in human form. He saw Him with his own eyes and looked upon Him. He touched Him with His own hands (I John 1:1). We will find Him where He is. The King resides in His Kingdom. His future sons and daughters will hear Him, see Him, and embrace Him when they walk with Him in the Heavenly Spiritual Dimension.

At present His followers are being tested by their Father. They should “not think it strange” to have “fiery trials of their faith.” It is all part of His plan. For it is only a purified faith that will enter through the narrow gate. “That they should seek the Lord, if haply they might feel after Him, and find Him, though He be not far from every one of us” (Acts 17:27).     Kenneth Wayne Hancock

 [Thank you for all the likes and comments. May our great King Yahshua continue to use you to sow the seeds of the gospel culminating in the harvest of His sons and daughters. We will rule with him in His Kingdom. That is the good news, the gospel. “He came into Galilee, preaching the gospel of the Kingdom of God” (Mark 1:14). Christ then begins to miraculously heal the multitudes. He was “preaching the gospel of the Kingdom, and healing all manner of sickness and all manner of disease among the people” (Matt. 4:23). Only in another dimension can these miracles happen.]

Partaking of the Divine Nature by Adding to Our Faith

We are called and chosen by God to be “partakers of the divine nature.” He has given us these “exceeding great and precious promises.”

He has promised us that we can become just like Christ and His apostles. What we are going through at present is not “worthy to be compared with the glory which shall be revealed in us” (Romans 8:18). God foreknew us and predestinated us “to be conformed to the image of His Son, that He might be the first born among many brethren.” He then called us and justified us, and he will glorify us (8:29-30).

Those of us with this vision in mind receive this destiny through believing His promise. This is being “partakers of the divine nature” (II Peter 1:4). For this all to happen, God requires that we “give all diligence” (1:10). It is not a cakewalk; it takes a striving and a fighting “the good fight of faith” (I Tim. 6:12).

To secure the promises, we must diligently add to our faith seven major facets of Christ’s divine nature: virtue, knowledge, temperance, patience/endurance, godliness, brotherly love, and agape love (II Peter 1:5-8).

The Spirit through the apostle Peter says that by adding these seven attributes we can make our “calling and the election sure: for if you do these things, you shall never fall.” There is no other way in scripture that lines it out like Peter does here. He knows; he was there with Christ for most of the miracles. In fact, he worked miracles himself several times.

We will add these things to our faith, if we study them out. Those that study will make “their calling and election sure.” They will grow spiritually and mature like Peter did. They will “bear fruit” like he did. And those who study all this out, and take it to heart, “an entrance shall be ministered unto you abundantly into the everlasting Kingdom of our Lord and savior Jesus Christ/Yahshua.” (II Peter 1:11).

This “entrance” is the “narrow gate” and the “open door.” If we study and add the seven additions to the faith, he has promised to grant us an entrance/door/gate that opens into the Heavenly Spiritual Dimension.

[It has been my great honor to have been used by our King to write a textbook that specifically teaches the seven additions to the faith. The title of the book is The Additions to the Faith. It is a 290-page trade paperback, and it does not cost you one dime. It is free with free shipping. Several have wondered how I do this without charging. God has granted me the finances to publish these books. I started a truly non-profit publishing company twenty-five years ago. Some put a $20 bill in the offering tray. My offering is to send a book to my fellow Christians. We must remember that Christ took money off the table. We, therefore, should not sell His holy words. “Buy the truth; sell it not.” Order a copy today by sending me an email. Send your name, mailing address, and title of book to: wayneman5@hotmail.com ]      Kenneth Wayne Hancock

Strive to Enter the Heavenly Spiritual Dimension

The Spirit is asking us: “Are you knocking on the door that enters the Heavenly Spiritual Dimension? This dimension is the Kingdom of the Spirit, the Kingdom outside of the limitations of the 3-D World that we are initially born into. Its invisible power engulfs the old five senses, material world, the world of delusion. The invisible Yahweh inhabits this new-to-us spiritual world.”

The Spirit is saying to us: The only way into this heavenly spiritual dimension is to enter it by the narrow gate. “For wide is the gate that leads to destruction.” He is asking us, “Are you striving to enter through the narrow gate? It will lead you to that rare dimension known as the Kingdom of God. Are you earnestly seeking and knocking and asking?”

Christ commands us, “Enter in at the narrow gate, for wide is the gate… and difficult is the way which leads to life, and few find it…” Few. That is sobering (Matt. 7:13-14).

Why is the gate narrow? The gate is narrow to prevent us from trying to carry the old baggage of false doctrines into the Holy Place. [Several of these false teachings are found here: false doctrines | Immortality Road (wordpress.com)]

He tells us, “Come out of her, my people, lest you share in her sins, and lest you receive of her plagues” (Rev. 18:4 NKJV). He is telling all Christians to leave behind the “difficult way” of the 3-D world and enter the Heavenly Spiritual Dimension. We need to ask, seek, and knock on that door, which is the narrow gate by which we enter into his Kingdom.

For we will discover that the invisible Yahweh is a Spirit that subsumes everything else in the created realm. Standing on the earth, Christ said, “Even the Son of man which is in heaven” (John 3:13).

The heavenly spiritual dimension is the Kingdom of God. It is the Kingdom of Spirit. To prove it, Christ said, “Not everyone that says unto me, Lord, Lord, shall enter the Kingdom of Heaven, but he that does the will of my Father which is in heaven.” Or “…which is in the Heavenly Spiritual Dimension” (Matt. 7:21).

Therefore, Christ tells us to “strive to enter in at the narrow gate.” Strive means contend, fight, and struggle with your adversary to enter in at the narrow gate. Those who do not, He will reject, and “there shall be weeping and gnashing of teeth” when He receives all the righteous into the “Kingdom of God and yourselves thrust out…” (Luke 13: 24-29).

We must fight the inclination to coast through our new Christian life like a young child who is impervious and carefree and knows nothing of the battle we are chosen to fight. We are to “walk in the Spirit, the Kingdom, the heavenly spiritual dimension.” We can’t see it with the naked eye, but we must “fight the good fight of faith” and enter it and experience the same thing that His people have always experienced.

“What is that?” you ask. Let your Holy Bible fall open, and begin reading, and you will be taken to this old—yet new—spiritual dimension of which we speak. The Garden of Eden is a good example. The Holy Bible is full of those who fought and strove to enter into the Kingdom.    Kenneth Wayne Hancock

Are You Suffering from a Betrayal by Someone You Love?

Betrayal causes severe anguish and pain. What is our reaction to this? We cry out to God. These five words are the answer to some of life’s great questions: Why do we have to physically or mentally suffer? Why do our old earthly bodies break down? Why must we “walk through the valley of the shadow of death”?

God allows “bad things” for us to suffer, so that we will turn to him. Though it is difficult for us to comprehend, it is Yahweh’s great love for us that He subjects us to excruciating misery at times in our earthly lives.

These “bad” times are designed for us to overcome. When we overcome the trials, our spiritual muscles are strengthened. This is how we grow in His infinite grace.

This is one of the great mysteries that the Spirit is now revealing to us. Why do we suffer from things that are not seemingly even our fault? Because it is part of God’s plan. His plan fulfills His purpose. He is reproducing Himself in the form of agape love in our vessels.

Those that overcome all things will sit with him on His throne, even as Christ has overcome all things.

But how do we overcome? First, we must get over the shock that Yahweh uses “evil” to produce righteous spiritual growth in us. This growth comes from understanding and knowing the hidden mysteries concealed in His plan as stated above. And we can only understand through experiencing the suffering that spiritual growth requires. This engenders forgiveness; agape love grows as we forgive each other. That includes forgiving God for putting us through the pain and anguish.

Part of this knowledge concerns the Hebrew God’s implementation of trials on us His creation. This is when many of the called fall away. They will say, “This cannot be true. How can God, who is love, allow bad things to happen?”

The apostle Paul knew the answer. The Spirit through him wrote this down: “For the Scripture says to the Pharaoh, For this very purpose I have raised you up, that I may show My power in you, and that My name may be declared in all the earth.” Yahweh had mercy on the Israelites, but He hardened Pharoah’s heart, all to fulfill His plan and purpose. The unenlightened will protest and begin to blame God. To which the Spirit replies, “But who are you, a human being, to talk back to God? Shall what is formed say to the one who formed it, ‘Why did you make me like this?’” (Romans 9:19-20 NIV).

Crying out to God would not happen without pain. All I ever wanted as a child was a loving peaceful home. My parents were always fighting. They finally divorced when I was eleven. My world was beginning to shatter. Nine years later I worked as a lab tech in a MASH hospital fifteen miles south of the DMZ near Quang Tri. The blood and death every day completed the shattering. But the divorce and the war God used to instill in me an unquenchable desire to know the truth. Not just the truth about the war, but the truth about why we are here on this planet? And if there is a God, then, Who is He?

Yahweh used these two heartbreaks—the divorce and the war—to send me on a quest for knowledge even till today some fifty-five years later. I have forgiven my parents and Uncle Sam. And now through God’s mercy, I have slaked the bitterness I once endured. I died with Christ and now have a new heart that praises Him for His love and forgiveness.    Kenneth Wayne Hancock

How to Wait on God’s Timing Without Anxiety

We expect what we believe shall be. To expect is waiting for what we believe He has promised will come. But waiting is difficult for human beings.

But what shall be is what Christ, the Seed, the Word, said will be. We believe that He will grow in us unto perfect maturity. We, consequently, expect to grow. We expect to happen in our lives, what Christ said will happen: That after many trials, we shall overcome all things. For it is these very trials of our faith that trigger our spiritual growth. They make us stronger, even though we disdain them. But then, His ways are not our ways.

For example, when I go to my desk, I expect that God will give me the word of wisdom and the word of knowledge. I have no doubts that He will meet me there and deliver inspiration and understanding of His word. It has been twenty-seven years now, and the meal barrel has not run dry.

Yet, a question arises. Can we not have the same expectations when it comes to healing? Healing someone is a gift of the Spirit to us and then through us to another. But when will the Spirit give that gift through us, that He would heal through us? We all are waiting for more of His power to be manifested in and through us.

The Ultimate Wielding of His Power

Of course, we are talking about wielding game-changing power in the earth. Miracles are not just about knowledge. They are about doing. Miraculous actions will go viral in the 21st Century’s social media. We must be strong enough spiritually to survive the onslaught.

We are talking about the “high calling of God in Christ.” We are referring to the ultimate wielding of power and strength from the Spirit of God. We’re talking about bearing 100-fold fruit of the Spirit. This is when the Spirit is fully matured in us. Knowing, Doing, and Being. You must have knowledge before you can do. And it is by doing that we become our destiny.

Some of us now are turning our heads and hearts toward this calling. You and I are “waiting for the adoption… the redemption of our body.” While we wait on Him, we walk in this new knowledge by first studying and proving it from the scriptures.      

Evidently, we are not quite ready for 100-fold prime time just yet. But this we should know that “there is a season and a time to every purpose under heaven.” That especially includes the season and time for His purpose (Ecclesiastes 3:1).

We are at present the “called according to His purpose.” And we now know that His purpose is to reproduce Himself. He is Agape love, and He plants His love as a Seed in those He has called (Romans 8:23, 28). There is a season and a time for this planting and reaping. And the harvest is “the manifestation of the sons [and daughters] of God” (Romans 8:19).

Someone hearing this perhaps, is saying in their heart, “You said that we can be like Peter, James, John, and Paul, and even Jesus. That is impossible to do.”

To which I say, “You’re wrong. I’m not saying this; the word of God is saying this. The scriptures say that Yahweh knew us before we were born. He foreknew us and predestinated us “to be conformed to the image of his Son that he might be the first born among many brethren” (Romans 8:29). That is where we are heading. But there is a season and time which only the Father knows, when we will join the ranks of the manifested sons and daughters of God.

Moses Waiting on His Calling

We must “judge nothing before the time.” God revealed to Moses that the Hebrew slaves should follow him. But it was not the season nor the time for God to lead His people out of Egypt. Moses waited 40 years in exile in the Sinai desert before the call came from the burning bush. It just was not the time until then.   

Yet, Yahweh foreknew Moses and you and me. And He has given us a glorious destiny before our earthly slog began. And then, he called us. He gave us a sign that He is real. He met us where we were in the mire of sin and lifted us out of degradation into his marvelous light. Thus, we were called and justified. “And whom He justified, them He also glorified.”

Glorified! That is how Yahweh sees it. He sees us already “conformed to the image of his Son.” He sees us as joint heirs with Him. To Him it’s a done deal. Yet, for us, we wait for the season and the time. (verse 30).

Yahweh declares the end from the beginning. In the beginning we were with Him in His heart. Before we were deposited from the womb of our dear earthly mothers, He believed that we would respond. That’s His faith at work.

Consequently, God is for us! Who can withstand God and be against us? But there’s one thing we must realize before we receive our immortal spiritual bodies upon His return. We must understand that there is a certain season and time for everything—especially during the “time of the end.” That includes the time when He will work miracles of healing through us.        Kenneth Wayne Hancock

Are You Longing to Know Christ’s Secret to a Joyful Walk?

If we listen to His “still small voice,” we may hear Him share a secret that few ever hear. It is a challenge to our present belief system. Our joy issues from His joy, which rejoices at the truth.

Right now, as we speak through these earthly bodies, we have another body. Yes, another body. It is a body that is celestial in nature. It is, in the pure sense of the word, extraterrestrial, for it is outside the scope of the earth. In fact, mortal eyes have not seen it, nor has its reality even entered into the hearts of mortals. What has not entered into our thinking? “The things that God has prepared for them that love Him (I Cor. 2: 9).

And what are those “things” that God has already provided for us? They are our heavenly bodies. And as we gaze into the mirror at our earthly bodies and lament their descent into mortality’s final sad scene, we cannot help but groan under the burden of our bodies’ betrayal of us. And we yearn for our other body to come and clothed us with immortality.

This present mortal state in which we live is the perfect environment, however, to nurture the Spirit within us. As we overcome in battle the devil’s onslaught, the Spirit within us grows with every victory. As we vanquish our enemy, who is designed by our Creator to dispense just the right amount of resistance each day, we grow according to the loving hand of our Master. Knowing about our heavenly immortal body is our ace in the hole and gives us great confidence that He has our backs. It is His ball game; He will win. He has already won in heaven, and now we are a part of the witness here on earth.

Our Victory Is Believing the Unseen

Our victories begin in believing that we have His Spirit within us, that He is guiding us, and that He loves us and wants us to grow to be like Him. He is our treasure that we now have in these weak, fragile earthly bodies. Our bodies seem to be hurdling back into earth. It seems that they want to return to the soil. Our bodies are not us, for they careen in an opposite direction than what our hearts would dictate. Our earthly bodies want to dissipate, but we want to live vibrantly in love and harmony.

Our “outward man” may be perishing, but our “inward man” is being renewed each day. Compared to the glorious future that He desires to shower upon us, our current afflictions pale in importance. Our afflictions are “the sufferings of this present time,” the sufferings we must endure that we may reign with Him (II Tim. 2: 12; II Cor. 4: 16-17).

We must not look at our mortal bodies thinking that this is all there is. There is no hope in seeing our flesh wrinkle and get old, our muscles failing of the strength of youth. Looking at our earthly bodies and pondering their demise is not faith. For faith is being assured of “things not seen,” not things which we do see.

We should not see those “things” in the mirror that stare back at us. We should rather look at “the things which are not seen: for the things which are seen are temporary; but the things which are not seen are eternal” (4: 18). When we walk in the Spirit, we behold as in a mirror the glory of Yahweh, and we are changed thereby “into that same image from glory to glory, even as by the Spirit…” (II Cor. 3: 18). We will not experience this by looking at our earthly body, but by looking at those things that are not seen.

So, what are these things? These things are bodies, for it is bodies that the Spirit through Paul has been talking about all throughout the whole letter.

“For we know that if the tent that is our earthly home is destroyed, we have a building from God, a house not made with hands, eternal in the heavens.” Most have interpreted that to mean that we are going to heaven. It actually says, however, that we have another house in heaven waiting for us. We have another body, a celestial one, a glorified one prepared for us by our Creator (II Cor. 5: 1-4).

Our earthly bodies that we see are temporary dwelling places for the Spirit of God to grow in. They are important and indispensable, but disposable. He made them that way, of course. And as the painful treachery of our bodies increases, “we groan, earnestly desiring to be clothed upon with our house which is from heaven.” Our burden is not to be “unclothed,” as in a lightening of our load, but rather “clothed upon, that mortality might be swallowed up of life.”

Thus, the Spirit speaks of our heavenly body as clothing. As we ponder the word “clothing,” we see where He has promised the over comers clothing called “white raiment.” We see a picture of this in the transfiguration of the Son of God when “his face did shine as the sun, and His raiment was white as the light.” We see a picture of us after being clothed with our heavenly body. We look to that time when we “are changed into the same image from glory to glory.”

Faith is being assured that we have this heavenly body prepared for us, even though we cannot see the evidence of it right now with mortal eyes. This is the secret that His still, small voice is conveying to us (Rev. 3:4-5; Mt. 17: 2; II Cor. 3:18; Heb. 11: l).

We Are Sent by God to Do What?

[Please don’t rush through this. “Because it is given unto you to know the mysteries of the kingdom of heaven, but to them it is not given.” Slow down and savor the secrets of the Word. Matthew 13:11, 35]

To answer the question in the title: We are sent to teach the nations the truth of Christ. The Great Commission gives a sweeping panorama of what our sending is about. We are to “go and teach all nations…teaching them to observe all things whatsoever I have commanded you” (Matthew 28:19-20).

What are these “all things” that we are to teach the world? Christ said to His disciples [that’s us, too], “All things must be fulfilled, which were written in the law of Moses, and in the prophets, and in the psalms, concerning me” (Luke 24:44).

In other words, the prophets’ writings, the psalms, and Moses’ writings—all were written about Christ. This does not fully compute when we are first taught this truth. The vast quarry of knowledge found in these sacred writings can be overwhelming. But since the Supreme Being has called you into His service, He will in due time clarify your vision of what will be fulfilled in you. We receive the revelation that the Son of God walks in unity with the great Spirit Father Yahweh [“I and my Father are One”].

And now, we are bidden to abide within His glorified spirit body. Later we will realize that all things are about Him, His purpose, and His plan to fulfill His purpose, which is God reproducing Himself in us. We will realize that “God [Yahweh] was in Christ reconciling the world unto Himself.”

Christ saw that His disciples were dazed, having seen and heard the risen Christ. We, too, are dazzled when we see the One who conquered death. And, so, to help them, Christ “opened… their understanding, that they might understand the scriptures…and that repentance and remission of sins should be preached in his name among all nations…”

He speaks of the big harvest of souls, of which we have spoken before. This is His desire, and this is His will. We must pray that He would open unto us the new wine of the scriptures of truth and learn of Him on a deeper level. We must repent of the old leaven doctrines that we have blindly accepted since our youth. For we must repent before we preach repentance (Luke 24:45-49).

“All Things”

Everything is about Him and for Him. All emotions, all feelings, all dreams, all endeavors that we have lived, all our vain actions and desires—all things are wrapped up in Him. “For from Him and through Him and for Him are all things. To him be the glory forever! Amen” (Rom. 11:36).

He has rescued us from the darkness we once wallowed in and has now transferred us into His kingdom. He has redeemed us with His blood and has forgiven our sins. He who forgave us “is the image of the invisible God, the firstborn over all creation.” The Son created all things. And all things are for Him. “He is before all things, and in Him all things hold together” (Col. 1:13-18). That old song is true: “He’s got the whole world in His hands.”

And it is through His gracious love and mercy that He has included us in His plan of bringing us, His spiritual offspring, to full spiritual maturity—to be just like the Original, who is called Christ, the Anointed One. He has all power invested in His word. Should we not think that He would grant us a portion of His power to fulfill our calling and election in Him? He said, “Ask and it shall be given.” But we must ask with a pure heart, one that is not choked with the smoke of burning falsehoods. “Blessed are the pure of heart, for they shall see God.” Christ will open “their understanding, that they might understand the scriptures.”

We are called to be His teachers. But first, we must “purge out the old leaven,” the false doctrines that the enemy has sown into the churches. Rather, we must learn of Him all things that pertain unto His purpose and plan.   Kenneth Wayne Hancock

Corrupt Church Tree Cannot Bring Forth Good Fruit

For the seeker of God, this whole spiritual walk here on earth is an everyday challenge to clear our minds of the clutter of material things that comprise our earthly existence. We need to focus on the invisible things. “While we do not look at the things which are seen, but at the things which are not seen. For the things which are seen are temporary, but the things which are not seen are eternal” (II Cor. 4:18 NKJV)

God has created our world to facilitate this. He created the adversary, the devil, as an intruding thought usurper. He raids our minds each morning with thoughts that are primarily based on visible things. The devil knows full well that once a child of God strays into the visible, material world, that child is vulnerable.

This should then be one of our main motives in prayer–to cleave to the invisible God. We need to abandon the temporary things of this world, along with this world’s god. The Spirit through the apostle Paul speaks to this. “Set your mind on things above, not on things on the earth” (Col. 3:2).

Our task, then, as the children of God is to be aware of what is going on in the arena of our mind. And then to throw away every thought that does not agree with the vision of God depicted in the scriptures of truth. This prompts more questions. Which thoughts are true, and which are false about God and His plan and purpose?

Christ and His apostles warned us incessantly about false prophets who would “bring in damnable heresies.” And these heresies speak about Christ. They are wolves in sheep’s clothing.”  And many in the churches shall follow them through the “wide gate” of Christianity. Many are heading to a desperate culmination of their religious dogmas because of the false teachings.

Which false doctrines?

 So, which teachings are corrupt? Which doctrines are false? What is wrong with their teachings? In a word, almost everything.

We know that false doctrines are there in the churches, yet the purveyors of these doctrines are adamant that they are right, and most everyone else is wrong. The false teachings are there because Christ and His apostles said that they are there. The list of false doctrines in the churches is long. We can start with these: no trinity, oneness, prosperity doctrine, no rapture, pagan holidays, sacred Hebrew names, to name a few. The elect will study these false doctrines out and repent of them.

False doctrines corrupt the churches. Christ said, “a corrupt tree cannot bring forth good fruit” (Matthew 7:18). Organized denominations feed the poor and help those in need in our societies. They will have their reward. But their doctrines will never bring forth the fruit of the “manifestation of the sons of God [and daughters of God].”

False doctrines are like leaven. “A little leaven leavens the whole lump.” Leaven is false doctrines that have now permeated the whole of Christianity (Matthew 13:33).  Kenneth Wayne Hancock [For more about the old leaven and false teachings, hit this link: purge out the old leaven | Search Results | Immortality Road (wordpress.com) If this article has helped you, hit that like button and subscribe.

Christ Has Sent You and Me–Already

You have been sent by Christ to do the Father’s will (desire)…

Before we get into “being sent,” we should consider this: The deeper we go into the truth, the more we need to repeat its concepts. We need to rehearse it until our restless minds are corralled and come into obedience of the very concepts we are endeavoring to learn.

Such is the case with Christ’s words recorded by the apostle John: “My food is to do the will of Him that sent me and to finish His work” (4:34). Doing the Father’s will and finishing His work is the spiritual food that gives the Son spiritual strength. We will receive the same spiritual sustenance that fueled His walk when we know and do the Father’s will and finish His work.

The next major word in our study of this saying is “sent.” Christ said twenty-six times in the gospel of John that the Father had sent Him. It is obviously very important to him that we understand the concept. Twenty-six times! For example, He said, “He that believes on me, believes not on me, but on Him that sent me. And he that sees me sees him that sent me” (12:44-45).

The Father Yahweh has sent the Son, who is the earthly witness of the invisible Father. In our embryonic thinking, we only see Christ the Son, the Savior, being the one sent, and that is true. But modern Christian theology teaches that it is a one-off and was only good for Christ and a few of the early apostles.

But, according to His words, we have been sent, too. Christ is expanding the base by including us as those that are sent. He said, “He that receives whomsoever I send receives me, and he that receives me receives Him [the Father] that sent me” (John 13: 20).

Christ puts an exclamation point on this: “As my Father has sent Me, even so send I you” (John 20:21). In the same manner that the Father has sent Christ, even so, Christ has sent us. What manner did the Father send Christ? He sent him with power.

In John 17, Christ is praying for His disciples. “Neither pray I for these alone, but for them also which shall believe on me through their word; that they all may be one… in us…” (17: 20-21). You and I have believed in Christ through the words of the early apostles. In the mind of Christ, we are one with His early apostles and with Christ and with the Father! We are sent in the same way.

Christ is still saying, I am sending you just like the Father sent Me. He sent Him armed with the truth. He sent Him with miracle working power. He sent Him to bear witness to the truth. He sent him to give testimony through the miraculous works—works that can only be done by the Father. He sent Him to give testimony that mankind may believe God. And He sent Christ to those prepared to receive him. KWH
