The Ephesians Story (Part 4)

You have a spirit that is in Christ. It’s in you and in Christ. Get over alone somewhere, nobody looking, otherwise, you might get locked up, and go into the spiritual realm and make your course across the past chronicles of eternal history and stand there beside or even better in your Lord and forget space and forget time and stand there in Him and say, “Father, thank you that at this moment You are choosing me in Christ here before the foundation of the world. Lean back in your chair and forget space and forget time and go into your spirit and go to the eternals and the conclusions of the temporary and stand with your Lord – no, in your Lord – and stand at the end of the ages and say, “Here I am Lord. It’s all dissolving, but I am in You, and here there is no dissolution; here I am in You as the entire creation collapses and disappears. Thank you, Father, that I have been in Your Son to all the ages past and in all the ages to come.”

You have the right, right now. Right now, with your spirit, not your body, but your spirit can walk the corridors of time and eternity. It has that right. It has that promise. It has that guarantee. Sister, go do that. Brother, go do that. And when you have finished doing that, come back to us and try to find something to worry about. That’s verse what? Three. The Father has given you all there is of the riches of the heavenlies and the blessings of the heavenlies in Christ. They are yours to plunder.

Let’s look at this next incredible verse, and a lot of what I’ve said is an introduction to it. Verse four: Just as you have received all spiritual blessings in the heavenlies that are in Christ, you also, in the same manner, line 4, are chosen. He chose you. We are chosen. And by the way, it’s a plural us. This is still the church. He also chose you in Christ before the foundation of the world. Now, if we can just get these “Us es”, let’s get “US”.

Come with me. I want you to see before creation that there are no angels, there’s no sin, there’s no death, there are no atoms, there’s no mass. Therefore, there is no space and there is no time. Now, I don’t know if you know this, brother, but Einstein tells us that if you remove mass, you also remove space. Time and dimension. You remove place and you remove time. It ceases to exist. Everything goes back to the eternals. Therefore, if there is no mass, and mass I mean by that the physical creation, atoms, molecules, and so forth, you remove the atoms and the molecules, then time ceases and place ceases, and there’s not a big abyss of nothing because nothing is a place that can have time. Even nothingness disappears. Drives a scientist crazy, until you understand that in that day, or in that time, that was not time; God was All, and that doesn’t mean there was God and then outside of Him was some empty space. It means that no matter where, it was God.

Now I want you to go into Him. Will you come go with me in Him? I don’t know what’s there. I know life is there. I know purity is there. I know holiness is there. I know that light indescribable is there. I also know just as well that fellowship is there. We’re talking about going into God until we come to the very center of God. Now we have entered the center of God, and there you find His Son. For the Son is in the Father and He is the center of Godness. At the center of the godhead is Christ, the eternal Christ… (continued in Part 5)
