Living in the Invisibles Part 4: Sons of God, Faith & Being Clothed in Christ

And I am therefore holy. I want to come back to this. If you have problems in the present, go to the past. I want y’all to go visit Abraham…will you sometime? And tell me about it.

Go to the resurrection. Go to the tomb when the sons and daughters of God were revealed. and tell creation: we’re here. I do believe that when you come back to Earth and leave the invisibles, it will change your human relations and speak to you of human covenants. Lord, speak to us of divine covenants. And Lord, we dare enter.

Audience: The reason for creation was created.

Amen. We are the purpose of creation for all of you…well, look here. We’ve got a “corporate”. Man, I tell you, you know, this may be the first time anybody ever read the corporateness of these letters. I mean it. All of you in Iconium and all of you in St. Cloud…and by the way, Iconium is just up the road here, folks. It’s just up the road. Calvary is just right outside the wall. And Iconium is just up the road. And we share the same geography at the same time. Do we really? No. But it doesn’t matter because we both share the same place in Christ and in the invisibles.

Okay? If you can say that to Iconium, we go back to the first century. It’s just down the road here, a little way. It’s a small walk. You know how you get to Iconium from here? Do you know how to get across? Do you know how to get what? That’s good. Turn left at the cross. Do you know how to get from here to Iconium? Who said that? Lance. Amen. You get to Iconium. It’s a short walk. You can go there really quickly. You get there by faith, brother, for we turn things invisible into things visible by faith. Hallelujah.

For all of you who are in Galatia and St. Cloud were plunged into Christ. And when you were plunged into Christ…now drop the water, saints. Drop the water. Let go of the water. You were immersed…submerged into Christ, and when you emerged, Christ had become your suit of clothing. Here we got corporate, and we got invisible. The saints in Iconium and the church just down the road from Iconium, St. Cloud, you as a body of believers, not an individual, and this comes back to Pentecost, a people, 120 of them were plunged into Christ, and they were plunged into the Holy Spirit. And here Paul is saying a church is plunged into Christ. And a church, a corporate body of people, you all, all of you, emerged with Christ clothing you. That’s something else you’re going to have to do as a body of believers. You’re going to have to go to where you were baptized into Christ.

Now, I’m going to let you figure out where that is, but I can tell you this. It’s just down the road. It’s not far from here. You need to go there and have this reenacted. Let the invisible become visible. You go to that place, and you see, you as a body of believers literally pushed into Jesus Christ, thrown into Jesus Christ. And when you emerged, all you could see was Christ. He became your clothing. Now, what do you figure God sees? When? When the Father looks at this body of believers, he sees Christ as your clothing. You are not clothed in sin. You are not even clothed in righteousness. You’re clothed in Christ. If you have to choose between being clothed in righteousness and being clothed in Christ, take the better suit of clothes, for the second follows the first.

If you are clothed in Christ, he who is righteousness, he is the righteousness of God. That’s a verse of scripture: Christ, the righteousness of God. Y’all got to go somewhere. It’s not…I don’t know where it is, but it’s not far from here. I don’t know where the covenant was given, but it’s not far from here. I don’t know where Abraham is, but he’s not far away. And you were foreseen. And you can go find the people who foresaw you. They live nearby. And you’ve got to go meet these people, and you’ve got to go to these places, and you’ve got to see Christ publicly crucified. See Him die and watch Him rise. And then you have to go to creation. It’s not a far distance from here either. See creation, and address creation, and say to the brothers and sisters in Jerusalem, the brothers and sisters in Iconium, and the brothers and sisters in St. Cloud: we have just emerged. And we want the Iconium saints and the Jerusalem saints to tell you something, and we all came here to talk to you.

Creation, stop crying. Your prayers have been heard. Creation prayed, and we just got here. Your liberation is very close. The sons and daughters of God have arrived; your liberation is not far away. Hang around a little longer, but you don’t need to cry any longer. You are going to be new, too. And when you are made new, there won’t be anything living on you but sons of God and daughters of God.

Saints in St. Cloud, dear holy ones, if you will live this way and do these things, I know it will affect you. It may affect angels. It might affect the Lord, and it may also affect some other brothers and sisters. I really challenge you to the boldness of “things unseen.” And now I want to remind you that mileage has shrunk radically. If the Iconium saints can see Christ publicly crucified, then there can’t be a very far distance from Iconium to Golgotha. And if that’s true in Iconium, it has got to be true in St. Cloud.

Now listen, this is so good. A few minutes ago, you were Abraham’s sons. And now in verse 27, you’re sons of God. Let’s look at these last two verses. And when you emerged from being plunged into Christ, although you never really emerged, you looked around, and the Jews had disappeared, and the Greeks had disappeared. The heathen had disappeared, and the slaves had disappeared, and even men who were slaves and had been made free had disappeared. And by the way, gender disappeared, and you, the individual, disappeared, and now there’s just that one person, and you got baptized into Christ. You got clothed into Christ. And now you’re one with Christ.

I think you’d better write those steps down because I’m afraid that if you don’t, you may never remember. Wouldn’t some teacher like to see this and teach this? You’re plunged into Christ. And while you’re there, you’re clothed in Christ. And when you emerge, though you do not emerge, you look around, and there are no Jews. They’re not any slaves. There are no heathens. They’re not any free men. There’s no gender, and what has emerged, and yet nothing has emerged because we’re still inside of Him. Each one of you individually has disappeared, and in fact, there’s nothing in there but Jesus Christ, because you have literally disappeared into Him.
