The Highest Life Form Part 2

When He looked at Nicodemus and said You must be born again, He didn’t say You must be born again; He looked and pointed to other realms. In his exact words, He said this. You must be born from out there. From above. You belong to that race that has its origins out there.

There is a species: plant. A species: fish. A species: angels. God was another species, His own, living here on this planet: the sons of God, and that’s why Christ came and saved us. We’ve been rejoicing in that salvation, good, but we’ve also been starting organizations for the preservation of clay pots, broken wine goblets, ever since our salvation. We forgot our goal is the stars. The age that you and I live in does not know that we, this new species, have Divine Life in us. It has never occurred to us that we can live by the same Life Jesus Christ got up in the morning and lived by.

It’s high time that you, like the early believers, started re-learning how to live by a Life not your own.  It’s time the divine race started living by Divine Life. It’s time that the words – the chosen of God, and the joint heirs of God, and the presence of Christ, the sons of God – take on its true meaning, that we have that divine portion in us and to become practiced in finding that life embedded somewhere within us, and begin making contact with that life, and begin the rudimentary experience of living by Life.

I must say to you that introducing the new species to this earth was not all that your Lord came for. He also came here, to this earth, to set up a nation. I gave an illustration of what would happen if a new species came to this earth. It would find a suitable habitat and begin to live there, pretty much ignoring what was going on in the ocean.

Well, Jesus Christ came to set up a nation where His new species could live together. Birds live in flocks, sheep live in herds, fish live in schools, and ants live in anthills. Man lives in a colossal mess called nations, interlocked together, called civilization. God’s new species would also have its flock, its herd, its hill, its nation, its civilization, but not really, because it would be a different species with something different. It would be…He called it a kingdom. I am tempted to say he came to bring a higher civilization, no, like Martians coming, invading from outer space. I would say this: His life form did not come for civilization. That’s a lower life idea. He came, and when He came, He came to Israel. He spoke of a kingdom. Somebody would set up a kingdom, a human kingdom, a lower life-form kingdom there, that would be like and supplant the kingdoms of the pagan nations. Maybe take over Rome. Some thought this was what he would do. Maybe they thought he would go to Switzerland, start a small group hidden away in the Alps, and engage in guerrilla warfare. He didn’t do that.

Where did he plan to locate his flock, his school of fish, his foal, his nation, his anthill? That’s a very interesting question. Would he put it on this earth, build a wall around it with streets like other men? No, again, that was a human thought, a lower life form thought. No, He would not, as an invader from other realms, bring forth something that was patterned after something on this earth.

No, as being One who had come in as an invader from other realms, He would introduce something upon this earth that was patterned after other realms. It would look like, it would be like, something in another realm. It would not have any similarities to any nation, flock, anthill, foal, school, gang, nation of any other life form upon this earth, that there would be a place, a habitat, where His new species could live together in one place and more or less ignore the fish and the cattle and the angels. Perhaps this nation would take a very special place, a very special piece of ground, and it would need a capital city. No. Not at all. That’s little life form stuff. That’s what number three does.

He would have His new species and a new kingdom He would have on this earth. but it did not have to be located in any one place. His kingdom could locate anywhere. His race could spread across the nations, beyond the earth, beyond any specific place on the earth. It would not need any kind of citizenship that overlapped with the other nations. It was a nation without boundaries, just like the kingdom in the heavenly realms, and that other sphere is also without boundaries. It could be anywhere it pleased to be; that would be their habitat. For that is their way. This was the Lord’s plan.

And furthermore, He has an even greater plan for this nation of His. He plans for this new species not only to live on this earth as a nation, but also to conquer the whole world, annex the whole planet, and bring it into the heavenly realms. He came here for the purpose of conquest. He came here to join the heavenly kingdom with the earthly realm and make them one. And therefore, He would then become king not over two realms but one. He plans to be King and Lord of earth just as he is already King and Lord of heavenly places.

Do not doubt his subversive intentions. He is a revolutionary. No, He is the revolutionary. He was in the first century; He is now, and He will be until the day He conquers. He has a revolutionary plan that far exceeds anything ever fashioned by men or angels.

He introduced His nation, His flock, His habitat upon this earth, where His species would gather together and live by His Life. A new species that is called by a name; that name is the New Man. Not the old man patched up, but literally a new creation introduced to this earth about the year 33 or 34 A.D., and He set up a nation, and you know what He did? He made Himself head of that nation.

This is the most glorious nation on earth, for Jesus Christ is the king of that citizenry. The citizens of that country are all a new species, and it is now 2000 years old. Where they live, they come together to live by Divine Life. They have a way of living unknown to ants, unknown to bees, unlike anything the salmon know, anything that beavers or even old third-class men can ever comprehend.
