[Part Thirty-four]

“When worlds collide!”

               There are two worlds each man is created to inhabit. The first is a world of flesh indwelt by natural Adam and his seed; while the second and last is a world of spirit that the Christ-Adam and His Seed inhabits! The world of flesh is ruled by the carnal mind (“Which is sense and reason without the Holy Spirit- called death”); whereas the world of spirit is ruled by the Mind of Spirit “Which is Life and Peace”! Ro 8:6 AV) Just as every man is born into the first Adamic death state by no choice of their own; so is every man then “born again” into the second and last Adamic state of Life and Peace! Now ever since the mind of flesh united with man’s soul in an adulteress affair back in the garden, he has been spouting the lie that their carnal world of sin and sensual pleasure is the only true life; while the world of spirit and holiness is death to all soulish pleasure! This unholy hypothesis further contends that death ultimately triumphs over all- that the end of human existence is the end of all life forever! Today’s generation has been fed a steady diet of this sort of fatalism that has spawned its present “devil may care” society of grasping, violent fear. This world of flesh now stands on the precipice of mass revolt that usually prefaces a state of total anarchy! And in all times past when such a condition existed, it always gave rise to a state of totalitarianism! The Dict. root for “anarchy” means: “rulerless”; and is defined: “A state of lawlessness, the absence of all government; a state that some describe as a ‘utopian society’ that is made up of individuals who are said to enjoy complete freedom from all authority, but is in reality utter chaos and disorder!!” “Totalitarianism” is defined: “Civil order brought about by dictatorship; usually an autocratic, political regime initiated by a show of military force!!” [See: 1 Ti 1:3-11 NIV; all of 2 Thess 2 AV) Consider the utter futility if God had truly designed His creation according to the serpent’s masterpiece of lies that depict the Most High as a fool! Why would an ALL-WISE, ALL-SEEING, ALL-KNOWING and ALL-POWERFUL GOD devise a plan doomed to fail from its inception! Rather, He who possesses all Creative liberty, spoke His Word into the humus of humanity so as to appear- and be crucified as- a common criminal; then raised up His Word from that death state with His Resurrection Power; then sent that Resurrected, Sanctified, Glorified Word back to the earth in Spirit form to redeem all the world! And by this Savior of the world, to bring forth a truly utopian Paradise of Spirit that children of the Spirit will inherit! The Spirit World is not a fool’s pipedream, it is the only real world that exists! God says, “Things that are visible (to the human eye) are only temporal [Gk 4340 “Just for the occasion, enduring for a while, time or season”]; while invisible things are deathless, timeless, never-ending!” (2 Co 4:18)
               When these two worlds of TRUTH AND LIES, of LIFE AND DEATH, collide, it is truly a cataclysmic event in which only one can survive; the other is destroyed completely! Only one world can emerge in tact and reign triumphant! And only a fool would think God could allow His glorious World of Truth and Life to be destroyed by a world of lies and death! Such a preposterous travesty would render God to be homeless!! He surely couldn’t inhabit a world of lies and death; therefore, WHERE WOULD GOD LIVE? (Selah! Pause and calmly think of this!) It is for this reason that we hear the Son of God say to all men of flesh, “You are from beneath, I am from above; you are of this world, but I AM NOT OF THIS WORLD!” (Jn 8:23) Surely any rational man would desire to live in the real world of Spirit with God and His Christ; therefore any who do not have that desire are irrational beings! Pr 13:12 says, “When desire comes it is a TREE OF LIFE!” If God has put the desire to live with Him in His world be grateful to Him and shower Him with unending praise! Vast multitudes of deceived unbelievers on earth now would give anything to trade places with you, if they only knew this choice existed! Amazingly, many professing believers are not among the first called to enter Christ’s Ark of Sonship! And the sons that are so called must be thoroughly purged of all that pertains to this world! There shall be allowed no exceptions and no compromise! For as these two worlds collide- and they must- only the new horizon of God’s world of Love will remain!
                However strange this may seem to carnal understanding, there is only a select body of sons that will be first- after Christ- to set foot in this new Promised land! It is not enough to merely “want” this, beloveds, we must be thoroughly purged and prepared for this holy habitation! If we cannot accept the necessary chastisements Father sends to bring us to this place, we will not be permitted to enter His Ark at this time! It is as simple as that! The calling is HIS; the choice is HIS! So pray earnestly
that you are called and chosen, then “Labor to enter into that rest”!! (He 4:11)
