God gave Christ to be Head over all things to the church; today we need to see, believe and receive the divine transmission of the exalted and ascended Christ to enjoy all the riches of Christ and become His fullness, the church life, for the corporate expression of Christ. Amen!
May we be those who come forward to Christ, again and again, to be where He is, in ascension. He is enthroned, far above all, to carry out His heavenly ministry, and He is also in our spirit.
However, so many times we’re wrapped up in our own things, caught with all the details of our daily living and situations, and busy with so many things apart from the Lord.
We’re often introspective, trying to see our situation and how we can improve or change ourselves.
The Lord keeps calling us out of ourselves, out of the introspection of the self, and out of our present situation and condition, to just come to Him and enjoy Him in ascension.
When we are with Him in ascension, when we share His position in ascension, we will see that the enemy is under our feet, and we will execute His authority over the enemy.
We don’t do this in and by ourselves; we do this one with the Lord and in Him.
On the one hand, we experience the cross and resurrection, and on the other hand, we are one with Him in His ascension, and we execute His will on the earth in our oneness with Him in ascension.
Christ has been given all authority in heaven and on earth. He is ruling over all people, all things, and all beings in heaven and on earth.
He is in charge. He is over all the leaders of every country, and He is carrying out His heavenly ministry.
At the same time, He is continually transmitting all that He is and has accomplished into us as the church, the Body of Christ.
We are the Body of the ascended Christ; He is our Head, He has been ascended, and all that He is, all that He has, and all that He has accomplished is being continually transmitted into us.
As long as we are open vessels to His divine dispensing, as long as we open our being without reservation to Him, His divine transmission reaches us. Hallelujah!
On one hand, outwardly in the world situation, Christ administrates the entire universe to carry out God’s purpose.
On the other hand, inwardly and spiritually, Christ transmits all that He is and has into our being to make us the church, the Body of Christ, the fullness of the One who fills all and in all. Hallelujah!
We can now simply open to Him, open to His divine transmission, and remain open to Him throughout the day so that He would transmit all that He is and has into our being.
This is how we can live our Christian life and church life, and this is how we can express our Triune God; only by being open to the Lord’s divine transmission daily.
See, Believe, and Receive the Divine Transmission of the Exalted and Ascended Christ
The Gospels and the book of Acts show us that Christ was exalted far above all, and He has been given to be the Lord of all and the Christ. He was enthroned above all.
In the Gospel of Luke we see that, after His resurrection, the Lord Jesus took His disciples to a mountain and lifted up His hands and blessed them.
While He blessed them, He parted from them and was carried up to heaven (Mak 16:19; Luke 24:50-51).
They worshipped Him and returned to Jerusalem with joy.
They were not crying because the Lord left them; He had been preparing them for this, and they actually saw Him ascending.
In Acts 1:9-11 we have a description of that moment but with different details.
Here we are told that, while they were looking on, He was lifted up and a cloud took Him away from their sight.
Hallelujah, Christ was ascended! Praise the Lord!
We shouldn’t say that Christ’s ascension doesn’t affect us today, many years after He ascended.
Rather, we need to see that, as Paul writes in Eph. 1:19-22, from the ascended and exalted Christ there is a continual transmission going on.
We need to pray that the Lord would enlighten us and open the eyes of our heart to see the divine transmission of the exalted and ascended Christ.
We need to believe that, in the divine and spiritual realm there’s a power that transmits all that Christ is, all that He has, all that He has obtained, and all that He has attained in His ascension into our being.
God gave Him to be Head over all things to the church; this little word “to” implies a transmission going on.
We need to be clean receptacles, those willing to open to the Lord to receive the divine transmission, and we will enjoy it day by day.
On the one hand, we need to see and believe in the divine transmission; on the other hand, we need to experience it and receive it day by day.
We need to open to the Lord daily to receive the divine transmission of the exalted and ascended Christ.
When we experience this divine transmission, nothing can defeat us, frustrate us, or hold us down.
We are filled with light, life supply, and sustaining power, for we are continually enjoying and receiving the divine transmission.
A person who was continually in the divine transmission of the exalted and ascended Christ was Stephen, one of the first martyrs.
Humanly speaking, he ended his course earlier than others, but as he was being stoned, he was looking to heaven and saw Jesus standing there at the right hand of God. Wow!
He said, Behold, I see the heavens opened and the Son of Man standing at the right hand of God.
Christ in His ascension was so eager and excited to see His faithful follower and believer that He was standing – not being seated – at the right hand of God in ascension.
Stephen had been enjoying and receiving the divine transmission of the exalted and ascended Christ, and now he was about to enter into a fuller enjoyment of this divine transmission.
May we see that we as the church should be in the divine transmission of the exalted and ascended Christ.
![And what is the surpassing greatness of His power toward us who believe, according to the operation of the might of His strength Eph. 1:19 And He subjected all things under His feet and gave Him [to be] Head over all things to the church. Eph. 1:22](https://i0.wp.com/www.agodman.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/05/And-what-is-the-surpassing-greatness-of-His-power-toward-us-who-believe-683x1024.jpg?resize=400%2C600&ssl=1 "And what is the surpassing greatness of His power toward us who believe, according to the operation of the might of His strength Eph. 1:19 And He subjected all things under His feet and gave Him [to be] Head over all things to the church. Eph. 1:22")
May we not fear anything outwardly and may we not succumb to anxiety or doubts inwardly.
May we see that all things have been subjected under His feet, and may we realize that Christ has been given the headship over the entire universe.
Now whatever He has attained and obtained by being raised from the dead, seated at the right hand of God, given to be Head over all things, and having all things subjected under His feet – all this is being constantly transmitted into our being.
All this is toward us who believe (Eph. 1:19) and to the church (v. 22).
As we remain open to the Lord day after day, we share with Christ in all His attainments.
We share in His resurrection from the dead, in Him being seated on the throne in His ascendancy, in the subjection of all things under His feet, and in the headship over all things.
He is in us as our life supply, and His resurrection and ascension are also in us. He is constantly transmitting all that He is by means of Himself as the processed, all-inclusive, indwelling Spirit!
His divinity, His humanity, His human living, His death, His resurrection, and His ascension with all their effectiveness and application are being transmitted into us. Praise the Lord!
If we only open to Him and are unveiled to see, believe, and receive the divine transmission, we will experience it in our daily life.
Lord Jesus, enlighten the eyes of our heart and cause us to see that there is a divine transmission from the exalted and ascended Christ into us, the church! Hallelujah! May we see, believe, and receive the divine transmission day by day. Amen, Lord, we look away from anything else unto You. We look away from our condition, our present situation, and all our weaknesses and failures unto You. We open to You. We open to Your divine transmission in our spirit. Thank You for being in us, in our spirit, to dispense and transmit all that You are into us. Hallelujah, we as the church have a share in Christ’s resurrection from the dead, being seated in ascendancy, His headship, and His subjection of all things! Praise the Lord, we can empty ourselves and open to the Lord to receive and enjoy the divine transmission of the exalted and ascended Christ into our being today!
Receive the Divine Transmission to become the Fullness of God for His Expression
The issue or result of our receiving the divine dispensing is that we become the church, the fullness of the One who fills all and in all (Eph. 1:23). Hallelujah!
In His ascension, Christ was made the Head of the church, His Body, to express God in His fullness (Col. 1:18; Eph. 1:23; 3:19).
He was given the Headship over all things and all things were put under His feet, and He expresses God in His fullness.
Christ as the Head and we as the Body are one, forming a universal man.
With this divine matter, there is neither the element of space nor the element of time.
All believers in Christ who are open to the Lord to receive the divine transmission are part of the fullness of God for His expression. Praise the Lord!
We as the Body are one with the Head in the divine life and in the divine Spirit.
We may think we’re so low, so weak, so full of sins, and so down; however, according to the divine viewpoint, we’re one with the ascended Christ, and His ascension is also ours (Eph. 2:6).
God has raised us up together with Christ and has seated us with Him in the heavenlies, far above all things.
According to God, we’re in ascension one with Christ.
Here in ascension, we express God in His fullness by continually receiving the divine transmission!
Since the transcending Christ is the embodiment of the Triune God (Col. 2:9), His transcending transmission includes all the rich dispensing of the Triune God to make us the fullness of Christ for His expression (Eph. 1:22-23; 3:19, 8).
No matter how much we try by our own effort to express God, we can never do it.
Job in the Old Testament tried very hard, and he obtained a self-made righteousness that was not pleasing to God and which God had to expose and destroy in order for Him to come and be his righteousness.
We simply need to open to the Lord and receive the divine transmission of the exalted and ascended Christ, and we will be filed unto all the fullness of God to become His fullness. Hallelujah!
As we open to the Lord to receive His transcending transmission, we are filled with the rich dispensing of the Triune God and become the fullness of Christ for HIs expression.
If we simply open to Him, give ourselves to Him, and enjoy Him, He will fill us with Himself. We can simply tell Him,
Lord Jesus, we’re here. We open to You. We love You. We give ourselves to You. Oh Lord, we empty our entire being before You. Come in, Lord, and fill us with Yourself. Unveil us and unload us. We don’t want to be filled with anything else. Fill us with what You are. We are open to Your divine transmission. May the transcending transmission of the exalted Christ reach us and fill us!
If we just open to the Lord throughout the day, there’s a transmission from the throne in the heavens – which is in our spirit – that takes place.
Christ is the expression of God, and as such a One He is dispensing Himself into us to make us the fullness of God, His corporate expression.
It is only by enjoying the riches of Christ that we can become His fullness.
As we are filled unto all the fullness of God by receiving the divine transmission of the transcended Christ, we become the church, His Body, the fullness of the One who fills all and in all.
We all can testify that, as we enjoy Christ and are open to His divine transmission, His riches fill our being, and we become part of the fullness of Christ.
We express Him spontaneously, without even trying to do so.
The result is the church life, the fullness of Christ.
May we bring this before the Lord and ask Him to fulfill this in us and in all the saints in all the local churches.
May we take God at His word and pray His word back to Him that He may do it in us.
We can simply open to Him, realizing that in ourselves we can’t do this but His divine transmission can, and we can pray to allow Him to do it in us.
Lord Jesus, bring us into the experience of the divine transmission of the exalted and ascended Christ in our daily living and in the church life. We fully open to You. We open to Your divine transmission of all that You are and have into our being. We want to enjoy Your riches, we allow You to make Your home in our heart, and we let You fill our whole being until we become the fullness of God! Hallelujah, the church is becoming the fullness of the One who fills all and in all! Amen, Lord, may we in the church life today become the fullness of Christ to express Him corporately by our continual receiving of the divine transmission of the exalted and ascended Christ! Oh Lord, we open to You. Make this real to us. Give us the experiences we need for us to be in the divine transmission and be filled unto all the fullness of God! Gain this in us and among us in the church life today! Gain Your fullness! Gain Your corporate expression as a result of our receiving and enjoying the divine transmission!

We need to see, believe, and receive the divine transmission of the exalted and ascended Christ day by day.
We simply need to open to Him and love Him, enjoy His riches, and let Him fill us until we become the church, the fullness of the One who fills all and in all.
Thank you so much for this portion dear brother.
Aaaaameeen! Day by day Lord keep us open to You to be filled by You!!
Amen brother. May the Lord guard our hearts and save us from unbelief.
Many simply do not believe that Christ is transmitting His humanity, divinity, human living, death, resurrection & ascension into His Body.
This is the whole reason why our Christ became the life-giving Spirit.
Jesus did not need to become a life-giving Spirit in order to save us from sin.
He is the all-inclusive Spirit so that we may receive His divine transmission and share in all that He is.
The sin of unbelief is a very serious & damaging problem. Many have left the church life for that very reason.
May the Lord deliver us and continue to gain us fully.
Without the fullness of the Godhead, the church can never become the bride of Christ.
Amen dear brother.
Whatever He has obtained and attained in His resurrection and ascension is now being transmitted into us by the all-inclusive life-giving Spirit.
Praise the Lord! 😃🙌🙋🏼

The All-Inclusive Christ, the Life-giving Spirit with His human living, death, resurrection and ascension are being transmitted to the church to be His fullness for His expression.
If we are to experience such a divine transmission as members of the Body which is one in the divine life and in the divine Spirit with Christ who is the Head, we must be clean and open to receive His riches through the divine dispensing.
We need to believe that in the divine, spiritual realm, there is a power that transmits to us all that Christ has attained and obtained in His ascension.
Whatever He has attained and obtained is now being transmitted into the church.
As long as we are clean receptacles and are willing to open ourselves, this transmission will take place continually.
Amen. Yes, Lord, we agree .we open ourselves to you, and empty ourselves of all things come and fill us with yourself so that we become the fullness, your expression.

05/09/24 Knowing the Ascension (Week 7, Day 4)
In Ephesians 1:19 and 20 Paul prayed that we would know “the surpassing greatness of His power toward us who believe, according to the operation of the might of His strength, which He caused to operate in Christ.” The surpassing greatness of God’s power is toward us. Paul used the word surpassing to show that the greatness of God’s power toward us is beyond our concept, knowledge, and understanding.
To see the surpassing greatness of the power toward us requires revelation. Therefore, Paul prayed for us concerning this. We also need to pray for this day by day. Especially in these days we need to pray, “Lord, open the eyes of our heart, and grant us revelation that we may know the surpassing greatness of Your power toward us.” Although we may not be able to know it to the fullest extent, we still must have some revelation and experience.
In order to know something of the surpassing greatness of God’s power toward us, we need to realize the power that God operated in Christ. If we do not know this, we will not be able to know the greatness of this power toward us. God’s power that is toward us is the same power that He caused to operate in Christ. This indicates a transmission. What God caused to operate in Christ is being transmitted to us in the same way that electricity is transmitted into a lamp.
We may also compare this transmission to the flow of blood in our body. All the blood that flows through our head is transmitted to our body. We need to be very clear that there is something in the universe called “His power” (Eph 1:19). Moreover, this power has been wrought in Christ and is toward the church, causing it to become the power of the church.
According to Ephesians 1:19-22, God’s power is of fourfold:
1.) Resurrecting or raising up power (Eph 1:20),
2.) Ascending or seating power (Eph 1:20),
3.) Subjecting power (Eph 1:22), and
4.) Heading up power (Eph 1:22).
The surpassingly great power of God toward us is according to the operation of the might of His strength, which He caused to operate in Christ. God’s power toward us is the same as the power that He caused to operate in Christ. Christ is the Head and we are the Body. The Body participates in the power that operates in the Head. Only by enjoying this fourfold power can we sustain our Christian church life and only by experiencing this fourfold power can we cooperate in the fulfillment of God’s divine economy.
Toward us who believe (Eph 1:19) and to the church (Eph 1:22) indicate that the divine power, which includes all that the Triune God has passed through, has been installed into us once for all and is being transmitted into us continually, causing us to enjoy Christ richly and to have the proper church life as His Body, His fullness, which is the issue of God’s blessing (Eph 3:19).
Ameen!! Amen…
In His ascension Christ was made the Head of the church, His Body, to express God in His fullness.
How we need to believe, substantiate, and experience the divine transmission day by day. In this transmission, we will receive light, life, supply, and sustaining power enabling us to triumph, succeed, and not be held down.
We need to believe that whatever He has obtained and attained in His resurrection and ascension is now being transmitted by the all-inclusive life-giving Spirit which is in us.
Amen. Lord Jesus we open to you, fill us with yourself till we transform to your image.
[HWMR-Week 7 Day 4]
“We should not only believe in the divine transmission; we need to experience it day by day. I can testify that because I experience this transmission, nothing can defeat me, frustrate me, or hold me down. Light, life supply, and sustaining power come to me continually because of this divine transmission.” brother Lee
Oh Lord Jesus! Thank you for staying connected all the time. Thank you for your infinite mercies, and for showing us every morning in our intimacy that we are the ones who must OPEN COMPLETELY so that you can operate all that authority and resurrection and subjectively apply Your ascension with all the riches of your Being in each of us.
Forgive us because we are the ones who move away and cut off that current of communication pressured by work, money, family, our weak flesh that lends itself to murmuring, judging and criticizing.
Hallelujah! for the Spirit of transmission that is permanently available to EVERYONE WHO BELIEVES and does not question.
