The focus and center of the heavenly vision is Christ Himself, the reality of all the positive things in the universe. The heavenly vision centers on Christ and takes Him as the focus, and this One is everything to us. The all-inclusive Christ lives in us to be our all, and He in us is […]
Let us Enjoy the All-Inclusive Christ as the Reality of All the Positive Things!
Drinking and Flowing the Water of Life in Resurrection in our Daily Experience
God in Christ as the Spirit is the living water in resurrection for us to drink and flow (see John 7:37-39). Christ has been smitten by God on the cross and out of His side flowed living water for man to drink and enjoy. Christ as the living rock has been cleft through His crucifixion, […]
Death (the Sea) is Defeated and Life (the Plant Life) is Generated by Christ (the Good Land)
Genesis 1 is not recorded in the Bible as “a history of the creation” but rather it is showing us how we can experience Christ as life. We start as “dead in sins and offenses” (Rom. 5:12) – corresponding to “the earth became waste and void” – and at one point, the Spirit of God […]
Pure Commerce is the Most Evil Thing on Earth: God Hates It and He Will Judge It!
This week we are continuing our study of Zechariah, and specifically to a crystal in this book that is not that well known: The Evil and Wickedness of Commerce versus a Divine Sense of Value concerning Christ and the Church. In Zechariah 5:5-11 we see the ephah vessel – which is a container holding one measure of […]

In the second part of Zechariah (the last six chapters), there are some prophecies concerning Christ in the future, after the recovery of the temple. In Zechariah we see […]
God Rules For Christ to Have the Preeminence in Us and Be Everything To Us
God’s desire is to give Christ the preeminence in all things – He wants Christ to have the first place in all things (see Col. 1:15, 18). In the old creation, Christ is preeminent – He is the firstborn of all creation. In the new creation, Christ is preeminent – He is the firstborn from […]
offering the consummate praise to God for the recovery of Christ, the house, the city, and the earth
Praise is the highest work that can be carried out by God’s children! The Christian life soars through praises! Even in prison and in stocks in Acts 16, Paul and Silas were praising the Lord – their spirits were soaring! We need to learn to take the important step from “praising God when we’re in the mood” to transcending everything by praising God! We should not set our eyes on our circumstances but on the Wonderful Christ – and praise will be rising in our being! Lord, I don’t know what to do in this situation, but my eyes are set on You!
