In the book of Isaiah we see a contrast between a man in the old creation(king Hezekiah, ch. 36-39) and a man in the new creation (ch. 40). No matter how good and spiritual Hezekiah was, because he was still in the old creation, he needed to be terminated and replaced with Christ! A person […]
we are daily learning to stop ourselves by waiting on the Lord and taking Him as our life and person
In the Old Testament there was a good king among the kings of Judah – king Hezekiah. When he started reigning, he put away all the idols, broke down their altars, purified the people, re-instituted the Passover, and brought the people of Judah and of Israel back to God, back to the worship of God.

Not an exchanged life, but a grafted life: Christ replaces us by living in us, with us, by us, and through us!
This week we are enjoying the fact that Christ is God’s Beloved, His Favorite, and He is the One who is all and in all in God’s economy – so He replaces everything and everyone else with Himself! In God’s eyes, Christ is the best, and Christ is the One God wants – so all […]

This wonderful all-inclusive Christ as the compound Spirit becomes our replacement daily by firing us and replacing us with Himself!
The Christ revealed in the book of Isaiah specifically is so rich: He is not just the Redeemer and the Savior, but He is so much more! God’s economy is simply that this Wonderful Person, Christ, would be worked into our being little by little, so that He would replace us with Himself in an […]
the all-inclusive Christ becoming everything in God’s economy – by replacing us with Christ!
In message 9 of the Crystallization study of Isaiah (1) entitled “The All-Inclusive Christ becoming everything in God’s economy” I was impressed with the fact that – even though for God Christ is everything in His economy, for us personally we need to have Christ as our everything, until “Christ is all and in all”.
