Synopsis:

The breakthroughs we are looking for and are experiencing have a much more dynamic affect on what is transpiring in both the earth and the heavens than just being relegated to our own individual releases.  As we break through, the kingdom breaks through;  as we change, the kingdom changes.  It is not a singular or linear experience;  it may happen to us on a certain level, but it is like a pebble which has been dropped in the water;  the rippling effects are much more expansive and effecting changes on a much broader scale in the realm of spirit than we have understood.  Our release, even incrementally, affects changes in the spirit realm and in the natural realm simultaneously - whether thrones or dominions, governments or rulers, it matters not.

Any release or deliverance that is being experienced at this time is inter-connected to every level of the kingdom, whether visible or invisible, and is bringing forth changes on every plane of existence.  Romans 8 - as the sons come forth, so every level of creation changes and is affected.  Nothing should be taken “too” personal at this juncture in time, for the ministry of sonship is far broader and more reaching than we have understood.
 

The One World of Christ
4/1/09

And He is before all things,
and in Him all things hold together.
Col 1:17

For some time now scientists have searched to find the answers to creation and to understand just what this cosmic “glue” is that holds everything in its order.  There have been numerous hypothesis, but everything always comes back to trying to understand just what, at the most minute level of creation, is holding everything together.  What is this cosmic glue, just what keeps everything in order and in array?  Of course we know that answer, for that answer is God, the Father.  Just as Paul spoke in Colossians, in Him all things are held together.

What this means of course is that within the very fabric of your being, at the most minute level of your consciousness, God is there, holding all things in place.  As the psalmist spoke, He knows your inner thoughts, He knows when you sit down and when you stand up.  Amazingly, every fiber of our being, every vibration of energy that we are composed of is held together in God.  You can no more be separate from God than all of His creation.

Thou dost know when I sit down and when I rise up; Thou dost understand my thought from afar.  Thou dost scrutinize my path and my lying down, And art intimately acquainted with all my ways.   - Psa. 139:2-3

When we wait upon God, we quiet ourselves.  We come into a state of listening.  We go inside because there we find Him…not in the Heavens, but in the deep recesses of our heart and being.  God is always there.  We are never separate from Him.  The enemy would seek to convince us otherwise;  that we must work up to God.  That we must storm the gates of Heaven that He might listen and take account of us.  But in truth, He is as close as our innermost thoughts, His energy rides upon the vibration of our very essence.  For without Him, we cannot exist.  We don’t have to work up to God, we just must OPEN up to Him.  And realize how very, very close He is to us.  He knows our struggles, our sorrows, our victories, and the path He is orchestrating specifically to bring each of us into the fullness of sonship, as a mature son.

We are coming to realize that in Christ all things are held together.  Whether past, present or future.  Whether principalities, powers, thrones or dominions, all things are held together in Christ.

This is important for us to understand because the true ministry of sonship in this hour is based upon this “inter-connectedness” of all of creation in Christ.

Now, let’s take a look at Romans, Chapter 8:

For the earnest expectation of the creation waiteth for the revealing (literal: manifestation)  of the sons of God. For the creation was subjected to vanity, not of its own will, but by reason of him who subjected it, in hope that the creation itself also shall be delivered from the bondage of corruption into the liberty of the glory of the children of God. For we know that the whole creation groaneth and travaileth in pain together until now.  -  Romans 8:19-22

In the book of Romans Paul speaks about the travail of all creation, awaiting the release & manifestation of the Sons of God.  We have referred to this passage many times, in varying context.  But there is something that has escaped our awareness for the most part with respect to the fulfillment of this passage.

As these days of the kingdom come into full view, we are beginning to see that there is an intrinsic connection between the progressive manifestation of the Sons of God, and the progressive release of all of creation.  And with the mantle of sonship resting upon us we are beginning to not only know "who we are", but actually understand "what we are" in Christ.

Let me explain…

We generally see ourselves as individuals who are walking with God.  Our bodies we view as both the temple of the Holy Spirit and the housing of our soul and spirit.  For the most part this is how we have generally viewed ourselves  -  as a single entity, a unique individual in Christ, but still, somewhat singular.  I do not believe we have really been able to grasp how inter-connected we are to all of God’s kingdom, and as such, how much more we are than just what we perceive in this shell that houses our spirit and soul.

As we become fully identified with Christ, in totality, we cease to exist as a singular individual.  We are immersed into a connection or blending, into all of that which comprises God’s kingdom, and every level of creation that exists.  How can it be anything less?  If you are to walk in oneness with Christ and the Father, which is what we are experiencing on progressively deeper levels during this season of His parousia,  then you must understand the interpenetration you are beginning to take on with respect to all of God’s kingdom.  And as such, you must understand that every aspect of your being will begin to have radiating effects across the entire realm of the spirit.

The Ripple Effect

I call it the “ripple affect”.  Because the progressive release of the Sons of God brings with it the progressive release to all of creation as well.  They go hand in hand;  line upon line, precept upon precept, one step at a time.  The easiest way to imagine this would be to visualize a pebble being dropped in the water, and the rippling effects of that moment as it radiates out.

There is no release, there is no deliverance, there is no judgment that you experience that does not have a ripple affect across every level of the Kingdom bringing commensurate releases and deliverances.

God has tied you, irrevocably, to the releasing of all of His creation.  He has done this.  He has chosen that as His sons come forth, as His sons break free from futility, then all of His creation experiences the same freedom, the same release.

What a destiny, what a calling.  What an endowment.

When Christ died, the word says that He passed thru the “heavens” and sat at the right hand of the Father.  Christ passed through every level, every dimension of creation as He sat down at the right hand of the Father.  His release, His manifestation, affected every level of creation.  And it will be no different for us.  As the sons come forth, their release, their deliverance, will affect changes on every level of creation, known or unknown to us.

We have not seen, nor understood, just how intrinsically bound we are to all of creation.

All of creation can be seen to exist almost like in a web, all parts bound and interacting together.  One movement in the web affects movement in another sector of that web.  It is inter-connected. 

I know I may be saying the same thing over and over, but as God’s sons manifest, that "God level energy" is radiating out and reverberating across every level and dimension, affecting changes and releases.  I don't want you to think we are expressing some New Age mis-information here;  for us to be, for us to function, and for us to live, is God.  Is Christ.  It is  that simple.

Years ago we used to watch and study the reactions or responses in the spirit world or the natural plane to prayers that were being made.  You would pray over something only to find, if you were carefully watching, to see the affect of that prayer manifesting across the planet in some situation which would seem to be totally unconnected.  Fascinating study.  The words and prayers you speak are spirit.  They are not dead air, they are spirit.  And the responses which come back in the spirit can often times be seen in a myriad of ways.  Some of you have written in and shared those types of experiences.

But, you need eyes to see, because often times the answers to prayers, without revelation, will be almost impossible to recognize or discern.

As human beings we have functioned too much through our mind, approaching things from the mental, rather than from our heart, much more what I would call “linear” thinking, or 3 dimensional, rather than understand that there are a whole set of dynamics that we do not see or understand that are happening with every movement we make, every prayer, every release, every flow of judgment.  Nothing is a singular experience.  As I have said before, our release, EVEN INCREMENTALLY, affects changes simultaneously in many different realms and on many different levels.

As the Sons of God - The Kingdom Priests - change...
so does this age

How can that be?  Well, how can that not be.  Because we are Christ, we are the energy and essence of the Father, and as are our oneness intensifies, so the effect intensifies every time we change and come forth.  Every word we speak, every aspect of our being, even the slightest perceptions within our mind has a rippling effect of energy that affects every level of creation.

That is why it is so vitally important that we break through, because the release of the Cloud of Witnesses spoken of in Hebrews 11 and 12, is tied to the release and change which is happening within each of  us.  …they without us are not made perfect…. 

The general perception of  “creation” is that which can be seen with the eye; the flora, the fauna, the earth etc..  But we have come to understand that creation includes far more than just what our eyes might see. 

We understand that creation includes a spirit world, unknown or seen by most, but very much alive and active.  This spirit realm comprises many orders of creation;  from the elemental beings that work in synergy to keep the earth in balance, to the Cloud of Witnesses who have died in the faith, awaiting their release.  And yet more. 

As I mentioned before, when Christ died He passed through the heavens, and sat down at the right hand of the Father.  There are so many orders of creation; whether the Angels, or the other levels of created beings, that exist on other dimensions of God’s kingdom that are both participating with us in these last days, but whose release is tied once again to our release.  They have come from time to time, and we are aware that there are so many that have been awaiting this time, and awaiting the changes and releases which have been prophesied over the sons.

Our release, our change, even moment by moment, is having a wide and broad effect in the realm of the spirit, and of the kingdom.   It is time to refresh our vision, for we have not understood how the Father has tied us into the release of all of His creation.  It is – the One World of Christ.

Our breakthroughs, our releases, our battles, our victories, are not a singular event in time, but they have far reaching ramifications.

In all wisdom and insight He made known to us the mystery of His will, according to His kind intention which He purposed in Him with a view to an administration suitable to the fullness of the times, that is, the summing up of all things in Christ, things in the heavens and things upon the earth. –Eph 1:8b-10

We will see the summing up of ALL things in Christ, for we are a fundamental part of that process.

We are the leaven, the leaven upon this age, that is affecting a change across every level of creation and dimension.

We are the handful of corn, cast upon the mountains, the harvest which will shake the cedars of Lebanon.

We are the little flock, and it is the Father’s good please to give us the kingdom.  Now more than ever, we understand just how dynamic this is, how far reaching the ministry of Christ and the ministry of sonship is. 

Now we begin to understand just what our presence in the earth at this time really means….
