When we’re in the Spirit we Receive the Transmission and Realize our Position in Christ

For us to know and experience the all-inclusive, extensive Christ as our life, we need to see that we have one position, one life, one living, one destiny, and one glory with Christ, and when we’re in our spirit, we experience the divine transmission of all that He is into us. Hallelujah!

This week in our morning revival we come to the topic of, Knowing and Experiencing the All-inclusive, Extensive Christ as Our Life and as the Constituent of the New Man.

Everything that the Bible speaks concerning Christ is for our experience and enjoyment in a subjective way, in a real and personal way.

On one hand we need to see that Christ is our life, and on the other hand we need to realize that He must be the constituent of the one new man.

What God desires to gain is not many believers in Christ who enjoy Him and experience Him, but a corporate man, the one new man on this earth who fulfills His purpose of creating man.

The Head of this new man is Christ – who is the Head of the new creation, and the Body of this new man is us, the believers in Christ. In this new man there’s simply no room and no ground for anything else but Christ, for He is the life, person, element, essence, reality, and constituent of the one new man.

So when we enter into the enjoyment and experience of the all-inclusive, extensive Christ as our life and everything, we become the one new man, where Christ is all and in all. This is what the Lord desires to gain today.

And for this, we need to take Christ as our life and experience Him; our life is what we are, ourselves, so Christ needs to become so real, personal, and subjective to us that He is our life and our living.

Amen, may the Lord have a way to open our eyes to see and realize that Christ has become one with us – we are one spirit with Him – and He is our very life to be our living for the one new man! May we know and experience the all-inclusive, extensive Christ as our life today!

To Experience Christ as our Life we need to see we have one Position, Life, Living, Destiny, and Glory with Christ

In order for us, the believers in Christ, to experience Christ as our life, we need to see that we have one position, one life, one living, one destiny, and one glory with Christ (see Col. 3:1-4; cf. 1 Cor. 6:17).

If we read Col. 1:3-4 we will notice this expression “with Christ” – it refers to us sharing the same position with Him.

For us to experience Christ as our life in our daily living, we first need to see our position, that is, that we share the same position with Christ. This is the fact on which all our experiences are based; our experience of Christ is based on the fact that we are one with Him in position.

On one hand we have died with Christ, we were buried with Him, we were made alive with Christ, and we were raised together with Him (see Col. 2).

If we are in the wrong position, it is difficult for us to experience Christ.

To have a certain position means that we are placed in a certain realm, in a certain place, even placed in a certain person, in a fact and reality, and in a certain kind of atmosphere and state.

The Bible tells us that “you are in Christ…you were raised together…” – this is an accomplished fact, a reality! We were raised together with Christ and we have been made alive!

On one hand God gave us life, and on the other, He raised us from the position of death to a position of life; He raised up from the earth to the heavens. We are now seated with Christ in the heavenlies.

Where are we today? Are we merely where we are physically, or do we realize that we are in Christ, above, seated in the heavenlies, for He is at the right hand of God!

When He died, we died with Him; when He was buried, we were buried with Him; when He was made alive, we were made alive with Him; when He was raised, we were raised together with Him; and when He was seated at the right hand of God, we were seated with Him!

In God’s eyes, we are in Christ, we are one with Christ, and when He passed through all these processes and accomplished all these things, we were in Him and attained all of these things!

In this matter of our position we need to exercise faith; these days a lot of our daily life is short of the experience of Christ as life because we are short of the exercise of our faith.

Faith is important, for we do not physically see our position in Christ, but we believe it according to God’s word.

The Christian life is a life of faith; we believe in the accomplished facts in the word of God, and we simply declare the word.

We declare that we have been crucified with Christ, we were buried with Him, we were made alive with Him, we were raised with Him, and we were seated with Him in the heavenlies!

We shouldn’t think that this is too much or that we are too bold – we have one position with the Lord, and we have one life with Him; He is our life!

We have the same zoe life as God – we have the same life that God and Christ and the Spirit has, the incorruptible resurrection life!

And one day Christ will be manifested – today He is not seen, if we tell others that Christ is our life they think we’re crazy; but when Christ is manifested, we will be manifested with Him and we will be like Him for we will see Him as He is!

Christ is our life, and He is our living; He is our life for Him to live in us and with us. We share the same life and the same living.

This means that when we speak, He speaks, and when we go somewhere, He goes with us. But when we don’t exercise to remain one spirit with Him and therefore get upset when He doesn’t, then we are still earthly and fleshly, and the Lord is not getting upset with us and in us.

But praise the Lord, when we exercise our spirit of faith and are one with Him, we realize our position in Christ, and we share the same life, the same living, the same destiny, and the same glory with Him!

He is leading us as the many sons of God into glory so that His destiny would be our destiny – glory! Where Christ is, we will also be; we will share His glory for eternity! Hallelujah!

Our position is that we are in Christ; because we are in Him, we are where He is right now – sitting at the right hand of God (see Col. 3:1; John 14:20; 17:24; Eph. 2:6).

The Son’s position is in the Father (John 19:38; 14:10); we are in Christ, the Son (1 Cor. 1:30), so we are also in the Father (John 14:20; 1 Thes. 1:1; 2 Thes. 1:1). Hallelujah!

Lord Jesus, we exercise our spirit of faith to see, realize, and believe that our position is right now in Christ and with Christ! Hallelujah, we have one position with Christ, one life with Him, one living, one destiny, and one glory with Christ! We were crucified with Christ, buried with Him, made alive with Him, raised with Him, and seated with Him in the heavenlies! Praise the Lord, we have the same life as Christ, He is our living, He is our destiny, and He is bringing us into the same glory as His! Praise the Lord for our position in Christ!

When we’re in the Spirit we Receive the Transmission and Realize our Position in Christ

The Bible tells us of the position that we have in Christ, but how can we experience this position in a practical way? Is it merely by mentally understanding it and verbally stating it?

The secret is our mingled spirit; when we are in the spirit we are in Christ, in the Father, and in heaven practically and experientially.

For us to substantiate and make real our position in Christ, we must touch the spirit; we need to realize the crucial importance of our human spirit.

If we don’t know our spirit, there is no way for us to experience Christ as life; we can’t experience Him in our soul, in our mind, or in our flesh – we can experience Him only in our mingled spirit.

It is therefore important for us to know our spirit, turn to our spirit, and live and walk in the mingled spirit in our daily life.

In our spirit there is a constant transmission taking place from Christ in heaven to us on earth by means of the all-inclusive Spirit in our spirit (Eph. 1:19, 22-23; 2:22).

Christ is in our spirit, and He is the heavenly ladder that joins the throne of grace in heaven to our spirit; on this ladder there’s traffic going back and forth, and the divine realities are conveyed to us.

The very Christ who is sitting on the throne in heaven (Rom. 8:34) is also now in us (v. 10), that is, in our spirit (2 Tim. 4:22), where the habitation of God is (Eph. 2:22).

On one hand Christ is sitting at the right hand of God and intercedes for us before God, and on the other, He is in our spirit, for our spirit is His habitation.

Christ dwells not only in the center of the universe with God but also in the center of our universe, in the center of our being, in our spirit.

Since today our spirit is the place of God’s habitation, our spirit is now the gate of heaven, where Christ as the ladder (see Gen. 28:12-17; John 1:51) joins us to heaven and brings heaven to us.

When we are in our spirit, we are immediately, in real time, joined to the heavens, where Christ is; then, in real time all the things of the heavens including Christ Himself and the heavenly atmosphere and condition, are transmitted to us and made real to us.

This is why, when we go through a difficult situation on earth and turn to our spirit, we touch the heavens, grace is flowing, and we receive the divine transmission of grace and mercy to meet our timely need.

Hallelujah, whenever we turn to our spirit, we enter through the gate of heaven and touch the throne of grace through Christ as the heavenly ladder; our spirit is the receiving end of the divine transmission, whereas the throne of God is the transmitting end (Heb. 4:16).

On the day we were saved, the Triune God was installed into our being, and He is ready to function, transmit, and supply us with all that He is.

Just as a house has the electrical installation ready to work and power all the electrical appliances, heating, air conditioning, etc, once we turn on the switch, so spiritually we need to turn on the switch by turning to our spirit!

We need to deal with any insulation or hindrance to the flow of the divine life, removing anything that the Lord exposes to be a hindrance, so that He may flow!

It is when we are in our spirit that we are in Christ, in the Father, and in heaven practically and experientially.

When we turn to our spirit, walk in the spirit, and live in the mingled spirit, we receive the divine transmission, and we can live a heavenly life on earth, for Christ is our life and our living, and He is becoming our destiny and our glory.

Lord Jesus, may we realize the importance of our mingled spirit and may we turn to our spirit, live in the spirit, and walk in the mingled spirit! Hallelujah, when we are in the spirit we are in Christ, in the Father, and in the heaven practically and experientially, for there’s a transmission taking place from Christ in heaven to us on earth by means of the all-inclusive Spirit in our spirit! Thank You Lord Jesus for being installed in our spirit as the heavenly ladder to bring heavens to us and bring us into heavens. May we turn to our spirit again and again to enter through the gate of heaven and touch the throne of grace in heaven through Christ as the heavenly ladder! Amen, Lord, we want to deal with any blockage, any insulation, and any hindrance to the divine transmission, so that we may constantly be receiving all that Christ is and have Him be our life and our living, our destiny and our glory!
