As He Is, So Are We in This World

As He Is, So Are We in This World
Dear Friend,
Fear is the enemy of our God-given authority to fulfill the Father’s plans in
the earth and must be rooted out from every aspect of our life. In all its forms,
thoughts, and emotions, we are to replace fear with truth. And we can do so by
taking up the Sword of the Spirit, which is God’s Word in our life—our offensive
weapon.
When we receive the Word and nurture it and allow it to become bone of our
bone, the Word becomes a living sword we use to cut down every thought that does
not line up with truth, because truth is the authority we use to fulfill the mind of
Christ in the earth. His mind for us is the Father’s will; it is the carrying out of His
plans and thoughts and His character becoming our very being.
First John 4:17b says, As he is, so are we in this world. Our salvation is in
Jesus, and what a salvation we have in Him! He is seated at the right hand of the
Father and has been given the Name above every name, that at His Name, every
knee shall bow—this is the position and authority we have been given in Him. Yet,
for us to walk in who we are in Christ, we must use our authority to cast down
every thought and feeling that has nothing to do with God’s thoughts and ways. It
can be a battle, but it is a battle we can fight and win.
The more we keep our mind, our thoughts fixed on Jesus and engaged in His
Word, Isaiah 26:3 promises: Thou wilt keep him in perfect peace, whose mind is
stayed on thee—why?—because he trusteth in thee. Choosing to live in the realm
of God’s Word increases our trust, our faith, and the understanding of the authority
we possess.
Our life in Christ means we can walk in the dominion that is part of our
birthright as God’s children, but to do so requires living “on purpose” in Him. It is
purposely taking the time in fellowship with Him to be trained by His Spirit so that
we are purposely thinking, speaking, and living as citizens of the Kingdom of light.
Jesus said, I am the light of the world: he that followeth me shall not walk
in darkness, but shall have the light of life (John 8:12). Jesus, the Logos, God’s
manifested Word is Light, and where Light is, darkness, deception, torment, and
fear cannot be. This is truth and our authority—our birthright! As He is, so are we
in this world. This is who we are in Him.
Once again the time has come for those who will esteem My
Word more than they do their necessary food. They will no longer take
My words lightly, as entertainment almost, and something of small
value, for I have not had you here all this time to separate Myself from
you now. With My own arm, tonight, I gather you unto Myself. And I
am rekindling an appetite in you, an appetite not only for My written
Word, but for the words that I speak to you, that they become your
very life, more precious than gold, more needful than your necessary
food. Eat My Word until it becomes a part of you, bone of your bone,
flesh of your flesh, where it brings life to you like the marrow does to
the blood.
With the measure that you give My Word, that is exactly the
same measure that you will see the results of My Word, says the Lord.
Our fellowship with God is and always will be top priority as we deliberately
make time to spend in His Presence reading and meditating on His Word and the
words He has spoken to us, confessing His Word, worshiping, praying in the Spirit,
fasting, waiting on and co-laboring with Him. Each of these foundational keys is
part of our on-purpose life in Christ. In Him, we have been born again to shine as
lights in the world, and the same narrow path He walked is laid out before us—a
path of manifested truth in full authority and fellowship with the Father who gives
freely of all that He is so we might accomplish all He has planned for our life and in
the earth. On purpose, we can walk hand in hand with His Spirit, and with Him
finish our course and hear, “Well done, thou good and faithful servant” (Matthew
25:21).
1. Yes, yes, you will have boldness in the Day of Judgment, because as He is, so are we
in this world. Perfect love casts out all fear. He who has fear is not made perfect in
love, because fear has torment. And the further you get in the spirit, the stronger the
foundation of love and peace will become.
2. I desire to take your authority and speak My Words through you and wield that
two-edged Sword. I desire you to build that intimate relationship with Me in your
spirit, says the Spirit of Grace, and possession of the Promised Land will replace your
cares. For when you rise up to be strong in My spirit and listen for the objectives that I
will place in there, everything that is dead, every dried limb, will be purged along the
wayside as you hold to your objective to enter in all the way into Me.
3a. I return, says God, as the Lion of Judah, and the Lion of Judah is the Lion of
Praise. I tell you the truth this day, that if you will lift Me up and worship and praise
Me with all of your being, says God, you will speed My return. I return, not as the
Lamb, but as the Lion of Judah. The Lion of Judah, My children, is the Lion of Praise.
3b. Great authority is yours, says the Spirit of Grace, when it comes from above. I
will empower you with great power yet with gentleness as gentle as the dove. So
submit yourself to Me and humble yourself in My Presence, says the Spirit of Grace,
and worship Me. Worship Me. Worship Me, and I will charge every ounce of this place.
Separate Yourself
4. You shall know the truth, and the truth will make you free. As you walk in the light
as He is in the light, then you will have fellowship with the Father, and the blood of
Jesus Christ His Son shall cleanse you and cleanse you and cleanse you and cleanse
you from all sin. So be strong in the power of My might. Put on the armor of God and
fix it within your heart to be steadfast in the Word and in holiness, and you shall see
in these last days many wonderful things.
5. Hear what the Spirit of the Lord would say and come to Him, all of you, from the
furthest places of your walk gather yourself into His Presence, for He will hear your
prayers. For as He is your Brother, for as He is your Friend, for as He is your
Confidant, for as He is your Lord and your Savior, for as He is your God, He also is
your High Priest. And when you come to Him as such, then He is the Administrator of
your prayers. Therefore, use great boldness and find help in a time of need. For it
is the pleasure of the entire Kingdom of God to see to it that your prayers are both
heard and answered.
6a. Hear what the Lord would say, says the Holy Spirit, for many of you are
bordering on a place of authority that the Lord would covet after, for He desires
that relationship with you, that place of authority where He can come and instruct
you of what He desires to be done. A place of authority, of power, that all He needs
is to come and alert you in the spirit, and your authority becomes His authority,
and His authority becomes your authority. And at that time, says the Spirit of
Grace, I will use you to change things in key places of the world. I will use you in
the government. I will use you for the lost, and I will use you to change legislation
in your own city, for I covet this relationship with My Church, and I covet it with
individuals.
6b. Where are My people, those who endure and prefer to spend time in My
Presence that they might know Me, that I may fellowship with them and pour My
authority through them?
6c. Oh, hear what the Spirit would say: Some of you are approaching a new place of
authority. But give yourself to Me, for it will only take a handful who will cause
Me to pour My glory out on the rest. And you shall surely enter in then to My
Presence and glory and miracles and see things you have not seen before. But be of
good cheer, for it is My pleasure to give you the keys. And it is one thing to be a
bystander, and it is another thing to be in the glory cloud.
7a. The world has heard a little about the Lamb of God. The world has not yet seen
the Lion of the tribe of Judah. The Lion is coming. I come to bring the vengeance of
My Father against My enemies. And those who have not hearkened to My counsel
and will not obey My voice, those who have rejected My wisdom, now shall wisdom
reject them, says the Lord.
7b. Those of you who are willing, come away with Me. Heed the voice and the call of
My Spirit. Come away with Me. The end of all things approaches, time shall soon
run out. Hearken well, heed the call of My Spirit: come away, come away with Me,
says the Spirit of the Lord.
8. I am showing you glimpses of the war that you are engaging in through increased
authority, and My admonition is to keep your eyes on the Author and the Finisher
of your faith. As He is, so are you in this world. He is victorious. He is seated at My
right hand, far above—far above—all principality, power, might, rule, dominion,
and every name that is named. There is no foe that can stand against Him. There is
no power that is greater than God. There is no god but the one true God.

My Mind Is for Family
9. The more My children pray, the more My Spirit is able to teach them about Me
and about who they now are in Me through My Son and about the full image that
has been given to them as their inheritance—which is the full image of My Son—as
He is, so are you in this earth. The full image is Christ in you, the Hope of glory.
10. You are not left as orphans. I have given you My Spirit to be with you always,
and the path you are on is a path you walk with Him. Let the path become
narrower. Yield even more to the Spirit of the Living God and continue to use every
key to open more and more of the doors that are the understanding of who you are
in Me. Every door opens to a narrower part of the path. Enter each door and walk
forth, for this is the way of your authority. As He is, so are you in this earth.
11a. Your inheritance is the life of Christ in you. Your inheritance is the fullness of
fellowship with My Spirit who brings to you the mind of Christ. It has been granted
to you to know My will, walk in My will, and bring about My will in the earth
through fellowship with My Spirit. Only through knowing Me, only through
knowing My Spirit will you walk in the fullness of your inheritance. What is yours
is not withheld, of course, but is received as together we walk past the snares of the
enemy and the resistance of your own soul.
11b. It is through My Spirit and your fellowship with Him that you walk into the
miracles that I bring. The miracles I speak of are not only in the realm of healing
and deliverance, the release of My power into the earth and into lives—the miracles
I speak of include the entrance of My Word, which brings light. There is no power
that can illuminate a life with truth, except My Word. My Word is the eternal power
that brings man into unity with Me. My Word is living and is the power that moves
your life forward into all that you are in Me. The miracle I alone can bring is the
work of My Spirit in your life as He takes My words to you and builds in you the
understanding of them. Through fellowship with My Spirit, your Teacher, comes
maturity—the stature of the fullness of Christ in you.
12. With that spirit of Christ that quickened you from death to life, I have sent the
Teacher, the One who has purposely been sent to make My ways your ways and to
make My thoughts your thoughts that the very mind of Christ shall be manifested
in the earth through you—His Body.
13a. He really wants you to become a great receiver of the authority that He has
available for you to win. He wants you to begin to expect it.
-3-
13b. You don’t have to be concerned about making a mistake, because the Holy
Spirit only anoints your authority that is the will of the Father. Because what you
have is the authority, and He is co-laboring with you and waiting to release His
power to accomplish the Father’s will.
13c. He is saying: I am going to bring this authority. You already have it as a seed.
You already received it as a seed when you received Christ, but I am wanting you to
know the way I am thinking, the way I am thinking. My “laser focus” is now is the
season to give you the authority to defeat the enemy in everything that you are
struggling with right at this moment.
15a. In yielded vessels, all things are determined according to the mind of Christ.
Oh, how the Father desires willing and yielded vessels whom He may freely use
through the power of the Holy Spirit to change lives, rescue and restore lives, and
bring many into My arms of salvation. The walk of the spirit is the walk of power. It
is the walk that agrees with My mind. It is the will of the Father in the earth. It
is the walk that is yielded—willing and obedient.
15b. Yield yourself, a living sacrifice, to Me. Live in Me. Abide in My Word and let
My words abide in you. See truth. Speak truth. Abide in truth. Life on this earth is
but a moment compared to eternity, but life on this earth consecrated to the will of
the Father is to walk in close fellowship with My Spirit, far beyond where most have
dared to walk. It is to live as a champion in the dominion that is ordered by the life
within. This is the walk of the spirit. This is the walk I walked. This is faith and
this is freedom.
16a. I really don’t think we know how much it means to Him right now, where we
have come as a body, where we have come as individuals, how delighted He is in
that, because He has authority on this earth through us. And things are changing
and they are changing quickly, though we can’t see it.
16b. And the faith that we are believing for Him for what He is going to do, there is
still one thing that He needs: It is our authority. The one thing He needs is us to
not stop, stay on this path of growth and edification and spending time with Him.
And how precious that is in His eyes right now and how delighted He is with us that
we have not stopped, and we are still on this path, and we are going to go there,
because you know we are going to see revival.
