Jesus was a Radical
Jesus radicalness came from a foundation
and desire with in of wanting to create an extreme change in the world and it was built on His spiritual inherited characteristics
which did not come from a physical sensual derived root of origin. Now this is a mouthful and we must completely comprehend
where His empowered radicalness came from because; it was God His Father's intensions from the beginning of time that;
all His children should walk in obedience to God the Father's leadings and do the same works as His first born Son Jesus
when he walked the earth.
We must have no doubt that; Jesus is the Son of God
and that He's alive today sitting at the right hand of God His Father as a mediator for us through His one act of dying
on the cross to restore our relationship with God due to us being born with a fallen nature. We can only have the full awareness
of this in mind and heart if; we have had a born again experience and the Spirit of God is housed in our mortal body through
the Holy Ghost.
This fallen nature was caused by the inheritance we received from
our greatttttttt grand father Adam. This is why we who are God's children had to have a second spiritual birth and by
accepting Jesus sacrifice it made us become born again and we were raised to a new life in Christ Jesus. This new creation
that we became made us all like Jesus and we became God's children with His powers and abilities.
Our miracle of having a born again experience is not derived from any religious or moral code or concept made
up by mankind in their attempt to live some kind of good holy life to get God's approval. It only comes by us being impregnated
by the sperm of God the Father which has the entire God head consisting of the Father, Son and Holy Ghost coming to permanently
live in us. Since all born again children of God have all of their Heavenly Father's characteristics in them through Christ;
all reasoning and actions in their life must be motivated though God's genes with the Mind of Christ they received the
day they came into God's family.
Man's natural conclusions with out the
Holy Ghost's leadings believe that; people who have had a born again experience and manifest the word's and works
of Jesus as these people being foolish, hostile and with great skepticism.
Jesus
life was motivated by an inner voice with God's inherent power and not by any special education, training or personal
powers of his own; but His works of healing; casting our devil's etc. came through the power of Christ who lived in Him
and His anointing.
Jesus came out of Mary's womb a born again child of God
because she conceived Jesus by being impregnated by the Holy Ghost. This caused Jesus to come into the world as a born again
believer without the fallen nature that we were born with. He had to be born unblemished because; He was called on by God
His Father to be an unblemished sacrifice to be offered up for the sin of mankind on the cross.
This is the same concept in the Old Testament where back then the Levitical Priest offered unblemished animals
once a year so the sins of the people could be forgiven. By our accepting Jesus offering; we have once and for all been cleansed
of all sin past, present and future. Only Jesus and no one else could have fulfilled this call because; all other humans born
on the earth were born blemished because; their physical birth came from the sperm of an earthly father and they were born
as a sinner with a fallen nature.
Jesus lived thirty three physical years on
the earth and scripture tells us how He submitted Him self in being obedient to His Heavenly Father's call on his life.
Jesus was the first Christian to walk the earth because; He had Christ in Him. Jesus was a God man just as we are by having
our born again experience. Christ becomes human every time a person is impregnated with God's Spirit of Christ.
I personally believe that as real and true as this statement is; in many circles of Christian and
non Christian circles this would be a radical statement and it would be looked at as an insane person talking. Be patient;
we are just getting started as to Jesus radicalness and how radical we must be as God's children.
In my attempt to have my steps ordered by the Lord these last forty five years even when I did not
recognize it. Thank God that His mercies and goodness never change where ever our wilderness walk takes us. I have talked
to people every where and some have told me that Jesus was a communist. The first time I heard that many years ago; I was
taken aback and offended. Thank God I have learned to be slow to speak, quick to hear and slow to anger and God has taught
me how to discern what is in the heart of people like this who ignorantly oppose them self like this.
This concept of being a communist back then was that of an enemy out to destroy democracy and wanting
world domination. I can more clearly understand today that it was Jesus radical thoughts, words and action that could be interpreted
that way. Scripture tells us that God's ways and thoughts are higher then man's ways and thoughts.
A Christian who is not a meditater and reader of scripture will never function in their radicalness
as Jesus did. The deep secrets of the Spirit of God must be sought out with sold out patience and with one eyed Cyclops focused
attention and all of God's kids must be going to the Holy Ghost's seminary to get true revelation of God's way
of thinking. All man kind is in a battle to either live in their fleshly ideas or passionately wanting to surrender and live
their life in Christ and let Him live again in them.
Paul made this very clear
when he says this in Galatians 2:20-21. " I have been crucified with Christ and in Him I have shared His crucifixion;
it is no longer I who live, but Christ who lives in me; and the life I now live in my physical body I live by faith; by obeying
and relying and having a complete trust in the Son Of God, Who loved me and gave Him self up for me. Therefore; I do not frustrate
the grace of God in my life: for if my righteous standing in God comes by me trying to live by obeying laws, then Christ died
in vain and it has no spiritual substance."
I am a man totally possessed
like being on a crusade trying to understand how to become saturated with these scriptures and learn how to let go of my life
and let God live again in me. Our radicalness is totally dependent on this scripture coming alive to our inner man and we
allowing God to let us die to self and let Christ live again through us. I ask this question; would a child of God who is
a passionate God seeker; intentionally want to frustrate God's grace which is his divine favor they do not have to earn?
It is saddening and grievous but true that; a large majority of born again believers are either ignorant
of their radical capabilities and there are also those that are living in a intentional life style knowing that they are walking
in disobedience and breaking God's commandments.
I said earlier that born
again believers have had their sins forgiven by Christ Jesus past, present and future. When God the Father looks at His children
who are diligently seeking Him or those who are ignorant because they have not rightly interpreted the scriptures as taught
by the Holy Ghost or those who are living in deliberate sin and know that; they are violating God's laws; He still sees
them all as blameless, free from evil and separated unto Him self so Christ can work through them for Godly purposes.
Since we have Christ in us; we are God the Father's His children with His DNA in us even though
we may be living alienated from Him in our frail and uneducated way of how he jealously loves us. Jesus took care of sin at
the cross and a born again believer who deliberately knows they are living in disobedience can not sin against God but; they
can sin against them self. Now bear with me here.
When God the Father looks at
His children he sees Christ Jesus in them and they are with out spot or wrinkle and wearing a white robe of righteousness
covering all their faults and shortcomings. Unless we truly understand this and the consequences of our decision making and
how we are to reason with Godly wisdom of how the Holy Ghost sees us through scripture; one can forget about being a radical
like Jesus. In James 4:17. He says this "Any person who knows what's right to do but does it not, to him it is sin."
Scripture tells us that; when we think with a consciecness of right and wrong
concepts; we judge our self because; we believe we have broken a law and this is where all the sin consciecness comes from.
Sin is a personal judgment we put on our self not the Holy Ghost judging us. Only unsaved people are judged as sinners in
God sight.
A person who judges him self is one who in their mind believes they
have broken the Ten Commandments or some other religious law that they believe they have to live up to; to be accepted by
God or man. We have more man made laws operating in different denominations then China has rice causing people to condemn
them self and living in a basement mentality rather then living in the palace with boldness as a king and priest in God's
service.
There is a spirit running ramped in Christian circles of leadership putting
obligated responsibilities on God's kids that drives a person to despair. We must realize and be able to identify these
types of spirits and be able to run our race of radicalness only by us having a minute by minute revelation from the Holy
Spirit so that we can continually walk in the perfect law of liberty with power free from obligated servitude and condemnation.
A person who sins against himself; feels shame and guilt and when they abuse their soul (mind, will
and emotions); it makes them feel unworthy and the boldness they need to enter heavenly places with Christ Jesus makes them
feel inferior and they will never do radical acts like Jesus did. Jesus knew who He was and never judged Him self and knew
He was loved with out conditions by God His Father who is also now our Father.
If we're going to be radical;
we must know how the devil comes to steal, kill and destroy by messing with our mind to lay condemnation on God's kids
any way he can. Whether a child of God is ignorant or deliberately breaking God's laws; the one thing they have in common
is; they will never do the works of Jesus in the earth as obedient blood washed perfected saints that they became; the day
they had the miracle of salvation.
I personally believe that those who are ignorant
of what their righteous position in Christ represents; if they are earnestly recognizing their need for Christ and searching
for a higher wisdom then their own; they can still be helped through sound biblical teaching causing them to mature in Christ
Jesus because; they are flowing in Godly wisdom which is willing to listen to reason and they are teachable.
However; those that are God's children who are deliberately living in an ungodly life style as
long as they walk in deliberate disobedience; we are to not even sit down to break bread with them and they are to be cut
out of the fellowship and turned over to Satan for physical discipline to destroy canal lust so that their spirit may yet
be saved and that their soul may mature. There is some abominable sinful behavior going on in many of our born again churches
and the leadership will not or does not know how to deal with it.
We are talking
about people who are deliberately living in immorality, greed, idolatry, foul tongued slanders, drunkards and whose soulish
desires are devoted to any object that usurps or takes the place of God. To me this is a radical stand to take and it takes
a disciplined commitment to deal with this type of behavior. These people do not gather in Christ's name and welcome His
presence in lifting up the Lord in their gatherings.
This radical stand may seem
like an un loving act however; Paul talks about it in 1Corinthians and it is extremely serious and sad that there are those
in the body of Christ that can only come to the end of them self by worldly pain and demonic abuse because of their deviant
behavior.
I have never been able to understand my brothers and sisters who live
in these types of bondages and it deeply saddens me as I pray that they come to the end of them self and come to realize all
that Jesus did for us by laying down His life when we were yet in a sinner's condition and alienated from Him.
We now have the power and privilege to sit in heavenly places with Christ Jesus and enjoy His love
and affection being totally accepted. Being a spiritual radical is in complete opposition to all of man‘s reasoning
and the way he plans to find security in his own endeavors to find peace and prosperity. A born again child of God must if
it is their intent to do their Heavenly Father‘s will; know the difference between Godly wisdom verses the double minded
artificial methods of man in their ignorance and planned connivances in trying to get ahead with selfish and personal ambitions.
We as God‘s children live in the world under these evil persuasions but
we must be spiritually find honed so that we do not allow the world system to influence us to the point that we sell our born
again birth rite for man made accolades and become a god unto our self. Let's now look at some of the radical works and
statements that Jesus made when he walked the earth.
