Predestination is one of the most misunderstood concepts in theology. Often perceived as a deterministic doctrine, it’s crucial to see it not as a limitation of free will but as an expression of God’s omniscient wisdom and unconditional love. Before the foundation of the world, God intimately knew you and had a glorious purpose for your life. This purpose is like a divine signature etched on your soul, guiding you toward a destiny that transcends time and circumstance. Understanding predestination doesn’t mean abandoning personal responsibility or resigning yourself to fate. Instead, it offers a framework through which to view your life as purpose-driven, empowered by God’s eternal perspective. Every decision, every path, and even every challenge you encounter are opportunities to align yourself with this divine purpose, allowing you to live from a place of peace, fulfilment, and spiritual abundance.
Through Him we are more than conquerors! Romans 8:37. In Jesus, we are empowered to tread and overcome in every realm and dimension of creation – spiritual and physical. In Him, we are sons. We have the authority to restore creation back to its original estate. This is what sons are about. Creation is waiting for sons to realise that mandate and walk in it.
Set yourself on eternal things, not on worldly stuff. Cuz you’re dead to this world, and you’re hidden with Christ in God. – Colossians 3:2,3. As you’re living in the Spirit, walk in the Spirit also. – Galatians 5:25. The Father, in his infinite love and manifest wisdom, put us in Jesus in order to save us. Jesus is our salvation. He’s not some external entity working in conjunction with humanity, independent of creation. Creation was made for and through Jesus – in Him and by Him. He is everything. The Father put everything in His Son. Creation is held together by Him. Colossians 1:16,17.
Anyone who’s in Jesus is one spirit with Him. – 1Corinthians 6:17. He is in oneness with us. Oneness with Jesus, by the Spirit is: Eternal Life. Reconciliation to the Father. Access to and relationship with the Father. Relationship and intimacy with Jesus. Revelation of the person of God. The mind of Christ. Revelation of the mysteries of Heaven. Access to and habitation of the Spirit realm. Dominion over the earth.
Living in the Spirit is about consciously living by the leading of the Spirit – it’s about living in the knowledge that you’re in Him and He’s in you. It’s about resting in Him. It’s about letting Him be the source of information, direction, relationship, giftings, etc. Being born again is when the Spirit becomes one with you through the Word you received. Unless you are born of Water and Spirit, you cannot enter the kingdom of God. The Spirit is Life – abundance of Life! He is Eternal Life. We received eternal life when we believed Jesus.
When you consciously inhabit the Spirit of God, you learn to rest in the reality that He will always place you where you need to be, when you need to be there. Because you are one with the Spirit of Jesus, and have the mind of Christ, you live in union with His will. Living in the Spirit is about intimacy with the Father and Jesus. Your time with Him enriches your relationship and you begin to see Him as He is. Revelation begins to unfold.
Intercessory Prayer is not a desperate call to God for action! It’s a proclamation of God’s perfect will into manifestation, to a physical world. It’s the pronouncement of God’s will, by sons, in union with the Spirit, that manifests spiritual realities. Sons inhabit the Spirit – in the state of existence where all things are perfect and complete. From that state of being, we declare what must take place in the physical realm!
The Head supplies information to the body. It is the source. The head and the body function together. Jesus is our Head. He the supply of all revelation. We function by the mind of Christ. The body is knit together by the Spirit to perform and function according to the will of the Head. Praise God that Jesus lives and breathes the will of the Father. Through Him we are the perfect will of the Father. You are complete in Him. He is the perfect Head.
But the Helper, the Holy Spirit, whom the Father will send in My name, He will teach you all things, and bring to your remembrance all that I said to you. Peace I leave with you; My peace I give to you; not as the world gives do I give to you. Do not let your heart be troubled, nor let it be fearful. – John 14:26-27. But he who is joined to the Lord is one spirit with Him. – 1 Corinthians 6:17. You are one with the Jesus. You are in the Father. You are one with All of God.
Our very existence is in the Father. He is our world. Imagine the very fabric of your existence woven in Him. You are hidden with Jesus, IN the Father. He is the air you breathe. You are made of Him. Your mind is the mind of Jesus. Your life is the Spirit. You live in a perfect world. Now let the reality of your world manifest into this physical realm.
You are Complete in Him.
Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who according to His great mercy has caused us to be born again to a living hope through the resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead. – 1 Peter 1:3. Hope for the New Man is not of uncertainty. It’s an assurance of the promises of a loving Father. Sons don’t hope for something that has no definite outcome. Our hope is founded on the finished work of Jesus on the cross.
Now we have received, not the spirit of the world, but the Spirit who is from God, so that we may know the things freely given to us by God – 1Corinthians 2:12. Being one with the Spirit, gives us access to His mind – the mind of Christ. Every mystery that was hidden from fallen man is now revealed to the sons of God through Jesus. The New Man has been given to experience the Heart of God and His eternal plans through the Spirit. Jesus knows everything about the Father… and through Him we get access into the deep recesses of His heart. Through Oneness we get to experience the Godhead.
People worry about what the future may bring. This worry brings insecurity and causes people to act on it. People spend all their time preparing for this ‘uncertain’ future while compromising and sacrificing their present joy and peace. You don’t need to prepare for your future. This is not to say that you shouldn’t save up finances. Our savings are not our security. Jesus is! Be led by the Spirit. Your Father who has blessed your today is also in your future. He is the One who has provided for you today and will be there to provide for you all your life.
He that is joined to the Lord is One Spirit – 1Corinthians 6:17. The New Man is in absolute oneness with the Father, through Jesus… its inherent! We have the mind of Christ through this oneness. We think and experience the Father through it. By the Spirit within we walk in the will of the Father and manifest all His desires. He lives through us. We experience Eternal Life and Glory by Jesus… we’re IN Him.
The New Man has a new heart and a new Spirit… The New heart is not the old deceitful heart of the old man. It is the heart of Jesus that runs after the Father. It is the heart that yearns for more of the Father. After being born again our desires have changed. No more do we desire the dead things of the world. Physical habits may cause worldly things to still look attractive and lucrative, but in our hearts we know we don’t desire it.
The Book of Jude tells us to ‘keep ourselves in the Love of God…’ God’s love assures us of His ever-abounding fulness in our life. He is always for us. He is not the hide-and-go-seek kind of father. He said that He will never leave us nor forsake us. if we realise and experience the kind of love He has for us, we will realise that He is never more than a heartbeat away from us. We are his heartbeat! We are so loved by Him, every thought in His mind is about us.
The New Man is predominately spiritual, just as Adam was before the fall. He wasn’t as conscious of the physical realm as he was of his spiritual nature. That’s is why he could see and hear God. He even heard the footsteps of God walking up to him in the garden after he fell. Adam was more aware of his dominion before he fell, than after his eyes opened to the guilt of disobedience. Today, we are one with the Spirit of God. We have been restored to a greater place of authority than before the fall of man. We have been made one with Jesus – He is Life.
The Rest of God is the state of existence in which you exercise more faith than when you’re trying to do so consciously. It is the place in which the Spirit is constantly working out God’s plan through you. In the beginning, God spoke things into creation, on the seventh day He rested, and even until today creation is held together by His Spirit, without Him having to repeat Himself to sustain it. For he that is entered into His rest, he also hath ceased from his own works, as God did from His. – Hebrews 4:10 (KJV) For he that is entered into his rest, he also hath ceased from his own works, as God did from his.
Romans 8:38-39 (KJV) For I am persuaded, that neither death, nor life, nor angels, nor principalities, nor powers, nor things present, nor things to come, 39 Nor height, nor depth, nor any other creature, shall be able to separate us from the love of God, which is in Christ Jesus our Lord. We can only truly love God with His kind of Love, if we have experienced His love first. His love is not an emotional love. It may evoke emotions in us when we experience Him, but it’s not emotional when He pours it out. Emotions are a human response.
You cannot be any more like Jesus than you are now. You are exactly as He is… He destroyed all imperfections, weakness and flaws at the cross. He became our inadequacies so we could be complete. You are perfect in everything. You are flawless, whole, indestructible. You are one with the Spirit of Life. You are soaking abundant Life. There is no deterioration or decay of any form in Abundant Life.
We are hidden with Christ IN the Father. We emanate Spiritual life to the physical world around us. This glorious manifestation takes place when we are consciously inhabiting the Father. He is the source of life. He is life. The fallen world is in need of repair, restoration and reconciliation. We are portals of God’s glory to this dying world. We are the connection between the Spiritual and physical realms. Sons are life-giving spirits. We exude life wherever we go. It’s in our being. It’s the overflow of relationship with the Father that causes this Life to manifest.
The Purpose of Life is relationship with the Father. In that relationship, life finds its meaning. Jesus understood that as He lived and walked the earth. His life and ministry was a product of His relationship with the Father. Jesus came to reconcile us back to the Father and restore the relationship that Adam lost. Life is not primarily about performance and accomplishments, although these are by-products of a healthy relationship with Jesus. We are given a spiritual nature that yearns for eternal revelation – this revelation is the Father.
If you’re born-again, you are IN eternal life. You’re not going to ‘get’ eternal life, or ‘enter’ into it. You are IN Him. He is Life. You cannot have any more life than you do now. You are One with Him. He is One with you. Life is not a journey of ‘surviving’ this world or going through the motions. It’s not about doing your thing until one fine day you ‘graduate’ to heaven. Life is about experiencing the heart of the Father and seeing Him for all that He is. It’s about experiencing Him. It’s about ‘knowing’ Him in a living, personal relationship as a son. It’s about knowing Jesus the perfect Son and Lord.
As sons, we have the Spirit of sonship because of whom we can call God, Father. Experiencing the reality of Jesus, the person, in a tangible living relationship is why we can manifest Him confidently. Jesus lives in and through us. Our mind is His mind. Our heart is really His heart. We know the Father through the Spirit of Jesus. He gives us that revelation of true relationship. We can experience that relationship through His heart and mind.
Jesus’ body was broken and bruised for our perfect physical health. It’s for perfect health today – not later – not after we pass from this world. It’s for abundance physical life now.
Our Eternal Life has begun. It is not a future event! The bread we partake of, is a remembrance of our oneness with Him as His body was bruised for healing. He suffered physically so we should not. He suffered our sickness and infirmity. We were in Him when He was bruised and crucified. He went through all that He did as us!
Most Christians unconsciously live a life of ‘spiritual separation anxiety,’ if such a condition exists. It’s like calling out to a distant God, hoping He hears you. This is religion all over again — a one-sided relationship, in the ‘born-again culture.’ You know God is out there, but you never really hear Him. You keep wondering how long is it going to take before God actually says or does something.
He has created you out of a part of Himself. You’re made of Him. He is one with you. You are living your life as a part of Him with capabilities of making your own decisions and living your own lifestyle — all from within Him. That’s the beauty of creation.
You always have a free choice to do whatever you want — a free will, if you will. However, the Father’s plan is altogether different. I’m sure you’ll agree with me when I say that His plans were, are and will always be absolutely perfect! He put everything in His Son. He created everything for Jesus. He designed and created everything to be held together in Jesus. That includes you, me and all of creation.
The bible was written by men. It was the experiences of men who spent their lives in relationship with God. It is written to show us what God does, not to reveal who He is. The revelation of Him comes through an intimate, personal relationship. He is a person. He reveals Himself through His Holy Spirit in us. You are one with God. You are so one with Him that whatever He does, He does through you. You are a portal that unleashes an eternal reality into this physical world.
Life is about being aware of Him. It takes absolutely NO effort on your part to make yourself aware of Him. He creates that awareness for you. Every time your mind takes you to Him, or you find yourself thinking of God, its Him making you aware. Your response will be to enjoy Him and live Him. This awareness is the experience of the reality of eternity — the experience of the reality of the Father as lived by Jesus. He is making you aware of the Father.
