Generated into Being.....

ref. J1:14-18

"The Word became flesh and tabernacled among us.
We observed His glory,
the glory as the One and Only Son, from the Father,
full of grace and truth." (HCSB)

"Indeed, every one of us has shared in His riches—
there is a Grace in our lives because of His Grace". (vs16 - Philips) 

"For the law was given by Moses, but grace and truth came by Jesus Christ."(KJV)


[i.e.  a man wanted rules to be justified by, but God (as a man) delivered Grace-Truth]

Therefore the law was not God’s Grace-Truth!

A NEW STATE came into being when Jesus generated Grace.
 
The greek verb translated “came” is ginomai 
pronounced ghin - om - ah- ee; ....[ ha hee !] 
it means: to generate into being.

John(= Graciousness of God) only uses this word twice in his book;
the other occasion, when Daddy God speaks audibly to the crowd (included Greeks)
"I have both glorified it (His Name), and will glorify it again."
Jesus answers the crowds' dismay with:
“This voice "came" not because of me, but for your sakes.”J12:30

The greek verb translated “given” is didomee; [did o' me !]
it has a meaning connected by: hand, strike, suffer.

The Law was handed under sufferance by Moses 
but GRACE-TRUTH WAS GENERATED INTO BEING by Jesus Christ.

GRACE is our COMPLETELY NEW STATE OF BEING in HIM. 
[wow ya yay]

Stop turning His Love Language into performance threats.

Recently i tweeted:
"Now is a good time to stop turning the Love Language of Jesus in N.T.
into demonic threats about our performance ------
*He is our Betrothed Husband and He Loves Us (far above human love)*"

If you find a N.T. scripture that threatens your New Nature,
you are experiencing it from the indoctrination of your dead nature.

Jesus is Absolutely Good and His Cascading Love never gives up on us.
Our wedding is a certainty, it is on!, no matter what you think about your performance.
Love and Trust Jesus, He is always more than you have been thinking.

Here are some affirming understandings from Steve Thompson:
When Jesus corrected his followers, he did it with non threatening body language.

Look at the use of the word "turned" in M16:23 and L9:55 .
"Peter took Jesus and rebuked Him."
(easy to picture the rebuker taking someone by the shoulders, yes?)
"But Jesus turned, and said to Peter ..."
He turned His back to Peter so the condemnation
was not aimed at Peter but the devil spirit.

Similarly in the James and John (sons of thunder) interaction.
The amped up performance before Jesus, "We'll call down fire".
"But Jesus turned, and rebuked them,
"You know not what manner of spirit you are of,
I am an enlivener not a destroyer"

[[even during the bad competitive argument of "who shall be greatest"
Jesus turns His attention to the little children.]]

Jesus would not allow His Face to be associated with any condemnation.

[[Jesus is happy with anything you realise in Him.]]

Danny Steyne - Revelatory Stream - (I really like listening to him).


"No Revelation in flesh and blood;
ONLY in the Revelatory Stream from Heaven.
It is Peter "tapping in" that excited Jesus when Peter answered:
"You are the Messiah".

Jesus healed ALL because
He heard His Father,
Loved this fallen people,
and "Saw" personal need."

"Jesus did nothing except by the Revelation of Daddy God and
the power of Holy Spirit.
When Jesus said "tell no one",
He wanted the Revelation to be most important,
rather than making an idol of the process or the person.
There are no idols in one on one teaching, healing, (etc),
only Revelation from the Word (= Jesus)."

"The "proceeding word" in 1C14:30
moves into a "revealed word" in the next one
who is prompted further in the revelation
which promotes the revelatory stream wherein we need to operate.
Revelation is always best.
Hear from His Spirit then move."

It is out of your inner most being (belly)
that the rivers of living water move from Heaven to Earth.
Listen for your revelation and fulfill the mantle Jesus gives you.
I will be a fool at all times because i know He uses foolish things, hahe.
One's mantle may be required anytime.
Kingdom never seems to happen at a "convenient" time.

"That which required faith yesterday becomes experience today.
Once you have have high dived into a tank of water,
our next faith step should be to high dive into an empty tank
and expect God to fill it up on the way down!!!"

"We are all able to heal.
In James5, the elders are not the healers, particularly.
They can be facilitators to people who need breakthrough in healing ability."

[Danny illustrates extensively by true stories. I haven't included these due to lack of recorded detail].

Graham Cooke - 1st time in Brisbane.




"Welcome, I'm a recovering pharisee,...
I haven't judged anyone for w years, x months, y days and z minutes!.......
This IS a pharisee's anonymous meeting, right? "

So starts the first of 4 sessions the hungry ones have with Graham.

He relates a dream given to him when his prophetic gift seemed very unappreciated and ineffectual.
*** An old man drove him around a city in an old and very uncomfortable car ...
as the old man drove, he would yell out the window a tirade of abuse against the defeated people he would see on the streets. (that dream was not, I thought, very helpful)
In the next dream had the same old man with a new car with a monochrome interior.
As he drove he pointed to the people and pointed out their sin but added we now have a program for each of their sin types. (that dream again was not helpful to my state of mind)
The next dream had a new driver, a new bright red car and a sat. nav. (before there were sat navs!).
The young man drives through a black and white world of people.
He shouts out through the window at these people.
He tells them who they are in the Kingdom, what is their true identity here and there.
They change from a glum black and white to a joyous full colour.****

Jesus is not concerned with our behaviours, He only wants us to know who we are in HIM.
Dream 1 : an attitude that focuses on the faults people need to clean up themselves.
Dream 2 : a helping focus on the faults that need to be cleaned up through problem management programmes.
Dream 3 : a focus on the NEW nature Jesus has totally changed us into.

Our old nature is absolutely crucified in Jesus who died as you on the cross.
You are dead to your old fallen nature and now DEDICATED to His NEW Nature in you.
It is not Jesus plus your old nature.
A focus on your dead nature only tries to raise it - which gets pretty weird!
It is not past/present old nature improvement.
It is identifying your present/future NEW nature in you right now.
There is nothing lacking about your New nature in Him.
We might need pastoral care to prophetically call out our new identity.
Just look what Sam started in Dave !
Dave takes the Goliath challenge because he believes what Sam spoke over him.
