The message that the father is bringing us today is God has reconciled all things to himself. This message has been misunderstood, for many consider it to be limited to the salvation of all men. However it must be viewed as a complete work of grace that deals with the sense of duality that has plagued the life of all men. Reconciliation is a message of life, hope, peace and love to a groaning creation. 2 Corinthians 5:17 old things have passed away and all things are become new. The old things are things from Adam. Not only are we reconciled but we were given the message of reconciliation. Paul tells us, God was in Christ reconciling the world unto himself. The father has put the word of reconciliation in us. So it is more than just reconciling the world to God. Paul said be you reconciled to God, that is the conciliation.

Reconciliation means to add, to balance or make complete. Atonement carries much the same thought. The good news is God has reconciled us to himself, not only us but the world, even though they have not all wakened up to that fact yet. Thank God we are waking up to our true reality. We live in a world of opposites, light and darkness, good and evil, sickness and health etc. Romans 8:14 tells us for as many as are led by the Spirit of God; they are the sons of God. We must be reconciled within our selves before the father can reconcile us to himself. This is so because there are no opposites in God. There are no opposites or conflicts in the realm of the Spirit. Just as there are no two powers working in the universe. How could the father reconcile us to himself if there remains some power out there that challenges his authority? There is no flesh versus Spirit in the kingdom of God. The Kingdom of God is righteousness, peace, and joy in the Holy Ghost. The kingdom of God is under his rule and control.

All our conflicts and opposites come to us in this physical life. Galatians 6:14 say But God forbid that I should glory, save in the cross of our Lord Jesus Christ, by whom the world is crucified unto me and I unto the world. By him the world is crucified unto us. Reconciliation was made in Jesus Christ (2 Cor.5:17). So our life is no longer centered in our natural birth from which all conflicts results but in Christ Jesus. Paul sums it up beautifully, If any man be in Christ (realizing he died as me, carrying me through burial and into resurrection life) he is a new creature, whose identity and life is Christ. This was accomplished through the cross. The cross speaks to us of a spiritual experience rather than an Easter story written in the pages of history. The cross of Christ dealt with our mistake in identity and influence. Self has no existence in reality.

When we come to the cross we must die. If you died the world of opposites and conflicts died also. We have nothing to do with changing or improving this world because we do not live in it. We live in the kingdom within which is ruled and governed by the law of life. Outside of reconciliation we will always see God is in me, the kingdom is in me etc. I am one thing and God is another. Now because we are now alive in Christ they no longer exists, because the person we thought we were, died and so did the life that we once lived. Reconciliation balances the book, and when this happens we will know that the father and I are one and there is no separation, no conflicts and no opposites. Despite this truth, so many continue to live a war zone within themselves, facing conflicts on every side. Even Paul found that when he want to do good, evil is present to overcome his desire to do good, but he found the answer in the reconciling of all things in himself to God when he said, O wretched man that I am, who shall deliver me from this body of death, which lives in constant conflict. Immediately the answer came, I thank God the answer is in Jesus Christ.

Romans 5:10 Paul says, Even while we were yet sinners, God reconciled us to himself through the cross. This change took place in our relationship to God and not the other way around. God has never needed to be reconciled to man, for he has always considered us as we were created and chosen in Christ Jesus. Now if we have not dealt with the problem of good and evil, light and darkness, sickness and health then we really have not yet experience the reality of being reconciled within ourselves. Reconciliation must be expressed as that part of us that has been brought into harmony with Christ, enabling us to express and manifest all that he is.

May the light of his glorious gospel continue to shine in your hearts until all that he is you are.

Namaste,
