I heard a song yesterday with a line that caught my attention. The singer said, The world is lost in darkness while the Church is asleep in light. I beg to differ. Darkness is simply light that is not turned on. The world surely is asleep in darkness but not lost. John 3:16 read, "For God so loved the world that he gave his only son that whosoever believes should not perish but have life aenion." The salvation of the world was made sure by Jesus Christ and does not depend upon man. Genesis 2:21 say, "And the Lord God caused a deep sleep to fall upon Adam and he slept." Man was created in the likeness and image of God. The term man is Aw-Dawm in the Hebrew and means mankind. Adam speaks of all mankind. So the truth here is Adam is sleeping and the whole world is dreaming, but they are hearing the voice of the father and are waking up to their true identity. It is not just the Church that is asleep but all of creation. The kicker here is they are asleep in the light. Wow!!!!! Can you see it? God is light and in him is no darkness, as he is so are we in him. David in the book of Psalm said, "The darkness and the light are both alike to him." He that is joined to the Lord is one spirit and the spirit or breath of God is in the nostrils of every man. Since God is light and everyman is in God and God is in every man, man is asleep in the light. But the sleep state man is in he is unconscious of the light of God in him, but when he awakes he shall be in his likeness and image.

Creation is waking up to the sound of the father's voice, be it in Passover, Pentecost or Tabernacles. Some believe today that man has to come through the entire three feasts in order to come to the reality of the indwelling Christ but I beg to differ. Before you stone me hear me out. I have seen in Revivals so many who did not accept Jesus as Savior had an instant experience of the feast of Pentecost and began to speak with tongues as the spirit gave them utterance. I have seen those who also accepted him as Savior never experience the feast of Pentecost or spoke with tongues but when the word of life was spoken in the third realm they heard the voice of the father say, Come up higher my child and they are following on to know him in a greater understanding. Even so many are hearing the voice of the father resonating within them to follow him and they don't need an experience of Pentecost or Passover for a witness to the reality of the Christ, because they came to the reality of their being one with the father. These are the sons that are birth in Zion. Today we see the father calling the light out of darkness as man awakes to his true identity.

The point is wherever mankind wakes up it is the father who is calling, wooing and drawing them. We must understand that the law must be fulfilled in them then the seed will come. Until such time they are under governors and tutors which is ordained by the hand of the father. They are where they should be because it is the father who sees it fit to put each member exactly where it ought to be. Galileo once said, "we cannot teach anything to man you can only help him to find it within himself." How true of us today we are not trying to teach something new to you, we are simply drawing your attention to what is already inside of you. The truth about man's origin and identity is etched in him and cannot be taught to him this must come by way of revelation.

We need to come to the realization that who we are is enough. Adam thought he needed something more that he did not already have in Christ. As a result of this thinking all of humanity fell into a deathlike state and man woke up in a realm of total darkness not knowing who he is or where he came from.

And so Paul said, Awake thou that sleepest and Christ shall give you light. The sleeper within man is beginning to stir. The light is beginning to shine in creation as the knowledge of our true identity falls over us.

In the story of Joseph who is a type of Christ imprisoned Simeon whose name means "hearing." The father imprisoned the hearing of all mankind until Benjamin (type of creation) comes to the place or state where he once was in the likeness and image of God. When Benjamin comes to the true state of his reality the father is all in all. We all had the silver cup in our bag (life); it was placed there by the father himself. Creation did not ask for this cup, it was given to us. We were created in Christ Jesus from the foundation of the world and it is the father good pleasure to give us the kingdom. Our Joseph drank of this cup for all humanity. He tasted death for all men even while we were in him. We are not the chosen frozen, us four and no more; God is dealing with all men at one time. He chose us in him; we all died in him, we all rose in him and we all are seated in him. This should take care of any individualism we may have about our self. The kingdom of God is within everyman.

The father is calling his creation as they pass from death to life walking forth in their true identity which is Christ. I am blessed by this powerful truth as I see the plan of God written upon the lives of all humanity. Paul said, All shall know me from the least to the greatest. We are beholding the greatest season since the creation of man as he is awaken to his true identity and is beholding himself face to face in the looking glass of others.

In closing we are all together growing up into him, each of us at a different stage in our development, yet they without us cannot be made perfect. Let us view humanity not with the jaundice eyes of the carnal mind but with eyes of love as the Christ in us meets the Christ in them.

Namaste,
