A letter to a friend who asked me of my beliefs.

Greetings in the LORD,

You seem to have an easy time with the keyboard. The hunt and peck system that I use is getting better and the words that even the spell check can't find are becoming fewer. I guess a 62-year young man should learn.

I can tell that you are not new to the scripture but was saddened to read that you believe [We cannot know the mind of God]. Is 55:8-9. The very thing that God was in Christ making possible. If we see ourselves as in the old man [first Adam] and do not know who we are in Christ

We cannot. BUT the GOOD NEWS is that our first husband has died. That person that we tend to think is us but now become aware that it is not the true me as God sees me. The true me was created in the beginning before the creation of the world. Adam died or lost the awareness of who he was before by becoming blinded to that spirit life that was within him. He wanted to be like God and was going to get that way by eating of the tree of knowledge of good and evil. Both the good and the evil upon that tree is not a way to LIFE. By taking this Tree or the fruit on it we are apart from God and lose the reality of Him being the very life that is us. All the people that search the scripture because they think that in them they have life are eating from that tree. If we are looking for Him it is because we are being dragged into Him by Him. His higher life is coming into our unresponsive spirit life and awakening it into an awareness of our true self.

Please hear my heart as it wants to share with you who you really are in Gods' eyes or perspective. You were there In God in the beginning. You lost that awareness in the first Adam. The second Adam has taken you into him by way of the cross until all that was given to him by God [Which is everything] is completed and manifested as finished by being brought into the Christ. At this, Christ will with All, be brought back into The God of All. 1 cor. 15:21-28.

From Gods' perspective you have been and are that spirit man made alive and in CHRIST Jesus. It is no longer you who live but the Christed life in you is the true person that you are. Gal 2:20. Rom 8:9, You are that Spirit man and he is becoming revived from the lie that was hiding him. That old nature is becoming dead and unresponsive as our true self awakens.

We are Spirit, soul and body. The body is neuter and the battle is whom does it belong to? The soul [mind, will, emotion] or the spirit?

Like a body at a funeral was our spirit and now may our old nature be dead and unresponsive.

He is the source of your new awareness of that life that is the true you. Truly you have been crucified with Christ and it is no longer you as that old self who lives. You have God living right there inside of you and Christ is setting right there at his right hand. You are His temple and He is at home in you. 1 Cor 3:16. Ep,1:9 He has made known to us in all wisdom and insight the secrets of his Will. Ep,2:1 And YOU, He, made alive. Out from that defect that you were born with in the First Adam. God is now dragging you into Him for His Holy name sake to save His reputation. Ex36:21--[Good reading]. Jesus IS the Gate and way into the kingdom [[kings domain] that IS within you. Dirt cannot become a vegetable on it's own power, and a plant cannot become an animal on it's own, a sheep cannot become a human on it's own , a human cannot become a spirit being on it's own, . The higher life form must take it in and transform it into it's being. Your and my mission is to take the life that is alive in us and plant the seed of it from experiencing the reality and power that is in the Death, Burial and Resurrection of Jesus Christ. The whole creation is waiting for we the body portion of Christ to do and Be Him in this world and on this earth. He is that light that is under us the bushel. You are that treasure that is found in the field that God goes and sells All He has and purchase YOU. Don't depend on your mind to hear God's voice while HE desires to fellowship with you face to face as you get to know that still quiet voice that bides you to 'hear my voice for you today'. I want you to experience me.

I am here and stop looking for me out there. You may know much of this but a new slant on it is sometimes helpful. Besides I love to tell it.

In God's love,

Jim Phillips
