Absolute

"Though there are many denominations, our Savior unites us. Though doctrines may differ, His death and Resurrection is absolute."

THE STRONGEST SCIENTIFIC ELEMENTS are the purest. In Nebuchadnezzar’s dream, the further down the statue he gazed, the less pure the metals became until the feet were iron and clay. In Daniel’s interpretation, this meant each government which would follow his would be weaker until it could no longer stand. The scientific elements themselves are concrete and cannot be added to or taken away from, meaning what God has created is as He created it. Although combinations of them are completed by those in science, each is the structure God intended. Even that which was manmade was known by Him before the creation of the world and contains structures He created.

Reflecting this on government, our unity is made of different cultures and beliefs but is bonded by our love for country. Dissension and condemnation always tear it apart. Whereas unity is absolute, a purity created by God, strife and hatred and variance are like the feet in Nebuchadnezzar’s dream, a foundation easily crumbled. This is always the case in any organization. Applying it to the church, though there are many denominations, our Savior unites us. Though doctrines may differ, His death and Resurrection is absolute. There is no altering of its truth. Mix in any outside element, and it becomes weakened by lies and debates.

God is love, and His love is love in its purest form, untwisted by opinions and rewritten rules of gender or marriage. The purpose of love is our salvation. It is so that all men can be loved by their Creator, and so willing was He to share of the purity of Himself in love that He would sacrifice Himself. Jesus, the Christ, the Messiah, was spirit for all time, but He chose to take on human flesh, knowing He would forever be human. He is raised from death and has a glorified body. The Holy Spirit, who is our firstfruits of God’s inheritance, inhabits our spirit man upon salvation. He is in us for all eternity. But upon the redemption of our physical body, He will inhabit our flesh as well.

In this, there will be no more death, for He cannot be killed. He is eternally alive. He is eternally holy. He is holiness in its purest form. Though He inhabits us on the earth, where there is much death and decay, for our body to enter into the fullness of His presence is impossible without the shed blood of Christ. Jesus made it possible for the God of the temple, who was held behind the veil, where only the High Priest could enter after sacrifice, to become one with us without walls and animal sacrifice.

We are made holy because of Jesus’ death and Resurrection. His death is important, but His Resurrection is the victory. In that He laid down His life, His body died, but His spirit lived. For the Spirit of God, who anointed Him as Christ brought Him back to life. Hear the words of Galatians 2:20, “I am crucified with Christ: nevertheless I live, yet not I, but Christ liveth in me.” The Remedy translation puts it this way: “The old me who lived for self … died … That old me no longer lives, but Christ—with his character of self-sacrificing love—now lives in me.” Jesus’ “old me” died and now He lives because of the Resurrecting power of God. Now, our “old me” has died and the love of God, displayed in Jesus’ blood, gives us His life.

There is no adulterating the power of God. The enemy, the devil, works on our mind and our flesh to cause us to fall away from God’s truth, but because we are now children of God, the Spirit of God in us remains in His purest form. There is no mixing Him with human wisdom and understanding to gain greater knowledge. He is all knowledge. He cannot be corrupted. It is, instead, that we are made clean and can approach Him now boldly. It is that He can work in us the will of God and work through us the gifts of God. As Jesus was a man, living in the flesh, who operated in the power of the Spirit to go and do everything He went to do, we are filled with Christ – with Jesus and the Spirit of God. Jesus had Him without measure. We have Him in a measure. But that measure in us will do everything God desires. This is absolute.

I had a vision a number of years ago and saw the Father from the neck down holding what was explained to me as the future. All of it. This took me by surprise because the object was about 2’x4’. God does not have to “look into the future.” He is the future. He holds it all in His hands, and its ending has already been written. Made final. Death will not be any longer, and we will live with Him forever. Our interpretation of the book of Revelation is incorrect in many forms. Some take it one way, and some another. But the last word of the last chapter stands up to us today. “AMEN.” So be it.

The God of the beginning is the God of the ending. He who spoke the Word has the final word, and that word is absolute truth. His truth is the only truth. Truth in its purest form is found in Him. And to think that we, who falter in our own footsteps, are privileged to spend eternity in His presence, and that He who is so powerful is also so loving and thought nothing more of His death than it was done, and we were His benefit. Not as a ruler, waving His hands over those crushed beneath His palm, but as gems held in His palm, each one worth the light He shines into them.

The purest light, from the purest holiness, from absolute goodness and the entirety of wisdom, has placed His words in our mouths and His power in our fingertips, to lay hands on the sick and see them to recover. To change lives. There is no match for that. Nor now that His work is completed, any fear of the enemy attached to it. Though that stupid fathead may try, His goose is cooked already, and we sit in heavenly places with Christ, in complete triumph. All of heaven is ours, where there is absolute joy, and that joy has come to earth in the will of Him who exudes it, all that He is, ours for all the ages to come.

“These things saith the Amen, the faithful and true witness, the beginning of the creation of God.” (Revelation 3:14)

“These shall make war with the Lamb, and the Lamb shall overcome them: for he is Lord of lords, and King of kings: and they that are with him are called, and chosen, and faithful.” (Revelation 17:14)
