GOD HAS DESTINED YOU FOR GREATNESS

God planned that through the death and resurrection that many sons... (God wanted a family, He wants children…)

God gave birth to His children, His creatures Adam and Eve by the breath that came out of His mouth. He created Himself in His own image… a family.

God planned that through the death and resurrection of His Son Jesus that many sons would be born, who would be the expressed image of their elder brother Jesus Christ as He is the expressed image of God.

Romans 8:29 for whom He did foreknow He also did predestinate to be conformed (say it together) to the image of His Son, that He Jesus might be the first born among many brethren.

It’s possible that by the Spirit of God that is placed within us, It is not possible by an exercise of man…

It’s not possible by a determination of our own will… But it is only possible by the Spirit of God, that God places within us that works His work that is changing us and bringing us into the manifestation where we are being changed into the image and into the likeness of God’s dear Son.

Romans 8:29 lets read it again. For whom He did foreknow he also did predestinate to be conformed ( this word conformed is a very unusual word it’s a little bit like this word doxa - all that God has and all that God is… the word conformed from the literal Greek means - to bring to the same outward expression as something else is. [ put it all together now ] for whom He did foreknow He also did predestinate to bring to the same outward expression as the image of His Son.

God planned for you to be brought to the same outward expression as Jesus exactly as He is now. Amen

1 John 4:17 As He is (Jesus) so are we in this world…

1 John 3:2 Now are we the sons of God, now… [On this earth. Not when we get to heaven. On this earth, now are we the sons of God. Not when we get to heaven and you think that some mystical transformation will take place, But as He is so are we IN THIS WORLD ON THIS EARTH!

GOD intends that the same glory radiate from your being … what glory? the same image of His Son whom He did foreknow, He also did predestined to be conformed to bring about the outward ( remember Christ was/is the visible) - we are not talking about something people cannot touch taste or see, we are in fact talking about something that people can touch taste see!

The word confirm again He predestined to conform us. He predestined to bring about- to bring it out of us- to get it out of us, the same outward expression of the image of His Son. He predestined us that we would manifest the Doxa!

It’s important to mention and to remember the devil does not want the church to know and understand this revelation, He is a liar and the father of lies just keep telling him. Devil you stay on your side of the line. Devil you are a liar.

Hebrews 2:9-10 But we see Jesus who was made a little lower then the angels for the suffering of death crowned with glory. [say together glory, say it doxa. Say it all that God has and all that God is.] We see Jesus who was crowned with this glory - all that God has and all that God is - crowned with glory and honor that He by the grace of God should taste death for every man for it became Him for whom are all things and by whom are all things and bringing many sons unto glory.

So many of us have read this scripture and we think of Jesus as our captain and our single file leader and we’re marching behind Him and we think of Him leading us to heaven… But it does not mean this at all, it doesn’t mean that He is leading us to heaven. It means that Jesus through His suffering and through His death is crowned with the GLORY OF GOD with all that God has and all that God was and all that God is- it became Him for whom are all things and by whom all things it behoved in bringing many sons He became the elder brother He became the first born now He’s bringing you and I not to heaven but He’s bringing you and I into the GLORY into the REVELATION into the MANIFESTATION of ALL THAT GOD HAS AND ALL THAT GOD IS!

HE’S LEADING US! HE’S TAKING US INTO THE REALM OF THE PRESENCE OF HIS FATHER BY HIS LIFE BY HIS DEATH BY HIS RESURRECTION!

Say aloud: I am being conformed by His Spirit- the very Life of God is flowing out of me as it flowed out of Jesus it is that life that heals the sick, that cast out devils, that sets the captives free. (16:59 )

Think of it like this: I am a human body carrying about in me The (Doxa) Glory of God (repeat)x3

Matthew 17: We are at the mount of transfiguration after 6 days Jesus takes Peter and James and John and His brother - in these verses something unusual something supernatural happened. Jesus remember is still in the form of His human flesh , but right before Peter, James and John His outward expression was changed...

Matthew 17:1-2 And they brought them up into a high mountain apart and was transfigured before them and His face did shine as the sun and His raiment was white as light...

Jesus was transfigured: the word transfigured is translated from the Greek and it means changed...

Jesus was the Son of God in a human body.

What was He carrying around? The Glory of God… (repeat) as He is, so are we. What are we carrying around in our human body? The Glory of God (the Doxa).

2 Corinthians 3:18 All of us as with unveiled face (because we continue to be whole) in the word of God as in a mirror the Glory the Doxa All that God is and all that God has...

How do we behold this? We behold it through the Word … its vitally important we receive the revelation of God’s word telling us we can get a hold of this key now.

Do you want to be changed into His Glory? Behold Him in His Word like a mirror …

You cannot get this by simply hearing this message, you have to get a revelation of the reality of the seeds being put into your spirit and when you go home into your everyday lives - put them into practice.

How is this going to happen? Do you want to be mirror image of God? Do you want to be a mirror image of Jesus?

All of us as with unveiled face, because we continue to be whole IN THE WORD OF GOD as a mirror the Glory of our Lord.

YOU GET INTO HIS WORD AND NOT WITH THE NEGATIVE THOUGHTS OF ALL THESE INDIVIDUALS WHO ARE GIVING ALL THESE GUILT TRIPS, WHO ARE LAYING ALL THIS HEAVY CONDEMNATION ON YOU, YOU BEGIN TO SEE GOD IN ALL OF HIS GLORY AND ALL OF HIS POWER AND ALL OF HIS MAJESTY AND ALL OF HIS MIGHT AND ALL OF HIS GREATNESS AND YOURE SOON GOING TO BE WALKING AROUND MANIFESTING IN YOUR BODY THE GLORY THE MIGHT THE POWER OF THE GOD THAT YOU’VE SEEN! (24:19)

All of us with unveiled face because we continue to be whole… (it not only comes from beholding His glory in the word what you see of Him… how you see Him, but IT also comes from deep prayer, fellowship and communion with Him… they go together The Word and Prayer, The Word and Fellowship, The Word and Communion You cannot separate them.) … in the Word of God as in a mirror the Glory of the Lord and constantly being transfigured 2 Corinthians 3:18 .

We’re constantly being changed… we’re constantly experiencing God bring the outward expression of something that’s been planted in our Being. And it’s God’s Will to mature it.

We are constantly being transfigured into His own image in ever increasing splendor from one degree of glory to another for this comes from the Lord who is The Spirit.

This transformation accomplished not by our limited human efforts, but by His Spirit that dwells in us… we’ve got to stop our struggling… Don’t struggle… Jesus has already paid the price just receive it and lift your hands up in the beauty of the experience and thank Him for the work that He’d done.

It is there all the time we just have to be reminded of it.

God doesn’t want us to try and be the visible representation of Christ, you can’t do it in your own strength, He doesn’t intend for us to struggle to follow Christ ‘s example. He doesn’t intend for us to struggle to think like Jesus thought, to walk like Jesus walked, to talk like Jesus talked. In our own power it’s absolutely impossible, but it is possible through -the -powerful -Life. (I repeat) It is possible through the powerful Life that has been put inside us.

stretch your hand out to the Father (say together) the God that I serve is a God of plan, He is a God of purpose, He is a God of design, He is a God of objectivity and God,” I am a part of your end time plan and You have not planned any defeats for me.” God has not planned any defeats for you, for your family circumstances or your nations to overcome you but for you to overcome the environment of your relationships, nation your country and the heathenism that represents itself in your nation. God has planned for you to overcome and take those kingdoms for Him now.

Do we have any idea why Paul could go through the trials the circumstances the prisons the beatings the shipwrecks the stonings and yet not be defeated?

We can see a weakened state amongst God’s people when we hear our brothers and sisters when greeting them ,”how are you?” and surprisingly we receive answers like well I’m not to good, or just getting by or hanging in there… Is it any wonder why we haven’t taken the world (w/milk toast Christianity)? Jesus did not take the keys to the kingdom with Him He left them here.

Paul could look at all of his circumstances 2 Corinthians 4 Paul says,” we are troubled on all sides yet not distressed. (33:57)

We are troubled on every side yet not distressed… He (Paul) faced the devil from a position of what? KNOWING… We are distressed on every side yet not troubled!

We are perplexed yet not in despair. Our confusion will become the devils confusion. Perplexed but not in despair, persecuted but not forsaken. . . Cast down but not destroyed. Always baring about in the body the dying of the Lord Jesus, so that in our bodies it may also be clearly shown that Jesus lives.

There is a life of Jesus that we may have this transfiguration, this work of conforming bring out in us that character, that the life of Jesus might be made manifest (where) in heaven (where) tomorrow (where) Now on earth! (where) in our bodies!

V16 For which cause we faint not though our outward man perish, yet the inward man is renewed…

V17 For our lite affliction which is for a moment worketh for us a far more exceeding eternal weight of glory … what is all this doing? it is transfiguring us, its conforming us, its bring the expression out of us of something which inside of us All the Glory that God has and all that He is these things are working for us a far more weight of Glory!

Don’t get discouraged by the devils lies, you keep him on his side of the line! GOD’S AT WORK AND HE IS AT WORK IN YOU ! GLORY !

V6 For God who commanded the Light to shine out of darkness (prayer: the God that created the heavens and the earth, the God that spoke the worlds into existence, the God that said let there be Light and there was light) hath shined in our hearts to give the light of the knowledge of the Doxa of God. To give the Light of the knowledge of all that God has and all that God is (where) in the face of Jesus Christ - we behold Him who is the first born as the expressed image of God and as we reflect on the Glory of God we behold all that God is all that God has in the very image of Jesus Christ.

V7 And we have this Treasure. We have this Treasure - we got this Glory! We have this Treasure in earthen vessels! JESUS
