Our Innocence Restored

We need to speak from the Heavenly realm, not the worldly realm.  Our words are meant to encourage, not discourage those around us.  Our words should produce life as they enter the hearts of those who have ears to hear.  We should not speak forth the opinions of man but rather speak the Oracles of GOD where Truth resides.

Paul wrote by The Holy Spirit in Colossians chapter 1:

15 Jesus is the Divine portrait, the true likeness of the invisible God, and the firstborn heir of all creation.

What does “all creation” include?  It includes every living thing, persons, and unborn children, without exception.  Paul provides further explanation of what all means:

16 For in Him was created the universe of things, both in the Heavenly realm and on the earth, all that is seen and all that is unseen. Every seat of power, realm of government, principality, and authority—it all exists through Him and for His purpose! 17 He existed before anything was made, and now everything finds completion in Him.

Jesus is making the decisions about our lives, not the government.  Jesus was not enslaved by Rome or the Pharisees.  They were powerless to quench the Divine Intent of FATHER and the plan of salvation.

If He is the firstborn, then what about those of us who are also Sons and Daughters of FATHER?  Jesus made us heirs as well thus we have FATHER’S authority over the earth and its contents.  Everything exists for His Purpose and nothing else.  Man can temporarily circumvent FATHER’S Divine Intent but in the end, FATHER’S purpose will be manifest on earth as we overcome the enemy and establish HIS Kingdom here on the earth.  Our power and authority exists solely because of Jesus Christ Who now sits on the Throne.  No one else has any true power or authority outside of His.

18 He is the Head of His Body, which is the true church (the called-out ones). And since He is the beginning and the firstborn heir in resurrection, He is the most exalted One, holding first place in everything. 19 For God is satisfied to have all HIS fullness dwelling in Christ. 20 And by the blood of His cross, everything in heaven and earth is brought back to Himself—back to its original intent (including you and me), restored to innocence again!

The called-out ones are the ones who are Holy and truly separate from the world.  Peter wrote by The Holy Spirit in 1st Peter chapter 1:

14 As God’s obedient children, never again shape your lives by the desires that you followed when you didn’t know better. 15 Instead, shape your lives to become like the Holy One Who called you. 16 For Scripture says:

“You are to be Holy, because I am Holy.”

17 Since you call on HIM as your Heavenly Father, the impartial Judge who judges according to each one’s works, live each day with holy awe and reverence throughout your time on earth. 18 For you know that your lives were ransomed once and for all from the empty and futile way of life handed down from generation to generation. It was not a ransom payment of silver and gold, which eventually perishes, 19 but the precious Blood of Christ—who like a spotless, unblemished lamb was sacrificed for us.

20 This was part of God’s plan, for He was chosen and destined for this before the foundation of the earth was laid, but He has been made manifest in these last days for you. 21 It is through Him that you now believe in God, WHO raised Him from the dead and glorified Him, so that you would fasten your faith and hope in God alone.

The “church” is not comprised of a building or a group of people attending on Sunday mornings.  It is comprised of those who pursue Holiness and have separated themselves from the world and its trappings.  We are to walk in Agape Love toward others and maintain the purity of our souls.

22 Now, because of your obedience to the Truth, you have purified your very souls, and this empowers you to be full of Love for your fellow believers. So express this sincere Love toward one another passionately and with a pure heart.

FATHER has restored our innocence through the power and authority of the Blood of Christ.  We are no longer guilty therefore we should not be reluctant to enter the Secret Place and spend time with FATHER. (Psalm 91)

Paul wrote by The Holy Spirit in 2nd Corinthians chapter 6:

14 Don’t continue to team up with unbelievers in mismatched alliances, for what partnership is there between righteousness and rebellion? Who could mingle light with darkness? 15 What harmony can there be between Christ and Satan? Or what does a believer have in common with an unbeliever? 16 What friendship does God’s temple have with demons? For indeed, we are the Temple of the living God, just as God has said:

I will make MY Home in them and walk among them.

I will be their God, and they will be My people.

17 For this reason,

Come out from among them and be separate,” says the Lord.

“Touch nothing that is unclean, and I will embrace you.

18 I will be a true Father to you,

    and you will be MY beloved Sons and Daughters,”

    says the Lord Yahweh Almighty.

Paul continues by The Holy Spirit in Colossians chapter 1:

21–22 Even though you were once distant from Him, living in the shadows of your evil thoughts and actions, He reconnected you back to Himself. He released His supernatural peace to you through the sacrifice of His own Body as the sin-payment on your behalf so that you would dwell in His presence. And now there is nothing between you and Father God, for He sees you as Holy, flawless, and restored, 23 if indeed you continue to advance in faith, assured of a firm foundation to grow upon. Never be shaken from the hope of the Gospel you have believed in.

The Blood of Jesus Christ restored us to our original innocence so let us embrace this Absolute Truth without reluctance.  There is nothing capable of separating us from the Love of Christ so let us walk in the purity of Love today.
