Original Intent Part 2b

We who believed were crucified with Him, we were buried with Him, and we were judged in Him and have been resurrected with Him to a
"newness of life" in Christ Jesus. "As He is, so are we in the creation" (1 John 4:17). He wants to fulfill His plan. He wants to
complete His purpose. He wants to complete His Original Intent. God
is seeking a people according to His purpose. A people who will deny
self-will to take up His will. A people in whom God can walk, talk, and build relationship. A people of His government.

To walk in Original Intent we must walk in His likeness. We must learn as Paul did that "it is no longer I that lives but Christ lives
in me" (Galatians 2:20), and "for me to live is Christ" (philippians
1:21). God created man to be the 3rd dimension house for His 4th
dimension nature and Spirit. "Know ye not that your body is the Temple-dwelling place-of the Holy Spirit?" (1 Corinthians 6:19) "We-
My Father and I-will come and make Our abode within you." (John 14:23) "It is God the Father who is at work within you both to give the will to do and also to do His good pleasure" (Philippians 2:13),
"It is the Father's good pleasure to give you the Kingdom-the rule,
dominion, Kingship over creation" (Luke 12:32).

The renewing of the mind, the transforming of the nature of man from what came as a result of the fall to what was provided in the resurrection of our Anointed Redeemer is a work of the Holy Spirit.
The washing of our thought life with the "it is written" word of God,
a dying to self so that there occurs within our inner being a personal resurrection of the new man and a total commitment to the
divine nature provided for us is obtainable when it is diligently sought. (More is addressed on this arena in "The Three Formulas" and
in "Steps to Wisdom and Purpose")

"Beloved, now are we the sons of God, and it doth not yet appear what
we shall be: but we know that, when he shall appear, we shall be like
him; for we shall see him as he is. And every man that hath this hope in him purifieth himself, even as he is pure." 1 John 3:2

"For whom he did foreknow, he also did predestinate to be conformed to the image of his Son, that he might be the firstborn among many
brethen. Moreover whom he did predestinate, them he also called: and whom he called, them he also justified: and whom he justified, them he also glorified." Romans 8:29,30

"But we all, with open face beholding as in a glass the glory of the Lord, are changed into the same image from glory to glory, even as by
the Spirit of the Lord." 2 Corinthians 3:18

We can and it is certain some will, come up to conformity to the will, plan and purpose of God. Some will arise to be as He is. Some
will recognize that they are Sons of God and purify themselves to come up to the mark of the "high calling in Christ Jesus". Conformity to His image is not only possible, it is what occurs
naturally when the ministry gifts God gave the Church fulfills the job description of Ephesians 4:12-16.

"But put ye on the Lord Jesus Christ, and make not provision for the flesh, to fulfill the lusts thereof." Romans 13:14

If all the fullness of the Godhead dwells in Christ Jesus, and if he is the first-born of all those who are to be like Him and are to be joint-heirs with Him, if as He is now so are we, if the works that He did we are to do, and greater works, if the same power, Spirit, and ability that raised up our Anointed Redeemer from the dead lives in us to make us alive with the same life that made Him alive, if all
power in Heaven and in earth has been thrust into our hands, if we
have the keys to the Kingdom of God in our bag of spiritual endow-
ments, then what is so hard about fulfilling Original Intent?

"That ye might walk worthy of the Lord unto all pleasing, being fruitful in every good work, and increasing in the knowledge of God;
strengthened with all might, according to his glorious power, unto all patience and longsuffering with joyfulness; giving thanks unto the Father, which hath made us meet to be partakers of the inheritance of the saints in light: who hath delivered us from the
power of darkness, and hath translated us into the kingdom of his dear Son: in whom we have redemption through his blood, even the
forgiveness of sins: who is the image of the invisible God, the
firstborn of every creature: for by him were all things created, that are in Heaven, and that are in earth, visible and invisible, whether they be thrones, or dominions, or principalities, or powers:
all things were created by him, and for him: and he is before all things consist. And He is the head of the body, the church: who is the beginning, the firstborn from the dead; that in all things he might have the preeminence. For it pleased the Father that in him should all fullness dwell; and, having made peace through the blood of his cross, by him to reconcile all things unto himself; by him, I say, whether they be things in earth, or things in Heaven. And you, that were sometime alienated and enemies in your mind by wicked works, yet now hath he reconciled in the body of his flesh through death, to present you holy and unblameable and unreproveable in his sight: If ye continue in the faith grounded and settled, and be not moved away from the hope of the gospel, which ye have heard, and which was preached to every creature which is under Heaven; whereof I
Paul am made a minister;" Colossians 1:10-23

Change is not only possible; it is inevitable for whosoever will. It
is time for a supernatural people to rise up and rule. "For such a time as this" were born into the family of God.
