THE INCARNATION OF CHRIST IN YOU

CHRIST COME IN YOU MAKES YOU ALIVE AND RIGHT-LIVING

HEALEDANDWHOLE44.001 2
The Full Gospel came on the scene when Believers realised that the miracles recorded in Acts were not just something contained in the apostolic era. They were there as normative for a gospel that is more than a form of godliness. They were normal for the kind of mission that is apostolic.

 
Cessationism is not a Bible doctrine and more a rationalisation of institutionalism and its powerlessness.
 
ULTIMATE HEALING
 
People are being healed around the world. I have witnessed this and participated in it. But healing on its own is not the Gospel of the Kingdom or the apostles teaching. In fact a gospel of miracles, signs and anointings by itself is not the Full Gospel. The full gospel is that the separation of man and God has been undone in God’s Son and that we find healing of our God wound and all other wounds in Him.
 
NEVER STOP LEARNING
If we persist in the adventure of seeking life in Jesus, we will progress into an ever-widening panorama of the goodness of God; into increasing depths of being and fresh enlightenment from the fact that our life in God is more about being human than it is about doing. And knowing that wholesome and holy doing proceeds from and authentic understanding of the being of God and the being of ourselves in Him and in His salvation. Life in the Spirit is oneness with God. Paul wrote,
BY THE ONE SPIRIT
‘Therefore, there is now no condemnation for those who are in Christ Jesus, because through Christ Jesus the law of the Spirit who gives life has set you free from the law of sin and death.  For what the law was powerless to do because it was weakened by the flesh,  God did by sending his own Son in the likeness of sinful flesh to be a sin offering.  And so he condemned sin in the flesh,  in order that the righteous requirement of the law might be fully met in us, who do not live according to the flesh but according to the Spirit’ Rom 8.1-4 NIV.
LAW OF THE SPIRIT OF LIFE
In the Spirit we and Father are one. Paul is referring to Christ our life. The words. ‘The righteous requirement of the law’ do not mean the Ten Commandments because this is what these words of Paul are undoing. This is about Christ our life as the replacement of the law of the flesh. Paul is telling all that the law of the spirit of life who is Christ our life is active in us because we live according to the Spirit – the expression of Christ as us.
ONE WITH GOD
When we are born again, we will understand that knowing God and ourselves is much less about standing on doctrinal positions and proof texts and much more in being one with God. It’s about intuiting the sound doctrine of Jesus and the apostles as well as the teaching of spirit and truth that comes from efforts of Athanasius, accounts such as the Nicaean Creed and the tradition of teaching informed by this explication of the apostles teaching.
SIGNS POINT TO BASIC HEALING
The message of the Kingdom is not so much that God is real. It’s that God has healed the separation that existed between man and God.
I refer to sound teaching of the kind that appears in the work of Professor Torrance and those who draw from these inspired essays, such as J Baxter Kruger and others. Their revealing of the truth about God and us is as much a gift of the Spirit as those who heal blind eyes and dead ears. In fact, we must assert that even if eyes and limbs are healed, people are not healed in their being if they are not living in their new covenant possession.
HALF GOSPELS
Healing miracles are advertisements for our greater healing in God. They point to the fact that the two have been made one. This is not just about Jews and Gentiles. It’s about God healing our separation from Him. In fact, we may safely assume that gifts and anointings, without the healing of our disconnection with God is not the Kingdom of God. This does not accord with the new covenant living and is no foundation on which to build the church.
ABERRATIONS
Fundamentalism will leave us barren because it is about positions rather than about being. Liberalism and pluralism is without real substance, knowledge and information in themselves impart no life since they are not alive in incarnated living. Charismata and the gifts are not the kingdom unless they are the product of our new covenant union with God -  which is Christ our life. Heaven comes to earth when the incarnation is lived on earth.
THIS GOSPEL OF THE KINGDOM
As for the law, it is ‘no gospel at all’ because it is incapable of imparting life and in fact has been superseded by Christ Himself AS OUR LIFE, who has woven the trinity into us and us into the trinity.
INCARNATION IS KINGDOM SUBSTANCE
The result is that our union with God is one of fact and not of words – thus undoing fundamentalist posturing, religion as idolatry and the knowledge of good and evil and an old and toxic way.  Replacing it with the knowledge of God and ourselves as belonging to God and part of His life.
SUBSTANCE THEOLOGY
We are an extension of His life as the Sons/daughters of God. Writing of one of these apostolic teachers, Thomas Noble writes, “
Forty years later, the theological world at large is only beginning to appreciate the abiding strength of (Thomas)Torrance’s thinking. He was not the kind of fashionable theologian of the day who leapt on the latest bandwagons and sold pop-theology, much of which is now outmoded. His comprehensive grasp of historical theology enabled him to put the current fashions and moods in perspective and to dismiss what he called mere “paper theology.” (1)
BENT PERSEPCTIVE – CONFUSED EYES
It's easy to support the status quo with ‘paper theology’, prop up the ideas of vested interests and add a perspective that appears to be the gospel but is not the gospel of the Kingdom. The pure in heart see God, know God, speak on God’s behalf but not because they are more devout or clever than others but because they  have one master and one husband who is Christ.
