WORLD CHANGER The 39 stripes of Christ represent the maladies that beset man and gave provision for healing. Shall we then say that it is not Gods will for us to be healed if it does not occur when we pray earnestly? Or is it that sometimes we lack the knowledge, know-how and/or spiritual authority, to operate in Christ and the Power of the Holy Spirit to impart that which has been given? If there is more of God to be had, where is the unquenchable fire and hunger to learn... until only Christ is imparted and released from within us? In this life of ours, since we are now citizens of Heaven operating within this world we were told to take dominion over, how is it that we are not leading mankind in every discipline of thought and science known to man, every technology, every medical discovery, working miracles daily, walking in the full power of God upon the earth, that even the winds would obey us? Did Jesus not say we would do as He did while on earth, and greater things will we do? Man is said by science today to operate at 2% brain capacity. Might I suggest, jesus operated at a higher rate? Did He not do the things He did on earth as a man, just like you and me? Perhaps God did not make junk when He created us… after all, did He not create us in His image, perhaps I might even suggest, His makeup? Is it not possible that Christ Jesus was truly the new Adam as Adam was meant to be before his great fall… this Christ… the man, Spirit-filled, and sinless. Hebrews 6 speaks of walking further into the deep with God, holding within us the elementary teachings as our firm foundation, and moving out into the perfection of our faith. Galatians 2:20 clearly speaks of crucifying our own selves, our own being, and allowing the Love and Life and Power of Christ to live in and through us… surely this speaks of maturity. 2 Corinthians 3:18 speaks of transformation more and more into the image, or likeness, of God… as we spend time in the Light of His Glory. What is God trying to say exactly? We have plenty of prophecy that speaks of end-times, things to come… and it is quite awe-inspiring, frightening at times really. Who can withstand? Romans 8:19 (NKJV) 19 For the earnest expectation of the creation eagerly waits for the revealing of the sons of God. The sons of God can withstand. I am speaking of those true believers who are walking in deep, intimate royal family relationship and fellowship with Father God. This is no small revelation, as we have entered the time of sorrows just as Jesus prophesied… and shadow grows upon the earth. But just as shadow increases, so does the Glory Light of God. Yes, the lines are being drawn. True believers are finding among the very Houses of God, the spirit of the pharisee and sadducee that led Christ to be nailed to a tree, is as much or more of a threat today than anything this world has to throw at us. What am I trying to say? What will shake will shake… what will move, will be moved. Those who are firmly founded on the rock of Christ Jesus, with the Warrior Christ living firmly inside, shall surely lead this great time of harvest. This end-time harvest is about the nameless… those diamonds who have been tried by fire and pressure and have overcome. They carry the full facets of God and know Him intimately, for they are His Bride, and He knows them, for He is their Bridegroom. he lives and reigns within them. They are carriers of the very Presence of God from the temple within them… they are fountains of Christ pouring Him out wherever they go… they carry Heaven within their very atmosphere and release it as they move about from city to city, changing culture, changing lives, changing people’s eternal outlook… healing the afflicted, setting captives free, making disciples who disciple… these are the trees, planted by rivers of living water, that bear fruit in their season. they are as the Bride, who longs to bear children for her Lover… that being the church and Christ… symbolically speaking… longing to bear souls for the Kingdom, to pour out freely what has been freely poured into them. it becomes instinct, natural… it is addicting even, becomes contagious among them… bringing great joy upon the earth and in Heaven. These are the world changers… from the lowly janitor working late night at the church, winning souls in the parking lot among the homeless late night… to the most well-known minister… from those who simply serve, to those manning the pulpit… from those who are stay-at-home moms teaching their children the ways of God… to the fathers who are a Christ-like representative in the marketplace. Surely our reward is in Heaven. Surely our reward is here now… as I said previously… His name… is Jesus… Eden’s Bridge to the garden, to be restored back with Father God. God isn’t looking for those who are perfect. He is looking for those He can flow through as a conduit perfectly. To these, He gives the gift, to be world changers. Whether one soul at a time or en mass, it is an honor all the same. He died for us… is it too much that we might live for Him? We can take this world, turn it right-side up and right-side in as it was meant to be. We need only to surrender and let Jesus in… to every thought, every breath, every heartbeat of our lives… and release Him as an outpouring upon this earth, to every soul, every being. Then we will see the Kingdom come and experience a little Heaven now, even before eternity… -Todd L Thomas, excerpt from the Book Captivated available Spring 2015 at Amazon
