We have better and lasting possessions through Christformation in us

Hebrews chapter 10:32-39

Remember those earlier days after you had received the light, when you stood your ground in a great contest in the face of suffering. Sometimes you were publicly exposed to insult and persecution; at other times you stood side by side with those who were so treated. You sympathized with those in prison and joyfully accepted the confiscation of your property, because you knew that you yourselves had better and lasting possessions. So do not throw away your confidence; it will be richly rewarded. You need to persevere so that when you have done the will of God, you will receive what he has promised. For in just a very little while,
"He who is coming will come and will not delay.
But my righteous one will live by faith.
And if he shrinks back,
I will not be pleased with him."But we are not of those who shrink back and are destroyed, but of those who believe and are saved.

The will of God the Father is that we be filled with Christ through Christformation in us.Christformation in us is all of God's riches in us.Everything in this universe was made through Christ and for Him.

The Only Way Out of This World Is A Better Resurrection in Christ

Philippians 3:10-11 (New International Version)

I want to know Christ and the power of his resurrection and the fellowship of sharing in his sufferings, becoming like him in his death, and so, somehow, to attain to the resurrection from the dead.

The enemies of Christ thought that they had successfully got rid of Christ our Lord but they didn't, for He rose from the dead after three days. The enemies of the Gospel thought that they had got rid of the apostles but they didn't, for the apostles knew and spoke about a better resurrection and counted themselves worthy of Christ to carry their own crosses assigned to them.

To know Christ and the power of His resurrection, we will surely go through many trials and tribulations and have fellowship of sharing in his sufferings, becoming like Him in his death;despised,rejected and forsaken.But, somehow, we know that by the power of the Holy Spirit we will be raised to life again with a better resurrection. What is a better resurrection?. A better resurrection could only come through Christ. Jesus Christ our Lord is the firstborn of the resurrected.We will have a better resurrection like his because of Christformation in us. A life of obedience to Christ after we have believed in Him will lead to a better resurrection in Christ.We shall be clothed with the Christformation that had taken place in us through our obedience to the Holy Spirit, walking by faith and not by sight.

Hebrews 11:32-36 (New International Version)

And what more shall I say? I do not have time to tell about Gideon, Barak, Samson, Jephthah, David, Samuel and the prophets, who through faith conquered kingdoms, administered justice, and gained what was promised; who shut the mouths of lions, quenched the fury of the flames, and escaped the edge of the sword; whose weakness was turned to strength; and who became powerful in battle and routed foreign armies. Women received back their dead, raised to life again. Others were tortured and refused to be released, so that they might gain a better resurrection. Some faced jeers and flogging, while still others were chained and put in prison.

We are not yearning for anything on this earth as it will all pass away in a day.We have the last enemy to conquer and that is 'Death'. In the Garden of Eden The Devil appeared as the Tree of knowledge of Good and Evil even when it was a 'Tree of Death'.This is how Adam and Eve were deceived into believing the lie.

Keep Watch with Me and Pray

Matthew 26:38 (New International Version)

Then he said to them, "My soul is overwhelmed with sorrow to the point of death. Stay here and keep watch with me."

Yes, the Lord Jesus is interceding for us that all those who belong to Him have full Christformation in them.He knows this will not come easily for them too, as much as He had suffered to the point of death before He had gone to the Cross.He said to His disciples who were with Him "keep watch with me and pray". Why did He require them to "keep watch and pray".He said while others are still sleeping you keep watch and pray.While others don't care, you must keep watch and pray.Why was it so?

Matthew 26:40-41 (New International Version)

Then he returned to his disciples and found them sleeping. "Could you men not keep watch with me for one hour?" he asked Peter. "Watch and pray so that you will not fall into temptation. The spirit is willing, but the body is weak

You will have to fight your tiredness to keep watch for at least an hour yourself to intercede along with the Lord Jesus Christ for Christformation in you, or else you will be tempted to quit or fall away from Christformation in you, what more, full Christformation in you that the Heavenly Father had willed for you and me who belong to Him for eternity.

Proverbs 8:34 (New International Version)

Blessed is the man who listens to me,
watching daily at my doors, waiting at my doorway.

You will have to listen(obey) to Christ and the Heavenly Father through the Holy Spirit for full Christformation in you. You will have to keep watch and pray and intercede with Him for this to happen in you and in others.yes, maybe lose your sleep,fight tiredness and pray so that you will not be tempted to quit full Christformation in you.You have to be actively sowing your time and effort for this to happen.You must obey what He says or else you will be tempted.

The sinful nature of the Devil in us

Romans 8:13 (New International Version)

For if you live according to the sinful nature, you will die; but if by the Spirit you put to death the misdeeds of the body, you will live,

You and I are in a war. A spiritual war daily.You will have to fight till the end.It is either you who will die or the Enemy. The Enemy uses it's sinful nature that it sowed with the consent of Adam and Eve to attack you. What are you going to do with it's continual assault? Give in and give up to its assaults or fight till the end and win.We are made to be more than conquerors through Christ who nailed the sinful nature of the Devil on the cross.We can put it to death too through the power of Holy Spirit in us , today.Lets fight the Enemy daily and not give up at all.Lets depend on the power of the Holy Spirit to do that. We must obey God's voice through the Holy Spirit in us.When we obey Him, Christ will be formed in us. We have to be actively fighting and not become complacent or non-engaging in the fight.

Just imagine if Leonard Lewis or Evander Holyfield were non-engaging in their fights with Mike Tyson? What would have happened? We can predict the results right? More to come in this fight....

This is Just The Beginning of Birth Pangs (Pains)

Matthew 24:8 (New International Version)

All these are the beginning of birth pains.

Still pondering on who is having the birth pains? She is none other than the Heavenly Jerusalem.Who will be the child she will be delivering? Those in whom Christ is being formed.

Revelation 12:2 (New International Version)

She was pregnant and cried out in pain as she was about to give birth.

All these things happen for God's chosen nation to be born through Christformation in them.All these things will happen when she will be about to deliver the Heavenly Jerusalem with full Christformation in them.What are these things? In short, at the final stages of the existence of the devil( Satan) before it is anihilated from this earth forever with the fallen angels, False-prophet and the Anti-Christ. It will struggle and will try to cause a big stir all over the world.It will try to claim that it has a lot of followers too.There will be war, sometimes just rumours of it will send shivers down our spines because we will be afraid of prices of things soaring high. It is now.People will become greedier and start hoarding wealth for
themselves and their own families. They will be afraid to face any form of suffering because they have always lived in comfort and will tremble at the thought of going through suffering.

But all those with Christformation in them have come through the tested way and they have been purified more than gold and are still being purified and they will be ready.There will be a choice for them, to follow through with their Savior who never fails them or fall away.More to come.

Christformation In You is the Secret Wisdom of God

1 Corinthians 2:6-16 (New International Version)

We do, however, speak a message of wisdom among the mature, but not the wisdom of this age or of the rulers of this age, who are coming to nothing. No, we speak of God's secret wisdom, a wisdom that has been hidden and that God destined for our glory before time began. None of the rulers of this age understood it, for if they had, they would not have crucified the Lord of glory. However, as it is written:
"No eye has seen,
no ear has heard,
no mind has conceived
what God has prepared for those who love him"— but God has revealed it to us by his Spirit.

Full Christformation in you is what has been prepared for those who love Him and keep His commandments.This, He has revealed to us by the powerful Spirit of God and His Christ in us.If we obey Him, this secret wisdom of God who is Christ formed in us will bring eternal glory to the Father, yes Doxa glory to God the Father.
