Good day to you, Elder Mike..

Great to see you and the family in good shape last Sunday. It really was refreshing to see all having been fed such good food of the Lord’s table. It is truly a blessing just to have a small part in The Christ. Despite being troubled with many things in my life now, such as work issues, unbelieving family members, etc. Like Mary, I am always thankful nevertheless that I am being caused to chose the good part, to sit at Jesus’s feet and hear his word. As you know more than most, this life can encumber us with many seeming ‘good’ services which can take us away from the presence of the Lord, as Martha.
I was just studying on the site and one question a brother asked you coincided with a verse I was looking at and a very interesting topic. The Brother said…

I have a question about how the sons of God will be manifested to creation.

Immediately all I remembered was Judas’s own questions (not Iscariot)… what a coincidence!

Joh 14:22 Judas saith unto him, (not Iscariot), Lord, how is it that thou wilt manifest thyself unto us, and not unto the world?

The answer of the Lord bears witness exactly to what you are affirming today in that…

Christ wants us all to first experience that manifestation within, in the spirit, before we will be counted able to be manifested as such to an outward unconverted world. In these days of world wide crisis, it is few indeed who are even concerned with the things that are within, where the real manifestation must first take place. If Christ is not first manifested to us, then we will not be the ones being made manifest to this world as “the sons of God.”

Joh 14:23 Jesus answered and said unto him, If a man love me, he will keep my words: and my Father will love him, and we will come unto him, and make our abode with him.

I find amazing how the same question being asked in the days of Christ in the flesh is also the question being asked to HIS CHRIST in our days now. Great joy to me that the SAME answer is being given to the Lord’s flock… and His Christ is not thinking above what is written. Jesus Christ manifested to the world in the body of his flesh, but no one knew and received him in the flesh. In the Spirit, he is now manifesting to us who in times past did not seek after him, but sought our father the Devil…

Rom 10:20 But Esaias is very bold, and saith, I was found of them that sought me not; I was made manifest unto them that asked not after me.
Rom 10:21 But to Israel he saith, All day long I have stretched forth my hands unto a disobedient and gainsaying people. [ the Carnal World within me!]

… even as pre- pentecost, the disciples then and now sought after the flesh of Christ, not God who is Spirit. Jesus’s answer above placed emphasis on the strongest meat you have been putting on my conscience the past few months,  the MEANS/ MODE or the HOW he will manifest to the World within me… that is… If a man love me, he will keep my words: and my Father will love him, and we will come unto him, and make our abode with him. This takes place in Loving CHRIST and doing righteousness, which meaning of Love is written above and witnessed again by apostle John..

1Jn 3:10 In this the children of God are manifest, and the children of the devil: whosoever doeth not righteousness is not of God, neither he that loveth not his brother.

As you emphasized earlier all must take place “ within, where the real manifestation must first take place. If Christ is not first manifested to us, then we will not be the ones being made manifest to this world as “the sons of God.”
Again, solid foundation of Scripture uttered inspired by Apostle Paul… and where this manifestation must first take place.

2Co 4:10 Always bearing about in the body the dying of the Lord Jesus, that the life also of Jesus might be made manifest in our body.
2Co 4:11 For we which live are always delivered unto death for Jesus’ sake, that the life also of Jesus might be made manifest in our mortal flesh.
2Co 4:12 So then death worketh in us, but life in you.

The manifestaion of Risen Jesus in our body of flesh is nothing less than our “dying daily” to the flesh; a death process which is the Judgement taking place upon the house of God now. The Judgment manifested upon our Flesh as apostle Peter and Paul reminded us…

1Pe 4:6 For for this cause was the gospel preached also to them that are dead, that they might be judged according to men in the flesh, but live according to God in the spirit.
2Th 1:4 So that we ourselves glory in you in the churches of God for your patience and faith in all your persecutions and tribulations that ye endure:
2Th 1:5 Which is a manifest token of the righteous judgment of God, that ye may be counted worthy of the kingdom of God, for which ye also suffer:

A great secret of how God is manifested in that it is all “within, where the real manifestation must first take place.”.. sufferings/ persecutions and trubulations being the signs/ token God gives us of His Manifestation within. Whom the Lord manifests to is he that Love him, he that Love him is he that Keep his WORD, he that God Loves is he that receives chastening and scourging and wrath upon his ungodliness and unrighteousness. Yes, God does SO Love the World, and he is giving his Sons begotten of HIS Spirit a purpose and work to manifest to the entire creation at his appointed time, but that time will be a time of Great Rebuking, Chastening and Scourging, such has not been since the beginning of the world until that appointed time, no, nor ever shall be , a time otherwise known as the Great White throne judgment a. k. a the Lake of fire. The ONE PURPOSE OF HIS MANIFESTATION TO US FIRST, and then HIM in Us to manifest to the rest of the creation is;

1Jn 3:5 And ye know that he was manifested to take away our sins; and in him is no sin….
1Jn 2:2 And he is the propitiation for our sins: and not for ours only, but also for the sins of the whole world….. the means to that end…
1Jn 3:8 He that committeth sin is of the devil; [1Jn 1:9-10 with Joh 8:44 – ALL HAVE SINNED..] for the devil sinneth from the beginning. For this purpose the Son of God was manifested, that he might destroy the works of the devil.

ALL “within, where the real manifestation must first take place.”……

1Ti 3:16 And without controversy great is the mystery of godliness: God was manifest in the flesh, justified in the Spirit, seen of angels, preached unto the Gentiles, believed on in the world, received up into glory.

The Lord has seen fit to give us a scroll to bear witness to this great mystery of his ways, and I thank him ALWAYS that His Word in the pages of Scripture has opened my heaven. His Scripture IS a means of this manifestation..

Rom 16:25 Now to him that is of power to stablish you according to my gospel, and the preaching of Jesus Christ, according to the revelation of the mystery, which was kept secret since the world began,
Rom 16:26 But now is made manifest, and by the scriptures of the prophets, according to the commandment of the everlasting God, made known to all nations for the obedience of faith:
2Ti 1:10 But is now made manifest by the appearing of our Saviour Jesus Christ, who hath abolished death, and hath brought life and immortality to light through the gospel:

Yes…. you and your household brought me the Gospel, when I did not seek after you, though you have been stretching your hands all day to disobedient brothers like me around the World. You manifested to me when I did not ask after you. What Great mercy, what Love God has towards us. I am still marvelling and in awe of all and How God is working all according to the counsels of his own will. Yes, it is a great secret that ALL is “within, where the real manifestation must first take place.”…… matter of fact, IT IS THE GREATEST SECRET UNKNOWN TO MEN… that is..

Col 1:26 Even the mystery which hath been hid from ages and from generations, but now is made manifest…… to his saints:
Col 1:27 To whom God would make known what is the riches of the glory of this mystery among the Gentiles; which is Christ in you, the hope of glory:!!!

His full manifestation to us within is still in earnest, hence it is still “the hope of Glory”, nevertheless..

Rom 8:19 For the earnest expectation of the creature waiteth for the manifestation of the sons of God.
1Jn 3:2 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.
1Jn 4:17 Here in is our love made perfect, that we may have boldness in the day of judgment: because as he is, so are we in this world.

Wow! We will be manifesting to the world, as James/ John/ Paul/ Peter and all God’s elect Sons in that One Spirit. WHAT A CALLING, WHAT AN OFFICE!
I thank you for bearing with me to hear this small thought of mine I have in my email every now and then. It really does open my eyes to a lot of things. Forgive me and correct me wherein correction is needed as you always do in keeping the Doctrine of the Lord pure. I’ve written to my Ma Elder Sandi asking for travel details, etc. of getting to see you and the family (God willing) by end of the year.
Ok, I’ll leave and love you now. Please continue to take care of yourself and the Family. Greet all for me and they are all in my heart.
Your brother in the Christ of our Lord,
