Coming Into Christ Consciousness by Gary Sigler

There is a verse in Hebrews that says Jesus is the author and the finisher of our faith. We know that God drew us to Himself. He authored the birth of His seed within us. We had nothing to do with it. Anyone who thinks they had anything to do with his salvation and it was their goodness that brought them to God is a person most deceived. If you didn't bring yourself to God, if you had nothing to do with your redemption and your acceptability before God, then why do you think that you have to take Adam and perfect him? If God truly is the finisher of our faith, as the Word says, then when Adam rises up we simply realize that that is an opportunity for me to forgive myself. We should all walk in forgiveness. You must learn to forgive yourself when the flesh rises up.

How could I not be conscious of my sin? When I begin to walk in these truths that I am telling you tonight, not only did I lose a sin-consciousness, but I gained a life of peace. That's why I say, in reality, folks, there is only one reality. Seemingly there are two. But there is only one, and the reality; the truth of the matter is sin is no more. It was dealt with.

Because we haven't been living out of the right consciousness and we haven't been focusing on Christ, to us our carnality is very real. A lot of people say there is no sickness; there is no death. In Christ this is true. There is a lot of suffering in this world. There is a lot of pain in this world. How can we deny that? Yet, there will come a day when everyone of us will experience that death is no more. Sin is no more. Sickness is no more. Christ will come forth in us in all of His glory and then we will experience these things in their fullness.

If we are waiting for this like a fairy tale, that someday this is going to happen, we are missing the joyous journey of walking into it. If you are not walking into it, you will miss it until you do walk into it. We are so close today, and I am sure we all feel this, to see a group of people rise up on this earth that will absolutely bring the dominion and the kingdom of God onto the earth

Some of you have probably heard me share before how that the traditional Christian mindset is that someday Jesus is going to come back and we're going to rule and reign with Him. Are we? Not if He hasn't been ruling and reigning in us right now. The only way that we can bring the kingdom of God to earth is to recognize everything that should not be in His kingdom and make sure it isn't in us. If each one of us will do that individually, without making it a performance, we will succeed in bringing the kingdom to our earth.

If we soak ourselves in the presence of God and meditate in these truths we will begin to walk in the reality and freedom of not having the bondages of sin in the flesh. It is so wonderful. Nobody really knows except one who has been in the throws and bondages of the flesh how wonderful it is to wake up in the morning and to know that once again Christ is going to flow from your being. You don't have to worry about the pull of the flesh and make all of the resolutions and false promises to yourself. You just know that God is able to do that in you that He has promised to do.

 Paul says that this is so important...to be renewed in the spirit of your mind. "Let this mind be in you which was also in Christ Jesus, who thought it not robbery to be equal with God, but He humbled Himself." Phil. 2:5 A lot of people like that phrase "equal with God" but they forget about the humbling of themselves. Jesus said, "He that will be the greatest among you, let him be the servant of all." Mark 10:44

A lot of people want to preach the Word today. A lot of people want to get in pulpits. A lot of people want to do a lot of things. But when Christ really gets a hold of you, and you begin to understand who God has really made you to be, then you will become...not out of performance...but out of character one who serves. You will find it very easy to prefer others before yourself. It's your nature.

Heaven Is An Experience

Most churches teach that heaven is where Christians go when they die... but let's take a different look.

Matthew 23:13
“Woe to you, teachers of the law and Pharisees, you hypocrites! You shut the door of the kingdom of heaven in people’s faces. You yourselves do not enter, nor will you let those enter who are trying to.

Here we have Jesus talking to the Jewish religious leaders of his day, telling them that they do not enter into into heaven, nor do they allow their fellow Jews to enter in.

Did you catch that???

Jesus didn't say that they wouldn't enter heaven when they died, but rather that they weren't entering into heaven right then in their present time! If heaven is just a place where people go when they die, then what Jesus says here makes absolutely no sense.

It is rather clear here that heaven (the Kingdom of God) isn't a place, but rather a mindset. Paul describes the Kingdom of God in Romans 14:17... is having the joy, peace & righteousness (righteousness means having a clear conscious before God) in the Holy Spirit!

No One Is Separated From God... Here's Why!

Christianity tells us that people are separated from God because of our sin... that we need to ask God to forgive us and then we have to try as hard as we can not to ever sin again or God will be angry and possibly send us to "hell" anyways...

So I ask the question... What sin are they talking about? According to the Bible, sin no longer exists and even more so, sin was only held against those whom were under the Old Covenant Law... which was the ancient Jews... the Gentiles or non-Jews weren't included in the Old Covenant, hence why the Jews were known as the "chosen people"!

But first things first...
Daniel prophesied that the Messiah (Jesus) would put an end to sin in Daniel 9:24
"Seventy 'sevens' are decreed for your people and your holy city to finish transgression, to put an end to sin, to atone for wickedness, to bring in everlasting righteousness, to seal up vision and prophecy and to anoint the most holy. 

And Hebrews 9:26 confirms that  this prophecy came true!
Then Christ would have had to suffer many times since the creation of the world. But now he has appeared once for ALL at the end of the ages to do away with sin by the sacrifice of himself.

The Law was the ministry of spiritual death (2 Corinthians 3:7)... one had to be under the Law in order to be "dead"... no one living today or for the Last 2,000 years has ever been under the Law, for the Law ended when the Old Covenant world / age ended. Gentiles / non-Jews were never under the Law / ministry of death to begin with! 

YES, faith is important, for it enables us to experience the Kingdom / presence of God within us, but if people are still dead in their sins as Christianity tells us (sins that God supposedly has not counted against anyone for the last 2,000 years according to 2 Corinthians 5:19), then the Bible is worthless and Christ failed in His mission. 

Not to mention... God is the one who created us with our human "sinful" nature... it would be incredibly unjust for God to create mankind with not only the ability to sin, but also the propensity to do so on a regular basis, if He was going to throw an eternal temper tantrum for people acting out how we were created. LOL 

imo, the Bible and the very nature of God that I have experienced, both show me that God created humanity to be just as we are... as tools to teach us and grow us up to where we all will eventually be. 

For Christians who think their faith is what God looks at in the bigger picture and everyone else is scum... well, the Jews thought that way too when Jesus welcomed the Gentiles to know the Father... and boy oh boy, did that piss them off, just as it ticks off Christians to think that unbelievers are just as right with God as Christians are!

If I may suggest, really get to know God, ask HIM a ton of questions... do not believe ANYTHING a preacher, pastor or other so called experts within Christianity tell you without asking God His opinion on the matter, no matter how much it seems to make sense!

Don't even believe me... the Lord is our teacher... ask HIM if these things be true and to make them real to you if they are! 

Peace
