The Lord Jesus referred to the many rooms in His Father's House. Jesus Christ is the Father's house, the eternal dwelling place of God. Now is coming into being the Body of Christ, the Body of the Father's House, the Wife of the Lamb, so Christ will have a fullness that will include all areas of the creation.

It can be seen from this that God's ultimate intention is to express Himself in flesh and bones. Each Christian who is willing to suffer denial is being created a room in God's eternal tabernacle.

Eventually every person saved to the new heaven and earth reign of Jesus Christ will possess in himself a measure of Christ, some thirty, some sixty, and some a hundredfold. To the measure that Christ is formed in us, in that measure God can find His rest in us.

As we have stated, the Wife of the Lamb is married to the Lamb by eating the Lamb and by drinking His blood.

This is how it works. Each day we make a multitude of decisions, most minor and a few major. As we grow in Jesus Christ we learn to bring all decisions to Him. We seek to always live in His Presence, to be aware of His Presence and His will in all that we are and do.

From time to time we discover our joys and ambitions are not His will. When we come to a decision, something that we want to do oh so badly, and become aware this is not God's will; or when we become aware God is telling us to do something we do not want to do, like Abraham being told to offer Isaac (although wrenching decisions of such intensity are rare, being necessary only for those destined to govern in the Kingdom), we must choose to either deny ourselves or else not do the Lord's will. Have you been there?

When we disobey the Lord we continue in our adamic state. We do not grow in Christ, in the Kingdom of God, in eternal life. We remain a soulish animal. We save our life only to lose it.

When we choose to deny ourselves, to do what the Spirit of God is directing, a part of our adamic nature perishes. It is at this point that we are fed the body and blood of Christ in the spirit realm. We are given to eat of the tree of life.

This is the process that results in the formation of the Body of Christ, the Wife of the Lamb, the Kingdom of God. There absolutely is no other way to become an integral part of Jesus Christ other than by learning to live by His body and His blood. They are our eternal life. They will raise us to Him when He appears.

If we choose to save our life we will lose it. If we choose to lose our life for Christ's sake and the Gospel's we will save it.

To be continued.
