The Sky is not the Limit

When the truth of Christ's unlimited presence dwelling within us is actualized in our spirit man, we are able to live life in an exceedingly abundant state of prosperity. 

.

As partakers of the divine nature, we release God's powerful activities in and through our lives - filled with all the fullness of God, we are then able to gain understanding from another higher, more advanced spiritual dimension in God. Tapping into the imaginative, creative, all-knowing mind of Christ gives us the ability to gain the supremacy of wisdom to move above and beyond all that we can ask, think or even imagine

by Barbie Breathitt

 

The sky is not the limit; it's just the beginning!

I was attending one of Cindy Jacob's speaking engagements in late 2018 when the Lord spoke to me.

The following is a paraphrase of what He imparted:

My prophets need to begin building me a platform that is large enough for Me to inhabit, to house My glory.

My prophets keep postponing my coming, even with the terminology they use to prophesy — there will be a time coming, the new season will begin or in two years from now this or that will happen.

When My prophets prophesy in this manner, because I honor the words of My prophets, I cannot manifest in a NOW way.

I want to manifest in the NOW! I am limited to only manifesting in measure because of the small platform they build me with their words.

I want My people to begin to exaggerate My Word, so that I can begin to enter into and expose my granger with a NOW word.

My prophets are worried that if they prophesy a NOW word, I will not come, or it will not happen.

Their fear of embarrassment restrains Me. But My Son Jesus became of no reputation. He only did what He saw Me (the Father) doing.

I want my prophets to speak what they hear Me saying and do what they see Me doing.

He then brought me to passages in Ezekiel where God instructed him to command dry bones to come alive, to prophesy as He commanded (see Ezekiel 37).

When we prophesy as God commands, a certain sound is released, a shaking ensues and a coming together occurs, and the body of Christ resurrects out of the wilderness as a unified body.

God is calling us to an elevated spiritual level of operation as individuals and united as the Bride of Christ.

Spiritual Fourth Dimension

In order to see what the Father is doing and to prophesy as He commands, we must operate in the spiritual fourth dimension, not the worldly third dimension.

We must transition from operating out of a gifting level into operating out of the glory level (see Revelation 4:5).

Where we have normally operated in a gifting or anointing level, we are being called to step into a level of Christ ministry, the Seven Spirits of God office level of fullness where all the limitations are taken off.

God is always communicating with us whether we are aware or not. God communicates to us through His Spirits.

The distinct dimensions of God's Spirits are: the Spirit of the Lord, the Spirit of Wisdom, the Spirit of Understanding, the Spirit of Counsel and Might, the Spirit of the Revelation Knowledge of Christ and the Reverential Fear of the Lord.

All seven dwell within the Believer at varying degrees.

God created a specific system of communication for each individual person, a personal vocabulary depending on how one interprets.

He speaks in puns, parables and symbols.

When the disciples asked Jesus why He spoke in parables, Jesus explained that symbols had been given unto them (us) to understand the Kingdom of God.

We can be enlightened by God's symbolic language, whereas the world is confused by it (see Matthew 13:10-17).

God speaks in parabolic phrases, so that we can come into the knowledge of God (spiritual realm) through the Spirit of Understanding in order to gain wisdom to move in His counsel, to move in His might.

Being born of the Spirit, the Word becomes alive to us. God can now speak to us through the Word, symbols, visions and dreams (see Job 33).

He finds different and distinctive ways to speak to each one of us, and He does not speak the same way every time.

God is very diverse (the multi-faceted wisdom of God).

Engage the Imagination

Understanding God's symbolic language is possible through the imagination. The imagination is the conduit so to speak.

God wants us to engage the imagination (the greater platform), so He can enter into it and express Himself in a much grander way to us than just by knowledge or by intellect.

The imagination brings in the creative dimension God wants to use, so that He can express Himself to each person individually and to meet our specific needs.

The imagination empowers us to live and experience life in a much grander way.

When we learn to live by our imagination, we will live life in abundance, in the best and the worst of times.

The creative use of our imagination causes us to aspire to reach our full potential.

By accessing God's supreme power, knowledge and wisdom through the Holy Spirit, we have the ability to operate as God designed us.

By gaining the understanding of God's mysteries concealed in the soul of our thoughts and spiritual dreams, we can live in the future dimensions of increase.

Accepting God's increase prepares us to step into and then steward the magnitudes of His multiplied blessings.

We know God as our Creator by becoming an heir of Jesus' divine nature.

The divine nature of God gives us the power to create things (in and through the imagination) not currently seen or known to exist.

Resting in the divine nature of God causes us to imitate God by producing a prosperous future.

There are many futures God has designed for us. Futures-in-waiting already exist in the realm of the Spirit for our imaginations to discover.

We have the power to choose which destiny we will fulfill in life.

Rise Up to Manifest His Glory

God is calling us to rise up as the Sons (and Daughters) of God in order to manifest His glory.

This is only possible with faith. Faith is a master key that creates and unlocks our internal doors and spiritual gateways.

It is one thing to have faith IN God; it is another to have the faith OF God.

The plane of faith and the degree of godly character we master determines the depth, height, width and breadth of the future we will choose to demonstrate.

Faith defines the levels of God's grandeur we will choose to exhibit in our lives.

So that they should seek the Lord, in the hope that they might grope for Him and find Him, though He is not far from each one of us; for in Him we live and move and have our being, as also some of your own poets have said, "For we are also His offspring."

Therefore, since we are the offspring of God, we ought not to think that the divine nature is like gold or silver or stone, something shaped by art and man's devising.

Truly, these times of ignorance God overlooked, but now commands all men everywhere to repent (Acts 17:27-30).

As partakers of the divine nature, we release God's powerful activities in and through our lives.

God's boundless love and infinite intelligence dwells in the heart of those who believe in the reality of Jesus Christ as their personal Redeemer.

The Father of Glory comes to awaken us to a new day of opportunity.

The Holy Spirit opens the eyes of our understanding, and we are spiritually enlightened. When we are born again, godly revelation empowers us to see how to enter into the Kingdom of God in order to prosper and to fulfill all that God has purposed.

Believers are endued with the power of influence, authority and a commanding sway of godly presence.

We are called to reveal the mysteries of God that have been concealed in the hope of Christ.

The Eyes of Your Understanding

The futuristic visions that Christ projects within the Believer's imagination shows him or her how to operate in the riches of His glory.

Everything we could ever want, need or desire is in the realm of glory.

When we take on God's glorious image and likeness, we become part of His glorious inheritance.

That the God of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of glory, may give to you the spirit of wisdom and revelation in the knowledge of Him, the eyes of your understanding being enlightened; that you may know what is the hope of His calling, what are the riches of the glory of His inheritance in the saints (Ephesians 1:17-18).

The word understanding in the above passage is the Hebrew word bin.

It means to go before time has happened; to go into the future realm of the Spirit in order to see the plans God has to prosper us, so that we gain a godly understanding to correctly interpret the future.

If we, as the saints of God, are able to enter the future to see and understand the plans of God before they happen, we will be called upon by the kings and presidents from every nation of the world.

The Gentiles shall come to your light and kings to the brightness of your rising (Isaiah 60:3).

The love of Christ Jesus dwelling in the imagination is the creative force that empowers us to access, know and surpass all the natural knowledge of this world.

When we become aware that we are being filled with all the fullness of God, we are then able to gain understanding from another higher, more advanced spiritual dimension in God.

The various attributes of the Seven Spirits of God are all unique master keys that give us entrance into the many mansions (states of being) of God's Kingdom.

When the truth of Christ's unlimited presence dwelling within us is actualized in our spirit man, we are able to live life in an exceedingly abundant state of prosperity.

We have been given access to the mind of Christ, to see Him for who He truly is, to know His full capacity and to obtain a broader dimension of the future.

Tapping into the imaginative, creative, all-knowing mind of Christ gives us the ability to gain the supremacy of wisdom to move above and beyond all that we can ask, think or even imagine.

PARTAKERS OF THE DIVINE NATURE - A higher call? - God gives us faith when we are born again. Then He puts us in the path of life designed to change our character from the pattern of the world to the pattern of holiness, the very character of God. God admonishes us to give all diligence to His path. He calls us to virtue (moral excellence), to knowledge (intelligence), to temperance (self control, so that we may apply the knowledge), to patience (remaining constant through difficult afflictions), to godliness (our character being conformed to His), to brotherly kindness (philanthropic acts), and finally love (agape, unconditional love). He said in John 15 that if we do not abide in Him and bear fruit that whatever comes will be counted as "nothing." These attributes are all the fruit of the Holy Spirit, but we have a choice to welcome them or to reject them.

Partakers Of The Divine Nature

A higher call?

Larry Chkoreff

Another way I have put it is, Grow or Die!

God gives us faith when we are born again. Then He puts us in the path of life designed to change our character from the pattern of the world to the pattern of holiness, the very character of God.

However, we have a choice, we can cooperate or chose not to cooperate.

Most of us realize the moral corruption that is in our cultures, all of them, no matter where in the world we are living.

Jesus wants us to escape this moral corruption, not by avoiding contact with it in isolation, but by living above it, through the power of the Holy Spirit.

We have all seen too many Christians who are living by the moral code of the world.

God admonishes us in the following Scriptures in 2 Peter 1:3-11 to give all diligence to His path.

He calls us to virtue (moral excellence), to knowledge (intelligence), to temperance (self control, so that we may apply the knowledge), to patience (remaining constant through difficult afflictions), to godliness (our character being conformed to His), to brotherly kindness (philanthropic acts), and finally love (agape, unconditional love).

Obviously, God is not talking about adding some sort of performance-oriented holiness to our lives.

He said in John 15 that if we do not abide in Him and bear fruit that whatever comes will be counted as "nothing."

These attributes are all the fruit of the Holy Spirit, but we have a choice to welcome them or to reject them.

Notice in verse 3, that God calls us to this path by means of His own glory and virtue.

He exposes Himself to us, we sense His holiness, His love, and His greatness, and we are drawn to Him.

We want more of what we have seen and sensed. We have a desire to become as Him to the extent humanly possible.

When I first met the Lord in 1979, He gave me a rare physical sense experience of actually smelling his holiness.

To me it smelled like sun dried white bed sheets blowing in the warm blue California sky.

My mother used to hang out sheets in our back yard to dry, and I can recall the absolute clean smell they would give out.

That of course was back in 1948 prior to smog and pollution.

My reaction to that was a desire to escape the corruption of the world and lay down all of my corrupt moral ethics. It has been a path, not a perfect one, but an upward one.

As we walk this path of life, allowing God to add virtue, knowledge, self-control, patience, godliness, brotherly kindness and love to our character, we see that God has given us a positive and a negative promise.

On the negative side (verse 8) He says that if we fail to walk this path that we will be barren and unfruitful, even unfruitful in the knowledge of God, or in our relationship with Him.

In verse 9 He says that we will be self-deceived, blind, short-sided and will even become oblivious to the fact that we have been cleansed from our sins.

This person will actually think that they are walking in fellowship with God but will be deceived. Boy oh boy, what a warning for all of us!

"Many will say to Me in that day, ‘Lord, Lord, have we not prophesied in Your name, cast out demons in Your name, and done many wonders in Your name?’" (Matthew 7:22).

On the positive side, the promises are

1. That we will partake of the divine nature.

2. That God will supply all of our needs for life (temporal) and godliness (our character) (verse 3).

3. That we will be rich in the knowledge of God (our real time intimacy with Him).

4. That we will never fall (verse 10). "Never fall" means to me, to always be in the center of God’s program for my life, and to always have my needs supplied by His Word.

     It means to know that no matter what affliction is occurring, that everything is all right.

The final promise is that we will have an abundant entry into the Kingdom of God.

I believe that last item refers to walking in the Kingdom here on earth, now, and not having to wait until our body dies. 
.
Remember Moses did not make it to the promise land on this side of eternity, but he finally made it.

His problem was that he misrepresented God’s character to God’s people.

I believe that God uses an incentive program. Not only do we want to never fall, but also, we desire to be close to Him and to please Him.

Those incentives are what should give us the diligence spoken of in this Scripture.

Do you enjoy it when you encounter a believer that "smells" like Jesus?

Would you rather see covetousness or charity? Would you rather see love or selfishness?

Do you enjoy it when a believer sees you as an object to meet their need, or as someone to whom they may help in some way?

How many people do you encounter in church who actually have your best interest as the priority in their life?

How do you feel when you see a Christian "bending the truth?"

How do you feel when you see a Christian who makes excuses for his/her worldly ethics?

Mark Rutland says that we excuse our behaviors by claiming a higher ethic, like "The end justifies the means," or by a lower ethic like "My boss did not know that I left ten minutes early, and he has plenty of business anyway."

Our culture is not supposed to have godly ethics, they don’t know any better. However, I believe that we will be judged, both here and in eternity, for our ethics.

We have been given the path of life in order to escape the corrupt ethics of the world and to live in the virtue of God Himself.

Do you think that we will impact the world by utilizing their own ethics?

One of our sons had a job at a local retail store just before he married. His fellow employees made fun of him for being a moral person and for not having sex before marriage.

He just continued to respond with love, patience, and all of the above attributes. He endured much persecution for one full year.

Finally, one day, one of these employees ran to him in a panic telling him that his life and his marriage were in a mess, and that he had seen God in my son.

He asked my son to counsel him and to pray for him. He stated that he had accepted Jesus as his Lord because of my son’s godly ethics.

We have a higher call.

2 Peter 1:3-11 - "³ as His divine power has given to us all things that pertain to life and godliness, through the knowledge of Him who called us by glory and virtue,

"⁴ By means of these He has bestowed on us His precious and exceeding great promises, so that through them you may escape by flight from the moral decay (rottenness and corruption) that is in the world because of covetousness, lust and greed, and become sharers, partakers of the divine nature (Amplified).

"⁵ But also for this very reason, giving all diligence, add to your faith virtue, to virtue knowledge,

"⁶ to knowledge self-control, to self-control perseverance, to perseverance godliness,

"⁷ to godliness brotherly kindness, and to brotherly kindness love.

"⁸ For if these things are yours and abound, you will be neither barren nor unfruitful in the knowledge of our Lord Jesus Christ.

"⁹ For he who lacks these things is shortsighted, even to blindness, and has forgotten that he was cleansed from his old sins.

"¹⁰ Therefore, brethren, be even more diligent to make your call and election sure, for if you do these things you will never stumble;

"¹¹ for so an entrance will be supplied to you abundantly into the everlasting kingdom of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ."

Larry Chkoreff Is the author of books such as Grow or Die

Carol Chkoreff and Larry Chkoreff never intended to start a ministry like ISOB. We were teaching 8th grade Sunday School at Mt Paran Central and North since 1983. At the same time we were overcoming very challenging circumstances in our lives. I ended up writing about our overcoming through God’s direction and path for these 8th graders. As we were ministering at Mount Paran Safehouse (downtown Atlanta) in 1994-1996, we were asked to develop discipleship lessons for the homeless people. As we did that, the Lord spoke an unexpected promise to us through Psalms 68:11. “The Lord gave the word, great was the host (army) of those that published it.” We had no idea what that meant. But now we do. Writers write, printers print, but publishers distribute. The great host of publishers that we see publishing our books, freely of course, “blows our minds!” These “publishers” are mostly simple pastors in Third World and persecuted nations.

Increase became exponential. From 2005 to 2011 we have developed 15 books that are being distributed in more than 43 nations, in thousands of churches. God has utilized these inner healing and discipleship books to revolutionize tens of thousands of lives. The result has included thousands of salvations, hundreds of new churches planted, and many lives transformed by the Word of God by these simple but profound books. We really do not even try to count or keep track any longer, the reports come in too fast!
