Living In The Already Not Yet

by Kevin Ford

If we believe that we are made in God’s image as the Word says, then we have no beginning and no end. We are eternal. Our natural bodies obviously do exist. We see that which we interact with on a daily basis in this earthly realm; but there is a greater reality that most of us normally don’t see with our natural eyes and the truth is, this dimension is as real as that which we don’t see.  One could say that becoming “whole” would be the realization of this truth, or as our friend Apostle Jim Chosa says, “Revival is awakening to that which already is.”

Now the quantum law of the observer states that when you focus on something, everything else diminishes and fades away. This fact is established in Romans 8:1 AMP – Therefore, [there is] now no condemnation (no adjudging guilty of wrong) for those who are in Christ Jesus, who live [and] walk not after the dictates of the flesh, but after the dictates of the Spirit.

We are merely stating that when you listen and respond, i.e., walk after the dictates {verbal instructions} of the Holy Spirit, you are surrounding yourself with the Word becoming Flesh – Jesus the Christ the acute present anointing. You come to know Christ in the deepest most intimate way and, in doing so, you Know the Father.

Thus, the things of earth gently fade away. Our focus changes, our desires are enveloped in an eternal atmosphere, and our vision becomes His vision.

This is actually practicing the First Great Commandment, “Love the Lord your God with all your Heart ….” Which brings us to the second Great Commandment, the fulfillment of the First,  “Love your neighbor as yourself.”

The language of eternal life  releases eternity into now time.  Matthew 12:24 states, “Out of the abundance of the heart the mouth speaks.”  If we are listening to and resounding the voice of the Father, then our heart releases what’s in His heart.  Our words are one of the vehicles that brings Heaven to earth. In essence, we are resounding the sound of Heaven. Our very breath, if mixed with faith, becomes the prayer of agreement with the WILL of the Creator. This is the spark of all life, the passion of The Father, the substance of Heaven.  We are producing the proof that ” The Kingdom has come” and His will is being done on earth as it is in Heaven.

We get to live in the abundance that is our inheritance now, and we do not have to wait for the “sweet by and by.”  The best part is that we get to co-labor with the Father of Lights in living out our destiny as is His desire. We get to live in the already  ‘not yet…”

Heaven come to earth!
