Hi, Fellow Students of the word!
The following comment on one of the articles here is too meaty and encouraging not to post it as a guest article. Thank you for sharing these thoughts with us, De! I heartily recommend that you stop by De's forum site: Koffi-Time, for more thoughts on our heavenly calling in Christ according to the rightly divided word.
"I'm NOT one for labels, but until a year or so ago those who do label would consider me "mid-acts"...
I truly love to study... as I studied I began to pray that the eyes of my understanding would be enlightened... the same prayer that Paul prayed for the Ephesians.
One evening as I studied I SAW and I UNDERSTOOD with CLARITY and PURE UNADULTERATED KNOWLEDGE... God blessing Gentiles THROUGH Israel and then God blessing Gentiles WITH Israel under the blessings of covenants of promise. But Now... in this present dispensation God is blessing Gentiles APART from Israel according to His Sacred Secret. That is to say I KNOW first hand that which God had hidden in Himself... LIFE in the LIGHT for Gentiles according to THE Mystery... and I joyfully crossed the dispensational border with my Father.
The moment I saw with the clear eyes of my heart, I remember saying out loud, "I'll be darned, what Debbie believes really is true."
I have never for one moment doubted that my Father heard my prayer and answered it... for I have had this wonderful PEACE that passes all human knowledge and understanding... and the clarity of the word of TRUTH just gets clearer and more solid daily.
I said all of that to say this... crossing the border at my Father's dividing line has caused me to KNOW the REALITY of my RIGHTFUL PLACE, i.e. I'm seated with Jesus Christ who is even now seated in His RIGHTFUL PLACE... far above ALL heavens... far above ALL principalities and powers!
If you do NOT yet see our Father's dispensational border, pray the prayer Paul prayed for the Ephesians (Eph. 1:16-23)... I'll be holding out HOPE for you... I can hardly wait to hear of the next Saint who rightly divides the word of TRUTH, RIGHTLY. Praise His Holy Name!"
