His Glorious Perfection

The new man is God’s greater creation as a good and holy chamber for the perfection of His Presence and Word to dwell within and shine out from. 

Did you know, if you have been born again, that within your new man right this very second, there is no sin, no iniquity, no transgressions, but there is true holiness, true righteousness and the true Law of God – you are a perfected new man! And, by the way, the true Law of God within you is not the type and shadow which was written on substitutionary tablets of stone, but it is the real deal, the very octane of His Presence and Heavenly order!

So how do we access and live from within to without from this inner re-created perfected new man? It is important to know that God is not interested in making our old man better, nor redeeming our old man. His instruction is to crucify that sucker all together! We can think of the old man as an outer encasement of a seed, it is a profound limitation of self-containment. But when the outer encasement is broken off or dies, then the miraculous new life within springs forth. 

We need to know, that from and by His perfect deposit within us, we work out, like a seedling growing out from the encasement of its shell, we learn and practice from within to without – not without to within! We are not trying to become perfect, we have been perfected - past tense, already done and never to be reversed. What's even more thrilling is that all our desired second chances are present tense for those who believe!

Most assuredly, I say to you, unless a grain of wheat falls into the ground and dies, it remains alone; but if it dies, it produces much grain. John 12:24

Think about if Jesus would have said, “Once I rise on the third day, the Law will be irrelevant!” If He said that, Jesus would have spoken against Himself as the manifest Word of God and against us, His new creation with the Word indwelling – ALL that He was about to re-create as He made all things new! The Promise of the Father was the New Covenant, which is:

But this is the covenant that I will make with the house of Israel after those days, says the Lord: I will put My law in their minds, and write it on their hearts; and I will be their God, and they shall be My people. Jerm 31:33

For this is My blood of the new covenant, which is shed for many for the remission of sins. Matt 26:28

When the Law detailed the Tabernacle, it was a life-size picture of Jesus andddddd us, in our recreated new self! There were three parts: the Outer Court, which represents our body, the Inner Court, which represents our soul, and the Holy of Holies, which represents our spirit. Within the Holy of Holies was the Ark of the Covenant, which represents our inner-most being, The ark was made out of shittim wood, which represents our humanity. It was overlaid with gold from within to without, which represents how God sanctifies us! 

Within the Ark of the Covenant was the Rod of Aaron that budded, which represents God’s miraculous authority, the pot of manna, which represents God’s miraculous provision, and the Ten Commandments, which represents God’s miraculous Word! All of this was crowned with the golden Mercy Seat on top, upon which the High Priest put the Blood of Atonement upon to activate all the wonders within!

When we are born again, then we are repositioned, regenerated, renewed, and recreated as His royal authorities! We are the only ones authorized within the universe to bear His Holy Image and commissioned to model His Infinite Perfection which is beyond time and space, glowing from within our hearts into time and space – our original commission. This is good news!

Sure, we may not look or sound perfect on the outside, but that is just the noisy old man dying, that is of course, if you are proactively dying to the old man! Our sojourn, beloved, is to learn, discover and be absolutely thrilled that Jesus has already placed His glorious perfection right smack dab in the middle of us! We have access by faith to the nuclear power of the new man through His cross. And by picking up our cross (a summarized word phrase for dying to the outer encasement of the old man), we activate God’s Kingdom both in ourselves and the atmosphere all around us as His authorized priesthood on earth,

Coming to Him as to a living stone, rejected indeed by men, but chosen by God and precious, you also, as living stones, are being built up a spiritual house, a holy priesthood, to offer up spiritual sacrifices acceptable to God through Jesus Christ…But you are a chosen generation, a royal priesthood, a holy nation, His own special people… 1 Pet2:2-9
