1. Powerful Changes

By Ron McGatlin
Powerful changes are taking place among believers today. Religious forms and practices are giving way to a reality of spiritual experience of Christ being formed in His people. Our spirit is becoming one with the Spirit of Christ within the container of our bodies and souls producing a new life that is no longer we that live but Christ living in us. Spirit to spirit the two become one. “But he who is joined to the Lord is one spirit with Him.” ~Paul~
Here is a link to my previous article One with God Reality.
Kriston has written an excellent article on our being transformed into the life of Christ in us by the work of the cross of Christ and the end of our uncrucified self will.

Keep on pursuing love. It never fails
and His kingdom never ends.

2, Revelation and Transformation

By Kriston Couchey

DIVINE REVELATION
And Simon Peter answered and said, You are the Christ, the Son of the living God. And Jesus answered and said to him, Blessed are you, Simon Barjona: for flesh and blood has not revealed it to you, but my Father which is in heaven. 2000 years ago Father revealed Himself to mankind through Jesus Christ. This divine revelation came as Father Himself revealed Christ to men by Holy Spirit. Peter heard others say who they thought Jesus was, but it was divine revelation by Father that revealed Jesus as the Christ, the Son of God. Since Pentecost, by means of the indwelling Holy Spirit, Father continues to reveal Himself in Christ, not as a principle to follow, but as the Living Word Himself who reveals Christ to us, Christ in us, and Christ through us.

THE SEED OF CHRIST TRANSFORMS
Every seed produces after its own kind. The revelation of Jesus Christ (the Word) is the seed planted by Holy Spirit that in time brings transformation into the image of Christ. The seed is Christ, the fruit of that seed is Christ in us! An explosion of revelation of who God really is as seen in Christ is upon us. His sons are being transformed into revelations of the Word Himself. This divine revelation of "Christ in us" will transform the earth. All of creation groans for this. Revelation will come – transformation depends upon the heart condition of those receiving the revelation of Christ. The right condition is the soil of a heart that submits its self to the death of the cross. 

EMBRACING THE CROSS
Then said Jesus to his disciples, If any man will come after me, let him deny himself, and take up his cross, and follow me. The greatest enemy of the revelation of Christ is not a devil. The greatest enemy of revelation of Jesus Christ is man's uncrucified self will. The devil has no power without the uncrucified flesh of men that gives him reign. Man's flesh needs no devil to resist the will of God. The power base of "antiChrist" is uncrucified flesh. The spirit of antiChrist is only enabled as men yield their uncrucified flesh to that foul spirit.

After receiving the revelation of who Jesus was; Peter rebuked Jesus for talking of His own death on the cross. Even with the revelation of Jesus Christ, Peter could not experience transformation until He embraced the cross of Christ, and then his own cross. Peter HAD revelation of Christ, but his transformation at Pentecost came after an ugly process of death to his self will. We all have at times been like Peter, having revelation, but not fully embracing the transforming work of the cross.

Paul told Timothy: Take heed to thyself, and to thy teaching. Continue in these things; for in doing this thou shalt save both thyself and them that hear thee. Paul understood that for Timothy to have revelation did not guarantee his transformation. Paul knew the manifestation of the Christ Life depended upon the death of his self will. He continued to "die daily" in order that He might continue to be conformed to Christ. We must not recognize men according to the flesh, or even on the basis of revelation given to them, but by the measure of Christ Himself they manifest.

REVELATION TO TRANSFORMATION

The divine revelation of Christ produces inner transformation as the Living Word Himself transforms our spirit, heart, and mind. In this hour we are going to see the revelation of Christ in His people as never seen before in history. To the measure we are willing to receive the revelation of Christ to us, in us, and through us, is the measure that Father will transform and conform us to Him. The submission of our lives as living sacrifices to the death of the cross allows the transforming revelation of Christ's life to be revealed in us. We are complete in Him, and it will be seen in reality, not simply in words.

Of this church I was made a minister according to the stewardship from God bestowed on me for your benefit, so that I might fully carry out the preaching of the word of God, that is, the mystery which has been hidden from the past ages and generations, but has now been manifested to His saints, to whom God willed to make known what is the riches of the glory of this mystery among the Gentiles, which is Christ in you, the hope of glory. We proclaim Him, admonishing every man and teaching every man with all wisdom, so that we may present every man complete in Christ. ~Paul~

In His Love

The push for adversity only goes so far, and in the UK it seems to stop short of including Christians.
