God’s Translators

In answer to a comment made on my previous post, I have read the recommended “God’s Translator’s” by Kim Clement. Thanks for that, Jeff. I couldn’t find it on Kim Clement’s website, but I did find it here, http://tinyurl.com/dnx826

Kim is essentially saying there are three stages of translating a truth given us by God. The birth, the death and the resurrection, or Revelation (the discovery of the truth), Illumination (understanding of that truth), and Inspiration (communication of that truth).

During each of these phases, you are given the ability to translate a portion or a piece of God’s script.

What I love about this is we are all of one body and that body is Christ. Christ is an anointing of all that God is, love, mercy, justice, grace, truth, etc. Though no member of the body is made to be identical to another, we are each a representation of His image. Everyone unique and special.

This is why we shouldn’t ever refuse someone just because they come in a different ‘flavour’ than we are used to. We may very well be rejecting the Lord Himself when we do that.

Revelation is the opening up of a new understanding to us. So we can expect many things to be different than what we previously understood. If God should choose to bring that truth aspect of Himself to you through one you were not very comfortable receiving from, what is that? Is it not your flesh that is uncomfortable? We have been crucified, so get over it. Seek to hear, see and know the Spirit of the Lord in all things.

As we go through the process Kim Clement outlines we grow in our knowledge of the Lord. And a true translator of the word and truth of God is the Word made flesh. WE are the translator’s because WE are the message. As His word transforms US into His image, we are the message. This is not what Kim said in his article, this is me translating his message into what I know the truth to be.

I get frustrated with God being preached as ‘out there somewhere’. He is IN US. We are IN HIM. He is transforming US into His image. Jesus is the word made flesh, the firstborn of many brethren. He is the pattern Son. There are yet to be more Sons of God revealed, and they can and will only be revealed when they have come unto the full measure of the stature of Christ. We come unto that full measure by being transformed here and now, before death, before the end, and all in the process of our lives here and now.

There is no other message that gets me more excited than sharing this. We are being transformed into His nature! Out of our nature and into His!

Kim Clement speaks to many people all the time. He is revered as a prophet of God and people follow his ministry. Should he not know yet that he is to be conformed and made into the image of Christ? As a prophet, other than his prophecies, should this not be the message he brings? Should this not be the reason others look to him, because he is an aspect of the Word made flesh? Is that not why the world should look on us (believers) as a wonder?

I think Christendom gets a little too excited about signs and wonders, even prophecies, without realizing God intends for US to be the true sign and wonder that dispels the myth of mortality and death being as grim and morbid as it is. There is an eternal hope, a way and means of overcoming sin and death, which is CHRIST and Him crucified, dead, buried and resurrected.

Unless we translate God’s message of hope, love, grace and salvation with the proof of our lives (our nature, not our bank accounts and tithing record or gifts to charities), it’s just a sales pitch. My previous post about Ted Haggard touches on that. Ted said that he had preached on God coming for the unrighteous, but now he KNOWS He came for the unrighteous. Ted has now become a translation and a living proof of that truth and that word coming from him, now has power. Not a fleshly persuasive power, but the power of the word of God to change one who hears it by the spirit drawing him to God.

There is truly nothing greater, nothing more fantastic and wonderful than God changing us into His image. My spiritual walk is completely preoccupied with this. In submitting myself to Him for this work in every moment of my life, this is my ministry to Him. I live out from there and my life becomes a ministry to anyone and everyone in any way and every way as I am who I am in Christ. To me, this is worship.

I welcome your take on what I’ve shared. It is entirely how I see it and I know others may view things differently. Even if my message is not what you’re used to, I hope you seek the Lord and His Spirit in it anyway. I will seek the Spirit and anything God would have to share with me from your responses.

 

Now is the Time

God seems to be saying much lately, and the volume is increasing. I’m hearing Him in my dreams, hearing Him speak during fellowship with other saints, through books, scriptures, movies, television, and conversations with unbelievers. And all these forms in just one week!

But the message is the same: Now’s the time. Today is the day. This is it. You’ve been hearing about it. You’ve prayed for it. You’ve known it would come during this generation. Now you are going to see what you have been talking about, longing for and praying for.

In one of my recent dreams the day was fast turning into night. This really stood out to me. In another dream a comment was made emphasizing the morning. I had a witness in the Spirit about it being significant. We are definitely at the end of one day and the beginning of another.

Just as Jesus brought in a new day with His crucifixion and resurrection, He is now, speedily, ushering in the next day after that.

I am excited but bracing myself too. Obviously the revealing of the Sons of God is a wonderful and glorious thing. But we are about to experience things, in the spirit and the natural, that we haven’t before. I think that is going to shake us a little. I liken it to the feeling one might get jumping out of an airplane for the first time, but before the parachute opens and safety is sure. It’s very sobering.

For far too long we haven’t seen much Life in our words and our walk, for ourselves and for others. But now we will begin to see. We won’t just see the miracles of people raised from the dead and illnesses healed (those are wonderful!), but we will see much more as well. Greater works than Jesus did! Maybe we will simply walk by someone and suddenly they will have revelation of Christ! Maybe an entire crowd will!

We will see Christ answer people through us just as the Spirit did through Jesus, speaking only what the Father told him to speak, and as He walked for three and a half years testifying of God, His love and grace and salvation for ALL!

I’m getting tingles.
