Intimacy with God in Oneness

“I beseech you therefore, brethren, by the mercies of God, that ye present your bodies a living sacrifice, holy, acceptable unto God, which is your reasonable service.  And be not conformed to this world: but be ye transformed by the renewing of your mind, that ye may prove what that good, and acceptable, and perfect, will of God is.  For I say, through the grace given unto me, to every man that is among you, not to think of himself more highly than he ought to think; but to think soberly, according as God hath dealt to every man the measure of faith” (Romans 12:1-3).

If it's just you and your Bible on a deserted island, and God is right there with you, guess what you cannot do? You can't pick and choose what pages to pull and say, well, that doesn't apply to me, or that doesn't apply to me. You must understand that it all applies to each of us first. Before we can give away the love of God, we must understand what the love of God is transforming within ourselves.

Paul wrote chapter 12 in Romans after he wrote chapter 8:1-4, “There is therefore now no condemnation to them which are in Christ Jesus, who walk not after the flesh, but after the Spirit, for the law of the Spirit of life in Christ Jesus hath made me free from the law of sin and death.  For what the law could not do, in that it was weak through the flesh, God sent his own Son in the likeness of sinful flesh, and for sin, condemned sin in the flesh: That the righteousness of the law might be fulfilled in us, who walk not after the flesh, but after the Spirit.”

So, what the Lord showed me when He said, “Set the captives free,” He was saying, “Set the captive free in me.” I began this by receiving the mercies of God daily, which are new every morning (Lamentations 3:22-23). See, the mercy seat of God is the Holy of Holies. That's my internal experience of what was going on inside my spirit and soul. Where is the throne of God? It's within my heart. What is my heart trying to say when I wake up each morning, and are my thoughts welcoming the mercies of God as a Holy Kiss that says, “Good morning, it is a new day and a new beginning?” 

From that morning, awakened by the Beloved, my heart pumps this message of Life through my blood, and that blood is going to my brain through my neck, my mouth, everything. It's all going into my brain. As I present my body as a living and holy sacrifice acceptable to God, which I'm supposed to do, that is my spiritual worship service. This is a place of intimacy as a new creation in Christ, not just lifting my hands and singing praises to the Lord. I present myself, spirit, soul, and body to Christ Jesus as my Beloved, who is with me while I sleep, saying, “This is your holy temple.”

Paul discussed this in 1 Corinthians 6:15-17, “Know ye not that your bodies are the members of Christ? shall I then take the members of Christ and make them the members of a harlot? God forbid. What? know ye not that he which is joined to a harlot is one body? for two, saith he, shall be one flesh. But he that is joined unto the Lord is one spirit.”

Acknowledging that we need to glorify God with our bodies goes beyond what we eat and drink, how we exercise, and how we rest. It also encompasses more than just our mental or physical well-being. What if all of that was wiped away? What if you did everything right in those areas of life yet still lacked the love that Jesus spoke about: to love the Lord your God with all your heart? How do you love the Lord with all your spirit, soul, and body?

This question prompts deeper reflection. The Holy Spirit revealed how blood functions as it circulates throughout our body. What we observe in the natural world illustrates blood's behavior, especially when energized. If it spun very high, the high priest had to consistently stir it to prevent coagulation when entering the Holy of Holies. We, too, can boldly approach the throne of God. As the high priest in the Old Testament sprinkled the mercy seat with seven drops of blood, that number is significant. Those drops represent light energy. 

Your brain, especially during PET scans searching for cancer, lights up. It is so filled with light that they can't find out if there's any cancer in it. They can find out in the rest of your body from your neck down because they put you on a special fast of no sugar or carbohydrates. If your body lights up from the neck down during the test, they are suspicious of cancer, but if they can't do that, your brain automatically will light up for a PET scan. When we think of what Paul wrote in Romans 12:2, “Do not be conformed to this world but be transformed by the renewing of your mind. That you may prove what the will of God is. That which is good and acceptable and perfect.” This is going to get deep, but I hope it excites you.

I hope this helps you realize the healing works within you for the body of Christ. It’s not just about prayer or simply hoping; it's not a hit-or-miss approach, wondering if the scriptures will work or questioning if you're praying enough. Instead, it’s about standing firm on the word of God. The word of God resides within you, and because you carry His name, you embody His nature. Christ in you is the hope of glory manifesting. From this heart of the throne room, the Holy of Holies sends blood to your brain. As this blood flows, it brings high-speed energy; it's light. Your brain functions as an electrical field, where you're transforming your thoughts—first, your brain is adorned with the mind of Christ. 

This is good. You are seated with him in heavenly places at the mercy seat of Christ within you. Now, with that, we will start to nourish the body. As we nourish the body, we descend along the spine. The Lord revealed this to me, one day at a time. Count the Omer; count the number of bones in your spine and how each bone has a specific domain for transmitting nerves, tissues, energy, and signals like little flags of familiarity regarding what is happening within your physical body. Your body is simply responding to something that is occurring. If your heart feels anxious and panicky, it is trying to signal that you are under stress. This stress is a factor in what your soul confronts and recognizes as familiar.

How do we bring the mind of Christ to override that stress? How do we keep ourselves in the mind of Christ? If we don't know what's happening, how do we lay hands on the body? That's the good news. That’s where the Holy Spirit showed me that I first had to go to the mercy seat of God boldly. Hebrews 4:16 says, “Let us, therefore, come boldly unto the throne of grace, that we may obtain mercy, and find grace to help in time of need.” He explained that as the mind of Christ comes down in Romans 12, it is like a top rainbow. If you study other religions, it may sound like a chakra of energy. The hang-up with that idea is that chakra energies often start from the tailbone and go up. However, as Christ intends, we start with the head and come down. We begin with mercy because the mercy seat of God—grace, mercy, the love of God—is all there.

Let’s look at our spine starting from our head. We begin with the cervical neck region, counting the vertebrae C1, C2, C3, C4, C5, C6, and C7 from the top down the spine. Think of the “C” as Christ. Christ one, Christ two, Christ three, Christ four, Christ five, Christ six, and Christ seven. What are these dealing with? If we go from the mind of Christ, C1 would be mercy. C2 would be the ruler. C3 would be a giver. C4 would be an exhorter. C5 would be a teacher. C6 would be a servant. And C7 would be a prophet.

“So, we, being many, are one body in Christ, and every one member one of another. Having then gifts differing according to the grace that is given to us, whether prophecy, let us prophesy according to the proportion of faith; Or ministry, let us wait on our ministering: or he that teaches, on teaching; Or he that exhorted, on exhortation: he that giveth, let him do it with simplicity; he that rules, with diligence; he that showeth mercy, with cheerfulness. Let love be without dissimulation. Abhor that which is evil; cleave to that which is good” (Romans 12:5-9).

 

There is the unveiling of a rainbow. Did you know that if you look at a rainbow, it is always splitting colors in the same exact order, but the eternalness of the rainbow is always the darkest? Everything about the rainbow is the split energy of light. 

God is LIGHT, and in HIM, there is no darkness. “This then is the message which we have heard of him, and declare unto you, that God is light, and in him is no darkness at all” (1 John 1:5). This means that there are no black lines between the colors of the rainbow, but areas where God is that are yet to be unveiled in us. When the mind of Christ is the husband of our spirit, soul, and body, there is a washing of His Word with His LIGHT, LIFE, and LOVE, sending forth the prism of a rainbow of color energy and healing sounds in us. This prism of energy, of His Word, becomes flesh and dwells among men (John 1:14). This intimacy of oneness with Christ as the husband and lover of our being sets us free from the captivity that limited whom God created us to be. “That he presents you to himself a glorious church, not having spot, or wrinkle, or any such thing; but that you are holy and without blemish” (Ephesians 5:27). 

On the first day of Resurrection morning, I start counting the Omer as part of the resurrection of Christ within me. Everything about this defines who Jesus is to you as the Resurrection, not merely as the Nazarene who walked the earth healing people as the Son of God in human form. Today, Jesus embodies the Resurrection and the omnipresence of God. Ask yourself, where is He coming from if He is already present?

The coming of the Lord is about Him coming out of us, moving, and having our being with him in heavenly places. It is not about having a little bit of a relationship with Christ Jesus in my natural body and then having a full relationship with Him when I leave my body and go to the other side.  Paul says in 2 Corinthians 5:17-19, “Therefore if any man is in Christ, he is a new creature: old things are passed away; behold, all things become new. And all things are of God, who hath reconciled us to himself by Jesus Christ, and hath given to us the ministry of reconciliation; To wit, that God was in Christ, reconciling the world unto himself, not imputing their trespasses unto them; and hath committed unto us the word of reconciliation.”

How do I do this? One day at a time, I count the Omer in a relationship as Christ in me as me. In Matthew 17:5-8 we read about an incident on the mountain of transformation where fear gripped all the disciples. “While he yet spoke, behold, a bright cloud overshadowed them: and behold a voice out of the cloud, which said, this is my beloved Son, in whom I am well pleased; hear ye him.  And when the disciples heard it, they fell on their faces and were so afraid. And Jesus touched them, saying, Arise, and be not afraid. And when they had lifted their eyes, they saw no man, save Jesus only.”

Another story we read in Luke 7:7-16 after Jesus touched the coffin and said to the dead man, “Young man, I say to you, arise,” there was fear among all witnessing a dead person coming back to life just by the touch of Jesus and Him speaking Life. See, the Passover wasn't just Jesus's death, hell, and grave experience; it was ours, too. Jesus didn't just stay in the grave. He walked through the valley of the shadow of death, and then He arose. That's what we can do because, in John 8:51, John is the disciple who gave us the finished work to process first and then go to the finished work of the mercy seat. If you're already seated on the mercy seat, you're trickling down on the rainbow. Jesus said 8:51, “Truly, truly, I say to you, if anyone keeps my word, he shall never see death.”

If anyone keeps My word, they shall never taste of death. 

What do you see? What do you hear? These are all your senses. What is this all about? That's part of the rainbow because the mercy seat represents royalty in purple. From a position of being seated with Christ in heavenly places, what are you seeing? Are you only seeing Christ, or are you seeing both good and evil? 

Do you know who you are to God? Are you only listening to the voice of your heavenly Father? When we arrive on the other side as part of the cloud of witnesses, we only hear, see, and experience Christ. Taste the Word. He has food we do not know of unless we can see and taste that the Lord is good. Not just a little bit of good on earth, but the goodness God declared good in the beginning. 

When we see that, which becomes our lips—not the double-mindedness—it trickles into our hearts. God told me to start with the knowing. The term "knowing" implies intimacy; it’s not merely head knowledge. Start with the understanding that you embody the excellence of perfection and divine presence here and now, with the ability to manifest God's power and authority because He dwells in you today. Where God is, there you are also. And where you are is where God is, for Christ in you is the hope of glory (Colossians 1:27). “As He is, so are you in this world today” (1 John 4:17).
