The
Cell
The
Organism Of Christ
By Bob Torango
1 Cor 12:12
12 For as the
body is one, and hath many members, and all the members of that one
body , being many, are one body : so also is Christ.
Eph 4:4-6
4 There is one
body , and one Spirit, even as ye are called in one hope of your
calling;
5 One Lord, one
faith, one baptism,
6 One God and
Father of all, who is above all, and through all, and in you all.
The
Body of Christ is, essentially, a Living Organism of Christ, a
flowing, moving expression of the nature and character of the Living
Christ and is that vehicle which God has ordained to reveal the
intent and purpose of the Father toward His creation. It is vital
for us today to receive a revelation and an insight as to how the
Organism of Christ is to function in the earth and how it ministers
to all the members that make up this living entity. To be truthful,
the modern church is not a fit representation of such a glorious
reality of Christ and His Kingship and Lordship. The present
religious system that calls itself, “The Church”, is a dead,
stagnant compilation of laws and regulations, which is steeped in
elements of methodology, psychology, salesmanship, competitive
marketing, capitalism, political intrigue, backbiting,
competitiveness, ministerial prostitution, pillaging, hatred, lust,
self-worship, celebrity imaging, demigod positioning and many more
man-made characteristics that works toward mutating the original
message and intent of Jesus, the Christ.
The
scriptural description of the Body of Christ is not one of
religious, inbred divisions, wherein there is no flow of life and
glory from one part to another, but the scriptures give an imagery
of a vibrant, life-giving, flowing, organic Body, which is able to
function in unity and oneness throughout all of its vast and
differentiated members. The true Organism of Christ is a divine
expression of such harmony and diversity as would cause all men to
fall down and worship the One that is the Head of such an
expression.
Eph 4:15-16
15 But speaking
the truth in love, may grow up into him in all things, which is the
head, even Christ:
16 From whom the
whole body fitly joined together and compacted by that which every
joint supplieth, according to the effectual working in the measure
of every part, maketh increase of the body unto the edifying of
itself in love.
This is why our hearts break in two when we see what has befallen
the people of God that are eating of the filth and corruption of the
political priesthood of a Babylonian system such as is seen
everywhere today. There are those that are unbelievably faithful to
these systems, sincere believers that have been birthed and raised
in Babylon and know nothing else but that false idol. Even the
priests and pastors of this religious harlot are unaware of what
they are serving, since they themselves have been taught the
doctrines of Babylon and now they are only puppets of the system.
The ministers of the present church system are the genetic offspring
which have been birthed from the damaged gene of an anti-christ
nature, the mark of the beast that has corrupted the original
genetic marker of Christ and has presented an alternative, false
image of the religious Dragon which gives power to the false prophet
and the beast which operates through the carnal mind of man. This
damaged, mutated gene is ancient, going all the way back to the
garden of Eden and has been the driving force in dragging mankind
into the delusional world of the Dragon, which seeks to steal the
souls of God’s creation.
However, the Great and Mighty God of our salvation has a plan! He
will not leave our soul in hell, neither will He suffer His Holy One
to see corruption. Our Deliverer has come, born of a virgin, raised
from the dead, He became our prototype, our true, genetic DNA, our
Pattern Son, the Seed of Life and out of His victory, His Body is
being healed and restored. Even now, the blood of life is starting
to flow and move throughout the vessels and avenues of His great
Organism, bringing life to the dead cells, raising up a priesthood
that is fashioned and formed after His own Priesthood, bringing out
of the silence of creation a new sound, a Voice of the resurrection,
a trumpet that sounds with clarity and certainty, as He forms a new
expression through a Body of priests and kings that will call forth
from the mountain of Zion to the prisoners of Babylon, bringing them
out from despair and death, disannulling their covenant with death
and bringing an end to their agreement with hell.
It is
time for us to learn our true identity in Christ, to allow the Holy
Spirit to teach us the original ways of the Body of Christ and to
renew in our mind and heart the organic connection we have with this
great and immense Organism. We need a fresh viewpoint of what we are
a part of when we say we are “in Christ.” Let us not continue to
walk in Christ with the wrong thinking of the religious systems that
we have come out from. One of the great, false vestiges of our
former imprisonment in the mindset of Babylon is the idea that we
are separate from the rest of mankind, that we are somehow a better,
honored people in God than this world of sinners. Too often, our
minds are still locked into an elitism that continues to tear down
in us the true reason for our being born into this world at such a
time as this. The ages have been waiting for a generation of
messengers to arrive and make an appearance that will begin to
vivify the rest of the Organism of Christ. The people of the Lord
that are still in the Egyptian stronghold of Babylon are starving,
being fed garbage and maggot-riddled bread that has been presented
to them as the Bread of Life, but it is really made up of the old,
molded sermons of idolatry that is served to them on silver trays by
the merchants of the Dragon. These poor saints are drinking from the
golden chalice of a Harlot system and being told it is the blood of
Christ, whereas they are actually drinking the blood of the martyrs
of Christ, which the Whore of Babylon makes all of her subjects
drink in an unthinkable recycling of their own despair. Now is the
time for this to end! Now is the time for you and me to see the
vision of an ORGANISM, not an organization of man’s idea of
religious doctrines and self perpetuation, but a Living Entity of
the Anointed One.
I know
we all have used the term, “The Body of Christ” all of our lives,
and we have all ministered on its various aspects and functions, but
in light of the misrepresentation of the religious systems of today,
I believe we need to see this term in a new light. Since we are
writing on the awesome subject of “The House That God Built”, I
would like to focus our attention on another term, to be used as a
clarifying description of what the biblical authors first meant by
the word, “Body.” This term is “ORGANISM” and there are certain
elements to this new term that I want to draw our attention to.
First, the term “Organism” denotes an obviously descriptive element
that will give us a greater understanding of how the Body of Christ
is to function and flow, through many members but as One Entity. In
this study, we are revealing the True House that God built, and He
built this House, our physical body, in a very particular order of
construction, which we also see in the pattern of the assembly and
disassembly of the Tabernacle of Moses, as the people of Israel
moved from one location to another, having to assemble the tent and
the articles of the tent each time they camped and then had to
repack the tent and the articles each time they moved. The
Tabernacle was assembled from the Holiest Place, outward, with the
ark of the covenant being the first item and then assembling the
rest of the Tabernacle in an outward procession, Holiest of All, The
Holy Place, The Outer Court. Even so, we are writing this volume of
work according to that same pattern. Volume One covered the DNA, the
Ark of the human cell, found in the Nucleolus of the cell, the most
inner sanctum of our cellular tabernacle. Now, we are moving into
the relationship between the Holy Place of the cell, the Nucleus and
the Outer Court of the cell, the Cytoplasm. This three prong
approach to covering this subject is in keeping with the 3
dimensions that God has used as a pattern throughout the birth and
development of His creation, which has been illustrated for us by
the institution of the Feasts of Israel, numbering three, Passover,
Pentecost, Tabernacles. Rather than seeing these as three separate
Feasts, we should see them as a continuum of God's dealing with His
creation, 3 stages, or dimensions, of experiencing the fullness of
Christ, in God the Father.
The
human cell is in itself an ORGANISM, since an organism can be
defined as a cooperation of living elements that join themselves
together to form organs, which may then join themselves to form
systems of organs, which then join themselves to form an ORGANISM.
The more elements that are involved in making up the organism, the
more complex and higher on the ladder of life that organism is
placed. The human body is a very complex organism, and is built from
the cell upward. Our study is based upon this formula.
2 strands of DNA,
one from the mother’s egg, one from the father’s sperm, join
together to form a cell. From that singular cell, 100 trillion cells
are produced, which form together to form organs. Those organs join
with other organs to become systems. Those systems join together to
form the entire Organism. However, it all starts with the organism
of the cell and that is our key to understanding the Organism of
Christ. The Organism that is Christ does not rely upon church
buildings, or a doctrinal platform to exist, it is based upon one
person at a time, with a divine principle of a residing Book of Life
from which all the people of the Lord are made from.
If you
will allow me the freedom to do so, I will describe the biblical
story of sin and salvation through the allegory of the human body as
it illustrates the Body of Christ. The Organism of Christ began with
a strand of spiritual DNA in God, which was Christ, The Word. That
Word joined itself to the spirit of man, in Christ, in God. Out of
that spiritual union, mankind was formed, which became the Organism
of God, made in His image and His likeness. That Organism was
mutated in the garden through a designed disobedience, which
produced a virus called sin, which infected the entire race of
mankind. In order to free His Organism from sin, the Father sent His
Son, Jesus, as an anti-body to the viral infection of sin, which is
done away in Christ. The virus of sin brought physical death into
the Organism, but the anti-body of Christ has negated that viral
death, making it of no effect. In the organism of the human body, a
virus is introduced into the organism and then it attaches itself to
a normal cell. The virus has no power of life on its own, but it is
a lie, an adversary that operates and exists by deceiving the normal
cell into becoming its host. The virus operates just like the Enemy
of our faith operates, through lies and deception, preying upon our
own carnal mind to give a place to him and let him abide in us, as
we become the host of his deception. In the human body, when a virus
attaches itself to a human cell, it uses enzymes to eat through the
protective cellular membrane and the virus then injects the cell
with its viral RNA, (a form of DNA which we will discuss later in
this study) which then eats its way through the nuclear membrane and
then through the membrane of the nucleolus, the Holiest of All of
the cell. Here, it incorporates its genetic material into the DNA of
the cell, re-writing the genetic instructions of the cell, and the
virus is now in control of the cell, having established its viral
government in the throne of the cell, which then begins to mass
produce copies of the viral organism, which brings death and
sickness to other cells. This is the biological process of sickness
and disease in the human body and it is the process by which the
Body of Christ becomes sick and diseased, beginning with a single
cell and then running amuck throughout the Organism.
Ah, but don't despair dear ones, for the Master Biological Engineer
has not left His Body defenseless to this enemy, for as we have
mentioned, cells form with other cells to form organs and those
organs join with other organs to form systems, and those systems
join with other systems to form the Organism. This glorious House
that our God has built with such love and care has been built with a
particular system of cells and organs that will come to our rescue.
This system is our immune system and it has the cure for the
disease. Other cells in the organism are defenseless to the attacks
of pathogens and bacteria, but the cells of the immune system are
trained and equipped from their infancy to attack and destroy all
agents of death and they have the ability to mass produce their
numbers when they finally break the cellular code in the invaders
genetic makeup. God, in His infinite wisdom and knowledge has
designed these viral agents of disease to be marked on their
cellular membrane with a distinctive marker, which identifies them
as Non-Self. This cellular marker of the virus reminds me of what
Paul instructed all believers to do. He mentions 2 different “marks”
to be used by the church to make a distinction between those that
were following Christ and those that had become “infected” and are
not following Christ.
Rom 16:17-18
17 Now I beseech
you, brethren, mark them which cause divisions and offences
contrary to the doctrine which ye have learned; and avoid them.
18 For they that
are such serve not our Lord Jesus Christ, but their own belly; and
by good words and fair speeches deceive the hearts of the simple.
KJV
Phil 3:17-19
17 Brethren,
be followers together of me, and mark them which walk so as ye have
us for an ensample.
18(For many
walk, of whom I have told you often, and now tell you even weeping,
that they are the enemies of the cross of Christ:
19 Whose end is
destruction, whose God is their belly, and whose glory is in their
shame, who mind earthly things.)
As you can see, this follows precisely the pattern of how our
physical body finds and deals with an invader of our organism. Every
normal cell of your body contains a “self antigen”, which it
expresses through its external membrane. It creates a distinct
pattern of knobs or notches on the cells external wall, which
identifies it as being a part of the host Organism. This is
extremely important for us to understand! As our physical body has
this built in genetic identity of SELF versus NON-SELF, even so, the
Body of Christ also has this same “CHRIST-SELF” built into all
creation. Once a normal cell succumbs to a viral infection, it then
is transformed by the viral RNA into a state of “MISSING SELF”,
which is a scientific term for this phenomenon! How true that rings
for the people of the world that are living as spiritually
un-regenerated, separated from the Christ Life. These have been
infected by the ancient “virus” of sin and are now in a state of
“MISSING SELF”, or in the case of our spiritual journey, they are
now identified as a person who is living in a state of “MISSING
CHRIST”, walking through this world under the influence and power of
the spirit of disobedience, principalities and powers of the spirit
dimension. Again, the virus itself if identified as “NON-SELF” but
the infected cell is now identified as “MISSING SELF.” It has not
been classified as not being of the “SELF” organism, but it is now
existing as a host of the virus, without the ability to remember who
it was before the infection. There are multitudes of people today
that have lost their memory of their lineage in Christ, before the
world began, so they are acting out of another nature, the nature of
the Fallen Man, but inside of them, the original DNA of their true
“Christ-SELF” still resides, but it is inactive by reason of their
sin-infection. These are not lost! They are “MISSING-SELF” in
Christ. Do you see how this is being played out in this most crucial
of ages? Babylon has infected its multitude of “host believers” with
its self-propagating genetic material, which causes the captivated
person to now become a prisoner of the organism of the Great Whore.
This is the present state of our fellow cells of the Organism of
Christ. However, God is even now preparing a chosen generation of
priests and kings to become transformed from the image of the earthy
into the image of the heavenly, which is a return to the original
“CHRIST-SELF” which will then be mass produced in every man until
ALL has been restored back into the One from which all mankind came.
The immune system depends upon specialized cells, called
Lymphocytes, to defend the integrity of the organism. There are two
main types of Lymphocytes used in this example of defending the body
from non-self invaders. These 2 types are known as B Cells and T
Cells. B Cells are produced in the bone marrow, where they reside as
“Baby B Cells”. Eventually, they migrate from the bone marrow as
“Immature B Cells”, which are non-activated in this early stage.
Some of these travel to the Spleen gland, where they are matured and
put through an extensive learning process, wherein they are taught
the difference between cells that are “SELF” and cells that are
“NON-SELF”. In this process, they are presented with normal cells,
with normal markers on their cellular membrane. If the B Cell shows
aggression toward any of the normal cells, they are destroyed! It
would be a catastrophe if any of the B Cells were loosed in the
blood stream of the organism with a damaged discernment between what
is “SELF” and “NON-SELF” so the Spleen has a mechanism which it uses
to assure that only “NON-SELF” cells or damaged cells attract the
Lymphocytes to them. The T Cells, or Killer T Cells, go through the
same kind of examination and learning process, except this occurs at
the Thymus gland, which is why it is named a T Cell.
There are 3 stages of the development of the B and T cells from
being sent forth from the Spleen and Thymus gland into the blood
stream, to be activated by the immune response. 1. “ naive
cells” that have matured, left the bone marrow or thymus,
have entered the lymphatic system, but that have yet to encounter
their designated anti-body marker. 2. “effector
cells” that have been activated by their designated
anti-body marker, and are actively involved in eliminating a
pathogen. 3. “memory cells” – the long-lived survivors of
past infections.

Can you apply these terms to those in the Body of Christ that you
have taken note of and can you discern which stage of development
they are at in becoming the “Defenders of the Faith?” I know many
“naïve” Christians today that are just going from one gathering to
another, enjoying the fellowship, listening to the word, singing the
songs, but they have no idea what they are becoming in Christ. They
are “naïve” when it comes to their place in the Body of Christ. I
know others that have become initiated into the Sacred Secret of
their calling and they are being “effective” in their love and care
of the Organism, laying down their lives for the good of the whole.
These are ministering the Word of God and are “hitting the mark” in
their message and life, having an effect upon the Body by their
effectual life-prayer. I also know those in the Body of Christ that
are what we would call, “Old Heads”, not in a derisive way, but in
honor of their long years of service, having ministered through many
different times and seasons without compromise or variance of the
Truth they have received from the Father. They are those that
“remember” the ways of the Lord and help to keep the Body of
believers reminded of the Foundations upon which the Faith is built.
These keep to the course of the spirit, not swayed by every wind of
doctrine, they keep the Body pointed toward the glory and power of
the Kingdom of God, not the kingdom of men.
The T Cells of the immune system response are known as “Killer T
Cells” as they differ from the B Cells in that they are the final
solution to the problem of the invader. They are a disciplined and
mature response to a crisis of the organism and are programmed to
swallow up all agents of death. I liken these cellular warriors unto
the warrior Priest/King ministry that are arrayed in battle gear and
ready to take the Kingdom by cleansing the heavens and spoiling all
principalities and powers that have had God’s people in bondage. The
T Cell, or as my wife, Charlotte, terms it, The Truth Cell, does
indeed have the commission of the Organism to protect the integrity
of the Organism. We are not fighting against flesh and blood,
meaning we are not battling people themselves, but we are tearing
down strongholds in spiritual high places, uprooting generational
bondages, purifying the heavenly atmosphere of the Kingdom of God
and conquering ancient thrones and dominions. Addictions, hurtful
psychological scars, mental disease, will all yield to this Order of
Priest/King. The Organism of Christ has been left defenseless to
these hordes of affliction because there has not been an answer for
them in the church realm. The religious church can only try to cover
over the outward effects of these maladies, but never touching the
root, cellular level of the problem. Now, there is a Word being
formed in the hearts of a chosen priesthood of ministry, that will
bind up the broken hearted, bring hope to the hopeless, give life to
the lifeless and cause Zion to sing her song again. Without the
immune response of the Organism, the whole entity will become sick
and weak, filled with malignancy and cancerous growths. It is the
time for the Immune Response to come forth from us, dear ones! Let
us come into our place in the Lord, present ourselves to Him anew
and receive from Him our awakening into our original mission
statement in Christ.
Once the anti-body finds the unique “non-self” or “missing-self”
marker residing on the outer cellular membrane structure of the
virus or its infected host cells, the anti-body attaches itself to
the non-self entity. As amazing as it may sound, each anti-body of
the immune system has gone through a process of intense schooling,
whereby the anti-body has a catalog within its memory that contains
the entire list of every cellular marker within all 100 trillion
cells. You, my dear friend, have an the entire doctrine, or
constitution, of Christ within you, whether you know it or not, but
we have not availed ourselves to the “school” of the Lord to teach
us what is truly TRUE and what is truly FALSE when it comes to the
genetic makeup of Christ. But, we are now starting to be put through
such a process of discernment and judgment. Once the antibody finds
a non-self marker, then the marker is copied by the anti-body, much
like one might take a key and make a mold of the shape of the
notches, then take it to a key maker to make copies of that key, so
the antibody passes on that viral marker and “flags” the infected
cell. That genetic key is then taken to the bone marrow where it is
used to mass produce anti-bodies that are specifically activated to
become “hunters” of any cells that bear that genetic signature. This
immune response can also be initiated by the introduction of a
vaccine into the Organism. This is how Polio has been held at bay
and many other infectious diseases, by solving the genetic code for
each disease type and then using dead viral cells, they inject a
healthy body with the harmless viral cells and the immune response
produces defenders of that particular type of virus, which in turn
causes the new antibodies to patrol the organism looking for any
invader that has that particular marker, which if it encounters such
a viral cell, it will flag it and bring an end to its invasion. One
of the more amazing truths that we can apply this biological process
unto in Christ, is that Jesus became our immune response by
overcoming death, hell and the grave.
Col 2:13-15
13 And you,
being dead in your sins and the uncircumcision of your flesh, hath
he quickened together with him, having forgiven you all trespasses;
14 Blotting out
the handwriting of ordinances that was against us, which was
contrary to us, and took it out of the way, nailing it to his cross;
15 And having
spoiled principalities and powers, he made a shew of them openly,
triumphing over them in it. KJV
Jesus
has become as us, to deliver us from the infection of death, by
reason of His victory over death. He has possessed the “code” of
death and has given to us the Keys of that Code as Kingdom Keys. We
are the offspring of that Truth Cell that Jesus became and now we
are being placed in front of His throne, in the throne room of God,
as judgment comes to all of the deliverers to qualify them as fit to
judge with the righteous judgment of God. God judges through love,
not bitterness or hate. The cells of the Organism of Christ have to
be judged by the “Christ-Self”, so the infected, host cells of sin
and death can die to that false, viral nature and be raised to life
into the original Nature of Christ. Since Jesus has the Keys, He is
able to raise us from the deadness of our viral life and bring us
into resurrection, birthing us into His Life.
In the same vein of hope and encouragement, we see how sick the
Organism of Christ is at this time, paralyzed with divisions and
strife, organs of ministry pitted against other organs of ministry,
this group of believers battling that group of believers, all of the
parts cut off from one another, putrefying sores that won’t heal,
wounds that will not mend, cells that are being taken over and
reprogrammed from their original identity with Christ. Baptist
against Pentecostal, Pentecostal against Catholics, Catholics
against Episcopalians and so on. It gets worse, when you consider
that not only is it Baptist against Pentecostal, but it is Baptist
against other Baptists, Southern against Missionary, and Pentecostal
Church of God against Assembly of God and so on. It is an insanity
that has infected every organ of the Body of Christ, but God is
forming an organism within the Organism, a system within the systems
of this great Organism, that will bring restoration and life to this
groaning creation. 144,000 overcoming agents of Christ,
Light-Bearers of that True Light, Heralds of a New Day, they are
being fitted and equipped with the genetic code of the virus of
death and they will be put on open display by their Father to bring
life and light throughout this great Organism of Christ. These are
heirs of the Kingdom, a man-child order that is even now in the
Throne Room, being transformed and transfigured into that divine,
genetic code of The Son, taking on His glory, being changed at the
very foundational root of their existence. The viral instructions
that have resided in them, as it has in all men, is being confronted
and removed, leaving behind the original genetic code that contains
the very essence of their Father, a grand restorative act of mind,
heart, soul and body.
There is no exemptions from this divisive nature of a sick organism,
not even amongst those that have come into a deeper understanding of
God’s plan of salvation for all men. We are just as divisive as the
denominations of the harlot church system! Right now, we have a
Heinz 57 variety of so called, “Kingdom Groups”, which has caused
confusion and disorientation throughout the ranks of those that have
come out from the Babylonian systems into what we thought would be a
harmonious and loving organism of reconciliation and truth, a
veritable paradise of loving, caring believers who have the keys of
God’s kingdom in their heart and mind. Hah! It is hardly that, for
those that have left the walled cities of Babylon, only to find
themselves in a desert of seclusion, with no fellowship or contact
from anyone that resembles a harmonious Organism of Christ. What we
have come to find in our Kingdom groups are the same infectious
traits of organized religion, such as envy, jealousy, meanness,
murderous words, divisions over the most minute differences. It
hurts and embarrasses me to have to say it, but it must be said in
order for us to be healed and return back to our roots in Christ.
There are far too many cases in this word of Truth and
Reconciliation where love is only a word, a term that is used to
grease the palm of others, a conman’s tool to gain the confidence of
the unsuspecting and the innocent. There are just as many agendas in
our circles as there are in the competitive ranks of the religious
charlatans, hidden intentions, drawing aside the weak and the young
in order to prey upon them and bring them under control. God help
us! We cannot continue down this path of thinking, where we think we
are the only ones that God is moving through, or that He has
verified to be His spokesperson. The true Organism of Christ is so
vast, so far beyond what we have thought was the bonafide and
exclusive company of true believers that it would cause us to have a
brain freeze if we only knew how inclusive the Organism of God truly
is.
Just so it is plain as to where I am speaking from, when it comes to
the Organism of Christ, I want us to know that there can be any
number of individual organisms within the total Organism. Just as I
have written in the beginning of this chapter, our total Organism of
our human body includes over 100 trillion cells and each cell has
the characteristics to be termed an organism. Within each cell,
there are cellular “organelles”, which are microscopic organs, which
operate within the cellular membrane, keeping the cell functioning
through an economy of energy transfer, nutritional intake, garbage
pickup and removal, building and maintaining the cellular organism,
all of which operates in the exact manner of union and harmony as
the larger organism that it is a part of. Each cellular organism has
an innate knowledge of being a member of a much larger entity than
itself, which causes it to have a sense of “self”, belonging to that
larger “self” that it functions within. If an individual cell never
physically comes into contact with other cells of that organism,
such as the heart cell never having any real contact from a toe
cell, it still has a sense of each part of the organism. That sense
of the larger “self” comes from the common genetic identity each
cell shares with the original strand of DNA from which each cell was
formed. This familial relationship each cell shares is what causes
our cells to give themselves to more than just a cellular existence,
but it is wholeheartedly involved in an organic existence, which is
the nature of Christ, to be organic and to have constant flow and
movement throughout the organism that Christ is.
As we read the following scripture, I would like for us to see how
far the Organism of Christ reaches, far beyond the form and
structure of the church as we know it to be.
Col 1:15-20
15[Now] He is
the exact likeness of the unseen God [the visible representation of
the invisible]; He is the Firstborn of all creation.
16 For it was in
Him that all things were created, in heaven and on earth, things
seen and things unseen, whether thrones, dominions, rulers, or
authorities; all things were created and exist through Him [by His
service, intervention] and in and for Him.
17 And He
Himself existed before all things, and in Him all things consist
(cohere, are held together). [Prov 8:22-31.]
18 He also is
the Head of [His] body, the church; seeing He is the Beginning, the
Firstborn from among the dead, so that He alone in everything and in
every respect might occupy the chief place [stand first and be
preeminent].
19 For it has
pleased [the Father] that all the divine fullness (the sum total of
the divine perfection, powers, and attributes) should dwell in Him
permanently.
20 And God
purposed that through ( by the service, the intervention of) Him
[the Son] all things should be completely reconciled back to
Himself, whether on earth or in heaven, as through Him, [the Father]
made peace by means of the blood of His cross. AMP
There is no doubt
that although the church is an organism in Christ, it is not the
total Organism that is held together and contained by the Christ.
Case in point, the Bride of Christ is an organism, the Sons of God
ministry is an organism, the church offices of maintenance and
perfection are an organism, all of which make up together, the
ORGANISM. What does the Organism of Christ entail? Everything seen
and everything not seen, earth and heaven along with all that they
contain, all powers everywhere, all creation everywhere, both which
we know about and the much more infinite amount of creation that we
know nothing about, it is all serviced and intervened upon by the
systematic relationship of the unsearchable riches which make up
this colossal Organism, Christ. Realizing how truly small we are in
comparison to the totality of the Organism of Christ, reminds me of
the blow that the ego of mankind took when they realized the earth
was not the center of our solar system, that the sun DID NOT revolve
around the earth, as our ego tried to deceive us into believing, but
our earth revolves around the sun, as did all the other planets in
our system. Ah, did you notice that same word again, “SYSTEM”, which
is also used in describing the symbiotic relationship that certain
organs develop with other organs that function together in a
complementary manner, thus creating a “system” of organs, a
mini-organism that serves the larger Organism. So, perhaps we can
see how you can go to the most tiniest of all structures, the atom,
and see how it functions as an organism, a system of protons and
neutrons, quarks and whatever else there is within that organism,
which then functions with other atomic organisms to give structure
and function to the planetary systems themselves. Thus, we see
organisms, within organisms, systems within systems, all having been
created IN Christ, not just for Christ, or by Christ, but IN Christ,
being the Body of Christ, which includes the Church, but also
includes ALL Systems and Organisms throughout God’s vast creation.
Well, that adds a little wood to the fire, doesn’t it? So, dear
child of God, you thought the sole purpose of our ministry of life
and reconciliation was to just develop the most perfect, tidy set of
theological truisms we could muster up, try to talk about this grand
scheme of the ages with at least enough intelligence that we would
not be laughed off the stage of religious higher thinking and try to
convert as many of those poor Denominational Christians as we could
before we retired to our home in the sky? Is that really how shallow
and self-contained our vision has been concerning the Body of
Christ? I would hope not. However, as always with such a God of
Wonders, what we have seen concerning the Church and the Body of
Christ is about as short-sighted as the view that the un-hatched
chick has concerning the organism it is involved in, the inside of
the egg. That egg represents how little some folks have seen and
comprehended when considering the Organism of Christ. But, wait,
what is that I hear? A sound of pecking, I believe. An instinctual
discontent to be satisfied with the world of the egg, a pounding on
the walls of our perception, a frantic struggle to break out of the
smallness that we have been functioning in and a gut-wrenching
desire to cross over into a world of immeasurable possibilities. Oh
yes, sons of God, I hear you pecking your way out of the narrowness
of ourselves into that that immense height, depth, length and
breadth that Christ is, I hear your cry and your groaning to come
into another expression, into a realm of consequence and weight, to
be able to speak to the systems of the creation of God and to bring
order and Kingdom authority to bear upon all of the unbalanced
systems operating within a limited life. Dare I say it? Dare I
declare that our ministry of Word and Light is going to bring
everything into a restitution of the ages, which will change the
church, which will change the world, which will bring together both
the living and the dead, those present and those absent will be
ministered to out from this organism of overcomers, which in turn
will infuse all men, everywhere, with the power of His resurrection.
But, there is still more, faithful companions, there is far more.
The Trumpet that we will blow will vibrate beyond the church, beyond
the un-regenerated creatures of Adam, beyond the gates of hell and
the gates of heaven, beyond the New Jerusalem, beyond the Heavenly
Sanhedrin Council, reaching out to the very farthest star, the Word
from behind the veil of our flesh will bring all things everywhere
into the power and the economy of the Organism of Christ, which will
bring all dominions, thrones, principalities, powers, authorities,
celestial and terrestrial, to the farthest points of the galaxies,
down to the smallest particles of the atoms, this Word will change
the molecular constellation of the entire creation, animate and
inanimate, organic and inorganic, there begins a FLOW from the
hearts of God’s chosen creation, MAN, which is the centerpiece of
all that has issued forth from the creative expression of the
Father, for out of Man will come a government that will regenerate a
fallen universe and birth a supernova of God-Life!
It is
not time for “small-speak,” for we are in a critical hour of God's
plan that demands us to learn the language of “large-speak.” By that
I mean, if we speak of these things from the perspective of our egg
existence, we will never have an impact on the larger part of God’s
world. I pray that our words become larger and heavier when it comes
to the spiritual realities of Christ. If we only see Him as the man
from Galilee, then we will only speak about a small part of what He
is, but if we see Him as He IS, then our words will become larger as
we start to join ourselves to His greater salvation that He has
prepared for His chosen creation. Now, lest any think I am getting
ahead of myself, let me say plainly, Christ died for our sins and we
are the heirs of that salvation. His first restorative process is to
reconstitute mankind with the original genetic DNA they partook of
before the foundations of the ages, as this plan of salvation began
before the age of sin and will continue on after the age of grace.
In the larger picture of God’s plan for the ages, the lowly creature
that is called, MAN, will become the very express image of the
Father, not in a reflective way, a surface likeness and radiance,
but this MAN will be tabernacled by God in the most intimate and
foundational manner one could imagine. The root word for Tabernacles
in the Hebrew language, gives the implication of an entwinement, a
fusion of God and man, which gives rise to what is termed in the
scriptures, “A New Creature” or, “A New Species of Creature.” Have
no doubt, no one has ever seen anything like the New Man that is
being formed in Christ, a new representation of God, both earth and
heaven, both spirit and natural, both God and man, a God-man so to
speak. Only this kind of systematic-organism can speak to all things
from the point of redemptive man, a creature that has known both
death and life and has gone to both the depths of hell and the
heights of heaven. This is why the Father subjected this deformed
creature to vanity, leaving him to crawl through the dust like a
serpent, and to know the depths of depravity and corruption. This
poor, destitute creature was going to have the distinct honor to
know what it is to be totally hopeless in his mutated condition of
sin and corruption, to be a prisoner of his own self-destructive
nature, to live in a divided house, cursed with the knowledge of
good and evil, constantly at odds with a faint, almost imperceptible
urge to reconnect with his former estate in the Father and another
overpowering urge to deny that relationship with an unknown god and
thus causing this tragic creature to seek his own deity and
self-existence. Oh yes, dear ones, this was not some whimsical
punishment wrought upon this creature by a Child-God that is
wreaking havoc on this MAN like a child would wreak havoc on an ant
hill. There was great honor being bestowed upon this race of
mankind, a love that only a God that IS LOVE could bestow upon this
divided mess of mankind, for out of this hopelessness, out of the
depths of this depraved earth-man, there was to come a NEW MAN in
Christ, an HEIR of the riches of Christ, out of the disgustful
ugliness of this dusty anomaly there would come forth a WHOLE MAN,
altogether lovely, each part of his entity having come out of
darkness, out of hell, out of death and now standing on Mt Zion, a
Corporate Man of such beauty and grace, so altogether harmonious and
lively is this New Man that the angels stand before him in heavenly
admiration. Out of this Compound Man comes a voice of such
multiplicity and harmonious resonance that the creation starts to
hope again for the final act of union and fusion to be completed.
When this New Organism begins to sound the “new sound” of a new age
of consummation and completion, the heavens will begin to descend
into the earth and a new heaven and a new earth will begin to form.
Again, the process of restitution and reconstitution will and must
begin at the atomic level and work its way outward, from the holiest
of all in the very center of all things created will come forth a
life-force that will ripple outward until it has touched and
transformed every system and organism that makes up the totality of
the Organism of Christ. Nothing will remain untouched and unchanged.
Darkness, death, evil, sin, things above the earth, things in the
earth, things below the earth, all will be partakers of the Divine
Nature Activated by the rising of the Son.
The
totality of the Organism of Christ, the “all things” that it
entails, groans for this cleansing and healing response from the
priest/king organism that is being formed. Within the tables of our
heart, there is contained the genetic code for the deliverance of
creation. Right now, we are ministering to our particular organism
and the organs and cells that make up this expression of the Early
First Fruits of Christ’s victory. We are the covenantal guarantee of
Christ’s power to raise up other sons in His name/nature and with
His Christ expression. We will be the proof that He did not abide as
a lone Seed, but that out of that First Seed, there comes the power
to raise many seeds. The First Son will have a harvest of many sons,
so that those sons will incorporate themselves into the
manifestation of Christ in this world. I pray we will put away our
childish ideas of individualized sonship and allow the Father to
instruct us in the knowledge and understanding of what true sonship
means, not for our own sake, but for the sake of creation.
