^{Acts 17:27} “That they should seek the Lord, if haply they might feel after him, and find him, though he be not far from every one of us:” ²⁸ “For in him we live, and move, and have our being; as certain also of your own poets have said, For we are also his offspring.“

It feels good to live, and move, and have my being in You, Lord. The blessings we could only realize if we slowed down to count them. All of mankind have been born into a world living, moving, and having their being under the invisible privilege granted by an All Present God.

As I was praying to God it just came to me, If feels good to live, and move, and have my being in You Lord, but it even feels better when You, Lord, live, and move, and have your being inside of me. The last part sounded loud and clear of having a good is okay, but with God is absolutely better.

As a child, I have such fond memories. I discovered, if I said something to my nine older than me brother he would chase me and tickle me. It felt great to live, move, and have my being. I found out if I ran behind my twelve year older than me sister that she would tell my brother to leave me alone as I clung to one of her legs not taller than her knee cap laughing up a storm at my brother.

My scheming to get the attention from my older brother and running behind my sister did not always pan out to be my solid refuge. I persuaded my brother into chasing me and running behind my sister turned out to be a mistake. My sister proceeded to tell my brother to “get him, saying his name“, “get him…” and the tickling began while my refuge was gone. It felt great to be alive, moving freely, and having my being. My world was perfect as far as I knew.

God had granted me a family to live, and move, and have my being with such loving care. My dad would scoop me up in his arms and scratch my cheek with his unshaven cheek while I giggled and fought him off. My family never let me know we were financially poor. The love and attention filled my life, my actions, and my presence with happiness and joy that made me feel rich. It felt great to live, move, and have my being.

As time went on and my twelve year older than me sister moved out. The activity in the house became a little less than what I was use to. I just knew she was no longer there, but not sure why. My nine year older brother than me also became less and less at the house. He was in his teenager years as I was growing for four years old up to nine years old. Daily life became a challenge to occupy myself.

While my brother was gone, I went out back to his leopard skinned bicycle and attempted to ride it while crashing several times. He never caught riding his bike. Life was still good living, moving, and having my being only just a little bit more lonely. It was a good life with a good family.

One day my brother told me, I was mistake. I went to my mom asking her was I a mistake. I could imagine looking up into her eyes as she was searching for an answer to appease me. She told me that they took years to prepare for me, which was a fantastic answer to the truth of actually being a mistake. It felt great to live, move, and have my being with my family God had granted me to born into.

The day came for my brother to leave home and join the military. I wanted one more little chase and one more little tickle from him. Standing before him along with my mom and my dad as a nine year old little boy, I said the key words from times past to get him to chase me. I said, “I hate you” and the usual response was “Oh, yeah…” then a chase was to start, but this time the words were spoken and no response was given with only the silence of goodbye.

He boarded the plane and as a little nine year old boy was left in the airport with the last words to the brother he loved was “I hate you“. I was still good in living, moving, and having my being, but it was now at nine years old as an only child. Dad worked three jobs and mom worked full time as I was put in other people’s care. My invisible playmate became God because I heard about Him in Sunday School that He was everywhere. We played in the woods together and I would walk home just talking up a storm with Him. Living, moving, and having my being was still good.

As I grew older, meeting not so good kids in the neighborhood life became filled with not so good things. “Try this…“, “Try that…“, “do this…“, and “do that…” became the peer pressure of evil deeds. In all those years doing things that were bad. I was still living, moving, and having my being under the grace of God fully in tact even though the status of my mind, heart, and soul was changing for the worse.

Then came the morning while sitting in the balcony of the farthest seat in church that I was made to go to. A still small voice whispered into my thoughts, “Try Me, you have tried everything else“. So, somehow, I got the courage to go down front of the church and start this trial basis relationship with God.

I made strict rules with the God about the friendship and fellowship that we would would have, even though He gave me the ability to live, move, and have my being in Him. I wanted a straight up relationship with no lies only pure truth. The reason for the rules was because of the lies, deceptions, and being used by people, even church people were not what they claimed to be (disclaimer, not all of them).

The journey began by establishing another rule. I would not believe a person about the Bible unless it perfectly matched scripturally and God approved it. Don’t piece scriptures together to try to fool me. My life journey was still filled with people who lied, try to take advantage, and manipulate things in my life, which drove me deeper into the Bible with more questions for God to show me the way, the truth, and the life I should choose to live. Truth became all I want.

I worked at an amusement park called, Magic World. A person saw me reading the Bible and said to me did I know no one in the entire Bible was ever baptized in the Father, in the Son, and the Holy Ghost (Mtt. 28:19), which I had been baptized that way. Well, he was talking about my best Friend God and His Bible. I kindly listened, but did not accept what he said until I could research and prove otherwise.

The next few days, I studied the Bible intently while relying upon God to show me the truth in His word and not the word of a man because that was the rule between God and me. I only found that the people in the Bible were baptized in Jesus name and no record of a baptism in the Father, Son, and Holy Ghost. So, Biblically he was right and God showed me that is the right way to be baptized and the reason for it.

Water baptism was symbolic of being buried in death with Jesus ^{Rom. 6:3, 4} and the blood of forgiveness was inside the name of Jesus washing away all my sins ^{Acts 2:38}. This was a fantastic revelation and understanding from God. I told the man I found my proof for Jesus name baptism more than I did Father, Son, and Holy Ghost. He then proceeded to tell me the outpouring of God’s Spirit is just like God did on His apostles in Acts Chapter two. It still happens today.

Okay, here I go again not believing him, but doing my own research privately with God and His word. The two things I was searching for was ‘did it stop‘ and ‘was it for today‘. The speaking in another language as God gives you the utterance was a little bit more than I could swallow, pardon the pun. Again, I found the scriptures about God pouring out His Spirit to all generations to come and as many as He shall call ^{Acts 2:39}.

As a child and a young man I was living, moving, and having my being in God, but I was not at that time seeking for God to live, move, and have His being in me. I started my personal prayers with God “if You want me to have this outpouring of Your Spirit experience, then I want it“. My relationship was directly with God and His Word, not allowing anyone between me and God. You let me live in You why not let You live in me?

A year or so went by and no infilling of the Holy Ghost like Acts chapter two. I was living a good live with God, moving around, and having my everyday being with Him was all that mattered. I did not feel worthy of the outpouring of His Spirit like the apostles, but His scriptures said He was the same yesterday, today, and forever ^{Heb. 13:8}.

One Sunday evening service the altar was made and I always quietly went to the right side, kneeling down, and having a person prayer with God. As I was softly speaking a prayer, I felt spiritually, a Holy Powerful Spirit presence come over me as though I was on Holy ground.

My whole body was covered with this Holy Spirit presence. I felt something wonderful coming into my soul filling my insides with such a joy unspeakable and a Holy divine changing power. It became so powerful all over me and inside me that my English prayer speaking words slowly became words of another language I did not know. This was Him! I knew it! He was going to give me the gift of the Holy Ghost as promised to all.

I had complete clarity of mind that this was Holy, Holy, Holy, the Lord God Almighty living, and moving, and having His being make residence inside with my spirit, fulfilling the born again of the Spirit portion Jesus told Nicodemus ^{Jn. 3}. By this time, I had already been rebaptized in Jesus name fulfilling the born of the water part, which applied his blood of forgiveness washing away all my sins ^{Acts 2:38}.

Life totally changed for me. Now, God was living, moving, and having His being inside me guiding me into all truth daily, even the truth about myself. Life was good before, but now it is far better. The revelation of freely living, moving, and having our being in Him while in this world is a gift and a privilege. It feels far better when God lives, moves, and has His being inside of you guiding you into His glorious Light.

Life is not true life until the Giver of Life lives inside, behind your eyes, your thoughts, and actions. I prayed to God that it does feel good to live, move and have my being in Him in this world, but it is far more greater to me for Him to live, and move, and have His being freely inside of me with no restrictions. God be Yourself inside me as You allow me to be myself inside you. What more powerful request could you give God than to have a oneness of fellowship from both sides completely free in being themselves?

You and I are blessed to live, move, and have our being in this life, but a better life is for God to live, move, and have His being inside of us before we leave this life.

THIS IS THE WAY

^{Acts 2:27} “That they should seek the Lord, if haply they might feel after him, and find him, though he be not far from every one of us:“

THIS IS THE TRUTH

^{Acts 1:8} “But ye shall receive power, after that the Holy Ghost is come upon you: and ye shall be witnesses unto me both in Jerusalem, and in all Judaea, and in Samaria, and unto the uttermost part of the earth.“

THIS IS THE LIFE

^{Acts 2:38} “Then Peter said unto them, Repent, and be baptized every one of you in the name of Jesus Christ for the remission of sins, and ye shall receive the gift of the Holy Ghost.“

THIS IS THE PROMISE

³⁹ “For the promise is unto you, and to your children, and to all that are afar off, even as many as the Lord our God shall call.“

God let us live together in complete Oneness.

Starting at a young age walking through the memories of things spoken and things done, the thought of “I Should Have Been Somebody Else” takes front stage in your mind, heart, and soul. The “what if” steps in and says the outcome of your actions should have taken you down a different path turning you into someone else. The roller coaster ride of emotions takes you from the high dropping you down into the low state of depression, sadness, and the wishing things were different.

I feel this message is from God hearing your thoughts and silent prayers for change. He wants you to know He hears you and feels your pain. He is calling out to you during this time to “try Him” because you have tried everything else. He hears you, just listen to Him saying, “try Me“.

BAD THINGS

Do you think about the person that got you to try something that has a history of being an addiction? They pressured you into “come on, try it“. You tried it and continued to do it under the pressure of that person or persons in your young life. Now, you look back and think of the addiction that “I Should Have Been Somebody Else“.

Looking back at the memories of the smoking, the drugs, the alcohol, the sex, and the breaking of the law you know “I Should Have Been Somebody Else“. Cancer, withered bodies, liver diseases, perversions, and the jails is where you should have been. You and some of those around you ended up being that person, or you can see that could have easily been you.

Some of you are thinking I should have been pregnant. I should have been a teenage father or mother. I should have been an drug addict. I should have been in jail. I should have been dead. I should have been an alcoholic. I should have been in the worse of worse situations.

I am a drug addict and “I Should Have Been Somebody Else“. I am a chain smoker with horrible health issues and “I Should Have Been Somebody Else“. I am an alcoholic and “I Should Have Been Somebody Else“. I am hooked on sex and “I Should Have Been Somebody Else“. I am criminal and “I Should Have Been Somebody Else“. I do have children with other people and “I Should Have Been Somebody Else“.

Life beats me up everyday when I open my eyes, go do my daily thing, and realizing this is not me. “I Should Have Been Somebody Else“. I am in a prison without bars. My jailer is doing my daily routine and going home. I am empty when people around thing I am okay. They have no idea I wish I was somebody else, doing something else, and living somewhere else.

DOING SOMETHING ELSE

I’ve done my time trying to make a living day by day, fighting the addictions, and trying to say no. The work I am doing is not satisfying as to what I think I should be doing. “I Should Have Been Somebody Else“. I am trying to make things right and it does not seem I can get back there where “I Should Have Been Somebody Else“. The invisible bars of time have me marching the repetitive halls turning and repeat.

“I Should Have Been Somebody Else” like a teacher in school watching kids faces light up with the light bulb of understanding when they get it. “I Should Have Been Somebody Else” like a coach passing on the “you can do it” confidence builder. “I Should Have Been Somebody Else” like a fireman, a police officer, a medical person, a preacher/missionary, a better father, a better mother, or just a good person.

I do what I do hoping one day I could be that someone else. I feel like life has trapped me into doing what I do and won’t let me out. There is no good answer or a good way out. “I Should Have Been Somebody Else“. The good I have done is not enough and the bad I have done was too much. I need to be that somebody else to feel the true freedom of my soul.

BAD DECISIONS

Looking back in your mind at all the decisions made from the youth and to the present. I have absolutely no doubt “I Should Have Been Somebody Else“. Cain killed his brother Abel out of jealousy. If I had not killed my brother “I Should Have Been Somebody Else“. King David lusted over another man’s wife and committed adultery with her. If I had only focused my desire in the right direction “I Should Have Been Somebody Else” that was much stronger. Pharaoh’s stubbornness hurt his people and brought death to many people. If I had only obeyed God “I Should Have Been Somebody Else” and the people would be safe.

If I had just said no to the “just try it, you’ll like it” pressure. I would not have the scars in my memories. If I had just passed on the alcohol pressure and drank a soda laughing with them. I would not be deceived by the alcohol telling me the stress is gone, all is well, and just feel good. If I had said no to him or her I would not have the memories of drawing others into the physical fleshly endorphins. If I had just said no and did something else I would not be in trouble with the law. The “what ifs” can make you image the “I Should Have Been Somebody Else“.

All the decisions that I have made could have gone in so many different directions. The “what if” I had chose better routes screams loudly at me “I Should Have Been Somebody Else“. The waves of thoughts show me I could have been a good person and/or I could have been a really bad person.

GOOD OR BAD

If you think you are a good person or a bad person you can still have the thoughts “I Should Have Been Somebody Else“. The greatest comfort you could ever have in your life is the God factor. Having God in your life helps with what you thought your future should have been. Having fellowship with God everyday helps with the day to day grind when you think you should be doing something else.

People around you may not believe in you or your abilities, but God loves you just as you are even if you think you messed up the plan He had for your life. God will help you with your past decisions, your past actions, and your past failures. The Bible is full of people with a wide spectrum of failures and God helped them to make things right in the end.

I agree with you that “I Should Have Been Somebody Else“, but you are not. The “somebody” you are right now in the present is the most important. Not in the past or in the future, but what you are right now is the most important. When you and I physically die it will not be in the past or in the future. Our death will be in the present status and condition of our soul. How is your present relationship with God?

Don’t let the thoughts of “I should’ve been somebody else, somewhere else, and doing something else” tear you down. Live right now in the present with God, who gives you that second chance that no one else can. You do not have the power within yourself to change the past or change the present without bringing more harm.

The drugs, alcohol, sex, and breaking the law will never give the peace for the torched soul within your body. Your flesh has only momentarily highs, but your soul is starving eternally to death. Everything in the world is temporary substance, but your soul can only be fed eternal substance for true satisfaction.

The somebody else you want to be should be the somebody who is loved and accepted by God, no matter the status quo this world places upon you. No one can fight the loneliness and unsatisfied life you are living like God can. The fellowship with His Spirit and His word will take you places with spiritual highs far beyond all the pleasures this limited world can give you. What the world gives is only a short time of death, but what God gives you is all life.

GOD IS BIGGER

When you read God’s word you find ^{Jn. 3:16}  “For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life.” God loves you for who you are and not the somebody you think you should be. If you lock your faith and belief upon Him the gift is going to be beyond the self you are that is perishing daily to the person who has everlasting life.

Say with all your mind, heart, and soul, I believe in you, God. I am walking your way to talk with you and to explore a relationship with you to see where it may go. Immediately, you feel a warm light glowing from within your heart and your mind when you lock down this decision. Now, you are open to what God has to say.

What do I need to do to get this beyond this world relationship going? God wants to fulfill and satisfy “I Should Have Been Somebody Else“. You should be one of His, under His protection, and have a one way ticket to heaven. The things of this world have all of mankind in a bondage of pretending to satisfy, but never able to truly finish the job completely. It always leave you wanting more.

Praying is simply talking to God as yourself and not a form of speech from others. God has a gift for all of us releasing us from the bondage and limits of this world. To open that door of fellowship with God is to turn your back on the awful things of this world. In the Bible it is known as repenting and turning away. Talking to God is letting Him know you are done with the lying and sinful things you have tried in this world.

God provided a way of escape from this world’s slavery upon your soul and the temptations of your flesh. God came to this world inside of Jesus the man to free us from sin by his pure and innocent blood, paying the price of death in our place, but coming back to life from the grave creating a doorway to heaven.

God offers this open door to wash away in complete forgiveness all past sins and present sins from your life. Once you step through this door you will be placed inside the household God has created for you inside the body of Jesus Christ. If you are baptized, submerged under water, in the name of Jesus Christ the power of his blood from the sacrifice of his body on the cross will be applied to you washing away all your sins. You will have a forgiven and clean slate before God. Doesn’t that sound awesome? That is a somebody I want to be.

God is not finished with you, yet. It has only begun. God has a gift for you. In your fellowshipping prayers/talk with God He said, ^{Acts 1:8}  “But ye shall receive power, after that the Holy Ghost is come upon you…” Wow, God wants to visit you personally and give you the power of His presence inside you, the Holy Spirit. You want to change “I Should Have Been Somebody Else“? God wants to give you the power to change yourself and a package deal of Him being with you in fellowship forever.

You can be anywhere praying/talking with God for Him to give you the power of His Spirit. You can be home, your apartment, in your parked vehicle, outside with nature, or anywhere else that no one can interfere with your talk with God to receive this gift from Him.

How will you know this power of the Holy Ghost comes upon you? Well, there were some people praying in an upstairs room that the power of God’s Spirit came upon them, went down inside their soul, and came back out changing their native language words into the power of the Spirit words and language God was guiding them to speak ^{Acts 2:2-4}. This was a sign to them they had receive the power of the Holy Ghost. This is absolutely real power from on high redeeming your eternal soul to an acceptable status with God.

This sounds amazing and beyond this world. Well, it is God touching your eternal soul with His eternal Spirit gifting you with a sample of what heaven will be like completely free from the sins of this world. I know the questions are just flooding your mind. This is a promise from God to those in the Bible then, to all generations and to us today ^{Acts 2:39} until He comes back to the earth to close out the rest of His promises. You can start having a spiritual oneness fellowship with God right now.

“I Should Have Been Somebody Else“, is God calling you to be one of His children and to stop beating yourself up with what you think you should be in this world. You should be getting higher on God than the drugs. You should be drinking deeply of God’s Spirit, quenching your everlasting thirst more than alcohol could ever do. You should be experiencing spiritual highs that the tallest mountain in the world, the highest atmosphere of the earth, and the farthermost planet in the universe could ever offer.

God offers you an endless journey, discovering yourself, and knowing Him that is a satisfaction beyond all things. What you must do to enter into God’s beautiful fellowship is wrapped up in one scripture.

^{Acts 2:38}  “Then Peter said unto them, Repent, and be baptized every one of you in the name of Jesus Christ for the remission of sins, and ye shall receive the gift of the Holy Ghost.“

Welcome to being the somebody you could not have imagined of ever becoming to be. May your walk with God be an endless journey of wonderous truths.

I saw in my mind, a pitch black wall that continually goes on as far as the eye can see from left to right and from top to bottom, but there is someone standing in front of this wall. I see a white silhouette of a person standing in front of this endless dark wall completely cutting off the other side. There is no opening anywhere to be seen in this evil dark wall of sin with only this person standing there facing it.

The white silhouette person disappeared leaving nothing, but the darkness. A small scene opens up and I see a left arm being stretched out onto a piece of wood nailing it into place and in the dark wall at the same time an opening forms equal to the left arm with light shining through holding a permanent place.

I see movement on the right side with an arm being laid out on a piece of wood being nailed into place. The black wall opens to the right with more light shining through, holding a permanent place. The image becomes more clear as the legs are stretched out on the wood with the feet being nailed into place. The black wall of sin trying to resist another opening down towards the feet with even more light shines through making a permanent opening.

I see a man’s head with a crown of thorns pressed down, bringing forth streams of blood, laid backwards onto the wood as the black wall gives way, and stretching the opening wider with the light shining through this man’s out stretched arms, legs, and head. The black dark wall is still completely covering as far as the eye can, but in this one area it has an opening that it cannot close.

Above the man’s head, nailed to the cross made of wood, I could see a plague with the words, “This Is Jesus The King Of The Jews” ^{Mtt. 27:37} The wall of darkness was trying to close, but the blood from the hands, feet and head held open the doorway in the evil sin filled wall.

In the stillness a voice speaks out, “…Father, forgive them; for they know not what they do…” and with a loud voice “…he said, Father, into thy hands I commend my spirit…he gave up the ghost.” and died. ^{Luke 23:34, 46} The dark evil wall built up a serge of strength believing it could close the light shining opening once this man was dead. With all the power of evil coming against that opening they could not close the opening because the Almighty hands of God accepted the blood sacrifice holding it open permanently.

DOOR FORMING

At there very moment there was a sense of waiting and anticipation that things were not completely finished yet. The white silhouette of a person appeared inside the dark black prison walls where other captives were imprisoned after they died. He had descended into the lower parts of the earth ^{Eph. 4:9}. For three days the darkness could not overpower the opening in its wall. God’s light was still shining through it freely towards mankind that was trapped inside.

On the third day, what was anticipated began to happen as the white silhouette of a person started walking out of the prison of death and not one step he took could be stopped. He was once dead, but now is alive for evermore. The dark place of death could hold him no longer. He took the keys of death and he took the keys of hell for his blood and the forgiveness of the Father through him permanently opened a door through the endless evil dark wall separating mankind from God.

He returns to his body inside the burial tomb after three days transfiguring the fleshly body into an eternal body made to pass from heaven to earth and earth to heaven through the only door in this black wall dome of evil imprisoning mankind in sin. Jesus said, ^{Rev. 1:18} “I am he that liveth, and was dead; and, behold, I am alive for evermore, Amen; and have the keys of hell and of death.” ^{Jn. 11:25} “…I am the resurrection, and the life: he that believeth in me, though he were dead, yet shall he live:” The doorway was finished.

Jesus passed through the opening in the dark evil wall that he had made with his blood, his death, his burial, and his resurrection. Jesus, the man, returned to heaven having control of the keys of death and hell. The name of the door is Jesus and the dark wall of evil cannot close it because God accepted his payment for mankind’s debt of death and hell.

Jesus is on the other side in the light of heaven with the keys of death and hell, but before he left he gave the keys to the kingdom to a man called Peter. Jesus is free to come and go throughout all the earth, but mankind needs the keys to the kingdom of heaven to be able to go through the only door in the black wall.

PERMISSION TO PASS THROUGH THE DOOR

Peter handed out the keys to the kingdom of heaven on what we need to do to have the same freedom as Jesus. ^{Acts 2:38} “Then Peter said unto them, Repent, and be baptized every one of you in the name of Jesus Christ for the remission of sins, and ye shall receive the gift of the Holy Ghost.” The keys to the kingdom of heaven has two basic elements to be fulfilled for us to enjoy that same freedom otherwise our death will hit and miss that opening in the way of darkness.

The opening in the black dark wall was made by a born again of the water and of the spirit ^{Jn. 3}  Jesus knew all of his blood, death, and burial would be applied to us in water baptism when his name, Jesus, is spoken over us removing our sins, otherwise we would die sticking to the dark wall of death. Jesus also knew it would take the power of his resurrected eternal Spirit to convert our sinful eternal spirit into a new creature in Christ ^{2 Cor.5:17} to have the power to pass from the earth through his door to eternal life with God.

^{Jn. 14:6} “Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me.” Jesus is that opening in the black wall of death providing us a way, giving us the truth with the keys of heaven, and the power of his life to come to the Father.

THERE IS A DOOR

I, now, see in my mind, a pitch black wall that continually goes on as far as the eye can see from left to right and from top to bottom, but there is a single doorway of light shinning through it. The door appears to have red pristine blood at the top of the door and on both sides of the right and the left along with the blood at the feet of the threshold.

My memory quickly takes me back to the deliverance of the Jews from Pharaoh when they took the blood of a lamb painting it over the top and sides of their doors for the death angel to pass by their house ^{Ex. 12:7}. When John saw Jesus in the New Testament he said, ²⁹ “…Behold the Lamb of God, which taketh away the sin of the world.” We must enter the door that Jesus has covered with his blood.

In the dark wall of death where there was no door. This new door formed by God and Jesus had a name above the door – “JESUS“. You could tell this door with heavenly light had the power of salvation in it and there was no other doorway between heaven and earth whereby mankind must be saved. ^{Acts 4:12} On the right side of the door was written “Repent” and on the left side of the door was written “Be baptized in Jesus name to remove your sins“. At the foot of the threshold was written “receive the gift of the Holy Ghost for the transforming power to enter in“.

Here we are standing in front of this open door God has provided with the key steps written all around it and how to enter in leaving us with the choice of the black wall of death or agreeing with the steps of eternal life. You and I are in the days people are saying salvation is over here and over there. There are so many voices pretending to be the keys to the kingdom of heaven that if these days are not shortened the very elect of God could possibly be deceived ^{Mtt. 24:22-24}. We cannot gamble our eternal soul on what people say, but by what God says in His word.

Jesus has the keys of hell and death under his control and Jesus gave Peter the keys of the Kingdom of heaven in his control. Jesus took his keys back to heaven and Peter stayed here on earth handing out the keys of salvation to all who will listen. Are you locked behind the door of death and hell? Do you want your door to be unlocked to see and enter into the fellowship of heaven with God that loves you so much He came in the form of man to save you? Do you really want to know freedom for your hungry soul?

^{Heb. 2:14} “Forasmuch then as the children are partakers of flesh and blood, he also himself likewise took part of the same; that through death he might destroy him that had the power of death, that is, the devil;“

Walk through the door in Jesus name, repenting of your sins, being baptized in Jesus name to remove all your sins, and receive the gift of the Holy Ghost with power transforming your soul. You will never be the same. May God richly bless you with His fellowship until He comes back.

Jesus, the man, sealed his will in the garden the night before they came to crucify him. Jesus, the man, prayed ^{Luke 22:42} “Saying, Father, if thou be willing, remove this cup from me: nevertheless not my will, but thine, be done“. Jesus, the man, took his will and the blood of his life as a man among us and sealed it with what was God’s will.

My will is to trust Your will. Jesus sealed his will with his life’s blood to God’s spiritual eternal will. The unbreakable will of salvation merged that night from his blood to God’s Spirit. The man, Jesus, agreed to face death through the will of God, trusting his will, and his blood would be enough to raise him on the other side. This was the covenant that nothing can break being bonded into a oneness of wills with man and God.

My life is Your Life, your will is my will was the final seal when Jesus decided “…not my will, but thine, be done“. This was the night Jesus was taken to be wiped with 40 stripes, a crown of thorns shoved on his head, mocked, spit upon, and nailed on a wooden cross to die the death for mankind. Jesus sealed his will by his blood to God’s spiritual will. God gave all authority to Jesus to save mankind through the blood in his name.

I see that night, the merging will of the man Jesus becoming one in the Spirit will of God sealing a blood covenant acceptable for all the sin debts of mankind. Jesus is the son whom ^{Jn. 3:35} “The Father loveth the Son, and hath given all things into his hand.” Adam could not be that son God wanted, falling to selfish sin, but Jesus was the man God could trust a full oneness relationship and a place God Himself could dwell inside bonding a togetherness of man and Spirit to save us from our sin.

When the Spirit of God created a baby boy inside of a virgin woman named Mary, it was the body of one hundred percent flesh with pure blood and without sin. A fleshly vessel Almighty God could dwell in. The amazing thing about this baby Jesus was he grew as all of mankind grows, but with a will inside him to be and do the will of God. He wanted to be one with God. We all should want that oneness with God.

Every day the man Jesus lived in the flesh surrendering his will and joining it with God’s will to be done. The woman caught in adultery by the law was to be stoned to death, but God‘s will for that woman was to forgive her through the blood and mercy of Jesus joining his will with God in the forgiveness of that woman. Jesus joined his will with God’s will to forgive her and to tell her to sin no more.

No wonder as a young boy he was found in the temple having deep conversations with the Bible teachers. He as a fleshly young man was absorbing all the knowledge of the Bible he could so that he could be about his Father’s (God) business ^{Luke 2:49}. Jesus, the fleshly man, was choosing every day to join his will with God’s will being subjective to a normal life here on earth. This is the oneness relationship God always desired with us, His children, but sin would guide our will in another direction away from God.

Jesus the man gave us the model prayer he prayed to God. ^{Mtt. 6:9} “After this manner therefore pray ye: Our Father which art in heaven, Hallowed be thy name. ^v10 “Thy kingdom come, Thy will be done in earth, as it is in heaven.” Jesus the man practice every day seeking to merge his will with God’s will. Jesus the man was wanting the earth to be like God’s kingdom in heaven in the oneness of wills. This is what we are suppose to doing everyday bringing heaven and earth as one. One simple way to merge with God’s will is to do what His Word says and be true children lead by His Spirit (Ro. 8:14).

We are seeing God’s will and desire flowing through Jesus because of the pure blood and no sin in his body. Jesus had the fullness of God inside him ^{Col. 2:9}, but he as a man still had the free will to choose. Jesus was continually merging his will as a man with the will of God, the Spirit, and opened a way for him to be our high priest, mediator, and reconciler. ^{Heb. 4:15} “For we have not an high priest which cannot be touched with the feeling of our infirmities; but was in all points tempted like as we are, yet without sin.“

This explains when Jesus was tempted of the devil to go against God’s will to turn rocks into bread Jesus surrendered his will to God’s will with a reply to the devil, ^{Mtt. 4:4} “…Man shall not live by bread alone, but by every word that proceedeth out of the mouth of God.” God provided the body of Jesus with life sustaining food that was eternally undeniable. We can see what was on the other side of Jesus the man trusting and choosing his will with God. Blessings and strength beyond this world that completely satisfies the hungry soul of mankind.

Everywhere I look in the biography gospels of Jesus was the daily merging of his will with God’s will creating a oneness that was always meant to be between us and God. Jesus the man said, ^{Jn. 5:30} “…I seek not mine own will, but the will of the Father which hath sent me.” “I can of mine own self do nothing: as I hear, I judge: and my judgment is just…” He as a man recognized the weakness within his flesh, but acknowledged surrendering to God’s will brings clarity of judgment. Our daily reading and praying in fellowship with God helps us to merge our will and His will to be done that day.

Looking at Jesus, I see the will of God in action. God wanted to forgive Adam and Eve, but He was not in the position as of yet to apply that forgiveness in His Spirit form. This is why God planted a son to born in the future generations to apply the forgiveness and the power to wash away our sins. God needed His Spirit form to have a fleshly body form with blood and life of the earth to forgive and pay our sin debt. This is why all of salvation is committed completely in Jesus name. This was and is God’s will.

We can see through Jesus what God in His Spirit form wanted to do everyday. Jesus is inside a house and it is so crowded that there is no way anyone else could get in to be near him. Four men carrying a cripple on a stretcher, climbed onto the rooftop, and started removing the roof to lower the cripple in the bed to Jesus ^{Luke 5:19}. We can see what God wanted to say to this cripple, the four men’s faith, and those in the room.

Jesus the man merging his will and listening to God’s will said to the cripple, ^{Luke 5:20} “…Man, thy sins are forgiven thee.” God wanted to forgive and much much more with Jesus being the human voice. Now, the religious leaders began to complain saying, ^v21 “…Who is this which speaketh blasphemies? Who can forgive sins, but God alone?” Little did they know, God was inside the man Jesus sitting before them. They were witnessing the complete oneness will of man and God.

God reveals their thoughts to Jesus the man and God has him to speak, ^v22 “…What reason ye in your hearts?” ²³ “Whether is easier, to say, Thy sins be forgiven thee; or to say, Rise up and walk?” God’s will was to forgive, heal, and show that He was inside Jesus the man. God had Jesus to tell them, ^v24 “But that ye may know that the Son of man hath power upon earth to forgive sins, (he said unto the sick of the palsy,) I say unto thee, Arise, and take up thy couch, and go into thine house.” “That ye may know…” was the key words for all of us to realize the importance of the man Jesus and God’s will.

When Jesus the man merged his will in oneness with God’s will, a man and all those around heard God forgive him and to “…Arise, and take up thy couch, and go into thine house.” ^v25 “And immediately he rose up before them, and took up that whereon he lay, and departed to his own house, glorifying God.” This is what happens when you merge your will with God’s will. You accept His word, stand up, take your bed, and depart with the joy unspeakable flowing from your heart and glorifying God with your mouth. It is a change that you will never be the same.

This is what God wanted and Jesus was in agreement wanting the same. God gave a man standing before them the power to forgive and the power to heal. Can you imagine, God healing someone in front of you just because you were obedient to His will? The covenant of salvation was born in the will of God and in the will of Jesus the man. God answered their question of “…Who can forgive sins, but God alone?” Jesus can because the “God alone” was inside Jesus proclaiming and doing His will on earth as it is in heaven.

God showed us every day that his will and the will of the man Jesus were one in agreement. God showed us this is because He wants it for us today just like He did through Jesus without dying in sin. God committed ALL of his desires and ALL His will inside of Jesus. Jesus, the man committed his will every day to God sealing the way, the truth, and the life that no man can come to the father, but by Jesus. Jesus choosing his will to be one with God’s will started sealing the will of mankind once again with God in a oneness fellowship God has always longed for in all of us.

To be in this oneness with God is for us to merge everyday our will with God’s will. It starts with “…Man shall not live by bread alone, but by every word that proceedeth out of the mouth of God.” Reading and fellowshipping with God and His Word shows us what God desires. Doing the perceptions and understandings in God’s word is merging one with His will. The one thing we must start our merging with God is first being born again – the birth of oneness with God. God gave it to Jesus and Jesus gives it to us that we must ^{Jn. 3:5} “…be born of water and of the Spirit, he cannot enter into the kingdom of God.“

Jesus sealed his will with his blood, death, and burial. God sealed His will and promise with the resurrection of new life in the man Jesus with a new body as the way, the truth, and the life by which all of mankind can follow if he merges his will in obedience with God’s will to be born again through Jesus. It is a merging of our will agreeing with God’s word and God’s Spirit.

The oneness of the will of Jesus and the will of God comes to us through the name of Jesus. ^{Acts 4:12} “Neither is there salvation in any other: for there is none other name under heaven given among men, whereby we must be saved.” God sealed His will and full salvation authority inside the name of Jesus creating a central point of entrance to a oneness fellowship with God. Jesus the man sealed his will in his own blood, death, and burial covenant of salvation creating a door for all of mankind to have a choice of eternal life with God once again.

God worked from inside the man Jesus to save us with his blood, death, burial, and resurrection. Jesus is working inside of us with a second birth of the water and of the Spirit to save as many as that will listen. This is why God revealed and had Jesus to tell Simon Peter after he confessed, ^{Mtt. 16:16} “…Thou art the Christ, the Son of the living God.” God told Peter through Jesus, ^v17 “…Blessed art thou, Simon Barjona: for flesh and blood hath not revealed it unto thee, but my Father which is in heaven.” God had already started allowing others to see Him through Jesus.

God went on to tell Peter through Jesus of the future, ^v18 “…That thou art Peter, and upon this rock I will build my church; and the gates of hell shall not prevail against it.” Jesus speaking the will of God prophesying His desired work for Peter’s role in the plan of salvation that he would start in the book of Acts. The church God wanted through Jesus Christ the same yesterday, today, and forever (Heb. 13:8) started in the book of Acts and nowhere else.

God inside of Jesus with the sealing blood of the Lamb chosen of God told Peter’s future, ^v19 “And I will give unto thee the keys of the kingdom of heaven: and whatsoever thou shalt bind on earth shall be bound in heaven: and whatsoever thou shalt loose on earth shall be loosed in heaven.” God and Jesus the man placed the heavenly keys to unlock the plan of salvation and the ability to lock evil as God’s will on earth as it is in heaven into the hands of Apostle Peter. All of this would come to pass after the death, burial, and resurrection of Jesus Christ.

Side note: This is why you do not have a gospel, biography of Jesus, written by Apostle Peter. The flesh of man, not in the will of God would take everything from the Apostle Peter’s biography gospel of Jesus as they have from the other gospels and epistles to turn it into their own personal interpretation of salvation and not what Peter preached.

Jesus the man was extremely meticulous in following God’s will to the letter for the plan of salvation hinged upon him merging his will in complete agreement with God’s will through words, deeds, and obedience. Peter must do the same for the power of binding and loosing here on earth that affects heaven. It is completely all about our will merging in obedience to God’s will and word to be done.

NOT MY WILL BUT THINE WILL

We are all faced today with multiple choices of religions stemming from the Bible. Did Jesus have multiple choices of the cross? The prophecy of the coming of the Christ Jesus was very meticulous and detailed how it shall come to pass. Just one place to read about this prophecy would be in Psalms 22. God was particular on not eating the fruit of the knowledge of evil that would bring death to Adam and Eve.

Choices of religion can be ‘my way or the highway” type deal, but that will not override the specifics of God’s way. Merging your will and God’s will is an agreement of doing it God’s way for He knows the outcome of all things just like He knew what would happen to Adam and Eve. Who am I to tell God what He should say or do to save us? We came to Him for help.

In the book of Acts chapter two, the finalized plan of salvation in the oneness of God and the man Jesus Christ came back to earth to fill Peter and the disciples that were with him, the joint plan of salvation of the born again of the water and of the Spirit for all generations to come as many as God shall call. Our merging with God starts at our second birth.

Acts chapter two is where God/Jesus had Peter to speak the keys to the kingdom. ^Acts2:38 “Then Peter said unto them, Repent, and be baptized every one of you in the name of Jesus Christ for the remission of sins, and ye shall receive the gift of the Holy Ghost.”

Can you imagine applying the name and what is all inside that name of Jesus to you in water baptism? The power of the blood of Calvary being applied to you. Can you imagine the Holy Spirit coming down on you with the spiritual power God put inside that name of Jesus? The changing power of God’s Spirit overwhelmingly flowing inside you and out. Wow, merging our will in obedience as one with God’s word and the man Jesus Christ to life eternal. The born again of the water and of the spirit merging as one with us as the scripture has said. A beyond this world experience that leave you never being the same.

Our choice of ‘I will repent‘ is the first step towards loosening the chains of sin and starting the process of oneness with God.

Our choice of ‘I will be baptized in Jesus name‘ is the step towards defeating death, hell, and the grave through the blood that is inside the name of Jesus loosening our conscience to a state of purification in God with the washing away of all our sins.

Our choice of ‘I will receive the gift of the Holy Ghost‘ is the step towards loosening our spirit freely in the fellowship of God’s power changing Spirit, guiding us daily like Jesus on merging our will with God’s will.

The born again of the spirit is where the oneness of the will of God in Jesus reaches into our sin filled bodies purifying our spirit of filth, converting it into pure water of eternal life springing up (Jn. 4:14) through our most unruly tongue that no man can tame (James 3:8) into a merged obedience of our will accepting God’s will gifted into speaking guided words of pure Holy Ghost praise in a language God will supply. All doubts are removed when this happens totally guided by God’s Spirit – an undeniable sign from God.

The born again of the water is when the name of Jesus is spoken over you in water baptism applying the power of the will of God and the blood power of the will of Jesus binding all of your sins from death, hell, and the grave paying off all debts loosening you with the washing away of all your sins applied to you by the name of Jesus. Does this not shake the whole spiritual world?

³⁷ “…Men and brethren, what shall we do?” This is what you do. ³⁸ “Then Peter said unto them, Repent, and be baptized every one of you in the name of Jesus Christ for the remission of sins, and ye shall receive the gift of the Holy Ghost.” Is it just a one time thing? Was it only for them back then? No! ³⁹ “For the promise is unto you, and to your children, and to all that are afar off, even as many as the Lord our God shall call.” This is a continual salvation plan until all things are fulfilled for mankind and the earth.

Are you praying and reading God’s word with the mindset of “…not my will, but thine, be done“? Do you now see the power of the sealed blood of Jesus committing his will as a man completely with God’s will? Are we to be like Jesus? Do you want to be like Jesus. I most certainly do. His blood and God’s Spirit is the divine unbreakable plan of salvation for us and nothing else. There is no greater merging in oneness with God than this.

I was re-baptized in Jesus name and I sought after God for the infilling of the Holy Ghost as they did in the book of Acts chapter two. I had the attitude if God wanted me to have it, than I want it too. I committed my will in obedience to God’s word, God committed His will in fulfilling His word to me with the power of forgiveness and filling me with His Holy Spirit. There is no comparison to a Holy Ghost, Jesus name, life changing experience, than opening up to God’s will be done.

In these last days as the closing completions of God’s word being fulfilled will you leave to chance by the words of others or merge your will with the words of God. ^{2 Cor. 13:8}  “For we can do nothing against the truth, but for the truth.” I want to be on the side of “for the truth” because the “against the truth” will still fall to the words of God just like Adam and Eve ^{Gen. 2:17}. May your daily merging with God bring a freedom in your spirit and mind that shines to the world a glowing face of joy unspeakable.
