He Ever Lives To Intercede For The Saints.

This scripture about Christ leaves you thinking that He is always wringing His hands and praying for you, but not so. His intercession for us at the cross was sufficient for all of us for all time.

So to think that He needs to continually pray, is to see a weak version of who He is because is is seated in Heavenly places, “waiting for His enemies to become His footstool” because His words from back then are still being played out today to perfection.

So that it is a misnomer and  a mis-understanding of the Godhead and of the duties of the Father, Son and Holy Spirit to all still be employed when after 6 days of creating, rested to mean retired. For the Father has ceased from His, and since then calls us to enter His rest as well. And of the Son,  once at the end of the Law Age restored creation to tgat which is from the beginning even as if is written “ But this Man, after He had offered one sacrifice for sins forever, sat down at the right hand of God, 13 from that time waiting till His enemies are made His footstool. 14 For by one offering He has perfected forever those who are being [a]sanctified.

This is also the Rest of tge Sabbath or seventh day rest and why scripture says “their remains a rest to the people of God. That those who have ceased from their works have entered that rest too.” Wether we see the proof or not, there remains this rest that we talk about because  “we gave ceased from our works as Gid did from His.” To mean the doubts, worrys, struggles and fears are all byproducts of unbelief that shackle people’s souls from entering that 7th day Rest.

So if the Only Begotten is still praying, and you are praying, and everyone is praying to the Father, then there is no rest and the gospel is a sham and Christ’s death accomplished nothing. If you are on the south side of the cross, you have not accepted the gift of salvation from the one and only Savior.

So it is us who have entered His rest as well, that have ceased from our works.

That all the wrangling, pleading and ceaseless repetitions can be stopped. Because if we can accept that God the Father and His Son are in Eternal Rest, calling us to join them there, that “subjection under him, he left nothing that is not put under him. But now we see not yet all things put under him. 9 But we see Jesus, who was made a little lower than the angels for the suffering of death, crowned with glory and honour; that he by the grace of God should taste death for every man. 10 For it became him, for whom are all things, and by whom are all things, in bringing many sons unto glory, to make the captain of their salvation perfect through sufferings

This is what the gospel deliverers, a job well done. But this kind takes faith. “That if you ask as if to receive? It shall be done for you.” And the obstacles for us now are food for fodder and growth in trusting and putting our confidence in this. That “4 For it is not possible that the blood of bulls and goats could take away sins. Christ’s Death Fulfills God’s Will 5 Therefore, when The Son came into the world, He said: “Sacrifice and offering You (Father) did not desire, But a body You have prepared for Me. 6 In burnt offerings and sacrifices for sin You had no pleasure. 7 Then I said, ‘Behold, I have come— In the volume of the book it is written of Me— To do Your will, O God.’ ” 8 Previously saying, “Sacrifice and offering, burnt offerings, and offerings for sin You did not desire, nor had pleasure in them” (which are offered according to the law (for training purposes only)), 9 then The Son said, “Behold, I have come to do Your will, [a]O God.” He took away the first and establish the second. 10 By that one act, we have been sanctified through the offering of (The Lamb of God who takes away the sin of the world) the body of Christ once for all.

So then the “He ever lives to intercede”, would more correctly mean “He has an Eternal life and has already (interceded and) made His prayers for us”. And this is pictured best in (John 17)

But it is easy for us to adopt the erroneous idea that Christ is micro managing and constantly doing things for us. And you know that you are doing this, if you are asking for the same things all the time. You are doing this to assay the fears of your carnal nature that does everything else continually and repetitiously. But in truth, Christ already did what He was suppose to do, to then return back to be seated at the right hand of Father for a task well done, because that is how they get things done. They do things once and they do things right saying. This is what righteous means.

Now our new nature, having been born again and born from above (John 3), is just like their nature. “Old things having past away, behold all things become new and all things are in Christ”, as opposed to the old Adam.

It was the Father who said “this is My Beloved Son in whom I’m well pleased”, who has “sat down at the right hand of the Majesty on High, having become so much greater than, … fill in the blank.

The reason The Son God became one of us saying “and the Word (of God) became flesh and dwelt among us. And we beheld the Glory of the Father full of grace and truth”. The only time Christ laboriously prayed, was right before and up to the cross, some call the passion of Christ, speaking of us where He said “Father, I pray for those whom you have given Me out of the world. That they may be one with us. They in Me and I in you that the world may know that you have sent Me, and that I have loved them as you have loved Me, and that You would keep them from the evil one. And Father, I also pray for those who believe in Me through their words, that they may be one with us also “. This is the body of Christ, of “living stones (NOT bricks) built up a habitation of God in the Spirit.” These are the ones who are His, and these are those who are “sanctified” and “set apart”, distinguishably different than brick and mortar churches.

So this should set your heart at ease. Even as He said “I go to prepare a place for you, that where I am you may be also”. We just showed you where this took place, (John 17).

This is how we know we are in Christ who is in the Father. And because He said so, this should neutralize all the scary images the angel/messengers of the created age, promote their gospel of a god likeness to protect the flesh we were told to put off. It is through their services having to do with “the prince of the power (and media-ator) of the air (waves) that (now) work in (and empower) the sons of the disobedient (to the gospel. Meaning the internet, a net of capture through submissions that make them lords over you.

Christ became one of us, and picked back up where Adam failed by defeating Satan in the wilderness where Moses, the law and the prophets ALL FAILED in their 40 year journey around the same mountain. So Christ went on to rescue the rest of us first by His 40 day battle, not years, to go on to the cross for the world (John 3.16) because that was the only way to put humanity back on track to “that which was from the beginning”.

Christ came to rectify the fall in that way, to then show us the way to the Father NOT through the resurrection from the dead, but by us being “raised back up, meaning the ascension. By us climbing up and clamoring through the ages of debris by some who ignorantly mis-appropriating these truths to keep people waiting. But these are our assension tools. That is why it is written that “we have been raised far above all principalities and powers and seated in Heavenly places in Christ” who is in the Holy Spirit and the Father. That is why they said “wherever two or more are gathered in My name, there am I in their midst”.

This was Christ as a man burrowing a hole through time , providing for us “a new and living way to the Father. Whereby he Son said”²⁰ “I do not pray for these alone, but also for those who (will come after, who) will believe in Me through their word”. Meaning us who repeat these eternal, timeless truths, showing us that ALL believers till the end of creation, have the forgiveness to appropriate by faith, and the power to become one with the Godhead by faith, already allocated to us for equality with and in the “Godhead body” also by faith. For it is “by faith,”, and from “faith to faith”, as we “work out our own faith with fear and trembling “.

So the power is there. You just need to learn how to tap into this as the new you and your part and responsibility to put on Christ”, one revelation at a time until “you are complete in Him who is head over all”. This is the activation methods through the prayer of faith according to the will of the Father, your completion too. With this He is well pleased.

 2 Corinthians 6:16 And what agreement has the temple of God with idols? For you are the temple of the living God. As God has said: “I will dwell in them And walk among them. I will be their God, And they shall be My people.” 17 Therefore “Come out from among them And be separate, says the Lord. Do not touch what is unclean, And I will receive you.” 18 “I will be a Father to you, And you shall be My sons and daughters, Says the Lord Almighty

And this all takes place by faith, outside of time and no second coming involvement, for you to wait for. That you put in play and participate in “such a great salvation, and confirmed by those  who have heard it” as we do here, as you trade in your old carnal repetitions for something far more substantial. Let it be according to your faith? If you keep asking, there is your proof that YOU DO NOT BELIEVE!

So then we need to realize this and examine our prayer habits, lest we wear out our welcome with the Almighty by using the same repetitious prayers over and over. That is the proof that we do NOT believe. For that would be us forever begging, and God begat no beggars but Sons and Daughters of equal status as “joint heirs” with Christ, our protege and firstborn.

For Christ even said “I am going to the Father, and you see Me again no more”. To then go on to say, “because I say these things sorrow has filled our heart”, to continue “nevertheless, if I do not go to the Father, I won’t send you My Helper”. Showing us that it is the Holy Spirit that is our direct link to and to be in the Godhead.

For you see, if Christ “ever lives to make intersession for the saints” to mean He is always praying for us, or for that matter, continually working and performing in any other way, then He could not have entered His Rest with the Father (seated in Heavenly places). Then that would completely seal the option from your mind of you entering your Rest to. But Hebrews  states “when He had by Himself purged our sins, He sat down (for forever) at the right hand of the Majesty on high” as our benchmark being His progress. And He said with His last human breath at the cross, “it is (emphatically and irrefutable) finished!” And if it was not, He would not have gone home, then neither could we and our faith would be pages of unfulfilled promises. But they are NOT .

To mean that NOT only did The Son of God enter His rest to stop wrangling over the affairs of this life, but yours too.  Too include your health wealth and daily necessities, happiness and joy in the Holy Spirit, as included in your inheritance given because of the cross and the implimentation of the New Will and Testament, being a will of the deceased for the goods to be given to the heirs as evidenced by the “payment in full”, fulfilled at the cross of “the Lamb slain from the foundations of the world” to include those who were “in the beginning” and of those of us of whom it is said “24 Therefore let that abide in you which you heard from the beginning. If what you heard from the beginning abides in you, you also will abide in the Son and in the Father.

That we are co-owners and joint heirs of “The Kingdom of God (that is) at Hand”, meaning anytime and anywhere.

If this things are NOT true, then yes, Christ is always praying and we are always begging and salvation really must be after we die or Jesus gets us. Then yes, of course, in that scenario (sinario) Christ must come a second time for some other type of rescuing, saving.  If this is true then the resurrection of The Son of God becomes just another  Holliday, one of many that keeps you looking for another day, looking without for what should be within. “If that from the beginning abideth in you”.

But Christ said, “If you love Me, keep My commandments. 16 And I will pray the Father, and He will give you another Helper to abide with you forever— 17 even the Spirit of truth, whom the world cannot receive, because they neither see nor know the Spirit; but you know the Spirit, for the Spirit dwells with you and will anide in you. 18 I will not leave you orphans;

In this way we know we are in Christ. We are in the world but not of the world. And because we can do this having our carnal features still intact, then this is proof that God sent His Son not to condemn but to save on a fashion that is complete. And just as Adam in the beginning had a flesh body, and the Son of God used one too being son of man and Son of God, we are the same thing.  We know that we are right where we are suppose to be, when we are suppose to be there, without fretting or fearing the way that the agencies of the lower clouds and Internet, try to have you buy into.

And hopefully with these things being said, with these insites and oversites, you too can see your enemies put under you and behind you. That those scary images that promote fear for the purpose of selling products, are done so for people to press in to lay hold of the gift of God in Christ. For you see this is a timeless spaceless gift hindered only by fear and ignorance, of which the gods of this age can control because “perfect love casts out because for fear involves torment”. Torments are their non-stop repetitions to keep people on fear. But for us??

The Kingdom of God is at hand”, within reach and obtainable as you put off the powers from the gods of this age for empowerments that keep you spell bound and looking down and unaware of these truths.

Kind of like the inside virgins who “went to the world to buy what they needed??” To come back and find the Marriage Feast closed? Saying, Lord Lord open up to us?” To be scalded with the Master of the Weddings reply saying “depart from Me ye workers of inequity. I do not know you from where you are from”. They were still in the world looking waiting and watching. And the day of salvation had come and gone, to leave in them the burning sensation of lost opportunities. Could’ve, should’ve, would’ve, but didn’t. Oh the burning sensation of lost opportunities.

But luckily for now, “The Kingdom of God is still at hand”. Many are pressing into the kingdom, more watch, and even more ignor it.
