"The Complex Nature of the Finish"
The Complex Nature of the Finish.
In every journey, there is a beginning and an end point,
the ‘Finish’. When we come to Christ, we embark on a
journey, a process. It is important for us to define the
end of this journey because we cannot migrate accurately if
we do not define the end.
1 Corinthians 3:18 “But we all with unveiled face,
beholding as in a mirror the glory of the Lord, are being
transformed into the same image from glory to glory, just
as by the Spirit of the Lord”.
The essential value in this scripture is, as we look at
Him, we are transformed into who He is. Our Journey
therefore is not to a place called heaven but towards a
person called Christ. This is the Finish point. We are not
going to a place but migrating towards a person. Not to a
street made of gold but Christ and the fullness of
everything that he represents, his values and pattern of
existence. We cannot start in the spirit and end with the
physical.
We are the structure of the Kingdom expressed in the earth
and in defining the Finish, we must understand that the
Finish is a point. It is a place where all things are
resolved, where people come to greater understanding and
illumination. The Finish is not confusion and ignorance. It
is a place where all streams come together, not a place of
uncertainty and identity crisis but a place of perfected
identity, a place of greater authority to partner with the
things of God.
1 John 3:2 “Beloved, now we are children of God; and it has
not yet been revealed what we shall be, but we know that
when He is revealed, we shall be like Him, for we shall see
Him as He is.”
We are moving towards the end, towards the fullness of what
He represents, toward greater knowledge, unity, authority,
understanding and discernment. When you journey, you begin
to manifest the character of your destination. For instance
if you are traveling to the Caribbean from North America in
the winter, you pack your luggage differently. You travel
with cloths that are consistent with the weather in your
destination not the prevailing weather condition at your
origin. We have to be manifesting the character of our
destination if we are moving towards it. With each passing
day, we are becoming like Him, His principles fully
expressed in us. Your proclamation means nothing if it is
not joined to your process. Proclamation that is not linked
to a process is empty religion. Increasingly, we must take
on the nature of our destination. It is the nature that
authorizes you to exist in the destination. If you say you
are going to Heaven and the very fabric of your life is not
heavenwards, you will never get there.
Every passing moment must bring you nearer to that place.
The Finish is greater partnership, greater position in God,
purer relationships, greater understanding, authority and
discernment. This is the character of the end. The Finish
is not a place of confusion and broken relationship but
total community. If that is the end, then we must migrate
toward that position today and must manifest a greater
capacity to build relationships.
God is light, our Finish is light, God is truth, our Finish
is truth, God is love, our Finish is perfected love, God is
participation so we destroy exclusivity. God is wholeness
not deficiency, progress not paralysis. The Finish is
dominion and ruler-ship so we migrate from a victim
experience. We are heading towards God. If you are holding
on to offences or suffering from a damaged mentality,
insecurity, then you are not heading towards God. You
cannot be talking in tongues and headed towards an
expression that does not reveal God. You cannot be talking
the power of the Spirit and not have His nature. The
fullness of the Spirit is the manifestation of all of God’s
nature in your life.
Every principle, every proclamation,
every value system or belief system that does not produce
in you more of the nature of Christ is inaccurate. We are
not defined by what exists in this realm. The Kingdom is
lifestyle not religion.
