Review 1: Speaking the Ten

© 2015 Christ Revealed Bible Institute 

In my original booklet, The Ten Most Important Verses in the Bible, after covering briefly these ten verses, I added a section expanding just a bit on how to apply these verses to our lives. Most everything in that section has appeared throughout the lessons of this course.

In this part of the review, I want to include the last section of the booklet, “The Second Response of Faith: Speak,” including the short versions of the ten most important verses made personal as us. Then, I will re-write the speaking of each of the ten into a longer form drawing out from the glorious things the Lord has taught us through this course.

The Response of Faith
God does not form Christ in us without our active and continual involvement. He simply never pushes anyone around, but He does all things in joy and delight together with us, including transforming us into the image of Christ, the express image of the Father.

God has given us a very specific mechanism, a precise exercise by which we take on our true self, the Lord Jesus, losing in the process even the memory of all non-meaning we have known. Then here is what we discover. This is a big deal. We discover that by winning our true Christ identity, we are altering the identity of the entire universe, both heaven and earth. We are setting creation free.

God Creates by Speaking
God creates all things by speaking. God opens His mouth to speak, and the Lord Jesus is always flowing out of the Father as the light and life that creates and sustains all things. Then God SAID, “Let there be light,” and there was light. And God SAW the light, that it was good (Genesis 1:3).

Here is the means by which God brings forth everything. …God, who gives life to the dead and calls those things which do not exist as though they did (Romans 4:17).

First God says, then God sees. If this is God’s reality, how can anything else be ours? We speak, then we see what we speak. God spoke light, therefore light became. God saw goodness, therefore all things were good.

The Testimony of Jesus
Speaking comes first, seeing comes second. Both are by faith; both enter into the darkness, into “nothingness” before they bring forth their reality. Our reality in God is God’s reality in Himself. We transform ourselves and the entire universe by the words that we speak.

…For the testimony of Jesus is the spirit of prophecy (Revelation 19:10). Creating and sustaining, forming and fashioning all things by speaking, and then by seeing what is spoken by faith, that it is truly good, is the nature and Being of this God who fills us with His Person.

The Spirit of Prophecy
When we speak what God speaks concerning Christ our only life, then God speaks through us. If God speaks through us (prophecy), then what’s the problem? There is none. Hold in faith and see God alone. Sadly, if we prefer to be double-hearted and double-minded, if God has not yet won our hearts, we will not speak Christ alone. Rather, we will speak an unending mixture of confusion. Our lives will always follow our speaking.

Speaking Christ always begins in the darkness, that is, by faith. Speaking comes first; seeing comes second. We speak first what we do not yet see.

Prophecy Christ
And so I want to include the ten most important verses in the Bible as statements of faith, in short form, as the speaking of Christ. Speak these things; prophecy Christ. Speak them over and over until you know that they are true as your very and only life.
As you speak Christ, God through you is transforming not only your identity, but the identity of the entire creation as well. And thus we know God and we know Jesus-Sent.

The Ten as Personal Confessions of Faith
1. From the very beginning, God determined to make me just like Jesus.
2. I am filled with all the fullness of God.
3. The Spirit of God flows out from me as rivers of living water bringing life and joy to all.
4. I cast down every voice that speaks against the Word God speaks, against Christ my only life.
5. Christ is my life; I have no other life.
6. I boldly enter the Holiest, the throne of God – with my heart sprinkled always with Blood, and with my body, flesh of His flesh, washed clean.
7. I exult boastfully in all the victory of Christ revealed in me. I speak Christ; I keep the joy of my confidence high.
8. I love you; I lay down my life for you.
9. I set creation free.
10. Just as Jesus is IN the Father, so I am in Him and He is in me, every part of me in Him and Him in every part of me. I abide in Christ; He abides in me.

In this shorter form, these confessions of faith are easy to remember and to speak. Now, let’s expand them a bit out from this course.

Symmorphy and Fullness
1. Out from His own Heart, God knows me, and in knowing me, God is determined with all the fire of His being to conform me,   Daniel Yordy  , into the image of Christ. God is determined to symmorphose me together with Jesus, two persons sharing the same form, as the revelation of Father to His creation. I am already glorified as Christ right now; Father and I together make all things good.

2. The Lord Jesus Christ, ascended above the heavens, dwells in my heart. I thrust myself deliberately into Love in Person, seizing hold of the full extent of God in me. I am filled with all the fullness of God. Everything that is God in Person in all holiness, power, and glory, resides in fullness in every particle of my being, spirit, soul, and body.

Rivers and Authority
3. As I drink of Christ, the river of life from the throne of God flows out of my heart, the Mercy Seat of God. Out from this same Christ in my heart, out from the womb of the church, the Holy Spirit flows as Rivers across the earth, God Himself flowing out from me, giving life and joy and healing to all as the Father revealed.

4. The power and authority of Christ revealed is now come in me as I cast down the accuser and all accusation against myself, against God, and against the Word God speaks. I overcome that accuser by the Blood of the Lamb-Slain always flowing over me, and by speaking Christ my only life. I overcome that accuser by abandoning all sense of “my”self by the one death of Christ, replaced with Christ the only self I am.

Christ and Boldness
5. Christ I have been crucified with – I live, but no longer I, He lives, however, in me Christ – even more than that, the NOW I live in all the sphere of flesh, flesh of His flesh, exists only inside the sphere of the I live faith of the Son of God – this One having loved me, this One having traded Himself for me. Christ is my life; I have no other life.

6. With all the daring boldness of the heart of Jesus filling mine I enter right into the Holiest Place in the universe, my complete symmorphy with the Father, one person with Him – KNOWING that my flesh is His flesh, the Way through all obstacles, and that the Lord Jesus Christ connects me in all ways with God. I sit upon the throne, my heart, the Mercy Seat of God, sprinkled always with Blood.

Confidence and Love
7. I am part of Christ by my confident speaking of Christ my only life, boasting that I am filled with Christ, just like Jesus before God and that in all things, I am right now the revelation of Father. God, at all times, through all things, ALWAYS leads me in the mighty celebration of a victory already won, foes already defeated, AS IF I am the one who has won this great victory entirely inside of Jesus.

8. Jesus speaks into me the creative words of Father, words He fulfills out from me, “Love one another in exactly the same way that I love you.” There is no greater revelation of the Father, than for Jesus and I together to lay down our life for our brothers and sisters in Christ. I love you; I lay down my life for you. I draw you into the Mercy Seat of my heart.

Liberty and Abiding
9. Creation is waiting with intense expectation for the removal of the cover that hides the revelation of Father through me. The entire creation is made free from not knowing God into my glorious liberty.

10. In every moment, I KNOW that Jesus is inside of all the sphere of Father, and I KNOW, that I, in all that I am, live entirely inside all the sphere of Jesus, and I KNOW that Jesus, every word God speaks, lives utterly and entirely inside of every particle that is me. – I remain inside of Jesus in all of my thinking, speaking, and doing; He remains absolutely inside of me regardless of all my foolish stumbling. – I KNOW the Father, and I know Jesus Sent. Jesus and I are one.

God Is True in Us
Clearly, if these things be true, then they must shape and govern all the revelation of God including every word in the Bible.

As we speak these things concerning ourselves, we are not making anything happen, except one. We are convincing ourselves that God is true and that God is true in us. As our minds change to reflect only the thinking of Jesus, I am, our whole view of everything changes as well. We see all things as God sees; we see through eyes of fire.

As a result, we walk in the intimate knowledge, in every practical way, of our complete symmorphy with Jesus.
