9.3 I Am the Entrance of God

This lesson is an extended definition of the human, more like an encyclopedia entry, but made personal. We are creating this working definition out from an outline which is included at the end of this chapter.

However – we must distinguish between two. You see, there is human, and then there is human as firstfruits. Forever, we are the same as all other humans, and forever, as firstfruits, we are quite different from the majority of humans. This definition is of the human as firstfruits, as the completed reality God intends through Jesus. The majority of humans are very similar to this definition, yet there is a difference centered on sharing Hheart with God.

Seven Themes. For this definition, we have constructed an organizational pattern of seven major themes of human design and action, and then placed all the points found thus far into those themes. These categories are (I) Purpose, (II) Covenant, (III) Life, (IV) Image, (V) Story, (VI) Community, (VII) Proof.

Yet we must keep in view both the power and the limitation of any organizational pattern. A pattern such as this, set up loosely, is powerful in that it combines some things in our thinking and separates others. At the same time, it is limited, because it is apparent that these categories overlap with each other and that, technically, every individual point fits in some way inside each of these seven themes. Thus, we remain flexible in our “working” definition.

Made Personal. Then, a definition of the human can be real inside of Symmorphy only if it is made personal. For this reason, we will word everything personally; thus, as you read these things, you are speaking of your own person and humanity.

Most of the things in this definition we will draw out from the lessons of this course up until now. A few things will be drawn from major topics of prior Symmorphy courses, things that will appear later in the course. Thus this definition will not attempt to explain these things or to reference them in Scripture. Nonetheless everything stated here is 100% Biblical, coming out directly from what God says concerning us in His Word.

Purpose – God’s Desire. I begin inside of God’s Heart; I am the result of His determined purpose. I come out from the wanting and desire of God. I am designed by God in all my being and made for His purpose. I am designed to know God, to know all of God. I know God my Father through Jesus; I know His Heart. I then turn and become the knowledge of God to others that all might know Him.

I fellowship with God my Father in intimate communion; I share His life. God’s life is mine through Jesus. I then turn and become the sharing of God life inside all creation, that Father might live and walk and love inside His creation through me. God my Father is at home inside my heart through Jesus; I am the Father’s Home. As God is at home inside of me, so He wins all His desire – to be at Home inside His creation.

The Entrance of God. I am the entrance of God into creation; I am the entrance of God into my world. God is made visible through me.

I am a symmorphic being, just as God is a symmorphic being. Through Jesus, Father and I share this flesh together; through Jesus, Father and I share this spirit together. Through Jesus, Father and I share sweet and undiminished communion.

I am the pathway of God into His creation. God reaches through my hands to touch the things of earth; God reaches through my spirit to touch the things of heaven. Through my human weakness, I am an appearance of God inside of His creation; I am what God looks like. As I humble myself through Jesus, so God my Father walks this earth.

Synergeia – Sharing the Fire. My energeia, the life force by which I do all things, swirls together in perfect union with God’s energeia, the life force by which God does all things. I am the tip point of God’s fire. Inside this shared synergeia, Father and I enjoy the same communion through Jesus that the Father and the Son enjoy inside their own divine Symmorphy. God sings His joy, and I sing the same words back to Him, singing together with Him blessing upon all.

I call God into my world, I prophesy Christ, and through our shared Holy Spirit, Father and I turn all things into goodness and life. I work together with God, devoted together, for the sake of others, that all might know the Father.

Covenant – The Written Word. I am a Covenant being. Every Word God speaks, the Lord Jesus Christ, is written all through the pathways of my human heart of flesh. My human heart is more the Bible than paper and ink ever could be. I am a letter of Christ written for all to read. I speak only what God speaks in the gospel, and I speak those Words made personal as me in all the confidence of faith.

I am a Covenant being; I exist by Word through Spirit out from the Pro-Knowing of God and by His Pro-Determination. The Word of Christ shapes all the thoughts of my heart and governs the thoughts of my mind and the speaking of my mouth. I see all things only by every gospel Word God speaks.

Jesus Our Pattern. I am designed by God out from the Pattern of the Lord Jesus Christ. As Jesus is, right now, so am I in this present world. Yet I am not just like Jesus separately from Him, for Jesus Himself lives inside of me and causes me to be all that God speaks. I am just like Jesus because I see Him for real inside of me.

Just as Jesus is every word God speaks, the sustainer of all, the character of God’s substance, so God made me the same, filled with Jesus. Just as Jesus is the becoming of all, the life force inside, and all cleansing away, so God designed me the same. I am God’s mercy seat; I am the place of joining, just like Jesus, where Father and others meet freely inside my heart. I am patterned after the Name above all names.

Jesus Our In-Between. Jesus is my life. He is the Bond connecting me with God in all ways and in every moment. I am part of God and God is part of me through the connecting Bond that is Jesus. At the center of this Bond is the Blood shed for me, sprinkled now upon my heart, the Mercy Seat of God. I know God and trust utterly in Him through the Lord Jesus.

I connect with myself only through Jesus; I connect with other people only through Jesus; I connect with my stuff only through Jesus; I connect with heaven-earth only through Jesus. I know everything and everyone only through the Lord Jesus Christ, in every aspect of Being that Jesus is. I trust utterly in the Father and am anchored to Good and True – through Jesus.

Life – Knowing Jesus Sent. I live always and utterly inside of Jesus, and inside of Jesus, I live at home inside of the Father. Jesus lives always and utterly inside of me, and inside of Jesus is Father at Home inside of me. I am symmorphic; I contain and reveal other Persons, the Father and the Son. I am an outward expression of the Person of God.

I exist, I am sustained and carried by every good and power-filled Word that Jesus speaks. I am the Faith of the Son of God. My flesh is Jesus’ flesh; His flesh is mine. Jesus and I share flesh together. My spirit is Jesus’ Spirit; His Spirit is mine. Jesus and I share Sspirit together. Jesus is my Energeia; Jesus energeoes me. I know Jesus Sent into me; Jesus and I share soul together in sweet communion. His Story is mine, and my story is His.

Symmorphic Reciprocity. I live inside of a Personal Spirit Word, Christ Jesus. I am made by the fusion of Spirit and Word together. I eat of Jesus; I am made by Good and True Words. I speak Christ made personal as me.

I am a reciprocal being. I give back to God all that God first gives to me. God speaks me inside of Christ; I speak Christ back to the Father. I hear His Voice singing me; I sing back to God with the same Voice of Christ. God works, and I also work. I work, and God also works. All that God does, I am doing. All that I do, God is doing. God and I synergeo together. God and I together make all things good. I am a reciprocator of God; God speaks through me.

Knowing Father. I know the Father through Jesus Sent into me. I live a life shared utterly together with God. Father shares my life with me; I share Father’s life with Him. I commune always with my Father; God-Word flows all through my soul. The Father and I are one through Jesus. I am filled with all of God; I am filled with God-Energeia. I am devoted inside of God; God is devoted inside of me. I am rooted in Fellowship with God; I come out from Fellowship with God; I am designed by Fellowship with God. I know God my Father arising always from within my heart, and I know myself inside of God. The Father and I are one.

God’s Off-Spring. I am conceived of God; I am His off-spring. I am generated by the Sperm of God; I am conceived of an incorruptible Word. I am shaped entirely by God-Words flowing through my soul. Christ is formed inside of me. God is my Father; I know God my Father. I am anchored into God arising always inside of me.

I synergeo together with God; rivers of living water flow out from me. I speak the same words of Christ; I am the source of the river of life bringing healing and life to all. I am just like Jesus; I am of His same kind. I am born of the same womb; I am conceived of the same Father. I am a son out from God. I am the off-spring of God.

Image – A Mirror Image. God knows His thoughts concerning me before I exist. Those thoughts are not me, but God. Yet I come out from those thoughts through the speaking of Jesus every moment. I am completed inside of God before I ever become. I exist inside of a True and Personal God. I am written in full inside God’s Pro-Knowing.

I am a perfect reflection in space and time of God’s thoughts concerning me. I am the unfolding of God’s thoughts in space and time. I come out from God, I live through God, and I return to God. I am a mirror image of God; I am what God looks like as He appears inside His creation. I am the image and likeness of God.

Our Humanity. I am human. I am utterly content with my humanity. I am content to be foolish and wise, weak and strong, in and out, up and down. I am emotional and ambitious. I love to laugh; I often cry. There is nothing greater than being human. I am whole; I am designed to be whole and complete. Even my disability is part of my wholeness, for I am made complete as I walk with my brothers and sisters. I will always need them, and they will always need me.

God knows my frame and delights in what He has formed; I am a being of great respect. God knows me by name. I share all form with Christ Jesus; I, in my weak humanity, am an appearance of God in creation. God is known to all through the human me.

Story – A Binary Being. I am a living soul, that is, a story of words inside of a spirit self-awareness. As a living soul, I live inside of and express myself through a form, a body, made up of spirit and physic woven together. The spiritual part of my body is the substance of the heavens; the physical part of my body is the substance of the earth. These two are always together as life, and I exist at their joining.

As a living soul, I am just like God, for I desire as God desires, I feel as God feels, and I think as God thinks. I think only Christ. Yet, as one with Christ, I am fully aware of myself; indeed, I live inside a bubble of self-knowing. Although I share similarities with all other sentient beings, I am unique in myself. I am a person of value and integrity. Jesus calls me by name.

A Place and a Setting. God made me to dwell upon a living planet, that is, upon earth inside of heaven. I am made for heaven-earth together. I am made for the land, for the dew of heaven resting upon it, for growing things, for husbandry, for working with my hands. I know and communicate with the heavens through my spirit; I know and communicate with the earth through my physic. I am complete only in both realms together.

I am personal and complete in myself, but I am not designed to be alone. God made me either male or female and placed me with others of my same kind. We dwell together inside a garden of peace, enclosed and protected. We are made to belong, members of one another.

A Story Told. Just as God is Word as the telling of a Story, so He also made me. My life is the telling of a story; I am a critical part of the Great Story of God. God tells His own Story through me. My life is a personal journey of the unfolding of Christ. I walk inside of and through the path of life. I walk every step inside God’s thoughts concerning me, always coming my way; I walk inside Good and True.

I engage directly with God in every moment. I contend with Him concerning His Word, that His Word is fulfilled in me. God sings Christ into me; I sing Christ back to my Father. God speaks me inside of Christ; I speak Christ inside of God. God places my every step into Love; God always leads me in the celebration of all victory. I walk as Jesus walked.

Made to Rule. God has set me forth as His son. God made me to rule, and He gave me a heart as fierce as His own, made to be filled with God. Yet my ‘rule’ is not the domination of others, but of love. I live and walk inside of glorious liberty. Everywhere I go, I set others free of me, free to know God their Father.

God has given me all authority, yet I am free, even, of God. I have the right to speak Christ; I have the ability to refuse the false. I am not subject to fakery or pretending; I am not under any control. Yet as a son, my heart is the Mercy Seat of God, the source of the river of life flowing out. I am the doing of the Spirit; the Spirit flows out from me giving life and joy to all. I set creation free; all come to know their God through me.

Community – Made for Belonging. I belong. I belong inside of Jesus; I belong inside His Church. I am an inhabitant of Jerusalem. The city of God is my city; all heaven-earth, now made Jerusalem, is my dwelling place. God created me not-sufficient in myself. God designed me to be disabled, to be incomplete all by myself. God gave me what others need and He gave others what I need.

I am made for community, yet I am also unique and highly valued in myself. I gather together with others, yet I also worship God in solitude. I am always social and always personal. I am made for family, for walking together with brothers and sisters, fathers and mothers, old folks and children. We belong together, we are members of one another.

Reciprocity Together. I am a reciprocal being, just like God. I am designed to give and to receive, to receive and to give. I always receive what others give to me as if I am receiving from God, and I always give away abundantly that which God gives to me. I fellowship together with my brothers and sisters in Christ; we love one another in full reciprocity, neither above nor below, but together. Our fellowship is always coming out from God.

Our fellowship together is “Father with us for the sake of others.” In our togetherness, we call every part and moment of our lives as being lived for the sake of others. Our lacks and our abundance is God through us for others. We reciprocate life and all good things and give all we are for others.

A Community of Christ. I am a member in particular of the body of Christ. As I walk together with my brethren, so Christ walks this earth as us. I am made for Christ Community; I am designed to share my life with others. I am a member of all who belong to Jesus; we are part of each other’s lives.

As we walk together; we are the House, the Body, the dwelling place of God. As we love one another in real and practical everyday realities, so God is now visible inside His creation. God Himself is our love for one another, and all creation sees that love and knows that the Father is among them. We are one another’s protection; we are one another’s reward. Together, we are the Church, the completion of Christ.

Proof – Faithful and True. I am the proof of Christ. Jesus proves Himself faithful and true in and as me. I am the object of God’s devotion; I am the desire of Jesus, His joy, His prize. I am devoted utterly to God, even as God is devoted utterly to me. I am the fulfillment of God’s purposes; I am the accomplishment of His intentions. When God sees me, He sees all that He has spoken, Christ, prospering in full abundance.

I am the Jesus Secret, the mystery of Christ revealed. I am the speaking of God, Good and True, the knowledge of God made known. I am filled with fullness of joy; I am filled with grace and truth. I am the Song of the Lamb; I am the singing of Jesus.

God-Revealed. I am God-revealed. I am a normal human, as God intended from the beginning. I am what God looks like; God, Himself in Person, reveals Himself to all through me. I am the completion of Christ; I love my brothers and sisters even as they also love me. I am a member of Christ, of His fullness. I am a member of the revelation of Jesus Christ inside of His creation. I am the revelation of Jesus Christ; I am the apocalypse.

I am the firstfruits of Christ; I am the Salvation of God revealed. I see all things new; I see all things good. I am the proof of Christ in the earth; I am the evidence that God is telling us the truth.

What Is a Human? A human is a being who is just like the Lord Jesus Christ, sharing all form with Him as the revelation of the Father, a being who knows God, containing in heart every Word God speaks, who lives inside of God, a being who shares in the fellowship of Father and Son, living inside Their Symmorphy, and who shares that same fellowship with other humans living with them inside of God.

A human is one who believes that God is telling us the truth, a being who stands upon firm, revealing to all the essence and meaning of a forever invisible God, made known forever through their forever weak humanity. A human is the Ark of the Covenant, the Word made flesh, God-revealed as He is to all. And the Church, the joy set before the Lord Jesus, the completion of all His desire, is these humans loving one another with pure hearts fervently.
