Intimate Union: Bride of Christ part 1 of 9 Re-Post 10/18/09


I was awakened from a deep sleep earlier this week. When I awoke, I reached for the remote, turned on the television and changed the channel to Trinity Broadcasting Network (TBN). Just at that moment, barely awake, Benny Hinn's program was just starting. As I laid there in bed, I asked God what it was he wanted me to know. This was the message Benny Hinn was sharing that very morning. I was in AWE the entire time. Benny Hinn perfectly describes the beautiful personal relationship I share with my heavenly Father and how this nirvana reached me. It's an ongoing process. Benny Hinn has described this union in a way that I could never put into words the way he has. It's a way of living I wish everyone could truly know deep down in the core of their being. Would you please take a moment out of your day to listen to this most beautiful 9 part message that God wants you to know. God loves you soooooooo much! You have always been His precious precious child and He is just waiting for you to embrace Him right where you are. Open your heart, mind, body and spirit to Him and watch your life be trasformed in total amazement. I have typed a transcript of the first 5 minutes of part 1 for my international readers who need to translate.

*****************************************************************

Verse 11 of John 17, "And now I am no more in the world, but these are in the world and I come to Thee Holy Father, keep through Thine own name those whom Thou hast given me, that they may be one as we are." Verse 21 to 23 now, "That they all may be one, as thou Father, art in me, and I in Thee, that they also may be one in us, that the world may believe that Thou has sent me. And the glory which Thou gavest me I have given them; that they may be one, even as we are one. I in them, and Thou in me, that they may be made perfect in one; and that the world may know that Thou hast sent me, and hast loved them, as Thou hast loved me."

Now in verse 11, notice the words the Lord spoke. When He said the last portion, "That they may be one as we are." Now He explains further in verse 21, "That they may be one as Thou Father art in me and I in Thee. Father you are in me and I'm in you." Then in verse 23, "I in them, Thou in me." Now we know that the Father and the Son are one. We do not fully understand that, not really. We will one day. But this is a mingling of lives. Can someone bring me an empty glass of water. I want to show you what I am talking about. Because this is something so divine and something so powerful you have to see it. If I take and I pour water in this glass and I have two glasses with water and I put this here and I put this there and I put this here. You really cannot tell the water that was here is now in here, you cannot separate them now can you. That is what He means. I in Thee, Thou in me. It's two glasses that become one. That kind of oneness is unknown. But here is the amazing truth, we are going to be a part of that glass. You take a third glass now and take the water in it and put it all in one. That's what verse 23 said. Look at it again. "I in them, Thou in me." But earlier he said in verse 21, "Father I in you, You in me." And verse 23 says, "I in them and You in me." The Father and the Son are one. Father I am in You and You are in me. But now the church (you are the church) comes in and becomes a part of that oneness. Now that is something we have not yet understood. That ladies and gentlemen is what intimacy with God is all about.
