The Second Dimension – Character of the Christ Christ’s Nature Is the Lamb’s Nature It’s the Lamb of God that takes away the sins of this world. John 1:29

Theses 16 Attributes are the Formational Substance of the Christ in you Luke 22:19 Jesus took bread, [Himself] and gave thanks, and brake it, and gave unto them [divide Himself into 12 pieces] , saying, This is my body which is given for you: this do in remembrance of me. **We are to put Him back together Romans 12:3.. according as God hath dealt to every man the measure of faith. Ephesians 4:7 But unto every one of us is given grace according to the measure of the gift of Christ. Ephesians 4:13 Till we all come in the unity of the faith, and of the knowledge of the Son of God, unto a perfect man, unto the measure of the stature of the fullness of Christ: Ephesians 4:16 From whom the whole body fitly joined together and compacted by that which every joint supply’s, according to the effectual working in the measure of every part, makes increase of the body unto the edifying of itself in love. KJV

Compare the two natures to really see which one of these natures best describe your nature some of the time:

Attributes of the Christ Nature Compared to the Anti-Christ Nature: This chart will give you a true assessment of your real nature, also this chart will reveal to you what parts of your nature you really need to work on to become more like Christ in your world. 1 Corinthians 11:28 Let a man thoroughly examine himself, AMP 2 Corinthians 13:5 Examine and test and evaluate your own selves to see whether you are holding to your faith and showing the proper fruits of it

The Anti-Christ Nature Is the Beast Nature

1 John 4:3 And every spirit which does not acknowledge and confess that Jesus Christ has come in the flesh but would annul, destroy, sever, and disunite Him is not of God and does not proceed from God. This non-confession is the Spirit of the antichrist, of which you heard that it was coming, and Now it is already in the world. AMP How is this spirit of antichrist released == through words, intents and behavioral patterns Revelations 13:18 Here is wisdom. Let him that hath understanding count the number of the beast: for it is the number of a man; and his number is Six hundred threescore and six. == 666 == Man is 3 dimensional spirit, soul and body. Whenever a man’s mind is carnal, his emotions are fleshly and his body will follows the dictates of his mind and emotions, man’s conscious-ness becomes weak to the moral laws. This man has taken on the “Mark of the beast”. The Laws of the Spirit of Life has now become foolish to him. [1 Corinthians 2:14]

On One Side of the Double Edge Sword IS Positives Thanksgiving, Gratefulness, Appreciation, Praise Reverence, Respect, Blessing Others Giving Purity, Holiness Morals, Worship, Repentance Non-Judgmental, Seeing Good In All Acceptance of All

On the Other Side of the Double Edge Sword IS Negatives: complaining ungrateful unappreciative critical spirit Irreverent, criticizing others taking stirring up strife unconsecrated mind works of flesh self ego hard-hearted overly optioned focusing on short-coming seeing superior

Hebrews 4:12 The Word of God is living and active. Sharper than any double-edged sword, it penetrates even to dividing soul and spirit, joints and marrow; it judges the thoughts and attitudes of the heart. NIV Matthew 12:34 Jesus said… for out of the abundance of the heart the mouth speaks. Again we read in Proverbs 4:23 Keep your heart with all diligence; for out of it are the issues of life. Jesus said again in Matthew 12: 37 For by your words you will be justified and acquitted, and by your words you will be condemned and sentenced. AMP

The Trail to Glory [Christ In You] The Bible cannot only be heard but it has to be both heard and seen for it to be a witness in your world. Gold Nugget: The Two Witness [1]- Is Found in Job 42:5 Job declares… I had heard of You God only by the hearing of the ear, but now my spiritual eye sees You. Job had to go from hearing to seeing [2]- 1 Kings 19:12 after the earthquake a fire, but the Lord was not in the fire; and after the fire [a sound of gentle stillness and] a still, small voice. Elijah had to go from seeing to hearing.

• You will need a hearing ear [heart] and a seeing eye [mind] to have a complete witness

The Good News of the Bible is a dual one; it has to be presented together. It is both the News of Light and the News of Life. Among the well known verses to support these claims are found in 2 Corinthians 4:4 ‘the Light of the Gospel of the Glory of Christ’ and the verse about the news of life in. 1 John 1:2 ‘Eternal life has appeared’. Gold Nugget: the News of Light can be presented by any minister or evangelist who knows how to minister the message of Christ, however, the News of Life is not related to words. Life cannot flow through words except if the well or source of life in the person has been opened. ** We say that whoever believes has eternal life. Of course this is true and it is a base truth. However, we see another verses like 1Timothy 6:12, 19 where Paul says to Timothy “take hold of the eternal life”. Gold Nugget: Eternal Life you always have had because you are of God from the beginning. The very termed when used [Eternal] means No Beginning with No Ending. God always was, always been, and you were found in Him from the beginning John 15:27 Jesus tells His disciples….you also will testify and be My witnesses, because you have been with Me from the beginning. John 6:54 Jesus said … Whoso eats My flesh, and drinks My blood, has Eternal Life; and I will raise him up at the last day. Also in John 17:3 Jesus said…. This IS Eternal Life: [it means] to know and to perceive, to recognize, to become acquainted with, and to understand God As Father, who is the only true and real God, and likewise to know Him Intimacy AS Jesus [as the] Christ the Anointed One, the Messiah, Gold Nugget: Consider that YOU ARE Eternal because you are Of God, then concern you must take hold of it and develop and grow the character of that Holy Thing which is Eternal life within you. Consider The purpose of this Pathway for Eternal to follow is to get to the Glory Stage of life which is the God Conscious-ness life, it starts as follows: • [1]- Faith, that ones possess then taking a hold on to,

• [2]- Eternal Life which requires a Revelation; • [3]- this Revelation results in a Transformation; • [4]- then the Transformation changes into Transfiguration. Gold Nugget: At the point of Revelation there IS Light, if walk out in obedience will bring about your Transformation, which will produce the Mind of Christ within, and from the inner working of the Christ Life working deep within the consciences level of the man will produce the man’s Transfiguration which at this stage will become the man’s Covering of The Glory.. John 1:4 In Him [Jesus Christ] was Life, and the His Life was and still IS the Light of men. Romans 12:2 …be not conformed to this world: but be you transformed by the renewing of your mind, so that you may prove what is that good, and acceptable, and perfect, Will of God. Matthew 17:2-5 Jesus was transfigured before the disciples: and Jesus face did shine as the sun, and his raiment was white as the light. a bright cloud overshadowed them [the Glory Cloud]: and behold a voice out of the cloud, which said, This is my beloved Son, in whom I am well pleased; hear ye him. Christ is our example; [1]-He says Glorified Words and [2]- He Does Glorified Deeds. **Does our present theology limit us by giving to us an impression that this Glory will happen later after we go to heaven in the “glorified bodies”. A careful study in the Bible shows that God wants to give us a foretaste of this Glory here. In Romans 3:23 it says that when the fall happened, they fell short of the Glory of God. Since all have sinned and are falling short of the Honour and Glory which God bestows and receives. The deep desire and need of the person is the Glory of God. Until the person tastes a little bit of His Glory, he will always feel that there is something empty and he is not satisfied. Psalms 34:8 O taste and see that the Lord [our God] is good! That is why Jesus prayed in His intercession prayer saying John 17:22 the Glory that You have given Me, I have given them” so that they may be one, even as we are one: The Lord wants to reflect His Shakinah (His Glory) on the person. Gold Nugget: Glory does not fill a place, the vessel that Glory fills is the heart and spirit and soul of a passionate man or woman. Example: Found in Genesis 8:9 …. the dove sent out by Noah found no rest for the sole of her foot, yet we see Matthew 3:16 …the heavens were opened unto Jesus, and Jesus saw the Spirit of God descending like a dove, and lighting upon Him: Actually this will be the strongest and most effective thing that pulls the person upwards despite all the challenges. Colossians 3:1 states… If you then be risen with Christ, seek those things which are above, where Christ sits on the right hand of God. The News of the Gospel as Life requires the “Formation of Christ” in us.

The Third Dimension- God Conscious-ness

Proverbs 22:20 Have not I written to thee excellent things in counsels and knowledge. Word excellent things denotes in the Hebrew “a three-fold measure” Through-Out the Word we find God always moving in a 3 fold dimension Outer Court, Inner Court, Holy of Holies etc: 3 is the Biblical Number for perfection *** God Is speaking to the Vineyard in what I call “Deeper Dimensions OF His Intentions”. January 2008 the Vineyard mission was to create the Positive Zone with its 16 prenatal vitamins this was our first dimension. August 2009 - ? and beyond the Vineyard second dimension is to “Form” the Christ Nature Zone here within this sphere of Living the vitamins have now become the “Attributes” of the Living Christ within the believers nature

The Progression of the Spiritual Life Proverbs 22:20-21 Have not I written to you excellent things [3 fold] in counsels and knowledge, so that I might make you know the certainty of the Words of Truth; that You might answer the Words of Truth to them that send unto you? ** For our maturity to reach its full potential all 3 stages of the Word must be birth and experience within our walk here on earth. Natural Spiritual God-Like The Outer Court The Holy Place The Most Holy Place Positive Zone Christ Nature God Conscious-ness The Hidden Man The Inner Man The New Man For all Israel For the Priest For the High Priest Jesus the Savior Christ the Anointing The Lord Born of the Spirit Fruits of the Spirit Fullness of the Spirit Born an heir Earnest of the Inheritance Full Possessions Babies Children Adults New Birth Holy Spirit Baptism Maturity Little Children Young Men Fathers Justification Sanctification Glorification Milk Bread Meat Thirty-fold Sixty-fold Hundred-fold Feast of Passover Feast of Pentecost Feast of Tabernacles Baptism in Water Baptism in the Spirit Baptism in the Fire Spirit has been saved Soul is being saved Body will be saved Common Salvation Great salvation Eternal Salvation Way Truth Life Thanksgiving Praise Worship Faith Hope Love Prophet Priest Kings Walk Run Mount Up Natural Light Artificial Light Divine Light Fruit More Fruit Much Fruit Birthright Blessing Inheritance Out OF Egypt Through the Wilderness Into the Land Foolish Virgins Wise Virgins Watchman Gleanings Harvest First-fruits Diving Healing Divine Health Divine Life Brass Vessels Silver Vessels Golden Vessels Workers Warriors Worshippers Seal with circumcisions Seal with Holy Spirit Seal with Mind of Christ [This list taken from Dr. Kelly Varner Book Prevail pages 84-85]

*** The 3 fold dimension of the Vineyard IS: Dimension #1 - Positive Zone with the 16 Prenatal Vitamins creating within the believer a prosperous productive life for the purpose in “reversing the curse” within their earth realm. The Opposite of the Positive Zone is a “negative life” filled with negativity, depression, dreadfulness and self induce curses. Dimension #2 - Christ’s Nature the 16 Vitamins have become by now the “Attributes” of the Christ Nature within the believer mind-set and behavioral patterns. The Opposite the Christ Nature is possessing a “Anti-Christ” nature, this nature is defined by the character within the believer being totally opposite of the Christ’s Nature Dimension #3 – Living and Co-Creating from God Conscious-ness, within this dimension the individual lives from [1]-Integrity, [2]- Spirit, and Higher God Conscious-ness. In this 3rd Dimension there IS NO opposite of character, nor any opposite behavioral patterns. Within this Dimension even the sub-conscious-ness has become the very character of the Christ. Like taking a breath of air you just do it without even having to think before you breathe. Your actions and behavioral patterns are always Christ-like 1 John 4:17…..because as He [God] Is, so are we in this world. KJV 1 John 3:3…every man that has this hope in him purifies himself, even as He [God] is pure. KJV 1 John 4:4 Little children, you are of God you belong to Him and have already defeated and overcome them the agents of the antichrist, because He Who lives in you is greater and mightier than he who is in the world.
