"We speak the hidden mystical wisdom of God, which God ordained before
the world unto our glory: Which none of the princes of this world knew: For had
they known it, they would not have crucified the Lord of glory. But, as it is written,
Eye hath not seen, nor ear heard, neither hath it entered into the heart of man
to conceive the things which God hath prepared for them that love him. But God hath
revealed them unto us by his spirit: For the Spirit searcheth all things, yea, the
deep things of God. For what man knoweth the things of a man, save the spirit of
a man, which is in him? Even so the things of God knoweth no man, but the spirit
of God. Now we have received, not the spirit of the world, but the spirit which
is of God; that we might know the things that are freely given us of God. Which
things also we speak, not in the words which man’s wisdom teacheth, but which
the Holy Ghost teacheth; comparing spiritual things with spiritual. But the natural
man receiveth not the things of the Spirit of God: For they are foolishness unto
him; neither can he know them, because they are spiritually discerned. But he that
is spiritual judgeth, or discerneth all things.” -
1 Corinthians 2:7-15
There is an element in the gospel
of Christ so disturbing that the world will forever reject it, but never forget
it; and the church will waver between patronage and persecution. Yours is the present,
for the world will ridicule or crucify us; but the future is ours

Now in our generation there is a rising 'voice',
another rushing wind of the Spirit, speaking one collective word, which is Paul's
"mystery hid from ages and generations, which is Christ in you."
In the past, this has been a hidden truth, known
only to a few in each generation but, today, it is being shouted from the housetops,
spoken from the mouths of many who will bring their own light as to who Jesus Christ
is in their unique temple of His own body.
That simple word is this; "I live, yet not I,
but Christ liveth in me."
This word is bringing to the Body of Christ the fulfillment
of its purpose, as our attention has been diverted from ourselves and our perpetual
weakness onto the Living God who, by His Spirit, is manifesting Himself as Christ
in our individual human lives. Those who discover this total consciousness-changing
Reality, know the time of "the singing of the birds has come."
Nature indeed joins in the chorus, for it is in the
"rest" of the people of God, where, paradoxically, we join Him in His
travail to bring forth the Bride of Christ in purity and beauty, by taking "His
yoke upon us," and thereby find "rest unto our souls" in the midst
of Divine Labor.
The Church perhaps has come to its end and final hour, when a great time of testing
may be coming on the earth. Though we feel the stress; the weakness of our own human
frame, we still know Christ is in us and -- "The shout of a King is among us!"
For the King has come, who has all authority, all power, and He has come taking
the reins of the government of each of our lives upon His shoulders, as we know
Him as ourselves in union and oneness.
The purpose of our website is to provide a forum for many witnesses, both old and
new, to testify to this one great All-encompassing Truth: "that God is above
all, through all, and in us all; working all things after the counsel of His
own will, and that we as individual stones in the building of God, are Christ
manifest in our mortal flesh."
So please come to a feast of the multitude of witnesses
we have assembled, and do not hesitate to write or comment with questions or your
own witness of how God has come to live fully and abundantly in YOU.
Truth is found in many sources…denominations,
books, writings, songs, movies, life experience, religions because God is as He
says He is…All and in all.
While we do not recommend the full body of works
by each person whose writing is contained on this website, we are not afraid to
choose pearls as they are made known to us. We thank you for joining us in the discovery
of our God who will remain always larger, fuller, broader, higher and wider than
our idea of Him. Praise be to His holy name!
