Takeaway

Entering Into the Finished Work of Christ

Ron:

Welcome to Live Behind the Veil. In today's conversation, the family explores what it means to enter into the finished work of Christ and rest in what God has already accomplished. As they share testimonies and revelation, this discussion unfolds around becoming yielded vessels in the Father's hands, trusting His process of refining and learning to walk in simple faith and contentment.

This episode is a powerful reminder that our journey with God is not about striving through human effort, but about allowing Christ to live and move through us as we grow into His purpose

Ron:

He has completed and perfected that which concerns us. Did He really mean that, or is it, yeah, He said it, but you're not really complete?

Mike:

That's what God believes, and that counts. Our unbelief doesn't count.

Ron: It doesn't count. No. That's a good way to put it. Yeah. I like that. Your unbelief doesn't count.

Dale:

What that scripture does is it gives us the feeling and the idea and the actual commitment of Him, "I've got a finished work for you." And how does that start out? It starts out with salvation. You're gonna go through many things before you have finished what He has already finished for you.

Mike:

Yeah, another way to look at that is He's the potter, we're the clay. We're that lump of clay sitting there, and it says we are His, God's,workmanship, created in Christ for good works, which the Father foreordained for us to- ... walk in. Yeah. So it's not what we come up with in our pea brains as, "Oh, I'm gonna go down and mow the lawn for so-and-so, and that's a good work."

It's nothing to do with that because it's what God's creating us to be as channels for Him to move in and through.

Ken:

No matter how long I walk with God, it has nothing to do with me other than I'm a vessel. He is absolutely in charge of my life. He's the one that speaks through me. My only job is to submit to His will and to do what He's showing me, teaching me, sh- and actually doing through me.

The only thing we really can depend on is Him, His anointing, His Word that's burned into our hearts that we walk with, and He speaks that Word through us.That's what really matters.

Dale:

We're coming to realize that He's the smelter. He's the one who provides the fire to take that clay off of the t- wheel and to fire it so it is strong and very usable.

He's not only that, He's moving as a husbandman. He's a farmer, one who plants the seed and expects a harvest. He plants so much in us, and a lot of it He leaves up to us to make ourselves available, that He can do some pruning, maybe do- some work with us, that we need a little spray of something to get rid of some of the bugs we're carrying around.

He's a husband unto us. And I think that has a lot to do with the cross because of the transition that we go through like Jesus did, the transition from flesh to spirit. I get glimpses, and you get a glimpse, of what God has created you to be. You can't look and see yourself the way God sees you without it being a humbling experience, and there's a great deal of rejoicing in it.

Mike:

When I look back on Aaron, he was our miracle boy. He couldn't walk, couldn't talk, bedridden, wheelchair-ridden for 13 or what? Almost 17 years. What excuse do I have? I can't sit around and do nothing. I have to avail myself and make myself available for the Lord to do something in or through me because he was my plumb line that said, "If I, God, can move through this little guy who the world would think is nothing, I can move through anything."

And that really keeps me humble. Just can't get real proud and arrogant when you have a plumb line like him to look back to because it, it's like looking back to the Lord on that cross.

Ron:

We are transitioning into the life of authority, power, blessing, anointing, favor. God has not slated us for eternity to be under this Adamic nature and oppression.

All the stuff that we've had to walk through, that's been a very - we may count it as a lot, 30 years, 40 years, but that's insignificant in eternity. The fulfillment is so far beyond our carnal mind, for sure. I think we're beginning to get some revelation of it, little peaks here and there of what it means to walk, really walk as a son, which has nothing to do anymore with the oppression- or Adamic nature. It has to do with immersing ourselves into the Father.

Ken:

When Jesus did what He did and God seated Him at His right hand, He rested from all of His work.

He had... He was done. He had nothing more to do except to intercede for us to come into that same relationship, that same place.

I was just thinking how interesting it is to think about the roll call of faith in Hebrews 11. All of these people did what they did, and it was very significant, but they never entered into the rest. You know why? Jesus Christ is our rest. He is the finished work. And then He sat down at the right hand of God and interceded.

What's He interceding for? For all of us to come into that same relationship with the Father.

Dale:

I'm going to give myself to His will, not my will, but thine be done. He'll give us a promise, and we won't understand it. But if we say, "You said this, Lord," and we say, "Okay, Lord, bring me into it," and He'll do it.

Ken:

Realize that He's appearing to you all the time. We make this relationship with God sometimes just too damn difficult because it's not difficult. It's very simple, very simplistic. Jesus said, in fact, "You must become as a little child if you enter into the kingdom." What does that mean?

Ron:

It goes back to Christ said to the disciples when they asked Him, "Is this the time? Is this the time for the kingdom?" He goes, "I don't know. No one knows except the Father. And He ain't telling." He just ain't telling. It's a walk of faith and trust, and it unfolds daily.

Ken:

Enjoy the ride. You are walking down a path that God chose for you, and you've received His joy, and you're walking on believing Him for everything to happen, but you don't know exactly what it'll be.

It's an adventure. Enjoy the path. Enjoy the ride.

Ron:

This is a huge step for everybody, is learning to be content. The word content, what does that mean, content? Content with God, content with a walk with God, content now. Not what you're going to get or you possibly could reach into or what could possibly happen, all the stuff that we've heard and we've talked about.

But no, no, no, no. Now, today, this moment, can you be content in your relationship with the Lord?

Ken:

You're looking to find out what you're going to receive after all of this time. There's only one thing you're going to receive, and that is that you have a walk with God.

Ron:

Thank you for joining us on Live Behind the Veil. As you continue your walk with the Lord, remember that He is faithful to complete the work He has begun in you. The Father is leading each of us into deeper trust, greater rest, and a fuller relationship with Him. May this word encourage you to surrender to His will, enjoy the journey He has prepared for you, and find contentment in His presence today.

Until next time, keep walking in faith and living behind the veil
