John 17:3 ( KJV)
“And this is life eternal; that they might know thee the only true God, and Jesus Christ, whom thou hast sent.”
(John:17:3 ( AMP)
[3]And this is eternal life: [it means] to know (to perceive, recognize, become acquainted with, and understand) You, the only true and real God, and [likewise] to know Him, Jesus [as the] Christ (the Anointed One, the Messiah), Whom You have sent.)
To know is herein the Greek word “gnosko” which means full understanding , to be fully persuaded, understand by experience, not mere intellectual activity and some instances used as a fact of intimacy thus a relationship between the knower and the object to be known.
To have eternal life is to have a full understanding of who He is and what Christ is experientially, it is an experiential relationship with God and His son developed, aided by the spirit, worked and established through the word and prayer. Once we come to that point, we can evidently manifest God!! We ought to shift to the full understanding of who He is, what He has done on the cross in order to be that which He has imputed upon us. So Paul prays that we may be able to comprehend the depth of His love, fully persuaded of what Christ accomplished at the cross and of the power that is at work in us, once we come to that, we have embraced eternal life in it’s fullness.
Ephesians 3:18-19
¹⁸May be able to comprehend with all saints what is the breadth, and length, and depth, and height; ¹⁹And to know the love of Christ, which passeth knowledge, that ye might be filled with all the fulness of God.
Once humanity in Christ comes to that understanding, guilt won’t find it’s place, weakness won’t find it’s grip, temptation wont find it’s hold, creation won’t plead for freedom because man in Christ has expressly come to the manifestation of that which He ought to manifest; power , authority, dominion and God Himself.
John 1:4
In him was life, and the life was the light of men. And the light shineth in darkness; and the darkness comprehended it not.
There is a realm beyond the Adamic breath of life, and this realm is accessed through the word itself, so scripture says;
John 6:63
It is the spirit that quickeneth; the flesh profiteth nothing: the words that I speak unto you, they are spirit, and they are life.
This word is Christ, that has no end!! Once we understand His word, we can reflect His light, breaking forth thereby diminishing any darkness, and once this word projected, we can release His possibilities.
Realise that what you perceive Jesus as, is what you receive. With His word, a fullness of what He desires in you is created , with a meditation of His word you become Zoe in manifest. (God’s life manifest)
John 6:53-54
⁵³Then Jesus said unto them, Verily, verily, I say unto you, Except ye eat the flesh of the Son of man, and drink his blood, ye have no life in you. ⁵⁴Whoso eateth my flesh, and drinketh my blood, hath eternal life; and I will raise him up at the last day.
The Holyspirit is the keeper of this life, the fuel that runs. Christ makes it all possible for even common Man. We have to relate intimately with the Spirit of God to manifest this life. This is the essence of these words when He says, Except yee eat my flesh and drink my blood!! It’s a communion, a fellowship developed through faith, a oneness with Him, developed through your understanding of the word for His word is a lamp unto our feet, and through prayer, for this reason Jesus always isolated Himself from the crowds to relate with the Father, in that place we come to manifest His radiance, a transfiguration of self.(an undeniable intimacy with Himself is what He seeks)
Many possess this life but fail to manifest it, yes you believe in His Lordship but haven’t come to the full understanding of what He accomplished on the cross neither of the fact that you ideally died with Him and ressurected with Him in power and might and dominion and are no longer operating from the earthly realm but from a bove, seated in heavenly places with Him! For as surely as Paul said, the kingdom of God is not just talk but power, most quote scriptures, talk scriptures but aren’t manifesting Zoe!! “God has allowed us to be fully persuaded in the mind of Christ. “
Prophetic Utterance:
I am aware that when I show up, God has showed up, fully persuaded in the mind of Christ , I am full of God , I am the revelation of the mystery of Christ, determined in purpose to know Him that I may progressively become deeply intimate and well acquainted with Him, perceiving and recognizing and understanding the wonders of His Person strongly, clearly and coming to know the power outflowing from His resurrection, continually transformed in spirit into His likeness even to His death thus liberty from flesh and life being liberty to manifest eternal life.
