What is a manifested son of God? When a person is born again that person
becomes a son of God (even the women).
If you were to examine the life of a new believer you would see some
changes where God rules; but not all of their life would manifest God’s
control; but if a new believer grows normally than more and more of their life
will manifest God’s control. God’s will
is that all born again believers (Christians) manifest His Name on earth; but
knowing that not all His people will manifest His Name He predestinated those
He foreknew to enter the high calling and to manifest only His Name in this
last day.
For those of us who only want to manifest God’s Name on
earth we must submit to His will and forsake our own will: coffee, tea,
alcohol, sodas, are not wrong in themselves; but are we driven by our lusts to
consume them? Do we only eat what we
desire rather than what is set before us?
Are we driven to over eat? Are we
content to eat what is set before us?
Are we being led by God? Let each
examine ourselves than let us strive to be led by God.
Paul says in Philippians 4: 11-13, I have learned to be
content in all things: he would be happy with beans or steak; a tent or a
mansion; a scooter or a
Not all Christians can receive these sayings let him that
can receive it, receive it.
Jesus said in John 17: 6, “I have manifested Thy Name unto
the men which thou gavest me out of the world”.
Romans 8:18-23 say that all creation is waiting for the manifested sons
of God to set them free and to bring them into the glorious liberty of the
children of God.
When Jesus was twelve years old His wisdom confounded the
doctors of the law and He thought His Father’s business was to correct the
errors of the doctors of the law; but God’s real business for Jesus was just to
submit to His parents to age thirty.
When Jesus was thirty years old He was baptized than the heavens were
opened to Him and He realized He could do only those things He saw His Father
do.
Jesus did only those things He saw His Father do and it
was at that time He only manifested His Father’s Name.
Many of God’s people do the works that they figured out
with their own mind by study of the Bible and other good books not knowing that
those works are not the Father’s works but only self righteousness; but if they
learn (as Jesus did at 12 years of age) what the Father’s real will for them is
than they can be set on the high road to manifested sonship.
Our own works: the best we can do is only wood and the
worst we can do is only stubble it will not last; but only burn in the judgment
fires at the end. Our works done at the
direction and power of the Holy Spirit gold, silver, and precious stones will
only be purified further by the judgment fires at the end 1 Corinthians 3;
however all God’s people will ultimately be saved even though their works may
burn up.
So how can we become a Manifested Son of God? All the things we do at God’s command cause
us to manifest God’s Name; but till we are born again in our souls we will not
always manifest God’s Name on Earth.
So how can we be born again in our souls? 1 Peter 1: 9 says, “Receiving the end of your
Faith, even the salvation of your souls”.
1 Peter
Our job is just to do what God says and God’s job is to
cause Christ to be formed in us (born again souls). Malachi 3: 1 says, “The Lord whom you seek
shall suddenly come to His temple (Christ formed in us). Our job is just to do what He says and He
will not fail to do His part at the right time.
