As He Is, So Are You — Right Now (Why Your Heart Can't Receive It Yet)

Some of you may have seen Matthew's latest video, the one where he spoke at Legacy Church. Something he said there sent me back ten years, to a leather shop in Vietnam. He quoted Francois: you believing in gold does not make it gold — but you believing that gold is gold makes it currency. It makes it useful to you. I was having boots made, and I asked Dad whether I should put something on them. He said: Revelation 1:14-15. "The hair on His head was like wool, as white as snow, and His eyes were like blazing fire. His feet were like bronze glowing in a furnace, and His voice was like the sound of rushing waters." I loved it. That is who Jesus is, I thought, and He walks with me. Then, in a still small voice: you are My son — so that is what you look like. I shrugged it off. I was willing to call God my Father in a religious way: adopted, in the family, but a different class of being, with a gap between us. Because I would not receive it, I lived another four or five years with the same illnesses, the same stresses, the same weight in my body and my mind. "As Christ is, so are we in this world." Not in heaven. Not one day. Right now. He made no distinction, no partial version, no becoming it later. Here is what I did not see: refusing what He says about you is not humility. It is pride. I thought pride was boasting. But wanting to stay in charge of my own worthiness, my own righteousness, my own identity — deciding I was not good enough for what He had already declared over me — that was pride. He gives grace to the humble. He does not work through a stone, He works through bread. He was not resisting me; He simply could not work through that. You cannot pour new wine into an old wineskin. Ten years ago the wine came and my heart was still old leather — religion, unworthiness, fear — and it could not stretch. Years later I finally said: this wineskin isn't working for me anymore. And I threw it out. Then came the night of communion, when I saw Jesus hold out His hands, and I put mine on His, and I saw us become one — and He showed me I was looking into a mirror. It felt like lightning through my head and my whole body. The next day almost everything changed. I came off my pills, my back straightened out, my wounds healed, my mood lifted, and I saw myself as a new being. If this starts to feel blasphemous, you are probably on the right track. It should stretch you — He is telling you something your mind has not comprehended yet. So work on your heart to receive the truth more than on proving the truth. It is already true. It has been true from the beginning. The gold is lying on the table, and Dad is saying: believe that it is gold, so it can become currency in your life. Let's go for the hundredfold.
