“Buried with him in baptism, wherein also ye are risen with him through the faith of the operation of God, who hath raised him from the dead.”
Colossians 2:12 KJV
God is talking to us today on the need, to, first disappear. Do you know what I mean when I say you must disappear? The first and most crucial step in your walk of salvation is to receive Christ. You can’t walk into dominion without receiving Jesus. But it doesn’t stop there. As you have received Jesus, the next thing is, walk ye in Him. What does that mean? Just as Jesus has entered your heart, you should also enter into Him.
The Bible says, ‘if thou shall confess the Lord Jesus with your mouth and believe in your heart that God has raised him from the dead, thou shall be saved.’ But it doesn’t stop there. There is what I call a ‘spiritual intercourse’ that takes place where you disappear, and Jesus alone will appear. The problem with the Church is that not many people want to disappear. Every person wants to appear. Everyone wants to be seen.
Colossians 2:9-10 says, ‘For in Him dwells all the fullness of the Godhead bodily and we are complete in Him. We are expected to walk in Him, and be rooted and grounded, and be established in Him. That is how to be complete in Him, when you enter into Him. If you are still in yourself, you are not complete. You should enter Him. As you have received Jesus, walk in Him. Disappear into Him so that He will be your all in all. I declare to you today that as you disappear into Him, all that He has written concerning you shall be made manifest. You will testify in Jesus’ name.
