PSALM 23 AND UNIONPart 3

THE BUBBLE. SEVERING CONTACT WITH THE SPIRIT WORLD OF THE EVIL ONEWhen He took me into Union, He showed me that I was placed in a Bubble, not unlike the sac in the expectant mother’s womb where the baby grows. In that sac is the provision of the amniotic fluid - it’s the still waters. These still waters inside the spiritual womb you have been placed in are gently caressing your spirit and soul 24/7, nurturing, cleansing the soul, keeping life pure, holy, and unadulterated, creating an ambiance of Heavenly bliss.
How do I know this? He took me there.
You can’t see or feel the Bubble, but the spiritual world knows it is there. They can see it. Everyone who goes into Union is put into one of these spiritual bubbles. Why? Because of what He is doing by taking you into Union. When He crucifies your Sinful Nature, He is severing your contact with the spirit world of the evil one.
You, as a Christian, unless you have gone into Union, don’t understand how much you are still connected to the temporal world and are easily deceived to run after it - because it feels familiar.
You get saved and feel the whole world has changed as a result, but then you find out you are still connected to it by your Sinful Nature. You also realize that it is not the world that has changed but you who are undergoing a metamorphosis.
In the New Testament, in almost every Book, you will see terminology relating to this nature of sin. The Spirit begins a process in you the minute you get saved wherein He can obliterate the Sinful Nature. The Lord must do it. You cannot do it. All you can do is work with Him by turning away from the temptation to sin every time you have the opportunity. To destroy the Sinful Nature - you cannot do it, you cannot cast it out – only He can do it for you, and He will do it for you if you obey.
CO-CRUCIFIXION - THE ERADICATION OF THE SINFUL NATURE
The Sinful Nature has to be eradicated before you go into UNION. You have the whole teaching on it in Romans 6-8. It is called the co-crucifixion, where the Sinful Nature is crucified as though you had gone to the Cross with Jesus. He has crucified and removed it from you, and with it, this little umbilical cord that never got severed - it is finally severed. The minute it is severed, our Savior wraps you in the Kingdom Bubble because now you have been totally delivered from the spirit of the world.
I can tell you it feels different. It is so incredible. There is a purity about life that is restored. There is an innocence about life that is restored. Temper problems are taken care of. Every sin listed by Christ and Paul is taken care of with the eradication of the Sinful Nature.
Things that satan used to be able to do by speaking into your ear, most temptations get shut off because you are in this Bubble. Does it mean no more problems? No, but you will have it from within the Bubble and not from the lake of the spirit of the world. There are many spirits of the world that keep the satanic ambiance flowing to those not protected by this amazing source of protection. So your soul is never groping for the things you used to love. Though satan’s spirit of darkness keeps the eyes of the sinner looking for the world, looking for satisfaction from the passions of the flesh. He has a tough time enticing those who have entered this kind of protection. When our Father puts you in His Bubble, satan’s mischief is all but cut off.
Satan can still tempt you, but it is different. Because you live in this Bubble, you live in an environment that is pure, holy, righteous, and filled with the love of God. So when Satan tempts you, it is super obvious. Whereas before, you didn't know if you were being tempted or if it was your hungry flesh. NOW YOU KNOW. When you are in the Bubble. Satan’s world becomes very painful as it accosts the pure soul of one made into Christ’s image.
You HAVE BECOME THE NEW CREATION:
This New Creation is all purified man and the Spirit of God. You are now a mature son/daughter of God because you have gone through the maturing process to be rid of the last vestige of the world so that you can walk with God in purity.
Anyone can live here. Anyone can have it. A child can have it, but you have to pay the price. You have to say no to the world.
STILL WATERS: THE FLUID:
It offers protection but also nurtures and feeds you inside this Bubble all the time. I only know of one other person in the States who has that. (I am not saying there is only one other person, I just know of one other.) It is absolutely common and necessary for you to have this protection, or you would be vulnerable. In Union, you now become an instrument, a tool of God to wreak havoc, damage, and devastation to satan’s world. Satan will try to pull you out of that sacred place.
YOU CAN BE LURED OUT - but you won’t live much longer:
3 He restoreth my soul: he leadeth me in the paths of righteousness for his name's sake.
Did you know your soul needed to be restored? Did you know your soul needed to be restored, NOW? Do you think a restored soul will be different from a soul that is not? The Fruits of the Spirit are the Fruits of God’s Spirit that have matured in YOU. That is the person you become when the Sinful Nature is eradicated. You don’t live in fear, confusion, and restlessness. I tell you the Truth. It is a different life, and you have become a different person - He owns you completely.
In Union, when you talk to the Lord, you don’t feel like you are talking to Him at the threshold of Heaven. Christ is IN YOU, and you feel it. I am not talking about Christ having a corner of your soul. Jesus owns every part of you. When you think, He is thinking through you. When you speak, He is speaking through you. That is what Paul meant when he said, “You have the mind of Christ.”
A Christian who is always causing strife, has a bad temper, or has a problem with jealousy, do you think they have the mind of Christ? No. They have access to the mind of Christ because they are Christians. You will misunderstand the whole message if you think a Christian can live and walk and display the mind of the flesh and be in Union with Christ.
When you enter into Union, you are in Union with the Holy One. What you will display on your person and in your soul is the Holy One, and then you and all who know you will know you have the mind of Christ.
When the Father wants to talk to you, He speaks to you. You may hear His voice two or three times a day. You may not. But when He needs to talk to you, He will speak to you. You, in turn, will give the message to whomever. It is not like it is when you are just a Christian, and you do whatever you want to do six days a week as long as you go to church on Sunday. It isn’t the same. Do you hear me? I am asking for you to believe really fantastic things, but they are true.
If you have ever wanted anything in your life, WANT THIS WITH ALL YOUR HEART. ALL OF YOUR MIND. ALL OF YOUR SOUL. ALL OF YOUR STRENGTH.
So, the Lord begins the process of restoring your soul. One of those things Jesus does in this process is the removal of the Sinful Nature. As long as the nature of sin is inside of you, your soul is being corrupted. You may spend much time in the Word and prayer every week. But wherever the Sinful Nature controls, your soul is being corrupted. It can even leave a maimed soul behind if it is corrupted badly enough.
This is why someone can go into beautiful things with the Lord after salvation, but the next thing you hear about them, they are living on the streets. Because sin corrupted their soul, and that was never healed. Do you understand what I am saying? It is true. If the Church understood these principles, we would have a lot more success in converting the sinner. Amen.
THE PRE-FALL INNOCENCE:
The pre-fall innocence. Only God can do that. He is the only holy and righteous One. Some may wonder why they haven’t heard of this before. I don’t know. Maybe it is because now is the time and season like when the Baptists came on the scene, it was time for that theology to come and touch the Church with that Truth. So He has brought the Church up step-by-step, line upon line, and precept upon precept. All I know is that He is in a hurry to get you sold on this, get you running after it, and He will help you get it if you will do what you need to do.
4 Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death,
In Israel, there is a Valley of the Shadow of Death, and sheep have been lost there - the ridges they walk on are limited.
The Holy Spirit is trying to say - we are walking in the Valley of the Shadow of Death as long as the fire of God has not consumed the world. The Valley is this world.
One visit I had with the Lord, He called the world an IRON FURNACE. He knows how rough it is here. Why is this place called the Valley of the Shadow of Death? Because hell abounds here, not just below in hell, but above with evil spirits galore. On earth, there are many more evil spirits than there are human beings. It is dark. It’s the Shadow of Death because evil will take you into death.
Two words in the Bible that speak of death concerning a Christian are death, which is the separation from God (apostasy). A non-Christian lives there all the time. The second word for death literally means the death of the whole being. So, every place you go whether to the ocean or the mountains, it is the Valley of the Shadow of Death. Wherever you go, that is what you are dealing with in every sphere of the earth. Do you believe me? Unless the place has been wholly sanctified and God has set up a bubble around that place so that no devils can get through, you are in the Valley no matter where you go. You get on a rocket to the moon. You are in the Valley of the Shadow of Death. You can’t escape it.
HEAVEN ON EARTH
FEAR NO EVIL:
We, through Him, have conquered death. Now I am telling you that you can so conquer death through this process of coming into Union with Christ that while you are on this earth, you are living in Heaven at the same time. I am telling you the Truth. People don’t teach it because they don’t know it. When God wants you to know it because He wants to use you in this manner, He will teach you so that you don’t get hurt. You don’t have to be brought to spiritual death or total death. Fear no evil because God is with us. He will guide us. He will direct us. He will help us to have adequate spiritual food. Whatever we need to know and understand, He will give it to us to get us through the Valley of the Shadow of Death.
I will fear no evil
I love that!
for thou art with me;
thy rod and thy staff they comfort me.
I think we know the rod and staff speak of authority and power. They also speak of the Spirit and the Word.
Thy rod and thy staff they comfort me
His Word will comfort us as we move about in the Valley of the Shadow of Death. It will teach us. It will also destroy devils. The spirit, just as strong and important, is used for that purpose also. There is the correcting and convicting of the Holy Spirit. Every time you are convicted of sin and you repent and turn from the sin, there is a healing that has gone on in your soul. I have seen in visions how sin can leave huge scars on your soul like boils. Sin really does do that to your soul. He takes us in and begins restoring and developing our souls and healing them so we can walk in higher places with Him. How does He do it? Through the Spirit and the Word.
So, you can’t do both today for whatever reason, and you think you would like to have some of the Word today. The Word can heal you right on the spot if you let the Word do that, but you do need a regular diet of prayer.

In Him,
