A SECRET! The GREATEST secret! God's Greatest Secret!
The best Secret you could know but almost no one knows
this Secret! That’s why it's a Secret! God kept
it a Secret until just the right time! Now is the
time! You may be one of the very first to get in on
the secret - until now, one of the very few. The Bible
calls it "The Mystery of the Gospel of the Ages"!
Mystery means " A Secret"! Gospel means
"Glorious Good News"! Since this "Secret"
comes from The KING of Kings I call it
"The King's Greatest Secret!"
_____________________________________________________________________
If you learn this "Secret:
God promises that you will "live happily ever
after"!
God promises that you will live "The Overcoming
Life".
God promises you that all of your days you will be
"merry and bright".
God promises you happiness and success.
God promises you:
Great fulfillment
Lasting accomplishment,
Great personal satisfaction,
Peace that passes all understanding,
Joy unspeakable,
Full of glory,
Life eternal,
Riches untold, fullness of joy,
And
Pleasures forevermore!!!!
IF YOU GET THIS SECRET!!!
When I tell you this "Secret", you may
be tempted to say, "Oh silly, I already know
about this." But do you know that lass than 1
in 10,000 born-again believers knows this "Secret"?
This "Secret" is also a "mystery"!
That's why you will need to pay close attention and
pray especially that God will help you solve this
mystery, and help you learn this special "Secret"!
Let me ask you a quick question that will help you
know whether or not you already know this "Secret".
Quickly list the most important things that Christ
Jesus took of yours with Him to the Cross. Most Christians
will rightly say, "Yes, He took my sins, so I
can be forgiven." A few more will rightl This
"Secret" is also a "mystery"!
That's why you will need to pay close attention and
pray especially that God will help you solve this

Let me ask you a quick question that will help you
know whether or not you already know this "Secret".
Quickly list the most important things that Christ
Jesus took of yours with Him to the Cross. Most Christians
will rightly say, "Yes, He took my sins, so I
can be forgiven." A few more will rightly answer,
"Yes, He took my sicknesses, so that I can be
healed." Please stop for a moment to answer this
question.
WARNING!
Jesus prayed a strange prayer: He "rejoiced on
Spirit" and prayed, "I thank you, Father,
Lord of Heaven and Earth, that You have hidden these
things from the wise and prudent (of intelligence,
discernment and learning), and have revealed them
unto babes, (the child-like, the simple, the unskilled),
for so it did seem pleasing in Thy sight." Matt.
11:25 & Luke 10:2
Can you imagine Jesus and the Father getting a kick
out of telling a "Secret" that children
or retarded people understand, but remains hidden
from the smart, the educated, the wealthy, the wise?
There is a strange and mysterious quality about this
"Secret". It can stand in plain sight for
all of a person's life, and one might get the "Secret".
As we said, less than 1 in 10,000Christians know this
"Secret", even though it is I plain sight,
in the New Testament, which means that there is no
small chance that you will know this "Most Important
of Secrets!". It is even possible that you will
still not know the "Secret" even after you
read this little book. We have done our very best
to make this "Secret" plain, but God has
packaged this "Secret" in such a way that
you must really pay attention and sincerely ask God
to make the mystery lain and understandable.
Everything that we have and are from God is BY HIS
MERCY, GRACE, PITY, LOVINGKINDNESS, TENDER MERCIES,
LOVE, GRACIOUSNESS, GOODNESS, and CONDESCENSION -
every heartbeat, every breath, every good thought,
every kind deed, everything we give God or others
- "God has worked in us, both to will, and to
do of His good pleasure." And this is no exception.
This grace must be coupled with your intercession
- if necessary, we encourage - every heartbeat, every
breath, every good thought, every kind deed, everything
we give God or others - "God has worked in us,
both to will, and to do of His good pleasure."
And this is no exception. This grace must be coupled
with your intercession - if necessary, we encourage
you to beg God, and plead with Him, with thanksgiving
that He graciously grants you to know - this "Secret".
We encourage you to seek God, very respectively, with
great persistence - until God graciously, in His great
love for you, reveals it to you.
Here it is then:
THE
KING'S
GREATEST

"THE KING'S GREATEST
SECRET!"
to
contents
God has a "Secret"!! He would like to tell
it to You! The angels and men of God wanted to know
this "Secret", but God wouldn't tell them
for thousands of years. Then God told "The Secret"
to the Church through the Apostle Paul and other apostles
and prophets. That "Secret" was lost and
forgotten again during the dark ages, but now is being
told again in this special time to the Church. It's
"the King's Greatest Secret!" It needs to
be told so very much. Almost no one in the Body of
Christ today knows "The Secret". We have
ministered in many churches across the country and
in most of them we ask a certain question o find out
if they know "The Secret". In very few places
where we have ministered, did they know. The question
we asked them was,: What did Jesus take of ours with
Him to the cross?"
Will you take a minute to answer this before you
continue?
We get answers, all of them correct but not complete,
such as "He took our sins, our sicknesses, our
worries, burdens, fears etc." We say, "That's
true that He took these so we can be forgiven, healthy,
and without worry (some folks cast their burdens upon
Yahweh, the Mighty Right NOW God, but as a fisherman
casts, they sit and reel these burdens back to themselves.)
But the people still have not told the main thing
Christ took with Him to the cross! I suppose the reason
they do not know, is that it requires a revelation
from God, or one who has a revelation from God, to
share "The Secret, before they can know. What
a Wonderful Mystery!
MOUNT PO-PO-KAT-A-PE-TEL
to
contents
We believe that more than 9,999 Christians out of
10,000 relate to God in one of the following incorrect
ways:
They relate to God "long distance". That
is, they envision God as living way out beyond Mount
Popokatapetel somewhere and that if they pray real
long and loud and hard, that maybe God will hear them,
and that may be, but less likely, the answer will
get back. An old song says that Jesus leans out over
the battlements of heaven and yells down the distance,
"' Hold the fort, for I am coming', Jesus signals
still. Wave the answer back to heaven, ' By Thy grace
we will.'"
The other incorrect concept of God, (we shall see
in a moment why these are incorrect) is that of "A
little bitty God inside of a BIG person with still
BIGGER problems." We invite Jesus to come into
our hearts, and so He does, not as our very LIFE,
in most cases, but as a sometimes-thought-of "Guest".
(I don't like, nor will I say that prayer, "Come
Lord Jesus, be our guest…") I don't want
Him to be a guest, I want Him to come I as the Resident
President, the Master, my very LIFE!!! But some of
us, when we pray come I as the Resident President,
the Master, my very LIFE!!! But some of us, when we
pray Jesus hiding way down deep in our hearts somewhere,
we get our own echoes back as if we were talking into
a well. But God wants to be very Very VERY much more
real to us than these.
As my friend, Chuck Dodge, says, "God has a
consuming desire to make Himself real to us and to
live His life through us. In order for Him to really
become our Life, we need to correctly; and in order
to relate to Him in a really healthy way, we need
to know "The Secret"!
THE "SECRET"
!!!
to
contents
"The Secret" is found in plain sight in
a multitude of places in the Bible, especially in
places like John 17, Ephesians, Romans, Galatians,
Colossians, etc. BEWARE that when you hear this "Secret"
you not think too lightly or casually. The proof that
you got "the Secret" will be that you will
be able to consistently keep your heart and attitude
and spirit right. In fact, if you REALLY get "the
Secret", as the following scriptures indicate,
there will be o difference between Who Christ is at
the Father's right hand, and Who He is ----- in you!
"The Secret Mystery" is this: When Christ
went to the Cross, He took US with Him there! When
He died, WE died! When He was buried, WE were buried
with ALL of our insufficiencies, inabilities, and
instabilities!!!! Everything negative, nasty, weak,
or sinful about us, He took US to the Cross. Oh, Dear
One, if you grasp hold of this "Secret",
it will make the difference between you trying to
speak good things, and Christ speaking His words through
you.
Lord Jesus, please make this plain and understandable.
We believe together that You will make the Mystery
clear. “I praise Thee, O Father, Lord of heaven
and earth, that Thou didst hid these things from the
wise and intelligent, and didst reveal them to babes.
Yes, Father for thus it was well pleasing in Thy sight!”(Matthew
11:25 and Luke 10:21 KJ)
Please let me tell you more about “The Secret.”
When the Lord Jesus Christ went to the Cross, He took
you with Him there! YOU WERE THERE when they crucified
my Lord! Christ looked ahead into the present time
and saw you and decided that He could not help you
any other way, that He could not beat or bless you
into being what He wants you to be, could not educate
or “religious” you adequately, but that
the only hope for you was to take you with Him to
the Cross, and kill you dead, along with all of your
negative nature and qualities, and bury you. Unlike
many self-help books, Chris does not try to get you
to “hype” or hypnotize, “con”
or convince yourself into thinking that you are really
good or nice, adequate or O.K., but that you are horribly
hopeless and hideously helpless, apart from Christ
taking you to the Cross with Him and putting all of
your self to death and burying it in the tomb with
Him. So you do not need to kill yourself or commit
suicide, nor do your friends, because Jesus Christ
lovingly killed us softly already. But that is not
the end of the story!
YOU ARE BEAUTIFUL
!!!
to
contents
When Christ rose from the tomb, HE RAISED US UP as
a whole, new, beautiful, wonderful, adequate, sufficient,
glorious, superior, perfect, able, stable, secure
creation in His image in newness of Life so He can
come into us and BE our Life, Live your Life, BE our
perfection, BE our righteousness!!!

get this "Secret", that most of your deepest
questions will be answered as Jesus is the "Yes"

THE ROAD TO HELL
IS PAVED WITH GOOD EXCUSES
to
contents
Do you realize that if God Himself stepped down from
a fluffy white cloud and offered an easy way for us
to be consistently victorious, that many Christians
would simply not be interested?! The "Good News"
message, (that we can walk before the Lord consistently
pleasing in motive, thought, word and deed), would
be, to many "Christians", very "bad
news". A major reason is that they would have
to change their "doctrine" and when it comes
to doctrine, some folks would rather go to hell than
switch!
I have gone from door to door trying to persuade people
to invite Jesus Christ into their hearts as their
Lord, as a necessary FIRST step in escaping the eternal
flames of hell, but instead, they most OFTEN answer,
"Look, I've got my own _______. I was born a
_____., I was raised a ______, and I'm going to die
a ______!" Most of them might as well have added,
"And I am going to hell a _______!" Church
membership does NOT give a person entrance into the
Kingdom of God, but only being born again, as Jesus
declares I John 3:3-5. and Revelation 3:20, where
He tells us how. "I am standing at the door of
your life and I'm knocking. If you will invite Me
to come into your life and heart as Saviour and King
of everything, then I will come in." That's how
to be born again!
But after we're born again it's very important that
we don't begin to make excuses for not measuring up
to God's will for us, because, contrary to what we
have been taught, there is no excuse for not doing
the will of God! I've often wondered what would have
happened in the Garden of Eden if Adam would not have
made excuses, when God came and asked him why he "messed
up". Instead, Adam said, "The woman!"
(Then he added) "Whom YOU GAVE to me…"
I wonder what would have happened if Adam would have
said, "Lord, please don't blame Eve. Let all
the blame be upon me. She's the weaker vessel, and
I should have been looking out after her." Or,
what if Eve would have said the same? Instead, she
blamed the serpent. The only good thing I can think
of to say about the devil is that when God came to
him, he didn’t pass the buck or try to place
blame, (Never mind the fact that he didn't have any
place to pass it!)
But it is impossible for us to be both EXCUSING and
REPENTING at the same time. God will NOT forgive what
we are excusing. Most Christians have been brainwashed,
hypnotized, or otherwise programmed into thinking
that "nobody's perfect." The excuse, "I'm
only human after all….." is typical, but
definitely counterproductive.
Remember, the Lord gives His Word, many victory promises:
I Corinthians 10:13 says that, "There is NO temptation
taken you but such as is common to man: but GOD IS
FAITHFUL, Who will NOT let you be tempted above what
you are able, but will with the temptation, also make
a way of escape, that you may be able to bear it."
And in II Corinthians 2:14, “Now thanks be unto
God, Who ALWAYS causes us to TRIUMPH IN CHRIST, and
make manifest the savor of His knowledge by us in
every place.” (Victory=Always=everywhere!!!)
And Romans 8:37, “... In ALL THESE THINGS WE
ARE MORE THAN CONQUERORS THROUGH HIM that loved (loves)
us!” And,
Philippians 4:13, “I can do ALL things through
Christ Who strengthens me!!!”
But, so many of us, if we were honest and consistent
with our own system of unbelief and wrong doctrine,have
CHANGED these very Victory Scriptures to read OTHER
THAN
what God has actually said!!! We have tended to say
“No! God has NOT given me a way to escape!”
or “NO! God does NOT cause me to triumph in
every place and circumstance!” or”NO!
I am NOT more than a conqueror in all or even very
many of these things!” “I am not even
a conqueror, much less, more than a conqueror.”
Intricately interwoven into the fabric of our thinking
is some wrong doctrine that has been spuriously spread
throughout nearly all of Christendom. Protestants
and Catholics, EVERY denomination - it seems that
hardly anyone has been spared. This doctrine of the
dualism of nature, concerns our attitude toward our
bodies, toward pleasure, our flesh, perfection, victory,
- towards Life itself! A fresh revelation realization
of “The King’s Greatest Secret changes
all this.
MONSTROUS
MANICHEAN MADNESS
to
contents
The Church was fully free of faulty thinking in this
area until about the fourth and fifth century after
Christ, when a funny but phoney philosophy of “dualism”
infiltrated the Church from a man called “the
father of Christian philosophy and theology”.
He introduced a warped way of thinking into the Church
that was not corrected by the theologians or philosophers
that were to follow. Here is the man, the doctrine
and the correction to his approach.
St. Augustine, 354-430 A.D., was a Greek Manicheist
philosopher prior to his coming
into the Church. Here, we quote from the World Book
Dictionary: “Manchiean (man’ e ke’
en) -n, a member of a Gnostic sect, arising in Persia
in the 200’s AD., compounded of Christian, Buddhistic,
Zoroastrian, and other beliefs, and maintaining atheological
dualism in which the body and matter were identified
with darkness and evil, and the soul, striving to
liberate Itself, was identified with light and goodness.
- In other words, while God’s Hebrews believed
matter and the body to be bad or good, depending upon
the use to which it was put, - the Manichiests believed,
and taught, that the body was evil, and that everything
that the body did, or was, or said was only always
exceedingly sinful. Sound familiar? Nearly every church
and catechism and liturgy we know of, has something
of this within it. Some have even given the illustration:
that inside every person there is a white dog nature
and a black dog nature and that the one that wins
is the one you say “sic’em” to (or
feed) the most. That’s what we mean by “dualism”.
Instead, God’s Hebrews properly said that matter,
a pen, a human body was not bad in
itself, but that its inherent goodness or evil was
determined by what one did with that
matter or pen or human body. This is why, in Romans,
Paul says that ‘the instruments of our body
are slaves of righteousness if we yield them to do
righteous things, and that they are instruments of
unrighteousness if we yield them to do unrighteous
things.”
But the Manicheans said that the members of our body
are bad, because they were made
of substance, of material, of matter. So In Augustine’s
writings, he says that it is a sin
to watch a dog chase a rabbit. Why? Because the body
gets excited and involved, and says, “Let’s
see now, is the dog gonna catch the rabbit, or is
the rabbit gonna catch the dog?” Augustine said,
“I have learned to take my food as medicine.”
In other words,
he disciplined himself to the place where a big juicy
piece of beefsteak tasted like cod liver oil, Just
so his body would not get all involved, excited, and
sinful. My well rounded mother told me one time that
every act of sex was sinful. (She had four grown children!)
She quoted David’s verse, “I was born
and conceived in sin.” She didn’t know
the Jewish tradition about David’s personal
family situation. I said, “Mother, what a terrible
thing to say about us kids.”
The real question is NOT “Can I keep from sinning?”
but ‘Is God great enough to keep
me from sinning?!.” Is He? If someone asks me.
‘Do you ever get a wrong spirit or attitude
toward your wife or children or anyone?” or
if they say, ‘Don’t you ever sin?”
I respond, “I don’t recommend It!”
or ‘We’re not In favor of it.” If
they argue, ‘Do you actually think a person
can get through the day without sinning?!” I
respond, We’d advise it.”
If you admit that you do not sin, they will call you
a liar. But if you say you do sin, they will say.
“See there! It’s not possible to keep
from sinning.”
Mark Twain allegedly wrote in his memoirs. “Went
to church today. Preacher preached on sin. Only problem
was, I couldn’t rahtly tell whether he was for
It. ‘r again’ It!” You know? Sometimes
a body can’t tell by looking at some Christians’
lives and doctrines whether or not they’re in
favor of sin or against it, either!!!
HOW
LONG CAN YOU LIVE WITHOUT SINNING?
to
contents
I John 1:9 says that ‘If we confess our sins,
God is faithful and just, - and will cleanse us from
- (not “much”, or “most”,
but) - “ALL” unrighteousness!!!”
Let’s say you Just “1 John 1 :9’ed”
it. How much righteousness do you got left in yuh?
Doesn’t it say
“cleansed from ALL”?!. How long can you
stay cleansed from all unrighteousness through the
power of God, and by the Strength. and through the
Life of God lived through you??? 5 seconds? 5 minutes,
by God your Strength? 5 hours, through Christ your
Power? 5 days, with Christ as your Life? 5 decades,
with Jesus Christ AS YOUR
RIGHTEOUSNESS!!!!!?!. (Please refer to the above list
of Scriptures here. Or would you rather continue on
in your excuse-making and sinning?)
IF GOD DIDN’T
MAKE LITTLE GREEN APPLES IN MINNEAPOLIS
to
contents
There is a false doctrine called
“sinless perfection” that teaches that
we can reach a
state in this life where it becomes impossible for
us to sin. We are NOT teaching this false doctrine.
However, there is another false doctrine, which teaches
that ‘we cannot keep from sinning”! Please
carefully note the difference:
LIE #1: ‘Impossible to sin.” = ‘Sinless
perfection”
LIE #2: ‘Impossible to keep from sinning”.
= Lie of the devil.
THE TRUTH: ‘Possible NOT TO sin!!!” =
Given the POWER of God, and the Grace of God, and
the Spirit of God, and the Life of God, and the Word
of God, and the King’s Greatest Secret, etc,
etc. etc.!
Paul, in Philippians 3, uses the word ‘perfect’
in two different ways. In verse 12 he says
he’s not perfect and inverse 15, he says that
he IS!!! (I wonder why we only always hear that he’s
not?) Imagine, if you will, a little green apple,
just barely past the blossom stage, a little bitty
nubbin of a thing. But it’s perfect! No worms,
germs, dust, crust, must or rust. It’s not dashed,
bashed, crashed, slashed, hashed or gnashed. And now,
can you picture a perfectly perfect apple that’s
ruby, rudy, rosy, red, ripe and juicy’? If it
were any more ripe, it would be rotten: and if it
were any less ripe it would be sour and woody. Please
ask yourself this question. What particular things
are necessary for a smaller apple’s growth and
development into this mature apple? Are bruises, or
worms necessary? Is ‘hanging in there”necessary?
- To endure the long cold nights? - The hot summer
days, the wind, and rain? Some folks seem to think
that rebellion, backslidings, detours, lapses, luke-warmness,
wrong attitudes and spastic silliness are all necessary
to our growth and development in God. There IS a discipline,
but it is a discipline that pertains to the new person
or new man in Christ Jesus, and not the old man or
old self or nature. The old life HAS BEEN crucified
with Christ - not ‘is being”. We don’t
believe in beating the dead carcass. That would be
wasted effort, and futile. (Rom. 6)
So, we see that the flesh is neither good nor bad,
in or of itself, BUT depending upon the use to which
it is put. Adam, before he fell, had flesh, and our
redeemed bodies will be flesh. Even Jesus had flesh!
Hebrews 5 speaks of Jesus, ‘Who in the days
of His flesh - - offered up prayers with strong crying
and tears - - and - - though He were a Son, yet He
learned obedience through the things which He suffered.
And BEING MADE PERFECT, He became the Author of eternal
salvation unto all them that obey Him.”
Wasn’t Jesus already perfect? Of course! But
here we see that He also needed to “become perfect”!
Can we be perfect in the I John 1:9 ‘cleansed
from ALL unrighteousness” sense? Of course,
but we also need to become perfect in the ripe apple
sense of ‘growing in grace and in the knowledge
of the Son of God” and in the sense of Paul’s
pressing “toward the mark for the prize of the
high calling of God in Christ Jesus” - the fulfillment
of our adventures and destinies and callings of God!!!
Good news! We can be totally forgiven now, and the
power of God and His Life within, can KEEP us pure,
but we can grow in increasing levels of faith and
love and encouragement. Our increasing appreciation
of God and His creation need never cease!!!
CRISIS AND PROCESS
to
contents
So, there is both a crisis and a process to every
experience that we are to have in God : the New Birth,
the Lordship of Christ, Sanctification, (dedicated
and made holy), the Holy Spirit, etc.
Ask some “Christians” if they are saved,
and they’ll say, “I dunno, I’m workin’
on it.” (The Bible says we can KNOW! I Jn. 5).
But because they are always “working on”
the process of salvation, without the CRISIS of having
been born again, they won’t be because they
are always GOING THROUGH the door, but never quite
get IN. But one can ask others if they’re saved,
and they say, “Ya sure, I got saved 90 years
ago!” But, too many of them got saved and stuck!
They got through the door and then went to sleep for
89 years. The same thing is true of the Holy Spirit.
Some believe only in the process of being filled,
while others got “it”, and got stuck,
(or sprung leaks!). And the same thing Is true with
‘The King’s Greatest Secret” —
BOTH the crisis of appropriation AND the process of
abiding in Him - moment by moment, both are necessary
ARE YOU NOW READY TO DIE?
- THEN LIVE!!!
to
contents
You simply: #1. Know and “RECKON YOURSELF TO
HAVE BEEN CRUCIFIED WITH CHRIST’ (Rom. 6:6 -
this is the crisis), and #2. Then “CONSIDER
AND RECKON YOURSELF (here is the process) AS DEAD
INDEED UNTO SIN, SELF AND satan, but alive unto God
through Jesus Christ our Lord!!! (Rom. 6:11) ALLELUYAHWEH!!!
Please repeat this prayer:
Thank You, Dear Lord Jesus, for taking us to the Cross
with You and for raising us up with You in newness
of Life in You. Lord God, we receive You to BE all
that You are, In us, now and forever more. We receive
You AS OUR VERY LIFE to BE OUR VERY LIFE!!! Please
now, LIVE YOUR VERYLIFE THROUGH ME!!!
In Jesus’ Name. Amen.
Jesus said, “BE YE THEREFORE PERFECT, EVEN AS
YOUR FATHER IN HEAVEN IS PERFECT.” Matt. 5:48.
Jesus, as always, meant just what He said! He meant
“BE as
perfect as God!” Or would you prostitute and
change and twist and warp and noneffectualize the
Word of God here or any other place?
It does NOT mean: ‘try to be perfect”,
nor, “be perfect sometime after your body has
rotted”, nor, ‘give up on being perfect”,
nor, ‘it’s impossible to be perfect”,
nor, ‘wish that you were perfect”, nor,
“God isn’t great enough to make or keep
me perfect”, nor, “be theoretically (or
‘pretend”) perfect”, nor any of
that kind of silliness. ‘Would be” disciples
of the Kingdom, WONT BE disciples of the Kingdom of
God as long as they are messing with the commands
of the King of God’s Kingdom in this way! One
who changes the commands of the King is a Kingdom
anarchist and traitor.
When someone asks, ‘What does this verse mean?”
The best answer always is, ‘The Bible - this
VERSE - means just what it says!” because the
King means what He says. I believe that whenever people
disagree about a Scripture, it is because one or more
of them is not willing to accept what the Scripture
and King says.
THE GREATEST
MOMENT OF MY LIFE
to
contents
In November 1960, my friend, Patty Troug at Bethel
College told me, “John, as long as
you are calling ‘idealistic’, ‘unattainable’,
or ‘theoretical’ what God calls ‘necessary’,
‘practical’, ‘available’,
and ‘attainable’, YOU are calling God
a LIAR!!!” I had thrown a
book away from me in disgust, FOREVER TRIMPHANT by
Huegel, in which he quoted II Corinthians 2:14, ‘Thanks
be unto God Who in Christ ALWAYS causes us to
triumph, and manifests Christ through us in EVERY
place!” (JB) ‘Victory, at ALL times
and in every place! I had said “that’s
too idealistic”, but then I realized, as a result
of Patricia’s gentle rebuke, that I had been
calling God a liar, in that He had said, “Victory
always and everywhere.” And I had said, ‘Impossible”.
I did not want to call God a liar anymore, So l went
to my room, got out my Bibles, KJV, AMP, Gdspd, Greek
N.T., etc., and laid them out on the bed, and got
down on my knees in order to see just what God DID
say. Sure enough, God said, “Perfect victory
always - everywhere”, AND
“More than conquerors”, AND ‘Abundant
Life”, AND “Joy unspeakable”, AND
‘Full of
Glory”, AND ‘WE have the Mind of Christ”,
AND ‘Christ our Life”, AND ‘whatever
we ask”, AND “Greater works than these
shall ye do”, AND ‘I can do all things
through
Christ”, AND ‘With God all things are
possible” etc., etc., etc., etc. All these Bibles
said the same thing!!
So,
I decided to do three things:
to
contents
1. Confess every known sin, including having
called God a liar
Please note: If you cannot remember a time when
you specifically Invited Jesus Christ to come
and live on the Inside of you, please do this
NOW. That’s how to be born again!!!
2. Yield COMPLETELY to the Lord Jesus Christ.
I told the Lord Jesus that, If it were His perfect
will, that I would be willing to be sick, maimed,
killed, single, celibate, persecuted, misunderstood,
forgotten, married to anyone He said (I was
sure He was going to make me marry somebody
really terrible). Anyway, I really meant business.
Now, these first two steps I had taken many
times before, but I took them again. In fact,
we should always keep up to date with the Lard,
staying free from sin and staying in a totally
yielded state
3. Appropriate by faith the highest level walk
in God’s Spirit, with Christ AS your Life!
Invite Jesus Christ to come in to your life,
and actually BE your life and to LIVE HIS LIFE
through you. From the inside out, and take over
completely as your Saviour, Lord and Life!!!
|
Charles Trumble, in THE
LIFE THAT WINS , says that on this third
step of faith, everything
now depends. He suggests that we take a step of faith
with total disregard for the
presence (or lack of), accompanying signs or proofs,
because the transaction must be
based on faith rather than some feeling or tingle,
etc.
So, I remember reaching out my hand to the Lord God
and saying,
“Lord Jesus, I believe You have a walk for
me that I haven’t been experiencing; a relationship
and an experience with You that I haven’t had
before. Lord Jesus, I don’t
know what to call It, and I don’t know how to
get It, but whatever You call It and however one gets
It, I receive It from You now In cold, blind faith.,
not depending on outward feelings or ‘signs’
as the proof of the transaction.
Thank You very much. In Jesus’ Name,
Amen.”
Can you guess what happened? You guessed it. Nothing.
Outwardly, or on a feeling level, that is. I felt
really dead. Oh, I had accepted the Lord Jesus as
my personal Saviour many years before, and I had yielded
my Life to Him many times before. But the same thing
had happened to me as would have happened in the Old
Testament if one would have taken a clean lamb of
the flock without blemish and then sacrificed the
lamb under
the hot Israel sun - and that’s all. Can you
imagine the mess? The sacrifice NEEDED
the fire of God to come from heaven to light upon
and consume the sacrifice as a sign of acceptance
and anointing. I rose from my knees, in faith, really
sincerely believing that a genuine transaction had
taken place, yet feeling nothing.
I put away all my Bibles and climbed wearily into
my top bunk. After I was settled down I thought, “If
anybody asked me to praise the Lord right now, it
would be like someone asking me to praise a haystack.”
That was how UN-emotional I felt, yet I knew that
I
had made a genuine transaction with God. But I was
really tired, and had no positive
emotions.
CATACLYSMIC REVOLUTION
to
contents
Anyway, no sooner had that thought crossed my mind
about praising a haystack (indicating the lacking
emotional level of positive feeling), when Christ
BECAME my Life!, and I have never been the same since!
It seemed like a great dam broke on the inside, and
there came explosively gushing over me, and through
me, and to me, and from me, and upon me, and around
me, from deep within and from high above came
the Glory of God, and the Joy of God, and the Love
of God, and the Spirit of God, and the LIFE of God,
and the Peace of God, and the Presence of God, and
the strength of God, the Anointing of God, and the
Effervescent Flooding Overflowing Fullness of the
Living God!!! I have never been the same! Fabulous!
Incredible! Joyful! Invigorating! Beautiful! Astounding!
Healing! Wonderful! Marvelous! Lasting! Satisfying!
Miraculous! Life-changing! Christ BECAAAAME my Life!
I saw myself as having been crucified with Christ,
dead and buried with Christ, RISEN AND REIGNING WITH
CHRIST JESUS In newness of Life, and seated IN Christ
AT the Father’s right hand, far over and above
EVERYTHING that is named in heaven and on earth, and
GLORIFIED IN HIM – Jesus Christ! This is described
in Eph. 2, and Col. 3,Rom.6,and Rom.8, Eph.3, IICor.3,
Gal. 2, etc., etc. (time out - for a Glory Spell and
a happy dance! Would you like to dance with me?!)
Note: From the Amplified Bible, Eph. 3: 19b - That
you may be filled (through all your being) unto all
the fullness of God - (that is), may have the RICHEST
measure of the Divine Presence, and become a body
WHOLLY filled and flooded with God Himself.”
Peter says, ‘Having become PARTAKERS OF THE
DIVINE NATURE” and Colossians says, “When
CHRIST, Who IS OUR LIFE - - -- and “For in Him
the whole fullness of Deity (the Godhead), continues
to dwell in bodily form - giving complete expression
of the Divine Nature. And you are IN HIM, made FULL,
and have come to fullness of life - in Christ, YOU
TOO are FILLED with the GODHEAD: Father, Son, and
the Holy Spirit, and reach full spiritual stature
-- -!!!“
This is what is known by various terms such as The
Second Blessing’, the “Fullness of the
Spirit’, ‘The Exchanged Life’, ‘The
Transformed Life’, “Walking in the Spirit’,and
“Abiding in Christ”. The question for
all of us, no matter what our theological background
is: Are
you FILLED WITH GOD RIGHT NOW? Jesus said,
“He that believes in Me. out of his innermost
being shall gush forth flooding torrents of Living
Water continuously.” Talkin’ bout you?
Question - Are you full of God and His Holy Spirit
right this moment? Are you up to date with Him and
on excellent terms with Him right now? Do you minister
and share from the overflow, or are you like a “small
handful of water in a big empty barrel.” Pray
with me?…
Dear Father God, thank
You for providing unlimited anointing and every
blessing, and having “given us all things
that pertain to life and godliness.” I
ask You to BEEEE my life, be ALL that You ARE,
in me from now on. I reckon and consider my
old life to be dead. I receive You AS my “Wisdom,
Righteousness, Sanctification, and Redemption”.
BE my Perfection. Love through me, speak Your
Words Through me, Pray through me. Thank You,
Mighty-Right-Now God I believe from now on that
I can do ALL things through Christ my Life,
and that nothing shall be impossible IN YOU.
In Jesus’ Name, Amen |
There is a true story of a little boy who was looking
intently into the baptistry after the baptism service,
when his mother came up and asked him what he was
doing. He said, ‘I’m looking for that
‘old man’ the pastor said we left in the
water!” You see, this is the true meaning of
baptism by immersion - our total identification with
Christ in His crucifixion, death, burial, resurrection,
ascension and glorification.
THE THIRD COMING
OF CHRIST?!?!!.
to
contents
A friend of mine was in a church meeting, when someone
died. There was a nurse present who verified the lack
of respiration and breathing, the bodily functions
ceased, the color of death was present. The people
continued to worship while the ambulance was coming.
About 15 to 20 minutes later, the man opened his eyes
and lived a wonderful life for many more years. His
granddaughter had had a dream just two weeks before
that her grandfather was going to die in church, and
that he would come back to life.
THE THIRD COMING OF CHRIST!
Assume with me for a moment that God wants to return
to the earth in a THIRD Way. He came as a Babe, and
He’s coming in the clouds. But pretend with
me, that between His 1st and 2nd coming, He wants
to come in a 3rd way. Imagine that this time, He wants
to do it like this: Suppose someone is sitting in
church, and has a cardiac attack, and dies, God forbid.
Instead of rushing to give the person ‘artificial
rescuperatlon”, the rest of the people, if they
notice at all, think that that person just fell asleep
for a minute. Suppose that before anyone else knows
of this, Christ comes in to this person, blinks open
his eyes, and starts walking around in his shoes in
disguise, incognito, speaking, talking, loving, LIVING,
His LIFE, --- the very LIFE of Christ Himself!
The Jehovah’s Witnesses believe in the First
and Second coming of Christ, but do not
believe that Jesus, as God, can come and live inside
of us as our Life. Because they
don’t believe In this Third Coming, they are
going to a hell that they also do not believe
in.
Jesus wants to be glorified and magnified now in all
who believe!! Notice this Scripture!
“When He shall come to be glorified IN His saints
and to be admired IN all them that believe, (because
our testimony among you was believed) in that day”
II Thess. 1:10. ‘Christ IN YOU, THE HOPE OF
GLORY!” Colossians 1:28. The LIV calls it ‘the
MYSTERY which hath been hid from ages and from generations,
but NOW is made manifest to HIS saints! To whom God
would make known THE RICHES OF THE GLORY OF THIS MYSTERY
AMONG THE GENTILES,
WHICH IS - - - CHRIST IN ~ THE HOPE OF GLORY!!!”
The Williams translation calls this, God’s Glorious
‘OPEN SECRET = CHRIST IN
YOU!!!” and Beck’s Translation says, THE
GLORY OF THIS HIDDEN TRUTH = CHRIST IN YOU!!!”
I have called this, ‘THE KING’S GREATEST
SECREI”l!!!!!!! This is none other than what
The Creator King of Everything, In the Bible, calls
“THE MYSTERY OF THE GOSPEL OF THE AGES”!!!!
In other words, this is the GREATEST GOOD-NEWS SECRET
OF ALL TIME!!!!!! Please, dear Dear One, please do
NOT let this truth pass you by! Please stay with this
until this ‘Secret Truth” becomes
nitty gritty gut-level REALITY IN YOUR HEART! IN JESUS’
Name, Amen.
So, back to the illustration - Say that Christ came
into your available dead body and BECAAAAAAAAAAAAAME
it’s Life, that is, started living His Glorious
Life THROUGH you, loving THROUGH you, loving, talking,
loving, walking, loving, living, loving, blessing,
loving, healing, loving, BEING ALL THAT HE IS –
IN YOU, - BElNG your Salvatlon, NOT giving you Salvation
as an experience APART from Him, but living it, BE-ing
it, DO-ing it through you!!
I Corinthians 1:30 says that Christ, “IS MADE
unto us Wisdom, and Righteousness, and Sanctification,
and Redemption”. These things: Resurrection,
Salvation, etc., are not a ‘thing”, or
an ‘experience” apart from Him, but are
a PERSON. That Person’s Name is YAHWEH YAHSHUA,
The Mighty Right Now God, The Lord and Saviour Jesus
Christ!!! Even in the Old Testament, please notice
all of the times it refers to Yahweh as BEING our
Sword, our Shield, our Fortress, our Buckler, our
Exceeding Great Reward, our High Tower ‘I will
run into Him and be safe”!!! Not “gives
us a sword” but ‘IS MY SWORD”!!!
Dear Heart, please - can you see the difference???
Some people come staggering into church on Sunday
morning to get their “weakly” (weekly)
injection fix of righteousness to last them barely
till next Sunday, but Jesus wants to BE our Righteousness!!!
BE our LIFE, our Salvation and Protection. Salvation
is not a ‘thing”. Salvation is a Person!
And His Name is Jesus Christ! As I John says, ‘He
that hath the Son hath LIFE and he that hath not the
Son of God hath not life.”
INFERIORITY
COMPLEX
to
contents
They tell about a man who was down at the altar
praying. ‘Lord, show me I’m nothing,
show me I’m nothing.” Then the preacher
came along and said, ‘Take it by faith, brother.”
Story is told of a man used to have a terrible bad
inferiority complex. Then somebody came along and
told him he didn’t have a ‘feriority complex
- he was just PLAIN INFERIOR!!! I used to do things
constantly to ‘compensate” for my deep-seated
feelings of Inadequacy. The ol’ one-room country
school we went to was called ‘Wild Cat School”.
Then we went into town to the citified junior high
school, and, truth to tell, I didn’t rightly
know how to act around all those city-wise kids. So,
to try to do something about my 9th grade inferiority
complex, I thought maybe I could get a book from the
school lie-berry. The first book I got said “Act
natural!” But that didn’t help much, you
see, ‘cause the thing that I ‘naturally”
was, I knew I couldn’t afford to publicly be!”
So, I got another book, - an’ it said, - ‘Be
yourself” But that didn’t help either,
because MY old self definitely WAS inferior! Later
on, my friend, Lee Eliason, told me to ‘be sincere”,
and that helped some, but here, as a senior at Bethel
College, my discovery of this ‘Greatest Secret”
fully met the needs of my life along this line because
Christ BECAME my sufficiency and my adequacy!!!!!!!
This really Really REALLY solved the “complex”
problem!!!
So, you don’t need to die or commit suicide-
because Christ wants to BECOME your LIFE by your acceptance.
Accept what He did when He took NOT ONLY our sins
and sicknesses, so we can be forgiven and healed completely,
but He took our SELVES. (Rom. 6, Col., Eph., etc.)
He put US to death with ALL of our insufficiencies,
inadequacies, inferiorities, inabilities, instabilities,
everything negative, nasty, weak and sinful, and took
us to the Cross, put us to death, buried us and raised
us up in newness of life, a whole, new, beautiful,
glorious, adequate, sufficient, wonderful, able, stable
creation fashioned in His Image, that He wants to
actually BEEEEEEE the Life of!!!!!!
THE ELEPHANT
AND THE FLEA
to
contents
The story is told of an elephant that had a friend
who was a flea that rode around behind his ear. They
used to have lots of happy times together. One day
they crossed a Jungle bridge that shook, and swung
and swayed. After crossing the bridge, the flea whispered
into his friend’s, (the elephant’s) ear.
Said the tiny little flea, “We sure shook that
bridge didn’t we?!!” And at the end of
each of your days, you can whisper into the Ear of
your Heavenly Daddy and Friend, Yahweh, your Creator
King, ‘We sure shook our world today, didn’t
we?” Jesus wants to beeeeeeee your LIFE !!!!!!!!!

A BEE IN YOUR BONNET
to
contents
Did you know that Christ is NOT interested in HELPING
you to be righteous, or wise, or holy, or victorious,
or successful, or strong, or alive, apart or distant
from Himself?? He wants to BEEEEE your Righteousness,BEEE
your Wisdom, BEEEEEE your, Strength, BEEEEEEE your
Life, BEEEEE your Everything. He doesn’t want
to HELPyou say good words, or pray, or be disciplined,
or heal, or bless, or love, as something distinct,
distant, or apart from Himself. He wants to pray His
prayers through you by the Holy Spirit, to say His
words through you, to bless with His blessing through
you, to Heal with His Healing through you, to love
with His love through you. Christ wants to BEEEEEEEEE
all that He is, on location through you!!! Do you
see the difference?
THE GLORY SPELL
to
contents
I was counselling with a 70 year old woman who had
problems. She had a ‘glory spell” when
I told her about ‘The King’s Greatest
Secret”! She said, “I was born again and
baptized in the Holy Spirit when I was 10 years old
and have been walking close to God ever since. But
in all the 60 years I’ve walked with God, I’ve
never once heard these truths, that Christ can actually
BEEEE my LIFE!!” When a person truly comes to
know this wonderful ‘Secret”, then the
transformation in a person’s life should be
just as great as if Christ Himself actually BECAAAAAAAME
that person’s very LIFE!!! Interested?! Interested
in sharing this ‘Secret”? Are you interested
in helping us share with others, this ‘Secret”?!
THE FOUNDATION
STONE!
to
contents
This ‘Secret” is so very very foundational
to virtually every other truth in Scripture. For example,
with regard to prayer, we must believe for Christ
Himself to be on location, praying His prayers through
us, according to the will of the Heavenly Father,
by the power of the Holy Spirit. With regard to miracles
or a ministry, we are to believe that Christ is on
location, ministering and BEING that ministry through
us. We want Jesus to BE the parent through us, BE
the spouse ?!!
We can have an experience GREATER THAN if we had
a heart attack and Jesus Christ came into our newly
dead body and started living in the earth disguised
AS US, because,
better than this CAN BE OURS by accepting that we
were crucified with Christ already on the Cross in
order for Him to LIVE HIS LIFE IN AND THROUGH US!!!
Can you accept the fact that He killed us already
on the Cross in order to do this very thing! Now
He wants to BE all that He is in us, BE our life,
etc. If Jesus IS our righteousness, we’ll be
as righteous as the Father, because Jesus is as righteous
as the Father!!! Remember,
Jesus said in Matthew 5:48 - “BE YE THEREFORE
PERFECT EVEN AS YOUR FATHER IN HEAVEN IS PERFECT.”
That’s how we do it. Simply reckon the old life
to be dead (Rom. 6), and receive Christ, not only
inside to BE your Saviour and Master and total Lord,
but also BEING all that He is, in you, as your Life!!!
Are you ready?!!!!!!
HE wants to walk around in YOUR shoes, wearing YOUR
clothes, speaking HIS words,
praying HIS prayers, thinking HIS thoughts, blessing
HIS people, loving, healing through you. He wants
to BE the Parent of your children, the Spouse of your
mate, the Worker of your job, the Child of your parents,
the Friend of your friends, the Leader In your church,
the Leader in your community, the Changer of your
world, the Establisher of His Kingdom, the Binder
and Looser of situations, the Fulfiller of the Great
Commission and ALL His commandments, IN YOU and THROUGH
YOU!!! (Matt. 28:18- 20, I John 2). ALL THIS CAN BE
YOURS FROM NOW ON as CHRIST IS YOUR LIFE!! (I John
4:17). AMEN!!!!!!
Christ wants there to be NO DIFFERENCE between Who
He is at the right hand of the Father and Who He is
- IN US!!!! Amen!!!
If you have any questions about this, please leave
no stone unturned until you know deeeeeeeeep within
your heart - - - this “Greatest Secret of the
King”, if you can’t get “the Secret”
through reading these words, and carefully praying
your way through the Scriptures listed, then, please
get in touch with us - because this MUST become absolutely
clear to you, absolutely workable! It’s the
Key literally to EVERYTHING you are in God.
THE MIRROR AND THE CROSS
to
contents

Instead of a crucifix, I’ve often thought
of having a cross with nothing on it except a mirror,
as a reminder that you were ‘there and with
Him when they crucified my Lord”! You were there
and In Him when He rose up from the grave!!!
Here it Is then - God’s “Greatest Secret”!!!
Christ living His Glorified Life in you AS your Life!!!
CHRIST LIVING HIS GLORIFIED LIFE IN YOU - IN ME AS
OUR GLORIFIED LIFE!!!
What would happen if Christ came to the earth to
live In disguise In someone before
His coming in the clouds? What if He came to live
His glorified Life In Your town? Your family? Your
church? Your factory? Your marriage? Your shoes? Well,
that’s exactly what Christ wants to happen!!!
Exactly! NO DIFFERENCE.
Will you pray with me now, very sincerely –very
earnestly?
‘Lord God of the impossible, now and forever,
please come and be made all glorious In me and be
marveled at In me. I believe, Lord God, I believe,
for You to live your life-IN ME I ask You, Lord Jesus,
to come Into my heart and Life and BE my Savlour.
I receive You AS my Lord, as the Commander and Boss
of my life. I thank You for taking me with You to
the Cross, to the death. and to the grave. I reckon
my old life to be crucified! dead! and buried! I conslder
my New Life to be risen! Ascended! Seated! Glorified!
and Reigning! In You, and You In me - Right Now! In
THIS world! In My life! As My Life! FROM NOW ON! And
to tellthis Secret” to:
As many as possible!
As quickly as possible!
In as many places as possible!
By as many means as possible!
I thank You for taking me with You when You raised
up from the grave, and when You
ascended up to heaven and sat down at the Heavenly
Father’s Right Hand. I thank You that I am seated
In You, Jesus, right now, here In the Throne Room
of the Father!
From now on, please live Your Life through me. Speak
Your Wards through me. Be all that You are In me,
all the time, now, and forever more. In Jesus’
Name, Amen!

CONCLUSION
What would Jesus do If Christ were my life?
PRETEND WITH ME FORA MOMENT THAT JESUS CHRIST IS YOUR
LIFE!!! What would Jesus do, if He were reigning and
ruling as King, President and Lord upon the throne
of YOUR life?
What if Jesus were living again on the earth - having
come, in that third way - having
come into our hearts to reign as King from the throne
of our heart - not as resident within, but as President
of the world THROUGH us!!!
Lean back in your easy chair, and pretend with me:
Let’s pretend that Jesus returns to earth to
be the King of the earth. The way He decided to do
it this time was, at your invitation, to take over
your body, your tongue, your conscious mind, (although
you
would still be conscious, and still able to kick Christ
out, or to limit His Life in you to
any or every extent, or you could let Him rule to
His heart’s content!!!) What would Jesus do
through you? What would Jesus say through you? How
would Jesus act through
you? How would Jesus think through you? What would
His attitude be in you? How would Jesus through you
treat others?
What if Jesus became the Life of one of the Dear Ones,
and you mistreated that person - IT WOULD BE CREDITED
TO YOUR ACCOUNT AS HAVING BEEN DONE TO CHRIST!!
Let’s let Jesus live His glorified, risen, powerful,
lovely life through us - AS OUR LIFE!!! AMEN!
Have you learned the Secret? Simply reckon or act
as though it’s true, because it is, that
YOU have been crucified, killed, dead, and buried
with Christ. Then, see yourself as having been raised
with Christ Jesus in newness of life - ascended, glorified,
and seated IN Jesus Christ at the Father’s right
hand! From now on, you are to do everything in life
from a Throne Room Mentality”. Psalm 91, Psalm
16, etc., - “I have set the Lord ALWAYS before
me. Because He is at my right hand, I shall not be
moved.” He that dwelleth in the Secret Place
of the Most High, shall abide under the shadow of
the Almighty!” ‘In Thy Presence is fullness
of joy, and at my right hand, there are pleasures
forevermore”!!!
GLORY
Remember when Jesus took the children up in His arms
and blessed them? Ephesians 1 and 2, especially 2:6
tells us where we are: that Father ‘Hath raised
us up together and made us all sit together in heavenly
places IN Jesus Christ.” Baptism by immersion
signifies that WE WENT WITH JESUS in His crucifixion,
death, burial, resurrection, ascension AND GLORIFICATION!!!
Romans 8:30 says that those “whom He Justified,
He also glorified.”! Doesn’t this mean
that we have already been glorified?!
Psalm 91 says “He (or she) that dwelleth in
the Secret Place of the Most High. shall
abiiiide under the Shadow of the Almighty!’
The Bible tells us that we are right NOW SEATED IN
JESUS CHRIST at the Father’s right hand. Here
we are, on the Throne with our Heavenly Father, with
Christ AS our life. God wants us to live here, never
to leave, never to have another mentality or way thinking
than agloriouslyvictorious “Throne- Room Mentality”.
Can you picture yourself going with Jesus to the Cross,
to the grave, to the skies?!! Can
you see yourself crawling up into your Heavenly Daddy’s
lap - ‘Underneath are the Everlasting Arms”,
and putting your ear up against the Father’s
Heart of love, and listening to God’s heart-beat
- His whispers of encouragement?!!! We can look like
He
looks - 2 Car. 3:18! We can walk like He walks - I
John 2:6! We can be as He is – I John 4:17!
You never need to leave your Heavenly Father’s
lap, His Throne-Room, His Presence. From now on, (you
don’t need to wait until you die!) Jesus can
ALWAYS be your Life! You can always be seated on the
Throne, IN Him, at Daddy’s right hand ruling
and reigning with Him - forever and forever! WOW!
What a glorious Secret! Looking like Jesus, talking
like Jesus, being like Jesus - because Jesus has now
become - your Life!!!!!! And we all lived:
HAPPILY EVER AFTER !!!!!!!
May you live happily ever after, with Jesus
Christ AS YOUR LIFE
In Jesus’ Name, AMEN!!!
