THE FLESH HINDERS THE REAL YOU FROM BEEN SEEN

Source 

The flesh has always been a major hindrance to seeing how you really look in spiritual reality, when you become transformed, after fellowshiping in the presence of the Lord. Which is your real reality.

The flesh hinders the disciples too, from seeing the real reality of Christ in Jesus.

Peter and the other disciples, only knew Jesus by what they can see of him physically (I.e. the human-flesh and blood), they never knew, that was not the real reality of Jesus Christ.

Therefore, when Jesus took three of them (Peter, John and James) to the mount of transfiguration for fellowship with His Father. 

Christ desired to have a perfect fellowship with His Father in the Holy of Holies. 

He therefore removed the veil of flesh covering His real and true identity, in the presence of His Father. And His glory started Shining and He started emitting light and the brightness of the light, was so intense that it shown on Elijah and Moses.

Note that; the light did not come from heaven. It came from the Christ inside Jesus. 

Christ, we all know, is the brightness of God's glory.

"Who (Christ) being the brightness of His (Elohim, Father) glory, and the express image of his person..." (Heb 1:3)

Wherever you see God's brightness and beauty of His glorious light shining, that is Christ.

Christ brightness and light was able to shine on Elijah and Moses because, in Him (Christ) was life; and that life is the light of men. John 1:4.

Because He is the light of men, He gave light to Moses and Elijah, so that, they too can join Him in fellowship with His Father.

This was because of what these two personalities represent in His mission of redeeming humanity.

Moses represented the law. He was the law giver and Christ is the fulfillment of the law

Elijah represents the prophet and Christ has come to fulfill all prophesy concerning Him.

And we read in John 1:45

"Philip findeth Nathanael, and saith unto him, We have found him, of whom Moses in the law, and the prophets, did write, Jesus of Nazareth, the son of Joseph."

Matthew 5:17  

"Think not that I am come to destroy the law, or the prophets: I am not come to destroy, but to fulfil."

THE ENCOUNTER OF PETER WITH THE REAL REALITY OF JESUS CHRIST

Peter just encounter and caught a glimpse of the glory of Christ in the Holy of Holies, when Christ took them up to the mount of transfiguration, for fellowshipping with the Father.

And hear what he said;

"It is good for us to be here, and let us make three tabernacles; one for thee, and one for Moses, and one for Elijah..." (Luke 9:33)

So you can see that, the flesh is a major hindrance to the disciples, preventing them, from seeing the reality of how Christ really looks. Which is the real reality.

In the same way, this same flesh, has been a major hindrance to you, also preventing you from seeing the beauty and glory of the kingly royal being that you are. I am talking  the beauty and glory, coming from the Christ, in the inside of you. The flesh veil all that.

That was why Paul in his second epistle to the  corintians said;

" Wherefore henceforth know we no man after the flesh: yea though we have known Christ after the flesh, yet now henceforth know we him no more." (2Cor 5:16)

What Paul was actually saying here was; we have always known and relate with fellow believers and even Christ based on our five senses (the flesh). That is, by what we see physically. 

But now that the light of the gospel of Christ has illuminated our mind and through the illumination, the reality of Christ has been unveiled (revealed). 

We will no longer relate with Christ and fellow believers based on our senses (the flesh) any longer, but we now relate with them, based on revelation of the real reality that was revealed to us.

And each time you fellowship with the father in His presence (the Holy of Holies), you are changed and transformed from one level of glory to another.

So begin to look beyond the veil of flesh and blood that you see, which covers the real you, preventing the real you from been seen. 

And begin to live the reality of your kingly being. As a royal king and priesthood, that you are.

ALL GLORY TO GOD
