PREFACE
The ideas in this book are presented as foundational truths for what we believe is the current move of God. For believers whose interest is going on to the fullness of Christ, it is very likely the final move of God. History records that God is always moving His Church toward a fuller revelation of His ultimate intention. I believe that intention is that every born-again believer will come to the knowledge that the way God intended for human beings to live on this earth is by another Person, Christ, in them. The message in this book is straightforward and will bring a clearer understanding to the deeper things of God. I admit that there is much I do not know about the Christ-life, but for many years I have waited before the Father, listening to the Holy Spirit’s teaching of Christ, that I might learn. Because Christ is literally becoming totally everything to the hungry and ongoing believer, this message of the Christ-life is filling all the vacant places in Christian living which have developed over the years.
It is my prayer that as you read and study this book, you will be convinced that there is no other place for you to look for spiritual fulfillment outside of Christ as your life. Since it is plainly stated in Colossians 1:16-17 that all things have to do with Christ, fixing that in your mind will put you in a position to allow the Holy Spirit to teach you Christ.
I sincerely urge every person to carefully search out the Scriptures and the messages which are given, for by so doing you will come to know Him better as your own life, and in turn will be able to lift Him up to others. The purpose of this book is not to impress scholars but to feed and awaken the children of God. I am aware that this work, as are all human productions, is subject to endless improvement. It is my heart’s desire and my prayer to God that the reader will come to see Christ as his only life and will thus enter into the ultimate intention of the Father.
I affectionately dedicate this book to Robbie, my wife, with whom I have labored for many years. Her faithful support has enabled me to give myself wholly to the Christ-life.
