The Invisible Image (Session 8) | Emerson Ferrell | Series: Messages After the Grave

Hello, my beloved friends. This is another exciting adventure into our experiences with Christ, the resurrected one. The messages after the grave are presented to you in a way that you can study them, in a way that you can find the ingredients inside of you to expound and expand on the words of Christ. Because everything he says is eternal. Every word he spoke is resonating throughout the universe in both the visible and the invisible. And this is the purpose of the messages that we bring to you. And I'm hoping and I'm believing that they start to resonate inside each of you. And you really start to understand that you already know what you need to do. You've already been in the place of making the decision to hear the voice of Christ when you were in him before the foundation of the world. But the more you pay attention to what's inside of you, and the less you pay attention to what's outside of you, the greater revelation that will become in you.

Now let's look at a verse in Acts chapter 1

Because this is where I've discovered the title for these messages, After the Grave. Beginning in verse 2, Until the day in which he was taken up, after through the Holy Spirit had given commandments to the Apostles whom he had chosen, to whom he also presented himself alive after his sufferings by many infallible proofs, being seen by them during forty days and speaking of things pertaining to the kingdom of God.

Now, this was after the Resurrection, when Jesus presented himself to not only the Apostles, but it says 500 in Watchtome disappear into the clouds.

But these messages that he spoke to the Apostles and those that were around him were things pertaining to the kingdom of God.

What messages pertain to the kingdom of God?

They have to be the messages of resurrection. They have to be the messages of what you knew before you became flesh.

Those are the words that Jesus spoke to his disciples and those that were following him. He reminded them of their commitment, of their promise to the Father before they became flesh and came into this dimension. You see, as a spirit, you are limitless. You're not confined to the laws that pertain to this dimension. But we are hypnotized to believe that. From the day we're born, we start evaluating the circumstances and the situations and the family we're in, the verbal communications that go on between parents and siblings, the culture that we grow up in. We're in a hypnotic state during that time. Because our brainwaves are slow and our attention is specific. I mean, it is laser sharp. That's why Jesus said, You must be a child to enter the kingdom of God. It requires a specific attention to the reality that's inside you. And that's what babies are born with. They understand who they are. They are alive inside their spirit.

So, that hypnotic trance that we all undergo as children, as babies, makes us believe that we live in a linear state and that we are confined as a physical being that depend on our senses for reality. So, when Jesus is speaking to his disciples about the things pertaining to the kingdom, he's reminding them of their spirit. He's reminding them that what he overcame in hell, over death, released them from that hypnotic trance and changed their confinement to this dimension. Broke the spell, so to speak. And from that point on, the disciples were just free. They went and felt free to do whatever they needed to do by the power of the Holy Spirit.

So now I wanna show you some of the similarities and the way that the Resurrection severed our connection with this dimension. Look at Genesis 7, and let's look at verse 17

Now the flood was on the earth 40 days. The waters increased and lifted up the ark, and it rose high above the earth. Now, think of this.

Jesus spent 40 days on the earth after He overcame death. That this earth, the second earth after Noah, that produced this generations and generations and generations, were confined by the death that God used to destroy the flesh. He destroyed all flesh. He destroyed everything but the fish in that flood. Birds, cattle, all the creeping animals on the earth, man, all flesh were destroyed in that flood. And it was 40 days that that death covered this planet. So Jesus comes up out of the grave, resurrected, overcomes the death that had been the place of this earth. This earth was the soil of death. It was the place of death. It was a great big tomb.
