This is Part Three of Three

“In the Now with Jim Swilley” is a YouTube channel show recorded live at Metron. In this three part series Jon Scott joins Jim Swilley to discuss “Unto Us” and everything that means to us in the now!

“For unto us… not unto me… not unto you… but unto us, the collective, corporate community of mankind…the household of humanity…unto all of us, a child is born; unto us, the global family, a Son is given, and the responsibility of the government will rest on His broad shoulders. In fact, all the governments of all the peoples of the world will ultimately recognize Him as their one true foundation, for the earth is His, and He belongs to all of us . He will be the physical embodiment of the “I Am,” the God who defies description; and, in an attempt to define the indefinable, He will be called Wonderful Counselor, Mighty God, Everlasting Father, Prince of Peace. Of the increase and expansion of His kingdom and government and peace there will be no end. He will reign initially from David’s throne and over His kingdom, establishing it and upholding it with justice and righteousness from that time, on into the eternal now. The passionate zeal of the Lord Almighty will accomplish this.” (Isaiah 9:6,7 – The Bible In The Now)

I – ” Do not be conformed to this world (this age), [fashioned after and adapted to its external, superficial customs], but be transformed (changed) by the [entire] renewal of your mind [by its new ideals and its new attitude], so that you may prove [for yourselves] what is the good and acceptable and perfect will of God, even the thing which is good and acceptable and perfect [in His sight for you].” (Romans 12:2 – AMP)

II – “…and not to be configured to this eon, but to be transformed by the renewing of your mind, for you to be testing what is the will of God, good and well pleasing and perfect.”
(Romans 12:2 – CLV)

III – “And stop constantly conforming yourselves to (or…So then, quit being repeatedly molded by, fashioned for or patterned together with this age…or not to constantly remodel yourself for this age], but on the contrary, be progressively transformed (transfigured; changed in form and semblance) by the renewing (or: in the renewal; for the making-back-up-new again) of your mind [The Mind; of the intellect; pertaining to the faculties of perceiving and understanding; of the mindset, disposition, inner orientation and world view] into the [situation and condition for] you…to be habitually examining in order to be testing and, after scrutiny, distinguishing and approving what [is] God’s will (design; purpose; resolve; intent): the good and well-pleasing, even perfect (finished, complete and destined)! (or…[that is] virtuous, satisfying and able to succeed in its purpose.)” (Romans 12:2 – JMNT)

(Romans 12:2 – Phillips)

― Lisa Goldenberg

VII – “In the spiritual life every person is his or her own discoverer, and you need not grieve if your discoveries are not believed in by others. It is your business to push on find more and increase individual happiness” ― Prentice Mulford
