In Search of Overcomers: His Bride
God still desires that perfect oneness with man, as a husband with his bride. But the Bride must be pure and spotless; without sin. All who desire this fellowship with God must follow the example of Jesus, who had no will of his own, but was completely obedient to the will of the Father. He overcame all sin and became perfect. If we are willing to take our flesh and let the Holy Ghost purge it, clean it, wash it and fortify it, then the Father can take his abode in that clean and pure vessel.
Those who are led by the Spirit of God are Sons, like Jesus, and are joint heirs with him. God is going to fill the earth with righteousness, as it was meant to be in the beginning. The Sons are going to rule and reign on this earth as Kings and Priests, in perfect fellowship with God.
JESUS and Sons Equal
We are heirs and joint heirs with Jesus Christ. We are sons as much as Jesus was his son.
Romans 8:15-17 – For ye have not received the spirit of bondage again to fear; but ye have received the Spirit of adoption, whereby we cry, Abba, Father. The Spirit itself beareth witness with our spirit, that we are the children of God. And if children, then heirs; heirs of God, and joint-heirs with Christ; if so be that we suffer with him, that we may be also glorified together.
Galatians 4:4-7 – But when the fulness of the time was come, God sent forth his Son, made of a woman, made under the law, To redeem them that were under the law, that we might receive the adoption of sons. And because ye are sons, God hath sent forth the Spirit of his Son into your hearts, crying, Abba, Father. Wherefore thou art no more a servant, but a son; and if a son, then an heir of God through Christ.
JESUS Reigning Through Sons
Jesus will be manifested through God’s sons.
That Spirit of God is going to rule and reign on this earth.

Revelation 2:26-27 – And he that overcometh, and keepeth my works unto the end, to him will I give power over the nations: And he shall rule them with a rod of iron; as the vessels of a potter shall they be broken to shivers: even as I received of my Father.
John 1:12 – But as many as received him, to them gave he power to become the sons of God, even to them that believe on his name:
Complete Authority Through JESUS

by the Spirit, through Christ.
Matthew 16:17-19 – And Jesus answered and said unto him, Blessed art thou, Simon Barjona: for flesh and blood hath not revealed it unto thee, but my Father which is in heaven.

And I will give unto thee the keys of the kingdom of heaven: and whatsoever thou shalt bind on earth shall be bound in heaven: and whatsoever thou shalt loose on earth shall be loosed in heaven.
Matthew 10:1 – And when he had called unto him his twelve disciples, he gave them power against unclean spirits, to cast them out, and to heal all manner of sickness and all manner of disease.
Ephesians 3:16-21 – That he would grant you, according to the riches of his glory, to be strengthened with might by his Spirit in the inner man; That Christ may dwell in your hearts by faith; that ye, being rooted and grounded in love, May be able to comprehend with all saints what is the breadth, and length, and depth, and height; And to know the love of Christ, which passeth knowledge, that ye might be filled with all the fulness of God. Now unto him that is able to do exceeding abundantly above all that we ask or think, according to the power that worketh in us, Unto him be glory in the church by Christ Jesus throughout all ages, world without end. Amen.

Then shall the King say unto them on his right hand, Come, ye blessed of my Father, inherit the kingdom prepared for you from the foundation of the world:
