Peter Roselle: Our Fading Body… Conformed to His Glorious Body (Philippians 3:21)
This clip was taken from the full message shared at King of Kings on 4/18/2021. Philippians 3:21 says, “Christ will transform our lowly body, that it may be conformed to his glorious body.” Jesus had a transformed body that we see after His resurrection. My current earthly body will be transformed into a glorious body like the resurrected Jesus. Jesus said to Thomas, “Behold my hands and feet that it is I myself. Handle me and see me, for a spirit does not have flesh and bones, that you see that I have.”

Be blessed.
Remember: you have been “blessed to be a blessing.” (Genesis 12:2)
Pay it forward!

Philippians 3:21
“Christ will transform our lowly body, that it may be conformed to his glorious body.” 
Jesus had that transformed body that we saw after the resurrection. He's walking on the road to Emmaus, talking to the two disciples and they don't know it's him, but what does he do? 

Jesus takes starts to have communion with the two disciples he met on the road to Emmaus. Suddenly their eyes were opened, because the Spirit filled the room. Compare this scene to Genesis – sin entered the garden when Adam and Eve ate the forbidden fruit. Genesis 3:7 says, “their eyes were opened, and they knew that they were naked.” In Luke 24, Jesus comes and reverses the curse by taking bread, breaking it and blessing it. Luke 24:31 says, “And their eyes were opened, and they recognized him. And he vanished from their sight.”

And then in John 20, it says, Jesus said to Thomas and I know a lot of you remember this one. Reach your finger in here and look at my hands, reach your hands in here, put it into my side. Don't be unbelieving Thomas, but be believing and similarly behold my hands and feet that it's I myself. Handle me and see me, for a spirit does not have flesh and bones, that you see that I have.” 

How did he walk into the room, if he was a physical body? The apostles were hiding and he didn't come in through the door. So there were some new dimension that we're all going to have when we're resurrected. That gives me a lot of hope. I'm going to try to keep myself in shape right now because I know in the natural, your body's going to start to deteriorate. Anybody else noticed it's a lot harder to lose weight when you get older? That's the devil man. I remember eating a whole pizza, when I was in college - in one sitting!

We're going to be active members of the army of Christ. We're going to be ruling and reigning with Christ in these new bodies, not some Easter bunny, Casper the friendly ghost, playing some harp out of cloud… That is not what the Bible says. It does talk about spirit, I understand that, but Jesus said, look at me, a spirit doesn't have a body. 

This is the chapter where Paul wrote, “we walk by faith not by sight,” in 2 Corinthians 5. I'm using The Voice version, which I find is a very kingdom-minded translation. It's not so much that fractional little pieces, they have a good understanding, of the kingdom mindset, that many of us were not taught. 

2 Corinthians 5 (Voice)
1 We know that if our “earthly house”—a mere tent  that can easily be taken down—is destroyed…
If you just read that on its own, you might think it’s connected to Jesus saying he was going to prepare a place for us… “in my Father’s house there are many mansions.” You might think Paul is referring to a house. 

Actually, Paul is referring to our body as a tent (temporary structure). 

2 Corinthians 5 (Voice)
1 We know that if our “earthly house”—a mere tent that can easily be taken down—is destroyed, 
we will then live in an “eternal home” in the heavens, a “building” crafted by divine—not human—hands.

“In the heavens” refers to God's kingdom realm, which is a very present help, available and accessible to you right now. It's not billions of miles away. You can tap into the kingdom right here, it is in our midst. You have to step into it. 

John 3:5
3 “Truly, truly, I tell you, no one can see the kingdom of God unless he is born again.”
5 “No one can enter the kingdom of God unless he is born of water and the Spirit.”

Until the Lord opens your eyes, you don't see the availability of God’s kingdom in the earth. But then in order to step into it, you've got to make some tough decisions to walk away from the world and to operate under God's authority, living by God’s kingdom rules. 

2 Corinthians 5 (Voice)
2-3 Currently, in this “tent of a house,” we continue to groan and ache with a deep desire to be sheltered in our “permanent home…” because then we will be truly clothed & comfortable,  protected by a covering for our current nakedness.
