We only experience moments of that (actual) perfection during fleeting seconds of prayer
when we are connected to the Holy Spirit. The rest we are forgiven for.
Jesus was not sentenced to death for the crime of perfection, but for submitting to the Father completely.
OK now we're onto something here. That is true...that until
we enter into Him fully...we will experience these flashes of light...these eternal moments. The same goes for the moment we are born of the Spirit. For some it is but a moment of perfection. But for others longer.
For me it was days of walking in the light so that I grew panicky that I would never walk as an ordinary man again...I wanted out.
There is an abiding IN that experience of God. John calls it being in the light as He is in the light. Paul calls it putting on the armour of light and walking in the Spirit.
And this secret...this mystery is hidden from basically the whole modern church. But this is the grace of God...the kingdom walk. It is the purpose of Jesus coming to earth. That we might be reconnected in that fellowship...eternally....starting now.
So there is a keeping power of God. if I testified that I walked in that intimacy for a few years...I don't expect anyone to believe me.
That's the extent of my walk in His perfection...3 days at first and then 20 years later ...a few years. That's it. Out of 40 years as a disciple. I don't see my faith walk as that impressive really.
