We Are Being "Morphed" by Amanda Leonard

Recently I randomly had a vision while I was at work. I saw myself as a huge spirit being and my head was above the clouds and my feet were upon the earth. I was dressed in a white robe. I continued to hear Galatians 4:19 where Paul says, "My little children, for whom I am again in the pains of childbirth until Christ is formed in you."

First, we must awaken to the reality of Christ being IN us, being born again. The next step is for us to realize Christ LIVING IN US (Christ in you the hope of glory) and then Christ BEING FORMED IN US in the fullness. I began to study and meditate on the word Christ being "formed" in you. What does that mean? What was the difference in Christ being formed in us, if He already dwells within us?

Christ being formed in us, is the full maturation of being sons of God. This is Sonship. This is ruling and reigning with Him as priest and kings in His Kingdom. This isn't something that we take possession of by faith but it is what we become as we get closer to the Father. These in whom Christ is being formed, have given every single cell of themselves to Him, for Him to take complete control over. They are not their own. They have died and no longer live except that He lives within them. (Galatians 2:20) These are becoming mature sons!

The word "formed" from Galatians 4:19 in the Strong's, is "morphoo" which means "to form". This word is the derivative of the word "morphe" which means "properly taking on the form that properly embodies a particular inner-essence" (biblehub.com). The word "morphoo" is a verb while "morphe" is a noun. "Morphoo" is an action taking place, and it's by His Spirit as Christ is being formed in us. He is morphing us, by His Spirit within us to reveal in outward appearance, Him that is within us. I believe that's what I was seeing in this vision. I was seeing the outward appearance of what was taking place on the inside, as Christ is being formed within us.

The Holy Spirit showed me that we are "being morphed" into full mature sons.

There were two particular scriptures that had this word "morphe". One was after the resurrection of Jesus. After He had risen, He appeared to Mary Magdalene. She went and told those who had been with Him that He was alive but they didn't believe her.

Mark 16: 12: After that, He appeared in another FORM to two of them as they walked and went into the country. (Emphasis added)

The only other verses that have this same Greek word "morphe" is in Philippians 2:5-8: 5 Let this mind be in you which was also in Christ Jesus, 6 who, being in the form of God, did not consider it robbery to be equal with God, 7 but made Himself of no reputation, taking the form of a bondservant, and coming in the likeness of men. 8 And being found in appearance as a man, He humbled Himself and became obedient to the point of death, even the death of the cross.

I began to think about how Jesus came from Heaven to become flesh, to become a servant. He being fully God, yet fully man, took on the form of a servant and humbled Himself to the point of death. As He is, so are we in the world. Jesus told the disciples when they asked about who was the greatest in the Kingdom of heaven, anyone who wants to be first will be last, and the servant of all. (Mark 9:35) In the Kingdom, all are servants.

I thought about His great love and how on the cross He was beaten to the point of being unrecognizable. The Lord began to show me, when Adam ate from the tree and sin entered into the heart of man, that it "changed his appearance," he morphed from what God intended as his original design. He saw and acknowledged his nakedness and he no longer walked with God, his spirit died that day.

Jesus being unrecognizable on the cross was a picture of us, all the way back to Adam; we had become unrecognizable from the original design that the Father had intended for us from the beginning. Jesus became what we were, He became the sin that we were. He became the shame that came upon man when Adam and Eve ate the tree. He became unrecognizable to redeem us and His resurrection shows us what we were to become through Him. He could see on the cross, us, and what we would look like with Him living inside us. He knew that "our appearance" had changed and by the Spirit, Jesus could see what we should look like. So, He had to be unrecognizable to redeem what man had put upon himself through the ages. His blood has now made a way for us to be "morphed" into the fullness of Christ. His blood is the veil we must enter through and into. Jesus made the way for us by His blood.

"Sons are linked by the blood. That which was lost would be restored by Me, and man would have access to higher regions than the Garden. Man would carry a greater Glory than Adam because everything in him would be brought into this Kingdom of Light by My blood." (Excerpt from "The Blood: Entrance Into the Supernatural" by Rona Spiropoulos)

Colossians 1:19-20: For God in all his fullness was pleased to live in Christ 20 and through him God reconciled everything to himself. He made peace with everything in heaven and on earth by means of Christ’s blood on the cross.

Revelation 12:11: "And they overcame him by the blood of the Lamb, and by the word of their testimony; and they loved not their lives unto the death."

The vision I had from the Lord, I believe is a picture of those who have went through the veil of His blood to mature in their true identity as sons. His blood has washed them white as snow, His blood has made them holy as He is holy. His blood has redeemed the world and created an even greater glory than that that Adam walked in. The second Adam, Christ Jesus, has come and made the way through His blood to show us the place that we were created to walk in. He is teaching many to press through to this new realm of living in the Kingdom where you rule and reign with Christ even as your feet are planted upon the earth. Through worship and humbling ourselves, giving every single part of ourselves to Him, being completely saturated in Him, Christ is being formed within us. We are as He is in the world, He was a Son; He was also a servant.

I believe the Lord is showing me the importance of serving and placing others before ourselves. "Blessed are the meek, for they shall inherit the earth" (Matthew 5). This is the way of the Kingdom, this is the way of Jesus. As we die to our old self life, His resurrection life is formed in us. As Jesus was transformed (morphed) from one form to the other, so we will be as His resurrection life comes through His blood. When Christ is formed within us, we shall then inherit the earth and redeem what Adam was created to do, which was to subdue the earth and walk with God with no separation.

I believe the body of Christ as a whole has missed this truth, many have stopped at Christ being IN them in their born again experience and never get to the place of Christ being formed in them. Many have accepted Jesus as Saviour and are waiting to get to heaven one day. Yet, the Father is waiting for sons to take their rightful place, the place that Jesus paid for on the cross through His blood but hasn't been fully appropriated. Although many will stay in this place, many are also awakening to the realization of the more that is available to them as sons and daughters of God.

The wife of the Lamb is making herself ready.

Revelation 19:7-8 "7 Let us be glad and rejoice, and give honor to him: for the marriage of the Lamb is come, and his wife hath made herself ready.8 And to her was granted that she should be arrayed in fine linen, clean and white: for the fine linen is the righteousness of saints."

“Take your position in the heavenlies where you are seated with Me,” says the Lord. “Your feet will be upon the earth but your head will be in the clouds, you will see and learn the ways of heaven to bring it down upon the earth. It will be on earth as it is in heaven, My Kingdom has come and is within you, the fullness of Christ is being formed in you. Now you know, that nothing is impossible for you, now walk in that truth. Shine as beacons of light into the earth. My blood is light and you have My blood within you, so Shine, Shine, Shine! For My glory has risen upon you and the earth will come to My light within you. As you humble yourself before Me, I will take you higher, I will show you things that your mind will not grasp. Trust Me,” says the Lord. “You won't have a grid for the things that I am about to reveal, I am going to take you higher and higher still. You have stepped through the veil of My blood, you have determined that My blood is enough. I have stood at the door and knocked and you have let Me in, you have been invited to an intimate celebration. Come and let Me take you higher. You will live in two realms at once, some will believe it can't be done. Don't listen to the scoffers, the Pharisaical types, religion has brought death, but I have brought you life!!! I Am being formed in you, a morphing has begun, through this process I making you My mature sons!”

Love and blessings,

  1. This is amazing Truth being released in this hour. My spirit cried out in tears and rejoicing as I read every word.
    His blood IS enough! Two years ago I received a brief glimpse of the higher realm mentioned. It was above the
    Earth, but it was also connected to our realm on Earth. God was flowing through the Bride from one realm to the other,
    and awesome supernatural wonders were covering all the Earth and all peoples everywhere! This is the time He has been
    preparing the remnant for.....and it is the glory of God shed all over the world as never seen or imagined! It is glorious! Get ready!!!
    And God bless you Amanda for sharing this wondrous word....keep your head in the clouds... and you will see and hear great wonders of things to come!
