Living Finished

By Sherrell Y. Carr

"A tremendous price was paid for us to live on the other side of the veil. Our formed life is the veil of our flesh. Jesus rent that veil in two through his own flesh, to allow us to step across and live a life that is already FINISHED in creation... where it all began."

Foreword

Uncovering life’s secrets and mysteries is a way that God allows men to participate with Him in creation and to gain a fuller and more accurate picture of the plans and purposes that were hidden in Christ from the beginning. These mysteries and secrets can only be accurately understood by the created man, and not the formed man. The formed man can only learn to receive a form, or a shadow, of understanding of these mysteries, but not the truth of them. (1 Corinthians 2:14, KJV)

Everyone who accepts Jesus Christ as Savior and Lord enters creation and has been given the power to be a partaker and participant of these mysteries and is entitled to the blessings contained in them. They are the gifts that are bestowed upon kings and priests.

As these mysteries and secrets unfold, we get to practice their use on the earth in order to grow in our capacity to rule and govern over things on the earth… beginning with ourselves. Viewing our lives from this perspective allows us to intentionally walk in Christ by Living Finished.

Acknowledgements

I received the privilege of being used to write this book and then to acknowledge it back to God the Father, Our Lord Jesus Christ, and the precious Holy Spirit. God aligned the vision of writing this book with time and a journey that took twenty years or more, and then another year to write. The length of time it took for the vision to manifest allows me to testify to you that though [the vision] tarry, wait for it (Habakkuk 2:3 KJV). This book reveals the mysteries that God shared with me to bless, to help perfect, and to strengthen the Body of Christ.

Many have poured into my life over these years, and I’d like to acknowledge three very devout men of God who have strengthened my walk of faith as a believer in Christ. Pastor James Watson, founder and pastor of The Abundant Life Teaching Center Church, Harvey, Illinois (now at home with the Lord); he was a strong man of faith whose favorite remarks to his congregation were, People, please learn how things work! Whenever he was given a new revelation from God the Holy Ghost, he would say with a smile and an enthusiastic voice, What kind of God is this? I’ve got to know Him! He was one of the most eloquent communicators I have ever known, with an incredible mechanical mind for looking into things to understand how they worked—and he was never an engineer. He was also the general contractor for one of the most beautifully designed church edifices of its size that I have ever seen… and he never even finished high school, yet he was as polished and articulate as any doctoral college graduate. He attributed it to the Holy Spirit, our Teacher. His focus was God and nature, and he used to say that one day, he was going to write a book and travel all over the world to share what God had taught him. One day, he became ill. He continued to stand in faith until the day he received a revelation by the sovereignty of God that he was going to be a seed that needed to fall into the ground and die, in order to bear much fruit.

He told his wife, and she told the ministers that God had shown him what would happen if he left, and what would happen if he stayed. He chose to leave. I was one of the ministers in the ministry at that time, and in his final days before his passing he wanted to extend one last goodbye—many were unaware of what he was doing at the time. I shook his hand one last time, feeling like it may have been the last, and said, Pastor Watson, I cannot wait to hear God and Nature Part II. He looked at me with a strong and intent gaze, as if to tell me that he was passing the mantle on to me to continue this teaching. It seemed like I heard and felt those words coming through his gaze. What you hear me say in this book has been greatly influenced by the teaching I received from this man of God.

Another man who has influenced my faith has been Pastor Walter L.
