My Testimony "the testimonies of The Lord are sure, making wise the simple." Psalm 19



Bethel Assembly Of God Church

Thanks Lord for being there for me! How can I say thanks Lord God for the good things? Look what You have done for me!! Look, it's the Finished Work of Jesus!! I will take the cup of salvation and call upon the Name of God. Christ is the Name above all Names, Beautiful Savior, Glorious Lord, Immanuel, God with us. I will become Who You say I can become and already Are through my confession of faith in Your Person and Work Lord Jesus! When I gave my heart to Jesus Christ in 1961 at age four I knew I'd be accused of being a "being good" "being good" "goody-two-shoes" but I determined I'd belong to God and take in His Counsel and His Kingdom I'd seek along with His Presence glorify God as well even as a lad in Grade School with all my heart I sought this. God says I'm salt and light to my generation and I want to become more this witness together greater!

I'd try to not let my left hand know what my right hand is doing as Christ said about giving but live within the confines of my conscience God gave me in giving and sacrificing my life for His service. A Bondslave of Jesus Christ and Others and knowing God at an early age, I tried to tell others about finding Christ inside fully and what that means to our life now as the Apostles were told by God to explain as in Acts 5:20. I heard about abuse from Jews and Catholics but I stayed the course and remembered to talk to God about everybody before I talked to anybody about God. I wanted to be a disciple of Jesus' in spirit and truth not just an outward Christian. My Pastor and parents said and I knew that if I learned the Bible well and was continually taught all about the characters in it and the story of Redemption in God's grace thereof, hiding God's Word inside me, then I'd be building on a good foundation on Christ against the storms of life to come. And it has been so.

Righteousness by faith is what I long for. God's Righteousness is what I need (God's.) Stuff can take a back seat. Things and possessions can just get in the way. They go, yes mostly go. But even as a child I wanted to tell others what I found in knowing God and it wasn't always easy. My godly parents took me to Church every Sunday and Wednesday. Twice on Sunday. And I went forward often to the altar to pray. I needed God and I was not a good sinner. I wanted to live for Christ and be determined to be weak in my own weakness that Christ only may be strong in me. It was my intention to have God change my life to please Him. The fulcrum of my life was His. My sins, failures, and faults were substituted in Him. By faith in Him I lived this. * He's lived in me to substitute and replace my life for His.

By grace I've been saved, and the transaction's done. I've already won. I have a certain salvation. I have faith in Him and in His Name and my anchor holds within the veil, and grips the Solid Rock; This Rock IS Jesus! My motive is to live by faith in God, His grace and not in myself without Christ nor trust in my good works, lest any boast. And He grips me back. He does so with LOVE so BOLD, I need a REVOLUTION... It's not about me but what Christ has done FOR me and you in His Finished Work because of what He's Finished or accomplished on the Cross for me and Who He is, His Nature and Character and Attributes and Names which give us His Provision.

Almighty God Most Holy Lord, glorious Almighty God is He! We love, adore, affectionately worship You Abba with all our heart, soul, mind, and strength. Whatever my hands find to do I do with all my might. Let my life-song sing to You and be proof of Your love! I read and reRead my Bible and then read tracts or little Gospels Booklets or Gospels as I began to call them, being young and I began to see the plan of God in blueprints in His Words, of God's Perfect Plans or Will better as a child. Seems like we won't soon forget that overdraft of His checks we write against His Finished Work forgetting nonetheless or His Backdraft of Fire of Who He is (the Cross and what it stands for,) if we do that innocently as a child of God a New Creation forgiving! We need to keep in our minds eye the Price Paid for which we were bought and paid a Ransom for and emotions will follow even mood being set and signalled: re: our love for God fervent & foremost white hot for Him because this world would try to take that away. This world has an enemy, the devil and, satan is his other name. No elder brother is the devil, oh please (says some Mormon.) Christ loves us first and it's all about His love for us and our "being the disciple whom The Lord loved."

Ephesians says, "Be filled in and with the Spirit." and "Be strong in the Lord and in the power of His might." "Put on the whole armor of God that you may be able to stand against the wiles of the devil and to stand in the evil day, and having done all, to stand." Put on Helmet, Sword, Shield, Belt, Shoes, Breastplate, and Pray always with all prayer and supplication on all occasions for all the saints as that suit of armor. May you see the Savior' Blood applied to your life and find your happiness and joy in belonging to Him if you haven't believed on Jesus' Name already! The promises of God is as bright as our shades, our sunglasses for we know the sun of righteousness and He comes with healing in His Wings!

It says in Hebrews, "without the shedding of blood there is no forgiveness of sins." All it takes is prayer to God and commitment to Christ to admit that you're a sinner, a falling short (of God's glory, person) wretched sinner, guilty as charged, and worthy of hellfire for eternity but then on the fly knowing that you're confessing God's love, forgiven, as one who accepts Jesus Christ as your individual Savior and Lord from sin. No condemnation now I dread then but justification from Him is what God wants. You then follow Him (Christ) dug in, abiding in Him accordingly bearing fruit, then being a witness for Him knowing you're a fruitful Christian from His doing and now you are of course Born of God.

Love God with your whole heart and soul mind and spirit and let Him know that you love Him continually and tell everyone, proclaiming Eungelion, the Gospel, "release," "you're free! of this world: the lust if the eyes, the pride of life." "Your chains are gone." ("You're in amazing grace.") You're in it to win it; not in it for a problem-free life but a hallowed consecration of whatever it takes to follow and belong to Jesus with savor. Have that encounter with Him in God's sight. Ask God for a right stand.

Jesus is that Davidic Covenant Keeper, Messiah. He fulfilled the Law perfect actually keeping it thoroughly by love and obedience. He went beyond obeying to be pleasing approvingly also by the Father God. He loved God and His fellow perfectly. He is therefore able to save to the uttermost all we (servants) that come unto God by Him seeing He ever lives to make intercession for us. He lives by the power of an indestructible life after His Resurrection. We are priests now after the order of Melchizadek as He is! Sin's wage is death but death could not hold Him! He rose! We sit with Him, victors, HuperNikao overwhelming victors, not victims, overcomers in Him in the Heavenlies at the Ark at the Throne.

As THE perfect the Lamb of God who was sacrificed then, Jesus' Blood was (shed) so we could be free. Now I'm forgiven. Jesus keeps giving and giving. Love is not love until it goes through a test & until it is of faith pure like pure gold and dross is removed and gold poured out given. We give. We come to our senses to faithful give our lives away. God wants us to choose Him by faith and use our will and passions to know I or us belong re: His Possession and enforce Lordship on us as I or we voluntarily co-labor on that. I or us behave naturally but it's the Holy Spirit supernaturally.

It's a Gift, Eternal Life, and we must accept it, mission in hand. Make that the prayer to know God and obey the Son. Justification happens. Sanctification. You become salt of your earth and light to shine in this dark world with the Light of the world Jesus indwelling. You're lighter than a feather in feeling forgiven. You begin to really live like you're alive from the dead and everlasting in trait. Grace becomes God's riches at Christ's expense! God's love becomes so real! The Holy Spirit is your gift when you believe the Finished Work and apply it to you, not these happenstance things nor gaft in your world of coincidences. In your world God's love and grace reality means more now. In God's déjà vu timing all good things become beautiful. God is good. "Occupy until I come," Jesus said, on the offensive winnning battles on your knees. Jesus won the war and we lead triumph to parade victory in Jesus' Name. Snatch them from the flame calling God Holy! And when you do, make disciples! Remember you're seeking and finding a personal relationship to God that makes you born again, not a fake religiousness in fake religion. Jesus coming in will make changes. Welcome Him. Released from dead works to serve the Living God it's all of Grace as well as Jesus really does surgery on us. I see visions of what God through Christ by the Holy Spirit can do in us His Church as we all do our functions in the Body of our Lord! Let this be a functioning Believer's Group Abba Father Getting Together in Jesus' Name doing the work of Jesus in the power of Jesus through His Name by grace. Amen.

"Religion will always try to sell you the lie that God wants to relate to you based on your 'works', but the Gospel proclaims the truth that God actually desires to relate with you based on the finished work of his Son." - Mick Mooney


"Trust him. And when you have done that, you are living the life of grace. No matter what happens to you in the course of that trusting — no matter how many waverings you may have, no matter how many suspicions that you have bought a poke with no pig in it, no matter how much heaviness and sadness your lapses, vices, indispositions, and bratty whining may cause you — you simply believe that Somebody Else,by his death and resurrection, has made it all right, and you just say thank you and shut up." - Rob Capon

Praise God IT'S JUST LIKE JESUS TO KEEP ME DAY BY DAY! It's just like Jesus to love me day by day!! IT'S JUST LIKE HIS GREAT LOVE! WISDOM ESSENTIALS!!

WE NEED FAITH IN GOD FOR ITS THROUGH FAITH WITH GOD'S SON INSIDE WE OBTAIN SALVATION AND HAVE PERSONAL RELATIONSHIP WITH GOD THROUGH JESUS CHRIST!! Regeneration,Justification,Sanctification! 

 

8313 update of a recent post 



God loves you! Do you hear God loves you! What's that got to do with you?  Alright. Did you create Orion? Or Pleiades? Did you wake today? Did you make one hair white or black? If you couldn't do that which is least what could you do to make it right re: add one hour to your life or make God love you? The answer is nothing. It's because God created you and chooses to love you not passively but very actively to love you with infinite beauty of perfection and wholeness of body, soul, and spirit have us deeply dimensionally in His love. He's doctoring of you in His love until you see He's not disappointed in you but is pleased in the Substitution of His Son and until you see this. He loves you and loved you before the foundation of the world when abject sinners in our sinning like us but sin-ners nonetheless we are were foreigners to Himself and aliens to His Body of Christ, and a mere wisp of Adoption theology ideas in His mind. He loved you while we were His enemies in other words consenting to His Son's Death on a Cross. Believe you we're there but God meant it for good! Isaiah 53 says, "for we were like sheep going astray." Romans says, "For a good man someone might or might and in fact then would dare to die." But Christ created us rejoicing when we hear it joyful sound ready for He loved us while we were still sinners. God even spoke forgiveness, "Father forgive them, for they know not what they do," and He did say this through Christ literally. Christ willingly obedient surrenders to the Father's plans and so to their hands (we) and went to Die on Calvary's Cross. "He was delivered up," it says of God in Acts 2 and in Romans 4:25, He was delivered up for our offenses and was Raised for our justification. That delivering up and Raising was God's part. He Died an Unjust Cruel Death and was Buried Substituted in our place that we might be saved or rescued but our sins killed Him. This fact made me weep as a child. When I went to church I only saw it clearer. This our part was heinous as we played a hand (of cards,) in killing Him. If we were there we would of done the same the Bible declares being from Adam as the crowd that yelled, saying, "Crucify!" When they yelled "crucify," a second time I believe we were consenting by that time. We have an exchange to make and pair up with conceiving in God's Finished Act at Calvary calling it a wondrous thing as His Body gathered together in His Name! Stop, kick yourself, and think about unity this way. A delayed response is usually a good one. Why did Jesus rescue us? In one sense only He can tell us or I that answer when we see Him! His love is like a gentle flowing river, gentle, ever sweet, the Gaithers sang. To respond with, "thank you," is all we can do then act accordingly to the Gospel. It's called mental assent with the facts of salvation, commitment to God, and follow through, or continuation of belief. And Jesus in fact rose the third day! He's Alive! In this the affront of the Gospel is not taken away. You see up close the love of God offends you and me for it is like a cool breeze or a warm coat on a colder day. We feel spoiled or taking for granted but it really God through Christ that all things even consist. God offers everyone of us a living personal on fire relationship with Himself and that is a first a rescue from sin. We are not trophies of His for show, not man or woman of mankind such as you or I to be moved of knowing Him theoretically, but to acknowledge, talk, and conversate up with Him like a stimulating talk over a fish fry, acknowledging Him more in God's greater reality of Character and His Nature more and more personally to get to know Him throughout life but just not be wearers of a mask before Himself. I say let me at it and run from my seat jetting to be born again, saved, God's friend for in saved living IN HIM and renouncing pride in my own works which are as filthy rags I bow a sinful soul like myself before Him, a Holy Righteous Being. How do I pray Lord God? I want that Heaven Jesus spoke of. Teach me please God how to pray as I want to ask of You how to pray and to You! Boy I pray I receive You in receptivity! And thank God He tore the veil in the Temple so access to Himself is free and liberally offered. But it's not necessary to manipulate God like so many preachers do! You can become as you are Who God says you are. His light changes things. It's a 'done deal' of myself isn't as I deny myself take up my cross and follow Jesus then. Its just my obedience, our follow through. Loving God and knowing who I am I'm keeping in step with the Holy Spirit! This is a lifelong course in Jesus Christ. Let Jesus the Living Logos and/or Living Rema (they mean the same,) explain The Plan, I'm in. I'm committed to the end! But for the follow through completely let's see spiritually clearly the Bigger Plan now not in the future beyond now for we've mentally assented, made commitment to now. We placed in His Kingdom of His Son to win every soulful place our foot treads upon reposed in Him. The future and present we trust with Him. I will answer my critics by my actions. When coming to God come through Jesus Christ. Come for now is the time to worship.


The Scripture Portion: In scripture particularly there in a Book called Isaiah chapter 55 God gives us precious words and invites us to salvation re: to drink with Him by bonds of relationship fellowship and He wrote: "Ho, every one that thirsts, come ye to the waters, and he that hath no money; come ye, buy, and eat; yea, come, buy wine and milk without money and without price.2 Wherefore do ye spend money for that which is not bread? and your labor for that which satisfies not? hearken diligently unto me, and eat ye that which is good, and let your soul delight itself in fatness.s3 Incline your ear, and come unto me: hear, and your soul shall live; and I will make an everlasting covenant with you, even the sure mercies of David.4 Behold, I have given him for a witness to the people, a leader and commander to the people.5 Behold, thou will call a nation that thou knows not, and nations that knew not thee shall run unto thee because of the Lord thy God, and for the Holy One of Israel; for he hath glorified thee. 6 Seek ye the Lord while he may be found, call ye upon him while he is near:7 Let the wicked forsake his way, and the unrighteous man his thoughts: and let him return unto the Lord, and he will have mercy upon him; and to our God, for he will abundantly pardon. 8 For my thoughts are not your thoughts, neither are your ways my ways, says the Lord.9 For as the heavens are higher than the earth, so are my ways higher than your ways, and my thoughts than your thoughts.10 For as the rain cometh down, and the snow from heaven, and returns not thither, but waters the earth, and makes it bring forth and bud, that it may give seed to the one who sows, and bread to the eater:11 So shall my word be that goes forth out of my mouth: it shall not return unto me void, but it shall accomplish that which I please, and it shall prosper in the thing whereto I sent it.12 For ye shall go out with joy, and be led forth with peace: the mountains and the hills shall break forth before you into singing, and all the trees of the field shall clap their hands.13 Instead of the thorn shall come up the fir tree, and instead of the brier shall come up the myrtle tree: and it shall be to the Lord for a name, for an everlasting sign that shall not be cut off." Isaiah 55.


Petra and Hallelujah Praise The Lord. <<<___----click font="">



The Good News of the Gospel is still the good news: Jesus Christ Died For Our Sins, He was Buried, And rose again from the dead. Many have seen Him alive! Are You Or Have You Been re: Coming To Him? How Would You Like To Be Saved, At last come to be Found By God, And (Introduced fully by His Invigorating Invitation or Welcome through His special love that chooses its object (agape love for YOU) And Feel Up To Really Fully Being Excited "Good To Go" (in terms of logo therapy by Victor Frankyl just this phrase,)) To Becoming An Intimate Friend Of God And Become Who God says you already are, a saved individual, a Bond-slave of the Master, Alive to God now, dead to sin, in a consciousness higher reality plane or higher plateau of An Abundant forgiven Life of forgiveness In Christ From God Starting Over Again In This Life Being Born Twice For Heaven. Being constantly ready then, For The Preparation For And Provable Experience Of A Saving Knowledge Effectually of the Person and Work of Christ and more fully all the time spiritually in your life and others you meet, then Entrance (Someday) To Utopia/Paradise: Heaven! Heaven is a wonderful place. 'Says so in the Bible. If so to 'ya' also, do you know we'll see those that have gone before, so do you know how to get there, or even the scripture in Titus that says, "For we ourselves also were sometimes foolish, disobedient, deceived, serving divers lusts, and pleasures, living in malice and envy, hateful, and hating one another. But after the Kindness and love of God toward man appeared, NOT by works of righteousness which we have done, but according to His mercy ha saved us, by the washing of regeneration and renewing of the Holy Ghost; Which He shed on us abundantly through Jesus Christ our Savior; That being justified by His grace, we should be be made heirs according to the hope of eternal life." The love God has for you now, won't mean more until you grow in awareness of His acts of love consummated by His Mighty Work on the Cross IN YOUR BEHALF. This love agape, unconditional from God, has it made a deep and widely profound effect on you? Do you know ignorantly albeit with some intelligence by sheer genius of will that It is real given as a premise: that He even loves you? Do you know God's beautiful and infinite perfection of love involves He dying for you so you can make a legacy difference in this world bringing many more than yourself to Him and make Heaven someday by His doing (grace alone) given then that you would voluntarily follow Him by choice? It's called Evangelical Choice. The ball is in your basket as the saying goes in B-ball. Saying yes to Jesus Christ involves Regeneration as I read in Titus before and Justification as I read in Romans 4:25ff. Then Sanctification which is a road of separation unto God being made into the image of Jesus Christ never attained quite perfect until we see Him in Redeemed Glorified Bodies in Heaven. Saying Yes to Jesus Christ in God's wondrous actions and/or wondrous grace that He tenderly kindly testifying personally strongly loves you and lavishes on you unconditional love freshly with firm might at the Cross indicates that from all aspects He indeed loves you FIRST? And do you not know that the faith you are using towards God is access and through grace's conduit love isSHED ABROAD BY THE HOLY SPIRIT in your heart WHO does not count our sins against us. Know that there is Hope! It's like we never sinned or were righteous! Even though we say thank you God for such a wondrous salvation we remain undeserving. We do not despair but creep up into God's lap where we hear Lullubys. YOU ARE LOVED! Hope in God is salvation as He is the object and goal of faith. Hope is established on the only one foundation, Jesus Christ. Hope is Salvation which involves discipleship proved in hearing the words of Jesus lifelong Who is the Living Word and Hearing them said of us, "you're My disciple in Whom I am pleased!" obeying the Spirit of the Risen Christ in them nitty gritty- like through Him? What would Jesus do? WWJD. What would He like? These are the questions of importance after you've been saved, asking Jesus inside and being ready really sure for the Day of The Lord or Eternal Life after death in an afterlife! To be in hope, wholly and completely consumed, encompassed by hope afresh, and saved, genuinely a real mcCoy an ask God for grace for being saved through Jesus Christ inside is answered at the Cross, Yes, be born again, and mean it by His Help obediently while He holds you to keep you for His own. It happens once and we mental assent, commit to, and follow through. Jesus is alive praying for us to get saved. We may not know to pray but we still know nothing UNTIL we pray. Ask Him, that is ask God what His perfect will is And follow through with it! Do it knowing salvation is a Gift by grace. Salvation is by faith alone, not plus something! This attitude begins the ask for fruit of God's righteousness in your life not your attempting to make right through personal efforts. Do you know that it is by grace and tender lovingkindness tenderly that one can know God intimately and believe in real time the extent God actually incredibly infinitely went Through in personal suffering and agony at the cross He went through: His attitude going to-the-cross action in Himself, in which He shows His Agape love on us His mankind. It is this way of wonderfully lavish almighty unconditionally beautifully infinite perfection of personal edifying individual godly crushed silence of love bestowed but also loudly abounding in hope strong Agape Superior love for you leaving the effect with Him! Please read your Bible where you learn of this Finished Work in His goodness in His Time and these things inside of the Finished Work of Christ. It's good stuff laying hold of Eternal Life in Him. IT'S TIME to draw close to God and near too with God and powerfully learn what it is to be saved and jumping into His lap in new identity He has of you in Him.

It's being born again! In I John 4:7 we read "God is love!" It's God's good Ho Logos Theos (The Living Word Of God,) we must lay hold of. God brokered a deal, a unilateral God-man Covenant with mankind that's all-inclusive, yes, but one infinitely must have the Son of God Jesus Christ inside themselves to live Eternally and knowing God made salvation open to all so He freely gave salvation to all we must decide for ourselves. Follow the Holy Spirit promptings. Stay in His love obeying and you abide in Christ victoriously. Jesus gave himself to deliver us from this present evil age, Galatians 1:4,5, so we can meet Him in the Day of the Lord or Kingdom Millenium blameless in His love because we get to be this New Creation of His own to get in. For God wrote through the Bible through Anointed men born along of God by His Voice the Mighty and Gentle at times Holy Spirit's hands. We've made our decision to follow Him. We've responded to His love in the way God wanted in scripture in His appearance 2000 years ago and today so it was truly meant to be. Jesus thwarted satan's plan. We came out on top from under it. We're saved and whole now. Striving for perfection, It takes a beautiful lifetime to become people of excellence: the best we can be and Christ-like in an influence for good. God makes the difference. We are nothing apart, and can do nothing apart but He's everything, all in all. Grace is the true Gospel. His New Nature becomes ours.

You won’t find the original biblical Autographs or original language in secondary manuscript writings anywhere but in a museum or cloisters but you do obtain a good translation in today's language. Only the Autographs are inspired though in the original Greek and Hebrew. But many versions are good vicariously so with no change not even a jot or tittle or an iota of difference before they started translating from the early manuscripts to then. How good a version one has and a translation obtained is definitely up to the reader's discernment and The Holy Spirit. There is one meaning to all scripture and that is interpreted Agape love of God correctly. Jesus is God's love incarnated yes incarnated that we might be born again Born of God Born of the Holy Ghost. He didn't swoon. Even the guards were paid handsomely and then killed because they failed to keep the seal but the grave could not hold Him down! He lived, and Died, and was buried and rose the third day. Jesus is Alive! 500 saw Him. Do you believe God would call us chosen to His Son He being the Resurrection and the Life also and do this all for Jesus's glory? Amen, He did. Let's give God the glory.

Having the Only Begotten Son Jesus Christ inside Who was sent by God the Father to earth given to help us in our weakness to make that choice of Salvation & wholeness in The Finished Work at Calvary in Him we have faith. And beginning a saved life we process the newness of Life in procedural Newness from God we obtain, and we can know His love personally greater each day for ourselves and that He never leaves nor forsakes! For God to love us perfectly so much at the cross He begins to like you as well beautifully outside and as well within infinitely in perfection and proportion to personally treat you too well through Jesus, like He favored highly His Only Begotten Son, and this through relationship closeness and, not by externals alone (which is like plastic Pharasaiacal fake religion, nonetheless) but instead treat you to all over again (from the garden) liking you fantastic and phenomenally well with favor INSIDE because He sees you through Jesus Christ the Son up close and near and He finds you (as He did Abraham, Moses, or the Apostle Paul!) And in loving mercy He gives you such a spiritual blessing over against good abundant life in Him thereof and spiritually imparts life richly in His Life with God within you being Jesus interceding for those who are in Christ now as they (Abraham, Moses, or Paul) lived on earth when they overcome to be in Heaven? All this is by faith but we take it by promise from the Word. For all mankind has fallen and will fall for we have fallen hearts but for a saved relationship with our Creator God we have assurance that hopes with longing because grace makes it God's Authorship on the plans from start to finish!

For God is a personal God and the love of God for the people I spoke of led to their honoring of Him in a personal way and/or a devout faith. God wants a Family of personal relationships with all men and women by bond of fellowship of all things common so to speak with you in unity among others of knowing of you. We are not talking abundance of things reciprocity zed here but of the heart, devout, and "in the little crevices," as Inspector Hercules Poirot would say. God is no respecter of persons. He will reward anybody having faith. He says blessed more are those that believe having not seen. His Body of believers believe and want Eternal life!! (See James 1,2,3,4,5 and Hebrews 11:1, 6.) Do you want this faith of an overcomer? And faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen. What's seen is temporal. What's not seen is Eternal. II Corinthians 1-13. Faith gets us to God and God to us in Jesus Christ's faith. We respond evangelically in grace's power by the faith. God wants our life and specially our heart allegience/availability. He wants us in other words. It's all good. We are not better people being made better but sinners in God's hands lovingly accepted on basis of the Finished Work of Jesus Christ!

In relationship With Him (not a religion) and in fellowship restored strong specially walking with Jesus, attending Church (hint, here is mine: Bethel of Franklin Square, NY, 194 Courthouse Road, 516-326-3215,) there is joy in His Service and I'm enjoying everyone’s hospitality and enjoying hearts aflame for Jesus within each one's personal space and God's Personal Space Acts 7:1-60. God has a Family! God had said through Christ to you, "love The Lord your God with all your heart, soul, mind, and strength." And to, "love your neighbor as yourself." On these two commandments is all the Law and the Prophets satisfied, Jesus mentioning He having fulfilled them precisely. A wise man, a professor in our Pastor's Bible College Walter Beuttler, has said that in order for God to do something for us, He has to do something to us, in order that He can do something with us! Let Him!
(use us.)

God was in Christ reconciling the world to Himself and in reconciliation He's not counting men's sins against them but restoring the world to Himself giving us an ambassadorship to come to people's rescue. God will give the nations as an inheritance for you so rescue those around and as a drop in the bucket in so doing. He gives wages to laborers who invite others to His banquet feast in Heaven! Scripture says you're worthy of the reward if you become a laborer. God gives us the opportunity to explain His Work or testify accurately. It takes faith as small as a grain of mustard seed to believe Him by grace in faith or in other words that which is a measured dole dolloped of faith to believe that each of us receive as a part of mankind the whole and a piece of the pie whole His Gifts functioning and producing product that is a gift to God received but to bear fruit and build others up on the side of salvation. Faith from Him with which we receive individually we have then evangelically responded to. God's offer of unilateral friendship relationship must be free, and kept free ONE WAY LOVE: Inexhaustible Grace for our exhaustible world (copyright Rev. Tchividjian,) and real and of free will given to benefit from and keep sincere by washing our feet daily and by God's help. Your talents too and this gift too become free product offered to build others but is not something earned we owe God. In other words we take the cup of salvation not taking common things with it but in purity! Not greedily obtained but received thankfully with relish and passion for God's purity. We're not doing God A favor but we thank God for favor already given by Him at Calvary's flow. Before God have you received power or Dunamis since you believed by receiving the Holy Spirit in Baptism of the Spirit having first come to Christ deliberate but firmly? Do you have His Gift of the Baptism in the Holy Spirit with the initial physical evidence of speaking in other tongues? Do you have Salvation seeds planted in you to will to desire this deep opportunity and do you recognize He gives you seeds to give to others, as your obedience of faith, which is horizontal washing of others feet in faith and Power to become witnesses? That is Vertical access to God first through grace in belief in the Finished Work of Jesus and by relationship indeed followed with loosened tongues of the Spirit's making? He loves you unconditionally and unconditionally you having Him as Source can with Holy Spirit tools, can obey Him powerfully too? To follow Christ filled (into with His fullness) and with Another Comforter the Holy Spirit and fullness (one called along side) and (pleroma) thereof obeying His sayings with obedience is obeying Christ as your All in all after getting saved by the Spirit. For He the Spirit is Help for you literally like beholding in a mirror the image of Christ to seeing the unique person you are and were created or meant to in Christ be! Until we see Him in the mirror reflected however we have a long way to go. We deny ourselves and particularly not by devalueing ourself but honoring His Voice and Person and Work take up our cross and follow Him! We worship or worth ship Him! God is gospeling us the Gospel. Let's be ministered to by God.

There are no imperatives like obeying for yourself in the Word our Lord's commands having come to Christ! Christ within is that mystery of relationship with God I mean to say the hope of glory particularly when We see Him. What would it take for you to show faith towards Jehovah God? Would you need a breakthrough if you did and risked your pride and ego bruised to get to Him He to you by your faith? The only bruise is confessing Him before people sometimes. To not look upon evil or do not sin because it is crouching at your door was said to Cain just after the Garden fiasco and still becomes a crossroads to all born againers trying to obey Christ in the New Covenant. Let's obey not show carnality. Let's not crisscross the Spirit's wishes.

But the Ten Commandments says this and that is limits, and tempted in life sometimes it looks like its grim. But that was Friday, Sunday's a coming! Jesus rose from the dead! Meditate on that! Christ gave His all and can't we even do 'some o dat,' as Carman sings, in faith? Testifying is all we can gain in the Lord victoriously and knowing our failure is in the past too having gone through something, or through general tribulation we enter the Kingdom of God and much of it. We rise from ashes in triumph in Christ! We confess to God because it's our lower nature to disobey and to rebel without this Person of God's Choosing, Jesus Christ at the helm or wheel. Yeah Carrie Underwood! We are powerless inside unless His Spirit gives the go ahead. If we sin we chose to but sometimes we may feel it was in ignorance. Excuses, excuses. This is no excuse because all this is tied to the will. Read Luther's Bondage Of The Will as an excellent book. Mick Mooney has written several valuable books too worth noting too.

We choose however. Moreover, there is no blame or blame game blaming God for sin either or for fantasizing being supposedly in futility sin trapped. Christ is Risen! Risen Indeed! Romans 6:14 says, "Sin shall not have dominion over you, for you are not under law but under grace." We have choices! In Christ is victory and following the Holy Spirit's choices is from Him. But the sinner before coming to Christ which he may or may not do eventually is condemned already not believing on the Name of Jesus Christ and will not until he does! He has no choice but to accept Christ or have meaninglessness direction in life like a wave on the ocean.

God looks down upon the bunch of critters we are and He calls us by name to come to Him like He did Mary outside Lazarus’s tomb. "Mary," He says and sees. He sees us in our sin and messy need in Adam and in our local sin messes but doesn't like that sin harms our lives which sin does (Greek word for sin is harm-atia, ie. sin harms.) He made provision indeed. He is patiently waiting for the restrainer (Holy Spirit in believers) to do His job and the full number to be saved. Vexed are we in Christ in context of this life stumbling upon Christ for salvation, then on walking a strait and narrow way, before He physically intervenes in this sin-trapped existence of man. Remember He’s returning! Hope!

In looking for justice it will be illusive in this life but ask for mercy as much as you can to recall or remember to do and you will be re: right thing. It is something of what God does we cannot assume altogether either. In Christ a cautious life leads to wisdom. He says, "mercy triumphs over judgment," in James also.


But sometimes-bad things happen to good Christians anyway and suffering happens also because we live in a fallen world Romans 8:26,27. Sometimes, "the rain falls on the just and the unjust," applies as Jesus said but we must repent anyway in keeping with the Finished Work and good fruit. Other times we are persecuted for righteousness sake unjustly. Job was tested and you will too so in God's strength make it a giant test not a pigmy test to suffer for Christ not a personal falling short testing or tempting of God foolishly. Remember those in the suffering Church in the Body around the world as if you were in your own body. So how are you doing in Christ? Are you like Him? Maturity is illusive but is to be sought.

We create false unreachable standards before others and compromise them. His yoke is easy but we create burdens too wide sometimes in other words for following. We have broken His Laws deep and come short is the long and short of it. We repent and do it again. This is for sure fact. We have trespassed His glorious message. So have you in sanity confessed this fallen short of heart of yourself to God alone Romans 3:23;6:23?  He says, "If we have sinned or failed at trying one law we've failed at trying them all," (see James 2:10,) then let us examine ourselves to see if it is so. Let us see if we are living by faith in the faith. II Cor. 13:5 can heal your spirituality of faith in Jesus to know Paul asked the question of us in the dramatic present and himself. At times yes we stop ourselves in our tracks: re: become convinced of this breaking of God's heart by us and get healed and fellowship restoration to begin a personal relationship restored of bond of fellowship and working again with God talking it over with Him in winning dialog with our Creator His way restored again Rom 6:23; Rev 3:20. But we must be born again first to know God truly and gain. You ask God personally to know Jesus or if you do get your feet washed.

We will find healing, forgiveness, cleansing, sanctifying power, and His favor exploding being born again God being merciful. Jesus paid it all. This means we get the exousia or authority in original Greek to ask and become God's Children by His Power Dunamus, re: justification, just as if we never sinned! (like windshield wipers.) In being saved, we embrace being God's child in salvation for you and He taking away your sins makes you to stand in right standing forgiven and keeps you from falling in ultimate fashion (Jude 23.) When you fail or fall you prop yourself up again and get peace again with God. You stand and in His Spirit become victorious saints sanctified through and through who follow Christ whithersoever He goes then by faith through grace in prayer and in Christ being in the Word becoming a steadfast disciple of Jesus in the Finished Work examining our Lord's lifestyle and in service to God by faith in Jesus' grace power in the Spirit. We learn to stop the cycle of following elementary principles and grow up in Him!

Imagine going through your whole life living it in the Son's portrait to the fullest in fullness in the Spirit following through in committing to Christ and enduring to the end in its fullest animated sense supernaturally completely by God Himself doing it through Christ the Son within you as a disciple or follower of Jesus Christ! Heaven is just a door step away then, short hop from this life! After salvation or getting there in this life first we put on the New Self which is created in true Holiness and Righteousness of the truth: Who is Christ Himself which is not a step for there are no steps to sanctification. But this is being made holy which Christ does for you. He takes the desire to sin right out of you and away from you. Born again you deny yourself, take up your cross and follow Him as said before. In addition, is follow through, that is doing by the Spirit what which He says and following through with it in a grace-walk. As God-pleasers and not man-pleasers we can do what Jesus said and did and in many ways from one event to another re: be more like Him in it, striving to be like Him more. We can be in the good works God gives us be a new creation (meaning by faith in Him) outside as well within as the Bible puts it in II Corinthians 5:17 calling on Him, crying out extroverted.

Only God is Holy and He makes one Holy as a Gift! It starts at God's altar you make in your heart in prayer at God's Altar in Heaven's seat of mercy! Will you realize that in God’s sight a transaction takes place? You in a sense trade your bologni sandwiches for God's Lobster! But it is God’s Son’s obedience that saves you! Literally. He paid a debt He did not owe. I owed a debt I could not pay. Christ paid the debt I Couldn't pay and for all or everybody’s completion of salvation for there is a past, present, and future aspect to it. Heaven will be pleasure beyond all pleasures of this life. We can exercise faith in the Son and in the obedience then of the Son in the Kingdom of God within (allegiance to Christ Jesus, His Gift, in His Resurrection, His Life, raised to newness of life, seated in the heavenlies, becoming a proved disciple) in joining to His Spirit: re: Belong to Him! By the Holy Spirit's work, we CAN BE THIS DISCIPLE, known for the mark of belonging to Him by His Holy Spirit with His authority too at times, animating it in Him too for He changes us by this transforming of our lives in obedience as in a mirror and to be like Him in the glory of God in the face of Jesus Christ in the Word as we obey the Holy Spirit’s promptings. We go from faith to faith glory to glory reflections of God to help others get saved!

He who has the Son has life! If you do not have the Son in you, there is no life spiritually in you! Stern warnings about missing out on the love of God in the Word are there for lives of sinful habitually in sin without Him lives after hearing firstly of the redemption in Christ and given the Gospel. But until death the way is through Christ. Hell indeed is awaiting one is such a state of independence if they fail to get born again at any moment should Jesus not tarry and come back! There is a sin unto death. Scripture says to not pray for it. Will you accept His Gift? Before it is Eternally too late?

Accepting His obedience on you leading to Eternal Life for you and you renouncing all iniquity is right. You learn God is right. His Death, as your salvation is precious and becomes precious. Yes, lay hold of Eternal Life. Christ is the way, the truth, and the life. No man gets to God apart from Him. Strait is the gate and narrow is the way to life and few there be that find it. Horizontally humans loving other people take the ladder vertically up in contriteness to God up to Heaven to God's sight and His love and His way being right!

Jesus DID have that attitude perspective living obedient pleasing of the Father in His love and He submitted to God in everything. So should we submit to Him and at other times submit to each other in Christ and be living the abundant life saved. In Jesus’ example we have a teacher Who not only lived what He said but did the same also and died firstly to save us He being the example. His integrity was never over the line, and He stood His ground and Died for it, having thus it said about Him, "This is Jesus the Nazarene, King of the Jews." This railroaded charge and true statement but guilty sentence was put in a plaque above His body up on the cross. Jesus’ audience during His earthly life was like an Old Testament one, hence His example of love for God and challenge to keep the Law was so far beyond our ability to keep we would need Him for it. It is impossible apart from Him. And the Biblical language He used was figures of speech that showed this. Christ gave gifts to men. He led captivity captive.

He lived in integrity far away from the edge of or near to any sinning. He took captivity captive and emptied Abe's Bosom and brought the saints to joy. He gave gifts to men. He arose up early in the day to pray to His Father many a time and depended fully on Him for help during that day. Christ knew Decisions that day required wisdom and reliance! God’s unconditional love in Christ was compelling reconciling the world unto Himself in Calvary's Consummation: for He died on the cross AND IT WAS FOR YOU, BURIED, AND BY THE GLORY OF THE FATHER RESURRECTED! We must imitate Him. We, a broken clay pot (a High price though paid for you by Jesus meaning death on a crucifixion cross,) FOR YOU in which God sought by a way within His own Laws of Mercy & Justice providing Mercy drops 'round us are falling to save you in the Blood of the Son's perfection of obedience and Death. Jesus brought His Blood to the Heavenly Throne and Mercy Seat of the ark of testimony between the winged cherubim before the Father.

He lived right and died right a torturous crucifixion death becoming sin for us that we might become the Righteousness of God in Christ. We can sit with Him in Heavenly places TODAY happily! Freedom is never free nor is it cheap. Free countries need a militia and a defense to stay free. However, slavery (ours, to sin) is a high price to pay if it is not intervened for. True slavery is to sin. Oceans and showers of loving acceptance for us from God is approving us for He is not against us or nor from a distance from us chiding us BUT calling us near softly and tenderly FOR salvation and opportunity for forgiveness and He provided the Lamb but sin has made a chasm He wants bridged in our lives by His Blood. When one is subsequently saved sins are taken away gone! Forgiven! There is a sea of forgetfulness in God's eyesight and He posts an ethos and pathos: Corey Ten Boom says, "no fishing sign!" This is so because His Blood enters Heaven the Ark and veil being rent in two at His Death so the way into the Holy of Holies at the Ark of the Mercy Seat before the Father’s Throne could occur.

We make a change of mind and attitude about sin the deed and thought and speech and attitude and do an about face from sin and sinful ways when coming to Jesus Christ for Jesus changes our mind and heart too for that to be possible for us (to be near to God also and able to feel love by God fully and weaned of worries because we come to learn we’re guilty before God firstly and then learn to depend to come to Him moment by moment and remain re: obey His Spirit-filled and Risen Life within. This happens by prayer first. Ask Him how. Jesus is all we will ever learn or know about God. Jesus will consummate everything someday when He puts all rule under His feet. He washes away what we ever are apart from Him by a fire of baptism from Himself He alone can burn the chaff of and change you with for His glory in Word of God seed by showing us an exact representation of God the Father (see Hebrews 12:1-3; 1:1-3.) He in His LOVE comes to us with open arms, heart, mind, and life, before us this wonderful Treasure from God we have in earthen vessels. Our boast is in Him!

We turn & repent and surrender to Him and actually feel changes thus when we relinquish release of control of ourselves to Him but we feel this change over time also. We make a big thing of it. In addition, to feeling a release you will actually BE a believer. Transactions take place before God. You’ll Experience God’s love first testifying for the first time perhaps, awakened and coming into His atmosphere in-breathed in love Agape by Him and you get love, peace, and joy! Then you follow as a disciple! He does save when we take this promise by faith and deaden our preferences as we collaborate and it is making us complete and whole in Him, a work in progress. We receive forgiveness of sins firstly. We are receptive to the Word and come to receive Father and at His Throne we are like receptive trusting children. If God said that settles it. God dealt with the sin issue on the Cross. And when He died, our lives were dead so we exchanged them for His Perfect Sinless Life. We died to sin too and so we seek unseen things above with our Lord.

He made us alive in Him in we coming to Him first He finding us calling ahead we dead in trespasses and sins unable or at the end of our rope  or to lift ourselves up by our bootstraps at all. But now as born again Christians now you can live a resurrected raised up to newness of life spiritual seating with Him in the Heavenlies in a fruit bearing life. We are can do nothing people without Christ or God. With Him Kingdom of God fruit bearing in life is possible and without outside us is a potential unparalleled if you continue to believe seeking His Kingdom first and feeding on Him by faith and you will get heaven’s ticket too having gone into His strong tower of His Name where we find refuge. But then faithfully endure with patience to the end, your race, persevering nourished up in the words of truth enjoying spiritual food, spiritual exercise, and daily foot-cleansing from Jesus Christ and as ministry to the Lord give also of or by yourself to God with your life bless others. Be selfless. Love others as if they were more important. Do the small services to others nice and do them hidden too. Be anonymous as you can in giving. As the saved by faith openhanded we're living by the Holy Spirit from the way open to the tree of life (Jesus Christ) not from the tree of the knowledge (or i.e. from man's failure to obey) of good and evil in the Garden of Eden.

We receive the Spirit of God with great relish who is given to them that love and obey Him. God would not hurt to dismiss the smoking flax or burning wick that is you. Instead He encourages you to build you up. Instead of living by fleshly wisdom, we gain deliverance over the flesh daily, re: those obstacles, which hinder, which are the world, flesh, and the devil and finally win in His Victory as we are saved if we prevail to the end. You ask God for this. God and you are a majority. You need grace from God to stay renewed in mind and Spirit in the Word of God as if from a cheerleader and a butler composed advising. Having made mental assent, commitment to, and follow through accepting Jesus Christ for yourself trusting do not think that without having the mind of Christ all over you like the Paraclete one called along side that you will have victory. The unsaved heathen don’t have Him nor do you have the problems they do have Romans 12:2. "Be not conformed to this world but be ye transformed by the renewing of your mind that you might prove what is that good, perfect, and acceptable will Of God," the verse says.

Christ cleans His fish and Christ builds His Church. We present our bodies to God a living sacrifice in Romans 12:1. We are renewed after knowledge in Him. "That I may know Him in the Power of His Resurrection and the fellowship of His suffering, being made conformable to His Death" Paul said that and within that communion, meant that God and I may have a bond of relationship fellowship. He put all on the dung heap that "I may be found in Him having a Righteousness which is of God through Christ and not of my own." He is near. He is close. This is a worthy goal of pursuit. It is like having a sumptuous meal with Him, (having koinonia, fellowship or communion, and hupernikao which is overcoming victory) this walk with God in depth, a daily  proved discipleship in the way in Christ and in my heart to relish Him and cherish Him in heart is the Great Good News of all time. My heart knows no bounds, my joy unrestrained and because He lives, I too live, and can face tomorrow bravely because I walk close to Him.

We read His Bible and learn exploits of a spiritual life which but for the tip of the iceberg is invisible in born again. Love from Him requited by us now was initially compelling turning us thus so that He wants total possession of us from the Father God's love letter compelling, (the Bible) & its contents being revealed to us through Special Revelation, the Bible, from faith to faith and glory to glory. Rejoice in Him (for today is the day of salvation the Word says) for we can see we need Him. We need salvation and spiritual hunger is there from Him. We need to look into the face of our Father and see He is approving in His look when we fail. Love from God directs spiritual hunger into acceptance from Him and we are published by God as letters read and known of all men. We are highly favored and loved. Believe Him for outstanding existence, excellence.

We do not lose heart but persevere in doing right. He wants to guide us with His eye. Flow in Him. Direct access is by faith. Scripture says of the New Birth, "I will put my laws into their hearts and on their minds I will write them." In our mind, heart, and spirit we are renewed daily, fed, and nourished to be adequately equipped daily for service for Him. Pastors and the Body help do that by edification, exhortation, and consolation stimulating intellect, will, and emotions, respectively. For all of what of three years and thirty years before that of the Life of Someone Named Jesus Christ whose name means "He shall save His people from their sins," whose life over two thousand years ago has been preserved so well in heritage passing down, and being written down about in the Gospels and been a legendary influence to an infinite-seeming amount of people by heritage He did show He exists and lived and prevails! Christians who belong to God started hospitals, Orphanages, Lost And Founds, Schools, and Social Services and even today make scientific notions into inventions.

Imitating God and miming Him in a grace walk of faith with Christ daily in our crucified life in Christ and ultimately in Heaven our Eternal rest,  He is revealed in us and in going there into Resurrected life is from His doing from start to finish. Born of God born of the Spirit ushered in we worship God in spirit and in truth. We are enlightened and illuminated about this GOD of wonders beyond our galaxy in the Bible: it is unveiled to our heart and mind if we read it with New Covenant eyes with open faces unveiled for He has declared Himself in plainness in the Gospels, Acts, and Epistles for us to believe the Gospel for ourselves that Jesus Christ has Finished the work forever and we should live like it is! The Law agrees and gives its approval.

God created us and He claims complete ownership of our being as Creator Redeemer Designer. "If we lived like this Book is real for one week, men would repent in ways we now don't know about." was a quote by a historical figure I believe was from Charles Finney. (RATTLE ME SHAKE ME by HONEYTREE- A song of ministry before the Lord being clean before the Lord with no hiding.) The Steadfast love of the Lord never ceases. We experience God continually in kindnesses and tender mercy daily and moment-by-moment! I pray you find the Lord Jesus Christ as fond and contentedly as Your Master & Savior Lord was of finding you & He becomes in your personality and life Savior & Lord from sins and sin as a principle and near or close to you He indwells.

Jesus said, "Blessed is he who is not easily offended in me. " By faith you can do so by God's grace become the Friend of God, of His Family, a part, a member, and be accountable individually as stewards. It is all in Jesus. Jesus Alone is Source. Believe on Him and abide saved. A son abides forever but a slave does not! It means God casts off your captivity and/or buys you with a Ransom off sin, for you a slave of sin before then sets you free now to sonship. He really loves you in this. The real freedom is freedom from sin, which Christ does for you. You can ask to be made a slave for love of your Master however. Freedom is never free nor is it cheap. Again, I say God allowed His Only Begotten Son to pay a very high price for your salvation. He redeems us with a Ransom that is precious. Serving Him as volunteer bond-slave is a wise response.

Realize, "The greatest deception of the devil is tried by him (in attempting) to make us believe he doesn’t exist." Read The Screwtape Letters by Lewis. And without Him we can do nothing, and we indeed do nothing (we know this) without Him until we know what this grace is really about and even then follow Jesus Christ of Nazareth by faith through grace "practically," a disciple, redeemed from sin and in submission to Him. Christ is our all in all. Surrender every area of control of every area to Christ. It takes a moment to be saved and a lifetime to stay saved. This is principally because of the sin principle and sin nature. Make Jesus Lord. Make the affront of the Gospel your seeming friend as you remain at Calvary where the Prince of glory Died..

We are perpetual students of The Word. We relinquish our past. We press pushups to Him. God in His mercy makes us 'alive,' we being dead in trespasses and sins. We are made alive from the dead while in the body. This is the new birth. We push away the past. Reckon yourselves indeed dead to sin and alive to God. As Saved. Romans 6 says through grace discontinue sinning and worldly associations. Jesus knows our sorrow. He is acquainted with our grief. And the chastisement that brought our peace was laid upon Him and by His stripes we were and are healed! We know His pathos and ethos more each day! We sit in Heavenly Places in Him! We oversee a panorama and even can pigeon hole an attention span in witness and testimony before God to others!

The Certificate of debt (in the handwriting of ordinances which was against us,) is and was destroyed which was against us and God, He having nailed it to His Son's cross made a show of it Col 2:13, 14. Our faith is in God for a believing belief that "it is finished" and that the war is over with God, and within the moment by moment tug in the battle of war with baggage, the battle belongs to the Lord. God is in control (of us,) if we let Him and He is Lord. God calls us His Workmanship, His Poem, His Field, & His Building. He calls sin finished with, in turning to Him and death's dominion destroyed and evil destroyed and sins taken away complete. This is tetelestai the word for a completed process, the word Jesus used from the Cross. It is Finished!


Eternal Death is the result of sins wages (Romans 6:23.) Did you know sins pay.... a wage? It’s Death in tormented state in hell. Don't sin but accept Christ in your heart. Be God’s child instead.

           

             "You are so beautiful," as Zephaniah 3:17 so creatively sings to us and quiets us in His love while others within the Body chime in, because we are indeed re-created in Christ Jesus for good works which we're foreordained to accomplish Eph. 2:10. The Lord God in our midst is mighty to save!

We cherish Him as we realize all this worthiness of God is Himself and there is no one like Himself! He is worthy to be worshipped knowing there is none like Him et al. Our part is to deny self, take up our cross and follow our Lord Jesus Christ. Then we are to obey His commands. Phil. 4:1-3, 6, 7, 8, 13, 19. They're not burdensome. However, there are hard sayings of Jesus to hear and then hearing is to be obeying in Hebrew culture. We endure hardness as good soldiers of Jesus Christ then in submission to Christ in hearing the sayings of Him to do them, having acknowledged them and honoring His Authority to give them to us. WE FIND SO MUCH IF WE'RE BELIEVING GOD BY FAITH IN VIRTUES GOODNESS OF GOD ALONE BY GRACE BUT UNWORTHY OF IT THOUGH BUT SAVED BY FAITH THROUGH GRACE THAT KNOWING, THAT GOD IS FOR US Rom. 8:30,31. Love so amazing somehow! He will begin to process the fruit of a Christian life in and through us in the Spirit. That is a hallelujah not a sigh. PTL.

There is no condemnation TO YOU in Christ Romans 8:1. Moreover, you are sealed 'in Christ' like eternally secure saved unless you walk out of the Father’s hand, but you won’t want to do that. Usually stay on target focused all the time in Him. Abide in the Vine, Jesus Christ (menos.) Attached you will find identity in Christ in His Death, Burial, and Resurrection life in Christ manifested in you and by you by this new identifying of Jesus Christ within and drawing near, denying self because it is in Him you are saved and God never asks us to devalue ourselves but indeed block ego. You stay 'in Christ' like you are in a cup. Remaining in the Lord with satisfaction you are in a war with the world, the flesh, and the devil, which Christ won for you. We are walking out that victory as believers in trench warfare as Christians: believing to see Jesus go before us in the Spirit everywhere, for the Spirit and Presence of God goes before us everywhere in every situation and on us and we are victorious everywhere in Christ by faith over everything Romans 8:37 (hupernikao in Greek, overwhelming triumph of the Lord.) This is staying in Christ, attached. Obediently obey the word of our Jesus as Lord because He will empower latent heat or dormant faith that possesses potential!

We learn to suffer for doing right. We learn to abide in Christ in the body while doing the right thing in a normal Christian life. Read The Normal Christian Life by Watchman Nee. This is the message of the Gospel to remember the suffering Church. In Heaven, there is no more trace ever of evil or sin in the Presence of God in Heaven for us I Cor 15:1ff. We will certainly have new bodies then that are sinless and in the Spirit then fully righteous and completely holy. Mo eye has seen ear has heard what God is preparing for those who love Him. We are saved eternally then, awed by God's wonderful Power and Presence within us forever in Heaven and sinless for Eternity. We or us may possess fifty senses in that State instead of the five we currently have!!

As a good Father and Farmer winnows away chaff with His winnowing fork in His Hand so does our Heavenly Father God winnow our lives of dross impurities letting the chaff blow away. And He loves us greatly even in trials of all kinds even to have our lives being used and cleansed heatedly in fiery troubling times to be clay pots with His Treasure about you to do His bidding. Our endurance is like buying the gold God wants to passively let His way work purity of faith believing Him in and through us. God purifies we or us even like coal in an oven until we’re diamond like. God once saving you can use you. Are you open to Him?

We must not offend or be offended by anything God does for us that we fail not to like. Moms can say hitch a hike if we do sometimes. But God can do anything and surprising us is His acts too bless us. He does not tempt anyone at all but does test but not more than we can bear and does intervene in an organically curative role miraculously in you as we're continually receptive. Seek like Abraham holding down Isaac to find your "ram" in the way of escape from that particular temptation. God helps and others they feel His reach convicting and become born again, through the Holy Spirit Who is persuading them. Or of His work in us to do the work of an evangelist we attempt to speak and convince by preaching the Gospel in demonstration of the Spirit and power to be saved by His Persuasion of the Gospel facts through the Holy Spirit convicting them and using us who are Messages of Messengers. We are the Messages and in our personalities we are the Messengers. We must pray not to get in the Holy Spirit's way as if to do His work. Jesus brings us to faith in Himself for a job witnessing so others can receive a Divine Blood Transfusion. I plead with you to be saved. II Corinthians 5:19-21.  We are living letters of the heart of God.

Will you come to God 'Just as I Am?' the song goes? God chose this accepting of Jesus Christ as the way to confound the wise, the worldly wise, the disputer of this world, the ignoble & foolish who see who turn, and are born again: this is God's way to be saved in accepting the Son's Perfect obedience applied to your life and heart in His Death/Resurrection the ultimate reach of God to man providing His Sacrificial Atonement for your sin. They go sent to live lives of faith and redemption in obedience to the Holy Spirit's ways and they follow after the Spirit being followers of Christ by grace. They live the Christian life one day at a time as a grace walk and love walk like two sides and like climbing a ladder with both feet. (As also, they came to Christ, so they abide and stay with Him, attached, remain, menos in Greek, and walk in Him Col. 2:6; John 15; I John 2.) They weep but rejoice too. We're laying up treasure in heaven meaning growing in grace in Christ with humility and seeking God's Kingdom inside first with a quality of love so astounding we lay sorrow aside and think of God's Astounding Opinion some where we experience the true 'I want to' of God's love to us in boldness. Where Christ is king we gather together in His Name.

We give cups of cold water in Jesus’ Name and receive one another as we would Christ Himself with Agape love acted out for them as Agaping or phileoing is more like it as witnessing in truth and action is warranted. We receive a righteous man and a prophet so we may receive a righteous man's reward like theirs. We give and learn to give even more. And we don't own any of the gifts of God! We get used in them! We are useful as we remain submitted and available. God promotes and man can be demoted in acting irresponsibly. So let's do all we can re: be faithful in the little things and integrified in the disturbances. The early bird catches the worm. But humbly and cautiously we feed the servants of our God in His timing and not dissipate with our lives. And then be ready for the Host of the Wedding or Lord of the Vineyard, when He comes we may open to Him! And so we watchful occupy (actively be ready) for Christ's return, and are being desirous to be like Christ, as impossible as it sounds ultimately as He lived His life as best you can until He comes back (which is a discipleship challenge,) from glory to glory even event to event.

It is through the Holy Spirit's work this conviction occurs through an outlived walk step by step In His Steps within. We make good ground to hear the Word in others and primarily ourselves so we are changing transforming of heart always, God and myself watering, waiting, weeding, cultivating. And your ticket to Heaven is by faith through grace, not of you, not of yourself, nor works lest any man should boast. And a ticket can be held by someone beside you until it is not in abeyance, but really received meaning the resurrected Christ within dwells in perfect relationship union and is sent forth in God's timing in super ways, meaning super directed ways God can use.

We are not religious; but we maintain a relationship with the Lord! Truly we 'love God' with all our heart, soul, mind, and strength in two commands, namely the afore and "love your neighbor" "as yourself," which is the summing up of all the Old Covenant 613 Laws. Rejoice in Him. Pray and ask God for salvation so you can live ready too if you haven't. You are God's masterpiece when specially known by God appreciative of His ministry toward you after receiving salvation and knowing you're loved, accepted, then redeemed on top. You’re also safe in God‘s hand as you live, and move, and have your existence in His being obeying. Let Christ high priestly minister to you continually.

It is also an abundant life no matter what for we exchange our sins for His life of quality asterick express within and outwardly express it as well! After salvation or becoming saved YOU are then being a thank you epistle to God (letter is an epistle in Greek,) written on our hearts by the Holy Spirit of God within and without with the laws of God in the Spirit with the Names of God in the strong tower and confession of faith with the heart of God. With everything within submitted to Him, with zeal also we follow Christ and be disciples as saved proved in the ways of the Spirit through Christ the Risen One. It is by grace from start to finish this abundant life in zeal sparked inside to get a fire going in the Spirit in and through Christ to Eternal Life, and is lived now and is everlasting. "It is through much tribulation we must enter the Kingdom of God," Paul said in Acts as encouragement.



From Dave Candel born again Christian and with the Holy Spirit’s aid. May the Fullness of the love from God and the communion of the Holy Spirit be yours as we all crawl toward the Lamb!!

P.S. Mt. 6:33. For it's a transformation a Wave of the Spirit or particle within of light becoming beams that are becoming NEW life we live in Christ not a reformed one but newness of life in the Son S-O-N. Be a pro visionary! Be salt to your earth and light so you can be The Light of the World to others who may need you.

God promises to bring His Promises to pass and fruition and finish what He starts in you New Creation in Christ Phil 1:6; Gal 6:9ff; I Thessalonians 1. In His return there's hope!

Go For Gusto with God in His Love! I John 3:1. But it’s all of Christ we have every spiritual blessing in Him so when the promises are fulfilled ultimately and we be ‘in Christ,’ righteousness confirmed is when you get to Heaven and the portrait of the Son meaning you GET THE SON and all He holds in abeyance and inheritance FOR YOU is yours! Read the Word. No man knows the day or the hour! Living by faith in Jesus above, I'm living by faith and feel no alarm! You know 'twas best to let Him to have His way with you!

Let’s pray and count it all foolishness what lay of the past we remember realizing it may have existed far different than that reality you recall and lay hold of being found in Him not having a righteousness of our own but HIS! Let Him replace your life for Him His Power and Presence in you in Christ! As you know and settle it in your mind you are in Christ follow the Lamb wither-so-ever He goes building on the foundation of Christ gold silver and precious stones and Him Crucified, Arisen, and Coming Again! Hearing is obeying in the Hebrew culture so let’s hear and OBEY to trust! For yet I’m crucified with Christ and yet I live! Galatians 2:20.

There are Healings, Salvation In And Through The Name Of Jesus!


Bethel Assembly Of God Church

Thanks Lord for being there for me! How can I say thanks Lord God for the good things You have done for me? I will take the cup of salvation and call upon the Name of God. Jesus is the Name above all Names, Beautiful Savior, Glorious Lord, Immanuel, God is with us. When I gave my heart to Christ in 1961 at the age four I knew I'd be accused of being a goody-two-shoes but I determined I'd belong to God and His Kingdom I'd seek Him even as a lad in Grade School with all my heart.

I'd try to not let my left hand know what my right is doing as Christ said about giving but live within the confines of the conscience God gave me in giving and sacrificing my life for His service. A Bondslave of Jesus Christ and Knowing God at an early age, I tried to tell others about finding Christ inside and what that meant to our living. I heard abuse from Jews and Catholics but I stayed the course and remembered to talk to God about everybody before I talked to anybody about God. I wanted to be a disciple of Jesus' in truth not just an outward Christian. I knew if I learned the Bible well and was taught all about the characters in it and the story of Redemption thereof, hiding God's Word inside then I'd be building a good foundation on Christ against the storms of life to come. And it has been so.

Righteousness by faith is what I long for. Righteousness is what I need (God's.) Stuff can take a back seat. Things and possessions just get in the way. But even as a child I wanted to tell others what I found in knowing God and it wasn't always easy. My godly parents took me to Church every Sunday and Wednesday. Twice on Sunday. And I went forward often to the altar to pray. I needed God and I was not a good sinner and I wanted to live for Christ determined. It was my intentions to have God change my life to please His.

By grace I've been saved, I have a certain salvation, and my anchor in the Lord of hope in Himself enters within the veil, and grips the Solid Rock that by faith, not of myself nor any good works, lest any boast. And He grips me back. It's not about me but what Christ has done for myself in His Finished Work because of what He's accomplished on the Cross and Who He is.


Almighty God Most Holy Lord, glorious Almighty God is He! We love and worship Him with all our might, heart, mind, and strength. I read and reread tracts or little booklet Gospels or synopsises of the Gospel as I began to call them, being young and I began to see the plan of God in blueprints in His Word of God's Perfect Will better as a kid. Seems like we won't soon forget that overdraft of His checks we write against His Finished Work forgetting to take account or His Backdraft of Fire of Who He is (the Cross and what it stands for,) if we do that innocently as a child of God a New Creation!. We need to keep in our minds eye that Price Paid for which we were bought and paid Ransom for and emotions will follow even mood with we being active and alert: re: our love for God fervent & foremost fervent for Him because this world would try to take that away. This world has an enemy, the devil and, satan is his other name. No elder brother, oh please.


Ephesians says, "Be filled with the Spirit." and "Be strong in the Lord and in the power of His might." "Put on the whole armor of God that you may be able to stand in the evil day, and having done all, to stand." Put on Helmet, Sword, Shield, Belt, Shoes, Breastplate, and Prayer always with all supplication for all saints as that armor. May you see the Savior' Blood applied to your life and find your happiness and joy in belonging to Him if you haven't done so already! The promise of God is as bright as our shades.

It says in Hebrews, "without the shedding of blood there is no forgiveness of sins." All it takes is a prayer to God and commitment to Christ to admit that you're a sinner, a falling short (of God's glory,) wretched sinner, guilty as charged, and worthy of hellfire but then confessing God's love, one accepts Christ as individual Savior and Lord from sin. No condemnation but justification is what God wants. You then follow Him abiding in Him bearing fruit, then being a witness for Him. Born of God.

Love God with your whole soul and let Him know that you love Him and tell everyone else, proclaiming "release," "you're free! of this world: the lust if the eyes, lust of the flesh, and the pride of life." You're not in it for a problem-free life but a hallowed consecration of whatever it takes to follow and to belong to Jesus in committment. Have that encounter with Him in God's sight.

Jesus is that Davidic Covenant Keeper, Messiah. He fulfilled the Law by actually keeping it thoroughly by love and obedience. He went beyond obeying to be pleasing approving also by the Father God. He loved God and His fellow man perfectly. He is therefore able to save us to the uttermost all we servants that come unto God by Him seeing He ever lives to make intercession for us. He lives by the power of an indestructible life after His Resurrection. We are priests after the order of Melchizadek as He is! Sin's wage is death but death could not hold Him! We sit with Him, victors, HuperNikao overwhelming victors, not victims in the Heavenlies at the Throne.

As THE perfect the Lamb of God sacrificed then, Jesus' Blood was (shed) so we could be free. Now I'm forgiven. Jesus keeps giving and giving. Love is not love until it goes through a test & until it is pure gold and dross is removed and poured out. We give. God wants us to choose Him by faith and use our will and passions to belong to Him, but heaven forbid not by force.

It's a Gift, Eternal Life, and we must accept it. Make that prayer to know God and obey the Son. Justification happens. You begin to really live like your alive from the dead. The Holy Spirit is your gift when you believe the Finished Work applies to these things. In God's timing all things become beautiful. God is good. "Occupy until I come," Jesus said, on the offensive winnning battles on your knees. Jesus won the war and we lead triumph to victory in Jesus' Name. Snatch them from the flames calling God Holy!



"Trust him. And when you have done that, you are living the life of grace. No matter what happens to you in the course of that trusting — no matter how many waverings you may have, no matter how many suspicions that you have bought a poke with no pig in it, no matter how much heaviness and sadness your lapses, vices, indispositions, and bratty whining may cause you — you simply believe that Somebody Else,by his death and resurrection, has made it all right, and you just say thank you and shut up." - Rob Capon
