Surrounded by Your glory What will my heart feel Will I dance for You Jesus Or in awe of You be still Will I stand in Your Presence Or to my knees will I fall Will I sing hallelujah Will I be able to speak at all I can only imagine I can only imagine So TRUE BLESSING BE MULTIPLIED TO YOU THROUGH THE TRUE KNOWLEDGE OF GOD And through the SON, JESUS. He's the Christ. The Yeshua Homeshiak!.

Last post while my Mom was alive! Born Again, There's Been A Change In Me!!
Oh He Gave Me A Brand New Newness of Life originally written April 15, 2008 12:25 AM updated December 16, 2014 from Pastor RC's recent sermon : Fellowship of Promise on Ephesians, He's in the midst of the candlesticks! (Revelation 1-3)
Have you ever wanted to start life all over again? To begin all over?! To admit the effects of your sins have taken their terrible toll and want them to end deceased as in funeral cut off if God permit! Then to start a Second Birth, a sort of mystical ethical and spiritual cleansing relinquish of our wills to a takeover by God, a spiritual conversion, God's Sought after way of the cross up on Christ's life and ours, during His Life, His Death, and His Resurrection in the Scriptures. Jesus Christ is in Heaven showing revealing the Father God personally in our personalities. The Holy Spirit is revealing Jesus Christ to us. The Trinity three in one are with us. Jesus lived, died, was buried, and rose again as in the scriptures. He makes the difference in those bound for heartache and defeat. We must not only have a love for the facts of the Gospel we must relish them, says Pastor Iannucilli. It's being saved from sins: an Eternal forever time of faithful experience in heavenly places spiritually in Him we obtain in coming to Him. And it's for the integrity of character or transformation making into Christ's image that comes about through faith in God through Christ's Death and Resurrection, And Glorification, a faithful Salvation even the Propitiation of God's wrath's end in satisfaction and in the Blood in which we get hupernikao (Romans 8:37 super victory) to live victoriously in Him over sin(s) and through the Righteousness of our Lord Jesus Christ, imputed salvation!! The joy of the Lord is mine in forgiveness of sins following God and His Son's way so that I mean to break forth into singing and shout for joy (Isaiah 54:1,2) really leave all behind given up to Him, deny myself, take up my cross and follow Him: live like Jesus is absolutely in control here and that He would want me to be ministered to by His love and live a sacrificial giver lifestyle without towers (and to do so) in the center of God's will, to be from dead alive to God and dead to sin and sin's influence, alive to God and established in righteousness of His discerning in cloudless rarified air in Jesus Christ the Savior His will for myself! To obey God first wave up in the Rapture (Second Coming) asking Him in to further ask for His pardon in Salvation that will fill my soul with love and finally joy, and peace giving strength by His Doing He ministering to our countenances then spirits so we can be transformed even transported into Heavenly attire of Christ's robe of Righteousness soaring into Father's Throne clothed in Jesus and seated with Christ next to Father God and right with God transported into His Likeness Pardoned and into God's perfect Plan A for our lives all before Christ comes back again. Grace is how the method this occurs by meaning significantly, "by God's doing." Heaven is our goal. I mean the Heaven of the Bible. Experiencing a hope in Him transforming us then into newness of life in Christ from faith to faith or glory to glory being born again unto a lively hope we're living in faith in God our Source at peace with Him in a standing justified of God. A coming out the cocoon a glorious monarch butterfly instead of a cocooned up meal worm as in John 3:3,5 is us. (Let the atheists attempt to explain the butterfly, how it came to be.) Born again life then is then that with new hearts, new spirits, and new minds we glorify God Ezekiel 36:26; Matthew 5:16. Jesus Christ Who was given a sacrifice for the sins of the world is our personal Savior and Lord. Reconciled to God to be abundant in life in forgiveness of all our sins to live a fullness of God's will the Spirit can give conviction to repent of sins and to bear fruit in repentance. We're saved by faith through grace and so we do those works God ordained for each of us personally to do (Eph. 2:7,8,9,10) with a better mood, enhanced better right attitude and a Partaking God's Nature we live through Him with power to witness with all might and by continual repenting glorify Him without individual credit and unto every good work fruitful for the Body of Christ team humbly. Salvation must have commitment and repentance to it. There's a time for rewards later personally. Jesus replaces your life with His living through you Galatians 2:20;3:1-3. God loves you while you were still a sinner John 3:16; Romans 5:1-10. Imagine in addition being accepted in the Beloved Local Flock and Family of God then on obedient to God according to the scriptures in the New Testament, a part and parcel one of God's Family and Body of believers locally like 2 Corinthians 3:1; and 9:8 say, unto every good work circumspect being Holy and wholly allowing God unto every circumstance. No rules nor regulations nor godly of a form but no power but instead LIFE abundant. From sorry and empty to glad and full And joyful Jesus puts us. No sex outside marriage though. Ideally thinking of the ideal mate spiritually. We interpret God's Word to mean what He says about His institution of marriage and design for the family. We can be sexual creatures but intercept missiles that were meant for evil God turns into good. We're like that teacher in the Father's heart for God is for us and in being FOR the salvation of the lost. We can overcome this world's pernicious thoughts and become God's Minutemen ready to accomplish His will at an available moments notice in the battle on our knees for men's souls. Real spirit of prayer is given to us to intercede for others as is the Christian's Diamond's reception of receiving lovingkindness from ministry from God and this is lived on our knees serving ministering to God first. Real Life is what Jesus came to give enhanced. The Bible says, in Isaiah 54 God has everlasting loving kindness in chesed in covenant compassion from Him for us. Compassion is feeling along with us the pain we go through. Loving kindness is chesed, a Hebrew word for Blood Covenant with God in the manifestation with which He treats us. Isaiah 54 further says, "God's Covenant of peace is not shaken." In the previous Chapter Verse Six it says, "All we like sheep have gone astray. We have turned everyone to his own way (there is no one good not one,) and the Lord has laid on Him (Jesus Christ) the iniquity (the sins) of us all." Isaiah 53:6 and Romans 3:10. Jesus took the rap for the sins or the dessert we all deserve. He took upon Himself the penalty for each of us of the consequences or the end of the effects of our sins has even the entirety of punishment our sins deserved and exchanged our place in those debts for His. When He was Resurrected Glorified Jesus Christ God was saying "just enough" about His Death to satisfy Himself, His Resurrection, His Righteousness, Holiness, Justice, His hate for sin, His good Daddy indignation at evil someday or disdain for evil future, (Great Trib.). Turning to God, we (Greek Metanoia, a change a changing of our mind, toward sin re:hate for it) have been saved, that is, have a personal relationship, not made up religion of man, with God through my Savior, Jesus Christ and through Him to God from on the Cross, and Empty Tomb so we turn back to God. Jesus makes a real difference in the way we live. This is the truth of the Gospel. I have known God from a child but (re-) respond as He hears the penitent sinner too because through Jesus Christ mercifully He knows everybody's need individually intimately in and with such care and perfectly placed perfection of on fire love from His heart through the cross that I know Him supernaturally revealing Himself personally to moi and that He in His Redemption stretches to extend kindness over us and buys me back from my past redeems me for Eternal Purposes to shine brightly the brightest light in the room and have an inheritance with the Saints in light, Jesus Christ being the Light Colossians 1:12, and that in acknowledging of what He did at Calvary for our Salvation with my totsl life, He is exalted. We determine our purpose is to glorify God that men may glorify the Father God having observed and perceived that our works were done in God that they're wrought in God as a result of Salvation Matthew 5:16; John 3:21 He gives back to me newness of life because it was for me He accomplished salvation and is known by myself Lord and Master and Savior to all as I admit that I'm a sinner saved by grace and the Blood covers it all my past with its sin and consequential destruction from shame and for that I get a new heart and new mind, and new spirit and when I die my legacy will live on (continue) yet I will see Him and He me and have Heaven for certain too for God has said that what it's about is being saved in obedient submission in humble daily assurance with God which it is by faith and committment and follow through all through grace (God's undeserved favor, or unmerited,) unto Eternal Life. This faith is in His Son, the one way to God now Home Who in our hearts He comes to dwell. He's good about keeping His promises true to His Word yet so we should along with the promises persevere in Jesus living in Him abiding, and stand certain (fully assured) in Christ having done all, to stand and surrendering to Him with white hot fiery love and obeying. Christ is The Promise. But God, had mercy and He's also Just, Holy, good and Righteous in His character which makes Him indescribable, uncontainable, right. Standing firm then in all His will with His words especially His Finished Work we receive from Him ministry moment by moment and live in Jesus whole and complete being that God used a double edged sword to correct or comfort us in any situation Col.2:9. Love one another for love fulfills the whole law I Cor. 13. God is faithful. God is good as good is a word meaning wholeness and beneficience as a good Father or Daddy and Mother would give benefits, value judgments, protection, shield, and provision in a wise fashion to their children. Jesus said, "If you being evil know how to give good gifts to your children, how much more does your Heaveny Father know how to given good gifts to them that ask Him?" Ask for the Holy Spirit. We surrender our wills even our entire lives to God when we become born again. You can have and behold around you the power of God to do right now. Yet in this commitment I respect His Power in this life to potentially cast myself into fire of hell as we do not want Him to turn over to us and say we're evil after this life, then first works after salvation say obey Him, obey Him to the nth degree in faith deeper in the love of Yeshua Hommashiach Messiah (Jesus) yet so only He can see it ultimately and intimately and legally by His Standards justify our walk in mercy in Him to defend (vindicate.) Knowing the terror of the Lord we pursuade men. We don't need to stand up and say how great I is for coming to Jesus but humbly let God justify in every circumstance. Therefore we know He's the Rock Sword Shield and in Holiness he being bigger He holds our hand and we count the cost to follow Jesus moment by moment to reverence or obey the Holy Baby Jesus more in bigness. It is by our faith in Him through His Work Finished in the Cross, the Finished Work He provided is Done so in awe of Heaven in the afterlife for you and me it (our Eternal Inheritance) is by Him held for you and I. It's a kept provision in HIM by grace so we can begin to invest in the Heavenly Kingdom of God with abandon having endurance to His end and to the end. All God's promises have fulfillments and He Doesn't miss one. We can have a quick spark start to the Kingdom of God continually in this abundant life in Him even, "its increase with every step in our Jesus walk," says Pastor Rich. "Lay up for yourselves treasures in Heaven where neither moth nor rust do corrupt and where thieves do not break in and steal. For where your treasure is, there will your heart be also," Jesus said. His mercy at the Cross was just enough to save us and more than enough to keep us as we put our faith and trust in Him expectantly persevering for Him to do it all in us (save) that is be alive to God in the complete center of the will of God as we obey the Spirit to the nth degree. Yet He intercedes from Heaven for us and so persevering for me in prayers of intercession from Heaven gives me a shot in the arm at pumped up faith at odds against me in this life even like Murphy's law would put us in a pit so that He is every circumstance turning out and around for good as is He permanently dwelling within me powerfully by grace and works in me mightily as I walk in the Spirit and succeed to become strong in The Lord and very brave like Joshua was told to be. There is no shame in following Jesus, my dear Sister Marge and Alvin Hill have preached and taught and shown by their lives and have done among us! And Pastor Rich and Pastor Anthony have lived! And yes Gene and Judy Holley and the DiLullo's - Al and Millie as well and Lisa!
"And the God of peace will crush Satan under your feet shortly. The grace of OUR LORD Jesus Christ be with you. Amen." Romans 16:20. It's a trust in God in our faithful God! In His faithful powerful Presence our Promising God puts perseverance into action for us (that being our part to put legs or feet to our faith as well) to be moving toward wisdom and the prudent knowledge of the fear of The Lord because He is Holy and knowing He is Holy brings understanding that I must be Holy too because He is true to His Perfect Character and Jesus Christ is the Truth in a Person personified and so we abide in Him and His Word in us and it's His will. Be you Holy for I am Holy, the scripture says. His Word tells of Perfect Character of God in His ways unchangeable that Is perfectly steadfast. God is a good Person. He is Good through and through and Righteous and Holy in Himself yet hates sin perfectly and as sin's insidious nature is revealed, is opposed His Finished Work the antecedent of the insidiousness of it with infinite love brings mercy and grace. God will judge sin, all of it but if your forgiven, saved, there is no more remembrance. All knowing and all powerful and everywhere at once present He is our Maker, Creator and now Redeemer. How great Thou art! God. He honors His Word above His Name. We need to get daily Bread even from Heaven. Jesus is our Bread of Life. God we believe wills to offer revival to us in America as He has around the world and as He would allow as we intercede and pray that He relents of judgment even absolute abundant exuding of mercy instead over the land so as to He to be ever so giving in His merciful Presence generously and with extended everlasting lovingkindness tenderly in compassion (He follows along our pain with you,) so we can taste and see that the Lord is good and convicting us. So then we can be standing tall though still too in Salvation at peace with God firmly steadfast and certain in relationship seeing His salvation (responding too) in signs and wonders God performs confirming the Word taught and committed to Himself (more) so for us to obey Him more and we in Him moving around in His Presence everywhere delighting in Him and as His creation in coming back to Him and in pleasing Him. In other words we do a spiritual Jericho March with our lives even seven times around the brick as the seventh Day of God's approaches. When the Lord says SHOUT we shout and blow our trumpets with our ram's horns and break our pitchers with His Presence raying bravery outward at the rear of the army of God. We go straight before us and easily conquer the Promise Land of triumphant living in our Lord. In good faith to Him we commit to Christ more of everything we have as He's a conquering Jericho first within us Who is a resurrection capable empowering personal God to us who's suffered (and still suffers filling afflictions) that I might know,"the fellowship of His sufferings and The Resurrection from the dead that I might know Him better and somehow to attain the resurrection from the dead meaning Heaven in the future." He became like us a faithful high priest in all points tempted as I am yet without sin so I can become as He was a deeper disciple winning Ai second time around on my knees and be who I'm meant to be all the time continually yet continuously His own purchased possesion Hebrews 2:14-18. Then with His aid I will see the salvation of The Lord in more deeper imagination and expectancy lowering at the horizon and yet hope raised in Him alone and for unsaved loved ones salvation their moving in God's Spirit potentially for their Salvation personally someday and by Christ's intercession in Heavenly places. Jesus and The Elders pray for us by intercession. We pray for one another too having hope to see our loved ones. He prays too that our faith not fail. We have also a great cloud like witnesses being our fans from God's camp.
Like the Israelites in the Wilderness one doesn't need a reformed life by which we have mere turning over a new leaf or like lifting up our bootstraps would be but spiritually in the desert going in circles for lack and plenty, bitter complaint followed by refreshing in experience and yet no one teams from that significant experience but Joshua and Caleb as successful of Israel. But everyone needs a transformed life, a changed glorious life from His Presence flowing extroverted on the inside out lived out in New Covenant lifestyle. Christ has to be in you and be Lord by faith. Victorious on a more permanent basis dwelling within us, out of our innermost being scripture says Christ shall flow out of us rivers of living water. Deep water. Artesian well refreshing water is in Jesus. God loves you and you can be sure that scripture came about true and has re: innumerable fulfillments. Like Jack on the Titanic God invites as He calls and provides for us to hold on to the thought of the window through which one can see Jesus smiling in the lifeboat or the airplane pilot genius and crew Jesus provides smiling to save us but not to be looking at the furniture floating in the ocean nor the empty clean cockpit until help comes. I will look to the hills from whence comes my help, my help comes from The Lord. Our Lord came seeking and to Save the lost. Jesus can be transacted to you dwelling permanently inside you even if man's help is there too, so with great permanence if you agree (homologeo in Greek) with God in prayer by the Spirit that is move near Him a hearing and in obedience believe His Spirit. Move where He is to hear Him. You can go to a Bible Church. Or the woods to gather in His Name with other Christians. You will be promised always a state of growth and no negligence because you commit to God's Salvation and Him. God can use a raven to feed you. Even a dove too.
All Old Testament law was given a detriment to further loss of life as encouragement to us mankind in faithful living in order to prevent more extreme violence from retaliation and revenge from one another. By falling short the Ten Commandments you're being shown you're a sinner who has heartache and/or needs spiritually realizing not being perfect and by the Word attended to that you are wrong before Him in the mirror and hopeless as to Eternal sight of Heaven a sinner lawless transgressed, a wretch failing and not too obedient at all at the tablet of your heart at least in one point at the Tablet of The Ten Commandments either side, either toward blaspheming God's worshipful honor, or man's interpretation of man in his miserable mistreatment of man, (the other tablet) and thus acknowledge and confess then to have missed the mark in keeping them and yet still subsequently turning to repentance. All sin is against God whether it harms or hurts someone else or is known to be against God outright. All sin originates in the heart and done different ways so we should have compassion on those that sin and transgress and especially brothers. But Repentance is important to change one's mind and direction about face from sin while it is still called today the accepted time. Do not harden your hearts. Then agree with God you need a spiritual makeover because you're a spiritually bankrupt individual inside and out and want forgiveness. Because of His mercy and grace that they help one draw near to the Throne of God they will cover you by the Christ's Blood then which will take away your sins and you will be forgiven and saved! God cleanses us once but the effect is over time greater enhanced. So give your life and heart to Jesus Christ Savior and and He will cleanse you and make you someone new and better. Make Him Lord. Confession is agreeing with God, what He says. God will call you out on something (most gently and in private if you can handle repentance from the Holy Spirit that way,) and correct you if He feels you need it. Also no good thing will He withhold from you. If it's truly good He gives it but remember He's a doting Dad.
Live at the Altars of God in peace with God justified by faith. Justification is God's part. Sanctification is His part as well as we allow Him. He will show His works through us and on us, in us. His Son's Blood completely avails to all who call upon Him through which Jesus Christ can be evidence of your being saved He being your Lord and Master and Savior and that your rest from your own works which are a part of your own life needy are exposed and so you gain His rest in the strength of might God provides in the Blood instead. You can finish strong. Pastor Catapano preaches that, meaning, "That inner strength from God is for power and endurance and to resist," (temptation or sin and sorrow of this world for self or sinfulness which even borders on self-hate.) The love you have must be for God first and with all your strength, heart, soul, and mind, then recognizing your destiny you must love others as you love yourself. This is healthy self-love not illusion of grandeur. One must love sacrificially as Christ loved you. This is so you can finish life moment by moment strong and in His strength. This has to happen in the Spirit. You need to have the inner power of the strength of the Holy Spirit to live right and good strong. This means you must be born again. Seek to be filled with the Holy Spirit. Imagine or try to imagine how enormous and great in all dimensions God's love is for you in His inheritance by you you obtain in the saints which is His Inheritance to godliness and shown revealed to you will be by you having an eye open to the riches of His grace and in His calling unto the granting of His glory. Be filled full of the Spirit and glory. You aim at the prize of the mark of the upward calling of God in Jesus Christ when you're saved or you'll aim at nothing my Pastor Rich Catapano says. Just agree again you're a sinner lawless before God's eyes in specific details and attitudes and actions known to you from introspection by you but you know He sees them and He will bury your sins in the sea of forgetfulness then (where no one can dig them up, but God tramples them,) as you confess them.God takes your word (about your surrendered faith in Him) and combines it with the fact of Jesus's promise in His Covenant in the written Word attended to to raise you up Resurrected, with Him a new person with a new heart, lifestyle, and new spirit in Him and makes you born again in newness of life, gaining Eternal Life as and subsequently to one endures to the end. You don't need to rehash your past again nor retaliate on others nor entertain problems but let Him reverse them all while you nest intimate at Christ's heart near to God in Christ Jesus. With God's great salvation yours at God's Throne at the Mercyseat God looks down on in over the Ark of God's Presence in Heaven God's own mercy seat and with grace which is getting something of what you don't deserve. Imagine the God of the Universe looks down on you with Grace! His mercies never come to an end. Just by faith believing that God is right, just, Holy, good, you succeed in life through the Son of God inside Gospel made plain from Father God. Just that He has to have wrath against sin and evil and that His Son's Death is just enough to please that His wrath and as such, in other words His Indignant reparations against sin are happening against the wicked spiritually as He is demonstrating Himself in Jesus convictions of His Righteousness from Heaven and The Atonement "just" in the end unto mercy in forgiveness of your sins by penal substitution you rest in it. Those not accepting Christ have been condemned already. The Cross being an act of God not just a symbol but it's real was just enough to save, propitiate or satisfy Himself and indeed save you to the uttermost all by grace in the Holy Spirit. It's God's reality that overcomes total the glitz of this world's fleeting bloom of flower from the sun. Like the grass withers so our lives are but a vapor. The cross then was more than enough in every way to triumph over all things. It (the Cross) was more than enough in everything He is winning. Every Victory Jesus being Victor within from God's Authority gives you is a triumph God gives you to take to the bank of Heaven. Follow Jesus powerfully in the Spirit by way of planning. Read your Bible. Find within it the Living Word, Jesus, The Person of God whose Finished Work paid in full your guilt. At the cross every man stands on equal ground. Daily then rely on the outpouring freely of the Holy Spirit upon you to be a witness. "In Ephesians one and three God has given layer and layer of blessing to be an artesian well to make you grow in Jesus Christ and everything you need is in Him," says Pastor Rich Catapano. "Pray for this on bended knee," he says.
You become a vigilant Christian (not like a precarious one whose tower falls,) but like Joshua a witnessing spiritual leader strong and courageous and steady of unfading quiet spirit of beauty instantaneously like one putting aside the things of the old nature. For when you get saved God separates you from your sinful nature and even you of what you have done in sin in the flesh from before from who you now are being then, spiritually born again seeing The Lord High and Lifted up in Holiness, with His train filling the Temple, loved unconditionally by Him now so you quit sinning in large measure at the beginning of hearing the Spirit at His conviction repenting, exalting Christ. Dying to sin and self and humbling yourself under His mighty hand you behold Him and the blood of Jesus everywhere possessing your vessel in sanctified humility fleeing immorality seeking His face. If you genuinely come to Christ to God one hundred eighty degrees from where you were, you will never have to go back to your former way of life again. You can say goodbye chow to your life in the past with reference to sin. Just jump the pond (of sin) leaving anger too praising God putting Jesus Christ your Savior on as a garment from sin Savior first and Lord. You're opening your heart to behold Him anywhere everywhere walking in the Spirit to maturity into His arms in Christ's hands snatched up from flames. By faith look into His eyes of piercing love and acceptance justified. Like a brand plucked from the fire Shanks says in his book, we are. It's an about face from sin enacted pungently from Him originally and the removing by you of all sin's influences to an 'against the grain' life then on, under Christ your Rabbi Master then so you leave sinful ways, and like salmon swim upstream to spawn so you're denying yourself, taking up your cross and following Christ, within this wonderful adventurous journey life in God, losing your life most humbly to find it in God's Kingdom of grace in humble bondslave lifestyle leaving selfishness and sin behind and rather in service ministering to The Lord first adoring only Him with a singlemindness to abiding in Him and manifest in keeping with repentance as God grows you into the mature person you were meant to be increasing in the grace & knowledge of Christ & God and in the exposed light and truth made real spoken in love so live the abundant life. Seek God's face then not His hand. Seek Who He Is and Worship Him! We desperately need God for spiritual food and even without it we still need Him but for daily manna thankfully for our Source of all in all unto utmost desire we serve. The motive is from His. He gives and gives more grace.
Who you are in Him, called, chosen, and darling, beloved, promised promises to become all God wants you to be in renewed mind in the promises of Heaven so you put on the New Self which is renewed in knowledge after the Holiness and Righteousness of the truth then so you can be identified in Him in all ways near, you stand at the mirror, which is God's Word the Bible, and within it behold the perfect principles of liberty for living freely the Living Word, Jesus, God Incarnate, complete, near, and continually looking at Him blessed in our doing ready to change in transformation from faith to faith established in His Righteousness momentarily Col.2:9. We learn what it means to be a bondslave ministering unto the LORD and transformed and changed into His image. We learn to warn every man to present every man in Christ perfect complete. The Word in Ephesians Three attended to is that Christ comes in to dwell and staying and not move away making us transformed. It is a stronger word than to tent or tabernacle. Like Joshua you can remain in the Tent. "You can stand in your generation," says Pastor Rich, "like Daniel or Nehemiah, Martin Luther, Whitefield, Edwards, or Finney." This is grace wherein we stand. Sola Fida. Sola Gratia. Sola Scriptura.Tell someone and keep telling about the salvation, what you have done in accepting Christ's work on the cross as your own atonement from sin and to witness of that if you prayed for Christ to come in to save you for now is the day of salvation & share your experience of salvation so then you will be solidified and in a root system grounded in God rooted and built up in love and in established hearts. You in righteousness of Christ are helped over time and more and more sanctified as the Day approaches. As God becomes greater than you've made Him before Amazing God and that you can't box Him in you at all you will begin to submit to Him and His pleasure to please Him without and within so you show love for God genuinely by showing evidence of God's mercy to you and grace by His doing and drawing of you wooing you and your obedience to the Spirit in a love walk into God's Presence and His heart inside moment by moment and praise Who He is and of obedience to Christ's words and Him doing justly, to be loving mercy, and walking humbly with your God. Desires change. Passions become persuaded to be given up for God's Ways. Redirects in life happen. His love can't be comprehended wholly but can be fathomed in time ministered to you momentarily. Significantly and meaningfully piecemeal personally Jesus the conduit of the said love makes you feeling being loved in every detail of life. Then through it all you'll say, "I've learned to trust in Jesus and I've learned to trust in God."
Jesus said through the Apostle Paul, "There is therefore now no condemnation to them which are in Christ Jesus," for they leave the law of sin and death behind even the sinful life & they go and sin no more in desires God is intervening in constantly. "I am come that they may have life and have it more abundantly." Romans 8:1; John 10:9,10 People outside the faith are condemned already by their own consciences. They literally suppress knowledge of God to continue to practice sin (thinking life comes to an end eventually so eat, drink, and be merry is there mantra so when they die they believe it all ends and now they can "party like its 1999".) Pastor Catapano says, "Do we know with one heart we can't live without God? Whatever it takes, would to God revival broke out, wouldn't it be great?" Follow God with good men so you learn how to have a relationship with God.
"Wide is the gate that leads to destruction and many go in thereat but narrow is the gate that leads to life and few there be that find it!" Strive to enter in at that gate. I have known the Lord since the age of four and have never looked back. I am blessed! He gave me a brand new life and put a new man in my shoes. Yes there is a heaven and hell and God is good in Essence but you can be sure to shun the hell and gain the other if you're in the right road in Christ concentrating focus daily on following God's will through the Oil of Christ's Anointing of the Holy Spirit having made peace with God this way of Christ's Blood. "As for me and my house, we will serve the Lord!" Newness of life is now your living. Leaders should be the first to engage the battle from in it. Joshua was such a servant leader. Moses said Joshua came in and out before the people doing the practical things to help them and Moses the most he could do before becoming head leader. Like the King David running from Saul and gathering outcasts at Ziglag to engage fighting the Amalekites who ran off with their wives and possessions, David encouraged and strengthened Himself too in the Lord to win in life there too. If we can lower our towers enough continually God can have His plans through us is the lesson here. And even though one hundred of David's men who were too tired out cold to go up to battle to take back spoil and over all the wives and spoil taken (like his daughter in the Movie "Taken" of Leeum Niesen) so it was all recovered by the three hundred other men God used and chose to win the battle with.
Now as partaker of His Divine Nature you a believer do right and good because you are right with Him as His help helps and in most things now following after the Holy Spirit because of humbly being sustained by Him in right standing with God and this is rightness from God's will being followed in position justly merciful from the deposit of the Holy Ghost. The Holy Ghost is sealing your salvation by the Spirit in a transformed changed life you making your calling and election sure so that in this character of love it will cost you to follow Christ but your good works and character follow you to Heaven even to become second nature to you and what you undertake and want to accomplish in Him spontaneous delighting in Him your Father and His Standard (His will as laid forth in the Word of God,) He performing it through you every waking and sleeping moment through a window in His Word and is seen smiling Showing Himself strong in behalf of those whose hearts are perfect towards Him Romans 3:19,21;5:1; II Peter 1:1-6ff. Isaiah 26 says, "I (God) will perform and accomplish for you with you showing up." God wants us men and women after His heart. Eph. 2:10 says,"you are His workmanship, (Greek word poema like the word, poem) and were ordained beforehand unto good works." Stand still firmly and let's see the salvation of The Lord. Put your singers first who know the Voice of many waters (revelation 1) first sing to praise The Lord! For the battle is the Lords 2 Chronicles 20:15,21. Live your life in Him with He in you replacing you (Galatians 2:20,) for His sake becoming Christ's servant/slave. For we were bought at a Price 1 Corinthians 6:20;3:16,23, and the cross shows we must serve humanity humbly. Life is not always by a cross from on it viewed or crucified living observed but an outward expression out of the Holy Spirit within is flowing out life abundant and in overflow to be enjoyed. God's working in me God's working in you both to will and to do both to will and to do of His good pleasure! Phil. 2:13. The World's methodology is not right cause and effect but preaching the straight Jesus message is and does produce fruit. Do evangelize for, "This Gospel (Jesus lived, Died, was Buried, Rose Again,) shall be preached." You, preach.
Let me introduce myself: I'm Dave Candel from Franklin Square, N.Y. I'm a Blood-washed born again Holy Ghost filled Child of God, believe in His Bride (Jesus's) through His love the Gift of Righteousness found in God's Son, take a stand for a new standard, Christ's Holiness and righteousness & make no apologies for it. There is no shame in exalting Jesus or the Christian life. I attend church Services at an Assemblies Of God church: Bethel Assembly Of God Church from Franklin Square. I've accepted Christ as my personal Savior Master and Lord. I was four. Being all God wants me to be is a part of my calling from God I'm pursuing and attaining in God to be a minister to others and to minister to The Lord God through Christ first. As a minister of reconciliation along with colaborers being as a layman I'm loving being single and agapetotes freed up love from God to 'laleo' (Greek word for to gossip or chirp) the Gospel to my family and church family. Preach too. As well I'm a Gideon who distributes Bibles to many needy locations, and people, and am a substitute High School Teacher in the past, and have a Bachelor of Science's Degree in Chemistry with some Graduate School having worked eleven years in that field of endeavor. I like my Pastor Rich call that my junk box being counted as nothing or dung that "I might know Him." The fellowship of His sufferings, the joys of His Resurrections, are a privelege and so God's unconditional love is totally awesome. I rejoice in The Lord evermore. I witness with all of Jesus' joy to My Jesus My comfort, and shelter for He as my Rock, holds me, my high tower and shield and has become my sacrifice to Eternity and also my scapegoat to have taken my sins away!

In Salvation Newness Of Life Is The Main Effect And Is By The Blood Of Jesus!
Phillipians 2:6,7 says that Jesus was equal to God not thinking that was something to be grasped but instead He was made a servant even to death and so should we call ourselves servant though we are not God. Poinient
In the cross even the Death of Christ (He) was God in our place even at the Empty Tomb as at our Atonement on the Cross our resurrection. Christ is Risen! He's Risen indeed! Christ is Revival a movement of God and God's move to us in Revival is His Hand that will be that which will lead us to abandon fear and worry and to lay hold of abundant pardon. He removes our sin from us as far as the east is from the west. The penalty for sin is gone too. That's in Psalm 103:12. For we need our sins forgiven and most definitely need to embrace newness of life if we haven't had the pleasure nor delight yet in this life for God will answer prayer prayed for that in Jesus's Name, our New Covenant Savior, Jesus, Who we realize Died for our Salvation to save us as for He Whom "we who have fled for refuge to lay hold of the hope set before us: which we have as an anchor of the soul, a hope both sure and steadfast and entering into that which is within the veil;" "and not through the blood of goats and calves, but through His own Eternal blood, He entered the holy place once for all, having obtained eternal redemption for us. ..How much more will the blood of Christ, who through the eternal Spirit offered Himself without blemish to God, cleanse your conscience from dead works to serve the living God?" Hebrews 6:18b,19;9:17,18; 2Cor. 3.In other words our Salvation is complete. We are whole by faith and can by His grace see our sins upon that Cross as the worship in the song goes by, but oh what it took of Price in God for us to do that!
Pastor Rich says in his recent sermon, "Scripture in Galatians 3:1 asks, "Who broke in upon you to bewitch you?" "Did you receive the Spirit by the works of the Law or by the hearing of faith?"" It's a rhetorical question but the plain obvious answer is we receive by the hearing of faith. Faith has to put God, the Source, as its Object. Its not faith in faith in other words. Faith in God through Christ is very real to us. Christ in His Person and Work is the waters at the oasis of our wilderness. The Person and Work of Christ is the essence of the good real reality that would fill us with spiritually heightened sense of awareness to live an adventure with God properly by faith even good satisfaction in Christ only and starve us for every good thing supposedly this world has to offer us opposed to His goodness and holiness presuming to satisfy us which it doesn't but instead we're hating sin and sinning and hoping for a reach at Heaven Eternal on the other hand. As an Eternal itch for God passions for doing right and for God Himself Who He Is which gets us nearer to the Cross in experiencing Salvation we live in Him. We need God alone and only a greater hunger more for desiring Him, His Kingdom, and Christ's Righteousness.
Christ's Person and Work will feed our spirits with feed and fuel of real nutrition of awareness of God's Presence everywhere and at our reception of that hunger, satisfaction. His Person and Work within is His Holy will for us to know Him and confidently feeds and fuels His Desire and passions for that which are good attributes and godly in motivation as we are getting to know Him in godliness by way of sanctification. To accept Christ is to spend quality time with Him even any time with Him as the focal point of all life and receive our Salvation, even quickly determine you are in the right ballpark of the right idea of Who He is and in the right ballpark generally as well of a Biblical View of God and religion. Pray a side holster of a prayer something like this: Dear Abba Daddy, even God I confess I'm a sinner and being completely honest with your examining me and You in your Sanctification/Holiness revealed, I repent and want to be exposed to Your Searchlight in Your Word to wash me. I'm sorry for my sins and failing your Law. Confessing I'm a chiefest of sinners I want to turn from them (my sins) and repent totally. I want to turn one hundred eighty degrees from those sins and receive Christ boldly and love and serve You! I believe Jesus Died, that His victory Ultimately was very great on the cross and the resurrection very powerful and it makes me a risen person inside too, resurrected, yet crucified according to Gal. 2:20 and He's the Way, the Truth, and the Life (John 14:6.) For being our substitute on the cross I'm thankful, grateful, and content in Thee. Humbly I come to You God and accept Your Son Jesus (God's Only Begotten of God meaning Firstfruits of Resurrection,) yea Jesus my Savior and Lord over sin, death, Hell, and the grave. I acknowledge the very suffering of the Cross You endured for my complete healing and Salvation.
For it's by grace alone I'm saved to good works to perform foreordained for me before the world began. To do the greater works Christ said we would do to do also we will do. In Jesus Name, we pursue righteousness Amen. Now we should follow Him. Moment by moment deny yourself, lose your life in this world, take up your cross, and follow Him. It's a daily moment by moment surrender.
It's an inner and outer glorious life this Christian walk. It's a wonderful adventurous reality in thrills and of abundant life too. Would to God revival come and many be saved. Christ adds daily to the church such as should be saved. Character within is created by God immediately at Salvation given by Him inside to us and you're ushered into God's Kingdom for His Son translated you in by His love for you, you over time will be increasing in passion for godly things. Further God ignites these passions with His sparks of Godly fusion. Cultivating inner love for God by His placing His Holy Spirit in you we dwell with God's Presence intimately inside while we become like Him transforming from faith to faith glory to glory healing to healing strength to strength. The Holy Spirit is central to a right foundation in Christ, and being made in Christ's image is important to acknowledge because He's creating desire for Jesus's lifestyle inside us as in Hilarious Giving to God first, not just money also, but a Holy godly attitude in lifestyle, and passions for doing the right thing, attitudes, and Lordship over our check books, etc., as we learn about the right fear or reverance of Him in His Word. God gives us all one heart one mind (homotheumaden in Greek) to unify us and puts His Holy Spirit IN us. To reverence Him is to know His honor for God and/or judgment or punishment for sin. We serve with reverent fear and respect and rejoice with trembling. We work out our salvation with fear and trembling. His love changes us. For God works both to Will and to do His will. We have the possibility of pleasing the Father.
Christ left us and Ascended On High to the Throne above and when He did He sent us the Holy Spirit. The Spirit's given for convincing, conviction, and judgment of sin for equipping the Saints for service by His five fold ministry prophet, evangelist, pastor, teacher, and indwelling of Him in us that we might be where He is and be in His fire for He's the Fire and we know that He is Holy (Quidosh in Hebrew) and we be available for His use. He's our sanctuary as well. The Holy Spirit points to Christ constantly. He's got our hand in His and He keeps us. "Modern day idols have to be taken out like worry and fear," Pastor Rich says Ez. 11:10-12,13,19-21; 36:25-28. He doesn't change our personality but He does change our individuality some. By revealing God and Christ through the Holy Spirit's evidence He's giving passion from Him to do right until we reflect Jesus Christ in us being changed outwardly and inwardly even transformed into the same image from glory to glory even as by the Spirit of our Lord to be like His image 2 Cor. 3:18. He gives to us the Holy Spirit even taking away the veil of deception completely away within us ole slew foot would blind us with but God giving a soft heart. We're looking at His example with clarity even willing then momentarily and always to do His will. You can have a lot of externals without having God within so be sure you have the right Hermaneutic real yielded sparked devotion devout to Him from His Word specially being Born Again and in Christ. Being Born Again you can see and tell what the Kingdom of God should be by the Holy Spirit telling you. It's righteousness, peace, and joy in the Holy Spirit. It's the rule and reign of the Holy Spirit and Jesus and the Father in the life of the believer.
In the Word of God one sees the majority of Jesus's parables declare and show the highlighted greatness of the Kingdom of God and its thorough importance. A spark of His love for us in us will spark a mission and passion as we learn each parables main teaching. We will Get to know how to be ready for Christ's return performing and have new ability to see as He sees and loves putting our hand to the plow. Love has to be compassion connected back to Jesus Christ and thanksgiving being grateful in Him and He giving contentment for all He's doing. "God cannot be giving us Power if we do not want a Holy Character as well," my Pastor Rich Catapano says. "He can take that love of power right out of us and give us desire to be humble," He adds. Humility and being preferring other believers others-centered is always good for a right cause. Humility is being no less nor more than who God created you to be. The humble are eventually exalted and the proud are humbled. But agape love expressed humbly can give us the right amount of power in humility to lovingly fascilitate revival should God send it. Revival is written about in Campus Aflame, a great book to read. A Sovereign move God performs it is. "It's also like whipping each other forward in a roller derby when it occurs which would win a roller derby contest as a team of people and horses would win pulling in the grape harvest together. We would gather the grape of the harvest as reaching what's before us to the high calling of God and placing the grape in the basket of the Christian in front of us each by placing it next to us, cutting off the right from our right side and placing harvest grapes with the left hand in our brother's basket," my Pastor says. It's a picture of unity in diversity in bringing in the crop. Amen.
The love God has to us is redeeming in quality. His hatred for sin is seen in the severity of God's judgment for sin on the Cross. This should lead us to see how utterly wrong sin is as well as insidious is its hurt it causes. Jesus said, "For this cause I am come." Jesus is in essence crying out from all Eternity, "I'm going to make this right." If we take sin lightly in our thoughts we are in danger of crucifying the Son of God afresh. But His just cause is to bring victory where sin did its damage. Where we are aware of His love we should see the Redemption of the Cross. We who have been forgiven by God through the Blood should be thankful the penalty for our sin is gone, the punishment meted out on the Savior at Calvary. In this way we honor the Son in Saving us from sin and cautiously stay in the love of God as Jude tells us. Knowing God's love is we realize Salvation is from sin and its effects. How great is the grace that caught and rescues us. Let's give thanks with a grateful heart!
In the cross even the Death of Christ (He) was God in our place even at the Empty Tomb as at our Atonement on the Cross our resurrection. Christ is Risen! He's Risen indeed! Christ is Revival a movement of God and God's move to us in Revival is His Hand that will be that which will lead us to abandon fear and worry and to lay hold of abundant pardon.

Scripture tells how God loved us yet while we were still sinners in Christ Dying for us. I John says,"Behold what manner of love bestowed on us in being called God's child." Let's not presume on that love as a Pharisee but be as the publican humbly relaying to God, "be merciful to me a sinner." Salvation is a gift remember and we can't earn it, but when we die God's love will be consuming fire in a different sense than it is now. Shun the hell, and embrace the heart that caught and rescued us. Committedly follow The Lord Jesus Christ seeking His Kingdom and His righteousness. We don't earn points but ever seek His face to please not just obey. Keep God's love in balance with His care, Omniscience, Omnipotence, in step with the Spirit, near. Yaweh Yaweh we love to shout Your Name O Lord!! Worship Him in spirit and in truth.

Some Aspects Of God's Doing Inside Kindly Blessing Us In The Word Of God Inside Our Lives
Monday, June 4, 2012, 3:40 PM 5/24/2016 Imagine Luke in His Gospel in Chapter 15 telling as God tells, reveals, and does indeed retell rebroadcasts loud in New Covenant ministry the story of the Prodigal son returned redeemed come home which He indeed did, in partnering as he was bought back Ransomed as it was by the Father God in His Most High (El Elyon) Magnificent Majestic Love and He Father God having given to the returned Prodigal son a replacement life of inner forgiveness riches of wealth in measure at Chesed (lovingkindness) Providence of Father namely grace and peace, being the Lavish Father that He is He rejoices that His prodigal son has come home wooed by memory of goodness at home and disfavor of where he's at in status wrestling husks from pigs and hucksters and possible right standing in excellent balance in coming home to do his repenting speech so despite the elder son's talk he returns! With indiscriminate impartial love in common grace the Father prevents the prodigal son on tip toes from speaking guilt of trash talking of himself to possibly disqualify himself before the Father even in excuses (but by the way of confession of the lost son (which was a confession of not being worthy to be a servant in his father's house and much less a son in addition in his repentance) being it was enough to please the Father though, and before God the Father also in the Parable) He RUNS to the son, Pours out embraces, kisses, and Gives the forgiveness instead and profusely intently to the prodigal son tenderness from tender heart given so that the son gets hugs, a ring, sandals, weeping for joy by His Father etc. and a party given with a fattened calf by Love of our Lavish Father God for kind forgiveness in the story! FOR GOD SO LOVED THE WORLD THAT HE GAVE HIS ONLY BEGOTTEN SON THAT WHOSOEVER BELIEVES IN HIM SHOULD NOT PERISH BUT HAVE EVERLASTING LIFE. JOHN 3:16 Jesus came to the world to grant Eternal Life and on this earth Save not to judge it but to save it primarily the first time. Verse 17. The Second time will be different and we will have some fun.
The Gospel: A Coming To Christ for Salvation. How Would You Like To Or Feel Up To Relationship (not religion) Being Forgiven And Saved loving the Lord not religious, As Becoming An Intimate Friend Of God And Alive to God So Much It Hurts in An Abundant Life In Christ, Accepting Adoption Into God's Family, a Fellowship with God by responding to God's gracious invitation to Salvation In Christ From Him in His Word the Bible for This The Zoe Life (God-kind Life) in The Preparation For And Expectation of an Ethereal After-Life Existence Someday In Heaven in new bodies in confirmed righteousness? I have decided to repent of sinful ways and all sin I know that is in me and have then followed Christ in and by my life. By the Holy Spirit I'm made whole. A wretch though I was God has Saved me. Confession is not a work but instead it's a very tonguely and hunger desire attitude for devout before God lifestyle means to be honest before God in truth in God's eye. It's an invitation to let God be God, search me and know me, try me, and adjust and correct, and lead me in the way everlasting and repenting in the way, as well if one hasn't. Have you been raised in the faith like I and found Christ at some time and Father's plan as in Isaiah 63 and 64? Being raised in the faith did not save me at four but making a decision to accept Christ as my own Savior and Lord by the Spirit and in God's will to follow through in time with it in living in and for Him consistently has. I didn't need man's help for this.
Is your aim at Heaven? Are you growing nonholy or are you hot?! Do you know He loves you respectfully and it's His Will for you to be holy, you to be white hot on fire not just lukewarm? He wants to make you shine bright. Do you know Salvation involves discipleship to fully realize all of it and that God's plan is for you and is in His love and by faith in God it cannot be thwarted? Amen. Don't renounce Him any but confess Him everywhere like sounding an alarm before you warning and crying out, "He's Risen" by your life and life's good news for He feels what we're going through. Love is not real until it's tested. His testing takes place while He is quiet in the discipleship way affirming and greatly encouraging us and is to be resulting in faith-filled lives abundantly lived along every way in this life spending Eternal time with God meaning really being with Him all the time and with Jesus specially whatever may befall and is for us to be developing in being a disciple and in being like Christ and aware of God's working within to will and to do His good pleasure. We're being cemented in a Blood Relationship Covenant in His Son with the Promises granted (someday), as the goal in Him. This is all by the Spirit being put in us Ezekiel 37:14; Acts1:8.
I'm saved in bold assurance even confident in His hand knowing He's good and is a good good Father like the Chris Tomlin song goes! I came to Christ and knelt humbly and prostrated myself before Him in worship and by God's grace which is power to keep you I was Saved from sin as Jesu s is Lord patiently He came inside and I obediently accepted "IN you" in confident assurance meaning FORGIVENESS of God!!! Do you not know this in your life? Let our response be to make Him Lord, Savior. Deny yourself, take up your cross, and follow Christ. And follow through with you surrendering, with Jesus sanctifying helping, daily on the Altar of God on which you are placing you a living sacrifice laid bound to the altar bound by grace, mercy, and love chords. Daily we want to prepare to seek Him today specially in hearing His Voice from Him on Heaven's Temple's Throne and you spiritually alive in obedience with a look to fulfillment of that said obedience with appointment to be watchmen and sounding the alarm and warning before and around you everywhere you go, specially seeing Him today intently and in light and in Heaven someday Romans 12:1; 6:11-13?
Do you see Him in your days alive working moving? Is He working even moving inside you with alive indeed living motions alive shoulder to shoulder help and alive in you and living through you even as along side you? Is He in you mightily replacing your old ways with His Salvation truckload of facts of effects as you're receiving blessing from His doing now that you are saved? Is His love meaning more to you than this world of sin truly? Do you know to what extent God went through to He sending His beloved Son actually to be Dying on a Cross and Risen Again for you? He goes through His wallet full of photos extensively to show through His action figure in time (Christ in time and Eternity) to us His mankind: How He loves us so very much individually and each of us in this wonderful lavish almighty unconditional personally satisfying edifying uniquely expressing-His-image-to-each individual-as-if-He-the-only-one-to-us-sending Divine/human (Jesus is called the son of man,) love in Redemption? He was 100% God and 100% man. As son of man He's Messiah. We must appropiate for ourselves that love in all its facets of a diamond embracing in Salvation ourselves as one for whom Christ Died for whom Christ won Eternal life specially beseeching for us to come to Him, He came for us and a 'Dying. Think how glistening a diamond is and its facets glamorous. It was my sin that indeed killed Him. We are blessed to receive Salvation. Can we not indeed be broken together and open and talk about this? Read Isaiah 61. It's about being broken by God and He living a replaced life in us to rebuild, raise up, and repair through us. God will clothe in celebration of that tri-fold task and in His wedding garments of Salvation bedeck us even with jewels, a robe of God's Righteousness symbolically and really. It was for me He Died, and He offers forgiveness and newness of life and what about you? Who do you see, Jesus to really be? Does He save, keep, and satisfy? Indeed more to be desired is He in His Laws than gold, yea much fine gold, sweeter also than honey, and honey from the honeycomb. He makes His invitation to come to Him for us complete in time and we respond in kind in His way and in a timely fashion. We come to the Cross for the flesh to die.
So do you believe God would do all that? Save us who believe in the Son? The demons also believe in God and tremble. He'd like to personally treat you to knowing (ya da in Hebrew, know) Him in a Covenant relationship that saves from hell, death, sin, and the grave or fear of death and worry delivers from a sinful lifstyle and habit to the uttermost and He sanctifies as well. And He, liking you too like Father God did His own Son, and finding you (as He did Abraham, Moses, or the Apostle Paul) in re-creation of you in Born Again Salvation and in giving you such a transformed abundant justified changed life from the heart now as they had on earth and indeed in Heaven perfected aimed for will until the day perfected continue it. For God is an impartial God and and Divine Healer Being Who longs to be our Father this colorful adventurous way meaning similarly giving each of us individually a bent on Calvary's Cross to die for but no carbon copy are we to each one of us is given to become like Holy but to each to be knowable by different grace than what this world knows and through faith in God is stamping out a tupos (image in Greek) of Christ in people who are His because these people honored Him and He showed up. There was prosperity in Biblical characters too but not without revival in the heart like we're used to in New Covenant living in Jesus sitting in the Heavenlies too for the adventure took them everywhere and every which way but loose as they little expected. They expected the Voice of God though through the Holy Spirit coming upon them.
For love from God changes us! We're not earning anything as far as love goes from God but justly walking in Him trying to please Him one inch at a time daily. Making ourselves available for His interventions in daily tasks we approach to appeal to our Father even ask Him for specific answers as to what we are to do. We can plan for the future but not by worry or stressing. One step at a time He expresses His glory as we glorify Him, and leads His dear children along. 'I shall not want," for the Lord is my Shepherd. Still waters and lush green pasture is there to feed. Though we go through the valley of the shadow of death we shall fear no evil. Making the sorrowing weeping place of lack or loss a well of springs bursting through in joy we're like trees clapping in their effect to show joy Is. 55:12. Blessing from God is the God given capacity to receive in a ministering way what God is doing, working in you and ministering to you, appreciating in that receiving to the full.
The Gospel: A Coming To Christ for Salvation. How Would You Like To Or Feel Up To Relationship (not religion) Being Forgiven And Saved loving the Lord not religious, As Becoming An Intimate Friend Of God And Alive to God So Much It Hurts in An Abundant Life In Christ, Accepting Adoption Into God's Family, a Fellowship with God by responding to God's gracious invitation to Salvation In Christ From Him in His Word the Bible for This The Zoe Life (God-kind Life) in The Preparation For And Expectation of an Ethereal After-Life Existence Someday In Heaven in new bodies in confirmed righteousness? I have decided to repent of sinful ways and all sin I know that is in me and have then followed Christ in and by my life. By the Holy Spirit I'm made whole. A wretch though I was God has Saved me. Confession is not a work but instead it's a very tonguely and hunger desire attitude for devout before God lifestyle means to be honest before God in truth in God's eye. It's an invitation to let God be God, search me and know me, try me, and adjust and correct, and lead me in the way everlasting and repenting in the way, as well if one hasn't. Have you been raised in the faith like I and found Christ at some time and Father's plan as in Isaiah 63 and 64? Being raised in the faith did not save me at four but making a decision to accept Christ as my own Savior and Lord by the Spirit and in God's will to follow through in time with it in living in and for Him consistently has. I didn't need man's help for this.
Is your aim at Heaven? Are you growing nonholy or are you hot?! Do you know He loves you respectfully and it's His Will for you to be holy, you to be white hot on fire not just lukewarm? He wants to make you shine bright. Do you know Salvation involves discipleship to fully realize all of it and that God's plan is for you and is in His love and by faith in God it cannot be thwarted? Amen. Don't renounce Him any but confess Him everywhere like sounding an alarm before you warning and crying out, "He's Risen" by your life and life's good news for He feels what we're going through. Love is not real until it's tested. His testing takes place while He is quiet in the discipleship way affirming and greatly encouraging us and is to be resulting in faith-filled lives abundantly lived along every way in this life spending Eternal time with God meaning really being with Him all the time and with Jesus specially whatever may befall and is for us to be developing in being a disciple and in being like Christ and aware of God's working within to will and to do His good pleasure. We're being cemented in a Blood Relationship Covenant in His Son with the Promises granted (someday), as the goal in Him. This is all by the Spirit being put in us Ezekiel 37:14; Acts1:8.
I'm saved in bold assurance even confident in His hand knowing He's good and is a good good Father like the Chris Tomlin song goes! I came to Christ and knelt humbly and prostrated myself before Him in worship and by God's grace which is power to keep you I was Saved from sin as Jesu s is Lord patiently He came inside and I obediently accepted "IN you" in confident assurance meaning FORGIVENESS of God!!! Do you not know this in your life? Let our response be to make Him Lord, Savior. Deny yourself, take up your cross, and follow Christ. And follow through with you surrendering, with Jesus sanctifying helping, daily on the Altar of God on which you are placing you a living sacrifice laid bound to the altar bound by grace, mercy, and love chords. Daily we want to prepare to seek Him today specially in hearing His Voice from Him on Heaven's Temple's Throne and you spiritually alive in obedience with a look to fulfillment of that said obedience with appointment to be watchmen and sounding the alarm and warning before and around you everywhere you go, specially seeing Him today intently and in light and in Heaven someday Romans 12:1; 6:11-13?
Do you see Him in your days alive working moving? Is He working even moving inside you with alive indeed living motions alive shoulder to shoulder help and alive in you and living through you even as along side you? Is He in you mightily replacing your old ways with His Salvation truckload of facts of effects as you're receiving blessing from His doing now that you are saved? Is His love meaning more to you than this world of sin truly? Do you know to what extent God went through to He sending His beloved Son actually to be Dying on a Cross and Risen Again for you?

When Trials Turn to Gold Hope In Christ and Faith In the Lord is purified pure and Holy From The Penalty of sin, and the power of sin.
="on">
Let's actively seek the Lord call upon Him and cry to Him while He may be found earnestly for abstinence from sin and yielding to the Holy Spirit while 'yield not to temptation' is obeyed occurs because to Jesus we surrender even when we get tempted tested or even "devil or demon horde intimidated," or yet afflicted oppressed by a hapless helpless 'seeking whom he may devour' toothless mangy ole lion or even a little minion of his that is suffering decay nonetheless who are no match for Aslan Who is Jesus, the Lion of the Tribe of Judah Who we spend quality time with further in and further up in the Kingdom of God, as C.S. Lewis says, as we succeed in following after the Spirit. We win. We who are always led in triumph or triumphant array by Him and are hupernikao or more than conquerors through Him Who loved us if we're In Christ after the Spirit 24/7 presenting ourselves as we are to Him are appointed watchmen on the wall. Because sometimes all it takes is whispers from King Jesus or a line from The Screwtape Letters by C.S. Lewis or a God-Theopneustos Inspired Scripture verse excelsior to help all of 'that' 'Ming' trouble with tempts. Right here in River City there is sinning ergo trouble going on. The Lord lifts up a Standard against this sinning tide. Sometimes like Dietrich Bonhoffer we are offered cake to write down names on paper for betrayal of brethren hanging in the balance who are in trials of their own but we refuse forbidden by God to disloyal be. We Brethren are strengthened in Gathering Together in Jesus's Name in Holy hordes!! 1 Peter 1:22 says "Having purified your souls by your obedience to the truth for a sincere brotherly love, love one another earnestly from a pure heart." The faith of some bears great fruit even of repentance unto Eternal Life. That faith follow. Knowing we died and were raised with Him and yes Christ is victorious in us overcoming the world and it's all genuine faith if it's God's actual help by intervention supernaturally and no thing we actually prosper from naturally, but Eternally obtain an inheritance and heritage imperishable undefined and unfading, then we know we go through testing victorious through Him. Grace abounds where sin once did. We are from faith to faith glory to glory growing in awareness alertly of Christ's Righteousness within and expressed out of us also. We hold to our confidence boldly. We do good like Eph. 2:10, and as a result intercede for the Salvation of others on the harvest on a small mountain like Hur and Aaron lifting Moses' hands while others fight in the valley below mopping up. Effectual fervent prayer for healing or salvation yields much so ask being seated in Heavenly places in Christ Jesus (Eph. 2:6) from that vantage point clothed in the robe of Christ's Righteousness in Him and garments of Salvation in Him Isaiah 61:10. Let's be a righteous man or woman praying with fervency and disciple other Families ministering in love and loving labor so Hebrews 6:10 gets a boost. Let's attract other people to Christ as Savior and to follow Him, Lord. When we following through in that, seek just God's Presence not His glory we gain spiritual high ground in a most unconscious way but not by knowing identity of said demons in every air's breath but if it means a soul saved yeah pour on the pneumatic air. The Holy Spirit filling us to fullness is enough. Satan is a defeated foe and he has his head crushed yes demolished by our Lord at Calvary. With a display of defeat in parading him and vanquishing him on video of Eternal film Satan's key to power was destroyed yes shamed by God. Godliness with contentment is great gain in Christ's cause and having right motives and seeing loved one's return to God priceless. Desire is filling as God gives right motive. "I'm being convicted & convinced that "secret service" is more powerful in helping (sometimes) than making sure our light is being seen (If light is needed then shine light bright enough though and be the light, accomplishing everything in love.- dc, but do nothing by bragging.) I believe our works then become spiritual and God takes them and uses them for His glory and our (Body of Christ's) good. Not needing to be seen or known. Definitely a heart issue and that's the realm only God can judge and why Paul was transparent in saying that he didn't even judge himself..." - Quote is from Severe Mercy. Hebrews 6:10. Psalms 37:1-3; I peter 1:22. Scripture DC.

My story In His Story! Testifying and Tell Them! Laleo
The Son Who is in the bosom of the Father, the Father has declared Him. When I surrendered onto the Life-preserver of the Gospel Ship of which Christ was my Captain I was Saved even of a Salvation as a sinner Saved or a son or daughter of His, friend, asking to be a slave of Christ at an Altar in church and made Him Lord I knew this word from Him would be tested and life in the Lord would not be an easy problem-free Cross. The Cross never is easy though it has its comfort in knowing it was for me He Died. Self has to be defeated until revived life and consciousness is all His, alive to Him and we are His: He's Lord. The path of God's forgiveness is deeper than the sea inside and precious in Christ's path in you the hope of glory in the timetable of this life and it's effect is quietness and confidence but strewn with those that don't make it, casualties of invisible war as well that are shipwreck for lack of obedience but then also there are those who are overcomers (hupernikao Greek for more than conquerors: overcomers Romans 8:37) in our Lord's army, disciples. These are folk who are alive to God through being made alive through the Spirit to New Testament Promises. In their consciences bound to God yet free to obey: they are those with stable backbone, rescued by our Lord, Ransomed, Born Again, living for the Lord who want to see Eternity in their mortal living constantly and yet more consistently too. They do battle on their knees fight the good fight like men and struggling to see loved ones enter the Kingdom of Heaven. It would not cease to solve every one of my problems as I knew this Gospel of God's Good News when I came to Christ much earlier as a child of four to take the winning side at God's plan. But safely by His grace I came to Bethel Assembly of God and knelt at four and knew inside I would lay low the enemy of my soul like our Lord has led by His Spirit if I became a Blood Washed Born Again Child Of God Christian testifying witness to Him through His lentil and door posts crossed by my Saviors Blood through His mercy to myself, Salvation. I made mental assent to Christ as Savior and continued to follow through as a child. My godly parents gave me a grand and great hand of "hand up" tool box functioning and head start in life as to they being dynamic examples of heritage in legacy passing on what it means to be a Born Again Christian living Holy for Christ's Coming preparing to begin ready and/or be ready. I really knew that I knew I was saved. I made the decision to confess I'm a sinner as then I a child in my Mom's Toddler Junior class at Church. My public and personal life in school until college was kept socially active by school attendance (mechanical structure) and Church Worship of God and even Familial nurture coming to and at me on the calendar year to grow me. I even had a Mechanical Drawing professor in class in High School years for six years with a gentlemanly Luthren teacher. It was through these tight places of thilipses breathers came if you will affirming God's work in me, as is the Greek word for that convex condition we all find ourselves in at times of troubles and difficulties in getting past a point and through that vertex of struggle tunneling through He gave me a spirit of victory from Jesus my Savior that Great Shepherd of the Sheep and in His Word in overcoming sin and difficult circumstances honoring Christ and God public in all things about which the world at that time which consisted of fellow students unsaved associates at public school and Church families could observe in, about me. But God's Spirit inside prevailing over me drew me to faith filled living He dwelling in me and living through me enables my life in our Lord planting in me His seed of the Word of God to know with an anointing. Just abiding in Him, Jesus Christ, is the Source and means to grow in God like a branch holds to a vine to live. The Lord is the sap and reality to be laid hold of (paralambano in Greek) Who is that great object to our faith Who is involved deeply in the struggle to live after the Spirit successfully even as by our God Elohim Adonai. The struggle was just the irritation in the oyster of my life to help The Pearl Of Great Price, Jesus Christ grow within me large in my heart. Any success whether outwardly, inwardly, or occupationally has been and will be obedience to Lord Jesus and to the glory of our LORD. Amen.I found a pearl, it was too big to carry,Why do I feel I shouldn’t tarry?Too soon I did bring some friends to see,To them the pearl - just a silly mystery.I should have dug deeper all around its sides,For they couldn’t see the beauty in its disguise.So vast is the meadow to get to it,But I found a shortcut and long do I sit.We talk there a lot, as I dig in the sandIt will forever be too large for my hand.But oh what it does to my heart and soul,Working at the dirt on my own with the Lord.When after a season tears of toiling and deep pain,My pearl more visible, Jesus says its spiritual gain.Nothing can replace it, so large in my thoughts,As large as in Revelation, 1,500 miles is a lot.I was led to that pearl, and at first I didn’t seeWhy it needs to remain forever too big for me.

THE DRAWING OF US BY GOD'S UNFAILING KIND EVERLASTING LOVE IN KINDNESS!!!
Monday, June 4, 2012, 3:40 PM 5/21/2016 Imagine Luke 15 telling as God tells and does retell indeed rebroadcast loud the story of the Prodigal son returned redeemed as he came home which He indeed did, in partnering bought back Ransomed as it was by the Father God in His Most High (El Elyon) Magnificent Majestic Love and He having given a replacement life of inner forgiveness wealth in measure at Providence namely grace and peace, being the Lavish Father that He is He rejoices that His prodigal son has come home wooed by memory of goodness at home and favor in status or right standing in excellent balance to do so despite the elder son's talk he returns! With indiscriminate love in common grace the Father prevents the prodigal son on tip toes from speaking guilt of trash talking of himself to possibly disqualify himself before the Father even in excuses (but by the way of confession of the lost son being it was enough to please the Father though, and before God the Father also in the Parable) He Pours out, Gives the forgiveness instead and profusely intently to the prodigal son tenderness from tender heart given so that the son gets hugs, a ring, sandals, weeping for joy by His Father etc. and a party given with a fattened calf by Love of our Lavish Father God for kind forgiveness in the story! FOR GOD SO LOVED THE WORLD THAT HE GAVE HIS ONLY BEGOTTEN SON THAT WHOSOEVER BELIEVES IN HIM SHOULD NOT PERISH BUT HAVE EVERLASTING LIFE. JOHN 3:16 Jesus came to the world to grant Eternal Life and on this earth Save not to judge it but to save it primarily the first time. Verse 17. The Second time will be different and we will have some fun.
The Gospel: A Coming To Christ for Salvation. How Would You Like To Or Feel Up To Relationship (not religion) Being Forgiven And Saved As Becoming An Intimate Friend Of God And Alive to God So Much It Hurts in An Abundant Life In Christ, Accepting Adoption Into God's Family, a Fellowship with God by responding to God's gracious invitation to Salvation In Christ From Him in His Word the Bible for This The Zoe Life (God-kind) in The Preparation For And Expectation of an Ethereal After-Life Existence Someday In Heaven in new bodies? I have decided to repent of sinful ways and all sin I know that is in me and have then followed Christ in and by my life. By the Holy Spirit I'm made whole. A wretch though I was God has Saved me. Confession is not a work but instead it's a very tonguely and hungry lifestyle means to be honest before God in truth in God's eye. It's an invitation to let God be God, search me and know me, try me, and adjust and correct, and lead me in the way everlasting and repenting in the way, as well if one hasn't. Have you been raised in the faith like I and found Christ at some time but later than I or perhaps before, it doesn't matter. Being raised in the faith did not save me at four but making a decision to accept Christ as my own Savior and Lord by the Spirit and in follow through in living in and for Him consistently has. I didn't need man's help for this.
Is your aim at Heaven? Are you growing nonholy or are you hot?! Do you know He loves you respectfully and it's His Will for you to be holy, you to be hot like white hot on fire not just lukewarm? He wants to make you shine bright. Do you know Salvation involves discipleship to fully realize all of it and that God's plan is for you and is in His love and by faith in God it cannot be thwarted? Amen. Don't renounce Him any but confess Him everywhere like sounding an alarm before you warning and crying out, "He's Risen" by your life and life's good news. Love is not real until it's tested. His testing takes place while He is quiet in the discipleship way affirming and greatly encouraging us and is to be resulting in faith-filled lives abundantly lived along every way in this life spending Eternal time with God meaning really being with Him all the time and with Jesus specially whatever may befall and is for us to be developing in being a disciple and in being like Christ and aware of God's working within to will and to do His good pleasure. We're being cemented in a Blood Relationship Covenant in His Son with the Promises granted (someday), as the goal in Him. This is all by the Spirit being put in us Ezekiel 37:14; Acts1:8.
I'm saved in bold assurance even confidence in His hand knowing He's good and is a good good Father like the Chris Tomlin song goes! I came to Christ and knelt humbly and prostrated myself before Him in worship and by God's grace which is power to keep you I was Saved from sin as Jesus is Lord patiently He came inside and I obediently accepted "IN you" in confidence meaning FORGIVENESS of God!!! Do you not know this in your life? Let our response be to make Him Lord, Savior. Deny yourself, take up your cross, and follow Christ. And follow through with you surrendering, with Jesus sanctifying helping, daily on the Altar of God on which you are placing you a living sacrifice laid bound to the altar bound by grace, mercy, and love chords. Daily we want to prepare to seek Him today specially in hearing His Voice from Him on Heaven's Temple's Throne and you spiritually alive in obedience with a look to fulfillment of that said obedience with appointment to be watchmen and sounding the alarm and warning before and around you everywhere you go, specially seeing Him today intently and in light and in Heaven someday Romans 12:1; 6:11-13?
Do you see Him in your days alive working moving? Is He working even moving inside you with alive indeed living motions alive shoulder to shoulder help and alive in you and living through you even as along side you? Is He in you mightily replacing your old ways with His Salvation truckload of facts of effects as you're receiving blessing from His doing now that you are saved? Is His love meaning more to you than this world of sin truly? Do you know to what extent God went through to He sending His beloved Son actually to be Dying on a Cross and Risen Again for you? He goes through His wallet full of photos extensively to show through His action figure in time (Christ in time and Eternity) to us His mankind: How He loves us so very much individually and each of us in this wonderful lavish almighty unconditional personally satisfying edifying uniquely expressing-His-image-to-each individual-as-if-He-the-only-one-to-us-sending Divine/human (Jesus is called the son of man,) love in Redemption? He was 100% God and 100% man. As son of man He's Messiah. We must appropiate for ourselves that love in all its facets of a diamond embracing in Salvation ourselves as one for whom Christ Died for whom Christ won Eternal life specially beseeching for us to come to Him, He came for us and a 'Dying. Think how glistening a diamond is and its facets glamorous. It was my sin that indeed killed Him. We are blessed to receive Salvation. Can we not indeed be broken together and open and talk about this? Read Isaiah 61. It's about being broken by God and He living a replaced life in us to rebuild, raise up, and repair through us. God will clothe in celebration of that tri-fold task and in His wedding garments of Salvation bedeck us even with jewels, a robe of God's Righteousness symbolically and really. It was for me He Died, and He offers forgiveness and newness of life and what about you? Who do you see, Jesus to really be? Does He save, keep, and satisfy? Indeed more to be desired is He in His Laws than gold, yea much fine gold, sweeter also than honey, and honey from the honeycomb. He makes His invitation to come to Him for us complete in time and we respond in kind in His way and in a timely fashion. We come to the Cross for the flesh to die.
So do you believe God would do all that? Save us who believe in the Son? The demons also believe in God and tremble. He'd like to personally treat you to knowing (ya da in Hebrew, know) Him in a Covenant relationship that saves from hell, death, sin, and the grave or fear of death and worry delivers from a sinful lifstyle and habit to the uttermost and He sanctifies as well. And He, liking you too and finding you (as He did Abraham, Moses, or the Apostle Paul) in re-creation of you in Born Again Salvation and giving you such a transformed abundant justified changed life from the heart now as they had on earth and indeed in Heaven perfected aimed for? For God is a personal God and and Divine Being Who longs to be our Father this way meaning similarly giving each of us individually a bent on Calvary's Cross to die but no carbon copy to each one of us is given to become like but to each to be knowable by different grace than what this world knows and through faith God is stamping out a tupos (image in Greek) of Christ in people who are His because these people honored Him and He showed up. There was prosperity in Biblical characters too but not without revival in the heart like we're used to in New Covenant living in Jesus sitting in the Heavenlies too for the adventure took them everywhere and every which way but loose as they little expected. They expected the Voice of God though through the Holy Spirit coming upon.
For love from God changes us! We're not earning anything as far as love goes from God but justly walking in Him trying to please Him one inch at a time daily. Making ourselves available for His interventions in daily tasks we approach to appeal to our Father even ask Him for specific answers as to what we are to do. We can plan for the future but not by worry or stressing. One step at a time He leads His dear children along. 'I shall not want," for the Lord is my Shepherd. Still waters and lush green pasture is there to feed. Though we go through the valley of the shadow of death we shall fear no evil. Making the sorrowing weeping place of lack or loss a well of springs bursting through in joy we're like trees clapping.
Love of God does not disqualify anyone nor give up on you as anyone nor does it not disregard the small of our back as it engages, grips us even our heart as we are cared for concernedly by Him and watched over by Him even as a nurse, we, practicing humility before Him alone when looking at the forest for all the trees in His hand thou Jacob son of Israel (Messianic Jews) and Body of our Lord are blessed Hebrews 6:10. Our God is not too small. He's a Jewish Jesus. He knows us all by name and sees everything. Nothing is a secret to Him. He calls us by our first name also like He did to Mary at the Empty Tomb. He's familiar and acquainted with all our paths and ways and He scrutinizes our path Psalm 139:1-3 He promises to us as an overcomer, a stone written with a name written on it known only to its owner Given to us as overcomers, individual believers in Him Revelations 2:17. Even like Cheers, the comedy TV show God knows us familiarly but He remains Holy. He sees us through the lens of His Son's Righteousness. Like a weaned child we can be before Him, satisfied! Content! He is to be feared before, trembled before, and reveranced, even with rejoicing. Even to the very hairs on our head numbered He knows intimately the name HE calls us by! He loves us even while we were still sinners of His plan. But He changes us not leaving us unformed.
Like a nursing Mother will not forget her nursing child so He has us in His arms held tight and won't forget us Isaiah 49:14,15. Listen to a song, Just Be Held by Casting Crowns and Beautiful by MercyMe. If He knows the name of every star that is then He surely knows us inside and out and upside and down and by implying reference in astronomy. He knows the intricate makeup of every cell in us well. In each atom in each cell He is the glue by which all things hold together. In Him all atoms hold together. He saw us being knit together in our Mother's womb and He knew every one of our days being knit or formed together (cite Jeremiah chapter one and Psalm 139,) before any of them came to exist. And He loves us mightily STRONG in DYING ON THE CROSS. God is pro-life. You see God became one of us, a human, a man. God visited mankind and dwelt among us and showed us what He is like: that He is good, holy, merciful, kind, and redeemed us, bought us back from slavery to sin and we are not our own. Really! God wants a personal knowing of you in return and the reciprocity of continuing to know Him enduring to the end. But to do that for everyone He Died on Calvary so personally He without having invading our will with He searching in us is let by us into your conscience by introspection and examination to place His Son's Blood in you and He will save us if we let Him. But in introspected examination searching yourself are you building up one another and is He helping build a House for God with you (Temple for the Holy Spirit) of obedient response to His call and coming of you in returning to Him (Isaiah 55:1-11)? If so there is Heavenly gold in this. In I Corinthians three, the Bema Seat here describes the good works we do in our Lord and this is a judgment Of goodness not for sin. We're not talking abundance of material things here either in coming to Him on earth and/or in the reward's crown(s) of the Bema, nor complete answers to problems we may engage in nor meat and drink imbibing but of the heart, His Presence a problem solver Savior, our devotion to Christ, adoration in the little crevices and heart beat of our soul in intimacy with Him in the Kingdom of God in salvation, in the Name and Adventure walking worthy of His calling in a very little and obedient for receiving even dwelling in the Holy Spirit! God is no respecter of persons. He will reward anybody who is faithful who is having faith in Him becoming alive to God through Jesus's Blood in the Kingdom which is the reason for our existence: righteousness, peace, and joy, in the Holy Spirit. Be caring for the weightier matters of the law such as justice, peace, mercy, and faithfulness being Born Again Mt. 23,24,25; Romans 13,14; Hebrews 11:1, Now faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen. Without faith it is impossible to please Him for He that comes to God must believe that He is and is a rewarder of them that dilligently seek Him! Faith is not faith in faith at all but in a godly place leaning depending on God YAWEH Elohim Adonai El Shaddai where God is. In Salvation we are hid with Christ in God. He's our point of contact. Our faith touches His fingers and even His heart.
After our heart life devotion and spirit's pardon in Salvation God longs after us to have a perfected spirit in us in Christ not like the Pharisees who majored in minors like washings, offerings, and fastings. We need to reverence Him instead of observing by focusing in Pharisaical behavior of one another observed among our associates at Bethel Assembly. But instead be fervent in loving especially our allegiance/availability to Him is to become reversed from this world and in the Spirit replaced by Christ's righteousness intact back to His Presence as we approach Him and focus on what HE gives. From being forgiven by God fact is we draw from the wells of Salvation joyful. He's earned a place in our heart of daily honor & devotion approaching falling in love with Him, as He, Himself loved us first and for our love shown Him He rescued us at Calvary as He did in sending His only Son two thousand years before to buy us back He Ransoms us and reveals to us His Real life Divine calling to Save and live replaced life IN US. His reality is Heaven and on His Throne, He's our Rock to found your edifice on and foundation as He wants us in relationship to Himself and in love in this relationship in fellowship strongly furthering His Kingdom as His childlike children specially attending Church (hint, here is mine: Bethel Assembly,) and enjoying everyone’s individual personality in His Body of believers! The diversity of believer's ethnic origins of nations in individuals is great in Christ's Body. He's created such a tex mix. He doesn’t like us at a distance but near because spiritually pride is sin to us and any haughtiness indeed does hurt even communication vertically first and horizontally if He looks down on us and sees no faith obedience in faith-filled life. But we still draw near to Him and His Presence boldly by the Blood making our confession. Also we want to be childlike not childish because there is a difference. A wise man such (Walter Beuttler,) has said in order for God to do 'That' something for us, He has to do something with us, so that He can do something to us! God was in the cross reconciling men to Himself. God allows us the faith to believe present active subjunctive which is a reasoned response to Finished Work of Christ on the Cross to bring us into zeal for His House! Jesus said, "Zeal for Your House Father has eaten me up." Do you have His Gift of Salvation and giftings to contribute to the common good of believers and do you follow Christ to obey His commands so much it hurts?
Do you recognize He gives you faith to believe as His Creation present active indicative in most verses mentioned in the Word which is a verb tense of belief and to believe and keep on believing? And that He loves you as Daddy (not especially a spoiling daddy,) but in believing on Him as Source, or Provision (supply?) and a good good Father in everything He gives! This special love He loves you with is for caring at the unique person you are and creation He made you in closeness and raven care by observing the birds even because it is concern-ed love by God our good Father Abba Papa and Who is Savior to you because He chooses to love you making you free a sovereign to choose Jesus Christ with an abandonment to your free will dynamic thus to love Him of importance utmost and you remain sovereign under Lordship to Christ. Freedom is not always a safe thing thus but it can be safe if it's I and You and me is I and God is You and not 'Him and I.' It becomes eternally 'edge of the ledge' dangerous if you do not however take in the whole counsel of the Word of God to be saved in fellowship relationship to God and not necessarily 'religious religion' "finding you."
This is because hearing God and not obeying Him is like witchcraft and rebellion. But He gives more grace. But the secret to better living greater than modern sexual freedom of this world's twisted thinking controlled by Satan and or sensuality in us as well is in love Agapeon for God expressed in faith believing or receiving changing by Him and/or responding to God's kind of love for us and in not holding any sour thoughts to this in the grace of God in this realm but praising, loving, worshipping, serving Him, not failing to find grace always in every way and path you walk in Him. Grace is for obedience to be salt and light to change the world even our world around us. Consider God’s Revelation of Himself in of all books, the Bible and Isaiah! He demands we not be dishes He uses who weep and cry but instead be priests and ministers. Chapter 61 of Isaiah gives us empowerment to have everlasting joy and celebration for ashes and rending of our clothing. But if we use our will to choose to decide for Him in Salvation and choose Him in His Presence within inside always we will have assurances for no choice is eternal destruction but instead we will wear a garment of Salvation!! 'He wants to encourage us to have a job, a ministry. It may be long term or short," as our Pastor says. Eternal Destiny is at stake if we need Salvation too! Really! Jesus, His Life, Death, Burial, and Resurrection is key! Rejoice greatly in the Lord! We hold no other Salvation than Atonement through Christ's Blood over sin and all it's wreck to change us. Hell will be death working backwards in fire's lake conscious and regrets awaits this for those on the fence who have not chosen Christ. Freedom from sin this day He promises you in your getting saved coming to Him weary from heavy labor on your back and becoming His. Gone all my sins are gone! Come to Jesus Christ seeing the Promises becoming a work in progress in getting to know Him for the rest of your life passively from His work at the Cross within in your heart: actively for working this out is to will to do and will His good pleasure with a godly pursuit actively in finite yoked-to-Jesus spurts moment by moment adventure of knowing Him by Divine Nature and Love for Him opening up to His Will in His Majesty and Magnificence!
What would it take for you to believe Him, to show this faith and love increasingly for or towards our Jehovah God in this Christian life we call Salvation in relationship? YES, Oh How He loves you greatly in the Son. And yes our seeming control of things in life is an illusion. We can surrender control to God or choose money in this world's system to seeming have control. Jesus said, "You can't serve both God and mammon." Will you choose surrender to Christ's will? Do you realize serving money systems is a dead end? That is how not to have an object to your faith. But decide to choose God as faith's object and not faith in faith! Make Jesus God and Lord. It matters because the object of faith is for faith to have its root to become God so stay with that aspect not clinging so tightly to material possessions but abiding through Christ Jesus gently meekly but strongingly laying hold of He Who is our Fortress and High Tower saving us present tense in Eternal time as well. Christ Himself makes peace between us and God and has this He has Done through His work on the cross of His shed Blood and earthly life in Perfection and His is a Perfect Sacrifice to propitiate (Satisfying to God well for sin,) or Atone for to make a person's faith's decision to believe GOD to save us being justified from sin (past, present, and future,) which is the only choice for real Godly life unto a rightness from Him. It is Christ we live for through appropriation of Him to a relationship to God BY THE SON’s Finished Work applied to us. Just as an animal was chosen for sacrifice in olden days for its perfection from defect and perfect age seen by children precious to give to the priest for Atonement so the Innocent Lamb of God, Jesus Died for your sins as perfect Sacrifice for Justice before a Merciful Holy God. That little lamb couldn't 'cut the mustard,' but Christ DID! Jesus is your great High Priest correction our Great High Priest purging our conscience for rooted forgiveness inside and by His Word sprinkling our hearts from an evil conscience and cleansing us from dead works to serve the Living God from our conscious conscience!! There is no formula to God. There are no methods. There are no glib phrases to repeat or even invoke to know God, but in Christ in prayer: to know His Personhood: that He is the way, the truth, and the life and in that (testimony) of Christ Savior and Lord personally individually we’re born again following Messiah! John 14:6.
We’re each called to our own spiritual adventure and spiritual heart change surgery! But we all come through the Blood of Jesus Christ to New Covenant relationship with God! You can draw near to God and He will draw near to you. Forgetting what lies behind and reaching for what lies before, you can submit to Him and the devil will flee from us. You can have in your benefit file cabinet ethereally of what God has done FOR YOU by God's Salvation and literally on papers in knowing about Him greatly on the way to firsthand experiential experience knowing Him personally by getting saved which is the goal. With the pain evident by ethos and pathos known only to you and God, from Him that you are a sinner who has failed the Law of God admit this first and a chiefest sinner in addition that you desperately need to know from Ephesians chapters one and two and the Book of Hebrews ch. 9 and ch. 10 that the way is open and plain by the Word made flesh and dwelling among us, Jesus Christ, to become alive to God and you are laid bare and spiritually made open ready to this Salvation by a New Covenant Relationship convincing in fact born from an Old one that now in new wine skins is made a new and living way to God and is available through the Body of our Lord and His Blood to save! We came to Christ sinful, orphaned-by-this-world type sinners at some point, but nonetheless helpless a sinner we came to our Lord Jesus this way, hopeless. (And that in Finished Work of Jesus Christ God loves you almightily STRONG, justifies you, and transfers His Victory your way imputing Christ's Righteousness by just your faith in Him!) For in His Presence yes in His fullness of Presence there is joy, great joy, rooted in Christ even fullness of joy to be had!; pleasures at His right hand forevermore and this all had in knowing God through Christ simply put. In Him are hid all the treasures of wisdom and knowledge. It’s not pie in the sky by and by, but by Jesus and His words followed obeyed an abundant life in our Lord now and then if you will spend time with Jesus. No rose garden promised but led along by ardent penetrating Truth to deny self, take up our cross and follow Him Who Is a Person, Jesus Christ! Follow Him as I do and others. Put God with everything within you first, in you by faith! Cast down your idols. Put on the Lord Jesus Christ. Make the flesh have no comfort relatively (relatively means by comparison.) Jesus is coming back for ready people some "angry young men" Randy Stonehill penned lyrics. Men who fight for God's right ways and His honor: angry about sin and its harm to anyone and willing to do something. Knowing ironies of His Kingdom and having the peace with God from God that induces us to be fighting the Lord's battles love and really love on others good with Agape concern which is God's brand of love and caring. This starts with voluntary slavery to Christ's ways even servanthood. Servants have no will of their own but their Master's. They are willing to serve everyone even by willingness to do the dirtiest job on the lowest rung of ladder service too. They volunteer this status. We are friends of God in Christ if we do what He commands. We wash one another's feet. He's not our homey but our friend. So Salvation starts with Finished Works on the cross appropiated and responding to grace and our receiving forgiveness of sins from God and is expressed in results working out of us: effects like servanthood to the Lord and the wind listing to blow through our sails we put up for God to blow us along and it's so with everyone born of the Spirit to the effect the Devils works are destroyed by Christ within and glowing like embers in and through us! Eternal life which starts at the Death on the Cross in identification of Jesus in us or Resurrection for us even for each of us and it radically changes us by transforming us from faith to faith, glory to glory! With tears I pray the things that break God’s heart will break your heart and mine. Humbly with tears also I wish for you to be broken by God and embark on this road to God that, “aims at Heaven!” and hits it every time! (This was a C.S. Lewis phrase - "Aims at Heaven.") For His ways are so much greater than ours! And His Thoughts are so much higher than our thoughts! The cross is our stepping stone not stumbling block to this victory triumph state. We're not as an ant in weakness but as Nike (more than conquerors) overcomers in Him of finding strength every day in the Lord‘s will mystery even of the hidden maztsa of Christ life in the Passover Seder we press on. Keep in mind the destiny of Jesus for us of Heaven is a disciple's counted cost daily to follow Him. Indeed it is foolishness this preaching to some who are blind to not discern spiritual things as real but they are foolish to disbelieve the cross was a triumph act indeed closing their ears. “The fool has said in his/her heart, there is no God.“ But in foxholes and school lunches and exams, there are no atheists.
Living the Christian life is not by us but a replacing of the old with the new by Christ and God and not in self-glory nor selfishness nor to be lived in self-righteousness nor pity for self, but humbly Salvation is received, and restoration, not passively but actively believed and born into us New Birth out, and best lived extroverted and actively expressed by faith through grace. Grace has and must have a showing up response to it. Speak the truth to one another in love. By unmerited favor Christ is our righteousness to the end of the law and we, it's fulfillment, (Romans 8:3,4) cry to Him open and honest facing our facts of sins we’ve committed to God need forgiveness and that we’re sinners before Him condemned but for Him to give us Godly sorrow too to give repentance to us not to be repented of or not in any worldly sorrow of any kind felt we turn to Him. We’re a work in progress in Salvation and He’s working in us and on us with the Hammer (of the Word,) and sometimes Screwdriver of His love instead intended to make us sharp. Self-glory itself or any of self will as a part of self-effort to work to try to earn pleasing to get to God we CEASE from as we put aside performance oriented treadmill works of trying to earn salvation but doomed to frustration nonetheless behind us but instead in the Spirit through Christ knowing Him encountering Him suddenly learning grace and humbly genuinely authentically coming to Him as because of mercy and grace from God humbly received and without fear we strive to be like Christ. In other words we seek to be fishers of men and watch our image from God pattern that it's a strut or sprint as gained by faith in Him that it is progressing in longer streaming strides in the Lord truly dignified and seeking His face consistantly constantly circumspect becoming authentically humble like Philippians chapter two: our Lord's kenosis, self-emptying.
Jesus our Messiah Christ by Who He was and no other genuinely destroyed the work and power of the Devil literally walking into a room and breaking his weapons jujitsu in two declaring glorious Victory, making an embarrassing and woeful fateful end to the devil squashing his head then and his works demolished soon in future tense in display God gives us the TV feed over and will in a future tense legislation give us a view over them to their destruction that is, of the devil and his demons crushed and under our Lord's foot Colossian 2; Genesis 3:15; Romans 15. We're enlisted in our Lord's army to enforce this destruction and devastation execution punishment over Satan by the authority left by Jesus Christ as His deputies as we get the Spirit Anointed urge by God to step in to victory humbly spiritually even do something worthily obeying Christ! Even if it's by a faithful look even a display crucified with our Lord we are obedient. Christ came out of an empty Tomb to fill our empty hearts and "we be sweet" is His "It is finished" victory within! Benny Hester wrote or sang a song in Contemporary Christian music called, “When God Ran, “about how God longs to come to each one of us who were 'sinning' but returning to Papa Abba as children born once now born twice saved, born of God, and as prodigals repenting and stopping sin as a habit and lifestyle who Christ gives the power to do so we do and so we love Him and He longs to fill us His Body with His ever scented incense Presence and with Godly love unto Resurrection Life in the Son in newness of life. Except you become as little children and receive the Kingdom of God as a little child, you will not see it nor enter it nor will you be saved. Therefore, the noblest act for any of us to do is to sit at the feet of Jesus who is the exact Divine image and representation of God and learn by emptying ourselves of pride and humble ourselves and become as Born Again. Preferably in a prone position humbly with good posture always, we worship Him though posture doesn't matter. Jesus spoke of His Father, and said,"Sanctify us by Thy Truth. “ “Thy Word is truth. “ So should we have this attitude of humility in coming to the Word to change in His Presence as we pray to Our Heavenly Father! We can learn by this statement in Romans 6:23 that man is totally depraved and has the witness of God in His existence inside himself and it’s so that He needs a Savior and Lord. Attributes of Adam flock to tell its so on a daily moment by moment basis. Christ is the end or fulfillment of righteousness to all who believe for righteousness and forgiveness period rather than work for their salvation for those who exert effort on their part for righteousness of their own are doomed from the start to finish re: repeated frustration. Its by grace! Alone! And transformation! For Salvation man needs a Savior and Jesus is He of necessity and we must know he in His Name is given alone Acts 4:12. There's an influence for God we must live circumspect and transmit. Jesus the Only Begotten Son of God is to be believed in for salvation literally His Name, Jesus Christ: for grace charis is a good fragrance aroma even Life to us saved and is His Personal Trait within and we’re to worship Him for mercy shown us as we come to know Who He is more as God in the flesh, a Personal God. We must be light by living brightly bright a life worthy of our calling. He is able to save you by His Death and Resurrection through His Blood imputed (see Oxford Dictionary), imparted to the uttermost aspect of us who are kept by His Power, blessed in Him. You have a piece in this puzzle to play even contribute to His Body for edification of others if you endure in this re: the end. He wants us to be like His Son, made over in His Image renewed restored. In His love He means to love us in revival so we can be transformed to glorify and enjoy Him forever and then to help us to give to the common good to the end meaning “Rapture,“ or the death you die not spiritually but only in and to this earthly tent, your self will. You are Members of Christ in particular. When one member suffers we all suffer and when one member is honored we all are honored. You endure well THROUGH temptation contributing to edifying others instead in love for you will live forever in either hell or heaven...and He gives His Beloved sleep. But in Christ life begins at being born again! Hell is a real place and don’t go there. In every school examination the teacher is silent during an exam so our Heavenly Teacher remains quiet when we're being tested. Pastor Rich gave us this illustration.
Be aware your adequacy is of God and be not cast down about your pattern of living but available be to be used. When you're saved really experience and determine honestly to have time spent with Jesus well at every chance door and window of opportunity. And obey His commands as saved even ready to the life prepared that is salvation from the wrath to come or Great Tribulation. If the Rapture comes to pass and occurs in immanence you are living in relationship to God by faith through grace with faith obedient, faith can keep you so you can be caught up in being "snatched" up to the clouds to meet the Lord in the air, and so shall you ever be with the Lord Jesus! Draw comfort from these words. You're not earning God's love in loving Him but responding in appreciation to grace unmerited, the Gift of Salvation. We come boldly to God in the Lord Jesus Christ. Comfort one another with words like these! Doesn't this sound like something you’d like? Alternatively, learn to like? Love maybe? Read I Thessalonians 4:13-17 and I Corinthians 15:1-7ff. Imagine thinking, “I’m good enough to enter Heaven because my good outweighs my bad and then finding my Standard is no good either, because I stumble over scandals even over other little things in attempting to be good in little stuff and I can say He may honestly say then, “I never knew you, depart you to outer darkness.” In your realer moments you know it is true of us all. We need a Savior Who if we commit to would never leave us nor forsake us: JESUS! Follow Him where He is. Even if you feel church is not for you to attend faithfully, get saved anyway despite any hypocrites and Obey His Word everywhere extremely tenaciously so even if it don't make sense. Even if it's not Church all the time for you in planning Sunday nights try to remember this place is for worship even remember it is a Hospital for sinners and hurting often and always, a ship to find rescue from sin and all its wreck so develop sensitivity to the sensitive nature of sensitivity His Voice masters.
In context, "God be merciful to me a sinner," was heard said by a Tax-gatherer who was someone Jesus told as one who humbles himself before God he beating upon his breast in personal dread for his sins in preparation to see God. The Pharisee was a total lost man opposite in proud thought. Jesus told the interpretation of this about people who think themselves righteous and show contempt for others. This parable shows humility before God by this publican who came home justified and exalted in due time having humbled himself bowing low before God in petitions and supplication, worship of God for Who God is in aided humility. In keeping with the line of scripture I’m towing my family in to all be One in Christ, for I'm following unified LOVE in our Lord I‘ve found in Him from Him: that God is love and Jesus shows it personally by His Life, Death, Burial, and Resurrection and Subsequent Risen Life. We must all get humble even must bow down low before God and accept in prayer this born again relationship for God says you won't see God nor His Kingdom without Him or Holiness. His way of Rescue from the sinfulness and insidiousness of sin in this world is grounded in sins that we have committed by error of commission and omission seen forgiven now in the present even taken away within a Relationship with Him and sanctification or becoming like Christ then on!. Just by being born from Adam, we are responsible for grace has a response with it and this is because we all were in Adam when he fell in His genes. This invitation to pursue God for all its worth (brave inside) is a testifying too that Jesus Paid It All; that the deliverance over sin Christ won to gain our salvation for us was complete and makes us whole; it follows...WE MUST BE BORN AGAIN AS INDIVIDUALS AND INTO A CORPORATE BODY! In Christ or Born of God, in relationship to Him like hand in glove, father and son or daughter in Family! No religion too! As a popular song lyric puts it *BUT IN GENUINE RELATIONSHIP TO GOD! *YES! The Word of God says God created man in the image and likeness of God. It declares man suffers irreparably, or beyond hope from the fall of Adam the first man. Law only shows up our sin. It's our schoolmaster to bring us to Christ. Genesis declares in the account record by Moses that their fall brought substantial crises to man and that this happened just as they disobeyed God's command to not eat the fruit of the tree in the middle of the Garden God said no to eat as a direct command but disobeyed. Man thinks of loopholes first all the time in sinning but in this he was and is Divinely made in God's image in vestiges latent so man thinks, “how do I fix this,?" He then made fig leaves to cover his and her skin before a Holy God in a religious act but God came the Redemptive way to man and made provision to restore man to Himself without help from man for that redemption of the likeness and image of God to be returned. God made animal clothes. Simple. He slew a sacrifice and it was the first one required for forgiveness of sin. Even this expresses the thought more robustly that the Lamb of God was slain from the Foundation of the world for God provided firstly AN EVERLASTING Covenant by sacrifice and we play a part in it by having faith. Even today in this very moment God would love to love on you for you to order your life anew and lifestyle aright and show you He has a Divine plan for you to live just “in the dust of the Rabbi, JESUS CHRIST “God-breathed (inspired: theopneustos in Greek) and for that likeness or image of God to be restored for you; for me. This is EMT aid (emergency medical tech) by God or CPR cardiopulmonary resuscitation God performs on you (cardio-pulmonary resuscitation of the heart and life through spirit in-breath or electro-cardio diagnosis (Hebrews 4:12) that aids in newness of life heart health like in our new mind in I Corinthians 13.) Jesus is da MAN! The Word made flesh has and is dwelling dwelt among us. And I can see in my mind's eye in the unknown for me on my plate to believe the likeness to Christ aspects of being in-breathed of Father God our Creator in us that He has vested interest in because He gave Jesus. In His investments in natural creation acts and in the Finished Work on Calvary it was this as well as that done both by the Almighty because of His love Agape for man that we enjoy. Without regard for who we are in our person alone and in His Own Personal Way Amazing Unconditional personal LOVE IS SHOWN US nonetheless, from His Throne and His long-hearted unmerited grace passion-shown long suffering forbearing enduring Sovereignty and Love. He has worked sacredly to appoint Justification to us in the cross and for me for a time in particular of being saved in the moment of today because grace is of God alone in its saving aspect always and for us all so let it to happen is my prayer. After being saved God wants to PROVE His people true and to test their innocence to the unsaved to save many more! Only His saved children get disciplined by Him at all and that is literally His begotten love from our good good Daddy Father in Heaven to do that! His brand, His Kind of Love is Indescribable, Untamable, and Unstoppable; even so we can be motive intended by Him miraculously to do His will with pleasure! Ask the Savior inside to save you and make you His! If God be for us who can be against us! Have surpassing and deep emotional passion to love God first and then compassionately others like God loves and for Christ's Body of believers! He's the abundance in the Harvest! We're His co-laborers. Therefore let us go to Him outside the Camp, bearing His reproach, Heb. 13:13 (witnesses.) “For we have not here an abiding city, but we seek after the city which is to come.”
Hebrews 13:14 Through Him then let us be offering up the sacrifice to God continually that is the fruit of our lips confessing His Name!! Verse 15. By David Candel with the aid of the Holy Spirit.
The Gospel: A Coming To Christ for Salvation. How Would You Like To Or Feel Up To Relationship (not religion) Being Forgiven And Saved As Becoming An Intimate Friend Of God And Alive to God So Much It Hurts in An Abundant Life In Christ, Accepting Adoption Into God's Family, a Fellowship with God by responding to God's gracious invitation to Salvation In Christ From Him in His Word the Bible for This The Zoe Life (God-kind) in The Preparation For And Expectation of an Ethereal After-Life Existence Someday In Heaven in new bodies? I have decided to repent of sinful ways and all sin I know that is in me and have then followed Christ in and by my life. By the Holy Spirit I'm made whole. A wretch though I was God has Saved me. Confession is not a work but instead it's a very tonguely and hungry lifestyle means to be honest before God in truth in God's eye. It's an invitation to let God be God, search me and know me, try me, and adjust and correct, and lead me in the way everlasting and repenting in the way, as well if one hasn't. Have you been raised in the faith like I and found Christ at some time but later than I or perhaps before, it doesn't matter. Being raised in the faith did not save me at four but making a decision to accept Christ as my own Savior and Lord by the Spirit and in follow through in living in and for Him consistently has. I didn't need man's help for this.
Is your aim at Heaven? Are you growing nonholy or are you hot?! Do you know He loves you respectfully and it's His Will for you to be holy, you to be hot like white hot on fire not just lukewarm? He wants to make you shine bright. Do you know Salvation involves discipleship to fully realize all of it and that God's plan is for you and is in His love and by faith in God it cannot be thwarted? Amen. Don't renounce Him any but confess Him everywhere like sounding an alarm before you warning and crying out, "He's Risen" by your life and life's good news. Love is not real until it's tested. His testing takes place while He is quiet in the discipleship way affirming and greatly encouraging us and is to be resulting in faith-filled lives abundantly lived along every way in this life spending Eternal time with God meaning really being with Him all the time and with Jesus specially whatever may befall and is for us to be developing in being a disciple and in being like Christ and aware of God's working within to will and to do His good pleasure. We're being cemented in a Blood Relationship Covenant in His Son with the Promises granted (someday), as the goal in Him. This is all by the Spirit being put in us Ezekiel 37:14; Acts1:8.
I'm saved in bold assurance even confidence in His hand knowing He's good and is a good good Father like the Chris Tomlin song goes! I came to Christ and knelt humbly and prostrated myself before Him in worship and by God's grace which is power to keep you I was Saved from sin as Jesus is Lord patiently He came inside and I obediently accepted "IN you" in confidence meaning FORGIVENESS of God!!! Do you not know this in your life? Let our response be to make Him Lord, Savior. Deny yourself, take up your cross, and follow Christ. And follow through with you surrendering, with Jesus sanctifying helping, daily on the Altar of God on which you are placing you a living sacrifice laid bound to the altar bound by grace, mercy, and love chords. Daily we want to prepare to seek Him today specially in hearing His Voice from Him on Heaven's Temple's Throne and you spiritually alive in obedience with a look to fulfillment of that said obedience with appointment to be watchmen and sounding the alarm and warning before and around you everywhere you go, specially seeing Him today intently and in light and in Heaven someday Romans 12:1; 6:11-13?
Do you see Him in your days alive working moving? Is He working even moving inside you with alive indeed living motions alive shoulder to shoulder help and alive in you and living through you even as along side you? Is He in you mightily replacing your old ways with His Salvation truckload of facts of effects as you're receiving blessing from His doing now that you are saved? Is His love meaning more to you than this world of sin truly? Do you know to what extent God went through to He sending His beloved Son actually to be Dying on a Cross and Risen Again for you? He goes through His wallet full of photos extensively to show through His action figure in time (Christ in time and Eternity) to us His mankind: How He loves us so very much individually and each of us in this wonderful lavish almighty unconditional personally satisfying edifying uniquely expressing-His-image-to-each individual-as-if-He-the-only-one-to-us-sending Divine/human (Jesus is called the son of man,) love in Redemption? He was 100% God and 100% man. As son of man He's Messiah. We must appropiate for ourselves that love in all its facets of a diamond embracing in Salvation ourselves as one for whom Christ Died for whom Christ won Eternal life specially beseeching for us to come to Him, He came for us and a 'Dying. Think how glistening a diamond is and its facets glamorous. It was my sin that indeed killed Him. We are blessed to receive Salvation. Can we not indeed be broken together and open and talk about this? Read Isaiah 61. It's about being broken by God and He living a replaced life in us to rebuild, raise up, and repair through us. God will clothe in celebration of that tri-fold task and in His wedding garments of Salvation bedeck us even with jewels, a robe of God's Righteousness symbolically and really. It was for me He Died, and He offers forgiveness and newness of life and what about you? Who do you see, Jesus to really be? Does He save, keep, and satisfy? Indeed more to be desired is He in His Laws than gold, yea much fine gold, sweeter also than honey, and honey from the honeycomb. He makes His invitation to come to Him for us complete in time and we respond in kind in His way and in a timely fashion. We come to the Cross for the flesh to die.
So do you believe God would do all that? Save us who believe in the Son? The demons also believe in God and tremble. He'd like to personally treat you to knowing (ya da in Hebrew, know) Him in a Covenant relationship that saves from hell, death, sin, and the grave or fear of death and worry delivers from a sinful lifstyle and habit to the uttermost and He sanctifies as well. And He, liking you too and finding you (as He did Abraham, Moses, or the Apostle Paul) in re-creation of you in Born Again Salvation and giving you such a transformed abundant justified changed life from the heart now as they had on earth and indeed in Heaven perfected aimed for? For God is a personal God and and Divine Being Who longs to be our Father this way meaning similarly giving each of us individually a bent on Calvary's Cross to die but no carbon copy to each one of us is given to become like but to each to be knowable by different grace than what this world knows and through faith God is stamping out a tupos (image in Greek) of Christ in people who are His because these people honored Him and He showed up. There was prosperity in Biblical characters too but not without revival in the heart like we're used to in New Covenant living in Jesus sitting in the Heavenlies too for the adventure took them everywhere and every which way but loose as they little expected. They expected the Voice of God though through the Holy Spirit coming upon.
For love from God changes us! We're not earning anything as far as love goes from God but justly walking in Him trying to please Him one inch at a time daily. Making ourselves available for His interventions in daily tasks we approach to appeal to our Father even ask Him for specific answers as to what we are to do. We can plan for the future but not by worry or stressing. One step at a time He leads His dear children along. 'I shall not want," for the Lord is my Shepherd. Still waters and lush green pasture is there to feed. Though we go through the valley of the shadow of death we shall fear no evil. Making the sorrowing weeping place of lack or loss a well of springs bursting through in joy we're like trees clapping.
Love of God does not disqualify anyone nor give up on you as anyone nor does it not disregard the small of our back as it engages, grips us even our heart as we are cared for concernedly by Him and watched over by Him even as a nurse, we, practicing humility before Him alone when looking at the forest for all the trees in His hand thou Jacob son of Israel (Messianic Jews) and Body of our Lord are blessed Hebrews 6:10. Our God is not too small. He's a Jewish Jesus. He knows us all by name and sees everything. Nothing is a secret to Him. He calls us by our first name also like He did to Mary at the Empty Tomb. He's familiar and acquainted with all our paths and ways and He scrutinizes our path Psalm 139:1-3 He promises to us as an overcomer, a stone written with a name written on it known only to its owner Given to us as overcomers, individual believers in Him Revelations 2:17. Even like Cheers, the comedy TV show God knows us familiarly but He remains Holy. He sees us through the lens of His Son's Righteousness. Like a weaned child we can be before Him, satisfied! Content! He is to be feared before, trembled before, and reveranced, even with rejoicing. Even to the very hairs on our head numbered He knows intimately the name HE calls us by! He loves us even while we were still sinners of His plan. But He changes us not leaving us unformed.
Like a nursing Mother will not forget her nursing child so He has us in His arms held tight and won't forget us Isaiah 49:14,15. Listen to a song, Just Be Held by Casting Crowns and Beautiful by MercyMe. If He knows the name of every star that is then He surely knows us inside and out and upside and down and by implying reference in astronomy. He knows the intricate makeup of every cell in us well. In each atom in each cell He is the glue by which all things hold together. In Him all atoms hold together. He saw us being knit together in our Mother's womb and He knew every one of our days being knit or formed together (cite Jeremiah chapter one and Psalm 139,) before any of them came to exist. And He loves us mightily STRONG in DYING ON THE CROSS. God is pro-life. You see God became one of us, a human, a man. God visited mankind and dwelt among us and showed us what He is like: that He is good, holy, merciful, kind, and redeemed us, bought us back from slavery to sin and we are not our own. Really! God wants a personal knowing of you in return and the reciprocity of continuing to know Him enduring to the end. But to do that for everyone He Died on Calvary so personally He without having invading our will with He searching in us is let by us into your conscience by introspection and examination to place His Son's Blood in you and He will save us if we let Him. But in introspected examination searching yourself are you building up one another and is He helping build a House for God with you (Temple for the Holy Spirit) of obedient response to His call and coming of you in returning to Him (Isaiah 55:1-11)? If so there is Heavenly gold in this. In I Corinthians three, the Bema Seat here describes the good works we do in our Lord and this is a judgment Of goodness not for sin. We're not talking abundance of material things here either in coming to Him on earth and/or in the reward's crown(s) of the Bema, nor complete answers to problems we may engage in nor meat and drink imbibing but of the heart, His Presence a problem solver Savior, our devotion to Christ, adoration in the little crevices and heart beat of our soul in intimacy with Him in the Kingdom of God in salvation, in the Name and Adventure walking worthy of His calling in a very little and obedient for receiving even dwelling in the Holy Spirit! God is no respecter of persons. He will reward anybody who is faithful who is having faith in Him becoming alive to God through Jesus's Blood in the Kingdom which is the reason for our existence: righteousness, peace, and joy, in the Holy Spirit. Be caring for the weightier matters of the law such as justice, peace, mercy, and faithfulness being Born Again Mt. 23,24,25; Romans 13,14; Hebrews 11:1, Now faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen. Without faith it is impossible to please Him for He that comes to God must believe that He is and is a rewarder of them that dilligently seek Him! Faith is not faith in faith at all but in a godly place leaning depending on God YAWEH Elohim Adonai El Shaddai where God is. In Salvation we are hid with Christ in God. He's our point of contact. Our faith touches His fingers and even His heart.
After our heart life devotion and spirit's pardon in Salvation God longs after us to have a perfected spirit in us in Christ not like the Pharisees who majored in minors like washings, offerings, and fastings. We need to reverence Him instead of observing by focusing in Pharisaical behavior of one another observed among our associates at Bethel Assembly. But instead be fervent in loving especially our allegiance/availability to Him is to become reversed from this world and in the Spirit replaced by Christ's righteousness intact back to His Presence as we approach Him and focus on what HE gives. From being forgiven by God fact is we draw from the wells of Salvation joyful. He's earned a place in our heart of daily honor & devotion approaching falling in love with Him, as He, Himself loved us first and for our love shown Him He rescued us at Calvary as He did in sending His only Son two thousand years before to buy us back He Ransoms us and reveals to us His Real life Divine calling to Save and live replaced life IN US. His reality is Heaven and on His Throne, He's our Rock to found your edifice on and foundation as He wants us in relationship to Himself and in love in this relationship in fellowship strongly furthering His Kingdom as His childlike children specially attending Church (hint, here is mine: Bethel Assembly,) and enjoying everyone’s individual personality in His Body of believers! The diversity of believer's ethnic origins of nations in individuals is great in Christ's Body. He's created such a tex mix. He doesn’t like us at a distance but near because spiritually pride is sin to us and any haughtiness indeed does hurt even communication vertically first and horizontally if He looks down on us and sees no faith obedience in faith-filled life. But we still draw near to Him and His Presence boldly by the Blood making our confession. Also we want to be childlike not childish because there is a difference. A wise man such (Walter Beuttler,) has said in order for God to do 'That' something for us, He has to do something with us, so that He can do something to us! God was in the cross reconciling men to Himself. God allows us the faith to believe present active subjunctive which is a reasoned response to Finished Work of Christ on the Cross to bring us into zeal for His House! Jesus said, "Zeal for Your House Father has eaten me up." Do you have His Gift of Salvation and giftings to contribute to the common good of believers and do you follow Christ to obey His commands so much it hurts?
Do you recognize He gives you faith to believe as His Creation present active indicative in most verses mentioned in the Word which is a verb tense of belief and to believe and keep on believing? And that He loves you as Daddy (not especially a spoiling daddy,) but in believing on Him as Source, or Provision (supply?) and a good good Father in everything He gives! This special love He loves you with is for caring at the unique person you are and creation He made you in closeness and raven care by observing the birds even because it is concern-ed love by God our good Father Abba Papa and Who is Savior to you because He chooses to love you making you free a sovereign to choose Jesus Christ with an abandonment to your free will dynamic thus to love Him of importance utmost and you remain sovereign under Lordship to Christ. Freedom is not always a safe thing thus but it can be safe if it's I and You and me is I and God is You and not 'Him and I.' It becomes eternally 'edge of the ledge' dangerous if you do not however take in the whole counsel of the Word of God to be saved in fellowship relationship to God and not necessarily 'religious religion' "finding you."
This is because hearing God and not obeying Him is like witchcraft and rebellion. But He gives more grace. But the secret to better living greater than modern sexual freedom of this world's twisted thinking controlled by Satan and or sensuality in us as well is in love Agapeon for God expressed in faith believing or receiving changing by Him and/or responding to God's kind of love for us and in not holding any sour thoughts to this in the grace of God in this realm but praising, loving, worshipping, serving Him, not failing to find grace always in every way and path you walk in Him. Grace is for obedience to be salt and light to change the world even our world around us. Consider God’s Revelation of Himself in of all books, the Bible and Isaiah! He demands we not be dishes He uses who weep and cry but instead be priests and ministers. Chapter 61 of Isaiah gives us empowerment to have everlasting joy and celebration for ashes and rending of our clothing. But if we use our will to choose to decide for Him in Salvation and choose Him in His Presence within inside always we will have assurances for no choice is eternal destruction but instead we will wear a garment of Salvation!! 'He wants to encourage us to have a job, a ministry. It may be long term or short," as our Pastor says. Eternal Destiny is at stake if we need Salvation too! Really! Jesus, His Life, Death, Burial, and Resurrection is key! Rejoice greatly in the Lord! We hold no other Salvation than Atonement through Christ's Blood over sin and all it's wreck to change us. Hell will be death working backwards in fire's lake conscious and regrets awaits this for those on the fence who have not chosen Christ. Freedom from sin this day He promises you in your getting saved coming to Him weary from heavy labor on your back and becoming His. Gone all my sins are gone! Come to Jesus Christ seeing the Promises becoming a work in progress in getting to know Him for the rest of your life passively from His work at the Cross within in your heart: actively for working this out is to will to do and will His good pleasure with a godly pursuit actively in finite yoked-to-Jesus spurts moment by moment adventure of knowing Him by Divine Nature and Love for Him opening up to His Will in His Majesty and Magnificence!
What would it take for you to believe Him, to show this faith and love increasingly for or towards our Jehovah God in this Christian life we call Salvation in relationship? YES, Oh How He loves you greatly in the Son. And yes our seeming control of things in life is an illusion. We can surrender control to God or choose money in this world's system to seeming have control. Jesus said, "You can't serve both God and mammon." Will you choose surrender to Christ's will? Do you realize serving money systems is a dead end? That is how not to have an object to your faith. But decide to choose God as faith's object and not faith in faith! Make Jesus God and Lord. It matters because the object of faith is for faith to have its root to become God so stay with that aspect not clinging so tightly to material possessions but abiding through Christ Jesus gently meekly but strongingly laying hold of He Who is our Fortress and High Tower saving us present tense in Eternal time as well. Christ Himself makes peace between us and God and has this He has Done through His work on the cross of His shed Blood and earthly life in Perfection and His is a Perfect Sacrifice to propitiate (Satisfying to God well for sin,) or Atone for to make a person's faith's decision to believe GOD to save us being justified from sin (past, present, and future,) which is the only choice for real Godly life unto a rightness from Him. It is Christ we live for through appropriation of Him to a relationship to God BY THE SON’s Finished Work applied to us. Just as an animal was chosen for sacrifice in olden days for its perfection from defect and perfect age seen by children precious to give to the priest for Atonement so the Innocent Lamb of God, Jesus Died for your sins as perfect Sacrifice for Justice before a Merciful Holy God. That little lamb couldn't 'cut the mustard,' but Christ DID! Jesus is your great High Priest correction our Great High Priest purging our conscience for rooted forgiveness inside and by His Word sprinkling our hearts from an evil conscience and cleansing us from dead works to serve the Living God from our conscious conscience!! There is no formula to God. There are no methods. There are no glib phrases to repeat or even invoke to know God, but in Christ in prayer: to know His Personhood: that He is the way, the truth, and the life and in that (testimony) of Christ Savior and Lord personally individually we’re born again following Messiah! John 14:6.
We’re each called to our own spiritual adventure and spiritual heart change surgery! But we all come through the Blood of Jesus Christ to New Covenant relationship with God! You can draw near to God and He will draw near to you. Forgetting what lies behind and reaching for what lies before, you can submit to Him and the devil will flee from us. You can have in your benefit file cabinet ethereally of what God has done FOR YOU by God's Salvation and literally on papers in knowing about Him greatly on the way to firsthand experiential experience knowing Him personally by getting saved which is the goal. With the pain evident by ethos and pathos known only to you and God, from Him that you are a sinner who has failed the Law of God admit this first and a chiefest sinner in addition that you desperately need to know from Ephesians chapters one and two and the Book of Hebrews ch. 9 and ch. 10 that the way is open and plain by the Word made flesh and dwelling among us, Jesus Christ, to become alive to God and you are laid bare and spiritually made open ready to this Salvation by a New Covenant Relationship convincing in fact born from an Old one that now in new wine skins is made a new and living way to God and is available through the Body of our Lord and His Blood to save! We came to Christ sinful, orphaned-by-this-world type sinners at some point, but nonetheless helpless a sinner we came to our Lord Jesus this way, hopeless. (And that in Finished Work of Jesus Christ God loves you almightily STRONG, justifies you, and transfers His Victory your way imputing Christ's Righteousness by just your faith in Him!) For in His Presence yes in His fullness of Presence there is joy, great joy, rooted in Christ even fullness of joy to be had!; pleasures at His right hand forevermore and this all had in knowing God through Christ simply put. In Him are hid all the treasures of wisdom and knowledge. It’s not pie in the sky by and by, but by Jesus and His words followed obeyed an abundant life in our Lord now and then if you will spend time with Jesus. No rose garden promised but led along by ardent penetrating Truth to deny self, take up our cross and follow Him Who Is a Person, Jesus Christ! Follow Him as I do and others. Put God with everything within you first, in you by faith! Cast down your idols. Put on the Lord Jesus Christ. Make the flesh have no comfort relatively (relatively means by comparison.) Jesus is coming back for ready people some "angry young men" Randy Stonehill penned lyrics. Men who fight for God's right ways and His honor: angry about sin and its harm to anyone and willing to do something. Knowing ironies of His Kingdom and having the peace with God from God that induces us to be fighting the Lord's battles love and really love on others good with Agape concern which is God's brand of love and caring. This starts with voluntary slavery to Christ's ways even servanthood. Servants have no will of their own but their Master's. They are willing to serve everyone even by willingness to do the dirtiest job on the lowest rung of ladder service too. They volunteer this status. We are friends of God in Christ if we do what He commands. We wash one another's feet. He's not our homey but our friend. So Salvation starts with Finished Works on the cross appropiated and responding to grace and our receiving forgiveness of sins from God and is expressed in results working out of us: effects like servanthood to the Lord and the wind listing to blow through our sails we put up for God to blow us along and it's so with everyone born of the Spirit to the effect the Devils works are destroyed by Christ within and glowing like embers in and through us! Eternal life which starts at the Death on the Cross in identification of Jesus in us or Resurrection for us even for each of us and it radically changes us by transforming us from faith to faith, glory to glory! With tears I pray the things that break God’s heart will break your heart and mine. Humbly with tears also I wish for you to be broken by God and embark on this road to God that, “aims at Heaven!” and hits it every time! (This was a C.S. Lewis phrase - "Aims at Heaven.") For His ways are so much greater than ours! And His Thoughts are so much higher than our thoughts! The cross is our stepping stone not stumbling block to this victory triumph state. We're not as an ant in weakness but as Nike (more than conquerors) overcomers in Him of finding strength every day in the Lord‘s will mystery even of the hidden maztsa of Christ life in the Passover Seder we press on. Keep in mind the destiny of Jesus for us of Heaven is a disciple's counted cost daily to follow Him. Indeed it is foolishness this preaching to some who are blind to not discern spiritual things as real but they are foolish to disbelieve the cross was a triumph act indeed closing their ears. “The fool has said in his/her heart, there is no God.“ But in foxholes and school lunches and exams, there are no atheists.
Living the Christian life is not by us but a replacing of the old with the new by Christ and God and not in self-glory nor selfishness nor to be lived in self-righteousness nor pity for self, but humbly Salvation is received, and restoration, not passively but actively believed and born into us New Birth out, and best lived extroverted and actively expressed by faith through grace. Grace has and must have a showing up response to it. Speak the truth to one another in love. By unmerited favor Christ is our righteousness to the end of the law and we, it's fulfillment, (Romans 8:3,4) cry to Him open and honest facing our facts of sins we’ve committed to God need forgiveness and that we’re sinners before Him condemned but for Him to give us Godly sorrow too to give repentance to us not to be repented of or not in any worldly sorrow of any kind felt we turn to Him. We’re a work in progress in Salvation and He’s working in us and on us with the Hammer (of the Word,) and sometimes Screwdriver of His love instead intended to make us sharp. Self-glory itself or any of self will as a part of self-effort to work to try to earn pleasing to get to God we CEASE from as we put aside performance oriented treadmill works of trying to earn salvation but doomed to frustration nonetheless behind us but instead in the Spirit through Christ knowing Him encountering Him suddenly learning grace and humbly genuinely authentically coming to Him as because of mercy and grace from God humbly received and without fear we strive to be like Christ. In other words we seek to be fishers of men and watch our image from God pattern that it's a strut or sprint as gained by faith in Him that it is progressing in longer streaming strides in the Lord truly dignified and seeking His face consistantly constantly circumspect becoming authentically humble like Philippians chapter two: our Lord's kenosis, self-emptying.
Jesus our Messiah Christ by Who He was and no other genuinely destroyed the work and power of the Devil literally walking into a room and breaking his weapons jujitsu in two declaring glorious Victory, making an embarrassing and woeful fateful end to the devil squashing his head then and his works demolished soon in future tense in display God gives us the TV feed over and will in a future tense legislation give us a view over them to their destruction that is, of the devil and his demons crushed and under our Lord's foot Colossian 2; Genesis 3:15; Romans 15. We're enlisted in our Lord's army to enforce this destruction and devastation execution punishment over Satan by the authority left by Jesus Christ as His deputies as we get the Spirit Anointed urge by God to step in to victory humbly spiritually even do something worthily obeying Christ! Even if it's by a faithful look even a display crucified with our Lord we are obedient. Christ came out of an empty Tomb to fill our empty hearts and "we be sweet" is His "It is finished" victory within! Benny Hester wrote or sang a song in Contemporary Christian music called, “When God Ran, “about how God longs to come to each one of us who were 'sinning' but returning to Papa Abba as children born once now born twice saved, born of God, and as prodigals repenting and stopping sin as a habit and lifestyle who Christ gives the power to do so we do and so we love Him and He longs to fill us His Body with His ever scented incense Presence and with Godly love unto Resurrection Life in the Son in newness of life. Except you become as little children and receive the Kingdom of God as a little child, you will not see it nor enter it nor will you be saved. Therefore, the noblest act for any of us to do is to sit at the feet of Jesus who is the exact Divine image and representation of God and learn by emptying ourselves of pride and humble ourselves and become as Born Again. Preferably in a prone position humbly with good posture always, we worship Him though posture doesn't matter. Jesus spoke of His Father, and said,"Sanctify us by Thy Truth. “ “Thy Word is truth. “ So should we have this attitude of humility in coming to the Word to change in His Presence as we pray to Our Heavenly Father! We can learn by this statement in Romans 6:23 that man is totally depraved and has the witness of God in His existence inside himself and it’s so that He needs a Savior and Lord. Attributes of Adam flock to tell its so on a daily moment by moment basis. Christ is the end or fulfillment of righteousness to all who believe for righteousness and forgiveness period rather than work for their salvation for those who exert effort on their part for righteousness of their own are doomed from the start to finish re: repeated frustration. Its by grace! Alone! And transformation! For Salvation man needs a Savior and Jesus is He of necessity and we must know he in His Name is given alone Acts 4:12. There's an influence for God we must live circumspect and transmit. Jesus the Only Begotten Son of God is to be believed in for salvation literally His Name, Jesus Christ: for grace charis is a good fragrance aroma even Life to us saved and is His Personal Trait within and we’re to worship Him for mercy shown us as we come to know Who He is more as God in the flesh, a Personal God. We must be light by living brightly bright a life worthy of our calling. He is able to save you by His Death and Resurrection through His Blood imputed (see Oxford Dictionary), imparted to the uttermost aspect of us who are kept by His Power, blessed in Him. You have a piece in this puzzle to play even contribute to His Body for edification of others if you endure in this re: the end. He wants us to be like His Son, made over in His Image renewed restored. In His love He means to love us in revival so we can be transformed to glorify and enjoy Him forever and then to help us to give to the common good to the end meaning “Rapture,“ or the death you die not spiritually but only in and to this earthly tent, your self will. You are Members of Christ in particular. When one member suffers we all suffer and when one member is honored we all are honored. You endure well THROUGH temptation contributing to edifying others instead in love for you will live forever in either hell or heaven...and He gives His Beloved sleep. But in Christ life begins at being born again! Hell is a real place and don’t go there. In every school examination the teacher is silent during an exam so our Heavenly Teacher remains quiet when we're being tested. Pastor Rich gave us this illustration.
Be aware your adequacy is of God and be not cast down about your pattern of living but available be to be used. When you're saved really experience and determine honestly to have time spent with Jesus well at every chance door and window of opportunity. And obey His commands as saved even ready to the life prepared that is salvation from the wrath to come or Great Tribulation. If the Rapture comes to pass and occurs in immanence you are living in relationship to God by faith through grace with faith obedient, faith can keep you so you can be caught up in being "snatched" up to the clouds to meet the Lord in the air, and so shall you ever be with the Lord Jesus! Draw comfort from these words. You're not earning God's love in loving Him but responding in appreciation to grace unmerited, the Gift of Salvation. We come boldly to God in the Lord Jesus Christ. Comfort one another with words like these! Doesn't this sound like something you’d like? Alternatively, learn to like? Love maybe? Read I Thessalonians 4:13-17 and I Corinthians 15:1-7ff. Imagine thinking, “I’m good enough to enter Heaven because my good outweighs my bad and then finding my Standard is no good either, because I stumble over scandals even over other little things in attempting to be good in little stuff and I can say He may honestly say then, “I never knew you, depart you to outer darkness.” In your realer moments you know it is true of us all. We need a Savior Who if we commit to would never leave us nor forsake us: JESUS! Follow Him where He is. Even if you feel church is not for you to attend faithfully, get saved anyway despite any hypocrites and Obey His Word everywhere extremely tenaciously so even if it don't make sense. Even if it's not Church all the time for you in planning Sunday nights try to remember this place is for worship even remember it is a Hospital for sinners and hurting often and always, a ship to find rescue from sin and all its wreck so develop sensitivity to the sensitive nature of sensitivity His Voice masters.
In context, "God be merciful to me a sinner," was heard said by a Tax-gatherer who was someone Jesus told as one who humbles himself before God he beating upon his breast in personal dread for his sins in preparation to see God. The Pharisee was a total lost man opposite in proud thought. Jesus told the interpretation of this about people who think themselves righteous and show contempt for others. This parable shows humility before God by this publican who came home justified and exalted in due time having humbled himself bowing low before God in petitions and supplication, worship of God for Who God is in aided humility. In keeping with the line of scripture I’m towing my family in to all be One in Christ, for I'm following unified LOVE in our Lord I‘ve found in Him from Him: that God is love and Jesus shows it personally by His Life, Death, Burial, and Resurrection and Subsequent Risen Life. We must all get humble even must bow down low before God and accept in prayer this born again relationship for God says you won't see God nor His Kingdom without Him or Holiness. His way of Rescue from the sinfulness and insidiousness of sin in this world is grounded in sins that we have committed by error of commission and omission seen forgiven now in the present even taken away within a Relationship with Him and sanctification or becoming like Christ then on!. Just by being born from Adam, we are responsible for grace has a response with it and this is because we all were in Adam when he fell in His genes. This invitation to pursue God for all its worth (brave inside) is a testifying too that Jesus Paid It All; that the deliverance over sin Christ won to gain our salvation for us was complete and makes us whole; it follows...WE MUST BE BORN AGAIN AS INDIVIDUALS AND INTO A CORPORATE BODY! In Christ or Born of God, in relationship to Him like hand in glove, father and son or daughter in Family! No religion too! As a popular song lyric puts it *BUT IN GENUINE RELATIONSHIP TO GOD! *YES! The Word of God says God created man in the image and likeness of God. It declares man suffers irreparably, or beyond hope from the fall of Adam the first man. Law only shows up our sin. It's our schoolmaster to bring us to Christ. Genesis declares in the account record by Moses that their fall brought substantial crises to man and that this happened just as they disobeyed God's command to not eat the fruit of the tree in the middle of the Garden God said no to eat as a direct command but disobeyed. Man thinks of loopholes first all the time in sinning but in this he was and is Divinely made in God's image in vestiges latent so man thinks, “how do I fix this,?" He then made fig leaves to cover his and her skin before a Holy God in a religious act but God came the Redemptive way to man and made provision to restore man to Himself without help from man for that redemption of the likeness and image of God to be returned. God made animal clothes. Simple. He slew a sacrifice and it was the first one required for forgiveness of sin. Even this expresses the thought more robustly that the Lamb of God was slain from the Foundation of the world for God provided firstly AN EVERLASTING Covenant by sacrifice and we play a part in it by having faith. Even today in this very moment God would love to love on you for you to order your life anew and lifestyle aright and show you He has a Divine plan for you to live just “in the dust of the Rabbi, JESUS CHRIST “God-breathed (inspired: theopneustos in Greek) and for that likeness or image of God to be restored for you; for me. This is EMT aid (emergency medical tech) by God or CPR cardiopulmonary resuscitation God performs on you (cardio-pulmonary resuscitation of the heart and life through spirit in-breath or electro-cardio diagnosis (Hebrews 4:12) that aids in newness of life heart health like in our new mind in I Corinthians 13.) Jesus is da MAN! The Word made flesh has and is dwelling dwelt among us. And I can see in my mind's eye in the unknown for me on my plate to believe the likeness to Christ aspects of being in-breathed of Father God our Creator in us that He has vested interest in because He gave Jesus. In His investments in natural creation acts and in the Finished Work on Calvary it was this as well as that done both by the Almighty because of His love Agape for man that we enjoy. Without regard for who we are in our person alone and in His Own Personal Way Amazing Unconditional personal LOVE IS SHOWN US nonetheless, from His Throne and His long-hearted unmerited grace passion-shown long suffering forbearing enduring Sovereignty and Love. He has worked sacredly to appoint Justification to us in the cross and for me for a time in particular of being saved in the moment of today because grace is of God alone in its saving aspect always and for us all so let it to happen is my prayer. After being saved God wants to PROVE His people true and to test their innocence to the unsaved to save many more! Only His saved children get disciplined by Him at all and that is literally His begotten love from our good good Daddy Father in Heaven to do that! His brand, His Kind of Love is Indescribable, Untamable, and Unstoppable; even so we can be motive intended by Him miraculously to do His will with pleasure! Ask the Savior inside to save you and make you His! If God be for us who can be against us! Have surpassing and deep emotional passion to love God first and then compassionately others like God loves and for Christ's Body of believers! He's the abundance in the Harvest! We're His co-laborers. Therefore let us go to Him outside the Camp, bearing His reproach, Heb. 13:13 (witnesses.) “For we have not here an abiding city, but we seek after the city which is to come.”
Hebrews 13:14 Through Him then let us be offering up the sacrifice to God continually that is the fruit of our lips confessing His Name!! Verse 15. By David Candel with the aid of the Holy Spirit.
