Love From God The Indiscriminate Grace And Love And Mercy, Shocking Love of OUR Heavenly Father God!

    Imagine that Luke 15 gives the story of the Prodigal returned as the Magnificent Love of the Lavish Father rejoices that His son has come home! Bear with me a second because with indiscriminate grace and undeserved mercy the Father prevents the son on tip toes from the guilt of wasting his inheritance to attempt to try to excuse himself before the Father but instead gets a party from Love of the Father God with such hoopla merriment that only could be imagined for a long lost member of the family! 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 The Gospel: A Coming To Christ. How Would You Like To Or Feel Up To And Indeed Good To Go To Being And Indeed Becoming An Intimate Friend Of God And Live An Abundant Life In Christ From God In This Life In The Preparation For And Expectation Of Heaven? I have. Have you been raised in the faith? Is your aim at Heaven? Then tie a knot in your rebellion and obey God. Do you know He loves you. Do you know it involves discipleship to fully realize God's plan for you in His love and test the discipleship to be becoming cemented in Blood Covenant, saved?! And grace is to keep you saved from God as Jesus is Lord obediently IN you? Daily on the Altar laid? Do you know to what extent God went Through His wallet photos to show through His action to us His mankind: He loves us individually in this wonderful lavish almighty unconditional personally edifying individual-as-if-He-the-only-one-to-us-sending godly arousing passionate Divine/human (Jesus is called the son of man,) love? As you lay open your Bibles you won’t find the Autographs but you will obtain a good translation if you seek to find one. Only the Autographs are inspired though in the original Greek and Hebrew first original. But many versions are good with no change 99.9999% like indeed the New American Standard. Do you believe God would like to personally treat you to relationship that saves from hell and a sinful lifstyle and liking you to find you (as He did Abraham, Moses, or the Apostle Paul) and give you such abundant life now as they had on earth and in Heaven as they aimed for? For God is personal and longs to be that way for these people honored Him faithfully. For love from God does not disqualify nor give up on you nor does not disregard the small of us as we are practicing humility when looking at the forest for all the trees. He knows us by name. Even to the very hairs on our head the name "HE" calls us!! He loves us while we were enemies still of His plan. And He loves us mightily STRONG. God wants a personal knowing of you. But do you let Him into your conscience? But by examination are you building a House for God or you are you in the balances weighed and found wanting? We are not talking abundance of things here but of the heart, devotion, adoration in the little crevices and heart beat of our soul with Him! God is no respecter of persons. He will reward anybody who is having faith in Him Hebrews 11:1, Now faith is the substance of things hoped for, evidence of things not seen. Without it (faith) it is impossible to please God. For He that comes to God must believe that He is and is a rewarder of them that diligently seek Him! He's after our heart life and specially our allegiance/availability. He's earned a place in our heart for love shown in sending His only Son two thousand years before to buy us back. He wants us in relationship to Him and in fellowship strongly specially attending Church (hint, here is mine: Bethel,) and enjoying everyone’s personality! He doesn’t like us at a distance spiritually which sin to us Does. A wise man (Walter Beuttler,) has said in order for God to do something for us, He has to do something with us, so that He can do something to us! God gives us the faith to believe which is a gift! Do you have His Gift of Salvation and do you follow Christ so much it hurts? do you recognize He gives you faith to believe, present active indicative in most places mentioned in the Word which is a verb tense of belief and to keep on believing? And that He loves you as Daddy (not a sugar daddy,) but in believing on Him as Source, or Provision (supply?) This special love He loves you with is for the unique person you are and is love by God our good Father Abba Papa and is Savior to you because you choose Jesus Christ and do not make any choice to fulfill your own flesh desire. Freedom is not always safe thing thus but can be dangerous if you do not take in the whole counsel of the Word of God to be saved in relationship to God not necessarily 'religious religion' finding you. Better than freedom and or lisence is love agape or God's kind of love for us. Consider God’s Revelation of Himself in of all books, the Bible! He demands we use our will to choice to choose Him for no choice is eternal destruction! Eternal Destiny is at stake! Really! Freedom from sin He promises you in you getting saved and becoming a work in progress in getting to know Him for the rest of your life passively with a godly pursuit actively in finite spurts of knowing Him by Nature and Love for Him opening up! What would it take for you to show this faith and love for or towards Jehovah God in this Christian relationship? Would you need a breakthrough to have peace with Him if you risked high stakes of comprimise with man or of your so called life in management to get to Him? 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 to control. Jesus said, "You can't serve both God and mammon." Do you not have an object to your faith? It matters because the object of faith is God through Christ Jesus Who is saving us, (if we know God firsthand by becoming born again.)(and it is not faith in faith!) Christ Himself makes peace between us and God and has Done this through the work on the cross of His shed Blood and earthly life and it is a Perfect Sacrifice to propitiate (Satisfying to God well for sin,) to make a faith's decision to believe God to save us from sin (past, present, and future,) which is the only choice for your object. It is through a relationship to God BY THE SON’s Finished Work. Just as an animal was chosen for sacrifice in olden days for its perfection from defect to give the priest so the Innocent Lamb of God, Jesus Died for your sins. Jesus is your great High Priest purging our conscience forgiven and by His Word sprinkling our hearts from an evil conscience and cleaning us from dead works to serve from our conscience!! There is no formula to get there. There are no glib phrases to repeat, but in Christ: His Personhood: He is the way, the truth, and the life and in that (testimony)of Christ Savior and Lord we’re born again! John 14:6. We’re each called to our own spiritual adventure and heart surgery! But all come through the Blood of Jesus Christ to New Covenant relationship! You can draw near to God and He will draw near to you. You can have in your benefit in knowing about Him on the way to firsthand experience knowing Him by getting saved. With the pain evident by ethos and pathos known only to you and God, from Him that you are a sinner first you need to know from Hebrews the way is open and plain by the Word made flesh and dwelling among us, Jesus Christ, and spiritually by a New Covenant in fact born from an Old one that a new and living way to God is available through the Body of our Lord and His Blood! (And that in Finished Work of Jesus Christ God loves you almightily STRONG, justifies, and transfers His Victory your way!) For in His Presence yes in His fullness there is joy, rooted joy to be had!; pleasures at His right hand forevermore and this all in knowing God through Christ simply put. It’s not pie in the sky by and by, but Jesus and His words to discipleship. No rose garden promised but led along by ardent penetrating Truth to deny self, take up your cross and follow Him Who Is a Person, Jesus Christ! Follow God with everything in you! Jesus is coming back for some angry young men Randy Styonehill penned lyrics. Men who will fight for God's honor: angry about sin and its harm. Salvation starts with Finished Work on the cross and our forgiveness of sins from God and is expressed in results: effects like the wind to everyone born of the Spirit! Eternal life which starts at the Death on the Cross identification of Jesus in us or Resurrection 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 my and your’s heart. With tears also I wish you to 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 higher than ours! And His Thoughts are so much higher than our thoughts! The cross is our stepping stone not stumbling block to this victory triumphant of finding every day in the Lord‘s will of the hidden maztso of Christ like life in the Passover Seder. Keep in mind the destiny for us of Heaven is a cost to count to follow Him. Indeed it is foolishness to some who are blind to not discern spiritual things but they are foolish to disbelieve the cross was triumphant indeed. “The fool has said in his/her heart, there is no God. “ Living the Christian life is not in self-glory nor to be lived in self-righteousness nor pity for self, but mightily in Him humbly received, and restored, passively waited out, and extroverted and actively expressed. Christ is our righteousness and we cry open and honest facing the fact of sins we’ve committed to God and that we’re sinners for Him to give us Godly sorrow to to give repentance to us not to be repented of or in worldly sorrow of any kind felt. We’re a work in progress and He’s working in us and on us with Hammer (of the Word,) and sometimes Screwdriver intended to make us sharp. Self-glory as a part of self-effort to work to get to God we cease from and we put aside performance to impress in the Spirit through Christ knowing Him humbly genuine because of mercy and grace from God humbly and without fear. In other words we watch our strut that it is dignified and constantly becomes humble like Philippians chapter two: kenosis. Christ destroyed the work and power of the Devil literally breaking his weapons in two declaring Victory, making an embarrassing for him display over them Colossian 2. We're enlisted to enforce this destruction and devastation sentence over Satan by the authority of Jesus Christ as we get the Spirit Anointed urge by God in step spiritually! Christ came out of an empty Tomb to fill empty hearts and sweet is His victory! 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 'sinning' but returning to Papa Abba as children once for all and as prodigals repenting and so He longs to fill us with His Presence and with Godly love unto Resurrection Life in the Son. Except you become as little children and receive the Kingdom of God as a little child, you will not see nor enter it nor be saved. Therefore, the noblest act for us to do is to sit at the feet of Jesus who is the exact representation of God and learn! Preferably in a prone position always, to worship Him though posture doesn't matter. Jesus spoke of His Father, “Sanctify us by Thy Truth. “ “Thy Word is truth. “ So should we have this attitude of humility! We can learn by this statement that man is totally depraved and has the witness of God in His existence inside himself it’s so. Attributes of Adam flock to tell its so on a daily basis. Christ is the end or fulfillment of righteousness to all who believe for forgiveness period rather than work for their salvation for those who exert effort on their part for righteousness are doomed from the start to repeated frustration. Its by grace! Alone! Man needs a Savior of necessity and must know he is fallen. Jesus is to be believed in for salvation literally His Name, Jesus Christ: for grace charis is a good fragrance aroma to us saved and is His Personal Trait and we’re to worship Him for mercy shown as we come to know Who He is more as God in the flesh, a Personal God. He is able to save you by His Death and Resurrection through His Blood imputed, to the uttermost aspect kept by His Power, blessed in Him. You have a piece in this puzzle to contribute to His Body for edification if you endure in this re: the end. He wants us like His Son, made over in His Image. In His love He means to love us so we can help and give to the common good to the end meaning “Rapture,“ or the death you die not spiritually but to this earthly tent. You are Members of Christ in particular. When one member suffers us all suffer and when one member is honored we all get honored. You persevere well through temptation for you live forever in either...But life begins at being born again! Hell is a real place and don’t go there. Be qualified not cast away. When your saved tour saved from the wrath to come or Great Tribulation. If the Rapture comes to pass and you are living in relationship to God by faith through grace with faith obedient, you can be caught up in (“rapizo in org. Bible languages) to the clouds to meet the Lord in the air, and so shall you ever be with the Lord Jesus! You're not earning God's love but responding in appreciation. 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 because I compromise even in attempting to be good 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. Obey His Word even if it don't make sense. Develop sensitivity to the sensative nature of sensitivity to His Voice. 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 agony for his sins in preparation to see God. The Pharisee was a total opposite lost 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 worship God for Who God is in humility. In keeping with the line of scripture I’m towing my family in to all be One, I'm following unified LOVE I‘ve found from Him: that God is love and Jesus shows it personally by His Life, Death, Burial, and Resurrection and Subsequent Life. All must bow down low before God and accept this born again relationship for God says you won't see God nor His Kingdom without it. 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 in the present Within a Relationship with Him!. Just by being born from Adam, we are responsible 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 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! No religion too! As a popular song lyric puts it *BUT IN GENUINE RELATIONSHIP TO GOD! * The Word of God says God created man in the image and likeness of God. It declares man suffers irreparably from the fall of Adam the first man. Law only shows up our sin. Genesis declares in the account record 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 God said no to eat as a direct command but disobeyed. Man thinks of loopholes first all the time but he was and is still made in God's image in vestiges latent and man thinks, “how do I fix this,” he then made fig leaves to cover his/her skin before Holy God but God made provision to restore man without help from man for that redemption of the likeness and image of God to be returned. God made animal clothes. He slew a sacrifice and it was the first one. Even this expresses the thought more robustly that the Lamb of God was slain from before the Foundation of the world for God provided firstly AN EVERLASTING Covenant by sacrifice and we play a part in it. Even today in this very moment God would love to order your life anew and show you He has a Divine plan for you to live “in the dust of the Rabbi, “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 by God or CPR God performs on you (cardio-pulmonary resuscitation of the heart and life through spirit in-breath or electro-cardio diagnosis that aids in newness of life heart health.) And I can see in my mind's eye in the unknown for me on my plate to believe the likeness aspects of being in-breathed of Father God our Creator in us that He has vested. In His natural creation acts and in the Finished Work on Calvary it was this as well as that done both because of His love Agape for man. 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 passion-shown long suffering persevering Sovereignty and Love. It 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 saving aspect and for us all to happen is my prayer. After being saved God wants to PROVE His people and to test their innocence to unsaved to save many more! Only His saved children get disciplined by Him and that is literally His begotten love! His Kind of Love is Indescribable, Untamable, and we can be motive intended by it! Ask the Savior to save you and make you His! By David Candel

Are We Givers And Movers And Shakers In The Body Of Our Lord Jesus Or Are We Consumers? For When We Know Who We Are We CAN Generously Give!

THE LOVE OF CHRIST COMPELS YOU! 2.7.13 "I'm Forgiven," "Now I have a resaon for living." "Jesus keeps giving and giving, giving 'til my heart overflows," (Russ Taff sings,) Jesus gives empowering. Stir up the Gift of God pumping the bellows up blowing the embers within into flame. Does this need this forgiveness to relate rightly to God occur because we need God all the time? Yes indeed absolutely God is needed and God's forgiveness is needed to have the Ransom Paid to have peace with Him, peace that is eternally satisfying. Jesus gives giving love, joy, and peace within the Kingdom of God to us. That we may be more aware peace, reconciliation, grace, even abundance of mercy with grace by God is provided for. We are unable to please God in our flesh and blood Isaiah 53 tells us and that because of our lower or old nature before salvation which we inherited from Adam. We need forgiveness from God, and indeed we have assurances if we have the Spirit from, the spontaneity of instantaneous erupting born again Zoe life from living that starts once, comes direct from God supernaturally but perseveres lasts forever in fact, (in Christ,) is abundant, a surrendered life generous renewed in spirit with an everlasting zesty quality of life and forever lasting quantity warmth from God alone the Holy Spirit. Jesus said, He came to give us life! Bios is the term for natural life but God gave Zoe or the kind of life from God in giving His Son, Jesus Christ. Jesus said that all His words were Spirit and they were life. He came to give us Abundant life now and Eternal life that starts. Be instant in season to live for God holding sacred godly things letting the big picture of panorama and Christ live big in you. Humbly be realizing your sinful condition before salvation and that it is well with your soul recognizing your true identity changed in Christ. This is sublime! To be Holy Spirit led! Then be counting the cost to be obedient to Christ and be His disciple and to lay it all down at Christ’s feet and rise obedient a disciple full of compassion for others. Even embrace the saving grace of God which is in the grip of the hands of and of the love of our God, Savior, King, and Master even our Friend our Fairest Lord Jesus Christ and worship Him in Earth’s fullness and Heaven’s majestic gladness! For Christ presented His Body and Blood and in our place before the Mercyseat even before the (Ark of the Holy of Holies on its top where the cherubim dwell, in the) Throne-room in the Temple in Heaven of our God to The Heavenly Father Abba! We so then want to receive the certainty of living through His grace of the living riches of His mercy and grace to abundant life in our Lord and God's Fullness, indeed all God has for us by faith!! Who in fact knows the Divine order of God's decrees? But put to yourself the peace of Jesus and remain saved in Christ walking in God's conversational fellowship raised with Christ and seated with Him in the Heaven-lies: all eyes on God all the time! If Heaven is your goal a relationship with our God Maker Heavenly Father Abba is primary. It is a priority to pursue if you haven't asked God for salvation! God loves you! Invitations for you to Himself are self-signatured everywhere in your way. He visited you all through your life and in many ways with common grace (grace commonly known to all mankind,) but you must locally focus desire to a relationship with Him moment by moment that is special to having Him revealed to you to fill the vacuum with Eternity in focus spiritually for you. Access is through Jesus Christ: specifically by the new and living way of His Body and Blood crucified for us on earth and on the cross, even His revolutionary life of 33 and a half years, with which He had Perfectly Anointing Redeeming Blood declared Holy, Righteous. He presented Himself in Blood in our place to the Father Abba God Who sits on the Throne in Heaven through the time or directly after His Exaltation or Glorification from the cross, resurrection and ascension. Christ gave Perfect Righteousness to God the Father being and having sole access to Him. He satisfied God for sin. He propitiated. He sat down at God the Father’s right side in Heaven (meaning the Work is Finished-Done.) I Corinthians 15:1-8; Eph. 1,2; Hebrews 9-13. Many of us have taken in hand to mine a walk with God with an image of Who God really Is in the Word and yet we did not have a godly parent nor example of Holiness to follow so a balanced view of God is skewed for us even of Earthly things to be held loosely and of Heavenly Eternal things held near laid hold of. This ambivalent mind and roaming of hearts in view of earth and sky and how God beyond our galaxy Is the I Am, is impacting our lives adversely from our ungodly past. We certainly need to know more from people whose heritage is godly about the Character of God and Characteristics (of His Names and their meanings,) and as they relate to us. Pray for God's pastors. God is spirit and we must worship Him in Spirit and in Truth John 4 says. He is Spirit. God fills the universe with His Presence. He is exalted above all of creation as Head and not the tail. He stands alone. No equal to the God of the Bible there is. God is light and in Him there is no darkness at all. Light from Him puts the dark out. In His light we see light. When it says God is light and in Him there is no darkness it means there is no sin, evil or death. God is the sum total of everything that is pure and excellent. God is pure and His pure promise is pure in heart will see Him! And His purity is so excellent! The hope of seeing Him purifies. His light swallows up the darkness. He transcends space and time. He’s within creation but above it at the same time. God is Who He Is and He created everything through the Son. He’s within the hearts of believers specially by the sperma or seed of the Word of God by the Spirit. He’s Omnipotent: All-powerful, Omnipresent: Everywhere present, and Omniscient: All-knowing. God is a Person. The Apostle Paul said, "Follow me, as I follow Christ." God has superior attributes in gentleness and gentle behavior as a Person if we delve further. I John 4:4 says, “Whoever does not love does not know God for God is love.” John is saying love expresses the nature of God. Unless God’s love is revealed to us we do not know how to love others. Biblical love involves choice. It is a decision. It is shown in the choices we make on a daily basis. We cannot fathom or comprehend the magnitude of God’s love for us fully. It is high and deep, great and small yet we are daily challenged to overcome with it for we're well able to attain to it truly and swimming in it by faith’s measure and in one’s real experiences. We will swim in the ocean of His love for all Eternity. Do you know how lovingly carefully you're cared for? Do you know God loves you? God is love but love is not God. God’s love indeed can then be all-pervasive and all-encompassing in Christ being all in all and having unending purpose for us but is as we get to know God better surely. As far as expressing God’s Attributes, God’s Holiness, Righteousness, Justice, Mercy, Goodness, Eternity, Faithfulness, do this as well as so does truth. It is important not to de-emphasize His other Attributes when we speak of God‘s love. There is a tendency to over-emphasize God’s attribute of love. When we speak about His love we must balance it with His other attributes. Because when we over-emphasize His love we make Him out to be little sentimental in His love. The Law is our schoolmaster to lead us to Christ. Indeed the power of the Gospel is the Law expresses Him perfectly for it is perfect and good and full of God's glory. God expresses good in His righteousness, justice, and mercy in Old Testament Covenant Law and perfection of the Ten Commandments but He undertakes to cure the effects of the Law on us imperfect humans and sin itself (sin destroying us) by a New Covenant. Love is not love unless it is tested. God does this by individually letting us choose Him, thereby changing us to make us whole born again in newness of life eating from the Tree of Life: Jesus if we take His offer for our own committed path. The Law is there to make the power of sin known as tension which can’t be used for the benefit of others and tension de-activating as to loving brethren and sin as insidious to us because to keep or obey the Law is unattainable in our flesh because the Law works wrath and death,(within and without we’re sin or malice when we attempt to keep.) We fall short of God's glory. No one's hit the mark when they are outside Jesus Christ. Ever heard of, “trying not to think of the pink elephant in the corner of the room?” Romans say, "There is no one righteous, no not one; there is none who seeks after God" But the law of the Spirit of life in Christ Jesus has set us free from the law of sin and death, (and note it is past tense giving us greater assurance of Christ is our victory.) Jesus Christ indeed gives deliverance from sin and takes them (sins) away as far as the east is from west. Jesus kept the Law perfectly. IN the letter and in the spirit of it He is the only example. This fills in flavor to love from God that God sent His Son not sparing came to rescue you. His love should always be emphasized therefore with His other attributes. We learn from God’s other attributes; because He is Holy His love is pure. Because He’s Eternal His love is everlasting and it’s limitless. Because He is just and merciful His love embraces everyone. When we talk about God’s love it is important that God’s love is felt or experienced in light of His Righteousness being revealed and other Attributes. God is Holy and God is Righteous and therefore He will not tolerate sin in our lives. We need the glory of God lifted up high within and high above us and through the Heavens so we may be empowered in the Work and the Person of Christ alone from the cross and Empty Tomb to move in Him. His glory seen by us in us helps so we can follow the righteousness which is in Christ alone, as a disciple of His by the Holy Spirit. So how do we get to know God first? Let God drop into your spirit, “I want to know you God!“ and pursue God putting the pedal to the metal or with passion let on that you desire to know Him through Christ that much more. Live it out. Knowledge is through relationship. We can’t fully know everything about God but through His Son and His Attributes we can know enough to fully relate to Him. Instantaneously God can touch you until you know with unction a drama about to happen an anointing that remains and that will teach you. In your conversations of fellowship with God let Him in on all your doing or being. Let Him near you, let Him search your heart forgive the wrongs you’ve done, and let you back into His communing, and taking time to submit to Him submissive in reality for receiving forgiveness and for God to know you through a prayer closet. A sad face is good for the heart, Ecclesiastes declares if you need help. Realize the Work of the Cross Jesus Died upon is a Word to you Finished and Fragrance smelling good in its scent of good because it’s so excellently good (Charisma,) (God’s grace gifts - smells like good perfume scent.) Recognize again Jesus arose from the dead! God spoke through the St. Apostle Paul saying, “as to the Gospel of God I am a debtor or preacher under obligation to all men to preach it,” Romans 1, "yes, woe is me if I don't." This is Eternal life that they may know Thee the only true God and Jesus Christ Whom You have sent I John 1. John prays and Jesus prays and prayed for you in Gethsemane and for all believers everywhere interceding for us to come and He ever lives to intercede on our behalf to be sanctified, and to follow after Him by the Holy Spirit. God has no pleasure in the death of the wicked. Let that sink in. He is longsuffering us-ward but not willing any should perish and so is patiently encouraging of us as well to seek Him and His face: His Kingdom. Precious is the death of the saints in the sight of the Lord. He can keep you from failing or falling to arrive blameless in Him (into Heaven.) He is your provision in all types of Affliction: Godly Provision Matt. 6:33. In suffering God's Judgment is God’s Holy all seeing eye so we perish in being human a sinful weak vessel as somehow changed by grace. We perish because of sins, and the Word of God in fact says there is otherworldliness where it says in Romans 5:7 "In due time Christ died for the-ungodly," and 5:8, God so loved us "While we were still sinners (and enemies of God) Christ died for us!" Such love! Who will lay a charge to God’s elect. It is God Who justifies. Nothing can I’m persuaded can nor ever will separate us from the love of God which is in Christ Jesus our Lord. Let’s seek Him every place we cautiously place our feet with the whole heart, strength, mind, and spirit as creation made by Him in His re-image. Even being made and re-made fully aware of God’s love for us as God does love us unconditionally He does not want our sacrifice as Saul the King inappropriately gave partial obedience. He wants our body for service voluntarily (Rom. 12:1, 2) and our heart’s devotion to Him in Christ. By His Grace God brought the Sacrifice through Christ (Eph. 2:7, 8, 9!) He wants us. Do you hear that in your soul? He’s safe but also untamable. His grace magnified does it all in us as we co-labor with Him pleasing Him alone not man. But do you hear the still small Voice of God deeply to obey? Hear His Voice, first His impressions in the Word of God. Bear your brother or sister in the Lord up in your spirit knowing being saved and born again is by God's grace and be in prayer if you are beginning to know God first as a saved person. The sacrifices of God are a gentle a quiet spirit or a broken and right spirit. Repentance of the heart, the will is the perfect will of God for us. Walking within with God has this profit. Externals follow. Follow through after mental assent and commitment to in the Story of Jesus in the Bible. Salvation is asking Jesus inside. Come in to Him at the cross by realizing He died for you you incorporating God's action in this for you (He saving you.) God puts together the broken pieces of that which we are when we are releasing what is in our hand to Him. "Rend your hearts and not your garments," the Prophet is saying. God's Word teaches us that what is inside, “the thing in hand,” Watchman Nee called it, is really to be taken priority under His Lordship to be released. This occurs through a release of the Spirit or decision to do it. Whatever it is standing in the way of His Lordship He wants our heart in this. He wants what is inside of us which will come out of us down the road later on. Is your life living water to others to drink? Is it freeing your hands for greater use? Is it healing flowing? Does it heal others goodly? Exalt Christ? God wants our identity in Christ to be about doing good healing people. Therefore this life is about of shalls and not defined as shalt nots. God wants friends of us and friends and sons and daughters in rightness even the rightness of our honest surrender, and subjection or submission to Him. God imputes and imparts the relationship even the substitution of HIS… Excellent Right Living for our sins, and not for us to become slaves of sin nor slaves of this world’s "stinkin' thinking," as Joyce Meyer says, anymore. And this He did. He being God’s Substitute in our place Died for our sins indeed for the sins of the whole world. Philippians 3 explains to abide in Christ in absolute surrender having asked Him to live inside once and saved. Washed in the Blood, we’re sanctified! Sin wants to rule us but we must master it. Even as ruler of us and in our hearts is the Lord Jesus Christ now, so He is Lord over us and over sin and God wills His ruler-ship as we obey all aspects of morality in the Word and out of the Word as saved individuals. We abstain from its appearance. We also are letting Him rule us Holy Romans 5, 6. Holiness can be a great and utter relief! Sin shall not rule over you for you are not under its rulership but under grace. Grace rules now. It is the power (dunamis) of God to obey. But he that sins is the servant of sin it says in Ezekiel, Romans, etc. but Holiness is a gift from God on the other hand. One pays wages of sin which is death (from sin, and serving sins) the other receiving Christ receives a gift its end Holiness leading to Everlasting life (from the gift of God in Jesus Christ.) We don’t try to impress anyone or God with our performance or good deeds but we know the Savior by grace through faith. We should not pivot on anything particularly but Christ’s intended action leaning toward us in bringing purpose (to us,) nor proceed like we don't know that there is pleasure in sin for a season but that to neglect it is paramount. But indeed as Moses abstained from the pleasures of sin in Egypt He was seeing a vision from Heaven. He was experiencing present active indicative beliefs, Pistes in Greek, as seeing Him Who is Invisible. In Hebrews 11 it says with God’s help He regarded the Word of God sacred, Holy, and precious and abstained from /neglected sin. Egypt has always been a symbol of the world in the Word of God. “Love not the world,“ John’s letter says as well as James‘ Book, "neither the things that are in the world." O Christian my plea is that you let the word of God dwell in you richly as Colossians says. To hide the Word in the heart is often knowing of God right ever increasing in it. But if any man be “in Christ,” (He/She is forgiven ;) he/she is a new creature, a new creation, the old has disappeared, THE NEW has come. Grace is the key to Christian walk and unlocking the forgiveness UNLOCKED already in Jesus Christ, God's Tender Son: It’s symbol; God’s Love: it‘s conduit. Begin to know Who God Is in the Bible by the way He Acts, His Stories, His Epiphany, Christ Appearances, Will, and His Way in the Bible, God‘s Holy Word. “He that has clean hands and a pure heart shall grow stronger,“ the Psalms says. And when you pass in death, God's Word the Bible says, God looks up in the books He’s written of your life even The Lamb’s Book: He wants to see if the name that is yours is still in the Lamb’s Book of Life. Live life through the eyes of God’s lens or in Christ’s Finished Work washing one another‘s feet saved a disciple seing one another as God sees. We want to feel as God feels and think after His thoughts. We decide by faith to believe the Gospel that it included you and me when Jesus calls and chooses His own and so we go after God's plan for our lives. God confirming His will by God sanctifying you transforming you as you come to Jesus Christ through the Word to meet through prayer God daily face to face through His Voice and Way, this is good. And begin by seeing yourself belonging to His Family as saved children. Spot check your own life. Having compassion of oppressed love God by grace through faith in the Finished Work of Christ is your daily mood. He paid for you in your sins by His Death, Burial, Resurrection, Ascension, Exaltation, Glorification that happened 2000 years ago. When we say these things we are on sound foundation! Salvation is the Gift of God not of works not of ourselves lest any man should boast; that’s in Ephesians.2:7, 8,9,10. “Paid in full.“ No if’s ands or buts, but like a ring on a bell God performs heart surgery and giving you a life preserver called salvation that reads, “Paid, the bill is paid!” Just call on Jesus. Call on His Name. And O the truckload of benefits to a person's name when a person of reputation is named smelling good! The same is with God's Name and Jesus'! Everything in Jesus’ Name gets applied to us by faith. We acknowledge faith in God and in His Name for believing Christian living. Don’t try to battle or change right now. God will transform us in holiness and rightness of the truth down the road. He will give you clothing of right living you must put it on. But change you can because you are in Christ. In God’s sight the transaction took place. The Deed has been Done and Finished is the Work in the Death of the Son. In the crucible of living which is trials of life God purifies you from the dross the impurities which He skims off the top. First your position then your experience but no formula. Sometimes over and over the dross comes off the melting gold James 1:3, 12, 14. We labor for grace to enter His rest for grace will be sufficient where we’re in the Potter‘s Hands. “Charisma’ is the Greek word for grace gifts and in the time of the early church it meant, a scent or smelling good fragrance surrounding one's actions which is a quality of good. After smelling oneself confessing you have been wrong before God and making peace with God through spiritually aggreeing with God which is confessing, receiving Resurrected Jesus Christ (His Work, His Person) the Blood of Christ availing that is taking it’s effect, acknowledge the message of Jesus Christ‘s salvation for you. Knowing that without Him we are nothing we press on. We can do nothing without Him indeed its so! But with Him there inside God wants/desires to dwell forever in you and put His Stamp of approval and ownership on you. How should we then live is God’s evidence to Himself at the end and today of His power keeping us. The confirmation of restoration is in the entering in of the Holy Spirit in you with fullness the seal with the evidence of speaking in other tongues, fruit of love, and eventual transformation of a true Biblical change to a Holy life. Reconciliation is the 'victim' of sin, God, forgives and we the perpetraitors repent. The world knows us believers by a Christian life. In the Holy Spirit we have transformation from faith to faith and so a turning and a change of lifestyle ensues. Evident realism is we first come to Jesus Christ His way which is the way of His Blood and Body for us through the Spirit. The Sinless Lamb of God as your life Who takes away the sins of the world gives life to us from Whom we have Blood Covenant. Even a human will is not put in effect until a death of the one making the will. God is the one making the New Testament in His Blood. He promises to complete His work He started in you until that Day He comes back again to takes you home! Faithfully He calls; He will bring it to pass. He forgives and so we then forgive freely anyone who has harmed us with tenderheartedness. We must endure to the end persevering believing even through temptations. THROUGH is the emphatic word. Jesus Christ is the destination. Let our lights shine being witnesses, ministers to what the Lord can do! There is so much more to the Abundant Life than mere forgiveness. God calls to fellowship. A Sweet Great Fellowship indeed! A Feast at the Table in the wilderness with Jesus! Even a table set before us in the Presence of our enemies. Everlasting Forever God kind of life, for all Eternity in quality/quantity for us has begun! And of this life of mercy, action, and peace we’re bond-slaves of His. We have emptied our wills of desires and wants and plans&obey the Resurrected Spirit of Jesus’ as friend and bond-slave indeed aware of all God won at the cross. The Spirit of life in Christ Jesus sets us free. No condemnation now I dread from a cracked law of sin and death. Do you have a balanced view of Who God Is? Remember He’s a good Father! Abba is how God wants you to think of Him! It means "Daddy!" Or "Papa O My Papa!" Jesus introduced much of that beloved feel, that God is our Heavenly Dad totally good and even goodness to us in His correction of us. It’s all good. He would never withhold anything good from us in His timing if it were not good to us! If we could only grasp the personal and supernatural person of Who God is. Whoever is forgiven much will love much! Take heed how you hear! To him who has more shall more be given! Christ has been made to us a fragrant offering, a Charisma, a grace, a Gift, payment for our sins. It is grace smelling good and fragrant smelling with mercy abundant as at first. Grace is getting what you don’t deserve and mercy is not getting what you do deserve. We deserve punishment literally eternally for our sins but…God, but God Who is rich in His great mercy extravagance from Him gave us a living hope, confident assurance, “for He knows our frame, He remembers that we are but dust.” Psalm 103. We can never ever exhaust God’s mercy. God’s mercy is so abundant we can never ever tell of its end nor see its end coming. God is fair and will make (it) up to us from our sorrows, disappointments, our struggles; mercifully He’ll make it up very indeed alright to us when this life is through (usefully ended,) physically. But you have to have Jesus Christ inside for it for glorifying God alone. It’s not fire insurance but it does pay Eternal good even abundant life in the Son dividend great to the Body of Christ as we sacrifice obey and live humbly for Him. What we do after meeting the real Christ is of love. He is lifted up by us and we humble ourselves under His mighty hand and are benefited in His due time His way. Follow Christ's words implicitly. Explicitly live then out in the open. Each one’s gift is duly enhanced intact functioning to help stir up the gift of the many to function equipped and tooled with the right tool belt be ready, that the many more might be saved. Jesus was God and equality with God was not something He grasped but… emptied Himself of His privileges and prerogatives in dynamic Holiness. One thus sees we must eat Christ’s flesh and drink His Blood spiritually speaking. His flesh is meat indeed and His Blood, drink indeed. He stayed right in His heart and mind and so should we too. He stayed at the altar. Through great ethical deep dependence on and relying love on the Father and the Holy Spirit He aimed and hit every time THE PLEASING of His Father God Supreme and love-others in compassion Supreme. He could let faithfully grace and mercy as His privilege companion so at His right side rest ready lest a time of need overtake, resume sentry duty because He wanted to obey TO PLEASURE His Heavenly Father through the Holy Spirit even the death on a cross. Buried like Jonah was in a fish for three days so God Resurrected Jesus Christ after three days and Raised Him by the Power of the Father’s GLORY and Word! "Jesus keeps giving and giving, giving ‘til my heart overflows!" He gives redemption, having paid the Ransom the invoice for sin giving us receipt instead of bill, (we would have had to pay it ourselves,) to own us. And He gave to us perfect access right into the Father’s Throne-room. You better believe it! His Resurrection is the most well documented fact in history as it becomes His Revelation in light! It’s Life in/through the Son! Right believing will bring right living through the Lamb! Where sin abounds, grace does much more abound! And through the super Holy Spirit a bone fide member of the Trinity God loves you great Eph. 2:1-4! This fear aspect of not believing God by fear of works of eye service being rejected is mercifully met eye to eye with love where one presents oneself a living sacrifice and empties oneself of one’s will like in the kenosis in Jesus of one’s will and worships God in fullness in acceptance in the Beloved with every ounce of umph they have. Entering in the veil we draw near to God extrovert through the Son!! And we can be used by God anytime, having rid us of what was, "the thing in hand," to Christ's Lordship. It’s righteous worship like the Alabaster Jar we break on His feet is New Covenant worship as we draw our hearts near and indeed we can! Follow Jesus, disciples of His words, attitudes, and thoughts, ever full of the Spirit, practical! Will you come to Jesus Christ today and be saved? God will make you glad! He will bring out the best and in the light! He will transform your dead works to serve the Living God acceptably with godly fear! Your conscience will become sensitive to truth in a new and HOPEFUL way! In truth He will sensitize you to the very sensitivity to sensitive Holy acts of Jesus and to the sensitivity to the sensitive Holy Spirit. God tore apart the veil in the Temple from top to bottom to open God’s Presence when Jesus Died to us! Wow! That was an amazing feat. He will take the stony heart out of you and give you a heart of flesh. He will write the law of God within and without on the fleshy tablets of our heart. He will change you from glory to glory and from faith to faith to more, and there’s more: He’ll also restore, comfort, and give you peace redeeming you (from a locust’s devour,) giving you Eternal Zoe life, lasting comfort, forever: Everlasting life with God's genus and Divinity challenge. So begin to attend a Bible believing Church, Pray every day, Read the scripture, God's Holy Word the Bible all the way through and specially the Gospels of Luke, John, Matthew, and Mark, and Letters of Paul up to Revelation. Look into God’s eyes every moment and bask there in awestruck acceptance. As you read it, yes read that look in His eyes generously, lengthen and multiply your stay and stare there until you mirror it in your soul and reflect in it, you reflecting perfectly, God loves me! You'll want to do the right thing. Only what’s inspected will last or change. Witness to others of your salvation and passion for faith in Jesus and do it daily. You’ll find a way for God supplies to give God your best and let your surrender humbly be yours. Like Caleb ask God for things and/or an inheritance like in the diverse Family, the Body of Christ. Jesus will never leave you nor forsake you. Let His Kingdom grow in you and in your midst. Trust in Him forever! “He will look you squarely in your eye in love and say, “I accept you, go and do that for others.“ Dave Candel This is my testimony as I live in our town of Franklin Square at Bethel Assembly of God Church in 2013 in the year of our Lord Jesus Christ.

As To Sin Is There A Cure As To Its Destructive Effect

Is there a way to curb unscrupulous behavior in adults? Earl S. Wynn 8 hours ago on hub pages.com Legislation just does not do the trick, and (in my opinion) it's wrong to lock someone up for doing something immoral (that does not hurt anyone, at least.) It seems the only other option is education, but even then, it is hit or miss. Asked by Earl so Dave Candel writes: to answer: Not necessarily but however the transformation Christ gives by the transfer of His life is real and effective in its results. By conversion of God coming into one's life even Jesus Christ to take over the heart devotion one can truly experience a supernatural transformation that is sweeping and completely whole occurs. Is there a Balm in Gilead? In The New Testament the salvation of born again experience giving newness of life to someone occurs as God and the man or woman cooperate in not religion but relationship pursuing the relationship with Christ believing God is real and knowable personally. But for it to actually bring the results God wants His will must be met, loved and desired ahead of your own and there must be faithfulness so that there has to be a change of mind and thinking by grace through faith in transformation from glory to glory, as one turns to God for help, admits they are wrong, before God alone and sinful nature, (unable to please God in yourself.) Then one accepts Christ inside Lord and Savior as He Finished His Work of Atoning Sacrifice by His Death on the cross to become sin and specifically our yours and mine sin. And the substitute with its penalty for you with a carried out sentence in our place was completed by Jesus Christ. And thus Jesus saved us by His vicarious birth, life, Death, burial, and Resurrection, & Glorification! In addition, va- oi-la you are saved in God's Sight some 2000 years later having glimpsed His Kingdom and asked Him to forgive you and save you. You believe the Bible and from then on in the words of this Book the words but specially the Person of Christ change you metamorphuo in Greek in your thinking. And literally you are sanctified or changed you in your heart instantaneously to instead serve the living God. By daily reading the Bible and prayer, and fellowship with God, one on one, interacting one converses with God the Person supernaturally and naturally intimately as a friend to their face. God cleans up behavior in time but most of all gets to the root where the problem of man's nature lies and fixes it. He gives a new heart, a new spirit, and a new nature, newness of life! II Cor 5:17. He takes the old heart out. He writes the law of God in the fleshy tables of your heart. He cleanses the conscience to serve the Living God. You become more of whom you are and were meant to be in light. It is more than insurance against hell fire but a new journey adventure of eating at God’s Table where there is ways bounty! And Store! Inheritance! Peace! Come as you are. He takes care of the rest. It is real and it is God's will for you to be born again. "Whosoever" wills may come. You are 'that' free to choose eternal destiny. I was amazed at four I had that power. He delivers out of this world's system into God's Kingdom. We walk as children of light having believed His light!
 

FORGIVEN! THEN JUSTIFICATION TO LIFE! SANCTIFIED! (revised)

FORGIVEN! THEN JUSTIFICATION TO LIFE! SANCTIFIED! THE LOVE OF CHRIST COMPELS YOU! Forgiven. Sanctified. Jesus keeps giving and giving, until my heart overflows: empowering. Stir up the Gift of God within. Does this need this forgiveness to relate richly to God occur because we need God all the time? Yes indeed absolutely God's forgiveness is needed to have the Ransom Paid to have peace with Him. That we may be more aware of reconciliation, grace, even abundance of grace is needed. We are totally unable to please God in our flesh and blood Isaiah 53 tells us because of lower or old nature before salvation. We need forgiveness, the spontaneity of instantaneous erupting born again life living that starts once, but lasts forever, a surrendered life renewed in spirit with everlasting life and forever from God alone. Be instant in season to live for God letting Him live in you. And to be humbly realizing our sinful condition before salvation is well. This is sublime! Holy Spirit led! To be counting the cost to obey Christ and be His disciple and to lay it down at Christ’s feet and rise obedient. Even to embrace the saving grip of the hand of the love of our Savior, King, and Master even our Friend the Fairest Lord Jesus Christ and worship Him in Earth and Heaven! For He presented His Blood and Body in our place before the Seat before the Throneroom of our Heavenly Father Abba! We so then want to receive the grace of His even the riches of His grace to Abundance!! Who knows the order of God's decrees? But put to yourself the peace of Jesus and remain raised with Christ and seated with Him in the Heavenlies! If Heaven is your goal a relationship with God Our Maker Heavenly Father Abba is primary, a priority! God loves you! Access is through Jesus Christ by the new and living way of His Body that was spent for us on earth and on the cross, even His revolutionary life for 33 and a half years, and Perfect Blood He presented in our place to the Father Abba God Who sits on the Throne in Heaven through His Exaltation or Glorification for He sat down at Father’s right side in Heaven (meaning the Work is Finished-Done.) I Corinthians 15:1-8; Hebrews 9-13. Many of us have taken to mine a conflicting image of Who God really Is because we did not have a godly parent nor example of Holiness to follow and so a balanced view of God is skewed for us and of Earth and Heavenly Eternal things. This ambivalent view of earth and sky and beyond to even God Himself is going to impact our lives adversely. We need to know more of the Character of God and Characteristics (His Names and their meanings,) and as they relate to us. God is spirit and we must worship Him in Spirit and in Truth John 4 says. He is Spirit. He fills the universe. He is exalted above all of creation. He stands alone. There is no equal to the God of the Bible. God is light and in Him there is no darkness at all. When it says God is light and in Him there is no darkness it means there is no sin, evil or death. God is the sum total of everything that is pure and excellent. God is pure and the promise of God is the pure in heart will see Him! And His purity is excellent! The hope of seeing Him purifies. He is transcendent, within creation but above it. He created everything. He’s outside it and within the hearts of believers specially. He’s Omnipotent: All-powerful, Omnipresent: Everywhere present in His Presence, and Omniscient: All-knowing. He is a Person. I John 4:4 says, “Whoever does not love does not know God for God is love.” It is saying love expresses the nature of God. Unless God’s love is revealed to us we do not know how to love others. Biblical love involves choice. It is a decision. It is shown in the choices we make on a daily basis. We cannot fathom or comprehend the magnitude of God’s love for us. It is high and we are well able to attain it (in faith’s measure.) God is love but love is not God. God’s love can be all-pervasive in everything but is as we know God better. As far as expressing God’s Attributes, God’s Holiness, Righteousness, Justice, Mercy, Eternity, Faithfulness, do this as well and so does truth. It is important not to de-emphasize His other Attributes when we speak of God‘s love. There is a tendency to over-emphasize God’s attribute of love. When we speak about His love we must balance it with His other attributes. Because when we over-emphasize His love we make Him out to be little sentimental in His love. The Law is our schoolmaster to lead us to Christ but the power of the Gospel is the Law expresses Him perfectly for it is perfect and good. He Himself expresses good in His righteousness, love and mercy in it and He undertakes to cure the effects of the Law and sin itself to make us whole born again in newness of life eating from the Tree of Life: Jesus. The Law is there to become the power of sin because to keep or obey it is unattainable in our flesh and it works death, (within and without we sin when we attempt to keep.) We fall short of God's glory. No one hit’s the mark when they are outside Jesus Christ is a fact. But the law of the Spirit of life in Christ Jesus has set us free from the law of sin and death, (and note it is past tense giving us greater assurance of Christ is our victory.) His love should always be emphasized with other attributes. We learn from God’s other attributes, because He is Holy His love is pure. Because He’s Eternal His love is everlasting and it’s limitless. Because He is just and merciful His love embraces everyone. When we talk about God’s love it is important that God’s love is felt or experienced in light of His other Attributes. God is Holy, God is Righteous and therefore He will not tolerate sin in our lives. We need the glory of God lifted up within and high above and through the Heavens so we may be empowered by the Work and Person of Christ inside residing and so we can follow the righteousness which is in Christ alone, a disciple of His by the Holy Spirit. So how do we get to know God first? Let God drop into your spirit, “I want to know you God!“ We can’t fully know everything about God but through His Son and His Attributes we can know enough to fully relate to Him. In your conversations with God let Him in on all your doing or being, and letting Him near, search your heart forgive the wrongs you’ve done, and get back into His good graces, and take time to submit to Him submissive for receiving forgiveness and to know you through your prayer closet of praying. Realize the Work of the Cross is a Word to you Finished and Fragrance in its scent of good because its so good (Charis.) God through Paul says, “the Gospel of God I am a debtor to all men to preach,” Romans 1. This is Eternal life that they may know Thee the only true God and Jesus Christ Whom You have sent I John 1. Jesus prays and prayed in Gethsemane for us and He ever lives to intercede on our behalf to be saved and follow after Him. God has no pleasure in the death of the wicked. Let that sink in. He is longsuffering us-ward but not willing any perish and so encouraging of us as well to seek Him and His face. He can keep you from failing or falling. He is your provision. God’s all seeing eye we perish because of sins, and the Word of God in fact says otherworldliness when it says in Romans 5:7 "In due time Christ died for the-ungodly," and 5:8, "While we were still sinners (and enemies of God) Christ died for us!" Such love! Let’s seek Him with the whole heart, mind, and spirit as creation man made by Him bears His image. Even being fully aware of God’s love for us as God does love us unconditionally He does not want our sacrifice alone after salvation to look upon to receive His promises. He wants our body for service voluntarily(Rom. 12:1,) but His Grace brought the Sacrifice (Eph. 2:7,8,9!) He wants us. Do you hear that? He’s safe and also untamable. His grace does it all as we co-labor pleasing Him alone not man. But hear the still small Voice of God when you hear His first impressions in the Word of God. You can bear your brother or sister in the Lord up in your spirit if you are beginning in prayer by getting to know God improved. The sacrifices of God are a gentle and/or quiet spirit and/or a broken and right spirit. Repentance of the heart, the will is the perfect will of God for us. Externals follow. Follow through after mental assent and commitment to in the Story of Jesus in the Bible. God puts together the broken pieces of who we are when we are releasing what is in our hand to Him. Rend your hearts and not your garments God's Word teaches us that what is inside is really taken priority for us in Christ. He wants our heart. He wants what is inside of us which will come out of us later on. Is it living water to others? Does it heal others? Exalt Christ? God wants friends of us and friends and sons and daughters in rightness even the rightness of our subjection or submission to Him. This goes to even the substitution of HIS… Excellent Right Living for our sins, and not for us to become slaves of sin nor slaves of this world’s thinking anymore. And this He did. He Died for the sin of the whole world. Philippians 3 explains to remain in Christ. Washed in the Blood, we’re sanctified! Even as ruler of us and in our hearts the Lord Jesus Christ, and as Christ is Lord over us over sin God wills His ruler-ship as we obey all aspects of morality in the Word and out of the Word as saved individuals. We also are letting Him rule us holy Romans 5,6. Holiness can be a great utter relief! But he that sins is the servant of sin it says in Ezekiel, Romans, etc. but Holiness is a gift from God on the other hand. One pays wages of death (from sin,) the other Everlasting life (from the gift of God in Jesus Christ.) We don’t try to impress anyone or God with our performance but we know the Savior by grace through faith. And we should not pivot on anything but Christ’s intended action toward us in bringing purpose (to us,) nor proceed like we don't know that there is pleasure in sin for a season and that to neglect. But indeed as Moses abstained from the pleasures of sin in some complete vision he was experiencing as seeing Him Who is Invisible with God’s help knowing they were but for a short season (in Egypt) even so should we too however regard the Word of God precious and abstain/neglect sin. Egypt has always been a symbol of the world in the Word of God. “Love not the world,“ John’s letter says as well as James. O Christian let the word of God dwell in you richly. It will keep you from sin. But if any man be “in Christ,” (He/She is forgiven;) he/she is a new creature, a new creation, the old has disappeared, THE NEW has come. Grace is the key to Christian walk and unlocking forgiveness UNLOCKED in Jesus Christ and Tender Mercies; God’s Love: it‘s conduit. Begin to know Who God Is by the way He Acts, His Stories, His Epiphany, Christophany, Will, and His Way in the Bible, God‘s Holy Word. When you pass to Heaven someday, God's Word says, God looks up in the books and The Lamb’s Book to see if the name that is yours is still in the Lamb’s Book of Life. Hint, Live life through God’s lens or eyes in Christ’s Finished Work washing one another‘s feet. We decide by faith to believe the Gospel that it included you and me when Jesus calls and chooses His own and go after God's plan for ourselves by God sanctifying you transforming you as you come to Jesus Christ to meet through prayer God daily face to face. And begin by belonging to His Family having compassion loving by grace through faith in the Finished Work of Christ to pay for your sins by His Death, Burial, Resurrection, Ascension, Exaltation, Glorification in the NOW moment. When we say these things we are on sound foundation! Salvation is the Gift of God not of works not of ourselves lest any man should boast; That's in Ephesians.2:7,8,9,10. He saves putting grace to us or a scent/fragrance of newness of life to ‘smell‘ of goodness! It is our profession of good works in Christ God in ordained for us to walk. There is a Throne-room in the Heaven God puts down in Himself for this person to have (happen) who is asking for the saving of him/her, “Paid in full.“ No if’s ands or buts, but like a ring in a bell God performs heart surgery giving a life preserver called salvation. Just call on Jesus. Call on His Name. There is a lot to a person's name and what's behind it. The same is with God's Name and Jesus'! We acknowledge faith in God for believing Christian living but don’t need to change right now because God will transform us. But change we must. In God’s sight the transaction took place. The Deed has been Done And Finished in the Death of the Son. In the crucible which is trials of life God purifies you from the dross in you for first your position comes then your experience in temporality with God in this earth. Sometimes over and over the dross comes off James 1:3, 12, 14. We labor for grace in His rest to enter it for grace will be sufficient in the Potter‘s Hand. “Charis’ is the Greek word for grace and in the time of the early church it meant, “a scent or fragrance which a quality of good work,“ and it “smells good!“ After confessing you have been wrong before God and making peace with God through spiritually receiving Resurrected Jesus Christ (His Work, His Person) the Blood of Christ availing that is taking it’s effect, acknowledge Jesus Christ‘s message of salvation for you, knowing then that without Him we are nothing. We can do nothing indeed its so. But with Him there God wants/desires to dwell forever in you and put His Stamp of approval and ownership on you. How we live is God’s evidence to Himself then and to us of His power keeping us. God imparts and imputes our lifestyle in Christ before others and before Him in being saved if we let Him in from in submission to obedience to the Holy Spirit at conversion. Confirmation of restoration is in the entering in of the Holy Spirit in you full with the evidence of fruit of love and the Baptism in the Holy Spirit. In the Holy Spirit we have transformation and so a changed lifestyle ensues. Evidence of this is we first come to Jesus Christ His way which is the way of His Blood through the Spirit then this profession is positional standing God imparts and imputes to you both to will and to do in/to you of His good pleasure. You allow God first place within in every decision. Its by your faith in the Lord Jesus Christ, The Sinless Lamb of God as your life Who takes away the sins of the world that He gave it us freely from Whom we have Blood Covenant of this life in the Son. He promises to complete His work He started in you until that Day He comes again to takes you home! We forgive freely anyone who has harmed us or offended us. We must endure to persevere believing to the end even through temptation. THROUGH is the important word here. Jesus Christ is the destination. Let our lights shine being witnesses, ministers to what the Lord can do! There is so much more to the Abundant Life Christ pro-offers complete than mere forgiveness imparts as eating at God's Table imparts and impacts too and in the enjoying moment by moment of His Great Fellowship like Abraham or Daniel or David did. This can be a black tie affair with limousine service in class! A Great Fellowship indeed! A Feast at the Table in the wilderness with Jesus! Even a table set before us and our enemies. Forever, Eternally! We live in the Presence of God in Christ in and through the Spirit of the Lord Jesus Christ and it is a life of mercy, action, and peace: bond-slaves of His having emptied of our wills of our desires and plans to obey the Resurrected Jesus’ Spirit as friend and bond-slave indeed then on. Do you have a balanced view of Who God Is or are you maybe having a slavish view of God from the world? "Abba" is how God wants you to think of Him! It means "Daddy!" Or "Papa O My Papa!" Jesus introduced much of that beloved feel, that God is our Father totally good and even good in His correction of us. It’s all good to us. Whoever is forgiven much will love much! Take heed how you hear! To him who has more shall more be given! Christ has made to us a fragrant offering, a Charis, an Overpayment for our sins. It is grace smelling good over and above with mercy overabundant. Grace is getting what you don’t deserve and mercy is not getting what you do deserve. We deserve punishment literally eternally for our sins but…God, but God Who is rich in His great mercy extravagance from Himself gave us a living hope, confident assurance, “for He knows our frame, He remembers that we are but dust.” Psalm 103. We can never ever exhaust God’s mercy. God’s mercy is so abundant we can never tell of its end nor see its end coming. God is fair and will make (it) up to us from our sorrows, disappointments, our struggles; mercifully He’ll make it up very indeed alright to us when this life is through physically. But you have to have Jesus Christ inside for it (for glorifying God alone,) or you‘ll get weighed in the balances and found wanting. It’s not fire insurance but it does pay Eternal good even dividend to the Body of Christ as we give up houses for Him. And He is lifted up and we are benefited as each one’s gift is intact to help the many function equipped and tooled, that the many more might be saved. Jesus was God and equality with God was not something He grasped but… emptied Himself of His privileges and prerogatives to live dynamically in Holiness with loud cries and tears in order to save Himself and then us. Through great ethical deep dependence and relying love on the Father and the Holy Spirit He aimed and hit every time THE PLEASE of His Father God Supreme and love others Supreme. He could have grace and mercy as His privilege and prerogative so at His right side ready lest a time of need overtake, because He wanted to obey, (not only obey,) but TO PLEASURE His Heavenly Father through the Holy Spirit even to the death on a cross. Buried like Jonah God Resurrected Jesus Christ and Raised Him by the Power of the Father’s Word! Jesus gives redemption, having paid the Ransom to own us, and gave to us perfect access right into the Father’s Throne-room. You better believe it! His Resurrection is the most well documented fact in history! It’s Life in/through the Son! Right believing will bring right living through the Lamb! Where sin abounds, grace does super-abound! And Remember God loves you Eph. 2:1-4! This fear aspect of believing God by severe and harsh fear is met eye to eye when one empties oneself of one’s will like in the kenosis in Jesus of one’s will and worships God in fullness with everything they have extrovert through the Son!! It’s righteous worship like the Alabaster Jar we break on His feet is worship if we can draw close! Follow Jesus, disciples of His words, attitudes, and thoughts, ever full of the Spirit, practical! Will you come to Jesus Christ today and be saved? God will gladden you: He will transform your dead works by way of awakening conscience to serve the Living God acceptably with godly fear! Your conscience will become sensitive to truth in a newness. In truth He will sensitize you to the very sensitivity to be sensitive to the sensitive Holy Spirit. God tore apart the veil in the Temple from top to bottom to open God’s Presence when Jesus Died! Wow! That was an amazing feat. He will take the stony heart out of you and give you a heart of flesh. He will write the law of God within and without on the fleshy tablets of our heart. He will change you from glory to glory and faith to faith but more, and there’s more: He’ll also restore, comfort, and give you peace redeeming you giving you Eternal life, lasting comfort, forever: Everlasting life with challenge. So begin to attend a Bible believing Church, Pray every day, Read the scripture, God's Holy Word the Bible all the way through and specially the Gospels of Luke, John, Matthew, and Mark, and Letters of Paul up to Revelation. Look into God’s eyes and bask there in acceptance. As you read it lengthen your stay and stare until you mirror it in your soul and reflect it in you. Only what’s inspected will last or change. Witness to others of your salvation and passion for faith in Jesus and do it daily. You’ll find a way God supplies to give God your best and let your surrender humbly be yours. Like Caleb ask God for an inheritance. Jesus will never leave you nor fail you. Trust in Him ever! “He will look you squarely in love in your eye and say, “I accept you, go and do that for others.“ Dave Candel This is my testimony as I live in our town of Franklin Square at Bethel Assembly of God Church in 2013 in the year of our Lord Jesus Christ.

Forgiven? Jesus keeps empowering. Does this need this forgiveness to relate richly to God occur because we need God all the time?
Yes indeed absolutely God's forgiveness is needed to have the Ransom Paid to have peace with Him. We are totally distant, divided, devastated, depraved and unable to please God in our flesh and blood Isaiah 60, 61, 52, 53. We need forgiveness, the spontaneity of instant erupting born again living that starts once, but lasts forever, renewing in spirit everlasting. And to be humbly realizing our sinful condition. This is sublime! To be counting the cost to be His disciple and to lay it down at Christ’s feet and rise obedient. Even the saving love of our Savior and Friend the Lord Jesus Christ! We want to be a receiver of the riches of His grace! Put to yourself the peace of Jesus! If Heaven is your goal a relationship with Our Maker Heavenly Father God is primary, a priority! God loves you! Access is through Jesus Christ by a new and living way of His Body that was spent for us on the cross, His revolutionary life for 33 years, and Blood He presented in our place to the Father God on the Throne in Heaven I Corinthians 15:1-8; Hebrews 9-13.

Many of us have a conflicting image of Who God really Is because we did not have a godly parent nor example of Holiness and so a balanced view of God is skewed for us. This ambivalent view of God is going to impact our lives adversely.

We need to know more of the Character of God and Characteristics (His Names and their meanings,) as they relate to us. God is spirit and we must worship Him in spirit and truth John 4:4. He is Spirit. He fills the universe. He is exalted above all of creation. He stands alone. There is no equal to the God of the Bible. God is light and in Him there is no darkness. When it says God is light and in Him there is no darkness at all it means there is no sin, evil or death. God is the total sum of everything that is pure and excellent. God is pure and the pure in heart will see Him! And His purity is excellent!

I John 4:4 says, “Whoever does not love does not know God for God is love.” It is saying love expresses the nature of God. Unless God’s love is revealed to us we do not know how to love others. Biblical love involves choice. It is a decision. It is shown in the choices we make on a daily basis. We cannot fathom or comprehend the magnitude of God’s love for us.

God is love but love is not God. As far as expressing God’s Attributes, God’s Holiness, Righteousness, Justice, Mercy Faithfulness, do and so does truth. It is important not to de-emphasize His other Attributes when we speak of God‘s love. There is a tendency to over-emphasize God’s attribute of love. When we speak about His love we must balance it with His other attributes. Because when we over-emphasize His love we make Him out to be little sentimental in His love. The Law is our schoolmaster to lead us to Christ but the power of the Gospel is the Law expresses Himself perfectly, and He Himself in His love and mercy undertakes to cure the effects of the Law and sin to make us whole born again.

His love should always be emphasized with other attributes. We learn from God’s other attributes, because He is Holy His love is pure.

Because He’s Eternal His love is everlasting and it’s limitless. Because God is just and merciful His love embraces everyone. When we talk about God’s love it is important that God’s love is seen or experienced in light of His other Attributes.

God is Holy, God is Righteous and He will not tolerate sin in our lives. We need the glory of God lifted up empowered by the Work and Person of Christ so we can follow righteousness in Himself, a disciple of His by the Holy Spirit.

So how do we get to know God first? Let God drop into your spirit, “I want to know you God!“ We can’t fully know everything about God but through His Attributes we can know enough to fully relate to Him. In your conversation with Him let Him in on all your doing or being, letting Him forgive the wrongs done, get and take time to submit to Him receiving forgiveness & know you through your prayer closet. God through Paul says, “honor me in this for the Gospel of God I am a debtor to all men to preach,” Romans 1:8.

This is Eternal life that they may know Thee the only true God and Jesus Christ Whom You have sent I John 1. God has no pleasure in the death of the wicked. Let that sink in. He is longsuffering us-ward but encouraging us as well to seek Himself. God seeing we perish because of sins, the Word of God in fact says otherworldliness when it says in Romans 5:7 "In due time Christ died for the-ungodly," and 5:8, "While we were still sinners (and enemies of God) Christ died for us!" Such love! Even being fully aware of God’s love for us as God does love us unconditionally He does not want our sacrifice alone after salvation to see or receive His promises. His Grace brought the Sacrifice! He wants us. Do you hear that? He’s safe and untamable though. Hear the still small Voice of God when you hear God His impressions in the Word of God. You can bear your brother in the Lord up in your spirit if you are beginning in prayer getting to know God. The sacrifices of God are a gentle and/or quiet spirit and/or a broken heart and right spirit. Repentance of the heart, the will is the will of God for us. Externals follow. Follow through.

God puts together the broken pieces of who we are when we are releasing what is in our hand to Him. Rend your hearts and not your garments God's Word teaches us. He wants our heart. He wants what is inside of us which will come out later on. God wants friends of us and as friends and sons in rightness even the rightness of the submission to substitution of HIS… Excellent Right Living for our sins, not for us to become slaves of sin nor slaves of this world’s thinking anymore Philippians 3. Washed in the Blood, I’m sanctified! Even as ruler of us and in our hearts Lord Jesus Christ, and as Christ is Lord over us over sin God wills His ruler-ship as we obey all aspects of morality in the Word and out of the Word letting Him rule us holily Romans 5,6. He that sins is the servant of sin it says in Ezekiel, Romans, etc. but Holiness is a gift from God. One pays wages of death (from sin,) the other Everlasting life (from the gift of God in Jesus Christ.)

And we should not pivot on anything but Christ’s intention in bringing purpose (to us,) nor proceed like we don't know that there is pleasure in sin for a season to neglect. But indeed as Moses abstained from the pleasures of sin in some complete pattern with God’s help knowing they were but for a short season (in Egypt) even so should we too however regard the Word of God as precious and abstain/neglect from it. Egypt has always been a symbol of the world in the Word of God. “Love not the world,“ John’s letter says as well as James. Christian let the word of God dwell in you richly. But if any man be “in Christ,” He/She is forgiven; he/she is a new creature, a new creation, the old has disappeared, THE NEW has come. Grace is the key which is forgiveness UNLOCKED in Jesus and Tender Mercy; Love it‘s conduit. Begin to know Who God Is by the way He acts, His stories, His epiphany, will, and His way in the Bible. When you pass to Heaven someday, God's Word says, God looks up to see if the name that is yours is in the Lamb’s Book of Life. Hint, Live life through God’s lens.

We decide by faith to believe the Gospel that it included you and me when Jesus calls and chooses His own and go after God's plan for yourselves by God sanctifying you as you come to Jesus Christ to meet through prayer God daily face to face. And to belong to His Family through faith in the Finished Work of Christ to pay for your sins by His Death, Burial, Resurrection, Ascension, Exaltation, Glorification we are on sound foundation!

Salvation is the Gift of God not of works not of ourselves not of works, lest any man should boast! That's in Ephesians.2:7,8,9,10. He saves putting grace to us. There is a Throne-room in the Heaven God puts down in Himself for this person to have happen who is asking for the saving, “Paid in full.“ No if’s ands or buts, like a ring in a bell God gives a life preserver called salvation. We acknowledge faith in God for this but don’t need to change because God will transform us.

But change we must. In God’s sight the transaction took place. The Deed has been Done & Finished in the Death of the Son. In the crucible God purifies you from the dross for first your position comes then your experience in temporality with God in this earth James 1:3, 12, 14.

We labor for His rest to enter it. After confessing you have been wrong before God and making peace with God through spiritually receiving Christ (His Work, His Person) the Blood of Christ availing that is taking it’s effect, acknowledge Jesus Christ‘s salvation for you, knowing that without Him we are nothing, but with Him there is where God wants/desires to dwell forever in you and put His Stamp of ownership on you. How we live is God’s evidence to Himself and us: even of our lifestyle in Christ before others and before Him if we let Him in from then on in submission to obedience to the Holy Spirit. Confirmation of restoration is in the entering of the Holy Spirit in you with the evidence of fruit of love and the Baptism in the Holy Spirit.

Seeing we first come to Jesus Christ His way which is the way of His Blood through the Spirit then this profession is positional standing God imparts and imputes to you both to will and to do in/to you of His good pleasure. Its by your faith in the Jesus Christ, The Sinless Lamb of God as your life Who takes away the sins of the world that we have this life in the Son. He promises to complete His work He started in you until that Day He comes again to takes you home!

We must endure to persevere believing to the end. Let our lights shine witnesses, ministers to what the Lord can do! There is so much more to the Abundant Life Christ pro-offers complete than mere forgiveness imparts as eating at God's Table imparts too and in the enjoying of His Great Fellowship like Abraham or Daniel or David. That can be a black tie affair with limousine service in class! A Great Fellowship indeed! A Feast at the Table in the wilderness! Even a table before our enemies. Forever, Eternally!

We live in the Presence of God in Christ and through the Lord Jesus Christ it is a life of mercy, action, and peace: bond-slaves of His who knew His will (salvation) and having emptied of our wills our desires and plans to have obeyed the Resurrected Jesus’ Spirit as friend and bond-slave then on.

Do you have a skewed or balanced view of Who God Is or are you maybe having a slavish view of God from the world? "Abba" is how God wants you to think of Him! It means "Daddy!" Or "Papa O My Papa!" Jesus introduced much of that beloved feel, that God is our Father totally good and even good in His discipline to us.

Whoever is forgiven much will love much! To him who has more shall more be given! Christ has made indeed to us an Overpayment for our sins. It is grace over and above mercy.

He will change you from glory to glory and faith to faith but more, there’s more: He’ll also restore, comfort, and redeem you giving you Eternal life, lasting comfort forever.

His Resurrection is the most well documented fact in history! Life in/through the Son! Right believing will bring right living through the Lamb! Where sin abounds, grace does super-abound! And Remember God loves you Eph. 2:1-4! This fear aspect of believing God is met when one empties oneself like in the kenosis in Jesus of one’s will and worships God in fullness with everything they have extrovert through the Son!! Like the Alabaster Jar we break on His feet! Follow Jesus, disciples of His words, attitudes, and thoughts, ever full of the Spirit, practical! Will you come to Jesus Christ today and be saved? You’ll be glad you did: He will transform your dead works and dead conscience to serve the Living God! He will sensitize you to the very sensitivity to be sensitive to the sensitive Holy Spirit. God tore apart the veil in the Temple to open God’s Presence when Jesus Died! He will take the stony heart out of you and give you a heart of flesh. He will write the law of God within and without on the stony tablets of our heart. He will change you from glory to glory and faith to faith but more, there’s more: He’ll also restore, comfort, and redeem you giving you Eternal life, lasting comfort forever. So begin to attend a Bible believing Church, Pray every day, Read the scripture, God's Holy Word the Bible all the way through and specially the Gospels of Luke, John, Matthew, and Mark, and Letters of Paul. Look into God’s eyes as you read it until you mirror it in your soul. Witness to others of your salvation faith daily. Find a way God supplies to give God your best and let your surrender humbly be yours. Jesus will never leave you nor fail you. Trust in Him! Dave Candel This is my testimony as I live in our town of Franklin Square at Bethel Assembly of God Church near 2013 in the year of our Lord Jesus Christ. If you prayed and want to know more of Jesus I would be happy to take you personally to Church.

Why Does Life Bring Many Questions?

Is Mother Nature the best answer to life's ambiguities? I think not because There is no end to the conflicts engendered by that evolutionist belief system! God in His Omnipotence Omnipresence, and Omniscience has revealed Himself in the Creation and the Bible. The Bible has been the most widely read Book for millennia! God tells us Who He is in the Bible and His plan for mankind how He wants to keep us if we want it back. When one man Adam fell by disobeying God's commands God Himself reached out by sending His only Beggoten Son becoming one of us and this Man obeyed where the first man fell. God Perfectly wants sons and daughters. Jesus Who is God the Son Died for us becoming sin for us so He as our 'sin-bearer and escape goat: both, Arose from the dead and is Lord over Death, hell, sin, and the grave! After three days He rose again! Forgiveness of sins is preached in His Name! Jesus wants us to spend Eternal time with Him and Heaven! follow God and Jesus! follow after the Holy Spirit! Salvation brings Eternal dividends, receipt for mercies not invoices for sins! Get saved today! It's by coming to God in Jesus weary, worn, and sad and aware of our neediness before God of the cross effects and accepting of Christ's Finished Work at Calvary. You can choose to believe He chose you! And continue!A Beautiful Body of Christ's Believers on Long Island--<--click a="a">

Train Station Blues!

How can I say thanks to God our Heavenly Father? I will Come to drink the cup of salvation and call upon the Name of the Lord! Eat, mungia, my Dad said to me growing. That feast we're going to at the Marriage Supper is going to be tops! Instead of a general announcement of an hour of the start of the great feast it is going to be, we hear a shout, "come, everything is ready!" walk right in and dine at the table!!!!! And yet there is room after seating those who are halt, lame, and blind! So go out to he hedges and highways and compel them to come in!!! There you will find the sinners who are prostitutes and pimps, addicts, and sodomites who need and appeal strongly that they stir their hunger for God! Come in! Be ready! Everything is prepared! Eat! Let's so be feeding those who do eat with God's serving until the master returns and don't get drunk or immoral in any sense! Jesus saves! Let's run to Him! Witness of Jesus' Finished Work on you! Dave C with the Holy Spirit's aid.
