Foundation of Love (Rooted and Grounded in Love)

To stand and be secured in the sure foundation is to be “rooted and grounded in love.”

Something to think on….

Look in to Ephesians 3:14-19, and we find that the family of God that is in heaven and earth is named after God the Father. 

v14-15 For this cause I bow my knees unto the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, Of whom the whole family in heaven and earth is named,…

v17 That Christ may dwell in your hearts by faith; that ye, being rooted and grounded in love, May be able to comprehend (understand) with all saints what is the breadth, and length, and depth, and height: And to know the love of Christ, which passeth knowledge (it is an experience), that ye might be filled with all the fulness of God.

Here… Is the Purpose of God our Father in the working of Jesus Christ….  so He may have a Home.  A Dwelling Place… and We may have a Father & Family… & Friends.

That Foundation of Jesus Christ, God’s Son, God’s Lamb… is our security and assurance to allow God to finish His Will in and through us…. to day.

To KNOW that Love: is to EXPERIENCE His Presence in our Soul and Body, which is that Spirit that Intercedes for ourselves, and for others through us…

To KNOW that Love that will assure us that HIS MIND TOWARDS US is to command His very best for us… IF we will let Him, and IF we will Obey Him.

All of us make mistakes, and mess things up, yet HE IS ABLE to correct and fix our messes, and bring forth HIS PLAN and PURPOSE for each of our lives in this earth.

Be ROOTED and GROUNDED IN HIS LOVE….  Get to KNOW Jesus Christ, not in the letter, but in an ENCOUNTER OF GOD’s WORD that is SPIRIT & LIFE!  JESUS CHRIST is God’s WILL and Purpose of Eternal Life WORKING and BREATHING IN YOU.  This LIFE is RAISING YOU UP OUT OF YOUR DEATH of sin and the GRAVE… To DAY it is being DONE…..  IF YOU will let Him. 

Lay your Life down, and let the Lord BREATH His Son’s Life Into You…. which will RAISE YOU UP and cause you to ENTER your New Life (heaven & earth)… now.   This is receiving your Inheritance… now… today, and not having to wait until you are buried six feet down.  You can receive and Enjoy HIS LIFE to day. 

John 15:9-13  As the Father hath loved me, so have I loved you: continue ye in my love.  If ye keep my commandments, ye shall abide in my love; even as I have kept my Father's commandments, and abide in his love.

These things have I spoken unto you, that my joy might remain in you, and that your joy might be full. This is my commandment, That ye love one another, as I have loved you.

Greater love hath no man than this, that a man lay down his life for his friends.

Amen.

A Sure Foundation

Judges 6:6-22 v20 And the angel of God said unto him, Take the flesh and the unleavened cakes, and lay them upon this rock, and pour out the broth. And he did so.

The Flesh and Body of Jesus Christ was laid on That Rock and the broth was symbolic of His Blood…. Can you hear and see God’s Sign even then…..  Gideon asked for a sign that he was really talking to God, so God’s angel provided one… and I see the revelation of the Son here too. Our Sure Foundation.

Isaiah 28:14-16  v16 Therefore thus saith the Lord God, Behold, I lay in Zion for a foundation a stone, a tried stone, a precious corner stone, a sure foundation: he that believeth shall not make haste.

The foundation in this verse is A STONE…. not many but one tried, corner stone.  Hmmmm….

Matthew 16:15-19  He saith unto them, But whom say ye that I am?  And Simon Peter answered and said, Thou art the Christ, the Son of the living God. And Jesus answered and said unto him, Blessed art thou, Simon Barjona: for flesh and blood hath not revealed it unto thee, but my Father which is in heaven.  And I say also unto thee, That thou art Peter, and upon this rock I will build my church; and the gates of hell shall not prevail against it.  And I will give unto thee the keys of the kingdom of heaven: and whatsoever thou shalt bind on earth shall be bound in heaven: and whatsoever thou shalt loose on earth shall be loosed in heaven.

A Sure Foundation IS the STONE, the ROCK, which is Jesus Christ, the Son of the living God.

But if you’ll notice that once a ‘revelation’ … a revealing of truth is made known to you by the Father, then you are CHANGED, and become One with that revealing/revelation. That’s why Jesus speaks to Simon Barjona and changes his name to Peter.  A change took place within him.

Thus it is, in the renewing of our mind, by the Holy Spirit, for as He speaks and makes known God’s word to us, We Are Changed INTO the Same Image.  Where ever the Lord, that Spirit appears, a change takes place… a birthing of His Divine Nature.

Philippians 3:21 who shall change our vile body, that it may be fashioned like unto his glorious body, according to the working whereby he is able even to subdue all things unto himself.

2 Corinthians 3:18  But we all, with open face beholding as in a glass the glory of the Lord, are changed into the same image from glory to glory, even as by the Spirit of the Lord.

Now, back to the foundation, which is that Rock upon which we stand…. There are multitudes of revelations here if you will allow the Father to reveal the Son to you:

This Corner Stone is the first stone to set the structure of the building. Then the Apostles of the Lamb that are the 12 foundations of the wall of the city of God, were added to it.  They became one with Him as the foundation. Now the church, His body, has a place to function through – a place to work from – a dwelling for the family of God in heaven and earth to tabernacle in.

Is God making you part of His Foundation?  (Hear this with Spiritual ears of understanding or you’ll go off balance.)  Look at 1 Corinthians 3:3-16.  Here Paul is telling them that we are all labourers together with God, being His building, and husbandry.  Everyone has their God given place to stand and work to do.  Each are important and to be respected by one another…. knowing there is only one sure foundation – verse 11 For other foundation can no man lay than that is laid, which is Jesus Christ.

Yet all will be tried with fire… just like in verse above of Judges 6:20-22.  !!  Read 1 Corinthians 3:3-16. We are to stand upon that Foundation which is the TRIED STONE, CORNER STONE… THE ROCK that is our SURE PLACE to be, the Stone that Guides, Balances, Secures, Establishes the rest of the building.   There, on that Rock, God’s presence will meet us, commune with us, consume us, and reveal to us that truly we are encountering the Lord God face to face.

Amen.

Jesus’ Appearing

Looking unto Christ Jesus, who is your Savior, to appear….. 

2 Timothy 1:9-10 Who hath saved us, and called us with an holy calling, not according to our works, but according to his own purpose and grace, which was given us in Christ Jesus before the world began, But is now made manifest by the appearing of our Saviour Jesus Christ, who hath abolished death, and hath brought life and immortality to light through the gospel:

Here’s the NIV wording of 2 Timothy 1:9-10 - who has saved us and called us to a holy life — not because of anything we have done but because of his own purpose and grace. This grace was given us in Christ Jesus before the beginning of time, but it has now been revealed through the appearing of our Savior, Christ Jesus, who has destroyed death and has brought life and immortality to light through the gospel.

So, here is scripture that speaks of Jesus Christ already come, revealed, manifest.  BUT yet, in other scriptures we find there is a coming of Jesus Christ, “waiting for the appearing…” and other ways the scriptures in the New Testament speak of.

So what is happening?  or Rather, what was happening back in the new testament Generation?

We need to talk on this more….  so all may understand exactly what was happening back then, in THAT GENERATION…  so that all may understand where we/you are in God’s plan in THIS Age and generation.

In Matthew 23:36 Jesus says:  ‘Verily I say unto you, All these things shall come upon this generation.’

Jesus was speaking and telling them of what was going to happen in THAT GENERATION.  Not us, but to them.

Now look at Matthew 24:34 where Jesus says: ‘Verily I say unto you, This generation shall not pass, till all these things be fulfilled.’

And in Luke 21 tells us also of that generation being the age that would experience all this.

Luke 21:32 Verily I say unto you, This generation shall not pass away, till all be fulfilled.

Also in Mark 13:30 Verily I say unto you, that this generation shall not pass, till all these things be done.

Jesus even told the high priest that “ye shall see the Son of man sitting on the right hand of power, and coming in the clouds of heaven.” Mark 14:61-62.

Jesus was speaking to them and telling them that the great tribulation and white throne judgment was going to happen according to all that the law and prophets have said.

What was happening, was that the fulfilling of the law and prophets concerning Christ was being fulfilled, so that the first order could be completed and moved out of the way, so that the Blood Covenant of Jesus Christ, the New Priesthood, and King, and Kingdom, etc… could be established.  A new heaven and earth where God dwells.  And that is in His People… Hasn’t He said we are His Temple, Dwelling Place?  Yes.

In order for the law and prophets to be fulfilled, and every jot and tittle of the law fulfilled, then there had to be the appearing of Jesus Christ, God in the flesh, to be the Priest, King, and Lamb of God to fulfill the requirements of law of sin and death.  Jesus Christ fulfilled all righteousness, and the debt of sin, and the judgment of sin under that law, overcoming death.  But there was one more event that had to be accomplished under that old law, before the new order of God could come in.   Judgment of sin upon THAT GENERATION for the shedding of God’s innocent blood:

Luke 11:49-52 (Jesus speaking) 

49 Therefore also said the wisdom of God, I will send them prophets and apostles, and some of them they shall slay and persecute:

50 That the blood of all the prophets, which was shed from the foundation of the world, may be required of this generation;

51 From the blood of Abel unto the blood of Zacharias, which perished between the altar and the temple: verily I say unto you, It shall be required of this generation.

52 Woe unto you, lawyers! for ye have taken away the key of knowledge: ye entered not in yourselves, and them that were entering in ye hindered.

Are you seeing this yet?   The great tribulation was to come to THAT Generation, not us.  It was prophesied concerning THAT generation, not us.   And in about 70 AD this Great Tribulation came to completion, thus the New Heaven, and New Earth of God came forth, and is Established Today. So stop believing the lie that the tribulation is in the future, and that all the things happening in the world is a fulfillment of Matthew 24, etc….  It is not.  Matthew 24 did happen as prophesied IN That Generation.

Once Done, it is done.

The Kingdom of God/Heaven is not an outward establishment, but it is Righteousness, Peace, and Joy IN THE HOLY GHOST (Romans 14:17). 

The Kingdom of God/Heaven is In You, In the Holy Ghost/Spirit:

Luke 17:20-21 And when he was demanded of the Pharisees, when the kingdom of God should come, he answered them and said, The kingdom of God cometh not with observation: Neither shall they say, Lo here! or, lo there! for, behold, the kingdom of God is within you.

And the Kingdom of God/Heaven is also God’s dominion that we press in to, and enter as John 3:3-5 talks of being born again is the only way to ‘enter’ the kingdom of God.  And Luke 16:16 tells us that the law and the prophets were until John, and since then we ‘press’ in to the Kingdom.

So what is to be for this Age and generation?  Whatever the Lord has planned…Which a lot is happening today in God’s Kingdom and outside His kingdom.

But Ephesians 2:7 tells us that this age we live in is a time for God to reveal His Kindness and Love to us. 

Eph 2:4-9 But God, who is rich in mercy, for his great love wherewith he loved us, Even when we were dead in sins, hath quickened us together with Christ, (by grace ye are saved;) And hath raised us up together, and made us sit together in heavenly places in Christ Jesus: That in the ages to come he might shew the exceeding riches of his grace in his kindness toward us through Christ Jesus. For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God: Not of works, lest any man should boast.

Now What?  Be Redeemed by the Blood of the Lamb and ENTER and DWELL in God’s Kingdom with the Son, the Lamb of God.   DO and GO as the Father Desires You to.  Set the creature free…. (See Romans 8:All * 19)

Rom 8:19 For the earnest expectation of the creature waiteth for the manifestation of the sons of God.

Be Born Again… Be Conformed to the image of the Son… for it is the Spirit of the Son in us that makes us God’s Son. And it is that Spirit that is Interceding for all…. through us, His many membered body… in this world. 

Amen.

Strengthened In Love

Ephesians 3:14-19 For this cause I bow my knees unto the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, Of whom the whole family in heaven and earth is named, That he would grant you, according to the riches of his glory, to be strengthened with might by his Spirit in the inner man; That Christ may dwell in your hearts by faith; that ye, being rooted and grounded in love, May be able to comprehend with all saints what is the breadth, and length, and depth, and height; And to know the love of Christ, which passeth knowledge, that ye might be filled with all the fulness of God.

This passage of scripture, like many others, is just so powerful and wonderful to eat!  First we see we have a family that is not just in the earth, but in heaven too.  It is a family with God as our Father, and we are named after Him.  And you know how many names He has!  Big Responsibility here.

Verse 16 – 19 is the focus for today, so look deep and allow the Lord to reveal Himself to you in a clearer way…

In verse 16 HE GRANTS YOU…  now I know this is Paul speaking as if a prayer in his heart, but that’s my point… Would Paul’s prayer be unanswered?  No.  So RECEIVE from the Apostle of God today also.  

So… God Grants to You ACCORDING to HIS RICHES of GLORY…  now this is Deep!  We are not talking of rubies, diamonds, dollars…. This is talking of God’s Presence IN You and the Effects it has on you… the Benefits He is IN You. !!!  LIBERTY!  Oh Hallelujah to the King!

God to grant you according to the riches of His Glory so You Can Be STRENGTHENED with POWER BY HIS PRESENCE – SPIRIT….  God is Spirit.  There’s only one Spirit and that is the Lord, the Holy One, Yeshua, God (Ephesians 4)…. STRENGTHENED BY His Spirit IN YOUR INNER MAN.

Now the next verse though CONNECTS Jesus Christ AS THAT SPIRIT…. That Christ may dwell in your hearts by faith.   Jesus Christ IS THAT Spirit.  One Spirit – God.

Then it tells us why – so you may be AFFECTED BY LOVE, and ANCHORED – SECURED in HIS THOUGHTS towards you. 

…that ye, being rooted and grounded in love…. May be able to comprehend (understand) with all saints what is the breadth, and length, and depth, and height;

19 And to know the love of Christ, which passeth knowledge, that ye might be filled with all the fulness of God.

Now, verse 19 is speaking of a love that exceeds head knowledge…. it is an EXPERIENCIAL Love.  An Experience that goes beyond head knowledge… An Experience in His Love that creates and causes a Change in your nature (Fills You With God – removes all voids, lack, emptiness).

His Presence In You – Is His Riches of Glory… Giving You His Best which is Himself.

Amen.

The Lord is My Shepherd

Psalm 23 The Lord is my Shepherd I shall not want…..

Amen.  That settles it … and all issues.

The Lord is My Shepherd, and I have no need of anything anymore.   Why?  Because the Lord is my Shepherd I shall not want.  Any need that has been, He has fulfilled.  Whatever “need” now appears, He is fulfilling.  And whatever need or want may come in the future, He will fulfill and provide for.

Although at times, I am patiently waiting for certain things to be brought in to my hands and materialize, yet I now have become one with the Father and Son, who is Master and Creator of all things.  He has made all things by His Word, His Son, for his pleasure and purpose, including me.  What is His is mine and what is mine is His.  There is still sooo much to learn of Him and His Kingdom, and How all things work together for good … according to His good pleasure.  So there is never a day of lack.

Romans 8:28 And we know that all things work together for good to them that love God, to them who are the called according to his purpose.

The only need I have is Him, and since I have Him, I have need of nothing anymore.  I ask Him and receive from Him.  Sometimes it may be through another person, or by an angel or by a miracle of another means.  It is just the Divine Life I live in.

I lack nothing.  I am complete.  I am His Son/Daughter.  He is my Everything – my All in All! Amen.

What a Family we have!  Look forward to meeting many, many more members of this wonderful, like Mind & Spirit & Soul body.

(Note: As you are reading this, note that You are saying “I” - make it your confession and declaration of God's provision through Jesus Christ. And if you are one with the Son, then you are one with the Father, and there is no lack in you or for you… God will fulfill all voids.)

Mark 14:36 And he said, Abba, Father, all things are possible unto thee; take away this cup from me: nevertheless not what I will, but what thou wilt.

Mark 11:22-26  And Jesus answering saith unto them, Have faith in God.  23 For verily I say unto you, That whosoever shall say unto this mountain, Be thou removed, and be thou cast into the sea; and shall not doubt in his heart, but shall believe that those things which he saith shall come to pass; he shall have whatsoever he saith. 24 Therefore I say unto you, What things soever ye desire, when ye pray, believe that ye receive them, and ye shall have them. 25 And when ye stand praying, forgive, if ye have ought against any: that your Father also which is in heaven may forgive you your trespasses. 26 But if ye do not forgive, neither will your Father which is in heaven forgive your trespasses.

Amen.

If You Say You are God's Habitation

If You say you are God's Habitation, Then God Is Dwelling IN YOU.

It is time to make up our mind…   Are we God’s Habitation or not?  I say “yes” and I Know This Is So.  

Father, please open the blind eyes, and heal the deaf ears, In Jesus Name Amen.

The scriptures clearly show and by the revealing of the Holy Spirit that is IN us (if it is so that you have received the Lord 2 Corinthians 3:17), that we, that have received Jesus Christ as the Son of God, Savior from separation from God/LIFE, Priest/King (and soooo many other worthy names and purposes and benefits and blessings has He been made for us to reap of) … that we are the habitation of Him/God.

Wow.  Seriously… Wow….   So declare Him, Your Righteousness… that HE is Abiding In You, Today.

But yet I continuously am hearing of those that say they are the children of God, but yet they confess that Jesus Christ is not abiding in them.  It is time to Wake Up, and Receive the Lord Jesus Christ and let Him abide In you…..

John 14:2 In my Father’s house are many mansions: if it were not so, I would have told you. I go to prepare a place for you.  And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come again, and receive you unto myself; that where I am, there ye may be also.

Ephesians 2:19-22  v21 In whom all the building fitly framed together growth unto an holy temple in the Lord:  In whom ye also are builded together for an habitation of God through the Spirit.

1 Corinthians 3:16-17  Know ye not that ye are the temple of God, and that the Spirit of God dwelleth in you?

2 Corinthians 3:17  Now the Lord is that Spirit: and where the Spirit of the Lord is, there is liberty.

We are the habitation, the body, the visible image of the invisible God….  GOD HAS DESIRED THIS, and has caused the SPIRIT OF THE SON, WHICH IS THE FATHER, TO DWELL IN YOU.  If you have received that Word of Truth, Jesus Christ, and have believed that Word of Truth, and have Received that Spirit of Promise, the Father, in your soul…. 

Then you are SEALED with that holy Spirit of promise… Ephesians 1:13-14.   Romans 8:9-11  …if so be that the Spirit of God dwell in you.  Now if any man have not the Spirit of Christ, he is none of his.  And if Christ be in you, the body is dead because of sin; but the Spirit is life because of righteousness.  But if the Spirit of him that raised up Jesus from the dead dwell in you,…..

OHHHH Hear this…….   “if the Spirit of Him that raised up Jesus from the dead dwell IN YOU,….. 

This is the Spirit that IS GOD…..  the Father was in Jesus Christ, and it was HIM that raised Him from the dead.  YOU ARE DEAD because SIN was REVEALED.  Sin was revealed when Jesus Christ was preached and your eyes were opened and YOU REALIZED you needed THE SAVIOR.  HIS Presence not only shined on your filthiness, but HIS LOVE pulled on you to COME to HIM.   So you asked HIM into your Heart, so that HE COULD CAUSE YOU to be able to be received back in to LIFE ….   

Now be awakened to WHY HE IS IN YOU….  (this has been preached in earlier days messages, but it will be spoken of again at another time).

Declare HIS RIGHTEOUSNESS, PRESENCE IN YOU….   Unless your righteousness exceeds that of the (“working of the flesh”) scribes and Pharisees…. let’s read Matthew 5:20:

Matthew 5:20  (Jesus talking) For I say unto you, That except your righteousness shall exceed the righteousness of the scribes and Pharisees, ye shall in no case enter into the kingdom of heaven.

Jesus Christ IS that Righteousness…..  THAT Presence IN YOU Makes You Righteous.

 So declare HIM, That Righteousness…  that is Abiding In You, Today.  It is the only SECURITY we need, and the only JUSTIFICATION that declares us before the Father as holy, unblameable, and loved.

Romans 5:18-19 Therefore as by the offence of one judgment came upon all men to condemnation; even so by the righteousness of one the free gift came upon all men unto justification of life.

19 For as by one man’s disobedience many were made sinners, so by the obedience of one shall many be made righteous.

Abundance – Equality for All

Abundance – Equality for All

Or this can be called ‘All things in Common.’

2 Corinthians 8:10-16

10 And herein I give my advice: for this is expedient for you, who have begun before, not only to do, but also to be forward a year ago.

11 Now therefore perform the doing of it; that as there was a readiness to will, so there may be a performance also out of that which ye have.

12 For if there be first a willing mind, it is accepted according to that a man hath, and not according to that he hath not.

13 For I mean not that other men be eased, and ye burdened:

14 But by an equality, that now at this time your abundance may be a supply for their want, that their abundance also may be a supply for your want: that there may be equality:

15 As it is written, He that had gathered much had nothing over; and he that had gathered little had no lack.

16 But thanks be to God, which put the same earnest care into the heart of Titus for you.

Simply put…Thank you Father.

God's Help

We ask for God’s help…. but will You help God?

Where were you when He needed help?  Help God First…. then when you call, He will help you.

The businesses and the people should be supporting God financially first….  Not God or the Church supplying the “people” for “monies” for businesses to profit.  This is wrong.

Nothing is wrong with owning a business and profiting.  But if you are using the body of Christ to make your profits…. this is wrong. 

Give to the Body of Christ.  Give to true Ministers and Ministries of God.

Where is the understanding, and the reverence to God?  No wonder the USA is in a financial poverty. 

Tell the businesses to start giving to the body of Christ, and to “true” ministers and ministries of God, and there will be a turnaround in the finances.

Ask God to show you who to give to, not by logic or reason, but by the Spirit of the Lord and His peace within… giving cheerfully.  

The one that outwardly looks defeated may be the one that needs it most; or the one that looks completed is actually the one that needs it most…..  in other words, don’t choose by looks or by the best asker, but ASK GOD and LISTEN for the peace in your heart that says this one.  Let God tell you, and then give as He desires.  He is the one to bless you, and keep His promise. Don’t listen to ones that make you promises, but LISTEN to the confirmation in your spirit of what The Holy Spirit is telling you.  Learn to Commune with the Father daily, in all your actions.

Pass this on…..

Amen.

Abundant Life

Revelation 1:18  Jesus has the keys of hell and death.

Romans 6:9-11, 14  Knowing that Christ being raised form the dead dieth no more; death hath no more dominion over him.  For in that he died, he died unto sin once: but in that he liveth, he liveth unto God.

Likewise reckon ye also yourselves to be dead indeed unto sin, but alive unto God through Jesus Christ our Lord.

v14 For sin shall not have dominion over you: for you are not under the law, but under grace.

v18 Being then made free from sin, ye became the servants of righteousness.

Romans 8:9-11  But ye are not in the flesh, but in the Spirit, if so be that the Spirit of God dwell in you.  Now if any man have not the Spirit of Christ, he is none of his.  And if Christ be in you, the body is dead because of sin; but the Spirit is life because of righteousness.  But if the Spirit of him that raised up Jesus from the dead dwell in you, he that raised up Christ from the dead shall also quicken your mortal bodies by his Spirit that dwelleth in you.

Jesus Christ is our Sufficiency to be Righteous.   That Spirit of Life that was in Christ Jesus, is the Father.  And it is that One that made Jesus sufficient, and able to Finish the Work that the Father had sent Him to do. 

It was by This Spirit, that Jesus was able to present himself without spot to God….. And it is by This Spirit in us that we are able to be without spot before God.

By the blood of Jesus Christ that was shed, our conscience can now be cleansed from dead works (the works of the flesh), so that we can serve the living God without fear, but with Reverence and Love.

For in Jesus Christ and by Jesus Christ… by That Spirit of Life in Him – The Father in Him…. are we now SANCTIFIED, and JUSTIFIED and FREED from ALL SIN AND DEATH.

Can you believe this? 

HE holds the keys of hell and death, and has become the ABILITY for US to be released from their hold. And that ABILITY (Jesus Christ) Working In Us – POWER – is ABLE TO SUSTAIN US NO MATTER WHAT.  He is our Security of Right Standing before GOD and IN God always.

By God’s Own Will, or could say by His Own Arm He has brought us to Himself, spotless, and unblameable…..   He Has Become Our Way…..  to the Abundant Life.

Amen.

Through Jesus Christ

There’s only one WAY, one Door, one Avenue, one “method” or “means” …. to do Anything.

Jesus Christ is the Way, the Truth, and the Life, right? Right. 

There’s only one Way to the Father and that is THROUGH the SON. And you can’t come to the Son, unless the Father Wills for you to.

So, what about Healing?  How does Healing Come?  In a short response to this, Healing comes by the Father, through the SON, Jesus Christ…. by that same Spirit working THROUGH  Faith in You to another.

By Faith in God’s Word, which is Jesus Christ, His Son, we can lay hands or pray for the sick and they will recover.  Or we can pray for the Lord’s guidance in the situation, to receive wisdom for them so they that are sick may be free, or, or, or …. there are lots of situations to see how Jesus Christ went throughout the land healing and setting people free.  But there is ONE set Truth in every situation…. it was the Father in the Son that allowed the work to be done.  Yet the Father gave the Son His Honor and Authority, but the SON acknowledges that the Father is Greater than He.  Oh What a Relationship Here!!!

The point here is….  The Father is the source of Life and has given all to the Son to work, but the Son can do nothing without the Father or without the Father’s permission.  Likewise we can of ourselves do NOTHING.  NOTHING, NOTHING, NOTHING…..

….Unless the Father THROUGH the SON will do it through us.  Submit to the Head from which all blessings flow… Humble and Yield yourself to Him and HIS WILL for the given situation….

If Jesus Christ is not in you, If the Father is not in you, If the Holy Spirit is not in you…. you can do nothing.

They are One – that Holy Spirit is the Lord, and there is only One Lord (2 Cor 3:17).  They, the Father and Son come and make their abode IN YOU (John 14:20-24).  Many verses in the gospels read that Jesus tells us that it is the Father that doeth the work, and speaks through the Son to that generation.  Although He knows His place and authority, He always knows and gives acknowledgement and REVERANCE to the Father, and the Father acknowledges and Honors the Son.  What a Team!

So must we do.  KNOW that it is the LORD IN US that does the Healing, Miracles, Blessings of all kinds, etc….  Give the Lord HONOR, and REVERANCE in all His workings through us.  Humble Mind, Meek and lowly in heart… just like the Son to the Father.

Without Him we can do Nothing…. John 15:4-5 Abide in me, and I in you. As the branch cannot bear fruit of itself, except it abide in the vine; no more can ye except ye abide in me.  I am the vine, ye are the branches: He that abideth in me, and I in him, the same bringeth forth much fruit for without me ye can do nothing.

Study that relationship between the Father and the Son, and let that be your example to nourish your relationship with the Lord.  He Desires to give of Himself to us, so that we may never have a lack in giving out to others in that same selfless divine nature that He is.   In Him we live, because the Son lives of the Father, and we through Him can have life more abundantly. 

There is no other way for us to BECOME the SON with Him, and Produce the FRUIT of the SON, but to eat of and go through the Son to the Father.  Likewise, in order for HIS HEALING POWER to flow through us, the Power has to be in us… His Holy Spirit.

John 1:12 reveals that He gives us power to become sons…  In Luke 24:49  Jesus tells them to wait until they are endued with power from on high, the promise of the Father.

So if the Holy Spirit is doing the work of the Father and Son IN you, and you are abiding in Him, then He will flow through you, as He desires.  Just be ready … and willing. 

Has He made you one of His Gifts to the Body of Christ?  Then work that gift for the edification of the body in love, but never forget that the Gift is Jesus Christ in You working….  Allow HIM to flow through You, yet You always acknowledging within yourself, that it is HIM, the Holy Spirit, the Lord from Heaven that enables you and causes you to be one with His Son as Co-Heirs, and as HIS SON in this world.

We are His habitation.  That body. That help-mate.  And we are so, only through His Son, Jesus Christ, which is the power of God…. now in us so creation can be set free.  Romans 8:14-23

Amen.

Forgiveness Is Eternal

Even God has had to deal with a disobedient, and or a quarrelsome family.   Read the Old Testament and you’ll see all He had to put up with, AND how He dealt with disobedience then.  Thank you Father for Grace now.

Grace doesn’t give us permission to be disobedient; instead, Grace just makes it easier for us to walk in the ‘way’ that God wants us to.

Forgiveness Is Eternal.  God has Eternally Forgiven us of sin: missing the mark of righteousness by our own ability in the flesh.  He has provided the Eternal … On-going Sacrifice… His Lamb – Jesus Christ – that was alive, died, was revived, and lives forever more…. He is Our Righteousness to stand by, and our Eternal Forgiveness. Amen.

Forgiveness Is Eternal.

God has already Forgiven You… done deal.

Just stop doing those things that are wrong… or not of His nature/character….

God has already Forgiven You Eternally… Done ….. sooo…

Just Start doing what He tells you to do….

Just Start walking by the Spirit of Love and produce HIS Fruit.

If you find yourself having to say “Lord, I’m sorry, please forgive me” over and over…  Then it is time for you to realize that He Has Already Forgiven You Forever……. So you don’t have to plead for forgiveness, just acknowledge to Him the wrong, and desire to change…. RECEIVE His Forgiveness and TURN - CHANGE Your Mind. Don’t forget to Thank Him and Praise Him for the forgiveness…. it’s just the polite thing to do…. He’s your Father, so reverencing Him is proper.  Sure, there are various ways to communicate to Him on this, but the Truth of the matter stays the same.  

Ask Him HOW to behave in those situations you keep getting in.  Obviously, if you keep behaving inappropriately, then you need to LEARN OF HIM the proper way to behave.

So, Ask Him How.  Then wait for the answer.  He will show you HIS WAY, then say Yes Lord I will, Please Help me to do Your Will.  Now, of course, you can talk to the Father any way you want to…. this is only an example.  But the Father WILL show you the proper mind to walk by.

Be FREE from that carnal mind set.  LET – ALLOW the Lord to RENEW your mind in His Spirit.  The Change comes by His Spirit in the EXPERIENCES of your walk that cause you to seek the Lord and desire to be Obedient to His Will and Word in everyday situations.  This will cause you to SUBMIT to the Lord, which means you are resisting the devil (the one that kills, steals, and destroys) and giving GOD PLACE in your situation.

James 4:7-8 Submit yourselves therefore to God. Resist the devil, and he will flee from you.

8 Draw nigh to God, and he will draw nigh to you. Cleanse your hands, ye sinners; and purify your hearts, ye double minded.

Submitting to God means you BELIEVE in HIS WORD and Walk by that Word.  Jesus Christ was manifested to destroy the devil and the works of the devil.  Do you believe this?  So, since Jesus Christ Is your Head and Authority, then the devil is destroyed.  Now, walk in Faith of the Son… Praise Him, Thank Him and know that victory is won.

Even in Revelation 20:10 it tells us that God has thrown the devil, aka Satan and the false prophet into the lake of fire and brimstone, and that this is where they will be for ever and ever.  Another DONE Deal.  DO YOU BELIEVE GOD’S WORD?   It Is Done.

It is the carnal minds that have not been fully REGENERATED (BORN AGAIN) that is producing behaviors that ‘kill (verbally and/or physically), steal, and destroy’. The spirit of the carnal mind is removed when the Holy Spirit comes in and seals you as His property. The Blood of Jesus declares better things for you.

BE FREE from the ruling force of the carnal mind of first Adam, and RECEIVE the Mind and SPIRIT of the LORD and Your Liberty.  Declare with your mouth and believe in your heart that Jesus Christ is Lord of your Life…. that is giving Him Place as the Ruler and One who Reigns in your life.   (2 Corinthians 3:16-18; Hebrews 9:14-15; Romans 12:1-2; Titus 3:4-7; Hebrews 2:14; 1 John 3:8-9; and many more…).

Amen.
