Sin Is Removed

If you have heard the Spirit of Prophecy declaring the gospel of love which is Jesus Christ, and faith has awakened you unto the Savior and sealed you with His indwelling Holy Spirit from the Father, then He has appeared unto you without sin, Victorious for you, so that you can now receive Him and You can now be without Sin.  For that Word is the testimony of the Father concerning the Son.  And that Word is the Son.  One Spirit. One Lord.  And where He is there is Liberty.

These scriptures confirm this...

1 John 3:5-6

And ye know that he was manifested to take away our sins; and in him is no sin.

Whosoever abideth in him sinneth not: whosever sinneth hath not seen him, neither known him.

John 14:20-23 (Jesus speaking here)

v20 At that day ye shall know that I am in my Father, and ye in me, and I in you.

v21 He that hath my commandments, and keepeth them, he it is that loveth me: and he that loveth me shall be loved of my Father, and I will love him, and will manifest myself to him.

v23 Jesus answered and said unto him, If a man love me, he will keep my words: and my Father will love him, and we will come unto him, and make our abode with him.

The Father and Son will abide IN YOU and YOU IN THEM.  How?  In, by, and of the Spirit that is God and Is the Holy Spirit.

Hebrews 9:26-28 v28

So Christ was once offered to bear the sins of many; and unto them that look for him shall he appear the second time without sin unto salvation.

So you cry “Come in to my heart, Lord Jesus, Lamb of God and forgive me of my sin”.   

If you have received Jesus Christ then You are Forgiven.  Sin and the effects of sin ceases, and the Lord begins to heal you and free you from it. 

Free from Sin means you are One with Eternal Life and receiving the Benefits of the One that has now bought you with His life and Blood!!!  He Owns You.  But Owns You so that He may share His Life with you.  Awesome!  Just like a true marriage.

Separation from Jesus Christ is death.  Jesus Christ is Eternal Life and is God.  (John 5:20 and other scriptures)

1 Corinthians 15:54-57 So when this corruptible shall have put on incorruption, and this mortal shall have put on immortality, then shall be brought to pass the saying that is written, Death is swallowed up in victory.

55 O death, where is thy sting? O grave, where is thy victory?

56 The sting of death is sin; and the strength of sin is the law.

57 But thanks be to God, which giveth us the victory through our Lord Jesus Christ.

The Sting of Death... is Sin.  The Law kept sin active.  But when the law was fulfilled by Christ Jesus, then sin had no strength.  And since sin lost its strength, it could no longer hold Jesus nor can it hold us, who have received the Blood of Jesus as God’s Lamb to take away sin.  And since sin lost its strength, death lost its hold on us too.  Death is overcome by Jesus Christ and has cast it into the lake of fire.  Hallelujah!!!  Redeemed Fully in Christ Jesus!

Death is swallowed up in Victory! 

The law of sin and death is what kept sin alive.  Jesus Christ has fulfilled that first order of the law that was a working of the flesh.  So in the flesh, God came as Jesus Christ and redeemed us fully!  Now that law is fulfilled and removed out of the way.  A new order has been birthed forth to replace it.  The new law is the Law of the Spirit of Life in Christ Jesus.  It makes us free from the old law.  The new law works by Faith which is a working of the Spirit, not flesh.  So now where sin once was Grace is working through faith in the Righteousness of Jesus Christ and bringing us into Eternal Life.   Sin is dead, and we are made alive in Christ Jesus.! 

The Pain is Gone.  Sorrow flees.  We can Rejoice in the Victory of Jesus Christ!   Oh Hallelujah!!! 

Do you believe?  Can you See Him high and lifted up?  Are you Hearing Him call your name?

Abide in the Liberty of the Lord Jesus Christ and be not brought in to bondage again. 

Christ is Come in your heart and is abiding with you and in you forever.... but is now taking you on a journey that will cut away that carnal mind from you as He washes and cleanses you in His testimony that is the Word of God which is spirit and life.  The writing of the blood covenant upon your heart and put in your mind.  Jesus Christ is being made known to you and appearing in your soul. (Ephesians 5:26-27; John 6:63; Hebrews 8:10....)

Making Himself known unto you as He said He would in John 14:20-23.

SO, SINCE JESUS IS Come in Your Soul, Sin Ceases!  Death is no more.  And As He is so are you in this world (1 John 4:17).  But yet you may not see it all yet, because it is a process of revealing His Life to you... a little at a time.  Swallowing up your mortality and manifesting His Life. Amen.

Hebrews 2:8 Thou hast put all things in subjection under his feet. For in that he put all in subjection under him, he left nothing that is not put under him. But now we see not yet all things put under him. But we see Jesus ...

....And ye know that he was manifested to take away our sins: and in him is no sin. (1 John 3:5)

Is Christ Head of your Soul?  Did you invite Him to be your Savior?  Yes you did.  So allow the Holy Spirit to wash you in the regeneration (rebirth) and renewing of your mind by the washing of the water that is the word of God....

Titus 3:4-5 But after that the kindness and love of God our Savior toward man appeared, Not by works of righteousness which we have done, but according to this mercy he saved us, by the washing of regeneration, and renewing of the Holy Ghost:  Which he shed on us abundantly through Jesus Christ our Savior;

Ephesians 5:26-27 That he might sanctify and cleanse it with the washing of water by the word, That he might present it to himself a glorious church, not having spot, or wrinkle, or any such thing; but that it should be holy and without blemish.

That Washing only comes through the Word of God.  It is this Word who came to us as God’s only begotten Son.  And ONLY by and of and through the Word of God can you be clean and free from sin and death (1 John 5:9-13).  It is the Word of Truth that washes us and sanctifies us.

The very Presence of the Son, the Lamb of God within your heart/soul MAKES you Sanctified, Justified, and Free. And by His Presence In You, He begins to take you on that journey of having your mind renewed.  Then you begin walking by His mind which is life and liberty, and not by the carnal mind which is death and bondage.

So GOD BREATHES ON AND IN YOU, as He did in the beginning to create....  GOD is Breathing or Speaking His Word (Jesus Christ) in your Soul.  He is Declaring His Testimony, Witness, Record of His Son that is our Power to be free.  Our Salvation and Liberty and Freedom from that Carnal Mind, Sin and Death. (Read if you can Hebrews 8:10, 1 John 5:9-15)

1 John 3:5-6 And ye know that he was manifested to take away our sins; and in him is no sin.

Whosoever abideth in him sinneth not: whosever sinneth hath not seen him, neither known him.

Romans 6:22 But now being made free from sin, and become servants to God, ye have your fruit unto holiness, and the end everlasting life.

So if Christ Jesus is in you, then sin has stopped and Grace has appeared in the Righteousness that is the Presence of Jesus Christ that is now abiding in you, and is also birthing you, and carrying you in to Himself, in the Father, who is Eternal Life.....  Continue your Journey and press in.

Amen.

God’s Will Isn’t Always Smooth – But His Love is Forever - Endeavor to Enter In

Some teach that if you are in God’s will everything is smooth and peaceful... well, that is true, and most of the time that is the situation.  But it is not always that way with God, even when in His perfect plan.  It just depends on what the Father is working in you or in the situation at that moment of time.

Look at what Jesus went through... it was not all easy, matter of fact he had to taste death (and that was separation from God!).  He suffered the worse, but did so for us.  What if He said, I must be out of God’s will, so I won’t go....   think on all that He went thru... and the behavior of the Jews coming out of Egypt and entering their promise land.  They were God’s chosen ones, His elect people... but many refused to do God’s will.   God made numerous attempts to make them willing by giving what they asked to them, but not even that could change their souls to be faithful and willing to do God’s will and enter their promised land.  So God left them out, and choose a new generation to do His will.  God has His remnant.

It wasn’t until God took me through it that I grew to understand His ways better.  That it isn’t always smooth walking when you go to do God’s will.  Matter of fact, sometimes it is like giving birth, a struggle, and a desire to run the other way... but you can’t... it’s mid way and you have to push and wait push and wait... but you have to Trust His Word... and daily seek and yield to Him moment by moment.

It’s like David going in for battle when the Lord had told him that he will get the victory, but he wasn’t to sit home and expect the victory. Instead, he had to seek, listen and move at God’s voice daily for the victory to come.  Secret maneuvers have to be worked, disguised, and planted by the Lord.  Straight on force to bring down the enemy’s plan to hinder God’s blessing.  It’s amazing to see how God works His victory in each situation.  But we have to seek, listen, and move with the Lord.

In those moments you have to know that you are in God’s will, even when it seems all is falling apart.

In those moments are when you know that God will see you through it, and that it is all in His plan and working.  Others would say you are out of God’s will because it isn’t working as smooth as they think and peace seems to have evaded you.  But it is then that your relationship grows closer and stronger with the Lord our Father, cause you aren’t depending on feelings or outward happenings, but are knowing the One that is leading you is God and Father and Lord.... you trust Him and know that He is able. That Holy Spirit is the only Spirit we need to guide us.

It’s important to know if you are in His will or not in this situation.  You must hear His voice.

I have had to lose a car and had my credit messed up because God was talking to someone to help on the car payment, but she wanted us to let it go.  She didn’t realize we would have to pay for it any way and that it would mess up my credit.  But she decided, and God wasn’t making her help us... free will...free choice.  But God saw us through it and blessed the way for us... it was another birthing and change in our life of His will being worked.

God has told me He was talking to so-n-so about financially helping, but they were not willing, or they gave it to someone else, or that had other reasons why... so no, God does not make people do what He wants, even though He can, and has done that...  or as my husband says “God won’t make you do it, but He’ll make you willing to”... or God will make you go through an ordeal to come to the place you are willing to do His will.  ... even if He has to do it through someone else, His Will will be done. 

There is a difference between when God commissions you to do something and when God asks you to do something. When God commissions you to do something, you have a responsibility to do it.  When God asks you to do something, you have a choice. 

I’ve learned through these times, to ask the Lord to make me willing and able to do His will always, especially if it is to help another... I don’t want others to suffer due to disobedience or procrastination.  God will always succeed and have the last word.  He has always made the outcome much more better, so He never forsakes us.  He Is Love. 

God's mind isn't like the religious mind that wants to "smash" you when you don't do what they want.  Look at how they treated Jesus when He walked on the earth.  God is love, but He is our Father and He does not allow disobedience to continue.  Nor does He allow ill treatment to one another to go without correction.  But He has His way of doing it.  He knows all hearts involved.  Sometimes He blesses our enemies to resolve how they are treating you.  So walk in His love always, and His blessings will flow to you too. 

God had to keep disciplining the Jews.  He had to discipline them, then bless them, then discipline, and bless, and then they broke the everlasting covenant (Isaiah 24:5), now God is married to all that have received His Word that was made flesh, the Lamb of God, the blood that was shed has enjoined us forever. 

Speaking of which, the scriptures tell us that God looked for one that he could use to save His people, but there was none, so He by His own arm brought salvation... and thru Jesus.  That was/is God.  He did it Himself.  So even in redeeming us, He looked, but could not find.  But He will still get His will done, even if He has to do it Himself.  And so He Did It. And so I abide In Him.

Yet, in saying this, there have been times that God made me go back in to a yucky situation, just because of what they or others were praying... He wanted to honor THEIR wishes, and wanted me to endure the situation.  But once the door was shut, I didn’t have to go back anymore.  He will not give any more than we can endure, yet He is our ability to endure anything.... but knows our frame.  (Gal 2:20) Hallelujah.

God gives all a free will and this is true.  He is God and is ABLE to do anything, yet there are His principles and standards that He has set.  God can harden the heart and make it soft.  God gives us the ability to choose if we want His involvement or not, so we ask Him.  He is polite, and loving.  Meek and Strong. He owns all things and gives us the privilege to share it with Him at His will or ours. 

We have to grow up in Him and every step of growth we are given new authority and responsibility.  Until then, you can know you have all inheritance of God through Jesus Christ, and you can abide in it, but we cannot administer the things of God in that place until God trains and releases us at His will in that stage of development... manifesting His Son Jesus Christ in us and through us. Perfection revealed.

A babe has all birthright, but they have to grow up in the Father’s house to understand the rules of His Kingdom and how the Father desires it to be run.  So He processes us,... this is being born again... this is growing up unto the head, Jesus Christ... planting, sowing, reaping... and so many other ways to explain the process of letting go of and coming out of death and sin and law, and coming into Grace, Righteousness, and Eternal Life, today.  So we have patience and grace and love with one another, but each must have their own relationship with the Father and Son, that Holy Spirit that has made His abode in us.  (John 14)

Yet, sometimes our troubles are a signal of being out of God’s will, or a discipline from the Lord for disobedience.  We did something we shouldn’t have and it has opened a door for our own trouble.  So it is always important to be able to discern and hear from the Lord why you are in the position you are in.  Have your own relationship with the Lord, and have those that the Lord has placed around you to be your back up in case you are out of God’s will, to help guide you back, in the way you need it and when you need it. 

The hand ministry of God is God’s Administration for keeping His Children safe and sound.  Not to control others, but to govern in the standard of God, guide in direction and instructions, gather them in the preaching of His Gospel of peace, guard them from deception, lies, seductions, and other harmful things, and ground them in His word and testimony of His Son Jesus Christ.... and so much more. (Ephesians 4:11-16)

So through our own experiences with God we also learn obedience, Grace abounding in His Righteousness to sustain us.  Obedience to Him alone will keep us in His will.  If daily we yield to Him then He will protect and defend and bless and love daily, so we will abide in His peace.  Even if we don't yield to Him, His grace abounds, and His love is forever... but being Love He does not allow rebellion to continue.  Our heavenly Father is just and is all Wisdom.  We need to learn from Him how to love one another, and stay on His path for our life.

Just because the path may be rough, ask your loving Father, for the reason for this course.  If you are out of His will, He will tell you.  And if you are in His will, He will tell you. And if you cannot hear, He will send one of His Administrative Gifts or Angels.  He will send His rescue for you.  But will you listen....

God desires to give you His Kingdom, and for you to be Blessed in the blessings of His Son Jesus Christ. Press in to His Kingdom through His Son Jesus Christ. (Luke 16:16; Phil 3:13-14)

Amen.

Sinners In The Way

Psalm 25:8  Good and upright is the Lord: therefore will he teach sinners in the way.

Sinners in the Way....  some say not to go or mingle with sinners, yet how can the Lord affect them if no one is sent?

Jesus had to be sent to earth to be the LIGHT.  Otherwise the sin of world would not have been removed, nor the soul able to be cleansed and sanctified.... and of course, so much more can be said here of our Salvation in and of and by Jesus Christ, the Lamb of God.

Some will judge you, like they did to Jesus, if they see you hanging out with sinners or those that have their mind in the working of the world rather than in the work of Christ.

But our Father sent Jesus, and so Jesus sends us to redeem in His name and authority, those that are lost. 

Being in their midst does Not mean to take on the mind of the world with them.

Being in their midst does Not mean to participate in the behaviors that they behave in.

Being in their midst Does mean to be the Standard of Love and Safety and Rescue for their soul to run to when hell is swallowing them up. 

Being in the Mind or Spirit of Christ, and being lead of the Holy Spirit is first and foremost to remember, when interacting with other spirits/minds.  If God is not sending you, Don’t Go.  If God is sending you, then Go with Him as your Head and Shield to lead you in all the Lord's interaction with them.

Be the example that says “no” or the wisdom of God that lights their path.  But again, let the Holy Spirit be your guide in all interactions.

How are they going to know Christ Jesus if no one is sent to tell them and show them the way?  So God sends His Ministers....You.

Don’t expect them to “like” you all the time, but don’t give in to temptations or pressures.   Pray the Father to keep you and them from temptations and deliver from evil, and keep you from evil.

Be among them in the Way as He would be:  Wise as a serpent, but gentle as a dove.

Obedience to the Lord’s guidance is best, always.

Those that use Jesus Christ drinking with sinners as an excuse to fornicate with the world are in error and in a snare themselves.  But on the other side of that, just because you see a Christian having a beer or wine does not mean they are in the same mind set of the world as the sinner. 

Remember, it is not what goes in the mouth that defiles the body, the temple of God, but what comes out of the mouth which is from the heart/spirit.  Why you do what you do will be your consciences guide and balance.  And you do what you do and say what you say because of the "spirit that is In You".

Are your actions and words the PRODUCE of the Holy Spirit? (Galatians 5:22-26)

Galatians 5:22-26 But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, longsuffering, gentleness, goodness, faith, Meekness, temperance: against such there is no law.  And they that are Christ’s have crucified the flesh with the affections and lusts.  If we live in the Spirit, let us also walk in the Spirit.

If we live in the Spirit, having been sealed of Him after hearing the Gospel of Jesus Christ, and believed (Ephesians 1:13-14***)

then walk in the Spirit.... Producing the attributes and character of the Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ.

Galatians 2:20  I am crucified with Christ: nevertheless I live; yet not I, but Christ liveth in me and the life which I now live in the flesh I live by the faith of the Son of God, who loved me, and gave himself for me.

Again, let the Holy Spirit be your head and guide in all decisions and actions.  Walking by and of Faith that is of and in Jesus Christ, God’s Word and Lamb that takes and took away the sin of the world.

But how are they going to know, unless God sends His Word to them.......  Go forth Ministers of God...into the highways and byways...

Amen.
