Hell and Death

Hell and Death have been preached for years and still is being preached as the place for eternal damnation for those that do not believe in Jesus Christ for the forgiveness of their sin.  But this message is not about condemnation, but rather about what the Lord has revealed concerning hell and death.
 
1 Corinthians 15:23-28 ...Then cometh the end when he shall have delivered up the kingdom to God, even the Father; when he shall have put down all rule and all authority and power. For he must reign, till he hath put all enemies under his feet. The last enemy that shall be destroyed is death. For he hath put all things under his feet.  But when he said all things are put under him, it is manifest that he is excepted, which did put all things under him. And when all things shall be subdued unto him, then shall the Son also himself be subject unto him that put all things under him, that God may be all in all.
 
This is an awesome awakening to grasp a hold of, but worth the time to go deeper and higher in our Lord....  so please follow me as the Holy Spirit will open up your understanding, if you ask of Him.
 
So Jesus must accomplish the defeat of death, and this He did on the cross and in the three day experience... all for us. 
 
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.
 
1 Corinthians 15:54 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.  v55 O death, where is thy sting? O grave, where is they victory? v56 The sting of death is sin; and the strength of sin is the law. v57 But thanks be to God, which giveth us the victory though our Lord Jesus Christ.
 
Jesus Christ defeated death and swallowed it up, and removed it out of the way for us when He took on the sin of the world, and paid the full price of sin which was death... for all the world.
 
Hebrews 2(all) 7-9 Thou madest him a little lower than the angels; thou crownedst him with glory and honour, and didst set him over the works of thy hands: 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, who was made a little lower than the angels for the suffering of death, crowned with glory and honour; that he by the grace of God should taste death for every man.
 
Hallelujah!  Death IS Destroyed and Defeated.  Jesus Did This ... It is Finished.
Now look at Hebrews 2:14 to see that not only is death destroyed, but now the devil is destroyed too.
 
Hebrews 2:14 Forasmuch then as the children are partakers of flesh and blood, he also himself likewise took part of the same; that through death he might destroy him that had the power of death, that is, the devil;...
 
The Works of the Father through Jesus Christ is our Salvation!  Liberty!  When we are awakened to all that He has done and has become for us, then we too can walk in that Victory!  Now, not only is the devil destroyed but now Jesus Christ has destroyed the works of the devil too.
 
1 John 3:8-9 He that committeth sin is of the devil; for the devil sinneth from the beginning. For this purpose the Son of God was manifested, that he might destroy the works of the devil...
 
Sin and death were of the devil.  Praise the Lord for Jesus Christ!!!  Now we can walk in our liberty without fear of death and without sin and without fear of the devil.  The Lord has and will take care of what troubles you. 
 
Give Him Praises due His Name, Daily!  When we were of sin, the devil had reign... BUT NOW Christ Jesus is Come in us and forgiven us of our sin... now He is Lord of us and is cleaning us up and releasing us from every darkened hold.  Hallelujah and Amen!
 
Now let’s look at Hell and then bring this together in the Victory of the Lord Jesus Christ, even more!
 
Revelation 20:10-14 v10 And the devil that deceived them was cast into the lake of fire and brimstone, where the beast and the false prophet are, and shall be tormented day and night for ever and ever.
 
Here we see that in the Revelation of Jesus Christ that the devil and beast and false prophet is not in our future, but is back in that generation. 
 
Revelation 20:13-14 And the sea gave up the dead which were in it; and death and hell delivered up the dead which were in them: and they were judged every man according to their works. v14 And death and hell were cast into the lake of fire. This is the second death.
 
Again it is revealed how that death and hell are thrown into the lake of fire, but note where they and the devil, beast, and false prophet were put.... the lake of fire.
 
So even with this revealing that death and hell are thrown in the lake of fire, and the devil destroyed and locked up now forever and ever... there is still a dwelling of God which is the lake that burns with fire and brimstone.  This dwelling is NOT hell or death or the devil, etc...  This lake is a place of God for HIS PURPOSE.  Look at this next verse... 
 
Revelation 21:8 But the fearful, and unbelieving, and the abominable, and murderers, and whoremongers, and sorcerers, and idolaters, and all liars, shall have their part in the lake which burneth with fire and brimstone: which is the second death. (Also read 1 Corinthians 6:9-12; Galatians 5:19-21)
 
Those that are workers of the flesh will have their part in this lake of fire and brimstone, which is called the second death.  Those that have taken part of the Resurrection or have received Jesus Christ as their Resurrection this second death has no power over them. (2 Peter 3:7-13)
 
God is a consuming fire.  Hebrews 12:27-29 (22-29) And this word, Yet once more, signifieth the removing of those things that are shaken, as of things that are made, that those things which cannot be shaken may remain.  Wherefore we receiving a kingdom which cannot be moved, let us have grace, whereby we may serve God acceptably with reverence and godly fear: For our God is a consuming fire.
 
Read Numbers 11:1-3 which shows of God when His anger was kindled; and the fire of the Lord burnt among them and consumed them...  Praise the Lord for Grace!!!!
 
So now we have been shown that Hell and Death and the Devil and the Beast and the False Prophet are no more.  They were all thrown into the lake of fire and brimstone that is reserved for all unrighteousness. And this lake of fire is eternal.
 
Jesus Christ FINISHED this Work.  He has already birthed forth the Kingdom having reconciled the world unto Himself and tasted death for all and soooo much more.  Oh Hallelujah! for the Victory is Done.
 
NOW... take a look at this... Revelation 1:17-18  ...Fear not; I am the first and the last: I am he that liveth, and was dead; and, behold, I am alive for evermore. Amen; and have the keys of hell and of death.
 
He could not have received the keys of hell and death unless He was the OVERCOMER of them.  Do you see this!  Yes HE HAS Overcome ALL THINGS, and HIS KINGDOM and Government is ruling and reigning over all NOW!
 
Now it is time for those that are called by His name to take your places in the Lord Jesus Christ... allow Him to Wash You in this Testament of the Lamb of God and present truth of Victory, so that you may come forth, no longer as the carnal mind walking, or a religious mind, but as one with the Lamb of God and married also to the Lamb of God.  Thus, One Spirit, One Mind ruling and reigning with the Lord in all affairs of this world and generation, from age to age.
 
Jesus Christ has the keys of hell and death. God has thrown hell and death into an eternal lake of fire.  Jesus Christ has overcome all our obstacles and has purified the Kingdom from all unrighteousness.  Now no abomination or unclean thing can enter in to His Kingdom. 
 
Revelation 21:27 And there shall in no wise enter into it any thing that defileth, neither whatsoever worketh abomination, or maketh a lie: but they which are written in the Lamb’s book of life.
 
All must be born again to see and enter the kingdom of God.  Nicodemus questions Jesus of being born again naturally.  So Jesus explains… except a man be born of water and Spirit (John 3:3-5). The water here is meaning the natural birth. Jesus is saying only those that are born naturally can then be born again of the Spirit. (born/washing of the word of God Ephesians 5:26-27; 1 Peter 1:22-23; Titus 3:4-7; James 1:18), and Spirit (John 3:3-8; John 1:12-14).  No one can Enter or See the Kingdom of God unless they are born again of His Spirit having been washed in His Word and His Blood. This begins with a repentive heart of your sin and receiving Jesus Christ as your Savior and asking to be baptized in the promise of the Father’s Holy Spirit. Once filled and sealed of the Holy Spirit he will teach you and guide you in the next steps and bring others to help. 
 
So even in this age, the Holy Ghost/Spirit washes and cleanses us by the Blood of the Lamb and the Word that is Spirit and life, the Testament of the Father concerning His Son and our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ.  We are become God’s temple and body.
 
Titus 3:4-7 But after that the kindness and love of God our Saviour toward man appeared, Not by works of righteousness which we have done, but according to his 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 Saviour; That being justified by his grace, we should be made heirs according to the hope of eternal life.
 
Luke 3:16-17 John answered, saying unto them all, I indeed baptize you with water; but one mightier than I cometh, the latchet of whose shoes I am not worthy to unloose: he shall baptize you with the Holy Ghost and with fire; Whose fan is in his hand, and he will thoroughly purge his floor, and will gather the wheat into his garner; but the chaff he will burn with fire unquenchable.
 
Allow God to write the Testament of Jesus Christ, the Lamb of God upon your heart and put in your mind... He is the Alpha and Omega.  The Fullness of God.  Now being made manifest in you and You In The Lamb of God! who is in His Kingdom and on His Throne.  (Ephesians 3:14-21; John 14:20-23) He’s bringing you Home.
 
This Blood Covenant of the Lamb of God is the Power of God working in you, as your assurance and anchor that the job will be done.
 
Ephesians 3:14-21
v16 That he would grant you, according to the riches of his glory, to be strengthened with might by his Spirit in the inner man;
v17 That Christ may dwell in your hearts by faith; that ye, being rooted and grounded in love,
v18 May be able to comprehend with all saints what is the breadth, and length, and depth, and height;
v19 And to know the love of Christ, which passeth knowledge, that ye might be filled with all the fulness of God.
v20 Now unto him that is able to do exceeding abundantly above all that we ask or think, according to the power that worketh in us,
v21 Unto him be glory in the church by Christ Jesus throughout all ages, world without end. Amen.
 
Jesus Christ, the Lamb of God has overcome all things, and we overcome all things by His Blood, and the word of our testimony.
 
Get your mind off hell and death, and the devil, and focus on the Victory and Blessings of the Lord Jesus Christ, the Lamb of God!  He is our key to enter His Kingdom and to live life more abundantly.  It is done. 
 
Amen.

God's Grace

God’s Grace is the Outcome, Produce, Result of God’s Riches At Christ’s Expense.  This is one of those paradigms from the Lord that gets passed on but no one knows who it came through first, but we do know it came from the Lord.
 
The Sufferings of Jesus Christ in His Body and on the Cross and in the Shedding of His Blood IS Sufficient for all creation throughout all generations and ages.
 
Jesus Christ is the Obedient One.  And in His obedience and faith, and trust to the Father, HE Endured It All... having committed no sin but endured it as if He had…for us and on our behalf. Thank you Lord!
 
He fulfilled the debt of sin so that we all may Receive the Benefit of the Gift of Eternal Life and Righteousness:  which is Right Standing with God in Peace, Health and Good Will. Through Faith and Belief of the One God who sent His Son into our prison so that whoever receives the Son may be made Free.  Free from lack of LIFE.
 
Through Jesus Christ and In Him Only we are Redeemed and Reconciled back into harmony with our Creator who is the Only God and Savior.
 
So when you think of GRACE, this is what should be in your mind... and so much more concerning Christ Jesus, God’s Anointed Word that was manifested in the flesh, Who we now Know in the Spirit, and have now received in our own soul, as Savior and King of our life.
 
Oh Hallelujah!!!  Oh Happy Day... when Jesus Christ washed away our sin, and overcame death; now sin and death have no more dominion over us any more (Romans 6:10-14) because of Jesus Christ!
 
Romans 6:14  For sin shall not have dominion over you: for ye are not under the law, but under grace.
 
You are Not under sin, therefore there is no death, for that law of sin and death has been fulfilled.  GRACE is your covering.  And Under GRACE there is the Provision…. Fully Paid for by Jesus Christ’s Blood…. For Healing, Health, and Cure… and Soooo Much More in His Abundant LIFE.
 
His Covering is GRACE ruling…
His Provision is GRACE abounding…
By the works of Jesus Christ, We Can Rest... and Receive the Riches of his GRACE in his KINDNESS toward us, through Christ Jesus (Ephesians 2:7).
 
God’s GRACE is Sufficient for each day!
 
Romans 5:2 By whom also we have ACCESS by faith INTO this GRACE wherein we Stand, and Rejoice in hope of the glory of God.
 
Jesus Christ’s sufferings were enough for us all. And Enough for the Father too.  In His suffering the Father has removed the enmity out of the way, so Now We Can Have Communion... Have a Relationship with the Father IN LOVE and PEACE and HEALTH. What a Fellowship! This Is Our Home. The Home with the Perfect Father’s Heart towards us for Good, not evil.  Desiring His Best for our life.  Desiring Our Life in His Best!
 
Rejoice and Give Praise DAILY... For God has given us His Gift of Eternal Life, and this Life is In His Son, and Whoever Receives His Son Receives GRACE and the Blessings and Benefits of His GRACE.
 
Jesus Christ’s Sufferings was Enough for us!!!!  No suffering we endure can add to or take away from the Sufficiency of what He endured for us... It Is Done.  
 
Today is the Day of Rejoicing!  Hallelujah!  Day of Jubilee!!!
Praise The Lord!!!
 
Ephesians 3:17-21
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. Now unto him that is able to do exceeding abundantly above all that we ask or think, according to the power that worketh in us, Unto him be glory in the church by Christ Jesus throughout all ages, world without end. Amen.
 
Amen.

The Witness In You - God's Testament of His Son

The Witness in you is the Father's record of His Son In You.  The Living Quickening Spirit. 

John 14:20-21
At that day ye shall know that I am in my Father, and ye in me, and I in you.
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.

“At That Day” is the day the Lord “made all things new”... and for you it is the day that you HEARD the GOSPEL OF JESUS CHRIST being preached by That Holy Spirit through His Minister, and you BELIEVED Him and asked Him to come in to your heart as your Lord and Saviour and for the forgiveness of your sin.

Ephesians 1:13-14
In whom ye also trusted, after that ye heard the word of truth, the gospel of your salvation: in whom also after that ye believed, ye were sealed with that holy Spirit of promise, Which is the earnest of our inheritance until the redemption of the purchased possession, unto the praise of his glory.

John 14:23
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 Word that is Jesus Christ, our Saviour and Salvation, is being written in our hearts and put in our mind as The Blood Covenant of Jesus Christ.... in us declaring His Grace through His Righteousness unto Eternal Life abiding in us, instead of sin and death working in us.  He has sealed us with This Testament and Record of the Father... 

God’s Word is your Salvation and Saviour, abiding in your Soul.

God’s Word that was made flesh, that now we know in Spirit... That Holy Spirit... and if you have Received Him then the Lord is abiding in you.

And the Lord is In You to cause you to be REDEEMED, or can say to become One with Him AS He IS... the Son of God, Co-Heir in the Inheritance of the First Born of God (WOW!)... His Body now appearing in the Earth reconciling all from age to age....

John 1:12-14  But as many as received him, to them gave he power to become the sons of God, even to them that believe on his name:  Which were born, not of blood, nor of the will of the flesh, nor of the will of man, but of God.  And the Word was made flesh, and dwelt among us,....

That power IS the gospel of Jesus Christ that the Holy Spirit is writing and putting in your souls... yet a little bit at a time, He is revealing Him to you....  making you free in every area of your life.

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

Ephesians 4:4-5 There is one body, and one Spirit, even as ye are called in one hope of your calling;
One Lord, one faith, one baptism, One God and Father of all....

2 Corinthians 5:14-17 *16 Wherefore henceforth know we no man after the flesh: yea, though we have known Christ after the flesh, yet now henceforth know we him no more.

Meaning we know Christ Jesus after the Spirit. He ascended to the Father so that HE could come in us – HIS BODY.  And it is THIS NATURAL BODY, many member, made One by that One Holy Spirit, that is appearing in the earth, and is in the spirit realm too.  That Holy Spirit: the Father and Son make their abode in us.  For there is only One Lord and Father and Spirit.  The Spirit of the Son was and is the Father that was in Christ Jesus.  He ascended back to the Father so they could abide in us and cause us to be One with Them/Him... for They are One Spirit.  (Hebrews 12:22-24)

1 John 5:7 For there are three that bear record in heaven, the Father, the Word, and the Holy Ghost: and these three are one.

1 John 5:20 And we know that the Son of God is come, and hath given us an understanding, that we may know him that is true, and we are in him that is true, even in his Son Jesus Christ.  This is the true God, and eternal life.

May the Lord open up your understanding that you may behold the Lord Jesus Christ and be changed into the same image, the Son of God.  For the Lord has given you the Atonement by His Blood and Spirit now revealed in your Soul, and has made you One with the Son in the Father.  Reconciled.

2 Corinthians 3:16-18
Nevertheless when it shall turn to the Lord, the veil shall be taken away.  Now the Lord is that Spirit: and where the Spirit of the Lord is, there is liberty. 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.

If you are not reconciled yet with the Lord (made one with Him), then repent of your sin, receiving Jesus Christ as your Savior, God's only begotten Son, and Lamb of God for the atonement in His blood for the forgiveness of your sin, and ask the Lord Jesus to baptize and seal you with the gift of the Father's Holy Spirit so you may be sealed unto God forever ... Redeemed and Reconciled to God... never to be separated again.

Ephesians 1:1-23 *13-14 In whom ye also trusted, after that ye heard the word of truth, the gospel of your salvation: in whom also after that ye believed, ye were sealed with that holy Spirit of promise, Which is the earnest of our inheritance until the redemption of the purchased possession, unto the praise of his glory. 

Amen.

Mind of God: The Witness and Record of the Father

God desires us to have the mind of Christ, which is the mind of God.  Mind... meaning to have His Spirit be the Spirit that is working in each of our souls.
 
1 Corinthians 2:10-16  *11-12,16 For what man knoweth the things of a man, save the spirit of man which is in him? even so the things of God knoweth no man, but the Spirit of God.  Now we have received, not the spirit of the world, but the spirit which is of God; that we might know the things that are freely given to us of God.....For who hath known the mind of the Lord, that he may instruct him? But we have the mind of Christ.
 
To have the mind or Spirit of Christ and to walk in the Spirit of the Lord, producing His fruit which is spoken of in Galatians 5:22:
 
Galatians 5:22-23  But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, longsuffering, gentleness, goodness, faith, meekness, temperance: against such there is no law.
 
Let’s continue reading Galatians 5:24-25 to balance this out...
 
Galatians 5:24-25 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.
 
The works of the flesh are shown in verses 19-21.  So anything not producing the fruit of the Spirit of the Lord, as in verses 22-23, are the works of the spirit of the flesh.... that carnal mind (spirit).
 
God’s mind.... He does things different than the carnal mind... that is obvious.  Even though God can wipe out all things if he wanted to, He is love and has established His Government: His own rules, regulations, and requirements that are to be followed.  This is Love that is Strength, and Power.  Not weak and insufficient.  He is able to do and provide anything.  Yet it is done in wisdom... perfection.
 
Jesus provided food and money when it was necessary... supernaturally by His own desire.  Out of the Mind of God.  The Father that was with Him always told Jesus what to speak and do.  Even that moment when the Father became separate from Him for just a moment, because Jesus had taken on the sin of the world, and tasted it and death for us.  Oh Hallelujah!!!  But His Righteousness sustained Him, having done no sin, and the action of LOVE towards us was accomplished. The Work was done.  The Father’s Will was completed in, of and by His Son... for us.  Now we can rest in His Work and Righteousness!  Our work now, is to believe in the one that God has sent, and walk, producing the fruit of Faith in That Righteousness.
 
God produced our Salvation – through putting His Son through suffering of the cross and taking on the sin of the world, enduring the shame for us, and soooo much more.  God’s perfect plan was birthed through pain.... so that we wouldn’t have to.  Sure, we all go through issues but the Lord has endured the ultimate pain and suffering for all.  So, receive His lovingkindness now (Ephesians 2:7).  Endure the cross that the Father has planned for you, but KNOW that it isn’t anything compared to the punishment and judgement of sin, which Jesus took on His own flesh AND Soul for us!!!  It was enough.  That work was sufficient for our LIBERTY.  So Receive from the Father the abundance of this Grace that is in Christ Jesus and His Work... and REST IN HIM, knowing the Father will provide for you.  (Just listen to His instructions and directions daily, and be obedient.)
 
His Righteousness!  Oh Hallelujah!  The Father was Pleased in Him, for the Faith of the Son Believed and Obeyed the Father’s Will.  This is AWESOME!! Walk in the Faith of the Son.!
 
Now this is the Mind of God that is being birthed and working in each one of our souls.  Having an obedient mind to the will and plan of our Father.  Moving in perfect harmony.  So now the Father has to process us in and through the cleaning process – which is Jesus Christ the Word, Bread, Water, Blood of Life...
 
...By the washing of the Water that is the Word of God, the testimony and witness of the Father (Spirit of God) is being written in your heart and put in your mind to DECLARE the RIGHTEOUSNESS of the Son – the Lamb of God for you.
 
Washing and Cleansing us in the Son as we are placed in the habitation of God the Father, which is prepared for us in the Son... co-heir of God, first born inheritance, ....oh what Glory and Life !!!!  Eternally done.  Completed.
 
By The Blood (Spirit of Life) speaking the eternal sound that is LIFE, or could say “trumpeting” the voice of Righteousness in our souls... GOD’s WORD of Victory for you.  Sealing and stamping you Holy, for Jesus Christ has made His home in your soul and you are cleansed by This Word of God manifested in your soul.  His Presence In you Sanctifies You.  It makes you Clean, Pure, Holy, Undefiled....  The Presence of Jesus Christ in you seals you as the property of the Father... eternally.  His Presence declares Righteousness on your behalf AND Makes You His Righteousness... having received the Atonement of God through that Blood and Spirit of the Son abiding in your soul.  That Spirit and Testimony speaking in you is CHANGING YOU, TRANSFORMING YOU into the same image of the Son of God... Causing you to be ONE MIND working in you, and it is that Mind/Spirit of the Father operating in you (Philippians 3:21; 2 Corinthians 3:17-18); and bringing you into the place in the Son that the Father has prepared for you (John 14:20-23; John 14:1-4; John 1:12-14; 1 John 5:6-14).  The Testimony of Jesus Christ IS that Holy Spirit that was in Jesus Christ and raised Him from the grave!  The Witness of the Father!
 
So, it is by that same Holy Spirit that raised Jesus from the grave of sin and death, that is washing and renewing and regeneration (rebirthing) your mind/soul.  Oh the mystery of the Lord! (Romans 8:11)
 
These scriptures are worth reading and meditating on.... These are only a few of the scriptures that will concur what is written above:
Ephesians 5:26-27
John 3:3-5
James 1:18,21
1 John 5:1-15
Hebrews 8:10
Hebrews 10:16-24
Hebrews 12:22-29 *22-24
2 Corinthians 5:1-5,14-16,18-21
1 Corinthians 15:23-28
Hebrews 2:7-11 *8-9
2 Timothy 1:9-10
2 Corinthians 3:16-18
1 Corinthians 12:11-14
1 Corinthians 6:19-20
2 Corinthians 6:16
Romans 3:21-22,23-26
Romans 12:1-2,5
Titus 3:4-7
 
Only THIS RIGHTEOUS ONE can help you.  And He is all the help you need.  The Father and Son are making you their habitation, if they haven’t done so already. (John 14:20-23; 1 Cor 6:19-20; 1 Cor 3:16-17)
 
REJOICE in the LORD ALWAYS!  For the King of Glory is Come!  He is Lord and King of you and His Mind is the Spirit of the Lord that has married your soul.  Enjoined by the Blood of the Lamb.  Allow the Son to be revealed through you.  Allow the Lord to swallow up and remove what is dead....Circumcising your heart.  Rise Up from Your Grave and shake off those grave clothes.  Let the King of Glory swallow you up... Clothe you in His Righteous Garments... declaring His Righteousness in His face, now shining through you.!
 
2 Corinthians 4:6-7 For God, who commanded the light to shine out of darkness, hath shined in our hearts, to give the light of the knowledge of the glory of God in the face of Jesus Christ.  But we have this treasure in earthen vessels, that the excellency of the power may be of God, and not of us.
 
Awww.... the smell of LIFE ... now that is AWESOME!  ... no more I, but Christ... Gal 2:20
 
It is His desire and Mind to cause us to become His Righteousness now shining in this world.
 
2 Corinthians 5:21 ...be ye reconciled to God.  For he hath made him to be sin for us, who knew no sin; that we might be made the righteousness of God in him.
 
Amen.

Released from Prison

Sometimes getting out of your prison means to just walk out, or could say just stop doing what is causing the problem... then don't look back or return to the same behaviors and influences.  And when and if it is too tough a pull on you, cry out to the Lord and Thank Him for what He did on the Cross and Rose from the Grave for you.... Your Deliverance will manifest.  But DON'T go back to the behavior or circumstance He pulled you out of. 
 
Ask the Lord to increase the hunger in you for Him.   But you are going to have to make a choice of who you will serve Today...each day until that pull is destroyed by the Lord.  Leave the old life’s ways ... and don’t look back.  
 
This is why you could be having those flip flop moments, riding the fence balancing acts, one minute in then out again experiences..... a double minded person is unstable in all his ways (James 1:8). Ask of the Lord and Receive His Wisdom and His Righteousness will keep you in safety, IF you will follow and listen and obey Him.  We get ourselves in trouble by not doing what He is telling us to do in each day and moment. He’s directing us for our good and safety... So listen and understand and obey.
 
Ask for Wisdom, and Ask for the Understanding, and Ask for the Knowledge of Jesus Christ that your house may be built and anchored and filled with the Lord.
 
Make Jesus your choice Daily, and allow Him to wash you in His Presence, then the body of the sins of the flesh will fall away. 
 
Daily Washing and Nourishment from Him will make you Strong. 
 
Make Jesus the focus of every day, then the devil has no hold on you, and the body of sin will fall away.  Jesus has already destroyed the devil and the works of the devil (Hebrews 2:14-15 and 1 John 3:8-9), but until your mind knows that and is become real to you... well, you can’t walk in what you don’t know or understand.  So allow the Holy Spirit to wash you in the Word of Salvation which is the Spirit and Life of Jesus Christ.  Be the student and allow the teacher to teach you... provide time daily for Him to have your full attention. Nourish this relationship.... not the ones that are trying to steal, kill, and destroy you. Walk away from that.  There’s more that could be said here, but start with this, and the Lord will make himself known to you (John 14:20-23)
 
You don't have to keep trying to "decrease", but rather let your thoughts and meditation be on Christ Jesus, then as He reveals Himself to you more and more (increasing in you), the carnal nature and spirit will automatically decrease and cease from your existence.... Jesus Christ will and is circumcising your heart and the old is falling away and His Life is coming forth... Enter In To The Promise and Kingdom of God.
 
Isaiah 26:3-4 Thou wilt keep him in perfect peace, whose mind is stayed on thee: because he trusteth in thee. Trust ye in the Lord for ever: for in the Lord Jehovah is everlasting strength:
 
Romans 8:6 For to be carnally minded is death; but to be spiritually minded is life and peace.
 
Amen.

Hearing God's Word Produces Faith...

Hearing God’s Word Produces Faith

Romans 10:17
So then faith cometh by hearing, and hearing by the word of God

"Faith without Works is as a Pen without Ink”
“Faith without ‘God’s Word’ is like a Sail without Wind"

The Word of God comes Before Faith, so
Have faith in God – His Word in (for) your situation... then Walk Believing His Word.
Faith in Anything else is Vanity.

Hear – Listen – Hear His Voice and Faith will Appear

Romans 10:17
So then faith cometh by hearing, and hearing by the word of God

Hebrews 11:1
Now Faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen.

But after God’s Word is spoken in your heart, and Faith appears, you must walk in belief of the word that God has spoken in your heart.  Walking in Belief is the working of Faith.

Faith without works is dead.  So the just shall walk by faith.
God has spoken... now go forward in His Word, believing His Will for you is accomplished... now walk into the miracle and blessing He has set before you.  Don’t judge by the natural eye, but rather by the eternal eye which is the Holy Spirit that is the one and only God, now abiding in your midst.  Thank you to the Father and the Son, Christ Jesus: the One True God and Eternal Life (1 John 5:20).

Amen.
