One Baptism

Ephesians 4:1-7 *5 One Lord, one faith, one baptism,…

So there is only one baptism that we are to be baptized by.  Only one baptism that will make a difference in our spirit, soul and body. 

What is that Baptism?  It is Jesus’ Baptism of His Holy Spirit: The Father’s Promise and Gift.

So what is the Baptism that Jesus provided?  To see that let’s take a look at John’s baptism and purpose of it.

John’s Baptism… He was sent by the Father to reveal Jesus to Israel. 

John 1:29-31 The next day John seeth Jesus coming unto him, and saith, Behold the Lamb of God, which taketh away the sin of the world.  This is he of whom I said, After me cometh a man which is preferred before me: for he was before me.  And I knew him not: but that he should be made manifest to Israel, therefore am I come baptizing with water….

V32-33 And John bare record, saying, I saw the Spirit descending from heaven like a dove, and it abode upon him.  And I knew him not: but he that sent me to baptize with water, the same said unto me, Upon whom thou shalt see the Spirit descending, and remaining on him, the same is he which baptizeth with the Holy Ghost.

V34 And I saw, and bare record that this is the Son of God.

John was under the Law of Sin and Death which was a working of the Flesh. It revealed sin which produced death. Jesus came in under that law as the last Adam to fulfill every jot and tittle of that law according to the flesh.  He was and is God’s Lamb, the eternal sacrifice that fulfilled the debt due and accomplished the working of all Righteousness and Judgment according to the flesh under that law.

Now once Jesus was manifested to Israel, there was no more need for the baptism by John, but Jesus then stepped forward, and John was taken out of the way having fulfilled God’s purpose through him. 

Jesus’ Baptism, which the Father said was to be done, was then in operation.  Jesus began to preach and say repent of your sin, also.  But there was something different in His purpose and ministry.  A change was starting to take place in the land.  A new Priest had stepped in and a new Order was beginning to be manifested, yet only as the old one was being fulfilled and then removed out of the way.  Heaven and Earth were being shaken.

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:

V17 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.

This He did to that generation, but now He does in us… for He desires for us to be His dwelling place…His body.(Ephesians 1:22-23, 1 Corinthians 12, Romans 12:5, plus many more).

Jesus began speaking and preaching the Words of the Father.  The POWER of God was speaking in the earth!  All that the Father commanded of Him to do.  The baptism was in the Spirit now, not in the literal water.  And fire was included.   He was washing and cleansing them in the words of the Father.  A change was happening.  The earth and heaven was beginning to shake!  (This is huge. There is so much to this that can be declared, but I will do my best to stay focused on His baptism, for today.)

2 Peter 3:10-13  v10 But the day of the Lord will come as a thief in the night; in the which the heavens shall pass away with a great noise, and the elements shall melt with fervent heat, the earth also and the works that are therein shall be burned up.

v11 Seeing then that all these things shall be dissolved, what manner of persons ought ye to be in all holy conversation and godliness,

v12 Looking for and hasting unto the coming of the day of God, wherein the heavens being on fire shall be dissolved, and the elements shall melt with fervent heat?

v13 Nevertheless we, according to his promise, look for new heavens and a new earth, wherein dwelleth righteousness.

Wow! This fulfilling and removing of the old law and order was shaking heaven and earth!  A new order and Priesthood (Priest and King after the order of Melchisedec) was coming forth and being established! Oh Hallelujah! God’s New Heaven and Earth was about to be revealed and established. 

So this passage in 2 Peter isn’t about a future judgment in our days, but it was about the changing of the order in that generation….A Fulfillment and Removing of the Law of Sin and Death in the working of the Flesh.  And the Establishing of a New Law which is the Law of the Spirit of Life in Christ Jesus which was and is a working of Faith in the Grace of the Lamb of God Jesus Christ.  (Romans 8:1-4)

In the death of Jesus Christ the fulfillment of this law of sin and death was completed. Payment in Full.  Sin removed. Death abolished (2 Timothy 1:10; Romans 8:3; Romans 6:14; and more).

Hebrews 7:16 Who is made, not after the law of a carnal commandment, but after the power of an endless life.

V18 For there is verily a disannulling of the commandment going before for the weakness and unprofitableness thereof.

V19 For the law made nothing perfect, but the bringing in of a better hope did; by the which we draw nigh unto God.

Christ In You is Your Hope of Glory, Victory, Deliverance, Liberty, Freedom of Death and Sickness, Disease, Lack and decay of any kind.  HE IS LIFE ETERNAL and HE IS GOD (John 5:20).  HE IS OUR BLESSING! We are eternally blessed with His Presence in us, and He desires for us to abide In Him, where He is (John 17:24).  So He has joined with us and is bringing us in to our home and promised land.

John 17:24 Father, I will that they also, whom thou has given me, be with me where I am; that they may behold my glory, which thou hast given me: for thou lovedst me before the foundation of the world.

Call upon Him and allow Him to bring you into a deeper relationship and working of His Spirit that is holy.  The Lord is a mystery, and only by His Spirit can He be revealed to us. And only by His Holy Spirit within our inner man, can we possibly understand the Lord and behold Him in His Glory.

Colossians 1:26-27 Even the mystery which hath been hid from ages and from generations, but now is made manifest to his saints: To whom God would make known what is the riches of the glory of this mystery among the Gentiles; which is Christ in you, the hope of glory:

You heard the word of God concerning His Salvation and Savior, Jesus Christ.  Your heart acknowledged your sin and repented.  You asked Jesus to come in to your heart as Savior and to wash away your sins. And He did.  Not only to abide in you as your sanctification, but to now wash you, free you, and revive you!.... to raise up your soul and body out of death and sin, and to cause you to enter into His Kingdom which is Righteousness, Peace, and Joy in His Holy Spirit (Romans 14:17).  Today is your Day of Salvation. 

Little bit at a time the Lord is releasing you into the Place He has prepared for you …in Himself in the Father.  The Power and Glory of the Lord is too awesome to do this birthing at one time, so He reveals Himself to you a little bit at a time, so you are not overwhelmed in His Presence.

He’s anchored you in His Spirit.  He’s secured you in His Word. His provision of Grace is sufficient for every day’s journey, until you are filled with the fullness of God and come to the end of your Faith (Ephesians 4:19).

So what does all this have to do with baptism?  Everything.  As  you are reading and receiving His words in this message, the Holy Spirit is washing you and cleansing you and freeing you, so that you may go forward into His Kingdom and begin to rule and reign with Him from there.  This is the purpose of Jesus Christ baptizing you with and in His holy Spirit from the Father.  So to be endued with His Power to become sons of God….With Him.

1 Corinthians 12:13 For by one Spirit are we all baptized into one body,…and have been all made to drink into one Spirit.

But unless Jesus Christ baptizes you in His Holy Spirit… you cannot be born again. You will still be walking dead.  He can save you, but you will not be able to produce of Him.  Only by His Spirit working in you… His Power… can you enter and abide in the place prepared for you in Himself (John 14: 2-3).  The Spirit has to raise you up… just as He did for Jesus (Romans 8:9-11, 2 Corinthians 4:14 and 5:5, Hebrews 9:14, plus more).

Romans 8:9-11 *11 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.

2 Corinthians 4:14 and 5:5  v14 Knowing that he which raised up the Lord Jesus shall raise up us also by Jesus, and shall present us with you.

V5 Now he that hath wrought us for the selfsame thing is God, who also hath given unto us the earnest of the Spirit.

Hebrews 9:14 How much more shall the blood of Christ, who through the eternal Spirit offered himself without spot to God, purge your conscience from dead works to serve the living God?

Jesus’ baptism of His Holy Spirit gives you Power to become sons of God.  You are endued with power from the Father (John 1:12-14; Luke 24:49). 

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, (and we beheld his glory, the glory as of the only begotten of the Father,) full of grace and truth.

Luke 24:49 And, behold, I send the promise of my Father upon you: but tarry ye in the city of Jerusalem, until ye be endued with power from on high.

His ability abiding and working in you to WASH YOU, CLEANSE YOU, and SET/MAKE YOU FREE.  Causing you to be seated in heavenly places in Christ, even while abiding in the earth.

You’ll be producing after His Spirit, Producing His Fruit/Character.  The new man, the 2^nd man after the image of the Son of God is birthed forth through your soul.  You and the Son have become one, and one with the Father too. 

This process works like this: The Holy Spirit declares Jesus to You from one of God’s anointed ones (ministers). As you sit in His Presence (Holy Spirit) and receive His Word of Salvation which is Jesus Christ, He sends His Holy Spirit into your heart and seals you with His Spirit as His own property.

Ephesians 1:13 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 your inheritance…

You heard His words and now are sealed with His Holy Spirit. Then the Holy Spirit, which is the Lord continues to declare your salvation to you and reveals Jesus Christ to you.  In the meeting of the Lord in your soul, you are washed, and cleansed and the old garments are being removed and His Righteousness, Peace, Joy are filling your Soul, and the new Garments of Him as Priest and King are covering you.  Your Identity is changing.  Oh Hallelujah!  You are being born from above. 

2 Corinthians 3:17-18  v17 Now the Lord is that Spirit: and where the Spirit of the Lord is, there is liberty.

V18 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.

Jesus Christ is that Spirit.  The Father is that Spirit.  They have made their home in you.  Now time for clean up and putting His house in order.  The Holy Spirit also begins to release in you and through you His Gifts, and the Lord’s Administrations, and God’s Operations begin to flow (1 Corinthians 12).

You and the Son of God have become one, and you are growing up, maturing into the fullness of the character of the Son of God (Ephesians 4:12-16).

Ephesians 4:12-16 *13 Till we all come in the unity of the faith, and of the knowledge of the Son of God, unto a perfect man, unto the measure of the stature of the fullness of Christ:…

Jesus Christ is God’s Word.  His Words are Spirit and Life.  His Word is Judge.  The Blood that Speaks declares His Righteousness within you.  Liberation comes forth in the presence of the Lord, for the Lord is that Spirit and where the presence of the Lord is there is Liberty… and we are beholding His Glory and are changed into the same image of the Son of God, Jesus Christ.

Jesus spoke in that generation and His words were the Father’s words.  They are spirit and life. Jesus’ words were washing that generation then, and even today, the very testimony of the Father concerning the Son, washes and cleanses us, and makes us free….IF we Receive them.

John 15:3 Now ye are clean through the word which I have spoken unto you.

John 6:63-64 It is the spirit that quickeneth; the flesh profiteth nothing: the words that I speak unto you, they are spirit, and they are life. But there are some of you that believe not.

John 17:6 I have manifested thy name unto the men which thou gavest me out of the world: thine they were, and thou gavest them me; and they have kept thy word…

V8 For I have given unto them the words which thou gavest me; and they have received them, …

V14 I have given them thy word, and the world hath hated them, because they are not of the world, even as I am not of the world…

V17 Sanctify them through thy truth: they word is truth….

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,….

Jesus was washing the world before He went to the cross.  He spoke the Father’s Words which are Spirit and Life.  Those that received them reaped of them in LIFE Eternal.  Those that rejected them reaped of them in Fire Eternal.

Now He is baptizing us: washing and cleansing us as the Holy Spirit speaks and declares Jesus Christ and the Father to us daily.  Jesus gave an example to the apostles to wash each other’s feet.  Here I see the preparation of the gospel of peace which we are to put on.  This is part of our armor spoken of in Ephesians 6: 15.

Ephesians 6:15 And your feet shod with the preparation of the gospel of peace;…

The Preparation is what Jesus’ does to us when He baptizes us in His Holy Spirit.  He prepares us… equips us for the journey.  So we Walk in His Spirit, and by His Spirit, having Faith in the Grace provided by Jesus Christ.

As you are maturing, you will stand more steadfast and abide in Christ Jesus, as He manifests Himself through you to wash others… as He has instructed (John 13).  Now you are His anointed one WITH HIM.  Without Him you can do Nothing (John 15:3-5*).

So, to be baptized in physical water, without the true baptism of the Word of God whom is Jesus Christ, will profit you little, because it is only a working of the flesh.  Jesus Christ will send and seal you with His Holy Spirit that will never leave you nor forsake you.  This is the Lord having come for you to bring you: spirit, soul, and body, into His kingdom and into the place in Himself in the Father which is prepared just for you.

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.

Let the Anointed One abide in you, and you in Jesus Christ God’s Anointed one: God’s Word of Salvation.  Go and Wash One Another.

Amen.

Jesus' Coat of Many Colors

Joseph's Coat of Many Colors is symbolic of 

Jesus "wearing" Us…His Many Membered (colored) Body

Genesis 37:3

Now Israel loved Joseph more than all his children, because he was the son of his old age: and he made him a coat of many colours.

1 Corinthians 12:12-27

1 Cor 12:12 For as the body is one and hath many members,...

1 Cor 12:13 For by one Spirit are we all baptized into one body,...

1 Cor 12:27 Now ye are the body of Christ, and members in particular.

By One Spirit we are all baptized into one body.  That one body is Christ Jesus.

Ephesians 4:4  There is one body, and one Spirit, even as ye are called in one hope of your calling;…

Ephesians 1:22-23 And hath put all things under his feet, and gave him to be the head over all things to the church, Which is his body, the fullness of him that filleth all in all.

Clothed not in the body of sin, for He has overcome that one, but clothed in His body that is without sin... having washed and cleansed us.

GLORY of the Father! (John 17)

Amen.

Jesus' Earth was Redeemed from the Curse

(Part 1 and Part 2 together)

What does that mean?  First ask what did Jesus do for us?  His Body was wounded for our transgressions, marred to the point of no recognition, was separated from Life who is the Father so to taste death for us all, and experienced death for our sin.  It was all done because the LOVE of the Father for US was in the Son.  He tasted death for us and took all our punishment and wrath from the Father for sin, on His own flesh.  He Paid the Full Price of sin under the Law of sin and death.  His earthen body took all the curse on Himself, so that we could have a better life…no…a Perfect Life with the Father.  He Paid Our Debt and Removed the curse far away from us.  Now we can have PEACE with God, our Father.
 
After having taken on the sin of the world and the curse of the law by hanging on that tree, the Cross,… His Spirit and Soul had not sinned, and death was not able to hold Him.  He was acting out in Obedience to the Father and in the Love of the Father for us and all creation. He became our eternal Forgiveness and Redemption…the Lamb of God that takes away the sin of the world forever.  The Blood of Jesus Speaks.... He is Our Righteousness.
 
His Body took on the sin nature of the first Adam, but His Spirit was sinless.  He had the Spirit of the Father in Him.  The first Adam was disobedient to God and allowed the disobedient spirit to rule his soul.  That’s why he was removed from God’s Garden/Presence and the earth was then cursed.  He was separated from Life, and death ruled his body.
 
Jesus took on that sinful nature, but His Spirit could not sin. And His Soul was obedient even unto death, and beyond.  Worthy Is The Lamb of God!!!!  And then Jesus took on the sin of the world and the Father then separated from Him for a moment of time.  Then the Lamb's blood touched the earth from the cross, and the curse stopped.  His blood speaks.
 
Then after His death and burial and resurrection.... Jesus ascended to the Father to apply His Blood there ... the Last Adam corrected the wrong of the first Adam.  Then the Second Man was appearing in the earth as the first fruit of the Spirit.  A New Law was coming forth, but the current law and order still had to go through the judgment to that generation.
 
The Father's Salvation plan to Reconcile us back to Him was finished.  It was done.   The Lamb had taken our sin for us, and His body took on our sin for us, so that we could be free from that sin nature and take on His Righteousness with Him, and walk in newness of life with Jesus Christ, without sin nor death nor the devil anymore.  Spirit, Soul and Body Reconciled through the precious Blood of the Lamb Jesus Christ. By Grace are we saved through faith... God's Gift to us through His Precious Son. By the Father's Word and Seed in our souls we are birthed forth of His Spirit who is Holy. (James 1:18; 1Peter 1:22-23; John 3:3-8; John 1:12-14; and more)
 
Romans 8:3 For what the law could not do, in that it was weak through the flesh, God sending his own Son in the likeness of sinful flesh, and for sin, condemned sin in the flesh.
 
His Soul was Obedient and Overcame all sin from the first Adam, providing redemption for all, and by the Spirit of the Father in Him raised His body as well as His soul from sin and death, having destroyed the devil and the works of the devil. 
 
That spirit of disobedience that was in the first man Adam was not allowed to rule in the 2^nd Man, the Savior and King over all men.  Jesus Christ had come in.  The Father was being reunited with His creation through His Son the perfect Lamb and Sacrifice.  Jesus Christ the Son of God and Lamb of God was now Priest and King over all creation in heaven and earth.   The Door to the Father.  The creature’s Savior and Lord has appeared.
 
As the Eternal Sacrifice, He who was without sin, took on our sin and paid the debt of sin for all mankind.  In this act of love, we are Freed from sin and death, through the believing and accepting of The Lamb of God and Resurrection.  GRACE is abounding and working in us to keep us in harmony with the Father…forever.
 
His Body felt the stripes of punishment for sin.  His Body took on our sin and died our death, so that…… the judgments of sin and death would be fulfilled under God’s law of sin and death which was operating at that time.  Jesus Christ accomplished all righteousness and judgment that was purposed under the law of sin and death. Now that law fulfilled, a new law is established.  And this new law is established on better promises and blood covenant.  The Law of the Spirit of life in Christ Jesus is eternally working.
 
God was able to bring in the better covenant and law once Jesus had fulfilled the requirements of the old one.  Now the New Law and Order is The Law of the Spirit…. Not the flesh.
 
Romans 8:1-2 There is therefore now no condemnation to them which are in Christ Jesus, who walk not after the flesh, but after the Spirit. V2 For the law of the Spirit of life in Christ Jesus hath made me free from the law of sin and death.
 
Now operating is The Law of the Spirit of Life in Christ Jesus and the Blood of the Lamb, which is the evidence in your soul of all sin paid and death removed. No more curse. Righteousness of Jesus Christ is what GRACE reigns through, and what brings us into a New Life that is in the Son of God: Eternal Life.
 
Romans 5:21 That as sin hath reigned unto death, even so might grace reign through righteousness unto eternal life by Jesus Christ our Lord.
 
Love Overcame sin and death for Jesus.  He felt the blows and the sting of sin that was under that law of sin and death.  He became our Savior and Sacrifice that was ABLE to fulfill the requirements of righteousness under that law and fulfilled the debt of sin, and tasted death for all mankind. 
 
His Body did taste of destruction caused by sin, but the Father did not leave Him there.  The Father’s promise to Jesus stood fast.  That Spirit of the Father raised Jesus up out of death and sin.  HIS BODY was FREED from sin and death!  He was the first to walk in the earth, in the body of the 2^nd man, the last Adam. Oh hear the Voice of the Lord!  Yes we can!
 
That means Your Body can walk victorious in the Health of the Resurrected One.
 
So behold the Glory of the Lord Jesus Christ and be married/joined to the Resurrected One.  For in His Victory and as our Overcomer we are given the promise and blessing of our Shepherd to be able to walk in newness of HIS Life, just as He walked in the earth in the body and soul and Spirit of the One who is without sin and death.
 
Romans 8:9-11 …v11 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’ Body, whom we are, was and is redeemed from the curse… Walk Victorious in Christ Jesus.

Romans 6:4-11 Therefore we are buried with him by baptism into death: that like as Christ was raised up from the dead by the glory of the Father, even so we also should walk in newness of life. v5 For if we have been planted together in the likeness of his death, we shall be also in the likeness of his resurrection: v6 Knowing this, that our old man is crucified with him, that the body of sin might be destroyed, that henceforth we should not serve sin. v7 For he that is dead is freed from sin. v8 Now if we be dead with Christ, we believe that we shall also live with him: v9 Knowing that Christ being raised from the dead dieth no more; death hath no more dominion over him. V10 For in that he died, he died unto sin once: but in that he liveth, he liveth unto God. v11 Likewise reckon ye also yourselves to be dead indeed unto sin, but alive unto God through Jesus Christ our Lord.
 
Romans 6:14 For sin shall not have dominion over you: for ye are not under the law, but under grace.
 
The Lamb is Here....Your earth is freed from sin and death and the devil.  Jesus Christ is your King, Priest, and Lamb of God eternally administering God's good gift of His Son in you.
 
In the Son Jesus Christ the promises are yea and Amen. No more curse or sin or death or devil in His life.   HE OVERCAME AND DESTROYED AND REMOVED the curse, sin, death and devil. Now, Grace reigns through Righteousness unto Eternal Life.  The Law of the Spirit of Life in Christ Jesus is working. Blessings are flowing in Christ Jesus, so abide in Him where there is no more sin nor curse nor death nor devil.
 
Now our spirit, soul and body can walk in Newness of Life, His Life.  We are Blessed.
 
Amen.

Made Righteous

Righteousness of the law (of sin and death)

Is fulfilled in us

Because Jesus fulfilled that law, and the witness and evidence of Jesus’ Death is in us

Romans 7:4-6

Wherefore, my brethren, ye also are become dead to the law by the body of Christ; that ye should be married to another, even to him who is raised from the dead, that we should bring forth fruit unto God.  For when we were in the flesh, the motions of sins, which were by the law, did work in our members to bring forth fruit unto death.

In His Death we are Made Righteous

2 Corinthians 5:20-21 …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.

Romans 5:19 …so by the obedience of one shall many be made righteous.

 1 Corinthians 1:30 But of him are ye in Christ Jesus, who of God is made unto us wisdom, and righteousness, and sanctification, and redemption:

Because He that is Love laid down His Life to pay for our sin

Righteousness Comes Forth

Sin is Condemned, Death reigns no more.

Romans 6:3-11

Know ye not, that so many of us as were baptized into Jesus Christ were baptized into his death?

4 Therefore we are buried with him by baptism into death: that like as Christ was raised up from the dead by the glory of the Father, even so we also should walk in newness of life.

5 For if we have been planted together in the likeness of his death, we shall be also in the likeness of his resurrection:

6 Knowing this, that our old man is crucified with him, that the body of sin might be destroyed, that henceforth we should not serve sin.

7 For he that is dead is freed from sin.

8 Now if we be dead with Christ, we believe that we shall also live with him:

9 Knowing that Christ being raised from the dead dieth no more; death hath no more dominion over him.

10 For in that he died, he died unto sin once: but in that he liveth, he liveth unto God.

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

Now Grace Reigns Through Righteousness

Unto Eternal Life

Romans 5:21

That as sin hath reigned unto death, even so might grace reign through righteousness unto eternal life by Jesus Christ our Lord.

Now Receiving Him,

We abide in Him (the Spirit of Christ)

In That Righteousness is His Blessing(s) and Benefit(s) of Glory

Romans 8:9-11

9 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.

10 And if Christ be in you, the body is dead because of sin; but the Spirit is life because of righteousness.

11 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.

We are Joined/Married to the Resurrection and Life

Now Justified (just as if you’d never sinned) – Now abiding in Newness of Life (no sin no death)

Romans 6:13-14

13 Neither yield ye your members as instruments of unrighteousness unto sin: but yield yourselves unto God, as those that are alive from the dead, and your members as instruments of righteousness unto God

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

Abiding in Newness of Life: In the Spirit of Christ and Glory, full of His Blessings and Benefits…

…Because of HIS Righteousness.

Romans 5:19 …so by the obedience of one shall many be made righteous.

Amen.

The Place Prepared

There is a Place Prepared just for you in the Father’s House.  Follow along and you’ll see and know the way…

John 14:2-3 In my Father’s house… are many mansions (dwelling places):…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 2:18 For through him we both have access by one Spirit unto the Father.

Ephesians 2:22 (Jesus Christ the Lamb of God) In whom ye also are builded together for an habitation of God through the Spirit.

Habitation of God… God builds His House through His Son, by His Son, and of His Son… we are become God’s Habitation!

Through His Holy Spirit … One Spirit that is Righteous, Holy, and Pure, we are joined by the Blood that Speaks and Declares the Righteousness of His Son Jesus Christ.

Ephesians 2:10 For we are his workmanship, created in Christ Jesus unto good works, which God hath before ordained that we should walk in them.

God causes us to become His Habitation… Dwelling Place…Resting Place.

The Place Prepared for us… John 14:2-3…IN His Son.

Jesus said this to his disciples before going to the cross.  He was making the Way by becoming the Way, for them and all, to enter the kingdom of God and be joined to the Father again.  All souls belong to God and He desires them.  So each according to God’s order and timing are “called” to come unto the Son, and their eyes are opened to see and believe in Jesus Christ, the Lamb of God that takes away the sin of the world.

No one can come to the Son unless the Father wills it so.  And no one can know the Father unless the Son reveals Him.  So in order for any soul to have eternal life, it must be willed by the Father and Son.

So the soul hears the calling of the Father to come to the Son, and enters through the veil which is the flesh of the Son, The Door and Way to the Father that is God.

Hebrews 10:19-21 Having therefore, brethren, boldness to enter into the holiest by the blood of Jesus, by a new and living way, which he hath consecrated for us, through the veil, that is to say, his flesh; and having an high priest over the house of God; let us draw near….

V22…Let us draw near with a true heart in full assurance of faith, having our hearts sprinkled from an evil conscience, and our bodies washed with pure water.

Cleansed in the Blood of the Lamb, and Washed by the Word of God.

John 15:3 (Jesus said) Now ye are clean through the word which I have spoken unto you.

Jesus said in John 3:3-5 v3 Jesus answered and said unto him, Verily, verily, I say unto thee, Except a man be born again he cannot see the kingdom of God…. v5 Jesus answered, Verily, verily, I say unto thee, Except a man be born of water and of the Spirit, he cannot enter into the kingdom of God…

1 Peter 1:23 Being born again, not of corruptible seed, but of incorruptible, by the word of God, which liveth and abideth forever.

John 1:12-14 But as many as receive him, to them gave he power to become the sons of God, even to them that believe on his name: v13 Which were born, not of blood, nor of the will of the flesh, nor of the will of man, but of God. v14 And the Word was made flesh, and dwelt among us…

James 1:18 Of his own will begat he us with the word of truth, that we should be a kind of firstfruits of his creatures….v21 …and receive with meekness the engrafted word, which is able to save your souls.

Ephesians 5:26-27 That he (Jesus) might sanctify and cleanse it (the church) with the washing of water by the word,…

Titus 3:4-6 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 (rebirth), and renewing (making new) of the Holy Ghost: Which he shed on us abundantly through Jesus Christ our Saviour;…

Jesus told them and tells us that we must be born again, or rather “born from above.”  This is through His Holy Spirit washing us and cleansing us in the Word of God and Blood of the Lamb: His only begotten Son Christ Jesus.

It was and is the Father’s pleasure to give us His Kingdom and become co-heirs with Christ Jesus, BUT, we must be born of Him.  And this birthing is the adoption of sons, or can also be said to be “the placing of sons” in the family.

God has Prepared His Place and Habitation for us to dwell in Him, which is In His Son, who is In Him.

John 14:20 At that day ye shall know that I am in my Father, and ye in me, and I in you.  Hallelujah!  Yet there is so much not seen or known of the Father and His Kingdom, so we continue to see the Son and Know Him and His Kingdom…For in knowing Him we will, and do know the Father and His Kingdom: for they are One.

As we hear the gospel of Jesus Christ preached, the Father draws us to His Son, and our hearts believe in the Son, repent of our sin(s), and Receive Jesus Christ as our Savior and into our souls as King and Priest.  Then the Father sends His Promise of the Spirit of Truth, by sealing you (infilling you) with His Holy Spirit.  Now that Holy Spirit is just the first manifestation of your inheritance (eternal life) revealed.  More of this new life is to be manifested in your life and will swallow up your old ways and mind with the Mind of the Son.

This is an awakening process.  Redemption is happening.  The Ransom is paid, but the delivery of the purchase (your soul) is gradually and gently being released into the Buyer’s hands.  The Owner has been waiting patiently. Making sure you are okay with each step of the transition into your new LIFE.  But during the process, the outcome is assured successful…GRACE ABOUNDS…your soul is anchored in Faith of the Overcomer Christ Jesus. Amen.

Ephesians 1:12-14 …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.

Use Your Patience. Have Endurance. GRACE ABOUNDS.  RIGHTEOUSNESS DECLARED.  You are Entering in to His Presence and being set in the place the Father has prepared for you in His Son.  For you and the Son have become joined together as one habitation for the Father…. Yet there are many other members too… each having their own place in the Son. (1 Corinthians 12)

All during this process, you are being filled with the fullness of God!  Step by step, victory to victory, faith to faith, and onward ….  God is manifesting Himself in you, to you, and through you. 

Ephesians 3:19 And to know the love of Christ, which passeth knowledge, that ye might be filled with all the fullness of God.

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

V18 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.

And in John 14:20-23 Jesus says that He will manifest himself to us. And in John 14:23 Jesus says that He and the Father will come and live IN US.

John 14:21 (Jesus said) 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.

John 14:23 (Jesus said) 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.

Can you believe this?

He has made you HIS HABITATION.  We are awakened in the Son, the same image. (2 Corinthians 3:16-18)

He makes us His Habitation, causing us, through His Son Jesus, to become Holy and Righteous.  A New Man is revealed, after the man without sin, the 2^nd Man, the last Adam, the Resurrection and Truth 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.

The Place Prepared…

John 14:2-3 In my Father’s house… are many mansions (dwelling places):…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.

Hasn’t Jesus come to you and knocked on your heart’s door? Haven’t you received Jesus as your Savior and asked him into your heart? 

He’s a gentleman that sent His Word to knock on your heart’s door, and you heard truth, opened up to Him and received Him into your soul.  Now Jesus Christ, who is God and Eternal Life is working in you to clean you up and set you in that place in Himself that is just for you.

Allow the Holy Spirit, your leader to direct you and establish your steps so that your journey out of death (Egypt/world) can be as easy as possible as you pass through the veil and eat of the Lamb and drink of His blood.  For this is the only way to see and enter in to His Promised Place for you…. In His Son.

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.

Amen.

Real Love

Herein is love, not that we loved God, but that he loved us,

and sent his Son to be the propitiation for our sins.  1 John 4:10

He Loved Us.... sooooo much that He created and gave up His Son to Redeem Us to Himself!

Awesome Love!  How can we neglect so great a love as this.?.!  Only if you don't understand it can one neglect His Love or count it as a religious fairy tale.

What Love, does the Son have for the Father, to endure the shame, the cross, the pain, the sin of the world yet commit no sin Himself.  He even cried out "take this cup from me" yet he only wanted the Father's Will and was willing to submit to the Father's will to be done..."but not my will but yours be done" Jesus said.

Jesus Christ depended on the Father to sustain Him.  He trusted the Father so He continued the journey to redeem us.  And Succeeded!  Praise You Lord and Savior!

Jesus Christ lived by the Father in Him.  We live by and through Jesus Christ and of the Father in us: Holy Spirit.  Jesus Christ was created to suffer Our Death for Us, so that we could Live with Him in His Glory.  We needed a Savior to pave the Way for us.  Death was a sure thing because of the sin of man.  But God made Jesus victorious and raised Him from death and the grave after having taken the sin of the world on Himself and died... He paid the ultimate price of sin which is death, and He did it for all Souls and all creation. 

Now the Father's love for the Son wasn't to keep Him in the grave, but to Raise Him as Conqueror over death and sin.  And this He did, making Jesus Christ King and Priest over all heaven And Earth forever.  Freed from sin and death, for His Soul was the only Soul that was without sin.  He.... HE Only is Worthy!!!!  And in Receiving the Son, God's Perfect Lamb, HE Makes Us Worthy to receive His Blessings and Benefits and to come unto the Father and be joined to the Father, also without sin and death.

Now we have Peace with God, and our Father is at Peace with us.

By this Blood that declares the Righteousness of the Son upon our soul, we can come boldly to the throne of grace and talk with God as our Father.  The love He has for Jesus His Son is the same love He has for us!

When we Believe and Receive the Work of Jesus Christ, and Accept Him as Our Savior and Eternal Sacrifice (Lamb of God), we too get to walk and rest in the Blessings and Benefits of Jesus Christ!  This is the Father's Desire and Will for us!  Yet the Father demands respect from us to the Son Jesus Christ, for He alone is the Head of us, His Body in the earth.

He is the Head of Us to lead us and guide us into a Better Life... Eternal Life in His Glory and Victory... His Kingdom that is in Heaven and on Earth.

What Love!  In this we see what Love really is.  Setting people free...  Stepping into their world to liberate them.  Sending that Word of Reconciliation into their world to make them free.  This is God's Will and Desire for you: to experience His Real Love.

Amen.

Worthy is the Lamb of God

Worthy is the Lamb of God….. By His obedience He has made it possible that we can reap of the blessings and benefits of the work of the Lamb.  

Praise the Lord God Almighty for He has sent forth His own Son to experience death for us and to raise Him out of that life of sin and unto the Life that is without sin, so that we may reap of His works and follow Him, and become sons with Him unto the Father.  Kings and Priests of God in this earth. What a working! What a Redemption!  What a Blessing and Benefit has God our Father produced for us!  His Way.  His Truth.  His Life.  Jesus Christ.

Revelation 21:3-7

…Behold the tabernacle of God is with men, and he will dwell with them, and they shall be his people, and God himself shall be with them, and be their God.

And God shall wipe away all tears from their eyes; and there shall be no more death, neither sorrow, nor crying, neither shall there be any more pain: for the former things are passed away…

Behold I make all things new….

It is done. I am Alpha and Omega, the beginning and the end.  I will give unto him that is athirst of the fountain of the water of life freely.

He that overcometh shall inherit all things; and I will be his God, and he shall be my son.

Revelation 12:10-11 And I heard a loud voice saying in heaven, Now is come salvation, and strength, and the kingdom of our God, and the power of his Christ: for the accuser of our brethren is cast down, which accused them before our God day and night. And they overcame him by the blood of the Lamb, and by the word of their testimony, and they loved not their lives unto the death.

…And they overcame him by the blood of the Lamb, and by the word of their testimony, and they loved not their lives unto the death…

We overcome by the Blood of the Lamb and the Word of “His” Testament, which is become Our Testimony.  Through Him we have become Overcomers and inherit all things of the Son, with the Son always as the Head of us, His body.

1 John 5:4-5 For whatsoever is born of God overcometh the world: and this is the victory that overcometh the world, even our faith.  Who is he that overcometh the world, but he that believeth that Jesus is the Son of God?

Worthy is the Lamb to have received all honor and glory from the Father!  Such Love towards Us has He made possible… that we would become His son with His Son… King and Priest with Jesus Christ, God’s Lamb… Our Sanctification and Redemption from all that would make us cry, or cause death, or sorrow, or pain…

Worthy is the Lamb!  He has made all things new, but there is only One Way to enter into this place of Victory and Peace… Only by the Receiving and Accepting of the Lamb of God His Son and His Blood that was shed on that cross.  Only by His stripes which He endured at the whipping post…  Only by His Word and Promise that was made flesh and endured all the punishment of sin and death FOR US. 

Jesus Christ, the Lamb of God, and Blood that speaks better things than Abel… the Perfect Blood Covenant for us to partake of and be Free by.  If you haven’t accepted Him then now is a good time to ask the Lord Jesus Christ to forgive you of your sin and to come into your heart and soul as your Savior and Lord. 

Now Enter into His Paradise, His Kingdom, His Place that was and is prepared for you who have received Him!

All Souls belong to God… some unto death that refuse their salvation through Jesus Christ, God’s Lamb to take away your sin, and some unto life that have received Him.  Allow your soul to join with the Blood of the Lamb and Be Free to Live His Life of Victory Today. 

By Grace Through Faith we are Saved.  Washed in His Blood and Water… Spirit and Word that is Holy and is Life…. Being Born from Above.  The Power that is God’s Presence now in you which is His Holy Spirit that you have now received and are sealed by since you have accepted the testament of His Son Jesus Christ…

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.

Now In You to bring you back home to Him… the place in His Son that has been prepared for you. 

That Place where there is no more crying, no more sorrow, no more pain… Righteousness, Peace, and Joy in the Holy Spirit.  God’s Kingdom.

Enter in through His Door: the Lamb of God.  His Veil: the Flesh and Blood of the Son… given so the world could be redeemed, and so you may enter into God’s presence without fear. 

Now through Faith working, that is, believing that the Son and Lamb of God is Able to raise each of us out of Hell and Death because of the work that was done on the cross and at the whipping post.  He has Paid Your Debt of Sin which produced Death.  He has fulfilled God’s law of sin and death and has removed it out of our way, so that now we may walk by faith and not by the works of our own flesh.  

We walk by faith of the works of Jesus Christ and through faith of Jesus Christ.  He alone is our strength and confidence to stand innocent before God.  In Him death is removed, debt of sin paid in full, and we by GRACE may walk in the Faith of the Son and be made free from fear and condemnation.  His Love abounds towards us always! His Love abides within us! His Blood Speaks volumes to sustain us in Innocence and Eternal Forgiveness!

The Lamb of God is Worthy!  He has unlocked the Book of Life so that all souls may be joined unto the Lamb and Enter into the communion of Love with our Father, without fear.

Worthy is the Lamb of God!

Revelation 5:9-10,12 And they sung a new song, saying, Thou art worthy to take the book, and to open the seal thereof: for thou wast slain, and hast redeemed us to God by the blood out of every kindred, and tongue, and people, and nation; And hast made us unto our God kings and priest; and we shall reign on the earth.  v12 Saying with a loud voice, Worthy is the Lamb that was slain to receive power, and riches, and wisdom, and strength, and honour, and glory, and blessing….

Revelation 21:1-7 And I saw a new heaven and a new earth: for the first heaven and the first earth were passed away; and there was no more sea.  And I John saw the holy city, new Jerusalem, coming down from God out of heaven, prepared as a bride adorned for her husband.

The NEW Jerusalem is the Heavenly one, not the one that was only a shadow of what was in heaven.  All that Moses did was a shadow concerning the True Tabernacle of God, and the True Heaven and Kingdom of God. 

This one is built by God on a more surety of a better covenant and promise that cannot be broken: By His own Blood and Flesh and Spirit: by His own Word and through His own Lamb. 

Now He is manifested in our own souls and through our own flesh, which both has been sanctified by His Blood and Flesh of Jesus Christ, the Lamb of God.  He in us is Our Full Payment of Debt to God SETTLED and PAID OFF For Ever Eternally Done.  It is Finished. Hallelujah!

He has made us Holy!  His presence in you Makes You HOLY!  You no longer can say “I’m not worthy” because that is almost like slapping God in the face. He IS YOUR Worthiness!  And because HE IS YOUR WORTHINESS, then You Can Receive His Blessings and Benefits!  Hallelujah!  Such a Victory!

Now through His own Holy Spirit He resides in our souls and we are become His Habitation and Tabernacle: His New Jerusalem having been birthed from above and made manifest in this earth.

This Is Yahweh’s Working. This is Almighty God’s Will that is Done and being done from generation to generation, age to age…By His Holy Spirit and Testament of the Father concerning His Son Jesus Christ being spoken and going forth into more souls…

Washing – Cleansing - Sanctifying and Redeeming the World unto Himself!

The Word of Reconciliation working…. Worthy is the Lamb!

Amen.
