Here is the testimony of the
crippled man by the pool, who was waiting for the angel to stir up the waters
so he and others could enter and be healed.
Yet only the first one to enter the water after it was stirred by the
angel would be healed. The crippled man
laid there for 38 years trying his best to reach the waters and be healed but
had no one to help him.
Then Jesus appears. The living water Himself. The Word of God who washes us by the very
breath He breathes on us, when He speaks…. For it is the Father that speaks
through Him.
And Jesus appears to this man and
speaks……
Jesus asks him, “Wilt thou be
made whole?” And the impotent man tells
Jesus his story of how he has tried to reach the waters but others kept beating
him to it.
Jesus speaks and says to him,
“Rise, take up thy bed, and walk.”
And immediately the man was made
whole, and took up his bed, and walked: and on the same day was the
Sabbath. You can read the rest of the
testimony in John 5, but for the message the Lord wants to give you here, I’m
going directly to verse 14 and show you what the Lord is telling me to give
you.
In verse 14 Jesus finds the man
again in the temple and tells him this:
John 5:14 Afterward Jesus findeth
him in the temple, and said unto him, Behold, thou art made whole: sin no
more, lest a worse thing come unto thee.
This miracle happened before the
Lamb of God went to the cross and became our Eternal Lamb sacrifice unto God
for all our sins. So Jesus as the True
Priest of God was telling this man, you are made whole, sin no more, or a worse
thing could come on you. The law of sin
and death was still active.
Jesus was
doing things under the old law, the right way.
But that was a heavy
warning. Jesus freed the man from
sin. Cleaned Him up. Made Him whole. But being under the law of sin and death
where the blood of a certain animal had to be shed every year by the High
Priest for the forgiveness of sin unto God, could not make the conscience free
and clean from sin. Sin was still
there, until the Lamb of God fulfilled His work.
So in Christ Jesus, All are
made Free and Clean from sin and death and the devil. He anchors and sustains us in all that He is... in Righteousness. Abundance of Grace and
of the Gift of Righteousness. So we continue our walk of faith in hope,
pressing on into His kingdom.
Hebrews 6:18-20 That by two
immutable things, in which it was impossible for God to lie, we might have a
strong consolation, who have fled for refuge to lay hold upon the hope set
before us: Which hope we have as an anchor of the soul, both sure and stedfast,
and which entereth into that within the veil; Whither the forerunner is for us
entered, even Jesus, made an high priest for ever after the order of
Melchisedec.
And that hope is Christ in us,
our Righteousness and Anchor. Colossians
1:26-27 Even the mystery which hath been hid from ages and from generations,
but now is made manifest to his saints: 27 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:…
Now, the Lamb of God and His
Blood has fulfilled His work and is seated with God upon the throne, and is the
Temple of the new Jerusalem, and is the Light for all…. Now is Grace working
and sustaining all that have received Jesus Christ as the Son of God, the Lamb
of God, and the Savior of the world.
Jesus Christ is become the King and Priest over all. He is Now ruling and reigning over all. Only His Righteousness is Worthy.
The blood, the water and the
Spirit agree in one, Jesus Christ. And
that blood was poured out upon the earth as the Atonement for sin in
the earth. The earth received the blood
and water of Jesus Christ and was cleansed of its curse. Eternal Atonement of God for all sin had
begun.
Now as every soul hears the
Gospel of Jesus Christ speaking forth from the Holy Spirit, faith appears.
Faith comes by hearing, and hearing by the word of God. Romans
10:16-17
Romans 10:16-17 But they have not
all obeyed the gospel. For Esaias saith, Lord, who hath believed our
report?
17 So then faith cometh by hearing, and hearing by the word of God.
And by faith we receive Jesus
Christ into our heart, our soul. Now
Grace works through His Righteousness unto our justification, sanctification,
and His Abundant Life.
So now by Faith we walk in the
Goodness of the Lord Jesus Christ. Peace
to all, who receive Him. Healing, Health and Cure.
Matthew 8:17 That it might
be fulfilled which was spoken by Esaias the prophet, saying, Himself took our
infirmities, and bare our sicknesses.
1
Peter 2:24 Who his own self bare our sins in his own body on the tree, that we,
being dead to sins, should live unto righteousness: by whose stripes ye were
healed.
Philemon 1:6 That the
communication of thy faith may become effectual by the acknowledging of every
good thing which is in you in Christ Jesus.
Now we, through His Holy Spirit,
put on His Robe of Righteousness and become one with the One who is King and
Priest over us all. His Government is
over and above all governments. His Kingdom is over and above all kingdoms.
We are growing up into the Son of
God, and are become sons of God. One
Body of Christ, many members. Learning
of Him and Worshipping the Lord God only. Yet, this is a process, having been born of His Spirit, now to grow up
into the Head who is Christ Jesus.
So, By the Obedience of One shall
many be made righteous.
We continue to
mature in Christ Jesus. Step by step of
faith and glory, we enter in to the Holy One and are swallowed up in His
Glory. No longer naked, but clothed in
Righteousness. It is His FREE Gift. He is abiding in our innerman and is ruling
and reigning, cleaning house, and filling us with His Glory.
In the abundance of grace and the
gift of righteousness through Jesus Christ, we can no longer fear sin, nor
death. The Lamb has taken it and the
fear of it away from us. A new law is
working and Grace is sustaining us through the righteousness of Jesus Christ,
while we are being washed in His word and renewed in our minds by His Holy
Spirit, and Jesus Christ is manifesting through us. The fruit of the Holy Spirit is
maturing. The Blood of the Lamb is
eternally atoning for us against sin and death and the devil. We are Redeemed
and Reconciled to God. The separation now is between us and the devil and his
works that is sin. We are free and free
indeed.
We now live unto God and are lead
of His Holy Spirit that is abiding in our innerman. We can come to the Lord God through Jesus
Christ and by Jesus Christ and acknowledge our wrong acts and thoughts, and
receive forgiveness and deliverance every time. He is interceding for us daily,
moment by moment if that is what it takes.
We are submitted to God, and living unto God only. He is our Father and a perfect one at that.
Now that we are Born of His
Spirit, we are coming into the full experience of our New Life in Christ Jesus;
and this is a process. By the working of
the Holy Spirit in our soul daily, what He has begun He will complete it in us.
HE is the new Spirit and is God our Father,
and the Spirit of the Son abiding in us forever. John 14:20-23. Romans 8:9-11 also confirms
this.
So as our minds are renewed and
we are regenerated in Christ Jesus, if we get carnal, then our heavenly Father
will prick us in our conscience. As long
as we yield to His unctions and quickenings to seek His way and mind to walk,
and put off the former conversations and actions of the carnal mind, and allow
the Holy Spirit to renew our minds, then the correction is easy and mostly
endurable.
BUT there is correction in
Grace. Hebrews 12 shows us that. But if correction is needed, it is only to
purge out the adversary that is causing the problem, so that your soul may shine
brighter in the glory and righteousness of Jesus Christ.
Once you have repented of your
sin, and have received Jesus Christ as your Savior, Sin is no more. A new law is working in our members. The law of the Spirit of life in Christ Jesus
makes us free from the law of sin and death.
Remission of sin occurs because of the Blood of Jesus Christ is abiding
in you now. Redemption and
Reconciliation is working in you. The
Lamb of God is within your soul declaring His Righteousness on your behalf… for
all eternity. Oh sweet Grace! So we may enter and fellowship with our
Father God, the Creator, in peace and joy and RIGHTEOUSNESS. Oh sweet Salvation of God! Thank you!
1 John 3:3-10 And every man that
hath this hope in him purifieth himself, even as he is pure.
4 Whosoever committeth sin
transgresseth also the law: for sin is the transgression of the law.
5 And ye know that he was
manifested to take away our sins; and in him is no sin.
6 Whosoever abideth in him
sinneth not: whosoever sinneth hath not seen him, neither known him.
7 Little children, let no man
deceive you: he that doeth righteousness is righteous, even as he is righteous.
8 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.
9 Whosoever is born of God doth
not commit sin; for his seed remaineth in him: and he cannot sin, because he is
born of God.
10 In this the children of God
are manifest, and the children of the devil: whosoever doeth not righteousness
is not of God, neither he that loveth not his brother.
SO By Grace through faith are we
saved and continue our walk in the Lord Jesus, learning of Him and growing up
in Him by the working of the Holy Spirit in us and us in Him. Being born again
(from above).
Sin is no more, Now Grace
abounds. Where sin once worked, now Grace
is working through the Righteousness of Jesus Christ. Read Romans 5:6-21 and be awakened unto His Righteousness
for you.
Romans 5:6-21 For when we were
yet without strength, in due time Christ died for the ungodly.
7 For scarcely for a righteous
man will one die: yet peradventure for a good man some would even dare to die.
8 But God commendeth his love toward us, in that, while we were yet
sinners, Christ died for us.
9 Much more then, being now justified by his blood, we shall be saved
from wrath through him.
10 For if, when we were enemies, we were reconciled to God by the death of his
Son, much more, being reconciled, we shall be saved by his life.
11 And not only so, but we also joy in God through our Lord
Jesus Christ, by whom we have now received the atonement.
12 Wherefore, as by one man sin
entered into the world, and death by sin; and so death passed upon all men, for
that all have sinned:
13(For until the law sin was in
the world: but sin is not imputed when there is no law.
14 Nevertheless death reigned
from Adam to Moses, even over them that had not sinned after the similitude of
Adam's transgression, who is the figure of him that was to come.
15 But not as the offence, so
also is the free gift. For if through the offence of one many be dead, much more the grace of God, and the gift
by grace, which is by one man, Jesus Christ, hath abounded unto many.
16 And not as it was by one that
sinned, so is the gift: for the judgment was by one to condemnation, but the free gift is of many offences
unto justification.
17 For if by one man's offence
death reigned by one; much more they
which receive abundance of grace and of the gift of righteousness shall reign
in life by one, Jesus Christ.)
18 Therefore as by the offence of
one judgment came upon all men to condemnation; even so by the righteousness of one the free gift came upon all men unto
justification of life.
19 For as by one man's
disobedience many were made sinners, so by
the obedience of one shall many be made righteous.
20 Moreover the law entered, that
the offence might abound. But where
sin abounded, grace did much more abound:
21 That as sin hath reigned unto death, even so might grace reign
through righteousness unto eternal life by Jesus Christ our Lord.
By the Righteousness of One,
Jesus Christ, and His obedience to the Father, we are Justified so that we may
have and abide in Life Eternal, who is Jesus Christ and God our Father,
forever.
Amen.
