The Law of God is Upon Us

What law is of more weight value than; men will reap what they sow?
...There is None

Come unto me all you whom are heavy laden and I will give you rest
For there will come a days when this call is
no longer available to men
it will be removed far from them
... though they live as though it will always be
... it will not.

There will come a day [Rev. 19]
when men will cower at the sight of
THE KING OF kings AND LORD OF lords
APPEARANCE IN THE HEAVENS
... that day many will have instant change of heart for they shall see God.
... that day 'it will be too late' for those that see Him & then believe.
... more blessed is he that has not seen and believes [John 20:29]
... Praise Jesus* for His Salvation offered to all men NOW
... while time is available to any and all ... Amen

How many times does a man shrug off the call
to come into the fold of Jesus* He alone is the Good Shepherd.

Those that mock an scoff will taste of His Glory with fearful,
dreadful terror in their hearts... an attribute not of Gods but of those
that appose Him. For God hath not given us the spirit of fear;
but of power, and of love, and of a sound mind....[ 2 Tim1:7]
fear is not an attribute of God; its not given to His own.

If any of the Lords walk in fear then it needs to be rebuked
for it is of the powers of darkness of this world that have overcome him.
Surrender fear unto God that His will be done..

Who can say we have not heard the Truth on Judgment Day?
Who can say God did not reach out to him multiple times
to bring Him into Salvation?
God judges all with equity He is fair an righteous
... none will say His righteous judgment is unfair.
Men will reap what they have sown... both in spirit and in flesh.

Psalm 98:9
Before the Lord; for he cometh to judge the earth:
with righteousness shall he judge the world,
and the people with equity.

The law of reaping what we sow [reciprocity]
is upon the just and unjust alike.
Through this law are all things measured and weighed.
According to the righteousness of Holy God.

What other law is their but this root?
All men will reap what they sow. Good or bad,
in God or out of God.

Under this law
unsaved we ... see death eternal, thirst, hunger, gnashing of teeth for the flames of no relief ... no rest or break from eternal torment. The flames of the pit of hell burn and consume yet men are not consumed nor will they perish in the flames of torment for they cannot die because this is death eternal.
...These are "The Living Dead"
...Dead but alive
...Alive but dead
...[This sounds like a Hollywood horror movie;
one you don't want to be cast in with the stars.
Did you know demons are referred to as Stars? Rev 12:4
And his tail drew the third part of the stars of heaven,
and did cast them to the earth;(see that? Demons; holy-Not)]

...For whosoever blaspheme the Holy Spirit will be judged
...at the Great White Throne of Judgment;
...their name absent from the book of life. [Rev 20:13]

Saved we... inherit the Kingdom of God and shall be made perfect having no more corruption of flesh through having been given new glorified bodies made of in corruption, that will not fade away fashioned as like unto Christ Glorified body.
[1 Cor.15:50, 1 Cor. 15:42, Phil. 3:21, Ephe.5:27, 1 Pet. 1:4]
The saved shall walk with God in His glorious Kingdom... having been judged in accord for their faithfulness since their betrothal to Him.
The Beama Throne Judgment is for the Bride. [1 Cor 3:15]

What law is more weight value than men will reap what they sow?
...there is None.
This is what ties it up and settles it.
God can not lie, His word is the Truth.
So we need regard our works of the flesh and spirit as;
what am I going to reap for this?

Thinking ahead may aid us in our decisions of choice today;
how is this going to come back to me and is it what I really desire?
If we think ahead we might do things differently.

Reap what we sow; this is how things will be measured
and judgments passed down.
Who can hide from these scales of balance?
Everything we do and say, everything we think and including
the fullness our hearts is weighed on these scales.

Men will reap what they sow is like the plaque of a court room entry
... its a sign of judgment pending or past.

To Not believe God is Omnipotent, Omnipresent, and Omniscient
all seeing all knowing every where at the same time
is to fool ourselves isn't it?
He said; I AM that I AM...
Leaving it up to us to accept and believe or not.


[Psalm 44:21] He knows the secrets of the heart.

[Hebrews 4:13] He sees all.

[Matthew 5:28] He knows your thoughts.

[Psalm 139] where can we hide from God?

[Isaiah 46:10–11] His will be done!

Truly this is what divides men; God has revealed Himself
in creation of all things. Men want more; they want appearances
with speeches and displays of miracles.
They have them but not in the manner in which they look.
The sight is blinded by the heart, the ears can not hear
and the feet walk into darkness calling it light.

Those that find Him, know Him and see His appearance in creation,
in His word coming to life in their lives and in the lives of others,
in the times of the day they see His word come to life;
the appearance of God.
They see His miracles in many things, some miracles of life
and life renewed, in being Born Again into the Kingdom of God,
in being spared some fatal tragedy...
Gods miracles are endless, who could name them all for the sake
of the blind and deaf that do not see, hear
or have desire to understand?

Getting back to men reap what they sow;
create a list of good works and bad works
...that you yourself have done in the Lord.
Now as you look back on those works of yours
that you have listed; what was your reward?
What did you reap? and did it reach out
touching the lives of others?

Our acts, works, words are mirrored reflecting what we did.
Consider in spirit and in flesh and see; it its true in your life?

Most often sadly or joyfully the lives of others is touched by,
affected by, effected by, inflicted by or infected by what we have
sown and or reaped. Therefore our lives can be a blessing to others
or bring grief.

We may imagine justice is due upon the day of judgment only.
Yet truly we are in it now & then to come.

The just and unjust alike walk in this unseen law.
It may appear for a time we have escaped the reaper
but thats just time and time does pass rendering forth.

Surely we ought to repent and pray we do not get what we
deserve and strive to change our future through earnest repenting.

Its not always possible to dig up the;
injustice, unrighteousness, wrong doings,
unholiness, wrongs against others and or ourselves
that we have planted.
Its not always possible to dig up what
we have planted out of Gods will and against Him
...but we can pray it miraculously does not grow to fruition,
...we can pray the corruption we sowed does not grow to harvest.

We touch a flame ...we say ouch its hot, it burns.
From the obvious to deeper spiritual things.

- Whats the difference in Gods chastening His own
and the unjust reaping what they have sown?
[I thought God didn't chasten everyone but only his own?]

To see chastening of God:
is not unlike any good father on earth rearing up his children.
Consider a good father on earth rears up his child
wanting his child to have the best of everything possible.
That all the child needs are met, basic things such as clothing,
shelter, nutritious food, good education, secure environment,
comforts and the freedom of the child to explore its world that
it increase in knowledge of and understanding of.
That it grow in good guidance and protection & healthy balance
of all things good to the very best of the earthly fathers ability.

When the child gets out of line,
out of the will of his father, his father knows this business
is going to serve to harm the child. The father will intervene;
reprimand, punish, scold, correct, redirect, restrict, the child
.. take away privileges from the child to teach the child.
The father means what he says in constructive love and encouragement
the child does grow in a healthy balance to be all it can be.
This being the picture of an earthly father with the best of intentions
of his hearts loving desire for his own child.

...then now we might see our Heavenly Father has the best intentions
for HIS own, as He rears His up.
Chastening to guide into, keep from or out of
... is part of Gods child rearing.

So if we wonder what Gods Chastening is?
Just look a good earthly father with his child and see.
*The difference is God is rearing up Holy righteous children,
not what men call good. Amen

Chastening of Gods children is not the chastening of the entire world
... the entire world is not with Him, of Him.
He does not chasten the wicked.
So then do we see how God chastens His own and that it differs from
a man will reap what he sows?

There is absolute division here;
- Gods Chastening if of His Children [its child rearing].
- Reap what we so; is for everyone under the sun [its a payment due]

Do all men just or unjust reap what they have sown.
You be the judge of that?
Let each man look at his own life in the past
and see if he did reap what had sown.

- All men reap what they sow
[we should repent and pray we don't get what we deserve].

-It rains on the just and the unjust alike;
all men will taste of rain and drought,
of plenty and lack.
No mans lack is in the same manner is it?
Who can truly know a mans lack but God?
Good times and hardship come to each man in various ways.
No man can know another mans joy, only God can know the
fullness of a mans heart,likewise no man can know the depth
of another mans grief but God.

We can rejoice with another,
we can be in sorrow with another [empathize with];
but we can not feel the fullness and depth of their heart.
Only God can know all and feel what we feel.

Gal 6:2 Bear ye one anothers burdens,
and so fulfil the law of Christ.
3 For if a man think himself to be something,
when he is nothing, he deceiveth himself.

7 Be not deceived; God is not mocked:
for whatsoever a man soweth,that shall he also reap.
8 For he that soweth to his flesh
shall of the flesh reap corruption;
but he that soweth to the Spirit
shall of the Spirit reap life everlasting.
9 And let us not be weary in well doing:
for in due season we shall reap, if we faint not.
10 As we have therefore opportunity,
let us do good unto all men, especially unto them
who are of the household of faith.

Mat 7:12 Therefore all things whatsoever ye would that men should do to you,
do ye even so to them: for this is the law and the prophets.

Mat 7:2 For with what judgment ye judge, ye shall be judged:
and with what measure ye mete, it shall be measured to you again.

For what we do to others will come back to us
THIS IS NOW STUFF; not just upon our Judgment before the Lord.
Not just upon walking into our eternal appointment;
having left this body behind.

Men have the tendency to put everything off
as if there is time, plenty of time.
Not now but another day, some day down the road.
How many imagine when they wake up today
... this is it... my last day.. today my body is going to die
and I will enter into my eternal appointment?

Most of us wake and wonder what we are going to do today
and what is going to happen today
but not what time today is death of my body?

We never know do we?
Time is promised to no man.
So what have you sown into your eternity?

Do we see from the day we are born we are given
eternal life; for we shall never die.
This is the one and only assembly line stamp
we ALL get the same of upon our birth into this world
and the stamp reads; "ETERNAL LIFE"

That means we cant die.
No where to run from, no where to hide or get out of.
... We all have to do this thing called eternal life.
[we can not die, we can never vanish or cease to exist.
We will always exist. We will always be; SOMEWHERE ETERNALLY]

Being Born Again in Jesus Saving Grace
... we are given eternal life of; a spiritual difference
of a different eternal residential location for our spirit
our soul [us, we, you, I]
... a spiritual trading of who our father is
... For if God is not our Father
... then the devil is.

Once Born we never die, our body does
... but we have an appointment upon death
... where we spend our eternal life is hinged upon;
... we reap what we sow

Want to change the outcome of your eternity?
Want seeds you planted to die in the soil?
Want to start fresh on new ground planting good seeds?
Invite Jesus into your heart today as your Savior.

Jesus* alone can set your soul, heart & mind free.
Saved He will dig you up and plant you in His field.
How awesome is that..Praise Jesus*
Salvation washes us clean white as snow, setting us free.
Does it wash away all of the offenses we did to others?
Realize some things we have committed in our past
we have to live with.
... but we can live with them in different light
... and with God all things are possible.

From this place of being Born Again into the Family of God
... you will take all things to God in prayer
....see what He can undo that you have done
... according to His good will and pleasure and purpose for & in your life
... as well as perhaps the lives of others you were prior offensive to?
From Salvation you will then take one day at a time growing in Jesus*
He alone makes all things NEW!...Amen

Who can know what God will do in your personal walk in Him?
My advice is don't draw unjust dividing lines
as to what God can do and what He can not.

We read Jesus knows a heart [Psalm 44:21]
God is Omnipotent, Omnipresent, and Omniscient
You can believe He will hear your earnest hearts desire
as you pray aloud to Him from no matter where you are.

For where can you be that He is not there with you?
Wont you call on Jesus today?

Your eternal appointment might be hours away
and unsaved we would call that too late.
How many times in would be hell;
might you then "recall" Jesus reaching out to you
to be Saved?
He judges with equity and none will say unfair.

You decide
... I pray you make the most vital, most valuable,
most rewarding, most joyous blessed decision of your life today.
In Jesus* name I pray... Amen



Rom 10:10 For with the heart man believeth unto righteousness;
and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation.

TIME WITHOUT PRESSURE

Want to be motivated by your heart and not the pressure of time?

Do you know that time is a pressure of its own upon you
and that its greater than the pressure of gravity upon you?

What is time?

Man looks at the face of his watch daily.
He looks at the face of a clock multiple times per day
and though he sees and calculates he sees it not.

Who is the giver of time?
Of a mans seconds to minutes to hours to days.
Months on the Calendar stream by and New Holidays are Celebrated,
Birthdays and New Years pass by with no regard for the giver of time.

A man is alloted time to watch the old become new
and the new become old again.
To watch the seeds he planted grow to harvest
to witness the marriage and reproduction of
his children rendering him grand children and
great grandchildren and even up to
even great, great, great, great children.

Time is something that:
-perplexes a man
-crushes him
-ensnares
-enslaves
-holds him captive

It can be a heavy weight a burden of pressure unseen upon him
It brings many things to do inside of it.
it makes you look at it
and recall its slipping away.

Or it offers relief for your ahead of what you imagine you pressure.
Even inside relief is pressure of how long relief?
Its a pressure relief.... but that will not last for another hour
will start the pressure of time all over again like the oceans waves
slamming upon the sea shore so will man be crushed by the minutes
and hours of time...

How is it man can look at the face of his watch at the clock
before him and not see the true giver of it.
Man has enslaved himself in a pressure chamber
of a false god of this world.
The time god.

The false time god has been given homage over
the one true Living God
and so be it the weight of time will perplex and crush
a man through his god of choice.

Such grief is unnecessary ... if only man would look
into the face of time and see
the giver of it... The True Living God

What is breath without time and time without breath?
Who gives both in one?
You can not have one without the other.

How foolish man can be not to give regard to the Giver
of time and life.
For nothing is lest it be due God, From God, by God
Even time that enslaves men is given by God.

God gives time, men enslave themselves
Man needlessly enslaves himself inside time.

How can this be said? For life is so busy with appointments,
schedules to keep, things to do, people to see ... life gets
busy and often overwhelming with all to do in a day
and what then if a nights sleep was taken from and still time
presses onward with the same busy schedule of a heavy
list of things to do?

How can there be any relief from this pressure,
what does time have to do with a heavy work load
of our burdens to bear, isn't that what makes time
a pressure chamber what we do inside of it,
isn't the man of leisure not pressured in his time
while the busy working man is stressed inside his time?
How can we say time alone is a culprit when a mans burdens
can be great heavy or light to seemingly none?

Considering a man of leisure and a man
like a busy ant working daily.

Who can know what time brings a man but God.
Do we imagine by outward appearance the man of leisure
is not pressured by time?
Just like the man working hard labor through it?

They are both pressured... the man of leisure is pressured
in his mind heavy as the laboring man is.

Lets break it down into you picking out the Godly from
the ungodly man as you read to decipher according to your
wisdom in understanding.

One is pressured for there is never enough time
to enjoy all he the worldly pleasures he must
cram into a day filling it full of worldly goodness
... soaking up all he can requires time.
How much can he fit into his day?
He spends his time jumping into pools of worldly favor
and drawing unto himself treasures that please him.

The working man laboring daily pressured by and perplexed
by much strives to see a break from a time to find relief
and rest if he can in it ... rest for some is mental,
rest for some is physical and rest for some is both.
Some find rest in finding time for pleasure,
for some pleasure is sleep.... all varies in their quest for
relief in time away from ... still there is pressure
in even this; for man will keep looking at his clock.
As time ebbs away and its back to greater pressure.

Its a cycle for both in different arenas of life.
Time indeed brings pressure of some sort to all men
...none are exempt, lest God in Heaven remove it from them.

How can God in heaven do that?
For those that know Him not how can He?
That's a good question with an obvious answer..
He can not nor will not lest He on His own accord ordain it
... but lets look at that as Gods business alone and for
the most part we live by the law, all of us the saved and
the unsaved the just and the unjust... we live by the law of God.
His word is unchanging He is the giver of life and of time
and all things and nothing exists with out Him..

[The hardened heart of the lost see Him not nor do they desire for they
have freedom in not seeing the Truth... false freedom which is short lived...
temporary at best and then the Truth comes]

The True giver of all things is the giver of time
not some false god ... the false god time
is what pressures men... they look at the clock
and see a false god called time.

They structure their lives around the false god time
and he will pressure them, he will enslave them,
he will crush them inside his time frame.
He will taunt and tease them with a break of relief
and then slam them again with like the wave of the ocean
crush them again.. its a cycle round
the false time gods clock.

How do those that seek safe harbor and freedom from
this abuse find relief if any?

SURRENDER TIME TO THE TRUE GIVER OF IT
...The True Living God has given every man time.

Breathe... that breath in time was given you by Jesus*
whom created all things and nothing was created without Him

You have to know the word of God to know that
...we then study to show ourselves approved
unto the Lord. Amen

Breath and time are equal for you can not have one
with out the other.
What is time with out breath?
What is breath without time?

Seeing God in time is to see God in your very breath.
When you look at the face of time in any watch or clock
see God.
Breathe and see God who has given both to you.

WANT THE PRESSURE OFF?
Want to be free without a heavy weight of
pressure unseen resting upon your head
crushing your body beneath it?

SURRENDER TIME BACK TO THE GIVER OF IT.
You can Not do that if you don't know the Truth.
If your unsaved lest God in His own will has given you relief of
then see by the law of God it is not the standard its not the way.

What I'm saying here is all of us must see God as He alone
is the creator, He alone will do what so ever He please...
If you imagine there is something He can not do or will not do
according to His will even though it is not written in His Word;
then you do not know the fullness of God, you in your mind have enslaved
the all powerful Holy God to your small minds freedom of.
Hence you have shortened the All of;"what", "can" and "is".
Of what He can do.
Having said that lets move along.

How do we BE SET FREE OF TIMES PRESSURE?
[Here I'm speaking to the Saved to those
that call Jesus* their Savior]
No matter what your state:
no matter if your working hard
or your years of working hard are far behind you...
No matter what your state is as you live in Gods time
give it back to Him.

Pray this prayer aloud in your earnest heart and you will
be lifted immediately from the pressure of time and it will
not come back to you lest the devil seeks to fool you
and you can know God did not send him but he taunts you.
You being saved then have all authority over him and cast
him out away.. that you reside in the gift of pardon of pressure
of time that crushes your body as an unseen weight.

Father in Jesus* name I pray unto you, I see you and know you are
the giver of all things of all life and without you was nothing
created. I know you are alone the keeper of time of which I exist
inside of... my breath is in your time, my all is in your time.
Father in Jesus* name I surrender the time you have given me
back to you... I have no business harboring time or living under
its heavy weight, I give it back to you Lord that I am free of its
heavy burdensome weight that I will no longer be pressured in it,
but sail through it on a daily basis... knowing its not my time but
your time ... I Praise you Father in Jesus* name for this wonderful
freedom of burden that I too long carried over me... Praise you Jesus*
for setting me free. Amen and amen..

Praise to Jesus* you are set free from times heavy weight.
Now you will do all things in breath of time of God and he alone.
He will not allow the pressure of the false time god
to afflict you any longer.. Its done
its gone far from you never to return.

Now breathe in God and His time.
Breathe again God and His time
Again breathe God and his time.

In the name of the Father, the Son and Holy Spirit you breathe
and not by any other.
Look at the face of the clock and see God in time.

What power of heaven and earth is greater than His?
The answer; NONE
None is greater than the GREAT I AM.
Amen.
Praise Jesus* for all the good things He has done.
He is the root of all things good.
Let us ever more so grow in Jesus*

Without the pressure of time; your heart is flat lined
to the pressure of time... but now it beats in accord within
Gods time; rejoice!

BUT WE ARE ACCUSTOMED TO BEING MOTIVATED BY THE PRESSURE OF TIME
NOW HOW DO WE FUNCTION WITH OUR PRESSURE OF TIME MISSING FROM US?

Trust God alone to motivate and move you,
trust Him alone to urge you into and move you out of.
He is with you all the day long,
you rise up because of Him and lay down because of Him.
Your work and rest are in Him and through Him.
He will push pull your heart,
He will call upon you and convict you.
He alone motivate you when you surrender all to Him.
He takes the lead and that is the unseen rest upon
which we move in, work in, labor in.
He is how we labor... in rest.

In this place of rest we can sail troubled violent seas and struggle
to keep our vessel from sinking under.... and even then
In your heart is a calm sea as smooth as glass.
This is not the work of any man,
but the work of God ... and not just any god.
But the true living God.

There is much freedom in the Body of Christ
though Gods children know not of the freedoms
they are privy to.
Its a process of time.... and then the knowledge of
increase is released upon the Body of Christ that they
grow to be all they can be in Him. That they rejoice in
the blessings of their Heavenly Father who desires to bless
His children with many good things easing their
burdens in life that He be the lone carrier of all.
How richly blessed are we!

ALL PRAISE THE FATHER, SON AND HOLY SPIRIT
TO THE THREE IN ONE GOD
ALL PRAISE TO THE ROOT OF OUR ETERNAL LIFE

TO JESUS THE SAVIOR OF THOSE: WHOSOEVER WILL COME may freely come unto Him
and partake of all His goodness... that He willingly longing desires to shower upon His own. Salvation is free to you... just ask of an earnest heart and He will enter in.

Blessings in Jesus* to you

THE SINS OF OMISSION AND COMMISSION

STOP SINNING:Who Can Stop sinning if they say they have no sin?


Self-righteousness
or
Gods righteousness?


We are all as an unclean thing,
and all our righteousnesses are as filthy rags; [Isa 64:6].

Saved; Do we have No sins of which to repent of?
We need to be careful lest pride sets in.
Its far better to be humble than to have pride grow.

The Lords taught us to pray;[Mat 6:]
12 And forgive us our debts, as we forgive our debtors.
14 For if ye forgive men their trespasses,
your heavenly Father will also forgive you:
15 But if ye forgive not men their trespasses,
neither will your Father forgive your trespasses.

Eph 4:30 And grieve not the holy Spirit of God,
whereby ye are sealed unto the day of redemption.
If you sin after your saved you will Grieve the Holy Spirit.

Eph 4:30, Mat 6} reveal the potential of ones ability to sin after
having been saved.
Therefore be on guard [1 Peter 5:8] .

Got Guilt of unconfessed sins?

"Therefore, to one who knows the right thing to do and does not do it,
to him it is sin." - James 4:17

Judge ourselves:1 Cor11:31
For if we would judge ourselves, we should not be judged.
[Saved; we need to stay in check with God to be certain
no wicked way is growing in our hearts.

Sin is not just something we do, but sometimes it
is something that we ought to have done.
Striving to be Holy as God is Holy is through a closer walk with Jesus.
Only through our closeness to Him do we escape our flesh.
Living in the flesh we must stay on guard,
submitting our hearts and minds to Jesus.

Mat 5:28 But I say unto you, That whosoever looketh
on a woman to lust after her hath committed adultery with her
already in his heart.

Proverbs 6 16 These six things doth the Lord hate:
yea, seven are an abomination unto him:
17 A proud look, a lying tongue, and hands that shed innocent blood,
18 An heart that deviseth wicked imaginations, feet that be swift in running to mischief,
19 A false witness that speaketh lies, and he that soweth discord among brethren.

We have escaped these things.
We are doing what Jesus* would have us do each day.
We are keeping our thoughts in check lest they take lead of our flesh.

We love our neighbor; we have no hate
[but for satan and powers of darkness of this world]
[Mark 12:31]

We are growing; we are tapping into more of the True Living Water.
We are not then susceptible to failure in our faith,
bringing forth gain as appose to loss in Christ Jesus.
satans is unhappy for we do not sit idly,
we do not lack growth in Jesus*

We have have risen up again to a newer level;
our strives in Jesus are greater than before.
We are walking in higher levels of increased fullness of God;
our lives reflect Jesus*
We are bringing greater Praise, Honor and Glory to Jesus*
that He be Glorified through us.

STOP: What if this not all true?
What if their is some lack or some sin we ought take to God in prayer?

___________

What makes a man to be called Holy in the sight of God?
Upon Salvation the Holiness of God;
the Holy Spirit of God enters into your vessel.
Being born Again of the Holy Spirit enters in a newness of life
that you have never known hence all things have changed
Your old man dead your new man in God lives. Praise Jesus*

II Cor. 5:21  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...{IMPUTED THROUGH SALVATION.

Righteousness of God - is the opposite of - our self-righteousness.
Gods righteousness is Holy.
The Holy Spirit is the Third member of the Holy Trinity;
as part of the Godhead, the Holy Spirit is equal with God the Father
and with God the Son.

So then we must see the Holy Spirit is the Righteousness of God,
is the Holiness of God.
Upon Soul Salvation; The Holy Spirit enters into you.
Hence God calls you; be Holy, for He who is in you is Holy.

1 Cor 3:17If any man defile the temple of God, him shall God destroy;
for the temple of God is holy, which temple ye are.
You are the Holy temple; Gods Holy Spirit dwelling in you.
What does that make you?

God calls you to be Holy for He within is Holy.
We are to be Holy.

Righteousness and Holiness are One.
Saved you are righteous - Saved you are Holy.

STOP; and realize as we grow in our Salvation... we will
greatly increase in the True Living God.
tapping into more of Him and less of us.. its a process.

“Therefore you are to be perfect, as your heavenly Father is perfect.”
[Mat 5:48]

Growing in our Salvation; working it out... keeping Gods will
be done in our lives. We grow to aspire to be more in Jesus*
bringing greater Glory Honor and Praise to God.

An analogy of Our New Life; the ONION and the LADDER
Saved our new man in Jesus aspires to reach for the more of God
Most babes in Christ see God as distant ... so far away we need
a heavenly ladder to climb.
Hold onto your ladder.

First lets take a prospective look at our New Life
through view of an onion.
Lets say we are onions.
Saved the Holy Spirit enters the very core of us...
the more closely we tune inward to the Holy Spirit within us,
the closer our walk with God.
The layers of the onion need to be peeled away through
the more we trust God in all things,
the more we let go of ourselves, we grow in grace.
We are in constant shedding of our outer most layers,
each layer removed represents us in some facet of our will,
our failures, our stubbornness, we foremost are in the way and learning,
growing as we remove outward layers.
We need to peel ourselves away to reach the core.
We are constantly striving to reach the closer walk in Jesus*
We are striving to peel all the outer layers and enter the core;
[nearer to] the Heart of God. Amen.

We know its a process, it takes time
- do we see then we are the keepers [with God]of this growth time?
{We have the ability to speed up or delay our peeling away.

Our greatest awareness then is the Kingdom of God is not so very distant is it?
All we need to do is loose ourselves and enter in.
Having entered into this [core] New Place in your growth in Jesus*
you know that ladder... bring it in here...
For its from this very core we will seek to climb upward
to the greater of the Kingdom of Heaven for behold
"you have sought FIRST the Kingdom of Heaven WITHIN you"
now a new door is before us..we are urged to Knock and enter in..

Can we see the depth and height of God in our walk in Him?
He has many mysteries to reveal to you... many things to share with you,
they are for you in your personal walk in Him... that through YOU,
your life, you will greatly edify the body of Christ .. Amen
Let us be encouraged to Grow in Jesus*

1 Cor 16:9. ...a great door for effective work has opened to me.
Working out and growing in your salvation God calls us then to greater effective works in Him.
Effective because He is in control
and we are not in the way [of His will be done] but delight in it. Amen

Saved we are not assembly line stamped,
for we are as DIVERSE in Spirit as we are in HEART and MIND.
Our righteousness will shine on different levels in our walk with the Lord;
Daniel 12:3 And they that be wise shall shine as the brightness of the firmament;
and they that turn many to righteousness as the stars for ever and ever.
*Babes in Christ can bring many into the fold; simply for their love of God
and the light that burns brightly within them for all to see.
*Babes in Christ can do much more than they may imagine they can;
for in Jesus* all things are possible.. Amen

Concluding Saved you are righteous, Saved you are Holy.
Not because of anything you have done to earn it but because
the Holy Spirit of God is in you... Glory to Jesus*

1 John 4:4 Ye are of God, little children, and have overcome them:
because greater is he that is in you, than he that is in the world.

Luke 17:21 Neither shall they say, Lo here! or, lo there! for, behold,
the kingdom of God is within you. {This is two-fold;
the Holy Spirit and eternal life.
Saved you have freely been given the gift of eternal life with Jesus*
you don't have to loose your body to walk in it now, for you are. Amen

John 17:3 And this is life eternal,
that they might know thee the only true God,
and Jesus Christ, whom thou hast sent.

Mark 10:15 Verily I say unto you,
Whosoever shall not receive the kingdom of God as a little child,
he shall not enter therein.

Saved :the Kingdom of God is within you.
Rev19:8 And to her was granted that she should be arrayed in fine linen,
clean and white: for the fine linen is the ..RIGHTEOUSNESS of saints.

Luke 11:13 If ye then, being evil, know how to give good gifts unto your children:
how much more shall your heavenly Father give the HOLY SPIRIT to them that ask him?

Acts 2:4 And they were all filled with the Holy Ghost,
and began to speak with other tongues, as the Spirit gave them utterance.

Eph 1:4 According as he hath chosen us in him before the foundation
of the world, that we should be Holy and Without Blame before him in love:

THE "HOLY" SPIRIT
Dwelling in the saved is what renders a man Holy unto God; righteous unto God. Amen

-For our righteousness is counted as filthy rags unto the Lord,
we alone have no means to be counted Holy as God is Holy.

Our works after salvation count and only after Salvation...
lest any man should boast his good works saved his own soul.

Our righteousnesses or unrighteousnesses - OUR WORKS good or bad
After salvation are both counted and so by them will be JUDGED.

STOP: Saved; we will be judged via our works good or bad.
This shows us we can have bad works; this can be sin
of not growing to fulfill our called walk in the Lord;
sluggish, selfish, rebels in our walk if you will.
Not repenting of ones sins, shortcomings or trespasses.
SINs OF OMISSION AND COMMISSION against God.

"Be Holy as God is Holy".... this is a call to the unsaved to get saved.
For who can be Holy unless they are saved.
No one is Holy without first obtaining the Holy Spirit
through Jesus* the door.

"Be Holy as God is Holy".... this is a call to the saved to a Closer Walk
with Jesus*
For the saved could & can loose their way wandering into unrighteousness
Saved we can grieve the Holy Spirit.

"Be Holy as God is Holy"... this is a call to the saved to do what is good
and acceptable in the eyes of the Lord; Good Works.
For increased spiritual growth in the Lord
Growing in the Holy Spirit.

"Be Holy as God is Holy"... this is a call keep the commandments of the Lord
purging ourselves sanctifying ourselves.
For wisdom to see what might be growing in our hearts.
That we come to Jesus in prayer that He keep us free and clean from pending
growth of wickedness.

"Be Holy as God is Holy"... this is a call to keep our bodies hearts and minds
in tight regard of Gods will for our lives.
For we can slip away according to the lust of the flesh coveting the false value
of the world hence loosing our way from His will be done.

"Be Holy as God is Holy"... this is a call to grow in your salvation seeking the greater gifts of the Holy Spirit
For we are building a house together with the Lord; we are to fill it with the finery of God lest wood, hay and stubble enter in.

This can go on and on... Do we hear Him calling us ever into more of Him.
"Be Holy as God is Holy"... one day the call will stop and it will be
too late. It will be too late for the unsaved to come into salvation,
it will be too late for we in the Body of Christ to be more in Jesus*
that we do not appear before Him on Judgment Day Ashamed of our walk in Him.

The righteousness of the Saints is not only Gods work in us
but our freewill surrendered to God. That's what renders a closer walk
with Him and in right accord.

FREEWILL - we still have that, its diminished of self- righteousness over time
in our closer walk with Jesus.
No truly Saved individual desires to fall into sin with their freewill
but instead to Please God. But We Can Fall into, we can backslide and grieve
the Holy Spirit. Often times we backslide for our time clock and our will be done selfishly take the lead. We decided to no longer wait on God or we refused
to take NO for an answer... [stubbornness]
Its a learning experience all the way.
Truly we discover its better to wait on God;
His plan and His time is always perfect.

We must desire to peel away the layers of ourselves, rendering less and
less of us to more... and more of Him until we are ONE with God; when we have surrendered ALL.
[Are we in the way? Are we taking the lead? Are we in the foreground?]

“And for their sakes I sanctify Myself, that they themselves also may be
sanctified in truth.” [John 17:19]

Lax in our walk with God we can fall to our lust of the flesh,
to the willful desire of the flesh so then Not Gods will be done
but instead OUR will be done.
Again this can lead us into SIN OF OMISSION AND COMMISSION
for things we didn't do in Him and should have,
and for the sins we did against Him.

Walking, Growing ever closer, Trusting Gods will be done,
Seeking Gods will be done through us we will produce righteous fruit,
as a good tree in good abundance. Bringing Great Honor and joy
to the Lord for our faithfulness after our salvation in Him. Amen
Thats truly what our Salvation is about; Gods will for our lives
is that He be Glorified through us.
We should be sinking our roots down deeper and deeper into
His rich pure mineral soil soaking up the True Living Water
that we are a tree that not only bears much good fruit but one that
many birds will come to rest upon our branches and be fed.. Amen

We are to sanctify to purge ourselves of all unrighteousness before God
that we are ever growing forward in our faith walk in Jesus.

“Therefore, having these promises, beloved, let us cleanse ourselves from all defilement of flesh and spirit, perfecting holiness in the fear of God.”
[2Cor 7:1]

If we say we have no sin to repent of we will Not purge ourselves
hence we will grow weak, diseased if you will, setting ourselves up
for loss and failure in Jesus. This can be an ugly area for a Christian
for this is where pride can set in. Pride puffs itself up, it swells..
can we see our onion layers puffed, swollen thick with pride?
This sadly serves to render the Kingdom of God more distant from us.

Leviticus 11 44 For I am the Lord your God: ye shall therefore sanctify yourselves,
and ye shall be holy; for I am holy: neither shall ye defile yourselves
with any manner of creeping thing that creepeth upon the earth.

Paul was a Holy man;
yet he called himself the chief sinner.{We hear no pride in his statement.
This was recorded in the Word of God that we might see humility and embrace
it in our faith walk. Amen

-Holy men spake and Paul was the chief sinner.
Saved we ought not think to much of ourselves lest the good
should fall away. Saved we should consider we are rich in Christ Jesus*
filled with His Holy Spirit we do not lack but have all we need
[within our core] to grow in our salvation.. His richness was freely given
to us and is likewise free to all men that seek Jesus*. Amen

We need check ourselves lest something be growing within our hearts
that is unpleasing to God.
Stumbling, pride speaks the loudest through men that claim
they have no sin of which to repent of.

We need ask ourselves: Who is equal to God? Who has arrived?
Who is perfect in every way in the Lord and has no more need of
Spiritual Growth or need of forgiveness of Him?
For even when we reach the core of our onion, thats a whole new rheum of our spiritual walk ..its new all over again... and from the core then
we must grow in this new found place of newer greater understanding in Jesus,
in God in Three Persons? God is so great, in His infinite fullness who can
claim they have no more need of growth in Him?

"Be Holy as God is Holy" recognize; Saved we are in need of a Shepherd.
We need to humble ourselves before Jesus* Bring our hearts fullness
unto Him that He may inspect our hearts value or worthlessness in Him.
Recall the wood, hay and stubble that must be burned from our list of works
on Judgment Day? [1 Cor 3: 12 -15] We do not want that in our works after salvation, it will serve to render shame upon us as we appear before the Lord,
suffering us loss of rewards.

The worthlessness of Pride: Pride can consume a man
causing him imagine he has no sin.[unsaved or saved]

Pride blinds a man and it grows like a cancer;
that others can blatantly see it, while the beholder of it can not.
Pride is not attractive but arrogant, it is not helpful to others
but serves to hinder others in their spiritual journey in Jesus.
Walking in pride we can not grow in grace,
for we are not walking in "Gods will be done".
Walking in pride we have our basic first steps in Christ removed
far from us; # "walking # in # humility"
Pride never sins; it has no sin, hence no need to confess to Jesus
and Pride is proud of that.
Prideful men deceive the babes in Christ
to imagine they can never aspire to such Holy Perfection
... when the truth is; they should not aspire to fall as pride has.

Recognizing we are sinners saved by grace capable of failure
in our walk in the Lord...is pertinent in our walk of faith.
It keeps us in a healthy state of being in the Body of Christ
That not only the Body be edified but that we are able to more aptly
reach out to others in need of Soul Salvation.
Pride of not seeing ones SIN OF OMISSION AND COMMISSION can render
mayhem in the Body. Bringing forth confusion and strife
amongst the brethren. We should strive to humble ourselves
before the Lord daily. Bringing Him all,
let us not leave any stone unturned that can fester
and poison ourselves as well as others. Pride kills would be life,
it kills potential growth, it kills the unsaved unto eternal damnation.
Shouldn't we the saved be more desiring in our earnest hearts
not to carry something so deadly and so hated by Holy God?
Let us each search our hearts before the Lord;
lest we be found wanting. Amen

"For he who does wrong will receive the consequences of the
wrong which he has done, and that without partiality." - Col 3:25

We should all consider having obtained Salvation;
we need to remain humbly thankful, seeking forgiveness
of our sins of OMISSION and COMMISSION
"Be Holy as God is Holy"... Its the humble heart
that will admit & confess, that will bring forth
what they have done against Gods will,
its humility that seeks a heart check.

STOP: Do we allow ourselves to imagine we have no duty
to confess our sins to God? [humility verses pride]
We are to work out our Salvation with fear and trembling. [Phil 2:12]
Our "Fear" of God - is to have reverence, deep respect, great regard
and to be in Awe of Him. [need a heart check?]

We need to desire Gods purging from what is or might be;
growing inside. When a humble heart keeps coming back to God
in this manner, it will touch the heart of God.
And that is what we should aspire to
.... to be a man after Gods own heart.
David was a man after Gods own Heart.
How many giants can we slay harboring pride?

A man's pride shall bring him low: but honour shall uphold the humble in spirit.[Prov:29:23]

God loves a humble heart.
WHY? because it keeps coming back in humble repentance,
it seeks the more of God, that His will be done that God be Glorified
It cries search me oh Lord to see if there be any wicked way in me.
If we judge ourselves we will not be judged;
You and I need to humble to do that. Amen

1 john 1:8 If we say that we have no sin, we deceive ourselves,
and the truth is not in us.

...and the truth is not in us.
Do we realize only the truly saved have the Truth in them?
For the Truth is the Word and the Word is God..
Saved you are filled with the Third Person of the God Head.
THE HOLY SPIRIT IS THE TRUTH IN YOU.

This may be a wake up call to those having a mental assent,
those that claim they are saved... live it by the book.
Void of the Holy Spirit of God the Truth is not in them..
You who truly want Salvation must surrender your heart to Jesus
not your mind... that's only knowledge of
and knowledge doesn't save anybody..

1 John 2:4 He that saith, I know him, and keepeth not his commandments,
is a liar, and the truth is not in him.

Man looks at the outward appearance but God looks at the Heart.
He alone knows the grieving heart of His child.
His Children may fall back but they WILL COME BACK TO HIM in grieving for
their offenses against their Heavenly Father. Grieving for having grieved
the Holy Spirit. Surely a bookworms mental ascent to salvation
can not understand this, for they do not know the Truth.
The Truth having never been in them.

STOP: Please do realize.. We the Saved and privy to Call Jesus*
our Savior were once unsaved and walked where you now the unsaved walk
... Realize God is no respecter of persons All are welcome to come to Him
seeking Soul Salvation through the shed blood of Jesus*.
Seek and you Shall Find, Knock and the Door Shall Be Opened Unto YOU.
Jesus has a love great enough to encompass every heart that is earnestly
calling Him...No earnest heart will be turned away.
He is the A and the Z the beginning and the end.
The one who was from the beginning and will be ever more.
Wont you come Home Today? Just knock.

To be Holy as God is Holy; begins in humbling ourselves not to forget
Jesus* is the Savior of the world.
We are not little gods ...[John 10:34,35,John 10:34]
Without delving into scripture at a glance we can see
god is the spelling for a pagan god a false god.
Jesus* said many will come in my name. [Mat 24:5]

What is it that we are NOT DOING of HIS WILL BE DONE through us?
It's sin to not do what we ought.
Just as its sin to do we should not.
We are to seek the greater gifts of the Holy Spirit,
we need to be growing in Jesus* to do that. Amen

See the SIN OF OMISSION AND COMMISSION?
What did you do?
What did you not do?

Humble in heart; you will bring your heart to Jesus*
that He inspect you for any wicked way in you.
From this path in Him you will grow in Jesus*
Humility renders the tenderness of God towards us.
Touching His heart is a joy unexplainable.

15 But as he which hath called you is holy, so be ye holy in all manner of conversation;
16 Because it is written, Be ye holy; for I am holy.[1 Peter 1:15-16]

Pride will cast stones, causing discord. [Mat 7:3]
We can know its a cover- up for what pride harbors in the heart.
[We Need a Check Up? We do not want pride or anything unpleasing to God]

John 8:7 So when they continued asking him, he lifted up himself, and said unto them, He that is without sin among you, let him first cast a stone;

"PRIDE GOETH BEFORE THE FALL"

What does that mean?
Saved and harboring pride;
you and I can expect to be ashamed before the fall.

Clearly God hates pride that's why lucifer fell.
So then we might ask are the 'Saved harboring pride' going to loose
their Salvation? No absolutely not...
Salvation is eternal and cannot be taken from the Saved.
Praise to Jesus*

Heb 12:2828 Wherefore we receiving a kingdom which cannot be moved,
let us have grace, whereby we may serve God acceptably
with reverence and godly fear:
29For our God is a consuming fire.

We pray we have time as we live on earth to bring these things
to the Lord for inspection and request we be set free of
what we may harbor. That we be set free now as we walk our journey
in Jesus* on earth before we are called Home, before Judgment in the Lord;
that we need not be purified through His Holy Fire.

Time alloted ...God will; He will take pride from His child
that has not even asked it be removed;
that alone should be a wake up call... for we know
pride is going down the hard way...
and let us be thankful God chastises us
or we would not be His... Amen

Heb 12:8 But if ye be without chastisement,
whereof all are partakers, then are ye bastards, and not sons.

Can we believe Father-God is capable of rearing up His children?
If Not: who then is more capable of rearing up His children?
We can trust He who has begun a good work in us will finish it. Amen
But the unsaved, the illegitimate children proclaiming God IS their Father
.... these will not be chastised by God.
God does not chasten them, for they are Not His...Not His own.

We being the Children of the One True Living God,
should do what is right in our Heavenly Fathers eyes..Amen
Psalm 139: 23 Search me, O God, and know my heart: try me, and know my thoughts:
24 And see if there be any wicked way in me, and lead me in the way everlasting.

A humble heart that will admit and confess,
bringing all unto the Lord.
Its a check up from the great physician, He alone can know what might be
taking root there. He will not only tell you, show you, convict you,
He will heal you cleanse you AGAIN, again SETTING YOU FREE to walk a more
righteous walk in Him... Amen That you strive to be Holy as God is Holy,
you without shame.

“The one who says he abides in Him ought himself to walk in the same manner as He walked.” (1 John 2:6)
-------------------
Saved your counted as Holy; its the righteousness of God; of Jesus
imputed to you truth the HOLY SPIRIT the third member of the Holy Trinity.
The Kingdom of God is in you.

“Be holy yourselves also in all your behavior.” [1 Peter 1:15]

We are weak God is strong...
in our weakness we need to come to Him for refreshing daily.
Surrender ourselves daily before Him.
What a privy.

So then being saved we have it all and do not have it all...
We have all we need to build upon, to workout our salvation Amen
We have all we need and there is so much more to aspire to so much
more to gain... God is likened to a priceless treasure
and we gain many gems over time in Him..

Why does God tell us to be Holy and avoid unrighteousness?

"For the wrath of God is revealed from heaven against
all ungodliness and unrighteousness of men,
who hold the truth in unrighteousness. [Rom 1:18]

To hold the truth in unrighteousness,
is to unjustly neglect or refuse to perform our duty to God or man.
When obligation to our fellow men is perceived and neglected;
...via our "selfish" refusal.
Ungodliness, or withholding from God,
is injustice or unrighteousness toward God.

The wrath of God is revealed from heaven against His who stop short
of living up to their privileges, as well as their duty.
See the SIN OF OMISSION consist in withholding,
either from God or man, whatever then is due from us -
is robbing God. [blinded by self... we cant see
... to rob God IS TO rob ourselves]

Do WE have selfish Growing pains in the Body of Christ!
Have we fully arrived are we all we can be?

Sin is not just something we do,
but sometimes it is something that we ought to have done.
Sin is not just COMMISSION; what we can see,
what we know we did [outward works; fruits].
Sin is also inward, it may be hidden from men on earth
but God sees all.[we tend to omit]

Saved we are counted as Holy;
the righteousness of Jesus imputed to us through the Holy Spirit.
A Holy Man [fallen] in sin is equivalent to a righteous man walking in unrighteousness.

STOP:
Holiness does not shut out the potential of indwelling sin
The greatest misery of a holy man that he carries about with him a
"body of death;" [Rom 7 :20-25]
For flesh alone is corruption; we are housed in corruption
... the Holy man battles his corrupt flesh.
Praise to Jesus He will one day give us new bodies made of incorruption.
[1 Cor 15:42,1 Cor 15:50,1 Peter 1:41, Peter 1:23, Phil 3:21]

Phil 3:21 " Who shall change our vile body"
that it may be fashioned like unto "his glorious body"
according to the working whereby he is able even to subdue all things
unto himself. Praise Jesus* {we can know this is a Rapture event ]

- therefore put on The Whole Armor of God [Eph 6: 10]
[Gods protecting, loving hand over us]

Then said Jesus unto them again, "Verily, verily,
I say unto you, I am the door of the sheep."

John 10:27 My sheep hear my voice, and I know them, and they follow me:
John 10:9 "I am the gate (door); whoever enters through me will be saved.
He will come in and go out, and find pasture."


28 Wherefore we RECEIVING A KINGDOM WHICH CANNOT BE MOVED,
let us have grace, whereby we may serve God acceptably with reverence
and godly fear:
29 For our God is a consuming fire. [Heb 12:28-29 ]


_______________

Is walking in Holiness of our Great True Living God difficult to do?
Not at all...
Ask yourself would you strive to please your spouse that you dearly love?
Yes you would...Love is very powerful.

Its out of LOVE for God that we surrender ALL
and desire to be ALL that He desires us to be in Him.
And imagine how much more He loves us. He died for us.
We truly lack no good thing in our God... lets Glorify Jesus*
with all that we have, in the time allotted us.. Amen

*Keep Gods Love, that precious love of His that swells your heart in Him
before you... in your daily walk. In all things put it before your life,
in front of your life, put it before you, between you and your neighbor,
between you and your enemy. Put it before you in front of you as a shield...
and the Glory of God will emanate brightly through and from us.
Glory to God*

Likewise everything that comes to us must get through,
must pass through, must go through Him, through His love first
in order to reach us... We are in the background, God is in the foreground,
Him first.... we are a vessel He dwells in...
When we take the back seat to God ...WE RISE UP IN HIM
...that's not our doing but His doing;
He elevates us... Praise Jesus!!!!
We cannot loose with Jesus* How AWESOME IS OUR GOD!!!

Truly there is no area of our life that we can out give HIM.


Praise the Father
Praise Jesus* the Son
Praise the Holy Spirit
Praise our Three in One Holy Loving God

Rom 8:31 What shall we then say to these things? If God be for us, who can be against us?

THE BLOOD OF BULLS AND GOATS

BEFORE AND SINCE THE CROSS

Before the Cross Sacrifice of blood and bulls is only a covering of sin
not a cleansing from sin.

Heb 10:4 For it is not possible that the blood of bulls and of goats should take away sins. the blood sacrifice of bulls and goats.


THE CROSS;
Jesus IS the ultimate Sacrifice
II Cor 5: 21 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.


The thief on the Cross obtained salvation …
through BAPTISM OF THE HOLY SPIRIT
Luke 23:42And he said unto Jesus, Lord,
remember me when thou comest into thy kingdom.
43 And Jesus said unto him, Verily I say unto thee,
To day shalt thou be with me in paradise.


JESUS SAID: Today Paradise!
We can see AN APPOINTMENT IMMEDIATELY UPON DEATH
...no soul sleep...(2 Cor 5:8) absent from the body,
present with the Lord.

Upon death the thief would have then
met up the Lord in Paradise.
*PARADISE WAS IN THE BELLY OF THE EARTH;

Jesus first descended to then ascended above as described in:
Eph 4:8 wherefore he saith, When he ascended up on high,
he led captivity captive, and gave gifts unto men.

Eph 4:9 (Now that he ascended,
what is it but that he also descended first into the lower
parts of the earth?

Eph 4:10 He that descended is the same also that ascended
up far above all heavens, that he might fill all things.)

JESUS DESCENDED TO PARADISE AND THEN ASCENDED
[ascended to where?]



PARADISE IS CLEARLY DESCRIBED IN LUKE 16

Luke 16: 23 And in hell he lift up his eyes, being in torments, and seeth Abraham afar off, and Lazarus in his bosom.
24 And he cried and said, Father Abraham,
have mercy on me, and send Lazarus,
that he may dip the tip of his finger in water,
and cool my tongue; for I am tormented in this flame.


Note; not all believe this parable as literal,
yet the WORD has given additional supportive scripture
encouraging to support its
validity as a literal place of existence.

We may ask ourselves at this point:
Who was captivity captive?
Why were they captive?
Why did Jesus descend to retrieve these captives in captivity?


For the answer we must look back to before the Cross.
Sacrifice of blood and bulls is atonement for sin; only covered sin.
[Heb 10:4]


WHO IS CAPTIVITY CAPTIVE?
Heb 11 gives insight to the Saints of Old;
those before the Cross looked forward to it
as we look back on it.
They waited on their promised redeemer to come.
The one that was to born in Bethlehem.[Micah 5:2]


WHY WERE THEY CAPTIVE?
Upon death those Saints in God crossed over
into Paradise; a place of bondage not quit the picture of Heaven
as one may imagine. For its not clearly heavens finest if you could
look across a gulf and see others being tormented in flames.
We can imagine those in the Paradise side had a sense of relief
it was not them in the flames mingled with a sense of pity,
remorse, grief at the sight of others in eternal tormentation.
This is clearly not Heavens finest if you are grieving;
your rejoicing is not in its fullest of measure
but joy interrupted.

Satan had some stronghold in the fall of man
some authority over men... that unless Jesus died on the Cross
this place Paradise was as good as and was going to get for those
that Loved the True Living God. It was not Heaven.
Heaven is not in the Belly of the earth.

satans victory was in the garden of eden;
man was tested and fell to the god of this world.
Gods victory was Jesus death on the Cross;
taking ownership of the fall of man;
the sins of the world he bore upon His Holy Body.

"And the veil of the temple was rent in twain from the top to the bottom"
(Mark 15:38).

"And the sun was darkened, and the veil of the temple was rent in the midst"
(Luke 23:45).

Which hope we have as an anchor of the soul, both sure and stedfast, and which entereth into that within the veil" (Heb6:19).

Jesus is the anchor that entered in as our high priest.

Heb 9:11 But Christ being come an high priest of good things to come, by a greater and more perfect tabernacle, not made with hands, that is to say, not of this building;

12 Neither by the blood of goats and calves, but by his own blood he entered in once into the holy place, having obtained eternal redemption for us.

"IF" the blood of bulls and goats could render a mans soul passage
into the KINGDOM OF HEAVEN, then Jesus died on the Cross in vain.
Now we can see the Saints of Old were held Captive.

WHY DID JESUS DESCEND TO RETRIEVE THESE CAPTIVES IN CAPTIVITY?
After the Cross; those that Loved God the Father and waited on Jesus His Son;
Jesus took these souls out of Paradise and up to the Third Heaven
rendering the comfort side of Hadies the Paradise side
*CLOSED or VOID or residency if you will.

Paradise is now the *Third Heaven, THE KINGDOM OF HEAVEN;
Jesus* tore the veil opened the Gate and made this possible!
Praise Holy Jesus* for enduring much suffering for we sinners.
Eph 4:8 he led *Captivity *Captive, and gave gifts unto men.

Heb 9:15 And for this cause he is the mediator of the new testament,
that by means of death, for the redemption of the transgressions
that were under the first testament, they which are called might
receive the promise of eternal inheritance.

11 But Christ being come an high priest of good things to come,
by a greater and more perfect tabernacle,
not made with hands, that is to say, not of this building;

12 Neither by the blood of goats and calves,
but by his own blood he entered in once into the holy place,
having obtained eternal redemption for us.

23 It was therefore necessary that the patterns of things
in the heavens should be purified with these;
but the heavenly things themselves with better
sacrifices than these.

24 For Christ is not entered into the holy places made
with hands, which are the figures of the true;
but INTO HEAVEN ITSELF,
now to appear in the presence of God for us:

[INTO HEAVEN ITSELF is a little clue]

Consider the gifts given to those before the Cross
are not all in the same as the gifts promised to
we on this side of the Cross. For one those
before the Cross are considered friends of the Bridegroom.
The Bride awaits on this side of the Cross.

I believe the thief on the Cross was the first
recorded member of the Bride of Christ.
Realize Jesus died before the thief saying it is finished
hence the thief would then upon death enter into Bride of Christ.
[We realize a part of the Bride is in Heaven now and part
still on earth; as to die in Jesus today is to change places;
from earth dwelling to heaven dwelling... amen]

I pet 2:9 But ye are a chosen generation,
a royal priesthood, an holy nation,
a peculiar people; that ye should shew forth the praises
of him who hath called you out of darkness
into his marvellous light:


JESUS ASCENDED TO WHERE?; to the THIRD HEAVEN


[ J.V.I. study]- There are Three Heavens:
2 Cors 12:2 I knew a man in Christ above fourteen years ago,
(whether in the body, I cannot tell; or whether out of the body,
I cannot tell: God knoweth;) such an one caught up to the *third heaven.

WE HAVE MENTION OF THE FIRST AND THIRD HEAVEN

THE *FIRST HEAVEN IS MADE OF THE:

ATMOSPHERE
TROPOSPHERE
STRATOSPHERE
MESOSPHERE
IONOSPHERE
EXOSPHERE

FROM THE EARTH UP TO APPROX. 600 MILES IN SPACE

FROM THERE UP ANOTHER APPROX. 600 MILES IN SPACE UPWARDS

QUASARS HAVE BEEN DISCOVERED 80 - 85 MILLION LIGHT YEARS FROM EARTH
<6 TRILLION MILES IS THE DISTANCE OF A LIGHT YEAR>
APPROX DISTANCE IS 185 TRILLION BILLION MILES...thats 95% TO THE END OF THE
SECOND HEAVEN
THE END OF THE COSMOS
THE HUBBLE HAS A LENS TO SEE THAT FAR
IT IS SHORT ONLY 5% OF SIGHT TO SEE THE GATES OF HEAVEN INTO THE
*THIRD HEAVEN (Kinda like the Tower of Babble)

Talk about no generation will have known and seen as much; we are it.
If we have too much more time here.
We will watch what goes on the Third Heaven
Just as the tower of Babble; not permissible
_______________________________________________________________


Rom 2: 5 But after thy hardness and impenitent
heart treasurest up unto thyself wrath against
the day of wrath and revelation of the righteous judgment of God;
6 Who will render to every man according to his deeds:

THE JUST AND THE UNJUST WILL BE MEASURED BY HIS DEEDS
EACH WILL RECEIVE HIS REWARD ACCORDINGLY.

Matt 11:23 And thou, Capernaum, which art
exalted unto heaven, shalt be brought down to hell:
for if the mighty works, which have been done in thee,
had been done in Sodom, it would have remained until this day.
24 But I say unto you, That it shall be more tolerable for the
land of Sodom in the Day of Judgment, than for thee.

WHY IS JUDGMENT FOR SODOM MORE TOLERABLE THAN FOR CAPERNAUM?
SODOM WAS BEFORE CHRIST; THEY HAD NOT HEARD OF HIM
THERE ARE DIFFERENT DEGREES OF PUNISHMENT... JUST AS REWARDS

FOR EXAMPLE; SOME LIVE ALL THEIR LIVES WORKING FOR THE LORD;
THEY ARE SAVED AND HAVE DENIED THEMSELVES MUCH IN JESUS NAME SAKE.

OTHERS MAY FIND JESUS ON THEIR DEATH BED,
NEVER HAVING DONE A THING IN THE NAME OF JESUS

SALVATION IS A FREE GIFT FROM GOD.
YET THERE ARE CROWNS TO EARN IN JESUS NAME
REWARDS: THERE WILL BE THOSE WITH NO CROWN TO OFFER UNTO THE LORD.

THE FINAL PENITENTIARY
GAHANNA- THE LAKE of Fire or HELL
The Judgment at the Great White Throne

11 And I saw a Great White Throne,
and Him that sat on it, from whose face the earth and the heaven fled away;
and there was found no place for them.

12 And I saw the dead, small and great, stand before God;
and the books were opened: and another book was opened,
which is the book of life:
and the dead were judged out of those things which were
written in the books,
according to their works.

13 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.

14 And death and hell were cast into the lake of fire.
This is the second death.
15 And whosoever was not found written in the book of life
was cast into the lake of fire.

DEATH AS IN DEAD - WITHOUT CHRIST...
THESE IN HELL (HADES) are brought up from Hades to stand before
the Great White Throne of Judgment… to be judged and sentenced
to what level of degree of punishment for all eternity..
After Judgment they are sent back to the eternal prison Hell
(or Gahanna)... where each individual will serve out his or her
degree of punishment for all eternity


WHAT HAPPENED TO THE OLD PARADISE ADJACENT THE FLAMES OF HELL?
The INCREASE of the wicked have since taken up residency there...


Isa 5:14 THEREFORE HELL HATH ENLARGED HERSELF,
and opened her mouth without measure:
and their glory, and their multitude,
and their pomp, and he that rejoiceth,
shall descend into it.
--------------------

BEFORE THE CROSS:
Exo 32:30 And it came to pass on the morrow, that Moses said unto the people, Ye have sinned a great sin: and now I will go up unto the Lord; peradventure I shall make an atonement for your sin.

Lev 4 :26 And he shall burn all his fat upon the altar, as the fat of the sacrifice of peace offerings: and the priest shall make an atonement for him as concerning his sin, and it shall be forgiven him.

Leviticus 5:16 And he shall make amends for the harm that he hath done in the holy thing, and shall add the fifth part thereto, and give it unto the priest: and the priest shall make an atonement for him with the ram of the trespass offering, and it shall be forgiven him.


-------------
AFTER THE CROSS:


Eph 1: 7 In whom we have redemption through his blood, the forgiveness of sins, according to the riches of his grace;


1 John 1:9 If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just to forgive us our sins, and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness.

1 John 4:9 In this was manifested the love of God toward us, because that God sent his only begotten Son into the world, that we might live through him


II Cor 5: 21 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.

Philip.3:21; he is able even to subdue all things unto himself.

JESUS* PAID THE COST IN FULL;
that WHOSOEVER will might enter in and be SAVED.

John3:16 For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son,
that WHOSOEVER believeth in him should not perish, but have EVERLASTING LIFE.

The covering of ones sins through the blood of bulls and goats; these were necessary repetitious acts before Yahweh.

~~~~~~

On THIS SIDE OF THE CROSS:
Jesus being the ultimate sacrifical Lamb;
is not a repetitious act of our ability to obtain Salvation.

Jesus* died once and for all... likewise
"ONCE Saved" -YOU ARE SAVED; for all eternity.

Rev 3:20 Behold, I stand at the door,
and knock: if any man hear my voice, and open the door,
I will come in to him,
and will sup with him,
and he with me.

Unless you had a mental ascent
by which means you are not saved only delusional
This then being your hearts earnest wake up call to come to Jesus*
to obtain in spirit what the mind cannot comprehend.


"ALL" PRAISE to JESUS * for ALL THE GOOD THINGS HE HAS DONE!

The MYSTERIES of the HEART of GOD

WHATS IN YOUR HEART?


Luke 6:45
A good man out of the good treasure of his heart
bringeth forth that which is good;
and an evil man out of the evil treasure of his heart
bringeth forth that which is evil:
for of the abundance of the heart his mouth speaketh.

Mans heart is his driving force through life.
For what is in his heart permeates from his mouth.
His tongue like a rudder will bring forth increased fullness of his hearts desire.
For example if a man desires to find Jesus through salvation he will.
If a man desires increased knowledge of Gods word and a closer walk with Him,
longing to discover Gods will for his life ... he will speak out these things and they will come to fruition.

A wicked man will speak out what so ever is in his heart, that it be made known.
Mat 12:34 O generation of vipers, how can ye, being evil, speak good things?
for out of the abundance of the heart the mouth speaketh.

Knowing satans desire is to hide, to disguise himself as he works;
if you have eyes to see and ears to hear you will know beyond the disguise as to
who is inside. What do I mean by who is inside?

If we are not filled with the Holy Spirit
then the old fallen nature of man is harboring what is not of God
and the TRUTH is not in us.

The Truth being referred to God in three persons within you.
The Word of God is the Truth.
Jesus is the Word and the Word is God.
Saved your filled with the Holy Spirit the third member of the Holy Trinity
He is the Truth within you... Saved; He is referred to as the Kingdom of God
within you.
That's the Father Son and Holy Spirit;all and one.
How is some know this spiritual place and some not?
Take heart... if your truthfully saved your growing in Jesus*
and you will eventually come into more of the Truth of God
in your spiritual journey in Him.

Saved: God is leading us ever onward through our hearts desires.
How does God lead us?....through our hearts desires.

Mysteriously as the Holy Spirit enters a mans vessel and takes up residency within.
Likewise God mysteriously plants desires in our hearts that we come to think on them to desire them and to come to Him in prayer and pray for them to be fulfilled in our lives.

*That is how God leads us. Through our hearts desires.

Dividing the heart even for the saved the spirit filled there is room for ones own freewill to harbor ones own fleshly desires. Those attributes of the heart often surface more when we are but babes in Christ and learning our way.
Babes in Christ often see God as a genie in a bottle to ask for anything they wish and it will be granted to them...

*This is referred to as asking a miss.

James 4:3
Ye ask, and receive not,
because ye ask amiss,
that ye may consume it upon your lusts.

Dear child of God when your loving Father in Heaven is rearing you up
He will not give you all those fleshly things you ask for because
He is not what you imagine Him to be... your learning your growing
and in time you will discover the Holiness and righteousness of God
on a deeper level and one day you will look back and say to yourself
I had a different image of God than I do now.

One of the greatest repetitions of scriptural awareness for babes in Christ is

Mat19:23 Then said Jesus unto his disciples, Verily I say unto you,
That a rich man shall hardly enter into the kingdom of heaven.

1 Tim 6:10 For the love of money is the root of all evil:
which while some coveted after, they have erred from the faith,
and pierced themselves through with many sorrows.

Just coming out of the world and into the fold of God;
babes bring in the hunger for worldly things and imagine their great God
is going to provide worldly riches beyond measure, rooms full of treasure.

Early on its imperative they be reminded thats not the way;
for they have come out FROM and must be renewed IN mind that God is Holy
We are to SEEK YE FIRST THE KINGDOM OF GOD.

Many take a long time in their walk in the Lord to do that.
Its a journey in the Lord for all of us; some grow more quickly thatn others,
no two walk the same spiritual path or live the same life on earth, each being unique in Jesus*

As long as we are in the flesh we battle the flesh,
its a process over time ...growth in this area depends
on our willingness to seek more of Gods will
for our life through study of His Word.
Thats general for all in the Body
we each ought to study the word
to show ourselves approved unto the Lord,
and we can know more clearly what Gods will is
for any of us in the Body through His word alone. Amen..
The Word leaves no stone unturned.

To know Gods greater will for our individual personal life in Him;
comes through prayer. Thats personal
its for you alone. This is also where your heart comes into view.
God will plant desires in your heart... that you will
think on, ponder and begin to desire hence you will find yourself
coming to Him in prayer over these things
that He might bring them to pass in your life.
*Thats the mystery of how God leads us.. through our hearts desires.

Our growth in the Lord is dependent upon our stubbornness
our rebelliousness in Him.
The more we fight Him we harbor more of ourselves,
more of our desires which are of the flesh,
more of those things we may be asking amiss upon
overlooking Gods will for our lives
in this frame of rebelliousness Gods will for our lives
is seemingly buried within and our fleshly desires prevail,
they emanate from our mouths. Our words define precisely
or indecisively the bounty of our hearts.

As we seek more of God and less of us... Guess What?
We are getting down to the bottom of our hearts
where God has planted a seed of His will for our lives
WHAT IS GODS WILL FOR YOUR LIFE ON EARTH?
He indeed has a plan for you, a purpose for you,
that through your life He would be Glorified.

When you reach that place of discovery even though you may have been
saved many years its still like born again into God.
Its a new knowledge gained in God that you did not have before
and its a new treasure you want to keep digging deeper to find the all of it.

Psa10:17
Lord, thou hast heard the desire of the humble:
thou wilt prepare their heart,
thou wilt cause thine ear to hear:


God has a will for each of us. He has planted His desire for our lives
in our hearts. In order to know that more clearly to precisely;
we need to live our lives in less of us and more of Him.
The more of God you desire in you life, you will need to loose more of your
desires. This may be difficult but necessary; stop complaining, stop whining,
stop murmuring, stop craving worldly things... just stop and accept where you are.
You are where you are, I don't know how you got there,
nor do I know your pain of heart or pain of flesh.
Trust God alone in the depths of your situation, your delemah, your
trauma, your brokenness, your mental state of being...
He knows all... trust in that. Trust in Him.

No matter where you are; let go of yourself;
your desires... just drop them... its a release in itself to do that.
Yes its actually quit refreshing if you ask me. Its a freedom you have just permitted yourself. Just let go. It works. You know why?

Because Saved; God is waiting and ready to take over,
wholly and completely. He is WAITING,
He is on standby, waiting on you.
Your the one holding up your growth in Him.
Hes the one waiting on you.

Praise Jesus* He is patient with us. Amen

If your ready to dig deeper and to be made aware of Gods divine will
for you walk of life on earth... seek ye first the Kingdom of God with in you.
When He knows your sincere and ready to hear Him;
He will reveal what He planted in your heart long ago.

Keeping tight in your closer walk with God that His will be done
not ours. He can then begin to take you where He desires for you to be in Him.
Where ever it is; if there is a mountain in your way, trust through your prayers
He will get you beyond it. He will take you around it, up over it,
or tunnel through it. He will crumble it to the ground if you will;
no matter His course... your going in. Your going into His desire for your life in greater abundance because your heart was right in Him.


Need a heart check?
Whats in your heart?
Is it worldly things or Godly things?

Clean out your heart; allow God to have the all of it.
Let Him have full residency in your heart.
Every time it beats.... its Him not you... [thats true no matter if
your saved or not but you understand the deeper meaning of that statement]
Every time we breath if we breathed in the Father Son and Holy Spirit
it would be less of us and more of God. Amen

Before we do anything we should put God first in thought and in prayer
asking Him be with us leading us in all things. Have Him check our hearts
for any wickedness within that He remove it from us.
Again that we be all for Him and not walking in lusts of the flesh.

Our growth in our Salvation is a process, we learn over time through our life
experiences, none of us walk the same identical path.
Each of us has our own hardships and trials to endure.
God knows our heartache, our pain, through the most
perplexing times of our walk in Him,
those times when we feel as though
we cannot go on another step; God is with us.
He will refresh us and give us some new hope
that we can do it, we can make it; KEEP GOING ONWARD
there is a light at the end of the tunnel.

We cannot forget our freewill, Saved; that is not taken from us.
Are we working with God or against Him?

None of us are made puppets or we would worship
THE TRUE LIVING GOD 24/7.
If heavenly beings were made puppet-like without the ability of freewill lucifer could never have come to develop a prideful heart hence fall from heaven.
No heavenly beings or men on earth are on autopilot, puppet-like; all clearly have freewill.
Adam did sin of his freewill, hence the fall of man; brought us to Gods only begotten Son giving up life at great cost that we might gain eternal life through Him. Praise our precious Savior, our Jesus* for His sufferings for us.

Saved we fight our freewill against Gods will.
The closer walk with Him the more we loose ourselves.
To loose ourselves is to GAIN THE MORE OF GOD.
Gain the more of God in every sense
and aspect of the word gain possible
in Jesus Christ our precious Lord and Savior.

The choice is ours. What choices have we made that
have brought us to a lowly state in the Lord?
Are we paying for them now?
Evaluate your position in the Lord and how you arrived
and what should have you, what could have you done differently;
God being at the helm?

We may grieve because we have lost our footing,
lost our way in the Lord and we have price to pay.
Or we are in a fiery trial.
Trust Jesus will never leave us or forsake us.
He can and will bring all things to fruition in our lives in Him.
He comes to us in many ways; calling us to be the all that we can be in Him.
To rise up in Him.
To AWAKEN TO THE MORE OF HIM and less of you.

Truly its to your good favor in the Lord to empty your heart of self
and let the fullness of the Holy Spirit of God spring forth.
He is unmistakable for His peace,love and joy beyond measure.
He floods our hearts with; when according to the world we should be in tears
and grief. Thats the gift of God in us. Amen!

ALL THE GLORY HONOR AND PRAISE TO JESUS*
our wonderful perfect redeemer; THE SAVIOR OF THE WORLD.
The savior of; whosoever will.

Does this mean even though we live in the world;
God will never give us anything worldly via our prayers?

Absolutely not... God knows our needs ... HE KNOWS you have worldly needs as you walk this earth..

Luke 12:7
But even the very hairs of your head are all numbered.
Fear not therefore:ye are of more value than many sparrows.

Luke 12:6
Are not five sparrows sold for two farthings,
and not one of them is forgotten before God?

Mat10:31
Fear ye not therefore,
ye are of more value than many sparrows.


Matthew 6:
25 Therefore I say unto you, Take no thought for your life, what ye shall eat,
or what ye shall drink; nor yet for your body, what ye shall put on. I
s not the life more than meat, and the body than raiment?
26 Behold the fowls of the air: for they sow not, neither do they reap,
nor gather into barns; yet your heavenly Father feedeth them.
Are ye not much better than they?
27 Which of you by taking thought can add
one cubit unto his stature?
28 And why take ye thought for raiment?
Consider the lilies of the field, how they grow; t
hey toil not, neither do they spin:
29 And yet I say unto you,
That even Solomon in all his glory was not
arrayed like one of these.
30 Wherefore, if God so clothe the grass of the field,
which to day is, and to morrow is cast into the oven,
shall he not much more clothe you, O ye of little faith?
31 Therefore take no thought, saying, What shall we eat?
or, What shall we drink? or, Wherewithal shall we be clothed?
32 (For after all these things do the Gentiles seek:) for your
heavenly Father knoweth that ye have need of all these things.
33 But seek ye first the kingdom of God, and his righteousness;
and all these things shall be added unto you.
34 Take therefore no thought for the morrow:
for the morrow shall take thought for the things of itself.
Sufficient unto the day is the evil thereof.


*Matthew 6:8
Be not ye therefore like unto them: for your Father knoweth what things ye have need of, BEFORE ye ask him.

See He KNOWS WHAT WE NEED BEFORE WE ASK; just the same
we bring honor to the Lord when we do ASK OF HIM... Amen


Psa21:2
Thou hast given him his heart's desire,
and hast not withholden the request of his lips.


Are we able to separate our NEED from our GREED our NEED from LUST OF THE FLESH?
Gods will be done on earth as it is Heaven.


ITS ALL IN THE HEART! JESUS IS NOT ONLY THE READER OF HEARTS; He plants seeds of desire in them.


Rom 10:1
Brethren, my heart's desire and prayer to God for Israel is,
that they might be saved.

Psa37:4Delight thyself also in the Lord;
and he shall give thee the desires of thine heart.

Luke 12:31 But rather seek ye the kingdom of God;
and all these things shall be added unto you.


When we get hungry for Jesus* He will reveal all things to us in a timely manner; that as always, His will be done on earth as it is in Heaven. He will never leave you or forsake you. In Christ you are Saved for evermore. Amen

And who knows He may be calling you to life likened to Joshua, that you would aid many in times of famine? Nothing is impossible with God.


What ever our lot, to God be the Glory,
not that we be Glorified but that Jesus* be Glorified.
This life will soon pass away and we will appear before Jesus
let us not be ashamed for our time on earth.
We pray we are doing all we can,
being all we can,
open to the all of Gods will through us
in our walk in Jesus... In Jesus* name. Amen

What has He planted in your heart?

Be Blessed in Jesus* Christ the Savior of whosoever will come unto Him; and enter in.

God Reveals

THAT YOU BE EDIFIED IN YOUR SPIRITUAL WALK IN JESUS*


Saved your His child, He will watch
over His own. You may go through many
great trials in you journey in the Lord
your God You may be left in the desert of
your spiritual walk dry and thirsty lack
of the True Living Water to sustain you
it may be at times that you feel great
separation from God, but know its these
times of your journey in the great I AM
in the Son and Holy Spirit your being tested
pressed for more. Your being challenged to be more.
Be encouraged to look up even though the sky looks dark
raise up your head in hope. The creator of Heaven and earth
is not far from you.

Saved the Holy Spirit is dwelling in you.
Though He may seem silent, though He may
seem to offer no hope. Please realize
these are trials, that will try your heart
and mind, your spiritual walk in God.

Is it stable, is it secure, will you go
astray or wait out the dry place?

Will you hold out and wait for the
water that will refresh you once again,
renewing your spirit your peace your
joy in the Lord your God?

Will you hold out or give up and walk away?

When if, should you; determine to walk away from God;
because He is not right there when you believe He should be,
your journey will grow even more difficult, you will not prevail
in that frame of mind or heart.

You only serve to hurt yourself.
Its far better to suffer in the desert
than to build a golden calf of your own
freewill against Gods will
for your life.

When Moses was missing from the view of the
multitude as he was in the presence of God
and not before men. They lost their way,
they were not patient, they could not wait
for their shepherd to return [as Moses led
the Israelite he was their shepherd ordained by God]
even after the mighty miracles they were not only
witness to but a part of ...they still stammered
and lost their way.

We need reflect on the hearts of those
that were in the very midst of the
miracles of awesome Gods mighty hand
and still they lost their way.
How then might we respond walking
with the unseen God, not having been
a part of the miracles that set the
Israelites free. Not having been delivered
from bondage to cross through raised
water to freedom and witness the enemy
of Gods children perish beneath the water.

We who have not been privy to so many
lively non-deniable miracles of
the hand of God ... walking on this
side of the Cross .. walking in our
soul salvation in and through Jesus*
our precious Lord and Savior....
how much like the Israelites might we be?

Let it be a sign unto us
on this side of the Cross;
when we feel we have come to a
spiritual wilderness of great thirst,
of dry, cracked, parched ground
and there seems to be no hope,
only a seemingly long period
of empty silence .... a time of
absence of a time of void of
when if we are in that place
.... let us reflect on Exodus...
and know your deliverer your God is
working for you, working on your behalf.

Can He trust you?
You being seemingly alone for a time
[even though the Lord your God has
never left or forsaken you]
in the desert of your journey
what will you do?

If you have arrived in that place
in your walk in the Lord let me be a
comfort to you in my words to you.
I was there; for what seemed like
a life time, too long.. Its not
a place of having grieved the Holy Spirit.
Its a place of a spiritual trial.

Reflecting back on that place pondering;
does God test many like this for the sake
of what the Israelites did having been set
free and then turned from Him so quickly
to build a false god to bow and worship?
What might you do in forty days in this place?

What we can know for certain is;
what they did in that place of waiting
on the Lord God is exactly
what we ought not do.

Recollecting their behavior,
we can know it should not be repeated
in our spiritual journey in Jesus*
no matter what comes our way. Amen
Let us trust God with us,
He will never leave us or forsake us.
With God before us whom can be against us.

In our driest times of our spiritual
journey we need to gird up and PRESS IN.
Keep in His word Trust in His truths and
if we hold our ground, not only will we
emerge from, we will prevail for having
not succumb to other gods in our
spiritual desert place of time.
Praise Jesus* Amen

Our walk in the Lord is to ever INCREASE
in Gods will For our lives, that He teach
us how to live in Him. That He reveal Himself
to us; as we grow in Him we see more and know
more of Him. He reveals in His good and perfect
time according to His perfect will; not ours.
He is the potter... We are the clay.
He will mold us and make us and REMAKE us
and have His own way.

Who is likened unto our Great God?
None, not one. He is, He was, He always
will be, all things will pass away
but His word will not pass away.
The word is God. We have much to learn
and will ever be learning in God.For if
we say; I know it all, I have it all and
I need no more increase of God weather be
in knowledge of or intimacy of or increase
of the gifts of the Holy Spirit of God,
If we say we are full to the brim and
have no lack, surely then we are Lack...
we fool ourselves. Who can say they have
the all of God and there is nothing left
to know of Him, nothing left to grow
in Him for they have it all?
"Who is equal to God?... Enough said".

Beloved in your journey in the Lord Jesus*
have hope in all things and in all times.
Though the sky looks dark, if you hold on
light of day will break through,
the brilliance of the sun will warm you.

If you are thirsty and feel the desert
lacking spiritual water... I bid you hold on
... your being tried ... for your salt.
For you are the salt of the earth...
what value is salt if it has lost it savor?

Are you worth your salt?
God is searching your faithfulness in Him.
From the moment of our betrothal to God through
the Saving Grace of Jesus* Christ Gods
only begotten Son; you are in the beginning
of your spiritual journey. You will stand on
mountain tops and slide down the other side
to the bottom of a valley below. You will linger
and wait on, you will cry out, it "may seem"
as God is not with you.

I bid you wait on, hold on to what you have
in the Lord. For those that wait out these
spiritual trials in their journey in the Lord
have much reward thereafter.
For the Lord will flood them with
His great pleasure in their obedience to Him.
For their patience in waiting on Him.
He will rejoice in their faithfulness
in Him and celebrate them in many ways.
Perhaps through greater spiritual enlightenment,
more joy, more increased hope and faith,
a blessing of some treasure from the Lords table;
[who can know what the Lord will celebrate you with?]

Trust He does indeed rejoice in us
when we are victorious in Him!
WHATS HIS GREAT DESIRE of us?
That we have faith enough in Him
to trust in Him; no matter our course,
no matter our lot in life,
no matter our spiritual place
in the dessert or a bottom valley,
no matter where He leads us
or so seemingly leaves us.

Can we trust He will never leave us or forsake us?
Can we see we must be tried by fire for our faithfulness in Him?

None in the Body is without test without trial; none.
No one sneaks into the family of God.
None are unnoticed or not counted.
None are ever out of His sight.
None are ever forsaken.

ALL ARE TRIED FOR THEIR FAITHFULNESS IN JESUS*

Are you up to the journey of your eternal life?
Are you up to the Fathers business or your own?
Do you wander and stammer,
do you cry for lack and are unfulfilled?
Where is your patience where is your trust?
Where is your heart?
What is God doing in your life in Him?

Many questions to ask oneself to evaluate where
one may be in their walk in the Lord their God.

Aid is available no matter our course; there is
always a friend that sticketh closer than a brother.
When your feel abandoned or dry of thirst of Spiritual Water,
when you feel separated from God, as your in His testing ground
of fire for your salts worth in Him.

I want to tell you something that may sound contradictory
at this point yet it all fits together.
The DIFFERENCE BETWEEN what I have said and what I'm about
to say is TIME AND GROWTH in the Lord God has since
enlightened me to a new spiritual level.

Permit me to share what God has revealed
that you might be increased in your walk in Jesus*
May these words edify and enrich your life in Jesus.
I pray they do and that you will give
All the Praise, All the Glory, All Honor, to Jesus* Christ;
our Lord and Savior... Amen

YOU CAN TAP INTO THAT TRUE LIVING WATER from the desert
of your spiritual trial and no longer thirst.
Praise Jesus* be enlightened!
You can be fulfilled and sustained through.
You who are saved have the third member of
the Holy Trinity dwelling within your being;
if you tap into Him, you will drink
and you will be refreshed, renewed!

The True Living Water is of the Father,
The Son and of the Holy Spirit
our Great Three in One God.
He who has the Holy Spirit indwelling
can tap into Him.
We on this side of the cross have
something more than the Israelites did...
they had the Holy Spirit come upon them
to do some great work and then
He would leave them.

Since the Cross; Jesus promised
and left us the Holy Spirit
hence saved we have Him within
and we are never truly alone.
If when we tap into what the Lord
has given us, trust that we shall not thirst
but find our fill from within.

How many of us in the Body of Jesus
do not recognize the Third member of the Holy Trinity?
Do not realize, recognize His ongoing work in us nor understand
what "value of God" has inwardly been given them?

You have much, you have ALL you need.
Upon Soul Salvation you have all of the Holy Spirit you need,
He increases our spiritual gifts as we recognize Him as we tap into Him
we will grow miraculously more quickly in our spiritual journey.

Again, consider in God we grow to understand,
we are expected to increase in Knowledge of God
Study His word that we be approved.
The Holy Spirit is not to be overlooked
but embraced as part of God; OUR GOD IS IN THREE PERSONS.
Understand when we grow in knowledge of;
we benefit ourselves in our
spiritual journey as well as others. Amen

Tap into the Holy Spirit of God within your
vessel and your spiritual journey
in Jesus* will be greatly increased
to your good favor in Jesus*
Seek again, look again,
look at the "He" God has given thee.
He is within your being,
tap into the Holy Spirit of God.

Its a new day, a new time.
Since the Cross we have been offered something more than.
Recall our journey in the Lord is a growing process.
Saved we grow, upon soul salvation none knows all.
We all learn, we learn over time.
Learning we share our treasures of God with
the Body of Christ that the Body be edified.

God does not give us treasures that will not edify the Body.
Increase in God is His will for His precious children.
We grow, in Jesus,He is our Good Shepherd.

Just as the Israelites; so will we be tried,
may your thirst be quenched in the Lord
{sooner...through this heightened awareness
of what you have within you, that they indeed
did not have. His precious TRUE LIVING WATER
IS WITHIN YOU; waiting for you to tap in and drink.

Remember we are to grow in;
NOT be stagnated in our spiritual salvation.
Change comes frequently as we learn in our Lord Jesus.
From the moment of our Salvation we were forever CHANGED
as we grow up in Jesus we will ever be CHANGING
for if we stay the same and we do not grow
we are then stagnated in our slump and can loose
our greater potential in Jesus... Jesus* calls us to be more
to be all we can be... He gave us life,
to live it more abundantly is to seek ye first the kingdom of God
and that beloved is on the inside of you.


Praise the Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit our great three in one God!
Praise Jesus* our great redeemer for having paid all at the Cross!
That we may come in and sup with Him and He with us.


Be Blessed in your hearts journey in Jesus*

ARE YOU IN A SPIRITUAL SLUMP?
ARE YOU LACKING SPIRITUAL GROWTH IN JESUS*

Remember; its not God that reminds you of your past life before soul salvation,
its not God that will never let you forget your sins or short comings in Jesus since
your salvation, its not God that strives to keep you from spiritual growth in Jesus.
It is the god of this world that wants you chained to your old man and will
drive you into the RECALL any all of your sins that God has forgiven you of.
satan will squelch your growth from every avenue possible,
that you be rendered weak, and broken...
dont pay him any mind.

* Recall YOUR WORTH!

*Saved you are re-made, changed, growing in your VALUE in Jesus*

*Jesus* PAID your sins in full.. you were bought with GREAT PRICE!

*YOUR A CHILD OF THE TRUE LIVING GOD

*In Jesus* YOU ARE MORE THAN YOU KNOW!



*He WHO IS IN YOU is greater than He who is in the world. [Holy Spirit]

1 John 4:4 Ye are of God, little children, and have overcome them:
because greater is he that is in you, than he that is in the world.

1 Cor 2:13 Which things also we speak, not in the words which man's wisdom teacheth, but which the Holy Ghost teacheth; comparing spiritual things with spiritual.

1 Cor 14:12 Even so ye, forasmuch as ye are zealous of spiritual gifts, seek that ye may excel to the edifying of the church.

Rev 21:10 And he carried me away in the spirit to a great and high mountain, and shewed me;

Matt 25:23 His lord said unto him, Well done, good and faithful servant; thou hast been faithful over a few things, I will make thee ruler over many things: enter thou into the joy of thy lord.
