CERTAIN? YOU ARE SAVED
The first step is making certain you are saved,
- some truly are saved... Hallelujah! for that.
- some had a mental ascent?
The Demons the Fallen Angels Believe and tremble
James 2:19 They were there when He was there.
For Christ is from old from everlasting. Micah 5:2
But knowledge doesn’t Save anybody.
.. In Jesus day many believed on Him when they saw
the Miracles that He did...Why Not?
What Power He Has!
But Jesus did not believe in them.
For He knew all men.
In John 2:23-24 He could see that It was just and Intellectual Ascent.
Paul said I declare unto you the Gospel Jesus Knows All Men
23 Now when he was in Jerusalem at the passover,
in the feast day, many believed in his name, when they saw the miracles which he did.
24 But Jesus did not commit himself unto them, because he knew all men,
- some are wolves in sheep clothing...
Matthew 7:15Beware of false prophets, which come to you in sheep's clothing,
but inwardly they are ravening wolves
- some are doing their own program
working their way to heaven...
believing their good – works will save them in the end.
and all our righteousnesses are as filthy rags;
and we all do fade as a leaf; and our iniquities,
like the wind, have taken us away.
-some [wrongly] believe they were born saved
and need not do or say a thing
but merely believe that they were born saved
= so no need to be born again for them,they claim a unique exemption...
= so no need to be born again for them,they claim a unique exemption...
John 3:7Marvel not that I said unto thee,
Ye must be born again.
-some believe all gods are welcome
Exodus 20:3Thou shalt have no other gods before me.
-some believe they can serve two...
the god of this world and Jesus*
Matthew 7:23And then will I profess unto them,
I never knew you: depart from me, ye that work iniquity.
- some believe if you’re a good person
and don’t hurt anyone,
and do good things all your life your going to heaven.
Romans 3:10 As it is written, There is none righteous, no, not one:
Romans 3:10 As it is written, There is none righteous, no, not one:
- some believe they will go to purgatory... a waiting station... finally after some time via the prayers of those yet living on earth.... they will be released and sent to heaven. Colossians
2:5For though I be absent in the flesh, yet am I with you in the spirit, joying and beholding your order, and the stedfastness of your faith in Christ.
2:5For though I be absent in the flesh, yet am I with you in the spirit, joying and beholding your order, and the stedfastness of your faith in Christ.
There is No soul sleep
absent from the body
present with the Lord...
see Luke 16 The Rich man and Lazarus
each had immediate appointments upon death...
no second chances and each man is responsible for his own sins....
also to the thief on the cross
Luke 23:43And Jesus said unto him,
Verily I say unto thee,
To day shalt thou be with me in paradise.
An immediate appointments upon death.
The God of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob the God of Israel,
the God that gave His only begotten Son, t
hat whosoever believeth in Him should
not perish but obtain everlasting life. [John 3:16]
There is only one way into the Kingdom of the True Living God: JESUS*
The only real God of this world is Jesus* Christ;
Jesus is God in three persons.
Jesus is the one that died for us....
Jesus is the only one that will judge us,
Jesus is the only one that will have the final decision of our eternity...
no other gods have that ability.
Do you realize In this world all the gods are welcome...
you are free to worship any of the gods you desire....
in any way you desire and as public as you wish...
absolutely no problem...
with one very important exception;
NOT JESUS*
The True Living God in three persons
The True Living God in three persons
that second member of the Holy Trinity
that died on the cross for whosoever.
- Jesus* is not welcome in the hearts and minds of the ment He created.
- Jesus* is not welcome in the world that He created ..
- Jesus* is the most wanted obliterated to nonexistence
- JESUS* is the worlds most hated God,
Saved and following Jesus-
the adversary of the True Living God is- your adversary.
One strong reason why Christians clash, is we have a hodgepodge of so many types
and kinds of Christians.... The clash is due to the presence and absence
of the Holy Spirit. Light and darkness can not dwell together no matter what
title we give ourselves... For the spiritual world is true regardless if our lips tell
lies that we believe as truth... Still the spiritual world operates according the
truth...the truth is the word...
John 1:1 In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God.
The word holds the truth and is the truth...
unless the Holy Spirit is within us via Salvation...
we are spiritually: walking darkness,
blind, deaf and perhaps hard of heart.
Jesus* died for everybody, whosoever is welcome...
but everybody does not want Jesus*
That’s obvious and clear to understand
because we are sinners and we enjoy our sin...
If we acknowledge Jesus we must acknowledge sin,
If we acknowledge sin then we must repent..
If we sincerely repent claiming and inviting Jesus in our hearts ...
we will be living a different life style... and that’s means change is eminent.
We don’t want to change, we like our life the way it is...
we love it, we do all we want, we love our freedom to choose our life path,
friends and actions we love the life we know and build upon it..
.Why change a good thing? ... it works, whats wrong with it?
.Why change a good thing? ... it works, whats wrong with it?
What's wrong with it? Is what our first response might be when
were offered a new life in Jesus?
What's wrong?
We are blind to the truth of the true living God
We are blind to what the truth is via the god of this world.
Unless the glorious light of the gospel of truth shine
upon the hearts and minds of men
they will not hear or see the truth of the One True Living God.
John 14:6 Jesus saith unto him,
I am the way, the truth, and the life:
no man cometh unto the Father, but by me.
Adding all that stuff you cant let go of ....
life itself is like an addiction one massive global earthly addiction
that we feel a part of ... we cant let go
who could imagine changing it .......SAY HOW?
SAY I CANT DO IT! ITS TOO GREAT FOR ME!
SAY ITS BIGGER THAN I AM!
YOU DON’T DO IT..... YOU COULD NOT DO IT IN A MILLION LIFE TIMES ...
ITS NOT ABOUT YOU DOING ANYTHING.. HELLO...
)))) YOU CANT DO IT..
Jesus does it all..
All you do ...
Is ..
ask.
Do you recall the story of Solomons great wisdom
in the case of two new mothers; one baby.
Determine who is; the real mother fighting over the remaining living baby
This was the case in Solomons court that put Him on the map of wise king.
Solomon said what?
And the king said, Bring me a sword.
And they brought a sword before the king.
And the king said, Divide the living child in two,
and give half to the one, and half to the other.
After these words of the king this was the response of the women:
Then spake the woman whose the living child was unto the king,
for her bowels yearned upon her son,
and she said, O my lord, give her the living child,
and in no wise slay it.
But the other said, Let it be neither mine nor thine, but divide it.
Then the king answered and said,
Give her the living child, and in no wise slay it:
she is the mother thereof. And all Israel heard of the judgment
which the king had judged; and they feared the king: for they saw
that the wisdom of God was in him,
to do judgment.
[you can read the story in 1 Kings 3 16-28]
I think there is more to that story for you and I today
and its about two adversaries two powers of this
world.... light and darkness.... good verses evil .. life and death...
Jesus and satan... Two powers at work in the world each wanting
our eternal souls.Sinful men are as harlots
heaping gods of this world upon themselves...each
demanding they have the truth and know the way.
-Jesus came as a babe to earth-In great travail birth pangs of the
earth Satan is to emerge into this world-the antichrist of
Revelation is about to be revealed to men on earth.
Some assimilation here is to see an embodiment of the many
gods of this world and an embodiment of the Father Son and Holy Ghost
Now see all gods are welcome but one...
if that one God is not welcome in the whole wide
world... big or small as you see the world...if the one
God is not welcome..
can you see?
Can you see to find your way Home?
1 Corinthians 8:5 For though there be that are called gods,
whether in heaven or in earth, (as there be gods many, and lords many,)
*2 Corinthians 4:4 In whom the god of this world hath blinded
the minds of them which believe not, lest the light of the glorious gospel
of Christ, who is the image of God, should shine unto them.
The world is blind,
the enemy of Christ serves to keep men in darkness;
he works very hard and effectively 24/7 non stop...
therefore hell has enlarged herself to swallow greater numbers of men
as they prefer the broader more frequently traveled roads.
Isaiah 5:14Therefore 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.
If you desire to take a moment and see the works of the adversary are everywhere... each of us wakes to a new day and is instantaneously greeted with the veil of darkness called joyful light, happiness, peace and love... Well upon closer inspection we will see death, destruction, lies, hatred, usury, mocking and scoffing of one God ... the God of truth ... Jesus*.
Exodus 20:3 Thou shalt have no other gods before me.
You and I can not be a god ...of our own life... nor choose another god over the one true Living God.
To know what and who you worship is to investigate your own heart... for out of the fulness of the heart the mouth speaks.
-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.
Jeremiah 9:8 Their tongue is as an arrow shot out; it speaketh deceit: one speaketh peaceably to his neighbor with his mouth, but in heart he layeth his wait.
What comes out of our mouths is the overflow of the fullness of what is first rooted in our hearts
-when we speak our hearts are revealed..
is it any wonder the wicked cloaked in sheep suits are often shifty eyed, tongue bitters, careful over every word... even sworn to silence lest they be revealed for who and what they are?
Wait on Jesus.
For there is nothing hid, which shall not be manifested; neither was any thing kept secret, but that it should come abroad. [Mark 4:22]
UNSAVED the gods are plentiful ...
[Exodus 32:4]And he received them at their hand, and fashioned it with a graving tool, after he had made it a [idol] molten calf: and they said, These be thy gods, O Israel, which brought thee up out of the land of Egypt.
.[Exodus 32:8]They have turned aside quickly out of the way which I commanded them: they have made them a [idol] molten calf, and have worshiped it, and have sacrificed thereunto, and said, These be thy gods, O Israel, which have brought thee up out of the land of Egypt
Beware we can make anything a god..
WE NEED CHECK OURSELVES:
[You will Know what you need to cast out in Jesus* name.]
- What do you primarily talk about through out the day?
- What do you hunger to do?
- Where do you want to be?
- Where does your time go?
Get a paper and pencil and make a list of your hearts desires ..
-short term and long term goals, -hopes and dreams ...- likes and -dislikes... and see what or who is god to you. Then you can see via the fulness of your own heart coming out on the paper...
You will know if there is no room inn your heart for Jesus*
...if that is true ... you are in grave danger..
God does give us the desires of our hearts... if we do not want Him..He will honor our desires [eternally.
You and I can not be a god ...of our own life... nor choose another god over the one true Living God.
To know what and who you worship is to investigate your own heart... for out of the fulness of the heart the mouth speaks.

You and I cant really live a life for Jesus Christ if we are unsaved
or if we claim we are saved via the mental ascent.
What is a mental ascent to Jesus Soul Salvation?
Its when the mind got it but the heart is absent.
We need a right sincere heart to be saved.
Say How?
First realize what sin is
look at the Ten Commandments again to know..
then realize we are all sinners.... say me too..[admit].
then through faith believing Jesus died for the sins of the world
for whosoever believes in Him and confesses of their sins to Jesus*
- ask Him to come into their heart .... as Lord and Savior ...
thank Jesus for saving them through faith believing
hence they’ve been truly saved..
So Be It they are then Saved... Hallelujah!!!
Understand its all in the heart... when a heart is sincere Jesus knows and men are saved. Glory to Jesus Saving Grace.
If we deny Jesus*
claiming he did not exist or did not die for us
or that he was a fraud a fake a suicidal lunatic
if we walk away from all His word from all His teachings all He didall He sacrificed in agony and great suffering as He gave all in dying for us..If we ignore all ...claiming its all false as we turn our backs and walk away SADLY ONE DAY...WE WILL NOT HAVE ANOTHER CHANCE TO COME TO HIM
one day... the door to turn back and consider Him.
and to come to Him will be closed... shut for eternity
whosoever hears those two little words put together
when they are grieving in hell for one more chance,
one more moment back on earth so they could call
upon the Lord asking Jesus Forgive me
sorrowful hour of ones wake up inn the pit
of eternal abandonment from the love
peace and happiness of Jesus* saving grace.
Think of it ... the act of soul salvation takes a moment.... verses eternity in hell. Compare a moment to eternity.
Would you want to spend eternity thinking of you missed your
moments to make provision for your poor soul?
*Colossians 1; 12-23 Giving thanks unto the Father, which hath made us meet to be partakers of the inheritance of the saints in light: [Saved] Who hath delivered us from the power of darkness, and hath translated us into the kingdom of his dear Son: In whom we have redemption through his blood, even the forgiveness of sins: Who is the image of the invisible God, the firstborn of every creature: For by him were all things created, that are in heaven, and that are in earth, visible and invisible, whether they be thrones, or dominions, or principalities, or powers: all things were created by him, and for him: And he is before all things, and by him all things consist. And he is the head of the body, the church: who is the beginning, the firstborn from the dead; that in all things he might have the preeminence. aqaza. For it pleased the Father that in him should all fulness dwell; And, having made peace through the blood of his cross, by him to reconcile all things unto himself; by him, I say, whether they be things in earth, or things in heaven. And you, that were sometime alienated and enemies in your mind by wicked works, yet now hath he reconciled In the body of his flesh through death, to present you holy and un- blameable in his sight: If ye continue in the faith grounded and settled, and be not moved away from the hope of the gospel, which ye have heard, and which was preached to every creature which is under heaven;What's it like to live the life of a Christian... for real?
Prayerfully you get that over abundance of the Holy Spirit upon Soul Salvation.
Personally I was filled to overflowing when I was saved.
Any one that knew me at that time... can testify
to my uncontainable zeal for the Lord Jesus*
I was overjoyed, transformed, I knew, that I knew,
that I knew, I was a new creature in Jesus* Christ
HALLELUJAH !!!
No doubt about it I was slam banged with the Holy Spirit...
I saw the Holy Spirit as a white cloud hovering over the
congregation as a smoky- misty- white cloud... The Holy Ghost
presence of newness of life is non- descriptive...
He is light in more ways than one- I felt like I could fly.
born again .. I was new and I knew it.wearing a new
smile on my face for months afterwards..
safe to surmise I floated around in that newness of life in my born again spirit of Jesus glorious saving grace for about three months...
For sure Next I wanted to share this new life I found... I wanted everyone to have Jesus*... All my friends))))) check it out, lets all do this now...Come on your gonna love it... It’s the best thing you will ever do, come on get saved...
_______Um that doesn’t work that way.... GET OUT OF HERE CHRISTIAN is more like what happens when you get Saved For Real..
Once saved: If the world hate you, ye know that it hated me before it hated you. [John 15:18]Likewise we who follow Him
need to expect to not be received by the world just as Jesus*
whom went before us .... was not received.
That is kinda hard and sad ... because a part of you is dying
while a part of you is bursting with new life and joy...
and guess? what ... you wouldn’t trade Jesus* for the world
so you let your old friends go
and you keep this beautiful pearl of great price that you found...
Ok what if you don’t feel all that bubbly stuff inside upon soul salvation?
We are all unique in the Lord Jesus*
If you didn’t shed a tear, if you had no joy- no peace- felt nothing
yet you gave your sincere heart to Jesus...
asking forgiveness inviting Him in as Savior
and your claiming your saved but felt nothing..
Be concerned.. I would be concerned of the mental ascent
where the mind was willing but the heart is not right.
Isaiah 29:13 Wherefore the Lord said, Forasmuch as this people draw near me with their mouth, and with their lips do honour me, but have removed their heart far from me, and their fear toward me is taught by the precept of men:
There has to be some change .... some change
some newness of life or your not saved.
I ask; DO YOU IMAGINE YOU COULD MISS
THE ACTION OF THE THE TRANSITION OF THE HOLY SPIRIT
MOVING INTO YOUR VESSEL TRANSFORMING YOU FROM
A VESSEL OF DARKNESS TO A VESSEL OF LIGHT ...
BEING TRANSFORMED INTO THE TEMPLE OF THE TRUE LIVING GOD..
DO YOU THINK YOU COULD MISS THAT?
What? know ye not that your body is the temple of the Holy Ghost which is in you, which ye have of God, and ye are not your own?And grieve not the holy Spirit of God, whereby ye are sealed unto the day of redemption.
[1 Corinthians 6:19...Ephesians 4:30]
I'm sorry .....I don’t believe you can MISS THAT.
I believe... You must feel something
FAITH BELIEVING MUST PRODUCE SOME CHANGE ...some newness..
All right.. lets say you felt nothing at all
but by faith your believing you are saved...
the Holy Spirit then within your vessel will begin
a new work in you and the inward man will emanate
outward that others around you and including you
will know your different ...your not the same ...
will know that you are saved... If not then beware..
--You may want to... sincerely come to Jesus
this time with your heart and not your mind.
Romans 10:9 That if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in thine heart that God hath raised him from the dead,..... thou shalt be saved.
Please allow me to expound upon the Mental Ascent
im concerned many people are walking in it.
MENTAL ASCENT OF SALVATION?
realize the mental ascent is all in your mind...
your heart is not involved...
Meaning .. you will be in the process of brainwashing yourself
into the kingdom of God.... please understand the warning here!!!
This is how you act when in the process of brainwashing yourself into believing you are saved ...
WATCH THOSE THAT PROCLAIM SALVATION AND COPY THEM..
-GO TO CHURCH, READ THE BIBLE, GET CHRISTIAN FLARE,
-SURROUND YOURSELF WITH CHRISTIAN POSTERS,
PICTURES, BOOKS, MOVIES, TAPES AND CDS
-GOOD NOW YOUR ALL SET... YOU LOOK LIKE A CHRISTIAN...
-NEXT .. REMIND YOURSELF as to what YOU NEED TO DO,
THINK AND SAY-BE ON GUARD WHEN RESPONDING TO OTHERS
- MAKE A LIST OF THINGS A CHRISTIAN SHOULD DO...
-MAKE THAT LIST A HABIT IN YOUR LIFE..
-START A PRAYER GROUP, INVITE OTHERS TO GO TO CHURCH,
-TELL OTHERS HOW THEY NEED TO GET SAVED.
-DO GOOD WORKS -MAKE A LIST OF THINGS THAT WILL HELP
OTHERS AND DO THEM...-BEFORE YOU KNOW IT
YOUR WELL ON YOUR WAY TO BELIEVING YOU TRULY ARE SAVED
-AND WILL GENUINELY MISS YOUR CHANCE TO REPENT AND COME TO JESUS SAVING GRACE....
---YOU WILL AWAKEN IN HELL ONE DAY TOO LATE TOO LATE. HOW SAD IS THAT...
-WAKE UP NOW AND SEE. before its too late.
a real Christian does not need to be reminded to remember
to do ANYTHING LISTED ABOVE
the truly saved have the Holy Spirit imputed to them via soul salvation
the Holy Spirit is then working His way outward
Salvation is not by works lest any man should boast.
Yet after we are saved the Holy Spirit goes right to work.
Its Him the Holy Spirit on the inside that does what He does...
.
.
He is always working to bring the people into the fold of God
and to proclaim the Saving grace of Jesus* Christ
and giving honor and Glory to the Father, Jesus* the Son and
Holy Spirit the Three in one true Living God and upholding the
sound doctrine of the word of God. He is always working to defeat
the adversary of Jesus*and to teach us, aid us and grow us up in
Jesus* name sake...He Is a powerful force within the saved that
can not nor will not be denied. For real.
Thank you Jesus* Hallelujah!
When we are saved for certain its not
us its not about anything we did ...
IT IS IMPOSSIBLE FOR US
TO CREATE FROM THE INSIDE OUT
WHAT THE HOLY SPIRIT HIMSELF HAS DONE...
ITS ALL ABOUT JESUS*... HE DOES IT
... that's why we can not get clean before
we come to Jesus* its impossible ...
Jesus bids us to come as we are dirty, grimy, filthy...
Jesus bids us come as you are and I will cleanse you with my precious holy shed blood...
Jesus bids us I will wash you in the washing of the water of the word and you will be made whole .. . in Jesus* the Lamb of God...
JESUS* ALONE SENDS IN THE HOLY SPIRIT
JESUS* WILL USE US HOW... HE SO DETERMINES
JESUS* WILL MOLD US AND MAKE US AND HAVE... HIS OWN WAY
JESUS* CAN NOT... WILL NOT BE STOPPED
JESUS* WILL FINISH THE GOOD WORK... HE STARTED IN US
JESUS* IS THE AUTHOR AND ...FINISHER OF OUR FAITH
GOOD WORKS TO HEAVEN is a bad sad thing...
when nice people end up in hell.
Nice sweet lovable people... they'd give you time and
any sort of help you may require... including, food,
clothes, tools. shelter, advice. money.
They are at the top of the list of sweet and helpful ...
to amazingly out of their way for you they are totally off the charts
concerning great givers ...
Consider hands that prepared fresh cut flowers,
fresh baked bread and a freshly made bed every day of their lives
for others always presenting the best care, gentleness and kindness...
Consider the volunteer of the year awarded to the most seemingly flawless,
highly moral individual, a law biding citizen, a good faithful spouse,
a respected loving parent to no end, a wonderful neighbor, friend,relative
and or associate... these outstanding people are plenteous and bountiful on
earth and in the end of their lives they aid in overflowing the pits hell
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.
[Isaiah 5:14]
Shocking isn't it.... to realize that dear sweet old lady..
.. knitting booties for babies will burn in hell too....
all our righteousnesses are as filthy rags;
Proverbs 21:2 Every way of a man is right in his own eyes:
but the LORD pondereth the hearts.
[Every man in his own heart thinks he is good ]
Proverbs 16: 2 All a man's ways seem innocent to him,
but motives are weighed by the LORD.
All who think they can by- pass Jesus*
and get to the Kingdom of God via their own steam
and good works fools themselves.. It cant be done...
no other roads.. no other gods .. no other way
no man gets to the Father but through the Son.
Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, the truth, and the life:
no man cometh unto the Father, but by me.[John 14:6]
OUR GOOD WORKS ARE AS FILTHY RAGS UNTO THE LORD.
[Isaiah 64:6]
If you and I could do good works to get to heaven then
Jesus* should not have died on the cross.
-Jesus did not die in vain
-SOMEONE IS WRONG.... AND ITS NOT GOD
-IF IM SPEAKING TO YOU
-PLEASE TAKE THIS TO HEART
-WAKE UP AND REPENT
-BEFORE ITS TOO LATE.
Only true...Christians can backslide
and make gods before our true living God
... we need to check our hearts and repent...
asking Jesus*
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.
Repent asking forgiveness... and I say
Only true...Christians can backslide
[because you can not grieve the Holy Spirit
if He is not in you ...
How does He get inside of you..?
He enters in via Soul Salvation through Jesus Christ.
Thank you Jesus*
What is it like being a Christian?
For followers of Jesus will walk in the same manner Jesus did...
Jesus was not received nor we that love and follow Him.
We suffer for Jesus name sake.
and are tried tested through perilous storms of life.
We are broken of our own free will
and the old man is put to death daily...
as we strive to be the new man in Jesus*
growing in the Holy Spirit in the newness of life
striving to gain the gifts of the Holy Spirit...
striving to hear from God.. to hear from the Holy Spirit of God
that we may better serve Jesus Christ our Lord and Savior.
Ever coming to grips with the temporary state of this world
and all that is in it... knowing above all this earthly life is a testing ground
....testing our faith in Jesus and trying us for more...
learning always and pressing us to love the unlovable,
to forgive the unforgivable, to turn away from temptation and uphold the Lord
and His righteousness to offer salvation to others as we have
lovingly freely received of Jesus.
Ever learning to deny self to be more of a living sacrifice unto Jesus...
that the Holy Spirit is permitted more of a control of what we will
do , say and go... and in this manner the work of God is more effectively
accomplished through our vessel ...that the Lord Jesus be pleased with us
for our continuing to carry on-
ward the beacon of light of the word of God in this dark world.
Jesus* paid the cost for all of us.. Hallelujah.
From milk to meat we grow in Jesus*
in the word we are to study that we come to know sound doctrine
so when the false doctrine is presented we can back away from a
snare and or offer truth when able.
We will not know everything in a day or a lifetime...
it’s the Holy Spirit in us, that teaches us, leads us, guides us,
into the truth of the word of God.
Each mans walk in the Lord Jesus
is different and distinctly unique... no two alike..
God has a plan for our lives in Him ...
its that to God be the Glory for the great and terrible things
He has done.Its always about Almighty God being glorified...
Praise* the Father, Son and Holy Spirit.
We must learn Jesus loves us
we are His little children, we are His sons his servants...
we will rule and reign with Him.
We are His church and His Bride.
We are betrothed to Jesus*
upon soul salvation and like any marriage we are to be faithful
to one Husband. One God that loves us ...what does our Groom expect of us,
how can we better serve and please Him,to know Him and His will... to Know His word
is to love Him ... to want to know more of Him is to want to know the Holy Spirit indwelling
via soul salvation. The Holy Spirit is a very important part of our soul salvation...
the word tells us to seek the greater gifts of the spirit.
1 Corinthians 12 :1- 31But covet earnestly the best gifts:
and yet shew I unto you a more excellent way.
1Now concerning spiritual gifts, brethren, I would not have you ignorant. 2Ye know that ye were Gentiles, carried away unto these dumb idols, even as ye were led. 3Wherefore I give you to understand, that no man speaking by the Spirit of God calleth Jesus accursed: and that no man can say that Jesus is the Lord, but by the Holy Ghost. 4Now there are diversities of gifts, but the same Spirit. 5And there are differences of administrations, but the same Lord. 6And there are diversities of operations, but it is the same God which worketh all in all. 7But the manifestation of the Spirit is given to every man to profit withal. 8For to one is given by the Spirit the word of wisdom; to another the word of knowledge by the same Spirit; 9To another faith by the same Spirit; to another the gifts of healing by the same Spirit; 10To another the working of miracles; to another prophecy; to another discerning of spirits; to another divers kinds of tongues; to another the interpretation of tongues: 11But all these worketh that one and the selfsame Spirit, dividing to every man severally as he will. 12For as the body is one, and hath many members, and all the members of that one body, being many, are one body: so also is Christ. 13For by one Spirit are we all baptized into one body, whether we be Jews or Gentiles, whether we be bond or free; and have been all made to drink into one Spirit. 4For the body is not one member, but many. 15If the foot shall say, Because I am not the hand, I am not of the body; is it therefore not of the body? 16And if the ear shall say, Because I am not the eye, I am not of the body; is it therefore not of the body? 17If the whole body were an eye, where were the hearing? If the whole were hearing, where were the smelling? 18But now hath God set the members every one of them in the body, as it hath pleased him. 19And if they were all one member, where were the body? 20But now are they many members, yet but one body. 21And the eye cannot say unto the hand, I have no need of thee: nor again the head to the feet, I have no need of you. 22Nay, much more those members of the body, which seem to be more feeble, are necessary: 23And those members of the body, which we think to be less honourable, upon these we bestow more abundant honour; and our uncomely parts have more abundant comeliness. 24For our comely parts have no need: but God hath tempered the body together, having given more abundant honour to that part which lacked: 25That there should be no schism in the body; but that the members should have the same care one for another. 26And whether one member suffer, all the members suffer with it; or one member be honoured, all the members rejoice with it. 27Now ye are the body of Christ, and members in particular. 28And God hath set some in the church, first apostles, secondarily prophets, thirdly teachers, after that miracles, then gifts of healings, helps, governments, diversities of tongues. 29Are all apostles? are all prophets? are all teachers? are all workers of miracles? 30Have all the gifts of healing? do all speak with tongues? do all interpret? 31But covet earnestly the best gifts: and yet shew I unto you a more excellent way.
Realize the Holy Spirit is the way and means to the greater gifts...we need to press into
Him through Jesus Christ to obtain the greater gifts...How clear can it be... ?
Go to your online Bible type in keyword search Holy Spirit
or Spirit of the Lord or Holy Ghost then realize how important He is.
HE IS THE THIRD member of the Holy Trinity.
He is not to be ignored... But revered as a member
and one that is dwelling within you via soul salvation... Praise Jesus*..
So Get to Know Him and to Know He is the power of the
True Living God..then you get to know not only whose you are,
but what you are... in Jesus* Christ.
Your choice:
Want to grow faster in Jesus?
Want spiritual gifts?
Want to know the friend that sticketh closer than a brother?
Want to hear God speaking to you?
Introduce yourself to the Holy Spirit
Saved He is in your abdominal area.. in the belly.
That’s why when fast we hear from God
stronger than we do when we have a full stomach
Our body is the temple of God
You can see it any way you want
But the word does not lie.
Proverbs 20:27 The spirit of man is the candle of the LORD, searching all the inward parts of the belly.
1 Corinthians 6:19 What? know ye not that your body is the temple of the Holy Ghost which is in you, which ye have of God, and ye are not your own?
1 Corinthians 6:19 What? know ye not that your body is the temple of the Holy Ghost which is in you, which ye have of God, and ye are not your own?
Housing the Holy Spirit is like being pregnant.
Interesting the Church is the Bride of Christ...
Jesus is the Groom the Husbandman.
The Holy Spirit within us plants more seeds
of Jesus saving grace through us through our:
voices are bodies a living sacrifice to
the work of God Ever growing in our faith walk,
to reproduce on earth increasing in saved members that walk into
green pastures filling up the sheep pens
all to the glory of Jesus* Saving Grace.
Christianity is more than going to Church on Sunday or reading the Bible...
Its knowing you are the Church and the Bible is the living word of
God it’s a powerful sword that goes to work as we stand in faith
and speak out believing so be it ...
it is done in Jesus* name Amen Hallelujah.
Thank you Jesus*
2 Corinthians 12:10 Therefore I take pleasure in infirmities,
in reproaches, in necessities, in persecutions, in distresses for
Christ's sake: for when I am weak, then am I strong.
Romans 5:3 Not only so, but we also rejoice in our sufferings,
because we know that suffering produces perseverance;
Romans 8:35 Who shall separate us from the love of Christ?
Shall trouble or hardship or persecution or famine or nakedness or danger or sword?
2 Corinthians 5:15 And he died for all, that those who live should
no longer live for themselves but for him who died for them
and was raised again.
2 Timothy 3:11 persecutions, sufferings--what kinds of things happened to me in
Antioch, Iconium and Lystra, the persecutions I endured.
Yet the Lord rescued me from all of them.raised again.
2 Thessalonians 1:4 Therefore, among God's churches we boast
about your perseverance and faith in all the
persecutions and trials you are enduring.
2 Corinthians 13:9 We are glad whenever
we are weak but you are strong;
and our prayer is for your perfection.
We will suffer and out of our weakness we will grow again...
We are continually being changed remolded,
put through fire tried through peril and storms and
persecutions of all sorts... it part of His plan for us ...
as we grow up in Jesus we the saved know we are
not the same babes on milk we once were from the
early time of our soul salvation in Jesus Christ.
But we are indeed growing up and we know it...
We also realize via our backslide into sin and falling away
from the truth how much God is alive and is angered
with His children and is in the business of child rearing
and correcting punishing scolding turning His back on
us for a time and then forgiving us as we beg for mercy
and forgiveness of Him.. He loves us...
He is growing His children up as a loving parent would look
after their children wanting the best for them and always looking
to strive to teach them and keep them on the right path....
The outsiders looking in on a truly saved Christian
watching them in their ups and downs
tracking their short comings in the Lord Jesus Christ
They cant understand the relationship a child of God
has with the Holy Spirit, with Jesus Christ, with the
heavenly Abba Father... sadly they cant know...
Saved Gods children grow one day at a time
Christians are pilgrims growing up in the Lord.
They are Gods business they may be on their knees repenting
and have moved onward while ten or more years later
outsiders are still chewing the fat of their past sins...
Sins that God has long time ago forgiven them and that
they are indeed moving onward and growing in richly
n their spiritual walk in Jesus .. Hallelujah!
When its all said and done...
in the end of the race to the finish
Gods children will enter into the Kingdom of God
through the shed blood of Jesus* and reap their rewards
or their faith walk on earth and the outsiders that stood
for themselves and the world will reap their just rewards.
Outsiders please understand growing up in Jesus* is a process...
its personal to each one of Gods children and if you were in the family of God
you would understand that from the moment of your salvation
in Jesus* Christ.... you yourself will not instantaneously
be Jesus* Christ...
...in fact you will never ever for all eternity be Jesus*
but you and the children of God will for eternity
be ever growing to be more like Jesus*
its and eternal quest to be more like Him.
Hallelujah!
The door is Jesus...
knock and it shall be opened unto you.
Soul Salvation if waiting inside for you.
And the Spirit and the bride say, Come.
And let him that heareth say,
Come. And let him that is athirst come.
And whosoever will,
let him take the water of life freely.
The grace of our Lord Jesus* Christ be with you all.
Amen.
Even so, come, Lord Jesus*. Amen
Recently a woman was upset at this comment:
.....Housing the Holy Spirit is like being pregnant....
There was a time in my walk of faith that
I too would have thought how wrong or sick is that statement...
what kind of people are say things like that?
All I can tell any of you [that are like me ] who are still growing
one day at a time in Jesus*
from milk to meat and into the deeper spiritual things of God...
All I can tell you is it happens...
one day .....you...
....you... that person that houses the Holy Spirit
You will feel Him within your being...
and you will know... that you know... that you know....
you are indeed the Holy Temple... of God.
The Spirit of God in our belly ... is not ugly.
How could this new life be ugly?
Luke 17:21 Neither shall they say, Lo here! or,
lo there! for, behold, the kingdom of God is within you.!!!
Proverbs 20:27 The spirit of man is the candle of the LORD,
searching all the inward parts of the belly.
If you know the Spirit of God you embrace Him and hunger to be
free from this tent we are in...from this body you want to go to your
rightful home in Heaven... The world is not our Home.
The Holy Spirit within us groans to go Home ...
because we born again; no longer belong here and we know it.
He groans from within over deeper spiritual things...
He groans from within over deeper things than man sees
in his natural eyes on earth.
That knowledge is in us...
that spirit is in us...of His kingdom
is not of this world
Hence we no longer fit in.
John 18:36 Jesus said, "My kingdom is not of this world.
If it were, my servants would fight to prevent my arrest by the Jews.
But now my kingdom is from another place."
Clearly this is a question mark’?
Jesus said the kingdom of God is within you...
in our beings and then He said it from another place...
Doesn’t Jesus well with His father whom art in Heaven...
in the Kingdom of Heaven?
...so how then is His kingdom here and there...
how is it here in us via salvation and in heaven at the same time?
ONE WORD; SPIRITUAL.
Recall Jesus said
John 3:3 In reply Jesus declared,
"I tell you the truth, no one can see the kingdom
of God unless he is born again."
John 3:4 Nicodemus saith unto him,
How can a man be born when he is old?
can he enter the second time into his mother's womb, and be born?
John 3:5 Jesus answered,
"I tell you the truth, no one can enter the kingdom of God
unless he is born of water and the Spirit.
with the washing of water by the word,
Romans 8:23 And not only they, but ourselves also,
which have the first fruits of the Spirit,
even we ourselves groan within ourselves,
waiting for the adoption, to wit, the redemption of our body.
THE SPIRIT GROANS TO GO HOME.
1 Corinthians 6:19 What? know ye not that your body is the temple of the Holy Ghost
which is in you, which ye have of God, and ye are not your own?
1 Corinthians 3:3 For ye are yet carnal:
for whereas there is among you envying,
and strife, and divisions,
are ye not carnal, and walk as men?
Recall when Jesus said
eat my flesh...[John 6:54]
it didn't go over to well either...
Again I got one word: SPIRITUAL.
...comparing spiritual things to spiritual things with new eyes... new ears
Jesus* Blessings to you as you grow in your walk of faith in Him.
