The Perfect Work - Part #3

We thank Jesus for Revelation and Wisdom to be led by the Spirit of God in our daily relationships with people.

Scripture references: James 2:1-12, Deuteronomy 10:17

We are to Honor the people, those created by HIM! We are to hold them, in high regard...WHY? Because God created them and Values them, all of us! This includes Christians and those to be born again! The Father demonstrates His great value to all mankind in that he sacrifice His son for our very lives! Who are you to demean, devalue or dishonor God's created ones? Jesus died for them too!

With this mindset, we are to honor those, created by God, fairly! We are not to practice favoritism based on earthy hierarchies, possession, power, or positions! Our value of others should always be founded on the value of God towards them, and He treasures them whether you do or not!

Trust God to connect you, prosper you, increase you, and satisfy your every need, not man. He may use your brothers or sisters in the blessing of you, but the source IS and will always be Our Father!

Treat all people with honor and respect, kindness and agape love, as an obedient priests and kings of the Lord Jesus in the earth. Do not devalue another because of world perceptions of status to satisfy the selfishness of your flesh. Treat people as led by the Holy Spirit demonstrating the Good and Acceptable Will of the Father and the Faith of your confession!

God is not a respecter of persons, but He FAVORS His creation... people. Let's be like Him, it is called Agape. After it is all said and done by Him, the thing that will remain is Him, and He is LOVE!

Rethink your Relationships and Interactions with others, are they of the God kind?

1 John 4:16 And so we know and rely on the love God has for us. God is love. Whoever lives in love lives in God, and God in them..

Great Blessing,

RETHINK YOUR TRIALS!

James, the leader of the dispersed people of God, now foreigners in foreign lands, gives the Great Godly Wisdom to Count the current conflicts in their lives as JOY!

JOY!? In times of financial, personal, situational, and circumstantial difficulty…I am to count MY TRIALS, to THINK of THEM as a gladness, a benefit, or even a profit in my life? What would even motivate me to purposely THINK, COUNT, or CONSIDER…my struggles as….. JOY?

 The only reference we have as Born Again Christians is the example of our Lord, Jesus Christ. Jesus not only reveals the Father’s will through the Mighty Word of the Holy Scriptures, but He also demonstrates The Word, in earth as a HUMAN! If we are being conformed into His image, His Footsteps are our Stepping Stones!

How did Jesus come into the trial of dying a horrendous death for the beloved of God and have JOY? His motivation; His passion, His inner zeal, and His humility are to……Please God, who is Our Father!

Looking unto Jesus the author and finisher of our faith; who for the joy that was set before him endured the cross, despising the shame, and is set down at the right hand of the throne of God. Hebrews 12:2

The JOY of Christ was rooted and established in God the Creator, Himself NOT “a feeling” or “outside influence”! The JOY of Christ was rooted in the Father’s predestined willingness to fulfill His own great pleasure and the power of His all-knowing, divine nature to use even the battles of our lives to complete what He started!

The trials in the Father’s Hands may be uncomfortable or even an unyoking place, however as a Born Again Believers in Jesus Christ….”Have you considered by Servant Job?” takes on a whole new meaning!

RETHINK your trials…. Past, present, & the ones to come! As God’s children, His sons and daughters, He is with us and He does not change His mind! It’s in our dirty places whether allowed or orchestrated, that God is doing a MIGHTY WORK IN US…

It’s Called the Perfect Work!

JAMES 1:4 BUT LET PATIENCE HAVE ITS PERFECT WORK, THAT YOU MAY BE PERFECT AND COMPLETE, LACKING NOTHING.

GREAT DAY SAINTS! DAY 2 OF BUILDING OUR BROTHERS AND SISTERS UP!

Today be strengthening in the Love of God and come out of:

• Fear, doubt, and unworthiness

Father, I confess I see myself as the one who You knew before the union of my father and mother! Because You are perfect, I remember today that I am perfectly created, formed, and made in Jesus Christ! I am worthy not because I “feel” worthy by my accomplishments or the “validation” of others, But I am Worthy because of the LOVE, PEACE, and JOY you gifted to me out of your own mercy for my life! You demonstrated my worth the day you drew me to know my Lord and King, Jesus! Your love casts out all fear of the known and unknown that may follow or affect me and I am grateful for your faithfulness that goes before me. I confess I adore You, for the protection and grace that carries me to the expected of Your will, that I am a Child of God, that is my confession!

DAY #1

The Body of Christ is a spiritual house being built and established by God through the vessels of each member resting in the life of their Lord and King, Jesus Christ. We are the Father's choice instruments through the power of the Holy Spirit to bring His "house" plans to completion! Mordecai was the instrument of choice of God to SPEAK words of courage and empowerment to Esther that she remembered she was positioned in the kingdom for such a time as this! And the next move was to be obedient to God as the intercessor of His people! Mordecai spoke Power of God's faithfulness to His own, in the presence of the reality of life...and God won!

For the Next 3 days, We are building our brothers and sisters who are:

• POSITIONED AS THE CHILDREN OF GOD

• EMPOWERED TO EXECUTE THE KING OF GOD

Grab hold to these daily confessions as one who is in total agreement with God's will for your life and trusting in Him in the Grace that is sufficient in your weakness!

Day 1

Today be Confident in the Father's desire for you and come out of:

• Loneliness and stagnation

Father, I confess I have need of you, like a deer pants after water. Thank you for being The Living Water that gives me life and brings me life abundantly! I declare this day I am connected to the Vine of My Lord and I am Thankful to you that You are the One who grows and matures me in the knowledge and holiness of you! I am a Child of God, that’s my confession!

RETHINK “The Church”!

Scripture References: Ephesians 4:11-13, Romans 12:4-5, 1 Peter 2:5, 1 Corinthians 1:10, 3:9, 16-17, 1 Corinthians 12:12, 27, 2 Corinthians 6:16, Matthew 6:33, 1 Peter 2:9, Matthew 9:38)

Matthew 16:18 And I tell you that you are Peter, and on this rock I will build My church, and the gates of Hades will not prevail against it.

The Unity of Christ “calls people out” to be one of many parts of The Church of Christ. Christ has built something in His sacrifice, “MY CHURCH”! In the sacrifice of His willingness to fulfill the will of our Father to reconcile those that are lost from Him, Jesus built a family that the “gates of hell cannot prevail against it.” Jesus is the Master Builder of the ones’ the Father First Loved.

THE CHURCH, not a church is the Body of Christ! The many members of one body, whether in a local assembly, assembling in homes, gatherings in the name of Jesus, or meeting with one another IF you are born again, the temple of the Most High God, born by His Grace through the given Faith in Jesus Christ, WAIT...... I am not finished! IF you are Chosen and Elected before the foundations of the earth by God himself, first fruits of the Beloved Christ and King, Created in the Lord Jesus to be conformed to His image and likeness, one awaiting the mightly Day of The Lord, one of Those who share one Spirit, one hope, one Lord, one faith, one baptism, one God and Father of all….The Church is a people, not a building! God said, I will be your God, and you will be my people! God defined "My Church" long ago!

If you want to build the Kingdom of God, Build People and disciple them to follow Jesus! Be the labors of The Harvest, Reconcilers in the image of Jesus Christ to return His creation; His children to our Father! Everything else will be added to function and operated that brings God the Glory and Honor in the Name and Way of Jesus Christ!

Think about that for a minute…..

The word “church” in the bible means, “Called out ones”, The Ecclesia. People who are called from the transgression and darkness (sins) of life and BORN into a new Life in the Savior, Lord, and King Jesus Christ! Called as a new people, the adopted sons (male and female) of God himself in the blood, life, and power of Jesus Christ. Jesus Christ is the Head, the brain, the mind, the thoughts, thinking, actions, and ways of the “harmony” of each part of HIS BODY that each in their differences, supplies, and benefits the entire BODY! You mean something to Christ and everyone you are connected to! The adversary wants you to believe YOU don’t matter to God, Christ, or the ones in your lives…but you do!

You were formed in your mother’s womb as the plan and purpose in the Mind of God to be a blessing to those whom He made your family in Jesus Christ. And others were created to be your blessing to grow and mature you in the image and likeness of Christ. The Church is built of ones connected with those who share in the Spirit of God, otherwise, you are just a temple in danger of being torn down!

It’s Time to RETHINK The Church! Jesus built “MY CHURCH” and it is held together by HIM, in Us…. by His Spirit. We are connected!

RETHINK the created Body of Christ…. in Jesus’ Church, it is called “MY Church!”

RETHINK “CHRIST”!

Scripture references: Genesis 2:18, James 4:1, Luke 4:1-13, Eph 2:18

“And the LORD God said, It is not good that the man should be alone; I will make him an help meet for him. Genesis 2:18

In the miraculous making of “man”, God determined that Man needed MANKIND! The Creator determined on the front end of humankind that one should not be ALONE!

Think about that for a minute…..

God decided that the “Good” of Man required a sharing, giving, and living with another one! This picture of so many intricacies of the making of humankind, including but surely not limited to, the order of God, husband and wife dynamics, and the operation of human relationships; is the simple yet profound GOD INTENDED purpose in mankind that people are to function, operation and exist TOGETHER!

Isolation is NOT the intent of God for US to exist in the earth. God intended for us to share in the ONENESS of HIM in relationship with each other! The very inconsistencies of people and our ways that divide us are the very places God created Us to exist together as His people! Why are we divided in our families, friendships, culture,s, and ethnic backgrounds? Why are we at WAR with each other on subjects and situations of life? Why do we hold grudges for failures of loyalty and love in each other lives?

As Apostle James tells us in the Word of God, “Do they not come from your desires for pleasure that war in YOUR members?" In other words, what you want and desire is not being met or benefited by…the other one. Yes, PRIDE is the guilty thing, and that “thing” is in you! The Pride of Life, just as the lust of the flesh and the lust of the eye will hinder the “Good” of you and the relationships with others.

Although these things show up differently and in many different forms in our lives, they are still what they are; the “tools” of ‘temptation” to pull you away from God’s Intent!

So the very thing, “people” that we must contend with are the very ones we are created to be “Good” with! The Question to ask ourselves is…. do we need to be DELIVERED(removed) from one another or DISCIPLINED (the practice) to love one another according to God’s Intent?

The answer will blow your mind because to be disciplined(the practice) to love others, even those who mean you harm, you must know what Godly love is and be discipled (trained and accept) by the Way of Jesus Christ!

To really talk about the Unity of Christ, We must first understand WE, as the people of God are UNIFIED BY Him first! Jesus is who and what makes the Body of Christ one, not your own way! Differences and Disagreements do not mean Division in the Body of Christ! We need to be Discipled to love and Disciplined in our interactions and relationships with each other.

RETHINK Christ-Like Unity with others, it's not personal, it's who you are, and those who are Born Again!

Ephesians 2:4 For Christ himself has brought peace to us. He united Jews and Gentiles into one people when, in his own body on the cross, he broke down the wall of hostility that separated us.

RETHINK “THE DAY OF THE LORD”!

Scripture reference: Romans 12:1-2

Renewing our Minds is a daily Necessity of the Christian life! Your knowledge, Your Reactions, Your Response, Your processes, and what You produce must be transformed over Your lifetime into the Person; His likeness, and the Image of Jesus Christ!

God knew we don’t KNOW what He knows or thinks! And what He knows is beyond our understanding! God knew we would need the Mind of Christ to know Him! (Is 55:8, Job 36:26, 1Cor 2:11, 16, Romans 11:34, Galatians 5:17) It is in the new birth as Born Again that Christ has given us His Mind that the Spirit of Truth reveals to us concerning What the Father says, that we live as we are created, like Christ!

Renewing our Minds in the Knowledge of God is the only way to Grow UP! You must eat and drink what your spirit needs to mature so that your very words and ways resemble your Father, The One in Heaven! Renewing your mind is one of many ways to SEEK God! In the life of Jesus Christ, as one of many members of the Body of Christ, You have access to the Father’s presence without shame or hindrance. (Romans 12:4-5)

Why? In the Body of Christ, peace abounds between you and God, and you as one of “adoption” have a birthright to be in His bosom and before Him! Think about That! You, in The Body of Christ, are a privileged child of the Most High God! All principalities and powers know you are a Child of God in Jesus and they know who your Daddy is! (Galatians 3:26, Galatians 4:6, Ephesians 1:5, John 1:18, Romans 6:4)

The Father chose you before the foundations of even your very creation in earth. He chose you to live as His child in His only Son. So sent His Son to die and give you “knowledge” of Him as your Father. Jesus came willingly in the assignment of Our Father to love us unconditionally from where we were and what we are doing and extended us life and life abundantly, which is eternal life beyond this flesh body! In His own sacrifice and suffering, Jesus created you a “new creation” that the Spirit of God, the Holy Spirit COULD dwell with you! Jesus made you a house for The Father to rest on the earth because He paid for the very thing that separated The Father from His creation…sin! Now the Holy Spirit, who “rides” with you daily and has sealed you, has the plans of God for You! Not by your power, effort, or strength but by His Spirit what God Said concerning your life and your life in the earth shall come to pass, because He is God, He is Love! Salvation in Jesus Christ sustained God by sustaining you! (Is 53, Is 59:16)

Jesus is coming back, to receive those that know Him AND escort them as His Body to live eternally with the One who created you; Our Father who Art in Heaven! It's called the DAY OF THE LORD! This Day, Christ will descend from the clouds and receive THEM who are born again to Himself!

Yep!!! I said it, Jesus is coming BACK and He is coming for those Saved in Blood and Kept by His Name!

RENEW YOUR MIND TODAY, REFRESH YOUR MIND TODAY, REMIND YOURSELF TODAY…THERE IS A DESTINATION TO THIS LIFE….it is the ETERNAL LIFE! Being with the Creator and Father of all, as His Family! Not in the present place but in the New Heaven and New Earth! (Revelation 21)

Matthew 24:42 “Therefore be on the alert, for you do not know which day your Lord is coming.

THE GODLY LIFE, IT’S GIVEN NOT EARNED!

The Godly Life is simply the life in that one who is born differently and one who lives differently! (2 Corinthians 5:17, Romans 1:17, 1 Peter 1:9) The “difference” is of and by God, the Creator and Father of all. God did a NEW THING that was Jesus Christ! (Is 43:19)

Born Again Christians are not “mere humans” we are of God in the sacrifice, life, and resurrection of Jesus Christ! We are the “adopted”, We are the “sons”, “holy nation” of God. (Galatians 3:26, Eph 3:20, 1Peter 2:9) )

If you are BORN DIFFERENT, YOU ARE DIFFERENT, AND AS YOU ARE DIFFERENT….YOU LIVE DIFFERENTLY!

The Godly Life is not a quick fix for your current situations and circumstances. The Godly Life is the existence you have on the earth as the possession of God in Jesus Christ to overcome and prevail in everyday experiences, whether the valleys or mountain top triumphs. Yes, Born Again Believers experience hardships, pain, disappointment, and even death as one who carries the vessel of humanity!

But there is more of you than what you see in the mirror, THE GREATER of you WITHIN! God has given you life and everything you need to live HIS KIND OF LIFE, it’s called….GODLINESS! There’s the difference…GOD! IT is on the road of Faith that your life is forever revealing the “seed” of HIM in the earth THROUGH YOU!

The Father has sent His Son that His “sons” be CREATED, ESTABLISHED, MAINTAINED, MATURED, SUSTAINED, CARRIED, EMPOWERED, AND FULFILLED THAT THE GOD OF HIM PERMEATE THE EARTH AS IT IS IN HEAVEN! WHY???? That all know and come to adore and honor the Great I AM and those that are drawn will obtain “like precious faith” for the harvest that the angels in heaven are anticipating! (John 4:35)

The Godly Life is a gift from The Father of His mercy, love, and grace, it must be RECEIVED and one must REMAIN for the fulfillment of the REWARD of their Lord! Do not be deceived, a RELATIONSHIP with THE SAVIOR, THE LORD, AND THE KING IS FUNDAMENTAL FOR THIS KIND OF LIFE IN JESUS CHRIST!

This life is different and it is different because it is of God, know what He says concerning you and the precious gift of godliness in and through His Son, Jesus! Sorry, you cannot REIMBURSE God for your life, it takes a “different” payment type. It’s Called the sanctified Blood of Christ!

Be Renewed today, that the Godly Life is the DIFFERENCE OF HIM in you! Grow in the Wisdom, stature, and in Favor with your Father and man, for it is the path for one who is DIFFERENT! (Luke 2:52, Romans 12:1-2)

Be the Difference….Godly Life!

1Peter 1:3 His divine power has given us everything we need for a godly life through our knowledge of him who called us by *his own glory and goodness.

SIN AFFECTS THE BORN AGAIN, WE MUST CONTEND!

If you take the time to read today, you will be Empowered and Encouraged in the Life you Confess!

You can not talk about the Godly Life, The Journey of our Existence in the Life IN Jesus Christ, and NOT talk about sin!

Jude 1:3 Beloved, when I gave all diligence to write unto you of the common salvation, it was needful for me to write unto you, and exhort you that ye should earnestly contend for the faith which was once delivered unto the saints.

Let’s remind ourselves that SIN is the reason God, “slain His Son before the foundations of the earth.” In other words, God had a plan as God is sovereign in all knowledge and the Master of All and of ALL things. God knew He would need a Savior for the ones He would create on the earth for His Glory(Rev 13:8, Is 43:7, Is 63:5).

This is the revealed knowledge throughout the Bible as God reveals Himself to those who are seeking Him. The facts are that He created us and created us to the pleasure of Him! He had a plan before the created ones of HIM were even “made and formed” in that what He declared, that He would be our God and we will be His people, would stand! (Rev 21:7, 2 Corinthians 6:16)

God the Father of THOSE “called out”, the ones who have believed that Jesus is the Son of God, the ones who confess the finished work of Jesus Christ in their lives and now live in the power of God that raised Jesus from death, THOSE who live by the work, standard, rule and reigning of The Lord and King Jesus Christ, from faith to faith, through the leading and empowerment of His Spirit, Holy Spirit. "THOSE PEOPLE!" Yes, people, born again…Christians who are saved from the consequence of eternal separation from God of their lives. Salvation was needed because of SIN. In the words of Christ, it is settled….. Jesus answered and said unto him, Verily, verily, I say unto thee, Except a man be born again, he cannot see the kingdom of God. (John 3:3) Sin must be talked about!

Now Saved and being saved awaiting the coming of the Rewarder and Judging of every soul, SIN is still on the earth! And the Church, THOSE BORN AGAIN, must CONTEND FOR THE FAITH WE WERE GIVEN IN OUR SALVATION. (Jude 1:3) You, must defend and be the defense in the earth of Who is your Redeemer and the New Creation you are made and formed, being revealed in the Life of Jesus Christ! The world's ideals and ways, the selfish and ambitious wills of our flesh, and enticements of satan are not of The Father, but they are tools of the Adversary to draw us away from God, His truth and Way, that the abundant life you are given becomes a faint memory, THAT YOU WILL WALK AWAY FROM THE KNOWLEDGE OF HIM REVEALED TO YOU.(Romans 8:7, James 4:4, James 1:14, 1Timothy 4:1-2, Romans 1:18-26, 32)

I want to encourage you today, that God is Faithful, He knew the journey of His children on earth. He knew we would need His presence and power to come to the end of our faith! Just like He knew we needed Jesus, He knows we need until HIm until the Day of the Lord!

He sent Holy Spirit to live within us and to lead us because we are His “sons”. (Romans 8:14) He is the Witness of Jesus, that will empower us to deny ourselves and take the “Way of Escape” of every temptation which is His Word that we “follow Christ” and BE the overcomers He has created us to be! (John 15:26, 1John 5:4)

Yes, SIN is still the enemy! Yes, SIN is still on the earth! Yes, SIN is still an issue, even with the Born Again in our daily walk unto eternal life! BUT we in Jesus Christ are “more than conquers”. DON’T PLAY WITH SIN, CONTEND FOR THE FAITH IN WHICH YOU LIVE! (Romans 8:37, Jude 1:3) It’s not a work but A WAY of our Godly LIfe! Thank you Jesus for The Way and The Truth!

1 Corinthians 10:13 There hath no temptation taken you but such as man can bear: but God is faithful, who will not suffer you to be tempted above that ye are able; but will with the temptation make also the way of escape, that ye may be able to endure it.

It’s Intentional! It’s the Godly Life!

Bless you, to all those who joined us on Tuesday's Talk, WE are renewing our minds!

EASTER

DEVOTIONAL RENEWING OUR MINDS! IT MAY BE EASTER TO THE WORLD BUT FOR THOSE WHO ARE IN JESUS CHRIST, IT IS.....

THE PATH, THE PASSION, THE RESURRECTION OF CHRIST

A Celebration of The Power of God for YOU!

Easter Holiday of tradition and historical influence of greek, Jewish and other cultures. We can spend days filtering through the details and the errors of this holiday. However, for those who are born again in Jesus Christ through the word and power of God, this time of the year is a holiday! A holiday is by definition a timing or a day that is set aside from “normal activities” to celebrate or commemorate an event. For the true Christian, this holiday is a public opportunity to celebrate with joy the events of our Lord and King Jesus Christ. We have come to know, that the Path, Passion, and the Resurrection of Christ are the “events” that changed our lives over 2000 years ago.

The Power of His Resurrection in Word and Deed found us in our darkness and brought us into the Light, Life of our Lord that lingers and restores us today. This holiday is an opportunity to voice and demonstrate our obedient love to The One who sacrificed Himself willing and bore the sins of the world that The Father would be satisfied through justice to condemn sin in His created ones through His blood.

It is through the Path, Passion, and Power of Christ in every believer in the Life of Jesus, that their heart is grateful and indebted only to HIm for Life and Life abundantly. We share in the fellowship of one Faith, one Father, and one Lord. Our one faith is in the finished works of the Savior and the completed works of The Lord and King of all things in Heaven and all things on the earth!

The Resurrection of Christ, the Anointed One is not a day on the calendar, nor is it the celebration of traditions for the Born Again but it is an EVENT that all may know The ALL Powerful God, the Father of Jesus Christ, our Creator!

The Resurrection of Christ is foreshadowed in The Bible through the lives of the Israelites. The Jewish culture acknowledges this timing on their calendar known as Passover which commemorates the deliverance of God’s people from slavery from the foreign force of “Eygpt”. In the same way, The Resurrection of Christ, through the miraculous power of God's heart and hand, conquered death for the ones He loves. Death “passed over” His people and He lead them out of the oppressor's hands in Power!

The Resurrection Power of God is a demonstration of His love to set free those He first Loved! A Love that is never forgotten or Forsaken, a Love that Cast our all Fear, A Love that Remains!

Remember, Celebrate and Communerate The Resurrection of Jesus Christ in Honor and adoration of Our Father who loves beyond the Power of Death and Raised His Son for our Peace and Righteousness! Remember the Sacrifice of Jesus Christ took the Path and the Passion of Himself to Suffer and Die! It was in His Death that The Power of God Raised HIm and That Power Lives in you!

He has Risen and He is Risen in you!

We are Born In Jesus to Make it TO HIM!

Jude 1:24-25 Now all glory to God, who is able to keep you from falling away and will bring you with great joy into his glorious presence without a single fault. All glory to him who alone is God, our Savior through Jesus Christ our Lord. All glory, majesty, power, and authority are his before all time, and in the present, and beyond all time! Amen.

Apostle Jude ended his short letter to “those who have been called, who are loved in God the Father and kept for Jesus Christ” with a declaration of God being the only one is able to keep us from stumbling. Apostle Jude had to address the false teachers that were among the Christians during that time that were perverting the very understanding of the unmerited favor and power of God to give eternal life in Jesus Christ. Perversion is to take something and “turn it away” from the truth of it, to alter it from its true intent or purpose. These false teachers taught that the Grace of God was a “license to sin”, denying the very one who was crucified that “sin” dealt with in our lives. Sin acts against God, from our minds or motivation, are the very things that separated us from our Creator and Father, God.

Does that sound familiar? “False Teachers” in our eyes and ears manipulating, presenting “perverted” information, cunningly enticing the people of God to accept and participate in the very acts, attitudes, ways, and worldly truths that oppose God! Even to the craftiness of using the language and ways of godly messages to falsely pull us away to “forms of light”……..pure deception of the truth and a lie!

False Teachers in our generation are not only those that are ungodly people but also media and social facades that give an impression of God and His ways but are inherently impure and not from the Father of All. These false ideas and ways are not uncommon to mankind and will entice us in the natural or carnal areas of our human lives. Why, because the “flesh” of human nature is without God, and cannot perceive much less desire Him. The ‘flesh’ desires what it wants for its own satisfaction, never considering God or “every word that proceeds out of His mouth”.

But now in the lives of Jesus Christ, indwelt by the Holy Spirit we have everything we need to live a godly life and come to the purpose of God’s will and end of the given faith in Jesus, our salvation. Salvation into peace with our God and the promise of eternal life WITH HIM! Sin is present in the human capacities of believers; however, Holy Spirit is doing a mighty work IN US to bring us to the glorious end as evidence of God’s faithfulness in what He created. Sin may have its moments in us however it will not prevail because Holy Spirit is in us and we are in Jesus Christ. Grace is not a license to sin, it is a license to be free and overcome, what the enemy of God, the “adversary” among us wants to steal, kill and destroy….your life and your life in Christ!

He is greater in you than you can ever imagine or think! Yield to Holy Spirit, be led by Him in every area of your life, obey the Words of Jesus revealed to you daily and mature in the life of Him, producing the godly ways and truth in your life!

IN OTHER WORDS, CONTEND FOR FAITH ENTRUSTED TO YOU!

No Condemnation!

Romans 8:1 NKJV

There is therefore now no condemnation to those who are in Christ Jesus, who do not walk according to the flesh, but according to the Spirit.

The Reality of Life in Jesus Christ is that you are no longer found guilty and punished for the sin that you were born in from your mother’s womb. This SAME sin that has been judged by The Creator, God and the only payment is death.(Roman 6:23)

The Good News is and always been the Life, Sacrifice, Death of Jesus Christ is the Payment God requires for sin. He Did it! And He did it for the world! It is Finished! (1 John 2:2, Hebrews 10:12-14)

 Sin is judged and God has given full and all authority to Jesus Christ to judge mankind concerning the Payment that is due to God. (John 5:22, John 17:2) 

We Thank the Father Today that Jesus, who is our Lord, gives those who are: 

• Born Again 

• Created as new creations in HIM 

• Indwelled by the Holy Spirit 

THE COST OF THIER SINS ……PAID IN FULL! 

(John 3, 2 Corinthinan 5:17, Romans 10, Acts 2:38) If have NOT Received The Free Gift of Life in Jesus Christ through Faith, you will have to pay The Cost of Sin with your own Life! 

For Those one with Jesus Christ, The devil cannot accuse you, or condemn you before God because of the Blood of Jesus Christ that clothes you! 

What do you do with a LIFE like that? Live Free Indeed and Freely Reconciled with One who Created you! (John 8:36)

YOU Walk-LIVE! A Life in Gratitude and Honor through Obedience to One who Saved you! It’s called love! As Apostle John reveals to us the best, “And this is love: that we walk in obedience to his commands. As you have heard from the beginning, his command is that you walk in love” (2 John 1:6)

Refresh Yourself in Your Confession that You Belong to Jesus Christ and Treasure the Gift of Life of Jesus by building holy and righteous ways of God in every area of your being. 

1 Corinthians 3:12-13

If anyone builds on this foundation using gold, silver, costly stones, wood, hay or straw, 13 their work will be shown for what it is, because the Day will bring it to light. It will be revealed with fire, and the fire will test the quality of each person’s work.

It’s Intentional. It’s the Godly Life!

RECEIVING CHRIST IS A PLACE OF REMAINING IN CHRIST!

1 JOHN 2:1

My little children, these things write I unto you, that ye sin not. And if any man sin, we have an advocate with the Father, Jesus Christ the righteous.

The throne of God is open to you! The Father has made a way that you can come before Him in honor and petition in the Blood Bought Life that is the Light in men, Jesus Christ! The Father of us All remembers your sins no more in Jesus Christ(Hebrews 10:17)

Salvation in Jesus Christ brings our hearts into continual gratitude and devotion of The Creator and The Savior, that all that you are, your heart is willing to give freely for Your Lord and Your King, Jesus!

Why?

Sin is not an issue with God concerning your eternal salvation in the finished work of Jesus Christ. He is who the Bible reveals He is, He did do and accomplish what God the Father sent Him to do! RECONCILED THE WORLD BACK TO THE FATHER. (2 Corinthians 5:18)

Jesus was slain before the foundation of earth manifested as our Lord and King, Jesus Christ. (Rev. 13:8)

Jesus was sent by the pleasure of Father to suffer and die for the sins of the WORLD! (Is. 53, 1 John 4:14)

Jesus paid the asking price for us that satisfied the justice of God, and paid it in full, now and forevermore. (1 John 2:2, Galatians 3:14, Hebrews 10:12)

Jesus is our Bonifield Advocate that has Covered the Cost of our life with HIS!

Jesus Saved the World but only those who RECEIVED The Word are the Children of God. (John 1:12) Children will always be the Children of Father and He will conform us, through the Holy Spirit to be who we are Created...His Righteousness.

REMAINING IN CHRIST IS FREE INDEED!

John 8:36

If the Son therefore shall make you free, ye shall be free indeed

THE WORD: REJECTED OR RECEIVED? A LOOK A SALVATION AGAIN!

John 1:12 But as many as received him, to them gave he power to become the sons of God, even to them that believe on his name..

In Salvation Receiving The Word or the Rejection of The Word brings Life or a Continuum of death, total separation from the Creator and Father of Us All. God, before the beginning of time, chose The Word to bring Life, The Word to be Heard, The Word to be seen, The Word to be experienced and The Word to bring Light to all men! (John 1)

All men, All mankind, the WhoseSoEvers that believe in what they Heard concerning the Sent Savior, the Exalted King, and Lord, Jesus Christ have believed and received Him and shall be saved in the Day of Lord, as ones Born Again in Jesus Christ! (Mark 16:19)

What you heard, What pierced your heart, What brought your mind to turn to God and adhere to what He said was the heard knowledge of The Only Begotten Son! John 3:16 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.

It is this Word, the Gospel of Jesus Christ, that is the Power of God unto Salvation! (Romans 1:16) The Word and Power of God that birthed you….. NOT of your natural descent, NOT of fleshly will or desires to procreate, NOT even your own willingness to know God, But Born of God! (John 1:13) Born Again, NOT of your mother’s womb BUT of The Water(The Word of God you Heard) and The Spirit(The Power of God, His Person in the earth). You are Begotten of The Father, who is spirit and Now in Jesus, You are born spirit! (John 3, John 4:24))

Your natural life is not irrelevant but it is OBSOLETE, now in Jesus Christ! One who RECEIVED THE WORD IS A NEW CREATION, A CHILD OF GOD! (2 Cor. 5:17)

But one who REJECTS WHAT THEY HAVE HEARD, REJECTS JESUS, AND WHO REJECTS JESUS REJECTS GOD! (John 12:49, 1 John 2:23, Luke 10:16)

What is the fate, destination of one who REJECTS THE WORD, WHO IS CHRIST? They are condemned, they have missed the mark of The One Who was sent to be their salvation and reconciliation with The Father. They will be judged by Jesus concerning their life and accounted for righteousness or wickedness, as simple as that!

Righteousness is ONLY in Jesus Christ! Wickedness is sin and sin has a cost! The wages of sin is death, and the whosoevers that are not written in Lamb’s book of life are condemned to eternal separation from The Creator. (Romans 6:23, John 3:18, Rev. 13:8, John 5:30, Acts 17:30-31)

Those Who Recieve The Word are given the Right as the Children of God and Those Who Reject The Word is condemned to death and not a partaker of Eternal life.

It’s simple, it’s straight forward and it’s crucial for everyone YOU know! The question for your family and friends should be: Are you, my friend, my neighbor….. Born Again in Jesus Christ???

Ask the Question Saints and Have The Answer of Life, Jesus Christ! Their life depends on it!

Join us Next Week on Tuesday's Talk Under the Tree as we seek The Word concerning those Who are Born Again and Rejecting The Word in this Intentional journey called Life!

THE WORD IS “HE”! JESUS CHRIST AND “HE” IS GOD!

JOHN 1:1-5, 14

The book of John gives us a different perspective of thought concerning Jesus Christ from the Synoptic Gospels, Matthew, Mark, and Luke! Apostle John states the reason the Gospel of John was written is “that you may believe that Jesus is the Messiah, the Son of God and that by believing you may have life in his name.” (John 20:31)

Apostle John, as the witness that observed, lived, followed, listened, heard, and received the Living Word in the flesh, gives us the understanding that Jesus Christ is the Son of God from HIM and of HIM, God!

The Word, Eternal, and Spirit is The Anointed one, The Logos, The Son of God and ALL of Who God is, Jesus is Him, manifested in the earth to Save the World from the darkness of death now and give life, now and forevermore! His Name is Jesus, The Christ! Jesus, The Word!

Jesus has always been and always was and will always be! Jesus is of God and From, as the Angel told Mary, I remind you today, the One who was born is called the Son of God. Born as the Holy Spirit came upon her and the Highest overshadowed her, to bring forth the Son of God CLOTHED in the tent, form of a bondservant of Humankind.

The Word, "He" walked the earth that WE could and would know Him as the Gift and Substance of a new life and live a God-ordained and purposed life…The Godly Life! (Luke 1:35, Phil 2:7, 2 Cor 5:17, 2 Peter 1)

THE WORD IS:

• John 1:1 What God Said(Logos) and God

• John 1:2 The Person of God as “He”, Jesus and “He” has Always been, Eternal

• John 1:3 He is Creator and the Substance of all Creation

• John 1:4 The Zoe’ Life of God in the earth

• John 1:5 The Light of Men in the earth

• John 1:14 The Human living soul of the Divine God in the earth

JOHN 1:14..... AND THE WORD WAS MADE FLESH, AND DWELT AMONG US, (AND WE BEHELD HIS GLORY, THE GLORY AS OF THE ONLY BEGOTTEN OF THE FATHER,) FULL OF GRACE AND TRUTH.

THE ESTABLISHMENT OF GOD IN MANKIND: HIS WORD

2 PETER 1:12 SO I WILL ALWAYS REMIND YOU OF THESE THINGS, EVEN THOUGH YOU KNOW THEM AND ARE FIRMLY ESTABLISHED IN THE TRUTH YOU NOW HAVE.

What is God's pattern to establish a thing, that it is completed to His expected end? The core, the essence of God’s establishment of Himself in mankind, is His Word!

Before God formed mankind from the dust of the ground, He spoke it first! Genesis 1:26, Then God said, “Let Us make man in Our image, according to Our likeness;”. God spoke the heavens and earth into existence, in The Beginning! Before they appeared, The Voice of God, His very Thoughts were Spoken and there it became. (Genesis 1)

• God spoke and mankind was made and formed! (Genesis 1:27, Genesis 2:7)

• God sent His Word and We became a New Creation in Jesus Christ (2Cor. 5:17)

• God has fulfilled His own Word to His expected end, His Will! (John 6:38, Matt 5:17))

People of God, the possession of Him, (1 Peter 2:9) You are Created, Made, Formed, Drawn, Sustained, Kept, Tested, Trialed, Matured, Delivered, and Empowered by His Word! Call it what you wish…..The Word, The Word of God, God’s Word, The Holy Scriptures, Prophecies ……But it is All Scripture! (2 Timothy 3:16) Nothing eliminated or added to, Just what God Said! And What God Said is contained in the 66 Books of The Bible, the divine Words of His very thoughts. Written down for our benefit! (Romans 4:23)

Study The Word, there is where you Seek and Find God (John 1). Holy Spirit only speaks what He hears, and what He hears is What God Said. Holy Spirit is our divine Teacher to guide and give us understanding as the Spirit of Truth! (John 16:13)

The Word is holy, sacred, consecrated, and divine. Why? Because The Word is God! The Word is His Truth. The Word is His Power, and The Word will accomplish His Will.(Is 55:11)

Be the Student of God’s Word, Your LIfe is Dependent Upon it!

GOD’S MIGHTY WORK OF YOU! JEREMIAH 18:1-4

EPHESIANS 2:10 — (NKJV) FOR WE ARE HIS WORKMANSHIP, CREATED IN CHRIST JESUS FOR GOOD WORKS, WHICH GOD PREPARED BEFOREHAND THAT WE SHOULD WALK IN THEM.

Imagine this…. the Potter, the creator of vessels decides He wants to make a new vessel. In His mind, He has determined the very intricate parts that will be a pleasure to Him. The Potter begins to walk to the wheel and in His mind formulates the very motions and strokes of His hands to produce His thoughts and desires for the miraculous creation of His making. The Potter has a desire that His hands create the expression of Himself in the image and likeness of His will. That when He is finished, what He created in His mind is in the cup of His Hands.......made & formed according to Him, and it is very good!

We, people of God, are created, formed, and made by The Creator. Mankind; men &women are the supernatural created beings of God, who is Elohim. You were thought of, imagined, planned, and desired by the One who created you. By and only by His power and authority, you exist in His hands! It is in the Hands of God that He works in us, another vessel in Jesus Christ that we are blameless and spotless before Him. Being formed daily unto the Good Works of image, likeness, His authority, and rule, that we are the evidence of Our Father in the earth.

Be encouraged today that you are of GREAT BEGINNINGS OF GOD and the NEW BEGINNING IN JESUS CHRIST! He thought it and purpose it, and it is good to Him! Why?? He knows the end of His own pleasure! Be Blessed.

Philippians 1:6

And I am sure of this, that he who began a good work in you will bring it to completion at the day of Jesus Christ.

SANCTIFICATION-GOD’S FAITHFUL WORK IN YOU!

Philippians 1: 6-7 And I am sure of this, that he who began a good work in you will bring it to completion at the day of Jesus Christ. 7 It is right for me to feel this way about you all, because I hold you in my heart, for you are all partakers with me of grace, both in my imprisonment and in the defense and confirmation of the gospel.

In the Beginning, God Created, and everything else from that point came into existence by His voice. God spoke what He created, what He knew in His own mind! People of God, nothing started with Genesis 1, it all starts with God and it is revealed to us in the Holy Scriptures and demonstration of God’s in our lives. God is the one who knows the End from the Beginning. (Isaiah 46:10)

It is this same voice that created all that you see every day in creation, that He says, “My purpose will stand, and I will do all that I please.” (Isaiah 46:10) His purpose will prevail(Proverbs 19:21)! When God, who is Elohim, Creator God says it…….. It is so! And It will happen! (Isaiah 14:24) Why, because He is the Almighty; El Shaddai, The Master; Adonai and He is Alpha and Omega, He is God!

The Master, All Power God has a plan for those He created to be as He created, as He pleased in His own heart….His pleasure… His Will…what satisfies Him. He is God that can and will complete what He wants, what He desires, and what He has orchestrated in His Mind, in His Hands, and His Created making! God is sovereign, which means He is the Only One and He has the power to begin, form, make and complete all He desires. He is One who created all things and it is only by Him all things are held together. (Colossians 1:17)

It is our all-powerful, all-knowing God who has determined His will in YOU and THERE He Works because He is faithful to Himself and His own desire, which is that the ones He created to be conformed into the good, pleasing will that is His son, Jesus Christ! (Romans 8:29)The good, holy, and righteousness that is of Him and is Him. He will not deny Himself, He has determined His way will come to pass and come to pass in you! (2 Timothy 2:13)

Be confident as Apostle Paul was as he spoke to those born again enduring with patience the process of salvation and sanctification through the WORK OF GOD IN THEM. His confidence was not in the error of mankind, but the proven FAITHFULNESS OF GOD IN HIS WILL FOR US! HE WILL SEE YOU TO THE BLESSED END!

1 Corinthians 1:8

He will keep you strong to the end so that you will be free from all blame on the day when our Lord Jesus Christ returns.
