Jesus Makes Us Unblameable In Holiness

So that He may strengthen and confirm and establish your hearts faultlessly pure and unblamable in holiness in the sight of our God and Father, at the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ (the Messiah) with all His saints (the holy and glorified people of God)! Amen, (so be it)! 1 Thessalonians 3:13

This is a short verse; yet look at the power that our Father proclaims through it! We are shown that it is our Father that will establish our hearts unblameable in holiness to the end. Our Father will allow no man and absolutely no thing to pluck us from his hands. We are sealed with the Holy Ghost, we are the Temples of God Himself, we are members of His body, flesh of His flesh, and bone of His bones! Our darkness is as the noonday, no weapon formed against us shall prosper, and all things are possible for those who love the Lord. Jesus Authors and Finishes our faith, we are more than conquerors through Christ Who loves us, and even though we walk through the valley of the shadow of death we fear no evil, for God is with us, and His perfect love casts out all fear from within us. His staff and His rod comfort us, and He prepares a table before us is the presence of our enemies. God Himself, our Father establishes us in true holiness, unblameable to the end, and He strengthens us and makes our way perfect!

As far as the east is from the west, that is how far God has removed our transgression from us. Our sins are covered by Jesus’ Blood and our righteousness has been freely given unto us without any works! The last two paragraphs are nothing but scriptures; they are nothing but God’s Truth’s!

I want you to actually stop and take a couple of moments and really consider what our Father is proclaiming to us through His Word! Think of how the church would walk and behave if these were actually being lived in. Think of how our prayers would be, how we would bind and loose, the authority and power that we would walk in, the way we would communicate with our Father and with each other. Think of truly accepting and walking and living fully in these Truths.

Do you see why God is having me talk about this? Why He has had me teach of who we are in Him, and since we are one with Him what we actually are? Religion is not working, people may be talking about God and Jesus, but they are not living the life that our Father has provided for them.

Let’s just look at the world and what’s going on; terrorism, abortion, divorce, adultery, and all of the anti-God legislation being passed by governments throughout the world. Religion is not working. But if we would begin to live in what our Father has provided for us, then think of how things would be. Terrorism comes from hopelessness, Jesus gives hope and faith comes from hope, and faith the size of a grain of mustard seed blows a mountain into the sea! Abortion comes from fear, Jesus author’s faith not fear, and He does it without condemnation! It wouldn’t matter if every judge and every elected official in the land said abortion was legal, if the Church would begin to walk in what we have studied, abortion would end. We would have the answer and the power and the love that would conquer it. Women would stop desiring abortions and doctors would stop performing them. I honestly and actually believe this. Picture Jesus, and now picture millions of people walking united with Him, picture millions of people who are one with Him, walking in His power, in His love, with His faith, with His mind, with His heart, and with His Spirit! Picture millions of us being used by our Father in the fullness of His power and in the fullness of His love! That is what God’s Word teaches us we should be. Picture it, and picture a glorious Church without spot and without wrinkle and without blemish, and tell me that it wouldn’t be this way.

When the Church actually begins to walk in the power of our unity with Christ, who will care what the government has to say. Just two of us can be used by God to join together and bring His will to pass! “Again I say unto you, That if two of you shall agree on earth as touching any thing that they shall ask, it shall be done for them of my Father which is in heaven.” Matthew 18:19 There wont be just two of us either, there will be millions of us! When Jesus walked this earth 2000 years ago look at how it responded, one man united and born of God, and look at what happened. Now that Man, Jesus our Lord, said that we would be used by our Father to do the same things and even greater things, so tell me that what we are talking about won’t come to pass! It absolutely will, that is why Jesus so boldly proclaimed in John 17 that the world will believe. There is no other way for the world all together and all at once to believe unless we are walking in the full and complete power of Jesus, as He is, united and strengthened with God Himself, and perfected for glorious service! Do I mean that all men will believe? I sure hope so! It is the will of our Father that all men be saved, so we should desire the same thing!

"For God hath not called us unto uncleanness, but to holiness." 1 Thessalonians 4:7 We are holy servants fully equipped for the service of God! Glorious with Christ’ glory, sanctified by Jesus our Lord, united with our Father and with Jesus. In Christ we are perfect and strong through the power of His might, and lacking nothing; this is the Church that Jesus is returning for, a Church that is as He is in this world! Faith is the evidence of things hoped for, and the Holy Spirit allows us to abound in hope!
