All Things Work For Our Good

“We are assured and know that [God being a partner in their labor] all things work together and are [fitting into a plan] for good to and for those who love God and are called according to [His] design and purpose. Romans 8:28 Amplified Bible Today the U.S. Supreme Court ruled that we are no longer allowed to display the Ten Commandments in our Courtrooms. Through the power of the Holy Ghost that has been shed abroad in our hearts we know and are assured that this will work into God’s plan and will work for our good! When Jesus was crucified, to the world it looked like God’s plan was thwarted, yet God knew the Truth that would set us free! “But I say unto you, Love your enemies, bless them that curse you, do good to them that hate you, and pray for them which despitefully use you, and persecute you;” Matthew 5:44 The weapons of our warfare are not carnal but spiritual and they are mighty to the bringing down of strongholds. Pray for the Justices and for those that support the attack on Christianity. And remember that through Christ all things work for good for us! Through Christ we are more than conquerors and through Christ God is able to fully use us! Be blessed in the power of His might!

Our Sin's Are Forgiven For God's Sake

"I write to you, little children, because your sins are forgiven you for His name's sake." 1 John 2:12

Our sins have been forgiven us for our Father's sake, as well as for our sake! The Blood of Jesus has permanently set us free from sin, so that our Father can use us and perform His works of righteousness through us. This Truth allows us to be truly glorified, which will allow us to truly live! Jesus came and did it all for us to glorify our Father. God wants the whole world to be saved; He wants the whole world to be free, healthy, peaceful, joyful, faithful, and righteous and He wants to use each one of us to accomplish His will!

"A little leaven leaveneth the whole lump." Galatians 5:9 Our Father cannot do all of this if there is any power of sin within us, any at all. The smallest amount of sin hinders God from having fellowship with us. “Be not unequally yoked together with unbelievers, for what fellowship hath righteousness with unrighteousness? And what communion hath light with darkness?” 2 Corinthians 6:14 So to cleanse us completely, our Father sent His Son, Jesus our Savior, and through Jesus' Shed Blood all sin has been eternally removed from us. And now our Father can work His mighty works through the instruments of His affection, which is us!

This Truth is rarely preached: God removed all of the power of sin from us, and He did it not only to benefit us, it’s not just for us, it’s also for Him. Our sins are forgiven us for our Father's Name’s sake. We win and Jesus wins, as God works His mighty works through us! Our Father could use a rock to serve His purposes, but He has chosen us, and thank God that He has! We are a chosen generation and we are a royal priesthood, who have been raised up together and made to sit together in Heavenly places in Christ Jesus our Lord and Savior! We have been born again and empowered by the will of God to glorify His Name.

“Which were born, not of the will of blood, nor of the will of the flesh, nor of the will of man, but of God.” John 1:13 Our Father has willed us into existence to be as He is, so that we all may be used to produce righteous and eternal fruit!

The Blood Of Jesus Cleanses Us From All Sin

"But if we walk in the light, as He is in the light, we have fellowship one with another, and the blood of Jesus Christ His Son cleanseth us from all sin." 1 John 1:7

We now walk and abide in the Light! We have now become one with the Light and the Blood of Jesus continually and forever cleanses us from all sin. All sin, past, present, and future. The Blood has delivered us from the power of sin, the pleasure of sin, the presence of sin, and the penalty of sin! All is all, and God has made us one with Him through Jesus, and He would have never let us in, if we weren’t going to stay! There will never be any fellowship between righteousness and unrighteousness. We walk in the Light, as He is in the Light, and if there is anything within us that needs removed to perfect our walk, God takes it out.

"As it is written, behold, I lay in Sion a stumblingstone and a rock of offence; and whosoever believeth on Him shall not be ashamed." Romans 9:33 The Truth is that it is all Jesus, we can not take any credit apart from Him in doing anything, and that causes many of us to stumble! People want to believe that they are able to receive the righteous benefits of God because they prayed enough, went to church enough, tithed enough, offered enough, or worked enough! Our works are not what brings our freedom from sin, yet our freedom from sin will bring works! The cleansing Blood of Jesus and the righteousness that comes with it, will bring the works of God through us, and since it is God working through us, we will never be ashamed! We will receive rewards and blessings and the only thing we ever did was to be used by God! When you hear it preached that if you do this or that, and then God will act, turn that sermon off! But when you hear it preached that it is God doing this and that through us, so that He can accomplish His will and His purpose, rejoice, the Truth has been preached and the Truth will set us free!

We Abide In Christ, Where There Is No Sin

"And ye know that He was manifested to take away our sins; and in Him is no sin. Whosoever abideth in Him sinneth not: whosoever sinneth hath not seen Him, neither known Him." 1 John 3:5-6

We now abide in Jesus and since we do, we sin not! The great peace here is that once we truly are called and chosen to accept Jesus as Lord, there is no way that we can ever leave Him!

“For ye are dead, and your life is hid with Christ in God.” Colossians 3:3

“It is a faithful saying: for if we be dead with Him, we also live with Him:” 2 Timothy 2:11

“Knowing this, that our old man is crucified with Him, that the body of sin might be destroyed, that henceforth we should not serve sin.” Romans 6:6

“I am crucified with Christ, nevertheless I live; yet not I, but Christ liveth in me: and the life which I now live in the flesh I live by the faith of the Son of God, Who loved me, and gave Himself for me.” Galatians 2:20

“God forbid. How shall we, that are dead to sin, live any longer therein?” Romans 6:1

Because we are chosen by God and born again from His Incorruptible Seed, and because we are empowered by the Holy Spirit to truly make Jesus the Lord of our lives, there will never be any separation between God and us again. He will never leave us or forsake us! So there is now no occasion for us to stumble into unrighteousness. Every law that was in place to convict us has been removed, and through the power of Jesus’ Blood sin has been done away with for us. Our Father now has the freedom to carry out His will in our lives and His will is to have unbroken fellowship with us! Now that we are free from sin, God can use us as vessels of righteousness and work through us!

Those Whom Jesus has made free, are free indeed! “And the servant abideth not in the house forever, but the Son abideth forever. If the Son therefore shall make you free, ye shall be free indeed.” John 8:35-36 We are free, free from fear, free from sin, free from ignorance, free from guilt, free from the sting of death, and we are free to be cleansed from all unrighteousness! Now here is the Truth, a servant will leave the house, but the Son will remain in the house forever! Who are we one with now? Whose body are we now? “I in them, and Thou in Me, that they may be made perfect in One; and that the world may know that Thou hast sent Me, and hast loved them, as Thou hast loved Me.” John 17:23 We are now the perfect body of the Son Who remains in the house forever! And since we are, we too abide in the House forever, and whosoever abideth in the house sinneth not!

Jesus Has Taken Away All Of Our Sin

"If we say that we have no sin, we deceive ourselves, and the truth is not in us. If we confess our sins, He is faithful and just to forgive us our sins, and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness. If we say we have not sinned, we make Him a liar, and His word is not in us." 1 John 1:8-10

Let me start right now by confessing to all who will ever read this, that without Jesus Christ in my life, I am nothing but sin! Apart from Christ and without the power and glory of our Father working through me, even the good works that I did, were sinful works! Everything that I ever did before accepting Jesus as Lord was sin! God is not a man that He should lie; I have sinned! And let me also confess that the only reason I have been able to accept Jesus as my Lord and make Him my Savior, is because He first Authored and Finished the faith within me to do so, and it is God’s will that all men be saved! Now here is the awesome part, Jesus has empowered me to confess this and because He has, He has now cleansed me from all unrighteousness! Hallelujah, Jesus has placed Himself within us, and Jesus is the Word of God, and He has made us one with the Word, and through our unity with the Word, we are perfect, and the world will believe and be saved! Jesus doesn’t lie, every last one of our sins has been forgiven us, and we are now clean from all unrighteousness!

"Whosoever is born of God doth not commit sin; for His seed remaineth in him, and he cannot sin, because he is born of God." 1 John 3:9

Once we were born of God, we no longer could sin, that power that held us captive was destroyed, our old self was crucified with Christ and our body of sin was destroyed, Romans 6:6! God’s Seed, His Incorruptible Seed, now remains within us, 1 Peter 1:23! We don’t stand sovereign in this freedom, it’s not by our own works, it’s completely accomplished by Jesus’ works! It’s the Blood of Jesus that has paid the price for us and Jesus has cleansed us, and it is the indwelling of the Holy Spirit that empowers us! Jesus has cleansed us from all sin!

"And He is the propriation for our sins: and not for ours only, but also for the sins of the whole world." 1 John 2:2

We Are Baptized Into Christ

“Know ye not, that so many of us as were baptized into Jesus Christ, were baptized into His death. Therefore we are buried with Him by baptism into death: that like as Christ was raised up from the dead by the glory of the Father, even so we should walk in newness of life.” Romans 6:3-4

The issue is this, and most of us do not know this, and it’s not God’s will that we don’t know, we just haven’t come to know it, there is no longer any condemnation for us, there is only freedom and liberty through our Lord and Savior Jesus! Our salvation through Christ has baptized us into Jesus’ death! “For he that is dead is freed from sin.” Romans 6:7 If we have been made to be part of Jesus’ death, than we are free from sin. God didn’t lie here, and since we are free from sin, we are free from the power that would separate us from God. So just as Jesus can’t fall away from God, neither can we. Now here is the great Truth, since we are free from sin, we can also now live unto God, as Jesus lives unto God! It’s not just that we can’t fall away, it’s that we can now truly be used as vessels of God’s righteousness, and as God proclaims in 1 Corinthians 3:13, we can receive rewards! God is so powerful and His grace is so awesome that He says that He will do the works through us, and that He will prune out everything that needs pruned out of us, and then He will reward us, even though He did it all!

"We know that whosoever is born of God sinneth not; but he that is begotten of God keepeth himself, and the wicked one toucheth him not." 1 John 5:18 Who deceived Adam and caused him to sin? The devil, the wicked one, it was satan that caused Adam to sin! Well, whosoever is born of God can’t be touched by the devil, and since he can’t touch us, we sin not! And how do we keep ourselves? We die and give it all to Jesus! Then we are kept by the power of His might! The Brad that was born on September 2nd of 1965 is dead; he was destroyed! Hallelujah, and thank You God he was destroyed! That wicked evil wretch, got what he deserved, death through destruction! But the Brad who was reborn from the Incorruptible Seed of God in 1976, is alive and well! All who have truly said yes to Jesus and who have made Him the Lord of their lives are now kept by Him and Jesus is the Good Shepherd! All who have been truly saved have been grafted into the Vine of Jesus Christ, and God is now our Gardener, and He knows how to garden, and His fruit is abundantly produced through His vineyard. God is such a great Gardener that He only has One plant, and the Vine of Christ produces abundant fruit!

Fall away? It is impossible to fall away! "Now unto Him that is able to keep you from falling, and present you faultless before the presence of His glory with exceeding joy." Jude 24 A-men, look at this Truth, our Savior keeps us from falling and our Savior presents us faultless, and He does it so wonderfully that we are able to have exceeding joy! This is peace that passes all understanding! We will never fall and Jesus will present us all to God and we will stand in the presence of His glory, completely and totally faultless! Fall away, no way! We know the Truth and the Truth has set us free!

God Will Remove Every Dead Work From Us

"Every man's work shall be made manifest: for the day shall declare it, because it shall be revealed by fire; and fire shall try every man's work of what sort it is. If any man's work abide which he hath built thereupon, he shall receive a reward. If any man's work shall be burned, he shall suffer loss: but he himself will be saved; yet so as by fire." 1 Corinthians 3:13-15

This is an absolutely awesome Truth, that will bring peace and rest to us that passes all understanding! Everything we do may not measure up, but so what! It doesn’t matter, it will be removed from us, and even if God must burn things out of us before we can enter Heaven, we will still have eternal life with Him, and we will be saved. God is either going to prune it out of us while we are on this earth, or He is going to burn it out of us before we get into Heaven! Either way the dead works are gone from us and through God’s power we will be free from them! How great is that? This is part of an abundant life, God will insure that we are clean, and nothing, I mean nothing, will ever stand in our way from being who God wants us to be!

God does not double talk, and every Word that He has spoken is Truth. “For in that He died, He died unto sin once: but in that He liveth, He liveth unto God. Likewise reckon ye also yourselves to be dead indeed unto sin, but alive unto God through Jesus Christ our Lord.” Romans 6:10-11 God is not going to tell us to consider ourselves to be dead to sin, just like Jesus is dead to sin, and then tell us that we can fall away. Sin is dead for us, it has been destroyed for us and all of its abilities against us have been removed. Jesus has triumphed over it. Sin is what separates us from God; sin is what caused man to fall away in the first place, and sin and all of its powers have been destroyed for us. God tells us to consider ourselves dead to it, because we are dead to it! "Being born again, not of corruptible seed, but of incorruptible, by the Word of God, which liveth and abideth forever." 1 Peter 1:23 How is it that someone who is born again from the very Seed of God, His Incorruptible Seed, could fall away? Can an apple become a pear? What we are born of, we are born of. The Seed that bore us cannot be corrupted, it cannot fall away, all of the abilities that we had to fall away from God have been destroyed for us by our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ! Because of Jesus our Good Shepherd, Who every lives to intercede for us so that we may be saved to the uttermost, we are eternally assured fellowship with our Father! We have life abundantly because of the power of our Head and no weapon that has been formed that will try to prevent it will ever prosper!

It Is Impossible For The Saved To Fall Away

"For it is impossible for those who were once enlightened, and have tasted of the heavenly gift, and were made partakers of the Holy Ghost, And have tasted the good word of God, and the powers of the world to come, If they shall fall away, to renew them again unto repentance, seeing they crucify to themselves the Son of God afresh, and put Him to an open shame." Hebrews 6:4-6

How many times have you heard someone preach repentance to backsliders? Or have you ever heard an alter call for backsliders? I have heard it preached, and I have heard that alter call my whole life. Well, according to God’s Word, if someone has truly been saved and falls away, then there is no way for them to come back! A couple of years ago the Holy Ghost really started dealing with me concerning who we are in Christ. He showed me that we have been born again of God’s Incorruptible Seed; He showed me that we are sealed by Him, sealed and preserved until the day of Christ’s return. “And the Lord shall deliver me from every evil work, and will preserve me unto his heavenly kingdom: to whom be glory for ever and ever. Amen.” 2 Timothy 4:18 God showed me that all of the principalities and powers that were against us have been destroyed, and that they have been made of a shew of openly at the Cross, and He showed me that Jesus has been triumphant over all of the forces that could cause us to stumble! The Holy Ghost showed me how we have been saved from the power, presence, pleasure, and penalty of sin, and He showed me that it was Jesus shepherding us through this life and that it is God pruning out all that is against us! The Holy Ghost really revealed the Truth to me that we are crucified with Christ, and nevertheless we live; yet it is not us living, but Christ in us that now lives! And the Holy Ghost also showed me and gave me the strength and ability to accept and believe that we just weren’t in fellowship with God, but that we had actually been permitted to be part of God, partakers of His Holy Spirit because of our salvation through Jesus Christ our Lord!

These Truth’s of who we are now in Christ, along with all of the others we have studied so far, now allow me to read this verse through God’s eyes, and I now read this verse and see that it is impossible for us to fall away from God, once we are truly saved and have become partakers of His Holy Spirit! We better hope this is what salvation means, or else one mess up, and there is no coming back! The Holy Ghost made it so simple for me to understand, He had been sharing repeatedly with me all of the verses we have been studying. He had been having me read them and study them over and over gain, and then He simply asked me, if someone could fall away, than wouldn’t that mean that they had fooled God in the first place? Once He asked me that, it just all fell into place! There will be many who will fall away from church and religion, but no one who has actually made Jesus Lord and who have become partakers of God’s Holy Spirit will ever fall away! They can’t, our body that could be affected by sin, or our body that could fall away, the body that could be separated from God, has been destroyed. Our old self has been crucified with Christ, our old sinful self hasn’t been placed in storage, available for future use, it’s been destroyed! We are now part of Jesus’ body. “For we are members of His body, of His flesh, and of His bones.” Ephesians 5:30 We are members of Jesus’ body and Jesus’ body will never be separated from God, it has been glorified and the only reason He lives, is because God lives within Him, and we are now one with Him!

God's Seed Destroys Sins Power

"Whosoever is born of God doth not commit sin; for His seed remaineth in him: and he cannot sin, because he is born of God." 1 John 3:9

We cannot sin because God’s Incorruptible Seed remains within us and it continually destroys the power of sin and death to harm us! "Being born again, not of corruptible seed, but of incorruptible, by the Word of God, which liveth and abideth forever." 1 Peter 1:23 God’s Seed lives and abides forever within us, and since it does, we are longer destroyed by the power of sin. The same power that will keep us from sin in Heaven, is keeping us free from sin now, and that power is God! Through the power of God that now works exceedingly and abundantly within us, the power, presence, pleasure, and penalty of sin has been destroyed for us! We are now righteous apart from any of our own works and even though the law of sin and death is still in the world, we are free from it! Just as the Germans are free from the law of speeding on their Autobahn!

"I have written unto you, fathers, because ye have known Him that is from the beginning. I have written unto you, young me, because ye are strong, and the Word of God abideth in you, and ye have overcome the wicked one." 1 John 2:14 The Word of God, the sharp two-edged sword of God now abides within us, and through it, God has destroyed the wicked one and all of his power over us. There is now no weapon that is formed against us that can prosper, and through the Word that eternally loves us and lives to intercede for us, we are more than conquerors as we are saved to the uttermost! Jesus has destroyed every last little bit of sins power over us! God cannot permit any power of sin to be within us, because a little of it, would make us completely sinful. And a little sin would be all that it takes to separate us from God, and because of Jesus there will never be any separation! To insure it, God had to destroy sin for us, and He had to destroy our bodies that could be affected by it! God has done all that is needed for us to be completely and totally free from sin. Faith comes from hearing the Truth, and the Truth sets us free!
