"And hereby we do know that we know Him, if we keep His commandments. He that saith, I know Him, and keepeth not His commandments, is a liar, and the truth is not in him. But whoso keepeth His word, in him verily is the love of God perfected: hereby know we that we are in Him. He that saith he abideth in Him ought himself also so to walk, even as He walked." 1 John 2:3-6
Our Father proclaims that we are to walk as Jesus walked. “I am crucified with Christ, nevertheless I live, yet not I, but Christ liveth in me, and the life 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 “For ye are dead, and your life is hid with Christ in God.” Colossians 3:3 “Likewise reckon ye also yourselves to be dead indeed unto sin, but alive unto God through Jesus Christ our Lord.” Romans 6:11 “For we are members of His body, of His flesh, and of His bones.” Ephesians 5:30

If these verses are really true, how can’t we walk like Jesus? There is a freedom here in our Father's Truth that is not being enjoyed by the Church. God has provided a rest for us from our own works and we need to talk about it, faith will come that will set the captives free! The yoke of walking as Jesus walked is easy, because our faith is Authored and Finished by Jesus. It is the king of Kings Who is alive within us and He causes us to walk as He walks!
Our Father has really been showing me that we preach against the symptoms and not the problem. We look at someone who may be struggling with sin and we preach against that particular sin. When in reality the problem is that the person does not have God in their life to keep them from the uncleanness. The symptom may be cured, but if the problem isn’t fixed and the union with God accepted, another sin will arise. “When the unclean spirit is gone out of a man, he walketh through dry places, seeking rest; and finding none, he saith, I will return unto my house whence I came out. And when he cometh, he findeth it swept and garnished. Then goeth he, and taketh to him seven other spirits more wicked than himself; and they enter in, and dwell there: and the last state of that man is worse than the first.” Luke 11:24-26
So many of us believe that we will always struggle with human weakness until Jesus returns, but from the Truth’s of God that we have studied, we can see that this kind of thinking is false. Our Father said that He would keep us; and man, if God keeps us, we are kept! Through Christ, Who we are now one with, we have God’s perfect love, we have access to the holiest, we have sanctification, glory, power, and eternal faith, hope, and love! Through Jesus, our Father has saved us to the uttermost. Jesus now ever lives to intercede for us. We now have the mind of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. We are now the Temples of God. Jesus is now our Shepherd and God is now our Dad. We are as He is, because we are born of His seed, so are we in this world! Salvation is more than what is being preached and in Jesus’ Name that is done away with today! Father I ask You that You allow laborers to boldly proclaim Your Truth everywhere, and anyone who is preaching anything but the Truth, let them be cursed! “As we said before, so say I now again, if any man preach any other gospel unto you than that ye have received, let him be accursed.” Galatians 1:9
Jesus is Lord and all who are empowered by the Holy Spirit to call on the Name of The Lord, shall be saved!
