Not by works of righteousness which we have done, but according to His mercy He saved us, by the washing of regeneration, and renewing of the Holy Ghost: Which He shed on us abundantly through Jesus Christ our Savior; Titus 3:5-6
Our Father has given us the Holy Spirit abundantly! We are now heirs with Jesus. We are now saved. We are now God’s children. We are now perfect. We are now pure. We are now sanctified. We are now holy and we can go on and on about the power that we now have through Christ. We all talk about Jesus, and we should, we absolutely should praise Him, glorify Him, thank Him, worship and honor Him, it’s all because of Him. But when we think of His absolute glory and power, we have to remember that He gave us all of it and has made us one with it as well. Jesus held nothing back from us. We have the complete fullness of God just as Jesus does. We are one with Jesus and the only reason that we are alive is because He is alive within us. It can be no other way; we are what Jesus is. We are born of the same seed, we are anointed with the same anointing, we have the same Spirit, and praise God we are heirs with Him! He is our Vine that produces much fruit through us!
People are hurting, they are scared, confused, sick, angry, and they need to know that our Father is ready, willing, and able to do all things for them. Religion is not working for the world! Too often we shy away from talking about the Holy Spirit being one with us. Religion believes that it sounds too far-fetched. We are told to be cautious. The fear being that if we talk like this people may be turned off. My God, they need to hear it, they don't need some watered down version of salvation, they need to hear it as God's Word proclaims it!
What will do more damage, telling it like our Father tells it or watering down the message, giving just enough Truth to tickle the ear? Our Father says that He will spew the lukewarm ones out of His mouth, Revelation 3:15. Look how Jesus talked to the people, they did not have the Holy Ghost, and they had never seen or heard anything like what He was saying. Jesus never watered down anything. They wanted to throw Him over a cliff for what He was teaching. So why is there now so much concern over running people off with the absolute Truth? Wolves in sheep’s clothing, having a form of godliness, but denying the power of it, ever learning but never coming to the knowledge of the Truth is why!
Religion has failed, our Father has not. We have been empowered to talk as our Father talks; because His Word is alive within us! God’s Word will not fall void to the earth. Heaven and earth will pass away, but the Word will still be. So if our Father said we are justified it’s so. If God said perfect, preserved, heirs, glorified, and sanctified, regardless of what we think, these verses are Truth and they will set us free.
For both He that sanctifieth and they who are sanctified are all of one: for which cause He is not ashamed to call them brethren. Hebrews 2:11
