God's Salvation Is Exceeding Abundant

“Now unto Him that is able to do exceeding abundantly above all that we ask or think, according to the power that worketh in us,” Ephesians 3:20

Do you see it, do you see what all of the scriptures that we have studied so far are saying? In Jesus' name the Holy Ghost is revealing to us who we are in Christ Jesus this day! In Jesus' name the Spirit is revealing to us the complete power of the sacrifice of the Cross for us. We have the strength of God Himself within us insuring that we can know completely the full love of God! We have the full strength of God Himself within us allowing Him to do more through us than we can ever even begin to pray for or dream of! And why does God do all of this for us, so that all of the world may believe and walk in Jesus' complete salvation. All of the world, young and old, male and female, and each and every nationality! “That they all may be one; as Thou Father, art in Me, and I in Thee, that they also may be one in us: that the world may believe that Thou hast sent Me. And the glory which Thou gavest Me I have given them; that they may be one, even as We are One. 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 17:21- 23

God is able to do exceeding abundantly above all that we ask, and He does it by His power that is within us! How cool is that? Exceedingly abundantly: perfect, whoever, whatsoever, all, and now, these are the Words that God uses concerning us. John 14:12, "Verily, verily, I say unto you. He that believeth on Me, the works that I do shall he do also; and greater works than these shall he do; because I go unto My Father."

Man has absolutely no ability on his own to be perfect, but with God, who can do above all that we ask or think, we are perfect and we are filled with all of our Fathers fullness! This is where so many in religion loose it. They want to limit God’s ability to be successful through us. People want to believe that God’s success is limited to our ability to believe and accept His Truths. There are many who preach that we only have as much as we can believe for. That preaching is flat out wrong! We are limited only to God’s ability to believe and His abilities are limitless. We have been strengthened with God’s Anointing, so that He can fill us with all of His fullness, so that He can do far more through us than we can ask or think of!

Jesus Dwells WIthin Us By Faith

"That He would grant you, according to the riches of His glory, to be strengthened with might by His Spirit in the inner man; That Christ may dwell in your hearts by faith; that ye, being rooted and grounded in love, May be able to comprehend with all saints what is the breadth, and length, and depth, and height; And to know the love of Christ, which passeth knowledge, that ye might be filled with all the fullness of God. Now unto Him that is able to do exceeding abundantly above all that we ask or think, according to the power that worketh in us, Unto Him be glory in the church by Christ Jesus throughout all ages, world without end. A-men." Ephesians 3:16-21

Through Christ we have been strengthened with the might of the Holy Spirit, so we are now able to be filled with all the fullness of God! We are not partially filled with God, we are not somewhat filled with God, we are not filled with just as much of God as a human can handle, O no, God wants us filled completely with all of His fullness. Our Father is God, He is everywhere, He knows all, sees all, has all power, and a-men He wants us filled with all of Himself. I know that sounds big, but look at what John writes in 1 John 4:17, "Herein is our love made perfect, that we may have boldness in the day of judgment: because as He is, so are we in this world." As God our Father is, so are we in this world. The only way that we can be as God is, is to be filled completely with His fullness. On our own we have no capacity whatsoever to even be somewhat like God, yet God had John proclaim that as He is, so are we in this world.

Jesus has the fullness of God within Him and we now have Jesus within us! “Jesus saith unto him, Have I been so long time with you, and yet hast thou not known me, Philip? he that hath seen me hath seen the Father; and how sayest thou then, Show us the Father?” John 14:9 Jesus was able to say this because He was born of God and because He was filled with God. Jesus was perfectly God because He was One with God. Now we are one with God through Jesus and just as Jesus is perfected by the presence of God, so are we! Not by works, least any man should boast, but because of the abundance of God’s grace! We are perfected in Christ because the Blood of Christ continually allows God to exert His influence on our souls, strengthening us in His faith and love!

Godley Hope Never Dissappoints Us

"Such hope never disappoints or deludes or shames us, for God's love has been poured out in our hearts through the Holy Spirit Who has been given us." Romans 5:5 Amplified Bible

Hope in the Truth of God never disappoints or shames us! Wow! Hope never disappoints us! God has poured His love into our hearts and we will never be ashamed or disappointed! Faith is the evidence of things hoped for, the substance of things not seen, and hope in God’s Word never disappoints us! Satan has crept into religion; He is a wolf in sheep’s clothing. “Beware of false prophets, which come to you in sheep's clothing, but inwardly they are ravening wolves.” Matthew 7:15 Satan uses false prophets who speak softly, they profess that perfection in Christ is arrogance, that we can agree to disagree, and that we are only men. This is why God is having us going over scripture after scripture that proclaim His Truth that has set us free. God’s Word says something entirely different. So if we can get people to read the Truth of who we are now in Christ, hope will come, then faith, true faith, Authored and Finished by Jesus Himself! Jesus will Author His faith through us that will allow Him to transform the world. Faith that will set the captives free, faith that will allow God to do the works through us that He did through Jesus, and which will allow our Father to do even greater works because Jesus has been raised from the dead! This is why God keeps me writing and talking about these verses. God wants people to hope for the Truth, and how can we hear the Truth without a preacher, and how can we preach the Truth without the Word! And Praise God we are all able bodied ministers through the strength of our Lord and Savior Jesus!

What God Has Called Us To Be

“(As it is written, I have made thee a father of many nations,) before him whom he believed, even God, Who quickeneth the dead, and calleth those things which be not as though they were.” Romans 4:17

Our Father calls things that are not as though they are, and they become what He proclaims they are. And our Father has proclaimed that through Christ we are now and forevermore one with Him. God has proclaimed that we are glorious, that we are as He is, and that we are sanctified and perfected by the Blood of Christ; these are the things that God has proclaimed for us. God has proclaimed that we now have the mind of Christ that dares to profess that we are filled with all of His fullness! God has given us a heart and a Spirit that dares to believe that He is powerful and loving enough to provide all of these things for us! We have the Spirit of Jesus within us that dares to ask God for all that He has and is, so that the world may believe in Him as their Savior! Faith is the evidence of things hoped for! And these are the things that our Father hopes for us to be, and through Christ and the Holy Spirit, He will cause us to be! Today is the Day of our Salvation and now is our accepted time. Our Father is greater within us than anything or any situation that is in the world and there is absolutely no weapon that has been formed against us that can ever prosper! Jesus has born every one of our sicknesses and diseases today and by His stripes we are healed of every last ailment! Our Fathers perfect love casts out all fear from within us and through Christ we are able to be used to be more than conquerors as we have life and have it abundantly! This is who God has called us to be! We are blessed completely in the power of our Father might!

We Are Secured In Gods Love

“May Christ through your faith [actually] dwell (settle down, abide, make His permanent home) in your hearts! May you be rooted deep in love and founded securely on love, That you may have the power and be strong to apprehend and grasp with all the saints [God's devoted people, the experience of that love] what is the breadth and length and height and depth [of it]; [That you may really come] to know [practically, through experience for yourselves] the love of Christ, which far surpasses mere knowledge [without experience]; that you may be filled [through all your being] unto all the fullness of God [may have the richest measure of the divine Presence, and become a body wholly filled and flooded with God Himself]!” Ephesians 3:17-19 Amplified Bible

We don’t just live in the Love of God, we actually know the love of our Father! We are rooted in it, we are secure in it, and we are one with it! We are strong in God’s love and it works through us in every area of our lives! Through the love of God, which we are now one with, we are filled with the richest measure of our Fathers Divine presence and we are bodies wholly filled and flooded with God Himself! This is how greatly God has accepted us, that we are filled with all of Him! Our Father has held nothing back from us! We live with the very glory that Jesus has. We now have the mind of Christ; we are now His body, His flesh, and His bones. We live with complete knowledge and wisdom because we now have the Holy Ghost dwelling within us, Who teaches us all things, and we live abundantly because we are filled with the fullness of God.

“Herein is our love made perfect, that we may have boldness in the day of judgment: because as He is, so are we in this world.” 1 John 4:17

Jesus had all of these Truths fully realized within Him while He was on earth as a man, because God accepted Him and because He was One with God! And we have all of these Truths because our Father has now accepted us and because we are now one with Him through Jesus our Lord and Savior. Jesus had all of these things because He was perfect; He was born of God and He was God in the flesh! Well, we have been born again from God’s Incorruptible Seed, the same Seed that bore our Savior and raised Him from the dead has chosen and birthed us. We are now His body. Our Father accepts Jesus completely and we are now Jesus’ body, so God accepts us completely! Who Jesus is, we are, and what Jesus is, we are; we have been freely given these glorious attributes through grace. The only thing that Jesus has that we don’t, is sovereignty. Jesus is the Lord; we are the Lords body! He is the Christ; we are one with the Christ! Jesus is the Head, He is the Vine, we are the body and the branches, but everything else that He has, He has given to us! And we are secured and empowered eternally by our Father love, just as Jesus is!

We Are Accepted In Christ

"To the praise of the glory of His grace, wherein He hath made us accepted in the beloved." Ephesians 1:6

God hath made us accepted in Christ and since He has, it brings praises to the glory of our Fathers grace! Through the power of Christ we are a Church without spot, without wrinkle, and without blemish. “That He might present it to Himself a glorious church, not having spot, or wrinkle, or any such thing; but that it should be holy and without blemish.” Ephesians 5:27 We have been made glorious in our oneness with Christ. The Spirit of God that raised Jesus from the dead has now quickened our mortal bodies and our flesh, and all of the evils that were associated with it have been destroyed. “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 Yet even though our old man has been destroyed, we still live, and live abundantly, full of faith, hope, and most of all full of love. We now live in the love and posses the love that God has for Jesus. We live in the love of God that covers a multitude of sins, the love that allows the Gifts of the Spirit to flow through our lives, the perfect love of God that casts out all fear! A-men, we now live in God’s love! “And I have declared unto them Thy name, and will declare it: that the love wherewith Thou hast loved Me may be in them, and I in them.” John 17:26 Hallelujah, we live continually united and one with the love that God has for His Son Jesus. Through Christ we are accepted and it brings praise to the grace of our Father!

We Serve Our Father Through The Spirit, Not Through Laws

“Are ye so foolish? having begun in the Spirit, are ye now made perfect by the flesh?” Galatians 3:3

Man made laws are not the tools that unlock the favor and blessings of God! What pleases our Father is for us to serve Him through the power of His Spirit that now dwells eternally within us. We are now empowered by the very Spirit of God to allow Jesus, our Lord and Savior, to Author and Finish our faith in believing that He is, and that He is a rewarder of those of us who have been chosen. We have been empowered by the Holy Spirit to have Jesus leading us and guiding us in the paths of our Father's righteousness!

If we truly want to change the attitudes of the world, it is not accomplished by influencing governments to pass laws. It is accomplished by God using us as lamps on the side of the hills! The weapons of our warfare are spiritual and they are mighty to the bringing down of strongholds. We change the world by showing them Christ and by proclaiming our Father's Word of Truth that does not fall void to the earth. In America we have passed laws that resemble the Ten Commandments and every year the crimes against those laws abound. We need to stop trying to pass laws that attempt to force righteousness and allow our Father to show the world Jesus through us. So that the presence, pleasure, penalty, and power of sin will be destroyed and then people will be truly be set free. Laws didn’t allow the Israelites to become one with God and be free, and laws won’t allow us to either. Why Christians are so concerned with passing laws always stumps me. We weren’t set free and saved by a law, why do we think that laws will now bring the favor and blessings of God into our lives?

Are we so foolish? having begun in the Spirit, are we now made perfect by laws? There is no fear for us, and we don’t need laws to protect us; God is for us, who can be against us! Our Father doesn’t pour His favor on us because we have laws that resemble the Ten Commandments. Our Father pours His blessings on us because we are His kids and we have been enabled to believe in Jesus. We are blessed because the Holy Spirit has empowered us to accept Jesus as Lord! Be blessed and where are energies and efforts are, that is where are hearts will be as well!

Jesus Is A Stumblingstone To The Ungodly

“Wherefore? Because they sought it not by faith, but as it were by the works of the law. For they stumbled at that stumblingstone; As it is written, Behold, I lay in Sion a stumblingstone and rock of offence: and whosoever believeth on Him shall not be ashamed.” Romans 9:32-33

Jesus is called the stumbling stone. When we talk about perfection, holiness, glory, and honor, people tend to immediately think of human works and efforts as the forces that bring these things to pass. This type of belief is the stumbling stone and the rock of offense that is Jesus, because these things are only obtained by faith and not by works! The great humbling Truth is this; even our faith is not a human work, because our faith is Authored and Finished by Jesus. We have boldness and access to true Holiness through the free gift of Jesus’ Blood. We are as He is, because He is Who He is, and He is now is within us. Jesus has chosen us to be one with Him, without fault and without blame. Jesus paid a high price to buy our redemption! Don’t stumble at who we are in Christ, because of who you think we are in the flesh. Our flesh is not the force that brings the blessings of God into our lives; Jesus’ flesh is, and His flesh has accomplished it all. There is no need for us to ever stumble, we have the Anointing of God within us, strengthening us with the Truth and the Truth sets us free! God has placed His Spirit within us, and He will lead us into the paths of righteousness, and He will cause us to walk in His ways. Through Christ God can now do all things through us, and without Christ we can do nothing! The Blood of Jesus has made us all of these things!Faith comes from hearing and hearing from the Word of God! The Word of God is what allows us to walk in this revelation of the power of Jesus’ Blood. The Spirit will lead us into the paths of righteousness that the Word of God holds for us, and through the power of Christ (the Anointing), God will be able to do all things through us! Our part is to be used by God, to have Jesus to Author and Finish the faith in our lives, and be the branches that bear the fruit that the Vine produces. Jesus is our Head and we are His body. The Head directs, leads, unifies, and allows the body to walk in perfection. Remember faith is not the human ability to believe God and thus unlock the riches and power of His Kingdom; faith is from God and it is His key, that He Authors and Finishes through us, to unlock the power and victory of His Kingdom! Through Jesus we are now holy and blameless before God in love! Through Jesus we are now one with God Himself, flesh of His flesh, and bone of His bone! Ephesians 5:30-32

How God Truly Is

“They say to Him, Master, this woman was taken in adultery, in the very act.” John 8:4,

You want to see a picture of how God really is; well here is a great one! “When Jesus had lifted up Himself and saw none but the woman, He said unto her, woman, where are those thine accusers? Hath no man condemned thee? She said, no man, Lord. And Jesus said unto her, Neither do I condemn thee: go, and sin no more.” John 8:10-11

Not only didn’t Jesus condemn this woman who had committed adultery, who had every right to be condemned, He was able to run off all of those who could condemn her! This verse shows us plainly how God is; He is compassionate. He knows who we are and how we are, and God knows what to do about it. God doesn’t want to condemn us; He doesn’t want to be separated from us. So to insure that He didn’t have to, He sent His Son, to make an everlasting sacrifice for us, so that we could stand before Him without blame! Through Christ we stand holy, sanctified, perfected, and all by the power of the Blood of Jesus Christ our Lord and Savior! Jesus did it all for us, so that as Romans 8:1 proclaims, “There is now therefore no condemnation for us who are in Christ Jesus!”

If there is now no condemnation for us who are in Christ Jesus, than there is now no fault for us who are in Christ Jesus! There is no fault for us because the Blood of Jesus has cleansed us from all unrighteousness. “Much more then, being now justified by His blood, we shall be saved from wrath through Him.” Romans 5:9 “In whom we have redemption through His blood, the forgiveness of sins, according to the riches of His grace;” Ephesians 1:7 “But now in Christ Jesus ye who sometimes were far off are made nigh by the Blood of Christ.” Ephesians 2:13 “Having therefore, brethren, boldness to enter into the holiest by the Blood of Jesus,” Hebrews 10:19

People may call us arrogant for confessing that we are perfect, holy, spotless, sanctified, and glorified in Christ, as all of these scriptures have proclaimed that we are. But we have to be extremely humble to confess and believe them, because all of the glory is totally directed towards Jesus, only He can do it, there is absolutely nothing we can do to even begin to scratch the surface to possess such awesome attributes. Humility does not mean tearing ourselves down, true humility is saying yes to Jesus and accepting and confessing we that possess all that He went to the cross to give us. We have been redeemed by the Blood of Christ! Redemption means that someone else did it for us, the ransom was paid for us by Jesus and true humility, not arrogance, accepts this Truth and directs all of the attention towards Him!

We Are Holy And Blameless In Christ

"According as He hath chosen us in Him before the foundation of the world, that we should be holy and without blame before Him in love:" Ephesians 1:4

We have studied together so many times that our Father boldly proclaims that through the power of Christ we have been glorified!

“And the glory which Thou gavest Me I have given them; that they may be one, even as We are One.” John 17:22

We have seen in the Word of God that we are perfect through our oneness with Christ. “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 have seen that all things are now new for us. “Therefore if any man be in Christ, he is a new creature: old things are passed away; behold, all things are become new.” 2 Corinthians 5:17

And here in Ephesians 1 we see that our Father has chosen us and that we are holy and without blame before Him. God’s Truths are awesome, plain and simply awesome! The Blood of Christ is working so  strongly for us, no work can justify what the Blood of Christ, shed on the cross, has so freely bestowed upon us. The Holy Spirit that is within us will give us the strength and confidence in the Truth that through Christ we are living a life without any blame!

We tend to talk about this lifestyle of perfection and blamelessness in the future tense, when we are in Heaven, but the Truth that will set us free is that our Father is more than willing and able to cause us to live this way right now! We can never earn this own our own, through our own efforts, but through Christ we freely have it. It’s an easy yoke to be borne, because we have been empowered to simply look unto Jesus to Author and Finish our faith! Through Christ we stand before our Father blameless, apart from any work, with free and complete redemption through the power of Jesus Christ our Lord and Savior! Our Father chose to have us because He is able and willing to do these glorious things through us! Our Father knew the way to make us glorious and holy, and our Father gave us the way, the Light, and the Truth, and Jesus is the only way!

"Now He which stablisheth us with you in Christ, and hath anointed us is God; Who hath also sealed us, and given the earnest of the Spirit in our hearts." 2 Corinthians 1:21-22

We Are Sealed With The Holy Spirit

"Now He which stablisheth us with you in Christ, and hath anointed us is God; Who hath also sealed us, and given the earnest of the Spirit in our hearts." 2 Corinthians 1:21-22

We now have Christ permanently living within us; we are now one with Him, so we can’t help but to walk in His Spirit. We have been sealed by the very Spirit of our Father. We have been Anointed by God, and He can now do all things through us by the power of His Anointing that strengthens us! Our Father has established us with His Anointing. He has sealed us with His Spirit. He has called us. He has chosen us, He has justified us, He has glorified us, and what can we say to all of this? Our Father, Who is God is for us, who or what, can be against us!

“And grieve not the Holy Spirit, whereby ye are sealed unto the day of redemption.” Ephesians 4:30

We are sealed by the Spirit of our Father until the day of our redemption. Well if we are sealed, that isn’t from the inside, that is from the outside. Think of a plastic baggie, the zip lock kind, that is sealed, think about Tupperware, that is sealed. Well we are sealed, so we can’t help but walk in the Spirit. Once again we see that it is our Father telling us to do something and again we see that it is God empowering us with Himself to do it. We can do all things through Christ that strengthens us! A-men!

We Are One With Love

“For all of the law is fulfilled in one word, even this; Thou shalt love thy neighbor as thyself.” Galatians 5:14

God has Paul write that love covers all of the requirements of a godly life. Our Father is love and we are born again of Him, we are born again of love. Now if God is Love, then His Spirit is love. So if we walk in Love, we shall not fulfill the lust of the flesh, right? Well, turn again to John 17:26 and let’s see what Jesus said. “And I have declared unto them Thy name, and will declare it: that the love wherewith Thou hast loved Me may be in them, and I in them.”

To insure that we walk in the Spirit, which is Love, so that we don’t fulfill the lust of the flesh, God gave us His very Own love. Jesus said that is why He declared God to the people and will declare Him; so that we could have the very thing that will allow us to walk in perfection, love! Nowhere does God ever write that we can’t have His level of love. Jesus said that He declared God’s name and that He will continue to declare it, so that God’s love may be in us. Well, Jesus is still declaring God and His Spirit remains in our hearts, crying out Father. Jesus does this so that we can spend eternity with Him from the moment that we are chosen and empowered to say yes to Him. That is the timeline of our salvation, from that point of acceptance throughout all of eternity, not from the time when we get to heaven on. We walk one with God from the very instant that He chose us and we accepted Him, that is when He empowered us to begin to walk in His Spirit, that is the very moment that we became eternally one with our Fathers love!

We Walk In The Holy Spirit

"This I say then, walk in the Spirit, and ye shall not fulfill the lust of the flesh." Galatians 5:16

Remember how we have seen in our Father's Word that wherever we find a verse that instructs us to do something, we can find other verses that proclaim that is God within us given us His power, His will, and His ability to accomplish it. Well there is definitely no exception here in Galatians 5! We are told that we are to walk in the Spirit, and if we do, then we will not fulfill the lust of the flesh. So what does our Father have to say about enabling us with Himself to only walk in His Spirit?

First God says, "And I will put My Spirit within you, and cause you to walk in My statutes, and ye shall keep My judgments, and do them. And ye shall dwell in the land I gave your fathers; and ye shall be My people, and I will be your God. I will also save you from all your uncleannesses:" Ezekiel 36:27-28

We are to walk in the Spirit and here we see that our Father has placed His Spirit within us to cause us to walk in His statutes and to keep His judgments! Our Father gave us His Spirit so that we will do what is right and so that He can save us from all of our uncleanness! Our Father is God and we are not alone in our fight to live right. We have the Spirit of the Living God within us causing us to do what is right, so that we will not fulfill the lust of the flesh! We are completely saved from hell and from ourselves because Jesus Christ is our Lord!

Secondly, Christ is now the One living within us. We have been crucified with Him, so we can only walk in the Spirit. “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 Our bodies which could sin have been destroyed by the power of Jesus’ perfect Blood. Romans 6:6.“ 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.”

So many of us want to wrestle with our flesh. But when we are empowered to truly ask God into our lives, even though we were dead in our sins, our Father quickens our mortal bodies. Our Father has put His Spirit within us and He will cause us to walk in His statutes and keep His judgments and do them. We no longer look unto ourselves, we look unto Jesus, the Author and Finisher of our faith and the Holy Spirit allows Him to be all that He is within us. Since we are saved, we are now only able to walk in the power of our Fathers Spirit! Because we are now part of and one with God’s body, Jesus Christ. We are one with His flesh and one with His bones. We are one with God!

Jesus Never Leaves Us Alone

“Let your conversation be without covetousness; and be content with such things as ye have: for He hath said, I will never leave thee, nor forsake thee.” Hebrews 13:5

Jesus is dwelling in our hearts right now; we are never alone. Jesus will never leave us or forsake us. If we have a problem, Jesus is right here with us, our problems are His problems. When Jesus was on the earth as a man and He came upon a problem, what did He do about it? Did He walk away, no, He stopped and solved it, even when the problem was a naked guy who lived in a tomb, who could break the chains that bound him! Did Jesus condemn the people who had the problems, no! Even when the person was caught in a sin, He simply said go and sin no more! Did Jesus say that it was our Father's will that the person who had the problem continually stay in it, no! He said that satan came to kill, steal, and destroy, but that God sent Him so that we might have life and have it more abundantly! Jesus healed the sick, raised the dead, changed the weather, gave specific answers to specific problems, told the demons where to go, turned water to wine, and Jesus only spoke the Word of God. Jesus never stood passively by, He was and is action oriented; Jesus is the answer man! When Jesus went to His hometown and tried to heal the sick and the people rejected is offering, He simply marveled at their unbelief. Jesus did not condemn them and even though He marveled at their unbelief, He never condemned them. And remember this, before He marveled, He had first tried to serve them. Even though He knew what they were going to do, He still offered! Jesus is the same yesterday, today, and forever, He changes not, Malachi 3:6! If Jesus was that way back then, He is that way today. Jesus ever lives to intercede for us! And Jesus is always moved by His compassion for us!

This is Who we have living within us, this is what He is like, and just like 2000 years ago, Jesus marvels if people will not let Him help them. Yet the great thing about Jesus is, give Him the least bit of an opportunity and Help is right there! The great Truth for those of us who have been chosen and baptized with the Holy Spirit is that we have our Father's Spirit within us causing us to accept Jesus’ help. We now have a Spirit and heart to take Jesus for all He is, we are empowered to ask by God Himself, and it is given to us. We are empowered with God Himself to seek, and because we are, we always find. We knock and the door is always opened. For all of God’s children who ask, receive, and all who seek find, and all who knock, the door is opened! All things now work together for our good through the perfect love that our Father has for us through Jesus Christ, our Lord and Savior. This is the Truth that is now in our hearts, this is what is crying out for us, this is salvation, and there is no down side to our salvation!

We have absolutely the most powerful and loving Being on our side, period! God's very Spirit cries out from within us of the greatness of who we are in Him. Together with Christ and through the power that comes from being one with Him, God is able and willing to cause us to walk in complete and total victory, ever pleasing to Him, without spot, without wrinkle, and without blemish. We are united with Jesus and there is no weapon formed that will prosper against us. With Jesus we have peace that passes all understanding, and with Jesus we have unity with each other. This unity will allow salvation to flourish around the world. We are now one with The One! We now are partakers of His Divine Nature and Jesus will never leave us or forsake us!

Faith

“So then faith cometh by hearing, and hearing by the Word of God.” Romans 10:17

Faith comes for us by hearing the Truth that we are now the sons of God and that we are now the heirs of God. We need to share the scriptures daily with each other and we need to pray that those whom God has brought into our lives will rest in the Truth of who God has made us in Christ. We all need the encouragement of the Truth; the Word of God is Truth. The Truth of God will not fall void to the earth, and the Truth will set us free. “For the Word of God is quick, and sharper than any two-edged sword, piercing even to the dividing asssunder of soul and spirit, and of joints and marrow, and is a discerner of the thoughts and intents of the heart.” Hebrews 12:4 The Word of God is quick, it will rapidly change the hearts and minds and situations of those who are empowered by the Holy Spirit to find it! The Word of God will cut out all doubt from within us and it will quickly take over our hearts and fill us with the abundance of God’s Truth. God has proclaimed that He will give us a new heart, and the heart that is given by God is one that is filled with His eternal Word! The heart that we have from God rejoices in the glory of the Truth that we are now the heirs of God, just as Jesus is an heir of God. We are joint-heirs this day with Christ and we have the Spirit of Christ crying out this Truth from within us!

Jesus Causes Us To Have Abundant Hearts Of Righteousness

“A good man out of the good treasure of his heart bringeth forth that which is good; and an evil man out of the evil treasure of his heart bringeth forth that which is evil: for of the abundance of the heart his mouth speaketh.” Luke 6:45

Go back and review all of the verses that we have studied together so far. God’s Word clearly tells us that through Christ we are glorious, that we are perfected in Him, glorious through Him, and victorious with Him! Out of the abundance of our hearts our mouths will speak. And to insure that our hearts are filled with Jesus’ righteousness, God has sent the Spirit of His Son Jesus into our hearts, so that what is in abundance in our hearts will be the Truth that sets us free! No one knows better about being an heir than Jesus, and He has filled our hearts with the Word of God, and that is what our mouths speak! Our Father and our Savior are actively involved with insuring that what is in us is what is supposed to be within us!

It’s like a grape vine, the branch produces what the Vine gives it the power to produce. The branch doesn’t have to do anything except bare the fruit of the Vine. Without the Vine the branch is useless and withers and dies. But when a branch is one with the vine, it is alive and healthy producing much fruit! We are now one with the perfect Vine of Jesus Christ, and we now have the perfect Gardener of God protecting us and causing us to grow and ever produce more and more fruit! There is nothing lacking, God is able and willing to cause us to walk in His full righteousness and full glory, just as He has empowered and enabled Jesus to walk in them. God has made us one with Jesus and all that He is and all that He possesses we have been made to be partakers with! And out of the abundance of our new hearts we speak the Truth of God that sets us and the world free!

We Have Jesus' Spirit Within Us

"And because ye are sons, God hath sent forth the Spirit of His Son into your hearts, crying, Abba, Father. Wherefore thou art no more a servant, but a son, and if a son, then an heir of God through Christ." Galatians 4:6-7

It’s not hard for us to say that we are God’s children; actually it’s really easy. But to say that we are now God’s sons and to believe that we are actually heirs of God and that everything He has is now ours, takes faith. And praise God our faith is now Authored and Finished by Jesus, Who knows exactly what it means to be an heir of God! And what does an heir receive? He receives all that the Father has. “And he said unto him, Son, thou art ever with me, and all that I have is thine.” Luke 15:31 An heir receives all that the father has and our Father has far more than we can think of! Our Father has omnipotence, righteousness, love, power, power unspeakable, glory, honor, knowledge, wisdom, faith, light, victory in every situation, ability, and so much more. This is what we are heirs of and these things are only a fraction of what we have as God’s heirs! How awesome is that? Every great and wonderful thing that we praise God for being is ours as well! We are no longer hired hands; we are now the son’s and daughters of God. We are now the heirs of God and to insure that we think this way, God has sent His very Spirit into our hearts to tell us continually who we are in Him. We are ever with God, and all that He has in ours! “Now unto him that is able to do exceeding abundantly above all that we ask or think, according to the power that worketh in us,” Ephesians 3:20

We Have A New Righteous And Holy MInd

“And be renewed in the spirit of your mind; And that ye put on the new man, which after God is created in righteousness and true holiness.” Ephesians 4:23-24

We have been born again and by the power of Christ. And through the operation of God we have put on the new man that has been created just as the Alpha and Omega was created! The Beginning and the End, the Almighty, our Savior, Who is alive for evermore has perfected us by allowing us to become one with Him! Jesus lives within us and His voice thunders the Word of God through us and His brightness shines from within us! “Ye are the light of the world. A city that is set on an hill cannot be hid.” Matthew 5:14 We say so casually that we are saved, but the Truth that sets us free is that this is Who we are now one with! We have been created with the same righteousness that created Jesus, and we are now new creatures in the same holiness that glorifies Jesus! The Light of Jesus has driven out the darkness of sin that was within us! The keys of death and Hell are in our Saviors hands, and He has used them to set us free from the torment that they deliver! Jesus has set us free from death and hell by raising us up together with Himself! “And hath raised us up together, and made us sit together in heavenly places in Christ Jesus:” Ephesians 2:6

Let’s talk about the word Christ, which means the Anointing of God, for a minute. We use the word Christ a lot as Christians; so let’s make sure that we know what it means. When we read Jesus Christ, it means Jesus the Anointed One. So with that in mind we can accurately say, we have been baptized into the exact same Anointing as Jesus, we have put on the exact same Anointing that God used for Himself, when He came to the earth as a man! Take hold of that Truth, we have been given the exact same strength that God gave to Himself when He was here as a man! We are continually one with the exact same anointing that God gave to Jesus, so that He could work through Jesus! God has freely given us His glory and the Holy Spirit has made us alive together with the Anointing of God! We can do nothing without the Anointing, yet with it, we have been strengthened, just as Jesus was strengthened, so that God can do everything through us. God actually desires for us to be used by Him to do marvelous and miraculous things! “Herein is My Father glorified that ye bear much fruit, so shall ye be My disciples.” John 15:8

Father I ask You in Jesus’ Name to allow the mind that was in Christ to be in all of us, so that we will know just as powerfully as Jesus knew Who we are in You and Who You are in us! "Cease not to give thanks for you, making mention of you in my prayers; That the God of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of glory, may give unto you the spirit of wisdom and revelation in the knowledge of Him: The eyes of your understanding being enlightened; that ye may know what is the hope of His calling, and what the riches of the glory of His inheritance in the saints, and what is the exceeding greatness of His power to usward who believe, according to the working of His mighty power," Ephesians 1:16-19 In Jesus’ Name I ask You Father for the same things for us, that You enlighten us completely on being baptized into Christ so that we will know the greatness and power of Your Anointing within us this day! Father Your will be done!

Who We Are One With

“I am the Alpha and Omega, the Beginning and the Ending, saith the Lord, which is, and which was, and which is to come, the Almighty. Revelation 1:8

This is Who we are now one with! “I am He that liveth, and was dead; and, behold, I am alive evermore, A-men; and have the keys of hell and death.” Revelation 1:18 This is Who we have put on and Who we have been baptized with! “And in the midst of the seven candlesticks One like unto the Son of Man, clothed with a garment down to the foot, and girt about the paps with a golden girdle. His head and His hairs were white like wool, as white as snow; and His eyes were as a flame of fire; and His feet like unto fine brass, as if they burned in a furnace; and His voice as the sound of many waters. And He held in His right hand seven stars; and out of His mouth went a sharp two-edged sword: and His countenance was as the sun shineth in his strength. And when I saw Him, I fell at His feet as dead. And He said unto me, Fear not; I am the First and the Last.” Revelation 1:13-17 This is Who is in us and Who we are in, and this is Who we are perfected with!

This is the new creature that we have become with; we are now members of this body, of this flesh, and of this bone. We live, and were dead, and behold we are alive evermore! We are now one with the Alpha and Omega, the Beginning and the End, which was, and is to come the Almighty! We fear not, we are one with the First One and the Last One! As He has no Spirit of fear, neither do we. As He was perfected by the glory of God, so have we been perfected by the glory of God. As He serves God, so do we serve God. We are one with Him. Everything that Jesus is, we have been empowered by His Blood to become one with! Everything that He has, He has given to us and we are now partakers of His Divine nature and His Divine possessions! Praise God as He is, so are we, even on this earth! We are one with Jesus today and He came so that we might be used by God abundantly!

We Are Sealed By God Himself

“And grieve not the Holy Spirit, whereby ye are sealed unto the day of redemption.” Ephesians 4:30

How long has God proclaimed that He has sealed us for? According to God, He has sealed us with His Spirit until the day of redemption! The Holy Ghost doesn’t seal us for just a moment, or just as long as we act right, no way! God seals us until the day of redemption, when Jesus returns to the earth! We are new creatures in Christ, who have been sealed with the very Spirit of God! We have been made one with the very Anointing of God, and we are now the Temples of God, how awesome are these Truths? These Truths set us free and faith comes by us hearing these Truths! These Truths will set us free from fear, from sickness, from doubt, and from sin! “Likewise reckon ye also yourselves to be dead indeed unto sin, but alive unto God through Jesus Christ our Lord.” Romans 6:11 We are alive unto God, just as Jesus is alive unto God! We have been baptized with Christ and we have put on Christ! We are one with Him right now. We are not one with Who He was, we are one with Who He is! “And now O Father, glorify Thou Me with Thine Own self with the glory which I had with Thee before the world was.” John 17:5 Jesus has been raised from the dead, death has no more dominion over Him, and He now has the complete and full glory of God; this is Who we are now one with! So Just as Jesus is sealed from attack, so are we! Just as Jesus is sealed from sickness, so are we! Just as Jesus is sealed from all of the ills of the world, so are we! We have been sealed with the exact same Spirit of God that Jesus our Lord and Savior has been sealed with! “Peace I leave with you, my peace I give unto you: not as the world giveth, give I unto you. Let not your heart be troubled, neither let it be afraid.” John 14:27 Through Christ our Father has given us all things that pertain unto life and unto godliness!

We Are Baptized And We Are Forever One With Christ

"For ye are all the children of God by faith in Christ Jesus. For as many of you as have been baptized into Christ have put on Christ. There is neither Jew nor Greek, there is neither bond nor free, there is neither male nor female: for ye are all one in Christ Jesus" Galatians 3:26-28

The Greek word that we translate baptized from is baptizo. And as we have discussed before the best way to explain what baptizo means is to use an example of a cucumber becoming a pickle. A cucumber is submerged into the pickling spice and is forever changed, while it is still looks like a cucumber, it has taken on the characteristics of the spices and even has the pickling spices through it. The cucumber can never go back to being a cucumber; it has been forever changed into a pickle. This is how we now are in Christ, our old man has passed away, and behold the new man, created in God’s image, a partaker of His Divine Nature, has been born. We may physically look like our old selves, but we now have Christ in us, on us, through us, and we are now one with Christ, we can never go back. “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 have been crucified with Christ, nevertheless we live, yet it is not us who lives, it is Christ in us Who lives. Praise God we need to say this Truth out loud daily! “We are new creatures in Christ, we have put on Christ, old things are passed away for us, and behold all things have become new for us.” Thank God we have been baptized into Christ and we have put on Christ, and A-men, we are now one with Christ, sealed by the Holy Spirit of God, and we cannot go back! “In whom ye also trusted, after that ye heard the word of truth, the gospel of your salvation: in whom also after that ye believed, ye were sealed with that Holy Spirit of promise,” Ephesians 1:13

God Empowers Us To Serve Him

“Are ye so foolish? Having begun in the Spirit, are ye now made perfect by the flesh?" Galatians 3:3

This is an awesome scripture of Truth; does our flesh, or the things of our flesh, the old things, now make us perfect to serve God? All things are now of God for us, they are not of our flesh. Old things are passed away from us, and behold all things are now new! God does not use the old things of our lives to witness of His new things. Look at Paul’s ministry, how often does he talk about His old life when witnessing the new Truths of God? Out of all of the books in the New Testament that God had Paul write, not often, not often at all. “For we preach not ourselves, but Christ Jesus the Lord; and ourselves your servants for Jesus’ sake.” 2 Corinthians 4:5 “Brethren, I count not myself to have apprehended: but this one thing I do, forgetting those things which are behind, and reaching forth unto those things which are before,” Philippians 3:15

God chose us, and our Father has renewed us in the very image of Jesus our Lord and Savior, by allowing us to become one with and partakers of His very Own Divine Nature. We are now members of our Lords body, of His flesh, and of His bones. We were birthed by the Spirit of God and we now are one with the Spirit of God and the Spirit of our Father now leads us and strengthens us to be as Jesus is, even while we are on this earth. Our flesh has been quickened together with Christ, our old things were crucified with Jesus on the Cross, and we now live in newness of life just as Jesus lives in newness of life, as we ever serve our Father the Living God!

The Holy Spirit has empowered us to allow God to be Who He is in within us this day. Jesus loves us and He has given us the power to love each other just as God loves us.

All Things Are Now Of God For Us

“And all things are of God, Who hath reconciled us to Himself by Jesus Christ, and hath given us the ministry of reconciliation.” 2 Corinthians 5:18

In 2 Corinthians 5:17 God boldly proclaims that all of our old things have passed away, and that all things are now new for us. And then God boldly proclaims in the very next verse that all things for us are now of Him. We have been completely and totally reconciled with God through the power of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. Look at God, look at Who He is, and what He has, then you will see exactly what He has made us one with. “And to know the love of Christ, which passeth knowledge, that ye might be filled with all the fulness of God.” Ephesians 3:19 God has given us all of Himself and He has made us one with all of Himself. Our Father has held nothing back from us, and the love of His Anointing that now abides within us allows us to be filled with and united with all of His fullness! “And of His fullness have we all received, and grace for grace.” John 1:16 “And hath put all things under His feet, and gave Him to be the Head over all things to the church, Which is His body, the fulness of Him that filleth all in all.” Ephesians 1:22-23 We have been chosen by God, so that we might be the vessels of His honor as we are filled with and one with all of His fullness! We are the new creatures of God’s Anointing and through Christ we are now filled with all of the fullness our Father!

Satan is a wolf in sheep’s clothing, he has crept into the church and has deceived so many into believing that sickness is acceptable, that a little fear is alright, that it is alright that we agree to disagree, that the old things are still present, and one day all things will be new, but that day isn’t until we are in Heaven. This is why divorce is running rampant in the church, this is why we have hundreds of denominations, and this is why the saints are just as sick as those who are in the world! Go and read the Book of Acts, the sick used to flock to the Church to be healed, not to hear a sermon about how God wanted them sick, so they could minister to the sick! God has hade me write this before, and I am going to write it again, that is just plain wrong, or as Paul wrote, dung! Think about it, let’s say I had cancer, yet it was curable, would I really be able to go and witness to a non-curable cancer victim? Do I have to be gay, to minister to a homosexual? Do I have to be divorced to minister to someone divorced? Do we see in the Bible where God sent only Gentiles to minister to Gentiles? Can men only minister to men, or women to women? God said that we were healed by Jesus’ stripes; He never said that we were made sick by Jesus stripes! Satan has crept into the Church and made these things sound religious, and now so many of the people are being destroyed by a lack of knowledge! In the power of Jesus’ Name and with His Truth this ends this day! God is able to use us to witness by the power of His Spirit that is within us, not by the evils of this world that we have experienced! “But the Comforter, which is the Holy Ghost, Whom the Father will send in My name, He shall teach you all things, and bring all things to your remembrance, whatsoever I have said unto you.” John 14:26

What ABout Our Old Nature?

"Therefore if any man be in Christ, he is a new creature: old things are passed away; behold all things are become new." 2 Corinthians 5:17

If all things are now new for us, do we still have a sinful nature? No, that was part of our old nature and it was crucified with Christ and it has passed away; we now have the mind of Christ! “Knowing this, that our old man was crucified with Him, that the body of sin might be destroyed, that henceforth we should not serve sin.” Romans 6:6 What about sickness? No, the Anointing of God came that we might have life and have it abundantly as we prosper and are in health! “Who His Own self bare our sins in His body on the tree, that we, being dead to sins, should live unto righteousness; by Whose stripes ye were healed.” 1 Peter 2:24 Do we still have fear? No, “For God hath not given us the spirit of fear; but of power, and of love, and of a sound mind.” 2 Timothy 1:7 In Christ we now have no fear; fear was an old thing and it has passed away! What about hatred and unforgiveness? No, “And hope maketh not ashamed; because the love of God is shed abroad in our hearts by the Holy Ghost which is given unto us.” Romans 5:5 Do we still have lack? Absolutely not, “And God is able to make all grace abound towards you; that ye, having all sufficiency in all things, may abound unto every good work.” 2 Corinthians 9:8 All of our old shortcomings, that were brought on by sin, are now gone, they have been destroyed as Romans 6 teaches, because God has given us His Anointing, which is Christ! We are now one with God and as He is, so are we, even while we are on this earth. We now are one with our Fathers love, His peace, His joy, His power, His abilities, and His grace. God’s very self is now united with us to insure that all things are new for us! If God said old things are passed away, old things are passed away! Today is the day of our salvation and faith comes from us hearing the Truth of God and God’s Truth sets us free! God is not a man that He should lie and God said that old things are passed away for us! Today is the day of our salvation, and now is the accepted time for all of these promises of our Father to be lived and enjoyed!

We Are Now In Gods Light

"This then is the message which we have heard of Him, and declare unto you, that God is Light, and in Him is no darkness at all." 1 John 1:5

A-men, we are now one with Jesus, and He has always been and will forever be One with God, Who is the Light. We are no longer darkness, the Light of our Father has driven out the darkness that was within us and we have been glorified with Christ, old things are passed away for us and all things are now new. We have a new Spirit. "And I will put My Spirit within you, and cause you to walk in My statutes, and ye shall keep My judgments, and do them. And ye shall dwell in the land I gave your fathers; and ye shall be My people, and I will be your God. I will also save you from all your uncleannesses:" Ezekiel 36:27 We now have a new heart. “A new heart also will I give you, and a new spirit will I put within you: and I will take away the stony heart of your flesh, and I will give you a heart of flesh.” Ezekiel 36:26 We now have a new mind. “For who hath known the mind of the Lord, that he may instruct him? but we have the mind of Christ.” 1 Corinthians 2:16 We now have a new body. “For we are members of His body, of His flesh, and of His bones.” Ephesians 5:30 We are completely new creatures in Christ, new in spirit, soul, and body!

Salvation is far more reaching than most give it credit for. But the Truth will set us free, and the Truth is that the Light of our Father has driven out the darkness that was in us.

We Are New Creatures Because We Are In Christ

"Therefore if any man be in Christ, he is a new creature: old things are passed away; behold all things are become new." 2 Corinthians 5:17

When we were chosen by God and empowered by our Fathers Holy Spirit to make Jesus the Lord of our lives, the Anointing of God came upon us, and everything that was old about us was destroyed by that Anointing and passed away. The Anointing of our Father made us new in Christ, completely new creatures in Christ, our old self was crucified with its passions and lusts and we were united and made to be one with the Living God. Our Father perfected us with unity, so that the world would believe! "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 God now lives as one with us, as He lives as One with Jesus, and we are now the Temple of the Holy Ghost. Greater is He that is in us, than he that is in the world. Jesus has given us His glory, and Jesus is now glorified in us and through us. Jesus has made us perfect, created in His image in righteousness and true holiness, and we are now filled with all of His fullness. "For whom He did foreknow, He also did predestinate to be conformed to the image of His Son, that He might be the firstborn among many brethren. Moreover whom He did predestinate, them He also called, them He also justified: and whom He justified, them also glorified. What shall we say to these things? If God be for us, who can be against us?" Romans 8:29-31 We are new creatures in Christ and all things, all things mind you, are new for us in Him!

We have been perfected by Christ to serve our Father as Jesus serves our Father. We have been perfected by Christ to love as Jesus loves, to witness as Jesus witnesses, to forgive as Jesus forgives, to be powerful as Jesus is powerful, and to have peace as our Lord has peace! What our Head is, so are we as His body. Just as my head is Brad, so are my arms, my legs, my eyes, and my hair. Everything that is part of me is Brad, and everyone that is part of Jesus, is Jesus. We are now strong in the power of His might to be used by God as Jesus was used by God; we are new creatures in Christ made to serve in the full and glorious power of our Fathers might!

We Lack Nothing In Christ

“That the man of God may be perfect, thoroughly furnished unto all good works.” 2 Timothy 3:17

Look at all of the scriptures that we have studied together so far with this blog. They tell us that if we lack anything, we now have the Spirit within us that leads us to just ask our Father for what we need. Through Christ we have now been made perfect and through Christ all things are now thoroughly furnished unto us. We have all of this so that our Father can produce much fruit through us! God is the supplier of all of our needs and our needs are met according to His riches and glory.

“But my God shall supply all your need according to his riches in glory by Christ Jesus.” Philippians 4:19

There is no ten step program here; the answer for us is to simply ask, and the power and ability of our asking is that it is Jesus within us, leading and directing us to ask. Jesus knows where the answers come from and He is leading us in the paths of righteousness! We now have His Anointed mind and that mind knows fully that our Father is willing and able to do all that He has spoken, Romans 4:21! The mind that we have been given has been to the Cross and has been raised from the dead! The Anointed mind that we now have walked through the Red Sea with the children of Israel, it saw David triumph over Goliath, it saw Elijah call fire down from Heaven, it told storms to cease, it walked on the water, it was with God from the very beginning and it is seated with Him right now! Our mind knows the Truth and it knows that we now have the petitions that are required to receive fully from God!

“And if we know that He hears us, whatsoever we ask, we know that we have the petitions that we desired of Him.” 1 John 5:15

Jesus, I pray in Your Name, the Name that has been placed above every other name, that all You have chosen and all who have been empowered to accept You as Lord, and all that we come into contact with will live and walk in the full and complete knowledge and faith of the Truth that You are now one with us. That You never leave us or forsake us. I pray that we truly accept and walk in the fact that Your love now abides within us, and that we love as You love, that we forgive as You forgive, and that we serve as You serve! I pray that it is Your glory that we walk in, and that we experience a glorious life of God producing much fruit through us. I pray that we are Your vessels of honor and virtue, and that Your virtue flows from us as rivers of living water! I thank You Lord that we are one, even as You and the Father are One! Thank You Jesus that we are healthy, that we are prosperous, that we are victorious, that we are honorable, that we see as You see, have faith as You have faith, hear as You hear, live as You live, and love as You love! I pray these things Father by Your power that is within me and I ask that they are truly lived in and walked in by us this day, thank You Father, and A-men! Your will be done!

What Do You Believe?

"That they all may be one; as Thou, Father, art in Me, and I in Thee, that they also may be one in us: that the world may believe that Thou hast sent Me. And the glory which Thou gavest Me I have given them; that they may be one, even as We are one. 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 17:21-23

Ask yourself this question honestly; do you believe all of these verses that we have studied together over the last couple of days? If you don’t, here is what you do: First of all remember this Godly Truth, there is now no condemnation for us, none whatsoever! Say that out loud, there is now no condemnation for me in Christ! Faith comes for us from hearing the Truth of God! Jesus has set us free from condemnation by sending the Holy Spirit to dwell within us. “There is therefore now no condemnation to them which are in Christ Jesus, who walk not after the flesh, but after the Spirit.” Romans 8:1 God is not out to condemn us; He is ever living to save us to the uttermost! I thank You Lord for Your grace and the Truth is God does not want us condemning ourselves either, once again thank You Lord! But what God does want for us is to live in the fullness of His Truth and to be set free by it! God wants to live within us and one with us. God wants to cause us to walk in His Truth, and it’s not a burden, it’s pleasant, it’s life and peace that passes all understanding, and God’s Truth is easy to be borne and it will set us free!

If you are struggling with accepting who you are in Christ Jesus now, the Truth is your not alone, you have the Spirit of Truth dwelling within you, and He knows exactly and completely what you need. And that Spirit of Truth will cause you to call out for God for help. It’s really just that simple, all we have to do is ask! We don’t have to get all caught up in how we ask, God knows our hearts! “Be not ye therefore like unto them: for your Father knoweth what things ye have need of, before ye ask Him.” Matthew 6:8 You may be empowered to start to believe immediately, it may take some time, but when we ask, we receive! “Hitherto have ye asked nothing in My name: ask, and ye shall receive, that your joy may be full.” John 16:24 It is God’s will for us to live as He is in this world, and He empowers us to do so by Anointing us to be one with Him in this world? “In this [union and communion with Him] love is brought to completion and attains perfection with us, that we may have confidence for the day of judgment [with assurance and boldness to face Him], because as He is, so are we in this world.” 1 John 4:17 Amplified Bible We are able to have confidence and boldness because of our union and communion that we now have with God! “Be ye not unequally yoked together with unbelievers: for what fellowship hath righteousness with unrighteousness? and what communion hath light with darkness?” 2 Corinthians 6:14 We are now one with God and we now have union and communion with Him and God’s Light has driven out all of the darkness that was in us by crucifying us with His Anointing! We are blessed in the power of our Fathers might today and everyday, forevermore!

We Are Dead, Yet We Are So Alive

"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. I do not frustrate the grace of God: for if righteousness come by the law, then Christ is dead in vain" Galatians 2:20-21 (Notice all of the present tense words that God uses here!)

This is not just a godly saying; some nice little thing that we say to each other on Sundays, it’s the absolute Truth of our salvation! It is the Truth of God that has set us free, completely and totally free! When we were chosen by God and born again of His Incorruptible Seed, our old man was crucified with Christ and our body of sin was destroyed! “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 Our sinful nature, with all of its corruption, was crucified by the power of the Anointing of God and our bodies of sin were destroyed, and our relationship with sin and our old self was permanently destroyed. Christ came immediately to dwell within us and we were raised from the dead by the very power of God that raised Jesus from the dead, and we now live by the very power that Jesus lives by; God within us! And the life we now live in this world is lived by the exact same power that Jesus lives in Heaven with, the Anointing of God! Greater is He that is now within us, than he that is in the world! “Ye are of God, little children, and have overcome them: because greater is He that is in you, than he that is in the world.” 1 John 4:4

"And I have declared unto them Thy name, and will declare it: that the love wherewith Thou hast loved Me may be in them, and I in them." John 17:26

"That they all may be one; as Thou, Father, art in Me, and I in Thee, that they also may be one in us: that the world may believe that Thou hast sent Me. And the glory which Thou gavest Me I have given them; that they may be one, even as we are one. 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 17:21-23

"And all Mine are Thine, and Thine are Mine; and I am glorified in them." John 17:10

"If ye abide in me, and My words abide in you, ye shall ask what ye will, and it shall be done unto you." John 15:7

Our Fellowship Is With God

“To reveal His Son in me, that I might preach Him among the heathen, immediately I conferred not with flesh and blood!” Galatians 1:16

Paul makes such a great statement of faith here. How many of us want to rush a new believer off to a class, or group, we don’t want them to loose the momentum! But the Truth is that all new believers have been chosen by God to be born again and they have been empowered by the Holy Spirit to accept Jesus as Lord. God is big enough and powerful enough, and loving enough to insure that someone who has truly said yes to Him, will not loose momentum. God chooses us for a reason, and He doesn’t choose those who will fall away! God is an intimate Father and He has called us and He has chosen us. Salvation isn’t a one sided thing, we don’t have it solely because we chose it; we are saved because we have been chosen! “According as He hath chosen us in him before the foundation of the world, that we should be holy and without blame before Him in love:” Ephesians 1:4

When a child is born, who does that child spend their time with? New born babies spend most of their time with their parents; brothers and sisters and friends come by, but new babies spend the majority of their time with their parents, and we are now born of God. We are not born of flesh and blood, we are born of the Spirit, and the Spirit is willing and able, and even demanding of our time. “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: Which were born, not of blood, nor of the will of the flesh, nor of the will of man, but of God.” John 1:12-13 Paul went right into an intimate relationship with God when he was born again, and look at the result of it, God used him to write ¾ of the New Testament and dozens of churches were started because of God using Paul throughout the entire Mediterranean Region. We are still learning from what God did through Paul thousands of years ago! “But the Anointing which ye have received of Him abideth in you, and ye need not that any man teach you: but as the same Anointing teacheth you of all things, and is Truth, and is no lie, and even as it hath taught you, ye shall abide in Him.” 1 John 2:27

Now I am not for one-second saying churches are bad. God had Paul setting them up all over the place! “Not forsaking the assembling of ourselves together, as the manner of some is; but exhorting one another: and so much the more, as ye see the day approaching.” Hebrews 10:25 But, far too often we try to make new believers and older believers find out about God through us. God is found and learned about through the precious and glorious relationship that we enjoy with Him, One on one. God is our Father, He chose to have us, and we are born of Him, born of His Incorruptible Seed. It was the will of the Almighty God to have us! We can tell our brothers and sisters about our Father, what He has taught us and what He has done for us, but there is no more powerful time, there is no more precious time, then when God is One on one with us, sharing His Truth and His will for our lives! Clearly you can see I believe in sharing the Word of God; He is having me write these studies! Yet, if you learn anything from these studies of God’s Word, learn that it is God in us that is the One thing that makes everything else come together. It is only because of God Anointing us with Himself that we can fellowship with each other! God is the One Who teaches us the Truth that sets us free! God is the One that heals our bodies, fills us with His joy and gives us His peace that passes all understanding! It is only because of God within us that we are able to forgive one another, walk in faith, and have hope. All of these things and everything else that pertains to life and to godliness come first from us having a life that first and foremost confers not with flesh and blood, but with our Father, Who is God! We are only able to proclaim God because He has revealed Himself to us and glorified us with Himself to do so! How can man apart from God speak of Godly things?

It's Our Destiny To Be Just Like Jesus

"For whom He did foreknow, He also did predestinate to be conformed to the image of His Son, that He might be the firstborn among many brethren. Moreover whom He did predestinate, them He also called, them He also justified: and whom He justified, them He also glorified. What shall we say to these things? If God be for us, who can be against us?" Romans 8:29-31

It is the desire of our Father to reveal His Son and our Savior, Jesus Christ the Lord, within us. Our Father has predestined us to be conformed to the very image of Jesus. Our Father has not destined us to be conformed to some vague resemblance of Jesus; He has predestined us to be exactly and completely like Jesus. God has called us, He has justified us, and He has glorified us, so that we may be just like Jesus, a member of His body and flesh of His flesh. The blood of Jesus has now purged our consciences from all dead works. Because of this, Jesus is now able to glorify us with all of Himself, so that we are able to be used perfectly by God to preach the fullness of the salvation of Jesus Christ to the world!

“That they all may be one, as Thou, Father, art in Me, and I in Thee, that they also may be one in us,: that the world may believe that Thou hast sent Me. And the glory which Thou gavest Me I have given them; that they may be one, even as We are One.” John 17:21-22

Jesus prayed that He would be glorified by God so that He could glorify God, and then Jesus gave us the same glory, so that we too may be used by God to glorify God! We have been empowered with the exact same Godly force as Jesus to serve our Father. We are one with Jesus and His glory is revealed through us as He is glorified within us!

God chose you and I. He called you and I, He justified you and I, and He glorified you and I! Our Father is for us and there is nothing that can be against us as we preach the freedom of Jesus Christ with power and demonstration of the Spirit! Today is the Day of Victory in Jesus and our Father would that all men be victorious through Jesus!

We Should Desire For Jesus To Be Within Us

"To reveal His Son in me, that I might preach Him among the heathen; immediately I conferred not with flesh and blood:" Galatians 1:16

When we read John 17:1, we see that Jesus prayed that our Father would glorify Him, so that He could in turn glorify God. “These Words spake Jesus and lifted up His eyes towards Heaven, and said, Father, the hour is come; glorify Thy Son, that Thy Son also may glorify You.” Jesus wanted to be glorified by God, so that He could glorify God, and Paul wanted Jesus to be revealed within him, so that he might be able to preach the fullness of God. We cannot preach God without our Father enabling us to do so. We can’t serve Him, worship Him, we can’t do anything with Him, unless He first enables us with Himself to do so! This is the awesome Truth about our salvation; God has the desire and the ability to reveal Himself fully to us, so that we can be used fully by Him and the world will believe! “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

Today is the Day of our Salvation, so today is the day that Jesus should be revealed within each of us, and through the power of Jesus within us the world will believe and be saved. Today Jesus is greater within us than anything that is within this world. Today we are new creatures in Christ and today we are more than conquerors through Christ Who loves us. Today there is no weapon that has been formed against us that can prosper and today we have been set free from all of the wages of sin that would hinder us from being fully used by our Father! Jesus is within us today. We are one with Him today, and since we are the full power and love of our Father can freely flow from us to a world that so desperately needs it!

God Will Work Through Us To Change The World

“And to know the love of Christ, which passeth knowledge, that ye might be filled with all the fullness of God. Now unto Him that is able to do exceeding abundantly above all that we ask or think, according to the power that worketh in us, Unto him be glory in the church by Christ Jesus throughout all ages, world without end. Amen.” Ephesians 3:19-21

God can do all things through us and so much more, because greater is He that is in us, than he that is in the world! God can stop the lies of the Muslim Clerics who preach hatred and destruction, without a shot ever being fired, without a bomb ever being dropped. God can use us to stop the lies of abortion and the deceitfulness and destruction of a homosexual lifestyle. Through prayer, by looking to Jesus to Author and Finish our faith, and by allowing the power of the love of God to freely and completely flow through us, we can cause the governments of the world to be glorious and honorable, workers of righteousness. Through Christ we are a royal priesthood and a peculiar people, a united nation of believers, united in the Spirit, one with God through Christ, whose fruitfulness will overflow to every corner of the earth. We are the Temples of God, and His Spirit now dwells within us! Our consciousnesses of unforgiveness, of hatred, and revenge have been purged from us! We now pray for them that hate us, and we now bless them that curse us, freely we have received and freely we now give! "Now ye are the body of Christ, and members in particular." 1 Corinthians 12:27

Salvation Is The Only Thing That Will Change The World

"Who will have all men to be saved, and to come unto the knowledge of the truth." 1 Timothy 2:4

How many of us where filled with hatred, anger, drugs, lust, whatever, and then Christ came to us, He called us, and then we where home, and He was at home within us. Our old self was destroyed and behold all things became new for us. The hatred and bitterness of the past was removed and replaced with the abounding hope that was shed abroad in our hearts by the power of the Holy Spirit! Most of us can credit a praying mother, grandmother, friend, child, or spouse for praying continually for us. There is the answer, the weapon of our warfare, the Spiritual force that will bring down the stronghold, love, and we are now the home of it. The Glory of God that stopped them dead in their tracks under the Old Covenant, now empowers those of us under the New Covenant of Jesus Christ. Through the power of Christ we need to pray that all men be saved, it is the will of our Father and it is the thought and desire of the Mind of Christ that has been given us. We need to pray for Muslims, Buddhists, Atheists, Jews, Christians, Young, and Old, Male and Female, Minority and Majority to be saved and come to the full knowledge of the Truth of God!

Jesus taught that the greatest man ever born of a woman was John the Baptist. Yet Jesus went on to say that the least in the Kingdom of God was greater than John, Mathew 11:11. The reason Jesus said this was because John was under the Old Covenant. The Power and Glory of God had not yet come to dwell within man, but it has now, and God is now able to work through the least of us far greater than He was ever able to work with John! The Kingdom of Heaven is now! Now is the Day of our Salvation, now we are the Temple’s of God, and now the Spirit of God dwells within us! So as Jesus proclaimed, “And as ye go, preach, saying, The Kingdom of Heaven is at hand. Heal the sick, cleanse the lepers, raise the dead, cast out devils: freely ye have received, freely give.” Matthew 10:7-8 Through Christ God is able to work mightily through us, far greater than we can think of, dream of, or pray for, and He is able to do it by the power of His Spirit that is within us! And through the power of God that now dwells within us, the world can believe and be saved!

The Blood Of Jesus Will Change The World

“How much more shall the blood of Christ, Who through the Eternal Spirit offered Himself without spot to God, purge your conscience from dead works to serve the Living God?” Hebrews 9:14

There are so many needs in this world: fear, sickness, hatred, un-forgiveness, lack of unity, and doubt. All of these things, and so many more, are needlessly being allowed to flourish. The world needs us. They need to see God working through us who have been purged by Christ. They need to see God’s active love working through us; and we need God to be Who He is within us. So many try so desperately to do what is right on their own, yet even with the best of intentions they can never do it, only God can do it through us! And A-men, our Father is willing and able to do far more through us than we can even dream of!

As I am writing this, the world is being assaulted with the hatred and bitterness of radical Muslims. They are killing and destroying themselves and so many others along with themselves. The anger and hatred of thousands of years of strife are overflowing through murder. America and Europe are spending billions upon billions of dollars and young men and woman are given their lives to try and end it. The news media is in a feeding frenzy of fear and daily they are bombarding us hopelessness. The World is divided on the answer, and many believe there is no answer at all. Yet there is an answer, an answer for today, an answer for the accepted time, and the answer is God within us. The answer is God doing His works through us; His work of love, His work of power, His work of reconciliation. Money will not solve the hatred and un-forgiveness of man, how many billions have been spent already? How many lives have been lost? Islamic faith is not the answer, look at the bitterness that it has caused, this sect of Muslims are killing that sect, there is no unity there. Yet love, the love that God has for Jesus, the love that now abides within us can change the world. The love and the glory of God that have made their home within us will change it. Through our unity with Christ, the world will believe!

The Glory Of Being The Temple Of God

"Know ye not that ye are the Temple of God, and that the Spirit of God dwelleth in you?" 1 Corinthians 3:16

When God was having Paul write that we are the Temples of God, the people knew of the power of the Glory of God that once lived in that man made Temple. They knew that if a man would enter into the Holy Place without being first cleansed with blood, he would fall over dead from the power of the Glory that had filled the room. When Paul was writing that we are now the Temples of God, it meant something to these people. It meant that through Christ we are cleansed; it meant that the Blood of Jesus has been permanently applied to our lives. “For if the blood of bulls and of goats, and the ashes of an heifer sprinkling the unclean, sanctifieth to the purifying of the flesh: How much more shall the blood of Christ, Who through the eternal Spirit offered Himself without spot to God, purge your conscience from dead works to serve the living God?” Hebrews 9:13-14 The Blood of Christ has cleansed us, so that we may be filled with the Glory of God and the Glory of God dwelling within us allows us to serve Him in fullness of the Spirit! The glory of God now lives within us, we are united with it, one with it, covered in it, and filled with its fullness! The glory of God has stopped our ability to work carnally, it has purged our dead works, and praise be to God it has enabled our Father to fully work through us! The Glory of God now does the works through us that it did through Jesus and it will do even greater works, because Jesus has gone to be with the Father!

Faith comes from us hearing this Truth, and the Truth sets us free! Through Christ we are free to be used to raise the dead, heal the sick, prophesy to the needs of the people, perform miracles, tell the weather what to do, and all to further the Kingdom of our Father. Greater is our Father Who is within us, than anything or anyone that is in the world! Today is the day of this power and today we have been set free from all of the bondages of the flesh to be used by God to do the works of righteousness that will set the captives free!

We Are Now The Temple Of God

"Know ye not that ye are the Temple of God, and that the Spirit of God dwelleth in you?" 1 Corinthians 3:16

“When the priests withdrew from the Holy Place, the cloud filled the Temple of the Lord. And the priests could not perform their service because of the cloud, for the Glory of the Lord filled His Temple.” 1 Kings 8:10-11 In the Old Testament there was a physical building known as the Temple of God, it was made of wood, stone, and precious metals. It was built to the exacting standards that God had prescribed, and when Solomon had completed the work given to him, God filled this man made building with His Glory. The Glory of God was so great that the priests were unable to work because of it. Mere men were unable to work because of the Glory of God that was present. Remember what Jesus prayed in John 17? Remember how Jesus prayed that we would have the exact same Glory that He has. Jesus prayed that we would have the magnificence of God, the Excellency of God, the Dignity of God, God’s preeminence, God’s grace, His majesty, and His splendor that is His glory, dwelling within us! These are the descriptions of what filled that man made Temple and as the glory of God filled that room, it completely overcame the Priests and they were unable to work.

Now here is the really cool part, man can’t work in the presence of God’s glory! “For he that is entered into His rest, he also hath ceased from his own works, as God did from His.” Hebrews 4:10 Yet as the Temple was used by God, so are we! How? By God working through us! We are now strong by the Anointing of Christ that has strengthened us. Our flesh as been quickened, and God is now able to do all things through us! As our Father is so are we in this world, and through the power of Jesus we now are the vessels that are used by God to bring His glory and fruit to the world! “That they all may be one; as Thou, Father, art in Me, and I in Thee, that they also may be one in us; that the world may believe that Thou hast sent Me. And the glory which Thou gavest Me I have given them; that they may be one, even as We are One: 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 17:21-23 Our own works, our dead works, our carnal mind, the enmity of our flesh, our sinful natures are destroyed by the Glory of God that now dwells within us! Yet we live, but it is no longer us that lives, it is God’s Anointing within us that lives, and it is now God working through us! The Light has driven out the darkness and we can now be used by God to do all things by the strength of His Anointing that is upon us! That is how powerful we have been made in Christ. Salvation is Awesome!

We Can Ask God To Take Away Our Free Will

“Ask, and it shall be given you; seek, and ye shall find; knock, and it shall be opened unto you:” Matthew 7:7

For those who confess that God will not take our free will from us, OK, I’ll give you that, even though our Father has said that He will purge our conscious of dead works from us, and that He will give us His Spirit to cause us to walk in His ways. But for those who believe that God won't take it away, let me ask you this, can we give it to Him? If you still have your free carnal will that is not pleasing to God, just give Him permission to purge it out of you. We are now one with the One Who is perfect, Who is glorious, and Who is virtuous, and He gives us what we ask Him for so that our joy may be full. Our Father's will is for us to be mature and perfect, to be healthy, to have peace, to be filled with joy, to live abundantly, in spirit, soul, and in body. His will is for us is to have all of the very best of Him, to be filled with all of His fullness! If you are hanging on to your old human will, a will that is filled with dead works, cast that burden on God. Ask Him to purge you, walk in the fullness of Christ, walk in power and glory of Christ, and walk in His perfect love! This is the thought process that glorifies God and this is the mind that He has given us! We are born of God’s Incorruptible Seed, and we now only live because of the Anointing of Christ that lives within us! Our bodies of sin have been destroyed and we have been crucified with Christ. We are now new creatures in Christ who live unto God and we have been raised up together with Jesus our Lord and Savior by the power of the Holy Spirit that He has given us!

Jesus ever lives to purge us from dead works and if we have truly been empowered by the Holy Spirit to say yes to Him. Jesus will absolutely purge us who are one with Him from dead works! Imagine a life without any, and I mean any, dead works. Faith for this comes from hearing and hearing from the Word of God. We have Jesus within us, He is willing, and He is able to do it! Right now we need to begin to imagine our lives without any faults, lives where the Spirit leads us; lives just like Jesus. You don’t think it’s possible? Turn to 1 John 2:6 and read another requirement of us living a godly life.

“He that saith he abideth in Him ought himself also so to walk, even as He walked.”

Jesus had absolutely no dead works and He is the only One that can fully purge them completely from us! We are now one with Him, we are one with Him this day. Faith is the evidence of things hoped for, the substance of things not seen. The Holy Spirit within us allows us to abound in hope for such a life! A life where the Truth is if we sin, not when! We have been called of God, and since we have He has justified us, and since He has justified us, He has glorified us, and our glory is now that we are one with Him, just as Jesus is One with Him!

We Are Not The Divided House Of God

“How much more shall the blood of Christ, Who through the Eternal Spirit offered Himself without spot to God, purge your conscience from dead works to serve the Living God?” Hebrews 9:14

Have you ever heard someone say that God will not take our free will from us? These people believe that we have this carnal nature of dead works, or this sin nature, and then we also have this Godly nature. They believe that we are doomed, while we are on this earth, to keep this old sinful thought process and on any given day we may choose to use it. I know this sounds right, and I know that most of us feel this way, but the Bible teaches us that a divided house cannot stand. “And if a house be divided against itself, that house cannot stand.” Mark 3:25. If we still have this good conscience and this bad conscience coexisting within us at the same time, than we are a divided house and we cannot stand, we will fall! God teaches us that if we are double minded then we will not receive anything from Him. “For let not that man think that he shall receive any thing of the Lord. A double minded man is unstable in all his ways.” James 1:7-8 If we have these two contrary natures within us, even though we are saved, then God’s Word has destined us to fail! Jesus did not come to cause us to fail, He came that we might have life, and have it more abundantly, John 10:10! Our destiny on this earth as Christians is not failure; it is to be victorious through Christ Who strengthens us! Jesus taught that we are perfect in Him, so that the world will believe and be saved! The Light drives out any part of our will that is darkness, God prunes it away, and anything that hinders our deliverance is removed by the Anointing of the Holy Spirit! The Bible teaches us that the carnal mind is enmity against God and that it cannot please Him. “For to be carnally minded is death; but to be spiritually minded is life and peace.” Romans 8:6. The Bible teaches that we have now been given the mind of Christ, 1 Corinthians 2:16. And in Hebrews 9:14, the Word of God proclaims that Jesus has purged our conscience, or our sin nature of dead works from us, so that we can serve God in newness of the Spirit. Jesus has purged our will of dead works, so that God can work through us mightily, just as He works through Jesus mightily and that brings us life and peace! To believe that we still have our carnal will is death, because there is no fellowship between righteousness and unrighteousness, 2 Corinthians 6:14.

Once again we see that there is a need in our lives, we are to have no dead works, and we see that Jesus did something about it, He purged our thought process, our free will that was full of dead works. Find any requirement in the Bible that speaks of us living a full and complete life with God, and you’ll also find a scripture that says that God is in us, one with us, causing us to do it. Just as He said He would do in Ezekiel 36:27 “And I will put My Spirit with you, and cause you to walk in My statutes, and ye shall keep My judgments, and do them.” The carnal mind says that we are weak, but the Spiritual mind that God has given us says that we are strong, strong through His power and might. The carnal mind says that our flesh is sinful, but the Spiritual mind says that we have been quickened together with Jesus by the resurrecting power of the Holy Spirit that now dwells within us! The mind that thinks on our inabilities is carnal. It doesn’t please God for us to talk about how weak we are, it pleases God to talk and think about how strong He is within us! It pleases and glorifies God when we allow the Truth of Who He has made us, to be what is in abundance within our hearts! God has given us an Anointed mind that thinks on His glorious Spiritual ways and God has given us a heart that believes the Truth on Who He has made us, which is alive in Christ!

Jesus Has ABsolutely Purged Our Consciences

“How much more shall the blood of Christ, Who through the Eternal Spirit offered Himself without spot to God, purge your conscience from dead works to serve the Living God?” Hebrews 9:14

Jesus is right now our Divine Advocate; an Advocate Who will never leave us or forsake us. An Advocate Who was willing and able to endure the Cross. An Advocate Who took on every last one of our sins and Who paid the price in full for all of our sin, forever destroying the wage of it for all of us who have been chosen of God and who have been empowered by the Holy Spirit to accept Him as Lord! An Advocate Who ratified the New Covenant with His pure and Holy Blood. “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 It is Jesus Who empowers us with Himself to walk in the virtues and glory of salvation. It is Jesus Who Authors our faith to live in the fullness of His salvation. It is Jesus Who sheds His love abroad in our hearts. It is Jesus Who heals us and it is Jesus Who leads us and guides us in the paths of righteousness. We can do nothing without Him, and A-men, we are empowered by our oneness with Him to be used by God to do everything! God is now strong through us by the power of Jesus’ might and we are now more than conquerors through His Anointing that loves us! And praise God for the Truth that Jesus has purged our consciences from dead works so that we might truly know that we are united with God through Christ to serve! Jesus is our refiners fire and our fullers soap that perfectly cleanses us as we are conformed into His Divine image. The Blood of Jesus has cleansed us from all old things and from all sin, and the Blood has allowed God to recreate us in His image of righteousness and true holiness! Greater is He that is now within us than He that is in the world!

We truly are new creatures in Christ. We are blessed this day in the power of our Fathers might, and in the Name of our Lord Jesus Christ the world will believe and be saved because if it!

If We Sin, Not When We Sin

“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.” 1 John 2:1

Years ago when our Father began to first teach me about our freedom from sin, He took me to this verse of scripture. And do you know what He had jump off the page at me; the one little Word, “if!” Our Father said if any man sin, not when every man sins. My whole life I had heard when, not if, and that was about as exciting for me as anything else that God had ever shown me in His Word. Sin is not a given for the saved, our Father has provided a way, our Righteous Lord and Savior Jesus Christ, the Way, the Light, and the Truth. Our Father has given us His very self to insure that it is if we sin, not when we sin.

And praise God if it happens, we absolutely have an Advocate working on our behalf every second of every day, right there in the Throne Room with God, One with God, completely and totally defending us! Jesus is always and completely defending us. His Blood is ever cleansing us even if, isn’t that so great, if we sin, not when we sin! We don’t have to defend ourselves from sin, because sin no longer has any power to separate us from the love of God. Sin no longer kills us as it did Adam. We have passed from death unto life; Jesus now is our Advocate, our Defender, our Justifier, and our full and complete eternal Reconciliation. The Holy Ghost has sealed us with Himself and He will keep us until the Day of Jesus’ return, Ephesians 4:30! I hope you see this. God’s revelation on if, not when, will change your whole life. Thank God we have Jesus Who will Author and Finish our faith of if, not when. And praise God we have been given the Anointed mind of Christ to believe it, just as Jesus believes it. We have all of the power and knowledge of Jesus to know that we are dead to sin and to know that our relationship to it has been broken. We now know the Truth that our body that could do sin has been destroyed and that because of the power of Christ we are no longer capable of being effected by sin, Romans 6:6.

Even if we aren’t at this point of mature knowledge of who we are in Christ, we still have unbroken fellowship with God through the power of our Advocate Jesus Christ! This is vitally important; there is now therefore no condemnation for us who are in Christ Jesus, Romans 8:1! We are so blessed today because our Father is flooding us with the fullness of His Truth. We have Jesus Who is giving us the faith to do so and the Truth will set us free! We have been justified, glorified, and conformed to God’s Divine Nature, and there is no sin in the Divine Nature of God! Sin no longer has dominion over us, its power, pleasure, presence, and penalty have been done away for us through Jesus Christ. Jesus made a shew of sin openly at the Cross; triumphing over it and His Light eternally keeps the darkness from us, Colossians 2:14! This is who we are in Christ and this is the Incorruptible Seed that we have been born of!

“Being born again, not of corruptible seed, but of incorruptible, by the word of God, which liveth and abideth for ever.” 1 Peter 1:23 We are now alive and one with Christ and we have passed from death unto life and we now live unto God, just as Jesus lives unto God!
