Satan Will Never Win Against Us

"And the very God of peace sanctify you wholly; and I pray God your whole spirit and soul and body be preserved blameless unto the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ. Faithful is He that calleth you, Who also will do it." 1 Thessalonians 5:23-24

Paul, Peter, John, all of the Apostles, and all of the Prophets in the Bible suffered persecution, Jesus teaches us that we will too, but our Father will deliver us from every evil work. I hear it preached all of the time about the struggles that we have with satan. People there is no struggle with satan! If you have been chosen by God and empowered with the Holy Spirit to say yes to Jesus as the Lord of your life, then satan is no longer a threat to you! If he were than he would have to be a threat to Jesus, Who is our Head! Through Christ we have been sealed with the Holy Ghost, so how could satan penetrate the Holy Ghost to harm us? If Jesus is our Shepherd; how it is that satan can get by Him? How is it that if God is preserving us and keeping us from evil until Heaven, that He can fail? Satan is not an issue for the believer, he wants to make you think that he is, but if he is, than all of these verses that we have read are lies! We will wrestle with satan, but it will be as the conquerors that we are through Christ! We will go into all of the world and run satan and evil off from every area that we are led in! From the sidelines satan will attempt to stop us, but there is no weapon that he has and there is no one that he is in control of, that can come against us as we stand anointed and united with the King of Kings and the Lord of Lords!

Will we be persecuted for the testimony that we are used by God to share, absolutely, but God will deliver us from it and we will win, and God will receive the praise and glory and others will see our victory and God will be praised! Death has no victory over us, to be absent from the body is to be present with Christ! Persecution has no victory over us, we are more than conquerors through Christ Who loves us. We win, each and every time. I know it’s not preached, I mean we hear sermons that ask why do bad things happen to good people? But through persecution we grow in the strength of the Lord. When we are weak, He is strong and His strength is perfected in our weakness! We win each and every time. No one who has been chosen by God, and who has truly been empowered by the Holy Spirit to accept Jesus as Lord, ever looses, ever! All things now work for our good! “And we know that all things work together for good to them that love God, to them who are the called according to his purpose.” Romans 8:28

Christ Has Defeated The But Devil

"And the Lord shall deliver me from every evil work, and will preserve me unto His heavenly kingdom: to whom be glory forever and ever. A-men." 2 Timothy 4:18

But what if we are killed for testifying about Jesus? “O death, where is thy sting? O grave, where is thy victory?” 1 Corinthians 15:55

But what if we are throne into jail and persecuted for believing? “And to him they agreed: and when they had called the Apostles, and beaten them, they commanded that they should not speak in the name of Jesus, and let them go. And they departed from the presence of the council, rejoicing that they were counted worthy to suffer shame for His name. And daily in the temple, and in every house, they ceased not to teach and preach Jesus Christ.” Acts 5:40-42

There is not one area in a believer’s life that satan can win at, not one! If he could win than we would have to throw 2 Timothy 4:18 out, it would be false, because God would not deliver us from every evil work. The Truth is that we are now actually one with Jesus, John 17:23, and since we are we have been delivered from every evil work, just as Jesus is delivered from every evil work!

You may think but sin, what about sin. The wage of sin is death, but through Christ we have passed from death unto life, Romans 6:4-11. So through Christ we have been delivered from sin. God is not a man that He should lie and if our Father has proclaimed that we are delivered from every evil work and preserved unto His Kingdom, than we are delivered from every evil work unto His Kingdom! Done deal, absolute, with no chance of failure! When God empowered us to believe, we won, just as Jesus won!

Jesus Delivers US From Every Evil Work

"And the Lord shall deliver me from every evil work, and will preserve me unto His heavenly kingdom: to whom be glory forever and ever. A-men." 2 Timothy 4:18

Stop right here and read that verse again, “The Lord, Jesus, will deliver us from every evil work, and Jesus will preserve us unto His Heavenly Kingdom.” Jesus proclaimed that satan came only to steal from us, to kill us, and to destroy us! Now here is the Truth that sets us free, so what, who cares what satan came to do, we care about what Jesus came and did and we care about what He is doing! The bracelets ask us what would Jesus do (WWJD)? Well Jesus will keep us from evil and He will preserve us, that is what Jesus will do! Praise God, how awesome is that, Jesus will deliver us from every evil work! The Truth is God is for us, so who or what can be against us? The Truth is that God has made us more than conquerors through Christ Who loves us! No weapon formed against us will ever prosper, through Christ our darkness is as the noonday, and we are preserved and sealed with the Holy Spirit of God! Let satan try to do what he came for, Jesus is our Shepherd, the thief will be ran off each and every time! Because greater is He that is now and forevermore within us, than he that is in the world! Satan cannot harm us, who are the body of Jesus, any more than he can harm Jesus! When God chose us we won, and we always win, because the One that we are now one with always wins! Welcome to salvation, all things now work together for our good!

Use God's Word For Correction

"All scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness: That the man of God may be perfect, thoroughly furnished unto all good works." 2 Timothy 3:16-17

If you are dealing with someone who just wont latch on to the power of God, whether it is salvation, or any other issue within their life, the best way to serve them is by using the Word of God. Speak scripture to them, show them where it is at, pray it for them, pray it with them, read it with them, email them, or write them, whatever God leads you to do. So many times we try to speak of a similar situation in our own life to comfort or aid a person, but the Word is profitable for the perfecting of the Saints. People sometimes feel that their situation is far worse than yours was and you could never understand or even compare your life with their misery. But the Word of God has life and the Word of God is what has made us perfect and the Word of God has thoroughly prepared us for instruction in righteousness. It does not matter if we say it with its chapter number and verse number, or just say it, the Word of our Father will not fall void to the earth, it will accomplish what He has intended for it to do. We may see it, or we may not. We may be used by God to plant a seed that He uses another person to water, and than has another harvest, but it was God Who made it grow. And Jesus has led us all in the path of being used to further the Kingdom of God!

All scripture is given by Divine inspiration. We have been honored by God Himself to become one with it. The sower sows the Word of God, some may fall on stony ground, some in the thorns, some in shallow soil, but some will fall in good ground, and it will produce a crop of 30, 60, or 100 fold! With the Word we are perfectly and thoroughly equipped to be used by God to do all good works!

Filled With God's KNowledge of Who We Are In Christ

“For this cause we also, since the day we heard it, do not cease to pray for you, and to desire that ye might be filled with the knowledge of His will in all wisdom and spiritual understanding, That you might walk worthy of the Lord unto all pleasing, being fruitful in every good work, and increasing in the knowledge of God; Strengthened with all might, according to His glorious power, unto all patience and longsuffering with joyfulness.” Colossians 1:9-11

This prayer is the Divine inspiration of God, it’s what our Father wants for us and it’s what He has provided for us through Christ! Just look at the Words: all, worthy, knowledge, joy, might, strength, wisdom, understanding, and power! These are the things that God has provided completely for us. Every bit as much as the prayer that Jesus prayed in John 17 is the Word of God, so is this prayer of Paul’s! You want to see some real power, go and read the prayers at the beginning of the Epistles. And as you read them watch the power of the Holy Ghost strengthen you as Jesus Authors and Finishes the faith within you to accept and walk in the Truth of them, to actually live and experience them. It’s awesome power!

We are one with all of Jesus’ knowledge, all of His wisdom, and all of His spiritual understanding. Through the power of Jesus’ might we are every bit as pleasing to God as He is! We are one with all of Jesus strength, all of His might, all of His glorious power, all of His patience, and all of His joy. There is nothing that Jesus is, and nothing that He has, that we are not one with, as He is, so are we in this world. We are now members of His body and greater is He that is in us, than he that is in the world! And today is the day that we have all of this, for today is the day of our salvation!

The Word of God Makes Us Perfect

"All scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness: That the man of God may be perfect, thoroughly furnished unto all good works." 2 Timothy 3:16-17

Look at all of the prayers in the New Testament and keep this verse in mind when you read them. These prayers are not just wish lists of the writers; they are all the inspired Words of our Father! If we read these prayers with that understanding of the Truth, just watch the power of God move in our lives! The Word of our Father makes us perfect and the Word allows God to thoroughly furnish us to be used for all good works! Those 14 Words alone in 2 Timothy 3:17 can be preached on for a couple of books or so! The Truth is that Jesus’ sacrifice was so great that it allowed us to become with God, just as Jesus our Lord and Savior, our Head, is One with God! So all that Jesus is, all that He has, all of His love, faith, hope, wisdom, knowledge, and all of His power, we are now one with. We have been given exactly what Jesus has! So when we think of Jesus’ power, this is exactly how we should think of ourselves. Jesus is our Lord, He is our Head, but that in no way stops Him from making us one with Him and giving us all that He is and all that He has. This is why He came, so that we could be one with Him, members of His body, flesh of His flesh, so that the world would believe!

The Word of God Perfects Us

"All scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness: That the man of God may be perfect, thoroughly furnished unto all good works." 2 Timothy 3:16-17

Look at all of the prayers in the New Testament and keep this verse in mind when you read them. These prayers are not just wish lists of the writers; they are the inspired Words of our Father! If we read these prayers with that understanding of this Truth, just watch the power of God move in our lives! The Word of God makes us perfect, and the Word allows God to thoroughly furnish us to be used for all good works! Those 14 Words alone in 2 Timothy 3:17 can be preached on for a couple of books or so!

The Truth is that Jesus’ sacrifice was so great that it allowed us to become with God, just as Jesus our Lord and Savior, our Head, is One with God! So all that Jesus is, all that He has, all of His love, faith, hope, wisdom, knowledge, righteousness, and all of His power, we are now one with. We have been given all of what Jesus has! So when we think of Jesus’ power, this is exactly how we should think of ourselves. Jesus is our Lord, He is our Head, but that in no way stops Him from making us one with Him and giving us all that He is and all that He has. This is why He came, so that we could be one with Him, members of His body, flesh of His flesh, so that the world would believe!

Sanctified Without Spot, Wrinkle, or Blemish

"That He might sanctify and cleanse it with the washing of the Word, That He might present it to Himself a glorious church, not having spot, wrinkle, or any such thing; but that it should be holy and without blemish." Ephesians 5:26-27

"For both He that sanctifieth and they who are sanctified are all of one: for which cause He is not ashamed to call them brethren." Hebrews 2:11

Our Father has given us Christ and through His Blood we have been brought near to Him and we have been made one with Him, and through the Blood of Jesus we have been set apart for God’s holy use! God has purified us, God has made us free from sin, and God will preserve us blameless. Our Father doesn’t say that He will preserve us blameless only when we get to Heaven. Our Father, Who is God, has spoken that He will do it for us here on this earth and He has spoken that He will continue to do it until Jesus returns. God will do it! Man that is so awesome! This why there is now no condemnation for us, Romans 8:1, because the responsibility of our sanctification is on our Father, not on us! Jesus is the Author of our faith, God is our Gardener, Jesus is our refiners fire, and the Holy Spirit is our strength!

But wait, this is a prayer, so can it really be true, or is it just some out of reach wish of Paul’s? You know one of those prayers we just say, but really know that it will never happen. Of course this verse is true, the whole Bible is the inspired Word of God. “All scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness:” 2 Timothy 3:16 Our Father inspired this prayer to be written and God placed it in the Bible. This prayer is our Father's desire for our lives. So absolutely it is Truth! That’s why Paul writes that God will do it!

I pray that our Father really opens up the understanding in the Church to what He has actually done for us. We have so much more than religion is proclaiming right now. Each day that goes by our Father just keeps strengthening us in the Truth that He has placed the responsibility on Himself to insure that His children are who they need to be. I am a full gospel, charismatic kind of guy. But let me tell you that I am not hearing it preached that God sanctifies us wholly and that He will preserve us blameless until Jesus returns. I hear we need to get the faith to do it, but I don’t hear it preached that Jesus is the One who will Author and Finish our faith to get it. Faith is preached as if it were some kind of human ability that will unlock this power of God, but it’s not, it’s God’s ability Authored and Finished through us by Jesus, which will unlock the power of His Kingdom! I don’t even hear people preach that we can be blameless here on this earth. It’s a shame, if there is no hope, than there will be no faith; faith is the evidence of things hoped for! In Jesus’ Name God is inspiring His children to accept and hope for this Truth, and Jesus will Author and Finish this faith within us, and A-men we will be able to be used by God to serve Him and we will be able to be used by God to serve each other in the power of actually living this Truth!

We are blessed this day in the power of His might! He is in us leading us to be all we can be within Him this day!

God Sanctifies Us Completly

"And the very God of peace sanctify you wholly; and I pray God your whole spirit and soul and body be preserved blameless unto the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ. Faithful is He that calleth you, Who also will do it." 1 Thessalonians 5:23-24

Can I get a great big A-men from the choir here! How can we not get absolutely ecstatic when we read this Truth? Do you see what these Words of our Father have to say? God will sanctify us completely! There is absolutely nothing in us that hasn't been sanctified wholly, nothing! Our Father has completely taken care of our whole spirit, our whole soul, and wait does it say it? Yes it does, our Father has sanctified our whole bodies as well! The salvation of Jesus Christ is so great and it is so complete that it even takes care of our flesh. WOW! Our Father will preserve us blameless, all of us blameless: all of our spirit, all of our soul, and all of our body blameless, and He will completely do it until Jesus returns for us!

Faithful is He Who will do it! Be not deceived God will not be mocked, our Father said it, so it is finished!

“God is not a man, that he should lie; neither the son of man, that he should repent: hath He said, and shall He not do it? or hath He spoken, and shall He not make it good?” Numbers 23:19

Faith comes for us by hearing and hearing comes by the Word of God, and how will they hear without a preacher? This has to be preached. It has to be preached that our Father will sanctify us wholly and that He will preserve us blameless until Jesus returns. Amen our Father is completely willing and able to do it too!

Through Christ We Are Clean And Holy

"For God hath not called us unto uncleanness, but to holiness." 1 Thessalonians 4:7

Through the power of Christ in our lives we are now holy servants, fully equipped for the service of our Father! We are now glorious with Christ’ glory. We are now sanctified by Jesus our Lord and Savior and united perfectly with God through Jesus. Because we are saved we are perfect and strong through the power of our Lord's might, lacking nothing. This is the Church that Jesus is returning for, a Church that is as He is in this world! Faith is the evidence of things hoped for and the Holy Spirit allows us to abound in the hope of God’s Truth!

The Power Of Just Two Believers In Christ

“Again I say unto you, That if two of you shall agree on earth as touching any thing that they shall ask, it shall be done for them of my Father which is in heaven.” Matthew 18:19

When God empowers the Church to actually begin to walk in the power of our unity with Christ, who will care what the governments of this world have to say. Just two of us can be used by God to join together and bring His will to pass! There won’t be just two of us either; God’s fullness will be united with and working through millions of us! When Jesus walked this earth 2000 years ago look at how it responded, one man united and born of God, look at what happened, the dead were raised, storms ceased at His command, thousands were fed with just table scraps, the lame walked, the blind saw, and the world was given a Savior! Now that Man, Jesus our Lord and Savior, said that we would be used by God to do the same things and even greater things. So it is an absolute sure thing that the power of God working through us that we are talking about will come to pass! It absolutely will, that is why Jesus so boldly proclaimed in John 17 that the world will believe. There is no other way for the world all together and all at once to believe unless we are walking in the full and complete power of Jesus, as He is, united and strengthened with God Himself, and perfected for glorious service! Do I mean that all men will believe? I sure hope so! It is the will of our Father that all men be saved, so we should desire the same thing! But if it only means that true Christianity will be working in all nations at one time, so be it. But I sure hope that all men will have it! Will someone else in the power of our Fathers might believe with me?

The Power Of A Holy Church

To the end that He may stablish your hearts unblameable in holiness before God, even our Father, at the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ with all His saints." 1 Thessalonians 3:13

Just look at the world and all that is going on in it: terrorism, abortion, divorce, adultery, and all of the anti-God legislation that is being passed by governments. Religion is not working. But if we would begin to accept and live in what our Father has provided for us, then think of how things would be. Terrorism comes from hopelessness. Jesus gives hope and faith comes from hope, and faith the size of a grain of mustard seed blows a mountain into the sea! Abortion comes from fear, Jesus Author’s faith not fear, and He does it without condemnation! It wouldn’t matter if every judge and every elected official in the land said abortion was legal, if the Church would begin to walk in what we have studied, abortion would end. We would have the answer and the power of God Himself and the love of Christ working through us would conquer it. Women would stop desiring abortions and doctors would stop performing them. I honestly and actually believe that this is the power that Christ has to offer.

Picture the power of Jesus 2000 years ago, and now picture millions of people walking united with Him. Picture millions of people who are now one with Jesus, walking in His full power, in His full love, with His full faith, with His full mind, with His full heart, and with the fullness of God’s Spirit, actually all being one with Jesus! Picture millions of us being used by our Father in the fullness of His power and in the fullness of His love! That is what God’s Word teaches us that we should be. Picture it, and picture a glorious Church without spot and without wrinkle and without blemish, and then hope for the blessings and peace of Christ to be enjoyed throughout all of the world! Now go back and look at what our Father said in 1 Thessalonians 3:13. God said that He would establish us to be holy and unblameable at the coming of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ! Our Father will be working through the end time church in even greater ways than He worked through Jesus 2000 years ago! Just as Jesus said He would in John 14:12. Faith comes from hearing and hearing comes from the Word of our Father!

Jesus Makes Us Unblameable In Righteousness

To the end that He may stablish your hearts unblameable in holiness before God, even our Father, at the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ with all His saints." 1 Thessalonians 3:13

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

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

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

Do you see why our Father is having us talk about these things? Why He is teaching us who we are in Him and since we are one with Him what we actually are? Religion is not working, people may be talking about God and Jesus, but they are not living the life that God has provided for them. Faith comes from hearing the Word of God and our Fathers Word will not fall void to the earth.

We Are Perfect In Christ, So Forget The Past

"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, I press towards the mark for the prize of the high calling of God in Christ Jesus. Let us therefore, as many as be perfect, be thus minded: and if in any thing ye be otherwise minded, God shall reveal even this unto you." Philippians 3:13-15

Sure we all talk about forgetting the wrongs that we have committed, but how many of us actually do it? Well, once again faith comes from hearing and hearing from the Word of God! We are born again of God, through Jesus Christ our Lord and Savior, so who and what we now are have come directly from our Father, Who is God! So let’s look at the Word to see how our Father is.

“As far as the east is from the west, so far hath He removed our transgressions from us.” Psalm 103:12

“And you, being dead in your sins and in the uncircumcision of your flesh, hath He quickened together with Him, having forgiven you all trespasses; Blotting out the handwriting and the ordinances that was against us, which was contrary to us, and took it out of the way, nailing it to the His cross.” Colossians 2:12-13

Our Father has removed all of our sins away from us, as far as the east is from the west, which is as far as it gets! Our Father has forgiven us all of our trespasses by uniting us and by making us alive together with Himself. Through the Cross our Father took all of the ordinances and handwritings that were against us and threw them out the door. Jesus abolished them all, hallelujah, He abolished them all, every last law to convict us by has been done away with! Past, present, and future, all, praise God are gone, removed from us, as far as the east is from the west!

Why do you think King David wrote that we are so blessed? “Even as David also describeth the blessedness of the man, unto whom God imputeth righteousness without works, Saying, blessed are they whose iniquities are forgiven, and whose sins are covered.” Romans 4:6-7 Through Christ we have been raised up to ever live to be one and serve the Living God and just as Jesus died unto sin once, so have we! And today is the Day of this salvation.

Also remember that we now have the Mind of Christ, 1 Corinthians 2:16, so we too can forget all sin. We now have a mind that forgives and removes our own sin and the sin of others.

We Live In The Power Of Jesus' Resurrection

“Likewise reckon ye also yourselves to be dead indeed unto sin, but alive unto God through Jesus Christ our Lord.” Romans 6:11

When does God say that we are to consider ourselves to be dead to sin? In the future or right now? God teaches us that now is our accepted time and that today is the day of our salvation. Through the power of Christ that we have been freely anointed with, we now have freedom from all sin. As the Greek word for salvation, soteria, taught us we are free from the power of sin, the presence of sin, the pleasure of sin, and the penalty of sin. Through the power of the Holy Spirit we know God right now and knowing God means we now have eternal life. “And this is eternal life, that they might know Thee the only true God, and Jesus Christ, Whom Thou hast sent.” John 17:3 We know God, we are now His children, His friends, His servants, and we are now His body. We know our Father, we don’t just know of Him, we actually know Him. That is an awesome thing and something the world needs to hear. God knows us, so why shouldn’t we know Him. If the only thing my kids ever had was letters about me, they would never know me. The Bible is great, I love it, but yet, I don’t want to just read about our Father, I want to know Him. I want to hang out with Him, talk to Him, hear Him, and be taught by Him, I want to be as He is! And He absolutely wants the same things for us! Our Father has provided a way and the way is by being empowered with the Holy Spirit to look unto Jesus to Author and Finish the faith within us that brings the very righteousness of God into us. If we are one with God, we are one with His righteousness. That’s just good and simple Truth!

Our righteousness is as filthy rags, yeh, so what? We no longer look unto our own righteousness for anything; we now only look unto Jesus’ righteousness. We stand before God on Jesus’ merits, not our own. Our best doesn’t even equal Jesus’ worst. Don’t freak out about that, it is only symbolism! Glory, righteousness, sanctification, holiness, and perfection, these are all God’s qualities and when it comes to us He isn’t stingy with any of them, through Christ He has allowed us to become one with them. We are born from them, they are who we are. We can’t help but exhibit these qualities; we are flesh of God’s flesh and bone of His bones. We are born again of all these things, it’s just who we are!

Be blessed this day. Jesus loves you and He has given you everything that pertains unto life and unto godliness!

Through Christ We Know God Completley

"And be found in Him, not having my own righteousness, which is of the law, but that which is through the faith of Christ, the righteousness which is of God by faith: That I may know Him, and the power of His resurrection, and the fellowship of His sufferings, being made conformable unto His death." Philippians 3:10

Look at what the Holy Spirit has Paul write, that he may actually know God. We should want to know God, who is He, what is He, how is He, why is He, all of His fullness; through the power of Christ we can actually know all of God! This only makes sense, He is our Father. We can know the power of our Fathers resurrection, just as Jesus knows it! So what is the power of Jesus’ resurrection? “Knowing that Christ being raised from the dead dieth no more; death hath no more dominion over Him. For in that He died, He died unto sin once; but in that He liveth, He liveth unto God.” Romans 6:9-11

The power of Jesus’ resurrection is that He died unto sin once, that He may forever more live unto and be One with God! And since Jesus died for us, we too can know that power in our own lives! We can know exactly and completely what it is to be free from sin and what it means to be eternally one with God. “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 was raised from the dead to be just as He was before He was manifested on earth as a man, and God teaches us that with His righteousness, we too have the exact same thing. Faith comes from hearing that our salvation means that we are now just like Jesus! We are one with all that He is, He has given us all that He possesses, we are completely one with it! We are now members of Jesus’ body, we are now the branches of the Vine of Christ, and greater is He that is in us than anything that is in this world! As Jesus is One with and as Jesus knows God, so do we in the power of His might!

We Have God's Righteousness

"And be found in Him, not having my own righteousness, which is of the law, but that which is through the faith of Christ, the righteousness which is of God by faith: That I may know Him, and the power of His resurrection, and the fellowship of His sufferings, being made conformable unto His death." Philippians 3:10

Why is it that people believe and have no problem with accepting that we can be filled with satan, demon possessed, and act with outright evil, yet to believe that we can be filled with and one with God and act in His true righteousness is unthinkable? It just never made any sense to me. But look here, Paul didn’t struggle with it and he was encouraging the Philippians to be the same way. We should not want our own righteousness; we should desire the fullness of God’s holiness and righteousness. Think about God’s righteousness, the glory of it, the freedom of it, the love of it, and the power of it, living completely in God’s righteousness should be our desire and hope.

How does God tell us that we can have His righteousness? We are able to have it by faith! "Looking unto Jesus the Author and Finisher of our faith; Who for the joy set before Him endured the cross, despising the shame, and is set down at the right hand of the throne of God." Hebrews 12:2 Jesus will Author and Finish the faith within us so that we can have the very righteousness and holiness of God! Jesus prayed in John 17 that we would have His glory, well what is Jesus’ glory, it’s righteousness; the righteousness that allowed Him to bare all of our sins and not be condemned to eternal death and Hell. Jesus is leading us into the pats of righteousness and Jesus is our Head, and Jesus will insure that we live in and enjoy our Fathers righteousness!

We Are Righteous And Holy Through Christ

"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

How great is this Truth? We are created just like God, in righteousness and true holiness. As new men we have not been born again and created to maintain our old self, our old weaknesses, and our old nature. We have not been renewed as new creatures to just one day go to Heaven; we have been born again of God’s Incorruptible Seed. Through the power of Christ we have been given the very nature of our Father Himself. We have been filled with our Fathers fullness. We have become one with His Spirit and we have been born again in true righteousness and holiness! These Truth’s of our salvation mean something; we have the mind of Christ that allows us to accept them in all of their glory. Faith come for us by hearing the Truth and the Truth sets us free! And the Truth is that we are one with God through Jesus and as our Father is, so are we in this world, 1 John 4:17, Romans 8:29, 2 Corinthians 3:18, 2 Peter 1:4, and 1 John 3:2!

Father I thank You that You empower all of us with all of Your fullness to really accept and to share in all of Your Truth. I ask You Father that You use us to give the Truth in love and in power and demonstration of Your Spirit; that our minds are renewed with all of Your Truth. Father the world needs to hear, the attention needs to come off of man and it needs to be directed towards You, allow us the honor of being used by You to share Your will in every situation. Empower us with boldness to sow Your Seed to all that we come into contact with: to the good ground as well as the stony and thorny ground! I ask this in Jesus’ Name, A-men!

Jesus loves You and so do I. With Jesus as your Lord you cannot help but to be blessed this day with the full power of our Fathers might. The Holy Spirit will empower you and allow our Father to be fully Who He is in you. You are of God’s seed, you are His Temple, and satan will no longer keep us from the Truth, we are set free by it, the thief has lost all power to destroy us! "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 5:26-27

God Isn't Condemning 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

Have you ever been around religious people who are always finding fault with themselves? They do this because they do not know who they are in Christ. For whatever reason they have not been empowered by the Holy Spirit to allow God to indwell them, and they are trying to earn their relationship with God through works. And the Truth is that they never will! My kids, Kennedy and Lauren, never could do anything to become my kids; Beth and I had to birth them. Without me they would not be, they have fellowship with me, because Beth and I chose to have them, they are built upon the foundation of Beth and I! It’s exactly the same with God; we are not earning our fellowship and our unity with God, because it has been given to us. God birthed us, He chose to have us, we have been born again of His seed, we are only alive because of Him. His Spirit is within us, and our characteristics are directly from Him. We have the new heart that He has given us, we now have the mind of Christ, we are members of His body, of His flesh, His bones, and we now have His Spirit! Now as children we will grow, but as children our parents determine what we are, our DNA, our genes are directly from them, and our Father is now God, we have been born again form His Incorruptible Seed! You can’t be born of God and have the characteristics of another father, it’s impossible, we are from His seed. Now a person could tell you that they are Beth and mines child, but there testimony would be false. Only those children born of us, are ours!

Now if Beth and I are able to do this how much more has God done with us? He not only birthed us, He now indwells us, so that we will never be apart from Him. He has sealed us with His very Spirit, and He ever lives to intercede for us. Unlike with human parents and kids, we are never left alone; we are constantly in fellowship with our Father. Never does satan or evil have an opportunity to grab us because we are separated, we are now the Holy Habitation of God, we are His friends, and we are His kids! Satan can only do to us what he can do to God, and that is nothing! God is the perfect Father and He knows how to raise us into perfect children. I don’t think this is talked about enough. We say Father, but it’s just words, God is our Father and we are His kids, we are His habitation, and Who He is has been born into us and we are now one with it. Our Father is love, and through Christ we are now one with it, how can we be anything but love, it’s where we came from, it’s what we are one with? And of course we are holy, because our Father, the One Who sanctifies us, is Holy, and we are one with Him!

We Are Not Strangers To God

“Henceforth I call you not servants; for the servant knoweth not what His lord doeth: but I have called you friends; for all things that I have heard of My Father I have made known unto you.” John 15:15

We are no longer strangers to God, and far more importantly He is no longer a stranger to us, and the great Truth is that we are actually now His friends. You ever know someone who is not a friend of their parents? Sure they are their kids, but yet they aren’t friends. The parents do things and the kids do things and they never really share or fellowship. Well this is not how we are with God, our Father now dwells within us, He shares His all with us, and all things that Jesus has heard from God, He turns around and tells us. We fellowship and we commune with God Himself! Through Christ we are filled with the fullness of our Father. God likes us, He just doesn’t love us, He actually likes us! And through Christ we eternally fellowship and communicate with God our Father, without any condemnation whatsoever, we have been cleansed by the Blood and we are built upon Jesus. We are now members of our Fathers body, flesh of His flesh, and bone of His bone! As He is, so are we in this world! Today is the Day of our Salvation and now is our accepted time. If Jesus is our Lord than we cannot help but to blessed in the complete and full power of His might!
