AN ALL-TRUE CARTOON...NOT FUNNY AT ALL!

I am not sharing this for laughs.  I came across it while looking for funny and clean things because it's healthy and good medicine to laugh.  God delights when His children play.  He gave us this gift and one I use as often as possible.  I never mean to be irreverent or disrespectful ever. I do, however, think this cartoon makes a very valid point and wasn't meant to be funny but rather to show the reality of what many church buildings and pastors have become.  I am not very politically correct.  However, I also believe that just because you have the right to say something, doesn't make it right to say it.  However, when you become SO politically correct that you compromise God's word for fear of offending someone, that might not be the church you should attend.  That's not just MY personal opinion but that of many others.  Here's the cartoon and just think about what it is really saying and what is wrong in our churches today.  It's why many, including myself until recently, have abandoned all organized churches.  We must stand firm and never, ever, ever compromise God's word regardless of who it offends (and it offends many) but our Spiritual leaders who do, I pray they repent and get back to their first love...Christ Jesus. Spread the Gospel!  First Corinthians 15:1-4!  Grace not works!


PRAY FOR THESE PASTORS AND THEIR FLOCK!



MORE LAUGHTER...IT'S GREAT MEDICINE SO TAKE IT, YOU'LL LIVE LONGER AND BE HAPPIER!

I believe laughter is one of God's greatest gifts to us.  I do not ever mean to be irreverent to God in my cartoons and jokes.  PLEASE let me know if you ever think I've gone too far.  I've seen many supposed Christian jokes I do not find funny and would never share.  However, God loves for His children to have fun.  I share only to make you smile.  Be safe and blessed this weekend. Share the Gospel of Grace.  The Plan of Salvation is on the bottom of this blog if anyone needs it and always feel free to email me for any questions.  God bless you all!








I really like this one.  God bless and Spread the Gospel of Grace!

Death + Burial + Resurrection in body = Salvation!

Not words nor deed - Ephesians 2:8-9

AMEN!

MYSTERY SOLVED - THE BOOK OF REVELATION AND THE 7 SEALS EXPLAINED VIDEO BY TRIBULATION SAINTS

This is a good video to help you learn to understand the book of Revelation.  We have to understand the outline and then the metaphors and symbols.  It helps me.  I hope it gives you some perspective as well.  He's not a prophet but is on fire for our Lord and Savior and I have never heard him preach the wrong Gospel of Salvation.  He helps us be not deceived.  God bless and the entire plan of salvation can be found at the bottom of this blog and on many sermons and posts.  I only preach the Gospel of Christ as given to the Apostle Paul in First Corinthians 15:1-4, the Gospel of Grace alone.  Be blessed and you can subscribe to his channel and watch his many videos.  He knows his Bible!



Shalom!

TRIBULATION SAINTS VIDEO

I've watched many of his videos and he's on fire for true Gospel of Christ Jesus.  In this he is warning us about false prophets, true prophets that slowly lead you astray, and about how we are now under a strong delusion and confusion.  He mentions how strong Billy Graham started out but is now saying you don't even need to know the name of Jesus Christ to be saved.  You may not like him, I didn't at first but he is not a prophet but he speaks only the word of God.  Be the elect, not just the chosen is his message.  Trust in God, not man.  I recommend watching his videos and you decide for yourself.  He admits he is wrong, he's not a prophet and we all think things but how can we know?  Only by God's Word alone.  Be in Christ, not in this world.  Enjoy!


God Bless and Peace to All!

First Corinthians 15:1-4

Gospel of Grace

BREAKFAST BY THE SEA - BY STAN ARNEY

Breakfast By The Sea



John 21:1-14

AFTER These Things, Jesus SHOWED Himself, AGAIN, TO The Disciples AT The Sea of Tiberias, AND IN THIS WAY, He (Jesus) SHOWED Himself:

Simon Peter, Thomas, called The Twin, Nathanael of Cana in Galilee, The Sons of Zebedee (John and James), and Two Others of His Disciples were together. Simon Peter said to Them, “I am going fishing.” They said to Him (Simon Peter), “We are going with you also.” They went out and immediately got into the boat, and THAT NIGHT, They Caught NOTHING.

BUT, When The Morning Had NOW COME, Jesus STOOD ON The Shore; YET The Disciples Did NOT Know That IT WAS Jesus. THEN Jesus SAID TO Them, “Children, Have YOU ANY Food?” They answered Him (Jesus), “NO.” And He (Jesus) SAID TO Them, “CAST The Net ON The Right Side of The Boat, AND YOU WILL FIND SOME.” So They CAST, AND NOW, They WERE NOT ABLE TO DRAW IT (The Net) IN, BECAUSE OF The Multitude of Fish.

Therefore, THAT Disciple (John), Whom Jesus Loved, said to Peter, “IT IS The LORD (Jesus)!” Now, When Simon Peter HEARD, That IT WAS The LORD (Jesus), He (Simon Peter) PUT ON His Outer Garment (For He Had REMOVED IT), AND PLUNGED INTO The Sea (The Sea of Tiberias). BUT, The Other Disciples CAME IN The Little Boat (For They were NOT far from land, but about Two Hundred Cubits), DRAGGING The Net WITH Fish. THEN, AS SOON AS They Had COME TO Land, They SAW A Fire of Coals THERE, AND Fish LAID ON IT, AND Bread. Jesus SAID TO Them, “BRING SOME of The Fish, Which YOU Have JUST CAUGHT.”

Simon Peter WENT UP AND DRAGGED The Net TO Land, FULL of Large Fish, One Hundred AND Fifty-Three (Large Fish); AND Although There Were SO Many, The Net WAS NOT Broken. Jesus SAID TO Them, “COME AND EAT Breakfast.” YET, NONE of The Disciples DARED ASK Him (Jesus), “WHO ARE YOU?” KNOWING THAT IT WAS The LORD (Jesus). Jesus THEN, CAME AND TOOK The Bread AND GAVE IT TO Them, AND LIKEWISE, The Fish.

THIS IS NOW, The Third Time, Jesus SHOWED Himself TO His Disciples, AFTER He WAS RAISED (ALIVE) FROM The Dead (BY GOD Almighty).

John 21:15-17, 19b

So, When They HAD EATEN Breakfast, Jesus SAID TO Simon Peter, “Simon, Son of Jonah, DO YOU LOVE Me, MORE THAN THESE?” He (Simon Peter) said to Him (Jesus), “YES, LORD; YOU KNOW THAT I LOVE YOU.” He (Jesus) SAID TO Him (Simon Peter), “FEED My Lambs.”

He (Jesus) SAID TO Him (Simon Peter), AGAIN, A Second Time, “Simon, son of Jonah, DO YOU LOVE Me?” He (Simon Peter) said to Him (Jesus), “YES, LORD; YOU KNOW THAT I LOVE YOU.” He (Jesus) SAID TO Him (Simon Peter), “TEND My Sheep.”

He (Jesus) SAID TO Him (Simon Peter) The Third Time, “Simon, son of Jonah, DO YOU LOVE Me?” Peter WAS GRIEVED, BECAUSE He (Jesus) SAID TO Him, The Third Time, “DO YOU LOVE Me?” AND He (Simon Peter) said to Him (Jesus), “LORD, YOU KNOW ALL THINGS; YOU KNOW THAT I LOVE YOU.” Jesus SAID TO Him (Simon Peter), “FEED My Sheep.”

AND When He (Jesus) Had SPOKEN THIS, He (Jesus) SAID TO Him (Simon Peter), “FOLLOW Me.”

Fellow Believers, Our LORD and Savior, Jesus Christ, IS COMMANDING EACH OF Us, “TO FEED His Lambs, TO TEND His Sheep, AND YES, TO FEED His Sheep, ALWAYS!”

So, you are probably asking yourself, What Does THIS Mean? You’re probably saying to yourself, that’s My Pastor’s Job NOT Mine, am I right? Well, you would be partially correct, yes, it’s Your Pastor’s Job to do These Things, BUT IT IS ALSO, Your Job TO DO These Things, BOTH literally and figuratively. ALL OF Us (Believers) ARE Jesus Christ’s LIGHT Upon This World, That’s Right, I said ALL OF Us! We ALL ARE Ministers OF The Gospel OF Jesus Christ, AND We ALL Have The SAME Commission, TO Share The Gospel OF Jesus Christ, WITH EVERYONE, Who Has Ears TO HEAR AND Has Eyes TO SEE The TRUTH!

We KNOW That Jesus Christ ABIDES WITHIN Us, THROUGH The Holy Spirit, AND That GOD Almighty WATCHES OVER Us, ALWAYS! We KNOW That AS We READ The Holy Bible, GOD Almighty SPEAKS TO Us, BOTH THROUGH HIS WORDS We READ, BUT ALSO, What HE SAYS TO Our Hearts, AS We READ! And We ARE All ON Different Paths, Different Walks, IN Our Christian Lives. GOD Almighty CREATES A Specific Path (His Path) For EACH OF Us To Walk, AND NOT A Single One, IS THE SAME! What GOD Almighty REVEALS TO YOU, Today, Will NOT BE The Same, AS What GOD Almighty REVEALS TO Me, Today, and THIS IS A Wonderful Thing, A TRUE BLESSING, For EACH OF Us. REJOICE IN THIS FACT!

Remember, GOD Almighty Will Reveal Things, He Wants YOU TO KNOW, Yourself, AND GOD Almighty WILL REVEAL THINGS, He Wants YOU TO SHARE WITH Others, TO Fellow Believers, BUT Also, TO Yet-To-Be-Believers AND TO Unbelievers, as well. Why do you think there are so many Holy Bible Commentaries “out there”, because Fellow Believers are sharing what GOD Almighty ASKED Them TO Share. KNOW THIS, What GOD Almighty REVEALS TO YOU, IS Specifically TO YOU, BUT NOT Specifically ONLY FOR YOU, I pray this makes sense to you.

Act 2:17-18

BUT Peter, STANDING UP, WITH The Eleven, RAISED His Voice AND SAID TO Them, “AND IT Shall COME TO PASS, IN The LAST DAYS, SAYS GOD (GOD Almighty), That I (GOD Almighty) WILL POUR OUT OF My Spirit (The Holy Spirit) ON ALL Flesh (Believers); Your Sons AND Your Daughters Shall PROPHESY, Your Young Men Shall SEE VISIONS, Your Old Men Shall Dream DREAMS. AND ON My Menservants AND ON My Maidservants I (GOD Almighty) WILL POUR OUT My Spirit (The Holy Spirit) IN THOSE DAYS; AND They Shall PROPHESY.”

The Being Caught Up Together May Occur IN The Next Millisecond, So, There IS NO Time TO Waste, GET OUT There, Show YOU Care, AND Share The Gospel OF Jesus Christ.

Stand with GOD Almighty, Jesus Christ, and The Holy Spirit, Always, and They will Always, Stand with YOU !!!!!!!

THE GOOD NEWS IN A BAD NEWS WORLD BY ABALONEKID

I always share Essential Gospel truths with the brethren. Jesus is our sure foundation.We live in perilous times. There are many heresies abroad and error. We must be diligent and well informed. May this share bless you in your ministries in Christ Jesus our Lord and Savior.

THE LIGHT OF JESUS SHINES THROUGH US: WHOSOEVER BELIEVES WILL BE SAVED

IT'S ALL ABOUT JESUS, SALVATION, AND BECOMING HOLY LIKE UNTO HIM

ESSENTIAL GOSPEL TRUTHS

God bless you in your ministries God has assigned you for His Glory..

This study will uplift you in it's fullness in Jesus Christ.

MY PRAYER FOR YOU

Father, in the Holy name of our Lord Jesus Christ, I pray for a great anointing of the Gospel that your beloved Saint proclaims to the world. That it be blessed to move the lost in ways that you desire as well as pierce the hardened heart of those who will reject it, thereby putting them on notice that you have spoken to them through this ministry, by the Holy Spirit. A TRUMPETS CALL! for the Glory of Jesus and salvation of poor lost souls bound for Hell and the Lake of Fire forever.

I pray that you encourage your beloved who serves you to be bold in your love and never give in to the forces around us that would constrain the continuation of this work in faith and that the Spirit fill us daily for battle with the Gospel of peace that we wear on feet destined to walk in your presence one day.

In Jesus name I pray.


Romans 10: 14 How then shall they call on him in whom they have not believed? and how shall they believe in him of whom they have not heard? and how shall they hear without a preacher?
.
OUR SURE HOPE

The church is an eternal bequest from the Father to the Son, as His Bride. We are a heavenly Bride. Our home is above in the New Jerusalem.

Everyone of us the Father has given Jesus will be taken Home (John 14:1-3) We are known to each other by the FRUITS of the Holy Spirit exhibited in our daily life and ministries in Christ. The greatest of these is His kind of LOVE in all we live and breath. 

IF WE LIVE WE LIVE BECAUSE OF HIM AND HIS LIGHT IN US 

Jesus loves us. Rev.1:5. He came to earth born of a virgin, Mary; Isaiah 7:14; by the power of God the Holy Spirit, and lived a sinless life as Emmanuel, God, in human flesh and bones with us! Mt.1:18-25. That life He gave for us, John 10:11, and our sins He paid for by His sinless blood, Rom.5:8-9, on a cross of shame. 2 Cor.5:21; He was buried and rose from the dead the 3rd day.1 Cor.15:3-4. By His finished salvation Jesus delivered those who believe in Him from an eternal judgment on sins. John 3:16; 5:29; Rev.20:11-15. He is our High Priest above in ministry for us, Hebrews 4:12-16; 7:25; 9:24 **and our sins 1 John 1:5-10; 2:1-2. He is returning for His blessed Bride.John 14:1-3. He can come AT ANY MOMENT.Titus 2:12-14. Nothing can stop Him. Heb.1:13; Col.1:16 He is God The Son, Lord and Savior of all repentant believing sinners; Rom.10:9-10, we are His sheep, His Family in the faith by the grace of Almighty God. Eph.2:8-10. And He promised us He would never leave us nor forsake us; Heb.13:5. He is IN us now by the Holy Spirit; 1 Cor.6:19; "In whom [Christ] 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, and that one FINE day He would personally come for us, Rev.22:12; and that He would COMPLETE OUR SALVATION, 1 John 3:1-3; Phil 3:21 by calling us up from the heavens above the earth to be with Him as His Bride,1 Thess.4:16-17 in His Heavenly Kingdom, John 18:36 and the golden city He built for us, Rev.21:2-5, the New Jerusalem above, forever! ***John 14:2-3... AMEN!

The groom (Christ) has gone away and will return for His Bride BEFORE He JUDGES SINNERS ON THE EARTH. Our Husband has no plans to ravage His Bride to be, nor TEST her! His Gospel believed IS THE TICKET to the Wedding up yonder.. Rev.3:10

" Because thou hast kept the word of my patience, I also will keep thee from the hour of temptation, which shall come upon all the world, to try them that dwell upon the earth "

"JESUS IS LORD" (THE HOLY SPIRIT WITNESS IN US)

"That if you confess with your mouth, 'Jesus is Lord,' and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved. For it is with your heart that you believe and are justified, and it is with your mouth that you confess and are saved" Romans 10:9-10. 

And this salvation is unto Eternal life.

John 5:24: Verily, verily, I say unto you, He that heareth my word, and believeth on him that sent me, hath everlasting life, and shall not come into condemnation; but is passed from death unto life. (see John 3:16; 6:47; 6:51,58; 1 John 5:13)

A PROMISE GOD KEEPS: WE ARE HIS WITNESS

"Ye have not chosen me, but I have chosen you, and ordained you, that ye should go and bring forth fruit, and that your fruit should remain: that whatsoever ye shall ask of the Father in my name, he may give it you." John 15: 16

God our Father, I ask you to bless your word that goes out, by the Holy Spirit, in each loving heart in Christ who receive it. I pray in Jesus Holy name.

THE GOSPEL PURE AND BIBLE BASED

" Moreover, brethren, I declare unto you the gospel which I preached unto you, which also you have received, and in which you stand; By which also you are saved, if you keep in memory what I preached unto you, unless you have believed in vain. For I delivered unto you first of all that which I also received, that Christ died for our sins according to the scriptures; And that he was buried, and that he rose again the third day according to the scriptures: and that he was seen of Peter, then of the Twelve....." 1 Cor.15:1-5

ESSENTIAL GOSPEL TRUTHS WE CAN COUNT ON IN MINISTERING TO THE LOST.

There is no sinless Gospel.

WITHOUT " Christ died for our sins..." Repentance is just an empty word without any attendant convicting ministry of the Holy Spirit that faith from God empowers in the called out believer. Those who profess Christ without conviction of sin will be led to a false belief and not saved.

WHAT IS BIBLE BASED REPENTANCE?

"Repentance" in the Bible means a change of mind, heart and direction. 

Luke 5:32
" I came not to call the righteous, but sinners to repentance."

The full biblical definition of repentance is a change of mind of our lack of belief that GOD IS: that JESUS LIVES AND IS LORD GOD AND SAVIOR WHO SHED HIS SINLESS BLOOD ON THE CROSS, DIED FOR OUR SINS , AND ROSE FROM THE DEAD and WE ARE LOST SINNERS UNDER JUDGMENT; that this divine realization results in a change of mind, heart, action and ambitions, in our life.

This begins NOT as a condition we must satisfy by our doing this or not doing that which we did before we were saved,(sinning!) but IS the result of receiving a saving faith (God gives), (Eph.2:8-9) to BELIEVE who Jesus is (Acts 2:36 ) and what He has done and being convicted of our sinful nature by the Holy Spirit and that we are lost sinners bound for Hell, that our walk in Christ, after we believe, exemplifies, as a change in our behavior (2 Corinthians 5:17; Galatians 5:19-23; James 2:14-26), witnessed by our works in faith wrapped in the fruits the Holy Spirit provides through us, (Matt. 3:8; in particular His Love) as proof of repentance. Galatians 5: 22-23

" But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, forbearance, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness and self-control. Against such things there is no law."(Gal.5:22-23) (Shall we continue to practice sin as our way of living? God forbid! Romans 6:1-2)

It is crucially important that we understand repentance is not a work we do to earn salvation. No one can repent and come to God unless God pulls that person to Himself (John 6:44). Acts 11:18 indicates that repentance is something God gives—it is only possible because of His grace through faith God gives.(Eph. 2:8) All of salvation, including repentance and faith, is a result of God drawing us, opening our eyes, and changing our hearts. God's long suffering leads us to REPENTANCE (2 Peter 3:9), as does His kindness (Romans 2:4).

Turning from sin is not the definition of repentance, but it is one of the results of genuine faith-based repentance, AFTER Salvation vests through the Lord Jesus Christ.

THE HERESY OF "WE" DO

Never fall for a "Gospel" that says we must abandon sin first (a false claim of what repentance is) AND turn our life over to God (a fallacy since we are still in our sins, nor does God want our dead life, but will provide new life, by The Holy Spirit in us, in whom Jesus works through for us, and this eternal life is for His Glory)

SALVATION IS A FREE GIFT OF GOD

Ephesians 2:8-9 "For it is by grace you have been saved, through faith—and this not from yourselves, it is the gift of God— not by works, so that no one can boast."

And what God gives, through Christ, LET NO ONE put asunder by any condition, any sign, any law, anything that denies the perfect work of Jesus and the Eternal salvation He bestows through what He FINISHED for we, His bride to be.

NO WORKS GOSPEL

There is no Gospel preached that mixes in ANYTHING man does, could do, must do but confess belief in Jesus Christ as Lord and Savior according to the Gospel and if it does, is another Gospel ( ie: using "repentance", one facet of which is a CHANGE OF MIND about our sinful nature, produced by Godly sorrow for sin, accomplished by the Holy Spirit convicting ministry through the Gospel received, and demanding ACTIONS that show such repentance as a CONDITION of salvation is false ), or any act we must do, not do, or do perfectly, BUT BELIEVE! is another Gospel; that God condemns. Galatians 1:6-9

We are justified IN CHRIST, not ourselves nor in our progress, after being saved, in being made Holy (Sanctification)

Romans 3:21-26
21 But now the righteousness of God without the law is manifested, being witnessed by the law and the prophets;

22 Even the righteousness of God which is by faith of Jesus Christ unto all and upon all them that believe: for there is no difference:

23 For all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God;

24 Being justified freely by his grace through the redemption that is in Christ Jesus:

25 Whom God hath set forth to be a propitiation through faith in his blood, to declare his righteousness for the remission of sins that are past, through the forbearance of God;

26 To declare, I say, at this time his righteousness: that he might be just, and the justifier of him which believeth in Jesus.

No Gospel's salvation is proven by man's keeping of any law, a Sabbath. Being in Christ is our Sabbath rest in this day of grace. It is, IN CHRIST, everyday in faithful work as He (See John 5:17). He finished our redemption, not by us keeping law (Hebrews 4:1,11; Gal.4:1-2; Col.2: 16-17 ); or receiving a Baptism, speaking in tongues, not anything but by Christ alone.

THE DEVIL LOVES "CONDITIONS" AND NOT PURE GRACE THROUGH FAITH!

1 Tim.4:1-2
" Now the Spirit speaks expressly, that in the latter times some shall depart from the faith, giving heed to seducing spirits, and doctrines of devils; Speaking lies in hypocrisy; having their conscience seared with a hot iron;"

WARNING! (ANY WORK OF MAN (ANY!) ) BEWARE OF ANOTHER GOSPEL WHICH IS NO GOSPEL

ANOTHER GOSPEL

Galatians 1:
6 I marvel that ye are so soon removed from him that called you into the grace of Christ unto another gospel:

7 Which is not another; but there be some that trouble you, and would pervert the gospel of Christ.

8 But though we, or an angel from heaven, preach any other gospel unto you than that which we have preached unto you, let him be accursed.

9 As we said before, so say I now again, if any man preach any other gospel unto you than that ye have received, let him be accursed.

THE JOURNEY OF SALVATION

WE ARE BLAMELESS, NOT SINLESS: BEING MADE HOLY (SANCTIFICATION) A LIFELONG JOURNEY

Romans 8:34
" Who is he that condemns? It is Christ that died, yea rather, that is risen again, who is even at the right hand of God, who also makes intercession for us. (For our sin as well, daily! as our High Priest)

Repentance is lifelong. It IS becoming Holy unto the Lord also called being sanctified. It is NOT without failures. We will sin, but no longer as our natural habit as a lifestyle, for conviction is in us by The Holy Spirit. And God has provided a means to restore our lost fellowship with Him when we sin (NOT IF! WHEN!). (See 1 John 1:5-10; 2:1)

1 John 1:
5 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.

6 If we say that we have fellowship with him, and walk in darkness, we lie, and do not the truth:

7 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 cleans us from our sin.

8 If we say that we have no sin, we deceive ourselves, and the truth is not in us.

9 If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just to forgive us our sins, and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness.

10 If we say that we have not sinned, we make him a liar, and his word is not in us.

WHY DO WE HAVE WE HAVE A HIGH PRIEST 24/7 IN HEAVEN?

Hebrews 4:
14 Seeing then that we have a great high priest, that is passed into the heavens, Jesus the Son of God, let us hold fast our profession.

15 For we have not an high priest which cannot be touched with the feeling of our infirmities; but was in all points tempted like as we are, yet without sin.

16 Let us therefore come boldly unto the throne of grace, that we may obtain mercy, and find grace to help in time of need.

SIN NATURE IS STILL IN US

1 John 2:1
" 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:"

We sin. Sin grieves God in us. Fellowship is broken with our Father. We confess sin in Christ. His High Priestly ministry, BY HIS BLOOD, renews our fellowship with God. The broken fellowship also binds the Holy Spirit in us and we are without fillings of Him for faithful service until sin is confessed in prayer to our Father through Jesus.

I am convinced that many Christians who reject that they sin and do not seek God in prayer to renew fellowship can be and often ARE deceived by demon spirits that they are serving God and here is where heresy and loveless conduct begins in that one who then becomes holier then thou! Many swear they sin NOT! NEVER! They ARE deceived and not IN Christ until they pray for forgiveness. For sin breaks fellowship with God and binds the Holy Spirit in us.

Romans 7:
20 Now if I do that I would not, it is no more I that do it, but sin that dwells in me.

21 I find then a law, that, when I would do good, evil is present with me.

22 For I delight in the law of God after the inward man:

23 But I see another law in my members, warring against the law of my mind, and bringing me into captivity to the law of sin which is in my members.

24 O wretched man that I am! who shall deliver me from the body of this death?

25 I thank God through Jesus Christ our Lord. So then with the mind I myself serve the law of God; but with the flesh the law of sin.

Hebrews 12:
1 Wherefore seeing we also are compassed about with so great a cloud of witnesses, let us lay aside every weight, and the sin which doth so easily beset us, and let us run with patience the race that is set before us 2 Looking unto Jesus the author and finisher of our faith; who for the joy that was set before him endured the cross, despising the shame, and is set down at the right hand of the throne of God.

THE CONCLUSION OF SALVATION AT THE "RAPTURE"

We are now blameless IN CHRIST, 1 Cor.1:8, not faultless!

1 Cor.1:
8 Who shall also confirm you unto the end, that ye may be blameless in the day of our Lord Jesus Christ.

PERFECTED! (We shall be like Jesus)

At His call we will be perfected. 1 John 3:1-3; Phil.3:21

1 John 3:
1 Behold, what manner of love the Father hath bestowed upon us, that we should be called the sons of God: therefore the world knoweth us not, because it knew him not.

2 Beloved, now are we the sons of God, and it doth not yet appear what we shall be: but we know that, when he shall appear, we shall be like him; for we shall see him as he is.

3 And every man that hath this hope in him purifieth himself, even as he is pure.

Philippians 3:
21 Who shall change our vile body, that it may be fashioned like unto his glorious body, according to the working whereby he is able even to subdue all things unto himself.

HE NEVER LEAVES US! 24/7 MINISTRY OF JESUS

LIKE JESUS SAID: "IF I DON'T WASH YOU DAILY YOU ARE NOT MINE"

This IS by His blood in the heavenly sanctuary which will KEEP us in Him even if we do not pray for the forgiveness of our sins, for He has finished our redemption and took our judgment of death; yet we need to pray through Him, to our Father, that fellowship is ours daily, in Him, to serve God, in the fullness of the Holy Spirit whose power IN US is bound by sins NOT confessed (daily)!

WE WILL SIN

1 John 2:1
" 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:"

Repeat: Romans 7:
23 But I see another law in my members, warring against the law of my mind, and bringing me into captivity to the law of sin which is in my members.

24 O wretched man that I am! who shall deliver me from the body of this death?

25 I thank God through Jesus Christ our Lord. So then with the mind I myself serve the law of God; but with the flesh the law of sin.

CAUTION!

Believers do NOT live in continuous sin! We will be convicted by the Spirit. We will be unhappy and being out of the faith, in sin, dead to God!

1 John 3:6 (If we are His we do NOT practice sin (sins not) as our lifestyle)

Whosoever abides in him sins not: whosoever sins (continuous) has not seen him, neither known him.

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

Verse 9 ABOVE says that those who have been “born of God” will not continue to live sinfully. But we do sin.

1 John 1:
9 If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just to forgive us our sins, and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness.

WE ARE CONSTANT OVER COMERS!

When we are born again, we have a new (Holy Spirit/ Christ Jesus in us) nature and power to live in it and overcome OUR DEAD SIN NATURE ALSO STILL A PART OF US!, and we cannot continue in sin. Christ ( by the Holy Spirit) transforms our hearts so that we no longer desire it. Yet we must strive, In Him, to live THROUGH HIM.

Colossians 3: (Please see: verses 5-25!)
1 If ye then be risen with Christ, seek those things which are above, where Christ sitteth on the right hand of God.

2 Set your affection on things above, not on things on the earth. 3 For ye are dead, and your life is hid with Christ in God. 4 When Christ, who is our life, shall appear, then shall ye also appear with him in glory.

DAILY PRAYER FOR SERVICE IN THE FULLNESS OF THE HOLY SPIRIT

1 John 5:
12 He that hath the Son hath life; and he that hath not the Son of God hath not life.

13 These things have I written unto you that believe on the name of the Son of God; that ye may know that ye have eternal life, and that ye may believe on the name of the Son of God.

14 And this is the confidence that we have in him, that, if we ask any thing according to his will, he heareth us:

15 And if we know that he hear us, whatsoever we ask, we know that we have the petitions that we desired of him.

FOR THE GLORY OF GOD

We are engaged to be married to our Lord. God our Father will see us through to that blessed day. The Holy Spirit baptized and sealed us as the guarantee. Jesus keeps us as our High Priest above, His blood cleans us daily, our sins confessed, our Father forgives in Christ.

We are saved forever and renewed daily as we being "In Christ" renew broken fellowship with our Father through sin, confess sin, and, do NOT practice sinning, for Christ died to deliver us from all sins, and empowers us for life lived in Him for the Glory of God . 1 John 1:6-10; 2:1

ONE BODY IN CHRIST. ONE CHURCH OF THE FAITHFUL. ONE COMMON PURPOSE.

Romans 12:
So we, being many, are one body in Christ, and every one members one of another.

Colossians 3:17 "And whatsoever you do in word or deed, do all in the name of the Lord Jesus, giving thanks to God the Father by him."

THE GLORIOUS GOSPEL

Is there a message that gives greater glory to God then the Gospel of Jesus Christ?

The eternal purpose of salvation is to make us capable of glorifying God forever.

1 Thessalonians 2:4
"But as we were allowed of God to be put in trust with the gospel, even so we speak; not as pleasing men, but God, who tests our hearts."

Romans 1:16
"For I am not ashamed of the gospel, for it is the power of God for salvation to everyone who believes, to the Jew first and also to the Greek."

God has ordained that we in our faithful evangelism would be the means by which He would save His own whom the Father has given Him. To be faithful to Him is the purpose in the fulfillment of His sovereign plan, to be an instrument that He can use, to be a vessel unto honor, fit for the Master's use. To be obedient because that brings, of course, blessings, and eternal rewards as well.

MIRACLE WORKERS REVIVAL
.
BY HIS BLOOD WE ARE MIRACLE WORKERS!

"But we see Jesus, who was made a little lower then the angels for the suffering of death, crowned with glory and honor; that he by the grace of God should taste death for every man". Hebrews 2:9

" Neither by the blood of goats and calves, but by his own blood he entered in once into the holy place, having obtained eternal redemption for us." Hebrews 9:12

" For this is my blood of the new testament, which is shed for many for the remission of sins." Mt.26:28 (See also 1 Cor.11:25; 2 Cor.3:6)

" For by one offering he hath perfected for ever them that are sanctified." Hebrews 10:14

" But God commendeth his love toward us, in that, while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us. 9 Much more then, being now justified by his blood, we shall be saved from wrath through him." Romans 5:8-9
.
THE GREAT MIRACLE OF LIFE FROM SPIRITUAL DEATH & LIVING DEATH FOREVER

" Whose soever sins ye remit, they are remitted unto them; and whose soever sins ye retain, they are retained." John 20:23

We do not forgive sins; He does. He paid the penalty of death. He rose. He finished the greatest work: SALVATION of the lost of all times who believe. And how do "we" remit sins? By telling the lost sinner THE GOSPEL OF THE GRACE OF GOD. And this we do through His word. "So then faith comes by hearing, and hearing by the word of God." Romans 10:17

We are His living witness. Because He lives through us here, we live to live through Him and keep His commands.

" And that he died for all, that they who live should no longer live unto themselves, but unto him who died for them, and rose again." 2 Cor.5:15

WHAT WE NEED TO KNOW ABOUT SIN TO SHARE WITH THE BRETHREN & THE LOST

" But the scripture hath concluded all under sin, that the promise by faith of Jesus Christ might be given to them that believe." Galatians 3:22

The cross then demonstrates the righteousness of God, puts the justice of God on display by showing that He couldn’t pass over sin, He couldn’t pass over sin’s just judgment.

The cross then satisfies God. Christ died for God in the sense that the cross declares God’s justice, God’s grace, God’s consistency and it also confirms God’s Law…it confirms God’s Law.

THE JUDGMENT OF GOD ON SIN IS ETERNAL: A LIVING DEATH

What does it mean to "PERISH"? (John 3:16) " For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life."

It means the body of flesh and bones ceases to exist but the soul and spirit of man which was made to last forever, if one dies in their sins, continues into eternity in some bodily form, in a conscious state referred to as the "second death", in a place apart from God called "The Lake Of Fire".

Daniel 12:2
" And many of them that sleep in the dust of the earth shall awake, some to everlasting life, and some to shame and everlasting contempt."

Matthew 25:46
"And these shall go away into everlasting punishment: but the righteous into life eternal."

THE DAY OF JUDGMENT

Every sin ever committed by every person who has ever lived will be paid for…every sin. No sin will go unpunished. Every sin will be paid for. Either the sinner will pay for it, in eternal judgment and never be able to pay for it in full, or it was paid for in full in the sacrifice of Jesus Christ. But every sin will be paid for. God is so committed to mercy that He forgives. He is so committed to justice that He puts His Son on a cross as the perfect sacrifice that His justice requires.

John 5:29

"29 And shall come forth; they that have done good, unto the resurrection of life; and they that have done evil, unto the resurrection of damnation."( The Great White Throne judgment of Rev.20:11-15).

Revelation 21:8 (Read Verses 11-15)
"But the fearful, and unbelieving, and the abominable, and murderers, and fornicators, and sorcerers, and idolaters, and all liars, shall have their part in the lake which burns with fire and brimstone: which is the second death.

2 Thess. 1:7-9
" And to you who are troubled rest with us, when the Lord Jesus shall be revealed from heaven with his mighty angels, In flaming fire taking vengeance on them that know not God, and that obey not the gospel of our Lord Jesus Christ: Who shall be punished with everlasting destruction from the presence of the Lord, and from the glory of his power;

Rev. 20:13-14
"And the sea gave up the dead which were in it; and death and hell delivered up the dead which were in them: and they were judged every man according to their works. And death and hell were cast into the lake of fire. This is the second death."

A CALL TO LIFE

Isaiah 55:6-7
""Seek the LORD while he may be found; call on him while he is near. Let the wicked forsake his way and the evil man his thoughts. Let him turn to the LORD, and he will have mercy on him, and to our God, for he will freely pardon"

THE GREAT COMMISSION
Jesus speaks: "And he said to them, Go ye into all the world, and preach the gospel to every creature." Mark 16:15
.
“For whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved. How then shall they call on Him in whom they have not believed? and how shall they believe in Him of Whom they have not heard? and how shall they hear without a preacher?” Romans 10:13-14
.
Acts 1:8 ( a command for His church)
8 But ye shall receive power, after that the Holy Ghost is come upon you: and ye shall be witnesses unto me both in Jerusalem, and in all Judaea, and in Samaria, and unto the uttermost part of the earth.

THE STORMS OF LIFE - SPIRITUAL WARFARE BY CHARISMA MAGAZINE



Stand Strong in Christ Jesus!

Jennifer LeClaire is now sharing her reflections and revelations through Walking in the Spirit. Listen at charismapodcastnetwork.com.

When I got the news that our worship leader's son was diagnosed with cancer, it knocked the wind out of me. I was already fighting four or five other spiritual battles and this was a major blindside. I grieved in my spirit for this family. And then I got up and fought for them.
See, I've learned over the years that sudden storms will come. I liken it to someone sneaking up behind you with a baseball bat and slamming you in the back of the head. You will probably fall down. There's no shame in falling down. The question is will you stay down and lick your wounds or will you get up and fight? 
What you do in that moment defines the next season of your life.
Proverbs 24:16, "The righteous man falls down seven times and will rise again." The devil has knocked me down many times but I always get back up again. It used to take me months or weeks. Now, by the grace of God, I can rise up before the sun goes down. 
Just as Paul admonishes us not to let the sun go down on our anger (Eph. 4:26), the Lord has taught me not to let the sun go down on any toxic emotion. We don't have to wallow in self-pity, discouragement, heartache and the like for days or weeks on end. We can run to Jesus hurts, wounds fear, guilt or any other feelings rising up in our soul and find fast deliverance. We can choose to submit ourselves to God, resist the devil and he will eventually flee (James 4:7). We're called to fight the good fight of faith (1 Tim. 6:12).
Always Choose Life
This is our reality: "The thief does not come, except to steal and kill and destroy. I came that they may have life, and that they may have it more abundantly" (John 10:10). In times of trial, we have to remember to choose abundant life. We have to remember the power of death and life are in the tongue (Prov. 18:21). We have to choose whether we will believe the destroyer's lies or believe our Savior's truth.
That means knowing the Word of God. Paul admonished Timothy to, "Study to show yourself approved by God, a workman who need not be ashamed, rightly dividing the word of truth" (2 Tim. 2:15). And Revelation 12:11 tells us how to overcome: By the blood of the Lamb, the word of our testimony and selflessness.
In the sudden storms of life, we need to know the Word of God—and choose the right weapon for the right battle. Think about it for a minute: Surgeons use different blades for different procedures. Mechanics use different tools to accomplish to fix different parts of the car. Golfers use different clubs at different areas of the greens. Likewise, we need to use the right Scripture—the right sword—for the battle. 
Wage prophetic warfare with healing Scriptures if you are sick. Wield financial Scriptures if you are facing lack. Swing reconciliation Scriptures if you have a prodigal child. Get a concordance or a prayer book if you have to. But let your testimony in the midst of your trial agree with the High Priest of your confession, Jesus (Heb. 3:1).
Satan trembles at the blood of Jesus because that blood—the life in that blood—defeated Him and the power of death. The shed blood of Jesus Christ washes away our sin, slamming the door on the devil's face. Salvation came to you by way of the blood. Sozo, the Greek word for salvation, implies salvation, healing, deliverance, rescue and safety.
Enter the Battle Field


Enter the battle field with your whole armor on (Eph. 6) but always remember to seek God in the midst of the battle. Often, we're on a devil-hunting mission in the warfare but if we seek Him in the spiritual skirmishes and sudden storms, we'll hear His strategy, receive His power, and find a faster path to victory. 
This is not just a spiritual mandate, it's practical wisdom. During spiritual attacks and storms, our minds and bodies get worn down. Proverbs 24:10 warns us, "If you faint in the day of adversity, your strength is small." We must build ourselves up by spending more time with God when sudden storms try to overwhelm us. We need enduring spirits—strength in our inner man. Isaiah 40:31, "They that wait upon the Lord shall renew their strength; they shall mount up with wings as eagles, they shall run and not be weary, and they shall walk and not faint."
You have to determine in your heart ahead of time that you will not quit during the sudden storms because everything in you will drive you toward throwing in the towel. The truth is no weapon formed against you can prosper (Is. 54:7). The weapons will form and may appear to be prospering, but the enemy only has the authority in your life that you give him through fear, doubt, unbelief and surrender. 
We need to surrender to the will of God and not the will of the enemy. Pick up your weapons and fight—and surround yourself with people who will fight with you. We're not called to fight alone. 
An Encouraging Prophecy for the Weary
Winston Churchill, the prime minister of Britain during World War II when it looked like the Nazis were going to take over the world, put it this way: "If you are going through hell, keep going. Never, never, never give up."
The Holy Spirit spoke these words to my heart. I hope they help you also:
"Don't give up now. You've waited too long and persevered through too many trials, tribulations and battles to lay down your weapons in this season. Keep pressing and know that I am God. Keep moving forward and know that I am with you. Keep advancing in what I've told you to do even if it doesn't look like you are making progress and even when those who should be standing with you appear to be opposing you. Don't give up now."
