Walking as Dead

You have strayed from what is right and run after all kinds of evil.  Your body is wrapped in addictions.  Your mouth is full of cursings and wicked words.  And you think there is no longer any hope for you.

Yet there is hope.  There is no need for you to wander in this darkness any longer.  I testify that I too was encased in all these things.  I too was a fool.  I did things, said things, thought things, and chased after every manner of evil.  But it was Jesus who set me free to stand before The Father with confidence and a clean mind and heart. 

People speak of forgiveness as though it were a “pie in the sky” dream.  I tell you it is real!  When you come to Jesus there is a true transformation which takes place.  Though it’s not an over night experience, you will find evil slip away from you. If you will remain with Him, He will transform you into His desire.  No longer will you chase after evil.  You will begin to desire what is good.  He will teach you what you should do. 

There is absolutely no lie in what I’ve just said.  I testify as one who has been set free of evil.  Though I am still a man and stumble around a bit, it is His leading that will bring me into God’s presence clean and justified.  God is the Judge.  God is the One who forgives through Jesus.  It is God who will lift you up from death to life.  All men and women walk as dead in this world until they are set into The Life by Jesus.

Worship in Spirit and Truth

Many words are spoken regarding how to worship God Most High.  They prescribe all manner of means to achieve God’s blessings.  Yet He has prescribed One way to enter His will.  God has spoken Jesus.  It is He who saves.  What has this Spoken Word, Jesus, said regarding the means of salvation and service to the Most High God?   “Yet a time is coming and has now come when the true worshipers will worship the Father in the Spirit and in truth, for they are the kind of worshipers the Father seeks.   God is spirit, and his worshipers must worship in the Spirit and in truth.” (John 4:23,24)

Don’t allow yourself to be caught up in all the foolishness people profess regarding how to worship God.  Seek His Glorious face in truth.  Humble yourself before His Mighty Presence.  Seek His favor, that He might show you the way.  It is God who saves.  All man can do is point to Him.  There is salvation only in Jesus, the Christ of God!  Do not rely on man’s means.

Where’s God’s Will?

Far too many believe Jesus has died to give them a life of peace, joy, prosperity and an eternity with Him in heaven.  There’s nothing wrong with that part of the blessing we receive from Him.  But where’s the other part?  You know, the one about testifying for His Glory, the one about being willing to endure all hardships for His sake here, or perhaps the one about making yourself available for the very will of the Most High God?

Think about it.

Jelly Spine

Worry is the cotton ball which soaks up all our time.

It can cause our bones to melt away.

And reduce our frame to jelly spine.

But hope which comes from He who’s true

Is first and best and great.

He builds the man of worry new.

Our crooked spine made straight.

Who is This Jesus?

Who is this Jesus?  He was made heir of all things by the Living God.  He was given the status of Son by the Living God.  He was taught by the Father how to create all that is created.  He has loved righteousness and hated wickedness.  And so He was elevated to the status of God Most High.  He is the radiance of God’s Glory; the exact representation of God.  He is the spoken and speaking Word of God.  Who is this Jesus?

The world thinks of Jesus as a little baby.  And in that form He is conveniently small and insignificant.  Yet that is not the Jesus of God’s understanding.  He is a prophet to some, yet that is not the Jesus of God’s understanding.  He has been with the Father from the beginning and will remain with Him forever.  He is the redeemer of men; causing them to become holy as the Father is Holy.  Yet the world sees Him as a nuisance. 

We will see Him as the One who endured GREAT pain for the sake of His Father’s will.  When we see Him, He will be dressed in absolute Glory.  For now many see Jesus as an irritation.  On the Day of God’s Wrath, we will see Him as He is.  No longer will men doubt.  No longer will they rail against righteousness.  No longer will they kill, maim, chide, and relegate God’s people to obscurity. 

The wicked will perish like a ball of cotton in an intense flame.  They will scream with terror at the prospect of their fate.  And they will hate Jesus with an eternal hatred.  I do not wish anyone to endure what is coming for the wicked.  Please consider what He is.  Consider with a great trembling.  You are about to meet your maker.  His name is Jesus.

Amazing Love.

It is impossible for the words of man to do justice to the Love of God.  Holy Father, have mercy on our lack.
