03-15-11 The Ideal Fruit Part 01

2011-03-15T19:55:00Z

"Or what man is there among you, from whom his son will be requesting bread‐no stone will he be handing him!"

The bread is Christ Jesus and His finished works, and the stone it the law

"Or he will be requesting a fish also‐no serpent will he be handing him!"

The fish (symbol of active life) is again the Christ Jesus and the serpent is the knowledge of Good and evil.

Matthew 7:7-23

"Request and it shall be given you. Seek and you shall find. Knock and it shall be opened to you. 8 For everyone who is requesting is obtaining, and who is seeking is finding, and to him who is knocking it shall be opened. 9 "Or what man is there among you, from whom his son will be requesting bread‐no stone will he be handing him! 10 Or he will be requesting a fish also‐no serpent will he be handing him! 11 "If you, then, being wicked, have perceived how to be giving good gifts to your children, how much rather shall your Father Who is in the heavens be giving good things to those requesting Him? 12 All, then, whatever you should be wanting that men should be doing to you, thus you, also, be doing to them, for this is the law and the prophets. 13 "Enter through the cramped gate, for broad is the gate and spacious is the way which is leading away into destruction, and many are those entering through it. 14 Yet what a cramped gate and narrowed way is the one leading away into life, and few are those who are finding it. 15 "Take heed of those false prophets who are coming to you in the apparel of sheep, yet inside they are rapacious wolves. 16 "From their fruits you shall be recognizing them. Not from thorns are they culling grapes, nor from star thistles figs. 17 Thus every good tree ideal fruit is producing, yet the rotten tree noxious fruit is producing. 18 A good tree can not bear noxious fruit, neither is a rotten tree producing ideal fruit. 19 Every tree not producing ideal fruit is hewn down and cast into the fire. 20 Consequently, from their fruits you shall surely be recognizing them. 21 "Not everyone saying to Me 'Lord! Lord!' will be entering into the kingdom of the heavens, but he who is doing the will of My Father Who is in the heavens. 22 Many will be declaring to Me in that day, 'Lord! Lord! Was it not in Your name that we prophesy, and in Your name cast out demons, and in Your name do many powerful deeds?' 23 And then shall I be avowing to them that 'I never knew you! Depart from Me, workers oflawlessness!'

Forgiven??? Why, when we have been Justified?

2011-03-12T17:54:00Z

Why would anyone ever want to be forgiven, which means to be found guilty of the crime and then pardoned. When they could have instead justification, which means you are declared not guilty, no crime committed. When the meaning of biblical words are confused, or they are considered equal with each other, the glorious gospel truths are made a mystery to the masses.

This crime is further perpetrated in the words belief and faith. Belief is not faith, and faith is not belief. Faith is the gift of God. It is seeing Christ Jesus and the finished works, and you and him finished and made whole. Faith is the byproduct of the word of God, and the byproduct of faith is belief.

When one understands the original intention that was spoken by Elohim in the very beginning (The Logos), they have been given faith. When faith comes into one's soul, the conception of belief is made. Belief is the response to faith. Belief and faith are not the same thing.

Let's look at another Christian word receive and the false concepts that surround it. Many believe that when they receive faith and salvation it is about work out of their own-selves. In other words, THEY out of their own choice receive. This is not only prideful, but it is a very devious error.

Let me give you an example. I can receive something without choice. Let's take the organs of my body, did I choose to receive my heart and lungs? No, I received them without a choice. Some would have us believe that we need to receive Jesus by our choice in order for salvation to be effective. This is not true. Salvation is effective because we receive Jesus Christ as a gift of God, just like our organs are a gift of God.

As long as these errors are prevalent within the body, many will falsely believe that they have to obtain their own salvation. When salvation was obtained by Jesus Christ's faith in the righteousness of his father. It is in this faith that we are contained, and have our salvation. It is in Jesus Christ's that we give glory to God, and make no effect the self-righteousness of the Christian religion's idea of self salvation for Jesus Christ is the author - which means originator, and the finisher - which means the one who completed, our faith.

The Scripture:

"Yet now, apart from law, a righteousness of God is manifest (being attested by the law and the prophets), yet a righteousness of God through Jesus Christ's faith, for all, and on all who are believing, for there is no distinction, for all sinned and are wanting of the glory of God. 24 Being justified gratuitously in His grace, through the deliverance which is in Christ Jesus" Roman 3:21-23

"Now to the worker, the wage is not reckoned as a favor, but as a debt. Yet to him who is not working, yet is believing on Him Who is justifying the irreverent, his faith is reckoned for righteousness." Romans 4:5

For if Abraham was justified by his acts, he has something to boast in, but not toward God. For what is the Scripture saying? `Now Abraham believes God and it is reckoned to him for righteousness'" (Rom.4:2,3).

"Now the Scriptures perceiving before that God is justifying the nations by faith, preached an evangel to Abraham before, that `In you shall all the nations be blessed.' So that those of faith are being blessed together with believing Abraham" (Gal.3:8,9).

"Being justified gratuitously by His grace, through the deliverance which is in Christ Jesus (Whom God purposed for a Propitiatory, through faith in His blood, for a display of His righteousness because of the passing over of the penalty of sins which occurred before in the forbearance of God) toward the display of His righteousness in the Current era, for Him to be just and the Justifier of the one who is of the faith of Jesus" (Rom.3:24-26).

"Being, then, justified by faith, we may be having peace with God through our Lord, Jesus Christ, through Whom we have had the access, also, in faith, into this grace in which we stand, and may be glorying in expectation of the glory of God" (Rom.5:1,2).

Therefore it is of faith that it may accord with grace, for the promise to be confirmed to the entire seed, not to those of the law only, but to those also of the faith of Abraham, who is father of us all, 17 according as it is written that, A father of many nations have I appointed you ‐‐ facing which, he believes it of the God Who is vivifying the dead and calling what is not as if it were ‐‐ Romans 4:16-17

"One knowing no sin, He makes sin for our sakes that we should be becoming God's righteousness in Him" (2 Cor.5:21)

"Now the just by faith shall live" (Rom.1:17)

You are blessed by favor for favor

2010-10-11T18:40:00Z

Stop and meditate on this for a few minutes.

John 1:15-16

John (name means grace) is testifying concerning Him and has cried, saying, "This was He of Whom I said, 'He Who is coming after me, has come to be in front of me,' for He was first, before me," for of that which fills Him we all obtained, and grace (unmerited favor) for grace(unmerited favor)

You are blessed by favor forfavor! This is the purpose of Christ, not your works focused but His Worksfocused. God made us creations that manifest effortlessly whatever we give ourundivided attention to. Give your attention to Jesus and His works and watchHis Lifestyle spring forth from you abundantly without conscious effort.Stand still and see the salvation of God.

The Channel of Condemnation that holds back true authority and power

2010-05-07T16:49:00Z

What blocks the power of declaration, prayer, and confession? It is condemnation, and its duel perceptions in the heart of man, rather than the singular judgment of God our Abba (soure of life, our tree of life).

The word DOUBT (GK dia-krino) in the above scripture (Mark 11:22-24) means; the channel of judgment or condemnation, to form judgment between to symmetrical pieces or a channel. This is where we get the word decision (to divide the two and chose one) the two pieces are Good and Evil, as evidenced in the fall of the first Adam. And this (sin) always causes decay and death.

Being free of condemnation comes with great reward. There is therefore now NO CONDEMNATION for those whom are in Christ Jesus. Not judgment of good and evil. Beloved enter into the power of speaking with overcoming authority. Speak with a single eye that your whole body will be full of light.

(Mathew 6:22 , Luke 11:32-36)
"The lamp of the body is your eye. If, then, your eye should be single, your whole body will be luminous. Yet if your eye should be wicked, your whole body will be dark. If, then, the light that is in you is darkness, how dense is the darkness!

Notice the context here in Luke 11:32-36 is Judgment.
Men, Ninevites, will be rising in the judging with this generation and they will be condemning it, for they repent at the heralding of Jonah, and lo! more than Jonah is here! "Now no one, lighting a lamp, is placing it in hiding, nor yet under a peck measure but on a lampstand, that those going in may be observing the light. The lamp of the body is your eye. Whenever, then, you eye may be single, your whole body, also, is luminous, yet if ever it may be wicked, your body, also is dark. Be noting, then, that the light in you is not darkness. If, then, your whole body is luminous, not having any part dark, luminous will be the whole, as whenever a lamp, in its flashing, may be illuminating you."

Light here means understanding; in all your getting get understanding, it is even above wisdom.

The Logos of God is: THE ORGINAL INTENTION/CREATION OF GOD THAT WAS SPOKEN IN THE BEGINNING. This is the Logos (Word) that became flesh, the will of God wrapped in a flesh suit.

The Singular judgment (The Logos) God has of you in Christ Jesus, is what must motivate all our judgments. For we were not given to judge nothing, but what God has already judged in the Logos (Word) of God. This is the release of real power and authority.

Obligation Blocks Blessing

2010-05-04T19:23:00Z

Obligation Blocks Blessing

Obligation is not Grace, it is Self Righteousness.

Anything that causes obligation is not graceful. This is why many fail at tithing/giving, praying and fasting. Believe it or not the feeling of obligation is a type of condemnation. God is the only being that is meant to experience obligation due to his nature. Only he has the independent resources to experience obligation. When his children do things out of obligation they begin to decay and enter into a death race. Obligation is a killer, a very sneaky one.

It is the Lord's strength that produces life, and He gives it to us freely to enjoy. Our designed response is not obligation but thanksgiving. The fall of man produces this idea that we must do something for God to appease or please him. Men run around trying to produce their own faith not realizing that a revelation that comes out from God will complete all the designed works of man. God created man to be fueled by His works/WORD and design, not by self generated effort. Grace is the power of all life, and it causes true service, but not by your strength but his.

These are the works of God:

Precepts produce Concepts
Concepts produce Philosophy
Philosophy produces Faith
Faith produces Belief
Belief produces Behavior

A little known understanding that will inspire great fellowship with God is:

Belief is a work of faith, and faith is a gift of God, and these are not self-generated.

EPH 1:3-12
Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, Who blesses us with every spiritual blessing among the celestials, in Christ, according as He chooses us in Him before the disruption of the world, we to be holy and flawless in His sight, in love designating us beforehand for the place of a son for Him through Christ Jesus; in accord with the delight of His will, for the laud of the glory of His grace, which graces us in the Beloved: in Whom we are having the deliverance through His blood, the forgiveness of offenses in accord with the riches of His grace, which He lavishes on us; in all wisdom and prudence making known to us the secret of His will (in accord with His delight, which He purposed in Him) to have an administration of the complement of the eras, to head up all in the Christ ‐‐ both that in the heavens and that on the earth ‐‐ in Him in Whom our lot was cast also, being designated beforehand according to the purpose of the One Who is operating all in accord with the counsel of His will, that we should be for the laud of His glory, who are pre‐expectant in the Christ.

EPH 2:4-10
yet God, being rich in mercy, because of His vast love with which He loves us (we also being dead to the offenses and the lusts), vivifies us together in Christ (in grace are you saved!)and rouses us together and seats us together among the celestials, in Christ Jesus, that, in the oncoming eons, He should be displaying the transcendent riches of His grace in His kindness to us in Christ Jesus. For in grace, through faith, are you saved, and this is not out of you; it is God's approach present, not of works, lest anyone should be boasting. For His achievement are we, being created in Christ Jesus for good works, which God makes ready beforehand, that we should be walking in them.

The Anatomy of Conviction

2010-04-30T17:19:00Z

The Anatomy of Conviction

In the body of Christ today we have much confusions. One of these confusions is the idea of conviction by the Spirit of God. I have heard many people say that the are convicted of God, and that God is revealing their sin. I myself once believed this to be true, but since that time the Holy Spirit has revealed to me the truth behind this confusion.

The confusion comes when we assume that the Holy Spirit is manifest to condemn you about your sins. In fact the opposite is true the Holy Spirit comes to reveal your righteousness in Christ. It is because of the condition of the heart of man, that man takes this revealing of righteousness as condemnation.

The Bible tells us that the heart of man is desperately wicked. The word wicked means twisted. The heart of man is full of half-truths. This condition of man's heart's comes from the fall of man where mankind lost its ability to receive the absolute judgment of God. Man now receives because of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil, relative judgment. Man decides things between what is good and what is evil. This judgment method is far inferior to the truth judgment of God. The truth Judgment of God is His Word. The Word is the LOGOS; the original intention of God that was spoken in the very beginning.

The truth judgment of God is completely whole; it is not judge between two things. The nature of God is that his judgment is the reality.

Let's see if I can illustrate this for you. If you were sitting in the room with me right now and I ask you are you hot or cold. You would give me a judgment about the room’s temperature. You may say anything from, “I'm very hot”, “I'm very cold”, “I'm warm”,” I'm burning up”. I on the other hand may judge the room entirely different. These forms of judgment are called relative judgment, this is judgment based on the experience of the one who is judging. This judgment example is called relative judgment .God does not judge things this way. Because of who God is, what He says is the reality and surety. Whatever God says is the standard and the design. All other judgment is relative to the one who experiences it.

So with this in mind let us get back to conviction. Man is trapped by relative judgment, he wants to judge things based on what is good and what is evil. He wants to judge between two equal and opposing forces. The problem is that no matter how hard he tries his independent judgment of things will not be 100% accurate. Thus starts the process of decay.

In Mark 11 we find Jesus telling us that if we say unto this mountain, be cast into the sea, and shall not DOUBT in our heart, we shall have what we say. That is an amazing statement considering that Jesus cannot lie. Jesus further states in other places that nothing is impossible to him who believes.

Now in Mark 11:22-24 the word doubt is the Greek word (dia-krino) it means the channel of judgment or condemnation, to form judgment between to symmetrical pieces or a channel. This is also the root word where we get the English word decision (to divide the two and chose one) the two pieces are Good and Evil. Jesus said that if we did not form a judgment between two opposing forces that we could cast a mountain into the sea.

There is a misconception in the body of Christ about how Jesus judged. Many believe that he had the same mind as us.(ignoring the mind of Christ) And that he judged things by the knowledge of good and evil. But let's remember he was born without sin. The sin that he was born without was the sin of Adam. The sin of Adam was eating from the tree of the knowledge of good and evil to get the way of life. When man ate from this tree he was transformed from the pure judgment of God to his relative judgment between two opposing forces. When man partakes of this fruit and eats it he begins to get his life from it. This is how man enters into the realm of sin.

To sin means to miss a pre-described Mark or target. God had targeted man with his(God’s) very own judgment. And now man has went away from this judgment unto his own. This is the very reason for man's death and decay. Man has no ability on his own to judge truth. Man must only receive the Intention of God and make them his judgment, and reject this false tree.

Jesus said when praying to his father, “Father Thy Word is truth”. When Jesus was saying is that what the Father decrees is the reality. Jesus opens a window to us when he says: I can do nothing of myself, unless I first see my Father doing. Jesus was revealing to us that he did not have his own independent judgment, but that he received all truth from his father. Jesus walked the earth not relying upon his experiences but upon what his Father had judged. In fact there is evidence that he spent more time with his father in prayer than with other men.

Now you might say, “What does this have to do with conviction?” It has everything to do with conviction. When the Holy Spirit comes he convicts you of your righteousness in Jesus Christ. You on the other hand know all the wrong that you have done, and are condemned in your heart. So you respond based on what's in your heart not based on what the Holy Spirit is revealed. He tells you that you are righteous in Christ and you say you're sinner. Now the real problem with this is, a person begins to think that God is condemning them, when in fact they are condemning themselves by using relative judgment.

God placed all sin past, present, and future, on the body of Jesus Christ, and he destroyed that body. And put to death all the sin of mankind. The vast majority of mankind does not understand this fact. They truly do not believe in the power of the death, burial, and resurrection of Jesus Christ. In Ephesians we are told that God is not holding our trespasses and our sins against us yet we still believe that he convicts us of our sin. This has been one of the greatest lies of the enemy; the Holy Spirit’s job is to convict you of Jesus Christ’s righteousness, and of God's acceptance of his payment for sin. Mankind's first response to this work of the Holy Spirit, is to judge it based on his own experience. Thus from the beginning man begins to hear the voice of condemnation over the voice of victory in the Holy Spirit.(this could be the very root of the lie from the very beginning) Man then begins the war of condemnation and righteousness. This war rages on until the light shines in darkness, and overcomes the condemnation.

There is therefore now no condemnation to them that are in Christ Jesus. We now are to walk according to the spirit voice calling us righteous in spite of the contradiction of our daily lives. We are to trust in Jesus Christ's works and his alone. The Bible reveals to us that as a man thinks in his heart so is he and his life. If we are constantly receiving condemnation that our hearts never truly change, but if today we will look to the work of Jesus Christ as a finished work we can begin the journey into the fullness of God's love.

The Temporal Marriage at the Tree vs. The Married one on it

2010-04-20T23:16:00Z

Seeing with the eyes is what got us in eating the wrong fruit. There are things you can discern naturally, but not all natural things are what they appear. The natural must be in submission to the Spirit. Male before Female, not female before male, that is what Got us into this mess. A balanced man is hard to find, but I saw one when he met me at the cross (or tree if you like) He was the last Adam, way different from the first, but none the less Adam. He made THEM male and female, one being Adam, all mankind. MAN!!

The one I met didn't need a wife to complete Him he was already married.

Exploring Temporal Marriage and the "Living Soul"

2010-04-18T19:12:00Z

Exploring Temporal Marriage and the "Living Soul"

Living Soul... "Became".... How? ..... They lived out of their soul (Chooser) it was about choice. Most stand up and clap at this but not for the right reason.

Here is where the free will argument began. This is where we to live by our Choice or by the prefect Word of God, by our judgment or by the prefect understanding of God. The truth is that: living in the Soul is darkness! And God wanted this until resurrection of the Word in the Body of Jesus Christ.

Flesh and blood cannot reveal THE TRUTH. The soul is of flesh and blood.

Man became a living soul. The female part of man now ruled over the spirit, well at least it thinks so. The truth is; there was Death, Burial and Resurrection of mankind. Resurrection would solve this problem.

This is why marriage as we know it stops in the celestials. Because Soul (Female) and Spirit (Male) will be "one" again the right way, the way they were before the disruption. This is the true marriage.

They will be male and female, Mankind in its true state. Not Female and then Male the state we find now.

This is called the Mystery of Marriage. This is the real reason for flesh and blood marriage (the two, "one flesh," not Spirit).

Soon they will be one Spirit, in resurrection.

RE -----Surrection ----- to do again, what was once, and now isn't (but is in Christ), but soon will be in all.

Marriage, the temporal type and shadow of the True Mankind

2010-04-17T01:20:00Z

Marriage, the temporal type and shadow of the True Mankind

Marriage is a type and shadow of the true of mankind. And because it is temporal it is flawed but the image it testifies of is not flawed though. The real purpose is to reveal God's intention in mankind the whole mankind found in Christ. The real state of man; is Male and Female, one whole.

There is a good reason we don’t find it in the celestial hope we have in Christ. It is found though in the coming 1000 year reign of the King and His Kingdom. But not mentioned in the new heaven and earth.

The new heaven and the new earth has reference to more than just a place in the future. It speaks also of "the kind" that man is in designed as in the ORGINAL INTENTION. There is allot more to this but I won’t burden you with all my $0.02 any more than I have!

The let's explore the Fall of Man from COOKIE MONSTER'S perspective

2010-04-16T19:03:00Z

The view from COOKIE MONSTER'S perspective.

If I say don’t eat from the tree to my child, And tell him he will surely die (get in trouble with me clearly from the import of my stern warning) where is the attention of this child now directed? To me or the tree?

The child has not knowledge of what is good for him, or what is broken to him.

Ok Johnny the cookie jar is full of cookies, don’t you dare go eat those cookies. Those cookies are bad for you. I'm trusting you!

Now, when I leave the room, don’t eat the cookies.

Tell me the moment I leave the room, what does the child's attention focus on? "THE COOKIES"

Who really made the child eat the cookies? The child and its rebellion, or the parent in his repeated "THE COOKIES"

I might add here God made part of mankind appreciate the outward appearance of thing. The soul part, the female part is the mechanism that does this.

The Cookies are so moist and the chocolate is just oozing out the side. All warm, and golden brown, if I eat these cookies man I'm really going to feel great.

Don’t you think God knew the way his children where wired. He made them to become transformed by whatever they gave their attention too. He also made them without the knowledge of good and evil, not knowing what was good and not knowing what is evil (broken).

If death meant a mind change of broken fellowship with God
(not being able to receive his perfect truth, without his direct intervention), and made God the only one whom could rescue the child " from the cookies" then this makes all of God's children aware of their reliance on God and his view and judgment, not their own view and judgment.

I know I’m missing a key point but I hope you can follow what I’m saying.

The "soul"(female) was with the man (spirit), the soul part that gained information by the senses, it allowed the appreciation of what God, had judged. It was subject to the man (spirit) but when it becomes fascinated with the tree (COOKIE) it in its weakness drives the man (spirit) to eat. ADAM (both the male and female) eat the cookie.

Mans judgments became superior to the judgment of God. (well only in his mind) Truth now was gained from a relative perspective, making it not truth but sin. They aimed, ate what they appreciated by the sense, and missed God's truth.

How did this all happen? It happened by the mechanism God created. He knew what He was doing. That is why he decided he would die before he created man.

And that is how THE COOKIE CRUMBLES.

Not duel Judgement

2010-04-15T20:59:00Z

The knowledge of good and evil requires duel judgment, God's WILL is not duel judgment it is singular and perfect. His Judgment is not a choice between what is good and evil. Knowing good and evil as a judgment is the sin. Taking that knowledge over God's will is the sin.

There is only one reality and that is God's decree. And it is not a choice between two things. Is one WHOLE thing, singular in quality.

Adam and Eve were given a choice. - Selah (Let's explore this choice)

2010-04-15T18:26:00Z

Adam and Eve were given a choice, without any knowledge of what was good for them or evil for them. hmmm. That is what happened. Not really a choice in my book for alot of reasons, but I understand how others see it as one.

The following is how I currently understand--- this may be a bridge that God is using to reveal somthing else. I trust his processing.

Mankind eats from the tree. Now he has a knowledge of sin.

Then mankind becomes his own "god" knowing good and evil. Making his own judgment.

No longer does mankind (Adam and Eve) use YHVH's Judgment as their own. They use their own as God's.

-Selah

The knowledge of Good and evil made them condemned. They hide from their source of Life -- every Word that proceeds from the mouth of God.

Why?

They hide because their judgment has become in their mind superior to God's. They believe what their soul knows better by good and evil over the Word whom is Truth. Their relative judgment has now become how they live, and that life is not life at all, it is death and decay.

They find themselves unable return to truth because of this overriding knowledge of Good and evil. Only the One with Truth judgment can rescue them from their sin, but this does stop them from believing that they can rescue themselves by choosing the good over the evil (root choices). The problem is though that there is NONE good but God. And only he can judge (choose) them out of their trouble.

[Good thing he saw all of this coming, and planned for it before he made them] He is perfect remember!

He has to do all the work, and He does through Christ, only He did not get rid of their souls that still try to choose this good and evil. He gives them hope in the day when the knowledge of good and evil will be destroyed, in their soul.

This happens in resurrection, and is guaranteed in Christ resurrection because He is the new mankind. And we find our truth (reality) in Him.

Saul of Tarsus, God's Enemy Made Slave of His Faith and Love by Grace

2010-03-22T18:49:00Z

The call of Saul of Tarsus is the most awe-inspiring of all the manifestations of God's grace. It is a blueprint for us who believe in this day of grace. He was the principal sinner, yet God made him foremost of his apostles. It was the grace of Jesus Christ that inundated him with faith and love. In the same grace is to be had today to the whole world. Once you receive this grace, and this peace that you have with God.

The 12 apostles were called by the Lord on Earth, before Jesus Christ's ascension. Saul was called by the ascended in a glorified Lord from heaven. The 12 were called in the land of Israel, but Saul was called outside the land. This is not a mistake this is the work of our Lord, and is the development of the distinction of the gospel of grace to the nation from the message of the 12.

Paul service was outside the land among the Hellenists and the uncircumcised. The original 12 were concerned with the earthly life of our Lord previous to His ascension. Paul was meant to herald revelation from our Lord in glory. Paul is now released to this higher calling, because by the middle of the book of acts God's chosen people Israel, had heard the memorandum of the kingdom and cast off their kingdom and their King.

God's Creative Original

2010-03-18T22:54:00Z

Jesus is the Word of God (The Creative Original, The Intention of God that was spoken a beginning), in Him we live we move and have our being.

We are all out of God, through Jesus Christ. Mankind finds its beginning in The Creative Original, and He finds His Origin in the Father.

The Father subjects all even the Son God whom is the Son of Mankind. The Father is THE PRIMARY of all! The Word came out of Him, and we are the fruit of the Word.

The Word of God that is spoken from "Beginning" is "the Beginning" of the creation of God.

God the Father (abba, source) is spirit, invisible, intangible, and indiscernible to His creation. (John 24:24 and I Timothy 1:7) As such he cannot be apprehended by his creature. This is why the Word of God, is the Image of God. The Image of God gives us something to apprehend, and identify with as God’s creature. The truth of God's design is evident in His creation; we see pieces of it everywhere. We see His power in the elements. We see his sovereignty in the Kings and Queens of the monarchies. We see his strength and the oak tree and the Willow. All of these things give us only fragments; it is in the Image of God that we find His truth. Jesus said, father thy word is truth,” His meaning was that the Word is our reality. It is only from the Image of God whom is the Word, which we can form the precepts of life, and these precepts leading to our success and peace.

God's original creation is the Image of God, and we are all made in this Image. We must receive as the precept, that it is God out of Whom all is. This precept generates an understanding that in His Word we find our source; with the understanding and that God is the primary in our life the proper lines and motivation for action.

There is One Image that is perfect. The Son of God; whom is the visible demonstration of God. He is the only one who answers every quality which His Father (source) demands.

“He who has seen me has seen the Father (John 14:8-9)

“Christ, the Son of God, being the Image of the Invisible God.” (2 Corinthians 4:4)

“He is, therefore, the effulgence of His Father's glory and the emblem of his assumption.” (Hebrews 1:3)

The Father is our Creator, Savior, Judge and Reconciler. As the Father is these things so is the Son who comes out of the Father. We find that the whole universe was fashioned in him, through him, and for him (Colossians 1:6) as the Son of the Father he is the Firstborn of every creature. (Colossians 1:16) he is God's first error to the estate which is His Father's.

And he is before all and the universe has its cohesion in him (Col 1:17)

I came forth and am arriving out of God (John 8:42)

The Father is loving the Son and has given all into his hand (John 3:35)

For He subjects all under his feet (1 Corinthians 15:27)

God, and the last of these days, speaks to us in a son, whom He appoints enjoyer of the allotment of the universe, through whom, also, He makes the eons; who, being the Effulgence of His glory and Emblem of His assumption, as well as carrying on the universe by His powerful declaration. (Hebrews 1:2-3)

In the Revelation/Unveiling the Word of God whom is the Image of God' speaks of himself as the Alpha and the Omega, the First that and the Last, the Origin and the Consummation.

There is one God, the father, out of whom all is (1 Corinthians 8:6)

All is out of him, and through, him and for him. Romans 11:36

The Image of the invisible God, the firstborn of every creature, seeing that the universe in the heavens and on earth was created in Him -- the visible and the invisible, whether thrones or dominions or sovereignties or authorities the universe has been created through Him and for Him, and He is before all, and the universe has its cohesion in Him Colossians 1:15-20

Whenever He may give up the Kingdom to God, even the Father, whenever he should be abrogating His sovereignty and all authority and power …. The last enemy which is abolished is death ….. Now whatever the universe may be subject to him, then the son himself also shall be subject to Him (The Father) who subjects the entire universe to Him, that God may be all in all. (1 Corinthians15:20-28)

As we can see through the plethora of Scriptures, the Word of God, although He is God, comes out of God as “His Original Creation.” It is when we thoroughly grasped this precept that we began to understand that God is in control of all and is in all. We begin to see all is working together for good, to us who are called according to His purpose (the original intention of God that was spoken in the very beginning). You are not alone, you are not responsible alone, and God is in you through Jesus Christ, both to will and to do His good pleasure. God is not expecting you to save yourself, which was never in His plan. His plan was for you to be saved by His hand and His work alone through Christ Jesus. The truth is that Jesus is the Son of Mankind, and He is also the Son of God, and through Him since He is out of God we have Life and that Life more abundantly.

Let us take our rest in Him; for it is to those whom are at rest in HIM, whom inherit the Promised Land, which in truth is the outworking of God’s intention.

Pardon vs Justification

2010-03-18T18:33:00Z

Pardon is in sharp contrast to justification, or acquittal, which comes through the Judge of all, on the grounds of grace and faith, and from which there can be no fall, as it places us beyond the sphere of down judgment.

Pardon is represented in Scripture by repentance and baptism would lead to a probationary pardon, which may be withdrawn. Jesus Christ proclaimed this pardon as King; we find its operation is illustrated by the parable of the 10,000 talents debtor. (Matthew 18:27-34)

the debtors debt was remitted, but he refused to remit the smaller Psalm which his fellow slave. The remission of his debt was then canceled. So it is with Israel during this present era. Many Israelis received the pardon of their sins, but they refused to share their pardon with other nations, they outright objected to the converts like Cornelius. They did not even allow anyone from the nations to enter the sanctuary. When someone from the nations would try to enter the sanctuary they would seek to kill them. Those, whom refused to pardon the converts sins, cause their own sins not to be pardoned. There was no longer room for repentance, but fearful expectation of down judgment.

This is why pardon is different from justification or what we know as acquittal. In justification the proclamation comes from the judge himself on the grounds of grace and faith. It places the believer beyond the sphere of judgment. This acquittal is conciliation, and it is immeasurably beyond any pardon, as it places us in God's grace. When the believer receives this conciliation they are reconciled to God. This reconciliation is irreverent of their acts, and is based on the faith of Jesus Christ that they have received of him. Those whom receive justification are judged as qualified irreverent of their sins. This is in sharp contrast to how God is dealing with Israel while Jesus Christ was on the Earth, and during the Pentecostal period of God's mercy to Israel.

Israel refused Jesus Christ as the son of David, and heir to his throne. They refused him as their King, and they did not accept his resurrection. Throughout acts we find that Israel refuses the Kingdom and their King over and over again. This is why the book of Acts starts out with the proclamation to Israel in mercy after the rejection of Christ, and ends in Israel being set aside, and Paul being raised up to preach grace to the nations. God moves from the sphere of earthly blessings, with an earthly kingdom, and Israel's King sitting on the throne of David, to heavenly blessings that produce earthly blessings for the nations.

Israel, those chosen after the disruption of the world, and those chosen before the disruption of the world are now in sharp contrast. The nations will now have the opportunity of salvation. Although Israel is the bride of Jesus Christ, and they are expecting to be born again into the kingdom, we are the body, a new creation in Christ Jesus.

God uses the company of those chosen before the foundation/disruption of the world to provoke Israel and to jealousy. As the predestined company through grace the nations inherit salvation. As this grace company we should not become high-minded, knowing that in the time to come Israel will again rule the nations. The only comfort we have is to know that those chosen before the foundation of the world will be resurrected before Israel is to rule during the Kingdom of God on Earth. Not all the people of the nations were chosen before the foundation of the world, only first-fruits.

During the time of the Kingdom, when Jesus Christ will sit on the throne of Israel, here on Earth, there will still be unbelievers of the nations. The Old Testament tells us that during this time Israel will rule the earth with an iron Rod. The nations will be judged by the law of righteousness, and they will serve Israel and its King, Jesus Christ.

As the un-circumcision we should not become prideful. Not to say that we shouldn't rejoice and give thanks, but we should not boast over Israel. For God will be true and faithful to his bride. And we have been granted an opportunity, and this opportunity only comes by grace and not merit. So if we are to boast let us boast in the works of Jesus Christ, not placing these works over Israel in some unfair way. But thanking God, who justifies us irreverent of our sins by the work of Jesus Christ and his faith. For if we are to glory let us glory in Christ work, and let us see our true place in God's will. For it is God in us, both to will and to do, of his good pleasure. And to him shall we give the praise, Amen.

The Word (Logos) at work in our lives

2010-03-17T17:46:00Z

God's Word is not the scripture, He is the “logos,” He is the person of Jesus Christ. It is this Word that is at work in our lives, and in the universe. It is this Word that brings us our strong faith today and establishes our way in life.

“The Word of God” is “the original intention that was spoken from the very beginning.” The Word of God came out of the father; The Word of God was spoken. God assumes various characters during the administration of the eons. He is the creator, savior, adjudicator, and reconciler. And every one of these assumptions He is represented by his son, who, is his symbol, his emblem, and is also the creator, savior, adjudicator, and reconciler. The whole universe was created in Him, through him, and for Him. The Word of God is the first born of every creature. He is not before the first born, but He is the first born Himself. He is creations firstborn. (Colossians 1:16)

Paul tells us: that the universe, in the heavens, and the Earth were fashioned in Him, through Him, and for Him, and He is before all, and the universe has its consistency in Him.

In the beginning before there were the heavens and earth, and before they knew rule or ownership, the son of God, in his solidarity, held undisputed sway and complete possession of the creation from the center to the boundary. And when the heavens were spilling over with the hosts, each prince received his influence and boundary directly from The Word of God. And when men came on the scene and dominion over the creatures of the Earth was given to man, he also, derived it from the son of God whom is the Word. This Word of God is our present dominion. All dominion comes from God's creative original indwelling the vessel of man. Man does not have independent dominion but has dependent dominion by the presence of the Word within him.

In the “beginning,” it was in Him. Down through the eons, it is through Him. These are the honors in that first and perfect creation, unsullied from the mouth of God. He is supreme.

I came forth and I am coming out of God. (John 8:42)

The Father loves the son and has given “all” into his hand. (John 3:35) For He subjects all under his feet. (1 Corinthians 15:27)

God in the last of these days, speaks to us in a son, whom he appointed in joy or of the allotment of the universe, through whom also, he makes the eons; who, being the outflow of his glory and the emblem of his assumption, as well as carrying on the universe by his powerful declaration Hebrews 1:2,3

I am the A and the Z, the first and the last, the origin and the consummation (Revelation 21:6, 22:13)

God the father, begins with Him, for He is God's creative original, and he, The Word of God, is the son absolute, for he is the firstborn of every living thing, he brings all of God's counsels for the universe into accomplishment and delivers it back to God, even the father, that he (God the father) may be all in all.

Now whenever he may subject the universe to Him, then the son Himself, also, shall be subject to Him who subjects the universe to Him, that God may be all in all (1 Corinthians 15:28.)

So this is the word in which we live and move and we have our being. Without Him we are sure to have human failure (darkness) that is designed to lead us back to dependence upon Him. He gives us the faith to believe that he is the rewarder of those who diligently seek Him. Not only is he the rewarder but he Himself is the reward. The Word of God is our reward, he is all, for all, and in all. Let this Word be a blessing to you today. Amen

The Intention Problem of Sickness and Disease

2010-03-15T19:58:00Z

Sickness and disease are caused by man not knowing Gods intention in the creation of mankind. The "not knowing" is to miss (sin) God's target which is his intention. God’s intention is found in his "original creation". The original creation is known as the Logos of God. The Logo is defined as: the original intention of God that was spoken at the beginning.
Not knowing God's intention causes us to lean on our own understanding and the facts of our experience. When we lean on our own understanding this is called judgment. It is man's judgment independent of God's judgment. God's judgment is the original intention that he had in the beginning. When we line up with God's original intention (his judgment) then we live the lifestyle that God designed us to live.

Jesus Christ is the perfect example of a man who lives by God's intention (will). We have no account of Jesus ever becoming sick except on the cross where he took the sickness of mankind. It is through the faith of Jesus Christ, that we inherit faith through him. His faith in us produces a belief in the truth that he took away all sin (missing God's intention through personal, independent judgment).
We find nowhere in God's original intention of God creating a man who was sick or who lives in disease. Instead we find a man who is designed to take dominion through the knowledge of God. This is why we rest in the work of Jesus Christ who is God's design as mankind. It is in our revelation of him that we find freedom from sickness and disease.
Jesus Christ is God's intention, he is God's original, and he is the first and the last. When we see him on the cross we see all the judgment of sin on him. God's wrath is poured out upon him because he is mankind. As mankind he becomes sin, as mankind he pays the full price of this sin. God destroyed sin in the body of Jesus Christ. What God’s destroyed no man should resurrect through his independent judgment. Sin (sickness and disease) are left in the unseen. When God resurrected Jesus Christ, he did not resurrect the sin; it was destroyed in the grave. As Christ is now so are we in this world. We are without sickness and disease when we see the truth in him.

Grace works best without consciousness of your works but His

2010-03-15T17:52:00Z

The work of grace in the believer causes abundance to break forth, most times without a consciousness of works. What I mean is people just walk by blessing, and live without a consciousness of works. The meditation of Jesus's works causes the believer to manifest good works seemingly effortlessly. This is because our faith produces our belief, and our belief produces our behavior.

What we all must understand is that the super abundance of grace and the gift of righteousness cause us to walk in the lifestyle of God.

Your concepts producer precepts in your precepts produce your philosophies, your philosophies produce your faith and your faith produces your belief, your belief produces your behavior. With each step God being the motivator causes momentum to be built. This momentum carries us on to the works of righteousness. These are not so much our works they are the byproduct of the momentum built in God's process. God is the worker, he works of his good pleasure in us and we reap the reward of his labor. Hallelujah! Praise God!

My Current Favorite Scripture

2010-03-14T20:04:00Z

Yet now, apart from law, a righteousness of God is manifest (being attested by the law and the prophets), yet a righteousness of God through Jesus Christ´s faith, for all, and on all who are believing, for there is no distinction, for all sinned and are wanting of the glory of God. Being justified gratuitously in his grace, through the deliverance which is in Christ Jesus (whom God purpose for a Propitiatory shelter, through faith in his blood, for display of his righteousness because of the passing over of the penalties of sins which occurred before in the forbearance of God), toward the display of his righteousness in the current era, for him to be just and a justifier of the one who is of the faith of Jesus. (Romans 3:21-27 CLNT)
