Realm of
the Supernatural
Success in Life is obtained
by those who
enter the Realm of the Supernatural!
It is granted to those
who see the Big Picture!
The Big picture is beyond the finite mind. Step into the
supernatural...
The most
wonderful experience in which to be established is
the Revelation of the Good News
of Jesus Christ.
This conversion transforms us into the
supernatural realm.
It takes
us from the mind set of
living a dependence on human philosphies,
spiritism and
foolishness into personal relationship with the Living
Christ. When we
are transformed
into
children of
light, we are given gifts of wisdom... the knowledge,
understanding and experience
of living in Light, Life, and Truth in the
Kingdom of Heaven as we live
out our days on earth.
Prov
23:7,
9, 12 AMP
7a For as
he thinks in his heart, so is he.
9 Speak not in the ears of a [self-confident] fool, for he
will despise the [godly] Wisdom
of your words.
12
Apply your mind to instruction
and correction and your ears to words of knowledge.
Why does one live a
life of dependency on
human philosophies and other realms of
thought
and action?
Answer:
All are born into sin, it is the nature of mankind.
The ways of the world are of a sin
nature.
Each
culture
is taught the norms for that society. Man's societies beginning
at the "fall of Adam,"
reject the Living God of all creation and establish man or
a creature of nature or an object of the
heavens as god and gods. The nature of the
unregenerated mind embraces those belief
systems and acts upon them. Even some
who recieve the only true God witnessed by the
Son of Man, the Son of God, Jesus Christ are deceived into
false beliefs and turn away from
persevering in truth of the Word of God.
Where there is no truth of the Love of God being spoken by
the preaching of the Gospel,
people perish in daily activities that
are unfounded and irrational. They do not learn the ways
of the culture of the Kingdom of God. Therefore,
capacity to learn and to solve
problems and
difficulties such as traumatic emotional, physical and
biological suffering results.
As humans, mankind is subject to the ways of the worldly
systems as presented by the prince
of the air, the devil...for Satan himself masquerades as an angel
of light;
(2 Corinthians 11:14b AMP)
All of mankind strives for
acceptance and in the process is vulnerable to the traps of evil.
Here is poem written by
Charles R. Solomon published in his Handbook
to Happiness that
wonderfully
expresses man's quest for
acceptance:
Oh, to know
acceptance,
In a feeling sort of way;
To
be known
for what I am-
Not what I do or say.
It's
nice to
be loved and wanted
For the person I seem to be,
But
my heart
cries out to be loved
For the person who is really me.
To
be able to
drop all the fronts
And share with another my fears,
Would
bring
such relief to my soul,
Though accompanied by many tears.
When
I find
this can be done
Without the pain of rejection,
Then
will my
joy be complete
And feelings toward self know correction.
The
path to
feeling acceptance of God
Is paved with acceptance on Earth;
Being
valued
by others I love
Enhances my own feeling of worth.
Oh,
the
release and freedom He gives
As I behold his wonderful face-
As
Jesus
makes real my acceptance in Him,
And I learn the true meaning of grace.
A
pity it is
that so late we find
His love need not be earned;
As
we yield
to him all manner of strife
A precious truth has been learned.
Then,
as we
share with others who search
For love, acceptance and rest;
They'll
find
in us the Savior's love.
And experience the end of their quest.
Acceptance
and fulfillment is experienced
in the personal transformation
as "a renewed
being"
or as "born of the Spirit." It reaches the
highest form in hope, faith
and
love in Jesus Christ as
this poem confirms.
Riches in
life are fixed in God's grace... His favor is upon whosoever will believe upon His Son
and
live in His Light.
For
everyone who calls upon the name of the Lord [invoking Him as
Lord] will be saved.
But to as many as did
receive
and welcome Him, He gave the
authority (power, privilege, right)
to become the children of God, that
is, to those who believe in (adhere to, trust in, and rely on)
His
name-- [Isa 56:5.]
13 Who
owe their birth neither to bloods nor to the will of the flesh [that of
physical impulse] nor
to the will of man [that of a natural
father], but to God. [They are born of God!]
Christianity is not a
philosophy.
It is not a way of
life. The way we live demonstrates our beliefs.
Christianity
is a living person, Jesus Christ.
The
Living Word of God is Jesus Christ Himself... who
He is, what He does and how He can be
known in personal
experience. He
loves us so much, He gave
His life for us that
we may live
eternally with Him.
The Word of God is so powerful that He can transform any
and every life!
There
is power in Father's Word and His Spirit indwelling the Scriptures!
That
power makes that which does not exist to appear! (Romans 4:17)
The
majority of mankind have
their confidence in things they can see.
God's
Word can bring success into your
life...
"He sent
the Word and healed them" (Psalm 107:20)
Though you
may be deep in sin, you can come to Jesus in humble repentance and He
will forgive
you and cleanse you and heal your life.
His Words are spirit and life to those who will receive them.
(John 6:63)
There is a promise in Joel 3:21 that says,
"I will
cleanse their blood that I have not cleansed"
The Spirit of God is saying that He will provide new life within!
The
Light of Life of Jesus Christ, God's Son, can purify your heart
and mind
that you become entirely transformed... spirit, soul and body!
You
are transformed by the supernatural
work of
the Word of God and the Holy
Spirit!
If you can only believe, you can be saved and healed!
Dare to believe that Jesus was wounded for your
transgressions, was
bruised for your iniquities,
was chastised that you might have peace,
and that by the stripes of torn flesh He received as He
was brutally
beaten there is healing for you here and now!
As one receives the truth of Jesus Christ being the Son of
God, Father God sends the Holy Spirit
for
your earthly and eternal advantage... to meet the need of
everything that is not
right!
The simplicity of this salvation gift of the Father is so
wonderful!
One touch of living faith in Christ is all that is
required for
wholeness to be your portion of His love!
There
is power in the Name of Jesus to
meet every human need!
His
Name is above all Names... and all
power in heaven and earth are His.
The grace and
spiritual power of the Name of Jesus
represents all of Who He is!
God has made Him both Lord and Christ—this Jesus
whom you crucified.” (Acts 2;36)
As Lord and Christ…God’s Anointed King, Jesus
is presently exercising all authority,
rights and privileges of deity and is therefore
ruling and judging nations today
as King of kings and Lord of lords!
There is no postponement of His universal
Kingship!
John
14:14
[Yes] I will grant [I Myself will do for you] whatever you shall ask in
My Name
[as presenting all that I AM].
• In His Name
is Salvation!
• In His Name is forgiveness of sin!
• In His Name is healing and deliverance from every oppression of evil-
in spirit, soul and body!
• In His Name the Spirit is being manifest in Presence upon all flesh
in order that He might
fill all things and bring forth the “New Creation!”
• In His name the full blessings of Abraham and the sure mercies of
David come upon those
who call upon Him in faith!
• In His Name the nations are presently being brought under His
righteous rule and governmental
discipline.
Father
God has declared that
every knee shall bow to the Glory that
is sealed in the Name of Jesus!
Salvation is a command of God! It is
the grace
gift
of eternal life!
=======================================
Ephesians
1:9-14 (The Living
Bible Version)
God has told us his secret reason for
sending Christ, a plan he decided on in mercy long ago;
10 and this was his purpose: that when the time is ripe he
will gather us all together from wherever
we are-in heaven or on earth-to be with him in
Christ forever.
11 Moreover, because of what Christ has done, we have
become gifts to
God that he delights in,
for as part of God's sovereign plan we were
chosen from the beginning to be his, and all things
happen just as he
decided long ago. 12 God's purpose in this was that we should praise
God
and give glory to him for doing these mighty things
for us, who
were the first to trust in Christ.
13
And because of what Christ did, all you
others too, who heard the Good News about how to be
saved, and trusted
Christ, were marked as belonging to Christ by the Holy Spirit, who long
ago
had been promised to all of us Christians.
14 His presence within
us is God's guarantee that he really will give us all that he promised;
and the Spirit's seal upon us means that God has
already purchased us
and that he guarantees
to bring us to himself.
This is
just one more reason for us to praise our glorious
God!
=======================================
May
I personally share how awesomely that God
through Christ impacted my life in
His supernatural
way? He
changed my identity!
Nearly
thirty years since the
conversion of my spirit and soul,
memories
are still vivid of the encounter
that changed my life forever!
It
was spring of 1978, on a Sunday morning at
Mount Paran Church of God in Atlanta Georgia.
The
church was packed (estimating 2000 people) and I was going through
a
dire crisis in my life.
I had always considered that I was a
good person
and
that I was a believer, a "Christian" from
childhood. My parents had dedicated me to the Lord
and I spent my youth in a church that did not
believe in the need for a "born-again" experience.
As
a baby, I had been dedicated and had been sprinkled with water...
I
was so blind and ignorant to the truth!
My
life was filled with acts of
unrighteousness and immoral deeds. (sin)
I
had gone to college and
studied the great thinkers and their take on
living
life
to the fullest. I had read extensively about how
to foster
self worth and how
to become rich and famous. I was "educated"
and saw myself walking
the
path to material and self elevated success! I had learned the
formulas of
many men for success.
Every problem could be solved through
humanistic psychology was my belief system. My friends,
my
lifestyle, my desires and goals
were embedded in the belief of the freedom and individual
responsibility
belonging to whatever I wanted to do. Everything was
equated in
the color gray in
regard to how
they impacted my
world.
I
was so blind and ignorant to the truth!
The
reality of my success was distorted in my mind. Nothing could
hold me back. I had been divorced
for three years, had custody of
three children and was not setting a good example as a father.
The "social scene" was the big event
in my daily life. I was a
workaholic, a smoker, and evenings were
fun and buzzing out alcohol. My
sights were as set on a vision to build a national business that I
might
be rich.
This goal was front and center to all other activities. I
was facing some trumped up charges
resulting in a very
intensive
dispute with a business
partner who wanted to control and manipulate my
life. I was convinced that it was he who was
the source of
all my problems. My view of him became one
that he was very evil. I
began to despised him. He was stealing time, energy and money
from me and
from others while
deceiving us and covering
his
actions. I had experienced multiple consequences of
his lies and
had seen him take
financial advantage of many people.
It
was time for me to take my life back!
I
was so blind and ignorant to the truth!
Needless
to say, I was also intimidated, alarmed, and frightened of his
overt anger and actions.
He was cunning, ruthless and
unrelenting. There were many gruesome events and life threatening
days ahead. I was frightened for my safety and
my future. I was emotionally spent, and totally
pressed out of
measure as to how unpredictable he was. The more unpredictable he
was, the
more
unpredictable I became. I rationalized my
actions to be just and his to be insane. After much anguish,
the
courts
finally settled the dispute. His
actions continued to be
aggressive. He demonstrated
excessive rage even after judgment
and reprimand.
I
was so blind and ignorant to the truth!
During
this experience, I began to
cry out to God!
Faced
with a seemingly unending
serious sequence of events, I was encouraged by my fiancée,
Phyllis, to go with
her to church again.
That
Sunday morning, the Word of God was preached... then,
the call to
receive God's gift of salvation in Christ was presented.
I
was "stirred" in my spirit to go
to
the altar.
I
was to later learn that it was the Holy Spirit who convicted my
heart to respond to the call. I was drawn
to go in a very
compelling way. Quickly, I was on my knees facing the alter
along with
others before
that great assembly.
While bowed toward the floor, sincerely and humbly I asked God to
forgive me of
my sins
and my sorry ways of living. My sin of rebellion against
God in not living for Him but living
only for myself was all wrapped up
in everything for which I stood. My heart was rendered
with shame.
Instantly, I felt a glowing energy well up
through my chest and a
profound
weeping came upon me.
My whole body trembled and I shook,
now, laying face down sobbing on the
floor.
No longer was I aware of those around
me. God was
touching me with His love. As I regained
composure, I
was weak in
trying to stand to my feet and
an immense warmth and overflowing emotion
of love emerged and energized my
soul.
I
could
hardly see for the tears flooding my
eyes, steaming down my face.
I
wanted to reach out to hug everyone and share this overwhelming love
that I was
experiencing!
There
was
a sensation of exceedingly great
joy!
On
that
miracle Sunday, my
heart was forever changed!
God
had not
only shown supernatural mercy upon my soul, but He protected me
and set
me on a
wonderful path in a maturing relationship with Him through
the Word,
in fellowship of other believers
and in the personal comfort and
guidance of the Holy Ghost.
The Lord Jesus is alive! He revealed by His
Word, His
Spirit and fellowship with other believers how
self centered I
lived life. Through
divine love, The Lord touched me supernaturally and gave me an
abundant life in Him. This day, He continues to
reveal Himself in wonderous ways in my
life!
He
is real and He loves my very soul. I
was 36 when divine relational destiny manifested
in my life.
In
December 1978, Phyllis and I were
united in holy matrimony.
Our days
have been
spent growing in the
Light of
Christ!
I shall be
eternally grateful!

=======================================
Not
everyone has the same experience when the Holy Spirit draws them to the
saving grace
of Christ Jesus. It is not the dynamics
of the
experience that is of focus, but it is in what He does
with us at the time of
our conversion that is relevant.
Salvation carries an impact on one's life in how one
thinks and acts.
The evidence of conversion is:
1. A change of heart through repentance.
2. Acceptance of Christ.
3. Profession of conviction as a believer.
4. Action to follow the Truth, Life, and Spirit of
Christ as
demonstrated
in our daily lives and by active
service
within the church body.
You may have had opportunity to pray what is called "the
sinners
prayer" at some time in your life.
Were
you saved by exercising faith to pray?
If the
Holy Spirit moved upon you and you have experienced the measures of
conversion as listed
in the four evidences above, the
answer is
definitely...Yes!
We will study deeper into these in this webpage...
When you read Apostle Paul's letters, he specifically
addresses the
importance of placement in
a local body of believers.. Fellowship in
the local church is for your growth and spiritual covering.
From the
day that Jesus called His disciples, He covered them as a shepherd and
started to
disciple, to train them. Perhaps every
believer
considers themselves to be a disciple of Jesus
but what does that
really
entail? The word Disciple means a Learner or a Pupil Wanting to be
taught. Disciples listen, believe and don't abandon
ship when
things are not going to their liking.
A real disciple makes a commitment to Christ and His Word
and follows
it no matter the cost.
But before we can become a
disciple that understands spiritual language, we must be "born again"
of the Spirit. (See Disciples
of Light)
Many may have come
to new
life
in Jesus Christ
as a child. For
them, there may not have been
dramatic changes in their
lives. They began their early walk in Christ and continued to
grow in
Him over the years. One need not feel inferior or
apologetic about the way God
has brought one
into the Kingdom as though somehow the conversion was
not genuine or was not spectacular.
If you have walked in
life with an humble repentant heart coming to the Father in the Name of
His
Son asking for forgiveness for your offences to God and
others, He
has been faithful to His
promises and just to cleanse you of sin and
the acts of
unrighteousness.
Titus 3:5-7 AMP
5 He saved us, not because of any
works of righteousness that we had done, but because of His
own pity
and mercy, by [the] cleansing [bath] of the new birth (regeneration)
and renewing of the
Holy Spirit,
6 Which
He poured out [so] richly upon us through Jesus Christ our Savior.
7[And He
did it in order] that we might be justified by His grace (by His favor,
wholly undeserved),
[that we might be acknowledged and counted as
conformed to the divine will in purpose, thought,
and action], and that
we might become heirs of eternal life according to [our] hope.
Works of the Spirit are
varied of which we will learn more deeply as we study and seek Him.
1. Conversion of man's spirit from the control and
dominion of
darkness
into the guiding marvelous
Light of Jesus
Christ. (New Birth)
2. the Fruit of the
Spirit,
3. the manifestation of the Gifts (Holy Ghost administered) and
4. the awesome effects of the Holy Ghost's presence
and touch.
Apostle Paul tells us of Timothy whose conversion is as
real as was his.
From
early childhood, Timothy heard the Word of God from his grandmother,
Lois, and his mother,
Eunice.
2 Timothy 1:5 AMP
I am calling up memories of your sincere and unqualified faith (the
leaning of your entire
personality on God in Christ in absolute trust
and confidence in His power, wisdom, and
goodness), [a faith] that
first lived permanently in [the heart of] your grandmother Lois and
your mother Eunice and now, I am [fully] persuaded,
[dwells] in you
also.
In contrast, we
read the account of Paul the apostle, viewing an awesome event as
Saul of Tarsus
as he advances to
Damascus to persecute Christians.
Christ reveals Himself as a
blinding light
and Saul is so overwhelmed, he falls to the ground. After
the conversion
experience, Christ
changed Saul's name and identity and commissioned
him
to go forth in a new dimension and
destiny as Apostle Paul.
(See
the account
of Acts 9:1-21)
Paul
beheld the Light, which was the
manifestation of the Lord's Glory.
When he had a personal encounter with The Lord Jesus, he
was confronted about all
his
actions against Christianity were in fact being committed
against the Lord
himself. On that day
a new life was born. Christ Jesus
called Paul to serve in the
Kingdom. Through a "word of
knowledge" the Lord sent Ananias with
instructions concerning what to do and how to direct Paul
into the
divine calling of his ministry. Paul was baptized, empowered by the Holy
Spirit, and then
went to the synagogues proclaiming Jesus as the Son of God.
[Obtain Casar Castellanos D. book "The Revelation of the Cross"
for a comprehensive presentation of an encounter with Christ.]

The following details the 5-part pattern
to which a salvation encounter
establishes us in the service to God's King, Jesus Christ, and Lordship.
1.
"...to open their eyes..." (Acts 26:18a).
You
will receive Vision ... We
know that without vision people loosetheir direction.
Our spiritual eyes must be
opened.
You must first receive a vision of the
crucified Christ
and understand what the crucifixion
means to
convert to Christianity. When you understand
the Cross, in its true revelation, you are
able to
understand the calling.
2.
"...to turn them from darkness to light..." (Acts 26:18b)
You
will experience a genuine conversion... Your conversion must be from the heart,
soul and
spirit. Israel
because their conversation was just from their lips and not from their
heart were
rejected by God. John the Baptist told those
who came to him for
baptism, "...bear
fruits
worthy of repentance..." (Matt.
3;8)
Our
conversion from the powers of darkness and self-centered lives into the
Light of Life
of Jesus Christ, demands a change of lifestyle.
Acts
26:18 AMP
18 To open their eyes that they may
turn from darkness to light and
from the power of Satan to God, so that they may thus
receive
forgiveness and release from their sins and a place and
portion
among those who are consecrated and purified by faith in
Me.
All
things become new in Him as we live to serve and build
relationship with Him.
3.
"...and from the power of Satan to God..." (Acts 28:18c)
You
will know that you have been freed from Satan's control to the Lordship
of Jesus.
You are no longer a slave to Satan and
the demonic world. In Jesus you have been rescued
from
the enemy's control over your life. The success of a
victorious life depends upon our
relationship with the Lord as we commune with
the Holy Spirit.
To convert to the Light of Christ is to live
totally in love with Him.
4.
"...so that they may receive forgiveness of sins..."
You will
know that through faith in Jesus, you receive forgiveness of sins.
These
sins are actions resulting from the lust of the eye and the lust of the
flesh (extensive and
unrestrained desires). Satan
has strategies to enslave people with guilt, and shame, causing
them to believe that
their sins
have not been forgiven. This is how he retains
control of their
lives. The sins we have committed against
God
and others deserve punishment.
But, Jesus took them upon His
beaten and crucified body
receiving the punishment we
deserved. "The Sin of unbelief, the Adamic
Sin of
disobedience" to which we confess to enter
the Kingdom of God is not the
same as the "Sins" of the "lust of the eye" and the
"lust of the
flesh." Never-the-less, sin is sin. It is
rebellion to the Will of God.
1
John 1:9-10 KJV
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.
5.
"...an inheritance among those who are sanctified..."
You
will know your privilege in God. Conversion separates us
to a life serving God and we
receive an
inheritance of abundant life in righteousness, peace and joy in the
Holy Ghost while
on earth. We inherit continual eternal life
with
God as we depart
life on earth through death of
the body. Paul said, "He who did not spare His own
Son, but delivered Him up for
us all, how
shall He not with Him also freely give us all
things?" (Romans 8:32)
In our spiritual conversion, we
understand that
God gave up what He loved most, His own Son.
He did
so that we might
be saved... brought into right standing with Him... by repenting of our
sins to Father God and believing Jesus is the Christ, the only
begotten Son of
God,
God's
grace of salvation and the promise of eternal life is ours.
Sin
is... to not believe, not (putting
faith in, adhering to, and relying on) the
evidence (the
testimony) that God has borne regarding His Son.
To deny God's testimony of Jesus
Christ, is to call God a liar.
To confess
sin, we pray to Father God in the Name of Jesus.
With a repentant heart, we confess that
we believe God, we
receive His Son into
our heart and
we turn from our rebellious self centered
ways...
There is a great
question for each of us
to consider.
Is Jesus Christ the
Person, a personal
dynamic reality to us
today?
If He is not...
Are you ready for Him to change you?
Would you like to start life all over?
Ask Him!
He will make you anew!
The Lord Jesus's
perfect state as man and as God is
fully revealed in the Cross
and the Resurrection! He is
the Lord
Jesus Christ... an Eternal Living
Person!
He
is alive and powerful and will change the life of any person who
invites Him to do so.
It
is the resurrection power of God, available
today, that makes Christianity
unique!
The
Gospel of Jesus Christ is without equal!
Prophetically,
Jesus
put it multi-three dimensionally this
way...
1.
We are
to die to the
lust of the flesh, the lust of the eye and the pride of life.
2.
We are
to pick up our
cross daily which is spiritually evident in the tests,
trials, and
tribulations in our time on earth.
3.
We are
to follow Him. In Him is Light, Life and Spirit!
No
one
comes to the Father of Lights
but through the Son.
His
Name is above all Names and all
power in heaven and earth are His.
Father
God has declared that
every knee shall bow to the Glory that
is sealed in the Name of Jesus!
Salvation is a command!
Did you know that those
who will not receive the command of Father God shall be judged for
their
rebellion? 1
Sam 15:23 KJV
For
rebellion is as the sin of witchcraft, and stubbornness is as iniquity and idolatry.
God's grace is given to us through our faith in
Christ. We then seek the Kingdom of Heaven
and His
righteousness...
The Light of Truth
The
Light of Life
God
calls wicked... those who deny Him.
God declares that to
deny Him is sin.
Judgment
has already been pronounced on
sin.
The
penalty is death... eternal separation from God. It
is
the eternal death.
Father
God's perfecting Word of Light
not only promised the coming Judgment, but
also performed
the Judgment,
as a Witness of His hatred for sinful wickedness.
David prophesied this very time, season
and message in Psalm 125:3-5 AMP
3
For the scepter of wickedness shall not rest upon the land of the
[uncompromisingly] righteous,
lest the righteous (God's people) stretch
forth their hands to iniquity and apostasy.
4 Do
good, O Lord, to those who are good, and to those who are right [with
You and all people] in their
hearts.
5 As for
such as turn aside to
their crooked ways [of indifference to God], the Lord will lead them
forth
with the workers of iniquity.
In
this scripture we see a Holy
God in all of His Love and Mercy towards mankind in Jesus
Christ.
We
also see
God carry out His Rule of Light and Life against the realms of
darkness.
Darkness
is separated from Light...Self Pride/Rebellion is the greatest sin
against God!
Rebellion keeps one from
the Light of Truth of Jesus
Christ.
Rebellion keeps one in
ignorance and a life centered upon the ways of
men.
Men cannot accept the
Light of Truth. Unbelievers are seared in their
hearts against the things of God.
All things of God are denied in
"blindness."
Blindness equates to
darkness...
(1)
in Adam's
disobedience,
(2)
in the
forty day flood of the earth,
(3)
in the
destruction
of Jerusalem in 70 AD,
(4)
in the
messages of the Master regarding
the Eternal Judgments!
Sin is rebellion or disobedience to God. It is not believing God.
When one's
thoughts and emotions are affected and one assents to the act of
unbelief and disobeys
God... that is sin.
God is loving
and kind toward us,
He is also very serious about our
taking Him serious!
Jesus
Christ is the
Ruler of Light in Righteousness... doing the will of the Father.
- Jesus Christ came to
demonstrate the Will of the Father in all things.
- Jesus Christ came to redeem mankind
to right
standing with the Father.
- Jesus Christ came to destroy the works of
the
devil:
Satan is the
ruler of darkness in unrighteousness: pride, rebellion, and
wickedness.
- Satan has nothing in common with
Light.
- Satan has nothing in Light that belongs
to him.
- Satan has no power over Light.
Jesus Christ came with the
message of righteousness, life, sin,
and judgment.
Jesus Christ said
that when the Spirit of the Lord comes He will convict,
convince and demonstrate
to the
world the same message.
- the Light
of Righteousness
- the
Darkness of sin
- the
Judgment of Blessing or Curse
which is administrated to God's creation based upon the
choices one makes.
[Universal Law of Seedtime and Harvest]
Revelation, the Key to the Secrets and Mysteries of the Kingdom:
Christ
comes into our lives if
we ask Him to do so!
The
important aspect of being "born again"
is that we can share the reality of the experience of Christ
in our
personal life. We should have a different perspective on the way
in which we live and that which
motivates us.
Our
perspective becomes one that solves the "I" problem. The
essence of sin is
living
independently of God...going the "my way" rather than His
way.
The
Lord Jesus knocks at the
door of our heart and mind through the convicting presence of the Holy
Spirit. Only He can bring conviction of sin.
The
relationship is two fold... it is when we become
sensitive to the beckoning of the Holy Spirit
drawing us to Christ that inspires us to knock on
"Christ's Door" that the spiritual transformation is
made in our lives. When we "knock" and ask Him to
forgive us
and receive His rulership as Lord and
Redeemer, He manifests His Light
of Life in our lives! When
we receive all that He is, He comes in by
the Holy Spirit to
be with us this day and everyday throughout eternity. The
Holy Spirit seals us for our
eternal walk with God. We
become one with the Father and Christ by the indwelling Holy Spirit.
God cares for us! Solution to our problems are found in
Jesus Christ whose promise is to
change us
as
we commit ourselves to Him. Our daily experiences with Him through the
abiding presence of the
Holy Spirit changes our outlook
and acts in
life. Our personal walk with Him changes us.
The Light of Christ is seen through us in the "fruit" that
we
produce...
the
fruit of the Holy Spirit.
Gal 5:22-25 AMP
But
the fruit of the [Holy] Spirit [the work which His presence within
accomplishes] is love, joy
(gladness), peace, patience (an even temper,
forbearance), kindness, goodness (benevolence),
faithfulness,
23
Gentleness (meekness, humility), self-control (self-restraint,
continence). Against such things
there is no law [that can bring a
charge].
24
And those who belong to Christ Jesus (the Messiah) have crucified the
flesh (the godless human
nature) with its passions and appetites and
desires.
25
If we live by the [Holy] Spirit, let us also walk by the Spirit. [If by
the Holy Spirit we have our life in
God, let us go forward walking in
line, our conduct controlled by the Spirit.]
What
God does for one, He will do for
others!
If you are not yet
born of
the Holy Spirit through the Revelation of Christ we have
herein presented...
you and you alone can yield to His
convicting presence and let Him
direct your
heart and mind to
receive the Gift of Salvation. You must
realize that you
are lost in sin of unbelief and rebellion in the
ways of the world of
darkness before you can be saved into the Kingdom of Light.
2 Cor 7:10-11 NKJV
10
For godly sorrow
produces repentance leading to salvation, not to be regretted; but the
sorrow
of the world produces death.
The Bible states in Romans 10:17 AMP
So
faith comes by
hearing [what is told], and what is heard comes by
the preaching [of the message
that came from the lips] of Christ (the
Messiah Himself).
The power
of God is in His word and in His Spirit. Once the Word
of God has been spoken into your
heart, rely on the power and
presence of the Holy
Spirit to convict the heart .
You will never regret
that you give your heart and life to Christ.
You will never enter the Kingdom of Heaven in any other way.
Why are we
repeating the
principles and promises of salvation so many times?
Your future on
earth
and eternally is
Decided by Who You
have Chosen to
Believe...
It is the most important act one will
take in their entire life!
All spiritual blessings from the
Day of Salvation through Eternity are dependent
upon one's entrance into the
Kingdom of God.
There is only one way to be set
in right standing with Father God:
John
14:6 AMP
6 Jesus said to him, I am the Way and the Truth and the Life; no one
comes to the Father except
by (through) Me.
John 10:9 AMP
9 I am the Door; anyone who enters in through Me will be saved (will
live). He will come in and
he will go out [freely], and will find pasture.
Here is the Gospel of
Jesus Christ as spoken by the Master Himself...
John 3:12-21 AMP
12
If I have
told you of things that happen right here on the earth and yet none of
you believes Me,
how can you believe (trust Me, adhere to Me, rely on
Me) if I tell you of heavenly things?
13
And yet no one has
ever gone up to heaven, but there is one Who has
come down from heaven--
the Son of Man [Himself], Who is (dwells, has His
home) in heaven.
14
And just as Moses
lifted up the serpent in the desert [on a pole], so must [so it is
necessary that]
the Son of Man be lifted up [on the
cross], [Num 21:9.]
15
In order that
everyone who believes in Him [who cleaves to Him, trusts Him, and
relies on Him]
may not perish, but have eternal life and [actually]
live forever!
16
For God so greatly
loved and dearly prized the world that He [even]
gave up His only begotten
(unique) Son, so that whoever believes in
(trusts in, clings to, relies on) Him shall not perish
(come to
destruction, be lost) but have eternal (everlasting) life.
17
For God did not send
the Son into the world in order to judge (to
reject, to condemn, to pass
sentence on) the world, but that the world
might find salvation and be made safe and sound through
Him.
18
He who believes in
Him [who clings to, trusts in, relies on Him] is
not judged [he who trusts in Him
never comes up for judgment; for him
there is no rejection, no condemnation--he incurs no
damnation]; but he
who does not believe (cleave to, rely on, trust in Him) is judged
already [he has
already been convicted and has already received his
sentence] because he has not believed in and
trusted in the name of the
only begotten Son of God. [He is condemned for refusing to let his
trust rest
in Christ's name.]
19
The [basis of the]
judgment (indictment, the test by which men are
judged, the ground for the
sentence) lies in this: the Light has come
into the world, and people have loved the darkness rather
than and more
than the Light, for their works (deeds) were evil. [Isa 5:20.]
20
For every wrongdoer
hates (loathes, detests) the Light, and will not
come out into the Light but
shrinks from it, lest his works (his deeds, his
activities, his conduct) be exposed and reproved.
21 But he who practices
truth [who does what is right] comes out into
the Light; so that his works may
be plainly shown to be what they
are--wrought with God [divinely prompted, done with God's help,
in
dependence upon Him].
Salvation then,
simply
means "to be saved."
One
must realize that
one is lost in living a self-centered and
rebellious
life totally separated from God
beforeone can be saved. There are no short
cuts... The experience is for every man. woman and child.
What kind of life does
a "saved' person live?
God gives us three evidences of the spirit
that is "saved" and thus "born again."
These evidences
spring from the heart.
►One
such evidence is "love" towards other believers.
People who were unable to love others, now suddenly
find a river of
love flowing out through them.
1
John 3:14 AMP
14
We know that we have passed over out of death into Life by the fact
that we love the brethren
(our fellow Christians). He who does not love
abides (remains, is held and kept continually) in
[spiritual] death.
1
John 4:7-8 AMP
7
Beloved, let us love one another, for love is (springs) from God; and
he who loves [his fellowmen]
is begotten (born) of God and is coming
[progressively] to know and understand God [to perceive
and recognize
and get a better and clearer knowledge of Him].
8
He who does not love has not become acquainted with God [does not and
never did know Him],
for God is love.
►A second evidence is the witness of
the Holy Spirit.
There is a knowing, a
witness in your spirit that says , I Know, that I Know that I Know, I am a child
of God. I Know
that
I am in Christ and He is in me! I Know that I have passed from
death to
life, from
condemnation to salvation.
My faith
is assured in Romans 5:18 AMP...
18 Well
then, as one man's trespass [one man's false step and falling away led]
to condemnation for
all men, so one Man's act of righteousness [leads]
to acquittal and right standing with God and life for
all men.
1 John
5:10 AMP
10
He who believes in the Son of God [who adheres to, trusts in, and
relies on Him] has the testimony
[possesses this divine attestation]
within himself. He who does not believe God [in this way] has made
Him
out to be and represented Him as a liar, because he has not believed
(put his faith in, adhered to,
and relied on) the evidence (the
testimony) that God has borne regarding His Son.
Rom
8:16 AMP
16
The Spirit Himself [thus] testifies together with our own spirit,
[assuring us] that we are children
of God.
►A third evidence is the
"transformation" that takes place in the "new born." spirit.
No
longer do you have the rebel spirit to disobey the commandments of the
Lord. You no longer have
the attitude to do your own thing. Your focus is on
pleasing the Lord and seeking His will for your
daily life. You
are willing to yield to leadership and discipleship training in the
ways of God.
You want to do
His will.
John 14:21-24 AMP
21
The person who has My commands and keeps them is the one who [really]
loves Me; and whoever
[really] loves Me will be loved by My Father, and
I [too] will love him and will show (reveal, manifest)
Myself to him. [I will
let Myself be clearly seen by him and make Myself real to him.]
23 Jesus
answered, If a person [really] loves Me, he will keep My word [obey My
teaching]; and My
Father will love him, and We will come to him and make
Our home (abode, special dwelling place) with
him.
24
Anyone who does not [really] love Me does not observe and obey My
teaching. And the teaching
which you hear and heed is not Mine, but
[comes] from the Father Who sent Me.
With the desire to do the will of God comes a
transformation of
your desires.
There is a change that takes place. What you once
hated, you now
love.
The things that once attracted you no longer hold desire.
You are set
free of them.
They no longer rule you. A change of nature takes
place.
You begin to walk in the fruit of the Holy Spirit.
When the Holy
Spirit comes into you,
He brings the Life of Christ into your spirit being.
Your soul is implanted with a new nature. You become
a new
creation.
The old no longer has control for the new has taken
over.
You are delivered from the control and dominion of
darkness.
You do not become a "new creature" by
gradually changing
old lifestyle habits,
turning a "new leaf,"
and practicing reforming acts. Salvation is
not
reforming oneself.
Ephesians 5:8-11 AMP
8
For once you were darkness, but now you are light in the Lord; walk as
children of Light
[lead the lives of those native-born to the Light].
9 For
the fruit (the effect, the product) of the Light or the Spirit
[consists] in every form of kindly
goodness, uprightness of heart, and
trueness of life.
10 And
try to learn [in your experience] what is pleasing to the Lord [let
your lives be constant proofs
of what is most acceptable to Him].
11 Take
no part in and have no fellowship with the fruitless deeds and
enterprises of darkness,
but instead [let your lives be so in contrast
as to] expose and reprove and convict them.
We
are to be anointed for the work of the ministry!
The
Lord Jesus
was anointed by the Holy Spirit that He might do the works of the
Father and that
people would receive Him as the Son of God. By
the anointing
presence of the Holy Spirit, Jesus
did miracles, signs and wonders. Many of them
were recorded that
we would believe who He is
and follow Him as His disciples. The Good News
writings of
Matthew, Mark, Luke and John of the
New
Testament reveal the Truth of
Christ for us.
John 20:31 AMP
But
these (signs and miracles) are
written (recorded) in order that you may believe that Jesus is the
Christ (the Anointed one), the Son of God, and that
through believing
and cleaving to and trusting
and relying upon Him you may have life
through (in) His name [through Who He is].
[also see Ps
2:7,12.]
Receive God's free gift of
salvation and the transforming work of the Holy
Spirit!
The New Birth is a birth!
One is not born over a process of years. Birth both
in the physical and the spiritual is a specific
calendar date!
There is a specific time and a
place!
If you have not experienced the New
Birth...
NOW at this place
and on this day you can give your life to The Lord Jesus if you have not as yet done
so.
What
must you do to be saved?
You are redeemed by
God's gift
of grace to you.
Ephesians 2:8-9
AMP
8 For it is by free grace (God's
unmerited favor) that you are saved ( delivered from judgment and made
partakers of Christ's salvation) through [your] faith.
When with a repentant
heart confess your sins to the Lord.
Receive with all of your heart, body and soul that
Jesus
is the Christ, the only begotten Son of God.
You make the declaration of faith in Christ by
asking Him to forgive you and believing that He has done
so. The Holy Spirit comes to abide in you. He
is
given by
Father God as you are transformed into the
marvelous Light of
Christ. The Holy Spirit coming to abide in you is God's seal of
promise that you
have been received into the Kingdom of
God. You may or may not feel His presence.
It is your act of faith that seals God's gift of
salvation within you.
God
does not take your will and ability of making
decisions away from you. You are received
as
a
spiritual son (non-gender) of God. He adds Himself to
you by way of the Word and the
Holy Spirit.
From this day forward, as you walk in obedience to
the
Word of God and the guidance of the Holy
Spirit, your actions
confirm your faith in Christ!
God's ways are not our ways.
It is absolutely
necessary that you have an assurance of your salvation.
That assurance is solely based on the promise of God
in His Word.
Without assurance, you are without destiny and you
will be a victim of
the storms of life.
You must have a knowledge and assurance
that Christ has done in your life what He said He would.
Emotions may be a part of that assurance. But,
emotions may
fluctuate and change...
the word of God never changes. Your assurance
must
be based on the truth of God's Word.
The following scriptures are
recorded that you KNOW that you have been saved and given eternal life.
Eph
2:8-9 AMP
8
For it is by free grace (God's unmerited favor) that you are saved (
delivered from judgment and made
partakers of Christ's salvation)
through [your] faith. And this [salvation] is not of yourselves [of
your
own doing, it came not through your own striving], but it
is the
gift of God;
9 Not because of works [not the fulfillment
of the Law's demands], lest any man should boast. [It is not
the result
of what anyone can possibly do, so no one can pride himself in it or
take glory to himself.]
John 5:24-25 AMP
24 I assure you, most
solemnly I tell you,
the person whose ears are open to My words [who listens to
My message] and believes and trusts in and
clings to and relies on Him Who sent Me has (possesses
now) eternal
life. And he does not come into judgment [does not incur sentence of
judgment, will not
come under condemnation], but he has already passed
over out of death into life.
25 Believe Me when I
assure you, most
solemnly I tell you, the time is coming and is here now when
the dead
shall hear the voice of the Son of God and those who hear it shall live.
In this scripture, the Lord
is referring
to those who are
dead in sin.
The Word of God is Spirit and Life.
Jesus Christ was not talking
about a physical condition, but a
spiritual
condition.
The Lord Jesus was sent to
earth as fully
God and
fully Man. Christ took upon Himself the sins
of all
mankind through the
crucifixion. He was resurrected from the dead in His
spiritual body.
He was raised by the power of
the Holy Spirit into Eternal Life, He is the King of the Kingdom of Heaven,
Father God placed (crowned)
Him as King of
Kings of all creation!
When we hear the truth and
act on it we are given new life. We are resurrected into the Light of Life
in the Kingdom Law of the
Spirit. We are no longer subjects to the
Law of Sin and Death.
(Learn
more about Christ's spiritual body)
John 3:36 AMP
36 And he who
believes in (has faith in, clings to, relies on) the Son has (now
possesses) eternal life.
But whoever disobeys (is
unbelieving toward, refuses to trust in, disregards, is not subject to)
the Son
will never see (experience) life, but [instead] the
wrath of
God abides on him. [God's displeasure
remains on him; His indignation
hangs over him continually.]
1 John 5:10-13
AMP
10
He who
believes in the Son of God [who adheres to, trusts in, and relies on
Him] has the testimony
[possesses this divine attestation] within
himself. He who does not believe God [in this way] has made
Him out to
be and represented Him as a liar, because he has not believed (put his
faith in, adhered to,
and relied on) the evidence (the testimony) that
God has borne regarding His Son.
11
And this is
that testimony (that evidence): God gave us eternal life, and this life
is in His Son.
12
He who
possesses the Son has that life; he who does not possess the Son of God
does not have
that life.
13 I
write this
to you who believe in (adhere to, trust in, and rely on) the name of
the Son of God
[in the peculiar services and blessings conferred by Him
on men], so that you may know [with settled
and absolute knowledge]
that you [already] have life, yes, eternal life.
Your assurance is the Word of God...His
promise and fulfillment!
Stand
on the written Word.
When your emotions are out of tune with
God's Word, trust the written Word.
Romans
10:9-10 AMP
9
Because if you acknowledge and confess with your lips that Jesus is
Lord and in your heart believe
(adhere to, trust in, and rely on the
truth) that God raised Him from the dead, you will be saved.
10
For with the heart a person believes (adheres to, trusts in, and relies
on Christ) and so is justified
(declared righteous, acceptable to God),
and with the mouth he confesses (declares openly and speaks
out freely
his faith) and confirms [his] salvation.
To
obey
the command of salvation...
►Ask
forgiveness of your sins.
(Is
your heart rendered about them...are you truly sorrowful?)
True repentance entails:
1) acknowledgement of your sins
2) asking God for forgiveness
3) turning away from your sins no longer
letting them control you.
Don’t let your mind fool you; you can’t keep
your sin.
You must lay it down and walk away!
Remember this: When you turn toward sin you
are turning away from
Jesus.
When you turn away from sin you are
turning to Jesus.
►Confess
openly with the words of your mouth... and with fulness of heart
receive
Jesus
as the Son of God.
(It is your heart, the fullness of your belief and
actions that God
desires.)
►Ask
Him to be
Lord
and Master of your Life.
(He knows the intent of your mind and
heart. He wants your
surrender.
You are making a peace treaty with God through
His Son.)
►Thank
Him for
His mercy upon your soul.
(When we humble before the Lord, His promises
are sure.
When we surrender to His love, He gives
Life eternal.
The
soul and spirit are eternal, the
physical body is not.
