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 on earth is to fully
receive
the Revelation of the
Good News
of Jesus
Christ!
This
conversion in one's
spirit and soul
transforms us into the
supernatural
realm.
It takes
us from the mind set
of living a dependence
on human
philosophies, spirit-ism
and foolishness
into
personal
relationship with
the Lord Jesus
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.
Proverbs
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
created and 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 or
gods.
Roman
and Greek rulers
asserted themselves
as
a god
and commanded all
under their rule to
bow
down to
their imposed
superiority and god
status.
The
nature of the
unregenerated or the
worldly
focused
mind embraces those
belief systems
and
acts upon them. Even
some who receive 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 through 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
is
handled by natural
or carnal
mind. 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)
All of mankind
strives for
acceptance
and in the
process is
vulnerable
to the traps
of evil.
Here is a
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's name
(which
represents all that
He is) and live
in His
Light (His
Righteousness).
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.
(The way
we live
demonstrates
our beliefs.)
It is not only a way
of life.
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 and
be reconciled
to Father God.
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)
John
10:22-30
22 Then came
the Festival
of Dedication
at Jerusalem.
It was winter,
23 and Jesus
was in the
temple courts
walking in
Solomon's
Colonnade.
24 The Jews
who were there
gathered
around him,
saying, How
long will you
keep us in
suspense?
If you are the
Messiah, tell
us plainly.
25 Jesus
answered, I
did tell you,
but you do not
believe.
The works I do
in my Fathers
name testify
about me,
26 but you do
not believe
because you
are not my
sheep.
27 My sheep
listen to my
voice; I know
them,
and they
follow me.
28 I give them
eternal life,
and they shall
never perish;
no one will
snatch
them out of my
hand.
29 My Father,
who has given
them to me,
is greater
than all; no
one can snatch
them
out of my
Fathers hand.
30 I and the
Father are
one.
Though you may
be deep in sin
(rebellion
against
God), you can
come to the
Lord Jesus in
humble
repentance and
He will
forgive you,
not holding
sin of
rebellion
toward God
against you
and
heal your
life.
(John 6:63)
His Words are spirit and life
to those who
will receive
them.
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 have a
'new'
beginning in
life and it is
eternally
blessed by
God!
Titus 3:5-7
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.
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
(sin), was
chastised
(crucified on
a cross)
that you might
have peace, and
that by the
(whipping),
imposing
stripes of
torn flesh
as He was
brutally
beaten,
there is
healing for
your body,
soul and
spirit
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!
(Acts 2:36)
"God has made
Him both Lord
and
Christ—this
Jesus
whom you
crucified.”
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!

forgiveness of
sin!
•

healing and
deliverance

oppression of
evil in
spirit, soul
and body!

In His Name
the Spirit is
being manifest
in Presence
upon all flesh

He might fill
all things and

the “New
Creation!”
•
In His name
the full
blessings of
Abraham and
the

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 God through
Christ
impacted my life in His
supernatural
way?
He
changed my
identity!
Some thirty
years plus, 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 (the philosophy
of relativism).
Everything was equated
in the "color gray" in
regard
to how
they impacted my
world.
There
was no concrete
white or black...
absolute right or
wrong.
I
was
so blind and
ignorant to the
truth!
The reality
of 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
filled with
"fun and
buzzing out" on
alcohol and pot.
My sights
were set on a vision
to build a national
business
that I might become
financially and
materialistically
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
despise 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 to go
with her
to church. That
Sunday morning,
the Word
of God's Love was
preached... then,
the call
to receive
God's gift of
salvation in Christ
was
presented.
I needed a rescue,
badly!
Nothing I
had done worked.
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
and
treating
others.
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
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 I had never
before experienced
emerged
and energized my soul.
I
could hardly see
for the tears
flooding my eyes,
and
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 to me
by His
Word, His Spirit and
fellowship with
other
believers how self
centered I had 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
wonderfully
marvelous ways in my
life!
He is
real and He loves my
very soul. I was 36
when
divine relational
destiny manifested in
my life.
I am now
80 (in 2022).
I am
humbly
grateful to
Jesus Christ!

=======================================
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
(our
change of heart
and mind) 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 His
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 equipping
for the "work
of ministry!"
From the day
that Jesus
called His
disciples,
He covered
them as a
shepherd and
taught
and trained
them by
demonstration
of the power
of the
Kingdom!
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
genuine
disciple makes
a commitment
to Christ
and His Word
and follows it
no matter the
cost
of opposing
forces caused
by people
or spiritual
demons.
But, before we
can become a
disciple
that
understands
spiritual
language,
we must be
"born again"
of the
Spirit.
(see "Disciples
of
Light"
link in
Inner
Chambers
Directory)
Many may have
come to new life
in
Jesus Christ as a
child.
For
them, there may
not have been
dramatic
or
dynamic changes in
their lives.
Perhaps 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 somehow a
physically or
emotionally
spectacular event.
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 offenses to
God and others,
He
has been faithful
to His promises
and has been just
to
cleanse you of sin
and the acts of
unrighteousness.
Titus 3:5-7
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. He then
commissioned him
to go
forth in a new
dimension and
destiny as Paul,
an
apostle (vanguard,
sent one,
ambassador,
special
messenger).
(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
regarding
all his
actions
against
Christianity
that 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"
(received
divinely
in the spirit
by the Holy
Spirit) 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, the Son
of God... "the
Messiah!"
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
lose their
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...
Conversion
must be from
the heart,
soul and
spirit.
Israel was
rejected by
God because
their
conversation
was just from
their lips
and not from
their
heart.
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 must be
changed into
words
of the Light
of Jesus
Christ.
Doing so
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 and
redeemed
into the
Lordship of
Jesus.
You are no
longer a slave
to Satan
and the
demonic world.
In Christ
Jesus you are
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 Word
and 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
people...
(through
deception)
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
lust: "lust of
the eye"
and the "lust
of the flesh."
Never-the-less,
sin is
sin.
Lust is
rebellion to
the Will of
God.
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
physical 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,
(our rebellion
against Him)
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
judgment of
the
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...
our
words and
actions... the
fruit of the Holy
Spirit.
Galatians
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 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 first
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],
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
before one can
be
saved.
There are no
short
cuts...
The experience
is personal
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.
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.
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 14:18-24
(AMP)
18 I will not
leave you as
orphans
[comfortless,
desolate,
bereaved,
forlorn,
helpless];
I
will come
[back] to you
19 Just a
little while
now, and the
world
will not see
Me any more,
but you will
see Me;
because I
live, you will
live also.
20 At that
time [when
that day
comes] you
will know
[for
yourselves]
that I am in
My Father, and
you [are]
in Me, and I
[am] in you.
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.]
22 Judas, not
Iscariot,
asked Him,
Lord,
how is it that
You will
reveal
Yourself
[make Yourself
real] to us
and not to the
world?
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.
Renewal and
reformation of
the "new" is
done
by
the Holy
Spirit... by
God.
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.
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 Psalm
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...
If you
have not as
yet done so,
NOW
at this place
and on this day
you can
ask
The
Lord Jesus
with your whole
heart, mind
and
soul for
forgiveness of
your rebellion
against God.
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.
With
a repentant heart
confess your sin
of unbelief
and
rebellion against
God the Father.
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.
Take
your time...
openly speak
with
a heart of deep
sincerity.
The
Holy Spirit comes
to abide in you.
He is
given by Father
God as you are
spiritually
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 spoken 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!
At
first glance James
2:18
seems
to contradict
Romans 3:28,
James
2:18 (AMP)
18
But someone will
say [to you
then],
You
[say you] have
faith,
and
I have [good]
works. Now you
show me your
[alleged] faith
apart
from any [good]
works [if you
can],
and
I by [good]
works [of
obedience]
will show you my
faith.
Rom
3:28 (AMP)
28
For we hold that
a man is
justified and
made
upright by faith
independent of
and distinctly
apart
from good deeds
(works of the
Law).
[The observance
of the Law
has
nothing to do
with
justification.]
"We
are made right
with God through
faith
and
not by obeying the
law."
Deeper insight
shows that the
teachings of James
and
Paul are not at
odds. While it is
true that our
good
deeds can never
earn salvation,
true faith always
results in a
changed life and
good deeds.
Paul
speaks against
those who try to
be saved by
deeds
instead of true
faith; James
speaks against
those
who confuse mere
intellectual
assent
with
true faith. Even
demons know who
Jesus is,
but
they don't obey
him.
True
faith involves a
commitment
of
your whole self to
God.
We
are known by our
fruits.
Luke
6:44-45
(AMP)
44
For each tree is
known and
identified
by
its own fruit;
for figs are not
gathered
from thorn
bushes, nor is a
cluster of
grapes
picked from a
bramble bush.
45
The upright
(honorable,
intrinsically
good) man
out
of the good
treasure
[stored] in his
heart
produces what is
upright
(honorable
and
intrinsically
good), and the
evil man
out
of the evil
storehouse
brings forth
that which is
depraved (wicked
and
intrinsically
evil);
for
out of the
abundance
(overflow) of
the heart
his
mouth speaks.
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 devil
plundering
your heart,
mind and soul.
Without
reading
the Living
Word and
walking in the
Light
of righteous
living, you
allow (open
your spirit)
to the works
of darkness and
the ways of
the world
(the acts of
immorality...
sin against
the provisions
of the Kingdom
of God).
You must have
a knowledge
and assurance
that Christ
has done in
your life what
He said He
would.
This the
meaning and
confirmation
called your
'testimony."
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 may
KNOW that you
have been
saved and
the promise
of life in
Christ on
earth and in
the eternal
after your
physical
death.
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. 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 sin of all
mankind
(rebellion and
unbelief in
Him
and His plan
of salvation)
through the
crucifixion.
He was
resurrected
from the dead
in His
physical and
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.
How do we know
we are given
the new life?
Answer:
we experience
a "new desire"
and "active
energy" to
seek
more
about Him.
We have a
spiritual
"thirst" and
"hunger' to
know
God.
We find
ourselves
wanting to
read about
Him,
talk about Him
and experience
His Presence!
We begin to
see the things
that were
important to
us
before our
change of
heart and
those things
become less
and less
important.
We 'turn from
our wicked
ways" in
defying
the Law of the
Spirit
(Obtain
spiritual
understanding:
Chapter 8 of
the Book of
Romans
in the NEW
COVENANT!)
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!
When we make
peace with God
by believing
in His free
gift of the
work
of His Son, we
receive the
promise of
God...
the Spirit
Life,
eternally in
His Kingdom,
in His
presence...
Today and
forever from
age to age!
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
and its
demonstration.
You must lay
down your
rebellion
to God and His
Word and walk
away!
Remember this:
When you turn
toward sin
you are
turning away
from Jesus.
When you turn
away from sin
(non
conformity to
the Living
Word)
you are
turning to
Jesus.
►Confess
openly with
the words of
your mouth...
and with
fullness of
heart receive
Jesus
as the Son
of God
and as Lord
(ruler) of
your life.
(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.
Are you
a new follower
of the Lord
Jesus
and ready to become
active in
learning the
ways
of His Light
of Life
(Righteousness)
in the Kingdom
of Heaven?
The bible, the
published Word
(Jesus Christ)
decrees,
proclaims and
confirms Him
as
the "King of
Righteousness."
He was sent to
earth
to proclaim
and lay the
foundation for
the Kingdom of
God, the
Kingdom of
Heaven to come
to earth and
remain!
Matthew 6:30-34 (AMP)
The Lord Jesus
spoke:
30 But if God
so clothes the
grass of the
field,
which today is
alive and
green and
tomorrow is
tossed into
the furnace,
will He not
much more
surely
clothe you, O
you of little
faith?
31 Therefore
do not worry
and be
anxious,
saying,
What are we
going to have
to eat? or,
What are we
going to have
to drink?
or, What are
we going to
have to wear?
32 For the
Gentiles
(heathen) wish
for and crave
and diligently
seek all these
things,
and your
heavenly
Father knows
well
that you need
them all.
33 But seek
(aim at and
strive after)
first of all
His kingdom
and His
righteousness
(His way of
doing and
being right),
and then all
these things
taken together
will be given
you besides.
34 So do not
worry or be
anxious about
tomorrow,
for tomorrow
will have
worries and
anxieties
of its own.
Sufficient for
each day is
its own
trouble.
What shall we
do?
► Find
a 'full
Gospel"
gathering of
believers
led and filled
by the Holy
Spirit.
► Seek
the baptism of
the Holy
Ghost.
(See: "Being

Amen (so let
it be).

We recommend the
Amplified Version
for simplicity
and
ease of
translation.
Even
better is the
Parallel Bible containing
both
the King
James and
the Amplified
versions,
verse

side.
There are
many translations
available.
The two
recommended here
will give a solid
foundation
of
God's truth to open
your spiritual
"eyes"
of
understanding. The
Amplified gives
clarity
to
the Hebrew and the
Greek languages.
Become a
disciple of
Christ...
Your life is no
longer about you
and self centered
and
self gratifying
ways.
Now your
life is all about
you, centered
in the Lord
and
the needs of
others!
Bless you
and welcome to a
new and exciting
adventurous life in
Christ
forevermore!
