Want real insight into Gods character?

Just a quick note on something God told me one time.

I asked him to tell me what he was like.

He told me that to understand him better that he wanted me to deeply think about this…

He said,

I made tickle spots on people on purpose,

now think about that.

Have you ever tickled a child? Did you know that the lord God of all time space and dimension, the one that hung on a cross to die for your sins, the one they made that impressive cathedral for?

He had to purposely design tickle spots when he designed man. That little giggle your kiddos make when they get tickled is designed.

What kind of mind designs tickle spots into humans? Think about that for very long while that will do you some good. Next time your getting too religious think about that.

Its fun to see the reaction in our minds when we think of this truth. This worlds dark and small ideas about who God is gleefully crashes in a heap upon this rock solid solid happy truth.

Its nice to see that kind of God playfully peeking out from behind the religious image of God the world creates in our mind. Watch how quickly the mind tries to go back to the old religious image but don’t let it, Make it obey the truth in this. Stare intently at the mind of deity revealed in the tickle me Elmo carefully designed into each of us. Soon you will see something real and wonderful.

The trap is broken…Who is this birdcatcher that Psalm 91:3 talks about?

http://answers.yahoo.com/question/index?qid=20080112074213AA9dJYO

Who is this birdcatcher that Psalm 91:3 talks about?

Psalm 91:3 says.. “Jehovah himself will deliver you from the trap of the birdcatcher” What does that mean to you?

Best Answer – Chosen by Asker

Satan.

(Psalm 124:7-8) Our soul is like a bird that is escaped from the trap of baiters. The trap is broken, And we ourselves have escaped. Our help is in the name of Jehovah, The Maker of heaven and earth.

(Psalm 25:15) My eyes are constantly toward Jehovah, For he it is that brings my feet out of the net.

(2 Timothy 2:25-26) Perhaps God may give them repentance leading to an accurate knowledge of truth, and they may come back to their proper senses out from the snare of the Devil, seeing that they have been caught alive by him

This concept helps reveal that Satan is actively using much of humankind to further Satanic purposes now, rather than after the death of a person. Even a well-intentioned person can be “caught” and used for Satanic purposes (see Matt 16:23), but he can still recover his senses, escape Satanic control, and be an asset to God and Christ (see John 21:15-17).

the door to your house, enter in to rest, You’re no longer part of the System. You’re above the System. Over it. Beyond it. We’re “them.” We’re “they.”

Jesus talked about people striving and struggling to get into the kingdom of heaven. In another passage it says the “kingdom allows the violent and the violent take it by force.”

I thought I would mention something I have discovered about Jesus being the door.  I notice that at any time I can come into a place of peace by believing in the blood of Jesus. It quiets me and makes my mind at ease. I can believe in it and all the thoughts that would normally overpower me, all my worries just fade out and I am in peace. I have learned to live here in this peace. You can short circuit this worlds system, Jesus blood makes it possible. You can live in peace.

This is the door that Jesus talked about. He said he was the door. He said his flesh was true food and his blood true drink. (when is the last time you had TRUE spirit food, are you hungry?)

In the spirit world this sacrifice of Jesus is before all things. It is above this worlds system. When you think about it, when you rely upon it by faith you WILL notice the peace. You walk through the door from our world into the next. You go to above and not beneath.  The word says that the lord is a dwelling place, a home. Jesus blood is the door. Faith IN that sacrifice is the key that opens it. Try it, open the door to the “house of love”. You will know when your doing it right, “the effect of righteousness is peace. ” When your doing it right peace will  come. “Those who believe do enter into that rest.”

Romans 15:13 (Amplified Bible)

¹³May the God of your hope so fill you with all joy and peace in believing [through the experience of your faith] that by the power of the Holy Spirit you may abound and be overflowing (bubbling over) with hope.

You will come back into control of your life, the blood makes you at peace. It makes the powers that be in this earth loose there grip on you.

“Are you tired? Worn out? Burned out on religion? Come to me. Get away with me and you’ll recover your life. I’ll show you how to take a real rest.” Matthew 11:28 (The Message)

In psalms 91 it says that he that lives in the shelter (house) of the most high will rest.

I asked God where the secret place of the most high was as mentioned in Psalm 91. It bugged me that it said we would rest in his shadow. “God has no shadow”, I thought. He is light and in him is no darkness at all. So I asked him to tell me. I woke up the next morning to a small voice that said, “what part of the Godhead had a shadow.” Jesus did, well his body did anyway I answered. Then I saw. Jesus body is our covering, our shelter. It shields us from the light of Gods scrutiny. The “cleft in the rock.”  Our covering. All the promises of God are yea and amen IN him. You are complete IN him. Without ME you can do nothing. How do you get “IN him.” I asked God that. How do you get in him, He that eats my flesh and drinks my blood abides IN ME.

“lives there”.

Jesus is the door to the house of peace, the apartment of love. The Lord God is a dwelling place. A sun, A shield.

In the movie poster of men in black it says

“protecting the earth from the scum of the universe”.

Would you like protection from all the thoughts that bombard your mind, or the urges that compel you to do what you don’t want to do? (see Romans 6,7,8) Apply the blood, lean on it depend on it, become above the system.

zed from “men in black”

You’re no longer part of the System. You’re above the System. Over it. Beyond it. We’re “them.” We’re “they.”

And the LORD shall make thee the head, and not the tail; and thou shalt be above only, and thou shalt not be beneath; Deuteronomy 28:13 Picture below of men in black coming out of a door…

Jesus does that for us. Instead of the kingdom of the air barraging our thoughts and trying to control us with their “evil urges” we seperate from them, beyond their control. We are no longer in “their system”. All because of the wonderful Jesus! (sorry got a little excited there) You CAN be free, you can be at peace, you can do what is right and be amazing. You can go free from the snare of the fowler. Someone paid your bill! Your free to go!

Before you is the door. Will you open it?

Send me a postcard from peacetown… lol

keeping the vinyard…

I saw this post on another blog I read, thought I would post it here.  from this blog

http://www.cseblogs.com/?p=237

From: Kent Hovind
Sent: Sent April 23, 2009
To: Vinny
First Read: Mt. 21:33-41; Jn. 15:1-11

KH: Good morning, Lord!

God: Good morning, Son.

KH: Thanks for the new day, Lord. What would You like me to do today?

God: Thanks for asking, Son. Let’s go for a walk. I’ve got a child of mine in Italy named Vinny; he can explain it to you…
That’s Vinny, Son, Go talk with him and listen carefully to his answers.
You’ll get your question answered.

KH: Okay Lord…. Good morning, Vinny. This is a beautiful vineyard you have here! Can you tell me about it?

Vinny (VI): I’d be glad to. I love everything about this place! It’s been my life for 40 years now. Let’s have a seat in the shade over here, and I’ll get you a glass of fresh squeezed grape juice. There is no taste like it in the world…

KH: Thanks… Wow! This is awesome! I don’t think I’ve ever tasted anything like it in my life!

VI: None. This vineyard belongs to Luigi Abruzzo. We all call him Lu for short. He hired me when I was just a kid and taught me all about raising grapes. After a few years, he made me manager. Now he lives way up in Bolzano near the Alps.

KH: How often does he come see the place?

VI: In the early days he came several times a year, but not as often now.

KH: Why not?

VI: No need to. I know what he wants done and how to do it. He doesn’t need to tell me again everyday. I just send him the profits every year. He trusts me to run the place and get the job done.

KH: So, what do you have to do every day to run a place like this?

VI: Oh my! Lots of things! It varies greatly from day to day. I’m totally free to run my own schedule. Let’s see: I plant new vines as needed, tend to the young ones, put up wires to guide them to grow right, prune off branches that don’t bear fruit (Jn.15), pull weeds, check for holes in the fence, harvest the ripe grapes, maintain all the equipment, hire and train new help, keep the processing equipment sanitized, watch the weather, watch the market, keep contact with buyers, be prepared for thieves, be ready for frost, and watch carefully for diseases getting to the grapes or vines.
That’s just the short list. I’m sure there a thousand other things I do each day out of habit.

KH: Wow! You must have a long TO DO checklist everyday to go through. How do you remember it all?

VI: In the early days I had to keep a list so I wouldn’t miss anything, but now, it’s pretty much habit. I don’t need to think about most of it. Excuse me, Kent. Hey, Joe! That first vine in row 7 has stopped producing. Dig around it and fertilize it, would you please?

Joe: Sure, boss. I’ll get to it right away. I think I know what it needs to bring it back.

KH: So, is working here a hard job?

VI: Oh no! It’s hard work alright, but I love it. I feel like I get paid to do what I love all day long. It’s not a job to me at all. I love every moment of it.

KH: That’s great! When Lu comes down, what do you talk about?

VI: I love it when he comes. We are great friends! Sometimes we walk around the vineyard to just admire the beauty of it all. God made an amazing plant when He made the grape vine. They live for centuries! Sometimes we just sit and talk. We may talk about production, but mostly just stuff friends talk about. He lets me have complete freedom to run my days, the staff, and the vineyard any way I want, just so it produces fruit honestly. On some visits we go to the beach or play golf. We’re just friends, that’s all.

KH: Thanks Vinny. I think you have answered my questions. And thanks for the awesome grape juice! Keep producing for the master.

VI: You are welcome, and I will.

God: Let’s go home, Son. ….

KH: Thanks Lord. I think I get it now. You don’t need me to ask you every detail of every day, just produce fruit and enjoy doing it. Is that the lesson from Vinny?

God: That’s right, Son. A lot of My children are wrapped up in their TO DO list to try to please Me. Cain tried the same thing. Some think I will love them more if they do more. Some count how many chapters in My Word they read each day and how many minutes they spend fasting or praying and think it gets them special points with Me. How sad! Produce fruit and enjoy doing it, Son. Some even brag to others about all they do, how many times they have read the Bible, how many days they fasted, how much money they give, or how many good deeds they do. They measure their worth or spirituality by those things.
The Pharisees tried the same thing. I wasn’t impressed then, and I’m not now.
You have read My Word, Son. You know what I want done and how to do it. Go into all the world and preach and teach My word. Win souls, and train the new converts to grow right and produce fruit for Me. Feed my sheep. You also know from My word the things I do not want My children to do.
Read My instruction manual, help people who are hurting, just be like I was when I was there in the flesh – go about doing good (Acts 10:38).
When you sin, confess it and keep clean (I Jn. 1). If serving Me is a burden, Son, you are doing it all wrong (Mt. 11:29).

KH: Thanks, Lord. I guess I do get all up tight wondering if I have done enough to please you each day, don’t I?

God: Sometimes you do, Son. Jesus pleased Me 100%. His righteousness has been imputed to your account – on account of your not having any (Rom. 4; James 2). Go get a tan, Son. Meditate on My Word and My creation. I’ve got your back.

Satan’s dirty little secret, two spirits that all other demonic spirits get their strength from.

This is a book you should check out. The autor goes into the two evil spirits that give strength to all other spirits the Devil uses on people.

The two spirits are insecurity and inferiority. He went into how that Eve was manipulated by these two spirits in that she felt insecure when she thought God may have lied to her, then inferior because she didn’t know good from evil.  The author says that these two spirits are at the root of all  human failings. Then he tells how to cure these two problems and live a better life.

Satan’s Dirty Little Secret: The Two Demon Spirits That All Demons Get Their Strength From

spiritual force

In revelations the bible says the anti-christ worships the God of forces. Jesus said that The kingdom of the air allows the violent, and that the violent take it by force.

Spiritual forces are what rules the planet. The bible says the spirits rule.

Once I went into a grocery store with my son. I asked him what was more important here what we could see or what we couldn’t see. The answer is of course what was not seen. It was ideas and desires that had brought everyone to the store and they were pushing there bodies around by those ideas and urges to get food or items based on their thought life. Without that unseen world they would not be there. Without force behind the thoughts no one would act on them.

Jesus says its not what we eat or drink that makes us unfit for God but our thought life. This is that unseen kingdom. The kingdom of the air. The kingdom of heaven. In Greek its air or breath.  God made everything by speaking mixed with the force of faith so the word kingdom is the primary one. You were made in his image so you can apply the force of faith to whatever you want. Everything in existence is subject to words mixed with faith not the other way around. You could move mountains with it Jesus said.

The spirit world made the seen world.

Understanding the forces of words mixed with faith is key to understanding the spirit world. You live in the spirit world and your spirit although dead and fallen becomes  alive through Christs’ words. He said “my words are spirit and they are life.” In the old testament it says studying the Scripture is not a vain thing for you “for it is your life.” Jesus said “Man does not live by bread alone but by every word that comes out of the mouth of God. ” As you receive Jesus words by faith you will become alive again reversing the fall of man. Adam lived 900 more years after he fell even though God said he would die that day. His spirit died. You become alive again by receiving the word of God as real by faith which is how the whole of the universe came into existence.  (Gods’ faith +words=our present reality) After that its your faith +words=your reality to some degree.

How much of the word of God is working in you? The word says that spiritual people mind spiritual things and that carnal fallen man(the flesh) minds the things of the flesh. If the word of God is not that important to you then you are living in the flesh. It says in Romans if though the spirit you put to death the deeds of the flesh you will live but if you keep living after the flesh you will perish. (eternal separation from God) God says my spirit will not always strive with man, for he is also flesh. It also says God judges sin in the flesh. Jesus flesh becomes the substitute for yours and makes you able to enter the spirit kingdom alive. He is the door. Because Jesus took your punishment you wont have to be punished if you accept his sacrifice by faith. Faith is the building block of the universe and is spiritual reality.

So words are super important. Gods words are spirit and they are your life.

However it is very important you understand what spirit is behind the words said. You can speak Gods words but if you don’t mix it with faith or you mix it with a wrong spirit they can kill you.

The right spirit for the word of God is love mixed with truth.

Some say faith and thats right but faith works through love. No love = no working faith, it profits you nothing. The power behind the words, the force needs to be truth working through love. The word says “speaking the truth in love you might GROW up into him who is the head principality and power.” You can read the bible with fear, doubt, not taking it seriously or the wrong way and the bible then will do damage. Its a two edge sword. The bible says that a mans heart colors everything you see. If you look at the word with a evil heart your going to see the words through fear, doubt etcetera and you will get a return from that. If you look at the bible and take it seriously and with love you will see the word and instead of a stumbling block to you it will uphold you and make your spirit alive again.  It depends on your heart. The word says the light (Jesus is the light of the world, he is the the word) entered the world but the darkness comprehended it not. It also says those with pure hearts will get stronger and stronger. Another verse says purify your heart with love mercy and truth. Jesus says he bought the church so that he might cleanse it with the washing of the water of the word.

So the word is very important if mixed with the right forces.

are you rooted and grounded? Will your life count for anything?

The parable of the sower Jesus says that some receive the word , but it has little depth of earth and when the sun shines on it then it shrivels up.  It is too hot for it and it doesn’t draw up enough nutrients and water cause of it’s shallow roots. Lets take a look at this. The Bible always translates itself so other bible verses tell us what this means. In this case does the bible ever mention rooting? In one verse it says “rooted and grounded in love.” In another verse it says “let (you do this) your roots grow down deep in his marvelous love.” So we see the depth is love. You can’t make a go of it in the Christian life if your shallow in love. Sure you can “look” like a Christian but there won’t be much left of your life if you don’t major in sincere love. The Bible says in 1st Corinthians 13 love stands up under any pressure. It endures all things. So we have identified what the rooting is. Love is where you get your nutrients from, your water, your food, your sap. You draw from love. It makes you grow. In 1st Corinthians it says when I was a child (little love), then it says when I became a man (big love), then points to love. Love is what we are supposed to grow up too. God made man in his own image, God is love.  ”put on the new man created in the image of him that created him”

Could love be THAT important in Christianity? In 1st Corinthians 13 we see that without it everything else in the Christian life does not profit anything. It points out that super faith, the greatest sacrifice, the most spiritually gifted, all knowledge, all of that is nothing without love. After going through the fire of God’s judgment everything you do as a Christian is examined for its love content. The Bible tells us that everyones works will be tried and some people that have built on wood hay and stubble will have nothing left. Some build on gold silver and precious gems and after the fire they have good things left. It says that our God is a fire. I submit to you that fire is love. We see the whole of the Christian life in its extremes judged by love in 1st Corinthians. So if you want your life to have any real meaning you need to live a life of love. Put the focus off everything else and concentrate on this because if you miss this your Christian life will not have any real meaning in the end. Thats tough, it sobering, (so wake up!)

I live by a Christian college and they have lots of people that have lots of knowledge but little love. I used to rent rooms to kids that went to that college and one of them was really highly educated. He would quote Kierkegaard and other authors I didn’t know anything about. I would say God told me this or I had this prayer answer the other day and It would offend him. He knew a lot but I don’t think he knew God. “God is love and those that live in love live in God.” (God is a dwelling place, a shelter, a house, see palms 91) Jesus said you must make your home in my love. You WILL live in some kind of spirit all day and you as Christian can choose which spirit to put on. If you don’t pick out a spirit to live in one will be picked out for you.

In one translation it says “to make love your everyday garment, picked out by your creator for you to wear.” Most people live in their flesh and have spirits telling them what to do and they are not aware of it. We are supposed to walk after the spirit and let God tell us what to do. The spirit that should tell us what to do? God is love it says in 1st john. Thats the spirit we need to obey. It says in the bible to make love your main goal and to live a life of love. DO you live in love? Do you “follow after love”. When you speak does love speak or is it just your flesh? Do feelings come over YOU and tell you what to do or are you living in the spirit and not letting that happen. We were meant to rule spirits not have them rule us. In Christ its possible to be the head and not the tail above and not beneath. Christ kingdom is ruled by love, it has to be since love is God. God is a spirit.

One time many years ago I thought that if I gave love to God he would give love back since whatever I sowed I would reap. I remember by faith giving love to God and making that my focus. I couldn’t feel the love but I did it by faith even though I couldn’t feel it. I was in a house with my family at the time. After about 20 min of this I heard a voice that was louder than anything I had ever heard. It sounded like what a waterfall would sound like if it could talk, it was mixed with what a thunderstorm would sound like if it could talk as well (but more waterfall than thunder). When I say loud I can not even describe how loud it was, it went through everything. It shocked me I thought everyone in the world had heard it. I asked my mom and she had not heard it. It was the most “real” thing I had ever experienced. What did that voice say? It said one word. “WELCOME”. That implies a lot. It said I was accepted. It said I had entered another place. Like a door. To this day when I think of it I get all tingly and the hairs on my neck stand up. It was like everything I had ever known was sub-reality and I had just experienced real reality. There is no way to describe it. Later I wondered if that was really God and asked him to show me if it was. When Jesus was being baptized in the book of John it says that God spoke. Many people thought it was thunder. Also in the bible it says he spoke with a voice that sounded like “many waters”. Gods words are called “living water”. He talks about cleaning us up with the “washing of the water of the word” I believe that love is the door to God’s kingdom. We enter by Christs sacrifice of course, but once we get in that house, well its the house of love.  Other people have told me its faith. I think faith is a product of love not the other way around. The word says faith works by love. I have had faith that failed, I have never had love that failed.

Have you missed the Christian life? Will your life be worth anything when it passes through the fire of God’s love? Is love managing your affairs or other spirits or your flesh? Do you care? really care? All commandments can be summed up in love God with everything, your strength, your soul, your might, everything and love others the same way you do yourself. All the commandments are in love. Love is a commandment you do with your heart. Its the true light that is already shinning that John mentions. It is the more excellent way that Paul points out in 1st Corinthians. So there is a “more excellent way”. You have the love if your a Christian, “the love of God is poured out in our heart through the holy spirit”. God says to us “my son, let your heart keep my commandments”. (you do this) It also says love must be sincere. I hope we think about this and ask God to help us live this way.

I asked God about how to keep this commandment and he said it wasn’t that hard to do and that I was a branch on the vine, not the vine itself. Once you know how much God loves you, you produce love. Not hard, its natural, easy, automatic.  Thinking about how much God really loves you, how much hes forgiven you. It makes a harvest of love. The word says “we love him because he first loved us”. As a friend of mine says “easysauce”.

Remember in revelations it said if you were lukewarm that Jesus would throw you up? It makes him sick so to speak. God told me if I had thoughts or spirits that said God “sort of, kinda loved me” that I should throw them up as well. They should make ya sick , so to speak.  One look at Jesus hand should settle how much he loves us. ( he still has the holes in his hand)

The secret of obedience

You find yourself wanting to obey God but then you find yourself not doing it. Has this ever happened to you? The Bible says his commandments are not grievous. However if your being asked to do things you can’t do or don’t do then there is a problem here. Other forces, urges and wants are greater than what you want you know is right.

To see how this works lets look at two verses. One is

“I can do all things through Christ Jesus who strengthens me.

” The other is Jesus says “without me you can do nothing”.

There it is… Do you see it?

There is only one way to live. Paul writes in the bible

“I die daily”

“put on the lord Jesus Christ and make no provision for the flesh but in love serving one another. ” (love is the summation of God’s law)

“I have been crucified with Christ, I no longer live but Christ lives in me, the life i live in the body I live BY FAITH IN THE SON OF GOD, who loved me and gave himself for me.”

“In my flesh dwells no good thing. “

“Put off the old man with its wants and dishonesty and put on the new man created in the image of him that created him”

“Are you tired? Worn out? Burned out on religion? Come to me. Get away with me and you’ll recover your life. I’ll show you how to take a real rest. Walk with me and work with me—watch how …I do it. Learn the unforced rhythms of grace. I won’t lay anything heavy or ill-fitting on you. Keep company with me and you’ll learn to live freely and lightly.” Matthew 11:28-31 (msg)

as well as take up your cross daily, abide in me, I am the vine your the branches, etc etc…
Obedience doesn’t come from your will power but from trusting Christ. Like a branch makes fruit from drawing from the vine. If you think your doing what God wants you to and your not doing it by trusting Christ then something may be wrong. You trust Christ then do good, not do good first. This goodness comes from somewhere and its not from you. Jesus said “only God is good. “

Its not by might, not by power, but by my spirit says the Lord. This goes into the whole “he’s the vine your the branch thing”. Also you must give up your life to save it. Even these are under the “without me you can do nothing” principle. The whole Christian life is trusting Christ. It’s his power that make it possible.

The bible says we should “take each thought captive to the knowledge of Christ”. That’s closeness. It’s faith in Christ that makes your thinking strait.

In the bible it talks about the kingdom of heaven. Its the kingdom of the air in Greek. The thought life is where all this happens. When you put Christ before your thoughts then he leads. In the bible Jesus says “anyone who is right with me has to let me lead”.

In James it says that a large boat is turned by a little rudder. Its what you (or other spirits) are saying (words) and the words you are agreeing with (assigning them truth) that is steering your life. (words+faith=spirit) Like a steering wheel on a car. Your thoughts are coming to you from outside spirits that rule the atmosphere and from those inner ideas (words) you have already assigned truth to. Jesus wants to be placed before that thought process by faith.

What God has all ready said as truth should be truth in you and every other thought captive to that truth.

The principalities and powers are broadcasting lies and urges all the time. They were meant to rule like this as angels but now they are evil.

(we wrestle not against flesh and blood but against principalities and powers, spirits of wickedness in high places)

We need Christs spirit to make things right. We need a new boss. This new boss only shows up by faith. The old ones push there way in and dictate. (you have urges you can’t control) Christ comes by submission to him in faith. When you trust Christ you activate a law that governs all things. The spirit of life in Christ Jesus makes us free from the viscous cycle of sin and death.  Jesus says in me you will have peace in the world you will have trouble. The transition from this world where there is trouble to his world of peace comes by being transformed by the renewing of your mind. This leads us to doing God’s will instead of what ours. Since as the bible says “only God is good”  his will is good. Your will? well not so much.

You have to trust him. (God’s word) Trusting Christ enacts this “new power”  His power allows you to say NO to those other impulses and the ones that don’t want to obey what you know is right. Trusting Christ moment by moment severs the reins, (turns the steering wheel of your life.)

God says if we trust him we won’t be embarrassed by him. He says he causes us always to triumph in Christ Jesus.

The bible says “the spirits rule”. One by force and one by submission through faith. You are a spirit but you were meant to be acted on by higher spirits and influenced by them. The problem is some are evil and some are good. Jesus sets us right when we become his sheep and follow him. Goats who insist on their own way find themselves the slaves to all kinds of influences and impulses they can’t control. Jesus told me once “sin is too hard for you, you need to trust me to handle it.” Trusting Jesus sets us free to do what is right. It’s HIS power that allows us to live good lives not our own will power. You can’t obey without his help. He is the only one who has the right to say no to the powers that be, the only one who never sinned. Without him you can do nothing.

Jesus says they that those that do right come boldly to God to show that their deeds were wrought in God. the letter of the law brings death, the spirit of the law life. Christ is that spirit. And all the commandments can be summed up in love God with everything and love others as you love yourself. So that’s it. You can do everything with him, and without him you can do nothing. The bible says I can do everything God wants me to do by trusting Christ for the power.

(only God is good, God is love)

about God’s love

Ps 45:11 NLT, “For your royal husband delights in your beauty; honor him, for he is your lord.” The Message, “Now listen, daughter, don’t miss a word: forget your country, put your home behind you. Be here—the king is wild for you. Since he’s your lord, adore him…”

Jesus said he that sins is the servant of sin and he abides not in “the house” forever but a son abides forever. The son lives in the house. We are all sons of God by faith in Christ Jesus. Where is that house?

Sin is the opposite of keeping the commandments and means your not living in the “house”or the dwelling place, a shelter.

Jesus said that if we keep these two commandments we will keep all the commandments meaning we wont sin. (we will live in the house, the dwelling place, the shelter)

1. love God (all your heart mind soul strength) {a heart commandment}

2. love others (as you love yourself) {a heart commandment}

If you keep my commandments you will abide in my love just as I have kept my fathers commandments and abide in his love. (keep these two and you will keep all the commandments)

I then submit to you that living in the house means living in love. Love is that house. The scriptures say that the lord is a dwelling place. The lord is a shelter. (psalms 91) The lord is a house. The lord is a spirit, God is love, God is truth.

Those that live in Love live in God.

The love of God is IN Christ Jesus. How do you get IN Christ Jesus. He that eats my flesh and drinks my blood ABIDES “IN” me. Unless you eat my flesh and drink my blood you have no life in you. Our spirits are alive through righteousness. Jesus is our righteousness. That is your sins are gone because of the blood, meaning you are free of sin and able to live “in the house.” THE DOOR. Your faith in Christs sacrifice makes it real for you, so your sins are gone. Faith is the substance of things unseen. Remember the blood of the lamb put over the door of the Jews while the death angel passed over. The blood keeps bad things from coming in your door. The door to your heart.

Jesus said he was the door of the sheep, The door of  “The house” or “The door” into the kingdom of God.

The kingdom of God is “the house” where the son abides forever. The house is living in God. God is love, those that live in love live in God and God lives IN him.

When we get our sins washed out by faith in the blood, we then trust in Christ to give us the power to obey the commands of God and not sin. “the spirit of life IN Christ Jesus makes me free from the law of sin and death. The continuous TRUSTING makes the POWER work. You can’t live a sin free life without trusting IN him. Jesus said without me you can do nothing. When you trust him it makes all the powers urging you to sin to not be able to move you.  In the Greek sin is sometimes called the evil urge. In the old testament it says the spirits rule. You trade the chaotic world of principalities and powers ruling over you for the head of all principalities and powers. Jesus gives you your new good urges by faith, not by forcing you with uncontrollable urges like the devils kingdom. What is the kingdom we are trying to get into. Its the kingdom of God (God is love) where love motivates and rules. The only way not to sin. The house is the house of love. Jesus says you must make your home in my love.  It says we are made whole and holy, (set apart) by his love.

reminder to self: I need to add the actual scripture references to this)

God has tattooed you on his hand.

all the promises of God are yea and amen in Christ. He has tattooed you too on his hand.

put on the whole armor of God

Put on the whole armor

the steering wheel of your life…

I wanted to remark on a quick thing I learned. The steering wheel of your life is your tongue. Both what you say with your mouth and what you or others say within you. Once believed they become part of you (entering in) James bears this out when he talks about the tongue. He says with a small rudder a large ship is made to move. What you say inside that is believed that counts. The only safe thing is the word of God when spoken in the right spirit which is speaking the truth in Love.

on judgement day would you like mother teressas life record or yours?

On judgment day would you like to have the judgment given to mother Teressa’s life or your life? Most of us would choose the life record from mother Teressa. However if your a christian you have the benefit of receiving someone else life rather than your own. Someone better than mother Teressa. Yes the way this works is If you accept it by faith (faith is the substance)you receive the benefit of Jesus unstained life as your own. Then from that basis God rewards you for the stuff you did with your life. He puts the stuff you did through the fire of love and truth and whatever s left is rewarded. However on the salvation judgment and what you deserve he uses Jesus life for that. A few steps above mother Teressa. Your saved just like Jesus would be saved apart from your works. When you RELY on Jeusu rightousness alone you get peace. Whne you start looking at yourself and your record peace goes away in a never ending up and down argument. Looking to yourself brings trouble. Looking unto Jesus brings peace. (the effect of righteousness is peace, quietness and assurance forever) (he keeps our hearts quiet and at rest AS WE TRUST IN CHRIST JESUS)
So what happened is since we could never give God a perfect performance, God sent in a professional to live for you. He gave a perfect performance, then was treated as if he did everything wrong. So that you who did it wrong could be counted as is you lived a perfect life. This is the foundation you build on.

when a strong man guards his house? who is he, where’s his house

OK Jesus says when a strong man fully armed guards his house it is safe until someone stronger and better armed comes along and takes away his armor where in he trusted. First bind the strong man then you can take away his goods.

Who is this strong man? Jesus says first bind him, how? where is his house that Jesus mentioned?

Well your heart is your house… Jesus could be the strong man or the devil could be the strong man.  Depends on where you are at.

When the devil has your heart. Jesus can break through and take it over. but I am getting ahead of myself.

Lets look at it from my perspective. As a Christian we know that there are forces trying to steal the WORD out our heart. We know the kingdom of God in your heart is made up of Gods words replacing the “truths” currently in there. The forces that come against us are

The cares of this life.

The want of other things.(The decietfull riches of this world)

The cares of this world

The devil.

Trials and tough times.

A hard heart.

Lack of a root of love (roots dont go very deep and the sun comes to burn it up; be “rooted and grounded in love”)

Whats on the other end. The part that comes from God. Love, Truth, Joy. The word. Faith

Ok so we know that the devil comes in to steal, kill or destroy. So well call him the strong man.

How do we bind him. how are we stronger. In the old testament the word says LOVE IS STRONGER THAN DEATH. and also THE JOY OF THE LORD IS OUR STRENGTH.

So love is stronger. Joy comes from love. God causes us to have all joy and peace in believing.

Love is the stronger man. He comes fully armed to take back what the devil stole. He comes in fully armed with the word.  The new testament says speaking the truth in love we may grow up into him.

So love with the word can come take over your heart. Lo ve is stronger than death. Faith works thorugh love.

Miracles? Yes virginia, there is a Jesus “clause”.

Also when we have all kinds of things telling us what the truth is instead of the word of God we become tossed on a sea of all kinds of ideas. Our eye needs to be single. (we live in lie world now, Jesus truth has invaded)

The word of God can tell you your healed even while you feel sick. If you cling to the word of God it will eventually spring up and make you well. If you cling to what your feeling at the time you will never get any better.You have to have something thats greater than your reasoning and your senses to tell you the truth. Gods reality (kingdom) HAS ALLREADY invaded our reality. The Curse has been dealt with and as we belive it God’s kingdom shows up in our lives. The word of God gives us true north. No more double north on our compass. Through faith and patience we then see what God says is true. It changes reality. Jesus demostrated that over and over. Our resoning is not to be trusted, our senses can lie. What God says can happen can happen. Sick people well. A little lunch becomes a feast for thousands. Fishermen walk on water. Dead people live again. A different reality invades what we thoguht was true. All that is here now. Miracles become true. Yes virginia there is a Jesus “clause”.

A compass with 2 norths.

If you had a compass with two north’s on it what would happen? Would you be likely to get to where your going? When we have a heart that loves other things more than God and other things more than other people we have a heart gone wild. There needs to be a true north. Loving God is true north which leads to loving others.When we love other things more than God we become involved in them and miss the purpose for our lives. We begin to ignore others and ignore God.

“Why did God let this happen to me”

“Why did God let this happen to me” or What if God was one of us?

OK so you take a being. We will call him being “A” He only has good thoughts. Never anything evil. This being can believe things into existence. If he believes something is, it will soon be, if he says things are, they are going to be. For instance if he said “let there be light” there is light. Well whatever thoughts run through his head, if believed, would come into being. He calls those things that are not as though they were. He has authority over everything.

Now Hes thinking all the time. Since he thinks good thoughts, good stuff happens. Now, you have another source of thoughts come in. We will call this source of thoughts source “X”. This source of thoughts is bad. Never does this source of thoughts ever think good. This new source starts talking to him. Now being “A” has always thought good, but other bad thoughts are coming to him. However he doesn’t know these are not his thoughts. He thinks all thoughts come from him. He really can’t tell the difference which thoughts are his and which come the external bad source that is not him. Some of the bad thoughts make sense. He starts to believe them. Well since whatever being “A” believes comes into existence then when he believes bad things bad things are happening.

He once believed “let there be light” but now hes believing “its kinda dark”. Maybe its not so light. So that is happening to him. Now it IS kinda dim. Not bright like before. He doesn’t know that he is getting fed thoughts from somewhere else so hes confused. He thinks it all himself. His life is quickly becoming a mixture of both good and bad things because everything he believes is coming to pass and he thinks and believes both good and bad things. The more he believes the bad, the more bad things happen to him. The more bad things happen to him the more he is likely to believe bad things will happen. The more he believes bad things will, err well you get the picture, a vicious downward cycle.

Job 3:25 “For what I fear comes upon me, And what I dread befalls me.

Where have we seen this kind of thing before? Genesis 2:17 but from the tree of the knowledge of good and evil you shall not eat, for in the day that you eat from it you will surely die.”

Does this sound familiar? Since he creates what he believes the knowledge of good, or good thoughts was great for him. When you introduce the bad thoughts (the knowledge of evil) it was bad for him. This being is now in a lot of trouble. Especially since he thinks this all his thoughts are his own. He has heard there is a God, he was told God caused everything to happen. He was told God is in control. That God is the ultimate authority. So he thinks why is God doing all this bad stuff to me. Why? oh ya its cause I’m bad, or maybe God is just mean.

If only there was a source of thoughts that was untainted by evil. Something he could compare and contrast each thought to, something he knew was good and true so that he would be able to ferret out which was good and which was evil and believe only the good stuff.

Proverbs 4:20-22 My son, attend to my words; incline thine ear unto my sayings. Let them not depart from thine eyes; keep them in the midst of thine heart. For they are life unto those that find them, and health to all their flesh.

2 Peter 1:4 King James Bible Whereby are given unto us exceeding great and precious promises: that by these ye might be partakers of the divine nature (God’s output), having escaped the corruption that is in the world through lust (its own wants). But were not like being “A” you might say. What we believe or don’t believe doesn’t come to pass.

Matthew 12:35 (Amplified Bible)35The good man from his inner good treasure ^[a]flings forth good things, and the evil man out of his inner evil storehouse ^[b]flings forth evil things.

But I’m not like being “A”,  being “A” is like God. I’m not in control of what happens, I don’t have that kind of athority. God is in control!

Genesis 1:26-28 26 God said, Let Us [Father, Son, and Holy Spirit] make mankind in Our image, after Our likeness, and let them have complete authority over the fish of the sea, the birds of the air, the [tame] beasts, and over all of the earth, and over everything that creeps upon the earth.^(A) 27 So God created man in His own image, in the image and likeness of God He created him; male and female He created them.^(B)

But belief is not important. It doesn’t matter what I believe.

Matthew 16:19 I will give you the keys of the kingdom of heaven. Whatever you imprison, God will imprison. And whatever you set free, God will set free.”

Mark 11:24 (Amplified Bible)

24For this reason I am
telling you, whatever you ask for in prayer, believe (trust and be
confident) that it is granted to you, and you will [get it].

So you see being “A”s problem is your problem.  Your the door opener, your the door closer. Your the “allow-er”, “the let-ter”  (the letter “A” in this case) you let them happen to you, you stop them from happening to you.

In light of these truths

“Why did God let this happen to me”

becomes one of the stupidest things anyone has ever said.

So we are being “A”. Our authority is still working and not all thoughts are our own. We can make them ours by believing or reject them by disbelieving. And we have this nifty book will truth in it that will help us ferret out both good and evil. Maybe we should pay close attention to the word of God. Oh but wait, there’s episode number 432 of the Brady bunch on TV. I really like this episode! I’ll read the bible later…. And then a month later when something goes wrong you say “why did God let this happen to me”. LOL (this kind of thing happens to all of us) Luke 10:42 and yet only one thing is really necessary. Mary has chosen the good portion and she shall not be deprived of it.” so the word of God is the good thing that is necessary.

Yes Jesus answers prayer today! many examples that will amaze you

http://www.jesusanswersprayer.blogspot.com

God had to have made tickle spots on purpose, more mini revelations on my site at:
http://www.ThingsGodTaughtMe.WordPress.com

The stuff John saw in the book of revelations in pictures today! Its happening now! take a look at: http://www.signsoftheend.blogspot.com

Would you like to be strongly upheld?

The word says God’s eyes are going to and fro about the earth to see whom he might strongly uphold. What does that mean and who is it he can strongly uphold? Well some of the other word give us the clue.

He upholds all things by the word of his power. Its interesting that he doesn’t say the power of his word. No the word is of his power. All things are “upheld” by the word of his power. Getting clearer yet on how you can be upheld?

Another verse says, those who have become a part of God’s family make a habit of sinning because Jesus Christ, God son (the word) holds him securely and the devil can not get his hands on him. Here is the “hold” word again in relationship to the word.

So we see God upholding his word. If you believe in God’s word you will be upheld.  When you put faith in God’s word your giving glory to God.

He meets our needs according to (in direct relation to ) his riches in glory by Christ Jesus (who is the word).

So again we see you give glory to God by sticking to his word, believing it and standing on it and in that direct relation you will be upheld.

God is looking all the time to find someone he can strongly uphold. Will it be you?

In peter it says, God has given us exceedingly great and precious proimises, that by them you might be partakers of the divine nature. (Gods output)

You need get Gods promises in you so you can be strongly upheld and partake in Gods output. I recommend this Promise book. It’s the Jesus person pocket promise book by David Wilkerson.

Guard your heart with all diligence, but how?

This might do better thtough a “mindmap” diagram. However I will color the words so you can make the connections. Take some time to study each colored word and connect it with the other similarly colored words.

The word says guard your heart with all diligence. I was wondering how to do that. Well the word always has the answer. Follow this chain of logic. The bible says “hand of the diligent will bear rule” It says also “he will uphold us with his right hand. We know that Jesus is at the right hand of God. So in this instance we see the word pointing at Jesus. In the old testament we see it says “put me as a seal upon your heart”. This is leading us to see trusting Jesus as the armor of our heart. One verse says They that accept the abundance of grace and the gift of righteousness shall reign in life through the one, though Jesus. We know that Jesus is our righteousness. We also know Jesus is our peace. We are complete or one in him. The word says as you received Jesus, so walk ye in him. So we put on Jesus by faith because that’s how we received him. It says God always causes us to triumph in him. It says take every thought captive to the knowledge we have of Christ. (that knowledge comes through faith)

So guarding our heart means emphasis on the abundance of grace and the gift of righteousness. Your spirit is alive through righteousness. This comes through trusting Jesus and what he has done for us. It is a living thing because as we trust him we act differently, we think differently. New sap is coming into our branch. Instead of trying to be good we trust in Jesus to help us be good. Big difference. Being good by keeping rules leads us to pride and eventually a fall. Being good by drawing form the vine by living trust causes real goodness and sets us free from rules. Trusting Jesus is the end of the law since he became the curse of the law for us. He absorbed the whole rule based relationship into himself so that we can live by trusting him and his power and not by rule keeping.  The word says t0 be animated and motivated by God’s spirit and so escape the compulsions of a legalistic lifestyle. The letter of the law kills, but the spirit gives life.

So we see a thought by thought bringing every thought captive to what God says we are in Jesus, who we are in Jesus. We give weight or glory to what God says we are in Jesus, what it says we have, who it says we are. He is the vine. We are the branches. There is a lot to this but Gods design is that we become one with him, conformed to his image. The way we grew up as children is we were told things, experienced things about who we were and what we could do in life and we believed some things and disbelieved other things and we then became who we are now. Well Jesus says we need to start over at square one like little children, A new birth so to speak. Now we let Who we are in Jesus tell us who we are. We let what God says we can do be our limits. We then become conformed to his image. from thought to thought by his spirit.

There is a lot to this protection Jesus offers.  We know that Jesus is our  righteousness. So we are right with God. We know that Jesus is the word so thats part of our protection. There is a lot to this but to guard your heart is to trust in Jesus. His annointing on us breaks our yoke (to sin and flesh) and sets us free.

The house of love

Jesus says you must remain in my love. God always tells me to stay in the house. The kingdom of God is in Love. Everything outside love is “the outer darkness” Jesus talks about. 

Easy yoke? then why is it hard sometimes?

I was wondering if Christianity is labeled the easy yoke by Jesus why is it hard sometimes? I asked God. 

The long and short of it is when its hard you are not in Gods yoke. Sin is the hard yoke. 

There are a few scriptures that give light on this. 

The way of the transgressor is hard.

Great peace have those who love thy law and nothing for by any means offend them.

We also know that ALL the laws of God are summed up by "thing one, and thing two";. Love your God with all you heart, mind, sould and strength. Love you neigbor as yourself. So that means the yoke Jesus talked about is in that commandment. SO any trouble you are having is linked ot not being in love, either with yourself or with others.

If you are unsettled it is uncomfortable. Its for your own good so that you can turn back to God where its comfortable. Thats why God subjected the world to the curse “in hope.” I thought that was odd. I asked God how that was a good thing. He told me if he left the world all nice and cozy with no curse people would never turn back to him. Sin is supposed ot bring bad stuff. Kind of like a spanking. When you get into sin it gets bad.

 

 God always tells me to “stay in the house”. He says make your home in my love. Its a nice house. It says in psalm 91 if we live there we will remain fixed and stable. In a world like ours we need this kind of shelter The door is Jesus, you are accepted because of him so that you don’t have to wear yourself out trying to “make God like you” and instead focus on Gods gift of love. I was wearing myself out sometimes trying to love God. Sounds strange but if you think of yourself as coming short in our relationship to God there is a constant trying to do more to please him. That’s a hole that can never be filled. Jesus worked to please God so that you can relax. I was wondering about this and God told me "your a branch and not the vine". Meaning you recieve love from God then you produce. If you believe you are not quite right with God you never can recieve and then you can not produce fruit.  

To the root of the problem:

Even though you may outwardly be keeping the law as far as you know you could be violating it on the inside. For Instance It says “take every thought captive to the knowledge of Christ.” This indicates your going to have strange thoughts. I can by faith be trusting Christ in a spirit of love (faith works by love) and I can see thoughts sort of bubbling up from my heart that are bad be automatically killed by Christs anointing. Its hard to explain but I sort of never even “think the thoughts.” They are replaced by truth and never get to the surface. That’s the core of this thing. To have your inside life clean. Once you get thought under control then you can get everything else right. Love orders all things correctly. In 1st corinthians it says “love thinks no evil” A simple fix for your thoughtlife. Lets you see right. Without love all your Christian experience is worthless and will not have any profit left. Love is the consuming fire talked about in the bible. The bible says God is a consuming fire+God is love=Love is a consuming fire. It burns up all the wood hay and stubble and only the good stuff is left.

where there is no wood the fire goes out…

When you take away the devils legal rights , he can’t mess with ya. The bible says where there is no wood the fire goes out. And it also says “he keeps us safe in a shelter safe from the strife of tongues.Trusting Jesus is that shelter. He makes it so that you can have good thoughts. Jesus says he that abides in me produces good fruit. When we trust in Jesus he takes away the worry we had, makes us able to be good people. He said without him we could do nothing. The bible says the just shall walk by faith. Jesus says hes th epath (the way). So trusting in Jesus is the way God wants us to live.  Jesus takes away the strife, makes us peaceful. He said in me you would have peace, in the world you will have tribulation. Inside yourself when yo feel thoughts bubbling up, you can trust Jesus and the bad thoughts wont even come up. His power makes the bad ones not able to reach the surface.

His super will invade your natural. Judge the word of God as super and above your natural and see the supernatural

I was reading where Jesus said he did not come not the world to condemn the world. It said that to those that don’t believe that they are already judged by the word. I was wondering how this works. Well it works by the parable of the sower. When you read something in the word and you don’t believe it then that’s the judgment. You read about salvation and accept it. You read about the gift of the holy spirit and accept it. You read about God healing you already by his stripes, you then check your body’s symptoms and think, hey im not healed. And there it is, Judged. You judged your symptoms as having more weight than what the word said. So in this case yo will never receive your healing even though Jesus all ready paid for your healing. Lets say you feel the symptoms but then give more weight to the word and how you were healed by the stripes on his back. Now you judged Jesus word and his actions as greater than your natural experiences. Now God sees that and the word will eventually remove your natural circumstances.

Then his super is free to invade your natural.

As long as you keep faith pressure on the word then the seed is in the ground and your natural is going to see a green plant rise from it. However look back like lots wife, waver, believe the symptoms and that seed wont grow.  Faith is being certain. Then hold fast your proffession of faith. Through faith and patience recieve the promises. Be careful how you hear, In the same weight or measure you give to the word you hear will be measured back to you.

You read that God promises prosperity to his servants so that he may establish his covenant. You then think about your abilty, maybe you didn’t finish college or whatever, you give that more weight than you do the supernatural God and his promises and there you are judge.

Judge not for in the same manner you judge you will be judged. Give wieght to the super word and soon your natural will change. Give weight to the normal natural instead of the word and you will never see the supernatural. Unless you have faith like a little child you will never see the kingdom of God. So the word is judging you as you judge the word. Thats cause everything was made by the word. We get supplied by his riches in glory (weight) through Christ (anointing) Jesus. So give Gods word weight and it will show up , just like if you plant a seed.

Judge the word of God as super and above your natural and wait and see the supernatural.

Jesus said you must lose yourself in service to find yourself (Mark 8:35),

Jesus said you must lose yourself in service to find yourself (Mark 8:35),

make no provision for the flesh, and a excuse for selfishness,  but in love serving one another.

God mad man in his own image,

God is love

Choose Christ, dont be double minded.

Since the word of God was released it has met opposition. Satan started the whole thing by saying things other than what God said. Those dark words have spread destruction and misery. Today both kingdoms are talking to you. You have the knowledge of both good and evil. Once you believe evil it starts a downward cycle. The evil at work in you darkens your mind and makes it impossible to see correctly.  When you receive truth which is what God says you start to receive life. It begins to clear you up Jesus cleans us up by the washing of the water of the word.

When we give equal weight to both god and evil confusion is the result. There is a mind of your flesh that is selfish and uses reasoning. There is a spirit mind that works by faith. By believing you have the mind of Christ you have it.  When becoming single minded yo need to have sin not present in your reasoning, and the only way that can happen is by faith in the blood. Once you are free from sin by the blood then union with Jesus by faith keeps you in the anointing which breaks your yoke.  (“living in you as you trust in him”)(the annointing {Christ} dwells in your heart by faith) The bible says the mind set on the flesh is death, the mind set on the spirit is life and peace. When you are united with Christ by faith you can think clearly and be free from satans grasp on you mind and free from his urges that he puts in your heart. When you disconnect from walking by faith in Christ then you are subject to  all kinds of ugres, thoughts, pictures that come with force. We must stay with christ by faith to survive and thrive.

It says in Romans that if by the spirit you put to death your flesh you will live, but if you keep following your human nature, (which is influenced by the kingdom of darkness) you are lost and will perish.

So each day we must depend on Christ for life and freedom from our own selfishness and error. You can choose Christ by faith. He comes in by the door. If you don’t choose him by faith the devil and his kingdom will rule you. He wont ask, he comes over the wall.

OS there are many ideas images and urges coming to us all the time, trusting Christ makes us complete.

The bible says the one you obey he will take you. So you are going to choose a master, either Christ or by default the devil.

You got to pick one and let the rest go. Pick one. Only one

Guess who the “whoever” is…

<< Proverbs 17:9 >>

New American Standard Bible (©1995) He who conceals a transgression seeks love, But he who repeats a matter separates intimate friends. GOD’S WORD® Translation (©1995) Whoever forgives an offense seeks love, but whoever keeps bringing up the issue separates the closest of friends. Guess who the “whoever” is… Ever had something you have put under the blood of Jesus keep coming up again? Guess who’s voice that is, well this verse make it obvious that that’s not love bringing it up. This is a chief strategy of the enemy. The bible says that a righteous man meditates day and night on Gods law. Jesus says all the law and the prophets are summed up by love the lord your god with all your heart , mind, soul, and strength, and love your neighbor as yourself. So bringing up a matter over and over is not seeking love which is the heart and summation of the law.

someone wrote me about the blasphemy of the holy spirit.

someone wrote me about the blasphemy of the holy spirit. Although not a fun topic it is a tough one and needs to be addressed. .  I believe everyone wrestles with this one at some time. here is my letter to him.

Hey I am glad you wrote me about this, I KNOW allot about this one since the same thing happened to me.

When you read the word of God it is a revealer of the thoughts and intents of the heart. it mirrors your heart. It shows you what is in there. If something like this has a lot of weight with you and keeps coming up its because there is some fear in YOUR heart. Its showing you what is there. The fear in your heart is alive by faith and lets in the devil. That fear of rejection or falling gives weight to these types of verses. There is a root to it and it may go way down to something that happened in your childhood. You need to find the root of this fear. Ask God he will help. Remember Jesus said whatever weight you give to the truth you hear will be measured back to you. So it is vitally important to get out the fear that is giving this thing life in your heart. Perfected love casts out fear. we might no longer be tossed to and from …but Speaking the truth in love we might grow up into him.

You need love in your heart quick! Without love your like a guy who can’t see without his glasses. “above all put on love”. “only in the darkness is their a danger of a mis-step. The bible says IN THIS is is love, not that we love God but that he first loved us and gave his son as a sacrifice for our sins. In this was love it says. So the first thing is to get covered by Jesus blood by faith. understand the love in that and credit that love towards yourself. Once that happens you will be able to understand correctly without the darkness influencing your thoughts. Notice how heavy and dark the fear is and when you start living in love by faith the darkness lifts. Everything is going to work out right, so lets find the truth about this thing but lets do it in love. Doing it with fear in your heart will only put emphasis on the devils case. Putting love in your heart to start will put emphasis on Gods case. And since God is love why try to do any reasoning about the things of God without God (who is love) being present. When we reason with satan being present (darkness) we give more weight to what the darkness is saying. This IS very important and you should stop and consider this right now and not pass it up as a small thing. The type of spirit you are in will color your understanding and hinder you from finding the truth.

The way I understand it is that the holy spirit is the spirit of truth. When people deny truth they are denying Jesus because Jesus says he is the way the TRUTH, the life. This spirit of truth is present in the world and constantly knocking. Everyone that Goes to hell goes to hell for this sin in some manner. I know that’s saying a lot. You have to cross over the truth when you sin in any way.  I believe its true. Satan’s judgment was that he abode not in the truth because there was no truth in him. It would make sense that his children would have no truth in them. There is the real spirit of truth, and there is a counterfeit. Jesus said, I have come from the truth and you know him not. Satan passes himself of as God, or truth. Jesus also said the world isn’t looking for truth. They stay away from it. The guy that said Jesus miracles came from the devil was not living in truth. The bible equates not living in the truth with murder. (he abode not in the truth, he was a murderer from the beginning.) Since God is truth and faith is the substance of all things when you separate yourself from truth you are giving faith to a lie. Since faith is substance your giving substance to a lie when you believe lies. A lie is the counter to God who is truth. Lies are separate from truth and God will separate all of them from himself (who is truth). Lies strike at the very fabric of the substance of all things when given faith. That’s a little weird I know but its true. Lies when given life through faith destroy what is true. That’s murder, death destruction. God puts faith in what he says and it equals existence, your in the image of God and you work the same way. Anything God created through words and faith like Light, and the universe itself does not decide weather or not to believe in Gods words and exist, but you do. You can choose to believe truth and have life, or believe lies and have death. Separation from God (truth) is death. Everything he spoke and created will survive forever, all the things lies spoke and made (existing by faith) will someday be burned up. God (truth) spoke his words and everything came in to existence. The devil started speaking evil, that is something against what God said (truth) and started destruction, or evil. Everything that exists is there by the faith of God, Since you know good and evil both you can believe either. Believing evil makes you not have substance in Gods kingdom since you are believing (Giving substance to) lies. Believing God makes you to be believing good. God will keep all the good for this universe forever but will destroy all the evil. Believing evil makes you one with evil. Believing in Christ make you a Christian.

Belief is powerful. Faith is the substance of this not seen. Everything was made by faith.

The guy who said Jesus was doing miracles by the devils power was believing lies, and was against the spirit of truth that told him the exact opposite. Truth was speaking to him too. He was not listening to truth, but to the spirit that operates in the disobedient as the bible says. Not believing the truth (Jesus gods word) is the eternal sin. Saying its a lie is siding with satan the fake “truth”. It makes you side with the destroyer of truth, makes you a murderer.  Everyone goes to hell for denying the truth. the bible says this is the judgment that came into the world that they did not believe in the son of God. Jesus =truth Jesus =Gods word.

I know Pat Robertson wrote about his battle with this. He had said tongues were of the devil and then later recanted. Another preacher Billy brim had the same experience. So we see examples of people that “technically” committed that sin and yet are still Christians and have good fruit. By their fruit you shall know them. So maybe there is something not so legalistic about this sin. The letter of the law kills but the spirit gives life.

Lets look at what a translation of the bible called “the message” says about it.

Matthew 12:31 MSG • Read this chapter
“There’s nothing done or said that can’t be forgiven. But if you deliberately persist in your slanders against God’s Spirit, you are repudiating the very One who forgives. If you reject the Son of Man out of some misunderstanding, the Holy Spirit can forgive you, but when you reject the Holy Spirit, you’re sawing off the branch on which you’re sitting, severing by your own perversity all connection with the One who forgives.

Mark 3:28 MSG • Read this chapter
“Listen to this carefully. I’m warning you. There’s nothing done or said that can’t be forgiven. But if you persist in your slanders against God’s Holy Spirit, you are repudiating the very One who forgives, sawing off the branch on which you’re sitting, severing by your own perversity all connection with the One who forgives.” He gave this warning because they were accusing him of being in league with Evil.

So in this translation it is not so much as a one time event or sin but a overall siding with lies instead of truth. Side with the truth about Gods love so you can see, get your brain (thinking) working right by believing in the blood. Once you are free from sin you can reason correctly. Now speaking the truth IN LOVE grow up into him. He doesn’t want to find some reason to reject you in fact he said he would never never reject those who come to him. Don’t reject truth and you can only correctly see truth while in love. The light came into the world but the darkness did not comprehend it.

I hope this helps some. There can only be one truth to this. If the understanding you have about this comes forcefully with fear, you can be sure that’s the kingdom of darkness speaking. Especially if its persistant and annoying. Dark and heavy. That’s death, that’s the devil. That’s how he talks, he comes over the wall of the sheep pen. He does not knock, he is forceful, pushy, angry and fearful. So if the case that you HAVE committed this sin comes to you in THIS way, you can be sure that it’s from the devil because that’s how the devil talks. God does not talk this way, (see below) And since you can now BE SURE its the devil trying to make this case you can also be 100% sure its a lie because the devil can not tell the truth because Jesus himself said “their is no truth in him”. He has to be telling a lie.
If it comes with love and peace its from God. He only comes through the door, he asks, he knocks, he’s polite. He leads his people with peace. He leads you by the STILL waters, (calm thoughts) he leads you to GREEN pastures.  (live food)

You might read about my prayer answers on the blog below.

how to NOT be a spiritual idiot.

It says that in the bible God made two men into one when he sent Christ.

By belief in the sacrifice of Christ the “power” of sin is defeated. This allows you to be free from its influence. Living in that spirit allows you to do the right thing. Sin is only empowered when it is a living thing. Faith in Jesus blood makes it dead, since Jesus paid for it. Once Jesus sacrifice is alive in you through faith, by just believing it, it makes sin dead in you. Sin is a spiritual thing, the law of the SPIRIT of life in christ Jesus makes us free from the power of the law of sin and death. Trusting Jesus is the only rightousness there is. By faith his sacrifice is credited to you and stops sin from making you a spiritual idiot. When sin is operating in your life you can’t think right , just like adam lost his mind after the fall and blamed eve and God in one sentance. Sin makes you a spiritual moron. Christs’ blood makes you think strait. Makes you sane. You can’t think right with sin active in your life.

stability, quiet, rest, identity

Ephesians 4:14, 15 Weymouth New Testament

So we shall no longer be babes nor shall we resemble mariners tossed on the waves and carried about with every changing wind of doctrine according to men’s cleverness and unscrupulous cunning, making use of every shifting device to mislead.
But we shall lovingly hold to the truth, (speaking truth in love) and shall in all respects grow up into union with Him who is our Head, even Christ.

it,s the supreme art of the devil that he can make a law of the gospel, another great luther quote

It’s the supreme art of the devil that he can make the law out of the gospel. If I can hold on to the distinction between law and gospel, I can say to him any and every time that he should kiss my backside. … Once I debate about what I have done and left undone, I am finished. But if I reply on the basis of the gospel, “The forgiveness of sins covers it all,” I have won.

A way I have learned to diffuse religion is by a verse that says that all the laws of God are summed up in love God and then love others. Sometimes Our flesh may rebel against Gods directives or through fear we might make Gods grace into a law that is oppressive. For instance Jesus says we must take up our cross daily. Well that command has to be some derivative of love God and love others. It makes it joyful when love is involved. The joy of the lord is our strength.

from a blog I read some stuff on

http://isaiah543.wordpress.com/2008/05/29/another-great-luther-quote/

What the heck is grace and how big is it exactly?

I was sitting on the rocking on the chair out on my porch the Lord told me. You know what Jesus did? he was innocent and got put to death. How much money would make that right? Then i thought 1000$, no a million, no a trillion? how about all the money that ever was? no amount of money could make it right. Now how much effort would compensate for that injustice? a weeks worth of work? how bout a months? how bout a lifetime of effort? would that make it right? How about two peoples lifetime of work? how about a millions peoples work? would that make it OK? How about everyone that ever lived? how about their effort? Would that make it right? NO it would never work.. there is no amount of effort. Well that enormous, unpayable debt. The immensity of it, its sum, how it can never be paid for or worked off. The sum of all that is the grace available to us through trusting Jesus Christ. That’s a lot. Its holy, if you think about its depth it will bless ya.

<< Romans 5:17 >>

Bible in Basic English
For, if by the wrongdoing of one, death was ruling through the one, much more will those to whom has come the wealth of grace and the giving of righteousness, be ruling in life through the one, even Jesus Christ.

Here it is in the words of the great Scot Robert Haldane, “Many Christians are afraid to give the scriptural language on this subject the full extent of its meaning; and instead of representing themselves as…perfectly righteous by the righteousness of the Son of God, they look on their justification as merely an accounting of them as righteous while they are not so in reality. They think that God mercifully looks on them in a light which is more favourable than the strictness of truth would warrant. But the Scriptures represent believers as truly righteous, possessing a righteousness fully answerable to all the demands of the law.”

baby fish swim, baby birds soon fly, what are we?

Should this baby eagle someday fly? God told me this, if a baby fish swam, you would not think it weird. If a baby bird grew wings one day and flew it would be perfectly normal. What are humans? We were made in Gods image. What does God do? he speaks those things that are not as though they were.  What would Gods children look like. What would they do? Would they be above natural law like a birds wings make them able to rise above the law of gravity? Would a fish be shy about swimming? would a bird be shy about flying? Would a child of God be shy about believing things before they are seen? think about that…

God man man in his own image. God is love. God is truth.if he works hard he might be as his master…What did Jesus do?

John Chapter 10, verses 30-36 (KJV)
10:30 I and [my] Father are one.
10:31 Then the Jews took up stones again to stone him.
10:32 Jesus answered them, Many good works have I shewed you from my Father; for which of those works do ye stone me?
10:33 The Jews answered him, saying, For a good work we stone thee not; but for blasphemy; and because that thou, being a man, makest thyself God.
10:34 Jesus answered them, Is it not written in your law, I said, Ye are gods?
10:35 If he called them gods, unto whom the word of God came, (thats you and me!) and the scripture cannot be broken;
10:36 Say ye of him, whom the Father hath sanctified, and sent into the world, Thou blasphemest; because I said, I am the Son of God?

The King James Version of the Bible has “the” in italics before “Son of God” in verse 36. This is not for emphasis as some may think, but shows words interpolated by the translators. In this case, they were mistaken. The original Greek does NOT have an article before “Son of God,” which in Greek is equivalent to having an indefinite article. In the original Greek of this scripture, Jesus did NOT say he is the Son of God; he said I am a Son of God. He also quoted Psalm 82 that says “Ye are gods.”

So we should be love, we should believe things before we see them. Calling those things as though they were not as though they were. Baby fish should someday swim. Baby birds should some day fly. We are to be the head and not the tale. Above only and not beneath. Believe first, see later.

<< Ephesians 4:14 >>

That we henceforth be no more children, tossed to and fro, and carried about with every wind of doctrine, by the sleight of men, and cunning craftiness, whereby they lie in wait to deceive; but speaking the truth in love we might grow up into him, who is the head

Read the word, Don’t be a fool!

someone wrote me asking how to get rid of fear. Perfected love casts out all fear

The word of God says perfected love casts out fear.

So you need to go after perfected love.

The way to do this is to give more weight to Gods words than to the enemies words or your own reasoning. especially about love in this case. God has allready given us what we need through his promises.

If we give weight to something we give it “glory” God meets our needs in direct relation to the riches of glory in Christ Jesus So we need to give Gods words weight. We also need to give the enemies words no weight.

Abraham strengthened his own faith by “considering not” his own body or that of Sara’s, but only God’s promise.

This Gives glory (weight) to God. God makes things by speaking believing, and since Abraham believed God then God was able to move.

Their is a spirit of fear that can be ordered off of you do to your authority in Christ. I have held to a scripture verse and gotten fear off me completely.

I once had a spirit say he was going to kill me and felt a overwhelming fear as he said it. I replied that God promised in his word to protect me and keep me from the evil one. After r holding OT my side for awhile I finally said, God says he will protect me, you say you are going to kill me. So go ahead kill me , if you can. After a while I started to mock him with it. He promptly left .

God has a revelation on this tailored completely for you , Ask God to reveal it to you and give him some faith to work with and he will get that revelation to you.

I am testing a theroy of mine. SO dont pay any attention to this post

biblical mathmatics

Since God is super logical his word can be thought of as logical as well. ITs almost like a math problem

Here is example of how this works

We=sinners we =sin, Jesus was made sin for us so we(no longer equal to) sin thorugh Christ

We=Sin,

Jesus=Sin

But Jesus=Good

If then we make Jesus=Sin

then we can make We=Good             w=S J=G but we change J=S then W=G when J+W occurs

Here is another.

You are a like a tree

Jesus said make a tree good or make it evil (dual,duo, 2 knowledge of good and evil made this occur)

SO we make Tree=Good   (T=G)

Only God is Good. God is LOVE therefore to make a tree good you have to make a tree love.

Only God=Good (Gd+G) and GOd=Love  (Gd=L) SO to make T=G we need to make T=L

So to make you good you have to be love. How do you become love?

The love of God is in Christ Jesus. How do you get in Christ Jesus? I see two ways, he that eats my flesh and drinks my blood abides in me, and speaking the truth in love we grow up into him.

So by accepting Jesus Death we are in Christ we+(Jesus Death)=We In HIm also By We+(Truth In Love)

The bible says we are made whole (no longer duo, evil, 2) and holy (set apart) by his love.

We are complete in him.

Here’s some more If your eye ius single your whole boday is full of light. God is Light, God is love, There fore make your eye love and you will have light inside. 1 corithinas 13 says now we see through a glass darkly but then face to face. I believe the dark glass is out heart. Love is the corrective lense. Jesus said a loveless world is a sightless world, and the light came into the world but the darkness comprehended it not.

he was a murderer from the beggining because he abode not in the truth

I thought I would write this down. I was asking God what not abiding in the truth and murder have in common. The way this works is since faith is the substance of things not seen, then lies destroy things. Lies say something that is is not. When you believe something it goes into your heart, believing is the door. Jesus said he comes in through the door and everyone that tries to go around the door is a theif and a robber. Those thoughts you get that go against faith and are so persistant are examples. So when you believe a lie it goes against truth and destroys it. Since faith is the basis of all matter lies are dangerous. Satan’s lies were there to try to “kill” God. So God threw him out of heaven. Now he is here in our atmosphere and he uses the same tactics to try destroy here as in heaven. Since you are in the image of God he will use lies against you just like he did God. Abiding not in the truth is a step into drakness. Lies are all  he has to work with. They are powerfull here since you are in the image of God. He might mix them with feelings or facts but if it goes against Gods words and Gods will it needs to be resisted. (see armor of God) The first part of the armor is TRUTH. Once we discover the truth we have to hold to that and not waver, and thus not be destroyed or harmed. The way not to waver is not to consider anything else just like abraham. Also like Sara we consider him faithful who promised. Then we have a single eye that Jesus talked about and we give more weight (glory) to who God is and what he can do than to our reasonings, logic, symptoms, feelings and what we call “reality”. Our needs are supplied according to his riches in glory (weight). Like jesus said “as your faith so be it done unto you.” Also he said be carefull how you hear because with the same measure you hear it will be measured back to you. SO we see with a murderer like this on the loose we need to take every thought captive just as the bible says to.

Since God is the author of reality he can do anything with it that he wishes. So every other thing is irrelavent when God is in the mix. If you look at the bible God is always trying to get us to believe him and his superiority over circumstances. He shows over and over that what we call “reality” is not relavent when faith in God is applied. This seems to be the central lesson of faith.

This is interesting because Gods kingdom has come to earth already.. The word of God when believed contrary to present circumstances will with faith and patience change our current reality.  Through believing what God says all of our current reality can be changed to the way it is in heaven. Thats the kingdom of God. Its here now. Outer darkness and all that stuff is here now. Jesus is the door into it and then we go from faith ot faith, from glory to glory (weight to weight). We start shifting the weight of our beliefs from having circumstances, symptoms and the world at large dominating us to giving Gods word weight and then dominating the world. Being the head and not the tail.

invited to the feast

you remember reading about how Jesus said that the kingdom of God was like a king who put on a feast and invited people. Some people made excuses. So God told the servants to invite anyone they could find. Then later he killed those who insulted him. I used to think this was about going to heaven. I still think it is but Jesus kept saying the kingdom of God is here now. When you look at it that way lets see what we get. If God is inviting us to a feast right now. Others are too busy but we respond to the invitation. Jesus slain is the fatted calf. We are feasting on the righteousness provided.

Now I notice that when I need to I can trust in Jesus to be a better person. Instead of being angry I can trust in Jesus and be a nice person right away when I need it. Or I can trust Jesus and resist temptation. I know from experience God wants me to live a life of trusting Jesus all the time instead of just trusting him when things get tough. This makes me like Jesus all the time and helps me to be conformed to his image, which is Gods plan for me. So now at the banquet I have the fatted calf and the fruits of the spirit. Now that’s a party. So In this parable we are participating in the feast now. This is fitting because Jesus was always saying the kingdom of God is here now. So instead of just doing what I am interested in or acting how I feel at the time I Trust in Jesus and get to his interests and act the way he would. This is the kingdom of God instead of me being king.

Im the Juggernaut

God watches after his word to perform it.

When you plant Gods word in your heart by faith and don’t let it go it will come to pass. All of God’s power is behind it. It’s coming ask long as it has faith as its life. God watches over it to make it come to pass. Not you. The word says that even faith is not from yourself but from God. So once started its all God. The only thing that could possible stop it is for you to look back like lots wife. See it done and don’t come off of it and then God is responsible for it.

Make his thought like your thought. Make it yours, its guaranteed to produce. It can not fail. IT will drill down to your innermost being, all of creation will get behind it, angels will hearken to perform it. Gods words alive in your heart through faith will have a life far beyond what you can give it. All of the universe is committed to make it come to pass.

A mighty fortress, the red pill

The righteous is a everlasting foundation.

Jesus life is the rock of ages. For ever and ever your foundation. His perfect performance creates a mighty fortress to build your relationship to God on. Through faith It is immune from your worst failures, and separate from your most pious acts. Totally separate from you. Its the only way you can relate to God. Bring him anything else and it will be a ishmeal, a cain vegetable offering. This way is fair, it makes every man on equal basis with even the most diligent mother Teresa. It is a mighty fortress, a everlasting foundation. The blood is the red pill. It frees you from the prison of your mind.

Making a devil free Environment

The word says give the devil no place. Place? how does he have place? Well he is the prince and power of the air, the breath, the spirit of the age. Well if your a Christian he has to have your co-operation but you can shut him down.

In Romans 6, 7, and 8 we see the power that God uses to get the devil out of your life. Trusting Christ on a moment by moment is the anointing which breaks the yoke. Christ is not just a idea but a real “power.”

The devil wants to reign by getting people to give him the weight of truth. There is a real spirit of truth and it is different from the spirit of “truth” that rules the world. The fake truth comes behind silly ideas like “evolution” to give them weight. He tires to convince you with spiritual weight or force. For instance, if someone told you you would never amount to something that may be lodged in your heart. It may be backed up by a feeling or reasons. It should be replaced by what faith in what God says “I am God’s workmanship (in the geek workmanship says “poem”) created in Christ Jesus for good works.” And “I am accepted in the beloved.” Give weight to that by faith despite the past or what you feel like. To believe what anyone else says about you is to give that the weight of “truth”. You have to listen to him and give weight to HIS words. Jesus said be careful how you hear because with the same measure that you hear will be measured back to you. HE meets our needs according to his riches in glory (weight) through Christ Jesus. The anointed word of God mixed with faith.

The devil is all around you in thoughts, pictures, feelings (or spirit). The word needs to be your shielding and place of truth between you and thoughts that come in from the atmosphere. In Peter it says “an idle mind is a devils workshop.” Keeping you mind occupied keeps him out. Meditating is good for this which in the Hebrew means “chew the cud”. Another is making melody in your heart to the Lord.
2. Obedience, “the one you yield yourself to obey he will be your master. The bible says “the spirits rule”. Spirits rule you. Those urges that come from your body, the impulses to act quickly in anger. There needs to be faith in Jesus between you and your actions. In the message translation it says that anyone right with me has to let me lead. By letting Gods spirit motivate and animate you by faith you start producing the gifts of the spirit. Love, joy, peace, long suffering, meekness, kindness, faith, goodness. In the Greek it says one of the fruits is “usefulness”. Giving yourself over to Christ puts to death your old man. It says that “those that be Christs have crucified their flesh and the wants and affections thereof. This is one of the reasons I think the Holy Spirit led Jesus to fast before starting ministry. It kind of takes the driving wheel away from the flesh and gives it to Jesus.

Diaries of a Christian Girl: Hating the Bible

This is a response to a posting called

Diaries of a Christian Girl: Hating the Bible

Wow, you know this might help. First to get you in a good mood I asked god to tell me about his character, he told me to think long on this, “he made tickle spots on children on purpose”. (i have more stuff like this on my blog http://thingsgodtaughtme.wordpress.com ) The letter of the law kills but the spirit of the law gives life. Love is the spirit of the law. Knowledge puffs up but love edifies. In fact all knowledge without love is worthless.(see 1st corinthians 13) How much love do you feel in that classroom? Whats the spirit in there? Also I see a trend in bible colledges. My brother went to east texas baptist and used to believe the bible but after bible classes he came back to me saying this really came later, this was added, this is not supopsed to be in there etc. etc. I said wait a min. Either God is God and he can get us a decent bible or hes no God at all. It is the height of ignorance to profess in a awesome God liek we have and then to put yourself in judgement of his work and pick it apart. Everyone who has ever or will ever come against the word will eventually be shown to be foolish. God is God. Also think about it if you were the devil wouldn’t you put your evil annointing and efforts into bible schools to tear up simple believing folk before they spread there faith. If i were the devil I would try to get love out and make it clinical in there almost boring. Thats what the devil is doing , your wrestling against spirits. (loves the answer he never fails, it says to always wear love never be without it. Jesus said God reveled the scripture to people that have hearts as trusting as children and keeping the understanding from those who think themselves so wise. Does your professor have a heart like that? It sounds like you do. I would not take as gospel truth from anyone who does not have this kind of heart. The light came into the world but the darkness did not understand it. God always tells me to stay in the light (young padewan) he jokes with me a lot.

oh ya and another thing that helps burnout.

David was burned out in the bible and he went over all the things that he knew about God.

This helped him overocome since the joy of the lord is his strength.

I have a whole list like this with pictures.

I also use my blog Thingsgodtaughtme.wordpress.com to go over the items he has taught me.

In the bible the way to get picked up is to remeber what Jesus went through step by step and he never gave up.

lawyer needed

Why did you do this to me God?

I read a post on a blog at this link

http://ready-aim-fire.blogspot.com/2007/11/youre-not-being-fair-god.html

From scripture I can show you God is not your problem and that he does not control everythign down here yet. Since “faith is the substance” God can not help without it even if he wanted to. In isaiah it says fear terror and oppression will gather together but not by me says the lord. Your problems come to you not from God but from the other side in hopes that you will get mad or frustrated and get offended at God and fall away. God does not make all the little things happen. I asked him about this and he told me that man and devils are incharge of most of the earth.

He said how about child abuse? do you think I have anything to do with that?

He deligated athority. He sacrified his own son, it was god in Jesus actually, and then left the provision in his words. Peter says “That by these you might be partakers of his divine nature (output in greek) and that he has all ready provided all we need. They are wrapped up in his promises which to the natural mind are meager, but all things were made through his word so its no somall provision. When we fell we got a heart of both good and evil. This really messed us up since we need real faith to recieve from god and our heart was “whishy washy”. First realize from scripture God didn’t bring the terror, opression etc. Then realize He has provided a way out through his blood and promises. Stand against the curse that Jesus bore for you by faith. There is simply no other way out. Take a look at my blog for more stuff like this is you want. Thingsgodtaughtme.wordpress.com

Freed from the curse of the law

Jesus bore the curse for us. By faith we receive the blessing and by faith we resist the curse. We stay in Gods protection by faith and obeying all the commands which are summed up by 1.  love God with all our heart mind soul and strength, and 2 lvong our neighbor as our self.

If any of these have come upon you, make sure you haven’t violated commandment 1 & 2.

Take advantage of the blood, repent and then resist the thing Jesus blood bore for you.

All Ga 3:13 -
Christ hath redeemed us from the curse of the law, being made a curse for us: for it is written, Cursed is every one that hangeth on a tree:
We must:
obey Gods commandments they are all summed up in love the lord with all your heart soul mind and strength and loving others as ourselves.
Heeding diligently the voice of our God
Keep the law and fear the name of the glorious God
SERVING THE LORD WITH JOY FULLNESS OF MIND AND HEART IN GRATITUDE for the abundance of all things which he has blessed us with
Take heed not to be deceived (know the truth)
Resist by faith anything Jesus redeemed us from:

Blessings:
listen diligently
Keep his commandments (1 & 2) walk in his ways (walk in love)
high above all nations
blessings will overtake if you heed
blessed in the city blessed in the field
blessed fruit of the body
fruit of the ground (our labor)
cattle
basket and kneading trough
when we come in and when we go out

All this has been bought through our faith in Jesus. When any of this stuff shows up we are resist it through faith in what Jesus has done.

He only shoots the live ones.

heard a story the other day about a person before the civil war days that had a slave. he was out with the slave and was shooting ducks. He asked the slave if your God is so good why do you have so many troubles. I don’t believe in him and I have hardly any troubles. The slave prayed about it and then said “you don’t shoot at the ducks you have all ready bagged.

Jesus Promised us persecution for our belief in him. The devil and the world will come ofter you especially if your on the right track. That gets left out of a lot of teachings these days. Psalms 91 says when we trust in him he will save us from the snare of the fowler…

equal weight?

mark 24 amplified

And He said to them, Be careful what you are hearing. The measure ^[a][of thought and study] you give [to ^[b]the truth you hear] will be the measure ^[c][of virtue and knowledge] that comes back to you–and more [besides] will be given to you who hear.

The same All the scriptures go by the law of weight. I looked up glory one time and it said it was “weight” Since the bible provides a way to discene your heart it acts like a mirror. For instance if you have sin active in your heart or fear certain verses when you read them will have fear attached to them. They will in that spirit have more weight that other verses and will act to destroy not to help. However if you have love toward God in your heart and you read a verse it might have the weight of love that your heart has in it and act as life to you. Whatever is in your heart will mix with the verses to return to you. The way to read the bible correctly is with the spirit of love and truth. “speaking the truth in love we might grow up into him.” We need to have love and truth when we read the scriptures so that we wil have a heart that is being conformed to his image rather than just reflecting what we all ready have in there.

When A scripture is bothering you it is pointing out something wrong in your heart. Make sure you give equal weight to the other verses about mercy and love. “through mercy, truth and love is a heart changed.”

devil logic

When Adam sinned his logic was messed up. he could not think right. He blamed God for his sin. Sin does that. It makes you a instant spiritual idiot. We can’t trust our thoughts when we are in sin. We need to renew our mind and be cleaned up by Jesus blood in order to think right.

“Alex”message translation the brance upon which

My son david got a three wheel trike thing and he was riding around the yard with it. We got it at goodwill. It had a little licencse plate that said “alex” on it. I was thinking to myself , thats kinda bad hes got a bike with some other kids license plate on it, I need to take that off. (grump, grump) Then God said to me, you do know that “alexander” is davids middle name. I was like “wow, I forgot all about that, duh!”. See Gods always at work even in the little things. Darkness is bad. If we walk in the light (faith working by love) more we won’t miss these little things.

theres something there to steal

I was praying about something and afterwards as I was beliveing for it I was harassed. I would just be sitting there and thoughts would come like “thats not going to happen”. They kept comming and comming. I was annoyed I finnaly asked God why am I getting thoughts like this so persistently. God said becasue “theres something there to steal”. When we pray and believe God its GOING to happen. The unseen rascals that rule this world go to work to steal what is about to happen while its still a seed. The reason they are harrasing you is because there is something REAL there to steal. If satans harrasing you about a prayer you prayed, or weather or not your saved, or if God loves you, or telling you your kids are going to go bad or whatever its because there is something there to steal. All he needs to do to steal it is have you agree with him about it and thats it, its stolen.

Rightousness has come upon all men.

the bible says righteousness has come upon all men. It also says with the heart a man belives unto righteousness. Its like when Someone puts out a tray of cookies at home. Everyone can have a cookie but not everyone does. Take and eat

.

It is finished

when a roman prisoner was in jail there was a written log of all his offenses nailed to the cell. When he was released they took that list down and rolled it up and wrote on the outside “it is finished”.

This is what jesus said at the cross. He was speaking of our sins

Study of Jesus is the way the truth the life

its interesting to do a study on Jesus is the way the truth the life.

Jesus is the way:

the way  means the path,

Here’s some interesting definitions from the dictionary, Dictionary.com Unabridged (v 1.1)

3.a method, plan, or means for attaining a goal:  5.a direction 8.a path or course leading from one place to another: 10.a road, route, passage, or channel 13.space for passing or advancing: 18.a course of life, action, or experience: b.movement or passage through the water. a.to yield to: a.to go along a course in advance of others, as a guide. a.to allow to pass;

Paul said he would “die daily” and that he was crucified with Christ. In the bible it says put on Christ. It is saying yield to his leading and spirit by trusting him. You are already yielding to some spiritual power, everyone is. The bible is saying we yield to Christ as our leading spirit. “the life I live in the body I live by faith in the son of God. The bible says “the spirits rule”. Trusting Christ lets him rule instead of some random spirit. Its done by faith. This enacts the law of the spirit of life in Christ Jesus.

the truth:

5.actuality or actual existence. 4.the state or character of being true. 3.a verified or indisputable fact, proposition, principle, or the like: mathematical truths. 2.conformity with fact or reality; verity: the truth of a statement. In the message translation it hints that Christ is your true self. The self you were created to be before the fall. Put off the old man and put on the new man created in the image of him who created him. This leads us to a life of trusting Christ which enacts the law of the spirit of life in Christ Jesus, Jesus kills your old man since he put it to death on the cross. This eventually leads us to a life of love above all else since God is love and Jesus is the express image of the father. Jesus said to make our home in his love. Its where we are supposed to live. Remember though you are a branch and not a vine. you must receive the love before you give it back out.

The life

1.the condition that distinguishes live organisms from inorganic objects and dead organisms,

3.the animate existence or period of animate existence of an individual:

4.a corresponding state, existence, or principle of existence conceived of as belonging to the soul:

8.a living being:

13.animation; liveliness; spirit:

14.resilience; elasticity.

18.a prison sentence covering the remaining portion of the offender’s animate existence:

15.the force that makes or keeps something alive; the vivifying or quickening principle:

20.a person or thing that enlivens:

21.effervescence or sparkle, as of wines.

27.of or pertaining to animate existence:

your spirit is alive through righteousness. Jesus is the only righteousness there is. Unless you eat my flesh and drink my blood you have no life in you. He that eats my flesh and drinks my blood abides in me. So we see that receiving the righteousness is the priority. Seek ye first the kingdom of god (Gods rule) and his righteousness. His righteousness comes from trusting him to live his life in you. It comes from believing the righteousness is true for you and has wiped out your sins. This makes your past sins dead since they are only “Alive” in you by your faith anyway. The fact that Jesus died and made you the righteousness of God is above the past sins you did. He that takes refuge “in him” is freely pardoned.

Jesus rightousness is the only rightousness there is

if You find yourself going over your faults or your successes its nice to remind yourself that Jesus blood is the ONLY rightousness that there is. Your works or faults don’t come into yoru right standing with God If they did you could be justified by the law or your won works. The word clearly says that by the works of the law shall no flesh be justified. God judged sin in the flesh. That was the part of man that betrayed God in the garden. Relying on Jesus is the only rightousness. Its seperate from you. You can’t get in there to muck it up or make it worse. It’s the only rightstanding with God. Thats comforting.

do you read this blog?

do i have any regular readers? if so please post a comment here about the blog. Just wanting to know whos out there. Tim

letter to a reader

someone who reads my blog wrote me and I wrote him back, you might be interested in it.

You know I have had a problem with anger especially with raising three kids, If you read some more of my blog posts it talks about this. I have found the anointing breaks the yoke works. I trust Christ right then to make me a better dad. He never lets me down but helps and makes me instantly nicer. I found out that God wants me to live in that kind of trust all the time instead of just in tough spots. This leads to a life of love. Trusting God in this way leads to a kind of “light”. I don’t know how to explain that but you are kind of lit up on the inside. Through many trials I have found the way into the light is trusting the blood of Christ. When I do that and am real with that trust I get instant peace. It says in the bible that we should seek the kingdom of god first and his righteousness. When Jesus was here he told us the kingdom of God is here now. I have found out what he meant by this and all his parables are about it. Most people think its about later after they die but no its here now. Outer darkness is here now. Torment and peace are both here now. We enter in by his righteousness and we stay in by walking in love and being righteous. I have found through trail and error that the only way to walk in this is through constant trusting in Christ. You know like a branch. I have to depend on him for everything and he makes my life more useful and peaceful. I am constantly aware of his presence and am always waiting to here what he wants me to do so that I will not be doing my own will but his. I admit I have fallen down in this sometimes and it has caused me a lot of grief. Not because of God but because the enemy is wanting to get me out of Christ so he can mess with me. A lot of this has been strange. But I find Christ welcomes me back when I fall if I come through the blood alone and not my own works. Then I wait on his strength and his leading. He is the  “sap” of my life and when I am not walking with him I dry up.  Thank God for forgiveness. I am amazed at what a interesting personality he is. He plays with me and jokes and talks to me in plain language. He even imitated a actor named Owen Wilson once when he was joking with me. I was watching a history channel deal and saw that some people say God is a cow. I said God some people say your a cow. He answered immediately and said that’s udderly ridiculous. When I go into wal mart he puts a “special” light on those wal mart happy faces and the other day I went around a isle and a walmart happy face balloon was right in my path. He would teach me sometimes by commercials. It says the spiritual man sees meaning in everything. They used to have these sprint commercials where they would throw a dime at someone and his life would instantly change. I was talking to the lord and he said that was like faith in him. It changes everything and you don’t need but a little bit to get it going since then I find dimes in all kinds of weird places. I bet I have found about 200 dimes now. I even ad a letter come to my house with a dime in a clear little window and it said “how many dimes do you need”. Once he told me that I have eyes in my heart and I needed to put on love like glasses. He called them love Googles. As he was telling me this I looked over at the tv and they had binocular type views. like someone was looking through binoculars. I could tell you all kinds of stuff like this. Like on my blog he showed me the secret place of the most high. Also I asked him about his character and he told me to consider the fact that he made “tickle spots” of people on purpose. That says a lot. He is the nicest and most amazing people I have ever met. When I was in Arkansas at a hotel with my wife I was practicing being led by the spirit and he brought me to the hotel room door. I was standing in front of the door and my wife was to my right getting out of the shower. I was wondering why he was having me stand there but he said just be patient. I felt a little goofy, while I was waiting about three min or so I looked out the peep hole and saw a man we did not know walk up and then put a key in our door. Had I not been there he would have come in and seen my wife naked. I stopped the man and said the desk downstairs had made a error. when the man left the lord said my nakedness (sin or lack) is none of the devils business. That is pretty amazing. I was at the discount store the other day and he told me mrs. west who runs the store was having trouble with her right leg. I asked he how her feet were doing and she said she was having trouble with her right leg. The other day I asked if God wanted to tell me anything about my kids. He showed me a picture of my 6 year old brushing his teeth with one stroke and then quitting. I asked him if thats what he was doing and he said yes. He said it was faster. I then took him and showed him how to brush his teeth. Thats the good stuff on the negative side I have had terrible troubles with the devil sometimes. I find that my victory is always in trusting Christ.

From the east to the west

I was talking to God about my sins and he said he knew every sin all the way from the east to the west. I thought that was nice and comforting since God says he removes our sins as far as the east is from the west.

HIS truth will be your sheild and buckler

There are a lot of spirits talking in the world but only one real spirit of truth. The world at large isnt looking for him but you know him as a Christian. When we listen to the voice of truth he can protect us from other voices that are trying to tell you there “truth”.

walk in love, walk in light, walk in love, etc…

The love of God has been shed abroad in our hearts by the holy spirit. We can “tune” that love in by faith and walk in him. This keeps us safe from darkness. The god of this world is a angel. I looked up angel in the Greek and one of the roots it comes from is “reflector”. He reflects light. You know like “I can see that”, or this is the truth I see. Etc etc.  So he is constantly broadcasting pictures, feelings, thoughts and spiritual understanding that is light but not the true light. This explains why people believe evolution and other silly ideas. The big trick of this spiritual governor is to get us offended with another, thus separating us from love and that means separation from God who IS love. Love is light and love believes all things. The God of this world blinds the mind of those who don’t believe (since they don’t love). The light came into the world and the darkness comprehendeth it not.  When we walk out of love we this we have sin, since we are walking outside of God who is love. Our lens on reality which is our heart then becomes a little darker and we see everything through that darkness. “now we see through a glass darkly” Well darkness leads to more darkness and then we will pretty much believe any old thing. The blood of Christ can cleanse us of that sin.  Then we can see right in love. The love of God mixed with his word gives us light and starts cleaning up our heart. Jesus commanded us to make our HOME in his love. This leads us to psalm 91 which is the shelter (home) of the most high. This keeps you “safe from the strife of tongues”. So we can escape all the talking from the darkness. We then walk in the light as he is in the light.

the kingdom of God is operating now

The kingdom of God is here now. When a king gives a decree its the law. Its all operating. like gravity or the laws of thermodynamics. As is your faith it is being done to you right now. Well all of Gods decrees are working. For us they become active when we believe. We act on the word with faith and patience. Eventually our reality changes. Either we believe the new government based on faith and Gods limitless power or we are believing our physical senses and our canal mind. Because its all ready done is why Jesus sat down waiting for his enemies to be his footstool. He sowed his life and then he sat down. He paid for your peace, your sins, your healing. When we believe we enter into what he has done. He’s all ready accomplished your salvation, he has all ready made you well and prosperous. All this is static and waiting for us in its completed form. It all starts with righteousness, you can have any part of him without him washing your feet. For instance the Bible says that righteousness has come upon all men. Do all have it? No. Are all healed? No, But it is there for them. The lord paid for every sickness and sin. He could not have left anything un-paid for. The lord showed me a wall plate that has power in it. Its always on just waiting for someone to plug in. How can you put this work for you? Is poverty a problem? study how Christ was made a curse for you and that poverty is under the curse. Know the promises for prosperity. Once you believe them then that is law for you. All creation will have to bow to God sword based the death of his son for you. Out of a good mans heart good things come to pass and out of a evil mans heart evil things come to pass. Get Gods words in there. We are in a glory economy now. Glory means weight. Give God’s word weight. Everything was made by Gods word for God’s word. Get your heart in agreement with heaven. Whatever you lock is locked and whatever you unlock is unlocked. Take every thought captive to the intimacy that you have with Gods word. That thought kingdom is working all the time, take dominion over it , be diligent and make the word of God rule there. Only you can make it work. The current governor is persistent always talking and putting out his spirit to destroy. Gods kingdom is voluntary. Jesus said the way to life is vigorous and demands all your attention. The kingdom of God is in your heart and come through his words. once you believe for it the other current government has to move aside and allow heavens provision in. Whatever measure you believe for it will be measured back to you. Another example, in the area of righteousness. he tasted death for everyman, Righteousness has come upon all men, and the effect of righteousness is peace. Do you have peace? If not you can meditate on Gods word until you believe it. In this case meditate or study righteousness. When you believe you have it then you WILL experience peace. Since Gods word is law it would be impossible for you not to have that peace. Thats the kingdom. Everything God said is working now. It says in Hebrews only we who believe God can enter. How does faith come? faith comes by hearing and hearing by the word of God. We can stand on the words of God instead of present reality or reasoning. Gods word goes beyond reasoning, God can do ANYTHING. It says he can do exceedingly above all we can ask or think ACCORDING to the power that works with in us? what is God’s power? The word says I am not ashamed of the good news of Christ for it is the power of God to them that believe. So its power released by faith. Imagine a diplomat in another country. Even though the laws of the county he is in say one thing his country says another. His position as a diplomat gives him immunity from those laws. For instance the law of this world is the law of life in the flesh. Being motivated by the want of the eyes, the want of the flesh and the pride of life. The law of sin and death is active. However you as a citizen of heaven can live free from the law of sin and death by activating the law of the spirit of life in Christ Jesus. You can be free from your old man. As the bible says it those that belong to Christ have crucified there flesh and the wants and affections there of. Not by your effort but by living with Christ by faith. Your a branch not the vine. Without him you can’t do a thing.  His power comes into your life through faith and stops your flesh. You can demonstrate this in a spot check way by trusting Christ the next time you get mad of the next time you want to overeat or watch too much tv. Christs power will be there and he will make you want to do his will and then enable you to do it. God wants us to live in union with Christ like this all the time. He grows more and more in you as you trust him. In this way you become conformed to the image of his dear son. All that power is inside that socket. His spirit, blood and his word is just sitting there waiting for you to plug in by faith.

to clean the heart

from the Aramaic,
Truly the faith of God in you let be If you believe in your heart -if your heart becomes divided not the thing you say will happen.

The thing the knowledge of Good and Evil did to us is make for a double hearted person. This effectively cuts us off from Gods help because we can never believe. The bible says the god of this world blinds the mind of those who do not believe. Jesus says our FAITH makes us whole. The Bible said he made one man out of the two. To be one person again instead of two. It says that a heart is repaired by mercy truth and love. Once again we see righteousness in first place in the form of mercy. Seek first the kingdom of God and righteousness. The kingdom of God is the kingdom of the air. Currently it is ruled by the devil. That kingdom of the air is your inner self. All those thoughts images and beliefs, thats the kingdom. So its saying get that cleaned up first. Rightousness leads us to the cross. Unless you eat my flesh and drink my blood you have no life in you. So to repair the heart your right standing with God because of Jesus sacrifice is first. With the heart you believe unto righteousness. You can tell if your doing this right for certain because you WILL have peace. The effect of righteousness is peace. And the work of righteousness is quietness and assurance for ever. If you think this is in error your arguing not with me but with the bible. You can prove it to yourself by taking a scripture that says your righteous by faith alone and meditate (meditate in the Hebrew means “chew the cud”) on it until you believe it. As you do things that go against that verse will come up but cut those ideas down by giving more weight to the word. You can use truth and love to give the word weight. When you actually believe it you will experience this crazy amazing peace. You will know if you have done it right. You must get that righteousness first. Jesus said unless you are will for me to wash away your moral guilt you can no part of me. Then truth which is the word. You have to have that in you so you can be cleaned up. He cleans up the heart through the washing of the water of the word. By these promises you might be partakers of the divine nature (or output).

The first and only copies of the bible were in Aramaic.

Jesus spoke Aramaic. The first and only copies of the bible were in Aramaic. They have translations of this Bible here.

Here are a few interesting translations. For instance about prayer.

Truly the faith of God in you let be   If you believe in your heart -if your heart becomes divided not the thing you say will happen.

Heres another

happy are those who are rinsing their robes that it will be license on the log of life and they may be entering the portals to the city REV 22:14

If we believe we will enter that state of resting We who believe are entering into the stopping, according as he has declared “as i swear in indignation, if they shall be entering into my stopping…! Although the works occur from the beginning of the world. for only we who believe God can enter. 

how to have a quiet heart, You can demonstate this to yourself now.

the work of rightousness is peace and the effect of rightousness is quietness and confidence forever.

When  you put faith in THAT sacrifice your bill is paid. faith in anything else won’t work. There is no other way to pay this bill. Only Christ could pay, only faith in his work is accepted. Once you believe Christ paid the full debt, really believe it then you WILL experience peace.  One of the ways I do it is through meditation. I get a piece of the word that says “he that takes refuge in him will be freely pardoned.” and go over and over the same verse. This brings up anything contrary to this in my heart. I then give more weight to the word than I Give to any other reasoning. “be careful how you hear, with the same measure you hear will be measured back to you. Once you actually believe you are rightouss the peace WILL come. Then continue trusting christ. It says he will keep our hearts quiet and at rest as we trust in him.

Freely Pardoned

Freely Pardoned

these are verses that talk about our being forgiven. Since our spirit is alive through righteousness this equates to righteousness that comes from Christ to be the “bread of life”.

everyone who takes refuge in him will be “freely pardoned.

yet God declares us “not guilty” of offending him if we trust in Christ Jesus. romans 3:24

when we came he declared us “not guilty” romans 8:30

Everyone who trusts in him is “freed from all guilt”

and is “declared righteous”

“forgiven us and given us right standing with himself” Romans 8:33

I will not remember your sins Isaiah 43:25

he removed our transgressions from us. Psalm 103:12

“I’ve blotted out your sins” Isaiah 44:22

he forgives all my sins Psalm 103:3

cast all their sins into the depths of the sea Micah 7:19

he took away all our sins by the blood of his son Ephesians 1:7

I will pardon all their iniquities Jeremiah 33:8

unless you are willing to let me wash away your moral guilt

Words + faith = SPiritual reality

Gods word and his faith made all of heaven and earth. Jesus who is God’s word uphold everything by the word of his power. We are the owners of this planet. We are put in charge. we are in God’s image and rule like he rules. When we mix  the devils words  that come in through thoughts feelings and reasonings with faith, then our faith tears things down or darkens the world and ourselves. When we mix faith with Gods word then God is allowed to reign. Thats Gods kingdom. Our dominion here is by our belief. Jesus is free to reign in our world when we believe what he says and we line up with heaven. Thats the kingdom of heaven here now.

faith construct 101 building in the kingdom of the air

I noticed that the devil would pull a trick on me and do something I call a satanic construct. This is a series of lies and reasonings that would make me to a conclusion that would trap me. Here is a example of a very simple one. Fact 1 your dad had a heart attack. Fact 2  your overweight. Fact 3 your mother had a heart attack. Fact 4 you can expect a heart attack any time. Now this all makes logical sense. When Jesus talked to people it said they didn’t believe him because “they reasoned within themselves.” There is a greater law at work than natural law in the world. Gods word is greater. God says with long life he will satisfy me. Another says “as your days are so shall be your strength”. Another says all the promises of God are yea and amen IN  HIM. NO it also says he that eats my flesh and drinks my blood abides IN ME. So my kingdom of God spirit construct overrides the natural realm and reasoning construct. They both could work but each depends on the weight you give them. “be careful how you hear for in the same measure you hear will be measured back to you.” In the bible in the Greek (glory=weight or heaviness) He provide for our needs based on his riches in glory (weight) through the anointed (Christ) Jesus.

Faith constructs are really great and frustrate the devil. Ok that being said here is a recent faith construct. I am using.  I am going to use verses here.

GOD WILL DO THIS since God can not lie:

1. I watch over my word to perform it. 2. ASK anything in my name and I will do it. 3. Ask and believe you HAVE ALL READY RECEIVED IT and you will have it. 4.If we ask anything according to his will we know that he hears us, and we know that if he hears us WE HAVE the requests we have made of him.

so we pray GODS WILL: 1.God gave his son so that we could be through with sin and live good lives from now on. 2. Beloved above all things I wish that you would posper and be in good health. 3. I have no greater Joy than to see my children walking in the truth.  we ask IN JESUS NAME

SO now by faith I am walking in the truth, I am prospering and in health and am living a good life from now on based on Gods ability to tell the truth.

When you build one of these you will notice that the devil comes right away to come in and try to tear them down. So then you keep these verses handy and as the bad thoughts come up you use this closed chain of logic to bar them from entering. Keep it on the silid rock of Gods word in faith instead of your reasonings and feelings. If you keep it up they get frustrated and leave waiting for you to let down your guard. If your saying to yourself right now hey thats not right it doesn’t work that way. Now those thoughts right there thats the devils government working to get the word out. See its in operation right now.  This all happens in the kingdom of the air (heaven). The devil is the king of the air and wants to rule (based on your beliefs) here but faith constructs carve out a niche he does not rule and keeps him out. The the (government) kingdom of God that Jesus preached was here now can operate through his words. Most people think the  kingdom of heaven is when you die but no it’s here right now. All those parables Jesus spoke of are in operation right now, outer darkness, etc. all that stuff is operation right now. People are in outer darkness now not just when they die. Some walk in Gods kingdom right now (its a spirit “air” kingdom) not only later when they die. The way into the kingdom is through his blood and the way to stay in is let the king rule who is love. Love is the law of this kingdom and covers all the laws of God. Its Gods good pleasure to give us the kingdom and we enter it now not later. You are currently in the kingdom of darkness (flesh) or the kingdom of light (spirit). The blood of the lamb lets us in and believing his words forms the kingdom in us.

Gods furious love

I was talking to God and this idea came to mind. “Gods furious love.” I thought that was weird but upon examination of what I knew of the bible I found it interesting. God has wrath and that is big in most peoples mind. However he says he has no pleasure in the death of the wicked. How ever it says that the redemption of man brings him great pleasure. It says his anger is for a moment but his mercy lasts forever. Gods emphasis is on the Love. Its peoples dark hearts that emphasize the wrath. God is much more interested in the love. (and hes already taken out his wrath on Jesus)

two men into one

It says that in the bible God made two men into one when he sent Christ.

By belief in the sacrifice of Christ the “power” of sin is defeated. This allows you to be free from its influence. Living in that spirit allows you to do the right thing. Sin is only empowered when it is a living thing. Faith in Jesus blood makes it dead, since Jesus paid for it. Once Jesus sacrifice is alive in you through faith, by just believing it, it makes sin dead in you. Sin is a spiritual thing, the law of the SPIRIT of life in Christ Jesus makes us free from the power of the law of sin and death. Trusting Jesus is the only righteousness there is. By faith his sacrifice is credited to you and stops sin from making you a spiritual idiot. When sin is operating in your life you can’t think right , just like Adam lost his mind after the fall and blamed eve and God in one sentence. Sin makes you a spiritual moron. Christs’ blood makes you think strait. Makes you sane. You can’t think right with sin active in your life.

Since the whole trouble with man was that knowledge of Good and evil The way to solve it would be to get rid of the knowledge of evil. If you got rid of that you would fix things to the way it was before the fall. Instead of a open door to fear, anger , guilt etc you would have a closed door. Faith in Jesus blood closes that door. We are to take every thought captive to the “knowledge” we have in Christ. This word knowledge in the Greek is where we get the word for sexual intercourse. It is oneness and a mating. The knowledge of evil is the same word. Jesus came in sinful flesh and his body met the punishment that sin brings. However since his body bore the punishment but was sinless we who have a sinful body can “get a divorce” from it by “marrying” Christ. Because in Christ The punishment for the body’s mis deeds have been paid. Faith is spiritual substance and when we have faith in what Christ did it becomes real in us. Just like the sin is real in us and exerts a power over us. Since we have obeyed sin we are then subject to it from then on. The bible says “the one you yield yourself to obey it will take you.” However belief in that blood sacrifice is the door into God and allows us to get a sin divorce. It puts out the fire. Then we can respond to God. Since our spirit is alive through righteousness and we can no longer produce it God gives us Jesus righteousness to sustain us. He’s the bread of life. Then he gives us right thoughts through his word that cleanse us from the wrong beliefs and thinking we got while being slaves of sin. Paul said he carried the death of Jesus with him always that the power of Jesus might be manifest. Its that death that makes two men into one and stops the confusion. The bible says the effect of righteousness is peace and quietness and assurance for ever. It says with the hart we believe unto righteousness. Without that belief it is not real inside us since faith is spiritual substance. If you meditate (chew the cud) on the words of God about our saviors sacrifice until it brings you peace you will be amazed. its called peace that passes understanding and it really works. As soon as your wrong ideas in your heart get changed into the right ideas by faith you experience that peace. It really works.Jesus said if you eye (in your heart) is evil (or dual) your whole body is filled with darkenss but if your eye is sound, solid (one eye) your whole body is full of light. The problem of the knowledge of good an evil is solved by starting here. see this sacrifice with a single eye. look at it only Gods way and no other. Don’t reason within yourself with your broken dual heart but with faith like a little child see it God’s way and only his way. When you do this peace comes. Standing only on Jesus righteousness brings two men into one and solves the problem created by “knowing” good and evil both. Now you only are in living union with good. You “know” good.

fear of =subject to : faith = protected from

When the devil appraoched God about Job he said that he could not get in because of the hedge God had about him. God told the devil see he is allready in your power. That power was fear. job said “the thing I have feared has come upon me.”

In proverbs we read he that breaks down a hedge will get bit by a serpent.

When we fear we are under the devils spiritual government. When we have faith we are in Gods governmental protection and protected by his hedge.

Fear=faith perverted

The bible says Jesus came to save those through fear of death who all their life had been “subject to” bondage.

Fear of death brings you to the death you fear.

The devil goes about like a roaring lion. Lions when they hunt never roar. Only weak old outcast lions roar. They are  roaring to try to get a animal to fear and freeze so they can catch it. They are too old and weak to catch it like other cats. I did a study on lions when I was in grade school.
Fear=subject to….Faith=protected from.

Its that simple.

The Cantaloupe of life. Living life form the inside out…

I saw something uninteresting the other day. A physics professor said that when Jesus showed up to the disciples and just appeared that he was moving in the sixth dimension. Now I don’t pretend to know what that means but he said from the sixth dimension you could eat a orange from the inside out.

When I woke up this morning the lord showed me a Cantaloupe.

People eating a Cantaloupe from the outside in might sort of scratch the surface with their teeth and taste the bitter peel but only a few would bite down hard enough to get some sweet fruit. Even then it might be mixed with peel and make the fruit well, un apealing. (sorry bout the pun)

Anyway if you eat the fruit from the sixth dimension you could eat the fruit and skip the peel. Your perception of the peel would see it was nessesesary to care for the fruit but wasnt what the fruit was all about. Those on the outside eating the peel would think there is something wrong with this fruit. A few would find some sweet fruit but mixed with the peel not so tasty.

When we live Gods way, by faith we see present circumstances in their true form. We know that our faith will change them and we can eat the sweet right now. Ask and believe that you receive them and you shall have them. From the inside out. First clean the inside of the cup then the clean outside will matter.

So we use Gods utensils which is the word of God and eat the sweet now, by faith, int the “sixth dimension” I guess and we can eat the fruit from the inside out instead of trying to eat it peel first.

People who live just on the surface will every once in a while git a taste of love or peace, but never get much and will be mixed with bitterness. Those who live in the spirit will have there love full on knowing the external things of life are like the peel. Thats why faith is so important. If i say I love you but you never believe it you will never feel it. When Jesus says he loves us we need to believe it. Living from the inside out. Then the circumstances won’t matter. WE take it by faith and its ours. Soon the circumstances will align with it. The feelings will come. It develops like a seed and soon the plant is here.

Its like we are being taught about life from someone that lives in more dimensions. From his perscepctive he sees that every command of his leads to life. Every thing he says is true. His reality is comming ot take over ours. From our perspective we don’t see it yet. We are on the out side with only a few dimensions to reference. He sees it all. Thats why its important to listen to him, mixed with love and truth. Then we can see. Jesus it says did not take what he saw or what he heard or felt as truth. He saw truth as truth dispite what other evidence there was. When he spoke to the fig tree he believed it was withered. Only afterwards did the disciples see it. We have been given keys to this inside dimension that controls the outside dimensions. Its our faith.

prayer always fails…

saw a post on amazons forums saying prayer always fails. A bunch of people talking about how they never saw an answer to prayer and how they don’t belive in God anymore. I wanted to throw up. I wanted to toss over some temple tables.

I had to answer here is my reply.

I had to post this since I saw a post in here saying prayer always fails…
I have had so many answers to prayers I can not count them all. I decided I was through with what I had learned from church and asked God to teach me about prayer. I learned from what he said and chucked every thing else. I read just about every verse in the bible on prayer, ESPECIALLY what Jesus taught. He said the traditions of men make void the word of God so I wanted that cr&* out. Just what he said. It says that
if we call on him he will tell us great and mighty things which we know not. Anyway I found out I had to ask and not doubt. I knew I was a Christian and that either this was all true or it was bu*&%. The first thing I prayed for was a wife. It said ask whatsoever things I willed. So I prayed that I would get a wife 10 years younger than me, blond , blue eyed, a inch shorter than me and that she would like where I lived
and had a good family. I told him I did not want to see her in two years, not two months but in two weeks. Faith is being certain I said and not being wishy washy. After I did that I had tons of thoughts come at me, how it wouldn’t work, how it wasn’t right to pray that way etc. I just knocked them all down, I did my part I said , God WILL do his part. I was serious. If you sow serious you reap serious. Anyway
that week a blonde girl with blue eyes who was ten years younger than me a inch shorter than me with a nice family showed up at my house and at the end of the week she said she would marry me. Not two weeks but one. The next prayer answer I had was with a lady that lived in a house with 50 dogs in it. She never cleaned it and had no water power and gas. I asked God to do three things. 1. get rid of the dogs. 2. water power and gas on and 3. clean her house. I asked God to do it within two weeks.
next day she comes over and 9 dogs died that night of parvo. At 10 o clock the head law enforcement officer comes over and asks if he can remove the dogs. They arrested her for “dogs at large” and she put me in charge of the house. Then because she had 50 dogs in her house a story wa sin the paper. I have the article. Then because she got her name in the paper someone paid for her water power and gas. That was Friday. She was released on Friday but she had to clean up her house and the court had to inspect it. All in one week not two. Oh ya faith works. Faith can not NOt work. its spiritual law more solid than the laws of physics. All traditions of men have to go out the window and Just what Jesus says counts. The reason most don’t understand it is because they don’t have the holy spirits help and rely on their carnal brain. Jesus said what
measure you give to what he said would be measured back.The only way to understand the scripture is through Gods spirit of truth and love. Otherwise you comprehend it not. (the darkness comprehends it not)
I am 100 feet away from a new house we got in one day with prayer and about 50 feet from a car we got the next day in prayer. I wanted a ski machine, the lord told me to go to a thrift store and they had one on the side of a building. They said i could have it for free it worked fine. I have tons of these answers more than I can count!. I just got a profanity removing cable box the other day by prayer. God got me more than the money I was expecting on a real estate deal when the brokers pulled a dirty trick on me. I prayed and it all turned around. I have so many prayer answers its not funny. I can not believe people are saying prayer doesn’t work. what universe do they live in? Sorry I guess i got a little steamed after seeing that post. God is so great and kind when you get to know him, hes almost like a little kid in some ways. So humble and nice. A few weeks ago he told me he made tickle spots on people on purpose.
Its a design feature! it has to be. thats God, thats the way he thinks. The darkness used to blind my mind to him I used to think he was mean and scary. But tickle spots. He put tickle spots on people! Ladybugs! puppies! open your eyes people! anyway I guess I am just ranting now….So i will stop. (and the darkness comprehended it not)

I have a bunch more on my site thingsgodtaughtme.wordpress.com

Mark 11:24 (Amplified Bible)

24 For this reason I am telling you, whatever you ask for in prayer, believe (trust

and be confident) that it is granted to you, and you will [get it].
Mark 11:24 (The Message) Have the faith of God Jesus says. God decides it is and it

is, he never backs up on it or wavers, we should not either because we are supposed to

be imitating God like dear children.

Psalms 82:6 “I said, ‘You are “gods” you are all sons of the Most High.’

22-25Jesus was matter-of-fact: “Embrace this God-life. Really embrace it, and nothing

will be too much for you. This mountain, for instance: Just say, ‘Go jump in the

lake’—no shuffling or shilly-shallying—and it’s as good as done. That’s why I urge you

to pray for absolutely everything, ranging from small to large. Include everything as

you embrace this God-life, and you’ll get God’s everything. And when you assume the

posture of prayer, remember that it’s not all asking. If you have anything against

someone, forgive—only then will your heavenly Father be inclined to also wipe your

slate clean of sins.”

I had to post this cause I saw a post in here about prayer not working. You must have done it wrong. Your in the image of God. If i had a kid that was throwing a fit and not acting right I would not give him what he was asking for. I would wait until he did it right. Since your in the image of God he wants you to act like him. he has serious unwavering faith. Its a being a good parent to wait until you get it right. In this world there are all kinds of spiritual principalities and power running around in the thought world telling you it just ain’t so. Well it is so. They are trying to talk you out of your faith, reason you out of it. Faith works period. Your reasonings as to why it doesn’t work is devil poop. Nothing more. Jesus says to him that overcomes.
Don’t be overcome of evil but overcome evil with good. Thats why that tree of the knowledge of good and evil was so bad for us. Always going between good and evil means no faith. No faith means no spiritual substance. Faith is the substance. Wavering is not rewarded. Its spiritual law like the law of gravity. God’s not going to break the law for you or anyone. Jesus is the high preist of OUR confession. Also if you have un- forgiveness which is a violation of the law of love you can forget it too.

I know I sound like a mad ranter by now but Yikes! I just had to..

Sue got a car by prayer, next day.

My mother inlaw Sue prayed for a new car the other day. The day after she prayed her brother Earl, who knew nothing of her prayers gave her his brown suburban.

The cuss-en-ator

I heard on a teaching tape with Gloria Copeland that they have this gizmo that removes cussing from tapes and cds. I asked God for one because in the message I read that I should “ask God for all things both big and small then I would have God’s everything.”

Anyway, later on that day my wife said she was going to the thrift shop and asked If I wanted to go. I said no, but the Lord said to go. So I went and then on the back shelf I found one of those gizmos called “curse free”. Works great! cost $2.50

The names of the first few people in the bible predict Christ

The meanings of The names predict Christ.

Gen chapter 5,  ADAM (Human) SETH (established) Enosh (Mortal) Kenan (sorrow) Mahalalel (the blessed God) Jared (coming or shall come down) Enoch (Teacher or teaching) Methuselah (his death shall bring) lamech (despairing) Noah (rest).

 {Human established Mortal sorrow, the blessed God, shall come down teaching, his death shall bring (the) despairing rest}.

The bible is full of this amazing stuff.  

God teaches me how to raise my kiddos

I am going to put more personal examples here of what God teaches me even though some might think it odd. I realized I was holding back some of this stuff because I thought people would think its weird, but Whatever I am free from fear so here goes.

Example: I was talking to my two boys 6 and 9 and asked God if there was anything he needed to tell me. I instantly saw a picture of my 6 year old doing one stroke on his teeth with his toothbrush and then putting it down. I asked him if thats how he brushed his teeth. He said “Yes”. I told him that that was what God had shown me and then explained how to brush his teeth right.

The Bible promise for this is “ask me and I will tell you great and mighty things which you know not.” Now some may not think this is great and mighty but I thought it was pretty great.

who’s workmanship?

I was sitting here talking to God and he said something to me. I often look back on who I am now, who I was in the past. These thoughts come up a lot. Looking back. What I understood is this “you’ve been looking at what satan made you. This is a satanically ruled planet. Your past is what he made of you. Your future is what God will make of you. It starts with Christ’s work as the foundation and moves on through faith to faith. You believe it in. The same way you got all that old junk you believe about yourself now. You what God says and you become a new person, faith to faith. We are now God’s workmanship. This one thing I do, Paul said, forgetting those things which are behind I press on toward the mark.

The two truths

Jesus said that a witness to him was in the world but that the world did not recognize him. He is the spirit of truth. There is another spirit of “truth” that is not truth at all. They even feel different. God is truth. The devil is called the God of this world. There are then two “truths.”

The devil wants to reign by getting people to give him the weight of truth. There is a real spirit of truth and it is different from the spirit of “truth” that rules the world. The fake truth comes behind silly ideas like “evolution” to give them weight. He tries to convince you with spiritual weight or force. For instance, if someone told you you would never amount to something that may be lodged in your heart. It may be backed up by a feeling. It should be replaced by what faith in what God says “I am God’s workmanship (in the Greek workmanship says “poem”) created in Christ Jesus for good works,” and “I am accepted in the beloved.” Give weight to that by faith to the word despite the past or what you feel like. To believe what any other thought says about you is to give that the weight of “truth”. You have to listen to him and give weight to HIS words. Jesus said if you continue in my words you will know the truth and the truth will set you free. Lies bind, truth sets free. Trusting Christ’s words puts you in his kingdom and takes you out of the devils. Jesus said be careful how you hear because with the same measure that you hear will be measured back to you. HE meets our needs according to his riches in glory (weight) through Christ Jesus. The anointed word of God mixed with faith.

The devil is all around you in thoughts, pictures, feelings (or spirit). The word needs to be your shielding and place of truth between you and thoughts that come in from the atmosphere. In Peter it says “an idle mind is a devils workshop.” Keeping you mind occupied keeps him out. Meditating is good for this which in the Hebrew means “chew the cud”. Another is making melody in your heart to the Lord.

The master faith, the one that opens the door to God’s goodness is believing in what Jesus did on the cross. Everything stems from that truth.

You need to spirit of truth in you. Ask God.

Luke 11:1-13 “How much more will the heavenly Father give the Holy Spirit to those who ask him!”

Once you ask you have done your part, he will do his part. No other validation is necessary. You have done your part, he will do his part. Every other thought that would try to talk you out of it is from the kingdom of this world. You need faith like a little child to get in Jesus said. Once you ask don’t look for any evidence other than what the word said. He will give it to you. You take it then before you see evidence.

Meet the new boss, not the same as the old boss…

Jesus spoke of the kingdom of heaven being here now. This is true. The old spiritual government is in the unseen realm. It is those thoughts that fly around, impulses. Spirits. The bible says “the spirits rule”. The impulses and ideas of your carnal mind are from the current government. We enter into the new spiritual government  through  Christs redemptive work. His victory over the current system allows us to legally ignore the orders and dictates of the current spiritual government through trusting him for the power. Hes the vine, were the branches. Living in vital trust to Christ unites us to the new spiritual governor. Ever here that who song that says meet the new boss, same as the old boss. Not true here. The old boss forces you to do what he says through impulses ans force. The new boss doesn’t barge in but you trust him and he works. You must stay united in this trust. If you want to go your own way he will let you. When we trust Christ he gives us the freedom to say no to our old man. He makes us free to follow his spiritual government. Working with his words and faith changes us into his subjects. His way of thinking.

let’s build something together

Faith is the substance of things hoped for.

Most everything in your heart gets there through faith. You give each word concept or idea a weight and then it stays or leaves. Jesus said “be carefull how you hear for the same measure that you hear will be measured back to you.” There are two spiritual values that really hammer in a thought. “speaking the TRUTH in LOVE we might grow up into him who is the head principality and power.

So you are building all the time. The word says that there will be a testing one day. Some will build with wood, hay and stubble and some gold, silver and precious gems.  All the works will go through the fire and then it says we will all have praise of God. So he will thank us for what makes it through. It says our God is a consuming fire. I believe the fire is truth in love. The holy spirit told me I needed to burn with love everyday so that I would do what is right and leave the trivial behind. The Bible says in first Corinthians 13 that without love my faith, efforts, and knowledge profits me nothing. Profits is whats left over after expenses. So if we are to build right we should build with truth in love. Each thought should be taken captive to Christ. Each thought is a nail, every act a timber in our house. Our heart is being formed. In a new living translation it says be careful how you think your life is made up by your thoughts.

The word of God is strong stuff. It has substance no matter what we do. Its enduring and lasts forever. We need tobuild with it.

The love of God is shed abroad in our heart through the holy Ghost. Its spiritual light.

While I was thinking of this I pictured a group of expert builders building a house in the dark.  It wouldn’t turn out well. Yet everyday we think, and do our stuff without love. It makes for a twisted building. In the message it says that a loveless world is a sightless world , and that only in the dark is there a danger of stumbling. So to get our house right we need to build in the light. The truth about who we are and where we are in history. Peter said prophecy is like a light shinning in a dark place and we would do well to pay attention to it until the morning star rises in our heart. I have a site with some nice pictures that can convince you of where we are in history at http://www.signsoftheend.blogspot.com It says if we have the hope of Christs coming soon in our heart we will purify ourselves as he is pure. We will get busy doing what is important instead of just thinking of today.

If a man has a servant explained

There is a parable that Jesus tells right after the disciples ask him about getting more faith. He said if you had a servant that comes in from working in the field would you let him sit down and eat first or would you have him fix you supper first and then let him eat. The way I understand this is the servant is your faith. You must fix dinner for the master first then you can eat yourself. When you ask for something in faith you give glory to God when you don’t waver. Circumstances and current reality say your faith is in vain. Thoughts come that say it won’t work. But you hold firm to your faith and then the answer shows up. This is the way I have found faith to work and its for our benefit. God is wanting us to stay firm in faith till the answer comes, even in the face of opposition so that faith can be formed in our heart. This is the creative process that changes our heart from no faith to faithful. It brings glory to God. Thats why it says to count it all joy when you fall into various trials. God is making something. Also the joy of the lord is your strength. God made you dinner first through supplying the bread of life. We eat that bread and make him the dinner of standing firm in the face of opposition. We then enjoy the “fruits” of our labor of faith. Don’t let your faith rest until it has made you something to eat.

Christianity in a nutshell my response to tom cruises video on scientology

here is a link to the video

I saw a post where Tom cruises video had briefly appeared on you tube. The powers that be over there yanked it off you tube but once something is let go on the web its out there.

Anyway in the comment section I put a comment on what Christianity is to me since most people were likening Christianity to Scientology. So here is my “Christianity in a nutshell.

Ephesians 2:1-3 (Amplified Bible)
1 AND YOU [He made alive], when you were dead (slain) by [your] trespasses and sins

2 In which at one time you walked [habitually]. You were following the course and fashion of this world [were under the sway of the tendency of this present age], following the prince of the power of the air. [You were obedient to and under the control of] the [demon] spirit that still constantly works in the sons of disobedience [the careless, the rebellious, and the unbelieving, who go against the purposes of God].

3 Among these we as well as you once lived and conducted ourselves in the passions of our flesh [our behavior governed by our corrupt and sensual nature], obeying the impulses of the flesh and the thoughts of the mind [our cravings dictated by our senses and our dark imaginings]. We were then by nature children of [God’s] wrath and heirs of [His] indignation, like the rest of mankind.

Eat your Supper!

I was in a steak restaurant called logans roadhouse. I am always amazed at how God made living machines that taste good. Talk about your multi tasking. Steak is yummy.

While there I saw a sign that said “eat your dinner” in neon. I thought about Jesus words

“my food is true food, my blood is true drink.”

Odd to most, but I live by this. What amazing cooking this is! How few partake. I know its hard to get my kids to come to the table they are always busy with their plans.

I come to eat. All my worthlessness the devil is so fond of bringing to my attention, my insecurities, my suspicions, my sin tarnished view of myself; ALL gone when I come to the table. But I have to eat.

I eat Jesus’ perfect performance as my own, I taste the new fresh “who I now am.”

Yummy! I see with one eye now looking unto Jesus instead of myself. The spiritual noise around me subsides, my thoughts become peace. Paul said he was constantly carrying around the death of the lord Jesus so that the life of Jesus could be seen in him. His sacrifice takes the power out my old man and makes me whole.

This is a real power in the spirit world. All the sin and muck you carry around all got there and exists by faith. Put more faith in what Jesus did than on your past. Give it more weight than your sin and you will receive peace. Eat your supper! Gnaw at whats been eating you. Bite back. The war is over I don’t have to fight myself anymore, he makes one man out of the two. Now this is a foundation.

love=The bond of perfection Sin=the evil urge

A kingdom divided against itself can not stand. Jesus said this. In the bible it also says that love is the “bond of perfection”. That means love binds together. That gives light to the command “love the lord with all your heart” and love your neighbor as yourself.

The devils strategy is to divide us and God and our fellow Christians. If we live in love we can’t be divided.

In the bible it says the spirits rule, and in the new testament it says the one you obey he will take you. Since you will have some sort of spiritual master why not choose God who is love. By keeping in love you stay in union with God. He then controlls you. You can, in love, offer yourself as a living sacrifice, holy the kind he can accept. By faith walk in love. The world looks different. You will think different since “love thinks no evil”. You will be failure proof since “love never fails.” You make your heart strong and sinless when you love. You will be one with God since God is love and “love is the bond of perfection”. When you walk in the light the bible says we have friendship one with another and that the blood of Jesus Christ Gods son continually cleanses us from all sin. This all starts by rightousness since “the love of God is IN Christ Jesus, and Jesus said that he that eats his flesh and drinks his blood abides in him. Thats our rightousness. We enter by his blood we stay clean by walking in love. He that abides in him does not sin, it says. Even Jesus said that as the father loved him so he loved us and for us to “make our home in his love.” God always tells me to stay in the house, the shelter of the most high.

Jesus rightousness=entrance>Gods Love=continuous shelter.

 See the post below about abiding in the secret place of the most high. It says in the old testament tthat God keeps us safe from the strife of tounges in a pavillion. All those icky thoughts go by by in the shelter. Once you peg your acceptance with God on Jesus alone, and then walk in love all that negative talk has got to go. When it shows up it looks pretty silly in the light of love. It tells us in the bible to put on the armor of light. Gods is light, pure light in whom there is no darkness at all, God is love. Without love all the nasty little impulses take control. In the greek sin is sometimes translated “the evil urge”. Those urges come from satans programing in your heart and the spiritual powers pulling strings in the spirit world. Jesus blood got us legal freedom from those impulses. It cut the strings. Then Jesus words reshape the heart to be like him. “speaking the truth in love we grow up into him who is the head principality and power.” When you start to walk in love the light goes on and you see how many little “urges” and “impulses” have taken you over. You start to weed them out and say no to them. There is suffering involved in this. Thats why it says he that has suffered in the flesh has ceased from sins. Those that belong to Christ have crucified their flesh with the lusts and appitites thereof. As you start to walk in the freedom Christ has bought you you can say no to the flesh, yes to God. It all culminates in Love. When we are in love we live in God and we become one with him. This is what Jesus wanted when he prayed we would be one with him as he is with his father. Love is the bond of perfection. Love wants to be the spiritual boss. The one you obey he will take you it says. With LOVE calling the shots you become alive again, your spirit ascends over your flesh and carnal mind. Thats why it says the mind set on the flesh is death, the mind set on the spirit is life and peace. It also says we were like the others children of wrath who obey the impulses of the flesh and the mind.  We need to get in line with the spirit of God, Who is love. All this is due to Jesus and his power over sin.

By the way two important sources of love. One you are a branch not a vine. We love him because he first loves us.

When we recieve Gods love, by faith then we love him. Its exausting to do it the other way around. Meditation helps here, in the jewish bible meditation is translated like a cow “chewing the cud”. The cow eats grass, burps it up and chews it swallows it, goes to another stomach and then burps it up etc etc. Mediating on Gods love by his word and by his testimonies.

We focus on Gods love for us and we naturally love back. The other source is that the love of God has been shed abroad in our hearts by the holy spirit. Its there to use and develop by faith. You can start shining it all around and make your heart bright and clean inside! Its used by faith. Its kind of mazing what happens when you start to practice it. Its like you had this treasure you never knew you had.  

Angel in the fire

I saw this it was interesting. I don’t know if its real but it was fun to look at.

The Bright and Morning Star is still there.

 I was looking at the sky in the early morning and saw the morning star. Its venus and its very bright against the black sky.

I was thinking about feelings. Somtimes in your walk with God your feelings are intense. Sometimes they are not. As I was thinking about this God said look out the window again. I looked and the sun was up the sky was a pale blue. I could not see the morning star anymore but I knew it was still there. A entire world blotted out. A min ago it was so clear. Gods word, Gods Love is like that. We can believe it even if we don’t see it. I remember when I was healed of asthma and after a few days I had a little wheeze. I could at that point look to the symptoms and belive I had asthma again. Instead I said in myself “by his stripes I was healed.” The next breath was perfectly clear. I know I can stand on the word even if symptoms and circumstances say different. The word can change my circumstances, my feelings.

I can look up at the sky in the daytime and even though I can not see the stars I know they are there.  I can’t see them in the day and if I could they really look small from here. In fact they are greater and larger than the earth on which I stand. The blue sky and the distance hide the truth about whats up there. Feelings and circumstances are like that when the word of God is concerned. God’s word rules the universe, but with so much other light around and from this perspective it sometimes looks small. Thats decieving. It actually caused everything to come into being. Its the very building blocks of matter. My feelings and circumstances seem bigger, brighter but in reality they are not. The word is bigger, brighter, permanant.  

Jesus said that when the storms came that the house that stood firm was based on a rock.  Feelings, circumstances are shifting sand.

Where did God go?

This is a little post for when you think God has left you or you don’t feel his presence. I had one of those times and God told he to “take out the trash”. So I did and as I was walking outside God said “look up”. He said “where are the stars and the moon?”

It was overcast and the clouds blocked the stars and moon.

I said “they are there but behind the clouds”.

He said “I am still here too”.

I thought that was nice. On a scriptural basis not feeling Gods presence or wondering where he is usually always comes down to us not walking in love. We have become offended, or sinned, both are express exits from God’s presence. Also when you are offend and walk out of love you stumble in the dark and don’t know what your stumbling over according to 1 John. At those times I usually go over a few truths. Like that God loves me as much as he does Jesus. (he does you know according to the bible). I remember verses like, we love him because he first loved us, we have come to know and believe the love which God has for us, etc. Then I go over some kind and loving things God has done for me and then make sure I haven’t become offended with my neighbor. If I have I repent and start loving that person. There is a good book about how the devil traps us and gets us out of the love walk. Its called the bait of Satan. It will help you avoid about 80% of what the devil throws at you.

Instant peace, a place of shelter, make the Devil dissapear! PARALYZED!

Freeze the devil!

This is not going to make sense to most of you but to Christians undergoing trials it will really help. One of the most important things you can get is a handle on the righteousness that God gives. It is so important that God says to seek it first. It brings peace and a place of rest. The effect of righteousness is peace.

Isaiah 32:17 The work of righteousness will be peace; and the effect of righteousness, quietness and confidence forever.

SO since this is spiritual law lets make the law work for us. It also promises that those that receive the gift of righteousness and the abundance of grace will reign in life. Also it will take you out of religion directly into relationship.

Let me show you what Jesus showed me,

(yes, Jesus will show up and talk to you, John 14:21 He who has my commandments and obeys them (theres really only two) –he it is who loves me. And he who loves me will be loved by my Father, and I will love him and will clearly reveal myself to him.”)

I was on the porch and was having some troubles with el-diablo. If your a Christian you know what I am talking about, if not you will think I am nuts. Anyway Jesus shows up and shows me as I am having trouble with the devil how to make the devil disappear. I mean gone, like he does not even exist in my world. As I was being spiritually harassed He pointed out a little Chevron car, you know the one with the cute eyes.

The car looked at me kind of menacingly if you can believe it. (God is fun by the way.) Anyway then he showed me kinda like a box in the sky, (I didn’t see it with my eyes but in the spirit) He said that’s my righteousness, the box. You never did anything to make it, its something that happened completely out of your control. Take it as your own. Let that box be your righteousness completely severed from anything you did or did not do. Let it answer any questions about your right standing with me. As I took it as mine, and believed it I saw the eyes of the chevron car turn from menacing to dead, like it was a dead stick. It then got very quiet and the spiritual harassment was gone! Then I let go of the righteousness box and the harassment started, and the car looked mean again. Put the box back on and the car went dead and instant peace. Wow. now that’s a gift. So if I keep this “box” I can make the devil go away, anytime I want to, then I walk in love and boom chucka-lucka boom…

 

No devil, hes gone, Nada, he doesn’t exist in my universe.

 

Jesus said it was because with his righteousness on the Devil has no legal right to me. Wow this works, now I know what it means when it says that Jesus disarmed the principalities and paralyzed them.

Colossians2:15 Having disarmed principalities and powers, He made a public spectacle of them, triumphing over them in it.

Taking Jesus righteousness as your own takes every weapon the devil has and makes him freeze! wow so now your still armed with your sword and your opponent has no weapons! Remember how God said when a man fully armed guards his house its safe till someone better armed comes. Well bless, God, with Jesus righteousness THEY are disarmed and you are still armed. Now in peace you can get everything back the devil stole from you and hes frozen off in the corner!

True food, true drink!

Since God said seek ye first his kingdom and his righteousness it is super important and first means first, So it must be the way to start the whole Christian walk. Why war against a guy with weapons if you can disarm them first. Wow this makes the Christian walk a way easier. And the peace Wow, the peace. Its amazing!!!

Like a hot knife through butter

When you read the Bible you have to see it through the window of your heart. The Bible says a mans heart colors everything you see. Well your heart all ready has all kinds of stuff in it. Stuff from your past, stuff the devil sowed in it, fear, religous ideas. Well if you read the bible without care your prior experiences and other junk can color the word so that you don’t see it right.

In the wrong spirit the word that was meant to heal could hurt.

What to do? well the bible gives us the answer. “speaking the truth in love we might grow up into all things.” So we need the spirit of truth. That means is should be heavy, serious and the final say. But truth without love leads to wierd religious stuff. Truth without love is easily colored by fear. Fear is the basis of all kinds of religious junk and leads to little rules and hurt feelings. Your hidden fears backed up by a bible verse or two can change a life for the worse. Truth colored by love is what is needed. These two spiritual powerhouses make you “see” in your heart corectly. Like a hot knife through butter you will cut through all the junk in your heart . The Bible talks about having the eyes of your heart enlightened. Jesus talks about having a single eye, or light in you. Truth in love puts the bible in correct persective and puts the correct spiritual forces behind the word so that you can grow instead of be injured. The word of God read hap-hazerdly is dangerous. Be sure to have these powers out when you read the word. I often go over and over a promise till I get is set in truth and love. Rember God answers your prayers like this. He can do exceedingly abundant ly above all that you ask or think ACCORDING TO THE POWER THAT WORKS WITHIN YOU. I belive that power is the word and faith. Well if you can have anything you ask for if you don’t doubt (mark 11:24) You need some faith. Faith comes by hearing and hearing by the word. Put some truth and love behind the word and get that heart in shape fast. (proverbs say with a dull axe much strength is needed) Truth in love puts a razor sharp edge to the word you read.

Interesting video Man died after parachute accident

Person says he died after parachute incident. Has a interesting testimony.

The true blueprint for youself

PICTURE FROM http://www.marketplaceleaders.org/pages.asp?pageid=50730
I read in the message translation “self SACRIFICE is my way to finding your true self”. I also read “put off the old man and put on the new man created in the image of him who created it.”

The way this works in me is, well here is a example. Lets say my son Ben messed up my cd drive on my laptop (true story). Now my first reaction is to yell and be upset, saying things that make my boy upset as well. However since I have learned about Christ and his burden removing, yoke destroying power of God. So right away I “put on Christ” through faith. I draw from the vine. By trusting Christ right away in this little crisis I activate the “law of the spirit of life in Christ Jesus” that supercedes and inactivates the “law of the sin and death.” Kinda like how the law of lift on a airplane supercedes the law of gravity. About Christ it says “living in you as you trust in him”, so I am trusting, right now when I need it. What happens is I “tap into” Christ through that trust and am very calm with my boy. I explain to him how to use the cd rom, how he should call me to help if he has trouble. I don’t yell, no mean tones. Wow now thats living right. What a gift this is. No more evil me and I can be the kind of dad I always wanted to be. Not in my own strength but through the strength of trusting Christ. These are spiritual laws and they work just like the law of gravity or thermodynamics. Turns out that as I go with this that God wants me to live by trusting Christ all the time not just when I am in crisis. Christ becomes my self control and my wisdom. The Annointing has broken my “yoke”.

This goes along with abide in me and you will produce good fruit. I now also understand what Paul says when he says “I die daily”. He also said I am crucified with Christ and I no longer live, but Christ lives in me, the life I live in the body I live by faith in the son of God, who loves me and gave himself for me. So now I can be a good person and no longer moved about by my flesh. Jesus said I have to give up my life to save it and if I cling to it I would lose it. So now I know what this means. “AS YOU RECEIVED CHRIST JESUS  SO WALK YE IN HIM.  It says to those that recieved him to them gave he power to become the sons of God even to those that believe in his name. So we have power to be able to be good, no longer just having to follow rules. (the law leads to death)

When I was in sunday school I was told a lot of stuff I could do adn stuff I couldn’t. I tried to play that game but found I would mess it up and do bad stuff anyway. Then later when I really wanted to know how this worked I read romans 6, 7, 8. I found out it wasn’t up to me to be good, but that I had help. I could trust Jesus to be good in me. That ended the frustration of trying to be good by myself. The power to be good is through trusting Christ

The kingdom of God is like a seed

Just like God spoke and said “let there be light”

he speaks into the world today with his word. His words fall like seed and those that value those words grow in direct relation to the weight or importance they give those words. So his words are sent out to create in our hearts. Those that grow and are green he keeps as good word containers. He knows he can get a return on his word with those good ones in whom produces fruit. Those that reject the word don’t know truth, the real truth. They think truth is some other spirit than the real spirit of truth so the seed never grows in them. There is a real spirit of truth and those that really love truth find it.

To sharpen those words we can use truth and love. Speaking the truth in love we can grow up into him. Read the hot knife through butter post above.

Why does God say hide in his shadow when he has none?

God has no shadow. Since God is light and in him is no darkness at all I was curious about how God could have a shadow, I asked God about this and what I got back was,

“what part of the Godhead casts a shadow?”

Well Jesus would be the only one who ever did. So if we are standing in Jesus shadow he covers us from Gods judgment and we abide under his wings. I always knew that the secret place was in Gods love, but the bible says “the love of God is in Christ Jesus,”. How are we in Christ Jesus? “He that eats my flesh and drinks my blood abides in me”. Once we accept Jesus as our righteousness we have peace. The effect of righteousness is peace. So he is the covering from Gods judgment and our peace. “I will keep him in a pavilion safe from the strife of tounges” What he says about us becomes the place where we hide, rather than what we think about us. The Safety and security that Jesus perfect performance purchased is then ours, and satan’s legal rights are void thanks to the blood. Once you believe this legally you should experience and are owed peace. This goes along with my post below entitled “how to make the devil disappear” At the very bottom you can see a link to previous posts, be sure to click on that.

According to the riches of glory, what does that mean?

I was asking what the term “according to the riches of glory” as in my God shall supply all your needs according to the riches of glory through Christ Jesus.

I wanted to know what “according to his riches in glory by Christ Jesus” means. So I asked. What I was told was to find out what glory meant. It seems to mean “weight” or how awesome it is, you know heavy. To give something value. SO its like this

(riches is a variable) x Weight by (Christ Jesus, the word)=amount of supply

So in the same measure you give the words and trust Christ will be measured back to you. This is born out by other scriptures like “be careful how you hear for with the same measure that you hear will be measured back to you.” and what ever you sow you reap. This would make sense because it would be the way to make sure that everyone was treated fairly, including Christ. Since he made all this world and everything was made for his glory then anyone attributing glory to him should get a return. Also God would want to make sure to put growth and blessings in branches that produce. Since The real purpose of existence seems to be love and the glory of God then anything that gets in line with that purpose is blessed eventually. Its probably a little more complicated than this but in general I can see it working. For instance if someone puts faith in Gods word for salvation they receive it even if they say don’t ever believe in divine healing. By the way in the message Bible it translates that “green the color of glory.” I found that interesting since a lot of the world is green and that there is a green rainbow over Gods throne.

Joke God told me when I said some people think hes a cow.

I was talking to God and saw something on tv. I said God some people think you are a cow. He shot back udderly ridiculous! I thought that was funny.

How to turn Mike Tyson into Gary Coleman

Had a interesting experience. I started to meditate on how much God loved me by going over some of my prayer answers and Mr diablo showed up with some of his junk. Being in love though turns him in to a much smaller and less formidable foe. I was amazed that energized by love the devils once fiery darts that once hit hard fell with all the power of a water soaked tortilla! I launched the word at him and it cut through him like he was warm jello! What you talking about Willis!

Love is quite a power stance, Think about that next time the devil comes a calling. It says if you obey the law of love you will find your obeying all the others.

The bible (the message translation) says put on love, make it your everyday garment, never be without it. Do all things with love. Jesus said make your home in my love and he also say why do you call me lord and do not what I say. Making our home in love is a important commandment. Its the shelter of the most high spoken of in psalms 91.

Word from the dojo!

Growing in Grace

Grace is undeserved favor. To get something for free that you did not earn and don’t deserve.

Grace is harder for us adults but children think nothing of it. If I brought a new bigscreen  Tv to my son Ben he would be very excited! He would call his nana and papa and tell them all about it. He would have no guilt about it and wouldn’t give it a second thought.

If I bought the same TV and gave it to my friend Brent it would be hard to make him take it. He would say it’s too expensive etc. If he did finally take it he would soon come to the conclusion that he needed to give me something as expensive. As he watched it he might even have a twinge of guilt.

God gives us free forgiveness and some of us receive it. That may be why God said you have to have faith like a little child. Some of us would sort of receive it but then keep doing stuff to earn it.  You know the R word (religion)

In the old testament it says that if you sold everything in your house and gave it in exchange for love it would be utterly despised. I think we should get childlike in regards to grace and grow in it. Realizing Gods gifts to us are pure grace frees us from trying to measure up to receive it and allows us to accept Gods best instead of begging on the fringes of what we think we deserve.

A free house in one day by prayer.

Sue and Mike had been living in a older trailer house for a long time. Libby and me talked to Sue about praying to God for a new house and as Libby put it, Quit believing for crap!

So we prayed that they would get a new house for free.

We said faith is being certain and not be wishy washy. So we believed. Not turning back remember lots wife, you know faith.

Anyway Big Mike came in the door that night and had big news! His mom was going to buy them a new house and furniture! free gatis! ( thats our God!)

22-25 the Message
Jesus was matter-of-fact: “Embrace this God-life. Really embrace it, and nothing will be too much for you. This mountain, for instance: Just say, ‘Go jump in the lake’—no shuffling or shilly-shallying—and it’s as good as done.

That’s why I urge you to pray for absolutely everything, ranging from small to large.

Include everything as you embrace this God-life, and you’ll get God’s everything. And when you assume the posture of prayer, remember that it’s not all asking. If you have anything against someone, forgive—only then will your heavenly Father be inclined to also wipe your slate clean of sins.”

Cyclops faith!

Seeing things one eyed is a lot of power.

God talks to me about being one eyed a lot. In your heart you have eyes. Jesus said if our eye be single your whole body is full of light. If your eye is double or evil pluck it out. Evil in translations means “dual.” Its where we get duplicitous, or not true.

He always talks about one eye as good and two eyes as evil. Like if your eye offends you pluck it out. It’s better to go to heaven with one eye instead of two. Childlike faith is one eyed faith. Not suspicious or wavering. Thats why the knowledge of good and evil is so bad. Since faith is the substance, wavering damages reality in the spirit world. It destroys.

Its interesting to see in the Bible that when God talks about you, he talks single eyed language. You can see this all through the scripture. Its not an accident that when he speaks about you he talks “one eyed,” but when he puts his judgment hat on for the wicked he talks two eyed.

I will guide you with mine eye upon you. Its kinda code for “I see you as good”.

It’s an inside joke kind of, I like the way God hides these things. They are fun to find.

I was taught by God to put my love goggles on the eyes of my heart. Its funny when God was telling me about it, I looked up and saw on the TV someone looking through binoculars. It says a mans heart colors everything he sees. Your heart is the gateway of the kingdom of God into this world. Whatever you allow on heaven is allowed on earth. We have the keys. We open and close all the doors through believing.

God says that by His stripes I am healed, and your five physical senses say you are not. God says you are righteous but you don’t feel that way. God says he became poor that you might become rich, and that the blessings of Abraham might come upon the gentiles through faith, but your bank account numbers are low.

Putting weight on both makes it impossible for God to help you. Why because your being double minded, dual, duplicitous, twisted, wicked or evil. It may not seem that way to you but God being righteous would do wrong to answer your prayer on shaky faith. He’s not going to violate the law for you or anyone, even though he may care deeply he still can’t break the law. Thats why Jesus talked about them having many widows during a famine but Elijah was sent to only one. God will step over the world to get to one person with faith. He’s anxious to do you Good. Give God something to work with and he will step in. 

He makes stuff out of faith, and as is your faith be it done unto you. Have you ever seen how Jesus went into one town and could do no mighty miracles because of their unbelief? A wavering man got nothing according to James. Jesus said to be careful how you hear because with the same weight you give, it will be measured back to you. The word has to get glory, to be put first place, first. It’s the purpose of all creation, LINE UP WITH THAT. Agree with heaven, disagree with earth. Agree with your spirit and disagree with your flesh. Give preeminence to the word above all else, disregard all other proofs and God’s creative “let their be light” speaking, creative power will invade your circumstances and make his will be done on earth as it is in heaven. When the word is put first place in your heart whatever reality that opposes that word will soon wither up and die. God showed me that your heart is like a light bright children’s toy. As soon as a white peg takes the place of a blue peg for example, then in your heart the programing is changed and reality will change for you. Your current situation is the blue peg and what God says is the white peg. Once you line up with the new kingdom reality has to change because of the open door you made in your heart. Your the boss here. Thats why mark 11:24 says you can have what you say. Don’t believe it yet? Why not set your heart on the rock of the word instead of your hearts current ideas.
God wants to back up his governors. He has to do it legally. Your faith makes it legal for him to act. Faith is being certain, not being wishy washy.

Our heart is kind of like a piece of software. It gets commands and judges them true or false. Yes or no: I/O. The results of these judgments all pile up until they make up your heart. Your heart is made up of what you believe.

This worked out great when you only knew good but now because of that tree of the knowledge of good and evil your eyes in your heart can swing back and forth. Since “as is your faith be it unto you,” this is a real problem. Whatever you believe for or allow in earth is allowed in heaven, whatever you disbelieve is dis-allowed in heaven. So our heart is the kingdom, the ruler, the boss. I asked God why this was and what I got back was that man was created to have the desires of his heart.

Abraham had a single minded heart, Abraham “considered not” his own body or the barrenness of Sara but considered God. Upright in heart. Single minded. This allows God to work, by considering God only we take the limits off Him. We give Him the needed authority to move in the earth on our behalf. If we consider “what is” we are frustrating Him who calls those things “which are not as though they were.” Since God makes stuff out of faith, when we look at God and then at symptoms, situations, etc. and mix the two we end up double minded, and double minded men shouldn’t expect to receive anything from God according to James. It’s fun to look at ourselves and our problems through the eyes of God. It’s a refreshing and liberating perspective rather than our own limited perspective.

Before the fall of man we only saw things one way; innocent, good. (they knew not they were naked) their heart did not know evil. Evil in translations means “dual.” Abraham had a single minded heart, Abraham “considered not” his own body or the barrenness of Sara but considered God. Upright in heart. That undoes the damage of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil. We judge God good.

So in order to get the heart fixed we need to look just to the light side, the promises and provisions of God so we can open good doors and get good stuff. A kingdom divided is brought to ruin. So we need pure hearts, one eye!

We need one eye. Not duo, not two, not evil. Looking unto Jesus. Etc. Put the weight where it is supposed to go. When you look up glory it reads weight. Thas why Jesus said to be careful how you hear with the measure you give it will be measured to you. Weight, measure, Glory. Now the verse that says he will meet all our needs according to his riches in glory, (weight)  through Jesus Christ our lord. Give the weight, (glory) to the words get the weight back. Measure for measure. (cept god always tries to give you as much as possible, you know shaken down, pressed together etc.)

The fool’s eyes are to the end of the earth, (duo, many places) but a wise man’s site is straight ahead (a narrow way).

Philippians 4:6 BBE: Have no cares; but in everything with prayer and praise put your requests before God.

Exchange your cares for faith. It’s a good trade.

this is as the waters of Noah to me

Isaiah 54:9 BBE: For this is like the days of Noah to me: for as I took an oath that the waters of Noah would never again go over the earth, so have I taken an oath that I will not again be angry with you, or say bitter words to you.

Needed some extra money, asked God and lightning struck

I asked God for some extra money and soon after got called out to check out some lightning damaged equipment. After checking out the equipment they gave me all the equipment! Most of it still worked. I got a HP large format printer which I gave to our Church. Several monitors, and macs. I had one I mac that didn’t work at the site but when I got it home it worked well.

Had about 45k worth of equipment if it was new. Well, coming home I managed to hit a low bridge and rip the top off the truck.  It was late and we were sleepy.  I asked God about it and he said that he gives stuff but sometimes the devil tries to add persecutions to it. Anyway truck was covered under my insurance so no biggy. Was nice to get all that stuff.  I figured it was seed for the sower.

Heres the badge I want to make

This may be silly but here is the badge I want to make someday. I like to think of myself as an agent. God sends me places to help people from time to time. Click on the picture to make your own or make an unusual gift.

I have the power!

In Romans 8 we read, I want to do right but I end up doing wrong, I don’t want to do wrong, but I end up doing it anyway. Who can help me escape this body doomed to death, (the illustration here is where they used to strap on a dead body on someone and let them rot along with the body as a torture, ya they did that in roman days)

Well our spirit man has got a body like that strapped on. It has taken over the heart with selfishness and its desires. When our spirit man is renewed by the new birth we have to get that heart completely back from the flesh but this is impossible without help. It says we were like the others following the impulses of the flesh and of the mind and were children of wrath like the others.

Ephesians 2:1-3 (Amplified Bible)
1 AND YOU [He made alive], when you were dead (slain) by [your] trespasses and sins

2 In which at one time you walked [habitually]. You were following the course and fashion of this world [were under the sway of the tendency of this present age], following the prince of the power of the air. [You were obedient to and under the control of] the [demon] spirit that still constantly works in the sons of disobedience [the careless, the rebellious, and the unbelieving, who go against the purposes of God].

3 Among these we as well as you once lived and conducted ourselves in the passions of our flesh [our behavior governed by our corrupt and sensual nature], obeying the impulses of the flesh and the thoughts of the mind [our cravings dictated by our senses and our dark imaginings]. We were then by nature children of [God's] wrath and heirs of [His] indignation, like the rest of mankind.

This is the nugget in the Romans 8 that helped me understand how I could be a Christian.

I was raised Baptist and we were given a long list of stuff to do or not to do but was never told how to accomplish any of it.

I love the baptists, but it says in the last days their will come a people who have a form of godliness but deny its power and to stay away from people like this. Well I would start out trying to do what was required but always failed at it. Soon I just gave up entirely but consented that they were right about what was right and wrong I just could not do it. Well now Romans 8 gave me a whole perspective. Here they were saying that I could have help. Jesus got rid of the power of the flesh over me on the cross and simply by trusting him to help me I could stop sinning. Now this was good news. I learned that instead of me having to be strong and stop I could just depend on Jesus power and he would make me stop. It says that its God at work in us making us want to do his will and then empowering us to do it. Jesus said that without him we could do nothing. This made it me and Jesus against the world instead of just me. The bible says that to those that received him to them gave he power to become the sons of God, even to them that believe on his name. It also says that Jesus would never fail us. This was the power I needed to obey. So it wasn’t all up to me anymore. We are super conquerers through him that loves us.

God has given us our stuff: God meets our needs through his promises

God has given us our stuff:

God has already given us all things that pertain to life and godliness through our knowledge of him. It would be irresponsible for a father not to provide for his children. God’s not like that, hes provided, hes a spirit who makes reality through words mixed with faith. Your standing on his words and faith now, or sitting on it or laying on it.

So God gives us stuff through his words. We mix it with faith and receive. (see my prayer answers below)

So when you have a need our spirit father wants you to get out the spirit words he spoke mix it with spirit faith, plant it like a seed and confidently wait for your material stuff.

Better and more trust worthy than UPS or Fedex.

You belief in Gods word and its integrity gives it substance, faith is the substance of things not seen or the title deed.

2 Peter 1:3-4 (The Message)

Don’t Put It Off
3-4 Everything that goes into a life of pleasing God has been miraculously given to us by getting to know, personally and intimately, the One who invited us to God. The best invitation we ever received! We were also given absolutely terrific promises to pass on to you—your tickets to participation in the life of God after you turned your back on a world corrupted by lust.

2 Peter 1:3-4 (Amplified Bible)
3 For His divine power has bestowed upon us all things that [are requisite and suited] to life and godliness, through the [[a]full, personal] knowledge of Him Who called us by and to His own glory and excellence (virtue).

4 By means of these He has bestowed on us His precious and exceedingly great promises, so that through them you may escape [by flight] from the moral decay (rottenness and corruption) that is in the world because of covetousness (wants or lust and greed), and become sharers (partakers) of the divine nature.

Mark 11:24 (Amplified Bible)

24 For this reason I am telling you, whatever you ask for in prayer, believe (trust and be confident) that it is granted to you, and you will [get it].
Mark 11:24 (The Message) Have the faith of God Jesus says. God decides it is and it is, he never backs up on it or wavers, we should not either because we are supposed to be imitating God like dear children.

Psalms 82:6 “I said, ‘You are “gods” you are all sons of the Most High.’

22-25Jesus was matter-of-fact: “Embrace this God-life. Really embrace it, and nothing will be too much for you. This mountain, for instance: Just say, ‘Go jump in the lake’—no shuffling or shilly-shallying—and it’s as good as done. That’s why I urge you to pray for absolutely everything, ranging from small to large. Include everything as you embrace this God-life, and you’ll get God’s everything. And when you assume the posture of prayer, remember that it’s not all asking. If you have anything against someone, forgive—only then will your heavenly Father be inclined to also wipe your slate clean of sins.”

Ya your like God, your in his image, Your not the God, but you are a God, your in his class of beings, Adam was the God of this world until he lost it to the devil. Jesus bought us back our position as the head and not the tail. We are supposed to operate like Jesus our example. The one who walked on the water. Jesus said that we would do greater works than he did. I know this sounds a little crazy, but thats exactly how you would cage a God like being who rules through faith. You would bar his believing. That comes through fear.

Psalms 82:6 “I said, ‘You are “gods”;
you are all sons of the Most High.’

We lived in a house for free for two years after praying for Gods help

I just got married to Libby and had a house but rented rooms out to students and really thought it best if we had a house by ourselves. We prayed that we would find a place we could live in that would not cost to much and possibly even help us. So we prayed telling God that we knew faith was being certain, not wishy washy. We then got a deal to take over Libbys brothers house sitting.

So someone paid us 249$ a month to live in a mansion with antique furniture for over two years. They also paid for water, gas, electricity and phone.

We lived just a short distance from Libbys parents in a very nice neighborhood and had a river in the backyard. Wow.

Grannies tax problem solved by prayer!

Granny who is 90 year old and half paralyzed in a wheel chair had a letter saying she owed taxes and they were going to take her house. She also had a letter saying she did not owe the money from the IRS. We prayed that God would take care of grannies tax problem in such a way that no one could say God did not answer this prayer. That God would do better than we could ask or expect. We said OK faith is being certain, not being wishy washy.

She was passing by a television station driven by her grandson and decided to go in and see the guy that handles compaints on the news. They asked if she could be on television right away. When the news opened up that night they did not even play the usual music but had our Grannie showing the letter on tv. Across from her was the senator from our district that had just arrived in the studio to be on the air. He was the co-sponsor for the IRS abuse bill. He promised to solve our grannies tax problems in front of all his voters. The television station then promised to follow up with her and they did. Now if someone told me thats what were going to believe God for I don’t know if I could believe it but we prayed for better than we could ask or even think. I also think that because that senator promised in front of all his voters he would have written a check for grannies taxes if he had to.

How I got married by prayer.

Well I was in my 30s no kids no wife and seemed like I was a worse position than ever to get married. I was kind of desperate. So I went to God, I did a study on prayer. I didn’t want to learn prayer from anyone else but God. I prayed that God would help me learn. Well I found out that if I prayed and did not doubt I would have what ever I asked for in prayer. So I prayed that God would give me a wife, 10 years younger than me, blue eyes, blond hair, with a good family, liked where I lived, super nice, about yea high.

I said I wanted to meet her not in two years, not in two months but in two weeks.

Ya thats what I said, sounds crazy but it said to ask for what I willed. Now I got to go with the no doubting program. Well then I had all kinds of thoughts on how stupid that was, how it wouldn’t work etc. I came against those thoughts with this, No now I did my part I asked, Gods going to do his part and I got to believe like I all ready received it. As long as I kept it in my heart like it was mine God promised it would happen and it was going to happen. Either this stuff was all true or it wasn’t. Well that week a girl came over and by the end of one week she said she would marry me. She’s 10 years younger than me blond hair, blue eyes, good family and one of the nicest people you will ever meet. I gave God two weeks he did it in one. That’s the kind of God we are dealing with here. Suuuuuuuuper faithful, Super nice, super Good. If you ever decide to cut through all the religious crap and find him you’ll find out too.

Jeremiah 29:13
“When you come looking for me, you’ll find me. “Yes, when you get serious about finding me and want it more than anything else, I’ll make sure you won’t be disappointed.” God’s Decree.

Letting God be God

Letting God be God

Its important to cast our cares on God and leave them there. He can figure them out and help us.

7Casting the [a]whole of your care [all your anxieties, all your worries, all your concerns, [b]once and for all] on Him, for He cares for you affectionately and cares about you [c]watchfully.(A)

Now once and for all, now thats nice, I like that. I heard a preacher say cast your keys to him, then don’t take them back. Like you give him your cares. Don’t take them back, if they come up again toss em back at Jesus and throw in a promise from the Bible. He said he would teach us how to take a real rest, and he is the Prince of Peace you know.

These guys make shoe promises, you stick them in your shoes. Ha! put one in your heart as well Click on the feet for their site.

Are you really a Christian? here is the test as given in the Bible.

Do you want the red pill or the blue pill?

I saw a scripture that said there was a test to see if you are a real Christian or just a poser. (2 Corinthians 13:5). The Living Bible, which is actually a paraphrase, puts it like this, “Check up on yourselves. Are you really Christians? Do you pass the test? Do you feel Christ’s presence and power more and more within you? Or are you just pretending to be Christians when actually you aren’t at all?” And

Romans 9-11. But if God himself has taken up residence in your life, you can hardly be thinking more of yourself than of him. Anyone, of course, who has not welcomed this invisible but clearly present God, the Spirit of Christ, won’t know what we’re talking about.

Well that was a stumper! I didn’t know what he was talking about, I didn’t feel Christs presence and power and I was always thinking more about myself than God. So I asked God to show me how I had gotten it wrong.
I found out it was started by knowing and putting faith in Gods promises which cleans up your heart and separates your flesh from your spirit. It says that by those promises you can become partakers of the divine nature or divine output. It says that we are sanctified by his word. then it is lived out by trusting Christ on a moment to moment basis. At first it was a spot check kind of thing, trusting Christ just when I was about to blow my top, but then grew into something more.

Ill give you an example of how this works. My boy Ben had messed up my cd rom on my laptop which at first made me mad. So I called him in and then trusted Christ right then when I saw him. As I trusted Christ the anger I had went away and it was replaced by calmness and I told him what he did wrong and let him know I loved him and wanted to show him the right way to handle the cd rom. What happened is I put the law of the spirit of life in Christ Jesus to work, or disciplined him in the anointing. I believe that this trusting Christ is not just supposed to be a spot check thing to help us when we need it but rather how we live our life. Thats why the scripture tells us stuff like “as ye received Christ Jesus so walk ye in him. This will allow the law of the spirit of life in Christ Jesus to go into effect and nullify the law of sin and death. It says “living more and more in you as you trust in him”. This is why Paul said I am crucified with Christ, I no longer live but Christ lives in me. And why he said I die daily. This goes along with abiding in Christ and taking up your cross.

I then put that with things like Abide in me and I in you and you will bear good fruit, and he that separates from me is cast off like a branch, he withers and men gather them and are burnt. Christ is what I consider my cross. By moment to moment trust “I put off my old man and put on the new man created in the image of him who created it.” It goes along with taking every thought captive to the knowledge (gnosco=intercourse) you have with his anointing. This vital trust is your new life that displaces your old man. Its a trust to trust deal and demands all your attention.

“The way to life–to God!-is vigorous and requires total attention.”
Matthew 7:14, the Message Bible

Its why Jesus is the way the truth and the life.

heres the verses about taking up your cross.

the Then Jesus called the crowd to himself along with his disciples. He said to them, “Those who want to follow me must say no to the things they want, pick up their crosses, and follow me. (GOD’S WORD®)

“Message” Matt 16:25- “Self-help is no help at all. Self-sacrifice is the way, my way, to finding yourself, your true self.”

in the Word of God, “For whoever wishes to save his life will lose it; but whoever loses his life for My sake will find it.”(NASB)

Its weird living a vigorous life of trust but it is quite amazing what happens.

I can tell you it’s weirder than the matrix sometimes. Its like reality is changed. Its kind of hard to explain. Imagine asking God a question and just as you do someone next to you talking to someone else answers your question in their conversation to someone else. . Then just as your thinking of a bible verse about armor of God you look up and see on the TV screen “total armor”. Then you get a message from the holy ghost to go over and talk to that guy, you talk to him and he says I was just asking God to send someone to help me, your like a angel. Then you leave ask God which hotel to stay at and you see a guy in front of a hotel waving you to come in. You go in the lobby and God tells you that you should talk to the security guard and she tells you that she was asking God to bring her someone that really knows the word. You talk to her and save her marriage. Then you stay in the annointing and lead the desk cleark to Christ. He cries accepts Christ, You go to Wal-mart, buy the desk clerk a bible, put it in a gift bag, and bring it back to him. While in the parking lot you see a guy that God tells you to give him a card about your bible prophecy web site (http:www.signsoftheend.blogspot.com) He says hes really interested in prophecy and he thanks you. That stuff actually happened to me. Not to mention all the miracles I have seen. Like when my wife got bit by about 200 mosquito’s and had whelps all up and down her arm. I prayed for her and we watched all the bites disappear in front of our eyes.

Now imagine stuff like that happing to you about every day then it starts occurring almost every hour and then almost every minute or so. Thats where this has lead me. Its like being in a different reality. Jesus said only those that throw their lives away for the Gospel will know what it is like to really live, and if you get your inside life clean you will see God in the  outside world. Its very fun to live by the power of Christ.

Edit I think its important here to put in that your feelings can lie to you and that you need to go by faith in the word of God. Feelings will come but they can’t be the yardstick we use. First comes the word then comes the feelings. I have learned the hard way that we always stick to the word first.

God gives pet names to the stars….Imagine how he thinks about you.

God was talking to me today about how in the bible it says God gives affectionate pet names to all the stars. They really are not alive and there are billions and billions of them. God said to me that if he gives affectionate nick names to the stars that are not really alive and there are billions upon billions upon billions of them, what do you think he thinks about you.

God cares for us affectionately

God cares about you affectionately (1 Peter 5:7 Amplified)

amazing prayer answer 50 dogs removed

We had a lady that had would come over and use our water cause all her utilities were out. She had 50 dogs in her house by East Texas Baptist University (E.T.B.U.) and she never cleaned up after them. The dogs were sickly looking, she could hardly feed them.
So we prayed 3 things for her.

We asked that God would

1. get rid of all her dogs
2. turn her utilities on
3. she would clean up her house.

We said we wanted it done in two weeks.

We prayed saying we know faith is being certain, not being wishy washy.
1. The next day she came over crying and said that 9 dogs had died that night of parvo.

Then about 10:00 AM the head law enforcement officer for the whole county came over and asked me if if they could remove all the dogs from her house. She had been arrested on a “dogs at large” charge and she had put me in control of the whole house. I said they could remove all the dogs. So this was the first day after our prayer and all the dogs were removed just as we prayed.

2. The next thing that happened was that that she got in the newspaper because she had so many dogs. People read the article and paid for her houses utilities to be turned on. That was the second thing we prayed for. it was the third day since we prayed.

3. On the fourth day after we prayed she got out of jail with the agreement that she would clean up her house and that it had to be inspected by the court.

Everything we prayed for came true within one week. Either Jesus was telling the truth about prayer or its all a bunch of b*&^. it can’t be one way or another.

If you really look for God the bible says you find out that God is a fountain of truth.

Selling the car

We had a old blue car we had been trying to sell. We decided we neeeeeded to sell it right away as that we were needing some cash. We prayed, “God we need to sell that car right away, we know that faith is being certain, not being wishy washy. We consider it now sold in Jesus name amen. Just as we said amen the doorbell rang. It was two people to buy the car! (of course)

If you ask and don’t doubt you will get what ever you ask for.

If you pray believe that you have all ready received it and you will have it.

How do you make a sandwich half the calories? Half a sandwhich!

I was about to eat a hamburger, I told God I need to loose weight. He told me well then you need to eat less of those. I said well by faith you could make it half the calories. Just then my child came up and wanted some of my hamburger. I gave him half, I turned and looked at my plate. I saw half a sandwhich and God said, “there you go”. I thought that was funny.

Later I was at the kitchen table and was wondering if the spirit I was hearing was indeed God, since I had been hearing a lot of stuff and was a little confused. As I asked that question on the tv a movie called “analyze that” (the sequel for the first one) and the guy said, how do you make a sandwich half the calories, half a sandwich. That gave me some chuckles.

I am superman in my fortress of solitude

Sometimes I think of Christ as superman, and he sometimes calls me spider man. I know that sounds silly, but he does. It says he affectionately cares for you. He jokes with me all the time.

I was at the kitchen table wrestling with a spiritual thing I wanted to get . I forgot what it was but it was eluding me. I thought about the verse “I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me”. I wondered if I could link up with Christs strength through faith to get this spiritual thing I was wrestling with. Just I asked that question the television popped on and there was some sort of explorer in arctic cave. He said I am superman in my fortress of solitude. I thought that was funny and took it as a yes to my question. I still don’t know how the tv just “popped on”.

The Light of Christ

Since God often talks to me in terms of comic books he reminded me of this eye that dr. strange used. Dr. strange could use it to see truth. I can use the light of Christ to see truth as well. it comes from two verses. one is that the anointing (which means Christ) teaches you all things and is the truth and no lie. The other comes from a verse that Paul said. He said shine the light of Christ on it and expose it for the sham it really is.

So I tried it, by faith I put the light of Christ on it and showed it for what it was. Lots of lies out their and light is the best way to fight the prince of darkness. If your a Christian try it out. If your not a Christian you will think this is wacky.

What this blog has,

This blog is about what God taught me. It will seem weird to most people. The bible says that carnal man cant understand spiritual stuff and that they are stupid nonsense to him. So most people wont understand this at all. Its mostly for me to keep up with my notes. If your interested though read on. If you want to make angry weird comments go somewhere else.
