Golden Calf #2.......deno......please share freely

     God had truly set free the children of Israel by His strong arm and by confidence in the blood of a passover Lamb. By Moses who represented Christ, and by the staff and the blood of the Lamb that together represented the blood of Christ and His cross. These were the combined powers from God and of God that saved them and set them free. These three powers mentioned were that which God used to deliver them from slavery in Egypt, from wrath, and translated them into the promise land which represent the Kingdom of God's dear Son.
      Now here is another point the Lord wants us to see in this light. After their so great a salvation, many of them became a confused people. Satan so twisted their perception of things in their minds that they began to murmur and complain about being free and some even questioned their salvation. They were refusing to exercise fresh daily faith in God's love for them and in His power and presence to care for them. So much so they wanted to go back to the providing system that was in Egypt. They even exchanged the truth of what set them free and  how they were saved with a lie. They exchanged the gospel of their salvation which was wrought by Moses, the wooden staff, and the blood of the Lamb, and put in their place, in the gospels place, a false doctrine of a golden calf, saying, this calf saved us from Egypt and nothing else. God burned in wrath over this.
     Now after they were on the other side of the Red Sea and after they saw their enemies overcome by the sight of the seas crushing weight that fell upon them, and even destroyed them, wouldn't you call them deceived and confused in their minds if they did not believe they were now saved and now set free, and if they lost sight of what actually saved them?  It was when their minds were lured away that they forgot what God used to save them. By this drifting away in their minds, they became open prey for the wolf, and the roaring lion, and for the hissing of the serpent and his lies and false doctrines.
      Are you confused in your minds what God used to save you and to set you free? We have been delivered from the power of darkness (Egypt) and we have been in the spirit translated into the kingdom of Gods dear Son (The Promise Land) Colossians 1:12-14. This spiritual inside us so great salvation, deliverance, and translation is as real in the spirit world within us, as was  God's so great a salvation that He wrought for the children of Israel thru Moses in the physical world from Egypt to the promise land that was flowing with milk and honey. How they were saved and how they were delivered was to never be lied about, or confused, or substituted with any other way, or method. Only those in Israel that WERE BLIND, that became confused in their minds and deceived, only those that Satan blinded in the minds could not see that they were now saved and free from Egypt's power and from slavery, and only they were able to be deceived with the doctrines of the golden calf that lied. 
     God had already saved them. God had already set them free. God had already fully displayed His Powers that saved them, yet they let all that slip away from their theology and substituted the power of all that represented Christ, with the works of their own doings and in a golden calf they made and glorified as the way and as the god of their salvation....VERY BAD MOVE.....
     Your good works may look as beautiful and as blazing as  glistening gold shaped into a golden calf. But friend if you  preach that your self righteousness and your good works saved you from sin, and from hell, and from Satan's power, and from the wrath to come, and from Egypt, you are DELUDED in your spiritual understanding and you are blind in your redemption perception and sight......
    The blood of our Saviors Cross is the every day unchangeable way. For the Cross of Christ is to them who are unsure, or who are blind, or who are perishing foolish, weak and not the way. But to us who know, who know, who know that God has delivered us from Egypt and translated us into the kingdom of His dear Son in the spirit into the land of glorious freedom, to us who see and know we are set free, IT (the Cross of Christ) IS THE POWER OF GOD THAT SAVED US THEN AND NOW AND FOREVER.....
    The gospel of our salvation is an HISTORICAL FACT AND  AN HISTORICAL TRUTH that can never be changed. Christ has already come in the flesh. Christ has already paid the price. Christ has already been to the cross and crucified, and God has already raised Christ from the dead. This is unchanging history and it's truth and power never changes and it is never, ever, ever to be replaced in our theology and in our hearts with golden calf's and their false doctrines. When you see and know that you are no longer in spiritual Egypt but are FOR REAL on the other side of the Red Sea, in glory, in paradise in your spirits translation within you,  no one can deceive or confuse you ever again ABOUT THE  GOSPEL OF YOUR SALVATION AND HOW YOU WERE AND ARE BEING SAVED AND HOW YOU GOT TO SUCH A HIGH HEAVENLY PLACE. (See & Read Ephesians 2:1-10)....deno....please share freely.

      

What Is Your Golden Calf #1?.....deno.....please share freely

     When God saved the children of Israel with His mighty hand and with the blood of the lamb in Moses hour, He certainly saved them and did so mightily. He used His own power. He used Moses who represented Jesus that was to come, and He used the sacrifice of a lamb and it's blood to save the children of Israel from God's judgement and wrath that was coming. Yes God saved them mightily. No question about it. They were before slaves in Egypt and NOW they were free. ....
      But here is a point The Lord wants us to see in this, in their freedom. They had a serious problem with WALKING IN THEIR FREEDOM, IN THEIR NEWNESS OF LIFE. God had set them free, YES. But they did not really appreciate their new found freedom. Many of them even wanted to go back to Egypt to the place of their former bondage. They even exchanged the glory of the God that saved them by His strong arm and by the blood of the Lamb, and put a golden calf in the bloods place and said it was that golden calf that saved them from Egypt and not God or the Lambs blood. THIS WAS A MIGHTY NO NO. The earth opened up it's mouth and swallowed many of them whole that did that. SO DON'T DO THAT. 
     Let us forever cleave to the blood of the Cross of Christ, for it is the POWER OF GOD that saves us all from all sin and from all wrath.....deno.....please share freely. 

    What is your confidence in????? His blood or in you and in your self righteousness.? Well one of these is of God, the other one is a golden calf type.

 

Oh The Blood Of Jesus.....deno.....please share freely

Friend, what is your hearts confidence in to save you from the wrath to come?????
 ...and the penitent man said, Lord be merciful to me a sinner. It is written of the Lord, that the Lord is RICH unto all and upon all who call upon His Name. It is written, that the Lord is RICH IN MERCY (Ephesians 2:1-10).....Some preach and think that God is poor, poor, poor in mercy. Such is far from the truth.
     When God preached the gospel of Christ in a mystery years ago to Moses and the children of Israel in Egypt, He told Moses and the children of Israel to put the blood of a lamb without spot, wrinkle, or blemish upon the door of there house, put all their hearts confidence in THAT BLOODS COVENANT SAVING POWER, stay inside that house, for  BY THAT BLOOD He (God) was going to SAVE THEM and deliver them from the wrath to come, God was having GREAT MERCY ON THEM AND THE BLOOD OF CHRIST WAS BEING GREATLY PREACHED IN A MYSTERY AND GREATLY REPRESENTED. 
........Again how was God going to save them? By that covenant blood. By that covenant blood, By that covenant blood. So it is with Christ and His blood. Where God sees upon the door of our hearts ( Christ blood, the blood of the NEW COVENANT that was shed for us ), that house and the one inside that house, that temple shall be spared and saved from the wrath of God to come. It's a covenant promise that God Himself swore and oathed. Why? Because God is totally honest, He cannot lie, and because God is rich in MERCY, because He loves us so dearly. ...and because the blood of Christ was shed for that very purpose, to save HIS PEOPLE from their sins and from the wrath of God..... 
......For since the blood of an actual lamb was sufficient enough to spare and to save ALL the children of Israel from the wrath of God that was poured out that night in Egypt, HOW MUCH MORE, HOW MUCH MORE, HOW MUCH MORE SHALL THE BLOOD OF CHRIST upon us and upon our hearts door save us from the WRATH OF GOD that is soon to come. As it is written. Jesus is our Peace with God, Jesus made peace FOR US (WITH GOD) thru the blood of His Cross; and again, Jesus has saved us from the wrath to come ....deno....Be Blessed.

Hebrews 13:20)...Now the God of peace, that raised again from the dead our Lord Jesus Christ, that great Shepherd of the sheep, THROUGH THE BLOOD OF THE EVERLASTING COVENANT (Agreement),  vs 21) make you perfect in every good work to do His will, working in you that which is pleasing in His sight through Jesus Christ, to whom be glory forever and ever...Amen

Solomon's Aged Contemplation......deno.....please share freely

...And King Solomon after many years had past, with loads of wisdom gathered in his heart and mind, and after most every pleasure of life tasted and experienced, with experiencing God in the mix; sitting down one day in his aged contemplation he wrote...I sum up all I have learned in these words of what is valuable and what is not. Looking back at his life he said. The greatest thing we can do in life is to Love and honor God, and keep His commandments. Solomon tasted the world and He tasted God. This was His final conclusion........Eternity is forever........deno.

Jesus said, "What would you have Me do for you????.....deno....please share freely

.....And Jesus said to the man, "What would you have Me do for you?" Yes the God of the Universe, the Lord of Heaven said those words to a man on earth and He meant every Word He said. God does not play with words. God does not lie. All of us in the original plan were created for God's good pleasure.  Jesus taught us, Fear not little flock, for IT GIVES YOUR HEAVENLY FATHER GOOD PLEASURE TO GIVE....TO GIVE YOU THE KINGDOM AND TO GIVE YOU GOOD THINGS...

     The scriptures say, Delight Yourself in the Lord and the Lord will give you the desires of your heart.......Jesus said, "If you abide/remain. live your life in me and My Words you believe and live by, you shall ask what you will and God shall do it".....The Father said, "Because you have loved righteousness and hated sin and iniquity, for this reason, God even Your God has ANOINTED YOU, He has anointed you with His oil of gladness and merriness of heart much richer than the worlds, even above the measure of your companions.....Hebrews chapter One.

     Friends it pays to love, serve, and obey God. He wants to answer our prayers. He wants to bless us. He said to that man, What is it you want Me to do for you??????..... Jesus told us , He that does what I have said and do say, He/She is the one that LOVES ME. Me and My Father will come to them and manifest ourselves to them. Be real in their lives...... Because he loves what I love and does what I do. He said, " I and My Father will come and live in him and make his house/heart and life OUR DWELLING PLACE, OUR HOME."  A home is for family togetherness, fellowship, sharing, chores, and supping and for joy filled activities...For those who love what I love, and those who do what I do, do not grieve the Holy Spirit but He delights in them and over them. He smiles upon them and their lives....These words are true, they are yes, and they are AMEN........deno.

Perfecting holiness and obedience in the fear and love of God.

Let us all learn more and more to submit to God and do His will.
Every day with Jesus is sweeter than the day before when we delight  ourselves in Him and obey His voice...

To Fight The Good Fight Of Faith Is to Wrestle With The Enemy OF Our Opposition Unto Victory.....deno....please share freely

....Peter ask Jesus could he as a natural man with a spirit within of a believing heart come walking to him on the water. This was a great faith feat. This was higher faith territory and ground. Jesus of course being the author and the developer of our hearts faith and believing said to Peter," Sure, Come". Peter took off and for a little while he was cruising high on Strong Faith that can give glory to God. Then came the opposition to his hearts faith as will always happen and Peter took his eyes off the Word of God which was Jesus and when he did that, in his eyes bigger and bigger became magnified his situation and problem and He began to sink which means to lose the faith fight, the faith battle. Satan is a master at magnifying our problems and troubles as to cause us to lose heart, lose faith and fall in the battle field of the good fight of faith. But when we learn to ignore the deceiver and his schemes and keep our focus on the promise of God, it is then we shall experience heavenly made victory over Satan, over his attacks, darts. and schemes.....We should be constantly hearing and reading the promises of God until they are so magnified in our inner eye and hearing that we, in every situation know the answer from God that He has already made available to us thru Hid given promise. And having done all to stand on the promise God has given, keep standing. Paul did not use the words WE WRESTLE for nothing or because it was so easy. No he knew to win we all have to fight the good fight of faith against the roaring lion......deno.

ONE MORE ROUND....Don't Quit........deno.....please share freely

     So your about to give up and throw in the towel because you keep falling and failing and it just seems hopeless. Well remember this. When Rocky, the great fighter was being whooped pretty bad and it looked like his enemy was going to win the fight. Down there on that ground, due to being fisted down and nearly knocked out, his spirit rose him and his aching body back up and he said, Hey Yo, I didn't hear the bell yet. ONE MORE ROUND....Well that's all Rocky's heart needed for that situation was ONE MORE ROUND and he took that round and what looked like was going to be his defeat a few minutes before, in ONE MORE ROUND he triumphed over his enemy.....
        And Peter said to Jesus, "If a man sins against me 7 times a day should I forgive him those 7 times. Jesus said to Peter. Peter, not only are you to forgive him these 7 times, but if he sins against you 7 times 70 A DAY you must forgive him". That is 490 rounds A DAY at the calling and mercy seat of forgiveness. 
      Now I know what I'm about to write, some may feud at it do to it's abounding grace. As it is written, where sin abounds, Grace abounds more. None the less it is the truth. ....Jesus said that about the 490 rounds A DAY in the ring of forgiveness, in part, because He and the Father by the power of the blood of the everlasting covenant in Christ blood and powerful redeeming sacrifice, are going to forgive us if we sin against the Lord 7 times 70 a day if we repentantly ask Him to. God would never demand of us what He would himself not do. The Cross proves this to us all. 
      The Cross of Christ proves to every one of us how far God will go to forgive us and save us. Which is easier to bear the pains of the whip and nails of the cross and taste the most painful death, or to forgive us and wash us clean in his own precious blood. One is much easier than the other, and Christ took and has pleasure amazingly, in doing them both. DAILY.......
      Forgiving others and Asking God to forgive you are both a part of our fellowshipping with Christ  sufferings. Forgiveness is the heart of the Cross of Christ purpose and message. So rise back up our friend. Go to the Lord and ask Him to forgive you. He will and get back into the ring of the growing pains in Christ that we all experience. One day you will bear the fruit of His good pleasure if you don't quit, don't loose heart or faith, and if you do not let the enemy deceive you to think that there is no hope for you, that is is all over. HOPE THOU IN GOD AND IN HIS GREAT LOVE WHEREWITH HE LOVES YOU.......Jesus Is Lord....ONE MORE ROUND IS ALL IT TOOK.......deno

P.S. We will never experience the greater  life and the greater joy Christ has for us unless we learn to really love and live for Jesus and obey His Word and do God's will consistently. The grace and blood of Jesus Christ was not poured out nor given  to approve any sin or a life of sinning. Christ blood and grace were and are all given to remove, erase, and to take away sin; not to ADD ON SINS TO OUR LIVES or to give us license to sin and sin and sin unrepentantly. Jesus never leads us in the path of unrighteousness for his name sake. He is Love. He is Holy. He is Sin Free. And yet being RICH IN MERCY He is the author of the 7 times 70 a day measure of forgiveness that He and we are to walk in daily if needed. Never give up. God is the God of Hope, THE REAL AND LIVING HOPE.....AMEN....read Psalms 1 and the 23rd Psalms.
