Whatsoever you plant THAT THAT THAT shall you also reap or harvest
back...So what is it that we desire to reap and harvest in our lives
future????
Is it?
Souls saved, then plant the seeds of the gospel into others and water the seed with love and intercessions.
Love, then plant love acts, words, and deeds.
Kindness, then
plant kindness.
Gentleness, then plant gentleness.
Mercy, then plant
mercy, be merciful.
Friends, be friendly.
Goodness, then be a cup full
of goodness to others.
Gifts, then give gifts.
Peace, then be a peace
maker and a burden lifter for others.
Joy and gladness, then sow
righteousness and flee from iniquity , see Hebrews 1:9.
Forgiveness,
then plant forgiveness.
You want God's eyes on you, then plant your eyes
fastened on Him.
God's undivided attention, then give God your
undivided attention.
You want to reap God doing what you ask, then plant
this in your spiritual garden; Obey what He ask you to do. Do What He
Says.
Give and it shall be given to you.
It shall be measured unto you
ACCORDING to the measure you measure out.
We want all of God and all
the fulness of God in our lives. Then we must deny self and forsake our
worldly desires and interest, take up the cross and follow Christ,
giving God our all and giving Christ our fulness. The list goes on and
on.....

Revealing Eternal Life's Everlasting Heartbeat.....deno.....please share freely
1 Corinthians 2:5) So that your faith should not stand in the wisdom of men, but in the power of God.
The Cross of Christ and his death was not in vain. The cross of Christ and his sufferings, his blood, his death, and resurrection are together the core, the heart, and the everlasting life's HEART BEAT of all them that are born of God and saved. Remove this truth. Remove this as the way. Remove this which is the true gospel of our salvation which is the unchanging foundation; remove it with the Law of Moses, or any other idea, or religion, or name contrary to the Cross of Jesus Christ and his blood, death, and resurrection purpose and power, and you will suffer a major spiritual heart attack. Remove the Cross of Christ and you remove the POWER OF GOD, the redeeming, saving POWER OF GOD unto salvation. (1 Corinthians 1:17-24)
Paul preached to those at the church of Galatia who left the grace of God unto another gospel of Law, of physical circumcision, and of works for their justification, he preached that they removed themselves from Christ and all that his Cross did for them, and that they had fallen from grace. Friends, that is suffering a major spiritual heart attack. Don't be deceived to do the same. Keep your spiritual heart beating strong and healthy every day. Keep in your heart the beginning of our confidence steadfast to the end that by the Cross of Christ and his blood God has redeemed and saved us, and that by his resurrection he justified us unto eternal salvation. Forever let this truth of Christ dwell in you richly every day.
Trust and obey this above rule and love one another as Christ loved us. In all we say and do, and as we grow in our obeying more of Christ Lordship, we do all good things and good works because we know and believe that Jesus loves us and gave himself for us at the Cross; And that God raised him from the dead FOR OUR LIVING REAL HOPE, FOR OUR COVENANT OF JUSTIFICATION BY FAITH WHEREBY WE HAVE PEACE WITH GOD, AND FOR OUR JUSTIFICATION UNTO LIFE. This is the unchangeable gospel. This is the right way, the right truth, and the everlasting heart beat of eternal life. Christ himself is our ALL.....deno.
Hebrews 3:14) For we are made partakers of Christ, IF WE HOLD THE BEGINNING OF OUR CONFIDENCE STEADFAST TO THE FINISH LINE......The beginning of our confidence is the foundation of our faith. This foundation was, it is, and it always shall be Jesus Christ and him crucified and raised from the dead. No other foundation can be laid but that which from the beginning has been laid.

Being Born Again.....Study #3.....deno......please share freely
Some
people mistakenly think that being born again, or being a new creature
in Christ is a long slow drawn out evolutionary type process or
spiritual transformation that takes like zillions of hours or days to occur. They
think or preach that it takes a long drawn out period of dying to self
so that the new man can be born and that is being born again. But that
is not. What they are talking about is fruit bearing. But I say that the tree has to be born first always and then afterwards as it grows up, then comes forth the fruit in its seasons. This is the tree, being born again. And this is the fruit of the tree, doing what pleases the Lord more and more..
When people preach that being born again is a long drawn out process of gradual change, they are thinking of behavior modifications and not new spirit birthing. But our good works are not what causes us to be born or born again. It does not work that way in our fleshes birth, and neither does it work that way in our spirits new birthing. The right good works come as a result of being born again or created in Christ Jesus (See Ephesians 2:8-10). What that is is learning to obey God more. What that is is growing in the grace and knowledge of the Lord. What that is is learning to say no to the flesh. What that is is walking in the spirit so that you do not fulfill the sinful desires of the flesh (Galations 5:16).
1 Peter 2:2) Peter hit it on the nail of right and proper revelation truth concerning this light and concerning being born again when he wrote. AS AS AS, notice As, not going to be, but AS...AS NEW BORN BABES, notice with me from the scriptures that they were already born again. They were already NEW BORN babes. He told these NEW BORN BABES...AS AS AS just born again babes, to desire, learn, hunger for the milk of the Word so that you can GROW THEREBY. So that you can more and more learn what God desires of you and to obey and please Him more. He said do that AS AS AS ALREADY BORN AGAIN NEW BORN BABES not some day way down the road if you get good enough gonna bees....
Dying to ones own will, taking up our cross daily, and learning to say no to the sinful flesh and yes to God's will, is decision processes and a day unto day LIFE LONG PROCESS. No new creature in all the creation, not in the natural flesh world, nor in the spirit world is born from ones will power alone, good chores done, or decision alone. Giving life to NEW BORN CREATURES. Giving birth to NEW BORN SPIRITS TAKES A SEED IMPLANTING AND MIXING AND LIVING CREATING POWER. The new birth is a NEW CREATION reality. A spirit man within us resurrection reality. IT IS A HOLY TRANSFORMATION CHANGE OF THE INNER MAN and HIS NATURE WITHIN BY THE SEED OF CHRIST CREATING GLORY OF THE GOSPEL OF JESUS CHRIST (See 1 Peter 1:23-25 & 1 John 3:9). It is something Jesus Christ does to us HIMSELF with He Himself being the seed of our new birthing and by his recreating power only in the gospel believed we are made NEW CREATIONS in our spirit man called by Peter the hidden man of the heart (1 Peter 3:4)
NOTE THIS..... We all know that there is a resurrection of the body and in that resurrection a great holy change takes place to the body risen as it was in Christ body. There is also a resurrection of the spirit of man, and in that resurrection a holy change takes place to the nature of that spirit risen as well and that is exactly what happens when we are BORN AGAIN, when we are created In Christ Jesus (See Ephesians 4:23,24). When the seed of the gospel recreates us, we become NEW SPIRIT CREATIONS in the hidden man. Our new image in the new creation is righteousness and true holiness as Ephesians 4:23 reveals. As Jesus and the Fathers Spirit are a HOLY, RIGHTEOUS SPIRIT, so are the spirits of the children who are born again by faith in Jesus Christ
None are born again by works of commitment, or by works of human determination, or by our works of righteousness or self holiness, nor by fastings, nor by self discipline (John 5:24) (2 Corinthians 5:16-17) We all, each and everyone the same, are born again by believing what 1 John 5:1,4) reveals...Whosoever believes that Jesus is the Christ IS IS IS IS IS Born of God, IS BORN AGAIN.Ephesians 4:23-24 in the spirit of our being. What we need to do is to more and more let the new holy spirit created man within rise up and rule. It is a NEW CREATION created by Jesus Christ in our spirit within (See Ephesians 4:23-24). As new Born Again spirits/babes we grow in spiritual strength from feeding off the milk unto the meat of the word until the inner child waxes strong unto stronger in the Lord and arises in strength and in greater and greater love for God and makes it his daily commitment and decision to please God as he takes control of the old man of his sinful flesh and denies the old man daily, takes up his cross or his calling, and do what Jesus has called him or her to do in love and in the light of the gospel.....deno....share freely.

Being Born Again.....Study #2. New revelations awaiting many of you in the light of this study.....deno......please share freely
We learned in our first lesson that being born again is totally of the spirit at present and has nothing to do with the flesh (John 3:5-6). Jesus said, He that made that which is without also made that which is within man(Luke 11:40). We learned that God is a Spirit (John 5:24) and that He is the Father of spirits (Hebrews 12:9,23). We learned that God created man by Jesus Christ with 3 distinguishable parts, spirit, soul, and body (1 Thessalonians 5:23-24 & John 6:63). We learned from 2 Corinthians 5:16-17 that from now on, those of us who are In Christ are to no longer only identify and know one another after the flesh. Nor are we to judge all things about another in Christ after the physical senses or after the physical appearance because we know now IN THE INWARD MAN (1st Corinthians 4:16), IN THE HIDDEN MAN OF THE HEART (1st Peter 3:4), IN OUR SPIRIT MAN WITHIN (James 2:26) we have become NEW CREATURES IN CHRIST JESUS IN THE SPIRIT OF OUR BEING. We are A NEW CREATION OF GOD IN AND BY JESUS CHRIST who re created our spirit, our inner man in His Spirit's holy image and holy likeness. That is amazing GOSPEL GOOD NEWS TRUTH....see (John 1:1-3 & Ephesians 4:23-24)). As Paul preached, he said,. Know we NO LONGER each other after our flesh or physical appearances. We now know one another after our inner man, after our spirit where in is the NEW CREATURE.
Listen carefully. He said we now no longer know Christ after the flesh but after the Spirit. We know His Spirits Nature is unfeigned great love. We know His Spirits nature is Righteousness, and we know His Spirit nature is True Holiness. So by our knowing what Christ is IN HIS SPIRIT, in the given light of these basic three attributes of HIS SPIRIT, we identify Him. We know Him, and and we know what is of Him. Love. Righteousness. True Holiness. That is our Masters Spirit.
Now I am about to share something here that I pray your eyes will be opened to see it. With this that was just said in mind, knowing that we, the believers in Christ Jesus are NEW CREATURES, not in our flesh or outer man; But we are NEW CREATURES born again in our inner MAN....IN OUR SPIRIT. (Now it is very important that we remember again that we now only know Christ after His Spirits Nature and not after what he looks like, or dresses like, or smells like in the flesh. We now only know Him thru His Spirit nature and being as we said is Love, Righteousness and True Holiness).
Now let us go and read what the WORD OF GOD SAYS ABOUT THE NATURE OF OUR SPIRITS THAT JESUS HAS RECREATED AND MADE NEW CREATIONS. What can we know about the nature of our NEW RE CREATED SPIRIT? It is by the nature of the attributes of our new spirits created by God in Christ that we are to know ourselves and one another by, In Christ, IN THE SPIRIT. Here in these scriptures to come we can now know one another after our spirit.
Ephesians 4:23-24)
vs23) And be renewed in the spirit of your mind. (Learn to now think after the spirit and not after the flesh. Be renewed in this.
vs24) And that you put on (Let be in control), THE NEW MAN, (the new man is the NEW CREATURE in the spirit of our being)...... NOTE THIS....(read again 2 Corinthians 5:16-18-21)this is how we are and how we are to see and know one another after the new creature in Christ, after the born again inner man, the spirit man within......And that you put on (Put in control of your life...see Galations 5:16-17) the NEW MAN which after God (God is a Spirit), which is like God it's Father in nature) CREATED IN RIGHTEOUSNESS AND TRUE HOLINESS. That's what Christ wants us to see in this light.
Friends in the flesh we all are sinful, evil, and devilish in nature (Read Romans 7:14-25). But in our NEW MAN, In the spirit man within, we are new creatures in Christ Jesus, who in the spirit of our being are not in no way like the nature of our sinful flesh. God has CREATED us who are born again, God has created us in our spirits in the nature and likeness of His Holy, Righteous Spirit. He created us after His Spirits image in Righteousness and True Holiness after the IMAGE OF IT'S HOLY HOLY HOLY FATHER. WOW WOW WOW WOW...When you see that GOOD NEWS GLORIOUS LIGHT, You to will say WOW WOW WOW..... So we may be ugly and awful and sinful in the nature and ways of the present sinful flesh, BUT IN THE REAL CHILD OF GOD WITHIN, IN THE HIDDEN MAN, IN OUR SPIRITS CREATED IN CHRIST JESUS AS WE JUST READ, CREATED IN RIGHTEOUSNESS AND TRUE HOLINESS, WE SEE A TOTALLY DIFFERENT AND TOTALLY OPPOSITE NATURE, COURSE, AND STORY. So this I say said the apostle Paul, In Christ, Walk by your New Holy Righteousness spirit and you will not fulfill the sinful nature of your flesh (Galations 5:16-17)(Read Romans 7:6-serve the Lord in your newness of spirit......Let us continue.
* * * * * * *
And we learned more.....We learned also that God is a Spirit. Angels are spirits (Hebrews 1:7,14). Demons and devils are spirits (Luke 10:17-20), and that our bodies without our spirit in it is dead (James 2:26 & Luke 8:49-56)). Now in this brief lesson I want us to learn something very important. The knowledge of this will help us understand things we need to see about our spirit that is born again in Christ.
Notice with me God, Angels, demons, and man, all are spirit beings. Man is a spirit. In God's eyes, man is a spirit living within a physical body. He made man unique I say. He made man to where He and man could live and fellowship together as two spirits become one spirit fellowship(1 Corinthians 6:17) inside these physical temples which He created to be a holy habitation, a holy dwelling place for God's Spirit with man's spirit, living, walking, supping, working together from within these physical bodies(Ephesians 2:21-21 & 1 Corinthians 6:17,19-20).
Man was created to where He would have the best of God's taste, presence and fellowship within, and also at the same time man could, with his physical senses, daily contact and enjoy the taste of the Lord that the Lord put of Himself in all the marvels of God in the physical creation and universe; and as mans population increased into the billions and trillions over the centuries of time, God who is always wanting to prepare a place for us for our fellowship with Him, stretched out the heavens, the galaxies so vast so that we would always have far far far more than enough room and space for all our eternity increasing numbers as we continued to be fruitful and to multiply into trillions over eternity.
Well sin and death put a serious damper on the original plan, but thanks be to God for the healing, redeeming, reconciling, restoring, saving power of the blood of our Lord and the exceeding great power of His Cross. It is written, I create all things new (Revelations 21:1,5). And, when the times of restoration and refreshing shall come from the presence of His glory (Acts 3:19-21). Amen.
* * * * * * * *
Notice with me the words we just read that Jesus said, He said, "Behold, I MAKE ALL THINGS NEW". Now that speaks volumes. Now with that in mind let's recall the scripture in our study from 2 Corinthians 5:17, it reads. "If any man (his spirit, we already learned that - John 6:63 & John 3:5-7), If any man's spirit be in Christ Jesus, he is...he is what???.....he is a NEW CREATURE OR A NEW CREATION, old things are passed away, behold, look, understand, take spiritual notice, ALL THINGS ARE BECOME NEW. Jesus, our Creator and our Redeemer has made something new. IT IS IN OUR SPIRIT. IN THE HIDDEN MAN OF THE HEART. IN THE ONE THAT LIVES BEYOND THE GRAVE.
Friends from the word of the Lord we have the Holy Ghost opening our eyes to the glorious reality that in and thru Christ, God has done something wonderful ALREADY to every mans spirit that is born again by faith IN CHRIST. It is not something that is going to occur in the future, but is a work of His Son's gospels new creating seed, and creating glory that has already been wrought within us, in our heavenly place within, in our spirit (John 3:5-12). I adjure by God and grace that every spirit that is born again in Christ Jesus is A NEW CREATURE, A NEW CREATION. That that spirit that is born again has already passed from death unto life in the power of it's own resurrection by the resurrection life of Jesus Christ implanted into it and with Jesus Christ (John 5:24) (Ephesians 2:1-10) and that born again spirit is as raised from spiritual death unto spiritual life everlasting even as Our Lord's very body was CHANGED AND TRANSFORMED AND RAISED & RESURRECTED BRAND NEW FROM IT'S PHYSICAL DEATH UNTO A NEW PHYSICAL CREATION OF PHYSICAL LIFE EVERLASTING untouchable by death or anything of deaths power.
Christ newly recreated/changed/transformed/resurrected physical body is forever and forever beyond the reach of death. All the destructive powers of Satan and of all the curse in all the universe, if it all came together and blew up in one big massive gigantic explosion right in the face of our risen Lord and His Resurrected Body, the explosion with all the dust of heaven and earth would dissolve and pass away, but our Lord and His Resurrected Body would be fully left in perfect tact, standing totally alive and totally untouched by that gigantic explosion, NOT EVEN SCARRED the least bit, with not one hair lost.
Did you know that the same exact power of God that God exerted from His eternal Spirits everlasting glory and eternal might that He injected and poured into Christ body that was dead in that grave and raise it from the dead to be forever new,, forever changed and transformed and totally UNTOUCHABLE by death, that same power of God God used when He by Jesus Christ recreated our spirits that are within us when we believed and mixed our hearts faith with the gospel (Hebrews 4:2 & 1 Peter 1:22-25 Ephesians 1:19-20). That exact same nature changing, conditional changing, life saving, spirit resurrecting, life sustaining, life keeping, exalting, spirit transforming resurrection Power of Jesus Christ was exactly what God poured into us, into our inner man, into our spirit man that is born again? (read Ephesians 1:16-20). pray to see and understand it.
All the spiritual power of all the law of sin and death, and all the power of Satan and of death, hell and of the grave itself, if it all came together at once against the spirit that is born again, and that Jesus himself made a new Creature in Christ, (in whose spirit Christ is it's seed and it's eternal everlasting spirit life power, life might, and force); if all those evil powers exploded in an all out spiritual attack against that regenerated born again spirit; it is good to note that by the same eternal Law of life and by the Law of everlasting life, might and power that God poured into Jesus' body when He changed it and raised it from the dead and created it untouchable by decay or death, evenso by the eternal everlasting power that is in the everlasting Law now alive and functioning in the being and in the changed resurrected risen body of Christ who is our life (Colossians 3:1-4); that born again spirit will go untouched by all those evil powers onslaughts.
All of them combined have not the power in themselves at all to destroy us. All they can hope for (NOTE THIS), is to try to deceive us in hope that we will turn against our own soul, against our own life, so that by our own choice or by our unbelief, whether willfully or by deception we choose to regurgitate Christ back out of us and out of our lives and future.
They (Satan and the demons) know that they cannot do this. They know we have to. So they war against out knowledge. Against our time. Against out daily agenda's. Against our understanding. Against our will, tempting our desires. Against our believing. Against out light getting and against our light seeing. Against out choices and decision making realms.
If we choose to walk away from Christ in unbelief or rebellion BY WILLFUL DECISION AND WILLFUL CHOICE, then in that decision we commit the sin unto death as written in (1st John 5:16). To do so is the main reason why Satan and all of his wicked deceiving spirits do all that they can do in their wrestling against us, against the church, and against our faith, hope, and love, and against the gospel truth to pervert the gospel. They do this gospel perverting so to make our faith powerless and non effective thru the believing of lies, so that we being deceived with another gospel or another hope, or another so called saving way, we commit spiritual hurts or spiritual suicide by the mix of faith with those lies and errors, walking away from Christ and the hope we have in Him by choice.
* * * * * * *
.NOTE.
As long as Christ himself is the eternal life force and eternal life glory of the spirit of he that believes, that spirit shall never taste of death again just as Christ eternal Spirit and His resurrected body can never decay, die, or taste of death ever again. But if the believer becomes deceived as Eve was as to believe a spiritual lie that killeth making him regurgitate Christ and leave Christ; or as Adam, who with his eyes wide open willfully and willingly chose the path of disobedience and severance unto death. That once believing soul, for whatever the reason or the how for his unbelief and departure from Christ, he, eating of the forbidden fruit of unbelief again, to the degree of the emptying from himself Christ and grace, then Christ who was his life, being now severed from the branch,( and only by the branches own choice), that branch then cuts ITSELF OFF and falls from grace. He falls from life back into spiritual death. He falls from being Risen with Christ to falling fully under the Lords feet. That branch then is no longer any good. It will be burned by the word of the Lord in the day God burns up the chaff and the broken off branches with unquenchable fire. *See Hebrews 1:13 & John 15:4-6). I know these are strong, tough words but they must be penned.
Supporting scriptures: Hebrews 10:23-39,
Friends, that is why Jesus taught us and warned us and admonished us with his words and with his blood, for us to REMAIN AND ABIDE IN HIM (John 15:4-6 & Colossians 1:20-23) Be not removed from Jesus. The consequences for leaving Him is Satan's fate falling upon you.... There exist no other hope unto the saving of the spirit, soul, and the body outside the Cross of Jesus Christ and his everlasting resurrection. All other religions & theories are fantasies and fables of demons, and of deceiving devils given to the wondering souls and minds of men to mislead. BELIEVE IN CHRIST. REMAIN IN CHRIST. LOVE CHRIST. CLEAVE TO CHRIST. OBEY CHRIST AND LOVE ONE ANOTHER AS CHRIST LOVED US.......deno.......please share freely.

But in our NEW MAN, In the spirit man within, we are new creatures in Christ Jesus, who in the spirit of our being are not in no way like the nature of our sinful flesh. God has CREATED us who are born again, God has created us in our spirits in the nature and likeness of His Holy, Righteous Spirit.

WOW WOW WOW WOW...When you see that GOOD NEWS GLORIOUS LIGHT, You to will say WOW WOW WOW..... So we may be ugly and awful and sinful in the nature and ways of the present sinful flesh, BUT IN THE REAL CHILD OF GOD WITHIN, IN THE HIDDEN MAN, IN OUR SPIRITS CREATED IN CHRIST JESUS AS WE JUST READ, CREATED IN RIGHTEOUSNESS AND TRUE HOLINESS, WE SEE A TOTALLY DIFFERENT AND TOTALLY OPPOSITE NATURE, COURSE, AND STORY. So this I say said the apostle Paul, In Christ, Walk by your New Holy Righteousness spirit and you will not fulfill the sinful nature of your flesh (Galations 5:16-17)(Read Romans 7:6-serve the Lord in your newness of spirit......Let us continue.

Man was created to where He would have the best of God's taste, presence and fellowship within, and also at the same time man could, with his physical senses, daily contact and enjoy the taste of the Lord that the Lord put of Himself in all the marvels of God in the physical creation and universe; and as mans population increased into the billions and trillions over the centuries of time, God who is always wanting to prepare a place for us for our fellowship with Him, stretched out the heavens, the galaxies so vast so that we would always have far far far more than enough room and space for all our eternity increasing numbers as we continued to be fruitful and to multiply into trillions over eternity.
Well sin and death put a serious damper on the original plan, but thanks be to God for the healing, redeeming, reconciling, restoring, saving power of the blood of our Lord and the exceeding great power of His Cross. It is written, I create all things new (Revelations 21:1,5). And, when the times of restoration and refreshing shall come from the presence of His glory (Acts 3:19-21). Amen.
* * * * * * * *
Notice with me the words we just read that Jesus said, He said, "Behold, I MAKE ALL THINGS NEW". Now that speaks volumes. Now with that in mind let's recall the scripture in our study from 2 Corinthians 5:17, it reads. "If any man (his spirit, we already learned that - John 6:63 & John 3:5-7), If any man's spirit be in Christ Jesus, he is...he is what???.....he is a NEW CREATURE OR A NEW CREATION, old things are passed away, behold, look, understand, take spiritual notice, ALL THINGS ARE BECOME NEW. Jesus, our Creator and our Redeemer has made something new. IT IS IN OUR SPIRIT. IN THE HIDDEN MAN OF THE HEART. IN THE ONE THAT LIVES BEYOND THE GRAVE.
Friends from the word of the Lord we have the Holy Ghost opening our eyes to the glorious reality that in and thru Christ, God has done something wonderful ALREADY to every mans spirit that is born again by faith IN CHRIST. It is not something that is going to occur in the future, but is a work of His Son's gospels new creating seed, and creating glory that has already been wrought within us, in our heavenly place within, in our spirit (John 3:5-12). I adjure by God and grace that every spirit that is born again in Christ Jesus is A NEW CREATURE, A NEW CREATION. That that spirit that is born again has already passed from death unto life in the power of it's own resurrection by the resurrection life of Jesus Christ implanted into it and with Jesus Christ (John 5:24) (Ephesians 2:1-10) and that born again spirit is as raised from spiritual death unto spiritual life everlasting even as Our Lord's very body was CHANGED AND TRANSFORMED AND RAISED & RESURRECTED BRAND NEW FROM IT'S PHYSICAL DEATH UNTO A NEW PHYSICAL CREATION OF PHYSICAL LIFE EVERLASTING untouchable by death or anything of deaths power.
Christ newly recreated/changed/transformed/resurrected physical body is forever and forever beyond the reach of death. All the destructive powers of Satan and of all the curse in all the universe, if it all came together and blew up in one big massive gigantic explosion right in the face of our risen Lord and His Resurrected Body, the explosion with all the dust of heaven and earth would dissolve and pass away, but our Lord and His Resurrected Body would be fully left in perfect tact, standing totally alive and totally untouched by that gigantic explosion, NOT EVEN SCARRED the least bit, with not one hair lost.
Did you know that the same exact power of God that God exerted from His eternal Spirits everlasting glory and eternal might that He injected and poured into Christ body that was dead in that grave and raise it from the dead to be forever new,, forever changed and transformed and totally UNTOUCHABLE by death, that same power of God God used when He by Jesus Christ recreated our spirits that are within us when we believed and mixed our hearts faith with the gospel (Hebrews 4:2 & 1 Peter 1:22-25 Ephesians 1:19-20). That exact same nature changing, conditional changing, life saving, spirit resurrecting, life sustaining, life keeping, exalting, spirit transforming resurrection Power of Jesus Christ was exactly what God poured into us, into our inner man, into our spirit man that is born again? (read Ephesians 1:16-20). pray to see and understand it.
All the spiritual power of all the law of sin and death, and all the power of Satan and of death, hell and of the grave itself, if it all came together at once against the spirit that is born again, and that Jesus himself made a new Creature in Christ, (in whose spirit Christ is it's seed and it's eternal everlasting spirit life power, life might, and force); if all those evil powers exploded in an all out spiritual attack against that regenerated born again spirit; it is good to note that by the same eternal Law of life and by the Law of everlasting life, might and power that God poured into Jesus' body when He changed it and raised it from the dead and created it untouchable by decay or death, evenso by the eternal everlasting power that is in the everlasting Law now alive and functioning in the being and in the changed resurrected risen body of Christ who is our life (Colossians 3:1-4); that born again spirit will go untouched by all those evil powers onslaughts.
All of them combined have not the power in themselves at all to destroy us. All they can hope for (NOTE THIS), is to try to deceive us in hope that we will turn against our own soul, against our own life, so that by our own choice or by our unbelief, whether willfully or by deception we choose to regurgitate Christ back out of us and out of our lives and future.
They (Satan and the demons) know that they cannot do this. They know we have to. So they war against out knowledge. Against our time. Against out daily agenda's. Against our understanding. Against our will, tempting our desires. Against our believing. Against out light getting and against our light seeing. Against out choices and decision making realms.
If we choose to walk away from Christ in unbelief or rebellion BY WILLFUL DECISION AND WILLFUL CHOICE, then in that decision we commit the sin unto death as written in (1st John 5:16). To do so is the main reason why Satan and all of his wicked deceiving spirits do all that they can do in their wrestling against us, against the church, and against our faith, hope, and love, and against the gospel truth to pervert the gospel. They do this gospel perverting so to make our faith powerless and non effective thru the believing of lies, so that we being deceived with another gospel or another hope, or another so called saving way, we commit spiritual hurts or spiritual suicide by the mix of faith with those lies and errors, walking away from Christ and the hope we have in Him by choice.
* * * * * * *
.NOTE.
As long as Christ himself is the eternal life force and eternal life glory of the spirit of he that believes, that spirit shall never taste of death again just as Christ eternal Spirit and His resurrected body can never decay, die, or taste of death ever again. But if the believer becomes deceived as Eve was as to believe a spiritual lie that killeth making him regurgitate Christ and leave Christ; or as Adam, who with his eyes wide open willfully and willingly chose the path of disobedience and severance unto death. That once believing soul, for whatever the reason or the how for his unbelief and departure from Christ, he, eating of the forbidden fruit of unbelief again, to the degree of the emptying from himself Christ and grace, then Christ who was his life, being now severed from the branch,( and only by the branches own choice), that branch then cuts ITSELF OFF and falls from grace. He falls from life back into spiritual death. He falls from being Risen with Christ to falling fully under the Lords feet. That branch then is no longer any good. It will be burned by the word of the Lord in the day God burns up the chaff and the broken off branches with unquenchable fire. *See Hebrews 1:13 & John 15:4-6). I know these are strong, tough words but they must be penned.
Supporting scriptures: Hebrews 10:23-39,
Friends, that is why Jesus taught us and warned us and admonished us with his words and with his blood, for us to REMAIN AND ABIDE IN HIM (John 15:4-6 & Colossians 1:20-23) Be not removed from Jesus. The consequences for leaving Him is Satan's fate falling upon you.... There exist no other hope unto the saving of the spirit, soul, and the body outside the Cross of Jesus Christ and his everlasting resurrection. All other religions & theories are fantasies and fables of demons, and of deceiving devils given to the wondering souls and minds of men to mislead. BELIEVE IN CHRIST. REMAIN IN CHRIST. LOVE CHRIST. CLEAVE TO CHRIST. OBEY CHRIST AND LOVE ONE ANOTHER AS CHRIST LOVED US.......deno.......please share freely.

Updated..Being Born Again...Study # 1)....by deno...please share freely
Before you read this writing and study please pray this prayer.
Heavenly Father in Jesus Name I praise You. I come to you right now asking you to open my eyes that I may see and understand Your bread in this light that I am about to read. Holy Spirit quicken this light to me. Cause me to see what the Spirit of the Lord is teaching and unveiling in this study. Build me up in its truth and goodness. For this I give you praise and thanksgiving Father. Amen....
Being born again or born of God is a new creation reality. It is not of the flesh so get your mind off of that, but of the spirit of man, put your thinking now on that. Put your mind in this study on your real you, your inner self, YOUR SPIRIT, the man or the part of you that lives on beyond the grave. (You do have one you know, that is (a spirit) and he (your spirit) lives forever.
Just as the scriptures say that we must believe that God exist and that God is a Spirit (Hebrews 11:6 & John 4:24), even so we must believe we to are and have a spirit within(James 2:26). You must believe that you have a spirit and that God is the Father of spirits and God rewards the spirits that diligently seek Him and that God longs for His children to worship Him in spirit and in truth, see Hebrews 12:9,23) (2 Corinthians 7:16-17).
Spirits walk, and talk. and commune with spirits in similar ways like flesh to flesh do. Our spirit was created by the Lord in the beginning, to be the spiritual thing and the heavenly place in man, within us, within these bodies where God, who is a Spirit, would fellowship and talk with us and dwell with us by His Spirit in our inner man (John 4:24)....that Christ may dwell in your heart by faith....and again , it is written, Strengthened with all might By God's Spirit in your spirit, your inner man....REMEMBER? Ephesians 3:16-17. Jesus had unhindered, unquenched, ungrieved comminion, conversation, and communication with the Spirit of His Father within his body when on earth. See John 14:19,23, John 5:19-20,30.

Jesus said YOU MUST BE BORN AGAIN. Jesus Said, that which is born of the flesh is flesh and that which is born of the Spirit is spirit (John 3:6). Jesus said this is a heavenly thing, it is the spirit of man that is the Lord's primary focus in (John 3:9-12). It is about the SPIRIT IN MAN, in us, not our flesh (See 1 Thessalonians 5:23 mans 3 parts).
Jesus said, A man must be born again. Jesus called our spirit, A MAN. Paul called our inside self, our spirit "THE INNER MAN "(2 Corinthians 4:16). Peter called our spirit, the hidden man of the heart (1 Peter 3:4). Your spirit must be BORN AGAIN Jesus said (meaning recreated). He did not say your spirit needs to be born. It already existed (See James 2:26). (John 3:3,5) He said it needed to be BORN *AGAIN*. Again being the key point, meaning changed, meaning recreated. Changed and transformed in it's own resurrection. The NEW BIRTH, Being BORN AGAIN is John 5:21, 24,26 fulfilled of and IN THE SPIRIT OF MAN. Jesus was not speaking here of the bodies resurrection in the end of time. He said of this scripture CONCERNING THE TIME FOR THIS, he said, The TIME for this resurrection NOW IS. IS RIGHT NOW. That is the REDEMPTION OF OUR SPIRIT.
Paul wrote in 2 Corinthians 5:16 that from now on, those of us who are In Christ, we do not identify or know one another anymore after the flesh, referring to/bringing our focus to/our attention to knowing one another after the spirit, after OUR INNER MAN, OUR SPIRITS newly born again. Then he said in vs 17 the reason why. He wrote,... for if any man (meaning the hidden man of the heart 1 Peter 3:4, mans spirit, see also James 2:26, and Luke 8:54-55), for if any man be IN CHRIST, he (his inward man, his hidden man of his heart, his spirit) is A NEW CREATURE or NEW CREATION. He said of this new man that all of it's former things are gone and everything of this man is new and all this new is of God. 2 Corinthians 5:17. Paul was in the spirit speaking after that which is born of the Spirit for such is spirit and not flesh. Did you get that last sentence before this one? Very important light there just spoken. If not, then go back and read that sentence one more time.
Now we all know that Paul is not referring to the outer man above as a new creation for that is evident. We all have the same ol flesh, the same ol wrinkles, or scars, or aging physical body after we are saved and born again as we had when we were living in darkness separated from He that is the light of life. It, the bodies re birthing will take place, yes, but that will take place by the power of God later down the road in the future when it is changed in the twinkling of an eye at the coming of the Lord and in the resurrection as spoken of in (1 Thessalonians 4:14-18 & 1 Corinthians 15:50-54 & Philippians 3:20-21). No Paul is heavenly minded (John 3:12). Paul in this new creation born again light, is spiritual now in his wisdom and not carnal. Paul is inward man minded. Paul is out of the mind of the flesh and in the spirit. Paul is walking in the spirit not in the flesh (Galations 5:16-17). Paul is inside spirit minded as Christ was (See John 6:63). We need to be so as well or we will fall short of understanding much of Paul's revelations as revealed in Ephesians 2:1-10) and of other SPIRITUAL TEACHINGS that the flesh does not profit from.
Paul preached, If any man be In Christ he is a new CREATURE. He that is a new creature in Christ, scriptures have been fulfilled INSIDE HIM (Important Point There). He, in his inner man, in the heavenly place of the kingdom of God within, in the hidden man of his heart has been BORN AGAIN, changed in his spirit man, re created in his invisible thing, in his invisible man, in his spirit (See Colossians 1:14-17). The scriptures that have been fulfilled in him, fulfilled on the INSIDE OF HIM IN HIS INNER MAN, IN HIS SPIRIT are these. Read them, study them all, John 3:3,5,6 & John 5:24 & John 6:63 & 2 Corinthians 5:17 & Galations 6:14-16 & Ephesians 2:1-10 & Ephesians 4:23-24 & Colossians 1:12-14 & Colossians 2:10 & Colossians 3:1-4 & Colossians 3:10-11 & 1 John 5:1-4 ( John 3:1-2 & Colossians 1:27).
Well now that we have you inside minded. Now that we have wet your spiritual appetite. Now that we have you spirit of man within minded, we will stop this section of the light and ask that you study the scriptures listed all thru this writing. Familiarize yourself to them. Feast on them until their light dawns.
Friends Jesus taught us about heavenly things. He opened our minds to Spirit and spiritual realities, things and about spirit beings. He even told us that GOD IS A SPIRIT, that Angels are spirits, that demons are spirits. And He taught and has revealed to us that Man He created with 3 parts as revealed in 1 Thessalonians 5:23-24, it reads.....And the very God of peace sanctify all your parts; and I pray to God that your whole spirit, soul, and body be preserved blameless to the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ. vs 24) Faithful is the Lord that has called you, he will do this.
Friends we all are spirit beings. We presently live inside these physical bodies. Our spirits are the mystery life force to the blood, James 2:26. Our soul is the place in us of our minds and emotions and reasoning faculties. If the spirit is not saved. If the spirit is never born again or re created in Christ Jesus which is always God's creating place so to speak (See John 1:1-3), then ALL IS LOST FOREVER of that person. That is why Jesus so seriously emphasized that YOU MUST, YOU MUST, YOU MUST BE BORN AGAIN.
All of Christ glory that they beheld of him (John 1:14) when he walked on earth that made him stand miles and miles above all the rest, was He and the Fathers Heavenly Spiritual Realities so Greatly Manifested, and their Spirit Power, their Spirit Light, their Spirit Love, their Spirit Holiness, Mercy, Compassion, Wisdom, Power and Glory thru the GREAT ANOINTING OF THE HOLY SPIRIT THAT WAS WITHIN AND UPON JESUS WITHOUT MEASURE (John 3:34 & Acts 10:38 & John 14:10)....and this God, who is a Spirit. Our God, our Almighty Heavenly Holy Father has done a great thing of Himself to OUR SPIRITS that are born again in Christ Jesus. Stay tuned to find out. Much more to come about this very subject......Glory to God in Jesus Name, Amen......Love you In Christ Jesus......deno.....please share freely

Defining The FREE GIFT of SALVATION. What do we mean? ....deno....please share freely
1st Corinthians 2:9-16) vs 10) but God has revealed THESE THINGS to us by His Spirit.....vs 12) Now we have not received the spirit of the world, but we have received the Spirit which is of God so that we can learn, that we may know THE THINGS that God has FREELY GIVEN us in Christ......
The gift of salvation and of the Holy Spirit together, both of them are two of the FREELY GIVEN to us things that we read about in the above scriptures. They were paid for in full by the price of Christ blood, to be received freely by us this way...but let him ask in faith nothing doubting measure. For the doubting should not think that they shall receive anything from the Lord (James 1:5-8). Unbelief and doubt are sins of the heart, spiritual sins that are worse, more robbing, and more dangerous to us than all the sins of the flesh.. See Romans 14:23 & Mark 16:15-16 and John 8:24.
The purchase price for these two precious gifts was made and paid for in full in the ransom transaction spoken of by Christ in (Matthew 20:28). Christ gave his life and blood in the ransom transaction cost and price payment, leaving nothing else necessary for the rescue except to join him by faiths attachment to His Hard RANSOMING Labors Upon The Cross, and to unite yourself with him in the glory of His Resurrection. By this faith attachment and by this faith connection Paul preached I was crucified with Christ and Risen with Christ. All this he knew was alive in his inward part, in his inner man, in his heavenly thing, or part/place within him in the spirit, in the hidden man of the heart that God made alive with Christ and rose again/raise from the dead in the new birth with Christ as John 5:24 & Ephesians 2:1-10 & Colossains 3"1-4 teaches us)..
No one in heaven argues against the price paid by Christ. It was a price paid that no human naturally can understand or calculate. It reaches eternal scales and everlasting covenant measurements. It reaches and redeems the very heavenly thing itself that is within man, his spirit, then secondly renewing his soul, and finally resurrecting his body in the coming resurrection...
When Jesus was talking to the Samaritan woman, He said if you knew the GIFT of God and who it is that says to you, GIVE me to drink; you would have ASKED HIM and He would have GIVEN you living water. We do not earn the living water. It is freely given being already paid for in full in the price of Christ blood. Jesus said...and I will ASK the Father and He shall GIVE you another Comforter. Some things are received by the work of faith in the asking but that does not change the fact that the gift was already purchased and paid for and it is freely given.
All gifts have had a buyer/a purchaser and all gifts have a receiver. One pays for it. The other receives the gift already paid for with thanksgiving. We receive the gifts of God one and all by His giving and by our asking and receiving in faith . Whatever Jesus paid for in the blood of his cross at Calvary is FREELY GIVEN lest the purchase was fraudulent and lacking in the needful price. But lacking here was impossible. For God himself who is worthy of far more greater honor than all He has created, He himself paid the awesome price with His own bodies blood. THE BUILDER OF ALL THINGS HIMSELF PAID THE PRICE WITH HIMSELF AND HIS BODY AS THE PRICE AND AS THE PAYMENT. Believe God in this light. He left nothing lacking in the price He paid, It was far far far more than enough. Actually He made a great over payment. He did so that no accuser could justifyingly win his accusing case against even the chiefest of sinners that called upon the name of the Lord. By the over price that God Himself paid, all of hells accusers and its gates could not prevail against them whose faith in Christ is accounted unto them as their righteousness unto eternal life by faith in Jesus who saved them thru His Cross and raised them unto God when he rose again and ascended back unto the Father in the Throne. For He bought them with His Own Life and Blood Price, the price of himself. We open our hearts to Christ believing/asking saying Lord I know and believe in the love you have for me beholding the GREAT PRICE YOU PAID FOR ME THRU THE CROSS. Come Into My Heart and make me Your Home. Save me from my sins. Teaching me your love that i may live the life of the love of God and faith.. He will if we in faith ask......
If we believe that Jesus died for our sins and rose again for our living hope and for our justification, this living and constant faith is our new covenant constant righteousness...it causes Gods Word to re create us in the spirit, in the hidden man of the heart by the mix of our hearts faith with the gospel. Like unto the seed of man, when it successfully mixes with the egg in the mothers womb for the conceiving of a new child, even so it is with our hearts, our spirits, when our hearts faith mixes itself with the planted imperishable/incorruptible seed of the gospel of Jesus Christ (See Hebrews 4:2-3 & 1st Peter 1:23-25). By this our spirit heavenly profits, the hidden man of the heart is born again, recreated in Christ Jesus in righteousness and in true holiness after the image of the Holy Spirit it's Father (See 2 Corinthians 5:17. Ephesians 4:24,, Galations 5:15.)....Then after we are saved, after we have passed from death unto everlasting life in the spirit- John 5:24 & Ephesians 2:1-10), then after we have been born again in the spirit (Ephesians 1:12-13), we go on to our own personal Pentecost as the believing disciples did who first trusted in Christ, when they went to the upper room to receive what Christ said to them would be the other Comforter freely given because they first trusted in him John 14:16-17). Then once we have become in the spirit new creatures in Christ, and then afterwards have become One Spirit with the Lords Holy Spirit (1st Corinthians 6:17), we are to learn more and more to walk in newness of life (Romans 6:4,11) in the fellowship Christ suffering (Philippians 3:8-14). A fellowship paid for us to have with the Father and with His Son Jesus Christ in love under grace but not under the Law. In glorious freedom and fellowship with God as our Father, even much more than Abraham had who knew not of the Law of Moses but the glory of God responding to the Law of faith that well pleases God above all the Law of Commandments...For the Law worketh wrath, but faith is always justifying in the sight of God all those who really have it. For not all men have faith.
Friends Jesus said salvation/living water/the Holy Spirit are all three gifts given to us from the Father. They were all paid for in full by the price of the sacrifice of Christ, the pearl of incredible price, for us to have each of them freely given to us by the only price we have to pay, which is the mix of faith which is our new covenant right and righteousness to receive them......
Jesus told the woman of Samaria, for the gift JUST ASK....Jesus said, since you who are evil know how to GIVE GOOD THINGS to your children, how much more will your heavenly Father GIVE THE HOLY SPIRIT to them that ASK HIM to. Asking in faith nothing doubting is one of the toughest heavenly things for people to do (James 1:5-8). But it is this kind of faith that God has made to be our new righteousness to receive all He has freely given and has in store for us given us freely in Christ ( 1st Corinthians 2:12-16 & James 1:5-8 & Mark 111:23-25).......deno.
Comparing spiritual things with spiritual.....1st Corinthians 2:12-16....we speak in the Spirit of the heavenly things themselves.
And the meat of the Word belongs to them who are strong...
The gift of salvation and of the Holy Spirit together, both of them are two of the FREELY GIVEN to us things that we read about in the above scriptures. They were paid for in full by the price of Christ blood, to be received freely by us this way...but let him ask in faith nothing doubting measure. For the doubting should not think that they shall receive anything from the Lord (James 1:5-8). Unbelief and doubt are sins of the heart, spiritual sins that are worse, more robbing, and more dangerous to us than all the sins of the flesh.. See Romans 14:23 & Mark 16:15-16 and John 8:24.
The purchase price for these two precious gifts was made and paid for in full in the ransom transaction spoken of by Christ in (Matthew 20:28). Christ gave his life and blood in the ransom transaction cost and price payment, leaving nothing else necessary for the rescue except to join him by faiths attachment to His Hard RANSOMING Labors Upon The Cross, and to unite yourself with him in the glory of His Resurrection. By this faith attachment and by this faith connection Paul preached I was crucified with Christ and Risen with Christ. All this he knew was alive in his inward part, in his inner man, in his heavenly thing, or part/place within him in the spirit, in the hidden man of the heart that God made alive with Christ and rose again/raise from the dead in the new birth with Christ as John 5:24 & Ephesians 2:1-10 & Colossains 3"1-4 teaches us)..
No one in heaven argues against the price paid by Christ. It was a price paid that no human naturally can understand or calculate. It reaches eternal scales and everlasting covenant measurements. It reaches and redeems the very heavenly thing itself that is within man, his spirit, then secondly renewing his soul, and finally resurrecting his body in the coming resurrection...
When Jesus was talking to the Samaritan woman, He said if you knew the GIFT of God and who it is that says to you, GIVE me to drink; you would have ASKED HIM and He would have GIVEN you living water. We do not earn the living water. It is freely given being already paid for in full in the price of Christ blood. Jesus said...and I will ASK the Father and He shall GIVE you another Comforter. Some things are received by the work of faith in the asking but that does not change the fact that the gift was already purchased and paid for and it is freely given.
All gifts have had a buyer/a purchaser and all gifts have a receiver. One pays for it. The other receives the gift already paid for with thanksgiving. We receive the gifts of God one and all by His giving and by our asking and receiving in faith . Whatever Jesus paid for in the blood of his cross at Calvary is FREELY GIVEN lest the purchase was fraudulent and lacking in the needful price. But lacking here was impossible. For God himself who is worthy of far more greater honor than all He has created, He himself paid the awesome price with His own bodies blood. THE BUILDER OF ALL THINGS HIMSELF PAID THE PRICE WITH HIMSELF AND HIS BODY AS THE PRICE AND AS THE PAYMENT. Believe God in this light. He left nothing lacking in the price He paid, It was far far far more than enough. Actually He made a great over payment. He did so that no accuser could justifyingly win his accusing case against even the chiefest of sinners that called upon the name of the Lord.
