To Easy You Say. Oh Really? That They Might Be Saved......deno.

      Romans 10:1-4) Brethren, my heart's desire and prayer to God for Israel is that they might be saved. (Next Paul tells where the people of Israel missed it). vs 2) For I bear them witness that they certainly do have a zeal for God, but they are falling short in correct understanding. vs 3) For this is their understanding problem. They being ignorant of God's righteousness, and they seeking TO ESTABLISH THEIR OWN RIGHTEOUSNESS (Self Righteousness), they have NOT SUBMITTED themselves to the righteousness of God. vs 4) For Christ IS THE END of the LAW for righteousness (Works of the law will not justify you) to everyone that BELIEVES.....
      Believes what ? ) Romans 10:8-11).....the word of faith is what we preach. If you confess with your mouth that Jesus is Lord and BELIEVE in your heart THAT GOD HAS RAISED HIM FROM THE DEAD YOU SHALL BE SAVED. vs 10) For with the heart man now BELIEVES UNTO RIGHTEOUSNESS (This is what Israel failed to see, failed to accept, and to submit to)...and with the mouth confession is made UNTO SALVATION. vs 11) For Gods Word says, Whoever believes on Him will not be put to shame......
      Some have said, well that's just TO EASY AND TO SIMPLE. My answer. If so, then let's see you go thru ALL JESUS WENT THRU to ransom us. Go thru it all. Taste it all. Feel it all. All the stripes, the deep cuts, the beatings, the nails, the cross, THE DEATH. Then come back and tell us how easy and how simple it was......You see, you are (LIKE ISRAEL), you are looking at you , yourself and your doings  as your righteousness and way and are not SUBMITTING yourself to what Jesus did as the sufficiency.... Looking unto Jesus and not unto ourselves.......

Ephesians 2;8-10) For by grace you are saved thru faith (constant believing) and not of your own doings IT IS THE GIFT OF GOD. (paid for in full by the price of the tremendous sufferings of Christ). It is not of your works, but by the works of Christ in the Cross....Believe and Obey this law of faith and you will be saved. It is an ESTABLISHED LAW... Tha Law of Faith.....(read Romans 3:19-31).....deno.

Rome was built from zeal spawned from Idolatry......deno......please preach, teach & share graciously

      As I continue on my personal quest to more understand our faith in Christ, the faith of the Son of God (Galations 2:20), and the things our dad and others taught us from our youth, things come to me as I read and study the scriptures. This is one of them....... 
       John 15:7 is Christ answer for Gods will to be done on earth and for our hearts desires to be granted by God and done in our lives on earth. He said...."IF you abide in me, (this means to believe on the Name of Jesus and his gospel and to obey Him faithfully) and if My words abide in you, (this means His words which reveal Gods will has free course in us and in our life), He said IF that is really happening in you and in your life, YOU SHALL THEN ASK WHAT YOU DESIRE AND IT SHALL BE DONE FOR YOU". THAT MY FRIENDS IS POWERFUL. IT IS THE ULTIMATE RESULTS OF TRUE COVENANT FELLOWSHIP...
      This is ultimate fellowship glory. God getting done what He first wants and then we getting done what we want secondly (Read again John 15:7-8). We are pleasing God and God is pleasing us. We are first obeying God and then God and Jesus do as we ask. This is amazing, but this is exactly what Jesus is talking about here in John 15:7) Faithfully do what God commands and God will faithfully do what you ask. AMAZING COVENANT GRACE & AMAZING COVENANT RELATIONSHIP....
      John 15:7,  is the key to everything WE DESIRE & NEED and it is the key to GODS DESIRES and WILL being done and met by and thru HIS USE of us on earth. God always works thru the avenue of people by the means of faith and obedience. If we are prospering on earth in a manner disconnected from John 15:7 adherence, we then are entangled in some kind of counterfeit, by some kind of substitute, in some kind of replacement method that is of the world and not of John 15:7)......Such to be considered......
      If we are in sin, or in unbelief, or in disobedience. If we are selling sin and selling disobedience and yet we are prospering, God then  is not the glory of our wealth, nor is He the one paying our bills, or buying our luxurious life style. The god of Luke 4:5-7 is. Satan told Jesus, See all this world, it's riches, power, splendor and glory. It has been given to me and I GIVE IT to whomsoever I desire to. I will give IT ALL to you Jesus, if you will first worship me, follow my ways, do my business instead of the Fathers...... 
       Please let us remember. In Jesus' days on earth, Rome and all her splendor, riches, wealth, and glory, and culture, not one brick, nor one stone carved image that amazed the world, nor any of it's ways, arts, theater, or culture of craft, knowledge, or entertainments; not one of them was God laid, God instituted, God founded, or God formed. All of Romes splendor from her root to all her fruits were the works of the zeal of idolatry. The deceiver of the world built and ruled Rome thru the believing of his implanted lies about divine things..... .deno.

The Blessing Secret and Source......deno......please share freely

      In the great and mighty BLESSING of the Lord, that the Lord promised to them that faithfully obeyed Him and kept His commandments (Deuteronomy 28:1-14) every area of life God covered with His presence, power, favor, and goodness. Keeping the commandments of God in the old covenant was the way to become the blessed of God and remain in the blessings of the Lord. 
     In the new covenant Jesus said it worked this way. In John 14:21 He said, "He who has My commandments and keeps them, it is he who really loves Me. And he who loves Me (which as Jesus said is the one who keeps Christ Words in obedience), will BE LOVED BY MY FATHER, and I will love him and MANIFEST MYSELF TO HIM. This  MANIFESTATION is God and Jesus being mightily real to you. This is THE BLESSING SECRET AND SOURCE.
     This that Jesus said, "shall be loved of My Father," is not the same love as in John 3:16. John 3:16 is Gods love for the sinner, for the lost world, to bless them with salvation by faith unto eternal life and not to perish. But being loved by the Father in John 14:21 for obeying what Jesus tells you to do IS (A BLESS YOU LOVE FOR HIS DISCIPLES). IT IS FOR THOSE THAT ARE THE BELIEVING WHO SERVE JESUS AND REALLY FAITHFULLY DO WHAT JESUS TELLS THEM TO DO DAY UNTO DAY. They love, live, speak and do all things by Jesus, for Jesus, thru Jesus, and commanded by Jesus.
      Being loved by God and Jesus for obeying Jesus in all things is REWARDING LOVE. It is the Father and Jesus MANIFESTING themselves to the obedient amongst the believing (Important light just said). He said, He who loves Me, the Father will notice that he obeys Me, and the Father will love that obedient son/servant and I WILL LOVE HIM and MANIFEST MYSELF TO HIM.

Psalms 37:4) Delight yourself in the Lord (Which means love Him obediently) and He will give you the desires of your heart....This is God manifesting Himself to you thru the REWARD. Granting and giving you what you desire.

In the New Covenant we have the same promise put to us by Jesus in John 15:7) Jesus said, IF, ( IF,Hugest littlelest word in the whole world), IF you abide in Me and My Words abide in you, (meaning you believe and obey His words), you will ASK WHAT YOU DESIRE AND WILL, and it shall be granted and done for you.

      If our prayers are not being answered, there is basically two robbing forces active in us. They are, measures of unbelief, and areas of disobedience/sin. Some way some how we are not abiding in Jesus' Words properly. 
     When we love God we obey God. God said if My people will seek me with their WHOLE HEART, it is then they will find me. The bible says in Revelations that those who in their commitment to serving Christ are lukewarm, God will spew them out of His mouth. Well if we are half hearted with God, He is not then in the mood to answer our prayers. How could the Lord who is ready to spew you out of your mouth be so inclined to hear your worldly prayer wishes. Let us Repent........deno

    

Words in which our Founding Fathers Believed & Hoped In.......deno......please share freely.

      Deuteronomy 28:8,9,10).....and the Lord will Bless you in the land which the Lord your God has given you. 9) The Lord will establish you as a holy people to Himself, just as He has sworn to you, if you will keep the commandments of the Lord your God and walk in His ways. 10) Then all peoples of the earth shall see that you are called by the Name of the Lord, and they shall be afraid of you.......
      This was also His promise to our American founding fathers as well. They dedicated this land to God and to the proclamation of the Gospel of Jesus Christ and to freedom and opportunity for all God loving, God fearing law abiding citizens. America was truly founded by believers for believers.....
     Unbelief and unbelievers within the borders of our nation, are the worse threat against our nations christian beliefs, traditions, and traditional way of  life. The presently few but rich and powerful active unbelieving citizens of the United States are our present biggest inside threat to America remaining GOD BLESSED & GOD EMPOWERED AND STRONG, and against the faith and hope that our nations founding fathers had for this New Nation they birthed for God Fearing People that loved Liberty.....deno

Eternal Life's Everlasting Heartbeat.......deno.......please share freeely.

     1 Corinthians 3:11) There is no other starting place, no other beginning, no other foundation can anyone lay than that which is laid, which is Jesus Christ.....1 Corinthians 2:2) Paul speaking, said, "For I determined, I purposed it and planned this, that when I came to you, I was determined not to know anything among you except Jesus Christ and Him crucified.......
     Jesus Christ and Him crucified; Jesus Christ blood, death, and resurrection is the only true foundation. It is this truth believed and received that is our salvation and that all other things we learn and do are built from and upon......
     And, in all we say, learn, and do, we unceasingly stay faith connected to the blood, death, and resurrection of Jesus Christ, the Son of God. This is eternal life's everlasting heart beat.

    We should not go to any Church's or religions that do not agree or believe this Paul preached truth.......deno.

Preparing Our Children To Stand Before The Lord.....Family Devotions........deno......please share freely.

     You may not be called to be an evangelist as Billy Graham was and is to take the gospel to the nations, but as a Christian you have been called BY GOD to take the Word and gospel to your immediate family. Your wife, your husband, your children, your mom and dad, are your daily garden given you by God to till and water with the grace and gospel of Jesus Christ.....
     When your children stand before the Lord and they say, "but Jesus my mom and dad never told me that". What will you do? Friends in that day there is nothing we can do. All of us will stand before the Lord and give account to Him INDIVIDUALLY. What we can and must do for our children's now and Eternal future must be done today, now, in this life.....
      Lord Jesus, baptized in your love may our hearts now be turned to our children to feed them the bread of life everlasting that your gospel is......And Jesus said to Peter, "Peter if you really love Me. FEED MY CHILDREN, MY SHEEP......Bible Story Books are great for family devotions.....deno

The Awesome Resurrection Miracle......This Fresh Light And Revelation Will Bless You.....deno.....please preach and share freely.

......Matthew 27:50 -54)....50) And Jesus cried out again with a loud voice and gave up His spirit. 51) Then, behold, the veil of the temple God tore in two from top to bottom, and God caused the earth in that region of the world to shake violently. It shook so violently by the power of God that the rocks split. 
      52) NOW NOTE THIS AWESOME RESURRECTION MIRACLE....and THE GRAVES were opened all over the area and MANY (note that. Note that he wrote MANY, not a few but MANY), MANY BODIES of the SAINTS (probably those who had recently died. Remember Lazarus? Lazarus was in the grave for 4 days and Jesus said, Lazarus Come Forth. Lazarus spirit that had left that body, reentered that body and Lazarus body came back alive and boy did he have much to tell his family, friends, and the world. What a best selling book that could have been written. God quickened that body. God revived it's every cell with all their massive complexities and a new and incredible resurrection miracle testimony had now been freshly born on the earth).
    Well here we have in verse 52 of Matthew chapter 27  a resurrection glory fact story  even more awing than what went on in Lazarus' resurrection. We read in verse 52 that on the glorious resurrection day that God raised Jesus back up from the dead into paradise above. We read in verse 52 & 53 that AFTER Jesus was raised first from the dead,  God also raised MANY BODIES OF THE SAINTS from the dead. Many people in the area near Christ tomb and body where God's resurrection power and glory was poured out, great measures of the resurrection glory of God hit those dead bodies WITH GREAT PURPOSE in the surrounding area and God raised those saints from the dead. It says GOD RAISED "MANY" OF THEM UP.  This means NOW on resurrection day, we have MANY LAZARUS types walking around Jerusalem. God is doing something. Keep reading.     
    Now as if that in itself was not awesome enough, God did not stop there. After God reunited those saints spirits with their bodies  (temporarily) by His Mighty Life Giving Resurrection Glory and Power ON PURPOSE (James 2:26), it says that these people that God raised from the dead, they went into the city of Jerusalem and visited MANY people. They went, I believe, sent by God being that God on purpose resurrected them, and I believe God did that resurrection miracle and sent them to visit and talk about their experiences beyond the grave to the people in Jerusalem to fill the whole atmosphere of the city of Jerusalem with RESURRECTION SERMONS and RESURRECTION TALK and RESURRECTION TESTIMONIES for many days. After all (note this), THE DAY OF PENTECOST WAS JUST AROUND THE CORNER. Hello????
     I mean many God raised from the dead to live out several more days on the earth  among their family members, friends and in front of those who were not family, or friends, but they had only known them from a distance. BUT, ALL THESE PEOPLE, ALL OF THEM, WHETHER THEY WERE FAMILY, OR FRIENDS, OR  JUST SOMEONE YOU BUMPED INTO NOW AND THEN, ALL OF THEM KNEW THAT NOT TO LONG AGO THESE PEOPLE  HAD REALLY DIED and they knew it. MANY OF THEM WENT TO THEIR FUNERALS AND SAW THEM BURIED IN THE GRAVES. But now standing and preaching right in front of them about God, and about the things concerning Jesus Christ the Son of God, and about life after death, and things beyond the grave, here they stood fully alive, fully raised from the dead testifying to them in RESURRECTION REALITY........Mom, a child cries... Granpa's back. He's here in the living room. Just imagine what all went on with this mighty resurrection MIRACLE, that few have preached so little of.
      So with the mighty visible testimony of these many saints  that God raised from the dead and sent unto many in the city of Jerusalem, all of Jerusalem was FILLED with notable and indisputable evidence that dead people can come back to life again after being dead and in the graves for many days by the power of God. They saw them. They talked with them. They touched and handled them. Many of them even lived out more days, weeks, months and maybe even years together with some of these RISEN  RESURRECTED PEOPLE. Why not then the Son of God but on a MORE GRANDER EVERLASTING SCALE? 
     God raised these saints from the dead temporarily to live on the earth to testify to His resurrection power and glory for a few more days, months, or maybe even years, but these would, after a while, their bodies would die again and they would be placed back into the tombs. But not Jesus and His Body. The body that God had prepared His Son (Hebrews 10:5) for the Cross of our redemption that was slung on the cross by a blind world, His body after God raised him from the dead was slung back up so to speak into heaven itself unto God the Father in an endless resurrection and glorious ascension, and God sat His Son back down in His Throne at His own right hand (Ephesians 1:16-20). He made Christ risen Body untouchable by death ever again. As it is written, Revelations 1:17-18) Fear not John, I am the first and the last. 18) I am He that lives and was dead, and behold, I AM ALIVE FOREVER MORE. AMEN.
      So we conclude that with all these  bodies of all those saints that God raised from the dead after He raised Christ up first, as the citizens of Jerusalem beheld these risen resurrected people for days, weeks, months and maybe even for years, in amazement, shock, and awe and heard them testify to life after death, and of the reality of the spirit world, and of God, and of the Angels, and of heaven and of hells realities (Read Luke 16:19-31), Note this which is about to be said and revealed,...... when  Peter and the disciples on the day of Pentecost (Acts 2:1-42) were filled with the Holy Spirit as Jesus promised a few days and weeks after the Lords resurrection, and preached the gospel of Jesus Christ blood, death, and resurrection, God had already (WITH THOSE SAINTS RISEN BODIES), and with their testimonies and with all that RESURRECTION TALK that had been going on thru out Jerusalem for days and weeks with clear visible evidence by the sight of those saints that God raised from the dead, God had prepped the hearts of many in the city of Jerusalem for the resurrection GLORY AND GOSPEL REDEEMING STORY OF HIS SON JESUS CHRIST.....scroll down. There's more. 

       Who knows friends, maybe even on the day of Pentecost, some of those saints that God raised from the dead and sent to many in the city of Jerusalem, it is very very possible that some of them were standing RIGHT THERE close to Peter giving even their great extra witness to Peters sermon amongst those hearing Peter proclaiming the gospel of  Jesus Christ and His Everlasting Resurrection.......With those risen people all around them that they knew had died but were BY GOD raised from the dead standing right there with them, God by Peter full of the Holy Ghost, proclaimed the RESURRECTION OF HIS SON JESUS CHRIST.  With power and great glory and with a great resurrection witness of many that God had raised from the dead to prep Israel for the resurrection sermon that Peter preached on that soul winning day, THOUSANDS WERE MADE BELIEVERS AND GOT SAVED AND WERE CONFIRMED BY THE HOLY GHOST.....Amen......Hope this revelating light has opened your eyes and blessed you....To God be the glory......deno.......please, preach, teach, and share freely & graciously, esp. on those Easter Morning Services.
