It is written for our edification that Abraham believed what God said and promised to him and God "the highest authority" accounted Abrahams faith, HIS BELIEVING, as HIS RIGHTEOUSNESS. Paul revealed to us in his writings that Abraham was called righteous before God (BY GOD HIMSELF) by his faith BEFORE THE LAW WAS EVER GIVEN and before he was even circumcised, and that his circumcision was a work of his faith that he ALREADY HAD when he was not yet circumcised. So as it is written in the scriptures that cannot fail in truth in Romans 14:23...whatsoever is done not in faith IS SIN. Abrahams heart was believing, was already in faith before and when the foreskin of his flesh was cut. Believing, the believing of the heart is to God a PRIORITY THING. Even as it is written in Hebrews 11:6) Without faith (the believing of the heart) it is impossible to please God. And what is faith? Hebrews 11:1 tells us that faith is a spiritual substance. It is the substance of things hoped for and it is the assurance of things not seen. It is the assurance of the heart that what I have been told is true and I BELIEVE IT. Isaiah the prophet foreseeing by the Holy Ghost the gospel to come said "Who has BELIEVED our report? And to whom has the Arm of the Lord been revealed? (Isaiah 53) The arm of the Lord is Christ and His gospel. Jesus said in Mark 16:15 -16) Go into all the world to all the nations and PREACH THE ARM OF THE LORD (THE GOSPEL) to EVERY CREATURE. The ones that BELIEVE and are baptized SHALL BE SAVED.....but the ones that do not believe the good report shall be damned. (Unbelief is so powerful and that it can stop the mercy of God, the redeeming saving power of God that is in the CROSS OF RIGHT to not be able to do anything for those of unbelief, for those who do not believe. This is also confirmed in Hebrews 4:3) For unto us was the gospel (THE ARM OF THE LORD) preached, as well as unto them; but the WORD preached did not PROFIT THEM, not being MIXED WITH FAITH in them that heard it preached. The prophet Habakkuk also spoke of faith and unbelief in his words in Habakkuk 1:5) The Lord said...Look at the nations and watch and be utterly amazed. For I am going to do a work in your days that you will not believe even though it is told you. This was spoken of the fact that the Lord of heaven, The Son of God by whom God made the worlds (Hebrews 1:1-5), The Word Himself WAS GOING TO BECOME FLESH (John 1:14) and dwell on earth in Israel. Then at the appointed time be revealed as the Lord by the Spirit of the Lord given him without measure as seen in three years filled with miracle after miracle of signs and wonders and healing and miracles. His Word the bible says was WITH POWER. Yet despite all the signs and the wonders that no other man ever did, still yet most of Israel eventually turned away from Jesus in unbelief just as their forefathers did in the wilderness after seeing the MIGHTY SIGNS GOD WROUGHT when he delivered them with HIS STRONG ARM from Pharaoh and Egypt. The scriptures declare, they saw the miracles, they saw the Sea divide and they walked in the midst thereof on dry ground. Then on the other side they saw the army of Egypt pursuing them and they saw the STRONG ARM OF THE LORD LIFTED and the waters fell heavily upon their enemies. What a sight. Still yet a few weeks later their hearts lost faith and in their hearts the scriptures say they went backwards in unbelief (THE GOLDEN CALF SIN of UNBELIEF) and God became angry with that generation. In His displeasure God made all that generation die off before He allowed their children to enter into the promise land. Paul by the Holy Ghost wrote of a similar departure of those who once believed (THE GOSPEL) falling backwards into unbelief in the LAST DAYS. 2 Thessalonians 2:3) As he wrote by the foreseeing eyes of the Lord in him he said of the second coming of the Lord...Let no man deceive you by any means, for THAT DAY shall not happen until their first comes a FALLING AWAY FIRST, and that man of sin be revealed, the son of perdition. In 1st Timothy 4:1) we hear these words of Paul again saying....The Spirit of the Lord speaks expressly that in the latter times some will depart from the faith (from the truth of the gospel) giving heed to truth seducing spirits and their deceiving doctrines. Friends let us not be partakers of this falling away (THE MOVE OF UNBELIEF) from the Lord that occurs in the last days by some. For Hebrews 3:12-14 warns and exhorts us concerning this matter. It reads, vs 12) Take heed brethren lest there be in any of you AN EVIL HEART OF UNBELIEF in departing from the living God (Christ Risen from the dead). 13) But exhort one another each day, while you have TODAY, lest your faith grows cold thru the effects of the deceitfulness of sin. 14) For we are MADE PARTAKERS of Christ, IF we remain fastened firmly to Christ our confidence from the beginning all the way to the finish line. And what do we hold firm to no matter what happens in this world. We believe and hold firm to our faith, believing that Jesus Christ is the Messiah. That Jesus is the Lord. That He is the Christ the Son of the loving and living God and that He went to the Cross and bled and died for our sins and three days later God raised Jesus from the dead and raised him back up into glory itself and sat him down at His own right hand as the STRONG SAVING ARM OF THE LORD. And that he is going to return the next time in great power and glory from the heavens with the mighty angels to deliver us with His Strong Arms Again in a greater measure than what the dividing of the Red Sea preached concerning eternal redemption. This our hearts believe and this faith is counted unto us as OUR RIGHTEOUSNESS as Abrahams was in his walk by faith in his life time (Read Romans 10:1-17).. This gospel truth we believe in our heart in all we do in the name of the Lord everyday, and in the work God has called us unto, and everywhere God sends us and everywhere we go......deno.....share freely.
This is much of the core of what the Spirit of the Lord is doing and
will be doing in the world and in us the church in these last days....2
Corinthians 10:3-6)...vs 5) With the Holy Ghost and Fire God will be Casting down imaginations (fantasies,
theories, presumptions, worldly deceiving dreams, false doctrines, false
beliefs, false religions, religious illusions, delusions) and casting
down every high thing (false gods, false deities, deceitful lust, perverse reasoning and more) that exalts itself against the knowledge of God in
Christ, and bringing into captivity (IN OUR THOUGHT LIFE AND THINKING)
every thought to get in line with the obedience of Christ (Also into agreement with Jesus Christ and His Cross & Resurrection....He will be working mightily in the church THIS SANCTIFICATION and in the world that they might be saved THRU FAITH IN THE CROSS OF CHRIST AND HIS RESURRECTION. God will be HIGHLY
MAGNIFYING THE CROSS OF CHRIST and HIS RESURRECTION GLORY UNTO US IN
THESE LAST DAYS and the Power thereof and Readying the church and the world for The Judgements.....Will we stand or fall?.....deno.
It is only when we realize how ugly we are as being sinners that our
eyes can truly be opened to how beautiful Jesus Christ and Him crucified
is. But as long as you think your self righteousness is beautiful in
the mirror that you are looking in, you will not see how beautiful
Christ is and the gift of righteousness is, which is given to us freely
by faith in his sufferings and atoning blood. Jesus and him crucified is
GODS MIRROR...It's picture tells the true story of how we all
look, both Jews and Gentiles, before God outside of the Cross of
Christ...All over the world in all nations, people are looking in the
wrong mirrors and by what those cultural mirrors tell them, they are ok, they are
beautiful, and have no need of Jesus Christ and the blood of His
Cross...... But God from the Cross of Christ preaches to all the world a different message. God says to the Jew first and then to all of us Gentile
nations, Only those washed in Christ, His Sons blood are beautiful in Gods
sight....Only those who have Christ as their life and righteousness as a
gift from God by grace look beautiful in the eyes of the Lord.
(Colossians 3:1-4 & 1 Corinthians 1:29-31).... Come to Christ the Son of God so that your sinful ugliness can be blotted out and the beauty of the Lord revealed in you......deno......share freely.
Brethren, My heart's desire and
prayer for Israel is, THAT THEY MIGHT BE SAVED..(the children of
Israel-THE CHOSEN PEOPLE- had become lost like the rest of the world.
They had fallen away from the movements of God, His Word of Prophecy
fulfillment's, and grace. The Lord as He foretold them suddenly was in
Israel visiting His people as the Christ, in their temple as a man, and
they rejected Him as Isaiah foretold they would, and then
crucified him in their unbelief-Isaiah 53:1-6)....... 2) For I bear them record, (I can
say this about them), that they HAVE A ZEAL for God (passionate about
God), but not according to knowledge,(not according to Gods proper
understanding). (So what was their problem? Where had they missed God? It
was all in the area of knowledge & proper understanding concerning
Christ)...... vs3) For they (Israel) being ignorant of(blind to), of God's
righteousness, and going about (in their religion of exalting THE LAW OF MOSES)
to establish their own righteousness (Self righteousness, reward by
their doings of the LAW instead of by faith in the doings of the Cross
of Christ and His sufferings, and his bloods redeeming effects given us as a FREE GIFT). They
going about to establish their own righteousness, HAVE NOT SUBMITTED
THEMSELVES (that was the problem, they on this matter had not submitted their understanding to Gods understanding concerning Christ and the free gifts God gave us all thru him, thru the rewards of HIS SUFFERINGS), THEY HAD NOT SUBMITTED THEMSELVES unto the RIGHTEOUSNESS OF GOD. (What was this righteousness of
God that Israel failed to SUBMIT themselves to?) Here it is in vs 4)...
For Christ is THE END of righteousness by the keeping of the Law to
EVERYONE THAT BELIEVES....Believes What? Go and Read Romans 10: vs
5-13) ......believes basically that God had become a man and was dwelling amongst them in Christ. And that as a man He died for the punishment of their sins and rose again from the dead for their new real hope by grace. This VISITATION Israel DID NOT BELIEVE and their unbelief caused them to be severed from and separated from God. From that point on for Israel, to God it did not matter how intense or devoted they were about their keeping the commandments of the Mosaic Law or their physical circumcision. God had Himself visited HIS PEOPLE IN CHRIST and they rejected this truth in unbelief. So they going about to establish their own righteousness by the Law of commandments when they had rejected and crucified the LAW GIVER that had become flesh and dwelt amongst them as Christ, in their unbelief all those rules and laws they kept did not profit them anything from that rejection point on. Faith in Christ blood power, his deaths power and purpose, his resurrection power and purpose was the NEW RIGHTEOUSNESS ORDERED BY GOD to ALL NATIONS starting first in Israel then to the Gentile Nations.....deno......share freely.
It is by faith that it would be by grace so that the
promise would be sure to all THE SEED, them that believe like
Abraham....Abraham believed what God promised him and his faith God
called his righteousness....When we accept Christ by faith, believing in our heart that Jesus came down from heaven, Became a man in the virgin Mary. In the proper time Jesus laid down his life for us. He died for our sins and rose again for our justification by grace thru faith WE SHALL BE JUSTIFIED and our faith God Himself accounts as OUR ETERNAL RIGHTEOUSNESS. Christ becomes our all in all, even our every acceptable and good thing as written in 1st Corinthians 1:29-31....Amen.....This Is Salvation..
Contrary to the mind and thinking and spirit of this world and it's
present self exalting ways, we were not created to be worshiped. We were
not created to be idolized...... Please remember this. Satan wanted
that and look where it got him.....Do you remember?....How art thou
fallen from heaven o Lucifer? You said in your heart, I WILL EXALT
MYSELF.........Jesus said. I saw Satan fall from heaven like
lightning.......share freely......deno.
In this wrestling and in this stirring that comes upon me in these quiet
times with the Lord, I try to get quiet before him exercising my faith
in a reach to receive from Him light, wisdom, and insight by which I
write these writings from. Being one that has been forgiven MUCH, it's seems He wants to use me along with many of you
and others also as well, as to speak thru us His message and mercies to
others of our generation who have committed before Him the same sins we have and have committed even the most
embarrassing sins FOR THEY ARE MANY THAT HAVE. In all this selfishness we have broken even
our children's hearts in these selfish sins, and others have confused
the children of the world also with their abominable sins.. It seems to
me if I am reading Him right, that the Lord is saying that there are many millions in our nation,
male and female that want to come to God thru Christ and be set free
from all their heavy guilt and shame from their heavy weight sins, but
they feel they have gone to far into the most flesh indulging sin and
even witch craft works of a satanical kind for God to love them, pardon them and forgive them. So these,
being so filled with shame, they lose heart and in hopelessness they roam
as slaves to even more degrading and unlawful sins of the flesh and of darkness as
spoken in the Ten commandments of God and in the many others.... But
friends Jesus said, WHOSOEVER WILL let them come unto me...He said, WHOSOEVER
WILL let them come and drink of the waters of life freely.....Whosoever
means WHOSOEVER.....Whosoever means, Strippers, Teasers, Satanist,
Witches, Humanist, Atheist, Adulterers, Fornicators, Liars, Thieves, Porn Stars, Gay
People, Whore mongers, Gossipers, Deceivers, Covenant Breakers,
Murderers, Rapist, Immoral People, and he calls even the so called good
people also although Jesus said that there is no one good but GOD.... So
friend come back home and let this promise be fulfilled in you spoken by the
Prophet Isaiah 54:4-10 & Isaiah 55:1-7...Return unto the Lord for He
swore to Abundantly Pardon us.......deno.....share
freel, Whom Jesus Pardons and sets free is PARDONED,
FORGIVEN, AND SET FREE INDEED....AMEN.
