When the Lord in the present works of His grace and Spirit
speaks, when He (Jesus Christ) speaks, His Word transcends the mind and
its streams of glory and light penetrate deep into the heart, into the heavenly place of the inner spirit, and inner
soul, piercing thru to the conscience and to the hard places inside
peoples hearts to cause meltdowns from which tears flow, and causes
faith uprisings, conversions, repentance, surrender and love. Without
these attributes in people there is no salvation. The world and
its education system today speaks to the mind for the intellectual
dance of the partners of thought and of thinking. The Lord in His love
with His illuminating system of His grace and truth speaks to the heart
and to the conscience of mans soul, to bring a resurrection life to our
spirit making it freshly back alive unto the Spirit of God. If Christ wanted to he could easily humble the whole
entire educational system of all the world with His infinite knowledge
and wit on challenging display in a question and answer format. All he would have to do is take back up
His God glory that was within Him and let it all come pouring out of His Spirits Eternal Light And Power. But
he knows that there will be an eternity for such class room activities.
But to get us to those class rooms, the wisdom of God called Christ first
to the Cross, for love saw salvation and redemption at present, mans
greater and greatest need for God from the light of His wisdom and counsel said without the shedding of blood sin cannot be removed or forgiven. Christ came down from His Glory
and Christ was born into our world knowing that there is a heaven for
man to gain and a fiery hell for men to shun. So God because of His
great love for us, chose the Cross for us and for our benefit now and later in glory and in
eternity, the fellowship of His class rooms. But for now we sit at the
table of the bread of the fellowship of his sufferings. Christ our
Savior and Passover Lamb shed his precious blood and died for our sins on the Cross and rose again to someday get us to His eternal
classrooms in He and the Fathers paradise. Will you be one of His
eternal students? Or are you going to join the many who chose to learn
the truth the HARD WAY but then found out it was to late ?... deno.....share freely.
To love thy neighbor as thyself is heavens highest moral
excellence. It is the greatest way if life and the greatest law of any society whether of heaven or
on earth. Without this rule our hearts and without this rule lived, not
even religious holiness matters. A so called holiness and sanctification
without this love rule lived is like a cloud without water. It may look
beautiful, and heavenly awing on the surface in fluffy white glory
causing a look toward heaven, but it is deceitful and cannot
deliver in the end all it promises. It is void of the real need and
empty of the saving truth. (1 John 2:9-10) He that says he is in the
truth and in the true faith (The light of Christ), but at the same time
hates his brother , is not in the light, nor is he in the saving truth.
He is deceived and still in darkness. Loving thy neighbor as
thyself is heavens highest moral excellence. Next to loving God with
all our heart, soul, mind and strength, it is the next number one commandment that Jesus gave us
all. Without it we do not have eternal life within us. (1 John 3:14-15) The apostle John wrote, "We
know that WE HAVE PASSED FROM DEATH UNTO LIFE BECAUSE WE LOVE THE
BRETHREN. He that does not love his brother is still in death and is dead unto the One true God. (God Is Love) 15)
Whosoever hates his brother, well he in the eyes of the Lord is a murderer; and
you know that no murderer has eternal life residing inside him." The reason that boasting Pharisee in the bible was condemned by Jesus even though he did all kinds of religious things and duties like fasting, praying, not watching bad movies, never committed adultery or fornication, and tithed ten percent of all that he had, was not because those things are not the right thing to do for they are. His condemning problem was his love and attitude towards others was haughty, unloving, and it stunk. He looked down on everyone else. He said I thank God that In not like all the rest of these people in this place of worship. They are liars, adulterers, fornicators, but I'm all clean and pure and without sin. ........He was the kind of man that would probably never be seen as the GOOD SAMARITAN in the story that Jesus taught us, but one of those that snurft at the man down on his luck and injured and said, Better you down there than me and just walked on by (1 John 3:11-18).......deno.....share freely.
Opposites
can love and live at peace with one another. Why can't we? Since
therefore the God of Creation can accept us as awful, and ugly, and as
imperfect as we are and have been compared to His awesome perfect holiness, beauty and
glory and loves us thru His Son Jesus Christ as He loves Himself; then
we are all without excuse about loving one another except that we welcome not, nor have not His
Love in our hearts. And Jesus said to those religious Pharisees who opposed His love and light, who had religion and LAW but
no love, He said I KNOW THAT YOU DO NOT HAVE GODS LOVE in your hearts.
The only way one can have Gods love in his or her heart is to receive Christ.
This to is why our dad when he was still with us and others preached and do preach that Jesus is
the answer for the world today. The nations could have all
the riches of the world in full and overflowing possession, but if the hearts of the people
have not the love of God in them, then Babylon will still crumble and
fall....deno....America Founded By Believers For Believer.....share freely.
This
candle burns with light.......God is not a myth and Jesus Christ His
Son is not in the grave. Both are living in the hearts of billions by
the breath of the risen Son of God. Without the Spirit of the Lord,
without the breath of the Almighty with us and in us, not a one of us,
not even all the world can by no means know the Lord and the rich and
deep meaning of His being born of the virgin, nor understand the
benefits and the glory of His redeeming Cross & resurrection. Blindness
and a heart or mind empty of the Spirit of the Lord can never know or
interpret rightly God and His Sons truth. Such is absolutely impossible.
So don't be offended when the empty people call us "the filled ones"
crazy this Christmas Season for rejoicing in the birth of Jesus Christ our Savior. Instead pray
for their eyes to be opened and their hearts to be
filled........deno......share freely.

In
Christ, with every new advancing comes new withstandings and new
challenges, and with each new spiritual progression and fruit comes
fresh temptations. The enemy is always trying to set us back or to keep
us from moving forward. So be alert and on your guard for they are
coming. Coming in the form of a hello, a messaging, a conversation, a song, a dance, a text, a phone
call. Coming by friction, by fire, by discord, by strife, by the desires
of the eyes, and of the flesh, in a pair of shoes, on the screen,
from uttering lips, and the serpents sway, hisses, and other formations
of his presented to you powers set in motion against you. Every sin that goes un-resisted is
another walk around spiritual Mt. Sinai, the mountain where all the Jewish people
for 40 years spun their tires in the mud because their sins from unbelief never
allowed their feet to make progressions positive traction. Things had to die off
of their lives before their feet finally gripped the ground of grace
offered without slipping and then, and only then to the promise land
they went to obtain its milk and honey. But even there they still had to FIGHT to lay holt of the blessings of the milk and the HONEY. Note.... Just because Israel, Gods people, just because their feet landed in the promise land, that landing did not mean the battle was over and it did not cause the land to automatically give up over to them, or hand over to them all its resources, treasures, goods pile ups, milk and honey (or the Spiritual riches of Grace and Blessing). There were opposing enemies that were going to resist them to keep them from taking full possession of the treasures, the goods, the milk and the HONEY. They had to be of good courage and in faith go with God and fight all those spiritual and physical BEES to possess it all. We fight and win by obeying Jesus, and we fight and win by believing God. Jesus taught us himself how
important it is for all of us to say GET THEE BEHIND ME SATAN AND MEAN
IT. Notice with me that AFTER Jesus had resisted the devil and put him BEHIND HIM, the bible says Jesus left temptations mountain and returned to the people IN THE POWER OF THE SPIRIT (Luke 4:13-15). Jesus resisted victoriously therefore he tasted the HONEY OF THE ANOINTING, of the Power of God in his life and divine calling as both Lord and Christ. He resisted the devil. He stayed single minded on his calling and in pleasing and serving God and us. He believed and obeyed God the Father. Jesus lived everyday in the HONEY of the Blessings of the Spirit and Presence of God from the Anointing, from the blessing of God in his life. When Satan the king bee came to oppose Jesus, Jesus resisted him and put him behind him. When the lesser imps/bees came against him, Jesus controlled them and cast them out and not the other way around. Jesus got to the Honey of the Presence of Gods Spirit and Blessings by prayer/fasting/resisting the devil/by believing and obeying God faithfully/keeping his eyes on the work that God called him to do and never taking his hands off that plow. Every day Jesus was walking to the Cross and he never turned back. The Blessing of the Lord was upon Jesus and in his life without measure. Anything He asked the Father happened and His blessing poured over beyond his banks into many others lives thru light, thru wisdom, thru the power of God, thru healing's, provisions, and miracles of deliverance's , etc.....deno.....share freely.
I
asked the Lord, Lord how can we as Your children deal with all this
modern day onslaughts against God, against THE TRUTH, against You and
Your Cross and Resurrections Redeeming Message? Lord, so many are now
risen up against You and us who call upon Your Name. Much was the reply
but one of the main streams from His light was to out love all in His
name. This must be the heart of our response. To every day do something
good and of Christ love for someone else, for strangers and love ones in His Name. No sensible person will argue against love and kindness and the heart and spirit of giving.
David Wilkerson years ago as he was preaching to the gangs in
the streets of New York City was often times fought against by gang
members and the famous switchblade toting Nicky Cruz. Nicky one day in
his rage against Jesus and against David Wilkerson, that rage of
conviction and of hate caused him to attack David with swtichblade in
hand. David Wilkerson told Nicky, "Nicky, you can cut me up into a
thousand pieces and every piece will still love you....Nicky Cruz who
has evangelized all over the world said, It was that love in that
preachers heart that broke him down and led him to receive Christ.
Love expressed with faith and courage in Jesus Name is the most
powerful weapon against all the confusion and hate in America and in
this world. FAITH WHICH WORKS BY LOVE......deno
The joy and hope that Jesus brings! Again I wish you JOY and HOPE!
I
wish you joy and hope today! It is that hope and joy that kept me
alive during some trying times in my life. The hope that Heaven is my
final destination and He awaits my arrival. To know the joy of a Savior
who loves us so much that He gave His life is most surreal to me. To
think that the ones we love and miss so much are there, healthy and also
waiting for us. That's a celebration in itself! The reason we
celebrate not only in this Christmas season but all year long is the joy and hope that Jesus brings. Again I wish you joy and hope.
Your longing for heaven is good, because it is an extension of your
yearning for Me. The hope of heaven is meant to strengthen and encourage
you, filling you with wondrous Joy. Many Christians have misunderstood
this word hope, believing that it denotes wishful thinking. Nothing
could be farther from the truth! As soon as I became your Savior, heaven
became your ultimate destination. The phrase hope of heaven highlights
the benefits you can enjoy even while remaining on earth. This hope
keeps you spiritually alive during dark times of adversity; it brightens
your path and heightens your awareness of My Presence. My desire is
that you may overflow with hope by the power of the Holy Spirit. Not only so, but we ourselves, who have the firstfruits of the Spirit,
groan inwardly as we wait eagerly for our adoption as sons, the
redemption of our bodies. For in this hope we were saved. But hope that
is seen is no hope at all. Who hopes for what he already has? But if we
hope for what we do not yet have, we wait for it patiently. —Romans 8:23–25
God did this so that, by two unchangeable things in which it is
impossible for God to lie, we who have fled to take hold of the hope
offered to us may be greatly encouraged. We have this hope as an anchor
for the soul, firm and secure. It enters the inner sanctuary behind the
curtain. —Hebrews 6:18–19 May the God of hope fill you with
all joy and peace as you trust in him, so that you may overflow with
hope by the power of the Holy Spirit.
