Since God showed His prophet in the scriptures that BY HIS SPIRIT God can make dead dried up bones come fully back alive and cover them with freshly made healthy tendons, muscles, organs, and bodies and that such is an awing but ease for God by the breath of His Spirit to do; we can know and believe and be fully assured that no matter how dead our position, circumstance, or situation looks, WE HAVE GREAT SURE HOPE IN GOD. God showed His prophet that vision for truth to be established and for hope to abound in us (His People) thru the power of the Holy Spirit. It was for those of the times of resurrection grace of the Power of God. Even New Covenant Glory. Let us pray for God to BREATHE HIS BREATH on us, upon all flesh. TO POUR OUT HIS SPIRIT UPON OUR SITUATIONS AND NEED as we quote back to God in Jesus Name the words of His COVENANT PROMISES. Church we have a mighty New Covenant with God in Christ Jesus. Paul wrote that our new covenant is a Better Covenant filled with BETTER promises and filled with greater Power and filled with the greater presence of God and Grace than Moses had and better than all the covenant promises in the old testament. Surely in Christ Jesus we have resurrection power and hope from faith unto faith unto even resurrection measures of true hope. As the prophet wrote and in his writings said to us all, I SAW THOSE BONES COME BACK ALIVE AND LIVE SO HOPE THOU IN GOD, our MIGHTY GOD. Church God is at work and He is up to something and He is up to something BIG. Be a part of it. The past does not matter by the power of the blood of Christ. Believe me, God has taught me this personally. Forget those failures and sights of fright from your past deeds. Little sins, Big sins, Self sins, Group sins, Nice looking sins, or those horrific embarrassing haunting type of sins, none are any match against the greatness of the Love and Blood of Emmanuel, the blood of the Son of God. NO MATCH AT ALL. He promises to wipe away all our shame. Let this New Covenant promise rule in your heart and minds. God swore these words for your and my benefits. He swore saying, In the New Covenant written with the blood of My Son, in honor of His blood I will be merciful. I swear these words that I will be merciful to their unrighteous deeds and their sins and their iniquities will I remember no more, nor bring them back up. WHAT A GLORIOUS NEW COVENANT BETTER PROMISE. God swore himself to those words for OUR BENEFIT. The bible says that Christ blood speaks unto us GOOD THINGS and that is ONE of those GOD THINGS that Christ blood speaks. All Aboard. Gods called ministers are believing Bigger than all their yesterdays. They are reaching to the heights of the most abounding grace and the most riches of graces glory given us in Christ. Let us all believe Big together. With faith confidence let us all ASK BIG the God who made all those dead bones come back alive again spirit, soul, and body. Lord breathe on us afresh Your resurrection Breath and Spirit in Jesus Name and cause the church to COME ALIVE with the riches of Christ in us grace and glory that the Name of the Lord be magnified and exalted in this generation afresh FAR ABOVE ALL. Let faith arise and all our enemies be scattered into the grace of God themselves thru faith in Jesus Christ His risen Son thru the goodness of God unto repentance thru the Good News Christ Blood Speaks. Amen.....deno....share freely.
In the old covenant a trembling fear of God was often the atmosphere. The true heart of God had not yet been unveiled, but was steal hidden in God behind the curtain in a mystery. The great PEACE OFFERING of the Christ had not been sacrificed yet. The high priest once a year in those fear filled days tip toed with fear into Gods presence behind that veil of the curtain, for he knew if he did not enter behind that thick curtain exactly according to the laws demand, Gods power or His guardian angels would strike him down dead and the other ministers would have to drag his dead body out from behind the holy of holies veil. And he definitely would not enter without the sacrificial blood to place upon the mercy seat. Not that God Himself needed to be purified, but the throne was going to someday supply the blood of the final sacrifice. Israels eyes were dim to this mystery. Certainly that blood upon that mercy seat preached and its mystery was Christ sent from the throne of God who would shed his blood for the sin of all the world. But until Christ came their was still that fear. The tip toe days still abounded. Law ruled. Grace was still awaiting its day view. But now in Christ Jesus grace has come, grace has had its day view and we are in those days (John 1:16). We clearly see a differing story in the New Covenant. We see and know that the peace offering has been sacrifice. Christ, Gods Son has been slain. He died for our sins and rose again for our justification and to obtain for us ETERNAL PEACE WITH GOD. Jesus the Passover Lamb has been slain so making peace, and His blood and sacrifice has delivered us from fear, from the wrath to come and his great sacrifice PREACHES CONSTANT ENDLESS GOOD THINGS of PEACE in new covenant better form, better than the old. In the old covenant let us recall that only Moses was allowed on the mount. The rest were told do not even touch the mount or they would perish. This signified also that the way to the holiest of all was not yet made for all. The whole mountain represented the holy of holies section of the tabernacle/temple. One priest (Moses) was allowed in the presence of God. But one day the way would be made for all to come and to climb the mount, even to its top, even into the baptism of the Holy Ghost and His sanctifying fire whose fire made all of Israel tremble with fear when Gods power shook the mountain top. They needed peace with Jehovah as we did and that peace would come in the dispensation of its prepared time by the up and coming one that Moses by the Spirit of prophecy preached and in Shadow form represented. Now that dispensation has come. Christ has already come in the flesh. He has already shed his redeeming blood for his people and for the sins of all the nations. His own blood, the blood of Immanuel Himself now is on the MERCY SEAT. Now in these last days thru the peace offering of Jesus Christ Gods Son God Himself has preached a sermon to us. God's New Covenant Sermon is this, Now thru faith in My Sons blood come BOLDLY into My presence. The tip toe days are behind us. The curtain is torn in twain. The dividing wall of partition My Son has abolished and removed. So now in the new and living way by access with confidence in My Sons Blood, COME BOLDLY, CLIMB THE MOUNTAIN unto the Throne of Grace into the presence of God and obtain help and obtain what you need from His provisions and providing hands. Love is talking. Love is calling. Love Himself is preaching all this light. Love is doing the inviting us ALL into His own presence by boldness thru the peace power of his Sons blood and says be bold about it. Be bold in your entering. Such words from God was UNHEARD of in the old way, in the old covenant. But in the new IT IS THE ESTABLISHED WAY. Anything other than this boldness, this bold entering by the blood of Christ is a dishonor to Gods Sons Great Sacrifice. The dull of hearing and the dimmed eyes still tip toe, even though the Holy Ghost shouts ENTER BOLDLY by Immanuels Blood. (Hebrews 10:7-23). But now, now In Christ Jesus the bold way has come. The peace is real and it is established. The peace is deep and far reaching for all, YES FOR EVERYONE even to the climbing to the top of spiritual mount Sinai, the throne of Gods presence in Heaven itself where Jesus our forerunner has risen unto himself for the benefit and glory of all them that believe. The peace we have now thru Christ blood is by no means shallow nor weak. Immanuel tasted death for every man. Gods death as a man, as the man Christ Jesus is the most Powerful redeeming work of God and that God could ever possibly do. His cross was the altar for the peace offering and his own flesh and blood the sacrifice. The peace offering of the Passover Lamb, that Lamb could by no means escape the Cross, nor go around it, nor side step it. It's cup the Lamb had to drink and drink all of it. The Cross of Christ was the way and the Power of God for peace with God and for salvation. Yes the Passover Lamb could not by no means escape the Cross. Neither will God allow any of us or any man to side step it. The Cross of Christ is the way. From there, we by faith become one with CHRIST JESUS and in Him we travel together WITH CHRIST from the Cross to the Throne boldly, for great is its power to present each of us cleansed and sanctified unto God and accepted in the beloved and His great congregation of the redeemed. Boldness in this matter comes from our faith and total confidence in Christ blood and sacrifice offering and it also comes THRU SEEING WITH OUR HEARTS GOD'S GREAT LOVE FOR US revealed thru the giving of His Son for our peace offering. Jesus fully understands the peace accomplished for us by the sacrifice of Himself. It is a sitting with God measure of peace even upon the mercy seat with God. He (Jesus) is seated down in the Throne of the holiest and that sitting with God in the Mercy Seat is the new place of the fellowship with the Father, no more a place of fear but of Peace in Love thru peace offering of Christ. Now Jesus and His Body is One with the Father in Spirit and in all things where others before him could not even touch the carnal mount or they died. Yes Jesus is SEATED with the Father and he understand fully the full measure of the peace AS HE WALKS AND SITS IN THE LIGHT OF IT, in the Throne with God His Father. As in all that Jesus went thru from the Cross to the Throne, all of it was accomplished FOR US AND BENEFITS US ALL, NO LESS THAN IT DID HIM. Jesus has always had endless peace with God the Father. He has been seated in throne of God for eternities. We are the ones that needed peace with God established. And where we see THE MAN CHRIST JESUS at the right hand of the Father is the reaching measure of the peace His Blood obtained for us as the sons of Gods in Christ. The first Adam took the world to death, hell and grave, but the second Adam puts man back in peace with God face to face, and in the redemption mix of the Holy Spirit in our spirit measure unto eternal life in heavens glory with Jesus our forerunner at our Fathers throne....Come Boldly unto.... Those who do not understand what Jesus understands about his great sacrifice, they in their minds and understanding have not sat down yet with Jesus in His rest, Comforts, and consolations at the right hand of God in the heavenly place (Ephesians 2:1-10), but are worry warts tossed this way and that way (Ephesians 4:10-16) and they are not sure one day to the next if their in the light or not in the light. If they have peace with God or have no peace with God. They are not sure one day to the next if they are saved or not saved. For their personal sight of the strength and peace power of the Greatest Peace Offering ever Sacrifice is filled with enemy smoke. But as we clearly see Jesus Christ and Him crucified for us, we must by the Vision of the Spirit of the Lord, see Jesus NOW SEATED FOR US at the Fathers right hand in the Throne of the glory of God FOR US. For as Jesus Christ and Him Crucified is the Power of God unto salvation, evenso Jesus seated at the right hand of God as a MAN is Gods way of showing us just how POWERFUL JESUS' PEACE OFFERING SACRIFICE WAS IN ITS OBTAINING. Jesus being filled with God in the Throne is like you and I being filled with the SAME GODS HOLY SPIRIT ON THE DAY OF PENTECOST in the upper room. Both entrances were wrought by the same Power and Peace, Jesus Christ blood and sacrifice. Christ ascension up into the throne of God and the HOLY GHOST descending down from the throne into the hearts of the redeemed all happened by ONE POWERFUL PEACE ESTABLISHING OFFERING, Jesus Christ and Him Crucified. Friends Listen Listen Listen. This is God given revelation light. He has given us eyes TO SEE and ears to hear....Being IN CHRIST JESUS as Paul preached and preached and preached MEANS THAT WE ARE IN, IN, IN, INSIDE THE ONE WHO IS SEATED WITH THE FATHER IN THE THRONE OF GOD. We have ENTERED INTO CHRIST. By faith in his blood, death, and resurrection we have entered into the AUDITORIUM OF HIS BODY and we have found and taken OUR SEAT in that great Ark Auditorium, the auditorium of HIS RISEN BODY where in we sit with Christ in God in the covenant of endless peace. (Colossians 1:4 & Isaiah 54:5-10). Friends there exist no greater peace with God that is, or that can be expressed above being seated with Him (Jesus) in HIS HOLY AND MAGNIFICENT THRONE. Church, We are IN CHRIST JESUS. We are INSIDE the very one seated with the Father in the Throne of God. We are IN CHRIST JESUS the true Ark of our eternal refuge and that Ark has landed and docked and it has landed and docked in the throne of God with the Father. All this was Gods doings, Loves own doing, and it is marvelous in the eyes of THOSE THAT SEE. Friends Jesus is the difference maker. If your still terrified about God then in your understanding Gods love revealed in Christ Jesus is less magnified and the old testament tormenting fear is still dominating you. In your redemption understanding the veil is somewhat still up. That dividing curtain has not yet been torn into or it is just halfway ripped. Your understanding of what Jesus accomplished thru the blood of His Cross is in the dark. You need your eyes further opened to the knowledge of God in Christ Jesus about the PEACE OFFERING of His Sons sacrifice. Christ died not in vain but died to have a glorious life more abundantly effect upon us all thru faith in the power of God in the Cross of Christ. Jesus and His Blood is our salvation. Jesus and His Blood is our eternal redemption. Jesus and His Blood and the sacrifice of himself is our constant unchanging peace with God....Amen.....Scroll Down. Below Read the Peace Offerings Covenant Promise. Isaiah 54:7-10New King James Version (NKJV) 7 “For a brief moment in time I have forsaken you, But with GREAT MERCIES I will gather you. 8 With a little wrath I hid My face from you for a moment; But with EVERLASTING KINDNESS I will have mercy on you,” Says the Lord, your REDEEMER (Jesus). 9 “For this is like the waters of Noah to Me (In My Oath Swearings and the Keeping of My Words) For as I have Sworn That the waters of Noah would no longer cover the earth, SO HAVE I SWORN (Well, what did our Redeemer Swear to Us?) I HAVE SWORN That I would not be angry with you, nor rebuke you. 10 For the mountains shall depart And the hills be removed, But My kindness shall not depart from you, Nor shall My covenant of peace be removed,” SWEARS the Lord, who has mercy on you. .....deno......share freely.
Gods love is so deep for us that He calls us by His Name, by His own Name. Every loving father gives his children HIS NAME. Every loving father calls their children by their name by the seed connection that the child is BORN OF. This is totally normal and natural in our world. Even so it is also normal and natural to do so in the heavenly world. It is just that in Christ Jesus, the name, the SPIRITS NAME that we are called by happens to be the most glorious and most Highest Royal Name of the highest royalty in all of heaven and earth forever. The whole FAMILY of God is named with the Fathers Name. If His Great Name is not your name then you are not His child, his offspring. Christ is the ROYAL SEED we are born of. We are so connected to the Fathers Name that really we are supposed to think by and do all things as His children (not as strangers or as foreigners, but as His very own greatly loved and perfectly belonging to Him children) in His Name, the Name of Jesus Christ. Paul said, In all you do, do all in the name of Jesus Christ. We are to be children of God, called by His Great Name Minded. We are ROYAL CHILDREN of THE MOST HIGH and of His Most High Far Above All Name in Christ Jesus the King of kings. You and I in Christ are those kings he is King of...We are Royalty, a royal Priesthood..We are the sons and daughters of the MOST HIGH GOD in Christ Jesus.Lord open our eyes to all the glory in this truth and redemption light.

The Lord Swore in His love these words....I will be MERCIFUL to their sins and their iniquities I will forgive, forget, and remember them no more. That is such GOOD NEWS. Gods swearings in His Love are for our positive benefits and new day joys and strengths. Peace Jesus gave is. His peace he left with us. God also said that His mercies for our sakes are renewed every morning....Why? Well one reason is because more than we fully know God longs to walk and fellowship with us everyday, even all day. He is always ON for this. His love for us is so deep and so real that this is His daily Hot Desire towards us. He is never lukewarm concerning His love and goodwill for His children. God is always on fire for His people. Well sin can come between our fellowship with God, So God has to make His mercies NEW for us EVERY MORNING or the new day for fellowship with us and us with Him is already spoiled. He is not behind the veil anymore. That veil was torn in twain and ever since that day God is out looking for people , for us to fill us and our lives up with Himself and all His goodness thru faith in His Sons reconciling blood. God this morning, right now, is Hot in a good way. He is so ready to forgive you and put all those sins of yesterday and of all our yesterdays in the grace and MERCY of His promise to totally remove them from us as for as east is from the west.This is one of the GOOD THINGS Christ Blood Speaks for us. And God Swore, yes on His mighty throne of His grace and love, God rose up and Swore to give us this strong strong strong comfort and consolation for our and His sake, He swore to REMEMBER THEM (Our sins) NO MORE . I will be merciful to their unrighteousness God promised and their sins and iniquities will I remember no more He SWORE. This is one of those NEW COVENANT BETTER PROMISES. God is Far More Hot to forgive you and cleanse you of all unrighteousness than most think. He is in no wise lukewarm about this promise or about any area of His Love for us. He wants to fellowship and walk WITH YOU in love and grace thru Jesus Christ whose blood was shed to fulfill His Fathers love, peace, and goodwill desire for you. Don't let the devil deceive you to make you think God will not forgive you. And don't let the accuser of the brethren make you think it is God accusing you over and over again about your past sins, IT IS NOT. God Swore, God Swore, God Swore I will me merciful. I will forgive. I will cleanse You. I will remove your sins from you as far as east is from the west. He Swore this also (and the MOUTH OF GOD CANNOT LIE),.... I SWEAR YOUR SINS I WILL FORGIVE AND REMEMBER THEM NO MORE. All these above goodwill promises of God towards us, God has sworn them in His love for us and in total high honor of the redeeming sacrifice of Jesus His Son. God honors these promises. They are sacred ground to Him written in the blood of His Sons Sufferings. Satan is the one that dishonors these words, these great and precious promises. It is the devil that keeps bringing them (your past and your forgiven sins up) NOT THE SWEARING GOD THAT CAN BY NO MEANS EVER BREAK A PROMISE. Let us with God honor His Son Jesus this morning and every day and believe in the love God has for us and walk and live in the fellowship of the new covenant forgiveness. This is a New Day. Lets live it with our Wonderful Father and Jesus washed in the blood of the Lamb Happy and set Free, for whom the Son sets free is FREE INDEED. Good morning Father. Good Morning Jesus. Good Morning Holy Spirit. Good Morning Church. Good Morning Angels.....Amen......Jesus & deno.....share freely.
The world needs to be concerned about what God has sworn in His wrath. For them that should be a major concern for sure, for such light pertains to eternal and everlasting matters. For surely there is a glorious heaven to gain and a terrible hell to shun. But you and I that are In Christ Jesus, we are partakers of the love of Christ and are bodily members of Christ risen state and bodily members in the spirit of His presently SEATED POSITION. His peace is our peace. My peace I give you Jesus said. No greater peace with God can ever be so demonstrated above being SEATED with God in the Throne of His glory in the heavenly places. That is the highest peace with God possible on the peace measuring scale and brethren that is the peace with God Jesus gave us. (He gave us His own peace with the Father). See Ephesians 2:1-10 and (Ephesians 2:11-18). In this whole matter I give you this revelation; Christ is our head in this matter, and we are His flesh and bone in the same togetherness. We that believe and belong to Christ, we cannot be separated from him even as He can no longer be separated ever again form his resurrected flesh and bone risen body. We cannot be separated from Jesus not at the Cross (Paul said I have been crucified with Christ), nor in the resurrection (Paul said I am risen with Christ). Neither can we be separated from being risen with Christ into the heavenly places of His glory. And we cannot be separated from being seated with Him for we are His own flesh and bone body. (See Ephesians 2:1-10). ON earth Jesus is IN US and in heaven we are IN HIM. Our oneness with Jesus in the Body of Christ connection is fact and in the spirit, (that is in our spirit) is found all the markings of the full complete passage and pass from death unto life risen with Christ realities. It is an heavenly thing as Jesus preached in John 3. When you grasp the redeeming HEAVENLY light that is shining from the It Is Written that is gleaming from in all these words, you will have more spiritual (position) understanding obtained than what most of the church has had for centuries. Jesus shared with me some time ago and said, Trace My Body from the Cross to the Throne and you will see where you are at in the spirit. My bodies adventures from the Cross to the Throne is your spirits right now same adventures from death unto eternal life everlasting. I called it Being Born Again. (John 5:24 is the the new birth of the spirit not of the flesh.) When Jesus is your peace with God and HE IS, and remember everything about Jesus is PERFECT (Ephesians 2:14 & Romans 5:1), then you have PERFECT COVENANT PEACE with God. We have so great a peace with God which is Jesus himself, that the Holy Sinless Spirit, God has poured out and shed abroad in our hearts. He that men feared in the old covenant behind the holy of holies and that tip toed into his present and were scared they would be struck down by protecting angels if they entered unlawfully, the same Holy God that they feared, because of the peace Jesus purchased for us with God and for God with us thru the blood of His Cross, that same Holy God on the day of Pentecost came RUNNING and RUSHING towards the children of the new covenant, and He came to them pouring Himself MIGHTILY into their hearts, into the hearts of the believers who were justified by faith in Christ blood. None of them dropped dead. None of them got sick. None of them were stricken with fear, or put in some sort of spiritual bondage but they were all filled with the Holy Ghost Joy, Strength, and Power and they were hilariously happy during to the infilling. They were so hilariously happy that local people accused them of being HIGH or drunk with some sort of new wine. Today we would probably say new drug. Well they were happy and they were filled with gladness and it was a Fine Wine that they were Partaking of. It was heavens Finest Wine called the Holy Ghost, the divine delicious Joy of the Lord. The scriptures says that IN GODS PRESENCE is fullness of Joy. Well on the day of Pentecost, the first church was SURELY in the presence of God as He out-poured His Spirit into them IN HIS LOVING PROMISE (Swearing) to do so. Also concerning our great peace with God and salvation, the bible says that Jesus has delivered us from the wrath of God (1 Thess 1:10) and the bible even calls us in the spirit ALREADY DELIVERED from the power of darkness and ALREADY TRANSLATED into the kingdom of Jesus Christ in the spirit (Colossians 1:12-14 & John 5:24). None of this deliverance from and none of this translated into could have occurred if we did not have perfect peace with God to allow it. None of these good things mentioned above could be true concerning us if we had no peace with God. But being that the Holiest, the eternal sinless Spirit of the living God has been poured into our hearts, that gift itself thunders loudly in a living sermon and in a living speech how great peace we have with God if your eyes really see that message. Yes the world should be seriously concerned about what God has sworn in His wrath, but you and I in Christ Jesus God has called us TO PEACE. We who are In Christ are the children of the covenant of Everlasting Peace by the peace we have with God thru the blood of His Own Cross ( Isaiah 54:7-10 & Hebrews 13:20-21 & 2 Thess 3:16). ........We in Christ Jesus should feast with joy upon all this bread, as we surely know and confidently believe in the love God has for us. We should feast off of all God has SWORN to us IN HIS LOVE, not what he has sworn in his wrath (See and read Isaiah 54:8-10). The wrath of God bread does not belong to the children. Our Bread is what God has Sworn to us in His Love for us in Honor of His Sons peace offering sacrifice. In Christ Jesus we are not the children of the wrath of God but the heirs of so great a salvation and the children of the New Covenant of everlasting life and peace with God. Some people think and preach as if Christ has not been to the Cross, that there is no peace nor goodwill between God and man. Some people think and preach as if the great PEACE OFFERING has not yet occurred. Yet friends "The day of Pentecost"surely preaches loud and clearly that the PEACE OFFERING has already taken place and when that days infilling events are really understood, you know then that there is a Great New Covenant of Peace we have with God thru Christ and His Blood that speaks Peace and Goodwill from God to men by Jesus Christ. Church, brethren.... In the great peace we now have with God, Jesus sat down with God in the highest heaven and on the day of Pentecost God the Highest came down from heaven to earth and Sat Down with us inside these New Temples of the living Gods Spirit Indwelling. The Same Exact Peace caused both SITTING EVENTS and in both events all was good and happy events. I remember some time ago saying to the Lord, Lord as you talk to me in this Peace Light I NOTICED SOMETHING. What was that you noticed, he whispered. I said well I noticed on the day of Pentecost when the Holy Spirit of the holiest of all came to the believers, the church, I noticed that He did not hesitate at all in His entering them. The Lord said, that is right, for son in the wisdom of God in redemption glory I was landing upon and entering into the same flesh that I entered at the Jordan River. I thought on that for a moment. Hmmm, same flesh, same body, one body..... THEN I SAW IT. THE BODY OF CHRIST IS HIS (Jesus') FLESH AND BONE. Jesus said that there is only ONE BODY, the Body of Christ flesh and bone which is the church, the fulness of Him that filleth all in all. He hesitated not because He was coming upon and entering into the same flesh of the same ONE BODY of the Son of God whose body is made up of MANY MEMBERS who all together as One are His Flesh and His Bone and not their own..We have been ENGRAFTED into Jesus' EVERYTHING. Yes you can study the wrath of God and such a study has its place, but way more so the children of the covenant of endless peace should study- of the things God has SWORN to us in His Love. Those precious good things should be our continuous DAILY BREAD. There is a BREAD that belongs to the children of peace that the children of wrath have no right to feast upon. It is the children's Bread that Jesus said belongs not to the world, but to the sons and daughters of God In Christ. It is the Bread of all that God has SWORN to us IN HIS LOVE in the covenant of peace thru faith in the PEACE OFFERING of Christ atoning blood. God himself has prepared all this bread of His lovingkindness for us and has set all that good and delicious bread on the table that He has set before us even in the presence of our enemies. His enemies have no right to this bread, IT IS THE CHILDRENS BREAD.....Amen....Jesus & deno.
Jesus said to the disciples, Do not go preaching the good news until you are endued with My Power from on High. This spake our Lord of the Holy Spirit. The prophet wrote by the hand of the Lord upon him, He wrote, Not by human power, nor by the might of men, BUT BY MY SPIRIT, saith the Lord. The Holy Spirit, the Anointing, the Power of the Spirit of the Lord is the difference maker. You know the disciples, being free willed creatures in Christ just like Adam & Eve were and just as Adam and Eve did, they could have chosen to not obey the Lord and not wait on the Lord, to not wait for the Holy Spirit. They could have gone forth preaching in their own power, talents, zeal, and human might but they would have gone forth with much less spiritual spunk and power than what by Jesus Christ is available. They would have been out there AHEAD OF THE LORD instead of FOLLOWING Him. Not Gods best position for us. Sort of like Moses striking that rock instead of FOLLOWING GODS ORDERS. God told Moses go and speak to the rock and the waters will flow. Moses along the way, having also his own free will, he got mad at the stubbornness of the people of Israel and he struck the rock in his humanity (anger) with his staff instead of speaking to it. It cost him an entrance into the earthly promise and blessing God wanted Moses to have and enjoy with the people of Israel in the earthly promise land that flowed with milk and honey. Disobedience Robs. God prefers saving people by the preaching/speaking of the gospel and goodness of God thru Jesus Christ to even the stoniest of hearts, than to beat the people into entering His Living Waters with wrath upon wrath. It is a comparison of faith verses works. Grace verse Law. The word of faith verses the whip of the Rod called the Law. Mercy verses the stone. Friend you, me and all the church need the Holy Spirit in the preaching of the gospel than human talents. We know non called nor anointed wolves have actually preached the gospel and have gathered crowds unto them only to later find out they were wolves in sheep's clothing (Jim Jones and others). The Holy Ghost and the love of God was not in them at all, but they startled people with their ability to listen to real preachers, preach those sermons and mimic the style of the truly called and the truly anointed. Let us be true to God and grow and increase in the grace and knowledge of our risen Lord Jesus Christ. He said do not go until you are filled the Holy Ghost and Power. He is the difference maker. We want need all those emotional songs when the Holy Ghost is in manifestation. Paul, Peter, James, Phillip, Stephen, John nor any of the early disciples, preachers, evangelist did not need emotional songs to move people to God and to faith and entrance into the kingdom. The Holy Ghost and His power was their difference maker. Now do not take this wrong. Like many of you I to enjoy praise and worship and loving Jesus songs and music. But we need more than that the power of God which the first church had at work in them IN US. Jesus even said so. He the Holy Ghost is the difference maker. People get all emotional and rain down tears listening to secular emotion stirrings songs to. We need Gods power from on High. Friends, church, God help us. It is late in the game. We are in the fourth and final quarter. It is time to get real with God. For what is ahead and for what we shall face from the enemies of the Cross. It will take more than emotional boo hooing songs to withstand in the evil day. Now music has its place, but the Holy Ghost is the power and the glory of the true difference. Always has been and ever shall be. It is time to seek God with our all and be filled with the Holy Ghost. Have you received the Holy Spirit since you believed? The first disciples asked that same question as well. They knew from Jesus its great importance and need. They knew from their own personal experience what it was like for the Lord to be WITH THEM (which is good) and they knew what it was like having the same Lord INSIDE THEM (which was FAR BETTER (see John 14:15-17)..Big Difference they learned. Father in Jesus name fill us with the Holy Spirit, with His Love and Fire and Power of God and make in us to this generation the Big Difference by the effective workings of the Power of the Spirit of the Lord that the name of Jesus Christ and his gospel by glorified beyond all yesterdays grace history. Let Christ love and light shine and rule. Amen.......deno.....share freely.
