Dog Paddling to Save Yourself and Backsliding from Grace is draining your joy in the Lord.....share freely.....deno.

Psalm 4:7...New Living Translation (NLT)

7 You have given me greater joy

than those who have abundant harvests of grain and new wine.

.......There pours out from the throne of Christ and His light a river of joy that exceeds all gladness known to the world. Christ said there exist food the world knows not of and there is a joy that the world knows not of. 

.......The path to that river of greater gladness and joy of heart and soul FEW FIND. Some do find it and their days are filled with lightness and brightness and soul rich rejoicings. Others have found it but the souls enemy comes to talk or preach it out of them or persecute it out of them. Some survive the doctrinal back talk against grace and some survive the blows of that persecution and maintain the joy from on high. Others for this reason or that weather not the back talk or the storm raged against their peace and the joy becomes QUENCHED and their excitement in the Lord dulls down. They someway lose their rest in the Lord.

.......Usually or lets say quite often its by the subtle re entrance of doctrines that salvation is by works of self and legalism and of the old wine (THE LAW) and not by grace thru Christ that their JOY begins to be drained. They become loaded down again in the soul and in their thinking with religious weights and bundles that grieves Grace as they try to (WITH WORKS and religious dog paddling) save themselves and stay risen with Christ, when already with Christ by the grace and gift of God they are saved and they have already been risen with Christ as these scriptures reveal. (Colossians 3:1-4 & John 5:24 & Ephesians 2:1-10).

.......Grace backsliding and Religious dog paddling is miserable work. It torments peace and crushes joy. No rest to the soul have those who are trying to dog paddle their way to heaven by their own works and not leaning all on Christ and him crucified. They are living in doubt and in doubt there is no BLESSED ASSURANCE.

.......But such thinking and religious dog paddling Paul said wears us out and makes you fall from the risen with Christ by grace heights, joy, and peace. Somehow, that which is SALVATION by grace thru faith and the FREE GIFT OF GOD is deceived out of your thinking and you try to earn with your works what was already paid for in full and freely given to you by the receiving of faith. In your thinking Grace is no more Grace and Satan turns you into a religious fear filled doubting slave again as you try to earn with YOUR OWN SWEAT what was freely given you thru GODS OWN BLOOD.

........Friends Christ is not double minded about the free gift. He knows the great and incomparable price he paid to save you and give us that salvation as a precious gift and he was there when that gift was paid for IN FULL and FULLY PURCHASED.

........Until your heart sees that the gift of salvation has been paid for in full and the purchase transaction already fully completed, you have not found the REST AREA that God has called us into in Christ. The joy unspeakable and full of glory Peter wrote about is still waiting for you to discover it. You will not ever discover it in this life as long as you are trying to save yourself by religious dog paddling, nor will you taste it if in you you are backsliding from grace and from the knowledge that God has already paid for the gift IN FULL thru the blood of His Own Cross..

........King David from time to time, in his heart he found that blessed path of the greater joy found in our text and he wrote of its reward to the soul to those few that find it and experience its spiritual joy delicious taste. A joy he said that exceeds the gladness of those who make great profits and that is greater than the merriness of those who are high on this worlds best wines or weeds.

........David did not find that path to the greater joys of the presence of the Lord because he was king, but because his heart became hungry for the things of God and for the presence of God. As he wrote in his findings, he wrote, In Gods presence is fulness of Joy and at his right hand (which is to us a place of near my heart to thee communion and fellowship with God where Christ everyday resides) are satisfying pleasure forevermore.

........So like the truth and the old song says...Seek God with all your heart and you will find and we in Christ must trust and obey the Lord. We must trust and obey for there is no other way to be really happy in Jesus but to trust and obey..SEEK GOD, SEEK HIM WITH YOUR WHOLE HEART and DISCOVER THE REWARDS THE LORD PROMISED THOSE THAT DO.The Joy of His Presence, The joy of God drawing closer to you as you with your heart in the REST OF FAITH draw nigh to Him......deno.

The love me don't judge me delusion and lie.....share freely.....deno.

       Satan's spirit and his satanic deceiving counterfeit love demands the right for every sin and lust and way of life to have its right, freedom, and course without any form of counter judgement. All who oppose Satan's satanic love and anything goes rules he cleverly calls haters when the opposite itself is the real truth. God who is perfect love says, Thou shalt not and he says that a lot.
      God who is real love, even perfect love, as a loving parent says the Thou shalt not because He is trying to save you and protect you from Satan and evil, and from joining Satan in his fall to the bottomless pit.

       Satan's spirit and love includes all out rebellion against God and the drawn lines of God saying anything goes. But Gods who is love, even perfect love does not allow every lust and way of life to have its right, freedom. and course without consequence.
        Think about it....Hell is filled with souls that thought love does not judge, but love tolerates all and love gives liberty and equal rights to every desire and lust without consequence....Satan deceived those souls in hell with his love me don't judge me delusion and lie. Do not be deceived the bible says, for God cannot be mocked.

Time To Re-Salt America...It is time for light and serious law and order......share freely......deno.

........Freedom without the enforcement of biblical morals and law is bondage. In today's America, everything seems to have a demanded place in the name of freedom. Music with murderous lyrics. Music with hate in every line. Music with a chip on its shoulders. Music glorifying evil and promoting rebellion, uprisings, violence, and the despising of authority and THE SHOOTING OF COPS. The burning of our flag and the chants of the foreigners allowed into our nation who scream death to America was never ever allowed in the original intent of our founding fathers freedom declarations. Our tolerance in the name of freedom has produced and fed these murderous monsters that we are having to deal with in our present society. Tolerance is one of evils most favorite words. It gives place to devils and demonic monstrous ways expressed thru people who seem to favor and cleave to darkness more than light..
.......Our founding fathers did not intend for every lust, every emotion, every confusion, every hate and bitterness to have its own liberty of expression without restraint. Just like their intent for Freedom of Religion was never meant to be a Satanic allowance, or for witches to stir the pot as given so much place to today in the American society that is turning to rot right before our tolerating eyes. Salt has lost its savor in the American society and streets. Tolerance desalted the system and now we are rotting from decay and lack of preserving SALT within.
.......Today we are a nation lost in our own delusion as we lie to ourselves saying, it is politically correct that all sins and evil, and that every deceitful lust, belief, and desire was included in the founding fathers foundation statements of Americas liberties....Freedom stretched beyond the boundaries of its original intent is destroying this nation that it was implemented to make free and to save.
.......We haven't but a short time folks to get the American house back in order before rebellion and uprisings destroy our nation. Lawlessness has been allowed to increase and abound in the name of all tolerance and liberties and we are more and more reaping the harvest of our immoral allowances..It is time to bring THE SALT BACK into our people, nation and streets. It is time for light, law, and order....We must take our country back.....deno......share freely.

Gods Promise To Quench Our Thirst and to Satisfy Our hunger for More of Jesus.......deno.....share freely.

......Jesus said, It is those that hunger and thirst for God and his righteousness that will experience from God being filled and being satisfied. Those that find Christ and his words dull and boring never experience the thirst quenching Spirit of the Lord because they are not hungry or thirsty for him. Their cup in life is full of themselves and their own ambitions and world gatherings. Jesus is to them just a part time occasional thought, hook up, or an amusement conversation, if that. But as with anything, without passion there is no real satisfaction. God told us all the passion it takes to really FIND MORE OF GOD...He said, You will find Me, when you thirst for Me and seek after Me with ALL YOUR HEART....Friends now that is THE FINDING GOD PASSION.
...... Jesus also said, He that is thirsty, Come unto me and drink..And concerning the Living Water of the Spirit of the Lord Jesus that he has given us to drink, we do testify that there is plenty to drink of Christ glory and presence and eternal Spirit, for all of us for all eternity. The whole Universe and all the creations and all of heaven is filled with the presence and Spirit of the Lord. So surely friends our hearts and souls God can fill up with His Spirit and Joy overflowing with ease IF WE WILL ONLY LET HIM.
......John wrote in his letter these words to Christians...He said, And our fellowship (our supping) day unto day is with the Father and with His Son Jesus Christ (1 John 1:3).
......John never was avoiding Christ, pushing him away, or resisting Christ words or His Spirit...Matter of fact John wanted to be filled with more and more of the presence of the Lord Jesus everyday and he sought God daily for the same. John was always hungry for more of Jesus the bread of life. He stayed hungering for more and he thirsted to be filled with more of Jesus, for he had heard the Lord with his own ears say that it was those that hungered and thirsted after the things of God, they were the ones that became by God the satisfied. They were the ones who would really experience Gods delicious satisfying grace, the grace of His thirst quenching presence in their heart and souls.
.......And Johns thirst was satisfied by the Lord of the thirst quenching promise. John got filled with the visitation and appearance of Jesus in a way none had before seen as the the Lord Jesus appeared to John in his awing resurrection glory, and and and, John got filled with the mighty visions and sights and information as revealed in the book of Revelations.
......Friends, Stay hungering and thirsting for MORE OF THE LORD. Who knows what the Lord might himself put into your lifted cup......deno.....share freely.

The Price for distant following...Roosters Crying Everywhere......share freely......deno.

Matthew 28:57(...but Peter followed Jesus FROM A DISTANCE...)

John 18:24-25....Authorized (King James).

24 Now Annas had sent him (Jesus) bound unto Caiaphas the high priest.

25 And Simon Peter stood and warmed himself (From where? From that distant position). They said therefore unto him, Art not thou also one of his disciples? He denied it, and said, I am not....and in another place Peter said, I know not this man.

......So many prices we pay in this world when we do wrong or when we make the bad choice, or when we become slack in our important commitments. As a Christian, following Jesus in these last days from a distance is a very serious wrong move and a very costly decision. It is a position of the heart that has been proven to give place to demonic situation set ups that the enemy sets up against us for our hurt and denials of Christ. We see nothing in the scriptures to comfort the heart that is far from the Lord in the last days, Not one. Mercy and the Spirit of Jesus always pleads every soul to NOW DRAW NIGH TO GOD and to ENTER IN before its to late..
......When Christ made his incredible Messianic visitation to his people Israel, though God was right there suddenly before them and in their presence, so many he found were giving him lots of lip service, outward appearance showings, but their hearts he found FAR FROM HIM. Such a distant following of the Lord did NO GOOD to anyone in Israel that were in captivity to that distant following, and the same DISTANT FOLLOWING OF CHRIST will not do any good to any of us today whose hearts have embraced it. Such distant following cost most of Israel their soul and left their house a house called desolation, which being interpreted means EMPTY OF GOD. Jesus because Israels heart was FAR FROM HIM, he said, Behold your house is a house of desolation. You are now empty of the Spirit of the Lord. And you shall not see Me here again, not until you learn to cry, blessed is he who comes in the name of the Lord. Friend nothing good comes from DISTANT FOLLOWING.....NOTHING.
......Jesus spoke of servants and believers that pull themselves away from the table of close knit serving and fellowship with him. The picture Jesus drew in these words have no farewell ending to the hearts of those who find DISTANT FOLLOWING comforting. Lord have mercy on us all. Here are those words below.
.......Luke 12:41-48...New King James Version (NKJV)

41 Then Peter said to Him, “Lord, do You speak this parable only to us, or to all people?”

42 And the Lord said, “Who then is that faithful and wise steward, whom his master will make ruler over his household, to give them their portion of food in due season? 43 Blessed is that servant whom his master will find so doing when he comes. 44 Truly, I say to you that he will make him ruler over all that he has.
45 But if that servant says in his heart, ‘My master is delaying his return,’ and begins to beat the male and female servants, and to eat and drink and be drunk, 46 the master of that servant will come on a day when he is not looking for him, and at an hour when he is not aware, and will cut him in two and appoint him his portion with the unbelievers. 47 And that servant who knew his master’s will, and did not prepare himself or do according to his will, shall be beaten with many stripes. 48 But he who did not know, yet committed things deserving of stripes, shall be beaten with few. For everyone to whom much is given, from him much will be required; and to whom much has been committed, of him they will ask the more.

......Church, Jesus said either be hot or cold, but be nothing in between. He said no lukewarm following him or lukewarm serving Jesus is acceptable. Fit or unfit, good and faithful, or slacking and distant following is in our power. It is our choice..The world, powers that be in America, and political correctness are pushing at us to deny Jesus publicly. Jesus, all of heaven, and the Roosters are watching how we will respond...scroll down.

......NOTE...Since Satan was able to make those of Christ inner circle deny him though they knew him more than all and set them up by their DISTANT FOLLOWING as to deny that they even knew the Lord, let not any of us today think we are safe in following Jesus at a distance. Satan sees that distance in our hearts also and when he brings again another strong persecution against Jesus and his gospel in this world in the last days, those that follow Christ slothfully and distantly may very well deny that they know the Lord when the pressure is on. The roosters that reflect our denials of Christ may be crowing and crying out everywhere against us....Friend it is time for all of us to become HOT for Jesus in all things....Amen....deno....share freely.
