.......Jesus appeared to Paul with a purpose. To give Paul the spirit of wisdom and of revelation in the knowledge of God, His Son, and redemption. He also appeared to Paul to put Paul into ministry and to have him write and teach and preach all He was going to show him and REVEAL to him about God, about Jesus the Christ, about redemption and about the Church, the things of the Spirit of God and so many other things.
...... Those revelations. those things Jesus revealed to Paul were in abundance (2 Cor 12:7). One subject that Jesus gave the spirit of wisdom and of revelation to Paul about was Gods love, the greatness of Gods love revealed and fully expressed in Jesus Christ. Gods love was still not real clear in the land. The church was seeing Gods love in shallow levels. Seemed only John really had a deeper insight into Christ great love and John wrote in measure what he understood. But Paul was given the length, the breath, the depth and the height revelations of Christ love that passed natural human thought and understanding.He wrote some of that given light in Romans 5:5-11. What an awing edifying the believer revelation.
......In Ephesians chapter 3:14-21 Paul said that THE CHURCH must be STRENGTHENED by Gods Spirit in the inner man to know and understand the love of Christ that passeth knowledge. Yes he said THE CHURCH to grasp Christ love we must be strengthened by Gods Spirit to obtain the length, the width, the breadth, and the height of Gods love in Christ awing measure..
......Christ love is by no means a shallow measure that just anyone can comprehend, but one of such VAST DEPTHS OF GREATNESS that EVEN THE CHURCH HAS TO HAVE THEIR EYES OPENED TO IT and BE EMPOWERED TO COMPREHEND IT. And since the church must or has to be empowered by God to see it and comprehend it, then the world in its blindness by no normal natural means can know it, and they must depend on us THE CHURCH to unveil it to them in the form of light, works, deeds, wisdom, and power.
......Friends what if we as believers (as the church) never attained to such strengthening to see the full greatness of Christ incredible love? Would not that effect how we perceive God and effect the measure of how we understand this glorious good news gospel that we have given us in Christ Jesus and how we demonstrate the love of Christ with power in this world and to the world? It certainly would.
.......Church it is time for the bride of Christ to break thru this glass ceiling. Time to get to praying earnestly Pauls prayer in Ephesians 3:14-21 for ourselves and for all the saints..That we be STRENGTHENED BY GODS SPIRIT IN OUR INNER MAN to comprehend the length, the breadth, the width, and the height of the love of Christ which passeth normal reasoning and knowledge. When we reach that light level, Paul said the results will be this awesome grace glory. He said in verse 19 that those that obtain that higher lever of understanding Christ love will end up BEING FILLED WITH ALL THE FULNESS OF GOD in their life....WOW WOW WOW ...Glory to God...Im On....Join me in this prayer and its glory to come....Amen...PRAY without ceasing Ephesians 3:14-21....deno.
......The gospel was planted and born, it grew up and flourished, it even took over people and nations that viciously wrestled and warred against it at the first. (Read that again listening).
......The word of the gospel my friends can bore thru rock. It can take root and grow up into great fruitfulness even from the most hardest dried up ground. It is the miracle producing power of God producing life and promises fulfilled even in the midst of the greatest resistance.
.......Gods word called the gospel is THE POWER OF GOD unto...unto salvation and unto many needs met.The gospel and all its promises just needs our faith to activate it's glory in our lives and nation. The mix of faith is the vital key. The power in the gospel is never the problem. The mix of real faith is.
.......Since therefore the gospel with its power and glory bore thru the rock of Christ grave and into the deadness of his crucified body and raised him from the dead, there exist no situation or circumstance that the word of the gospel which is the power of God cannot be applied to in faith that it cannot heal, mend, supply,or fix..
.......Therefore from the gospel are given unto us exceeding great and precious promises so that by the power of the glory of God in them, we can partake of the presence of the Spirit of Gods glorious power given us in Christ for life and godliness, filling us with a real and living hope each day and night for all situations.....Fear not Jesus told us and BELIEVE ONLY and he said then we would see THE GLORY OF GOD (The gospels powers)....deno.
......It did not matter how holy the people of Israel seemed to be, looked to be, or appeared to be. Jesus told them. If you do not believe that i am the Christ, you will perish in your sins (John 8:21-24))...In this Jesus was revealing that by the works and deeds of the Holy Law no man will be justified in the sight of God for no one could keep it perfectly. The just shall be justified by faith. Mix your hearts faith with Jesus Christ crucified for your sins and resurrected from the dead for your justification. Christ is Risen indeed. Jesus said to Israel His First Covenant People, "Be Believing or be perishing". He has said the same to the rest of the world (Mark 16:15-16)...This is the word of the Lord.
Our preaching dad often rebuked me sharply and chastised me for my many wrongs growing up, but he always still loved me, called me son, forgave me, and restored our Father to son fellowship. You see my many wrongs never changed our father to son RELATIONSHIP..I was certainly BORN of MY FATHERS SEED....What he restored was our FELLOWSHIP...We need to discern THE DIFFERENCE..Mercy and forgiveness are Gods power weapons for all renewals, refreshing's, reconciliations, and restorations of all fellowships. Even yours to His.
Our heavenly Father has loved us with an everlasting love in Christ whose tie and bind is even greater than what i experienced with my earthen father. My earthen fathers love overwhelmed me over the years of how true and genuine it was. It even brought me to all these writings that i do in honor of him and Jesus now.
Yes my earthen dad really loved me and gave himself for me daily as a caring loving dad. HOW MUCH MORE OUR HEAVENLY FATHER who is perfect love loves us all even far more?. Most peoples problem is they have a tainted image of Gods love for them. A very shallow measure of understanding of the greatness of our Heavenly Fathers great love for us (John 17:23). Many can tell you and preach to you sermon after sermon about the wrath of God with hell, fire, and brimstone.. But greater is Gods love than his wrath...FAR FAR GREATER.
God created hell which is said to be a small portion of this earths inner region down inside the core of this earth out of His wrath for the evil mean sinful unloving uncaring brutal spirits that rebelled, but with HIS LOVE God created all of the vast and beautiful heaven and earth and the entire Universe and the Cross of Christ whereby by His love for us he redeemed and saved us, and swore in His love to us that he would love us with His Everlasting Love and Everlasting Life thru Christ...
......There is no sin and no situation that God with His great love cannot forgive, fix, heal, restore, and mend. We just need to humble ourselves before the Lord so that we are not resisted by God. For the scriptures says, God resisteth the proud but gives his grace to the humble....Love you friend.
As it is written, And God has poured into our hearts the Spirit of Jesus His Son whereby we cry unto God Abba, Father, Daddy my Dad....deno.....share freely.
......Sometimes what we as Christians are battling within on the inside or in our lives, is a battle of or from something going on in the heavenly realms. Good verses evil, light clashing with darkness, all striving to control our lives, our days, our time, our interest, our words, our choices, our thoughts and activities. They even try to control our prayer life, prayer time, faith and what it is that we pray, decree, and say...
......Job on earth went thru something that first was going on in heavenly realms, then secondly he entered it in his earthly life and wrestled with all of it. Satan wanted Job to curse God..But the trial did not come to Job until first planted in the heavenly realm of two opposing powers, God and Satan..Something to think about..
......For we wrestle not with flesh and blood but against (Your up AGAINST THEM in the wrestling) against the powers and the rulers of the darkness of this world and with wicked spirits in heavenly realms...Salt is battling the spices of sin, and light is battling the powers of darkness.
.......We (the saints) are often times the arena of the conflict because of the great authority Jesus gave the church. Jesus said what we the church bind on earth is bound in heaven and what we the church loose on earth is loosed in heaven. He gave us the greatest power and authority on earth. What we do with it is our decision. We are battled against because the powers of light and of darkness are trying to control things on earth thru us (THE CHURCH) because we are the only ones Jesus gave those keys to on the earth. The powers of the heavenlies try to control how we use THOSE KEYS or that HIGHEST AUTHORITY on earth. Our nation right now is in a spiritual conflict and in a severe battle over that very thing. The Church of believers must stand strong right now in the Lord and in the power of HIS MIGHT. Using Those Keys He gave Us,. Those keys contain Christ Power and Christ Full Might and Authority..It is all in HIS GREAT and MIGHTY NAME...The Name which is above every name, Jesus Christ.....
......Jesus had and operated in that greatest power and authority that exist and he often times used those keys and using those keys (That far above all power and authority) he would bind the evil spirits and the demons in the crowds and would not even let them speak...That my friends is the same power and authority given us the church in Jesus Name that Jesus gave us. He gave us the keys. What we bind on earth and what we loose in heavenly realms is in our power in Jesus Name..When Jesus did not allow the demons to speak he was binding them on earth thru reaching into the heavenly realm using His far reaching authority and power that encompasses now all of heaven and earth (See Matthew 28:18-20)..
......Church, the course or the way of this nation is according to the saltiness of the Salt of the church applied or not applied, and the way we use the keys that Jesus gave us by which Jesus bound demons mouths shut often in many crowds, many towns, and cities..It is up to us. WE HAVE THE POWER...WE HAVE THE KEYS IN JESUS NAME.....In my Name bind the devil and cast out demons.....Jesus
Use this key with me in Jesus Name.
.....Father in Jesus Name we the church bind the devil from stopping revival from coming to America and the world and we loose the abounding grace of God to make the revival with the greatest outpouring of the Spirit of the Lord and the greatest harvest of souls saved into the kingdom of God happen greater than all the world and churches yesterday histories. Amen..
Law verses Grace...A revealing light is shinning...PRAY FOR UNDERSTANDING BEFORE YOU ENTER...deno.
.......That which gave the Mosaic Law its power over the people under that Law was the fact that it (THOSE LAWS) were COVENANT TERMS and RULES with attached consequences. If the members of the covenant obeyed the terms they became exceedingly blessed as Deuteronomy 28:1-14 reveals. But disobey those terms, those commandments and you got hit with the curses mentioned in the covenant agreement as revealed also in Deuteronomy 28:15-68....But here is the wisdom of God in redemption... Remove that covenant, abolish its terms or commandments and when you do that then the strength of the transgression (SIN) is made void or powerless over the people and the transgressions (sins) themselves are dissolved. For sin is the transgression of the Law or the transgressions of the terms of the covenant. But where there is not law sin is not imputed or there is no transgression. Friends that is Gods redemption wisdom.
......This mentioned above is where Paul got the revelation wisdom of 1 Cor 15:56...He wrote..The sting of death is sin and THE STRENGTH OF SIN IS THE LAW (meaning the strength of sin is the terms of the covenant that gives sin its reality and power and its cursing power over the people that disobey them?... And when we say terms of the covenant we mean all the 600 plus commandments found in the Law God gave to Moses.
.......The Law was not just a law or just a set of powerless rules, it was the terms of that empowered binding covenant or agreement between the parties involved which was God and Israel. If you obeyed those laws, those terms of the covenant had injected powerful blessings attached to them by Gods glory to bless beyond measure the obedient ones ON EARTH, but it also had by the injected power of a swearing God devastating curses that could make life most miserable if you transgressed against the covenant terms.
.......Well Israel nor you or I could keep those terms of that old covenant to the high demand level it demanded which was perfection (James 2:10). As it is written, Cursed is every soul that is not faithful to do all the laws, the terms of this covenant.
.......Due to the weakness of our common sinful nature and due to the wickedness in our hearts, we had spots of transgressions and blemishes of lack of obeying those commandments, those covenant terms all over the place. So God, in his mercy and love, he made diverse atonement's for our covenant transgressions of the terms of that old covenant. God injected covenant mercies to rescue us, spare us, and to save us from our sins which were our covenant transgressions. God did this sparring and saving by the blood of bulls and of goats and of the heifers etc, outpoured until the final sacrifice would come which was Christ who by the sacrifice of himself he would put away the power of our sins and the power of sin itself which was the Law. Remove the Law and the transgressions under the Law are gone away with it. That my friends is REDEMPTION. It is the wisdom of God in the Cross of Christ. Christ on the Cross was going after the dissolving of that Law to kill it so that its power over his covenant people could be broken off them. The stronger member of the covenant came down from heaven to go to the cross for the transgressions of His People to bear their sins, the sins of the weaker vessel. Christ and him crucified was a mighty covenant Sacrifice. For the covenant transgressions of His people Jesus was stricken. Christ took the curse of their covenant transgressions into himself by becoming cursed for them on the tree. By his stripes they were covenant healed.
.......Here is Gods wisdom...We now know that the strength of sin is the Law. The Law was the terms of the empowered covenant that was able to bless richly the faithful ones or to curse horribly the transgressors, and it is worth noting that the transgressions of Gods people under the Law or under the old covenant was MANY...But listen to the wisdom of God in Christ..Romans 4:15) The law, which was the 600 plus commandments or terms of the old covenant, it worked wrath. Why? The BAR was to high. The bar was sin not at all, not even one time or you are under the curse (James 2:10). No soul could do that, not one of us but that was the Bar. But get a holt of this redemption wisdom light that we find in Romans 4:15...But where there is no laws or no terms of a covenant which gives transgression their power, remove those laws and THERE IS NO ACCOUNTED TRANSGRESSION because that old covenant terms no longer exist and therefore transgressions power over the people is dissolved. For the strength of sin is the Law, the terms of the covenant, BUT WHERE THERE IS NO LAW THERE IS NO TRANSGRESSION....
......But just how do you undo or get rid of that old covenant that the people be spared and the curses upon them removed?. You have to kill it. You have to destroy that old covenant with all its power to bless and to curse. You have to abolish its ordinances and commandments which are the terms of the covenant. Do that, and the people ARE MADE FREE....Behold the Lamb of God that takes away the old covenant by the sacrifice of himself. When he abolishes that old covenant and strips it of its power by the sacrifice of himself, all the transgressions made under that covenant by the people are all removed and TAKEN AWAY...That is how Christ took away the sins of Israel and of the whole world. By the sacrifice of himself Jesus destroyed Adams first covenant Law of sin and death and all the laws, all the terms of the old covenant given to us from God thru Moses. And you resurrect a New One...Behold Jesus said..My Blood is the blood of the NEW COVENANT...The New Covenant is Born of God in Christ and born of God in Christ are all the New Covenant Members. If you are not Born of God in Christ you are not a member of the New Covenant.
.....We find this happening in Ephesians 2:15 concerning the power of the sacrifice of Christ...We read that Jesus abolished in his flesh (in the sacrifice of his flesh unto death) all the friction and enmity that was in the old covenant. He even abolished the LAW OF COMMANDMENTS which were the terms of the old covenant ordinances...In Colossians 2:14 Paul speaks on this some more saying...Jesus blotted out the handwriting of ordinances (Covenant terms and transgressions) that were mounted up against us, which were contrary to us and Jesus took all of that out of the way NAILING THEM ALL TO DEATH TO HIS CROSS..
.......When Jesus the Lord from heaven, WHICH WAS HIMSELF THE LAW GIVER and maker of the terms of the old covenant) when he THE LAW GIVER tasted death, the Law, meaning all the terms of the old covenant was killed along with him. And when Christ rose again from the dead unto newness of life, even so the terms of the NEW COVENANT which is established upon better promises and better tender mercies, and greater compassion and a greater infilling and fellowship with God was also erected and ESTABLISHED.
.....Brethren, because the old covenant has been abolished and killed by the powerful death of the Law giver himself, we are no longer under the Law but under grace. Law was the old way, grace thru faith in Christ is now the New..Christ has redeemed us from the curse of the Law...We are no longer under the Law for Jesus killed it. Its power is only in the mind that is still blind to what Christ did for us on the Cross...We are not longer under the Law but under grace RISEN WITH CHRIST TO WALK IN NEWNESS OF SPIRIT AND OF LIFE IN THE FAITH WALK OF THE NEW COVENANT of tender mercies and incredible promises to them that believe and obey Christ....Amen ....deno.....share freely.
