re-Mark-able

In the storms of life, you can get through it to the other side when in close relation-ship with the Living One, who commands the winds and waves and they obey the Name above every other name: Jesus.

“Let us go across to the other side…He rebuked the wind, and said to the sea, ‘Peace! Be still!’ And the wind ceased, and there was a great calm. He said to them, ‘Why are you afraid? Have you no faith? And they were filled with awe, and said to one another, ‘Who then is this, that even the wind and sea obey him?” Mark 4:39-41

“Take heart, it is I; have no fear. And he got into the boat with them and the wind ceased. And they were utterly astounded” Mark 6:50-51

I know that I would not be here if Jesus wasn’t in my boat…

Marked Down? or Marked Up?

Human beings are either marked by the beast or marked by Christ; under the influence of unclean spirits or the Holy Spirit; still of this world or come out of this world into Christ of God.

Mary Magdalene had seven demons removed by Jesus; the Gerasene man had 2000 removed by Jesus (Mark 5:1-20). The “city and country” heard and came to Jesus, seeing the man “clothed and in his right mind” (Mark 5:15). We all, individuals, cities, countries and nations, need to come to glorified Christ Jesus to be saved, healed, delivered, set free, and clothed with glorified Christ light and Spirit (white garment) and come into the righteous, holy, pure, just, wise, powerful, clear mind of Christ.

We take off our old spotted human garment (Jude 1:23; Revelation 3:17-18) and put on the Lord Jesus Christ as a armor of light (Romans 13:12-14) to protect and provide for us in this world, after coming out of this world of darkness and into the Son Light (Colossians 1:13). We give Jesus everything of this world and take everything of Christ to come into his kingdom, power and glory, established, kept and sustained by the Holy Spirit and fire sent from heaven out of God in those who believe. The world cannot receive because they neither see or know the Spirit of God (John 14:16-28).

“Do  not fear, only believe” Mark 5:36

Simple faith is powerful. Reject the thief who comes to steal, kill and destroy; submit to God; receive Jesus who comes to give you life and life abundant: grace upon grace and glory to glory in the knowledge of God and his glory; rejecting the knowledge of good and evil from satan’s tree; eating of the tree of life: resurrected, ascended, glorified Christ’s Word and Spirit growing in the middle of your garden body, having rejected and burned down root to branch the other tree that used to reside in your soul, by the wisdom and power of the Holy Spirit. You cast out unclean spirits and join your spirit with the Holy Spirit in your body in Christ and Christ in you (1 Cor 6:12-20).

Mark 6:6 represents natural man rejecting Jesus, from seeing him as a natural man. Those who knew Jesus as a human being growing up, rejected him and took offense at him and did not come to him to be healed and delivered.

John 6:66 represents followers of Jesus and his disciples who couldn’t receive his other-worldly Wisdom from Above, rejecting his Words and turning away from following him; taking offense at his Teaching.

6 is the number of man; 66 is wrong seeing from the false eye of horus, rejecting Jesus; 666 is the mark of the beast (serpent), aligned with the god of this world (lucifer) and influenced by the spirit of this world (demonic spirits) taking offense at those with Holy Spirit.

Jesus casts out demons and heals the sick. “Be clothed and in your right mind” Mark 5:15. “Blessed are those awake and clothed” Revelation 16:15. We hear the Word and do the Word. “Daughter, your faith has made you well; go in Peace and be healed of your disease” Mark 5:34

Ignore what the world says (Mark 5:36); hear and do what Jesus says, “Do not fear, only believe” Mark 5:36. “Come out of her lest you take part in her sins, lest you share in her plagues” Revelation 18:4. “Come to Me all who are tired, weary, heavy-laden with burdens, and I will give you rest” Matthew 11:28.

Hear, “Be healed” and do be healed! Hear, “Go in Peace, sin no more” and do go in Peace and do not sin. Receive the grace AND truth, “I do not condemn you” AND “sin no more.” ~Jesus

Simple faith: hear and believe and do as Jesus says and ignore what this world says. The world says be afraid of sin, sickness, death and the devil. Hear and do what Jesus says, “Come to Me and yoke and learn Christ and find rest for your souls.” The world will laugh at you as they laughed when Jesus said the little girl was not dead. “Tal’itha cu’mi” “Little girl arise!” (Mark 5:40-41). This world makes fun of “crying like a little girl” but Jesus removes all the sources of our tears, drys our eyes and pours love into our hearts by the Holy Spirit and leads us by the Spirit in the Spirit of God.

The Holy Bible points to Jesus on every page; we don’t eat the pages, but we let the written Word, logos, speak to our hearts, and receive the Living Word, rhema, as food and drink indeed: Word and Spirit; Life and Spirit ingested, digested, and manifested! The Living Glorified Christ comes alive in us as we awaken from sleep, and arise from the dead and receive the Salt and Light of Christ, his Resurrection Life, Breath of Life, Bread of Life, Water of Life, New Wine (Holy Spirit and fire) into new wineskin body temples of God.

• Before the beginning was God and his glory
• Genesis was the beginning of you
• The Fall of Adam took us all down
• Revelation reveals Jesus Christ
• the end of yourself is the beginning of new life in Christ
• After the end is God and his glory in you: Christ in you, God’s delight in you as you delight in God! (unless you choose to keep your “life” and lose it)

Mark My Words

Jesus says, “The time is fulfilled, and the kingdom of God is at hand; repent, and believe in the gospel”

Change your way of thinking from this world and popular culture to the Way Jesus thinks, from the Mind of God. His thoughts and ways are higher. Jesus brings continuous good news, not the constant negative news of this world under the god of this world and the spirit of this world that is satanic. Do not get sucked into those devoid of the Holy Spirit who are creating divisions; they relish a racial divide because they have hatred in their hearts and their minds are aligned with the beast mind; they want you to be confused about your identity, gender and sexuality because they know it will end badly with you harming yourself, keeping you from God our Father who designed you to be in the image and likeness of God, not this world.

“If a kingdom is divided against itself, that kingdom cannot stand…and a house divided against itself, that house will not be able to stand…coming to an end” Mark 3:24-26

Only the Word does not pass away; take the Word to heart.

Change the Way you are thinking; repent, the Kingdom is at hand.

Come out of this world into the kingdom of God and his righteousness found in Christ. Only Jesus can deliver you from the dominion of darkness and transfer you into the kingdom of the beloved Son.

Believe Jesus, agree with God, ask and receive;

only unbelief can keep you from receiving what Jesus won for you on the Cross.

Walk by faith not by sight; walk in the Spirit not by the soul; walk in the Light of Truth not the truth that seems right to people of this world.

Take off the garment spotted by the flesh by giving it to Jesus, and receive the new garment of salvation and righteousness by receiving Christ in you: new wine into new wineskins (Mark 2:21-22).

Come to glorified Christ Jesus and be given the secret of the kingdom of God (Mark 4:11).

Prepare the soil of your heart by repenting, asking for forgiveness, giving Jesus the past, letting your heart be broken for what breaks God’s heart, and receiving the Word, the imperishable seed of God into your broken open heart. Ask for the River of Water of Life: Holy Spirit grace and glory and fire to continuously water the Seed of Christ in you to grow the tree of life within you, taking root downward and bearing fruit upward, as the Vine of Christ grows to unite heaven and earth within you. Let Christ be manifest and nothing kept secret, but all come to light, to be light (Mark 4:1-22).

The kingdom of God is the seed of Christ, the Word, sprouting and growing while we sleep and rise, becoming ripe for a harvest of righteousness and peace and joy in the Holy Spirit (Mark 4:26-29). The kingdom of God is the smallest of seeds planted in your heart that becomes like Christ (Mark 4:30-32).

For to him who has Christ: the Word and the Spirit of God, will more be given; and from him who has not, even what he has will be taken away (Mark 4:25).

What is My Position?

What is my position?

pro-Christ

all the Way.

It is not about the right or left

It is not about the right or left,

it is about looking up to God for help and heavenly solutions for our earthly issues.

It is not about turning right or turning left,

it is about being led by the Holy Spirit

in God’s Will on earth as it is in heaven.

Our Father who art in heaven

is holy, holy, holy Lord God Almighty, who was, and is, and is to come,

not charismatic, charming, flattering, smiling promisers of empty promises that are not spoken from the heart but from wanting to get something from you, and will say anything to get in a position to fulfill ancient satanic, luciferian, demonic agendas of darkness to destroy nations and put in a global world leader to place lucifer on the capstone of the triangle, darkness disguised as light, a deceiver, one who is of the antichrist spirit to enslave human beings to keep the masses from waking up and turning to the Lord and being unveiled to see who their Father is, and who they are in the Son, and who the Holy Spirit is who leads us into the promised land in Christ and Christ in you, where there are still giants around you but you do not fear, for you are with the Holy One who is bigger than any giant.

The father of lies has had a long time to plot and plan humanity’s take down by taking Christ out of nations; the antidote to his plan is Jesus who in the fullness of time overcame the world, and we are more than conquerors in Christ where there is no condemnation, only forgiveness and redemption and victory. The father of lies can have no place in Christ, therefore in Christ is the safest, most secure place of rest in our Father, in his hallowed Name, in his Kingdom above all kingdoms of this world, with his will being done on earth as it is in heaven. We are given daily bread when we eat of the Word and drink of his Spirit, spending time with our First Love; forgiving, as we are forgiven, to forgive others. Ask Holy Spirit to be your power to resist temptation, and the Blood of Jesus delivers you from all evil; separated from the power of sin, death and the devil by the Cross.

In Christ we are delivered from the dominion of darkness and transferred into the kingdom of the beloved Son of Righteousness. There is one Righteous, Holy, Just, Sovereign God, the Creator of the heavens and the earth. We come to Jesus, repent, and return to God our Father to receive the Holy Spirit to be with us and in us forever. Only this truly satisfies, delights, fulfills, equips, endows, edifies, exhorts, encourages, empowers, embodies, and unites our redeemed soul with the Spirit of God, the marriage made in heaven, the joining of our new soul with the Holy One our soul loves, our Eternal First Love, now and  is to come. We give Jesus our old soul and receive a new mind, heart, will and spirit in his likeness and image.

It is not about turning right or left,

it is about joining your new soul in Christ, with your new spirit from the Father, to be led by the Holy Spirit in fellowship with the Father, Son and Holy Spirit, the Holy One who anoints us, teaches us, is true and no lie, and we abide in Christ, our True Home, now and is to come.

“O people in Christ, who dwell in the Spirit and the Bride, you shall weep no more. The Bridegroom King will surely be gracious to you at the sound of your cry; when he hears it, he will answer you. And though the Lord give you the bread of adversity and the water of affliction, yet your Teacher will not hide himself any more, but your eyes will see your Teacher. And your ears shall hear a word behind you, saying, ‘This is the way, walk in it,’ when you turn to the right or when you turn to the left. Then you will destroy the graven images you wrongly accepted. You will get rid of them as unclean things; you will say to them, ‘Begone!’ And he will give you rain of Living Water from the Throne for the “eternity” God planted in your heart before the foundation of the world, and the imperishable seed of the Words of Christ Jesus will grow that you plant in your heart by daily reading and meditating on the Word. The harvest of Jesus’ Words nurtured, cherished, guarded, valued, honored and given dominion over you, produce a rich and plenteous abundance of life. And God removes your mountains of obstruction and raises your valleys to cross the flooding rivers to his side, and walk through fires with the safety of Christ in you, the light that is greater than seven suns that heals your wounds and binds up your hurts. Behold the Name of the Lord God Almighty comes burning like a fire to sift the nations with the sieve of destruction, but Christ in you is the New Song in your heart, the feast of God tabernacling in you, the table of his presence in the midst of your enemies. When you come to Christ you have come to the Rock of ages, majestic, higher than any other, where you hear the Voice of Holy Spirit to be led as sons; the fire consumes all that is not Christ in you; his Holy Breath fills you with the Life of Christ. But woe to those who go to Egypt for help: Isis, Osiris, Horus, false gods/goddesses, myths that cannot save and give counterfeit light; they rely on horses and trust in chariots; they rely on physical solutions and worldly wars but do not look to the Holy One of God or consult the Holy Spirit for the Wisdom and Power that come from or Father. Disaster is coming for evil doers and those who work iniquity. The “Egyptians” are men, and not God, though they think they are gods; their “horses” are flesh and not spirit. Those in Christ and Christ in you have God enthroned in their hearts and their vehicle is the Spirit of God and cannot be overcome. Those in Christ are protected and delivered, spared and rescued. Turn to him from whom you have deeply revolted. For in that day every one will cast off their idols, gods made in man’s image. The fire and furnace made seven times hotter, destroys everything but Christ Jesus in you. Behold, the King of kings and Lord of lords reigns in righteousness and God’s justice (not social justice of this world); a hiding place from the storms, streams of water in the desert wilderness, shade in scorching sun in a weary land. Then the eyes of those who see will not be closed, and the ears of those who hear will hearken. The mind will be given good judgment, and the tongue will be given the Word of God to speak as a Sword of the Spirit. The “fools” will no longer be called noble or honorable or royal for they plot iniquity and practice ungodliness, and utter lies about Jesus leaving those who are craving, unsatisfied, and deprive the thirsty of drink. The knaveries of the knave are evil, devising wickedness to ruin the poor (those who do not know Christ Jesus) with lying words. Even when the plea of the needy is right, they devise deception. But those who are truly royal, noble, honorable, just, righteous, holy, and godly in Christ and Christ in you, devise noble things and by noble things you stand”  Isaiah 30:19-32:8

Royalty is not biological blood lines; true royalty is the spiritual Blood of Christ Jesus. We give Jesus our tainted, altered blood and he gives us his perfect, royal Blood. Why do you spend so much time trying to figure out fallen Adam’s DNA and lineage? When you come to Christ you receive his blood-line, heritage, and the inheritance of God as co-heirs with Jesus. In Christ you go from being fathered by lies to the Father of Jesus, the God who created the heavens and the earth who tells you only the truth with no lies, and teaches you to abide in Christ, who is heaven on earth, walking in the Light, walking in the Spirit, working out what God works in you.

“Therefore, in Jesus’ absence from the earth, much more the Holy Spirit, the Spirit of Truth, given to believers, to work out your own salvation with fear and trembling; for God is at work in you, both to will and to work for his good pleasure”

“It is the Father’s good pleasure to give you the kingdom”

“Come out of her lest you take part in her sins, lest you share in her plagues”

“Come to Christ”

“Seek first the kingdom of God and his righteousness and all of Christ will be given to you”

“Ask and receive the Holy Spirit and fire”

“The time is fulfilled, and the kingdom of God is at hand; repent, and believe in the gospel” Jesus preaching the “gospel of God” in Mark 1:14-15

“What is this? A new teaching! With authority he commands and even the unclean spirits obey him. And at once his fame spread everywhere…he went about preaching and casting out demons…and immediately, perceiving in his spirit that they questioned him within themselves said, ‘ Why do you question in your hearts?…The Son of man has authority on earth to forgive sins…all were amazed and glorified God, saying, ‘We never saw anything like this!…Those who are well have no need of a physician, but those who are sick; I came not to call the righteous, but sinners…don’t patch the old garment; take the new garment…throw out the old wine; put new wine in new wineskins'” Mark 1:27-2:1-22

It is not about left or right, it is about coming to Jesus and receiving the Holy Spirit to lead you in The Way, The Truth, and The Life of the Father, away from the lies, deception, and corruption of this world of darkness into the new dawn of Christ Light; the Sun of Righteousness rising in you; the morning star rising in your heart. Come to Christ, arise and shine with the light and glory of Christ in you; be a lighthouse with the influence of Christ, salty and full of light. There are a lot of boats headed for sudden destruction in the dark.

Attitude of the Heart

The “be” attitudes of the heart are not understandable by the mind of man, but the heart humbled and surrendered to God can receive Christ into our hearts to change everything.

“Blessed are the poor in spirit, for theirs is the kingdom of heaven”

It is our need for God recognized that allows us to turn to the Lord and be unveiled to be able to see we need Jesus. We give our “poor spirit” to Jesus and he gives us his Holy Spirit so we can be in intimate fellowship with God our Father and the Son who are one, by the Holy Spirit Jesus prays for us to receive, which the world cannot see or receive. But those who come to Christ, bind our soul to him, learn from his humble, gentle, compassionate, pure heart, find rest in God as we let the Holy Spirit work in and through us.

“Blessed are those who mourn, for they shall be comforted”

I don’t know anyone who has not suffered loss. Holy Spirit is the Comforter, and living in this very uncomfortable world of darkness is impossible without the Comforter sent by God out of heaven to be with and in us forever. Without the Holy Spirit, I could not go on.

“Blessed are the meek, for they shall inherit the earth”

God opposes the proud, exalts the humble. The humble boast only of God and give him the glory and dominion. Pride comes before a fall. This world is overcome by pride, lust of the flesh and lust of the eyes, which are not of the Father and destroy those who will not come to Jesus and repent and receive forgiveness and the kingdom of God (1 John 2:16-17). Do not love the world or the things of the world. If any one loves the world, love for the Father is not in him (1 John 2:15). This dark world is of the old heavens and earth and will pass away, but those who do the will of God abide forever (1 John 2:17). The Word never passes away; the meek receive the Word in their humbled heart soil to grow Christ by the Holy Spirit River and nourishment by the Son of Righteousness.

“Blessed are those who hunger and thirst for righteousness, for they shall be satisfied”

For behold the day comes burning like an oven, when all the arrogant and evildoers shall be stubble, the day that comes shall burn them up, leaving neither root nor branch. But for you who fear God’s Name the Sun of Righteousness shall rise with healing in his wings. You shall go forth leaping with joy like a new-born calf. And the wicked will be ashes under your feet (Malachi 4:1-3).

“Blessed are the merciful, for they shall obtain mercy”

Mercy trumps judgment; those who are judging unrighteously receive judgment instead of mercy; those who humble their hearts and ask Jesus for forgiveness of sins and falling short of the glory receive redemption under the Blood. Seek first the kingdom of God and his righteousness. We receive righteousness by faith in Jesus who is Righteousness Itself. Self-righteousness causes people to withhold mercy; they say “all is love” but cruelly hate those who are unlike themselves.

“Blessed are the pure in heart, for they shall see God”

Only Jesus can purify a heart. Apart from Christ all have Jeremiah 17:9 hearts. Apart from Christ, both Jews and Gentiles are under the power of sin, as it is written: “None is righteous, no, not one; no one understands, no one seeks for God. All have turned aside, together they have gone wrong; no one does good, not even one (they only think they are doing good). Their throat is an open grave, they use their tongues to deceive. The venom of asps is under their lips. Their mouth is full of cursing and bitterness. Their feet shed blood, in their paths are ruin and misery, and the way of peace they do not know. There is no fear of God before their eyes” (Romans 3:9-18). Apart from Christ you are already condemned (John 3:18), but in Christ there is no condemnation. When we come to Christ and give him everything, he gives us everything, and as we yield to the Holy Spirit and fire of God, the old is dissolved and the new is formed in Christ-likeness. “You must be born again” (John 3:7). Thank God for Jesus and the finished work of the Cross! All can come to Christ just as they are; he will not leave you as you are of this world. He is the light and his fire power can deliver you from the dominion of darkness and transfer you to the kingdom of the beloved Son. Only the Holy Spirit can purify, refine and make us white as snow under the Blood, Water and Spirit of God sent from heaven out of God to those who give their heart to be enthroned by the King of kings and Lord of lords.

“Blessed are the peacemakers, for they shall be called the sons of God”

In Christ alone there is peace, in the world you will have tribulation. Jesus has overcome this dark world, and in Christ we can have his Peace that is beyond understanding. Have no anxiety about anything but in everything ask Jesus with thanksgiving, and your heart and mind will be kept in the Peace of Christ Jesus (Philippians 4:6-7). God keeps us in perfect Peace when our mind is stayed on Jesus and what he has done for us, and we trust God (Isaiah 26:3).

“Blessed are those who are persecuted for righteousness sake, for theirs is the kingdom of heaven”

The kingdom of God is righteousness and peace and joy in the Holy Spirit. Without righteousness you cannot abide in the kingdom; without righteousness there is no real peace; without true peace there cannot be real joy; without the Holy Spirit there is no true joy of the Lord, our strength. We can do all things in Christ who strengthens us; apart from Christ we can do nothing but be slaves to sin, death and the devil. In Christ and Christ in us we no longer fall short of the glory and give all the glory to God our Eternal Father.

“Blessed are you when men revile you and persecute you and utter all kinds of evil against you falsely on my account. Rejoice and be glad, for your reward is great in heaven, for so men persecuted the prophets who were before you”

Jesus is the only righteous man who never sinned, was totally innocent and submitted to the Father, which caused the religious elite to hate him, be jealous, and afraid they would be exposed for putting people in bondage to their false religion and corrupt government. Because he proclaimed the Way to God, the Truth about God and the Life of God for all who believed him as the Son of God, the Christ, the Messiah, he was brutally tortured and crucified on a cross, the most excruciating death for the worst criminals. His betrayal was far worse than any betrayal we have experienced, and only Jesus is able to take our burdens and betrayals that we are unable to bear. Jesus can make us whole again as he replaces the lies, slander, gossip, betrayal, character assassination spoken and written against us, and their misunderstanding of what God has done for us; he replaces the false witness against us with his Truth. In Christ and Christ in us we can live in this dark world with people who do not know God and his glory; pray and forgive them. “Father forgive them, for they know not what they are doing.”

 

 

The Missing Whole

The thing you have always wanted,

needed, longed for, yearned for,

your heart’s deepest cry,

that you did not even know existed,

is your First Love,

and when you find out it is Jesus whom your soul loves,

you will have found your missing whole,

not a missing half,

the missing Whole!

“They may have taken praying out of schools but not out of God’s children.”

“They may have taken praying out of schools but not out of God’s children.”

Thank you Jesus!

And nations shall be led by little children who know God and his Christ.

Become like a child with our Eternal Father, not childish but child-like, and enter the kingdom of heaven on earth as it is in heaven (Matthew 18:3). Christ in you is the hope of  glory, God’s delight in you when you delight in the Lord and he gives you the deepest desire of your spiritual heart: his presence come to live in your spirit and soul and body.

There are three more days to finish reading Matthew by asking Holy Spirit to open the Word and pour his life and Spirit into you, so we can focus as a nation on Mark for the rest of August (https://newheavenonearth.wordpress.com/2019/08/05/call-to-disarm/)

“Man shall not live by bread alone but by every Word that proceeds from the mouth of God” (Matthew 4:4)

“Blessed are those who hunger and thirst for righteousness, for they shall be satisfied” Matthew 5:6

The kingdom of God is righteousness (Christ come in you) that leads to peace (in this world you will have tribulation but in Christ there is peace that surpasses all understanding) that leads to joy in the Holy Spirit.

“Repent, for the kingdom of heaven is at hand”  ~Jesus in Matthew 4:17

Now the Holy Spirit witnesses to Jesus’ teaching, preaching, healing, deliverance and freedom, found in Christ and Christ in you.

Seek first the kingdom of God and his righteousness and all things of Christ will be added unto you. John the Baptist baptized with water for repentance and forgiveness of sins; Jesus baptizes with Holy Spirit and fire, to dissolve the old and form the new in you: a holy new spirit, a righteous new soul (mind of Christ, heart of compassion, will to do the Will of God our Father), and a body filled with the Holy Spirit making you a new temple of God. Jesus destroyed the external temple, no stone left unturned in 70 AD. Now we come to glorified Jesus to be made a new temple of God.

“Blessed are the pure in heart, for they shall see God” Matthew 5:8

Enter by the narrow gate of Jesus; for the gate is wide and the way is easy that leads to destruction following your own way, feelings, and what you decide is truth or love, for many follow the the ways of this dark world. For the gate is narrow and the way hard to go against the culture, what is currently popular, that leads to death for momentary “lust of the flesh, lust of the eyes, and the pride of life” but those who find Christ, and Christ in you, find eternal life now and is to come (Matthew 7:13-14).

“Come to Me, all who are weary and heavy-laden with depression, anxiety, fear and doubts, and I will give you rest. Take my yoke upon you; bind your soul to Me, and learn from Me; for I am gentle and humble-hearted, and you will find rest for your souls. For my yoke is easy and my burden is light”  ~Jesus in Matthew 11:28-29

“For you it has  been given to know the secrets of the kingdom of heaven, but to this world it is not given…To him who has Christ, more will be given and you will have abundance; but from him who doesn’t have Christ, even what you have will be taken away…because seeing they can’t see, and hearing they can’t hear, nor do they have spiritual understanding” Jesus in Matthew 13:11-58

“I will give you the keys of the kingdom of heaven” Jesus in Matthew 16:19

“Truly, I say to you, there are some standing here who will not taste death before they see the Son of man coming in his kingdom” Jesus in Matthew 16:28

“Not all men can receive this saying, but only those to whom it is given” Jesus in Matthew 19:11

“Every one who has left houses or brothers and sisters or father or mother or children or lands for my name’s sake, will receive a hundredfold, and inherit eternal life. But many that are first will be last and the last first”  Jesus in Matthew 19:29-30

Come out of this world; come to Christ.

Jesus says to you, “What do you want me to do for you?” Matthew 20:32

The kingdom of heaven is like the marriage feast of the Father and his Lamb; all are invited to partake, “Behold, I have made ready my dinner…everything is ready; come to the marriage feast…The wedding is ready, but those invited first didn’t come, so I invite all the Gentiles, as many as the King’s servants can find, both good and bad to fill the wedding hall with guests. When the King comes, those without his white wedding garment are cast into the outer darkness where men will weep and gnash their teeth. For many are called, but few choose the Way, the Truth, the Life of the Righteous One to reconcile with our Righteous, Just, Holy God, the Eternal Father (Matthew 22:1-14).

“Woe to you world rulers and governments and religions that shut the kingdom of heaven against the people; for you neither enter yourselves, nor allow those who would enter to go in. Woe to you who make people of this world twice as much a child of hell as yourselves. Woe to you, blind guides…You serpents, you brood of vipers, how are you going to escape being sentenced to hell?” Matthew 23:13-39

“I gather my children as a hen gathers her brood under her wings” Jesus in Matthew 23:37

“The Son of Righteousness will rise in you with healing in his wings” Malachi 4:2

“Take heed that no one leads you astray”  Jesus in Matthew 24:4

“The kingdom of heaven is like ten maidens waiting for the Bridegroom. Five were foolish and did not make sure they had plenty of oil in their lamps (Holy Spirit in their body temple). The wise five had plenty of oil, fire and eyes to see (in Revelation ch. 1, 4, 5: the seven spirits from the throne of God need to replace the seven demonic spirits of this world and the god of this world influencing you); the Bridegroom came and they went in with him to the marriage feast; and the DOOR WAS SHUT. Afterwards the foolish come and say, ‘Lord, lord, open to us’ but he replies, ‘Truly, I say to you, I do not know you.’ Watch therefore, for you know neither the day nor the hour” Matthew 25:1-13

“All authority and power is given to Jesus in heaven and on earth” Matthew 28:18

I’m with Him; what about you?

 

The Greatest Gift Of All

The greatest gift ever given on earth

is the Eternal Father’s gift of the Holy Spirit.

Jesus ministered on earth for three years with the Holy Spirit upon him,

as Son of God, emptying of divinity, saving humanity through the Cross,

through the most amazing sacrificial love, light, Spirit, healing, delivering, setting free, signs, wonders, miracles; the deaf heard, the blind saw, the lame walked,

teaching about God, preaching to repent and receive the kingdom of God as a child,

born again of God, of Living Water and of the Holy Spirit.

The Son of man was crucified, buried, resurrected, ascended and glorified to save us and make intercession for us until we come to Christ and find rest for our souls.

Jesus said it was to our advantage that he leave the earth (John 16:7),

for the Holy Spirit to come

to be with us and in us forever (John 14:16-28)

to help us, comfort, teach, guide us into all truth, bring us into remembrance of God (John 14:26), bear witness to Jesus (John 15:26), convince the world of the sin of unbelief, convince believers of righteousness, judge the ruler of this world (John 16:9-11), advocate, counsel, empower, prune, change, transform and lead us

to do the works of Jesus and even greater things because he went back to our Heavenly Father (John 14:12).

He breathes new life into our spirit and soul and body;

blows like the wind,

consumes like a fire,

helps us to soar like the eagles,

purifies, refines, refreshes, revitalizes, renews our youth, restores, regenerates,

and gives us gifts to heal, work miracles, prophesy, discern spirits, have the gift of faith, words of wisdom, words of knowledge, tongues and interpretation of tongues (1 Cor 12:4-31)

to live embodied, equipped, edified, exhorted, endowed, and empowered to arise and shine,

arise and go proclaim the message God gives us to share by the Holy Spirit.

God pours his Love into our hearts by the Holy Spirit,

comforting the broken hearted

bringing us good news,

opening prison doors and setting captives free,

proclaiming the year of the Lord’s favor

and the day of vengeance for his enemies,

giving us beauty for ashes,

a mantle of praise instead of a faint spirit,

gladness instead of mourning,

joy in the Holy Spirit

as oaks of righteousness,

established, sustained, and kept in Peace that passes all understanding;

built up,

raised up,

given a double portion for all our troubles,

blessed with a new promised land

on earth as it is in heaven.

I can’t imagine a more precious gift,

best friend,

mentor,

powerful movement of God

that we can’t control

but just yield,

surrender,

let go into the wind of God we can’t see

but we experience His presence, flow, and movement in our life;

the Way planned and purposed for us before the foundation of the world,

giving all thanks, honor, blessing, majesty, dominion, praise, worship, and glory to God our Father now and forever. Amen. Hallelujah!

I greatly rejoice in the Lord, my soul exults in my God, for he has clothed me with salvation, righteousness, and the white wedding garment; made me a watered garden where the Vine of Christ grows and his spiritual fruit is abundant (Isaiah 61:1-11).

The Holy Spirit causes us to delight in God

and he gives us the deepest desires of our heart:

his glorious presence.

Moving to the New Covenant

Another hard truth: if you do not believe Jesus you are already condemned (John 3:18); there is now no condemnation for those who are in Christ Jesus (Romans 8:1). Apart from Christ you will be judged; those “who hear the Word and believe the Father have eternal life, not coming into judgment but have passed from death to life” (John 5:24). In Christ the ruler of this world is already cast out (John 12:31); the hour has already come (John 12:27-34) and in Christ, the Christ remains in you forever (John 12:34), in your temporary tent and in your permanent glorified body.

“You will die in your sins unless you believe that I am he” Jesus in John 8:24

“Therefore hear the Word of the Lord, you scoffers…because you have made a covenant with Death, and with Sheol you have an agreement…you made lies your refuge, and in falsehood you have taken shelter…Jesus is the testing stone…I make justice the line, and righteousness the plumb-line; and I will sweep away the refuge of lies, and waters will overwhelm those sheltering in darkness. Jesus breaks the covenant with Death and the agreement with Hades cannot stand in Christ…Give ear, and hear the True Shepherd’s Voice; hearken and hear my speech…be instructed aright; God teaches you (1 John 2:20,27; Hebrews 8:11-13)…The Lord of hosts is wonderful in counsel and excellent in wisdom” Isaiah 28:1-29

“In the last time there will be scoffers following their own agenda/ungodly passions. It is these who set up divisions, worldly people, devoid of the Spirit. But you, beloved, build yourselves up on your most holy faith; pray in the Holy Spirit; keep yourselves in the Love of God; wait for the mercy of our Lord Jesus Christ unto eternal life. And convince some, who doubt; save some, by snatching them out of the fire; on some have mercy with fear, hating even the garment spotted by the flesh. Now to him who is able to keep you from falling and to present  you without blemish before the presence of his glory with rejoicing, to the only God, our Savior through Jesus Christ our Lord, be glory, majesty, dominion, and authority, before all time, and now and forever. Amen” Jude 1:17-25

“It has become a dwelling place of demons, a haunt of every foul spirit…for all nations have drunk the wine of her impure passion, and the kings of the earth have committed fornication with her, and the merchants of the earth have grown rich with the wealth of her wantonness…Come out of her, my people, lest you take part in her sins, lest you share in her plagues” Revelation 18:2-5

“Come to Me and find rest; loose your soul from this world, bind your soul to Me, learn Christ, and rest in God our Father as the Holy Spirit works in and through you greater than you could ask or think, for the glory of God the Father and the Son, the new covenant of life and Spirit”  ~Jesus the glorified Christ, The Messiah for all peoples

“My teaching is not mine, but God who sent me” Jesus in John 7:16

All other teachers taught, teach, and continue to teach from their own human understanding of God. “Call no man on earth Rabbi, Father, Master or Christ” (Matthew 23:815). Only Jesus, the Living Word of God made flesh, was sent by God to save you, rescue you from the evil one, heal and deliver you from the dominion of darkness and transfer you into the kingdom of the beloved Son, as a son, king and priest until you grow up and mature into a bride, wife of the Lamb, united with glorified Jesus so the Father can take you into His House, His Vineyard, because you are on the Vine on earth as it is in heaven, doing the Will of God. Be grafted on the tree of life, on the Vine of Christ, watered by the River of Water of Life: the Holy Spirit and holy fire river of grace and glory; nurtured and cherished, knowing the Love of Christ that fills us with all the fullness of God (Ephesians 3:14-21).

“Holy, holy, holy, is the Lord God Almighty, who was, and is, and is to come”

Come to Jesus to know God our Father and his glory of Christ, receiving Christ in you.

“Those who keep My Word of patient endurance are kept from the hour of trial coming on the whole world, to try those who dwell upon the earth. I am coming soon” Revelation 3:10-11

“Fear not, I am the First and the Last, and the Living One; I died and behold I am alive forevermore, and I have the keys of Death and Hades” Revelation 1:12-18

Come to Christ and be born again of God, of the Spirit, as a new creature of the new creation, in the new covenant between God and the Lamb, who took away sins and falling short of the glory for those who come to Jesus, repent and return to God our Father through the Holy Spirit.

“Worthy is the Lamb who was slain, to receive power and wealth and wisdom and might and honor and glory and blessing!…To God who sits on the Throne and to the Lamb be blessing and honor and glory and might for ever and ever! Amen” Revelation 5:12-14
