Search diligently for the Kingdom of God first. Put the works of the old nature to death within yourself, so you can resurrect in the image of Jesus Christ.

1Corinthians 15:45-49,

And so it is written, The first man Adam was made a living soul; the last man Adam was made a quickening spirit.

So, that which was spiritual was not first, but that which is natural; then afterward that which is spiritual.

The first man is of the earth, earthy: the second man is the Lord from heaven.

So, as that which is the earthy, such are they also that are earthy: and as is the heavenly, such are they also that are heavenly.

And as we have borne the image of the earthy (flesh & blood), we shall also bear the image of the heavenly (spiritual).

1 Corinthians 15:22,

For as in Adam all die, even so in Christ shall all be made alive.

Put this in your mind when you are in your prayer closet or are assembling together.

Romans 9:8,

They which are the children of the flesh, these are not the children of God.

1Corinthians15:50,

This I say, brethren, that flesh and blood cannot inherit the kingdom of God.

Disappointment brings Salvation - Isaiah 65:1 says, I am sought of them that asked not for me; I am found of them that sought me not: I said, Behold me, behold me, unto a nation that was not called by my name.

Such humbling words that should bring tears to the eyes of every Gentile, we who had no hope are now given hope. We who were in darkness a great and shining light has risen, bringing hope to all who can see it.

It is a joyous time for me because through their rebellion I now have a chance to be grafted in, yet my heart breaks. Why, knowing that His chosen people who are called by His name have disappointed Him and rejected Him. How they broke His heart by rebelling against Him. That the father’s heart was always good towards them, yet they could not see how they were hurting Him.

I take no pleasure in knowing their rebellion has opened the door for my salvation. And my prayer is that they will see the error of their way, humbly repenting to the one who loves them so.

My desire is that I don’t disappoint Him as I know the deception of flesh; that the goodness of His heart towards me is not in vain. For His mercy is more than my heart can imagine and His goodness is everlasting. There is no greater hope than to know the Father’s heart is to bring us into the fold, to bring us to His salvation, the greatest gift given to mankind.

Pray for the peace and salvation of both the Jew and the Gentile, that all walk in the kingdom of God.

Misconception of Faith.

I was reading an article in the Reader's Digest dated October 1999 ("Faith is a powerful Medicine: by Phyllis Macintosh"). Faith according to the author’s view and the view of many religious orders is having confidence in the written word inspired by man.

This is where they are missing the mark and where the Creator differs with them on their understanding of faith.

Hebrews 11:1, states "faith is the substance of things hoped for.”

The substance from the Creator is always proved out and is truth. Truth means (it will not fail) it will always accomplish its purpose when it goes forth.

Jesus said if you had the faith (Assurance) of a mustard seed, you could say unto this mountain be cast unto the sea and it would happen. Continuing in Hebrews 11:1, the second part of the verse says, "the evidence of things not seen." This assurance only comes when the unseen evidence (Inspiration), comes from God your creator.

Putting this verse together states, "Faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen." Translation: Faith is hoping for the unseen substance (truth). When this unseen inspiration comes to you, it will come to pass.

This changes our misconception of holding onto secondhand inspiration given by others.

The reason that secondhand inspiration has taken over and is in control, is because mankind has forfeited control and rejected the original inspiration which comes from God.

Mankind has taken the lazy way out and given up control for that which they can see which is deception, creating a Misconception of true Faith.

True Forgiveness - Have you ever asked someone to forgive you, and they say something like "oh don’t worry about it” or “that’s water under the bridge?” Are they really, truly forgiving you?

In nature we see that if we stand on a bridge, we are unable to see the water which is under it because the bridge blocks our view, but we know that water is in constant motion and will move from underneath that bridge and become visible again. But how do you know when someone actually forgives you? Ephesians 4:32 tells us.

When we truly forgive someone, we show it by being kind to them and telling them with a soft heart that we forgive them.

Why should we have to forgive others?

The bible says that we are to forgive one another because the Lord shows us forgiveness. Read it in Colossians 3:13.

But how many times must you forgive the same person? Jesus tells us in Matthew 18:21-22, seventy times seven.

How do I really, truly forgive someone?

True forgiveness is given from the heart. You will feel a sense of peace deep within your center come over you. This peace will generate the ability to not be hurt or angry toward this person any longer, making you a Godly example. Read it in Jeremiah 31:34.

This means that you should not dwell on the wrong that someone has done to you but rather pay attention to the God which may be coming forth from them.

The Lord has done this through His example. True Forgiveness is given and forgotten for good.

The Search for Truth.

Have you made the decision to find the truth from the Bible yourself?

Jesus said, “Howbeit when he, the Spirit of Truth, is come, he will guide you into all truth…,” John 16:13.

The gospel is Jesus died for us - for me, so is that the end? Not for me it is just the beginning.

I am a sinner, maybe not a bad person, nor a good person, but one that God is calling. A person of faith and truth, John 4:5-24. Jesus prayed for us to be sanctified with Him by truth.

So, the question is how do we find truth? We read, study, and meditate on the Bible, ask questions, search for answers, and share with others.

Proverbs 27:17, “Iron sharpens iron; so a man sharpens the countenance of his friend.”

In Matthew 7:7-8, Jesus tells us to ask, seek and find that it be opened to us. That is a promise.

He has left us a helper, the Spirit of Truth. John 15:26, “But when the Comforter is come, whom I will send unto you from the Father, even the Spirit of Truth, which proceeds from the Father, he shall testify of me:”

But the promise I like is in 1 John 2:27, But the anointing which you have received of him abides in you, and you need not that any man teach you: but as the same anointing teaches you of all things, and is truth, and is no lie, and even as it hath taught you, you shall abide in him.”

Learn of this anointing, of truth in fellowship. ~~ E Burkhalter

Romans 3:31 says, Do we then say the law is no longer valid because of faith?

God forbid:

By faith we establish the law.

So, faith does not do away with the law, but faith confirms the law. This same law that God said he would put into your heart and write in your mind. (Hebrews 8:10)

The purpose of the church leadership (Apostles, Prophets, Pastors, Teachers, and Evangelists), is NOT to fill the church house or the pews, BUT TO EMPTY THEM.

The Bible of Nature reveals this by our school system. Once you reach the end of your training, you graduate and go out into the world to make your own mark.

Galatians 3:24-25, The law was our schoolmaster to bring us unto Christ, that we might be justified by faith. But after that faith is come, we are no longer under a schoolmaster.

Ephesians 4:11-14, And he gave some, apostles; and some, prophets; and some, evangelists; and some, pastors and teachers; For the perfecting of the saints, for the work of the ministry, for the edifying of the body of Christ:

Till we all come in the unity of the faith, and of the knowledge of the Son of God, unto a perfect man, unto the measure of the stature of the fulness of Christ:

That we henceforth be no more children, tossed to and fro, and carried about with every wind of doctrine, by the sleight of men, and cunning craftiness, whereby they lie in wait to deceive;

When these Godly men have gotten the saints to the place of maturity in God, then it is time for them to graduate and start their own family in God, writing their own epistle.

This, so the harvest an be collected.

Empty your pews and send them out into the highways and byways, teaching and preaching the living Gospel of Jesus Christ.

Justification Continued:

So, is it possible to be justified?

David said this in Psalms 143:2, … for in your (God's) sight shall no man living be justified.

If the natural man cannot be justified, then why do we try to justify it?

John 3:3 and 1 Peter 1:23, Jesus and Peter talk about being born again, by the word of God. A spiritual man, not made of flesh and blood, but in the image of God.

2 Corinthians 5:17, Therefore if any man be in Christ, he is a new creature: old things are passed away; behold, all things are become new.

1 Corinthians 6:9-11, Do you not know that the unrighteous shall not inherit the kingdom of God? Be not deceived: neither fornicators, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor effeminate, nor abusers of themselves with mankind, nor thieves, nor covetous, nor drunkards, nor revilers, nor extortioners, shall inherit the kingdom of God. And such were some of you: but you are washed, you are sanctified, you are justified in the name of the Lord Jesus, and by the Spirit of our God.

Acts 13:37-39, … And by him (Jesus) all that believe are justified from all things …

Galatians 3:24-25, The law is our schoolmaster to bring us to Christ (the anointing), that we might be justified by faith. But after faith has come to you, you are no longer under a schoolmaster.

So, justification only comes by faith leading and guiding you.

Romans 5:1, Being justified by faith, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ:

The new creature is the only one that can be justified because it is incorruptible, a living being.
