AND SIN BECAME A PERSONAL HISTORY & TRUE HOLINESS A REALITY - Part 3

Dearly Beloved,

As we journey to a destination in God where Sin Should Become A Personal History and True Holiness A Reality, I can only say I trust God for spiritual receptivity and patience on your part to read and meditate on the following transcribed message which was has been a weighty emphasis and blessing of the Spirit to the Church, amen.

Scriptural Reference (1Jn. 1:5-10)

1Jn. 1:5 This then is the message which we have heard of him, and declare

unto you, that God is light, and in him is no darkness at all.

Psalm 18:28 For thou wilt light my candle: the LORD my God will enlighten my darkness

Matt. 6:23 But if thine eye be evil, thy whole body shall be full of darkness. If therefore the light that is in thee be darkness, how great is that darkness!

• We should look forward to a time where there would be no darkness in us, therefore the counsel to be perfect like our heavenly father is (Matt. 5:48) and this is the actual essence of fellowship, to remove darkness = (1Jn 1:6)

1Jn. 1:6 If we say that we have fellowship with him, and walk in darkness, we lie, and do not the truth

•  So there is a fulfillment, definition, understanding and type of fellowship we need to come into that would totally expire ever rapport/walk in darkness, and that what the fellowship of the Godhead cleanses us from. It remits and erases everything that is rooted in darkness, because in him is no darkness at all.
•  Erasing darkness is what would make darkness inoperative. When light comes, you would never know darkness was ever there previously, that it once existed. We would then come to the fulfillment of Heb. 8:12 (i.e. I will be merciful to their unrighteousness, and their sins and their iniquities will I remember no more) because it would have been erased.
•  So light has the ability to completely erase darkness that its history would be untraceable. That was what happened to our Spirit at new birth. It was once dark/sin, but now is light/righteousness (Rom. 8:10), such that you can never trace his to darkness and would lack history of darkness.
• When the soul is made a new man/new creature, Satan would neither recognize it anymore nor be able to lay claim to it! The old man would not be findable. Right now, the characteristics of the old man can only be found in the soul, therefore the counsel to PUT IT OFF (Col. 3:9-10)
• The old man is a consciousness and an understanding that exists in the soul
• A new creation (2Cor. 5:17) was not a refurbished being. It’s the power of the blood of Christ that wrought that
• Everything about the spirit is currently new and is not traceable to this present creation. What kind of blood wrought that and mysteriously separated its state such that there is nothing in this creation that can hold the regenerated human spirit bound? The blood of bulls and goats couldn’t do that, it couldn’t make one new.
• The following statement is true about our regenerated spirit “He that is born of God does not commit sin -1Jn. 3:9” and it must also become true about our soul
• Your spiritman can’t relate with the path of darkness. All that the new man knows is light.

1Jn. 1:7 But if we walk in the light, as he is in the light, we have fellowship one with another, and the blood of Jesus Christ his Son cleanseth us from all sin.

• Apostle John’s audience here were believers whose spirit was already in the light and his call was to the soul that needs to come into that realm of fellowship/light.
• There are different kinds of fellowship, but this one is peculiar because it is designed to erase, remit darkness. Fellowship here is not that which takes place at church or house fellowship, though these are meant to prepare us for such. Many Christians haven’t begun this kind of fellowship, though they are called into it. there is something we need to know to come into this fellowship
• A carnal Christian still using milk (1Cor. 1:3) can’t access this fellowship. It’s a fellowship designed to collect things we know not.
•  This fellowship is designed to take away things we either openly or secretly like or love and it makes manifest our love for the world, so people rather stay away from this order of fellowship
• From a believers walk, you can deduce what such a one loves. When we are being prepared for this true fellowship, heaven would confront every residue of darkness in such
• When you are stepping into this fellowship, the world (i.e. 1Jn. 2:15) would be collected. The world is what we hold direly and pride in.
• Darkness has its profiting and promises, so men like it. It tells us ‘you can do better with yourself, what are you waiting for’. It would tell you that ‘you can develop yourself’, but if you break into the mind of the book of Genesis for man, you would realize we are doing something totally different from what God instructed.
• Darkness would say ‘you can multiply, replenish the earth IN YOUR OWN WAY’. It would tell ‘YOU CAN DREAM BIG’. Satan preached darkness/death to Eve and she subscribed to it. Darkness is being preached in the church today without many knowing it, because its very subtle. (2Cor. 11:3)
• Right now, even the world can faulty the messages preached in the church, because we are not ministering on a clean and clear slate, because light is still limited
• Many books have been written about dreams that aren’t far from Cain’s dream. Men dream at night, but Cain’s dream took place during the day. Despite the warning, he couldn’t resist the promise of his dream which he downloaded through fellowship with the enemy.
• DARKNESS IS NOT BLACKNESS, MENT SEE IT AND LOVE ITS PROMISES AND PROFITTING. Men love it rather than light (Jn. 3:19) and that is why it can fight truth. It can contend for a space in our hearts because there is affection for it.

Jn. 3:19 And this is the condemnation, that light is come into the world, and men loved darkness rather than light, because their deeds were evil.

• Darkness was the fellowship that Cain embraced. It fulfills (fully fills) its subjects. That was what inspired Cain to build a city after leaving God’s presence (Gen. 4:16-17).
• After generations of men despised the faith program, Gen. 6:5 confirmed that the deeds of man were evil continually (Rom. 14:23)
• The fellowship in light is where heaven would purge us of our worldly affections and covenants (Isa. 28:15/18)

2Cor. 13:14 The grace of the Lord Jesus Christ, and the love of God, and the communion of the Holy Ghost, be with you all

(Many have added the word ‘sweet’ to the word ‘communion’ in the above verse)

•  The blood of Jesus is what can confront darkness. When you yield to its confrontation, victory is ratified. The blood gradually confronts darkness in men, because we hold darkness dearly and need to be convinced to renounce it
• The blood comes to confront specific things in different seasons. We unconsciously fight such process and are not as yielded as we ought. You would need to receive the help of the lord to let go. It’s not about sin of commission or works of the flesh (Gal. 5:19), but that which the soul secretly loves. Sometimes it has to do with glory, honor e.t.c which Satan tempts spiritual Sons with.
• By darkness, it might not be what we think it is. Those with the sins of the flesh like Miriam are kept outside the camp.
• The father won’t fully show up until there is a thorough purging
• Hardly is a sincere born again believer in love the sins of the flesh (Gal. 5:19). The conscience is there to deal with believers here and check us, as it was sprinkled at new birth
• As we prepare for the receiving of the father, we would be cleansed by the blood as we continue in light as he is in the light and we would be cleansed of everything of this present creation – 1Jn. 1:7
• This present creation was described by God in Genesis as Good but that wasn’t Perfect, because it would pass away. If it were perfect, corruption won’t be able to tamper with it
• The cleansing would go as far as differentiating us from this present creation. As we have born the image of the (1Cor. 15:49). The Lord’s image is not that of the present heaven, but that which is to come, in the world to come.
•  The question we should ask is “what is the constitution of the blood that brought to pass such work upon our human spirit and seeks to do so to our soul”?
• We receive the blood as an UNDERSTANDING (1Jn. 2:25/5:20) that runs through as God is administered via the PREACHING OF THE GOSPEL OF CHRIST (Rom. 16:25). That understanding would later demand a higher walk than you had walked. It would demand you halt some walks that hitherto had been permitted
• The blood is that which is administered through fellowship with him, so we must understand what the blood is saying. We can’t have another language from what the blood is saying, lest we tell a lie (1Jn. 1:6) and walk not in truth
• It’s the blood of sprinkling that speaks better things (Heb. 12:24) than the blood of Abel and we must be awoken to its consciousness. That was the understanding in the son that made him do all things well/perfect. When that understanding comes, we would know what darkness is past
• We currently don’t really know what darkness is. We agree with darkness without knowing, because we don’t understand what the blood is saying

Interjection by A Tongue/Interpretation

• We have been strangers to the consciousness of the father so far, but that is being changed in this season
• I will remove the thing that hath hindered you from conscious awareness of the father. For those things are called weaknesses. I would deal with the weaknesses that have hindered you from coming nigh unto me, from coming into the consciousness of the father. I will touch every aspect of such, for the father is near, he is nearer than when you first believed, and is coming closer and closer

A Stunning Idea On The Need To Amend The Bible!

Beloved,

Compliments!  

Here's an excerpt of a stunning conversation involving Piers Morgan of CNN and Pst. Rick Warren, primarily focused on the separation of Church and State as it relates to the Constitution.

Morgan put forth what i call a Satanic argument that there should be an "amendment to the Bible" specifically regarding same-sex marriage because, Morgan insisted, the Bible is "inherently flawed" in terms of the teachings and doctrines. He claims "Both the Bible and the Constitution were well intentioned but they are basically, inherently flawed, hence, the need to amend it" Morgan controversially said.

Pst. Rick Warren made my day by replying thus: "Not a chance! What I believe is flawed is human opinion, because it constantly changes. "WHAT IS NEW IS NOT TRUE. If it was here 1,000 years ago, it will be true 1,000 years from today. OPINION CHANGES, TRUTH DOESN'T."

For more details, read/watch this at http://global.christianpost.com/news/piers-morgan-tells-rick-warren-bible-should-be-amended-to-include-gay-marriage-video-87300/#GrTXVzBU1YXxspLt.99 

Isaiah puts it this way: "And judgment is turned away backward, and justice standeth afar off: for truth is fallen in the street, and equity cannot enter" - Isa. 59:14 

On this note, 1 Pet. 3:15 counsels us to ".. sanctify the Lord God in your hearts: and be ready always to give an answer to every man that asketh you a reason of the hope that is in you with meekness and fear.

Piers Morgan lost ground in this interview where he must have desired to ignorantly ridicule the Christian Faith, all because a genuine minister of the gospel was mistakenly brought forward, not just a motivational speaker as has been the case on the average for a while..

Sons of perdition with reprobate minds (Rom. 1:28) are being raised, therefore such idea are precipitating from regions of darkness. THE SONS OF RIGHTEOUSNESS MUST THEREFORE ARISE!

Praise God!

Another Look @ John Chapter 3 – Part 12

Dearly Beloved,

Have you ever discerned that the bible contains SEEDS governed by Ephemeral Milky Promises and a SEED governed by Eternal Meaty Promises? The following transcribed ministration attempts to gracefully pay homage to this understanding.

Pls note that some biblically deduced inferences based on previous instructions on such truths over the years has been has been personally referenced to by me in the following transcribed message, to further collaborate it

I trust the Lord that you would find grace to patiently read with an open heart.

Another Look @ John Chapter 3 – Part 12

1Pet. 1:13 Wherefore gird up the loins of your mind, be sober, and hope to the end for the grace that is to be brought unto you at the revelation of Jesus Christ

• From the above scripture, we can see that there is a peculiar aspect of grace that comes ONLY when Jesus Christ is unveiled, not when we have a sermon on Jesus of Nazareth and such are ministrations that unveil the kingdom of God.
• Christ is the first fruit of the kingdom and he wants to plant in us the seed of that kingdom.
• Before You Can Declare The Lord, You Must Have Been Taught Christ (Eph. 4:20-21), then you would be given the pen of a ready writer (Ps. 45:1), which is the tongue of the learned (Isa. 50:4)
• God is full of Grace. With each seed (i.e. word from God) comes a peculiar grace. There is a touch of divine life upon each seed which carries its own particular grace and brings forth after its kind.
• The Kingdom has SEEDS (i.e. plural tense) and also has its SEED (i.e. singular tense). The former (i.e. SEEDS) can take care of our natural needs but it would take the later (i.e. SEED) to take care of our spiritual or eternal needs.
• Amongst the SEEDS of the kingdom, each SEED has its peculiarity, its own promise, spiritual vocabulary, intelligence and bears a kind of fruit, but the SEED of the kingdom is not of this earthly dimension. The carnal/natural mind of a believer or unbeliever can relate with biblical SEEDS, because it has terrestrial expressions and we call such today PROOFS, RESULTS/SUCCESS.
• Angels were ascending and descending upon Jesus because he had become a tree of righteousness, a fully grown SEED. He was the personality of the kingdom amidst men.

Jn 17:20-21 And when he was demanded of the Pharisees, when the kingdom of God should come, he answered them and said, The kingdom of God cometh not with observation: Neither shall they say, Lo here! or, lo there! for, behold, the kingdom of God is within you (i.e. amidst them was the personality of the kingdom in the person of Jesus).

• When it comes to the SEED of the kingdom, you need an order of words or accelerated utterance, such which Apostle Paul prayed for (Eph. 6:19), to convey the expressions of the SEED of the kingdom and therefore make known the MYSTERY OF THE GOSPEL/CHRIST (Rom. 16:25)

• To find the SEEDS in the bible is easy, but to find the SEED is difficult. A minister or ministry can easily find biblical SEEDS, do great works with it but still be tossed to and from by wind of doctrines/teachings (Eph. 4:14). A motivational speaker can easily relate with the SEEDS in the bible and BUILD A MINISTRY (Matt. 7:22-23/Lk. 13:26/27) thereby, but it would take great mercies to locate the SEED of the Kingdom and BUILD MEN (Matt. 16:18) thereby.

Matt. 7:22 Many will say to me in that day, Lord, Lord, have we not prophesied in thy name? and in thy name have cast out devils? And in thy name done many wonderful works? 7:23 And then will I profess unto them, I never knew you: depart from me, ye that work iniquity.

(i.e. you can do a lot of wonderful outward works/exploits in ministry, but with the iniquity program still present in such minister/ministry, men can’t be built in the Knowledge of God’s Will needed for an entrance into the kingdom = Matt. 7:21/2 Pet. 1:4-11)

• To find and stay with SEED of the kingdom is tough! You must be ready to be mocked by other friends, relatives and even ministers. You must be ready for the shame that comes with the gospel =Rom. 1:16a=.
•  The grain of Mustard Seed (Matt. 13:31-32) was likened to being the least of all Seeds and therefore is difficult to FIND or KEEP. Other words would come and tempt your heart. Blessed are you if your find and can keep it. Trials and tribulations would come as a result of such seed (Mark 4:17), because it's not of this terrain and many fail the test of such pressures.

Matt. 13:31 Another parable put he forth unto them, saying, The kingdom of heaven is like to a grain of mustard SEED (i.e. singular tense), which a man took, and sowed in his field: 13:32 Which indeed is the least of all seeds (i.e. plural tense): but when it is grown, it is the greatest among herbs, and becometh a tree

(i.e. That which would raise a believer into becoming a full blown fruit/tree of righteousness = Isa 61:3 = is the Gospel of Christ, the SEED of the kingdom, through it would the good tidings of THE GOSPEL BE REECIVE IN MEEKNESS – Isa. 61:1b)

• Satan used the letters of biblical SEEDS to tempt the Lord Jesus in various ways in Matthew chapter 4, but the Lord responses to each temptation came from the incorruptible SEED that liveth and abideth forever (1Pet. 1:23)

• The incorruptible SEED was what the Lord was making reference to when he said severally "heaven and earth shall pass away, but not a title of my word shall pass away". Earthly promises that biblical SEEDS produce would always pass away, be it a car, house, shelter, clothing, food etc.

• That which doesn't pass way is related to the kind of God’s love stated in 1Pet. 1Vs. 22 and such is the love that causes our outwards man to go through seasons of death while submitting to God’s dealings/trials. Love is the atmosphere the incubates the seed

1Pet 1:22 Seeing ye have purified your souls in obeying the truth through the Spirit unto unfeigned love of the brethren, see that ye love one another with a pure heart fervently:

• The SEED of the kingdom is that which deals with our boundaries, crack our walls and annul our mindsets, so we don’t welcome it like we would welcome biblical SEEDS with juicy promises.
•  His kingdom is not the present heavens. The kingdom has been ruling over the present heavens =Ps. 103:19= for time immemorial and has longed to rule over the earth, over man. When it concludes that agenda, the present heavens would be packed and done away with in fulfillment of 2 Pet. 3:10-13.
•  As you mature in the Spirit, your meal changes and some carnal messages would no more appeal to you. Others would cause you constipation when you fall back on such. Matured meals demand more patience and hardly have to do with what many believers would readily celebrate as the PROOFS or RESULTS of the Christian faith!
• When the SEED of the kingdom is found with you, angels would minister to you in fulfillment of Hebrews 1:14. Your night vigils and fasting would cease to attend to your natural needs then, because heaven has ordained that such would be brought forth as an addition =Matt. 6:33= as you wait on that seed.
• Heaven would teach you contentment when you get here and deal with us as a sojourner like they did to those faithful ones in Hebrews 11. This is where heaven would begin to exchange your strength with theirs =Isa. 40:31= and also regulate the supply of your natural needs while channeling more grace to ensure your continuity in the path of life 
• As you hold that SEED, you would partake of more grace, and if you continue to the end (Matt. 10:22/24:13), you would end in the father (Jn. 13:3), not just in heaven like the thief on the cross/many believers would do. 
• Lk. 8 vs. 11 describes the SEED as the WORD OF GOD and 1Pet. 1:23 describes it as THE INCORRUPTIBLE SEED designed to continually save the soul of believers
• The purpose of the SEED is COMPLETE SALVATION and SALVATION BELONGS UNTO TO OUR GOD WHO IS SEATED ON THE THRONE! Rev. 12:10
• Some abort the purpose of the seed and fall away when tempted, like Adam did, unlike Jesus did.
• The cares of this world and the deceitfulness of riches/success (Mark 4:19) can't coexist with this SEED. 
• The lord wants us to be materially prosperous but hates covetousness which is yet to be dealt amongst many believers. Following the leading of the Spirit is the antidote to covetousness and then would the Lord comfortable bring us into a blame-free material riches.
• The hearts of many believers have so far held ephemeral things at the expense of holding that SEED. Things that perish while being used cause our hearts to perish when we hold unto them at the expense of holding the SEED of the kingdom.
• A good ground according to Lk. 8 Vs. 8/15 is a good heart is such that can keep the SEED of the kingdom. David Calls such heart a Pure Heart =Ps. 24:4. Jacob's heart could keep Gods things, it could keep faith so God called such heart GOOD,  though he was a surplanter and cunning upstairs.

Bless You!

kindly forward to your circle of influence if agree and have been blessed by it

Glory Vs. The Glory - Part 2

Beloved of God,

There is a reason for a major emphasis in the New Testament on seeking things that are not subject to degradation or corruption, seeking goodly pearls that are real in the realm of reality/truth, seeking divine things that would determine our personality in the world age to come when time would have been swallowed up by eternity (Matt.13:45/6:33). This is because it is the only safe way to lavish the soul’s energy bank called our affection. (Col. 3:1)

2 Cor. 4:18  “While we look not at the things which are seen, but at the things which are not seen: for the things which are seen are temporal; BUT THE THINGS WHICH ARE NOT SEEN ARE ETERNAL.”

The need for clarity on this elusive emphasis was what prompted the Lord Jesus to counsel those who should make up the company called FEW (Matt. 7:14) to ‘labour not for the meat that perishes but for that meat which endures unto everlasting life. (Jn. 6:27)

We must be as concerned as God is about things that transcend time because it is eternally costlier for us to learn in heaven, what we were meant to learn while on earth? If God would not be ashamed to be called Our God, we must be prepared to live as strangers and pilgrims on earth (Heb. 11:13-16) while discountenancing the glories of this world as we fight the good fight of faith.

Heb.  11:13 -16 These all died in faith, not having received the promises, but having seen them afar off, and were persuaded of them, and embraced them, and confessed that they were strangers and pilgrims on the earth. For they that say such things declare plainly that they seek a country. And truly, if they had been mindful of that country from whence they came out, they might have had opportunity to have returned. 11:16 But now they desire a better country, that is, an heavenly: wherefore God is not ashamed to be called their God: for he hath prepared for them a city (i.e. a rest)

1 Pet. 1:24 “For all flesh is as grass, and all the glory of man (i.e natural/carnal man) as the flower of grass. The grass withers, and the flower thereof falls away. BUT THE WORD OF THE LORD ENDURES FOREVER.”

The essence of Apostle Paul’s prayer in Eph. 1:17-18 was so that the Ephesian believers would journey from receiving Jesus as Savior wherein they carried out exploits of Faith Towards God and Love Unto All Brethren (Eph. 1:14) into an intimate relationship wherein they would Know Jesus as The Christ, for this is where the blindness of hearts can be dealt with and this is where they would rightly appraise what God calls GLORY. We unfortunately assume that the new birth takes care of our hearts blindness, but the provision for this is enumerated in Apostle Paul’s commission in Acts. 28:18 and takes place years; if not unfortunately decades after many come into the Christian faith.

Acts. 26:18 TO OPEN THEIR EYES and to turn them from darkness to light, and from the power of Satan unto God, that they may receive forgiveness/remission of sins, and inheritance among them which are sanctified by faith that is in me

The power managing man’s blindness is not an operation from demons but Satan, and it can only be destroyed when the eyes of our understanding is enlightened (Eph. 1:18) when we come into REVELATION KNOWLEDGE OF CHRIST. By Believing Jesus, we can handle demons, but it takes Knowledge of The Christ for us to handle Satan, the prince of this world

Our inability to distinguish between Believing In Jesus and Knowing Jesus Christ leaves us giving a Religious Approach To The Christian Faith  

• By Religion, I mean that which I practiced for the 1^st 18 years of my life when I believed I was a Christian because I always went to Church!
• By religion, I mean that which is inferior to Satan’s Wisdom, born when Adam began to relate with God with his fallen understanding through which he therefore sewed fig leaves
• By religion, I mean the vast intellectually appealing thoughts lacking in divine revelation of ‘How To Please Or Serve God’, but present in the air and celebrated by man after the fall.
• By religion I mean a carnal unlawful knowledge of Jesus after the flesh (2Cor. 5:16), the very stumbling block of the Pharisees, Sadducees and even his disciples at various point in time.
• By religion, I mean that which despises the true essence of Faith that THE JUST SHOULD LIVE BY (Hab. 2:4/Gal. 3:11) and thereby settling for forms of godliness that never lacks the approval of men.
• By religion, I mean every earthly bound philosophy of Cain which cant thrive in God’s presence, though can result in the building of a city after departing God’s presence (Gen. 4:16).
• By religion, I mean that body of intellectual information traceable to ‘the letters in the bible’ that has invaded the church in the form of motivational teachings, e.t.c., which lacks the wisdom of comparing spiritual with spiritual by the aid of the Holy Ghost. (1Cor. 2:13)

The Lord’s desire is that his Church, you and I, would begin to passionately Seek Unseen Things like we once sought the world, for this is what can give us an edge over fallen spirits that rule this world. Such are The Secrets of The Lord that would enable us to Sight The Invincible like Moses did (Heb. 11:26-27) and Prosper in God’s Definition Of Prosperity. Then would we esteem and prepare to partake in Christ’s Greater Riches (Heb. 11.26), which is God’s ordained True Riches, Our Spiritual Inheritance and Glory. (Eph. 1:3/3:8/1 Tim. 6:17/Lk. 16:11)

Bless You!

Glory V. Glories - Part 1

Dear Beloved,

I realize that the earth holds custody of innumerable glories of different kind. Some lawful, but in view of the tiny portion of eternity called time where we live, others are expedient. Apostle Paul therefore said clarified thus ‘We can have the things of The World (earthly goods/glories) but shouldn't abnormally use it’. However, it takes Mercy to know that only the person of the Holy Spirit can reveal the boundary that governs the use of natural ‘blessings/glories’, outside which we would become captivated i.e. become lawful captives. (1 Cor. 15:41/Jn. 14:26/Lk. 4:18)

Isa. 49:24 “Shall the prey be taken from the mighty, or the lawful captive delivered? …

1 Cor. 6:12 “All things are lawful unto me, but all things are not expedient: all things are lawful for me, but I will not be brought under the power of any.”

-          There is a glory around clothing. Though legitimate, I once found myself as a passionate captive of a ‘pull’ that made me steal and covet the buying of ‘crested designer clothing’ in the early 90’s, a hype of that season. (1 Jn. 2:15-16)

-          There is a glory around beautiful automobiles. While it should be a tool to fulfill ‘purpose’, I recall those youthful days when I stood for days by a highway during festive seasons, watching travelers with different brands of cars while travelling home during festive seasons. That was one of my unknown ‘idols’ as an unbeliever. I lavished the affection that should be set ‘above’ on cars! No wonder some would go far beyond their means or do many things against their conscience just to get an automobile. (Col. 1:18/Col. 3:2/1 Jn. 5:21)

-          There is a glory around pleasures. No wonder I was responsible for organizing parties for youths from various secondary schools way back, sneaking out of boarding school to carry out various exciting works of the flesh. (Gal. 5:19-20)

This list is endless, the experience is that of The Soul but I’ll hereby witness to The Greatest Subtle Enemy To Obtaining God’s Glory which once existed before mankind ‘slept’ and ‘awoke’ to another reality labeled as Glory! (Matt. 13:25/28)

If we attempt to view the skeleton of the book of Genesis, we would find an awesome expectation, a divine burden borne by the Godhead, all to see man inherit the Glory of God.

·         When David had a clue of this yearning, he asked ‘What makes God’s mind full of man’, what makes such a great being to condescend to man in every generation. (Ps. 8:4)

·         When Paul comprehended the length and breadth of this Glory, he proclaimed ‘Great is the Mystery of Godliness…’ The Mystery that assures us that we can supernaturally experience God like Jesus did! (1 Tim. 3:16)

·          When Paul realized that the Jews would miss out in a visitation meant to engraft them back to that Glory, he cried, ‘Oh that I was accursed from Christ for my brethren, Israel’s sake’. (Rom. 9:3)

·         When he further visualized it, his will was strengthened not only to suffer in chains but to die Christ sake. (Acts. 21:13)

We are predestined for Glory (Rom. 8:30), but have an enemy who fell short of God’s Glory and vehemently fights man that attempts to seek God’s Glory! Satan arsenal is the world, and that was what he employed in tempting Christ (Matt. 4:1-13). The world is that which appeals to a natural mind, has brought down the small and mighty and fights our capacity to delay gratification.

Our arch-enemy, Satan, understood the priestly order of the most holy courts of heaven before his fall and as a fallen priest, he effortlessly invented the law called Sin.

He knew that men would have to operate by one law or another, either by the Law of the Spirit of Life in Christ Jesus or according to the Laws that emanate from a fellowship with the fruits of the tree of the knowledge of Good and Evil that gave birth to LUSTS. So he stepped into action in Gen. 4 and found Cain who fellowshipped with the signals of that tree until ‘SIN was lurking at his door’.

Satan understood that God wanted mankind to live by Faith (i.e. transact with the realm of the unseen), so he went into the physical realm and employed his ‘usurped authority over the air’ to beam and build lusts around everything that man could relate with through the 5 physical senses (i.e. anything with a physical expression from the creature to things invented). (Eze. 28:14-16/Dan. 10:20/Eze. 28:2/Eph. 2:2/Rom. 7:22-23/8:2/Gal. 6:2/Jam. 1:25)

Through Cain’s inordinate desire for independence from the Faith of Life, he promoted this virus while the likes of Nimrod who had an ability to hunt souls later perfected this vision. Satan effectively used the ‘air advantage’ which he stole from Adam to beam lustful thoughts over succeeding generations and heavily corrupted the software of God’s Life in the souls of men. He perverted the course of the spiritual laws of Faith meant to drive man’s Soul to attain the fullness of God’s Person. By Gen. 6, that virus had grounded the life of Faith. Glories around the earthly/carnal life had swallowed up God’s plan. The Physical Became The Only Reality To Man Not The Spiritual!

Every civilization under the sun have employed this virus and profited with it. It finds expression in virtually any profession on earth that lacks an understanding of The Profession of Faith (Heb. 3:1). This virus restricts Christ from permeating the Souls of Christians after losing out in their Human Spirit at new birth. This virus understands and flourishes with any religion not founded by the Revelations of Christ. It knows the measure of liability that every Christian poses to its agenda, depending on their walk. It knows that Christians are only as strong as their weakest point. This virus is called The Lust of The Flesh/Eyes and The Pride of Life, THE CONSTITUTION CALLED THE WORLD! (Matt. 16:18/Acts 19:15/1 Jn. 2:16)

I’m not primarily talking of the physical world even though that has not been left out. I’m talking about that force that we can only contend with head long with via the Wisdom of the Epistles which reveals The True Color of the World. I’m talking about those daily thoughts that besiege our minds that seek to strengthen mindsets/strongholds built before and after we came to know Christ as Savior but only crucified after we truly know Christ as LORD! (Prov. 4:23/Matt. 7:21)

Through the initial salvation in the mid 90’s, I ‘woke up’ from some youthful exuberance earlier mentioned, but my sight/judgment had been reduced and accustomed to ‘that which passes away – The World’. I had adapted to a world that kept recycling itself through ephemeral glories. I had deceptively learnt of a sufficiency outside Christ. I had spent a wholesome 18 yrs running as one that beats the air, celebrated by the blind, living in a world perfected with deception, busy nurturing the world’s very ambition to rob me of seeking the knowledge called Eternal Life which should have been preparing me for God’s Glory. (Eph. 4:17/1 Jn. 2:17/2 Cor. 3:5-6/1 Jn. 17:3/Jn. 5:20)

I then had to begin the fight to enthrone Christ as Lord (over my Will, Mind & Emotions), a daily costly patient race to disown the images/philosophies of LUSTS which can only be conquered gradually.

But thanks Be Unto God that I’m steadily being set free from The World after discovering a particular kind of Word called ‘The Word of Righteousness’ which exposes, handles and skillfully pierces The World! One that illustrates a faith other than that which is readily embraced and employed in the initial phase of our walk with God, i.e. The Faith of The Son! (Heb. 5:14/Acts 26:18/Gal. 2:20/Rev. 14:12)

Selah!

AND SIN BECAME A PERSONAL HISTORY & TRUE HOLINESS A REALITY - Part 2

Dearly Beloved,

1.    It may interest you to know that Apostle Paul’s job description/commission as summarized in Acts 26:18 was to deal with the blindness that was created by man’s unknown enemy and God’s sole enemy. But the most puzzling response to this from the church (you and I) is the fact that we all assume we have been healed of this blindness because we have been believers for decades and have carried out various mighty works/exploits!

2.       Apostle Peter for example, once carried out great exploits without having the issue of blindness dealt with while he was a disciple (Lk. 10:17) and even during the early stage as an Apostle of the milk of the word as confirmed by his initial exploits of the book of Acts (Acts 3:6 etc). His shortcomings in Acts 10:11-16 and Rom. 2:11-12 for example were due to limited spiritual enlightenment. After that blindness had been healed, we saw an Apostle Paul that wrote epistles with spiritual contents that neither can ever be reviewed by man nor easily understood by the professors of this world.

3.       It may also interest you to know that the being we see behind the mirror, i.e. the outward man (1Pet. 3:3) was not the being that David called being fearfully and wonderfully made (Ps. 139:14a). David was describing the awesome being called the SOUL, whose singular calling is to Know God, full stop! The soul which was wisely described as the inward man (Ps. 139:14d/2Cor. 4:16) was later Caught In A Mysterious Thicket Called Sin, though called to attain the same glorious/thronic state of the regenerated human spirit, the inner man, which is the hidden man of the heart (Eph. 3:16/1Pet. 3:4a).

4.      While we have all manner of dreams, visions and pursuit in life and ministry today, David’s vision, passion and dream was to become like God (Ps. 17:15), to become like an unrevealed Christ! Today, we need the help of the seven spirits of the throne to rightly dissect what he declared in the Psalms. It was David, who while Making Reference To The Height From Which Sin Originated And Sin Was Beyond Him, cried in Ps. 25:11 ‘O Lord, Pardon Mine Iniquity; For It Is Great’!

Ps. 17:15 As for me, I will behold thy face in righteousness: I shall be satisfied, when I awake, with thy likeness.

5.  It was David who in great sincerity made reference to Presumption Sins, which are Shortcomings Higher Than Our Current Discernment of Sin as evident in our black and white bible prints and as discouraged through our level of preaching today. Unfortunately, the extremes of the new creation reality message has limited some believers from humbly acknowledging that there is a sin problem (1Jn. 1:8) which only the gracious spiritual provisions of the New Testament can deal with as we selfless journey to confront such with our very blood/life - Heb. 12:4.

1 Jn. 1:8 If we say that we have no sin, we deceive ourselves, and the truth is not in us.

Heb. 12:4 Ye have not yet resisted unto blood, striving against sin.

Ps. 19:13 Keep back thy servant also from presumptuous sins; let them not have dominion over me (Rom. 6:14): then shall I be upright…

Pls note that some biblically traceable inferences based on previous instructions on such truths over the years has been personally referenced by me in the following transcribed message to further collaborate it. 

Bless You!

AND SIN BECAME A PERSONAL HISTORY & TRUE HOLINESS A REALITY – Part 2

·        A believer can have a sinful nature but not express it as an act and such is simply yet to be set free by the truth (Jn. 8:32). We are still lacking in the experience that made the writer of Hebrews declare in Heb. 7:26 concerning the Lord that he was ‘SEPARATE FROM SINNERS’ (i.e. distinct from all men that hadn’t been perfected/come into what he came into). Others go ahead of the realm of having a sinful nature but not expressing it to working out sin, i.e. work iniquity (Matt. 7:23).

1Pet 4:1 Forasmuch then as Christ hath suffered for us in the flesh, arm yourselves likewise with the same mind: for he that hath suffered in the flesh hath ceased from sin

(i.e. Paul was a chief pattern of how suffering and salvation from unknown sin go hand in hand – 1Tim. 1:16. So, there is a suffering in the flesh that would address a believer’s sin problem. Christ epitomized it, Paul followed. We also must)

Heb. 2:10 For it became him, for whom are all things, and by whom are all things, in bringing many sons unto glory, to make the captain of their salvation perfect through sufferings.

Lk. 1:16 And many of the children of Israel shall he turn to the Lord their God. 1:17 And he shall go before him in the spirit and power of Elias, to turn the hearts of the fathers to the children, and the disobedient to the wisdom of the just; to make ready a people prepared for the Lord.

Mal. 4:5 Behold, I will send you Elijah the prophet before the coming of the great and dreadful day of the LORD: 4:6 And he shall turn the heart of the fathers to the children, and the heart of the children to their fathers, lest I come and smite the earth with a curse.

Lk. 1:76 And thou, child, shalt be called the prophet of the Highest: for thou shalt go before the face of the Lord to prepare his ways; 1:77 TO GIVE KNOWLEDGE OF SALVATION unto his people by the REMISSION OF THEIR SINS, 1:78 Through the tender mercy of our God; whereby the dayspring from on high hath visited us

(i.e. the is a particular kind of knowledge that would solve the sin problem of a believer)

·         The ways of the Lord is meant to touch base with the geography of man’s heart

·        For John the Baptist to give knowledge that could bring about salvation, he was a blessed man. Therefore, Lk. 7:28 declared …’among those that are born of women (i.e. including Moses, Abraham, Elisha) there is not a greater prophet than John the Baptist…

·         THE KNOWLEDGE OF SALVATION (i.e. KNOWLEDGE THAT SAVES THE SOUL) IS WHAT WOULD TURN THE HEARTS OF CHILDREN TO FATHER AND THE DISOBEDIENT TO THE WISDOM OF THE JUST

·         You need to make a man wise to know the ways of the Lord.

·         The church would not put off sin without a kind of knowledge that saves. Without a peculiar understanding, sin won’t drop.

·         The Lord remits people’s sin by a peculiar light that brings salvation. We can see from Jn. 1:77 that John the Baptist was a teacher of salvation.

Jn. 3:2 Annas and Caiaphas being the high priests, the word of God (i.e. a knowledge and authority to teach that which would save them) came unto John the son of Zacharias in the wilderness. 3:3 And he came into all the country about Jordan, preaching the baptism of repentance for the remission of sins

·         John had a message. He was teaching about the remission of sins. The sins of the people were being remitted to prepare them to receive Jesus. What a ministry! Therefore, to a degree, those who were under John were cleansed.

·        By John’s teaching of the baptism of repentance, he was higher than Moses because he could move into the hearts of men and turn such (Lk. 1:16). John was a prophet of knowledge for remission of sins which was present in the hearts of men.

·         John didn't get people born again but taught people with light. He must have taught about some light about God’s ways

·         The power of Elias (Lk. 1:16) was an ability to turn heart from fathers to children and from children to father

·         The spirit of Elias is the power of the mantle/authority upon him i.e. everything Elias was doing was according to something upon him

·         JOHN USED KNOWLEDGE TO TURN HEARTS AND CREATE WAYS FOR THEM TO RESPOND TO THE LORD

·         Many hearts lack God’s ways. The putting into the heart of a particular kind of God’s Word, which is the two edged sword (Heb. 4:12) creates a way meant to ultimately make the Lord come

·      IT NOT EVERY KIND OF WORD IN THE BIBLE THAT CAN SAVE THE SOUL. ONLY THAT WHICH CAN SAVE GOES DIRECTLY TO THE HEART CAN SAVE IT FROM INIQUITY

James 1:21 Wherefore lay apart all filthiness and superfluity of naughtiness, and receive with meekness the engrafted word, which is able to save your souls.

(The engrafted word here is different from what the church once knew as word of faith that brought about various earthly victories. It can only be received by a believer that appreciates meekness/soul salvation)

·         The book of proverbs was to introduce hearts to a kind of wisdom and enable it thereby to relate with the ways of God in a measure.

·         When a genuine preacher is unveiling Christ/teaching his ways (Eph. 4:20), he is removing the worldly ways from the soul and thereby remitting sins (Jn. 20:23) so that another way called the way of righteousness can be laid which would limit the passage/entrance of sin

Jn. 20:23 Whose soever sins ye remit, they are remitted unto them; and whose soever sins ye retain, they are retained

·         The Lord is therefore so dedicated to the learning his ways because that is the only way the antidote to sin can be dispensed

·         GOD KNEW THAT IF THE CHILDREN OF ISRAEL GETS TO THE LAND OF CANAAN WITHOUT KNOWING HIS WAYS, THEY WOULD BECOME LIKE THE INHABITANTS OF THAT LAND WHICH WERE HIS ENEMIES, SO HE DEMANDED THAT THEY LEARN HIS WAYS (1kings 3:14/11:28, Ps. 81:13/95:10)

Ps. 95:10 Forty years long was I grieved with this generation, and said, It is a people that do err in their HEART, and they have not known MY WAYS:

Lk. 1:77 To give knowledge of salvation unto his people by the remission of their sins

(i.e. you need to come to a place where you would know how to be saved, know how to receive salvation)

·     The spirit of wisdom and revelation (Eph. 1:17-18) is to bring about an enlightenment that would help remove sin from you. That is the purpose of Ephesians chapter one, therefore reference of ‘...should be holy and blameless’ in Eph. 1:4 and ‘... forgiveness/remission of sins through his blood in Eph. 1:7. Though believers, they were lacking here)

·         What some call the third day knowledge is not for us to shine with but for us to KNOW HOW TO BE SAVED, KNOW HOW TO BE SAVED FROM CORRUPTION AND BE KEPT FROM THE EVIL ONE – 1Jn. 5:18

1Jn. 5:18 We know that whosoever is born of God sinneth not (i.e. over destination); but he that is begotten of God keepeth himself, and that wicked one toucheth him not.

·         You can only learn the ways of God from the voice of the son which comes by revelation. He is the true speaker of the house (Heb. 1:2/3:6&15)

Lk. 1:78 Through the tender mercy of our God; whereby the dayspring from on high hath visited us

(i.e. If God isn’t merciful, the day spring from on high needed to attend to our nature problem won’t come. The Lord’s outreach to us is coming from a place that discerns our shortcomings. The Lord knows that you know nothing about sin, so he responds to our ignorance through compassion and desires to teach us what is called wrong doing).

Lk. 1:79 To give light to them that sit in darkness and in the shadow of death, to guide our feet into the way of peace.

(i.e. when this kind of light comes, your feet would be positioned for the preparation of the gospel of peace – Eph.6:15)

·         JOHN WAS THE LORD’S PROPHET WHILE IN THE FLESH. WHAT WOULD BE THE STATURE OF THOSE THAT WOULD SPEAK OF THE LORD’S KNOWLEDGE IN THIS END TIME?

·       A lot of believers whose sins would have been remitted would get to heaven with their garments made white (rev. 3:5) i.e. they would have washed their robes in the blood of the lamb (Rev. 7:14). They would have completed their course in the leading of the spirit and thereby accept this cleansing provision.

Rev. 1:5 And from Jesus Christ, who is the faithful witness, and the first begotten of the dead, and the prince of the kings of the earth. Unto him that loved us, and WASHED US FROM OUR SINS IN HIS OWN BLOOD

(The actual Kings of the earth are those who have overcome sin and all that sin represents, not those who just confess it)

·         Suffering with Christ (2Tim. 2:12) is a peculiar technology of the spirit that teaches us how to deny ungodliness and shun worldly lusts as taught by the Holy Spirit.

Titus 2:11 For the grace of God (via the spirit of grace – Heb. 10:29) that bringeth salvation hath appeared to all men, 2:12 teaching us that, denying ungodliness and worldly lusts, we should live soberly, righteously, and godly, in this present world (i.e. Jn. 14:26 fulfilled!)

Jn. 14:26 But the Comforter, which is the Holy Ghost, whom the Father will send in my name, he shall teach you all things, and bring all things to your remembrance, whatsoever I have said unto you.

·         Then would we understand what Apostle Paul meant in 1Pet 4:1 ….for he that hath suffered in the flesh hath ceased from sin

·       A whole lot are in the ministry today who haven’t discerned what sin is and therefore don’t live above sin while carrying out ministry. The commission of the New Testament is to teach men the ways of the Lord and actually remove sins from such within a short time
