ABOVE ALL, YOU MUST UNDERSTAND THAT NO PROPHECY OF SCRIPTURE CAME ABOUT BY THE PROPHET'S OWN INTERPRETATION. FOR PROPHECY NEVER HAD ITS ORIGIN IN THE WILL OF MAN, BUT MEN SPOKE FROM GOD AS THEY WERE CARRIED ALONG BY THE HOLY SPIRIT. (2 Peter 1:20)
AND GOD HAS COMMITTED TO US THE MESSAGE OF RECONCILIATION. WE ARE THEREFORE CHRIST'S AMBASSADORS, AS THOUGH GOD WERE MAKING GOD'S APPEAL THROUGH US. WE IMPLORE YOU ON CHRIST'S BEHALF: BE RECONCILED TO GOD. GOD MADE CHRIST WHO HAD NO SIN TO BE SIN FOR US, SO THAT IN CHRIST WE MIGHT BECOME THE RIGHTEOUSNESS OF GOD. (2 Cor.5:19b-21)
BUT AS FOR YOU, CONTINUE IN WHAT YOU HAVE LEARNED AND HAVE BECOME CONVINCED OF, BECAUSE YOU KNOW THOSE FROM WHOM YOU LEARNED IT, AND HOW FROM INFANCY YOU HAVE KNOWN THE HOLY SCRIPTURES, WHICH ARE ABLE TO MAKE YOU WISE FOR SPIRITUAL SALVATION THROUGH FAITH IN CHRIST JESUS.
ALL SCRIPTURE IS GOD BREATHED AND IS USEFUL FOR TEACHING, REBUKING, CORRECTING AND TRAINING IN RIGHTEOUSNESS, SO THAT THE MAN OF GOD MAY BE THOROUGHLY EQUIPPED FOR EVERY GOOD WORK. (2 Tim. 3:14-17)
WE ARE CALLED TO BE DISCIPLES OF JESUS, "JESUS SAID FOLLOW ME". WE ALL GET THE SAME THING, GOD LOVES US ALL, WE HAVE NO MORE RIGHTS THAN ANYBODY ELSE. THERE IS A PLACE AT THE TABLE FOR US ALL. WE ARE TO SHARE GOD'S LOVE WITH EVERYONE WE MEET.
"BUT IF ANYONE OBEYS GOD'S WORD, GOD'S LOVE IS TRUELY MADE COMPLETE IN HIM. THIS IS HOW WE KNOW WE ARE IN GOD: WHOEVER CLAIMS TO LIVE IN GOD MUST WALK AS JESUS DID." (1 John 2:5-6) "GODS WORD IS GOD'S LOVE"!
THEN JESUS CAME TO THEM AND SAID, "ALL AUTHORITY IN HEAVEN AND ON EARTH HAS BEEN GIVEN TO ME.
THEREFORE GO AND MAKE DISCIPLES OF ALL NATIONS, BAPTIZING THEM IN THE NAME OF THE FATHER AND OF THE SON AND OF THE HOLY SPIRIT, AND TEACHING THEM TO OBEY EVERYTHING I HAVE COMMANDED YOU. AND SURELY I AM WITH YOU ALWAYS, TO THE END OF THE AGE." (Matt. 28:16-20) I AM A DISCIPLE OF GOD!
THOUGH YOU HAVE NOT SEEN CHRIST, YOU LOVE CHRIST; AND EVEN THOUGH YOU DO NOT SEE CHRIST NOW, YOU BELIEVE IN CHRIST AND ARE FILLED WITH AN INEXPRESSIBLE AND GLORIOUS JOY, FOR YOU ARE RECEIVING THE GOAL OF YOUR FAITH, THE SPIRITUAL SALVATION OF YOUR SOUL. (1Peter 1:8-9)
BUT NOW A RIGHTEOUSNESS FROM GOD, APART FROM LAW, HAS BEEN MADE KNOWN, TO WHICH THE LAW AND THE PROPHETS TESTIFY. THIS RIGHTEOUSNESS FROM GOD COMES THROUGH FAITH IN JESUS CHRIST TO ALL WHO BELIEVE. THERE IS NO DIFFERENCE, FOR ALL HAVE SINNED AND FALL SHORT OF THE GLORY OF GOD, AND ARE JUSTIFIED FREELY BY GOD'S GRACE THROUGH THE REDEMPTION THAT CAME BY CHRIST JESUS. GOD PRENSENTED CHRIST AS A SACRIFICE OF ATONEMENT THROUGH FAITH IN CHRIST'S BLOOD. (Rom.3:21-25a)
THEREFORE, SINCE WE ARE SURROUNDED BT SUCH A GREAT WITNESSES, LET US THROW OFF EVERYTHING THAT HINDERS AND THE SIN THAT SO EASILY ENTANGLES, AND LET US RUN WITH PERSEVERANCE THE RACE MARKED OUT FOR US. LET US FIX OUR EYES ON JESUS, THE AUTHOR AND PERFECTER OF OUR FAITH, WHO FOR THE JOY SET BEFORE HIM ENDURED THE CROSS, SCORNING ITS SHAME, AND SAT DOWN AT THE RIGHT HAND OF THE THRONE OF GOD. CONSIDER JESUS CHRIST WHO ENDURED SUCH OPPOSITTION FROM SINFUL MEN, SO THAT YOU WILL NOT GROW WEARY AND LOSE HEART. (Heb.12:1-3)
NOW FAITH IS BEING SURE OF WHAT WE HOPE FOR AND CERTAIN OF WHAT WE DO NOT SEE. THIS IS WHAT THE ANCIENTS WERE COMMENDED FOR. BY FAITH WE UNDERSTAND THAT THE UNIVERS WAS FORMED AT GOD'S COMMAND, SO THAT WHAT IS SEEN WAS NOT MADE OUT OF WHAT WAS VISIBLE. BY FAITH ABEL OFFERED GOD A BETTER SACRIFICE THAN CAIN DID. BY FAITH ABLE WAS COMMENDED AS A RIGHTEOUS MAN, WHEN GOD SPOKE WELL OF ABLE'S OFFERINGS. AND BY FAITH ABLE STILL SPEAKS, EVEN THOUGH ABLE IS DEAD. (BY FAITH ABLE WORSHIPED GOD)
BY FAITH ENOCH WAS TAKEN FROM THIS LIFE, SO THAT ENOCH DID NOT EXPERIENCE DEATH; ENOCH COULD NOT BE FOUND, BECAUSE GOD HAD TAKEN ENOCH AWAY. FOR BEFORE ENOCH WAS TAKEN, ENOCH WAS COMMENDED AS ONE WHO PLEASED GOD. AND WITHOUT FAITH IT IS IMPOSSIBLE TO PLEASE GOD, BECAUSE ANYONE WHO COMES TO GOD MUST BELIEVE THAT GOD EXIST AND THAT GOD'S REWARDS THOSE WHO EARNESTLY SEEK GOD. (BY FAITH ENOCH WALKED WITH GOD)
BY FAITH NOAH, WHEN WARNED ABOUT THINGS NOT YET SEEN, IN HOLY FEAR BUILT AN ARK TO SAVE HIS FAMILY. BY NOAH'S FAITH NOAH CONDEMNED THE WORLD AND BECAME HEIR OF THE RIGHTEOUSNESS THAT COME BY FAITH. (BY FAITH NOAH WORKED WITH GOD) (Heb.11:1-7)
BY FAITH I WORSHIP GOD, BY FAITH I WALK WITH GOD, AND BY FAITH I WORK WITH GOD!
I AM GOD'S POSSESSION AND GOD WORKS IN AND THROUGH ME EVERYDAY SO THAT I AM THOROUGHLY EQUIPPED FOR EVERY GOOD WORK. GOD IS THE ONLY THING THAT MATTERS, AND THE ONLY THING THAT MATTERS TO US IS OUR SPIRITUAL RELATIONSHIP WITH GOD. THROUGH SPIRITUAL PROCESSING GOD IS TRANSFORMING US TO BE THE BODY OF THE RISEN CHRIST IN THE WORLD.
APOSTLES OF CHRIST
SO THEN, MEN OUGHT TO REGARD US AS SERVANTS OF CHRIST AND AS THOSE ENTRUSTED WITH THE SECRET THINGS OF GOD. "NOW" IT IS REQUIRED THAT THOSE WHO HAVE BEEN GIVEN A TRUST MUST PROVE FAITHFUL. I CARE VERY LITTLE IF I AM JUDGE BY YOU OR BY ANY HUMAN COURT; INDEED, I DO NOT EVEN JUDGE MYSELF. MY CONSCIENCE IS CLEAR, BUT THAT DOES NOT MAKE ME INNOCENT. IT IS THE LORD WHO JUDGES ME. (1 Cor.4:1-4)
BUT AS SURELY AS GOD IS FAITHFUL, OUR MESSAGE TO YOU IS NOT "YES" AND "NO." FOR THE SON OF GOD, JESUS CHRIST, WHO WAS PREACHED AMONG YOU BY ME AND SILAS AND TIMOTHY, WAS NOT "YES" AND "NO," BUT IN CHRIST IT HAS ALWAYS BEEN "YES." FOR NO MATTER HOW MANY PROMISES GOD HAS MADE, THEY ARE "YES" IN CHRIST. AND SO THROUGH CHRIST THE "AMEN" IS SPOKEN BY US TO THE GLORY OF GOD. NOW IT IS GOD WHO MAKES BOTH US AND YOU STAND FIRM IN CHRIST. GOD ANOINTED US, SET GOD'S SEAL OF OWNERSHIP ON US, AND PUT GOD'S SPIRIT IN OUR HEARTS AS A DEPOSIT, GUARANTEEING WHAT IS TO COME. (2 Cor.1:18-22)
THOSE WHO OBEY GOD'S COMMANDS LIVE IN GOD, AND GOD IN THEM. AND THIS IS HOW WE KNOW THAT GOD LIVES IN US: WE KNOW IT BY THE SPIRIT GOD GAVE US. (1 John 3:24)
WE ARE FROM GOD, AND WHOEVER KNOWS GOD LISTENS TO US; BUT WHOEVER IS NOT FROM GOD DOES NOT LISTEN TO US. THIS IS HOW WE RECOGNIZE THE SPIRIT OF TRUTH AND THE SPIRIT OF FALSEHOOD. (1 John 4:6)
NO ONE HAS EVER SEEN GOD; BUT IF WE LOVE ONE ANOTHER, GOD LIVES IN US AND GOD'S LOVE IS MADE COMPLETE IN US. WE KNOW THAT WE LIVE IN GOD AND GOD IN US, BECAUSE GOD HAS GIVEN US OF GOD'S SPIRIT. AND WE HAVE SEEN AND TESTIFY THAT THE FATHER HAS SENT HIS SON TO BE THE SAVIOR OF THE WORLD. (1John 4:12-14)
CAN I GET AN AMEN FROM ALL WHO CALL ON GOD. AMEN!
TODAY I HAVE A COVENANT WITH GOD, GOD HAS PUT HIS LAWS IN MY HEART AND GOD HAS WROTE THEM ON MY MIND. MY COVENANT WITH GOD IS MY PERSONAL PATHWAY TO GOD. BY SPEAKING THE WORDS OF THIS COVENANT OUT OF MY MOUTH BACK INTO MY HEART IT STRENGTHEN MY FAITH.
AS YOU COME TO CHRIST, THE LIVING STONE - REJECTED BY MEN BUT CHOSEN BY GOD AND PRECIOUS TO GOD - YOU ALSO, LIKE LIVING STONES, ARE BEING BUILT INTO A SPIRITUAL HOUSE TO BE A HOLY PRIESTHOOD, OFFERING SPIRITUAL SACRIFICES ACCEPTABLE TO GOD THROUGH JESUS CHRIST.
FOR IN SCRIPTURE IT SAYS: "SEE, I LAY A STONE IN ZION, A CHOSEN AND PRECIOUS CORNERSTONE, AND THE ONE WHO TRUST IN CHRIST WILL NEVER BE PUT TO SHAME." (1 Peter2:4-6)
CHRIST WAS CHOSEN BEFORE THE CREATION OF THE WORLD, BUT WAS REVEALED IN THESE LAST TIMES FOR YOUR SAKE. THROUGH CHRIST YOU BELIEVE IN GOD, WHO RAISED CHRIST FROM THE DEAD AND GLORIFIED CHRIST, AND SO YOUR FAITH AND HOPE ARE IN GOD. (1 Peter 1:20-21)
I AM CHRIST LIKE AND I HAVE BEEN CALLED BY GOD , AND I AM THE FIRSTBORN OF MANY BROTHERS AND I AM A CHILD OF GOD, AND I WORSHIP GOD IN SPIRIT AND TRUTH!
"YET A TIME IS COMING AND HAS "NOW" COME WHEN TRUE WORSHIPERS WILL WORSHIP THE FATHER IN SPIRIT AND TRUTH, FOR THEY ARE THE KIND OF WORSHIPERS THE FATHER SEEKS. GOD IS SPIRIT, AND GOD WORSHIPERS MUST WORSHIP IN SPIRIT AND IN TRUTH." (John 4:23-24)
