All His Works Are Done In Truth

As I look back in the year 2011, I would say the most important lesson the Lord taught me was that ALL His works are done IN Truth, not just because of Truth, but IN Truth. Psalms 33:4 states
“For the word of the LORD is right; and ALL His works are done IN truth”.Jesus claimed to be the Truth and the only thing that makes Him Truth to anyone is the work He accomplished at Calvary, therefore rightly dividing the scriptures would be as follows. Jesus said, “You shall know the Truth and the Truth shall make you free” (John 8:32) and He was referring to freedom from sin. Also Paul wrote to the church in Rome, “He that is dead, is free from sin” (Romans 6:7). When we bring these two scriptures together RIGHTLY dividing them we find the common ground to be the cross of Christ, for there we die with Him (Rom 6:6) and there we were delivered from the one who had the power of death (Hebrews 2:14). My bible still tells me to walk today in the same manner as I received Him (Colossians 2:6), faith in His cross. That is how all born again Christians received Him.
This is the reason Paul preached nothing other than the cross of Christ (The Gospel) as it is the power of God (Romans 1:16). Many stumble over it today and have been deceived into believing they control God, but as I read and believe His Word, I see He is still the One upholding ALL things by the Word of His power. That Word of His power is Jesus and what He did on the old rugged cross. The Word became flesh and dwelt among us (John 1:14) so He could die for our sins, our faith could remain in Him, and His finished work cause the Holy Spirit to work on our behalf.
Understand, the Holy Spirit ONLY works according to a law, The law of the Spirit of Life IN Christ Jesus (Romans 8:2). There it is again IN Christ Jesus, IN the Truth. The Truth is IN Jesus (Ephesians 4:21). This is going to be the best year for our region as the Lord is delivering many from the distractions brought about by the enemy’s distractors (Enemies of the Cross).
We are praying for you, that this will be the year God brings you out from among those who have replaced the message of the cross by which we will all be judged according to (Romans 2:16), with men’s psychology, men’s traditions & anything that distracts from what our Lord Jesus did for us on Calvary’s hill. He told you to depart quite some time ago, but you have chosen relationships and a false unity over the Truth. The ONLY unity God honors is “the unity of the faith” (Ephesians 4:13). That is, “The faith of The Son of God who loved us and GAVE (His cross) Himself for us” (Galatians 2:20).
God bless you and may all who read have “ears to hear what the Spirit is saying to the church today”.

The Context of The Word Is Calvary

Those today who reject the cross, having become enemies of the cross are those who have placed their faith in ANYTHING other than the cross (what Christ accomplished there for us). Most do not understand, but that will not be a legitimate excuse before the Lord.
The Word of God tells us in Numbers 14:20 that the Lord pardoned His people and refrained from destroying them according to the Word of Moses. Notice, it was not the voice of Moses, nor just anything Moses would say, but that which God had already spoken which pointed to what Christ would accomplish at Calvary.
Numbers 14:17-19 reveal Moses being brought to a place of faith by the Lord so the Lord could save the people instead of destroying them. Note verse 17 as Moses pleas with the Lord saying, “Let the power of my Lord be great, according as you have spoken saying”. Verse 18 tells what God had spoken and could only do through what Jesus would do at Calvary.
FOR THOSE WHO HAVE EARS TO HEAR, know that it’s not our voice, our words, or even God’s Word that He honors, but only His Word in the context of what His Son would accomplish at Calvary. This is why the Apostle Paul would write,
“For the preaching of the cross is foolishness to those who are perishing, but unto us who are saved it is the power of God”.
The end is drawing near and God is moving and pouring out of His Spirit in this hour. I encourage all of you who truly belong to the Lord to come out from among the golden calf builders (those who preach anything other than the message of the cross). Who is on the Lord’s side? Remember the Truth, when you know it will make you free. Free from the golden calf builders – those who preach law and works – enemies of the cross.
We are praying for you and your house that the Lord will give you the eyes to see, courage, boldness and strength to come back to the Truth, the gospel, the faith which is the Christ and Him crucified – the power of God.
