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”.
