NOW, Faith IS

How scary it actually would be if The LORD were to stop speaking to us, for we would utterly perish, seeing that we live by faith, and faith comes by hearing and hearing The WORD of GOD (Romans 10:17). Jesus said Himself that man does NOT live by bread alone (physical), but by EVERY WORD that proceeds out of the Mouth of the Father (spiritual).
It sounds so spiritual to say there are times The LORD just doesn’t seem to be Speaking to us and that we must go on what we have heard instead of what we ARE hearing, but The WORD of GOD reveals to us in Hebrews 11:1 that, NOW FAITH IS, therefore NOW we must always be hearing The LORD.

Those who don’t know Truth "themselves" have taught us so many erroneous things that we have remained in the same bondage's we have been in for years. Romans 7:5 teaches us that it is the law that stirs the sin nature. If someone is telling you anything other than placing your faith in the cross of Christ will Save, Deliver, Mature, Conform, or Sanctify you, be it known, The LORD did NOT send them with THAT message and The LORD did NOT send you there to keep PAYING THEM TO LIE TO YOU. The Holy Spirit works solely within the perimeter of THE FINISHED WORK OF CHRIST (His cross). If we think otherwise, we have fallen from grace and have joined the ranks with Cain and the likes of Copeland, Hagin and all the rest of the folks who have their faith in their confession, their giving, their praying, their church attendance, etc… This is all make believe and fairy tale. (LAW)

The Law of The Spirit of Life IN CHRIST JESUS (The cross) has made me FREE from the law of sin and death (Romans 8). Most do not know this TRUTH, that The Holy Spirit is confined by law, HIS LAW, to working within our hearts based on our faith in the cross exclusively. He works based on what Christ did not on what we do. Thank God!!! Where were you made FREE FROM SIN AND DEATH? For those who have ears to hear, it was at the cross of Christ.

God Bless you and know that we are praying The LORD will reveal this Great Mystery (TRUTH) to you. Always remember, it is ONLY TRUTH that can set you FREE.

Naaman

Although Naaman was a great man (Captain of the King of Syria’s army), yet still, he was a leper. Leprosy in the old covenant was symbolic of sin and Naaman desired to be free of this disease just as any Christian should desire to be free of the dominating power of sin. After being told of a prophet of God, Naaman set out, but the prophet just sent a messenger with a message for Naaman. The message was, “Go dip in the river Jordan seven times”. Naaman wasn’t pleased saying, “are not all the rivers of Damascus better than all the waters of Israel?

The Jordan River, Jordan meaning descender, descended from Galilee into the Dead Sea. The Jordon is representative of Calvary. Just as the Jordan runs into the Dead Sea, so does Christ’s baptism by John identify Himself with man and the purpose on His life. The Jordon points to His death and ours as well, because we were crucified with Him being baptized into His death (Romans 6:3)

All other waters (messages) look and sound good, but for those who have ears to hear and desire to walk in a place where leprosy (sin) doesn’t have dominion over you (Rom. 7:14), take note; It is only your faith in what Christ did at Calvary that allows the Holy Spirit to bring the victory you need. All else is just water that will not satisfy or sanctify. Remember: Your faith is not in the cross of Christ if your preacher isn’t preaching the cross of Christ.

The Lord will be coming any moment, in a twinkling of an eye, and the difference between the one’s that are gone with Him and the one’s remaining behind will be what the object of their faith has been. Months ago, the Lord revealed to me that for years I learned about ministry, but never learned what to minister. If we’ve been called by the Lord ministers of reconciliation, and have had the Word of reconciliation committed unto us, and have been reconciled by the blood, what is the ministry of those whom the Lord sends? Over the last few years, I’ve found my faith in many things that are good things, but none of them were things that allowed the Holy Spirit to work in my life. He only works in me based on my faith in His finished work at Calvary. (Romans 8:2)
