He Defines His WORD By His WORD

Ephesians 2:4 & 5

But God, Who is Rich in Mercy, for His Great Love wherewith He Loved us, even when we were dead in sins, hath quickened us together with Christ, (by Grace ye are Saved)

Don't you just love how God ALWAYS interprets and defines everything by HIS WORD? In this one verse, The LORD reveals the definition of Grace. All the terminologies we use today for the word grace such as "God's ability in man's inability", or "God's favor toward undeserving man" are all good phrases, but I'm a bible fanatic. The LORD has defined everything IN HIS WORD BY HIS WORD. Praise God!
The definition of GRACE is CHRIST AND CHRIST CRUCIFIED. You just read it in Ephesians 2:5. It was at the cross that God quickened us (made us Alive) with Christ. The Apostle Paul writes, by the Power of The Spirit of God, putting the definition of what HE, The LORD, just Said in parenthesis. The definition of GRACE IS WHAT CHRIST DID AT CALVARY. There is no other definition.

Hebrews 13:9

Be not carried about with divers and strange doctrines. For it is a good thing that the heart be established with Grace; not with meats, which have not profited them that have been occupied therein.

This scripture tells us that our hearts are established by Grace, nothing else. If Grace is what Christ did at Calvary, then what Christ did at Calvary is all and everything that will establish us. When The Apostle Paul requested three times that God remove the thorn from his flesh, God's comment to him was, "My Grace is sufficient". What Christ did for you at Calvary is enough. God's Grace is all that avails, it is all that empowers, it is all that Saves, it is all that delivers, and it is all that brings provision.
Unfortunately, today many are working theselves to death trying to get God to move in their lives all to NO avail. The Spirit of God is The Spirit of Grace (Hebrews 10:29). The Spirit of Grace operates exclusively within the perimeters of the Finished Work of Calvary. All the other things we are involved in other than just believing that Calvary was enough, we will just continue to frustrate the Grace of GOD.
I don't know about you, but it's time to get serious about the things of God. I need God's Grace more than anything in my life. When God sends the two witnesses, they will proclaim the message of the cross and the world will hate them to the point that when GOD does allow their death, the people will give gifts to one another. Which side of this line are you on today? Are you sitting under a preacher of the cross being taught The Word of God in context or are you involved with a group of people with all kinds of things going on that can't even be found in The Word of God? Return to your FIRST LOVE.

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.

If God Be FOR Us

Romans 8:31

What shall we then say to these things? If God be for us, who can be against us?

If God be FOR us, who can be against us! In this scripture is hidden treasure for those who are willing to search it out, as Proverbs 25:2 reveals, it is the honor of kings to be able to do so.

If God be FOR us, doesn’t describe Him being for everything we’re doing, or even that He’s on our side, although He is. The word “FOR” in this scripture in its fullest Greek meaning describes substitution (instead of; in place of).

God was instead of you at Calvary. He took our place. It was Him at the cross bearing the price for our sin. Not only at Calvary was He FOR you, but from the foundation of the world, He has been FOR you, because the Lamb was slain from the foundation of the world (Revelation 13:8 & 1 Peter 1:20). Not just eternity past, but also in the eternal future, He is FOR you. He’s making intercession FOR you now. Have you ever wondered what Jesus is actually DOING to make intercession FOR you as He is seated at the right hand of the Father?

The answer is in the very scripture that tells us He’s interceding for us. “He ever LIVETH”. His intercession is simply His life. He lives FOR you because He atoned FOR all sin FOR you FORever. (Hebrews 7:25)

The Lord is for you. Don’t you know the devil trembled when He heard God would become a man? “The Seed of the woman” (Genesis 3:15).
He got kicked out of heaven trying to dethrone God, and when He found out he would have to come up against God as a man, he immediately began trying to kill everyone he thought might be THE SEED of the woman. (The Redeemer) He knew if God became a man, he would lose on earth as he lost in heaven. Hallelujah!!!

Praise God. As we keep our faith in only what Jesus did at Calvary, we will walk in the Spirit and the flesh will not have its desires met, and sin will not have dominion over you.
