The
apostle Paul declared:
God
gave me to present to you the Word of God in its fullness--
The
Mystery that has been hidden for ages and generations,
But
is now disclosed to the saints.
To
them God has chosen to make known among the Gentiles
The
glorious riches of this Mystery,
Which
is Christ in you the hope of glory.
We
proclaim Him, admonishing and teaching everyone with all wisdom,
So
that we may present everyone prefect in Christ.
To
this end I labor, struggling with all His energy,
Which
so powerfully works in me. (Colossians 1:25-29)
Today
this Mystery remains hidden to many who claim the name of Christ.
Today,
most people think of Christianity as a religion;
That
it is a collection of those who believe that Jesus Christ is the Son
of God;
The
One Who came and died on the Cross of Calvary for our sins;
The
One Who promised to come again.
The
problem is that even the demons believe that and shudder. (James
2:19)
No!
Faith in Christ Jesus is not simple believing He is the Son of God;
It
is not simply making a confession of Faith;
That
He is Lord and that God raised Him from the dead.
That
is the necessary beginning point,
But
Faith must go beyond the intellectual to a spiritual reality.
Now,
Christ must become Lord of your life.
Now,
you must be baptized with His Holy Spirit and with Fire,
As
He commanded;
Which
enables you to walk in the Light of Christ.
No
one can walk in the Light of Christ,
Bearing
fruit for His Kingdom, in his own strength.
Only
Christ in you can withstand the assault of the evil one,
The
ruler of this dark world.
Christ
Jesus is the Baptizer in His Holy Spirit and with fire.
He
commanded that His disciples wait in Jerusalem for the Promise of the
Father
And
they did, and ten days later they received that which was promised.
Every
Christan must have his personal Day of Pentecost as Christ commanded.
Faith
in Christ Jesus is a State of Being;
It
is Christ living in and through you, controlling every aspect of your
life,
Which
is the only hope that exists, in all that exists.
Faith
in Christ Jesus is a State of Being
The
End of which is to present you PREFECT in Christ;
To
bring you to a State of becoming ONE with Christ Jesus
As
He and the Father are ONE [John 17];
So
that the world will know that Christ Jesus was sent by the Father;
Which
means that this happens in the here and now, not the by and by.
Have
you died with Christ to the basic principals of this world?
Do
you submit yourself to its rules?
Do
not handle! Do not taste! Do not touch!
These
things are all destined to perish with use,
Because
they are base on human commands and teachings.
Such
regulations indeed have an appearance of wisdom,
With
their self-imposed worship, their false humility
And
their harsh treatment of the body
But
they lack any value in restraining sensual indulgence.
Since,
then, you have been raised with Christ,
Set
your hearts on things above,
Where
Christ is seated at the right hand of God.
Set
your minds on things above, not on earthly things.
For
you died, and your life is now hidden with Christ in God.
When
Christ, Who is your LIFE appears,
Then
you will also appear with Him in Glory. (Colossians 2:21-23, 3:1-4)
Understand
this, unless you have died with Christ to this world,
You
will not be receive by Him when He comes.
This
world is the enemy of Christ. (James 4:4)
I
pray that all who read this message have died to this wicked world,
And
that they will be prepared to meet the Lord when He comes;
That
they will be like the five wise virgins
With
enough oil of the Holy Spirit to receive their Bridegroom;
To
ALL others the door will be shut!
Today,
the world is raging against God, rushing toward oblivion. (Psalm 2)
America
is being ground to powder because of her SIN against God.
Save
yourself from this Corrupt Generation! (Acts 2:40)
As
God has written, so shall it be! Hallelujah! Maranatha!
Father, Your Kingdom
come, Your will be done, on earth as in Heaven!
