Faith
in Jesus Christ is the most personal and intimate relationship
In
this natural life.
No one
else can give you LIFE;
That
is LIFE beyond the five senses; LIFE that is Holy and Perfect
As God
intended from the beginning;
As
Adam and Eve experienced in the Paradise before they sinned.
Christ
Jesus is LIFE itself He is the LIFE giving Spirit.
(1
Corinthians 15:45)
Without
Christ Jesus there would be NOTHING at all;
He is
the Genesis of all that exists; He is the Creator God.
What
may be know about God is plain to ever man and woman
Since
God has made it plain to them.
For
since the Creation of the world God's invisible qualities-
His
Eternal Power and Divine Nature—have been clearly seen ,
Being
understood from what has been made,
So
that men and women are without excuse. (Romans 1:19-20)
This
is God who Created you;
Who
knew you before you were conceived.
(Jeremiah
1:5)
Christ
Jesus know you better than you know yourself.
He
knows every thought you have ever had.
He
knows every intimate detail of your life.
If
you are listening, He is continually speaking to you.
His
desire is that you allow Him to impart Faith to you.
You
see Faith is a Gift from God. (Ephesians 2:8)
Faith
is not your coming to Believe in God,
It is
God coming to you and giving you the Faith to Believe in Him.
It is
entirely Supernatural; it is not intellectual.
What
is our part in Faith?
It is
to seek the God Who has made himself know to us
Through
all He has created;
The
One Who has given us our Conscience;
Our
God given understanding of what is right and what is wrong,
Even
though in our fallen, sin nature we cannot do what is right.
We
cannot do what our Conscience tells us to do
Because
the force of our fallen nature prevents us from doing what is right.
(Romans
7:15-20)
The
only way out of our fallen, sinful condition is to be Born Again;
Born
of the Spirit of God.
This
is allowing the Spirit of Christ Jesus
To
come and live in us and through us.
The
Father, God says that His New Covenant with us,
His
New Agreement with us is this:
'I
will put my law in their minds and write it on their hearts.
I
will be their God, and they will be My people.
No
longer will a man teach his neighbor, or a man his brother,
Saying,
'Know the Lord,'
For
they will all know Me, from the least of them to the greatest,'
Declares
the Lord. (Jeremiah 31:33-34)
The
apostle John says of this New Covenant:
You
have received and Anointing from the Holy One,
And
all of you know the TRUTH. (1 John 2:20)
Again
he says:
As
for you, the Anointing you received from Him remains in you,
And
you do not need anyone to teach you.
But
as His Anointing teaches you about all things
And
as that Anointing is real, not counterfeit--
Just
as it has taught you, remain in Him. (1 John 2:27)
We
always have the CHOICE to remain IN HIM or not.
Who
does Christ Jesus say our Teacher is to be? Listen:
And
so do not call anyone on earth 'father,' for you have One Father,
And
He is in Heaven.
Nor
are you to be called 'teacher,'
For
you have One Teacher, the Christ.' (Mathew 23:9-10)
Listen
to Christ Jesus again:
When
He, the Spirit of TRUTH, comes, He will guide you into ALL TRUTH.
He
will not speak on His Own; He will speak only what He hears,
And
He will tell you what is yet to come. (John 16:13)
What
did John the Baptist say about Christ Jesus,
The
man sent by God to announce the coming of the Christ? Listen:
I
baptize with water for Repentance.
But
after me will come One Who is more Powerful than I,
Whose
sandals I am not fit to carry.
He
will Baptize [IMMERSE]
you with the Holy Spirit and with Fire.
His
winnowing fork is in His hand,
and
He will clear His threshing floor, gathering the wheat into His barn
And
burning up the chaff with unquenchable Fire. (Matthew 3:11-12)
What
did Christ Jesus COMMAND His disciples
Before
He ascended into Heaven? Listen:
'Do
not leave Jerusalem, but wait for the GIFT My Father promised,
Which
you have heard Me speak about.
For
John baptized [immersed] with water,
But
in a few days you will be baptized with the Holy Spirit.' (Acts
1:4-5)
What
did the disciples RECEIVE? Listen:
When
the Day of Pentecost came, they were all together in one place.
Suddenly
a sound like the blowing of a violent wind came from Heaven
And
filled the whole house where they were sitting.
They
saw what seemed to be TONGUES OF FIRE
That
separated and came to REST on each of them.
ALL
OF THEM were FILLED WITH THE HOLY SPIRIT
AND
BEGAN TO SPEAK IN OTHER TONGUES as the Spirit enabled them.
(Acts
2:1-4)
What
is our Hope of Glory or Heaven? Listen to the apostle Paul:
I
have become its servant [the
Church of Christ]
By
the Commission God gave me to present to you
The
Word of God IN ITS FULLNESS--
The
MYSTERY that has been kept HIDDEN for Ages and generations,
But
is now disclosed to the saints.
To
them [and to all who are
listening today]
God
has chosen to make known among the Gentiles
The
Glorious riches of this MYSTERY,
Which
is CHRIST IN YOU, THE HOPE OF GLORY. (Colossians 1:25-27)
What
is your Hope of Glory?
Christ
Jesus living in and through you by His Spirit;
His
Anointing alive in you; His Spirit alive in you;
Writing
upon your heart and put His law in you mind;
Leading
you into ALL TRUTH; telling you what is yet to come;
Being
CRUCIFIED with Christ to this wicked world
That
is the enemy of God (James 4:4)
The
apostle John summarizes our Faith this way:
We
know that anyone Born of God does not continue to SIN;
The
ONE Who was Born of God [Christ Jesus] keeps him safe,
And
the Evil One [Satan] does not touch him.
We
know that we are children of God,
And
that the Whole World is under the control of the Evil One [Satan].
We
know also that the Son of God has come and has given us
understanding,
So
that we may KNOW HIM Who is TRUE.
And
we are IN HIM Who is TRUE—even His Son Jesus Christ.
He
is the TRUE GOD and Eternal LIFE. (1 John 5:18-20)
Faith
in Jesus Christ is the most personal and intimate relationship
In
this natural life.
No one
else can give you LIFE;
That
is LIFE beyond the five senses; LIFE that is Holy and Perfect
As God
intended from the beginning;
As
Adam and Eve experienced in the Paradise before they sinned.
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!
