Dare To Believe



   When Jesus was born, His mind was empty of all spiritual knowledge the same as any other man. Though He was GOD'S Son (having God the Father's Blood [sinless, pure and holy]), He wasn't given any special knowledge or favoritism in His ability to learn about and know God. He was just like you and me.

   Jesus was the 'Pioneer' for everyone, on how to seek the Father and know Him intimately. That process is available to every believer. 
   He learned how to discern God's speaking through nature, and through life's circumstances. He perceived God's wisdom (Omniscience), protection (Omnipotence) and  presence (Omnipresence).
   Jesus learned about God early on from being taught to pray. He had to learn God loved all men including Him, and that God was His Father, not Joseph.
   He learned to realize that God was infinite (unlimited) and that man was finite (limited).

   However in Jesus' youth, He became aware of the most glorious revelation anyone can know, "With God ALL things (Supernatural) are possible."   Jesus was despised for saying "He and the Father were ONE."  That revelation came as Jesus communed with God as a youth.   
   Now all who ask Jesus in their heart become One with God (Jesus is God). "As He (Jesus) is, SO ARE WE in this world." Jesus has given to all true believers, power OVER ALL the power of the enemy and nothing shall by any means harm you."

   "May this mind be in you which was also in Christ Jesus." God desires we arise in newness of life and NEW understanding of the Power and Authority we now possess in Christ Jesus. For you see Jesus has been given ALL Power and Authority both in Heaven and on Earth. Where Jesus goes so does His Power. AND HE IS IN EVERY BELIEVER whether they feel Him or not.

   2 Cor. 5:17 "If any man be IN Christ, He IS A NEW CREATION-[Holy, Pure, Completely made Perfect-in God's eyes.] Old things (sin, sinful habits, wrong desires, bad attitudes, etc.) are passed away. BEHOLD, (Take a look and see) ALL THINGS ARE BECOME NEW."  Acknowledge what God says, sins power over you is broken (Romans 6:1-12)
   
   When I was about seven, this thought entered my mind, "I'm a King and I was sent to earth to Become a King." I didn't understand it then but God's Word says in revelation 1:5-6 "..Jesus..washed us from our sins in His own blood and HAS MADE US Kings and Priests unto God.."

   It's time for us to realize who we are IN CHRIST,and just Who He is in us. 
   Jesus said, "The things I do shall you do also and greater things than these shall you do." DARE TO BELIEVE HIM because He IS the "Truth of God."

With God It's Possible.




                                Perfection

   1 Thessalonians 5:23 "And the very God of peace sanctify you WHOLLY (Completely) and I pray your whole spirit, soul and body be preserved (on earth) blameless unto the coming of our Lord Jesus."
   Ephesians 5:27 "..that He might present her to Himself, a Glorious church, not having spot or wrinkle or any such thing, but that she should be holy and without blemish."
   "Having our mind purged from an evil conscience." 
   "Be ye holy even as I AM."
   "Be ye perfect even as I AM."

   Read 1 Peter 1:13-23
The 10 wise virgins are those who obey God. We can learn how to "Bring every thought into captivity unto believing in Christ's obedience working in us." 

   Jude vs. 24 "Now to Him (God by His Spirit) that is able to keep you from falling (Sinning) and to present you faultless (Righteous and Holy) before His presence.."
   
His Word says "He will complete that which He began in you."

   But the good news is God has already (in His eyes) completed His work in us who believe. On the cross, Jesus said "It is finished." 
And 2 Cor. 5:17 says "If any man be IN Christ, HE IS a NEW Creation, Old things are passed away. Behold, ALL things are (Already) become (Made) new (in you)."

   Hebrews 10:14 "For by one offering, He HAS PERFECTED FOREVER them that are(Already) sanctified."

The Great Exchange


                                The Great Exchange

   Have you ever said, "I just have a gut feeling" about something. 
Well, it was a real impulse from your spirit because the Bible equates the 'Heart' of a man to his bowels.
   God's Word says "Bowels of tender mercy," and "Out of your belly (bowels) will flow rivers of Living Water." It does not say "Out of your heart."
  Jeremiah 4:19 "My bowels, my bowels! I am pained at my very heart..."
   Philippians 1:8 "For God is my record, how greatly I long after you all in the bowels (heart) of Jesus Christ."

   Why does God refer to the bowels as the place of compassion, affection and tender mercy as well as the place from which "flow rivers of Living Water?"

   Because its in the bowels, the small and large intestines where the "Life Exchange" takes place. The life giving properties of food are extracted and assimilated into our bodies in the bowels; here food is made usable to enter into the blood and the flesh of the body.

   Our heart is a muscle that pumps blood throughout our body but gets its food from the blood via the intestines.

   Jesus had "Bowels of Compassion" (pity and caring) for the "lost-sheep without a shepherd."
Colossians 3:12 "Put on therefore, as the elect of God, holy and beloved, bowels of mercies, (tender hearted pity and kindness)."

   Just as we eat food to live physically, we must take in, ingest, and partake of God's words to feed our born again "Spirit man." (Those who have accepted Jesus Christ as their Savior.)
   For Jesus said, "My Words, they are Spirit and they are Life. They are LIFE to all those that find them and Health to all their flesh."   
   
    Once one accepts Jesus as Savior, NEVER starve your Spirit. Just as a baby needs constant feeding, so does your Spirit on the "Milk of the Word" until you can eat the "Meat of the Word."

    The wonderful thing about the Word is it feeds your Spirit man but ALSO is "Health to ALL your flesh."

   "He sent His Word and Healed them."

   For vibrant continued health, read some scripture every day. Don't go 6 days a week without Spirit food. You wouldn't starve your baby or child for six days then feed them them on Sunday only. So don't do the same to your Spirit.. You pray earnestly when crisis comes, every day till you receive God's answer; so get in the habit of praying EVERY day and reading your Bible EVERY day.

The Curse and the Blessing



                        The Curse and the Blessing

   When Adam sinned in the garden of Eden, mankind was cursed and the whole earth became cursed also. 
Death came in. Now all living things would grow old and someday die. 
   Adam brought the curse, but Jesus broke the curse for all mankind who would simply believe in Him. 
   Jesus is "The Door" to all God's blessings. Accept Him as your Savior and death, hell, sin, the grave and the curse are forever BROKEN off your life. 

   Does that mean we won't grow old and die and never sin again? 
Actually yes and no. We'll still die but God guarantees the believer "A Long Life" along with His Covenant promise of Eternal Life with Him forever. 

   He promises to heal ALL your sicknesses and diseases AND deliver you from ALL your afflictions, as well as deliver you from the hand of your enemies and ALL them who hate you."
   He will give you HIS PEACE, His power to heal others, His knowledge, will and understanding. 
                             His blessings include,
"Power over ALL the power of your enemies, Nothing shall by ANY means hurt you, Not a hair of your head will perish, God is for you, with you and in you and No enemy can stand against you and win." (Joshua 1: 5, 9)

   Why? Because God says "You are more than an over comer. NO weapon formed against you can prosper." You now are GOD'S CHILD. He's the best Father, the best provider and protector on earth. He gives you His power to love, to give, to heal, and to bless
others. 
   All, while you learn "Sin's power over you HAS BEEN BROKEN. (Romans 6:10-11).
   God sees ALL our sins GONE, removed on the cross by Jesus who "Became sin Who did no sin, that we might become the Righteousness of God (through Faith) in Him." 
   Our Spirit man is now Holy, but our mind must "Be renewed" to SEE that sin's power IS broken. Our mind is renewed and our body is subdued, as we become more like Jesus every day. The power of God's Word "Changes us from image to image and glory to glory" by the "Washing of the water of the word" as we meditate on God's Word.
   Now when we err, and trespass (sin), we are to confess we did, by old habits and wrong desires and God says "All your sins are paid for by My Son's blood sacrifice for you. You are forgiven My Son, My Daughter. Now you don't have to obey your mind or your bodies impulses. You are free to worship Me and enter My kingdom I have prepared for you."
   
   Now all that a believer touches is blessed. God says, He will prosper and be in health as his soul prospers (studying and meditating in God's Word.) 

   The Curse has been broken for all believers, now God's hand of blessing is on all who believe in Jesus. 

   In one village in South America, all but one villager got saved. Before salvation came, they were in dire poverty, many were sick and their jail was full. AFTER salvation came, their jail was emptied,  ALL their sick were healed and their crops were blessed with epic abundance. 

   In New Zealand, one coastal city all accepted Christ and not only did they prosper in every area but even the dead sea coral came back to life. God's presence blessed their land and their water.

What Are You Going Through? Part 2



                       What Are You Going Through?  Part 2

   God's will is for all believers in Christ to prosper (in all areas) and be in health. 
That means to not be weak, timid, fearful, or doubting. "A double minded man is unstable in all his ways. Don't let him think he'll receive anything from the Lord."
   We must "Believe that He is (God) and that He is a rewarder of them that diligently seek Him."

   The Word says, "Let the weak SAY "I AM STRONG."
God does not regard begging. He does honor Faith in Him. His Word says, "BE STRONG in the Lord and in the power of His might." 
   That means our faith is strengthened as we feed on God's Word, meditate on it and then act on His Word.
   The more we eat, drink, and absorb the Word, the stronger we become in faith believing. "Faith comes by hearing and hearing by the Word of God."  
   The more we do, the more we see God's perfect love in us casting out ALL fear (1 Tim. 1:7).

   The devil's going to try to wear out the saints with fear after fearful news. But those who remain strong and unmovable will endure. These are the last days before Jesus returns. 
   God wants you "Strong IN Jesus," "Strong in Faith," "Strong in Hope,"  "Strong in His Love for others." 
       

New Level of Faith Part 1


                               New Level of Faith  Part 1

   It takes a lot of faith to parachute out of an airplane for the first time. A lot of people would like to do it and even think they have the courage but find it over whelming when faced with the actual challenge.
   Today it only takes about an hour or two of training to make a jump. When I started in 1969 it took days. After about a week of training, still I wasn't 100% sure I could leave the aircraft. But on jump run a girl student jumped before me and I said to myself, "If a girl can do it, so can I."

   On scale of one to ten, it felt like the fear factor was 100.
My whole life was about to hang on the correct functioning of a few yards of nylon cloth. However once the chute was open the fear drained away and the euphoria of the moment, that I had conquered my fear and was floating quietly down was awesome. 

   Back then surplus converted military parachutes were being used.
They were heavy, about 35 to 40 pounds and they were quite uncomfortable. Today all that gear weighs about 15 to 20 pounds and is very comfortable.

   Also we had the emergency chute  mounted on the front where we could see and touch it at all times. I made about a 100 jumps with the reserve chute on front and even deployed it in an emergency. So it gave me a great feeling of confidence until one day; new sport harness and containers became "Piggyback" rigs.

   The reserve chute now was placed on the top of the back pack. 
I remember the first time I jumped this new rig. 
   All of a sudden I realized as I exited the airplane, THERE WAS NO EMERGENCY CHUTE in front of me. It was frightening. My familiar security was gone. I realized it was taking a whole NEW LEVEL of faith to continue jumping. However the advantages became wonderfully evident and led to some marvelous experiences during my 2000+ jumps.

   I'm finding in my "Leap of Faith Into Eternity" trusting my body, mind and soul to my Creator, Jesus Christ (John 1:1-3) that  there are NEW LEVELS of faith. All the "Working for" has been replaced with "Trusting In" Jesus as never before. 
   I hope you can grasp this, but God's Faith requires us to "Step out in Faith" in new ways. Peter had to step out of the boat and trust in Jesus as never before and walk on water.  

    Our faith is perfect and complete from God in our heart but we grow in KNOWLEDGE of it as Ephesians chapter one tells us.
