Aware of the work of the enemy

The enemy's work began in Genesis 3:1, "Yea, hath God said...?" All attacks begin at this premise.

If the enemy can't get you to question whether God has said something or not, or just exactly what God has said...or to not believe what God has said...he will change what God has said.

And he has many willing workers today doing just that.

Let me give an example of how Saints fold under the enemy's working...some say, "God understands. He won't mind if I get angry, get a divorce, take it out on the one who hurt me." All this is based on incorrect feelings, and denying God's Words.                                                                    God has said, "Be ye angry, and sin not: let not the sun go down upon your wrath: Neither give place to the devil." (Ephesians 4:26-27).                                                                                               And God has said, "What therefore God hath joined together, let not man put asunder." (Matthew 19:3-12).                                                                                                                                         And God has said, "Then came Peter to him, and said, Lord, how oft shall my brother sin against me, and I forgive him? till seven times? Jesus saith unto him, I say not unto thee, Until seven times: but, Until seventy times seven." (Matthew 18:21-22).

All of this is why it is so important for Saints to always be functioning in the Supernatural Spiritual Mind of God that we possess (1 Corinthians 2:16). Jesus told us that explicitly in Matthew chapter 13. In fact, Jesus was speaking then of our hearing from God, reading what God has given in His Word, all of the parabolic teaching in the Holy Scriptures. Only Saints in the Mind of God can know and understand what God has said.

The tragedy is that too many Saints don't know they have the Mind of God, or choose to function in the devilish old mind (natural mind, carnal mind - Romans 8:6-7) still present in Saints.

Enjoying God's Grace

The Grace of God is entirely, wholly, God's Work. All of Him, none of me.

"Lord, I receive Your Grace working in me to _________________."

Living Truth

 

It’s one thing to read about Truth, hear about Truth, think about Truth, even report about Truth…it is quite another to Live Truth. Are you Living Truth? Or, are you trying to live Truth in the flesh?

God's order of believing and Faith

God's Truth ... we believe God ... God gifts His Faith. This is God's order.

Scriptural Faith - being a gift from God (Romans 12:3), fruit of Holy Spirit (Galatians 5:22), CAN NEVER FAIL. It is impossible to separate God and His Faith. Failure in our life only comes from our not believing God.

We do not need to "get more faith" as if it is some effort we make, etc. We just need to "believe God." Then He gifts us with His Faith.

God gives us His Faith to solidify our believing/make certain, remove any unbelieving of a particular believing. We first believe God, then His Faith makes certain we never fail to "believe." That is the gift/fruit of God Himself/His Faith.

Just remember, anytime we are reading Scripture and we see the word "faith," it should remind us that this is God, God's Faith, a gift of God Himself for our Life in Him.

Victorious LIFE as a Saint

 

     A victorious Life as a Saint must begin with knowing more Truth other than just the forgiveness of sins. We must know His LIFE has been exchanged for our old life. This Truth can only come through Divine revelation. This Truth can only come from the Lord Himself.

     Scriptural facts can be known by anyone. Scriptural Truth can be known only by Saints. This is the parabolism of the entire Holy Scriptures. We must know Scriptural Truths to enjoy a victorious LIFE as a Saint.

     And finally, it is when the Scriptural Truths become His LIFE Lived through our earthsuit that we enjoy the victorious LIFE as a Saint.

     It is when the written Word of God becomes the Living Word to us. It comes through the Holy Soul, a Spiritual wisdom and revelation through the knowledge of Christ. This is known as “God talks us into it.” Once we have Seen Truth (been talked into it by God through Divine revelation), no person can talk us out of it. It IS ours! We ae assured of His blessed Truth.

     With more Divine revelation, Saints can turn to more praises and less prayers asking for what we already have! It is like a Spiritual awakening to what we already possess.

     However, many function with a form of Spiritual blindness…which can be only by 2 reasons: (1) lack of Divine revelation, (2) lack of believing and receiving the Divine Truth (not receiving the Divine revelation).

     Read and study the Holy Scriptures looking for God to give you Spiritual Truth through Divine revelation. Then trust God to activate His LIFE of Truth in your earthsuit. We rest in His promise to LIVE His Truth through us. No stress, no strain, no struggling. He does all the work.

     Well, amen.

Legalistic Saints and self-appointed fruit inspectors

 

Legalistic Saints are the most self-focused, self-centered, self-expressing people on the face of this planet. Sadly, it is not so much that they are trying to be good Christians… it is that they have to be. All the rest of the legalistic Saints are self-appointed fruit inspectors checking for the fruit in each other!

The favorite verses of legalistic Saints are Matthew 7:16 10, Ye shall know them by their fruits… Two verses that have nothing to do with Saints, but are speaking of false prophets.

Ask any fruit inspector what fruit they are looking for, and they typically say, Well, you know. If they name any, it will be some works they say the Scriptures tells us to do. But here is the kicker: not one mention of Galatians 5:22-23, where God tells us explicitly what fruit of the Holy Spirit is.

Beware of legalistic Saints and self-appointed fruit inspectors.
