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 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.
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
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.
I am not trying
to change Christianity. God forbid. But, the Truth of Christianity has brought
changes to this earthsuit. Just as He did in 1980, and He continues to reveal
Himself.
I would rather
talk WITH people about Truth than to talk TO them about Truth.
It is one of the most overlooked fundamental Christian Truths that a Saint has 3 minds to deal with. One is the physical mind that all beings are physically born with (in our earthsuit). It thinks about the physical things of this earth...nothing spiritual.
However, all beings are physically born with a spiritual nature and spiritual soul (small "s" in both cases, for the spirituality of the curse of mankind after the Fall of Adam & Eve). The spiritual soul possesses a spiritual mind along with a spiritual set of emotions and a spiritual will. The "sum" of the actions of these there compose the spiritual heart of fallen man.
When a sinner is Born Again, a 3rd mind enters the picture. The new creation gets an additional Soul (capital "S" for the Spirituality of the new creation at the new birth) with the Mind of God, the Emotional Set of God, the Will of God, with the "sum" being the Heart of God.
Where we do not think of
the parts of the earthsuit that are eternal
as truthfully being a spiritual
entity, we miss the impact of the 2 trees
from the Garden of Eden upon our days.
Ex: Again and again, God
refers to the natural or carnal mind
in opposition (enmity) with the Mind of
God. These are both "spiritual" minds.
Q – when a person dies
the physical (earthsuit) death, do they quit thinking? No. The spiritual life is eternal (either in
Heaven or hell). No one gets a “new physical brain” when they physically die…the spiritual mind lives on in the person’s
new suit in their new location, in whatever spiritual status they are then.
When Saints begin to
think and speak Spiritual instead of physical or out of the residue spiritual, we might be able to communicate
the Spiritual things we want sinners
to hear.
p.s. and to muddle the water a little more, we must consider the "2 part" of the natural mind...the knowledge of "good" and "evil."
That gives us a lot to think about, doesn't it?!? (just keep up with what mind you are in!)
