Thou shalt call his name JESUS: for he shall save his people from their sins.

Ye know that he was manifested to take away our sins—That we, being dead to sins, should live unto righteousness—He is able also to save them to the uttermost that come unto God by him.
He was wounded for our transgressions, he was bruised for our iniquities: the chastisement of our peace was upon him; and with his stripes we are healed. The L ORD hath laid on him the iniquity of us all—Thus it behoved Christ to suffer … that repentance and remission of sins should be preached in his name among all nations—He appeared to put away sin by the sacrifice of himself.

Him hath God exalted with his right hand to be a Prince and a Saviour … to give repentance—Through this man is preached unto you the forgiveness of sins: and by him all that believe are justified from all things, from which ye could not be justified by the law of Moses—Your sins are forgiven you for his name’s sake.
M ATT. 1:21; 1 J OHN 3:5—1 P ET. 2:24—HEB. 7:25; I SA. 53:5-6—L UKE 24:46-47—H EB. 9:26; A CTS 5:31—ACTS 13:38-39—1 J OHN 2:12

Salvation Is Permanent Part 5

rste104343 February 24, 2019 No Comments

Salvation is permanent because the eternal God does not give birth to illegitimate temporary children. Greeting my friend’s in the name of God our Father the Son and the Holy Spirit. I thank God For This Wonderful opportunity to share His word with His People and those who are not. Lord help me to encourage them all concerning the permanence of your gift.

“But as many as received him, to them gave he power to become the sons of God, even to them that believe on his name: Which were born, not of blood, nor of the will of the flesh, nor of the will of man, but of God” (John 1:12-13).

Jesus had an interesting encounter with a Pharisee by the name of Nicodemus. The first thing Jesus said to Him was, you must be born again. This truth caused Nicodemus to realize that this is an impossible suggestion. Humanly speaking once a person is born into this life he can’t be unborn. Just the same you can’t be born into the human race again. From the Human prospective this is true. However Jesus explained to Nicodemus that you can’t go to heaven unless you come from heaven. You were born on earth so you are earthly. In order for you to be heavenly you must be born from heaven. Amen. You must be born again of the spirit. In order for you to be born again you must believe in Jesus Christ, you must believe that He is the Son of God, that he died for your sin, and mine. When you believe in Jesus, the moment you believe God gives you a new spirit you are born again. Praise God. Not by man not by human will but by God, Amen. Alleluia Glory be to God in the highest.

Salvation is Permanent because of God. God want you to have eternal life, trust in Jesus today. Thank you my friends,

God Bless you

The Compelling Majesty Of His Power

The Compelling Majesty of His Power

https://fromtimetoeternity.com/the-compelling-majesty-of-his-power/

“The love of Christ compels us …” (2 Corinthians 5:14).

Paul said that he was overpowered, subdued, and held as in a vise by “the love of Christ.” Very few of us really know what it means to be held in the grip of the love of God. We tend so often to be controlled simply by our own experience. The one thing that gripped and held Paul, to the exclusion of everything else, was the love of God. “The love of Christ compels us … .” When you hear that coming from the life of a man or woman it is unmistakable. You will know that the Spirit of God is completely unhindered in that person’s life.

When we are born again by the Spirit of God, our testimony is based solely on what God has done for us, and rightly so. But that will change and be removed forever once you “receive power when the Holy Spirit has come upon you …” (Acts 1:8). Only then will you begin to realize what Jesus meant when He went on to say, “… you shall be witnesses to Me … .”

Not witnesses to what Jesus can do—that is basic and understood—but “witnesses to Me … .” We will accept everything that happens as if it were happening to Him, whether we receive praise or blame, persecution or reward. No one is able to take this stand for Jesus Christ who is not totally compelled by the majesty of His power. It is the only thing that matters, and yet it is strange that it’s the last thing we as Christian workers realize. Paul said that he was gripped by the love of God and that is why he acted as he did. People could perceive him as mad or sane—he did not care. There was only one thing he lived for—to persuade people of the coming judgment of God and to tell them of “the love of Christ.” This total surrender to “the love of Christ” is the only thing that will bear fruit in your life. And it will always leave the mark of God’s holiness and His power, never drawing attention to your personal holiness.

God Is God There Is No Other

April 25, 2018

God Is God There is no Other

Hello, my friends, grace, and peace to you in the name of God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ. I hope you are doing well. You’re always in my thoughts. God is good as you know, I have no complaints but I do have some concerns that I would like to share with you.

We live in a country that was founded on Christian values. The dominant culture in this country is Christian. Just as with other countries that have a dominant culture that regulates how its citizens coexist with one another, there are also subcultures that coexist with the dominant culture that share some of the same values, and not others. This is especially true in this country. In the United States, there are hundreds of subcultures.

https://fromtimetoeternity.com/god-is-god/

Each race is a subculture that shares the values of the dominant culture. The first amendment to the constitution of the United States protects religious freedom. The declaration of independence recognizes that people are created with unalienable rights, life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness. As I said before there are hundreds of subcultures in the United States. I just wanted to draw attention to the cultural divide that exists in this country to show how it correlates with the evil that has dominated the black community.

Here is the bottom line, God is God today, yesterday, and tomorrow. It doesn’t matter what your culture is God Is God. It doesn’t matter what your race is God is God. Now we can try to make sense of things and talk about things like slavery, murder, rapes, mutilations and other atrocities that happened to African Americans in the past. It may or may not help us to understand why as a people we are in the position we are in. However, it won’t change anything. God in His great wisdom has given us the instructions on just what to do. We call Him Lord but we don’t do what He told us to do. The subculture that African Americans have allowed to develop in our communities is gangs. Murder is something gangs have always done along with drug dealing, rape, robbery, you get the picture. Now the gangs kill five to, ten people at a time. People driving on the expressway get killed on their way to work. Little children playing in front of their homes get shot and killed. If that is not enough, entire families are being murdered by people in their own families.

The worst part about it is that we pretend not to know what to do. We must stop making up excuses. God gave instruction for parents to be wise and educate their children. God wants you to talk to your children or any young person that you influence. Cultural changes have a lot to do with our children and the moral values that have been instilled in them by their parents. Parents, you get these instructions from God. You cannot wait until your children become teenagers before you teach them. If you wait until they are teenagers you more than likely waited too long.

My son, if sinners entice thee, consent not. If they say, Come with us, let us lay wait for blood, let us lurk secretly for the innocent without cause; let us swallow them up alive as Sheol and whole, as those that go down into the pit; we shall find all precious substance, we shall fill our houses with spoil: cast in thy lot among us; we will all have one purse: —my son, walk not in the way with them, keep back thy foot from their path; for their feet run to evil, and they make haste to shed blood. For in vain the net is spread in the sight of anything which hath wings, and these lay wait, for their own blood, they lurk secretly for their own lives. So are the paths of every one that is greedy of gain: it taketh away the life of its possessors (Prov1:10-19) The wise parents in this passage, is attempting to warn their son about the company he keeps. They warn him not to let the gangs tempt him by their enticing. Young people always find something attractive about being with the crowd. Just like today, these parents knew the type of people that were trying to attract their children into joining them. They don’t believe in God, they don’t have any moral values, some of them are terrorist, looters, hijackers, and murderers. These parents warn their son not to get involved in such violent ways. The gang tells him how much money they can make and share from the same purse. But his parents in their wisdom, tells him that such wickedness will only lead to disaster (18-19). They know that these things will never yield all sorts of valuable things. It is their blood that will be forfeited, their own lives that will be waylaid (18). The enticement to follow the gang and take part in the violence and intimidation will not make them feel that he is a part of the whole, a sense of belonging, and happiness. In his adolescent mind, there will be only confusion and destructive behavior, and death. This is not what God wants for our children. God wants us to raise our children to be Godly Men and women. People that care about each other, people that love and respect God.

The eyes of the world are on our children. Satan shows our children their heart’s desire. Satan tells them, I will give you your heart desire if you will sell these drugs if you will commit this murder if you will rob these people. Only to find out that they have been fooled and the cost is high. As a people in this country, God has brought us a very long way, in a relatively short period of time, a little more than 150 years. God expects us to be obedient to His word. He has given it to us to live by and be successful in life. When we are obedient to God, He turns things around, Amen!

My friends are you disappointed in the way your lives turned out so far? Does it look like you can’t do any better? Do you feel as though you have let everyone down? Are you feeling sorry for yourself? Do you feel as if no one loves you, and nobody cares? This I can tell you God loves you. God loves you so much that He sent his Son to die for your sin and mine. The scripture said in John 3:16 “God so love the word that He gave His only begotten Son that whoever believes in Him should not perish but have everlasting life”, Amen. If you believe that Jesus Christ died for your sin and you ask God to forgive you based on Jesus. God will forgive you and cleanse you from all unrighteousness. God will give you the gift of eternal life, and He will help you put your life back together, and you will be better than you were before. If you have made up your mind to believe in Jesus and you don’t know what to do contact me, blog my post-https://fromtimetoeternity.com/ allow me to help you. To my friend who knows Christ concerning their salvation, I hope this message has encouraged you and has increased your understanding If so Let me know blog my post and subscribe, Join me lets get the word out about Jesus.

Christian Perfection

https://fromtimetoeternity.com/christian-perfection/

It is erroneous to presume that God wants to make us perfect specimens of what He can do. God’s purpose is to make us one with Himself. The holiness movement emphasizes that God is producing specimens of holiness to put in the museum. If this is the concept you accept for personal holiness, you are only interested what you call the evidence of God in your life, and your life determined purpose will not be for God. Can you really say “it can never be God’s will for me to sick? It was God’s will to bruise His own Son (Isaiah 53:10). Why shouldn’t He bruise you? What reveals God in your life is not your consistency to an idea of what a saint should be like, but your genuine personal relationship with Jesus Christ and your devotion to him whether you are sick or not.

Rainbow In The Clouds

rste104343

“I set My rainbow in the cloud, and it shall be for the sign of the covenant between Me and the earth” (Genesis 9:13).

It is the will of God that human beings should get into a right-standing relationship with Him, and His covenants are designed for this purpose. Why doesn’t God save me? He has accomplished and provided for my salvation, but I have not yet entered into a relationship with Him. Why doesn’t God do everything we ask? He has done it. The point is—will I step into that covenant relationship? All the great blessings of God are finished and complete, but they are not mine until I enter into a relationship with Him on the basis of His covenant.

Waiting for God to act is fleshly unbelief. It means that I have no faith in Him. I wait for Him to do something in me so I may trust in that. But God won’t do it, because that is not the basis of the God-and-man relationship. Man must go beyond the physical body and feelings in his covenant with God, just as God goes beyond Himself in reaching out with His covenant to man. It is a question of faith in God—a very rare thing. We only have faith in our feelings. I don’t believe God until He puts something tangible in my hand so that I know I have it. Then I say, “Now I believe.” There is no faith exhibited in that. God says, “Look to Me, and be saved …” (Isaiah 45:22).

When I have really transacted business with God on the basis of His covenant, letting everything else go, there is no sense of personal achievement—no human ingredient in it at all. Instead, there is a complete overwhelming sense of being brought into union with God, and my life is transformed and radiates peace and joy.

God Bless You

Precious Jewel

Precious Jewel
Dear Friends grace and peace to you in the name of God our Father, The Son, and The Holy Spirit. I thank God for you because He has chosen you for the task of reaching out to those who are unsaved. Lord, I ask that you help me to deliver to these your people that which they need in order for them to accomplish the task which lay before them, and also to those who do not know you concerning the pardoning of their sin, bless them today Lord, in Jesus Name Amen.
Luke 20:9-16
Brothers and sisters life is so precious, and so valuable, that the only one that is more precious and more valuable is God Himself. Of course, there are different levels of life, such as that of animals, and that of plants. There is conscious life and unconscious life. The life that I am speaking of is conscious human life created in the image of God.
This life is so precious it reminds me of treasure hidden in the field when a man found it, he hid it again, and then in his joy went and sold all that he had and bought the hold field (Matt 13:44-46). In the parable above in the book of Luke, a man planted a vineyard and he leased it out to others and when it was time for him to collect from his renters they refuse to pay. The landowner sent bill collectors to collect from his renters and they were beaten and some killed and yet they still refused to pay the landowner what was rightfully his. The Landowner was convinced that if he sent his son the renters would respect him and pay what they owe, but they killed him too. The landowner will seek retribution and take the land away from them and give it to someone else.
God created the heavens and the earth and everything in them. All the stars in the universe, every galaxy, everything seen and unseen, every power everything excluding nothing except evil. God created man to worship Him, and to live with Him forever. God will only accept our worship through His Son Jesus Christ. We as in the human race rejected God, Killed His prophets and finally His Son, rather than submitting ourselves to God by believing in his Son Jesus Christ, which is the only way provided by God that a man or woman can receive eternal life, we killed Him. But God in His great mercy and wisdom received the death of His Son as payment for our life If we place our trust in Him.
Life is the precious Jewel, second only to God who is the giver and sustainer thereof. Without Life, nothing else matters. If you Choose to place your trust in Jesus for your salvation, God will give you life abundantly. Thank you, Lord, for your guidance. If this message has helped you Let me know.
If you have changed your mind about Jesus Praise God. Let’s rejoice together,

JESUS IS THE Christ

Jesus Is The Christ

Introduction

Greetings Brothers and Sisters grace and peace to you in the name of God our Father and His Son and the Holy Spirit. If I had the opportunity to preach to all under heaven, Jesus would be my sermon. It is the message that makes the messenger, Amen !. Jesus is the message. Lord God help me at this time to share your word concerning the preeminence of Christ. Bless the hearts of all who read this message and for those who don’t know Jesus, open their hearts and the eyes of their understanding so that they may learn of Him who gave His life, thank you Lord in Jesus name I pray Amen. Read more

He is the image of the invisible God, the firstborn of every creature: For by him were all things created, that are in heaven, and that are in earth, visible and invisible, whether they be thrones, or dominions, or principalities, or powers: all things were created by him, and for him: ( Col 1:15,16).

Creator

Jesus is the visible representation of the invisible God. When we get dressed in the morning and we groom ourselves, we look in the mirror at our image. The image we see is a reflected image. This is not so with Jesus, He is not a reflected image. He is the image, Jesus told Phillip, Have I been with you so long, and yet you do not know, He who has seen me has seen the Father. Jesus is the exact visible and physical representation of God. If you could see the Father He would look just like Jesus. He created all things, everything came into being through Him. Without Him, nothing exists that didn’t come into existence through Him. Everything in heaven and everything on earth and everything in the vast universe, everything visible and everything invisible. He caused everything to come into existence, Nothing caused Him to exist. He is the uncaused cause that caused all things to come into being. All things were created by Him for Him, Amen!

And He is before all things, and in Him, all things consist.

Christ Has always existed, there was never a time in eternity past that Christ did not exist. When there was nothing made in eternity past, visible or invisible there is Christ. Before He made anything He Is, I Am. He holds everything together by His great power. Look at the universe, it is by intelligent design. Everything in the universe works exactly the way God designed it. The milky way Galaxy operates exactly and with precision the way God designed it. The earth is position exactly the right distance from the sun to sustain all life on earth. This is not by chance, Christ is almighty God, and He sustains all life on earth by the divine power of His might. Could you imagine what would happen If Christ wasn’t sustaining the orbit of the earth? I don’t want to think about it.

And He is the head of the body, the church, who is the beginning, the firstborn from the dead, that in all things He may have the preeminence(Col 1:18).

In eternity past God decided that to save the human race He would send His Son, Born of a woman born under the law to redeem those who were sold by sin. Jesus the Son of God refused to use His power to save Himself. He remained obedient and took on the humiliation, and shameful death on the cross. God exerted great power and raised Him from the dead. Because of his selfless act of love for all humanity, God exalted Him Jesus the God-man, above all creation, the firstborn from among the dead. And gave Him a name above every name. That at the name of Jesus every knee shall bow that which is in heaven, that which is on earth and that which is under the earth. Jesus is preeminent, the first person to be raised from the dead, unto eternal life to never die again. He is the Head of the Church which is His body. He is the Head of the New world order. Until Christ comes back we all must enter into eternity the same way.

For it pleased the Father that in Him all the fullness should dwell, ( Col 1:19).

It pleased God that all of the divine nature the majesty, power, and the goodness of God should be manifested in the man-God Christ Jesus, Amen. and by Him to reconcile all things to Himself, by Him, whether things on earth or things in heaven, having made peace through the blood of His cross(Col 1:20). Through Jesus God provided a way to reconcile the relationship between God and man. A relationship that was in a state of enmity, a relationship that was in full rebellion against God. Through the blood of Christ God provided a way for humanity to be at peace with God. God could have destroyed us all and yet because He loves us so much he sent His Son to save us.

²¹And you, who once were alienated and enemies in your mind by wicked works, yet now He has reconciled ²²in the body of His flesh through death, to present you holy, and blameless, and above reproach in His sight( Col 1:21,22).

We were all alienated from God, we were all enemies of God. We didn’t think anything of God, we didn’t respect God, we didn’t love God, we didn’t know God. In our minds, we only had evil thoughts and works continually all the time. But God has reconciled us in the body of His Sons’, flesh through His death, to present you and me holy, and blameless, In His sight. When God sees us, it is not us that He see, It is Christ. Because of what Jesus did for us on the cross, God forgives us when we place our trust in Him. Do you trust Jesus? It is only by faith in Christ that you can receive Gods’ forgiveness and the gift of eternal life. All you have to do is believe in Jesus and the work that He has done. God bless you, friends.

“What Is That to You?”

“Peter … said to Jesus, ‘But Lord, what about this man?’ Jesus said to him, ‘… what is that to you? You follow Me’ ” (John 21:21–22).

One of the hardest lessons to learn comes from our stubborn refusal to refrain from interfering in other people’s lives. It takes a long time to realize the danger of being an amateur providence, that is, interfering with God’s plan for others. You see someone suffering and say, “He will not suffer, and I will make sure that he doesn’t.” You put your hand right in front of God’s permissive will to stop it, and then God says, “What is that to you?” Is there stagnation in your spiritual life? Don’t allow it to continue, but get into God’s presence and find out the reason for it. You will possibly find it is because you have been interfering in the life of another—proposing things you had no right to propose, or advising when you had no right to advise. When you do have to give advice to another person, God will advise through you with the direct understanding of His Spirit. Your part is to maintain the right relationship with God so that His discernment can come through you continually for the purpose of blessing someone else.

Most of us live only within the level of consciousness—consciously serving and consciously devoted to God. This shows immaturity and the fact that we’re not yet living the real Christian life. Maturity is produced in the life of a child of God on the unconscious level, until we become so totally surrendered to God that we are not even aware of being used by Him. When we are consciously aware of being used as broken bread and poured-out wine, we have yet another level to reach—a level where all awareness of ourselves and of what God is doing through us is completely eliminated. A saint is never consciously a saint—a saint is consciously dependent on God.
