Choices

As I was meditating on the last two blogs I wrote, Holy Spirit showed me that there are some that said while reading them, "son of God?, immunity?, what is this all about?"

There is that lie from Satan that has been floating through the Christian world and the world at large that "Jesus is not the only way to God, that is just too single minded to believe."  Another lie from Satan is "God loves you so much, you really do not need to always obey the bible, just ask God to forgive you."  Have you heard those lies?  If you have not heard these lies before, believe me I have heard them and Satan has lied to many Christians and caused them to miss out on that abundant life Jesus came to give us.

God does love us so much.  The proof of his love was in sending Jesus to redeem mankind from an eternity of damnation; (John 3:16)  and those lies stated above sounds to me like a different version of the lie he told Eve.  "You will not surely die if you eat from that tree..."( read Genesis 3rd chapter)

The lies that Satan tells people sometimes may include a part of a scripture or it may just sound good , so to a new Christian it can "sound" like the truth."  Remember the word tells us that Satan comes like an angel of light!  But in reality, whatever he says is a lie.  When you hear someone teaching God's word and conviction comes to your heart  (not condemnation) for you to make changes in your life, then you hear that other voice contradicting what God is talking to you about; you best believe that the second voice you heard is Satan trying to steal the truth from you, to kill your effectiveness in the Kingdom of God, and to destroy any hope of your maturing in your walk with the Lord if you reject God's correction.  (Read John 10:10)

Now to get to our choices!  In order to walk as sons of God, we have to absolutely be sold out to God's Will.  You think you are totally sold out to God?  Let's take this test.  Remember what I just told you above once you get convicted.  Listen for the voices that will oppose God's loving correction in this test.

This TEST is to see if we are sold out to God, and walking as sons of God: (please read the blog on "The sons of God")

• Do you tithe?    Y  N
• Do you sow/give offerings?    Y   N
• Do you praise, worship & thank God the Father & Son daily?   Y   N
• Do you pray/communicate daily with the Lord and listen for the Lord's instruction?   Y    N
• Do you read God's word/bible daily?    Y   N
• Do you attend a service where God's word is taught daily or each week?   Y   N
• Do you ask God daily & perform what God wants you to do the bring him pleasure?   Y   N
• Do you know your purpose for being? Y   N
• Do you have your hands out and lifted up in surrender to God when you need something?   Y   N
• Do you depend on God for everything?  Y   N

Conclusion:  If you answered "N" to any question, you are not living as a son of God.  Why?  Because we as people of God are to have no other god before him, we are to love God with all of our heart soul and might, God should be the complete center of our lives.  Again, please read my blog on "The sons of God" to help get a clear picture and understanding.  If you have received Jesus as Lord and Saviour you are most definitely a child of God, and you have an eternity with him. 

What I am urging you to see, is that God's desire is for us to move past being a child, and maturing to be his son manifested in this world to bring heaven down here to earth.  That was part of Jesus' prayer when he was teaching his disciples how to pray, "They kingdom come, Thy will be done on earth AS IT IS IN heaven."  Many Christians do not really believe everything Jesus said.  If Jesus is praying this prayer, then it is possible for heaven' will to come to earth.  Jesus does not lie!  So who is lying?  Satan, that's who!  He is telling us that, "There is no way God's will can be done here on earth, look at the condition of this world."

WHO'S REPORT WILL YOU BELIEVE?  I will believe the report of the LORD!

What does this really mean to us?  Do we believe that God's will can happen here on earth?  If you do not, it is because you have been listening and believing Satan's lies.

But we are not to look at things that we see, we walk by faith, not by sight and call things that be not as though they were, and then once we are walking by faith in God and his word, yes Jesus' prayer can become a reality here on earth.  Do you realize the power we have and if every Christian walked in obedience what this world could be?

Is Satan lying to you right now about what you have read so far?  If you have any opposition, it is your soul and flesh teaming up with Satan's lies to reject the truth.  Everything stated above is backed by scripture, God's word, not this bloggers' word.  Let's review: (Scriptures below are King James Version and are not a total sum of biblical references to the statements made in this blog.)

John 10:10 (Satan's roll)
Matthew 6:1-13 (Jesus on giving & how to pray)
John 8:44 ( Satan is a liar-don't believe him)
John 1:12 along with Romans 8:14 & 8:19 (character of the sons of God)
Hebrews 12:6-8 (receive the chastening of the Lord as sons)
Malachi 3:8-14 (tithes & offerings)
Revelation 4:11 (everything made for God's pleasure)

NOW DO YOUR RESEARCH, & SEARCH THE SCRIPTURES!

It is never my desire to lead anyone away from the Father, but to get you to run to him in repentance.  I am not debating God's way.  God can prove his own word.  Please let God's Word, and his Spirit speak to your heart. 

My plea to you is for you to read Romans the 8th chapter.  It is powerful once we open our eye's and to see the truth.  Focus especially on verses 1-19 talking about being children of God and sons of God.

Well until next time, remember that we are ambassadors for Christ.  2 Corinthians 5:20

IMMUNITY

Dear Reader,

In my quiet time with the Lord recently, Holy Spirit spoke these words to me, "You have Blood Bought Immunity."  As I was pondering the saying in my heart, he gave me examples of how in countries around the world, agents representing their government in another country enjoy something called "Diplomatic Immunity", and below is a definition:

Diplomatic immunity is a form of legal immunity and a policy held between governments that ensures that diplomats are given safe passage and are considered not susceptible to lawsuit or prosecution under the host country's laws, although they can still be expelled.

Immediately, I got it!  As I was continuing in meditation of what was happening to me, Holy Spirit spoke again and said, "Your Blood Bought Immunity can never be revoked."

It was like a flood of peace came upon me, visions of all what Jesus did for us on the cross to afford us the privilege of representing the Kingdom of God here on earth in this world government and not being touched by Satan and his influences.  Yes, I mean we are not subject to the death and destruction Satan hands out to unsuspecting people around the world, "because it's just the way it is, it's life."   It' is not our life.  God did not send Jesus to die for our sins so that we can just fade in the background and blend in with the world.  We are the light, the salt!

Not only can our immunity never be taken from us, this world system (the kingdom of darkness) cannot expel us as in government diplomatic immunity.  In other words, once we realize who we are in Christ Jesus, the King of kings and Lord of lords we are untouchable through his shed Blood.  The laws of sin and death no longer have power over those of us who are blood bought.  Satan can not cover us up with darkness.

Now, you really have to stop and think about this seriously and the impact this has on your life.  You have to understand and believe the power we possess by the Blood of Jesus.  His blood wasn't just drops coming out of his body because of the beatings, whippings, piercing and all the other things which were done to his body.

No, this Blood was and is much more powerful that any other power that has ever been or ever will be throughout eternity!  Satan had nor does he have an answer to the Blood of Jesus.  Jesus made a show of Satan openly and took back the power he once had when Adam handed it over to him in the beginning.

Jesus totally defeated Satan and his kingdom so that now we no longer are subject to this world's ways.  We only walk in God's ways now, if you have asked Jesus into your heart and accepted God's plan of salvation.  Call upon the Name of the Lord Jesus if you have not already done so.  Repent, and truly become a new creature in Christ.

We have Blood Bought Immunity which can never be revoked.  We cannot be put out or expelled because the owner of this earth is God.  The earth is his and the fullness thereof...!  God has turned the earth over to us and given us the power and authority through Jesus to subdue it, replenish it and have dominion over everything the creeps upon the earth.

What creeps?  I am not talking about animals, bugs, birds and the such like.  I am talking about the spiritual ones who creep upon the earth.  The one who comes to steal, kill and destroy.  YES, we have power over Satan and all his helpers to subdue them.  WARNING!  You can be your own worst enemy and that is what Satan hopes.  Just like he deceived Eve, and got her and Adam into disobeying God, he will try to keep us in sin and rebellion against God.  If you find yourself in this state, repent, confess your sins and turn and begin to obey God's word right now!  (1 JOHN 1:9)  Satan cannot revoke your immunity, but you can step out from the covering of the  Blood of Jesus which will make you susceptible to the enemies fiery darts.

We begin every day on a level of victory and triumph!  We have already won and overcome by the Blood of the Lamb and the word of our testimony that we are redeemed by the Blood of Jesus Christ and Him Crucified.  If you are not experiencing victory is every area of your life, then you have to look at what you are doing and ask Holy Spirit to help you.  We have to take a hard look and be tough on ourselves to break free from sin.  We can no longer continue to be conformed to this world and it's ways.  Victory is ours.  Jesus came to give life and more abundantly.  Yes for eternity, and also for while we are occupying this earth.

I am getting happy all over again as I am writing.  You and I have BLOOD BOUGHT IMMUNITY, and that is awesome.  God wants us to know who we are in Christ, and what power we have as blood bought Kingdom of God citizens.  We are not of this world.  We are citizens of the Kingdom of God!

The sons of God

Dear Friends,

I took some time off from blogging since July of this year because there have been some amazing things that God has been showing me, training me in, correcting me on and informing me of as of late.

I am so excited to share with you who truly are followers of Christ what Jehovah, the I AM that I AM has been sharing with my by his Spirit.

Jesus Christ and Him Crucified is so much more deeper than I could ever imagine when I first learned of the power we have in the resurrected Christ.

We begin as born again children of God through Jesus, then we are followers of Jesus, to disciples of Jesus, and then to servants of Jesus, to ministers of Jesus, but we cannot stop there.

We can become and have a right to be sons of God by being led by the Spirit of God.  In John 1:12, we were given power to "BECOME" sons of God, but what the Father has shown me (and is quite clear in scripture), that in order to "BECOME" sons of God, we MUST be led by the Spirit of God.  See Romans 8:14

In the past, I would read in the book of Job (Job 1:6 & 2:1) about how the sons of God would come to present themselves before God and I in my ignorance, I would speculate that the sons of God were the men of old who the bible speak of and are now gone on to heaven.  But, I never considered that those of us here and alive would be considered the sons of God.  How could we be?  We do not have our new bodies, we are not perfect, so how could we present ourselves before God as his sons?

Then, God opened my eyes to what he describes as sons of God, and told me to put away my definition.  At first it took a little time for me to understand that this privilege is mine if I will allow his Spirit to lead my life.  What I do, what I say, where I go, and so on!

Clearly this is part of our heritage in Christ Jesus to obtain.  Clearly many Christians are not walking as sons of God and this a reason (not the sum total) why many Christians live less than the abundant life Jesus gave himself for us to have on earth.  John 10:10

If we do not allow God the Spirit to lead us, then we are not sons of God.  Oh yes, we are still children of God if indeed we have received Jesus as our Lord and Saviour.  that is not the issue at hand. 

This session is looking into becoming sons of God and what that means by God's definition.  If not sons of God, then how can we present ourselves before him!  There has to be something special God wants for us and from us in this presentation, or he would no have put this in his word.  Dare we discover what a son of God does in presenting themselves before God?  Dare we?  I say let's endeavor to partake of this special inheritance.

Why is it so important to become sons of God?  How come being a child, a follower, a disciple, a servant, and/or a minister of the Lord Jesus is not enough?

Well, I am glad you asked and I will ask you a question.  Why would you choose to leave on the table (as it were) anything God has for you to partake of?  Remember, all good and perfect gifts come from God!

God said that he has given us power to become the sons of God (John 1:12), but it is up to us to allow Holy Spirit to lead us (Romans 8:14).  Can we still experience God's presence even if we are not led by God's Spirit?  Of course, God loves us and he will never leave us or forsake us.  But what are we missing out on by not taking part in the fullness of what he planned for us?

"I press towards  the mark of the high calling of God..." is what Apostle Paul said of himself.  Paul decided to get everything God had for him.  He went all out when he worked for Satan by killing Christians and persecuting them.  Then when Jesus changed his life, he determined to go full force in working for God.

It is a choice that we have to make for our ourselves daily.

What are we determining in our Christian life?  Is our goal just getting by to get into heaven?  Or can we see that there is so much more God has for us through Jesus Christ and Him Crucified.  Jesus said that he had to go to the Father or else he could not send God's Spirit.  Have we simply ignored the Spirit of God and what his assignment is here on earth.  Jesus knew that it was mighty important for God's Spirit to come and help us.

Let's not any longer turn away our Helper, Comforter, Teacher, Intercessor, and Leader into all truth.  Holy Spirit is here right now waiting for you to invite him in to lead you into becoming the sons of God!

Do not try to figure it all out.  All we need do is surrender and say, "Holy Spirit you have my permission to come into my life and perform your assignment given you from God to lead my life in Christ Jesus.  I am letting go and I am now allowing you to lead me into becoming a son of God and all the privileges I have in Christ Jesus my Lord in my sonship.  Thank you Holy Spirit."

Now, be sure to read the scriptures, meditate God's law, praise and thank him, delight yourself in the Lord, acknowledge him as God, and receive his guidance.  Trust God to open your eyes and see and walk in your sonship beginning today!

Always remember that we are ambassadors for Christ - II Corinthians 5:20
