That I Might Know Him - Day 5

That I might know him and the power of His resurrection.

 

That I may know him, and the power of his resurrection, and the fellowship of his sufferings, being made conformable unto his death;  If by any means I might attain unto the resurrection of the dead  Phil 3:10,11

 

There is a realm of intimacy that the Lord wants to reveal to His Church, that the saints of God have inherited through Christ Jesus. Jesus is both God and man. God has come to reveal himself through the man Christ Jesus. He is the visible image, representation of the invisible God.

 

No man knoweth God except His Son, and no  man can know the Son except the heavenly Father reveal Him to him.  We need to be introduced, welcomed into the living relationship with His Son in order to know God. It is through our relationship with Christ that we can come into a knowledge of God our Father.  Jesus revealed and made known to his disciples that His heavenly Gather was a God of love, not a God of wrath and destruction.  But a God full of mercy and forgiveness.  That Jesus came to save the world, not to condemn the world.  That through His life, this world and its people could be saved. Forgiven of their sin and come into the knowledge and relationship that a loving and forgiving Father wants to have with His creation, the children of God.

 

Our Lord is revealing to the world that through our Father we can be saved, redeemed, spared from the curse of sin. That there is an escape from death, hell and the grave.

 

God never intended that man should fall from his relationship and right standing with Almighty God.  But in the garden, man separated himself from the life and relationship with His heavenly Father and began to have a relationship with Satan. And was brought into a covenant relationship with sin and death.  He did not understand that this would be a permanent separation from God.  That there was no possible way for himself to bring forgiveness and reconciliation without God.

 

You see that Satan, the devil was imprisoned and held captive and had no right no relationship with man in this world. But through his cunning craftiness and false wisdom he was able to deceive man into breaking his covenant agreement with God. Saying that you shall not die… if you can partake of the tree of good and evil, you can have your own life without God. Once you eat of this fruit you shall be like God, live as your own God. Isn’t that what the devil is telling people today: “you can live your own life without God.”  But at that time when Adam and Eve took part in sin and rebelled against God. Their eyes were opened, they realized that they were naked and that their covenant relationship with God was broken. They realized that the life they shared with God was dead, they were cut off from the eternal life source of Almighty God.  Little did they know that this new life they bought into with Satan was a covenant with sin and death. Death now reigned in their mortal bodies, they were no longer protected, no longer separated from sin and death. Sin now ruled over them. Now because of Sins dominion over their flesh they taste death and eternal separation from God. This was the devils destiny, and now it was theirs.

 

God would now have to intervene and prepare to make a way of escape for his creation and mankind. To save them from hell and the grave. Hell was created for Satan and his demons, not for mankind.  God created man to live eternally with Him to never have to taste of death.  But to live an eternal life and to walk in a loving relationship God, his heavenly Father.

 

God our Father now promised to send His only Son Jesus into the world to save man from sin and death. Sin and death have no dominion over Christ His Son. He is supreme, all God and all man.  An eternal being that would never die but had the eternal life of the Father in Him.  He would have to lay down his life, no man could take away his life from him. He would surrender his life, sacrifice his life to save mankind.

 

Jesus showed that He had power over sin and death, through the life He lived here on earth.  He lived a perfect life free from sin.  He raised Lazarus from the grave, to prove to the world that He was the resurrection and the life. Any man that believed in Him, any one that came into a loving covenant relationship with Jesus would be saved from sin and death, and would be set free to live a new life with God.

 

This new knowledge and experience would be birthed in man by his Holy Spirit, that would cleanse us from our sins by the blood of Jesus and cause us to become a new creation in Christ. We now become alive to God and dead to sin. The promise of the Holy Spirit has been released upon the Church of God after his resurrection.  Jesus promised that He would send the Holy Spirit to be a comfort and guide to us after He rose from the dead.  He cares so much for us that He gave His life that we may be spared from death, hell and the grave. This new covenant relationship, the Spirit of Life in Christ Jesus has been given to the Church, to all that believe in the Lord Jesus Christ.  Shall be partakers of his resurrection power that will enable us to be saved from the power of sin. And give a new resurrected life to live with Christ.

 

Just as the grave could not hold Jesus but that He rose from the dead on the 3^rd Day. We too will rise to a new life when He calls for us. He said that I go to my Heavenly Father, I am not leaving you but I go to prepare a place for you.

 

In my Father's house are many mansions: if it were not so, I would have told you. I go to prepare a place for you.  And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come again, and receive you unto myself; that where I am, there ye may be also. John 14:2,3

 

Jesus goes ahead for us to prepare a place, a new life, he opens up new realms of the Spirit for our new place of habitation. A new existence, a new creation is now brought into being through Christ completed work on the cross. Through His blood sacrifice he purchased, paid the price for our new existence and life with Almighty God.

He goes ahead to prepare all these, that He may return to receive us into the kingdom of God.

 

Jesus said I am come that ye may have life and life more abundantly. Not as this world has to offer, but the life that only heaven can offer.  New resurrections life with and through Jesus Christ, His Spirit will live in us and abide in us.  If we ask Him into our hearts.  Jesus said I came that none would perish, but have eternal life.  And as many as receive Him gave he them the power to be saved.

 

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:  John 1:12

 

Saved to walk in relationship with our Father God, through Christ new breathed life in us.

We are quickened, made alive in Christ, free from sin, hell.  Sin and death shall no longer have dominion over your.  But if you abide in Me, keep my covenant, keep my commandments, then I will abide in you and you will abide in me and you shall have eternal life.  We can live the heavenly life that God intends for man. As we join ourselves to the Lord we become one Spirit with Him. His life live in us. I realize that through the new birth, being born again in the Spirit, I find that there is the life, the person of Christ living in me.  If I pray and seek his face, at times He reveals himself alive in me and I know that I am not alone in this world, but some how, some way, He now lives in me. And you too can have this new resurrection life of Christ living, abiding in you.

Peter

Eyes of Faith to Live in God's Kingdom

Grace and peace be yours in abundance through the knowledge of God

And of Jesus our Lord… 2Peter 1:2 

 

Grace and Peace, for the Kingdom of God is not in meat and drink,

But in righteousness, Peace and Joy in the Holy Ghost.

 

A knowledge that enables you to take hold of the truth enables you to be a partaker of the promises of God. There is a knowing in Christ that goes beyond the human aspect of being knowledgeable about facts.  There is a knowing in Christ that enables a spiritual man or woman of God to posses the truth, the promises of God. 

John 3:3 Jesus answered and said to him, “Most assuredly, I say to you, unless one is born again, he cannot see the kingdom of God.”

 

You can actually see the promise in the spirit and you take hold of it by faith. This is not a mind ascension, but an actual working spiritual ability that God gives to the child of God. Who are sold out to God, who trusts the Lord with all their hearts.  Jesus said in his walk here I earth. I only do what I see my Father doing in heaven.  There is the having a spiritual eye that can see what the Father is doing, what the Spirit of God wants to do on the earth. He is looking for one who will follow the leading of the Spirit, and speak into existence that which is in heaven and cause it to be created, reproduced here on earth.  There is a working of God in our lives, where the Spirit of the Lord want to take possession, reveal to us the will of the Father, and show us things to come. Bible talks about asking, commanding, speaking forth under the unction, anointing of God. The Lord will fill our mouths with the works of the Father. Jesus said, my work is to do the will of my Father.

Being drawn into fellowship and relationship with God.

Become aware and one with the reality of God and His Holy presence in your life.

 

Not an outside observer as one who sits in the stands.

Viewing the game of life from the bleachers.  Only having an outsiders view and

knowledge of the game.  Having some knowledge of the strategies, but not knowing

how to put them into practice. Not and active participant. Not in touch with the reality of the truth. Teaching from the mind set of an outsider, a casual viewer of the game.

 

Never actively participating, playing in the game of life, not being a team player.

Knowing all things but not able to do anything with the truth of what they know.

No actual hands on experience, no true relevance that has impacted their lives.

That have not really been transformed, translated from the darkness.

 

But are trying to be participants of both realities and never coming to a true knowledge of experience of the truth. Retaining in their conscious the values of this world. Staying connected to this current world, standing in the door way of life. Viewing both worlds but not being free to actively pursue and possess the promises of God, Still remaining outside, not in possession of the promise land. Not able to truly grasp life by the horns and make God’s truth an active reality in their daily lives…

 

Having a form of godliness but denying the active power of God, resisting, limiting God from penetrating their hearts and minds.

 

Live in His Grace,

Peter

God's Mighty Men - Giving Back to our Communities

Time for God’s people to arise and take possession for the kingdom. To declare the mighty works of God for His Church. He will cause us to rule and reign in Christ. It’s His power and glory that He is bestowing upon His Church. He is anointing his Church with the power of the Holy Ghost. We are being transformed into the Mighty Men of God, his new force on earth to meet and triumph over all the challenges and obstacles that come against his Church, the people of God. These Mighty Men will be the new giant killers of the Kingdom of God. To destroy the works of Darkness; to totally defeat the enemies forces. We are more than conquers through Christ, through the Christ that lives in us. He shall cause us to tread upon serpents and scorpions, over all the powers of the enemy. Just as Joshua and Caleb said that “Let us press in and take the land, for the Lord has given us this land. These people, these giants in the land that the Lord has given to us are bread in our hands. For we shall devour them with the breath and might of our God. As we worship the Lord and give Him our bodies, our minds and our hearts. We shall increase in strength and power. To know that the Lord our God is with us. If God be for us, who can stand against us… As we begin to meditate upon His Word, we shall grow in courage and be as bold as lions. He will no longer suffer to see His Church defeated and oppressed. For He has anointed us to destroy, to break every yoke of bondage. Let us give back to our communities. Let us not turn aside our eyes from those who are in need. Let us be restorers of the breach, reaching out to the Hurt and Needy. Let the compassion of God well up in our hearts, that we would hear the cry of the needy and help to comfort them. Help them with housing, food, Love and comfort. Thank you, Lord Richly Bless you, Peter Let us give you New Hope for Homeowners. http://www.newhopehotline.com

What's in Your Wallet? - What are we doing for the Kingdom of God?

What are we doing for the Kingdom of God? CapitalOne says "What's in Your Wallet?" What's in your heavenly Wallet, bank account. Are you making deposits, or withdrawals? Expanding the Kingdom, Building, Restoring the Kingdom Life in others. As for me and my House we shall serve the Lord. Greater is He that is in me then He that is in the world. Lord has made us more than conquerors. He has enabled us to Triumph in all things. Means we have the Victory! Before we even start out in the battle. We have already won. God's Spirit gives us all things. All things that we need in this life to live a Godly life. A successful life, a life walking in the prosperity of God. Walking in: Divine Health Freedom from Sickness and Disease Freedom from Poverty and Lack (I will want for not good thing, My God shall supply all my needs...) My God shall supply all my Needs, according to His riches and glory in Christ Jesus. Jesus and all of heaven is backing us up. Our supply line goes all the way up to the Throne of Heaven. Where Jesus is seated at the right hand of God, and is interceding on our behalf. He has already authorized and commissioned us to do His Will, to do and perform the "work of the Father." Greater is He that is in me then he that is in the world. No Limits in Christ. More than a conqueror. You are my refuge and strength. The hand of the Lord is upon me, the good hand of God. He supplies me and equips me, satisfying the longing, the needs of my heart and life. Matthew 12:34 Jesus had already stated, "Out of the abundance of the heart, the mouth speaks.") Out of the abundance of one's heart, the mouth speaks." Out of the abundance of the heart my mouth speaks, rivers of living waters. Words of Life, good deeds, works of God. Raise the dead, heal the sick, comfort and save the lost. Luke 9:2 Then he sent them to proclaim the kingdom of God and to heal the sick. Preach the Gospel of the Kingdom, Heaven is at hand, reach up and touch heaven, grab a piece of heaven for your life now. In the Name of Jesus. He will surely give us all good things. If we ask for bread, will He give us a stone. As we touch heaven, the heart of God, with our prayers. The Windows of Heaven will open up and pour out a blessing. More than we can contain More than we can know what to do with it. What will you do when God releases the abundance of heaven into and through your life. Will you shut the door and try to keep it for yourself. Or will you go out and share it with others. Share it with others that have a need in heir lives. Let us be restores of the breach, menders of the Hearts and Minds, and Bodies of the men and women in this world... Being distributors of the Bread from Heaven. Elijah went 40 Days in the power of the Spirit after he had a meal of the Bread of Heaven. What's in your Wallet? What's in your Heart? Where is the Vision of God leading you? Lord bless you all, just and inspiring word, I felt from the Lord today... Peter Co-Founder of www.godspace.cc Please join us and add your comments at our social website: http://mygodspace.ning.com/
