As God in The Temple of God

Image
  As God in the Temple of God   With things like Cancer, Diabetes, Parkinsons Cerebral Palsy, etc it is not so much about just fighting a sickness or disease. They come in to usurp lordship over a body, family,  or small group of influence (Lord - the only one with right of decision)   They come in to dictate what you can or can not do, what you can eat, where you can go, and how you will spend your money...how long you will live... the quality of life...  And... it does not just affect that person, but the whole house. It is now an issue of KINGDOM  ...  whose right is it to rule and reign in that temple?. .. to whom does that property belong?... who bought and paid for that person with the price of their blood?  By whose stripes were they healed? We are not the sick trying to get healed, but we are the healed, holding fast to that which we already have.... translated OUT OF THE POWER OF DARKNESS AND INTO THE KINGDOM OF ... THE SON. A disease is ...

Will He Find Faith?

  WILL HE FIND FAITH?     “When the Son of Man comes, will He find FAITH on the earth?” – JESUS CHRIST (Lk18:8)     FAITH, as defined by the world in the Oxford Dictionary is: “complete trust or confidence in someone or something.”      What is the main reason we do not completely trust someone?     WE DO NOT KNOW THEM!   Or… maybe we  DO  KNOW THEM, and THAT is the problem… they are not trustworthy.     It almost always boils down to an experiential relationship with that person… and the depth or intimacy of it.      The more we know someone, the better we know how they think, how they respond to situations, what their integrity is… We know their character, their nature… even their very perspective on life.      Why else would Jesus Christ say, “depart from me,  I NEVER KNEW YOU ” to people who were supposedly doing works for Him? (Mtt7:21-23)     I can copy someone’...

Identify

Image
  IDENTIFY 1.       establish or indicate who or what (someone or something) is.   BBC NEWS April 2022:    A killer who transitioned from male to female now wants to identify as a baby, after demanding prison officers provide her with “nappies”, “dummies”, and pureed baby food. Guards at Polmont prison in Brightons, Scotland, are also expected to hold Eastwood's hand when she is escorted from her cell.   There is a girl in Australia who identifies as a cat.    …Also a transgender that now identifies as a horse.    We have transgender… trans species… trans age…   … apparently one can let society know what they want to be treated as… and we are to accommodate their delusions.    “However, the spiritual is not first, but the natural; then the spiritual.” (1Cor15:46NASB)   This is also going on spiritually!   Satan tries to get us to identify with an old man that is dead.    He started i...

Love Lifted Me

Image
  I awakened  this morning thinking again of an old hymn from my childhood, "Love Lifted Me". The chorus goes, " love lifted me, love lifted me, when nothing else could help, love lifted me..."   As the little chorus washed as a bubbling stream over the rabble of my brain, I began to realize that "love" lifts... it edifies... it builds up... it esteems... it honors. Even in the midst of a correction, direction, or instruction... love still lifts. It never presses, nor oppresses... it never condemns, nor accuses... love beareth all things, believeth all things, hopeth all things, endureth all things.  Love never brings a person to doubt in one’s own abilities, goals, desires, or dreams, but rather encourages one to soar above all negativity , doubt, and unbelief.   It never faileth.  It always holds fast to its end goal, as said in the song: "love LIFTED me..."   Taken from 1 Cor 13  

LOVE

Image
  I LOVE PIZZA!   But I really love scallops!!!     There seems to be varying degrees of  LOVE ...  And all lumped into one word.      John 13:34–35  A new commandment I give to you:  ‘ LOVE  one another; as I have  LOVED  you, that you also  LOVE one another’. By this shall all men know that you are my disciples, if you have  LOVE  one to another.     Unfortunately, our English language is very inept at describing the nuances of LOVE.      Out of the 4 words translated  “LOVE”  in the Greek New Testament, there is one with which we represent our FATHER in HIS  LOVE  for the world (Jn3:16):     AGAPAO/AGAPE      It   embraces the judgement and assent of the will as a matter of principle and duty.  It is a  DECISION   OF PREFERENCE… not a feeling or emotion.       Fortunately for us, the WOR...
