Welcome to the year of our Lord Two Thousand and Ten!
I pray your year is filled with wholesome yearning to draw closer to our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ and that He fill the desires of your heart!
As we enter this New Year in the grace of our Lord I want to set my spiritual goals for 2010!
To somehow communicate the reality that it does not matter what we call ourselves Catholic, Baptist, Methodist or Pentecostal. We are all under the blood of the same savior Jesus Christ. Where our methods may vary in our worship practices we are all given to worship the only begotten Son of God Jesus Christ. Let me proclaim from the start that I am a seeker of the Mysteries of my redeemers word in all things, born from above through the grace of my dear saviors blood I have been cleansed and seek to fulfill my quest in seeking His righteousness that my journey here be pleasing in the sight of my God. Am I with sin? Yes, for where I not I would be purposing that God is a liar! But by grace my sin is covered by the love of the Father toward the Son and the Son toward the Father in the saving grace of the Holy Spirit through which they allow us to abide in the Son through His trials at Calvary that we manifest this truth; and this is the truth known in my heart.
KJV 1 John 5:5 Who is he that overcometh the world, but he that believeth that Jesus is the Son of God? 6 This is he that came by water and blood, even Jesus Christ; not by water only, but by water and blood. And it is the Spirit that beareth witness, because the Spirit is truth. 7 For there are three that bear record in heaven, the Father, the Word, and the Holy Ghost: and these three are one. 8 And there are three that bear witness in earth, the Spirit, and the water, and the blood: and these three agree in one. 9 If we receive the witness of men, the witness of God is greater: for this is the witness of God which he hath testified of his Son. 10 He that believeth on the Son of God hath the witness in himself: he that believeth not God hath made him a liar; because he believeth not the record that God gave of his Son. 11 And this is the record, that God hath given to us eternal life, and this life is in his Son. 12 He that hath the Son hath life; and he that hath not the Son of God hath not life. 13 These things have I written unto you that believe on the name of the Son of God; that ye may know that ye have eternal life, and that ye may believe on the name of the Son of God.
As the children of old so are the children of today some are goats and some are sheep…goats listen with earnest yet do not hear nor give their selves to any understanding. There is only a pleasant sound in their ear as they give ears of no understanding. And lift beautiful melody onto our Lord from their lips with their hearts scratched but never pierced that the blood and the water of their Father might give them understanding. Covetness and malice lies in their hearts creating a hardness that keeps the word of the Lord from being written on their hearts. They make merry with just the taste of goodness never desiring to submit to the fullness of the Word they hear! Perceiving no depth nor height nor width in the words spoken. Be ye not goats yield building your love in Christ that ye in truth be His vessel for His Name Sake….not yours! My words seem harsh even in my own hearing…so I will end this goat talk here praying earnestly that you receive my words in love. For God gives gifts on to all goats and sheep that His word be accomplish among us, Use not these precious gifts to promote yourself but rather to bring His love to all nations. There is such a fine line between judgment and discernment ask God that you always have a clear understanding for our purpose is to love one another and share in His bountiful gifts and graces. Not to divide from each other in fear, for fear is not of God. Be a good judge and discern those who love and serve him, examine their faith inquiring of their heart and the truth within or the lack of it will then show you where their love is cast.
Paul teaches us that teachers teach for all reasons some to their own bellies, but to dismay not….For the spoken word of God has power beyond our reason be glad that the word is reaching so many ears for the Lord will draw neigh to those he will draw n near to for all things are for His purpose and choice. For there are many vessels in the house of the Lord…Focus on those who have not heard or have heard and been victim to the harshness of religions that examines only the flesh and passes judgment that the Lord has reserved for Himself; For He alone can see the heart we can only experience the fruit or lack of fruit in their words and ways
This is a personal feeling and only from my heart and experiences. For I feel the greatest mission field of all is right here in the United States for we are given to such crisp and fast judgment of each other; that many have come and retreated from the church for the experience they had with some of the goats…We need the non judgmental love of God to manifest in our hearts that we can draw them to His Word and they not suffer lack of knowledge from our hands.
As it is written there will be a great falling away…let us not be a creator of this but a source of God’s word within it….We must not under estimate the power we have given over to the evil one in the 2000 years past. But be aware for it is written that if God not shorten the time all would be lost…the cunningness of the deception I fear is great! May we stand strong in the word of God manifested in the flesh to die for our sins and be a constant and reliable source of the truths within Jesus Christ.
