HAPPY RESURRECTION DAY 2019
Easter Sunday is the 21st. of April this year. A day to celebrate the RESURRECTION of God the Son, from the dead. For he was crucified for the sin's of the whole world, yours and mine. Because God took him who knew NO SIN, to be sin for us, so that IN HIM WE MIGHT BECOME THE RIGHTEOUSNESS OF GOD!
So is that something to get excited about, something to celebrate? I can't imagine anything more worthy of celebration than the Resurrection of the savior of the WORLD. If we believe in his death for us on the cross, his burial which is the proof of death and Resurrected Life on the third day.
Some people want to get into semantics in an attempt to confuse the issue, which is, "God became a man, was born of a virgin, lived a sinless life, and in an attempt to save humanity, paid a debt he didn’t owe and died a death he didn’t deserve to die. To pay the penalty for our sins, taking ALL our sins upon himself, and died in OUR PLACE. "Greater love hath no man than this, that a man lay down his life for his friends.” (John 15:3)
God say's, "the wages of sin is death". Religious types want to try and convince you, the wages of sin is a paddling, or in and out of fellowship, or some other such nonsense. Nothing could be further from truth. The wages of sin is DEATH. And Jesus took our sins upon himself and paid the price for us. Beaten as no man, beyond recognition so even his mother couldn't recognize him. The just for the unjust, and act of Love that will never be duplicated. Even though religious people laden with sin will attempt to convince you, you have to ask Jesus to come and do it again and again, every time you sin. They want you to believe a LIE, and the Bible tells us you can believe a lie and be damned. They want to put Jesus on the same level of that of a bull or a goat which could never take away sin, cover it for a time, yes, but take it away? Never. The Bible tells us clearly, that Jesus died ONCE and for ALL mankind, to take AWAY our sins from the eyes of God forever, NEVER to be counted against us. So we either put Faith in that fact, believe it in our hearts or reject his sacrifice and die in our sins. Is that a difficult choice to make?
It's horrible how satan with the help of religious institutions, organizations, belief systems and false ministers have managed to cloud that FACT from ever coming to light. Even though people sing about it, talk about it, it never becomes reality in a persons life for the most part, because we are also constantly told we must confess to get forgiveness! it's a LIE out of the pit of HELL. Tell me if you can, how many people confessed to Jesus, and asked him to die on that cross that day when he completed his act of Love for us and was crucified in our place? It was God's idea from BEFORE the foundation of the world, it's why he came to earth in the first place. But satan's people want to keep us from ever receiving the Knowledge of Truth, and come to Jesus by Faith and be saved by receiving Spiritual Life from our condition of death. That's what I call a conspiracy.
God doesn't want us to become religious people, church goers, he wants us to be His children. When we actually come to faith in Jesus, “He places us in his BODY which is the CHURCH of the Living God”. The only “CHURCH” God’s interested in, his BODY, which is made up of PEOPLE, who have come to him by FAITH. People that want an actual Relationship with the Living God, just like Adam had before the fall. He wants to restore in man Spiritual Life, having his Spirit once again indwelling man! So we too can walk and talk with our creator any and every moment of everyday, never to be without him in this world ever again. How is that relationship, or Spiritual Life actually received, you may ask. Through Faith in the ONE who did it ALL for us, because we could do NOTHING in and of ourselves.
Satan has gotten man to exchange a personal relationship with the living God for club membership in some religious organization of man, rather than Jesus. How nuts is that. So we go to building worship, throw our hands up in the air and swing and sway with Sammy Kaye, and get goose bumps and pass the plate, dance about and make the music so loud you can’t possibly think, because THEY don’t want you too, or you may get up and leave before they get to pass the plate "again".
Is it okay to get together with other believers? Of course it is, but we don’t have to do it by the hundreds or thousands, all in lock step with one another, all doing and saying the same thing at the same time, with the same amount of enthusiasm? What’s that about? God said where 2 or more are gathered together in HIS NAME, there HE will be in the midst of them. Does that sound like a Rolling Stone Concert to you? That’s not what Jesus had in mind at all. He wanted us to get together to talk about him, for the purpose of being discipled. Jesus said "go and make DISCIPLES of MEN, Praying for one another, and comforting each other or whatever else is needed as children of the Most High God. It isn’t supposed to look and sound like a circus, with one show going on all the time to entertain the masses, buying StarBucks coffee while many times watching a giant screen TV, while still others are busy passing the plate and pick your pockets. Then try to get you out to make room for the next group that needs to be entertained and relieved of their hard earned money God has give them to take care of their families. Some times having two, three or even four shows, what they laughingly like to call services? How may I ask is teaching people to believer error a service to anybody? How may I ask is relieving people of they're hard earned money and teaching them absolutely nothing about who and what they are in Christ, can be referred to as some kind of service?
When Jesus was giving his sermons in Israel, did he try to get everybody up and dancing to the music, give him millions of dollars on a weekly basis. No, He fed those people spiritual food called TRUTH that could set them free from the bondage of RELIGION. They sat there quietly listening to the master speak, hanging on every word for hours upon hours at a time. So long in fact Jesus didn't want them to faint from hunger on their way home, so he fed them physically as well, as spiritually. There is no feeding happening today, people are being milked like cattle, while being entertain by paid professionals. How spiritual is that may I ask? Let's don't play church people, lets stop acting like we've been told Christians should act, and come to Jesus for what He came to give you, which is LIFE, and allow him through the power of the Holy Spirit of God to live his Life in and through us. God said as we received him, so walk you in HIM. How? By Faith! We should walk in him by that same Faith.
Want to be entertained by TRUTH for a change, open your Bibles and let's start paying attention to what Jesus who is God the Son is telling you and stop listening to the fables of men and would be ministers, if you aren't actually being ministered too, stop attending these milking barns and start reading God's word that he gave us in written form. Here's some INFORMATION for you, for FREE, ya don't have to throw money at me to get it. Reading the NEW COVENANT in GOD'S WORD. Not the old, but the New Testament ushered in by the very BLOOD OF JESUS. What is a Covenant, you might be wondering. A covenant is the same thing as a WILL, or a TESTAMENT. In this case the NEW COVENANT is the LAST WILL AND OR TESTAMENT of JESUS CHRIST. When does a WILL go into effect? When the ONE who made it DIES, not one minute before. So, no, the New Covenant doesn't start at the 1st. chapter of Matthew, it actually starts in the 2 chapter of Acts. On the day of Pentecost. So start your learning expedition in Romans thru Hebrews. That's the New Covenant. Everything before that Jesus was teaching under the Old Covenant. What did he say, "He came to fulfill the old, and bring in the New. We don't live under the old, we live under the New. The Bible tells us, the Old is gone, the New Has come. The old is the law, and God said NOBODY would ever please God by observing or obeying the law, because nobody can, and Jesus is the only One that ever did. So read, and ask Jesus to teach you truth as you read, and he will. Life is all about Faith in Jesus and what HE DID, not what we can do in this life. If we could do ANY of this in our own flesh, Jesus could have stayed in Heaven and not had to have endured the cross and suffered its shame.
Jesus died and was risen so he could live his life in and through you and me, and be with us forever, where ever we may go! You are the Church or Body of the Living God. It's not somewhere to go, on any given day of the week, it's a LIFE to be lived.
The Romans Destroyed the Temple at Jerusalem, 70 AD, there is no more temple worship. God said, "God is Spirit, and those who WORSHIP Him must WORSHIP HIM in spirit and in truth.” (John 4:24) Notice he didn’t say in some designated building somewhere with stained glass windows and golden alters and cushy pews. So what are you looking for? Religion or a Relationship? Ya can’t have both. 12 He who has the Son has life; he who does not have the Son of God does not have life. (1 John 5:12) Take your pick, it’s all about choices. The Christian life isn’t about trying to make you feel good about yourself, it’s feeling good about Jesus and what he's done for you and sharing that experience with others so they too can have New Life in Christ. We are to be Christ's Ambassadors as though God where making his appeal through us. But if we don't know what it is he's actually done for us, how to we go about sharing that information with others? Which was the whole purpose of coming together on a regular basis so those who have been discipled before us by the Holy Spirit of God, could share that knowledge with others, so they too can do the work of an evangelist, and spread the good news.
Check this out;
"14 Do not be yoked together with unbelievers. For what do righteousness and wickedness have in common? Or what fellowship can light have with darkness? 15 What harmony is there between Christ and Belial? What does a believer have in common with an unbeliever? 16 What agreement is there between the temple of God and idols? For WE ARE THE THE TEMPLE OF THE LIVING GOD. As God has said: "I will live with them and walk among them, and I will be their God, and they will be my people."
17 "Therefore COME OUT FROM AMONG THEM AND BE SEPARATE, SAYS THE LORD.
Touch no unclean thing,
and I will receive you."
18 "I will be a Father to you,
and you will be my sons and daughters, says the Lord Almighty.(2 Corinthians 6:14-18)
Come out from among the temple worshippers? Touch not the unclean thing? Don't be yoked together with unbelievers? What does all this mean, you may ask, and why not, to the unlearned this seems like a confusing thing, but it really isn't.
People playing church all over the world, but they are really UNBELIEVERS. How is that possible? Because though they claim to be Christians, they are still asking constantly Jesus to forgive their sins. What a bunch of double talk. They say out of one side of their collective mouths that Jesus died on the cross to take away their sins, yet out of the other side of their mouths, they are pleading with God to forgive their sins? If that's not double talk I don't know what is. Jesus either took away our sins or he didn't. We are SAVED BY FAITH IN HIM AND WHAT IT IS HE DID FOR US, IN HIS DEATH ON THE CROSS WHICH TOOK AWAY OUR SINS, HIS BURIAL, AND RESURRECTED LIFE ON THE THRID DAY. if they truly believed God they wouldn't be asking him to do what in Christ he's already done would they? So they are proving beyond a double they don't really believe God at all. God say's to come out from among those kinds of people and be ye separate, you don't belong with people like that. Those are the people you are actually supposed to be ministering too, to try and convince that Jesus has indeed taken away ALL their sins, with his very own blood. No, he is not going to do that again EVER.
Jesus didn't come and die on a cross to change your lifestyle so you could ACT like a better person. Because you don't need Jesus to appear to be better to the world around you. Any actor can act, and guess what, we are all actors, pretending to be what we are not most of the time. God wants to do something far greater for us than give us an acting career, pretending to be what we are not. He wants to EXCHANGE our lives for HIS. He came that we might have LIFE and have it to the FULL. Not some pretend existence trying desperately to be what we know we are not. Perfect little boys and girls that never make mistakes. We WERE DEAD, BUT GOD CAME TO GIVE US LIFE. HIS LIFE FOR OURS, IT'S CALLED THE EXCHANGED LIFE FOR A REASON. WE NO LONGER LIVE BUT CHRIST LIVES IN US. Our flesh isn't going to change, remember the flesh counts for NOTHING, - and this flesh will NEVER PLEASE GOD, NOR CAN IT DO SO, AND - THIS FLESH WILL NEVER ENTER THE KINGDOM OF HEAVEN. IS ANY OF THIS A CLUE FOR ANYBODY. I'm quoting scripture here. JESUS CAME TO GIVE US WHAT WE DIDN'T HAVE, WHICH WAS SPIRITUAL LIFE, HE CAME TO LIVE HIS RESURRECTED LIFE IN US THROUGH FAITH IN HIS SON JESUS CHRIST THE RIGHTEOUS ONE. What does God's word tell us?
19 “For through the law I DIED to the law so that I might live for God. 20 I have been crucified with Christ and I NO LONGER LIVE, but Christ lives in ME. The life I now live in the body, I live BY FAITH in the Son of God, who loved me and gave himself for me. 21 I do not set aside the grace of God, for if righteousness could be gained through the law, Christ died for nothing!” (Galatians 2:19-21)
Jesus Living His Life in and through us. Taking everything thing that we were, which was wickedness, spiritual death separation from the Life of God, and giving us in exchange for who and what we where, His Life which is Everlasting Spiritual Life, time without end, giving us His Holiness, His Righteousness, His perfection, His Love, His Spiritual Power, so we can grasp how great and deep and wide is God's LOVE for us.
All of that is a Gift from God to all those who believe on his Name. The name that is above every name that can be named, Jesus Christ the Righteous ONE. Get that, the Righteous "ONE". Because he is the only Righteous One to have ever walked the earth. And if any of us are ever to obtain righteousness it will be as a result of the gift of his righteousness, living in and through us.
This takes ALL the pressure off of YOU, trying to make yourself righteous which is an exercise in futility. Because if HIS Righteousness doesn't live in you, you'll never have any. This "right standing" with God comes by Faith in Jesus. There is NOTHING any of us can do to create our own Right Standing with God. But by our faith in Jesus, we receive his righteousness as a gift. And we can ADD NOTHING it. Because it is perfect already. All we can do is spend the rest of our lives Thanking Him for his intervention in our lives as we were on the wide road to hell without him. But with him we can do all things through the Spirit of him who lives in us.
Now let me ask this question, did Jesus die for good little boys and girls? NO, HE DID NOT! Why is that? BECAUSE THERE AREN'T ANY. JESUS DIED FOR SINNERS, FOR THE UNRIGHTEOUS, FOR THE WICKED. HE DIED FOR YOU AND ME. Let's THANK AND PRAISE HIS GLORIOUS NAME. HOW HARD IS THAT MAY I ASK?
BECAUSE THIS LOVING GOD HAS SAVED US FROM OURSELVES. GIVING GLORY TO JESUS CHRIST SHOULD BE THE EASIEST THING IN THE WORLD.
5 Moses writes this about the righteousness that is by the LAW: “The person who does these things will live by them.” 6 But the righteousness that is by FAITH says: “Do not say in your heart, ‘Who will ascend into heaven?’ (that is, to bring Christ down) 7 “or ‘Who will descend into the deep?’ (that is, to bring Christ up from the dead). 8 But what does it say? “The word is near you; it is in your mouth and in your heart,” that is, the message concerning FAITH that we proclaim: 9 If you declare with your mouth, “Jesus is Lord,” and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, YOU WILL BE SAVED. 10 For it is with your heart that you believe and are justified, and it is with your mouth that you profess your FAITH and are SAVED. 11 As Scripture says, “Anyone who believes in him will never be put to shame.” 12 For there is no difference between Jew and Gentile—the same Lord is Lord of all and richly blesses all who call on him, 13 for, “Everyone who calls on the name of the LORD WILL BE SAVED.”
14 How, then, can they call on the one they have not believed in? And how can they believe in the one of whom they have not heard? And how can they hear without someone preaching to them? 15 And how can anyone preach unless they are sent? As it is written: “How beautiful are the feet of those who bring good news!” (Romans 10:5-15)
What is Salvation? It's the imputation of the Life of Jesus Christ coming to live in each of us through the power of the Holy Spirit of God. Happy Easter, and a very BLESSED RESURRECTION DAY TO YOU ALL!
------------------------ JESUS ✝️ SAVES -------------------------
Grace and Peace to you from God our Father in the Lord Jesus Christ, FOREVER! Through Faith in Jesus!
10 The thief comes only to STEAL and KILL and DESTROY; I have come that they may have LIFE, and have it to the FULL. (John 10:10)
Jesus came to bring spiritual LIFE to the spiritually dead and set the captives FREE! FREE from RELIGION, ERROR and outright LIES, so they might serve THE LIVING GOD! In SPIRIT and in TRUTH!

Jesus Living His Life in and through us. Taking everything thing that we were, which was wickedness, spiritual death separation from the Life of God, and giving us in exchange for who and what we where, His Life which is Everlasting Spiritual Life, time without end, giving us His Holiness, His Righteousness, His perfection, His Love, His Spiritual Power, so we can grasp how great and deep and wide is God's LOVE for us.
All of that is a Gift from God to all those who believe on his Name. The name that is above every name that can be named, Jesus Christ the Righteous ONE. Get that, the Righteous "ONE". Because he is the only Righteous One to have ever walked the earth. And if any of us are ever to obtain righteousness it will be as a result of the gift of his righteousness, living in and through us.
This takes ALL the pressure off of YOU, trying to make yourself righteous which is an exercise in futility. Because if HIS Righteousness doesn't live in you, you'll never have any. This "right standing" with God comes by Faith in Jesus. There is NOTHING any of us can do to create our own Right Standing with God. But by our faith in Jesus, we receive his righteousness as a gift. And we can ADD NOTHING it. Because it is perfect already. All we can do is spend the rest of our lives Thanking Him for his intervention in our lives as we were on the wide road to hell without him. But with him we can do all things through the Spirit of him who lives in us.
Now let me ask this question, did Jesus die for good little boys and girls? NO, HE DID NOT! Why is that? BECAUSE THERE AREN'T ANY. JESUS DIED FOR SINNERS, FOR THE UNRIGHTEOUS, FOR THE WICKED. HE DIED FOR YOU AND ME. Let's THANK AND PRAISE HIS GLORIOUS NAME. HOW HARD IS THAT MAY I ASK?
BECAUSE THIS LOVING GOD HAS SAVED US FROM OURSELVES. GIVING GLORY TO JESUS CHRIST SHOULD BE THE EASIEST THING IN THE WORLD.
5 Moses writes this about the righteousness that is by the LAW: “The person who does these things will live by them.” 6 But the righteousness that is by FAITH says: “Do not say in your heart, ‘Who will ascend into heaven?’ (that is, to bring Christ down) 7 “or ‘Who will descend into the deep?’ (that is, to bring Christ up from the dead). 8 But what does it say? “The word is near you; it is in your mouth and in your heart,” that is, the message concerning FAITH that we proclaim: 9 If you declare with your mouth, “Jesus is Lord,” and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, YOU WILL BE SAVED. 10 For it is with your heart that you believe and are justified, and it is with your mouth that you profess your FAITH and are SAVED. 11 As Scripture says, “Anyone who believes in him will never be put to shame.” 12 For there is no difference between Jew and Gentile—the same Lord is Lord of all and richly blesses all who call on him, 13 for, “Everyone who calls on the name of the LORD WILL BE SAVED.”
14 How, then, can they call on the one they have not believed in? And how can they believe in the one of whom they have not heard? And how can they hear without someone preaching to them? 15 And how can anyone preach unless they are sent? As it is written: “How beautiful are the feet of those who bring good news!” (Romans 10:5-15)
What is Salvation? It's the imputation of the Life of Jesus Christ coming to live in each of us through the power of the Holy Spirit of God. Happy Easter, and a very BLESSED RESURRECTION DAY TO YOU ALL!
