The Lord has told me to tell you that its by grace that we are saved, and its by grace that we live. Forgiveness is a gift freely given to all and only can be received upon the acceptance of our Lord's death and ressurection, in which we obtain new life through and in him. That we have been reconciled from sin, now under grace to receive mercy by his lashings we are healed.
We are not to go back to the old way of thinking and living; this takes faith through love, which is not under the law for the law is the school master and not the Father. We are not to live now, like common men who are oblivious to who they are, ignorant of the their spirits and Holy Ghost. Christ is the stumbling block in many ways becaue he is the only way and no one can pass through except by him, he guides us correctly. He is the gate, the door...we are not be decieved in any way.
To accept forgiveness for our sinful natures is to first accept ourselves as sinful without Christ, and through this, his death we accept ourselves as the Fathers children, grafted into truth and mercy, bearing now the fruites of the spirit. A man cannot serve two masters. We accept humbly this once and then walk and he reveals who we are in him. We do not stumble and fall, because God upholds us, we learn. We are not judged by any man, because we are the servants of the Lord, and no one can judge anothers servant. We are accountable and take responsiblity because the time is short and the labourers are few. This is not a game, this is not about who's right or wrong...this is just the way it is.
You are his child, born of flesh and born of spirit. We all are, but there are some that have yet to be clean and accept this gift that God sent to us, his promise and hope for the future. We are not to be afraid but have faith. Your faith will be tested, but its not because of sin, its because he wants you to be with him in every way. All this that happens on earth is nothing and will pass away, its what we call life on earth. What is something is what we know to be true, its wisdom and knowledge that speaks through us to cut into the issues of mans heart, its love that covers us, we are protected.
We have not been forgotten, neither in the darkness nor the shadows of death are we alone. We are with him now and will never be separated from him again, his power is in us. God is love and we in him are that love; who would seek to repeat distructive behavour? or lie outwardly towards another to cause harm? Who would belittle their neighbour, or not help those in need? When we seek to do good to the least, it is unto Christ that we do this, because our spirits have come from him and he is in life, we are not alone. He is the breath of our lives...and he loves you more than your human mind and heart can accept. In Christ, the mind and heart can accept and grow in him in all things for he gives us a new one, praise his glorious name forever.
Sin is no longer an issue and should not be a place where we go to ask forgiveness, we are not under it any longer, it has no part of us, rather we are under grace and have received mercy.
Its not what we see, for not everything is as it appears, its what we know and believe that shapes our lives in Christ. We are not to be deceived or else we will come to think only of ourselves and ignore the crys of the people and the voice of our God. He made this possible for us, we did nothing...we were helplessly involved in deception and needed this way to be opened to us to pass through in order to obtain mercy.
We are not taken, we are left here to be a voice, a friend, a teacher, a helper, we have wisdom, love and endurance from him. Where is there room for sin to live any longer...by faith you are healed, believe with all you have and trust in the Lord. Ignore nothing but bring it before the Father and tell him, talk to him, pray....live no longer for yourself and life will open to you and you will see what I am saying is the truth.
