Inward Cleanness And Peace

1 Peter 3:19-22

"In which He went and preached to the spirits in prison,

[The souls of those] who long before in the days of Noah had been disobedient, when God’s patience waited during the building of the ark in which a few [people], actually eight in number, were saved through water.

And baptism, which is a figure [of their deliverance], does now also save you [from inward questionings and fears], not by the removing of outward body filth [bathing], but by [providing you with] the answer of a good and clear conscience (inward cleanness and peace) before God [because you are demonstrating what you believe to be yours] through the resurrection of Jesus Christ.

[And He] has now entered into heaven and is at the right hand of God, with [all] angels and authorities and powers made subservient to Him."

Thinking on the truth of having inward peace...

Jesus' death and burial, are to us, where He goes down in Hell prison, and preaches to them that were before the flood. Noah and them had a type of water cleansing in the Ark. Then God had a covenant with Abram, which is blood washing, by circumcision....That changing his name.

By demonstrating what they believed God had Said, then they walked in Promise Mode...

Now we have the resurrection of Christ Jesus as our New Life, as Born of God.

Our Faith in His Finished Work at The Cross.....

Advancing In There Own Interests

Philippians 2:18-21

"And you also in like manner be glad andcongratulate me on [my share in] it.

But I hope and trust in the Lord Jesus soon to send Timothy to you, so that I may also be encouraged and cheered by learning news of you.

For I have no one like him [no one of so kindred a spirit] who will be so genuinely interested in your welfare and devoted to your interests.

For the others all seek [to advance] their own interests, not those of Jesus Christ (the Messiah)."

Did Saint Paul, have a bad hair day? 

He is kept in an apartment prison, only those who value his faith and teachings in Jesus Christ, A Jewish Man, sent by God, would come and fellowship. The Father of Jesus, Who Said; "This Is My Beloved Son..." To those who heard it, didn't understand what they heard... To those who saw the signs, wonders, and miracles done by Him and His disciples, still didn't understand it.

Saint Paul was feeling the need for "Like Minded Spirits," to fellowship with.. That have Jesus on their minds, His Kingdom in them to Advance, and lift Jesus High.... Timothy was his man...

Let's Be Full of Joy Now

Romans 5:1-5

Romans 5

​"THEREFORE, SINCE we are justified (acquitted, declared righteous, and given a right standing with God) through faith, let us [grasp the fact that we] have [the peace of reconciliation to hold and toenjoy] peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ (the Messiah, the Anointed One).

Through Him also we have [our] access (entrance, introduction) by faith into this grace (state of God’s favor) in which we [firmly and safely] stand. And let us rejoice and exult in our hope of experiencing and enjoying the glory of God.

Moreover [let us also be full of joy now!] let us exult and triumph in our troubles and rejoice in our sufferings, knowing that pressure and affliction and hardship produce patient and unswerving endurance.

And endurance (fortitude) develops maturity ofcharacter (approved faith andtried integrity). And character [of this sort] produces [the habit of]joyful and confident hope of eternal salvation.

Such hope never disappoints or deludes or shames us, for God’s love has been poured out in our hearts through the Holy Spirit Who has been given to us."

If I have Jesus living in me, by faith, then why not hold on to Him, that He Is more then enough to please The Father for me...

If I have Jesus living in me, then I have His Spirit, Which He Is Holy...

If I have The Holy Spirit living in me because of faith in Jesus Being God Come in the flesh, then why not be full of loving joy... 

Freely receiving, freely giving It out...

As we say; "you can dish it out, and now you can take..."

Guiltless

James 2:12-13

"So speak and so act as [people should] who are to be judged under the law of liberty [the moral instruction given by Christ, especially about love].

For to him who has shown no mercy the judgment [will be] merciless, but mercy [full of glad confidence] exults victoriously over judgment."

Jesus had told one disciple of His, you will deny Me Thrice. This disciple had a haughty spirit. When the time came for him to go guiltless, that is not deny Him, because of the haughty spirit, he chose over Jesus to keep... The Judgment Jesus pronounced now is coming to pass. He denied Christ thrice. 

Peter battled guilt, because his mind judged him according to what Jesus said... But Peter's emotions was healed when Jesus said to Peter as well, "I Have Asked that your faith not fail."

To remove guilt, and walk guiltless, you must now act like and speak like, people no longer under a guilty sentence. But liberated into the Law of Liberation, through Jesus' Death, then burying... Then Being bought up by His Spirit, Who has quickened also our bodies and minds to be One with Him, as He Is blameless, so are we in this world... And the world to come.

Man Your Sins Are Forgiven

Luke 5:19-20

"But finding no way to bring him in because of the crowd, they went up on the roof and lowered him with his stretcher through the tiles into the midst, in front of Jesus.

And when He saw [their confidence in Him, springing from] their faith, He said, Man, your sins are forgiven you!"

Jesus saw their faith in Him... He forgave the man his sins, they never asked... He saw their faith and forgave.

The man was healed...

Knowing God of The Word

Psalms 62:5-7

"My soul, wait only upon God and silently submit to Him; for my hope and expectation are from Him.

He only is my Rock and my Salvation; He is my Defense and my Fortress, I shall not be moved.

With God rests my salvation and my glory; He is my Rock of unyielding strength and impenetrable hardness, and my refuge is in God!"

Knowing the Word, is one thing, but Knowing The God of His Word is another.

We can read the words from man, and know what he thinks and how he feels, but still never have met him and known him by experiencing him....

God Is The Same way,

Now, He Lives In Us

Matthew 10:7-10

"And as you go, preach, saying, The kingdom of heaven is at hand!

Cure the sick, raise the dead, cleanse the lepers, drive out demons. Freely (without pay) you have received, freely (without charge) give.

Take no gold nor silver nor [even] copper money in your purses (belts);

And do not take a provision bag or awallet for a collection bag for your journey, nor two undergarments, nor sandals, nor a staff; for the workman deserves his support (his living, his food)."

The Lord just before He sent them out without Him, He put His anointing on them. 

Matthew 10:1

Matthew 10

​"AND JESUS summoned to Him His twelve disciples and gave them power and authority over unclean spirits, to drive them out, and to cure all kinds of disease and all kinds of weakness and infirmity."

They were told to kick out demons, and heal any disease or sickness that the house of Israel had. Then He told them to not do anything right now to the Gentiles, or Samiritans. He told them to tell The Israelites that The Kingdom of God Is at hand. This was a prophesy being fulfilled.

Now, Jesus in us, Is The Kingdom of God! Whosoever He Lives in. But, He still has not changed His orders.... We are to with Him, kick the devil out of people, and heal their oppression of sicknesses and diseases. 

Foundation We Build On

Hebrews 2:1-3

Hebrews 2

​"SINCE ALL this is true, we ought to pay much closer attention than ever to the truths that we have heard, lest in any way we drift past [them] and slip away.

For if the message given through angels [the Law spoken by them to Moses] was authentic and proved sure, and every violation and disobedience received an appropriate (just and adequate) penalty,

How shall we escape [appropriate retribution] if we neglect and refuse to pay attention to such a great salvation [as is now offered to us, letting it drift past us forever]? For it was declared at first by the Lord [Himself], and it was confirmed to us and proved to be real and genuine by those who personally heard [Him speak]."

Building A Foundation With Christ, is taking a truth that Christ Himself stated was the foundation truth in Him Is;

2 Corinthians 5:17

"Therefore if any person is [ingrafted] in Christ (the Messiah) he is a new creation (a new creature altogether); the old [previous moral and spiritual condition] has passed away. Behold, the fresh and new has come!"

Are you Born of Him?

Setting Up A House That Jesus Runs

3 John 1:7-10

"For these [traveling missionaries] have gone out for the Name’s sake (for His sake) and are accepting nothing from the Gentiles (the heathen, the non-Israelites).

So we ourselves ought to support such people [to welcome and provide for them], in order that we may be fellow workers in the Truth (the whole Gospel) and cooperate with its teachers.

I have written briefly to the church; but Diotrephes, who likes to take the lead among them and put himself first, does not acknowledge my authority and refuses to accept my suggestions or to listen to me.

So when I arrive, I will call attention to what he is doing, his boiling over and casting malicious reflections upon us with insinuating language. And not satisfied with that, he refuses to receive and welcome the [missionary] brethren himself, and also interferes with and forbids those who would welcome them, and tries to expel (excommunicate) them from the church."

Setting up, and putting things in order that Jesus Is Head of things, requires Him telling me what He Wants. Lately, my husband and I are building a porch, and he designed it in his mind. When he needed help I had to wait till he needed it, and do what he told me to do when he needed it. It was harder on him then me, I had the easy part just to do what I was told, no more, no less. 

Jesus has done all the work, He just needs you to do as He has asked.

Did He Already Know You?

Romans 8:30

"And those whom He thus foreordained, He also called; and those whom He called, He also justified (acquitted, made righteous, putting them into right standing with Himself). And those whom He justified, He also glorified [raising them to a heavenly dignity and condition or state of being]."

"Those He Already Knew," He Also Called. And when He Called, He Already Knew He Would so justify as If, It Is He Being Called.

All Things

Romans 8:30-33:

"And those whom He thus foreordained, He also called; and those whom He called, He also justified (acquitted, made righteous, putting them into right standing with Himself). And those whom He justified, He also glorified [raising them to a heavenly dignity and condition or state of being].

What then shall we say to [all] this? If God is for us, who [can be] against us? [Who can be our foe, if God is on our side?]

He who did not withhold or spare [even] His own Son but gave Him up for us all, will He not also with Him freely and graciously give us all [other] things?

Who shall bring any charge against God’s elect [when it is] God Who justifies [that is, Who puts us in right relation to Himself? Who shall come forward and accuse or impeach those whom God has chosen? Will God, Who acquits us?]"

Who can be our foe when Jesus Knew us, bought us, Said; "You Are Mine,"

And gave us All Things...

Hearing It Ok

2 Peter 1:18-19

"We [actually] heard this voice borne out of heaven, for we were together with Him on the holy mountain.

And we have the prophetic word [made] firmer still. You will do well to pay close attention to it as to a lamp shining in a dismal (squalid and dark) place, until the day breaks through [the gloom] and the Morning Star rises (comes into being) in your hearts."

Peter is saying he and the bro's were there and heard The Father's physical Voice loud and clear. It is a prophetic Word He spoke to them. They heard Him, and now they understand clearly what it is He meant.

Show Me You Lord

Exodus 33:13

"Now therefore, I pray You, if I have found favor in Your sight, show me now Your way, that I may know You [progressively become more deeply and intimately acquainted with You, perceiving and recognizing and understanding more strongly and clearly] and that I may find favor in Your sight. And [Lord, do] consider that this nation is Your people."

When I pray, usually it is just talking to Jesus because I know He Hears me. It really is wonderful to use up all your 10,000 words a day on Him!

Lord I want to know You as You Know me.

Earth's Issues, Not God's Reality

Mark 16:17-19

"And these attesting signs will accompany those who believe: in My name they will drive out demons; they will speak in new languages;

They will pick up serpents; and [even] if they drink anything deadly, it will not hurt them; they will lay their hands on the sick, and they will get well.

So then the Lord Jesus, after He had spoken to them, was taken up into heaven and He sat down at the right hand of God."

Here we choose to Stand up, walk, and take charge of our faith in What Jesus came and did before us. While we are doing this, Then Heaven's Action on what we Believe, goes into effect. 

The Kingdom of God's, Is Alive in you by faith in what Jesus Is for All Eternity. He Is Seated there as God's Right Hand Man.

"Really"

Galatians 3:7

"Know and understand that it is [really] the people [who live] by faith who are [the true] sons of Abraham."

Here, in Galatia, the Galalian's were being made confused by Judaizers, who were teaching the gentile Believer's, that they were not really saved, unless, they obeyed the Jewish Law.

Paul started out in his letter telling the people he ministered to, that his gospel he preached to them he did by God's authority from God Himself.

You "Really," can't get anymore saved then The Holy Spirit raising your spirit from a spiritual dead like sleep. You can't "Really," get anymore of God, then Jesus living and alive in your spirit, soul and body, by The Holy Spirit Quickening Him There. You can't "Really," get anymore authority then God's Holy Spirit dwelling in you by Faith that Even There Is A Holy God, and His Son Who was sent to take your place in judgment of being a sinner by Adam's rebellion, wants to be your Savior...."Really..."

Me and My Shepherd Beloved

Song of Songs 2:12-17:

"The flowers appear on the earth; the time of the singing [of birds] has come, and the voice of the turtledove is heard in our land.

The fig tree puts forth and ripens her green figs, and the vines are in blossom and give forth their fragrance.Arise, my love, my fair one, and come away.

[So I went with him, and when we were climbing the rocky steps up the hillside, my beloved shepherd said to me] O my dove, [while you are here] in the seclusion of the clefts in the solid rock, in the sheltered and secret place of the cliff, let me see your face,let me hear your voice; for your voice is sweet, and your face is lovely.

[My heart was touched and I fervently sang to him my desire] Take for us the foxes, thelittle foxes that spoil the vineyards [of our love], for our vineyards are in blossom.

[She said distinctly] My beloved is mine and I am his! He pastures his flocks among the lilies.

[Then, longingly addressing her absent shepherd, she cried] Until the day breaks and the shadows flee away, return hastily, O my beloved, and be like a gazelle or a young hart as you cover the mountains [which separate us]."

Just picture this; your Shepherd Beloved coming over a mountain clothed in Clouds, riding on them on a White Horse, and nothing can ever separate you From Him again, not anything ever again. He causes my flowers to bloom and blossom, He makes the grapes on my vine rich with no blight on them. My Beloved Is mine, He Has No other one in His Eye Sight but His Bride... Me... And My Beloved are One...Ness...

Come Nations Let's Talk

Joel 3:11-13

"Hasten and come, all you nations round about, and assemble yourselves; there You, O Lord, will bring down Your mighty ones (Your warriors).

Let the nations bestir themselves and come up to the Valley of Jehoshaphat, for there will I sit to judge all the nations round about.

Put in the sickle, for the [vintage] harvest is ripe; come, get down and tread the grapes, for the winepress is full; the vats overflow, for the wickedness [of the peoples] is great."

The Lord Will soon come get me! He has made me His mighty Warrior with cloth of White, His Glory Behind me pushing me forward into A Battle of His Making...

Kingdom Was Given To The Saints

Daniel 7:13-19:

"I saw in the night visions, and behold,on the clouds of the heavens came One like a Son of man, and He came to the Ancient of Days and was presented before Him.

And there was given Him [the Messiah] dominion and glory and kingdom, that all peoples, nations, and languages should serve Him. His dominion is an everlasting dominion which shall not pass away, and His kingdom is one which shall not be destroyed.

As for me, Daniel, my spirit was grieved and anxious within me, and the visions of my head alarmed and agitated me.

I came near to one of those who stood there and asked him the truth of all this. So he told me and made known to me the interpretation of the things.

These four great beasts are four kings who shall arise out of the earth.

But the saints of the Most High [God] shall receive the kingdom and possess the kingdom forever, even forever and ever.

Then I wished to know the truth about the fourth beast—which was different from all the others, exceedingly terrible and shocking, whose teeth were of iron and its nails of bronze, which devoured, broke and crushed, and trampled what was left with its feet—"

We all with Daniel wish to know the Truth...

Asking Jesus to tell us in our Day of His Coning, what is The Truth for us...

Mercy Higher Then The Clouds

Psalms 36:5-7

"Your mercy and loving-kindness, O Lord, extend to the skies, and Your faithfulness to the clouds.

Your righteousness is like the mountains of God, Your judgments are like the great deep. O Lord, You preserve man and beast.

How precious is Your steadfast love, O God! The children of men take refuge and put their trust under the shadow of Your wings."

Is Jesus called The Word? Where Is It Spoken of by The Holy Spirit, to All Who will Believe, that Christ Jesus Is God Come in The flesh?

If It Is Written, You Can trust He Is Faithful to keep His Word, and judge us according to Jesus' Finished Work at The Cross, and preserve you and your beasts.

Clouds And Thick Darkness

Proverbs 25:14

"Whoever falsely boasts of gifts [he does not give] is like clouds and wind without rain."

Talking about Clouds today. In the Word it refers to them as, "dust under Jesus' Feet..." Many of the men of God that spoke by His Spirit, has lighten clouds as being a Covering for Him as well. That The Lord wraps them around Him. Also, that He commands them; Isaiah 5:6.

In The Day of His appearance, He will ride them, Matthew 24:30. 

Clouds are synonymous with Jesus! Rain and clouds are liken to gifts with substance in them. That is what I will be sharing about out of Proverbs 25:14, someone saying or teaching about Jesus' Love and Power to make you free, but does not release it to the captive... Or, let me say it like this, take a person in a locked up place, and they can see and hear you through a narrow hole. You are loudly shouting to them I have the Way of your escape, hope is here I have the key that unlocks this door and your freedom is on the other side. Here

It is in my hands I have been given authority to unlock this door for you.... On and on you go with shouting The Truth that you have, and you do have it, but never unlock the door. You just tell them about the key in your hand!

That is what Proverb was talking about...

That Day will be a thick darkness to them and you as Zephaniah said;

Zephaniah 1:15

"That day is a day of wrath, a day of distress and anguish, a day of ruin and devastation, a day of darkness and gloom, a day of clouds and thick darkness,"

Because you told the Truth but did not live it out what you knew was The Truth.

Be Ready For Overcoming

John 16:33

I have told you these things, so that in Me you may have [perfect] peace and confidence. In the world you have tribulation and trials and distress and frustration; but be of good cheer [take courage; be confident, certain, undaunted]! For I have overcome the world. [I have deprived it of power to harm you and have conquered it for you.]

"In Me you may have perfect peace."

We are aware of troubles, but Jesus has overcome that by His Word spoken to us by His Holy Spirit. We, the Believer, in What Christ has done, lives out these truths hid with Christ (Him stripping Satan in hell) in God. Making an open show of His Glory to all men, Him letting them know and understand His Peace, and Him Being The Prince of Peace.

Live In This Light my friends,
