OUR VISION WITH PURPOSE AND PRAYER

Testing Our purpose is 5 fold and directed to the Body of Christ:

(1) To teach and proclaim the whole "undiluted" Word of God  that through the reverential fear of the Lord, and as the eyes of our understanding are flooded with light, He may grant unto us a spirit of wisdom and revelation in the deep and intimate knowledge of Him  

(2) To clarify and define the Inheritance freely given to us by God so we may know the hope of His high calling and possess this rich inheritance bought and paid for in His covenant blood

(3) To clarify the differences between The Law and The Kingdom, so that we may know the true righteousness of Christ

(4) To teach and identify the walk of the Spirit so that; believers can become complete and whole in their everyday life experiences

(5) To express and explore together, the height, length, depth and breadth of The Father's love.

 These are our goals and with the HOLY SPIRIT'S lead; we will step by step, precept upon precept fulfill our calling to the Body of Christ by God's grace. You will be encouraged and confronted in your mind, will and emotions as the Holy Spirit ministers to you through this site. We believe that God has a beautiful plan for your life with a specific purpose for you to fulfill. As we set Him at the Chief Place in our hearts, we will find His wisdom and grace together.

!!! God not only bless you; but I also pray that; He gives you a clear and purposeful direction for you life !!!

MONTHLY THOUGHTS AND NEW ARTICLES:

                       Reasoning with Godly wisdom

In James 3:13-18 James describes the difference between God's wisdom at work in a born again Christian's life verses; them thinking and operating in their fleshly undisciplined self. He states. "Who has the knowledge and the ability to be a wise man in you particular arena of life? If he is really wise; he will show it out of a good conversation with Godly works and having the quiet nature of wisdom.

However; if you are resentful over other people's success and there is a conflict (strife) going on in your heart, don't be feeling pleased about it because; you are lying against the word of God. This type of wisdom does not come from God but; it is earthly, carnal (pertaining to a person's un-god like self centeredness) and devilish in nature. (Full of mischief)

However; wisdom from above is 1. pure, then 2.peaceable, 3.gentle, and 4.easy to be entreated, 5.full of mercy and 6.good fruits, 7.with out partiality, (unfair preferences for one person or another) and without 8.hypocrisy, (Meaning, having a false front or pretense of having admirable principles, beliefs, or feelings.) And the fruit of righteousness is sown in peace of those who are going about making peace."

We must lay a solid foundation in our life if; we are going to explore God's wisdom. We start with James last verse when he said; the fruit of righteousness. Our understanding of our righteous position in Christ must be firmly in place in our mind and heart if; we are going to bear any fruit and prosper in what ever we put our hand to. The fruit of righteousness came by God's DNA (which is His hereditary characteristics) that was impregnated into our heart and we received God's nature. When this miracle took place; we became a born again child of God. This is when; Jesus became our brother and God became our Father. Mankind can not have any true Godly wisdom if; he does not have the wisdom maker who is the Holy Ghost living in him because; only He reveals God's wisdom to His children.

With out God's righteousness being the motivating source in our life; there can be no sowing of peace in any setting. Righteousness is the actual life of Christ having His full way in our life and it takes place as we; totally surrender to the Holy Ghost‘s influence in all of our decision making. When this miracle took place; we became born again and it changed us into a new created being by God and we became pure and righteous in His sight.

1. Pure:
This is the first characteristic of Godly wisdom that must be in place in our understanding if; we are truly going to be wise and show God's characteristics in our daily travels to the world. Jesus said this in Math. 6:33 "Seek first the kingdom of God and His righteousness and all things shall be added to your life." The word for seek in the Greek Concordance is zeteo: meaning, having a desire to worship God and having an urgent need to search for something that is hidden. The good news gospel is only hidden to those who are not seeking God's righteousness or not being taught the true meaning of it. By experiencing our righteousness; it reveals to us how the kingdom of God is supposed to operate in our life and our hunger for God increases.

Only a born again believer can experience the righteousness of God and our carnal nature (our physical needs or appetites, which is in contrast with God's Spirit that now lives in us) no longer has control over our life because; we have become a new created being by God. We must truly be able to identify the difference between our carnal nature verses our righteous position in Christ if; we are going to operate in the wisdom of God. Our salvation miracle took place because; the power of God to made amends for us by sending His son Jesus to the cross as an offering for our sinful carnal nature that we were born with. In turn; our old carnal nature dies with Jesus at the cross. Now; God's wisdom tells us this and if we intend to mature; we have to make a choice whether to believe this or not. When we do not believe this or don't understand it; the outcome is; we end up living in self pride and there are no Godly purposes at work in our life.

Truly understanding our new righteous nature means; you totally believe that; you are blameless ( pure in God's sight), free from any kind of evil and set apart from the world to do the same works as Jesus did when He walked the earth. The Holy Ghost is patient and has to constantly persuade us of our righteous position in Christ because; we are constantly being bombarded daily by outward thoughts and circumstances to believe that; we have to try harder to be accepted by God and clean up our act to earn His favor.

It is by us being totally persuaded that we are pure and set apart with God's power with a calling on our life; that will give us the diligence to search for Godly wisdom to complete this vision and task given to us by God. Only diligent God seekers will be able to define God's true nature and love that He has for His children. Wisdom coming from God is an extension of His own nature and; His thoughts and our thoughts should be becoming one thought. Only good fruits or acts can be reaped by the Spirit of God's nature at work in our lives and not by any charitable acts done by us.

2. Peaceable:
By us having peace in our relationship with God; we will be at peace with our self. There can be no denial or walls between our Savior and our self. We must live in the light of God's counsel at all times and have no hidden agendas that are contrary to His wisdom. God's true children must trust and surrender them selves daily; to God's new thoughts and ways that He is revealing to them. God's wisdom tells us; not to worry or be afraid for anything. But in all situations; we should approach Him at all times with strong tears, passion and with a thankful heart and let our requests be known to Him. He promises that; the out come of this petitioning will produce; a peace that will go beyond our own reasoning and it will keep our heart and mind at peace. However; this again can only be accomplished through Christ's righteous Spirit at work in us.

The spirit of peace is an extension of God's characteristics that we received when we became His children. Prior to our born again experience; there was no peace between God and his creation because of the wall that existed between God and His creation due to Adam and Eve's disobedience in The Garden of Eden. We inherited this condition and our accepting Jesus sacrifice on the cross; tore down this wall and we can now with out shame or guilt enter God's courts with thanksgiving and praise because; we are no longer being judged by Him of being guilty and illegitimate.

When we try to reason with our natural mind on what I have said here; it makes no sense because; how do you actually go into heaven and go into God's court and have a running conversation with Him. Walking with Godly wisdom and allowing the Holy Ghost's thoughts to flow through our heart and mind; makes us aware of another dimension called; walking in the spirit. This atmosphere of thinking and truly hearing the Holy Ghost's voice; makes us walk in heavenly places with Christ Jesus because; the kingdom of God is already alive with in us.

3. Gentle:
For a person to be gentle; they have to take something that belongs to or is associated with somebody else for them self, especially without permission. We do not need permission to ask God for the power to be gentle. For this is God's own character alive in us just as if; Jesus Him self was at work in the believers life. Gentleness has a meek characteristic that goes with it. Jesus said in Math. 11:29 "I am meek and lowly in heart and learn of me." As we function in this meekness characteristic given to us by God; it causes us to rest under the burdens and fears that at times makes us live with a survivor mode mentality. However; this only comes by a total surrendering of self and believe that; we have a loving Father who does not lie and can be trusted.

4. Easy to be intreated:
The word intreated in the Greek is eulogetos: It means to be blessed, to speak well of, to invoke a blessing on and having an attitude of saying well done.

This is indeed a mouthful. Who do you know in your life that constantly wants to bless you in spite of your struggles and feeling at times that; you are a second rate citizen as God's child. This intreating relationship between God and His creation started in the Garden of Eden with Adam and Eve when; God would weave His Spirit like a wind or breathe into Adam and Eve's mind and they had a quick understanding of God's thoughts. This relationship that they had was a continual dialogue with God at all hours of the day or night.

Our spirit and God's spirit has been welded together for ever because of our born again experience and as we talk with Holy Ghost; you can't help but become more like Christ. Experiencing God's love; brings with it security and a persuasion that you are His beloved children in whom He is well pleased with at all times.

We are living at a time when the wisdom of the world and all its many persuasions are deceiving many including a large majority of the born again church. I have never seen in my seventy years on this planet such an anti - christ spirit running ramped and trying to throw the presence of God totally off the planet. If ever God's kids need to hear there Father's intreating them as to His concern and holding power of love; it was never more needed then it is today.

5. Full of mercy:
God is over flowing with compassion and (He is sympathetic for the suffering of others with a focused attention and desire to help.) Now; if we are really going to feel this compassion; we must taste and be finding out that the Lord is good. I eat at God's table every chance I get and I find myself always hungry wanting to taste more of His love and goodness. God's mercy is always willing at all times to instruct His children so that; they can walk with freedom in His presence. God's wisdom is His word being interpreted to our heart by the Holy Ghost. A child of God must have the life style of meditating on the word of God night and day. I did not say reading the bible night and day. A meditater is one who has an inner awareness that their relationship with God is very real. This is the same whirl wind relationship that Adam and Eve had in the Garden of Eden.

The bible is God's last will and testament that he gave to His children and His mercy gave us the Holy Ghost; who has the wisdom to secure our soul. So when Paul gives us a word of wisdom from scripture on the type of mercy God has; we had better believe it and get an inner witness from the Holy Ghost that he is speaking directly to us when; we need an encouraging word.

Paul says this in Hebrews 4:12-16. I will paraphrase. " The word of God is quick and powerful and sharper then a two edged sword showing us the difference between our thoughts verses God's thoughts, which gives us good judgment because we are receiving wisdom from the Holy Ghost. There is no creature or thing on earth that is hidden from Him as we open our self up in communicating our inner thoughts with Him. Having this type of relationship will give you an inner witness that; you have a Great High Priest (as a mediator) that has entered heaven, Jesus the Son of God. Therefore; let us hold fast to our profession in faith with tenacity.

For we do not have a High Priest that can not be touched with the feelings of our lack of strength; but was in all ways tempted as we are; yet with out sinning. We truly must have an inner witness of this if; we are going to draw near to the throne of grace; so that we might receive his mercy and find grace to help in our time of need." Walking in our righteous Spirit in Christ is what gives us the witness and the ability of what Paul was saying here.

I believe that King David said it best "Goodness and mercy shall follow me all the days of my life because; I have learned to practice the presence of God in my life."
