: Our power to live the Christian life is in God’s word:

This causes them to have no tenacity to search the scriptures and spend time in the secret place with the Holy Ghost which allows Him to plant the word of God deep into their subconscious mind. This is a two step process of asking God to check out our heart and then we will want to meditate on the word day and night. With out this taking place one can forget about maturing and having our steps ordered by the Lord as David said in Psalms 37:23 because; we must be delighting in His word. When one delights in something; they fine it a pleasurable experience and it is this atmosphere of interacting with the Holy Ghost that keeps us focused on living in his presence with passion.

The word for sin in the Greek is defined as a person not functioning in the inheritance that God our Father gave them the day they became born again from above. This meaning that; they are making decisions that are contrary to God’s kingdom principles and missing their allotted portion from God of how they are to live a victories Christian life. We do not condemn people who are living in this unrighteous Christian life style; but through patience and prayer we try to persuade them to surrender to God and believe that God in some way will cause them to repent; which will allow them to sense God’s love and forgiveness. There are many Christians who are living in some sever bondages and it must be a miracle by God taking place with in them that will set them free from these behaviors that are ruling and destroying their life. We are talking here about born again blood washed children of God.

The world is running down to the end of this age as we know it because; the scripture state that when certain things come to pass; we can recognize these times. If you listen to the news and walk as an informed person trying to find your purpose and at times lapse back in to a survivorship mentality to stay above water, it has to be a scary thing to see the corner stone of this country falling away from the true Christian values of the inspired word of God. The abortion issue, gay rights, people interpreting scripture and stating that there must be a division between church and state. Wars, rumors of wars, earthquakes, hurricanes, famine in countries and pestilences like aids.

All of this is stated in scripture as the perils of the last days coming to pass. The born again church is referred to as a movement rather then the true born again church of Christ; that has become a new creature in Christ because; a miracle takes place when they became born again through accepting Christ as their Savior, where signs and wonders are to follow them because; the Holy Ghost is operating as he wills in their life.

We have born again believers running for office and those that are not born again. I don’t believe in all my years have I seen such confusion and uncertainty as to the future of this country or of mankind. Have we gone to the extreme of leaning to our own understanding and finally gotten away from what our Christian heritage is founded on and represents as far as God is concerned.

The world as I perceive it is a freight car running wide open and the bridge is out up ahead. For the true born again believer we must spend some passionate intensity in seeking the face of God in prayer and allow the Holy Ghost to put things back in order by those who want and understand that the “ effectual reverent prayers of a righteous man avails much in the ears of God.” It is this verse of scripture that will turn this world around.

The sad and dangerous thing that bothers me is; most of the born again churches doesn’t even understand what being righteous in Christ means. When this happens; their awareness or vision of the conditions that they are living in is not clearly seen because of the ignorance and lack of meditating on God’s word. It also takes place because; they do not know how to go to the secrete place right into the throne room of God with a hunger and passion in seeking God’s presence and wisdom.

Not putting God as the first love of your life and being disciplined in reading and meditating on God’s word and having a loving relationship with the Holy Ghost means; a wasted life of trivial pursuits that have no eternal rewards when we go to be with the Lord. In turn, the born again Christian lives a life of trying to survive rather then living with the rich abundance of what they have inherited from God their Father.

I have come to the conclusion from all the people that I have met over the last forty some years, that there are more Christians living in an unconscious spiritual lethargy and it can only be because; they have no vision of who they are in Christ. It is a sad and grieves state of affairs how the devil has blinded God’s children of their rightful place and authority as Kings and Priests in the service of God our Father.

The Apostle Peter in 1 Peter 3:4 states this. “Let it be the inward adorning and beauty of the hidden person of the heart, with the incorruptible and unfading charm of a gentle and peaceful spirit, which is not anxious or disturbed, but is very precious in the sight of God.” How precious do you feel in God’s sight?

In the Greek Concordance the word for hidden is krupto: meaning concealed and covered. Scripture tells us that we who are born again are to be hidden in Christ. Paul tells us in Romans 13:14 to “But clothe yourself with the Lord Jesus Christ the Messiah, and make no provision for [indulging] the flesh [put a stop to thinking about the evil cravings of your physical nature] to [gratify its] desires lusts.” When something is hidden it becomes obscure or concealed as if something is wrapped around it. It also means, to endow somebody by investing in them a quality that by them staying passive; they can allow some one else to empower and give them a passion to do their will. This is how we live by the faith (of) Jesus rather then a belief (in) Jesus. Think about this statement and ask yourself if you understand it. When we live by the faith of Jesus we are empowered by His life. When we live with a mentality of in Jesus; we live outside of our righteous white robe that covers our old man nature that Jesus died for.

Paul the Apostle in Phil. 1:21 said this. “For me to live is Christ. His life in me; and to die is gain- (the gain of the glory of eternity.) Ask yourself; are you letting the Holy Ghost have His perfect way by letting Him live his life through you or are you still trying to work hard at measuring up so God will love you and in turn; you will be able to receive his favor?

Now this word lusts that this scripture talks about takes on many forms. It can be living in worry of how to survive and pay your bills. It can be trying to keep up with the Jones. It could be a drive to become a control freak and wheel power in you particular arena of life. It can be an addiction to anything that is contrary to the nature of God as his child. We must understand that this is a demonic manipulation of our heart and this happen because; we do not understand or have never been taught what it means to put on or clothe ourselves with the Lord Jesus Christ.

God put on us a clean white robe which is Jesus himself (Jesus own Righteous spirit) the day we became born again and as long as we focus on our white robe; we will be able to hide the old man who was sin conscience before we became the new creature in Christ Jesus and in turn the word of God can be planted deep with in our heart. A person who is hiding has two choices.

He can either hide by living in denial or he can allow God to flow his righteous spirit threw them and stay hidden in Christ and focus on their righteous position and sainthood that the Holy Ghost is trying to show them. A born again believer automatically becomes a saint the day they become born again. You don’t have to do miracles and earn that position as the Catholic Church teaches.

Paul tells us to run the race that God has set before us and to not look back. Most Christians are addicted to looking under their white robes and are judging themselves with their sins of the past, present and the fear of committing more sins of the future. This mentality represents a demonic controlled thinking pattern in our mind and when this kind of philosophy is acted out; we take off the Lord Jesus Christ and become uncovered. When this happens; we do not stay hidden in Christ any longer with our white robe of righteousness. This is tragic because; it causes us to be in state of forever trying to learn about how the kingdom of God operates and never coming to the real truth of God’s way for us to deal with our lives. In turn, our kingdom walk with him is hindered and unfulfilling. The only way we can mature and walk in obedience to the Lord’s commands is to allow God’s grace to empower us to live the Christian life.

As I have said if we are living by Jesus faith; we are the same as He is.

Paul the Apostle tells us in Romans 14:17 that “The kingdom of God is righteousness, peace and joy in the Holy Ghost.” When we flow in God’s forgiving spirit of His grace, we could be living in some extreme uncomfortable trials but God’s grace will supply the joy we need to with stand the storms of life.

If we understand David the King’s life style, he was guilty of murder and adultery and yet he was a man after God’s own heart. These are some serious violations as far as representing God on this planet. I believe that he came to the conclusion that there was no good thing in his own nature and he had learned to rest heavily on God’s forgiving grace. We can live a continual every minute of the day life style of flowing in God’s grace. This is where we ask God to keep us in the palm of his hand as He does even though we mess up at times. Remember this process of forgiveness is between God and our selves and between our self with our self. There is a process that we go through to forgive our self from things we get involved in that destroys our peace and joy in the Holy Ghost. Let’s remember; we can’t escape from ourselves. We need to let go and let God as we abandon our selves to His grace and mercy.
