If you are sitting under a teaching philosophy of regimented laws of strict obedience which has put the responsibility to work out your maturity with your own efforts; you need to run for your life and find a church that preaches only a grace message or you will never be able to reign as Christ intended you to. Our maturity strictly depends on us having a reverential fear of the Lord that gets the job done. The same as how Jesus went to God in His travels when he walked the earth petitioning His Heavenly Father.

Paul tells us this in Hebrews 12:22-29 and I will comment between verses. "You have come to Mount Zion and to the city of the living God, the heavenly Jerusalem, with its thousands of angels. After we have had our born again experience and have been ushered into the realm of God's kingdom; it will take time to comprehend these new surroundings as we will be like a child in a toy shop. This should be our living reality of being brought up in the reverential fear of the Lord.

You have come to the joyful gathering of God's first-born, whose names are written in heaven. When we are having our daily encounters with the Holy Ghost; it is joyful as we experience God's unconditional favor and let's remember our self that; it is us experiencing what the bible defines as unspeakable joy that protects us from the world of demonic activity that wants to engage and mesmerize us to not stay focused on who we are in Christ Jesus.

You have come to God, who is the judge of all people, and to the spirits of good people made perfect. God is the final and only judge of what he created and what he intended for mankind. A person who lives with reverence is child like and knows how to surrender to a higher power that he learns to trust and cast all his cares of life on because; he is constantly learning that; his Heavenly Father never disappoints and never lies and His promises are always yes and amen.

Jesus told the rich man in the book of Matthew chapter 16 that; "there was no man that did good but God." It is man's thinking that judges from a stand point of good and evil and to the out ward appearance in man's thinking that seems right however; that is stinking thinking as far as God is concerned. There have been plenty of people who I have met over the years that are giving, caring, and want to do good however; a person who is growing in the admonitions of the Lord can not violate and allow their personal opinion to go against God's convictions and live by this philosophy.

Unless a person has been born again and become a child of God; they have not yet been made perfect because; only Christ Jesus is the perfect one who never sinned and God who is now our Father is raising us with the same likeness of His first born again Son. I pray I have not lost anybody up until now and the Holy Ghost is giving you the reality of what is being said at this very moment.

You have come to Jesus, who arranged the new covenant, and to the sprinkled blood that promises much better things than does the blood of Abel. Jesus is the way the truth and the life and no man comes to the throne of God the Father accepts through Him. A born again child of God must be taught this new covenant that they entered into the day they became God's child. I have on the web site a whole article on our covenant with God and how it works; read it for your self.

Be careful, then, and do not refuse to hear him who speaks. Those who refused to hear the one who gave the divine message on earth did not escape. How much less shall we escape, then, if we turn away from the one who speaks from heaven! His voice shook the earth at that time, but now he has promised. Simplifying this; a person can not be careful when they do not understand what kingdom living is all about. John tells us in the book of Revelations that; "those who have an ear let them hear what the Holy Ghost is saying to God's church or his family."

I will once more shake not only the earth but heaven as well. The words once more plainly show that the created things will be shaken and removed, so that the things that cannot be shaken will remain. People who are hearing what the Holy Ghost is saying to their inner man; are going through a reconstruction period of God erasing false doctrine from their inner thoughts and replacing it with the loving presence of Him self. Can you relate to this process taking place in you life? It encourages me when I see the scales of unrighteous teachings being shaken loose from God's children and they are truly beginning to comprehend the great freedom they have to express them self before God with no shame and burdensome obligated service that they were taught by well meaning teachers causing them to live as slaves to man made doctrines of devils.

Let us be thankful, then, because we receive a kingdom that cannot be shaken. Let us be grateful and worship God in a way that will please him, with reverence and awe; because our God is indeed a destroying fire."

A true heart of thankfulness only comes by having an inner confidence that this is taking place. The more we understand this kingdom we entered into; the greater security we will have to take our rightful place at God's side. It is as we abandon our self and live under Christ's shadow that makes us come to God with uplift hearts and hands to Him in anticipation of Him picking us up and daily showing us what we have inherited from Him as His children.

Continuing in talking about our justification and not knowing who is reading this article; I know that if a person is a God seeker looking for a higher wisdom then their own than; they are being shaken loose by the Holy Ghost of any thoughts in working out their salvation that does not agree with God's way of chastising his children.

So because I know that; I first want to define from scripture what Paul said to the Galatian church because; they had fallen back from their freedom in Christ Jesus and started to live by certain rules like having to be circumcised to stay saved. Our undisciplined and child like understanding of the love that God has for us has a lack of trust and it will always cause us to lean to their own understanding. This is what our true fight of faith has always been about. It is indeed sad that there are many pulpits teaching that God's attitude is "Do it my way son or hit the high way."

God is love and we are told to love the brethren however; it makes me mad when I hear and see some of this lack of love settings being demonstrated on these many TV programming and know the saints of God are being beaten. Now Paul says this in Galatians 5:1-9 to these Galatian saints to correct their obligated thinking that they had to perform this ritualism of circumcision to stay in God's graces.

Paul states, "Freedom is what we now have because; Christ has set us free! Therefore stand as free people, and do not allow your selves to become slaves again. Listen! I, Paul, tell you that if you allow yourselves to be circumcised, it means that Christ is of no use to you at all. Once more I warn any man who allows himself to be circumcised that he is obliged to obey the whole Law.

Those of you who try to be put right with God by obeying the Law have cut yourselves off from Christ. You are outside God's grace. As for us, our hope is that God will put us right with him; and this is what we wait for by the power of God's Spirit working through our faith.

For when we are in union with Christ Jesus, neither circumcision nor the lack of it makes any difference at all; what matters is faith that works through love. You were doing so well! Who made you stop obeying the truth? How did he persuade you? It was not done by God, who calls you. It takes only a little yeast to make the whole batch of dough rise, as they say."

If you study the history of Christianity and all the denomination that are man made over the years; it has become a smorgasbord of countless laws of one kind or another that started in the Catholic church which I personally believe Peter was the founding father of with the good news gospel that Christ Jesus is the rock of salvation and not Peter the Apostle. Down through the years their ignorant human nature has added hundreds of man made obligated laws that when you compare it with the truth of God's word it is unrecognizable. Ignorance of God's word in a person's life is the enemy that brings a person into bondage to serving the will of doctrines of devils.

I was raised in a Catholic home and all of my family was staunch Catholics. I was a alter boy for four years, went to a Catholic grade and high school, my aunt was a nun and my cousin was a priest however; I was told that I was a sinner and had to continually repent and work at staying in a state of grace or if I died with mortal sin in my life I was going to hell. Thank God He sent a man into my life at twenty five and he made me understand that; it wasn't important what denomination I belong to but that; I had to be become born again and accept Jesus as my savior. I had a born again experience in my automobile by confessing to my wife that Jesus had forgiven me of all my sins and I had a miracle conversion and became a new creature in Christ and was delivered from a shame based gospel of God loves me when I do this and he doesn't love me when I do that.

When Christ made Him self real to me; I went about doing my Heavenly Father's business by a inner urge of sharing Christ with my immediate family and the leading by the Holy Ghost and they had a born again experience as I did. That included my wife and children, my mother and father, my three brothers and many of my aunts and uncles over a six year period. I never knew at that time that; Satan had been at work in other denominations distorting and putting demanding laws on people like in some denominations; a woman can not wear lipstick or there are certain foods you can not eat etc. This holds back the grace of God in people's life making them feel that; they have spot's and wrinkles meaning; failures in their life and God had something against them. This condemnation judging spirit is running ramped in the body of Christ today.

Paul had to remind the Colossian church as he did the Galatian church because; they were also getting side tract with man made doctrines when he told them this in Col. 2:20-23 "Since you died with Christ to the elemental spiritual forces of this world, why, as though you still belonged to the world, do you submit to its rules: "Do not handle! Do not taste! Do not touch!"? These rules, which have to do with things that are all destined to perish with use, are based on merely human commands and teachings.

Such regulations indeed have an out ward appearance of wisdom, with their self-imposed worship, their false humility and their harsh treatment of the body, but they lack any value in restraining sensual indulgence." Thank God however; he is raising up grace preachers and God is using them to set His people free. I don't now how many times I have said this already. No grace in operation in a person life; we have nothing but abuse of God's children.

It is by us experiencing God's grace which is His unmerited favor that empowers us to obey His leadings. We must not be led astray and become preoccupied and get side tracked with our ordinary daily chores because; it takes discipline and persistency to develop "God Consciousness." We sometimes, disregard that inner voice of the Holy Spirit, and get caught up in judging our Christian growth by how obedient we are to the laws of God. As I have said; this is the core reasoning where sin comes from which is self judgment. The devil uses this evil persuasion on our mind and it makes us feel ashamed and unworthy to enter into the throne room of God behind which once was a veil we could not enter because of us not being a born again believer. There are throngs of good church going people who have no clue as what being born again represents in a person's life and they try to serve God from a distance.

God doesn't look at our outward behavior or mannerisms as men do. He looks at the intents of our heart. God is in the heart healing business and not in the faultfinding business. For most people, their behavior is controlled by them trying to obey God's laws, not because of its intended purpose, but because of the fear of the consequences if they don't.

No one can capture the favor of God by trying to keep his commandments.

Jesus tells us, "If a person really loves me, he will keep my commandments." However; blind obedience without love will maintain order, but does nothing to enhance a loving relationship. Blind obedience without recognizing its value is destined for failure. Love gives the reason to obey and gives us value and worth. The hungering heart will seek with Passion the kingdom of God. The complacent heart (those who are self-satisfied and unaware of possible dangers) will grow restless in their walk with the Lord. So now knowing what justification is not, let's describe what it is and how we must participate with it. Cont. in p. 3
