Everyone is Born with God’s Plan

You have been given a life here on earth with a plan from God that is specifically and designed with a good purpose if you should so choose it. We all have a choice of God’s plan or follow this world’s plan. God’s plan is based on His desire that none should perish, but to turn back to Him. 2 Peter 3:9 “The Lord is not slack concerning his promise, as some men count slackness; but is longsuffering to us-ward, not willing that any should perish, but that all should come to repentance.” Your soul has a choice of God’s Spirit or the things of this world, which is temporary and never completely satisfying. Let’s look into God’s plan, His ideas, and His thoughts for your life. First, let us take a look at what God is and the reason behind His plans.

WHAT IS GOD

God is the All Present Spirit and as example think of Him like the air around us. We know air is there, but we cannot see a physical form of air. The All Present Spirit of God cannot be seen in only one place. If air could form a single location for us to see it then we could go to that place to interact with even though it is still everywhere. This is what the All Present everywhere Spirit of God did. He centralized a form within Himself for all of creation to come visit and fellowship with Him. He called this place His Word. This is where we see the design God chose if He were to be of a solid form. This centralized place called His Word was were His thoughts, plans, and ideas created and generated all physical existence.

The All Present Spirit said, “…Let us make man…“. The “us” He is referring to is simply Him counseling with Himself. Eph. 1:11 “In whom also we have obtained an inheritance, being predestinated according to the purpose of him who worketh all things after the counsel of his own will:” This is where the beauty of God’s plan for us begins to unfold. He has a predestinated plan that He hopes we will choose that guarantees us a place with Him forever. Don’t forget the scripture telling us He does not want anyone to perish. The elements of the “…Let us…” are components of Spirit and of the Word. Going back to the air example how could we find God in the air of this world if He did not have an air form in a centralized location? It is the same with His All Present Spirit. He let His Word be the centralized location of His Godhead for all of creation to come and fellowship with Him.

If you and I were made of air only how would we find each other? We would need a body that houses our thoughts, plans, and ideas. God’s All Present Spirit needed a body if He were of solid form, which is what He formed us base on His image and likeness. God made us of His Spirit and of His Word from the dust of the earth. The making of you and I inside our mother’s womb came with God’s plan like a Father hoping His child will choose one day. No one is predestinated to go to hell. God gave us absolute power in the freedom of choice.

The “…Let us…” was the All Present Spirit speaking to His Spirit image and likeness if he were to be of a solid form. We know this image and likeness as the “Word“. The All Present Spirit made of Himself a spirit form and likeness if He were to be of a solid form as a central location for all creations to have a place to visit Him. It would be like the air creating a visible image and likeness in a certain location in the air of the earth for us to visit. This was God’s plan for all creation to know where to go to fellowship with Him.

God could not make man as a spirit everywhere because He alone One True All Present Spirit. This explains how He is the One True God because there are no numbers outside of Him and not enough numbers inside of Him to begin counting. God made man according to His image and likeness for a centralized location of fellowship. This is where the scripture explains Jn. 1:2 “In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God.” The “Word” is translated as the embodying (to give a body to a spirit) an idea, expressing and speaking the thoughts of God. God, the Father of Creation and the All Present Spirit gave Himself a centralized spiritual body as a centralized location for all creation to come and fellowship with Him. God could not stop being from everywhere.

The body God had in His Spirit, the Word, was the place He acted through with His ideas and expressing them in creating a place He called heaven along with the individual and diverse angels. This Spirit body He focused through had all His plans and ideas for all creations to come into physical existence. This reveals His embodied Word He said, Jn. 1:3 “All things were made by him; and without him was not any thing made that was made.” The “Word” is the embodiment of the All Present God, Father of Creation, expressing His thoughts, plans, and ideas. Without His Spirit body we could never find a centralized location to stand before Him just like the example of air on the earth where would we go?

YOU AND ALL OF MANKIND

God through His given Spirit body that contained His thought out plans for physical creations wanted children like unto His Word because they could not be children unto His All Present Spirit said, “…Let us make man in our image, after our likeness…” God took and created a dust image of Himself, not the All Present part, but of the Word part, from the earth. Just like His Word we all came with a plan. Gen. 2:7 “And the Lord God formed man of the dust of the ground…” This body of a man lying there made in an physical earth image and after His Word likeness had no life in it. There was a body, but no living plan inside it.

The body of man, God’s children in His image and likeness was only one tiny part of God’s Word. The body needed life and a plan. God doesn’t do anything that does not have a plan to it or function. His All Present Spirit had a plan for His embodied Word Spirit. Simply, a centralized location for all creations to come and fellowship with Him. How do you find the location of an All Present Spirit? You do not. The image and likeness lying there on the ground needed life and a plan to start a centralized location as one of God’s children. God walks in His Word and mankind will walk in his body. The earthly body houses the soul of mankind and the Word houses the All Present God’s thoughts, plans, and ideas.

Gen. 2:7 “And the Lord God formed man of the dust of the ground, and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life; and man became a living soul.” God’s breath breathed into that body of man came with life and a plan because that is what God is – a plan and life. After the breath of life entered the man and touched the body a living soul was born between the two. The first natural man created in the image and likeness of God came with an Adam plan God hoped he would freely choose. Adam woke up with God’s embodied breath/spirit of life, a good plan inside him, and a body to interact with all of creation just like the All Present Spirit of God wanted for Himself.

God wanted a centralized body to interact with all of creation and Adam was created to have a centralized body to interact with all of creation. This explains why God said, Gen. 1:26 “…and let them have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the fowl of the air, and over the cattle, and over all the earth, and over every creeping thing that creepeth upon the earth.” because He wanted Adam to be like Him not just in image, likeness, and form, but also in dominion. You could almost see God saying to Adam, I want you to be like Me interacting with this world like I interact with the spirit world, my son.

The breath of life came with a plan and idea God had for Adam to follow if he so chooses. Adam could choose from his soul to follow this spirit of life God gave him or he could follow the fleshly body. We all are born with the breath of life from God that comes with a specific plan and idea God has for us. We are born into sin, but we have a spirit of life with God’s plan that our soul can choose to follow one day or continue a fleshly path in this body of sin and corruption.

This explains the scriptures in Jer. 1:4 “Then the word of the Lord came unto me, saying,” v5 “Before I formed thee in the belly I knew thee; and before thou camest forth out of the womb I sanctified thee, and I ordained thee a prophet unto the nations.” God sent life into Jeremiah’s mother’s womb with a Jeremiah plan. A predestinated hope you choose plan from God not overriding the absolute power of choice for Jeremiah. Predestination is only set in the choice we make. It is the end result of that choice that is predestinated.

God said, “…I knew thee…” “before I formed thee in the belly…and before thou cames forth our of the wormb…” God’s spirit of life is the plan or idea God had for Jeremiah before his soul was born. The joining of the fleshly body and the breath of life inside his mother’s womb birthed the living soul called Jeremiah. This sounds like predestination, but only for the good. God’s plans and ideas for us are for us to choose to follow His spirit of life back to Him through Jesus Christ returning to the full fellowship once again He so desired, but we can still refuse God. God was and is 2 Peter 3:9 “…not willing that any should perish, but that all should come to repentance.” We are all like Jeremiah born with a purpose from God to our good if can deny following our sinful flesh. God will never deny us the free will choice of our soul. You can win against sin and return to the original plan God has for you through the power of Jesus Christ.

The key focus is that God sends us His spirit of life into the conception birthing an eternal individual soul between His spirit of life and the earthly body. Our soul has the free will choice in choosing between His spirit of life and the fleshly body. When the first two children of God, Adam and Eve, were created and did not listen to God’s warning about the tree of the knowledge of evil and followed their fleshly bodies caused evil sin to enter into them separating them from God created a passage of sin to all generations born unto them into this world. God did not stop sending His plans with your name on it in the hopes you would choose and not perish.

We know in Romans 3:23 “For all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God;“, but if you will notice throughout the Bible God did not take away the knowledge of good after they accepted the corrupting knowledge of evil, nor did God take away His spirit of life from Adam and Eve. They did not die on the spot with God removing his plans from them. God added His own Word plan as a seed of promised victory for another chance. All of mankind chooses by his own free will between God’s spirit of life and the flesh. The spirit of life has the good and specific plans God has for everyone of us and the flesh has the plans of selfish earthly lusts for us, but we need His redeeming power to return with strength to fulfill that plan through Jesus Christ.

This explains the scripture: Gal. 5:17 “For the flesh lusteth against the Spirit, and the Spirit against the flesh: and these are contrary the one to the other: so that ye cannot do the things that ye would.” This is a battle we live with every day before and after receiving the salvation of the Lord through Jesus Christ. This daily battle offsets us from doing the good things we would like to do. The flesh is the voice telling people they don’t need to be saved or do it some other time and the breath of life plan birthed at conception with out little body is hungry to fulfill the calling God planned for us in the beginning.

This battle distracts us from God’s good plans for us. We are all born with a plan inside the spirit of life just like Jeremiah customized to our God given abilities. We are stuck with the choice daily between the two. Rom. 8:5 “For they that are after the flesh do mind the things of the flesh; but they that are after the Spirit the things of the Spirit.” God allowed His spirit of life and the knowledge of good to remain in us against the flesh and the knowledge of evil until the day He could give us power to overcome sin through Jesus Christ. This connects us to Phil. 4:13 “I can do all things through Christ which strengtheneth me.”

Apostle Paul clearly points out the struggle we all face who want to do good. Rom. 7:18 “For I know that in me (that is, in my flesh,) dwelleth no good thing: for to will is present with me; but how to perform that which is good I find not.” v23 “But I see another law in my members, warring against the law of my mind, and bringing me into captivity to the law of sin which is in my members.” God has a good plan of life for you and the flesh has a bad plan for you on this earth sending your spiritual soul to a devil’s punishment that was never meant for you. You have the power of choice to follow the plan that will save or condemn your soul.

Apostle Paul helping us to see this battle clears up what we must do. Rom. 7:25 “I thank God through Jesus Christ our Lord. So then with the mind I myself serve the law of God; but with the flesh the law of sin.” v22 “For I delight in the law of God after the inward man:” Once we are born again of the water and of the Spirit we can have the power of Jesus Christ to win this battle daily by prayer and supplication. We can get back on track for the original good plan of God sent us in His spirit of life. How do we get back on track and reconnect to the plan God has for us? Let us look at the plan God inserted Himself in physical form to save us.

THE MAN – JESUS CHRIST

Everyone of us are sent the spirit of life at conception and in that spirit of life is God’s plan and idea of how He hopes we choose to be. Jeremiah chose that plan and God revealed to him he was on the right track because he chose the plan God had for him before he was physically conceived in his mother’s belly (Jer. 1:4, 5). Do you realize God has a good plan for you sitting inside your body right now? God, also, had a plan for Himself as a physical man in place for the sole purpose to save us and that none should perish after sin entered into mankind – His children. How important is God’s plans?

The All Present God is an All Knowing plan with the All Power to sustain it. God’s power is in the sun with the plans of light for all to see and feel. There is nothing in existence that does not have His Spirit, Knowledge, and Power sustaining it. This is no difference when it came to His Word form coming in the flesh of Jesus Christ. Col. 1:16 “For by him were all things created, that are in heaven, and that are in earth, visible and invisible, whether they be thrones, or dominions, or principalities, or powers: all things were created by him, and for him:” v17 “And he is before all things, and by him all things consist.”

Everywhere God is there is His plan. The Plan of Himself to have children made in His image and likeness brought forth the image of mankind to reflect His Spirit form. Nothing was created without the “him” form of Himself in mind if He were to be of a solid form. God could speak of “him” as though He was already Jesus Christ in fleshly form.

The All Present everywhere Spirit of God focused all physical and spiritual things through His Word. These scriptures are pointing out how powerful His Word that is inside the fleshly man called Jesus Christ. The Almighty God put the fulness of His plan inside the man Jesus Christ to set us completely free returning the status of being truly His children once again. God’s plans are in you and everything around us.

When God talks about the birth of the man Jesus He says, Jn. 1:1“In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God.” v2 “The same was in the beginning with God.” The Word is God and God is the Word. The Word is God’s thoughts, plans, and ideas. v14 “And the Word was made flesh, and dwelt among us, (and we beheld his glory, the glory as of the only begotten of the Father,) full of grace and truth.” The Word and God are the same with them being interchangeable retaining the same being. Why is this so important? It is the unstoppable plan of redemption God was going to accomplish for you and me personally.

Jesus the man was just like Jeremiah having a choice to follow the divine plan God had for them or follow the world. How do we know Jesus the man had a choice? I am glad you asked. Jesus the man said to God before he was arrested with chains, to be beaten, smacked, mocked, spit upon, tearing out his beard out, whipped with 40 stripes upon his back, a crown of thorns, and nailed to a cross by each hand and feet, Luke 22:42 “..if thou be willing, remove this cup from me: nevertheless not my will, but thine, be done.” Jesus the man had thoughts and feelings of another direction, but surrendered his all trusting fully as he had always done to “…not my will, but thine be done“.

Jesus the man wanted to be one with God’s plan. This understanding connects to Jn. 17:3 “And this is life eternal, that they might know thee the only true God, and Jesus Christ, whom thou hast sent.” The “…only true God…” is the All Present Spirit focused in the centralized “Word” form placed inside the man “Jesus Christ, whom…” God has sent with the plan to redeem mankind among many other revelations connecting us to life eternal. Seeing and perceiving the only true God and Jesus Christ the man brings life eternal. God sent Himself with His own plan inside Jesus the man for all of us to see, feel, and partake of so that none would perish.

Jn. 1:3 “All things were made by him; and without him was not any thing made that was made.” v4 “In him was life; and the life was the light of men.” The Word is “him” and God is “him“. God is an everywhere Spirit, but also He has a place within Himself that He would call a Godhead for our understanding. This would be based upon if He were to be of a solid form filled with His thoughts, plans, ideas, and patterns for physical creations.

Notice, He said, “In him was life; and the life was the light of men.” in verse 4. Another translation says, “In him was life, and that life was the light of all mankind.” The life and light that came on inside Adam was from the source of God’s thoughts, plans, and ideas He had for Adam. From God’s Word breathing into the body with the dust of the ground birthed from between them a living soul. God’s breath of life had Adam’s name on it in hopes like a father would want a son to choose, but Adam chose the earthly flesh sinning against God.

This is why the man Adam and the man Jesus Christ are different in birth. The body of Jesus inside the virgin Mary’s womb was birthed not by the breath/spirit of life like Adam. 1 Cor. 15:45 “…The first man Adam was made a living soul; the last Adam was made a quickening spirit.” Quickening means to make alive. When the Word was made flesh it was God Himself making alive all those who choose His words of life and of Spirit. The centralized Godhead of His thoughts, plans, and ideas were made alive in the man Jesus with God as the quickening Spirit. Jn. 6:63 “It is the spirit that quickeneth; the flesh profiteth nothing: the words that I speak unto you, they are spirit, and they are life.“

Jesus the man said, Jn. 10:30 “I and my Father are one.” You cannot separate and divide Jesus the man and the Father. God’s plan to bond with Jesus was the fulfilling goal of God to save mankind. Col. 2:8 “Beware lest any man spoil you through philosophy and vain deceit, after the tradition of men, after the rudiments of the world, and not after Christ.” v9 “For in him dwelleth all the fulness of the Godhead bodily.” The life inside of Jesus the man was not just the breath of life, but it was God, His Word, and His quickening Spirit. God was applying His plan of salvation personally to all of us through Jesus Christ the man. The man Jesus was one with God’s plan and God’s plan was one inside of Jesus the man. The man Jesus was one with God’s Word and the Word was one with Jesus the man fulfilling God will provide Himself a sacrifice for mankind.

We needed Jesus the man to be God in the flesh to save us eternally. Only God could save us from an eternal death with the devil and his demons. Our living eternal souls will leave these bodies of flesh and live eternally in one or another place. There is no choice because God designed heaven, earth, and hell for the devils, which ended up being a place for us because mankind sinned against God just like the fallen angels. None of the evil sides were God’s choice for us or the angels. They were out there for all to freely choose. Now, we need God to save us and open up another choice.

Salvation is simple, yet mankind has changed and clouded what God’s word was never meant to be changed. If you want to truly reconnect to the original plan God sent you with your name on it like Jeremiah. Then you must be born again of the water and of the Spirit just like Jesus said in the Gospel John chapter three. God gave those steps to the Apostle Peter to preach to mankind and it never changed, only mankind developed traditions in his own opinions against what God gave to the Apostle Peter.

God did not change the warning to eating the tree of the knowledge of evil bringing forth sin and death. It was the devil that changed and twisted God’s word. Do you think the devil has changed his tactics today? He is still promoting just believe and you won’t die. He is playing on false good intentions. You will be okay with God if you do this and that all the while skipping over the one and true scripture of salvation. He has convinced mankind some of the books of the Bible are just dead history books. Look over and look over there for salvation.

God has a specific and Bible given plan of salvation and all other plans fall under the umbrella of warning by the Apostle Paul when he said in Gal. 1:8 “But though we, or an angel from heaven, preach any other gospel unto you than that which we have preached unto you, let him be accursed.” The “…which we have preached…” is speaking of the days in the book of Acts when they preached God’s plan of salvation and “…let him be accursed” is a very scary thing for those rejecting to speak about God’s plan of salvation.

Do you see? It has been, still is today, and in the future all have to do with the “Plan“, the “Word“, and the “ideas” of God set into motion. Everything has a plan from God and a purpose to fulfill. 2 Cor. 13:8 “For we can do nothing against the truth, but for the truth.” On our part the original plan God has for us is based upon, if we choose to do so. For us to reconnect to that personal plan God has for us it starts with being born again the Bible way – God’s way, God’s plan.

Jesus fulfilled that plan by dying on the cross paying our debt owed, shedding his innocent blood for the washing away of our sins, being buried in a tomb burying our old man of sin, and coming back to life on the third day reconnecting our spirit to the original plan God had for us. 2 Peter 3:9 “The Lord is not slack concerning his promise…; but is longsuffering to us-ward, not willing that any should perish, but that all should come to repentance.“

Here is what God gave to the Apostle Peter in telling us how to be born again applying God’s plan of salvation. Acts 2:38 “Then Peter said unto them, Repent, and be baptized every one of you in the name of Jesus Christ for the remission of sins, and ye shall receive the gift of the Holy Ghost.” Again, this is where mankind changed it preaching other gospels outside of God’s original plan. This one scripture completely fulfills what Jesus said about being born again of the water and of the Spirit.

The three simple steps to be saved by God’s plan is to first “repent“. A determination not live the life of sin from your past to the present moment, and desiring to be free from the torment of sin. Basically, I don’t want to live this way anymore. Lord, set me free.

The second is being baptized “…in the name of Jesus Christ” submerged under water into the likeness of Jesus death and burial. The blood of forgiveness is inside the name of Jesus applying the power to wash away all your sins. Nothing can wash away our sins, nothing but the blood of Jesus. Nothing can make us whole again, nothing but the blood of Jesus.

The last step is to “…receive the gift of the Holy Ghost.” This is where you must stop and think about God Himself sending the power of His Holy Spirit through Jesus Christ to you. His plan is to gift you with His Holy Spirit making you a temple for His Holy Spirit to dwell until He brings you home to heaven. Your temple has been washed in the blood of the Lamb. God’s Spirit has always made it a known and unforgettable fact throughout the Bible when He comes down to powerfully dwell somewhere before all the people, but He is still showing powerfully Himself to this day when people receive His Holy Spirit inside of them.

As one example: 2 Chron. 5:14 “So that the priests could not stand to minister by reason of the cloud: for the glory of the Lord had filled the house of God.” The priests were standing on the outside. Can you imagine the glory of the Lord coming down and filling you on the inside? Would you be able to stand and act normal under the power of this God’s glory pouring deep inside your soul? It would be like Jesus told the woman at the well: Jn. 4:14 “But whosoever drinketh of the water that I shall give him shall never thirst; but the water that I shall give him shall be in him a well of water springing up into everlasting life.” God comes down inside you and the praise will come forth from you that can only be identified as the power of God Himself speaking. The powerful gift of the Holy Ghost will cause you to never thirst for anything else the devil or this world may offer you.

The born again with the gift of the Holy Ghost is God coming down renewing your spirit, making you His personal temple of fellowship and coming back out of you with your voice like a “…a well of water springing up into everlasting life” as a sign to those outside of you and to your own hearing that you have, without a doubt, born again of God’s Spirit. Acts 2:4 “And they were all filled with the Holy Ghost, and began to speak with other tongues, as the Spirit gave them utterance.” Same as the priests saw of old on a non-living building that could not react like a living building such as you and I – “…as the Spirit gave them utterance“. It is more than goose bumps on your arms and uncontrollable weaping. It is the power of God coming up out through your voice yielding your faith for God to proclaim Himself inside of you as a new creature in Christ. Acts 1:8 “But ye shall receive power, after that the Holy Ghost is come upon you…“

Now, you are completely born again and baptized into the body of Christ with no parts missing. 1 Cor. 12:13 “For by one Spirit are we all baptized into one body, whether we be Jews or Gentiles, whether we be bond or free; and have been all made to drink into one Spirit.” God’s plan was for all of salvation to be in the body of Jesus the man. This is why Jesus said, Jn. 14:6 “…no man cometh unto the Father, but by me.” We need to be completely inside the body of Jesus Christ as the ark of safety against the end times and death.

Everything is in the body of the man Jesus Christ and the application is all applied through the name of Jesus Christ. The blood, the death, the burial, and the resurrection are all in the name of Jesus. This is the plan of God and explains why Jesus said, Mtt. 28:18 “…All power is given unto me in heaven and in earth.” He said, “…unto me…” identifying all of salvation is him. The next scripture after this one explains the plan God had from the beginning into the present and onward into the our future this day.

In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth – the Father of Creation in Spirit form Gen. 1:1; Jn. 1:1,2. God came to the earth in a fleshly body of Jesus Christ – the Son of redemption Col. 2:9; Jn. 1:14. God can now come through Jesus Christ giving us His gift of Himself as His personal temple – the Holy Ghost of regeneration Acts 1:8; 1 Cor. 3:16; 2 Cor. 6:16; Titus 3:5,6. Jesus and God are one.

Mankind has created another path of salvation that is not the salvation plan God wanted. The traditions of man use Mtt. 28:19 “Go ye therefore, and teach all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost:” as a separate gospel and a separate plan of salvation. The Father of Creation came inside the body of Jesus as the fulness of His Godhead creating a fleshly mediator between us and His Spirit allowing a pathway for God to funnel through Jesus Christ His Holy Spirit directly into our bodies creating a temple of redemption and regeneration. As all the plan of salvation is in the body of Jesus Christ so is all the plan of salvation inside the name of Jesus.

God planned everything around a seed promised to Adam, Eve, and all of mankind thereafter to destroy the lifelong bondage to sin and death. Heb. 2:14 “Forasmuch then as the children are partakers of flesh and blood, he also himself likewise took part of the same; that through death he might destroy him that had the power of death, that is, the devil;” This was all God’s plan from the beginning. He is the All Spirit in creation. He is the All Spirit inside Jesus Christ. He is the All Spirit through Jesus Christ the man in us as the Holy Ghost. We are sifted and cleaned through the body and the name of Jesus Christ. Acts 4:12 “Neither is there salvation in any other: for there is none other name under heaven given among men, whereby we must be saved.“

Everything has a plan, purpose, and function from God. You and I are like Jeremiah with a plan from God with our name on it. God sent the breath of life into your mother’s womb with your name on it. Jesus Christ the man was sent the Plan of God Himself to save our souls from a devil’s hell and rejoin us to God’s direct fellowship.

Read this and put your name in the blank, “…I knew thee…” _________ “before I formed thee in the belly…and before thou camest forth our of the wormb…“. “…I sanctified thee…” ___________ “and I ordained thee a…” __________ “…unto the nations.” The last blank is if you know what you are good at doing that God planned to use as a witness to all the world.

After repenting, being baptized in Jesus name for the remission of sins, and receiving the gift of the Holy Ghost we have become the representatives like Jesus to all the world. As Jesus let Pilate know the plan of God was for him to become king. You are alive in this world inheriting God’s plan once you get back on track of your original design from God. You will be able to say, you are a witness and Jn. 18:37 “…To this end was I born, and for this cause came I into the world, that I should bear witness unto the truth. Every one that is of the truth heareth my voice.” Oneness with God was the plan from the very beginning and Jesus Christ the man is the rejoining of that plan if you should so choose.

God’s plan is inside you. Let Jesus Christ reconnect you to that plan God wanted you to have since birth. 2 Peter 3:9 “The Lord is not slack concerning his promise, as some men count slackness; but is longsuffering to us-ward, not willing that any should perish, but that all should come to repentance.” Pray with a repenting heart, find a way to be water baptized in Jesus name applying the blood of forgiveness washing away all your sins, and open up your spirit in a receptive way for God to fill you with His powerful Holy Ghost. You will never be the same in the glory of God.

Baptized into the Word

This is another one of those powerful overwhelming understandings God drops into your spirit. It is absolutely amazing of how much God loves us and how close He wants us to be to Him. We know Jesus died on the cross for our sins and his innocent, pure, and holy blood that is inside his name washes away all our sins. We know when we are baptized in Jesus name that we are baptized into his death that was meant for us, into his tomb buried with him in water baptism, and into his resurrection when he rose from the grave. All that power is placed upon us through the name of Jesus. Praise be to the Almighty God, but there is much much more.

The focus of this understanding is being “baptized into“. If we follow the scriptures in the way of God more perfectly the discovery will be that we are on the inside of Jesus Christ with God. What does that mean – on the inside? Our repenting, being submerged in water baptism in Jesus name applying the forgiveness of sins by the blood in Jesus name, and coming up out of the water like unto the resurrection of Jesus is one powerful part fulfilling the born again of the water. There is another half to this salvation of not water only.

Born again of the Spirit is the other half of salvation. We are inside the protective body of Jesus Christ, but this is only part of this joining into oneness with God. We are washed clean before God, but our spirit needs to be born again. Jn. 3:6 “…that which is born of the Spirit is spirit.” Receiving the gift of the Holy Ghost is the completion of being “baptized into” the body of Jesus Christ. 1 Cor. 12:13 “For by one Spirit are we all baptized into one body, whether we be Jews or Gentiles, whether we be bond or free; and have been all made to drink into one Spirit.“

Let me take you with me on the journey of understanding God took me of seeing what it means to be “baptized into” Jesus Christ and the One True God.

Gen. 1:1 “In the beginning God created the heaven and the earth.” Jn. 1:1 “In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God.” v2 “The same was in the beginning with God.” v3 “All things were made by him; and without him was not any thing made that was made.” v14 “And the Word was made flesh, and dwelt among us, (and we beheld his glory, the glory as of the only begotten of the Father,) full of grace and truth.“

In the beginning God created the heaven and the earth. Okay, the Word was there in the beginning and the Word was God. God and the Word is the same Spirit just two aspects of God. All things were made by the Word/God; and without the Word/God was not any thing made that was made. God, the Father is the All Present, everywhere at once Spirit. The Word part of God was the centralized location all creation could come and visit. I hope this example will help. If God were the air on earth where would you go to visit Him face to face? You couldn’t because you would looking into the air in all directions, but if God made His air form a transparent cloud like spot we would have a location and something to go to visit Him face to face.

The Word is God’s Spirit form transparent spot for angels and all creation to come to visit Him face to face. This is why the scripture says, v3 “All things were made by him; and without him was not any thing made that was made.” All things include the angels and anything else created before the earth. The Word was God Himself creating a place within His All Present Spirit to interact with His creations. He made His Word a place of His Knowledge, Power, and Presence would be recognized instead of looking into the air trying to guess where is He and what does He look like. To us, we could now see Him and He could show us His Godhead in one location. This is why we read in the beginning God created through this Word port of Himself all creations.

You see the Word and God are the same Spirit. One part is everywhere and the other is s single communication port for creation to speak with. Now, back to where God Himself came to us in a fleshly port. Heb. 2:14 “Forasmuch then as the children are partakers of flesh and blood, he also himself likewise took part of the same; that through death he might destroy him that had the power of death, that is, the devil;” The Word was made flesh. The same Spirit of God that created heaven and earth came in the flesh to save us. Satan corrupted all of mankind in the garden of Eden, but he cannot corrupt God in the flesh.

One key focus is “…the Word was God.” and the next key focus is “And the Word was made flesh…“. The next simple thought of understanding that means God was made flesh. The word “made” is also translated as “became“. The Word became flesh is the same as God became flesh. The Word is God’s focal point of Himself to all physical things created. This is why He said, “…and without him was NOT any thing made that was made.” This is all for if the All Present Spirit of God were to be of a solid form. God chose the pattern of physical form if He were solid and the creations that solid form would walk among.

No single creature can pull into their eyes an All Present Spirit God. Can our eyes see all of the air? The everywhere God made a centralized form of Himself if He were to interact with other physical beings called the Word, which was the go through of Himself to created all physical creations. It is extremely important for you to see the Word is the One True All Powerful God. This is something that comes to you ONLY like Peter when the Father reveals to you who He truly is.

God is a Spirit and therefore His Word is Spirit Jn. 4:24 “God is a Spirit…” and 39 “…a spirit hath not flesh and bones…” God and His focal point Word is His one Spirit. To all creation God made this place of Himself to be where we would see the combinations of His All Knowing, All Power, and All Present Godhead. If God did not have this place of Himself for creation to come to we would all be looking into open air or space wondering where is He. The Word is His fellowshipping point to all creation.

When you are talking about the “Word” you are talking about “God” and this is the focal point of God’s Spirit to mediate to all creation from His everywhere present Spirit. Remember when I asked, If the air on the earth was God where would you go to meet Him face to face? This is how Adam and Eve could hear God walking in the cool of the day. Gen. 3:8 “And they heard the voice of the Lord God walking in the garden in the cool of the day…” God’s centralized Spirit Word form mediating with physical creations could be heard walking, but not fleshly physical at this time.

This is where God/Word decided to create something that would be like Him as offspring, children of Himself if He were to be of a true physical form. God made Adam with two basic sides like Himself with spirit and a centralized point of communication. God made Adam with a spirit side and a physical side like God if He were to be of a solid form – a Spirit side and a physical side. Adam on the spirit side was given knowledge, power over the earth, and a centralized presence to mediate with anything inside the earth – an ‘Adamhead‘ if you will like unto a “Godhead“.

When Adam and Eve sinned against God death was placed upon all of mankind and separated us from God. This is where God put into motion on saving us from death, hell, and the grave. God’s plan was He could sacrifice the body to death, but would not sacrifice the soul of mankind. The body could die, but the eternal soul needed a regenerating eternal change along with a new body. God could do this through His Word port that He used for all the plans of creation if He were to be of a solid form. God wanted to save us.

God through His Word mediator put a seed of His Word into the birth canal of mankind to be born in the future to implement this salvation plan. This is where “And the Word was made flesh…“came from. This is powerful when you see the All Present, One True God that created the heavens and the earth put All of His Spirit representative mediator, the Word, inside the man Jesus to save us. The body of Jesus Christ had man’s original plan of God and the spiritual plan of God that He called Himself as the Word.

This understanding totally explains Jn. 17:3 “And this is life eternal, that they might know thee the only true God, and Jesus Christ, whom thou hast sent.” If you want to know eternal life then asking, seeking, and knocking on God’s Spirit Word mediator door and God’s new mediator body in Christ then He will give it to you, allow you to find it, and open it freely revealing to you the All Knowledge, All Power, and All Present purpose of God’s divine Godhead. The God of the universe you can see.

We are still under the attack by Satan twisting God’s words (like he did to Eve) from us seeing the One True God and Jesus Christ. Jam. 2:19 “Thou believest that there is one God; thou doest well: the devils also believe, and tremble.” The One True God put Himself inside Jesus the man for the purpose of saving us, His children. Do you realize what is inside the Jesus the man and why the devils trembles at the name of Jesus? We all have had a warning about the devil doing this. Col. 2:8 “Beware lest any man spoil you through philosophy and vain deceit, after the tradition of men, after the rudiments of the world, and not after Christ.” v9 “For in him dwelleth all the fulness of the Godhead bodily.” v10 “And ye are complete in him, which is the head of all principality and power:” If you want to see God you must go past philosophy, church traditions, and the things of the world.

The Word, the Spirit of God, was made flesh. 2 Cor. 5:19 “To wit, that God was in Christ, reconciling the world unto himself, not imputing their trespasses unto them; and hath committed unto us the word of reconciliation.” God placed His Word of promise on the man Jesus and placed Himself inside the man Jesus to help him fulfill the promises of redemption. The Word mediator and the man mediator became One. The Word mediator and the man mediator became One. We join this undefeatable body and Spirit in salvation.

When Peter said, Acts 2:38 “…Repent, and be baptized every one of you in the name of Jesus Christ for the remission of sins, and ye shall receive the gift of the Holy Ghost.” Peter set into motion the Only Plan of Salvation that applies the Word mediator and the man mediator as One into our lives. You may want to re-read this past sentences slowly for the impact of revelation because Acts 4:12 “Neither is there salvation in any other: for there is none other name under heaven given among men, whereby we must be saved.” This is where philosophy, church traditions, and deceptions of the world are put into the scales against the scriptures with you choosing which one you will believe. Is God’s Word above all or is the devil Gen. 3:4 “…Ye shall not surely die:” your choice?

Jesus said we must Jn. 3:3 “…be born again, he cannot see the kingdom of God.” Remember, this is the Word, God Himself made flesh, speaking through Jesus. This is not an earthly natural rebirth, but to v5 “…be born of water and of the Spirit, he cannot enter into the kingdom of God.” This is non negotiable with no other options if you want to see or enter into the kingdom of God. v7 “…must be born again.” This is the Almighty God Word mediator and the man mediator as One talking to you and me.

What Apostle Peter said in Acts 2:38 is above the authority of people’s interpretation of Matthew 28:19. God Himself inside Jesus told Peter after Peter said this to Jesus Mtt. 16:16 “…Thou art the Christ, the Son of the living God.” for this reason Jesus/God v17 “…said unto him, Blessed art thou, Simon Barjona: for flesh and blood hath not revealed it unto thee, but my Father which is in heaven.” The All Present God was able to connect with Peter directly through His Word mediator. Peter at this moment opened his mind, heart, and soul seeing God, the Word mediator and the son, fleshly man, mediator as Christ that directly connecting to God Himself. Would you like to directly connect with the everywhere Present God and allow His Word to reveal things that earthly flesh and blood could never receive?

Almighty God Himself and Jesus Christ the savior gave All Power for the reason v18 “…That thou art Peter, and upon this rock I will build my church; and the gates of hell shall not prevail against it.” – NOT Matthew. Peter was not just responsible for building Christian church in the future, but God gave him this v19 “And I will give unto thee the keys of the kingdom of heaven: and whatsoever thou shalt bind on earth shall be bound in heaven: and whatsoever thou shalt loose on earth shall be loosed in heaven.” God Himself and Jesus Christ gave Peter the Acts 2:38 keys to seeing and entering into the kingdom of heaven to all of mankind until Jesus Christ returns. Acts 2:39 “For the promise is unto you, and to your children, and to all that are afar off, even as many as the Lord our God shall call.” This plan of salvation never ended. Philosophy, church traditions, and worldly deceptions has stepped on Peter’s words in Acts 2:38 and gave their belief of All Power to Matthew 28:19 and other pieced together scriptures.

Matthew obeyed Acts 2:38. He was there when Peter spoke of repentance, baptism in Jesus name and receive the gift of the Holy Ghost. Acts 1:13 “And when they were come in, they went up into an upper room, where abode both Peter, and James, and John, and Andrew, Philip, and Thomas, Bartholomew, and Matthew, James the son of Alphaeus, and Simon Zelotes, and Judas the brother of James..” After Peter preached Acts 2:41 “Then they that gladly received his word were baptized…” v42 And they continued stedfastly in the apostles’ doctrine and fellowship, and in breaking of bread, and in prayers.“

Matthew was baptized in Jesus name that honored the the All Present God the Father Word mediator, the fleshly Son mediator, and Holy Ghost regenerating mediator. These are the three stages of the One True God forming a single location for all of creation to interact with Him throughout all of eternity. In the beginning was the Word/God creating the heaven and earth and the Word was made flesh. Satan is scared for you to see the One True God and trembles when his doctrine of three separate gods melting away when the Father speaks past your flesh and blood like He did Peter.

This is what the Word/God mediator and Jesus the man mediator said to do in teaching speaking of the future and not at this moment of this scripture. Mtt. 28:19 “Go ye therefore, and teach all nations…” Jesus is talking to his disciples, which means Peter is sitting right there. Peter heard Jesus say, “…baptizing them in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost:” Do you really think Peter disobeyed God and Jesus by baptizing people in the name of Jesus? If Peter contradicted Jesus words that Matthew wrote down then the Bible is fallible and cannot be completely believed. Was Matthew the one chosen to start the church or Peter?

Baptizing in the name of the Father and Peter was there to know what is the name of the Father. Peter and Matthew was there when Jesus said, Jn. 5:43 “I am come in my Father’s name, and ye receive me not…” Are you not receiving that Jesus is the name of the Father? The Father’s full Godhead the Word mediator was inside Jesus. Jesus said, Jn. 10:30 “I and my Father are one.” Peter and Matthew were there when Jesus told Phillip Jn. 14:9 “…Have I been so long time with you, and yet hast thou not known me, Philip? he that hath seen me hath seen the Father; and how sayest thou then, Show us the Father?” The name of the Father is Jesus.

Baptizing in the name of the Son should be without argument what his name is due to the scriptures clearly point out it is Jesus. Son is not really a name anyways. It is a title to a status definition. None of the apostles or disciples would argue what the son’s name is. Baptizing in the name of the Holy Ghost, which is the born again of the Spirit side of salvation only comes to us in the name of Jesus. Jesus was explaining to Peter, Matthew and others about the Holy Ghost. Jesus said, Jn. 14:26 “But the Comforter, which is the Holy Ghost, whom the Father will send in my name, he shall teach you all things, and bring all things to your remembrance, whatsoever I have said unto you.” There is a oneness here that only can be seen through God revealing it to us.

In Matthew 28:19 Jesus was speaking of the future when the Christian Church would come into existence upon the rock of Apostle Peter and his words of binding salvation in Acts 2:38. Jesus was revealing that in the beginning was the Word and that Word was God, the Father of All creations, was inside him and his name – Jesus. The Word/God promised a Son of redemption for mankind and the Holy Ghost to bring back to life your eternal soul. Jesus revealed the three stages of the One True God that has come for His children. The name of Jesus completely honors all things God wanted to accomplish with mankind. God and the man Jesus are one.

If you have been baptized in Jesus name, which is the ONLY way the blood of forgiveness can applied, and filled with the power of the Holy Ghost speaking in a language God gives you then you are baptized into the Word. This is where it truly becomes a mind blower. You and I are baptized inside the body of Jesus with the Word inside of us. This explains why Jesus said, Jn. 14:12 “Verily, verily, I say unto you, He that believeth on me, the works that I do shall he do also; and greater works than these shall he do; because I go unto my Father.”

We have been baptized into the direct presence of the Word that created all things due to the protection of the blood of Jesus Christ. Our spirit can walk and talk with the Almighty God. Our faith can give us unlimited understandings and perceptions if simply walk with God as Jesus did. Studying His word and praying/fellowship everyday will be God’s chance to show us all truth. We can see into His glory if we truly open ourselves to the God that said, let there be light.

We are baptized into the oneness of the Word mediator and the man mediator with our single point of communication. I hope you are feeling the power of His oneness upon your life. This connection with Him almost makes your spirit feel free and above your fleshly body’s control. There are not words to explain or express the glorious infilling of God’s Holy Spirit. Please search the scriptures and pray. Mankind has changed things that were never meant to be changed by God. God bless and may you never be the same as you were.

Shall Not Want Meets Thy Will

Ps. 23:1 “The Lord is my shepherd; I shall not want.” Mtt. 6:10 “Thy kingdom come, Thy will be done in earth, as it is in heaven.“

The Lord is our shepherd standing over us with His power and authority. When we are tired, stressed, and frustrated if we let go of the ‘I want‘ converting it to “…I shall not want…” He will tell us where to lie down and when to lie down knowing everything around us. At this point if we accept “…I shall not want…” then we need to come to the surrendering point of “…Thy will be done…“.

When “…I shall not want…” meets “…Thy will be done…” this opens the time for Him to refresh our soul and lead us in the directions of doing right in honor of His name of being our Shepherd. We are in a place within ourselves to follow instead of looking around at our storms, loosing eye contact with Him, and starting to sink under the waves of our fears. He will take care of us feeding us a daily bread of hope, faith, and love.

When “…I shall not want…” meets “…Thy will be done…” no matter how high the dark canyon walls of death loom over us He will stand before them with His rod and staff bringing us comfort and taking away the torments of fear. When we reject our fleshly wants and apply the “…I shall not want…” merging in our mind, heart, and soul “…Thy will be done…” the realization will take over causing us to see the He’s got the whole world in His hands bringing us sweet release of our troubles.

When “…I shall not want…” meets “…Thy will be done…” the sitting still and waiting upon the Lord gives Him a chance to setup a table right in front of those who hate us and wish evil upon us no matter if it is of flesh or of demon. As we sit there at His table calmly we don’t have to think of what we need to say because He will anoint us with the words that need to be spoken. The world may never forgive us, but He has forgiven us and now we need to forgive them seeing the overflowing drink of life overrun the cup in front of us into their life. The miracles will come leading us to safety from evil temptations when “…I shall not want…” meets “…Thy will be done…” delivering us from evil.

When “…I shall not want…” meets “…Thy will be done…” it will be without a doubt His goodness and mercy will be with us daily wherever we may go. The “…I shall not want…” will put the desire in us to dwell in the house of the Lord forever. We will not want to go anywhere else and realize there is no where else to go to hear the words of eternal life. causing the desire of our heart to be “…Thy will be done…“.

The final conclusion inside ourselves when we merge “…I shall not want…” with “…Thy will be done…” we will become one with the purpose that it is for His kingdom, His power, and to His glory forever. Amen. “…I shall not want…” and “…Thy will be done…” should release us from stressing out over our jobs, our bosses, our families, and our tomorrows. May we always let God bless us and thank Him for every good thing that comes our way.

OUR SHEPHERD

Ps. 23:1 “The Lord is my shepherd; I shall not want.” 2 “He maketh me to lie down in green pastures: he leadeth me beside the still waters.” 3 “He restoreth my soul: he leadeth me in the paths of righteousness for his name’s sake.” 4 “Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil: for thou art with me; thy rod and thy staff they comfort me.” 5 “Thou preparest a table before me in the presence of mine enemies: thou anointest my head with oil; my cup runneth over.” 6 “Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me all the days of my life: and I will dwell in the house of the Lord for ever.“

LORD’S PRAYER

Mtt. 6:9 “… Our Father which art in heaven, Hallowed be thy name.” 10 “Thy kingdom come, Thy will be done in earth, as it is in heaven.” 11 “Give us this day our daily bread.” 12 “And forgive us our debts, as we forgive our debtors.” 13 “And lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil: For thine is the kingdom, and the power, and the glory, for ever. Amen.“

KEEP WORKING

Mtt. 6:30 “Wherefore, if God so clothe the grass of the field, which to day is, and to morrow is cast into the oven, shall he not much more clothe you, O ye of little faith?” 31 “Therefore take no thought, saying, What shall we eat? or, What shall we drink? or, Wherewithal shall we be clothed?” 32 “(For after all these things do the Gentiles seek:) for your heavenly Father knoweth that ye have need of all these things.” 33 “But seek ye first the kingdom of God, and his righteousness; and all these things shall be added unto you.” 34 “Take therefore no thought for the morrow: for the morrow shall take thought for the things of itself. Sufficient unto the day is the evil thereof.“

Another Aspect of Love

There are levels, percentages, and measurements in our heart felt emotions. We will say we love something and it is true, but it has a conscious or subconscious level of importance to us. It is easy to understand when thinking about a certain food we love compared to a person we love. One we could easily give up and the other would be something we could not live without.

All of us start out as pure children naïve to the evil things of the world. Children believe everyone until that one person comes along to lie to them and the child catches onto it. As the pure and innocent child grows encountering more and more evil things at higher levels and cost they develop walls. Coldness sets into their hearts and evil things begin to replace the good and innocence. Our emotions become sized.

A person who one day wakes up to the realization of the world’s fake love and selfishness starts looking for a way out. They see themselves living in this dark, don’t care, and revengeful day to day life style and thinks to themselves “I am sick and tired of this“, “I want out“, or “is there not a better way“? I had those thoughts.

I heard a voice speak to me inside my mind, heart, and soul “try Me“. I was raised going to church, but the world had corrupted my soul over and over into a dark, revengeful, and hateful state towards all people. I was full of evil using people like I was, deceiving people like I was, and trusting absolutely no one else. I was tired of this what seem to be an unending circle of darkness going around and around. The voice said once again, “try Me, you have tried everything else“. The voice was right and I knew it. It was God.

I had almost no love in my heart and my relationship with God started out with a one percent love for Him. I put our relationship on a trial basis, but I would go after Him as hard as I did the world. I would challenge Him with the toughest questions a person could ask. As time went on and He answered my questions my love grew to higher and higher percentages. I actually started seeing within myself a much nicer and happier person.

I like to believe this present day that I have reached the one hundred percent all in love with God for saving my soul, saving me from myself, and setting me free from the devil’s control. I found love is THE CORE of God. He loved me when no one else did. He loved me for who I am without all the layers and walls of lies I had built up. You cannot not find a more trustworthy love than with God directly.

A very, very powerful thought hit me a couple of weeks ago while talking with God. I was in the scriptures where Jesus said, Mtt. 7:23 “And then will I profess unto them, I never knew you: depart from me, ye that work iniquity.” It hit me strongly that I cannot describe the blow that hit my spirit. I love God so much for changing my life and saving me from continually being evil. I believe God revealed to me another aspect of my love towards Him. The thought was, it would be hell to me just to hear God say the words to me, “…depart from me…” “…I never knew you…“. If there is anyone I would want to accept me it would be God.

I would feel hell already from just those words of rejection from the one I love the most. It would be hell long before you sent me to the actual lake of eternal fire and torment. We have people today and we should examine ourselves that talk the talk of Christianity, but inside their spirit they are not right with God. God allows all people to do things in His name with the hopes of true and pure repentance with Him. Fake and hypocritical people with false facades will be rejected by God, but true lovers of God must be careful and diligent to keep themselves in a ready state with God.

The thoughts of God saying to me, “…depart from me…” “…I never knew you…” devastated me. I would not want the tiniest measurement of time to be absent from God. This is where the levels, percentages, and measurements of your love come into the light. How much do you really love God. Not what you tell people, but what you know when you are all alone and only God sees your spirit.

God showed me something that I had not seen before and I hope your spirit will see this also. Focus your thoughts on how much to you love God. In this next section I believe you will have a life changing experience with God Luke 7:47 “Wherefore I say unto thee, Her sins, which are many, are forgiven; for she loved much: but to whom little is forgiven, the same loveth little.” What is the measurement of your love in the category of forgiven much or forgiven little?

HOW MUCH DID JESUS the MAN LOVE GOD?

The Holy Spirit of God created a fleshly male baby inside the virgin Mary as a temple of flesh to house the concentration of His Almighty Spirit for the soul loving purpose to save us from our sins. This baby had a calling of God upon him for you and I, but he had to go through the gauntlet of this world like as we did.

As that male baby grew into a child having fellowship with the Almighty God within him everyday there was not a second without God. As a young boy he was curious about the temple man had created for God and the words of God taught there. Luke 2:46 “…they found him in the temple, sitting in the midst of the doctors, both hearing them, and asking them questions.” I guess you could God’s living temple, Jesus the boy, met with the stone temple God allowed to be built with man’s hands. Interesting thought of the two temples met.

For thirty years Jesus the man had the presence of God inside him and the daily relationship before he started his God called ministry. Can you imagine having God inside your thoughts, God’s feelings inside your heart, and God’s love for mankind? God looking through your eyes and hearing through your ears?

If you read about Jesus you will see he encountered the lies, the users, the selfish, the fake, the hypocrites, and the evil abuse all of us faced growing up in this world. Jesus the man clung to God and protected his walk with God. He was careful to say only what God shared with him to say. He did things only according to what God wanted done. Jesus the man loved the one and True God inside him one hundred percent.

ANOTHER ASPECT OF LOVE

At the closing of his earthly ministry that God had originally sent him to do we see Jesus was in the garden praying to God. This last night of prayer Jesus was Luke 22:42 “Saying, Father, if thou be willing, remove this cup from me: nevertheless not my will, but thine, be done.” v44 “And being in an agony he prayed more earnestly: and his sweat was as it were great drops of blood falling down to the ground.“

I have always thought of Jesus at this moment of time was seeing the chains, the slapping and the pulling of his beard; spitting on him and all the lies, rejections, and physical torture as the reason and dread of going through this physical pain and suffering. I would envision he saw the forty strips upon his back, the crown of thorns cutting into his head, and the nails through his feet and hands were the reason of him saying, “…not my will, but thine, be done.“

At this moment of talking with God He showed me the question of “do you think it was all the pain and suffering in his body that caused him to pray that prayer“? God reminded me of my own thoughts of the hell I would experience if God just said the words to depart from Him for He never knew me. This makes you stop and think what was Jesus really focused on in his prayer?

Could it be Jesus the man did see all the physical punishment and death coming his way, but that was not what was bothering him to say, Father, if thou be willing, remove this cup from me…“? Jesus the man lived every second of his earthly life with the cherished and treasured love with God Almighty. Could it be Jesus was seeing something else coming his way? I absolutely love every moment God shares with me.

Could it be Jesus was seeing the moment he would say and experience on the cross, Mtt.27:46 “…My God, my God, why hast thou forsaken me?” Could it be his love for God was so strong that all the pain and suffering of the body had no comparison to that moment God would leave him to take on all our sins. It wasn’t the crown of thorns, forty strips upon his back, or the nail through his hands and feet, but what he dreaded the most was the moment God had to leave him for our sins. I pray God never leaves me. How about you?

Jesus grew from a baby into a child always having a divine presence with him. As a young boy he always had God looking through his eyes seeing the unseen. His ears were always hearing understandings of truth and how things really are below the surface. Jesus never knew what it was like to be without God.

Jn 5:17 “…My Father worketh hitherto, and I work.“

v18 “Therefore the Jews sought the more to kill him, because he not only had broken the sabbath, but said also that God was his Father, making himself equal with God.”

v19 “…The Son can do nothing of himself, but what he seeth the Father do: for what things soever he doeth, these also doeth the Son likewise.“

v20 “For the Father loveth the Son, and sheweth him all things that himself doeth: and he will shew him greater works than these, that ye may marvel.“

v30 “I can of mine own self do nothing: as I hear, I judge: and my judgment is just; because I seek not mine own will, but the will of the Father which hath sent me.“

Jesus the man saw through his own eyes God facing death through him. The centurion’s servant ready to die Luke 7:2 , the ruler’s daughter dead on her bed Mtt. 9:18 , the funeral procession with the only son of the mother being carried out of the city Luke 7:12-15, and Lazarus being dead four days in the tomb Jn 11:17 was all God inside Jesus the man experiencing first hand the power of life returning to all these people. Jn. 5:21 “For as the Father raiseth up the dead, and quickeneth them; even so the Son quickeneth whom he will.” Jesus the man must have loved every moment seeing God’s love pouring out onto others.

It was time for Jesus the man to go. He had a life here on earth like no other human being had ever experienced. The last night of prayer: Luke 22:44 “And being in an agony he prayed more earnestly: and his sweat was as it were great drops of blood falling down to the ground.” I don’t know about you, but I would never want to experience any moment without God. I would never want to be Samson not knowing God had left me. It is a horrible thought.

Could it be Jesus knew the time was coming God was going to leave him and no earthly pain could compare to the spiritual separation he had known his entire earthly life. That separation was for us to be reunited through Jesus to God once again, but someone had to take that sinful separating moment in our place with holy innocent blood paying for our atonement.

How much did Jesus love God? How much did the apostles love God? How much do you love God? Does it pain your heart and soul to think how it would feel if God said to you, depart from Me I never knew you? Would just those words be hell to you? Loving God is beyond the pains of this world, religious traditions, and any false riches the devil may tempt you with. 1 Jn. 4:4 “…greater is he that is in you, than he that is in the world.“

God is calling you like he did me, “try Me“, “try Me, you have tried everything else” Trust your whole heart and life unto God. You will never be the same again. I promise because it happened to me.

Here is your starting point with God:

Acts 2:38 “…Repent, and be baptized every one of you in the name of Jesus Christ for the remission of sins, and ye shall receive the gift of the Holy Ghost.” Get baptized in Jesus name and receive the Holy Ghost.

Here is your mid way fellowshipping point:

Luke 11:9 “And I say unto you, Ask, and it shall be given you; seek, and ye shall find; knock, and it shall be opened unto you.” Start your personal daily fellowship with God.

Here is your ending point:

Mtt. 25:23 “…Well done, good and faithful servant…enter thou into the joy of thy lord.” A worthy goal.

Start your journey with the Lord that will be an adventure everyday just like Jesus did until He calls you home. God bless you and I hope you see the measurement of your love.

If You Love Something

If you love something with a true and pure heart of love you want the best for that something. This is a love that does not have any less percentage than one hundred percent. All of us have emotions that we could say is measured in percentages. You may be able to say you love your job, but more than likely it will be a percentage of love. Eighty percent maybe the measure of your love while twenty percent is reservations of the different aspects of your job, but not one hundred percent.

True love for something in your heart makes them higher than your own happiness. True love for something else is a price you would pay above your own desires. As I was praying to God this morning I had a question. It is always beautiful in a relationship with God that you know He will answer you. One of my favorite acronyms is ASK. Mtt. 7:7 “Ask, and it shall be given you; seek, and ye shall find; knock, and it shall be opened unto you:” The other side to ASK is it shall be given, you shall find, and it shall be opened unto you.

As I was talking with God, sounding out the things that were upon my mind with Him, it hit me about who out of all of creation stayed with You? “If You Love Something ” you would want someone to love them and take care of them the same as you would do and more. It is almost like a cry of the heart for someone please love them more than I can. God, in all of creation who stayed with you?

The question drove my thoughts into researching all of the Biblical creation. My thoughts quickly gave up the search and saw the depressing image of mankind that turned away from God and corrupted this beautiful world He created just for us. I looked to the heaven recorded history and a third of the angels turned their backs on God choosing evil over Him. Who has stayed by Your side, God? Who has never stopped loving You? My heart began to ache. What creation has loved You so much that they never left You?

God dropped into my mind as reminder that only a third of the angels left Him. The greatest of all that stayed by His side was Jesus the man created inside the womb of the virgin Mary. My heart was still breaking that so many had left Him and the wish welled up in my soul with a wish that I was one of them. We all fall so short of pleasing God. Why did you do it, Adam and Eve? Why? Did you leave God?

I was driving to work and I try not to allow my broken heart to flow with tears for my failures because of the co-workers would see the red eyes and wonder what was up. This was a time of feeling a failure for something I love so much a little stream of tears began to trickle out of each eye onto my cheek slowly rolling down my face. It could not be stopped because the love was so deep and the sadness.

I want to be one of the angels that did not leave God and His goodness. I wanted to be like Jesus the man and never let Him down or betray Him. The reality of my weaknesses broke my heart for the something I love so dear. Adam and Eve left Him. A part of the angels left Him. Why? How could you give up being with someone so wonderful? There was no pain and sorrow.

In my brokenness and wiping away the little streams of tears as a deep soul would cry of God help me not to betray You or leave You. My thoughts came back to the question, is there anyone else who did not betray You? No one else came to my mind. Most of the angels and Jesus the man never left God’s side. No one else had the love of Mtt. 6:9 “…Our Father which art in heaven, Hallowed be thy name.” v10 “Thy kingdom come, Thy will be done in earth, as it is in heaven.“

I am still tearful inside behind my eyes thinking about did anyone else stay with God. I have found God to be a loving, caring, and a forgiving God when I absolutely did not deserve it. I have seen enough evil in my life and around my life to this present day that I do not want anything to do with that side of evil. I want to be totally on the side of God’s goodness and not fail Him.

The comfort of God came to me in my down trodden state of mind, heart, and soul. God took my thoughts of “If You Love Something” to Jesus the man. Even though God Almighty was inside the fleshly body of Jesus Col. 2:9 “For in him dwelleth all the fulness of the Godhead bodily.“, the man Jesus had a free will choice. We have a free will choice to choose whom we love one hundred percent.

Jesus the man lived a daily life of Mtt. 6:9 “…Our Father which art in heaven, Hallowed be thy name.” v10 “Thy kingdom come, Thy will be done in earth, as it is in heaven.” Jesus the man constantly pointed out that he was only doing the things he was doing because God showed him what to do. Jn. 5:19 “…The Son can do nothing of himself, but what he seeth the Father do…” Jesus the man was tempted with all the things we are tempted with, but overcame them staying by God’s side. Heb. 4:15 “…but was in all points tempted like as we are, yet without sin.“

Jesus the man stayed by God’s side the whole time because he realized the value and importance of God’s goodness. Jn. 5:30 “I can of mine own self do nothing: as I hear, I judge… because I seek not mine own will, but the will of the Father which hath sent me.” Jesus the man chose to stay by God’s side no matter what. Jesus the man knowing his death was near said, 42 “…not my will, but thine, be done.” In my weaknesses, I wish I could be more like Jesus and constantly stay by God’s side and will.

As I had that thought, God stepped in dropping His word into my spirit that Phil. 4:13 “I can do all things through Christ which strengtheneth me.” Totally relying upon Jesus to help me maintain a life of living on the side of something that I love – being with God. We all walk in a world filled with evil and the devil’s plans unfolding before our eyes pushing the end time prophesies fulfillment.

I want to be like Jesus and be among the few that stays by God’s side through out all of eternity. I am glad I was water baptized, fully immersed, in the only name that represents never leaving God’s side and has the blood of forgiveness inside that only name that carries the power to wash away my sins in Jesus name.

I am glad I prayed to God about receiving the promise and the power of His Holy Spirit in the same way the apostles did. If He wanted me to have it then I wanted it. If you love something you are willing to surrender your will to the “Thy will be done.” The power of the Holy Spirit came upon me with such overpowering divine love and changing power my words of English praise was converted into a language only the Holy Spirit of God could give. The words of praise to God went beyond a mortal man speaking to a heavenly worship that no earthly joy could explain.

“If You Love Something“, Jesus is Jn. 14:6 “…the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me” and you will have in your life beyond mankind and traditions. The Mtt. 6:9 “…Our Father which art in heaven, Hallowed be thy name.” v10 “Thy kingdom come, Thy will be done in earth, as it is in heaven.” will be your entire theme and purpose of life.

My love for God and His word superseded the traditions I was raised in and my obedience went directly to what God said in His word. That is why I got re-baptized from the traditional way of the Father, Son, and the Holy Ghost to being baptized in Jesus name. God put everything in the name of Jesus for us. Jesus the man did not fail God nor did the Apostles fail God in preaching the plan of salvation, which was:

Acts 2:38 “Then Peter said unto them, Repent, and be baptized every one of you in the name of Jesus Christ for the remission of sins, and ye shall receive the gift of the Holy Ghost.” I want to stick with God and His word. What do you want to do? Join the angels and Jesus the man who stayed with God or follow everyone else who did their own thing rejecting God?

v39 “For the promise is unto you, and to your children, and to all that are afar off, even as many as the Lord our God shall call.” This salvation is an unchanging promise to you, your children, and to ALL that are afar off. Do you hear the Spirit of God calling you? “If You Love Something” with all your mind, heart, and soul; you will be willing to follow Him when everyone else chooses not to go. Apply ASK acronym.

There are two types of creation that stayed with God – angels and the man Jesus. We are not of heaven to be angels, but we are of the earth and can be like the man Jesus through His strength and Spirit. Turn your failure into victory, get saved in Jesus name, and live a daily life with the goal of loving God to the very end. Be among the few here on earth. All the goodness you could ever receive there is nothing greater than receiving God Himself. He is the greatest of all good. Help us God not to fail you! “If You Love Something” more than yourself.
