Forgiveness in No Other

Jn. 1:29 “The next day John seeth Jesus coming unto him, and saith, Behold the Lamb of God, which taketh away the sin of the world.” (KJV translation) I hope you see Jesus coming to you.

The echo of God’s word was fulfilled on this day when John saw Jesus and said, “…Behold the Lamb of God“. John is pointing here is the Lamb of God has provided. Gen. 22:7 “And Isaac spake unto Abraham his father, and said… Behold the fire and the wood: but where is the lamb for a burnt offering?” v8 “And Abraham said, My son, God will provide himself a lamb…” (KJV translation). Here is our sin, death, destruction: but where is our savior? God is going to do it personally.

John spoke in a revealing way what God had promised to provide from the beginning that He will, “…I will…“, crush the devil’s head and the devil will strike his heel (the Lamb of God) – death to death. God will provide Himself a man like as a lamb for the death payment of mankind’s sin crushing the devil’s authority and the devil will strike death to the body of the man known as what John said to be, “…the Lamb of God“. Gen. 3:15

God’s death blow will be to destroy the power of death over mankind Heb. 2:14, 15  taking care of the eternal spiritual aspect of mankind and the eternal debt of punishment. The devil’s blow of death to the man, the Lamb of God, is his way of thinking that killing is the final answer. This is no ordinary human being that loves God. This is The Lamb of God that will resurrect on the third day with a new body for mankind to once again return to the presence of God spiritually and physically.

God handled totally the spiritual aspect, for Jn. 4:24 “God is a Spirit…” and the man Jesus, the Lamb of God, handled the fleshly aspect. Jesus lived, moved, and had his being in God Acts 17:28 as it was meant to be from the beginning when God created Adam and Eve. This is why Jesus said from the fleshly man side and sealed by God’s Spirit that Jn. 14:6 “… I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me.” Everything for our salvation is inside of Jesus and his name.

“Forgiveness in No Other” is sealed by God’s Spirit and the Lamb of God, the man Jesus. This is why Peter full of the Holy Ghost, which is God inspired, said that Acts 4:12 “Salvation exists in no one else, for there is no other name under heaven given to men by which we must be saved.” (BSB translation) 12 “Neither is there salvation in any other: for there is none other name under heaven given among men, whereby we must be saved.” (KJV translation)

 “God is a Spirit…” and Jesus was a man born of flesh. When God told Adam and Eve they will die if they eat of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil He could not save mankind as a Spirit. God had to save us through flesh and blood to pay the death penalty for us. This debt was so powerful only God could pay it for us. God is a Spirit and cannot die. God put all His salvation for us in the man Jesus creating the final Lamb of God. Earthly lambs were temporary, but the heavenly Lamb was eternal.

Jesus has paid the price and is in heaven waiting for us to come home to God through his name. All of salvation is in his name covering all the spiritual aspect and the physical aspect. His name is the gate way holding all the truth and the making us alive with eternal life. Why his name?

Rom. 14:10 “…for we shall all stand before the judgment seat of Christ.” v11 “For it is written, As I live, saith the Lord, every knee shall bow to me, and every tongue shall confess to God.” v12 “So then every one of us shall give account of himself to God.” (KJV translation) Why his name? It is Jesus who we will be judged by.

Jesus is not only the Lamb of God for our salvation, but also the seat of judgment. God has put all of our destiny in the hands of Jesus. Accepting and rejecting forgiveness is found in no other. We all have the choice to live this life as Adam and Eve chose or we can choose to live this life as to what Jesus did.

THE ALL POWER

Mtt. 28:18 “And Jesus came and spake unto them, saying, All power is given unto me in heaven and in earth.” Heaven and earth is the spiritual aspect and the physical aspect. Jesus has All Power over both and it is All in him. This pretty much seals who has the power of heaven and who has the power of the earth.

All Power is in his name – Jesus. We are to do all things in Jesus from our second birth of being born again of the water and of the spirit. Jn. 3 Are you seeing a consistency of physical and spiritual? Do you see semblance of heaven and earth? Col. 317 “And whatsoever ye do in word or deed, do all in the name of the Lord Jesus, giving thanks to God and the Father by him.” If doing all in Jesus name would not this invoke that All Power in our lives?

ESSENTIAL & CRUCIAL

One of the most crucial understandings I believe is missed by almost all people in the religious world is that the salvation blood of the Lamb of God is totally in the name of Jesus. This scriptural understanding would mean if you are not baptized in Jesus name then the blood of forgiveness is not applied to you. The born of the water baptism in Father, Son, and Holy Ghost does NOT apply the blood of forgiveness because those are not names, but titles only. Do you write down Father as your name?

“Forgiveness in No Other” is a scriptural fact. All pastors, teachers, other Christian titles, and all followers who call themselves Christians must be baptized in Jesus name to be scripturally, spiritually, and physically have their sins forgiven and washed away. 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.” There is no other door out of the scriptural room. There is only one door in and to be saved is to go through this one door.

There are many many plans of salvation in all kinds of different Christian called religions, but there is only one plan of salvation the apostles preached and taught. This is your moment at the tree of the knowledge of good and the knowledge of evil. Do you listen to outside sources as your foundation or do you listen to God’s word only?

In the beginning with Adam and Eve how many changed and different words of God did it take to bring sin and death to mankind? What? Yes, how many words did it take for Adam and Eve to disobey God? It started out with just TWO words. The word “not” and “surely“. Could it be today’s salvation preached of “Just Believe” are the two words that do not complete on how to be saved? Ja. 2:19 You believe that God is one God. Good for you! Even the demons believe that—and tremble. Believing is equal to devils. There must be more to it than “just believe“.

GOD SAID

Gen. 2:16 “…Of every tree of the garden thou mayest freely eat:” 17 But of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil, thou shalt not eat of it: for in the day that thou eatest thereof thou shalt surely die.“

DEVIL SAID

Gen. 3:14“Now the serpent… said unto the woman, Yea, hath God said, Ye shall not eat of every tree of the garden?” v4 “And the serpent said unto the woman, Ye shall not surely die:” v5 “For God doth know that in the day ye eat thereof, then your eyes shall be opened, and ye shall be as gods, knowing good and evil”

One word plus the twenty-seven words God never said added to the basic thirty-nine words God did say changed the eternal destiny of mankind. Do you think the accuracy of God’s words is really important? The cost of all of mankind and the world a life of death, hell, and the grave with the eternal punishment of a lake of fire after the grave. Twenty-eight words decided the horrific things we experience in this world and the eternal one to come.

WHAT WAS SAID CONCLUSION

God said basically all trees were good to eat, except this one tree will bring death. The devil added “not” to all trees and you won’t die. We, mankind, cannot afford to accept opinions with words different or added to what God said. Do you want to gamble your eternal soul on just accepting a man’s word over God’s word? The devil picked and choose what he wanted from God’s word. Does mankind pick and choose what they want to preach is God’s plan of salvation? How many churches preaches something different from the same Bible?

I don’t know about you, but I don’t want what Adam and Eve chose; nor do I want what the devil is selling. This leaves my choice to be, I want what exactly God’s wants for my life with no deviation or added smooth salesman selling words. We all see the results in this life of choosing what the devil wants and even watering down in less portion of what God’s word truly says.

2 Tim. 4:3 “For the time will come when they will not endure sound doctrine; but after their own lusts shall they heap to themselves teachers, having itching ears;” v4 “And they shall turn away their ears from the truth, and shall be turned unto fables.” Does this explain all the different Christian religions? One God with one set of words for Adam and Eve. One devil mixing other words with God’s creating multitude of confusion. One God kept it all in one place for a life of oneness with Him.

CANNOT ESCAPE THE NAME

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.” “Forgiveness in No Other”. What hits me very very hard from the scriptures is the fact of the power of the blood of Jesus is in his name. When you apply that powerful name of Jesus in oneness of the word of God in water baptism all your sins are washed away. How powerful is that? If you have a lot of sin that understanding hits hard and powerful. If you have little sin it is less power to you and must imagine what it is like to others. The eternal power of the spiritual and the physical is forgiven from the Lamb of God in Jesus name. How powerful is that name of Jesus?

Many many Christian churches take this scripture of 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 what it takes to save your soul along with others saying all it takes is “just believe“. Is that all the Bible says to do?

Salvation in the Old Testament before Jesus, the man was born, was a temporarily moving forward of sins that had to be repeated over and over to keep pushing it forward. Jesus had God inside him paying our sin debt once and for all with no need of any more sacrifices. Forgiveness is given to us by the life of the innocent blood of the lamb. Water baptism in Jesus covers our sins.

To put it simply, baptism in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost does NOT apply the blood of the lamb. The scripture says, “….in the name…“. People today have said those people back then needed to know Jesus name, but not today. What? Father is a title not a name. Son is not a name, but a title. Holy Ghost is a title and not a name. Jesus is a name.

Father in this scripture is referring to us knowing Him in His first moment of fellowship with us as in the beginning God created the heavens and the earth as the Father of creation. Son is the second moment God’s Spirit dwelled within a man as the Lamb of God who walked among us to pay our sin debt, death, and hell. Holy Ghost is the third moment of our time in knowing God in the renewing of our spirit.

Here is absolutely the most unavoidable scriptural truth that the first time we knew God as the Father that He is a Spirit and there is NO BLOOD in a Spirit. God coming to us as the Holy Ghost is also a Spirit form and there is NO BLOOD. “Just believing” there is NO BLOOD. Son has all the blood of the Lamb of God within himself, but the title “Son” has NO BLOOD. These are NOT names, but three different stages of the one true God coming to us.

Lets look at the scripture once again. 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:” Look very closely, do you see it says, “…baptizing them in the name…“? The name is singular meaning one name. What do you think that name is? Is there any other name under heaven and earth given among men whereby we must be saved? Is Father a name under heaven? Is Son a name under heaven? Is Holy Ghost a name under heaven?

Apostle Matthew knew everyone would know he is quoting Jesus who came in his Father’s name (Jn. 5:43 “I am come in my Father’s name…“), fleshly born given name (Mtt. 1:21 “And she shall bring forth a son, and thou shalt call his name Jesus: for he shall save his people from their sins.“), and the Holy Ghost sent in his name (Jn. 1426 “But the Comforter, which is the Holy Ghost, whom the Father will send in my name, he shall teach you all things…“). Jesus is the name God put all of Himself from the beginning to the end.

Apostle Matthew was not promoting a trinity doctrine as many people today advocate. Apostle Matthew was pointing out God has come to us in three different stages/moments putting all of our salvation inside of Jesus and the name of Jesus. What all are we suppose to do in Jesus name? Col. 3:17 “And whatsoever ye do in word or deed, do all in the name of the Lord Jesus…” Are we doing something different using Father, Son, and Holy Ghost than the scriptures?

The trinity doctrine of Father, Son, and Holy Ghost does NOT have the BLOOD of salvation. The blood of salvation is inside the name of Jesus only. This is the same name that has the Mtt. 7:21-23 power to prophesy (predict future events), to cast out devils, physical healings, and other miraculous wonders no matter their belief system, but in the end at judgment it will be the question of have they been baptized into his body in Jesus name. Jesus is the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father, but by him.

I am telling you with all my heart and understanding the blood of forgiveness and the washing away of sins only come through the blood inside Jesus name. The power of that name is our refuge, our strong tower of safety, and the home for our purpose as a functioning part in the body of Jesus Christ. His name is the door to the ark of salvation before the flood of the end time judgment.

You are not scripturally saved unless you have been baptized in Jesus name and filled with his Holy Spirit. Acts 2:37 “Now when they heard this, they were pricked in their heart, and said unto Peter and to the rest of the apostles, Men and brethren, what shall we do?” v38 “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.“

Col. 2:9 “For in him dwelleth all the fulness of the Godhead bodily.” If the fulness of the Godhead dwells inside of Jesus and that name is applied to us what does the power of that blood and the power of that Spirit do to us?

Do you know the song:

What can wash away my sin?
Nothing but the blood of Jesus.
What can make me whole again?
Nothing but the blood of Jesus.

O precious is the flow
that makes me white as snow;
no other fount I know;
nothing but the blood of Jesus.

TAKE A CHANCE

If the devil added one word and twenty-seven words that God did not say and it caused all of the world to plummet into sin, death, hell, and the grave do you want to take a chance on your soul without searching things out for yourself? If mankind today are telling what God said about salvation should you not research yourself with God and His scriptures? I can’t a more powerful name to be saved in other than Jesus.

Do you want to take the chance of ignoring the thirty-four words of salvation from the man, Apostle Peter, that Jesus gave the kingdom of heaven to when he 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.” The Catholic church claims Apostle Peter as their first Pope and do not follow this scripture that Peter preached. Did they change it and added other things? Sounds like what the devil did to Adam and Eve and they followed along. What does it say about society today following whatever feels good?

Mtt. 16:18 “And I say also unto thee, That thou art Peter, and upon this rock I will build my church; and the gates of hell shall not prevail against it.” 19 “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.” Is Apostle Matthew or anyone else given a more powerful position as the Apostle Peter? Jesus, himself, gave this authority to Peter.

What is at stake here? Your soul and the divine life of fellowship you were meant to experience along the way in this world, accumulating truth God shows you, and the eternal life back home with God in heaven through the body and Spirit of Jesus Christ. God in Jesus covers the spiritual aspect and the physical aspect through the born again of the water and of the spirit in Jesus name.

Have you been submerged under water with the power and the blood of the Lamb of God in Jesus name fulfilling the born again of the water? Have you prayed unto God until the power of the Holy Ghost comes upon with the undeniable evidence of God’s Spirit speaking through you in Jesus name? What will you do? Don’t take my words for it. Read the Bible yourself with an openness to God and close your ears to the words of the devil and mankind. It hits me so powerfully the blood, the death, the burial, and the resurrection are all in the name of Jesus and backed by the All Mighty God’s Spirit.

THE BLOOD OF FORGIVENESS IS IN NO OTHER THAN IN THE NAME OF JESUS!

I Love Who I Am in Jesus

God dropped this understanding into my mind and it blessed my heart. I am asking Him to help me convey it to you. “I Love Who I Am in Jesus” has a dual meaning when this thought came to me. I see with an understanding of who I use to be before accepting Jesus in my life. I see with understanding other people in the news and in the local community of not having Jesus in their life. The evil and darkness that was in me, in the news, and those in our community pushed me to the place where God dropped the wonderful understanding “I Love Who I Am in Jesus“.

“I Love Who I Am in Jesus” is not a statement of perfect completion because I am always on a daily basis growing and changing the necessary things towards that goal, which I believe only the true perfection comes after this life. “I Love Who I Am in Jesus” is a statement of a present day status. The dual side to this statement is “I do not love who I was outside of Jesus“.

All of mankind is born outside of Jesus with a fleshly nature that has the potential and susceptibleness to doing things that are evil. Rom. 3:23 “for all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God“. This is what God says our flesh is capable of doing to ourselves and others. Read over these and check off the ones in your mind that leaps out to you and to those you see in the news along with those in your community.

Gal. 5:19 “The acts of the flesh are obvious: sexual immorality, impurity, and debauchery;” v20 “idolatry and sorcery; hatred, discord, jealousy, and rage; rivalries, divisions, factions,” v21 “and envy; drunkenness, orgies, and the like…” (BSB translation) Don’t worry about the words you do not understand, but for now the ones you do understand. You can research the meaning of others whenever you want.

There is another list of things of our flesh God tells us that will exist in what He calls the last days before Jesus returns to the earth. This prediction of the last days is pointing out those outside of Jesus that will cause terrible and horrible times for themselves and all of mankind. It will be worth reading over these checking the boxes that reminds you of yourself and those you see in the news and in the community. It really reveals the truth of why “I do not love who I was outside of Jesus“. I hope you see the same for yourself.

2 Tim. 3:1 “But mark this: There will be terrible times in the last days.” v2 “People will be lovers of themselves, lovers of money, boastful, proud, abusive, disobedient to their parents, ungrateful, unholy,” v3 “without love, unforgiving, slanderous, without self-control, brutal, not lovers of the good,” v4 “treacherous, rash, conceited, lovers of pleasure rather than lovers of God-” v5 “having a form of godliness but denying its power…“

After reading all of these things of the flesh and you see our news today, I believe you will see we are in the last days and why I appreciate loving the what I am presently am in Jesus and not what I was outside of Jesus. It is possible if you did not see any of these things pertaining to your flesh that you are in the group of people that the evil god of this world has blinded the minds with darkness to those who do not believe and not seeing the light of the one true God and Jesus Christ. 2 Corinthians 4:4 I was once there.

From the list of the last days fleshly actions and thoughts 2 Tim. 3:6 “They are the kind who worm their way into homes and gain control over gullible women, who are loaded down with sins and are swayed by all kinds of evil desires,” How many woman of all ages do we see in the news and the community doing and saying crazy things outside of the scope of common sense in the streets, in the schools, on the internet, and from professional services? It is not just woman, but also males being lead of those you read about the flesh being the leader of their thoughts and actions.

One of the reasons I say, “I Love Who I Am in Jesus” is because if I were still outside of Jesus I would be totally at the mercy of the deception and lies of the evil god of this world along with my selfish flesh. This would be putting me in a place of 2 Tim. 3:7 “always learning but never able to come to a knowledge of the truth“, which the frustration and stress would invoke the state of violence and killing because the inability to see and accept words of truth.

Our flesh and the god of this world puts us in a state of not believing in God and Jn. 12:40 “He has blinded their eyes and hardened their hearts, so they can neither see with their eyes, nor understand with their hearts, nor turn—and I would heal them.” It is our free will choice to give God a chance in our life. “I Love Who I Am in Jesus” because I gave God that chance to be in my life and share each day with me.

The other reason I say, “I Love Who I Am in Jesus” is because seeing the truth of salvation found only in Jesus, being baptized in Jesus name washing away all of my evil sins and receiving his Holy Spirit as he gave me the words to speak as a sign he had moved inside my body with my spirit to save from this world and my flesh. Not everyone sees this revelation of the original plan of salvation. The plan of salvation Peter preached has been changed by so many Christian claiming religions. I feel this is a dangerous thing and Apostle Paul warns people about this in Gal. 1:8.

I can say in full assurance in this present day my status in the plan of salvation with God and His word lines up in oneness completely with Acts 2:38 “Peter replied, “Repent and be baptized, every one of you, in the name of Jesus Christ for the forgiveness of your sins. And you will receive the gift of the Holy Spirit.” v39 “The promise is for you and your children and for all who are far off – for all whom the Lord our God will call.” There is no scripture that says this plan of salvation stopped, changed, or is not longer necessary.

“I Love Who I Am in Jesus” because I know Jesus gave the keys to the kingdom of heaven with the God given power to bind and loose to Peter to preach salvation in Acts 2:38 and not to Matthew to contradict Peter with Mtt. 28:19. Most Christian religions follow Matthew over Peter. What did Jesus have Matthew to write down about Peter? And did he contradict Peter?

Matthew recorded Jesus telling Peter, Mtt. 16:19 “I will give you the keys of the kingdom of heaven. Whatever you bind on earth will be bound in heaven, and whatever you loose on earth will be loosed in heaven.” Matthew did NOT contradict Peter saying in Mtt. 28:19 “… baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit,” Jesus is the name of the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit.

Jesus came to us in the name of Father (Jn. 5:43 I have come in My Father’s name…), obviously he is the name of the son (Mtt. 1:21 “…thou shalt call his name Jesus…“), and the Holy Spirit is sent to us in Jesus name (Jn. 14:26 “…the Holy Spirit whom the Father will send in My name…“).

Not all Christians or the world knows and accepts this truth. Matthew is simply pointing the three different stages God has come to us in what Peter said in Acts 2:38 as the Father of creation, the son of redemption, and the Holy Spirit of regeneration are all in Jesus name. Col. 2:9 “For in Christ all the fullness of the Deity dwells in bodily form.” Some Christian religions believe in a trinity of God and worry about offending their belief a trinity. There was no battle of the trinity and the oneness of God with Peter. Peter did not believe in the trinity of God nor did he worry about offending by baptizing in Jesus name.

After obeying God’s word and receiving the gift of God’s Holy Spirit according to Acts 2:38, I now strive to have Gal. 5:22 “.. the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness,” v23  “gentleness, and self-control. Against such things there is no law.” (BSB translation) A reminder that I have not perfected these traits, but it is a joy to be striving for these things instead of the horrible evil list of things the flesh will do along with ignoring God’s wholesome pure truth.

“I Love Who I Am in Jesus” and “I do not love who I was outside of Jesus“. Being in the state of mind, heart, soul, and strength to have the fruits of God’s Spirit in your life removes the need to have any law or police to keep you in good behavior. The law and the police are for those outside of Jesus blinded by the god of this world and the works of their flesh you see in the news, internet, and the community in these last days.

“I Love Who I Am in Jesus” is not a proclamation of being perfect. It is the foundation of a great gratitude and love being born again of the water and of the Spirit. I love being who I am in Jesus and I don’t want to be anything else, but to be more like him every second that I exist. Jesus promotes goodness.

Look at yourself and ask, am I satisfied with who I am right now? Do I want my flesh that will die one day to dominate how I live or do I want my spirit to have the roommate of God’s Holy Spirit showing me the right way to live this life leaving it behind to go to the place called heaven?

Obeying Acts 2:38 puts you inside the body of Jesus and the Spirit of Jesus inside of you.

“I Love Who I Am in Jesus” I am so happy and deeply grateful to God.

Jesus, Please Know Me

One of my morning routines is to have the audio Bible read to me through my Bluetooth earbuds. The scripture that was being read to me was Mtt. 7:21 “Not every one that saith unto me, Lord, Lord, shall enter into the kingdom of heaven; but he that doeth the will of my Father which is in heaven.” 22 “Many will say to me in that day, Lord, Lord, have we not prophesied in thy name? and in thy name have cast out devils? and in thy name done many wonderful works?” 23 “And then will I profess unto them, I never knew you: depart from me, ye that work iniquity.“

Sadness was the first feeling that hit me hearing these words. There will be people, which keeps me in question to examine myself, that will actually argue and debate God about calling Him Lord here on earth, telling Him they prophesied in His name. They had enough faith in His name to cast out devils along with other wonderful works done in His name. This has all the appearance of a strong faith people convinced in their own minds of being right with God.

Maybe, their faith was strong enough to believe in God like the devils do, but the difference was the devils tremble at that knowledge James 2:19? Also, there were some people in the scriptures practicing casting out devils in Jesus name and the devils replied, “…Jesus I know, and Paul I know; but who are ye?” Acts 19:16  God always honors belief and faith in Him, but it seems there is more required than just believing and performing miracles. There is the following of His word.

Could it be these people did not practice 2 Cor. 13:5 “Examine yourselves, whether ye be in the faith; prove your own selves. Know ye not your own selves, how that Jesus Christ is in you, except ye be reprobates?” Could it be they only accepted part of God’s word and ignored other parts that are crucial to their walk with God not fully accepting Jesus Christ inside themselves? There is a following factor with God. Rom. 8:14 “For as many as are led by the Spirit of God, they are the sons of God.“

At this point and time sadness was mixing with a respectful fear in the relationship that I hold with God most dear to my heart. When the audio reached the point of “…I never knew you: depart from me…” Mtt. 17:23 It hit me like a ton of bricks. I love God, His Word, His Spirit, and the daily relationship with Him through Jesus Christ and He said to them depart and He never knew them.

God saved me from such darkness in my mind, heart, and soul. I could not thank Him enough for His living, loving, warm light of salvation and truth. The thought hit me so strong that for me this would be hell within itself before even being sent to the place called hell just hearing the words to depart from me, for I never knew you. This is where the title came from when I said back to the Lord “Jesus, Please Know Me“. I don’t have to go to hell before I already feel hell in hearing those words. Those words are hell within themselves.

I could hear the thief on the cross saying to Jesus, Luke 23:41 “…remember me when thou comest into thy kingdom.” This was after the thief examined himself accepting he was a sinner receiving his just reward for the evil deeds he had done and that Jesus was innocent of all they had accused him of. I want to hear what the thief heard from Jesus, Luke 23:43“… Verily I say unto thee, Today shalt thou be with me in paradise.” and not the words of “…I never knew you: depart from me…“.Mtt. 17:23

Two things happen with the thief that I believe we all must daily consider. The thief saw his own condition, confessing it with all honesty, and seeing Jesus for all his purity of serving God could save him. We have the scriptures to see ourselves, to get to know God in all the truth, and all the oneness He wants us to walk with Him.

At this moment He dropped the scripture into my spirit Jn. 17:3 “And this is life eternal, that they might know thee the only true God, and Jesus Christ, whom thou hast sent.” I realize believing and having faith is necessary, but it’s partner is just as equally crucial in ‘knowing‘ the only true God and Jesus Christ finishes the relationship of oneness God desires to have with us. Jesus always knew the will of God as we are to have the same mind set.

It is absolutely horrible placing yourself in the crowd using all the power of the imagination of those people standing before Him and hearing them say, Mtt. 7:22 “…Lord, Lord, have we not prophesied in thy name? and in thy name have cast out devils? and in thy name done many wonderful works?” Then the voice of the Lord coming back in response with 23 “…I never knew you: depart from me, ye that work iniquity.” I catch my breathe exhaling slowly with all my spirit, “Jesus, Please Know Me“.

Mtt. 25:31 “When the Son of man shall come in his glory, and all the holy angels with him, then shall he sit upon the throne of his glory:” 32 “And before him shall be gathered all nations: and he shall separate them one from another, as a shepherd divideth his sheep from the goats:” “Jesus, Please Know Me“

Sheep and goats have a similar appearance on the outside, but are truly and completely different on the inside. Help us, Jesus to follow you in all truth and changing ourselves to matching your word as close as we can. I try to continually change my ways into the more truth I find in the word of God taking my faith and putting it in an action of following in obedience.

As an example, I saw in the scriptures they baptize in Jesus name only for the washing away of sins because the blood of atonement and forgiveness is inside the name of Jesus only. I was baptized in the Father, Son, and Holy Ghost, which are titles of status and not a name. I got re-baptized in Jesus name applying the Lamb’s blood of God washing away all my sins.

I was told, if you just believe the Holy Spirit will automatically dwell inside your heart, but the scriptures say, Acts1:8 “But ye shall receive power, after that the Holy Ghost is come upon you…” 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.” God scripturally gives us a sign we have received His 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.” This is a very intimate bonding with God that our believing alone is not enough without the power of His Spirit.

“Jesus, Please Know Me” is more than just believing in God. It is a combination of believing and obeying His word in all truth to be true worshippers of God Jn. 4:24. Obedience is the starting point of going beyond believing only and the foundation to start building upon in your life starts with obeying this scripture:

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.“

Start your journey of “Jesus, Please Know Me” by 2 Cor. 13:5 “Examine yourselves, whether ye be in the faith; prove your own selves. Know ye not your own selves, how that Jesus Christ is in you, except ye be reprobates?” Don’t be the one who debates with God saying you did all these things in his name all the while the lack of following the way of God more perfectly becomes your hearing God say to you, depart from me for I never knew you.

JESUS, PLEASE KNOW ME

Inside the Name of Jesus

Jn. 1:1“In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God.” 2 “The same was in the beginning with God.” Gen. 1:1“In the beginning God created the heaven and the earth.“

In the beginning was the name of Jesus, and the name of Jesus was with God, and the name of Jesus was God. It was the same in the beginning with God. In the beginning was God, and God was with the name of Jesus, and God was the name of Jesus. Seeing the name of the Word identifying God is seeing why devils tremble and everything will bow and confess He is God.

In the beginning was the Word. Jn. 1:14 “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.” That flesh we have come to know was Jesus and what was inside him was the Word. The Word is God and God is the Word. Therefore, the name of Jesus is the name God wanted to be known as from the very beginning.

Jn. 1:3 “All things were made by him; and without him was not any thing made that was made.” The Word was in the name of Jesus in the beginning that said, Gen. 1:3 “… Let there be light: and there was light.” The power of God spoke through His name and the sun was created in space with the knowledge and presence God desired.

What is inside the name of Jesus? The Word, the One True God, and All Power is inside the name of Jesus. After the fleshly man Jesus was resurrected from the dead he said, Mtt. 28:18 “… All power is given unto me in heaven and in earth.” After Jesus the man finished the mission for our salvation God released all power into the name of Jesus.

The Word is the All Knowledge of God, the One True God is the All Present Spirit, and the All Power is self evident laid out before us. The name of Jesus is the Word, the One True God, and the Power of all things. Jn. 1:3 “All things were made by him; and without him was not any thing made that was made.“

Speaking the name of Jesus is speaking the knowledge, presence, and power of the scriptures God gave of Himself to us. When you say, ‘Jesus‘ you have invoked all the Power of creation, the Knowledge of His promises, and His Presence to act upon it.

God spoke through the prophet Isaiah, Is. 55:11 “So shall my word be that goeth forth out of my mouth: it shall not return unto me void, but it shall accomplish that which I please, and it shall prosper in the thing whereto I sent it.” When you speak the name of Jesus in faith you have put into motion the word that created the heavens. Nothing can stop that word from returning to God empty, but full of pleasing accomplishments to God and a continuance of good prosperity. All the Word is inside the name of Jesus.

Jesus is the Beginning and the End. Rev. 1:8 “I am Alpha and Omega, the beginning and the ending, saith the Lord, which is, and which was, and which is to come, the Almighty.” Heb. 13:8 “Jesus Christ the same yesterday, and to day, and for ever.” When you speak the name of Jesus you are speaking the totality of God from His Spirit body form, to the physical body form, and returning to us in His Holy Spirit form.

Is. 9:6 “For unto us a child is born, unto us a son is given: and the government shall be upon his shoulder: and his name shall be called Wonderful, Counsellor, The mighty God, The everlasting Father, The Prince of Peace.” The name of Jesus has all these things wrapped up inside of it and we speak his name so casually and not in deep spiritual thought of what is inside that name leaving our lips. God is inside that name.

The name of Jesus carries all the things God wants between mankind and Himself. 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.” There is an authority in the name of Jesus more than we really realize. The centurion recognized Jesus had authority and said just speak the word and his servant would be healed.

The name of Jesus not only has the Almighty God inside of it, but also has the pure sacrificed blood as the Lamb of God in our place to wash away all our sins. If you obey 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.” not only are you having the name of God, the Knowledge of God, the Power of God, and the Presence of God, but also the only blood God will accept to wash away all your sins.

Father, Son, and Holy Ghost baptism by Matthew 28:19 does not have the power all rolled into one like the name of Jesus. Matthew was not contradicting water baptism in Jesus name in Acts 2:38. He was simply identifying the power that is in Jesus name. He identified the ‘Father‘ of creation who was known as the Word in the beginning and nothing was created, but by Him.

Matthew was identifying the ‘Son‘ as God who came inside a form of a man personally to die for our sins only to resurrect with the power to destroy death through Jesus. 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;“

Matthew was identifying the ‘Holy Ghost‘ as God inside of us reconciling us back to Himself through Jesus. 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.” He gave us 2 Cor. 5:5 “Now he that hath wrought us for the selfsame thing is God, who also hath given unto us the earnest of the Spirit.“

When you speak the name of Jesus whether in prayer, praise, or baptism you have invoked All the Power, the Knowledge, and the Presence of God including the eternal power of the blood of Jesus Christ. Saying, ‘Jesus‘ is speaking the Word of God, the redemption of God, and the eternal life of God into your life and others. The name of Jesus has all the scriptures inside of it along with your favorite ones all compiled into one when you say, ‘Jesus‘.

You don’t have to know all the Bible, but the more you know the more when you speak His name the power of understanding and perception opens the miracles you have longed for. Jn. 17:3 “And this is life eternal, that they might know thee the only true God, and Jesus Christ, whom thou hast sent.” Seeing what all is inside the name of Jesus explains Mtt. 17:20 “…If ye have faith as a grain of mustard seed, ye shall say unto this mountain, Remove hence to yonder place; and it shall remove; and nothing shall be impossible unto you.” Keep looking deeply into the name of Jesus searching for the depth of God and you will never be the same.

Jn. 14:13 “And whatsoever ye shall ask in my name, that will I do, that the Father may be glorified in the Son.” Jn. 14:14; 15:16; 16:23, 24, 26 We need not to speak his name so commonly without savoring the things wrapped up inside that name and allow a dullness waxing cold come over our spirit to the sound of that name.

________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________

Being baptized in Jesus name unleashes the blood inside that name with the Power of God applying the death of Jesus, the likeness of the burial of Jesus, and the resurrection of the forgiveness of Jesus making your vessel clean for the receiving of the Holy Ghost in Jesus – all from the name.

NO OTHER NAME UNDER HEAVEN OR EARTH

Jesus said, Jn. 5:43 “I am come in my Father’s name…” Mtt. 1:21 “…shall bring forth a son, and thou shalt call his name Jesus: for he shall save his people from their sins.” Jn. 14:26 “…the Holy Ghost, whom the Father will send in my name…“

Father is a title, the Son is a title, and the Holy Ghost is a title and not a name. Father is the God of creation and God is a Spirit. There is no blood or death that can be applied to God. This is the same with the Holy Ghost. Only Jesus totally encapsulated the Spirit of God bodily Col. 2:9, took unto himself all the sins of the world 2 Cor. 5:21 , and setting us free by conquering death and hell Rev. 1:18 .

Jesus has the Word, the Blood, and the Spirit to save us all and empower us to live an overcoming life in this world. Do you really see what is inside the name of Jesus? And the power he has given to us?

You need to be covered in water baptism speaking the name of Jesus Christ over you to apply the blood that is inside that name releasing yourself into the freedom of His kingdom, a vessel made clean for the receiving of His Holy Spirit. Allow Him to clothe your spirit with His Word and receive the feeding of your hunger with His Spirit. Mtt. 4:4 “…Man shall not live by bread alone, but by every word that proceedeth out of the mouth of God.” Jesus has the Word and the Spirit from the beginning to the End.

Just Stuff

I had a car accident when I was a teenager. I was really upset because we were a financially struggling family. It was a an old car and it was all my parents had to offer me. As I stood before my dad telling him about the fender bender I was trying to hold back the tears. My dad who was a man of few words looked at me and said, “We can replace the car, but we cannot replace you.” I was stunned by those words.

This was a message I did not fully understand until later in life. I thought and treated the car like it was a life and death thing. When you are raised poor every material thing becomes so valuable that a subconscious thought and feeling is attached to that object as life or death. I cannot live without it because I cannot replace as others can. The car was as old as me at the time and I did not care. I was glad just to have a car.

In reality the car was “Just Stuff” compared to me in my father’s eyes. Understanding this puts things in perspective. Having all the money in the world could be nice, but in the end it is “Just Stuff“. The only thing you can keep inside your spirit is the precious memories you have created with those you love. If you want to take your money with you when you die. You can have your spouse to write you a check and put it in your coffin, but you cannot put your money literally inside your spirit.

You can look at your vehicle(s), your home(s), your land(s), your clothes, your jewelry(s), your tools, and all other physical things you possess with an attitude of being blessed, but in the end they are “Just Stuff” that someone else will decide what to do with them. I am still here for now, but the car is long gone.

This is where God began to get my attention about what He thinks is “Just Stuff“. I had never thought about what God calls “Just Stuff“. He immediately took me back to the beginning when He created the heavens and the earth. What do you think God considers “Just Stuff“?

Gen. 1:4 “And God saw the light, that it was good…” God looked at the sun seeing the light coming from it and called it good. The physical sun was okay, but the light was good. The physical sun was “Just Stuff“, but the light was more important. Seeing past the surface is the perception and understanding God loves for us to see.

Gen. 1:10 “And God called the dry land Earth; and the gathering together of the waters called the Seas: and God saw that it was good.” The land and water was okay, but the gathering together in coexist was good. The dirt and water was okay, but it was “Just Stuff“. The ability for the opposites to coexist was more important. You can be different and exist as one without controversy. Our body has many different parts, but coexist as one.

Gen. 1:12 “And the earth brought forth grass, and herb yielding seed after his kind, and the tree yielding fruit, whose seed was in itself, after his kind: and God saw that it was good.” The grass, herbs, and trees yielding from its own seed was okay, but the procreating after its own kind was good. The grass, herbs, and trees were “Just stuff“. The multiplying creation after its own kind was good. God loved procreation from within itself.

Gen 1:18 “And to rule over the day and over the night, and to divide the light from the darkness: and God saw that it was good.” The rotating the sunlight and darkness was okay, but the rule dividing the two was good. The taking turns of light by day and darkness by night was “Just Stuff“, but what was good to God was the rule of separation of light and darkness.

Gen. 1:21 “And God created great whales, and every living creature that moveth, which the waters brought forth abundantly, after their kind, and every winged fowl after his kind: and God saw that it was good.” The whales, other water living things, and the winged birds moving was physically okay, but again it was the abundantly bringing forth after their own kind God saw as good. It was the abundance of life in the water and in the air that was good. All about the life.

Gen 1:25 “And God made the beast of the earth after his kind, and cattle after their kind, and every thing that creepeth upon the earth after his kind: and God saw that it was good.” The physical beast, cattle, and every thing that moves on the earth was again okay and “Just Stuff” of the physical realm, but what was the beauty to God was the reproducing life after its own kind that was good.

Gen. 1:26 “And God said, Let us make man in our image, after our likeness: 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.” Gen. 1:27 “So God created man in his own image, in the image of God created he him; male and female created he them.” 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 had no one else like Him to talk to at this point in creation. The angels were not like Him. The light, darkness, grass, herbs, trees, creatures of the water, land or air were not like Him. God is a Spirit with All Knowledge, All Power, and All Presence. God wanted something like Him with knowledge, power, and presence. This is where mankind came into being from the land, water, and air.

God made man from the earth in an image of Himself if He were to be of a physical form, hence you have Jesus the man came into being later on. God made man from the three elements of the earth, the water, and the air creating a physical body, but the most important part was the eternal soul inside that was good to God. The image and likeness in body form to God’s Spirit was “Just Stuff“, but the eternal unique soul inside was the most important.

God made man to where He could easily replace any physical part, but the eternal soul was like unto Him with knowledge, power, and presence. God created inside of man the light separated from darkness, coexisting as one with water, land, and air. God created man with the ability of procreation. God put everything like unto Himself in man reflecting Him as their Father. The body of mankind is okay, but development of the eternal soul was more important and good to God. You will see the value come out later on.

All the physical things were okay, but the spiritual things from them were good to God. It was the light shining separately in the darkness of space. It was the water and land coexisting as one. It was the land procreating grass, herbs, and trees producing after its own kind. It was the set rule of rotating moments with light and darkness. It was the water and the air procreating life after its own kind. It was the land procreating creatures after its own kind. It was a son like unto Himself procreating, having a portion in His knowledge, His Power, and His presence as a ruler over all the earth.

All the physical things was “Just Stuff“. It was the spiritual side of things like the light separated from darkness. It was the procreating life of water, land, and air. God can replace any of these things, but He cannot replace the eternally unique soul in you. All these things come from within themselves as a reflection of all things comes from within God Himself. It is a within within type creation.

Gen. 1:31 “And God saw every thing that he had made, and, behold, it was very good. And the evening and the morning were the sixth day.” The physical side to all things were okay and “Just Stuff” to God. The spiritual function God’s Knowledge, Power, and Presence was the most important to the life of all things after its own kind. He enjoyed the flourishing flow of life inside all things.

When mankind made a bad choice and wrecked the car so to speak, God could have easily have said, I can replace all things, but I cannot replace your eternal unique soul. I can move heaven and earth, but your eternal soul can only be saved by the free will choices you make. If I provide another choice.

Adam and Eve sinned against God by breaking the spiritual rule of eating and mixing the fruit of the knowledge of evil with His knowledge of good within them. God had warned this one tree would bring death. Here is where you see God’s values and what is “Just Stuff” to Him.

DEALING WITH THE WRECK

God dealt with the serpent for tempting the woman to sin making him cursed above all creatures for the rest of his life Gen. 3:14 “And the Lord God said unto the serpent, Because thou hast done this, thou art cursed above all cattle, and above every beast of the field; upon thy belly shalt thou go, and dust shalt thou eat all the days of thy life:” Your physical life will be of the lowest of low.

Your spiritual life will be an enemy to the woman with a hatred that he will crush your head as you bruise his heel. Gen. 3:15 “And I will put enmity between thee and the woman, and between thy seed and her seed; it shall bruise thy head, and thou shalt bruise his heel.”

God was not worried about the sun, moon, and stars at this moment. He was not looking at the water with streaming life or the land of grass, herbs, and trees. All this is “Just Stuff” He can recreate them anytime. What are these physical things that can pass away compared to the eternal things? God has locked onto something that is most important to Him.

Sin has captured what God values the most. Sin is going to torture what God loves the most. The pain of childbirth is not the issue. The cursed ground of the earth with thorns and thistles is not the main concern. The eating in sorrow, the laboring sweat, and returning to the dust of the earth in death is not the issue. Gen. 3:16-19 

All physical things can be replaced, but I cannot replace your eternal unique soul headed to a place that was meant only for the devil and his demons. God has made our eternally rock solid soul in our bodies by the breathe of His Spirit like no other creation has been created. Everything is “Just Stuff“, but not our soul with God. We are His children. We carry His Knowledge, Power, and Presence like no other.

NOT JUST STUFF

If you will notice God said, Gen. 3:15 “And I will…“. This is personal with God. Everything after “And I will…” means God will personally deal with it. I will put hatred towards an enemy in the generations to come towards sin and evil. I will create a male seed of the woman to deal a death blow to the head of sin while you will be just a bruise to his heel. Gen. 3:15 “And I will put enmity between thee and the woman, and between thy seed and her seed; it shall bruise thy head, and thou shalt bruise his heel.”

Okay, devil you brought it to my children and now I am going to bring it to you. I will come in the flesh of a man that will constantly crush your temptations, do and say the right thing pleasing to my Spirit. He will pay the price of death for the sin debt of mankind and rise again opening a doorway to heaven for my children to be set free. The gates of hell shall not prevail against this truth.

It’s not car, the house, or things of the earth. I am not coming to save the world. It is “Just Stuff” to me. I have come for my children. The man Jesus will have all of Me inside Him. Col. 2:9 “For in him dwelleth all the fulness of the Godhead bodily.” I will be inside Jesus reconnecting My children to Me with forgiveness. 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.“

The soul purpose God wanted to be in Jesus personally was 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;” 15 “And deliver them who through fear of death were all their lifetime subject to bondage.“

The Light, the land separated from water; the land vegetation; rule over day and night; separate light and darkness; creatures of water and air procreate; creatures of land procreate, and man and woman procreate was not the real stuff God was looking as the most valuable. It was and is the eternal soul of His children inside mankind. The greatest treasure to God is our unique souls and personalities.

God was in the man Jesus the whole time. When Jesus the man was dying on the cross Mtt. 27:46 “…cried with a loud voice, saying, Eli, Eli, lama sabachthani? that is to say, My God, my God, why hast thou forsaken me?” was the moment that all the sins of mankind God left to the man Jesus to encapsulate inside his pure innocent Lamb’s blood of Life the payment for our eternal debt to death, hell, and the grave.

God made Jesus the man with the earth, blood, and air we need to be born again. Everything was “Just Stuff” with God. This is what God values the most – your life. This is why God put salvation inside of Jesus. Jesus has the flesh that resurrected from the grave to die no more. Jesus has the blood with the power to wash away all sins. Jesus has the power of the Spirit of God rebirth our lost eternal soul with resurrection power.

Water, land, and air of the earth is replaceable. Our bodies with a repented soul being baptized in water in Jesus name is the ONLY way our sins will be washed away and a symbolism of being buried in death with him only to come up out of the water like unto a resurrection with him. The blood is inside the name of Jesus. In our praise and worship of God through Jesus is the ONLY way we can be born of the Holy Spirit with power enough to change our eternal soul fulfilling the born again of the water and of the Spirit.

God made us in a way He cannot replace our soul, but He can make a way for our soul to be reborn anew maintaining the uniqueness of our character He originally created. This is why God had Jesus the man to say to us, Jn. 14:6 “…I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me.” 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.” Jesus is the only one powerful enough to pay our total debt.

God as the Father of creation from the beginning made this personal from the Gen. 3:15:“And I will…” to God inside Jesus on the cross Jn. 19:30 “…It is finished…” to us God in the Holy Spirit Acts 1:8 “But ye shall receive power, after that the Holy Ghost is come upon you…“

My dad, “We can replace the car, but we cannot replace you.” The car is “Just Stuff“, but your soul is worth more than the world. My God, I can replace your fleshly body, but I cannot replace your soul. I can only offer a free choice to be born again in your spirit. It is your choice to 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.“

ALL OF CREATION IS “JUST STUFF” TO GOD. “YOU” ARE HIS TREASURE!
