We are in a state of decay and that is the flesh not the Spirit.
The Spirit is LIFE.
The flesh is dead because of the old nature.
Hate to tell you this but you and me are fading away.
This planet and the whole universe has an expiry date, that’s the science in whom you trust, the rate of decay is how they measure time. So our big clock is ticking towards the midnight hour, ding ding dong dong twelve times, Cinderella needs to leave the party.
So this physical universe like our physical bodies will expire.
That wasn’t a problem when I was 16, I didn’t feel like I was aged and ready for decommissioning in a rest home, but now that I am in the vicinity of that age OH NO fading away. At 16 – 30 I never imagined it happening to me the getting old thing, only those I observed and I knew around me who were - oldies. Like I had my whole future, time was my friend. Was I ok and had it together – hell no! I was messed up inside but I had time. Now father time is holding that clock over me, it’s a stop watch and man I am catching up with his age minus the long beard of experience watching others age away over the eons.
However, I am here to tell you Good News. My focus isn’t the bad news, just look around, look at the news media, there is plenty of bad news to go around. The Good News is the Spirit is Life, your spirit is alive when you are translated out of the Kingdom of Darkness into the Glorious Kingdom of Light. Just receive Jesus, that is born again, saved out of darkness, becoming a believer meaning; making Him your Lord and Saviour. We are made a brand New Creation, the old has passed away.
But hang on it is a process to walk through, not everything from your past is dealt with when you were first saved.
Why? I don’t know, I don’t have all the answers. Just that it is an interaction, a relationship, us and Him work it out together on the way. You and I make the right choices, however some things you and I struggle with to let go of straight away for whatever reason, addictions, hurts, wounds, learning to love and trusting Him with your whole heart is all something we grow into.
Sooner the better, but 40 years later out of the desert into the promised land could have been 14 days, that’s life that’s human nature, we are stubborn and we are hurt also and sometimes real bad and that takes time to face and deal with. Gods mercies are new every morning, make it today or make a step towards your deliverance today, trust Him in the process and the timing. His best is waiting for you to step into and it is glorious and full of joy, life and love.
Enter His rest by faith, this is you and HIM together not a solo effort to change, don’t strive your way into the Kingdom of ruling and reigning, but be aware we are made to rule and reign and not be under, we are above the circumstances, nothing on earth above or below can stop His love or us rising above.
Maybe it means some dying, needs to happen before we are resurrected, that’s OK because the flesh is dead due to sin.
What do you mean being as good as dead? How can dead be good?
Abraham found out the faith way.
Romans 4 19 And not being weak in faith, he did not consider his own body, already dead (since he was about a hundred years old), and the deadness of Sarah’s womb.
20 He did not waver at the promise of God through unbelief, but was strengthened in faith, giving glory to God,
21 and being fully convinced that what He had promised He was also able to perform.
22 And therefore “it was accounted to him for righteousness.”
- even though Abrahams body was as good as dead, he still believed that God would perform what He said he would do. Your Spirit is Alive. We have Newness of Life to rule and reign in this life – that is NOW not in the by and by next life, yes it is bliss there, but we need to take hold of what He took hold of us for and that is as Jesus is the Head of this Body of Believers, we get to do the greater works as the Spirit wills.
So get on board this Glory Train, full steam ahead, we are boarding the train, its at the station in your life, you got your ticket and now its time to get on board with the program, the trip of your lifetime. Where the Spirit of God is there is liberty, so His will being done here goes beyond your wildest dreams and imagination, better than any movie, because you are actually the star and so is everyone else who receives the ticket gets on board and reaches the destination.
Deviation was to be the title of this message.
But I don’t deviate here I am still on subject.
What is deviation? Going off course.
Not on track to your destination.
That’s where a course correction is needed.
Get your bearings again, see the bigger picture, get clarity, see through the fog and the distractions, the delusions that steer you away.
Don’t be a deviant, be a Devo in the right sense.
That is don’t go backwards and go off.
Many things come along to deflect us and keep us from even reaching the station to get on board. Just remember Abraham, he was good as dead, history, story over, past it, he was a goner, done, we used to say he is cactus, had the cactus, just a prickly old thing out in the desert somewhere.
Abraham got a promise from God, he got a picture of the future, we all can get our very own future from God, as we are all predestined for good works, we are His Workmanship. Meaning God has an individual gift wrapped destiny for everyone. The big key is Abraham was a friend of God, he got to hang out with God and fully respected Him and served Him as a friend, not a stranger to Gods business, he sat down with God saw the plan, got involved and went off with the blueprint to build His Kingdom come on earth as it is in Heaven. God is inviting you to do the same. Are you a copy of Abraham? No just be you, no one does you like you can, no one can only you. God loves you that’s how it is, learn His language and do the same.
Once more God will shake the heavens and the earth.
Hebrews 12
25See that you do not refuse Him who speaks. For if they did not escape who refused Him who spoke on earth, much more shall we not escape if we turn away from Him who speaks from heaven,
26whose voice then shook the earth; but now He has promised, saying, “Yet once more I shake not only the earth, but also heaven.”
27Now this, “Yet once more,” indicates the removal of those things that are being shaken, as of things that are made, that the things which cannot be shaken may remain.
28Therefore, since we are receiving a kingdom which cannot be shaken, let us have grace, by which we may serve God acceptably with reverence and godly fear.
29For our God is a consuming fire.
Notice only the things that cant be shaken, they are established as rock solid by God will remain.
That is one big thick shake.
Could be chocolate but not too late or latte.
Not lukewarm, Hot or Cold, Ok be cold but don’t remain there, hot is best like a hot chocolate with cream on top. Now lukewarm is a mixture and that tastes bad and ends up being tossed out, don’t be there OK. Alright so you could be cold on the PPT Team (see previous messages) - knocking these messages, attacking the faith, anything Christian you oppose, mockers, knockers, but the Good News is God loves you and calls you out of the lies, deceptions, pride, rebellion into a new life with Him. In other words he doesn’t want you to remain a fool. Gods will is none would perish and all would be saved, so receive Jesus today it is the best decision of your life, I was there once and so was everyone, we don’t condemn you and God doesn’t either, don’t condemn yourself by refusing – choose life.
For those who are deviant believers, well that means you are not believing you are a mixture of hot and cold, Jesus is knocking at the door, let Him in and you and Him can mess up the old you and make things new. Full steam ahead on the train needs lots of fire, coal and steam. The heat turned up is full steam ahead, it may be uncomfortable for a while when our stuff gets sorted, some demons get roasted and we are kicking and screaming, but in the end, it will be a huge massive reward.
The blood of Jesus cleanses us from all unrighteousness and the sin that holds us down.
We don’t want our deviations stuck in our matrix, mixed in with the Kingdom within. Otherwise we are in and out, sometime up and sometimes down, worst thing off the track, stuck in our wounds, hurts, addictions and the past just wont let go.
Been there and still have my ups and downs, but I wont stay there, onwards and upwards, no use being stuck in a ditch.
Live out in the Newness of Life and Walk out the Old passing away.
Receive New Wineskins.
Remember hanging onto the old wineskin, yesterdays ways of doing things, religion and traditions, living with your old fading away that’s just how I am is a mixed up mixture. No the old will tear away from the new patch. Remember the shaking will remove all that isn’t what God has established in your life, in other words you gotta lose that old baggage, the heavy loads that slows you down and hinders you into being backwards and that just isn’t worth it in the long run.
Old Wineskins cannot carry the glory.
So rise up in faith, it isn’t about you and my problems, failures, pains, offences and bad habits, it is about what Jesus did that raised us up with Him, seated in the Heavenly Realms, far above all the world system and horrible demons, everyone has their demons, good as dead until by faith you are raised up resurrected far above anything that can deviate you.
We are His temple.
Forget about the temple that is blocks and mortar. We are His temple, your body is a temple housing the Kingdom of God within, that is huge, appreciate it and live LIFE to the FULL out of it.
Lets do Ascension and enter the Transfiguration, Transformation into the New Creation we are made to be, that’s the God kind of Life - ZOE – healing, deliverance and just being blessed like nothing else this rusty old world can offer.
Jesus said I have come to give you life and life to the full, lets take hold of the promise as a sure thing even when we are as good as dead. Don’t let the thief, steal, kill and destroy your journey onwards and upwards. Satan is like a roaring lion seeking to devour someone until we learn to roar back bold as a lion, the Lion King or Lion Queen that’s who we are in Christ Jesus.
Just Be! Only Believe.
Addendum:
See I am not just picking on the mad scientists here like the previous posts or the nutty professors, they are so academically superior to you and me that they believe that they can profess to know better than the rest of us and make up our minds for us. No not all, I am not targeting the Science Daleks this time, you know they say I am the Science or we are the Science and we will exterminate all who oppose or think differently to how we tell you to think. Not even the thought police agents who enforce how they believe you should think.
As discussed previously, science supports what is in the Bible, because God created the science, the knowledge on how the universe works, it is to be a tool of discovery, not a tool of deception. We have the Mind of Christ and we receive Wisdom from above, not false wisdom from below.
So of cause I respect Scientists, most are down to earth help invent and discover things that create a better society, think of electricity and engines. Isaac Newton, Galileo helped advancing our world. I just have an issue with those that believe they are a god and want to control the rest of the world as some type of elitist ruling class, 1984, Brave New World, Scenario.
This time it is more about that Judgment begins in the House of God. The Good news is for all unbelievers and they are not condemned by me, God is offering His mercy to us all so that we can be saved by grace – yes we repent and we are forgiven – Jesus died for us all, so that we can live for Him. Now the judgement on the house of God that is for us believers is correction, it isn’t condemning us, it is correction for our betterment, to make a better you and me to be Gods will on earth as it is in Heaven written on a scroll before time began. He knew us before the foundation of this world and who we can be.
So be the best you He made you to be.
