Where Is Your Faith?

You people professing truth in God, professing to belong to God: Where is your faith?

Show the evidence that you are in truth and have the fruit of His Spirit. Galatians 5:22, 23 list the fruit: love, joy, peace, long suffering, gentleness, goodness, faith, meekness, temperance. Do you reflect all of these? If not, then can you truly say that you are in the One and Only True God, Creator and Redeemer and He in you?

Where? I ask. Where? Where is your substance of things hoped for and the evidence of things not seen? (Read Hebrews 11:1.)

Do not direct your answer to me. Direct it to God.

Sow God’s Meat, Reap His Blessings

Daily consuming a variety of the wonderful medicinal meats (food) God has given us brings great rewards.

Daily sowed into the body system, medicinal meats reap His blessed benefits upon the heart (mind) and body.

Let God who created us be our physician and give to us His prescription. Let God be our health insurance. Let God be our life’s trust. Period. Let that sink in.

Choose by faith to trust God. Take Him at His word. Stand still and see the salvation of the LORD: His power to save us, deliver us from sin. Believe it. Do it. Then you will live it. That’s the Gospel. Let that sink in.

Why?

The lake of fire was ONLY prepared for Satan (the devil) and his angels. (Read Matthew 25:41.)

Please tell me WHY you are trying to join them as you profess the name of God, yet deny God with your life? Living as you please, living to please others, rather than God, is how you deny God. Denying God is denying eternal life. (Read John 17:3.)

No. Don’t answer me. Answer God. Why will ye die? (Read Ezekiel 33:10, 11.)

We Are Our Brothers’ Keeper

If we belong to God, we are His people. We are His church. And we know that we are our brother’s keeper, because God says and teaches us so. We are to love even our neighbor as ourselves.

Each and everyone is going either to heaven or to hell. Having justification, sanctification, and Christ righteousness, having repented and been converted: salvation; daily being a living witness of God to others that He is God; having lived God’s will before others in word and deed; having the love of God and the faith of Jesus: these go to heaven. Having false justification; thinking they will be sinning til Jesus comes; living and speaking how they want or how others tell them to; loving the things of the world; being governed by the world, instead of God; and living and leading others in this thinking: these all go to hell in ashes. These reap eternal death. They go into the eternal grave—the earth. They that lead into error and they that are led in error, into faithlessness and utter darkness, make their way to the grave of the earth: the eternal grave, hell. These are the ashes under the feet of those who receive eternal life. (Read Malachi 4:1-3.)

We are to tell people their sins, whether they want to hear it or not. Period. What they do with truth is a decision made only by them.

We are to pray for them. We are to ask God to intervene in their lives unto salvation—to deliver them from sin. This gives God permission to intervene in thier lives. This is the love of God. This is being the soul that fasts, that sacrifices self, that lays one’s life down for another (even for an enemy!) to be saved.

Praying without ceasing that others be saved, living the Word and keeping God‘s commandments by their faith choice and by the power (grace) of God before others: this is loving God supremely with His love, which He gives us. The world does not know the love of God. They do not have it. They cannot perceive it. It is foolishness to them. But God’s true people, His true church (people in Him and He in them), know Him, obey Him, love Him, for they are already saved of God.

Let that sink in.

Obedience/Love Unto God Is

Obedience/love unto God is the evidence of the state of one’s heart/mind. This love is the fruit of the Spirit. It is the fruit produced from God living, dwelling in the mind/heart.

Thus, the fruit shows forth the faith that produces the good works of God. It is the evidence that one is saved: delivered from sin. It is evidence of salvation—not to receive salvation.

Obedience is evidence we already have received salvation from God. We could not and did not earn it. Salvation is God’s gift to those who are the called, who are the chosen of God. Period. Let that sink in.

He Never Ceases to Amaze Me

God never ceases to amaze me!

I do not worry. I am content with who and what I am and what I have. It is because I belong to God. Period.

What God has given me, no one and nothing can take away: a clear and sound mind, His knowledge and wisdom and understanding, the faith of Jesus, His love, His Spirit, His joy, His peace, His happiness, His good works, His salvation! I have need of nothing.

The only one who can cause all of this to be removed from me is me. My choices make all the difference. If I come to look to self, to trust in my own mental abilities, or to trust in the arm of man, and if I have not love for His truth, His law, His Word, I loose out and reject Him, His salvation.

God has given me health. And His thoughts of me are only to prosper my health, just as my soul prospers. The salvation He has given me I accept by faith. And by faith I choose to keep my deliverance, keep my integrity—trusting YHW to keep me from falling to temptation and sinning.

O yes, He has allowed a thorn in my side. That’s because God knows me best. And He knows what is for my best good. He knows I need to remember what all He has brought me through in the moment, just for a moment, when He turned His face in His wrath—just for a moment. When I came to Him, turning away from sin, turning away from my ways—my wicked ways; when I surrendered my will completely to His will; when I died to self and chose life by faith in Him; and as I die daily and take up my cross and follow Him, He has and is doing all He promised to do in restoring me unto His image, after His likeness.

God has been cleaning me. I am His temple, His house!

My mind and body, my home (the physical standing structure), and my land, all of me wholly: It all belongs to God. I ask Him what I am to do and not to do by His Spirit, by His Power (grace) He puts in me His Spirit who gives me both the will and power to do His good pleasure. This is all and only by His love: not me—oh, no! My faith, God has given me; and He gives me the power to do and the will to do His good works.

Faith and works: Faith empowers the good works of God. Good works are the evidence of the faith. This shows the fruit: the love of God. Period. Let that sink in. God has given me faith and increased it. With it—by faith— I choose LIFE, NOT DEATH. I pray your choices are the same.

Self-Worth? What!? We Are Nothing Without God

Many are talking about self, self, self. Self-worth does not exist.

One has no worth—period—without God living in them through the Holy Spirit. Many are professing God, while the tongue is speaking self-worth. It only shows forth the spiritual state of the mind: idolatry.

Idolatry is not just worshipping (physically literally, bowing down). Idolatry is living for self above and before God. It is living by one’s selfish choices: giving in to, yielding to, putting others, putting things, material things before or above God. It can be an image made out of wood, silver or gold or pearls. Idolatry can be adorning oneself with jewelry or makeup, or costly apparel.

Go ahead. Study it out, only while being led of the Spirit of God. Idolatry is wearing, doing, eating, drinking, speaking to please self, or being men-pleasers. It is that which is sin, that which is not edifying in the Lord, not glorifying God, not loving God supremely (more than, above everything else). It is choosing to obey another and not choosing to obey God by faith.

If the soul has not God in them, they are nothing. And they can do nothing without God. Let that sink in, marinate.

Choose to change by faith. Do not marinate in and soak up truth, while never choosing to surrender self completely to God.

Choose you this day whom you will serve: God or Satan. Period. There is no middle ground nor neutral ground on which to stand. We either stand wholly on solid ground, the side of God, or we stand on the side of Satan, which is sinking sand.

We do not build houses on sand. Let that sink in.
