The Lord Himself is the ark of safety. The Lord has said, "Look to me all you people of the earth and be saved for beside me there is no saviour." The scriptures state that the day of the Lord shall come as a thief in the night. The scriptures also state, "For surely if we had known the opening time of the day of the Lord, then we would have watched so that [particular] day should not have come upon us unawares." It is important to note that when John was in Spirit on the Lord‘s day he saw the Lord’s day to be a period of time. The emphasis was never intended to be placed on the day of the Lord, where events transpire before our eyes, and indeed, even as we speak.
Still, today is the DAY of SALVATION. The harvest truly is plenteous. Unfortunately, the labourers are few. Pray you therefore to the Lord of the Harvest that He would send forth labourers into His harvest
The grace of God has appeared to all men. Jesus is the Grace of God, veiled in flesh. Without Jesus, there is no salvation to be found in any other. But we as believers should be burdened to know that as of yet there are many who have not so much as heard whether there be a Holy Spirit. Woe to us if we do not preach this gospel of the grace of God. Why? Because the night comes when no one will be allowed to preach this glorious gospel. Today if one hears His voice, he or she ought not to harden their hearts. For how shall anyone escape the wrath of God if they willingly neglect God’s gift of eternal life?
The ark of God then has, at this moment, the door of salvation held wide open. Believers need to remember God's open door and thus be about their Father's business -- seeking out wandering spirits with the good news that they do not have to be lost. In spite of all the legions of unbelieving spirits saying otherwise, one can be saved by God’s Grace.
This is because the Word of God veiled in flesh appeared in earthly fashion as a man named Jesus. This same Jesus who is the Seed of the Holy Spirit, manifested in the flesh. The Word of God is the seed of God. When one receives God’s Word into their heart, their heart becomes the fertile ground into which the Word of God desires to be rooted. When the seed of the Word of God found in Jesus is received, then a transformation takes place. The unbelieving stony heart of worldly wisdom is expelled. Why? Because it is impossible for a seed to grow where unbelief abounds.
Indeed, when the good seed of the Word of God arrives and unbelief is repelled, then the Word of God which indwelt Jesus takes root and blossoms, causing one to become a new redeemed creation of God. Seeded with the seed of the Holy Spirit whose Word abode in Jesus. Jesus, the man who willingly died at Calvary. The seed of the Word of God did not die. God seeded the man Jesus with His Word. Jesus seeded Adam’s fallen race with God’s Word! Now we believers seed others with the same word of life spoken by Jesus.
This is the purpose set out to Christians who have found peace with God. It also offers a rationale as to why waiting for the day of the Lord to come before one wishes to be saved may in reality mean that they have left the once obtainable salvation until too late! The scriptures are clear. NOW is the accepted time. NOW is the day of salvation.
All scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness

The Day of the Lord Shall Come - PART 121
THE DAY OF THE LORD SHALL COME. The Lord is coming back to take to Himself a people that He, in His all knowing wisdom chose before the foundation of the earth. This is a people formed of God for His own name’s sake. A people called by His name. The Jesus people. The name of Jesus being the name which is above every other name in Heaven or on earth. (Acts 4:12)
In the beginning, God was creating a visible universe, a creation which would totally and fully display Himself, in created form. Remember that God is Spirit. Of course, we cannot see Spirit so God, after consulting with Himself set the counsel of His all knowing mind into created form. Last of all in this endeavour, God made man of the very dust of the earth, breathing into man the breath of life. Indeed, man at least prior to Adam's fall was made a living soul. After the fall of Adam however, Adam died spiritually and as a consequence was sent out from the Garden of Eden.
God’s plan, at least initially appeared to have gone askew. But note that the plan only went askew in our spiritually dead minds. Just as one would not want to be a robot, one does not like their independence taken from them either. Thus, just as humans today have no intention of surrendering their independence (at least until they take a last breath) neither do individuals enjoy someone else making decisions for them. We are born free. As such, we wish to stay free. Just as western nations have freedom of religion entrenched in their Constitutions (note the emphasis placed on Freedom) there are some that would be desirous to deprive us of these rights. In fact, one must always have the right to work out their own salvation with fear and trembling. Why? Because we are all on a one way ticket in this journey! God said choose you today who you will serve!
This ability to make decisions freely has not changed since Adam and Eve. At least not Biblically. You see, when God breathed His breath, then man had life from God! Let me repeat this again. In man the breath of life from God did dwell. Eve was taken from Adam. She was bone of Adam’s bone and her flesh of Adam's flesh. These two people combined, in the eyes of God were and are one flesh. Indeed, Adam loved Eve so much that the scriptures advocated for the protection of wife and family from evil. If evil was an issue, then man in this instance ought to be willing to lay down his life for them inasmuch as they are his offspring.
This love between a man and woman is multiplied and amplified that many more times with God. Indeed, God loves His creation! God made us not as earthen statues but like God, capable of making rational decisions. However, as described in Genesis, the enemy came in like a flood and Adam along with Eve, bought the lie. So, as a result, the human race - us essentially - were sent to the school of hard knocks, where hopefully the enemy Satan who bit our father Adam does not bite Adam’s offspring. Wishful thinking? Perhaps, because that never happened. We and future generations as a consequence of the Garden were bitten also.
Initially, as described in detail in Genesis, Eve was Adams bride. As such, we were also intended to be the Bride of Christ, who is God as a Son coming forth from the bosom of God. The spiritual Son of God and in whose image the first Adam was made an earthly image. God’s purpose was to sacrifice Himself for His bride, and this bride, which is the spiritual body of Christ. We are the bride that He comes back to receive to Himself.
The question that must be asked the is this. Are you in the Church (Body of Christ)? Are you sure you are a member of the Saviour's bride? Have you been baptized by water and Spirit into His body there to evermore abide? Forthwith, there came forth from Christ side both blood and water claiming redemption for all who believe, who were taken from His side to be His bride, the wife of the youth of God creation, taken from Christ's side, even as Eve was taken from Adam’s.
.
This is the reason He returns to earth to reclaim His bride. The message is clear. We as humans could not go to where He was so instead He came to us. His love for His bride found a way. Jesus is calling you. Come home today! Peace be upon the true Israel of God who alone is the seed of Christ

The Day of the Lord? - Part 120
In reality, the Lord has already come for when we ask Jesus to come into our heart, and we worship Him with all our heart, soul, mind and strength, He dwells within us. Moreover, Jesus said that He would not leave His followers comfortless. As the scriptures point out, Jesus said "I will come to you!"
Indeed, Jesus said, "If ye love me, keep my commandments. And I will pray the Father, and He shall give you another Comforter, that He may abide with you for ever; Even the Spirit of truth; whom the world cannot receive, because it sees Him not, neither knows Him: but ye know Him; for He dwells with you, and shall be in you. I will not leave you comfortless: I will come to you. Yet a little while, and the world sees Me no more; but ye see Me: because I live, ye shall live also. At that day ye shall know that I am in My Father, and ye in Me, and I in you." (John 14:15-20)
Further, the scriptures declare that all those who have by faith come to believe upon Jesus, are now a new creation of God. While admittedly, each believer may externally look the same as they did prior to their expressed faith in Jesus, on the inside they have been changed. Or, as the scriptures refer to the salvation experience - believers have been reborn and their minds renewed. They were not strapped to an operating table whilst someone rearranged their inners. Oh no. The inward change that occurs is a direct result of the promise of Jesus - that He would not leave believers comfortless. He will come to you.
In that moment, when people ask Jesus into their life, they are born again, or phrased another way, born of God. All of this internal change occurs in a moment of time. In fact, in a second of time even though in God's view, that is still too long. This may explain why the scriptures use the language "in the twinkling of an eye."
The most important message for us is that heaven is just a prayer away. Similarly, we need to recognize that God has stated, that even before we call, He will answer. Nothing separates a believer from the love of God that can be found only in Jesus. Because the Spirit of God who fills the heavens and the earth is no longer on the outside. He is the same Spirit that was in the man Jesus. And it is the same Jesus who has taken up residence within the heart of believers.
Still, in terms of the original point of this post - the day of the Lord will come upon us. The Lord is not slack concerning His promise to come again. There will be a second coming of God. In this context, and apart from a personal experience of rebirth, there is no redemption available to mankind after the second coming.
The lyrics from the O'Jays song "Love Train" pretty well says it all. Please do not miss this train at the station, for if you miss it I will be sorry, yes, sorry for you. Don’t you know that it is time to get on board for this love train bearing the message of God is travelling on through. If you haven't reached out to Jesus, this would be the most opportune time.
On a different note, there are those who repeatedly question why anyone should have the right to hear this message twice when some have never heard the gospel message once. There is a parable in the New Testament that refers to this. Recall the ten virgins, of whom five are categorized as being wise and the other five foolish?
The latter group all slumbered and slept, having become recipients of mans' foolish wisdom, and having swallowed satan’s bait -- hook, line and sinker. Thus, instead of preparing for the coming of their King, they believed that nothing had changed within the world. Everything would continue to be the same, even though all around them, people are becoming alarmed at the surrounding chaos. In fact, Jesus said men's hearts would fail them for fear.
As a consequence of this worldly blindness that prevents these from seeing the truth, their collective belief in God has dissipated to the place that their lamps of belief had virtually gone out. The parable speaks of a certain time when a voice was heard declaring, "Behold, the bridegroom is coming."
The ten upon hearing this news arose and began to trim their lamps of belief. Unfortunately, the five foolish virgins recognized that they had no oil in their lamps (the oil symbolic of the Spirit of God). They hastily went to purchase oil. Upon their return to where the five wise virgins had been they were confronted with the fact that indeed the bridegroom had returned and they had missed the train.
This parable leads us to the all important question. With which group do you want to be found among the ten when we hear the news, "Behold, the bridegroom come." Would you not want to be ready to meet Him? Like the five wise virgins?
Christ in you now bringing to believers the promised hope of the glory of eternal life. The message is simple. Only Jesus saves. He alone has the words of eternal life. This is why Jesus said, "I am the Way, the Truth, and the Life. No man comes to the Father but by Me."
Please do not miss this message of the all important second coming of the Lord Jesus the Christ. It's your call - accept His invitation. Come to the Lord Jesus today! Stand in the offering plate.
Indeed, Jesus said, "If ye love me, keep my commandments. And I will pray the Father, and He shall give you another Comforter, that He may abide with you for ever; Even the Spirit of truth; whom the world cannot receive, because it sees Him not, neither knows Him: but ye know Him; for He dwells with you, and shall be in you. I will not leave you comfortless: I will come to you. Yet a little while, and the world sees Me no more; but ye see Me: because I live, ye shall live also. At that day ye shall know that I am in My Father, and ye in Me, and I in you." (John 14:15-20)
Further, the scriptures declare that all those who have by faith come to believe upon Jesus, are now a new creation of God.

The Trumpet Will Sound - PART 119
The day of the Lord shall come as a thief in the night. The scriptures state ... and while the bridegroom tarried, they all slumbered and slept. It is for this reason that the scriptures present signposts - that when one sees these things coming to pass, then they/we will know that summer is nigh. Just as one can discern the face of the sky, the Word states that we should similarly be able to discern the signs of the times. (Jesus speaks of these days in Matthew 24)
Therein, the Lord Jesus shares that in the same way He who was taken up, He shall come in like manner to gather His people! The scriptural account of Jesus' resurrection refers to a cloud receiving Him out of the apostles' sight. In a similar context, it is said that the Lord comes with clouds, and every eye shall see Him and those also which pierced Him.
The difficulty we have as humans (with our limited understanding) is that with the Lord a thousand years is one day. Still, what we can understand is that the Lord Jesus has already come into the hearts of believers, for they have already been resurrected as far as the inward man is concerned. While believers had (the key word being had) been alienated from God as a result of Adam’s original sin, now he or she has been reconciled.
Note that it was for this reason that God declared peace and good will to all, so that this current dispensation of grace -- the new testament could be ushered in.
But within the transition of salvation, we see the outward man perish while the inward man is renewed daily by and through the power of the Spirit of God, residing within them. This is where the expression "born again" comes from, because believers in Jesus by faith are made brand new, washed clean from the sins and transgressions that separated them from eternal life.
But now, they have been born again or born from above or simply born anew of God. These believers are now a habitation of God in the Spirit -- the temple of the Spirit of God, in which God Himself is pleased to dwell.
Those believers who have experienced this new birth are awaiting with expectancy the appearing of their great God and their only Saviour the Lord Jesus the Christ. At which time the trumpet of the Lord will sound, and all those who have died in faith will rise to meet the Lord. Those believers who are alive at the time of the Lord’s appearance will also be changed in a moment -- in the twinkling of an eye.
And, within this going to meet their King -- the King of kings and Lord of lords, all those who believed will be clothed in a new garment fitted in a form which will never die -- for death will no longer hold any sting. In that moment, the grave will have lost its seeming victory, (the sting of death is sin and the strength of sin being the law) This is the first resurrection from the domain of the grave.
This presentation hopefully permits a brief perusal of what will be forthcoming, and I sincerely hope that it is received as only a preliminary thrust, stirring faith to arise within our hearts. In the meantime, we are all only one heart beat from eternity. Each one of us has an appointment with death. Therefore, we ought to pack our suitcase, for in reality no man knows the day or the hour in which his or her soul will be required of God.
In the interim, make Jesus your personal Saviour today. Study His Word and get to know the Author and Finisher of your salvation. Rejoice evermore and pray for His wisdom and knowledge and strength. Let the peace of Jesus bubble up within you, and be glad for every day that the Lord hath made.
Stand in the offering plate, offering yourself to Jesus -- knowing that He will never fail you -- and do everything that you do in word or deed, in the precious name of Jesus.

Know Jesus and Know Peace - PART 118
When God said to Abraham that in his seed would all the nations of the earth be blessed, God used the singular. God did not use the plural version as if He were going to bless His creation through many. No indeed. God explicitly limited the blessing to one seed, saying that in that one seed only would all the people on earth be blessed. It is written that Abraham believed God and that Abraham’s belief in the Word of God was counted to him as righteousness.
Herein lies the key of blessings obtainable through simple belief in what God declares. Faith in God’s promises which in turn ushers in a gift of right standing with God. Abraham simply believed what God said. His faith was expressed in believing that God was going to provide a seed, and in that seed all the inhabitants of the earth would and could be blessed. Believe and receive. As the saying goes -- Know Jesus and Know peace. If there is No Jesus, there is No peace.
This seed is not a seed of Adam's fallen sinful race, having Adam's tainted blood flowing in the seed veins. Oh no. This promised seed was the seed of the Spirit of God, who created all things. This seed has the very blood of the Holy Spirit flowing in His veins. This is a Holy precious seed coming forth from the bosom of the Spirit of God and in this one seed, through faith in God’s word pertaining to the potential kinetic blessing within that seed to one and all (i.e. the fruit of the seed of blessing). To every individual who reaches out in true faith to become even as Abraham was - declared righteous - as a gift of God, through his or her expressed faith.
God is no respecter of persons. God is a rewarder of all those who diligently seek Him. God will reward all who express a similar faith in the promised seed of the Holy Spirit - this seed is none other than the Lord Jesus the Christ. God has declared there is no one righteous. All have inherited sin, and similarly, all have fallen short of God’s purpose. Therefore, God provides a seed - a seed is God Himself. For in this seed there is life and that life is the life that made all things. Apart from this life seed, this life seed was the beginning of the creation of God. This seed was as a lamb slain before the foundation of the earth. This seed was now to be manifested in the flesh, and then crucified in order that all who believe in Jesus the life seed could receive the blessing. This blessing which the scriptures refer to as eternal life!
For truly Jesus is the tree of life which was typified in the Garden of Eden, and forbidden during that period of time to be eaten. But now, God says to the whosoever that they may come and eat of the fruit of the tree of life -- Jesus. For Jesus has said, "Come and dine." For my flesh is meat indeed and my blood is drink indeed. Truly, what the life seed of promise suffered on Calvary’s cross was all sufficient to cleanse all sin, and to heal all sickness and disease. As pointed out in earlier versions, the life and death of Jesus is not transubstantiation as some religious organizations promote.
Rather, Jesus is the life giving seed of promise. The Gift of God is eternal life. You cannot work to obtain this gift. There is no prerequisite. why? Because Jesus said to come just as we are. Jesus the seed of Life came not to condemn people but that the people of Adam’s fallen race could be resurrected from the drudgery of sin and be made whole in every aspect of their life. It is for this reason that we should not let anyone come, between us and God. No priest, no pope, no Mary, no preacher, no rabbi, etc. There is only one Mediator between God and man and that is none other than the God man -- Lord Jesus the Christ! The "whosoever" in the Biblical scriptures refers to you and me. Call upon the name of the Lord which is Jesus so that ye shall be saved. God approves this message.
Herein lies the key of blessings obtainable through simple belief in what God declares. Faith in God’s promises which in turn ushers in a gift of right standing with God. Abraham simply believed what God said. His faith was expressed in believing that God was going to provide a seed, and in that seed all the inhabitants of the earth would and could be blessed. Believe and receive. As the saying goes -- Know Jesus and Know peace. If there is No Jesus, there is No peace.

Rather, Jesus is the life giving seed of promise. The Gift of God is eternal life. You cannot work to obtain this gift. There is no prerequisite. why? Because Jesus said to come just as we are. Jesus the seed of Life came not to condemn people but that the people of Adam’s fallen race could be resurrected from the drudgery of sin and be made whole in every aspect of their life. It is for this reason that we should not let anyone come, between us and God. No priest, no pope, no Mary, no preacher, no rabbi, etc. There is only one Mediator between God and man and that is none other than the God man -- Lord Jesus the Christ! The "whosoever" in the Biblical scriptures refers to you and me. Call upon the name of the Lord which is Jesus so that ye shall be saved. God approves this message.
Nothing Is Impossible With God - Part 117
It is written that Abraham had two sons. The first son by a bondmaid the other by a free woman Sarah. These two sons are an allegory representing two covenants. The covenant of the son born to the bondwoman is representative of the Law issued by Moses and it genders to a covenant of bondage. The second son, born of the free woman, is representative of a covenant of promise. God had promised to Abraham that in His seed ALL the nations of the earth would be blessed. If we tie this promise to a former promise spoken of God in the garden of Eden, that promise being, that the seed of a woman would bruise the Serpent (Satan’s head) then the message of God's salvation begins to unfold.
These two seeds of promise -- the redemptive plan of God to deliver His fallen creation from the curse of sin and death -- into which Adam and Eve through their own disobedience to God’s directive had brought themselves and all future generations into a creation prone to sin. The travels of the seeds of promise down through the generations are outlined in Matthew and Luke. We will review a synopsis of the details here. Sarah, Abraham's wife was barren. Sarah gave the bond woman named Hagar to Abraham. Hence, we have Ishmael, a child born not of love but by manipulations of men and women. At the same time, Sarah was also to bear a child as promised by God! How do we know this? Because nothing is impossible with God. What God promises, God is also more than able to perform. When Abraham reached 100 years of age and his natural reproductive organs ceased to function God resurrected His natural capabilities, and at the same time implanted into Abraham the before mentioned seed of promise. God also opened Sarah’s womb. Please note that the seed of promise to Eve in the Garden had travelled down through the ages and now that afore mentioned promised seed to Eve now lodged in Sarah.
Abraham and Sarah now bearing the promised seeds birthed a Son named Isaac. This son was born of Abraham's natural seed. The two seeds of promise passed into Isaac and lodged there awaiting a future period. This time is referred to in the scriptures as the fullness of times. It is here that we read of two generational paths -- one from Eve and now we are introduced into a second generational line from Abraham. So Isaac was born. However, Isaac was not the seed of Promise even though he carried the seeds within him. Abraham was blessed. Isaac was blessed. Jacob was blessed. They were all blessed simply because of the two seeds of promise lodged within them.
And so it is even today, that wherever the seed of promise dwells, that individual will be blessed of God!
When the fullness of time arrived, we were introduced to a young girl who was engaged to a man named Joseph. The two seeds of promise lodged within her. An angel declared to her that she is now pregnant. The Son child now in her womb resulting from the Spirit of God bringing the seeds together. Jesus, the promised seed, and the child of the Holy Spirit in whom all the nations of the earth will be blessed. God with us. A Saviour which is Christ the Lord Himself, as a Son, being clothed in sin prone flesh in the womb of His surrogate mother. Jesus said, Come to Me and I will give you Rest.

I Will Give you Rest- PART 116
And in that seed will all the nations of the earth be blessed. We have in previous posts endeavoured to unveil who or what exactly what the "seed" is. It would appear our presentation previously offered fell short of our intended hope, or possibly an alternative viewpoint was/is so seated in the minds of others that they built a nest in their heads. So once again we enter the fray, not that God is in need of anyone defending Him.
The ark of the covenant is in no need of man’s defense, but the Word of God has been commissioned to us, by our commander in chief to be preached to one and all. This is our purpose. To provide people from all walks of life with a comprehensive understanding of the scriptures so that others are not able to present alternative viewpoints that are not scripturally accurate.
In the new Testament, there is neither Jew nor Gentile, male nor female, bond or free. We are all one in Jesus the Christ. God in His mercy has opened to all men and women, in all generations, a way whereby the downtrodden, the castaway, the wounded, the sick, the diseased, the heart broken, the beaten, the tortured can be made whole again. Renewed. God in His mercy reached out to ALL peoples in whatever state or condition they may be in at this moment. I have good news for you. Whether this is approved or not by some political gainsayer, you are approved and affirmed by none other than the God who made you and loves you.
God who is invisible, manifested Himself in the flesh for you. He left His heaven and came to earth purposely to deliver a salvation message directly and personally to you. God is not a statue that cannot move or a carved stone that has no feelings! It may be a work of art, but when one is at the bottom of the pile, the last thing that he or she requires is a statue of stone or a statue on a cross, all of which are totally incapable of doing anything!
The Word of God on the other hand, which indwelt the man Jesus the Christ, said,- "Come to Me all ye who are burdened ... all ye who have had enough of the curse of the law of sin and death. And I WILL GIVE YOU REST."
Now that is an approved message endorsed by God! Some say that the Jews are Abraham's seed. His offspring according to the flesh. They even go so far to say that they are God’s children. But that is not so. All living people are Adam’s offspring, and are cursed not blessed. Oh, you say they are Abraham’s seed and in Abraham seed will all the nations of the earth be blessed. Let's review this claim in relation to the scriptures - God's Word.
When God spoke to Abraham saying, that in Abraham and in His seed all the nations of the earth would be blessed, God was not speaking of Abraham's natural seed, which was imbued with the curse of sin. God was addressing an implanted seed which was to move along through the generations as recorded in previous presentations. Until the seeds of promise were implanted of God into Eve and then into Abraham, those seeds of promise being the seeds of the Holy Spirit of God -- the Holy Spirit blood was in those seeds -- not Adam's cursed blood (i.e Jesus the only Begotten Son of God).
God Himself manifest in a sin prone body, clothed in flesh taken from a surrogate Mary’s sin cursed body. The fetus in that body did not sin. Therefore, you and I can transfer all our sin and sickness to Jesus for He Himself took all your sin and sickness upon Himself. As a consequence, you are now free to be God Blessed! God can now bless you, not because you are Abraham's seed but because you have received Jesus into your life - the same Jesus who is the Seed of the Spirit of God!

Let There Be Light- PART 115
According to the Biblical scriptures, there are three that bear witness in Heaven - the Father, the Word and the Holy Spirit. But does this refer to three distinct and separate persons as the norm presented/inherited from the so called church fathers? Let us together review the scriptures. Certainly, God is one Spirit and there is only one body. When God said, "Let there be light" - here again there is no indication of another person being present. The scriptures simply state that God who is one Spirit and one body said- let there be. Simply put God speaks, and when God speaks, things happen. This is indicative of what we already know. That is, the Word of the Spirit of God in one body is all powerful.
The Word of God was veiled in flesh. Again, there is no indication of another person present. What is revealed is exactly what transpired. That the very same Word which was with God was now veiled in flesh. In short, we see the spiritual Word of God being veiled in flesh as one -- not as another person. Indeed, God Himself was visiting His own creation. He being God was personally going to deliver the gospel message which He had, down through the ages, endeavoured to deliver by others. Until this time, God's message seemingly fell on deaf ears.
Instead, this last time, God Himself decided to personally deliver the gospel message. God Himself would confront one and all, knocking at the door of their hearts so that we, one and all, would know and understand who God was. Whilst He was veiled in flesh, the scriptures say that when we saw Him there was no external beauty that would draw us to Him. Rather, we were drawn to Him by the Words that He spoke. Words that were like music in a sinners ear! Why? Because His words were of life and joy and peace and hope. He was so different from those religious teachers. His Words stirred the inner man to get off the couch and follow Him. His Words impelled men to provide for their own, to love the wife of their youth, even as God has done at Calvary for us! His bride. His body. Redeeming us to Himself. His bride having no spots or wrinkles!
This is why it is important to note that Jesus was/is God Himself manifest in the flesh, appearing as a Son, (child of God’s own Spirit). He was not another person. He was Jesus -- God with us as a Son! Jesus said that it was not the fleshy covering that was being expressed. It was the working of the Spirit of God who in all fullness indwelt Jesus. Jesus said it is not Him that was doing these works but the Father who is Spirit dwelling within Him that is performing the miracles, signs, wonders and healings. Truly this is the Spirit of God reaching out in love offering an alternative!
A body you have prepared me. Yes, we are that body in which God is pleased to dwell. This church body is to be a habitation of God’s Spirit. We are the bride of Christ, who laid down His life for our redemption that the original purpose of God may continue! There is no indication of three persons. When you call on Jesus you are calling on God.
Jesus is the Word that was in the beginning with God. God sent His Word, not another person. God bless all who look for the glorious appearing of Our Great God and only Saviour Jesus! Stand in the Offering Plate.

Faith Breaks Down All Barriers - PART 114
Faith breaks down all barriers. Why? Because as the Bible states, faith is the substance of things hoped for, and the evidence of things not seen! Without faith, it is impossible to please God, for he or she that comes to God, must believe that He is. He or she must believe that God is a rewarder of all them that diligently seek Him! If we use Abraham in the Old Testament as an example, we know that Abraham was known as the father of the faithful. It was stated that Abraham believed God, and that His belief was accounted to him as righteousness. Indeed, faith itself is a gift from God. It is in this context that God has given to every one a measure of faith!
Faith comes by the hearing the Word of God.
Faith is not something that one can conjure up for if it were, then faith would be works. However, God has repeatedly stated that faith is not of works. God gives faith as a gift. So if faith arises within us as a result of hearing the written Word of God , then why pray tell, are our churches empty? Could it perhaps be a consequence of churches ceasing to preach Words of faith? Adopting instead reason as an adequate substitute for the gospel of Jesus? Conversely, could the lack of Christians be the result of the seed of God’s Word falling on deaf ears or on stony hearted ground? Certainly, we have a dilemma emerging in our world whereby scores of people have not had the opportunity to hear about Jesus.
So what are we to do? Well, we can discard immediately that dumb matter created intelligent life. The fool has said in his heart that there is no God. Look around - touch and see that God is everywhere. Look at the flowers in the fields, the fruits on the trees or the harvest in the fields. Listen to the voices of nature that emerge and flourish in spring. Even look at yourself and how wonderfully we are made. Reacquaint and refresh ourselves in the gospel of Jesus. Speak to others about the goodness of a God who loved us so much that he would die on Calvary.
Jesus' words and deeds cry out for us to believe. Only believe. Have faith in God. Look up to Jesus. Follow Him so that He can make you fishers of men. Let God arise in your heart! Then you will hear Jesus whisper. "Look to Me all you people for I AM the Lord your God and beside Me there is no Saviour."

Jesus is the Same Yesterday, Today and Forever - PART 113
Jesus is the same yesterday, today, and forever. So is His message of salvation. There is only one hindrance preventing the human race as a collective from obtaining God’s richest blessings in their life. That is, the obstacle of unbelief on our part. We stagger at the promises of God through our unbelief. In fact, God cannot do any thing for anyone if unbelief is wholly prevalent. Neither can positive thinking. Can anyone add one cubit to his stature? Of course not.
This is why it is important that man and women put their faith in God. The same God who has constantly from generation to generation provided for His creation. The creator of all things made who placed Himself in the role of a servant so that we might be saved. What is man that God Almighty you are mindful of him? Or the son of man that you constantly 24/7 visit him? Although with our eyes we may not see Jesus, in our hearts we know and feel that He is always there. Creation, declares God, and we exist. The heavens declare the glory of God, and the earth shows forth His handiwork. Open your eyes and look around. When God was asked for a name, He simply said I AM. In God we live and move and have our lives!
So why is it that we think we can hide from God? God is everywhere. Instead of filling our minds with negative thoughts and running the risk of becoming very negative people, we need to recognize that all our living was not in vain. Instead of going into the valley of the shadow of death without any hope -- a dust body and a lost spirit -- we need to recognize like the surgeon that had cut man apart in every direction, that our spirit still exists. It is for this reason that we should let God arise in your heart. Let the enemies of our faith be scattered.
Why? All things are possible with God. We need only believe. Individuals who come to God must believe that He is and that God is a rewarder of all those that diligently seek Him! Be no longer doubtful, but be a believer. Don’t lean to your own understanding but rather trust in God. In God we trust! Whatever obstacle or mountain you are facing -- whether it be sickness, drugs, cancer, aids, or separation, take it to the Lord Jesus in prayer. Jesus cares about you.
In the scriptures, Jesus said to look to Him from all ends of the earth "for I am God alone and beside me there is no other." Jesus is the healer, the caring, loving saviour friend that understands all our needs. Come to me He beckons. Open your heart and ask Him to come in. If the weight of this world seems to be too heavy, tell your story to Jesus. For He has said, I will come and heal you. Lord Jesus take my hand today!
Remember too, that you are of more value than many sparrows. Indeed, even the hairs of your head He have numbered! Stand in the offering plate in Jesus name. God bless!
