Let me just put it out plainly: “Racists’ Assertions” are the most absurd, asinine, asphyxiating, asylum-leaning attitudes that unveil arrogance and racial stupidity as dangerous as anything I know that can isolate, separate, divide, and destroy human relations whether locally, statewide, nationally, or world-wide! And beyond that, it is saying to Holy God, “Though You intended cooperation, affirmation, and loyalty to one another, You, God, opened the Pandora box of troubles, pain, and hostility in the hearts of men and women who have no appreciation for anyone different from what they see themselves as being, and You made a mistake.” How stupid does that sound?

Racial intolerance exposes hardened hearts filled with ‘self-pride’, ‘selfish attitudes’, and ‘sickened hearts and minds’ with Satanically controlled wills, deformed, defiant, and departing ideas further and further away from the God of amazing love and awesome grace. Racists reveal within a nation the central attitude of the hearts and minds of people who live under Satan’s control in obstinacy, rebellion against others who aren’t their skin color, clouded minds to the truth of God’s desire of His world of the whites, the blacks, the browns, and even the combination of all colors! God’s desire is for men of every race and color to extend His love, express His grace, and edify one another in the Spirit of His heart, mind, intent, and eternal will and pleasure!

Racists are enraged with anything or anyone who doesn’t see ‘hatred’ of other colors than theirs as being “stupid folks” who ought to be hurt, harmed, and even annihilated if they refuse to bow down to “forced separation of the races”!

Highly interesting truth in 1 John 5:1-2 when the beloved one wrote: “Whoever believes that Jesus is the Christ is born of God, and everyone who loves Him who begot also LOVES HIM WHO IS BEGOTTEN OF HIM. By this we know that we love the children of God, when we love God and keep His commandments.” But YOU are rebellious enough, unbelieving enough, defiant enough, that if you’re told by Christ to love all in His name, you’ll just join “satan’s band” and play his tune of disrupting, alienating, separating, and fighting against “unity among, yes, God’s people”!

Of course, there is a huge difference between the ‘kingdoms of fallen men’ and THE KINGDOM OF GOD. The ‘kingdoms of fallen men’ are, yes, under the direct influence and administration of Satan himself! Satan loves “race riots” and the people who promote them! He’s a ‘master of deception’ and thrives on keeping people alienated, separated, hating one another, mistreating one another, disrupting any attempts by “Peace of God” people, missionaries, disciples, churches, and governments in bringing people together under God’s Sovereign Administration!

And, of course, fallen men re-born through the blood of the Lamb, in their immaturity, in their lack of understanding of the nature and character of God, are often bound by their ‘vicissitudes’ or ‘changing phases’ until they, yes, mature “in Christ” – so, let patience, love, grace, and mercy abound when you witness spiritual stupidity! Be bold with God’s love for all, including immature believers who don’t as yet know the “BIGNESS” of God’s heart!

Racial bias is antagonism with God Himself and all He has created! Racists live shackled in an evil conscience and seek to pervert the minds of any that they can with their horrific, ungodly, bitter resentment of ALL who are not just like them! In my 81 years of life I have witnessed men of various colors who honored the King of kings and Lord of lords. Some of the greatest preachers I ever heard were black preachers with brilliant, Word-based, Spirit-anointed, heart-warming truths that “touched” Heaven’s Throne and shut Hell’s gates! But…,

racists are the “dark clouds” of some cities, some churches, even some pulpits! “Dark clouds” are blinding and binding! “Dark clouds” are ‘self-willed’ “stallions” that want to toss you as a lover of men’s souls, any color, and stomp you to the ground! God’s world was never intended by Him to be the location of ‘racism’ but the “Community of love and grace”! Racism is a triumph of evil, and for it to remain is for individuals, families, cities, schools, churches, governments, and leaders to be silent!

Do you understand and grasp that WE live in a God-birthed world and, I have no doubts, God didn’t intend evil but a world of His blessing and blessings, but He also knew He had no desire for “robots” but fully surrendered lives to His love and Lordship – and that has to be chosen!

The ‘darkness’ of “racists assertions” is overshadowed by God’s rays of light, of hope, of help, of courage, of commitment to be His followers who want “Light” over every city, state, and nation in the world – and those ‘rays of light’ are to be His children of redeemed faith, washed in the blood of the Lamb, and declared to be sons and daughters of His eternal family, regardless of the color of a man’s skin!

Where there is EVIL, and racism IS EVIL, there must be the weapons of God’s warfare against it – and His weapons are His own children of faith made strong in the “fruit” of His Spirit! Has it ever dawned on you that as a follower of Christ that you have been commissioned in the midst of a “racist’s time” to stand as a “tool” in His hand to speak Truth to one bound by racial resentment?

All racism, white against black, black against white, is evil deception that needs the renewal of Faith in the Fatherhood of Holy God! Your life, your witness, your relationships WITH ALL people-groups is to BE God’s disc of His infinite, all-inclusive light and love of all men! “God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son,” and, redeeming YOU was to extend His life, express His love, and prove His power!

But some are indifferent to God’s great concern of bringing all people groups together under His Lordship! The nature of fallen men, by choice, is beastly, devilish, self-centered, indifferent to anybody of any color but his/her own. Charles Caleb Colton once wrote: “There are three modes of bearing the ills of life: by indifference, which is the most common; by philosophy, which is the most ostentatious; and by religion, which is the most effectual.” (Sadly, in this 21^st Century, ‘effectual religions’ isolate rather than inspire “togetherness under Christ’s Lordship”!). When it comes to “racism”, it endures in many hearts because of, yes, indifference about any of another color than his own; or ostentatious ‘white pride’ or ‘black pride’; or, sad to say, “Religious orientation”, and some who’ve just determined that it’s best just to take care of your own! Really?

Even if the Word in 1 Thessalonians 5:22 instructs to “Abstain from every form of evil”? Sorry! But I believe to be indifferent to those of another color other than your own is the height of religious bigotry, spiritual stubbornness, and ‘piggish prejudice’, with one indulging in another form of evil!

If one promotes separation of the races, how does he/she relate to the “Fatherhood of God”? Ignore His compassion for every life, regardless of race, or ‘self-determine’ that “Holy God understands my prejudices, and He forgives me”? Really? What may be ‘truth’ to you may be criminal in the eyes of God! Just as there are ‘scarecrows’ flying around your sky, it doesn’t mean “God allows Scare-Crows, black or white, to keep the ‘religious’ scared of unveiling God’s heart in the ‘true church’, which I grew up singing about: “red, yellow, black or white, all are precious in His sight”!

I was a pastor for about 22 years before God called me to preach, teach, and evangelize across India mostly, but other nations in Asia and Africa as well. It was never in my “spiritual genes” to choose for myself what nations, cities, or races I was willing to serve – I wanted to be available to every race, because it was for them, as well as me, that Christ Jesus shed His blood on the Cross! We’re not called to tolerate ‘racism’ but to see it transformed into ‘citizens’ of the eternal Kingdom of God, regardless of race, color, or even men’s creeds – we’re captives of the very heart, mind, and will of God! And, MY GOD “SO LOVED THE WORLD”!

Do you understand that whether black or white, red or tan, the imagination of human hearts is evil continually unless there is by God’s grace and love a heart, mind, and will change, fully surrendered to His Sovereignty? I’m sure this is why David wrote in Psalm 37:1-3, “Do not fret because of evildoers (Dare I tell you that “racists” regardless of skin color ARE evildoers?), nor be envious of the workers of iniquity (of vocal racists!). For they shall soon be cut down like the grass, and wither as the green herb. Trust in the Lord, and do good (Yes, it’s time to “do good” in the U.S.A. concerning race relations); dwell in the land, and feed on His faithfulness. Delight yourself also in the Lord, and He shall give you the desires of your heart.”

We’re called to “The Redeemer’s Atonement” in personal salvation and “new life” ministry and representation and proclamation! An old hymn entitled “Jesus Calls Us”, written in the early 1930’s by Mrs. Cecil F. Alexander and William H. Jude says: “Jesus calls us; o’er the tumult Of our life’s wild, restless sea, Day by day His sweet voice sounds, Saying, “Christian, follow Me.”

Jesus calls us from the worship Of the vain world’s golden store, From each idol that would keep us, Saying, “Christian, love Me more.”

In our joys and in our sorrows, Days of toil and hours of ease, Still He calls, in cares and pleasures, “Christian, love Me more than these.”

Jesus calls us: by God’s mercies, Savior, may we hear Your call, Give our hearts to Your obedience, Serve and love You best of all.”

Jesus calls us, yes! But Jesus also knocks on the doors of mens’ hearts! In Revelation 3:20-22 we read, Jesus speaking, “Behold, I stand at the door and knock. If anyone hears My voice and opens the door, I will come in to him and dine with him, and he with me. To him who overcomes I will grant to sit with Me on My throne, as I also overcame and sat down with My Father on His throne. He who has an ear, let him hear what the Spirit says to the churches.”

And you don’t think sitting with Christ on His throne and listening to His voice would include, “Go into all the world and preach the Gospel”? In Matthew 20:27-28 Jesus said: “And whoever desires to be first among you, let him be your slave – just as the Son of Man did not come to be served, but to serve, and to give His life a ransom for many.”

When the call to follow Jesus comes and the Holy Spirit guides us into all truth, it’s vital to understand, yes, what He is leading you into after your “New Life” birthing in Christ! Going back to the prophetic Word in Isaiah 53, we hear that “Holy Calling” of ministry service in Jesus’ Name! It says: Isaiah53:11-12, “He shall see the labor of His soul, and be satisfied. By His knowledge My Righteous Servant shall justify many, for He shall bear their iniquities. Therefore I will divide Him a portion with the great, and He shall divide the spoil with the strong, because He poured out His soul unto death, and He was numbered with the transgressors, and He bore the sin of many, and made intercession for the transgressors.”

It’s so interesting to me to hear Christ Jesus say in John 12:26, “If anyone serves Me, let Him follow Me; and where I am, there My servant will be also. If anyone serves Me, him My Father will honor.” And, in following Jesus through the Four Gospels, where and what do you find Him doing? Watching, witnessing, ministering, comforting, challenging, confronting, caring, touching His needy world with redemptive ,heart-changing, Life-giving care?

In Acts 1:8 we read, “But you shall receive power when the Holy Spirit has come upon you; and you shall be witnesses to Me in Jerusalem, and in all Judea and Samaria, and to the end of the earth.” Local ministry, area ministry, statewide ministry, national ministry, and, yes, world-wide ministry! All disciples are not called and set aside for world-wide ministries, but they are called to support those who are and express His love to every “race” where they are!

Discipleship “in Christ”, yes, DEMANDS availability for Him to be Himself in you and through you for God’s honor, His praise, and the fulfillment of His heart’s desire – “God so loved the world, that He gave His only begotten Son, that whosoever believes (trusts in, relies upon, adheres to) in Him should not perish but have everlasting life.”

In his book, “My Utmost For His Highest,” (p.198), Oswald Chambers wrote: “The summing up of our Lord’s teaching is that the relationship He demands is an impossible one unless He has done a supernatural work in us. Jesus Christ demands that there be not the slightest trace of resentment even expressed in the heart of a disciple when he meets with tyranny and injustice. No enthusiasm will ever stand the strain that Jesus Christ will put upon His worker, only one thing will, and that is a personal relationship to Himself which has gone through the mill of His spring-cleaning until there is only one purpose left – I am here for God to send me where He will. Every other thing may get fogged, but this relationship to Jesus Christ must never be.”

Yet, how many believers, even pastors and their churches, live in a “fogged relationship with no concern for those outside the confines of their local (?) assembly”? ‘Local’ SHOULD highlight for disciples touching one’s needy world around them with the amazing grace of loving, caring God – but it’s so easy and so demonic to be proud of one’s ‘religious self’ without an ounce of concern about the perishing world around them!

Fanny Crosby and William H. Doane published the old hymn “Rescue the Perishing” in “The American Hymnal”, copyrighted in 1933!! Of course, modern-day churches aren’t moved by “classic hymns of Truth”! It says:

“Rescue the perishing, Care for the dying, Snatch them in pity from sin and the grave; Weep o’er the erring one, Lift up the fallen, Tell them of Jesus the mighty to save.

Tho’ they are slighting Him, Still He is waiting, Waiting the penitent child to receive; Plead with them earnestly, Plead with them gently, He will forgive if they only believe.

Down in the human heart, Crushed by the tempter, Feelings lie buried that grace can restore; Touched by a loving heart, Wakened by kindness, Chords that are broken can vibrate once more.

Rescue the perishing, Duty demands it; Strength for your labor the Lord will provide; Back to the narrow way, Patiently win them; Tell the poor wanderer a Savior has died.

Rescue the perishing, Care for the dying; Jesus is merciful, Jesus will save.” Amen?

With all my heart, I believe it’s time for churches, pastors, and all disciples in every corner of God’s globe to examine their hearts and ministries as to whether or not they are committed to and fulfilling His command to “Go into every corner, nook, location, “in His Name”, as His representatives, ambassadors, messengers, “sent ones”, missionaries, faithfully sharing His love, grace, and mercy! ARE YOU?

THE CREATIVE, COMPASSIONATE, CARING

KINGDOM OF GOD?”

BY: J. FARRELL FISHER, AUGUST 22-24, 2018

The issue in this message, the continual warfare of the soul, the captivity under Satan’s ‘lies’, the sad ‘sickness’ of “the sin-corrosive”, ‘flesh-captive walk’, and “the strong delusion” that the devil isn’t real, or, even if he is, it’s not a serious thing to have to deal with, since one can choose to ‘get along with darkness’, tolerate warped religious thoughts, stay away from churches in order to enjoy your ‘flesh’, rather than believe one’s “Christ” crucified it, and that there is even allowance of both good and bad, right or wrong, because “a little sin never will be the reality of separation from your holy god” – “you’re just blind to human potential!” Really?

The “sin-corrosive, ‘flesh-captive’, Satanically-controlled world”, inspired and deceived by Satan, who, yes, provokes rebellion and disobedience, deludes the fallen mind of eternal Truth, filling the heart with ‘lies’, encouraging, inciting, even giving ‘academy of Hell awards’ for going against God’s sacred will and heavenly plan! Even though the brother of Jesus, James, wrote, in James 1:13-15, “Let no man say when he is tempted, ‘I am tempted of God’: for God, cannot be tempted with evil, neither does He ‘tempt’ any man; But every man is tempted, when he is drawn away of his own lust, and enticed. Then when lust has conceived, it brings forth sin: and sin, when it is finished, brings forth death”.

But ‘warped’ theologians’ and ‘modern, deceived, professing disciples’ today are convinced “believers can’t do anything but ‘sin’ until they get to Heaven, and because God is so merciful, so understanding, so gracious, that He ‘accepts’ the ‘continuing sin of the believer’ even though King Jesus said, “Go, and SIN NO MORE”, assuring themselves that though there IS sin, it’s not ‘deadly eternally’ because merciful God has, does, and will overlook one’s ‘sin-nature’!

You’ve heard it: “Sin is NOT death, but the occasional side-track from a life ‘believing in God’, but seeing no demand to “do what He says”, even though Jesus Himself said: “Why do YOU call Me ‘Lord, Lord’, YET you do not do what I say?”

True believers do not ‘excuse their sin’; true believers do not ‘pretend’ obedience by their willful ‘choose’ to “walk both sides of life” with their ‘two-street-interpretation’, the highway of holiness AND the highway of optional but forgiven ‘sin’.

James was so right when in James 1:14 he wrote: “But every man is tempted, when he/she is drawn away by his/her own lust, and enticed”, but some, interpreting the ‘faith walk’ as simply an act of disobedience, but void of any consequence, broadcast continuously their warped interpretations – “Sin IS death, but not eternal separation from God, whether one ‘believes’ it or not-just a ‘mis-step’, but merciful God grants realignment and acceptance so you continue to enjoy both ‘good and evil’ under God’s banner of ‘amazing grace’!”

“Drawn away”, for some, does not mean ‘the door is closed TO God’, but, because He is so merciful, He allows us ‘who believe’ to trust, while continuing to sin, because God’s mercy is overwhelmingly more powerful than the ‘flesh-desire’ to sin!

‘The sin-corrosive, flesh-captive, Satanically-controlled world’, IS NOT an avenue of acceptability for those who choose to “walk the Highway of Holiness” but void of “Blood-Redemption” through the sacrifice of Christ Jesus on Calvary’s Cross!

I love Spiros Zodhiates’ comments when in his book, “The Behavior of Belief”, he wrote about James 1:14, saying (pps:67-68), “The verb “tempted” here is to be understood as having the same meaning as in the previous verse, the solicitation to sin, the inner desire to do that which is contrary to the law of God laid down for you as an individual. “But each one is tempted by his own lust.”, continuing,

I hesitate to say that I am satisfied with this translation because of the necessity of a careful examination of the Greek word translated “lust”. In the Greek it is “epithumia”. The English word “lust” is almost always associated with the bodily appetites and lasciviousness, whereas the Greek “epithumia” is rather associated with the desire of the soul, which is the moving force of that which pertains to the body. It is an ardent desire, the inclination of the soul to enjoy or acquire something. In its verbal form it means “to set one’s heart upon a thing, to long for, to covet, to desire.” The root of the word is “thumos”, which means “the soul or spirit as the principle of life, feeling, thought, mind, will, and purpose.” Who go into all this detail as to the meaning of this word? Simply to show

That we cannot blame the weakness of the flesh, which God created, as the responsible factor in inducing us to sin. It is the spirit of man; it is the voluntary attitude of man; it is the mental imagination of the pleasure of sin that is condemned in the Scriptures, and not only the actual physical performance thereof. This is just what our Lord meant in the Sermon on the Mount. WATCH YOUR INNER DISPOSITION, YOUR INNER ATTITUDE. You can commit sin simply by looking and wishing, simply by thinking and imagining. The sins of omission and commission are bad, but the worst sins are those of disposition.”

“Disposition”? The Random House Collegiate Dictionary, Revised Edition of 1975, describes “disposition” as follows: “the predominant or prevailing tendency of one’s spirits; mental outlook or mood;…”! It’s like a “two-faced” or “divided heart”, committed TO Christ, but the ‘door’ to the ‘old man’ left opened or cracked, trying to maintain the desires of both worlds, “flesh, old-sin nature, AND the spirit-nature” birthed in and through the Indwelling Christ Jesus!

Zodhiates went on to say, (p.68), “But each one is tempted BY HIS OWN DESIRE OF THE SOUL,”adding, “That would really be a perfect translation of this verse. The diagnosis is now made. Sin is something that begins with the desire of the heart. The remedy, therefore, is not the casting away of parts of your body or the seclusion of the body in a monastery, but the PURIFICATION AND SUBLIMATION OF THAT INNER DESIRE, the cleansing of the heart by the precious blood of the Lord Jesus Christ”, truly understanding, grasping, ‘resting in’: “crucified with Christ”!

But, Do YOU understand? Really, truly, there is no release after repentance and faith in Christ alone to be ‘privileged’ to hold onto, take advantage of, enjoy ‘the old sin-nature’!! AND, yes, the “divided heart” WAS and STILL IS “crucified with Christ”!!! THE ABSOLUTE NECESSITY? “You must be BORN AGAIN”, appreciative, thankful, ever rejoicing that your ‘old man’ WAS “crucified with Christ”, and YOU, through true repentance and faith, RECEIVE THE LIFE OF CHRIST IN YOU THAT DOES NOT SIN, learning from the Word daily that YOU “take the sentence of death daily that His Resurrection Life may be manifested, released, unveiled in your mortal flesh” for the world around you to see!

Didn’t the Lord Jesus say, “And I, if I be lifted up (IN YOU), WILL draw all men (around YOU) unto Me”? Are YOU aware of His abiding Presence in you? Do YOU “take the sentence of death daily to your old man that the Resurrected Christ may be manifested, unveiled, revealed, and eternally active of touching your world around you with “Amazing Grace, His awesome Life, and His eternal power, and heavenly intent of, yes, bringing ‘Heaven’ to earth in you, through you, around you?

Do You, daily, execute that sentence of death to ‘self’, AND “rest” in His Abiding Presence, that, through YOU, He might extend His Life, express His love, and prove His power? In 2 Corinthians 1:9 Paul wrote: “But we had the sentence of death in ourselves, that we should not trust in ourselves, but trust in God “in us” who raises the dead around us and through us”, saying also in chapter 2:14, “Now thanks be unto God, which also causes us to triumph in Christ, and makes manifest the savor of His knowledge by us in every place.” 1 Corinthians 15:31 Paul said, “I die daily”, that he didn’t ‘rest’ in his best efforts – he died to himself that Christ Jesus would be His all in all!”

Of course, I KNOW that there are those who, even in their faith walk, look inward to self, inspired by ‘fleshly pride’, resulting in doubt, in distress, and disappointment, because ‘self’ is not the Abiding Savior, self is not the Great Physician, and self is not the Spiritual Emancipator that “sets the captives free”!!

Examine thoroughly James 1:17-18! “Every good gift and every perfect gift is from above, and comes down from the Father of lights, with whom is no variableness, neither shadow of turning. OF HIS OWN WILL HE birthed us with the word of truth, that we should be a kind of first-fruits of his creative, spiritually eternal, regenerated, sanctified nature!

“OF HIS OWN WILL”? It’s not men ‘trying’ – it’s men “trusting”! It’s not men ‘attempting’ – it’s men “atoned for” by the shed blood of Christ alone! It’s not men ‘sensing a heavenly nature’ – it’s men repenting, resting, and relieved that God “birthed us in Him by His Holy Spirit”!

Does Holy God still say, “Choose YOU this day whom you will serve,” even knowing that many men will ‘lean’ to themselves and never ‘enter His Haven of Rest’, the Resurrected, Reigning, Restoring Savior of fallen men to His “eternal intent” – “Christ in you the hope of glory”!! It was George D. Moore and H.L. Gilmour, in the old American Hymnal, who wrote: “The Haven of Rest”. It says:

“My soul in sad exile was out on life’s sea, So burdened with sin and distress, Till I heard a sweet voice saying, “Make me your choice,” And I entered the haven of rest.

I yielded myself to His tender embrace, And, faith taking hold of the word, My fetters fell off, and I anchored my soul; The haven of rest is my Lord.

The song of my soul, since the Lord made me whole, Has been the old story so blest, Of Jesus, who’ll save whosoever will have A home in the haven of rest.

Oh, come to the savior, He patiently waits, To save by His power divine; Come, anchor your soul in the haven of rest, And say, “My Beloved is mine.”

I’ve anchored my soul in the haven of rest, I’ll sail the wide seas no more; The tempest may sweep o’er the wild stormy deep, (but) In Jesus I’m safe evermore.” Are YOU a selected one, a chosen one, a ‘crucified with Christ’ sinner saved by grace, complete in Christ, lacking nothing, one living in “the fullness of the blessing of the gospel of Jesus Christ”?

“OF HIS OWN WILL?” Around you, you’ll find men who say, “Let your conscience be your guide”, and, if you do, you’ll find ‘self-consciousness’ to be the downfall of personal spiritual blindness, never leading you to “the foot of the Cross, to the empty tomb, or see, sense, celebrate the Resurrected Christ on His eternal Throne of glory still fulfilling, obeying, and submitting to the Sovereignty of the Holy Father, thankful to Him for receiving His volunteers of repentance and faith and obedience to the King of kings and Lord of lords!

“OF HIS OWN WILL!!” In Ephesians 1:3-14 is an anointed, uplifting, Word of encouragement! It says: “Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, WHO HAS BLESSED US WITH EVERY SPIRITUAL BLESSING IN THE HEAVENLY PLACES IN CHRIST, just as He chose us in Christ before the foundation of the world, that we should be holy and without blame before Him in love, having predestined us to adoption as sons BY JESUS CHRIST TO HIMSELF, according to the good pleasure of His will, to the praise of the glory of His grace, by which HE MADE US ACCEPTED IN THE BELOVED.

In Him (in Christ Jesus only!) we have redemption through His blood, the forgiveness of sins, according to the riches of His grace which He made to abound toward us in all wisdom and prudence, having made known to us the mystery of His will, according to the good pleasure which He purposed in Himself, that in the dispensation of the fullness of the times He might gather together in one all things in Christ, both which are in heaven and which are on earth – in Him. In Him also we HAVE OBTAINED AN INHERITANCE, being predestined according to the purpose of Him who works all things according to the counsel of His will, that we who first trusted in Christ should BE TO THE PRAISE OF HIS GLORY.”

In Him, Ephesian disciples, American followers, and you also trusted, after you heard the word of truth, the gospel of your salvation; in whom also, HAVING BELIEVED (HAVING TRUSTED, HAVING “RESTED” IN HIS FINISHED WORK AT THE CROSS AND THE EMPTY TOMB!!), you were SEALED with the Holy Spirit of promise, who IS THE GUARANTEE of our inheritance, until the redemption of the purchased possession, to the praise of His glory.”

Have YOU been “filled with ALL the fullness of God”? Have YOU held onto the “unsearchable riches of Christ”? Are YOU “walking worthy of the calling with which you were called” or are YOU ‘drunk with the wines of self-indulgence’, OR do you “LIVE” “FILLED WITH THE HOLY SPIRIT”? Are YOU “self-motivated” OR are YOU “being ‘mastered’ by the Master?

Is your walk of faith ‘weak’ OR are YOU “strong in the Lord and in the power of His might”? Are YOU a “devil entertainer” or do YOU live, clothed in the full armor of God, able to withstand the days’ evil, and having done all, to stand, yes, for the honor and praise of King Jesus? Do YOU pray in the Spirit, walk in the Spirit, withstand the evil around you in the Spirit, overcoming worldly and fleshly ambitions to LIVE For The Glory of Christ Alone? Are YOU a disciple of ‘dead weight’ or a true warrior of faith living, walking, fighting, serving in “the fullness of the blessing of the gospel of Jesus Christ”?

In closing, a few words of mine, yes, inspired testimony by the “guiding Holy Spirit”:

“I once was ‘lost’, but now I’m found; I once was blind, but now I see; I once was dirty in the garment of ‘sin’, but now I’ve been cleansed by the blood of the Lamb.

Darkness prevailed, and then came “The Light”; darkness distressed, and “The Light” offered “REST”; darkness ‘tired’, but the Spirit “inspired” LIFE IN THE LORD THAT NEVER RETIRES!

‘Darkness’ ease is a deadly disease, but the Great Physician brings “Heaven’s Release”! ‘Darkness’ author is the Satanic Liar, offering release to a ‘lesser lair’.

‘Darkness’ song is an off-key chord, eventually bringing a life that is bored; but Jesus comes to offer His Light to free you from ‘the cellar of devilish might’! Yes,

“Free from the Law, O happy condition; Christ Jesus bled, and there is “Remission”! Free to ‘rest’ in His resurrection, boldly declaring, “I’m His habitation”!! Amen?
