Greetings in The Mighty Name of Jesus, The Christ!!!
All Things Become New
2 Corinthians 5:17 KJV
“Therefore if any man [be] in Christ, [he is] a new creature: old things are passed away; behold, all things are become new."
Brothers and Sisters the above Scripture has been miss-quoted so many times that it is not funny, but sad. So many people have been told that All of Their Sins are gone, washed away, no more worries, but this is incorrect. For Our Spirits have been made Brand New, but We through the Power of The Holy Spirit still have to deal with Our Flesh.
As I have said many times before, if Salvation was easy, if it were done in just Accepting Jesus as Savior, then, they would be no need for 27 Books that are in the New Testament, but could have been done with only a pamphlet. But what we find in the 27 Books is to Bring Our Bodies Under Submission To The Spirit! Which the above Scripture implies by saying, “…behold, all things are become new.”. In other words, we used to Do and Say things one way that we understood by The Flesh, but now we look at the same things from God’s Point of view and Changes Our Way Of Thinking and Acting.
In Romans we find Paul begging for Change in The Flesh…
Romans 12:1-2 KJV
"1 I beseech you therefore, brethren, by the mercies of God, that ye present your bodies a living sacrifice, holy, acceptable unto God, [which is] your reasonable service. 2 And be not conformed to this world: but be ye transformed by the renewing of your mind, that ye may prove what [is] that good, and acceptable, and perfect, will of God."
These Two Scriptures sum up what is needed to be done. That first we need to Understand that it is By God’s Mercies that we are allowed to bring our Flesh in to Submission to The Spirit to Become a Living Sacrifice for God to use. Secondly we find that by Allowing this that Our Living In The Spirit and bring Our Bodies into Submission is Holy and Acceptable unto God which IS the only Reasonable Service we can do. How we are to accomplish this, is Not being Conformed to the Worlds Ideologies on how to do things, but that Our Minds MUST be Transformed from one way of thinking to a completely different way of thinking. Why is this? So that we who are to Live In The Spirit, bring Our Bodies into Submission to Prove that God’s Ways are Good, they are Acceptable and we will Produce The Perfect Will Of God in Our Lives for The World to see that Jesus is Savior and Lord! That it is much, much more than just Confessing that Jesus is Savior and Lord, but through Our Speech and Actions we can Prove this Transformation that is Provided By God’s Mercies.
James 2:14-24 KJV
"14 What [doth it] profit, my brethren, though a man say he hath faith, and have not works? can faith save him? 15 If a brother or sister be naked, and destitute of daily food, 16 And one of you say unto them, Depart in peace, be [ye] warmed and filled; notwithstanding ye give them not those things which are needful to the body; what [doth it] profit? 17 Even so faith, if it hath not works, is dead, being alone. 18 Yea, a man may say, Thou hast faith, and I have works: shew me thy faith without thy works, and I will shew thee my faith by my works. 19 Thou believest that there is one God; thou doest well: the devils also believe, and tremble. 20 But wilt thou know, O vain man, that faith without works is dead? 21 Was not Abraham our father justified by works, when he had offered Isaac his son upon the altar? 22 Seest thou how faith wrought with his works, and by works was faith made perfect? 23 And the scripture was fulfilled which saith, Abraham believed God, and it was imputed unto him for righteousness: and he was called the Friend of God. 24 Ye see then how that by works a man is justified, and not by faith only."
No, Works cannot Save Us, nor can just Confession that Jesus is Savior, but it is the combination of them both that Salvation is brought forth, all for The World to see.
This is why Jesus said you cannot Hide a Candle Stick under a basket, but that it is brought to the center of the room for All Flesh to see.
Matthew 5:14-16 KJV
"14 Ye are the light of the world. A city that is set on an hill cannot be hid. 15 Neither do men light a candle, and put it under a bushel, but on a candlestick; and it giveth light unto all that are in the house. 16 Let your light so shine before men, that they may see your good works, and glorify your Father which is in heaven."
Even Our Lord Jesus said, “…Your Good Works…”, for your Spirit is made brand new by Your Confession, but now Your Good Works will be a Witness and Testimony to those in the World to see The Work that has been done in you. It is like Baptism, it does not Save You, but is an Outward Sign to an Inward Change for others to see. Every one of us who are Born Again, Blood Bought, MUST have Outward Signs that something Supernatural has taken place within us, but as in all things, it is Our Choice!
In the Book Of Acts we are shown the Outward Evidence to an Inward Change, when All Things became Common among everyone who had Accepted Jesus as Savior and Lord.
Acts 4:32-35 KJV
"32 And the multitude of them that believed were of one heart and of one soul: neither said any [of them] that ought of the things which he possessed was his own; but they had all things common. 33 And with great power gave the apostles witness of the resurrection of the Lord Jesus: and great grace was upon them all. 34 Neither was there any among them that lacked: for as many as were possessors of lands or houses sold them, and brought the prices of the things that were sold, 35 And laid [them] down at the apostles' feet: and distribution was made unto every man according as he had need."
This, Brothers and Sisters is the True Church! There is both Confession and Works that have come together as being in One Accord. They Freely made everything Common among themselves, to all who had Confessed Jesus as Savior and now by Works, their Confessions are made Manifested In Works, Proving Jesus as Lord.
Jesus made a Confounding Statement, He said by The Love that you have for one another, the World will know that You are My Disciples. Jesus was speaking about what would take place in the above Scriptures, that The Love that you have for one another will Prove to The World that You Are My Disciples!!! When Jesus spoke these words, it was NOT the Love for those in The Flesh, The World, but He was talking about The Church Loving each other.
John 13:34-35 KJV
"34 A new commandment I give unto you, That ye love one another; as I have loved you, that ye also love one another. 35 By this shall all [men] know that ye are my disciples, if ye have love one to another."
Jesus is not talking about the Lost, Unsaved, He is talking about those who Confess Him as Savior and Lord! That The Works Of Love that we do for one another is Proof that We are The Disciples Of Jesus. There should be No Divisions among us in any shape of form, but showing Loving, Manifesting Love for one another is a Demand of Jesus towards His Church in these the Later Days. There should not be any Hungry among you, there should not be any who are Destitute among you, there should not be any who are in Rag Clothing among you, but let everything be Common among you, the Born Again, Blood Bought!!! Let us truly Repent and truly turn Our Wicked Ways into Godly Ways, so that the following Scripture will be Manifested In God’s Temple, His Church…
2 Chronicles 7:14 KJV
“If my people, which are called by my name, shall humble themselves, and pray, and seek my face, and turn from their wicked ways; then will I hear from heaven, and will forgive their sin, and will heal their land."
You say what do we have to Repent For? For many are Arrogant among you, thinking that you are better than the poor among you, who are Your Brothers and Sisters In Jesus! You Tithe your money not for the Needs of Brothers and Sisters, but for anything else but for those things needed! You build large buildings that are fancy and miss how a barn would suffice! You wear fancy clothes and say we must dress for the occasion only to manifest yourselves to your peers, saying look at me, having no understanding that good clean clothes of a man, woman and child who’s hearts and actions are one of obedience and are more acceptable then you! You put people into position of authority just because you can, not knowing that the least that you count is more godly then you all! Shall I continue or have you hardened your hearts enough!!! You justify your words and your actions only to have God turn His Face from you, but turns to the one that is humble before God to manifest His Love in and through!!!
It is not giving to the poor on the street, but to the poor that is Your Brothers or Sisters or giving to those who call themselves missionaries, when you cannot even take care of your own house! We have become so lazy that if we cannot push a button to get it done, we do not want any part of it! Back in the old days they used have barn raising events that all of the neighbors would come together to help another neighbor in building a barn, asking for nothing in return, except a thank you. Today if I cannot pay someone to do something, it will not get done regardless the need that is at hand, they are left to their own devices to sink or swim with no worriers of your own to care one way or the other.
To all of those in these two paragraphs who choose ungodliness over godliness I Rebuke!! You call yourselves the church but your speech and actions speak of someone who is foreign to The Kingdom Of God!!! You have made All Things New, but not in a good way, Jesus is still waiting for a truly repentant heart whom He can use as vessels of honor! There should be such a movement within God’s House that every news media on earth would be fighting to get that news!!! Repent Church, Repent, Jesus is coming and He is coming for The Elite In Him, Walking In Obedience, Doing The Fathers Will in their lives so that The World can see!!!
Think on this Scripture…
Matthew 7:21 KJV
“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."
Amen and Amen!!!
