Friend so many of us believe that we don't need Holy Forgivness.

That is not God's Truth.

We do not realise that we are just a speck; not even half the size of a grain of sand in the grand scheme of everything that exists.

How foolish to think we know more than the Great Diety who rules over all space and time, matter, supernatural realms, galaxies; you name something, and it is owned by Him; created by Him in great precision and beauty using all the sciences and probably a lot more that we are not capable of understanding in the earth flesh realm.

If we put all mankind together; shoulder to shoulder in columns of one million using those who have ever lived, the size wouldn't amount to a tiny spot in the cosmos. The whole earth is just a tiny spot!

Mankind likes to think it knows everything and could give God some advice!

This thinking is erroneous and harmful to that human's mental growth. Over time the bitterness and anger set in to the mind and the heart becomes very hard as they try to be good. Others of this mindset give themselves over to having the best time in life as they pursue everything on offer in the evil kingdom. For them they eagerly lap us the lusts of the flesh, enjoying every second of life in laughter and wantoness.

And there are many who really do live a good life according to what they deem is good. They're nice to people, they love family and friends, they help when they feel the need is there, and they mentor others; all good things, but like many I know, they are "dead set" against there being a God. 

We don't know the whole reason for why we were created; yes to have companionship with God - created for Him; the One Who created us; but being God, He would have had a multitude of matter and Law to coordinate to bring about our existence, and possibly therefore many more reasons to do so to expand His Dominion or "decorate" His surroundings; that are His Privilege to know. 

He is The Great and Perfect Potter and we are the clay.

When we go about our days we hear and see what is going on all over the world and in our immediate vicinity. 

We see all those other people being greedy, killing people for no good reason, causing chaos, getting high to check out from reality thinking that's all there is.

But we do not put ourselves in the category of needing to be Holy Forgiven. We may have forgivness from our friends and famiy for our minor sinful behaviours and think that is enough, "I'm wholly sinless again!"

We think we're not as bad as the next person. They're the sinner, not me.

We think we have fooled God.

Others deny God for they want to be free to sin, and some have tried to be sinless, but yet cannot stop; so for them it's best to think there is no God, so then the conscience can be free to allow the flesh to do as it pleases.

All this is human reasoning and justifying of their own situation.

Being below God in Perfect (Holy) Intelligence, man has no right to think this way. 

We only have a Right to know how God thinks of us.

He says we are: "not Good, no not one."

This is the place to start to understand our human condition; for a mind that is open to hearing Holy Truth; that God says we're not good enough for The Kingdom of Life.

Our thinking and understanding should be; God is The Master of all things; and I am his creation in flesh, with a soul He has given to me, and a spirit, which is from Him. 

He says that I am a sinner in need of a Holy Saviour. 

He designed mankind to have a Free Will; knowing that if we got tangled up with satan, we would fall from that Grace Full stance, of being in the world walking in God's Grace, to being sinners, walking in disharmony with Him; needing His Forgiveness.

Yet He gave it to us anyway knowing all that would happen. He within a nanosecond is able to fulfill His Law, regarding mankind, with whatever Free Will decisions we make and undertake. He doesn't have to sit around a big table with advisors and struggle to understand our situation while finding a solution.

He knows the solution before we take the step into sin. But by our Free Will we ignore Him.

We're sinners through and through. 

We have to understand this about ourself. 

Once you can say, "Ok, I am a sinner against God," you will know that you need a Saviour to help you disentangle from evil.

You need Him to Forgive you.

Tell Him.

Friend, so many of us are what Jesus calls; lost.

And every new day, is a day that He desires we become; found.

He is waiting with outstretched hand for you to come to His Loving bosom of care and kindness.

You're his little child who doesn't know Him; yet He knows you.

He wants to tell you of Himself so that you will know He is The Best Dad that you could ever wish for; even though you may love your earthly Dad.

He loves your earthly Dad too; and He is your Dad's Loving Father.

Jesus says it is urgent for you to come to Him to find out about how Trustworthy He is. 

He sees the dangers ahead for you, caused by your poor choices; your attempts to do things without His Strength and Power.

He knows the state of your soul and that of those you hang with too.

What is the next hour going to bring? He knows all the ways that things could go wrong for you but you do not want to listen.

You're "hell bent!"

Jesus said to Thomas the one doubting disciple; when He appeared amongst them after His Resurrection from the dead; and after Thomas was shown the holes in His hands; "You have now believed only because you have seen Me; But how blessed will be those people who believe even though they have never seen me."

That's you and I; and everyone in the world since He ascended to Heaven to sit at the Right Hand of The Father; we've never seen Him.

Many times we are like the Doubter Thomas, we won't believe unless we actually see Him in the flesh; but we know that's also not going to happen. So we paint ourselves into a corner that perpetuates unbelief.

Over our lifetimes we grow both physically and spiritually.

Some grow away from God; don't let this be you.

At least give your soul a chance to know Jesus. 

He wants to present you to The Holy Father as a believer saved by His Sacrifice on The Cross.

The Father does not recognise any other Way. This is His Decree; Only through the Blood of Jesus.

Through belief in The Son's birth, life, death and resurrection we stand sinless before The Father.

There is a song written about The Christian's Creed by Rich Mullins, and also performed by Third Day a Christian Band.

end.

This is what is in every born again believer's heart and it honours Father, Son and Spirit.

When you can say or sing these words of faith and belief you have all you need for this lifetime; and it says you are not lost to God anymore.

That's belief.

Friend, Who Is God, to you?

Is He a hard taskmaster; a harsh unfair Judge; unforgiving; unloving; liar; amongst many other angry thoughts you have of Him?

Is that because you have not got your "way" in this life; blame Him for the loss of loved ones; haven't been able to manipulate Him like you manipulate others to get what you want?

You're an unbeliever through and through. You'll argue against anyone who tries to prove differently to your belief that He is an angry out to "get" you and all humans, kind of God?

But friend, He knows everything about you! He sees your hardened heart towards Him. He knows His Word does not settle in your mind: that you reject it. Nothing is hidden from Him.

He sees the partnerships you have with evil spirits. The deals you've made with the devil which you deny to your own "self."

But even through the profane name calling of God that utters from your lips in copious amounts each day; while you are alive here on earth, God never gives up on loving you into His Kingdom.

The Cross of Jesus says it all. It is the symbol of God's Love for mankind as a whole.

Jesus as The Son of God, and the son of a human mother, gave up His Life by means of a Holy Sacrifice for all souls, who will ever be born; as a Saviour Who paid our debt to The Law; for the souls of all. 

God says we are wicked; there is no Holy Good in us; yet He will not give up on us in this life. 

Sinners owe The Law.

We have this "time" to choose to know and love Him; He has decreed it so. It is a life to find Truth. To examine who we are and what our connection is to Him.

This is a Right for each soul born into the earth realm; because God knows how evil satan is, and what evil is doing, and has done to mankind. He is the great deceiver of mankind. 

Never forget that satan is a created being also. He is subject to The Law also and he is being dealt with according to The Law.

Satan was not privy to the inner workings of The Godhead's Plan to Holy Redeem those souls on earth, of mankind, who were and would be faithful to God.  Satan was only worried about a human king, which might arise to have more power in worldly governments, than him. Satan didn't understand what would be unleashed on the world when he manipulated the hearts of the Pharisee's to have Christ crucified!

At the time of Jesus, Satan did not know of The New Covenant; he was operating in The Law of The Old Covenant and was winning souls everyday.

Satan was operating in the "now" and God sees and operates in all realms and all "times," everywhere.

God measures by His Goodness which is Holy, Pure, full of Truth. He is not a frivilous God. He is a Lawful God and is bound by Himself Who Is Law.

None who have ever lived, are living today, or will be born into this world till He comes again, have enough Goodness in them to be able to enter The Kingdom of God. 

Without the disobedience of Adam and Eve; who were created sinless, placed in the Holy Place of Eden, where God could walk with them in Holy Communion; who ate of the fruit of the tree, that God had warned them not to eat thereof; which would cause a fall from God's Grace; the Law of Moses was not needed.

Adam and Eve chose by not keeping God's Command in The Holy Garden, a wilful act, to be self willed. They lived in God's Grace and then they chose something else. This wasn't an overnight thing or a random defiance by Eve. She spoke to Adam of the serpent as if he too knew of it's existence. The serpent was familiar to them just as the neighbour down the street is familiar to us. We don't know him or her, but recognise their humanity, as we walk by their home, and wave, if we see them; sometimes we exchange pleasantries.

They wanted to know what the evil one who had seduced them; knew. They stopped and chatted perhaps on many an occassion listening to the serpent's tales.

Mankind's first Free Will choice against God, was to disobey God and suffer the consequences. (This could have happened after many years; we are not given times.)

And so it was that evil was let loose into God's creation of humankind.

One more strike against satan from The Holy Standpoint. He ruined God's creation in this world. But God has a Plan for satan and his evil kingdom; knowing all the chess moves evil could make.  

Yet God's Vision of mankind populating the earth with all the souls waiting to be born will be fulfilled; for God willed it before He created Adam.

God has never stopped loving us. He knows satan is to blame yet we must bear some responsibility. In our Free Will we chose to know evil.

God had an answer to satan's continual and habitual interference in His Creation.

A Holy Sacrifice is the payment to The Law which is Himself - He is held together by His Own Law - to clear the debt we owe.

There was none but The Son in Heaven who had The Holy Blood, that would suffice The Law; for all others are created less than God; including satan.

Jesus would come to earth, take on the flesh and blood of the earth world; witness, reveal, teach and guide earthly souls back to The Father's  Will and Love.

Friend, do you know God Loves you? Do you understand that God paid a Price too; when His Son was tortured, crucified and died? He turned away from the earth; it became as night for hours.

Without Him, we are in darkness! 

That's how much He loves us. He knew He would suffer but for us He willed a New Covenant, that would make a Way, for us to be reunited with Him, as in the days of Adam. He would pay the price of the flesh and the spiritual Punishment, required by The Law.

This would free us from the Old Testament Law and bring into being a New Law that would require belief in The Son and The Sacrifice being paid for us .

Personal Relationship is what He is after. On The Cross, The Son Holy Forgave all those who will believe that is what He did.

While we were wicked, turned away from Him; in fact we chose a murderer (Barrabas) to be pardoned so that a place could be found for our Loving God to be crucified; He loved us - He went to The Cross.

How do you think that choice hurt the Father's Heart, and The Son's also?  After three years of itinerant teaching ministry; healing the sick, raising the dead, and casting devils out of minds and bodies, we rejected Him; wanted Him dead and gone from us.

Even so, God honoured His Promise to us, and paid The Ultimate Price on The Cross for our souls to be free from satan, if we so chose. 

Still God continued to offer His Promise to earth's souls, to have Free Will to choose.

This shows us much about Jesus and The Father. 

Love and Trustworthiness is at the core of Who they are.

Hate and untrustworthiness is at the core of what evil is. 

Jesus asks us to follow Him; to deny satan's power; for He died so that we could tell satan we're not interested in his ways anymore.

These are the things of God we must allow our mind to encounter, to listen to, to think about, to make a choice for one Master.

Evil is the wicked master and God, Father, Son and Spirit are The Good Master.

Think about what God has done for you. Not others, just you, yourself.

He wants to give you Life Everlasting with Him and evil wants to give you death throes everlasting.

Friend, the Prophet of God Almighty, Isaiah, tells us in Chapter 30, Verse 15; that in quietness from within our spirit, and confidence in God's Strength, we will have strength in our soul, that translates to the flesh having no fear; for God is with us, and He is leading us to the Righteous Path, where Good and Truth prevail.

Believers do not have to strive in the same sense as the unbeliever; because God has no desire to see us fail at what He has planned for us, from before we were born.

He wants us in His Kingdom, safe and secure from the wolves and all the evil ways of the unbelievers.

We receive true Knowledge of Him when we settle in our minds to be followers, eager to learn of HIs Ways; willing to work hard for The Kingdom to be known to all mankind.

And a job and working hard in the workplace to do the day's work, honours God; when people know you are a believer; so we don't need to spend a lifetime dropped out from society, dancing among the tulips doing nothing of Kingdom value. 

The Holy Spirit is always pointing us to The Holy Bible where Jesus, The Word of God, speaks to us intimately.

It's His Story and our history. He cannot lie. He always speaks Truth.

When we accept that He is not a liar; and read His Word for us, the advice and reassurances He gives us, as we read through the story of His Son named Jesus, (also God of The Trinity;) He reveals to our spirit, Great Promises and Truths, Knowledge and Wisdom.

Many people reject Him without ever hearing a Word He says.

Their existence has been compromised by the choices they have made, the lies they have heard, and the entanglements they have walked into willingly with evil.

But even in that very compromised circumstance, one thought about Him draws The Holy Spirit to that person. He is able to help that one to the degree that the heart and mind are willing to accept Him.

God has a deal with mankind. He has given us Free Will, a Great Gift, and He will not break that Law, unless it is by our own choice.

At any moment in our life's journey, we can speak to Him, in a quiet moment of reflection we can call to Him, or even, yell His Name in distress and despair, and He will answer by the depth of belief He encounters from the heart and mind of that one in distress.

Mere words from us are nothing of value, but a heart and mind turned to Him; wanting to know if He exists; will receive His attention by His Spirit, and from all the Holy angels that are assigned to do the Spirit's Commands.

If the heart and mind are not in agreement to know God, then all we have is vain striving in the world to get things, to be better than others, and God is never in the midst of those strivings. He does not honour them. He cannot because of Who He Is.

Emptying ourselves of self and placing our whole will in His Hands; no matter the disappointment, trial or tribulation; brings Him close to us. It opens up the secret place in our heart where Jesus can reside; to be with us intimately, one on One.

He Loves and will Forgive all, in Pure Holiness. He died for that Purpose.

Strive in the world no longer, friend!

Be full of Hope!

Friend, The Son of God is all things to the one who believes in Him.

Those who believe in Him, have been drawn to Him by His Holy Spirit.

They were lost; existing away from Him; living their lives sometimes with everything going great and sometimes with everything sliding away from them; leaving them hopeless.

This is how God sees His creation of mankind. 

We are lost! We are not acknowledging Him. We do not realise that we are lost; and we will not listen when someone who has been found, wants to tell us their experience; that of once being hopeless, and now, the Joy of being found.

That's because we have many evil spirits around us that we have given free reign to come and go in our soul, our heart and mind. Those evil spirit's one command from satan himself, is to keep us deceived and unable to know Jesus.

If they can keep us in that state until we die; then they have won our soul. 

It is up to us to listen to what The Holy Spirit has to tell us through God's Son's Holy Death and Resurrection.

Everyone gets a chance to hear about Jesus and wonder.

If we reject Him, satan has won our soul. God will allow satan to have it; having done everything by His Spirit to draw us close to Him for Forgiveness and Redemption.

Our Free Will is ours to either choose Holy God or satan.

With God, all things are made new. Forgiveness is ours because we have made the choice to repent of our sinfulness, and ask God to help us overcome the habitual sin we have become accustomed to depend on for self.

God will make a Way where there seems to be no way out of the miry muck we are enveloped in; stuck and held down by satan's demons!

In an instant we can be clean before God.

In His Word He tells us that He will receive our soul back to Himself through the finished work of His Law, that Jesus carried out for every soul who will come; on the Cross. 

Jesus came as a little Holy Lamb in the flesh like mankind. And He died as The Lamb of God on the Cross. 

A Sacrifice for all the souls of men and women (and children) to give us a New Covenant, a New Promise that through belief in Him, and what He accomplished at The Cross; which takes a heart that says, "Yes, I am a sinner in need of cleansing," we could have The Holy Gift of God; Everlasting Life with Him.

In the core of our soul, there is a tiny "compartment" where Jesus has made a place for Himself when we choose Him; that we have neglected. Jesus is not welcome there.

Until He resides there, we live in darkness, subject to the whims of satan who uses us to entertain himself and his demons, with our cries and unhappiness. Our sorrow, suffering and pain, that they cause, and bring upon us, are their enetrtainment.

Satan's whole purpose on earth is to deceive the souls of mankind, to steal, kill, and destroy every human he can.

In John 10:10 Jesus says to us that the thief/our enemy only comes near us to steal our soul, and everything we have in life; which will destroy those who do not know Jesus; then he and his demonic army swoop in to kill us by suicide, by illness, by insanity and every other evil way they can dream up.

But believing in what Jesus did for us at The Cross and understanding that He finished the Work that had to be done to free mankind from the evil clutches of satan; we can break off those chains of bondage to satan. 

We can be the vilest person, but when we come to understanding who Jesus is, and receiving inspiration from The Holy Spirit, desiring to be set free from the wages of death for our sins, repenting of that sin; we will be cleansed and set apart in this world for Jesus.

By His Spirit, we will learn of The Kingdom; we will come into agreement with Who Jesus Is, The Great I Am; The Mighty Warrior for our souls; The Redeemer kinsman. 

He becomes our All in All; Above All, King of all kings. Lord of Lords. Redeeming Saviour.

He is our Helper, Teacher, Guidance Counsellor, Healer, Restorer. 

And we are heirs of Salvation, grafted into the Royal Line with Jesus, The Son of God.

Don't you want that?

Friend so many humans do not honour God.

They don't realise that He is All Things to us.

We just ignore Him foolishly thinking we are above Him - if He even exists as many refuse to believe in the idea that there is One God.

Yet His Hand is upon us since before we were born.

This is perhaps a beginning thought to have; and a place to start to think about; if you are an unbeliever, not knowing what is required to please God.

God exists. He created you and loves you.

Is God Good?

Friend, He has to be, to be called God, Holy and True; Perfect and Trustworthy, Powerful above all powers; knowing all things; Creator of all that exists.

Can one even imagine this God?

Yet all blessings and every good thing, comes from the Father of Light, not the evil ruler of darkness!

Therefore count your blessings truthfully.

Are you alive? That's a blessing.

Life is difficult and not easy for anyone. So every good thing that has ever occured in your life is a Blessing from God; Provision from God, and Answer from God, Intuition from God.

He is the Originator of all Good things in your life.

Do you have children? God's Gifts to you. Look at them from that perspective; a Gift from God.

When finally comes the day that you will recognise Him; be sure to place Him in the Place of honour and trust, in your heart and mind.

This is where He will meet you, and have communion with you, talking back and forth as your Heavenly Almighty Counsellor and Therapist; your spirit to Holy Spirit.

Be sure to read the New Testament that assures you He is a Loving God by His coming to earth Himself to be your Redeemer. 

As you grow in Holy Knowledge, turn to find out more about Him in the Old Testament, and you will find how His Coming was prophesied; the lineage of Jesus coming through the Holy Priests of Israel to be The High Priest in Heaven for His people of earth.

The Holy Spirit Who Jesus sent to earth after His Resurrection to be our Counsellor will walk with you and teach and show you many things that are spiritual; uplifting to your soul, calming to the mind, and healing in many cases to the flesh.

Without Him, we have a debt to pay that we can never atone for, ever. 

That is why He came. Only Holy Pure Blood can overcome sin's punishment which breaks every Law of God.

He cannot accept the unpure into His Purity.

Friend, until we die, the gate into the FOLD for Jesus Christ's sheep, who will come to Him now, before earthly death, is OPEN.

Why graze outside of the Fold; where every evil awaits to consume the soul, the spirit and the flesh of man?

Inside everything is plentiful. You are safe. You are loved. You will have friends there. The Good Shepherd will hug and love you. You will dance and sing His Praises in Joy as He walks among you. You will not fear death. Life will have new meaning and purpose.

Outside The Holy Fold of Christ Jesus; in the world, there is danger that seeks to kill you; before you know about The Fold For The Good Shepherd's sheep.

I am inside The Fold. I am safe and loved. I am calling to you. I want you to know about The Fold! I want you to know He will welcome you.

I see your pain. I see your troubles. I see the tribulations. I see the demonic spirits that have claimed you; toy with you; keep you from your Promise; Everlasting Life.

Jesus the Good Shepherd, has The Holy Precious Ointment for your wounds. He holds all The Knowledge of everything that exists; He has all The Power and Truth in all Creation everywhere; and He displayed that Knowledge and Power at The Cross, because satan's hold on the souls of men was loosened there, so they could have a choice between Good and evil; Holy Loving God and satan a created angel never to be Holy God.

Satan was defeated; yet mankind still give him their souls! 

He buys them with fame and glory, wealth and power; but it is only given with strings attached. He can recall at any moment for he has "all the goods" on you and will use his power and knowledge against you.

Sadly when this happens, mankind often blames God; but God allows it because it is our choice to have the gifts of satan.

Jesus loves you and it saddens His Heart to see you outside His Fold; floundering around deliberately keeping your eyes off Him.

Your own Free Will Gift of Life; that He gave to you, is what you use to stay on the outside, away from Him.

In His Great Love, He created you and gave to you a unique soul and spirit.

Now, you take that, pushing others over in your self - willed desires; and never thank Him.

Maybe that's a thought to think about. Thankfulness to Him.

It's been nice having this chat over the fence that keeps me safe from satan. I'll keep my eye on you and hope and pray for you to come into the Fold of Christ where we can gambol over the hills together, and gather around our Shepherd who loves us.
