Jesus, Wisdom from God

But you exist of Him in Christ Jesus, who became for us wisdom from God, and these; righteousness and sanctification and redemption . * We exist "in Christ" who has become to us wisdom of God. Through a dispensation of God's grace through Christ God established a New Testament, a will that required the death of His Son, a New Covenant established by the blood of Christ. Christ is Head of the Church where two become one, those under the Mosaic Law and those not, who listen to His voice, and through which the manifold wisdom of God is manifested, " according to the eternal purpose accomplished in Christ Jesus, our Lord, in whom we have boldness and confident access through faith in Him . *  We exist in Jesus, Wisdom from God. he taught them in their synagogue, consequently they were astonished and said, where did this man get such wisdom and miraculous powers ? * The wisdom of Jesus and the wisdom of the religious leaders often contradicted each other.  For e...

Blessed Are The Forgiven

Blessed! the one whose lawless deeds are forgiven and the one whose sins are covered over, blessed is the man whom sin, the Lord will not consider . * Paul writes David foresaw and spoke " blessed is the one whose transgression is forgiven, whose sin is covered . *  Blessed, is the one whom sin is not considered, this word considered  means "to credit, count, reckon, to set down as a matter of account; regard, think, consider." This blessing comes through faith and according to grace, " also David speaks of the blessedness of the one to whom God considers righteousness apart from works ." *  The word for  lawless deeds speaks of the violation of the Law and the word for sin  speaks of missing the mark of God's righteousness. Blessed are those who (by faith in Christ according to grace) have been forgiven. In Him receiving the redemption through his blood, the forgiveness of trespasses according to the riches of His grace . * This fundamental ...

Dead To Sin, Alive to God

For that dying, dying to sin once for all, now, that living, living to God. So too consider yourselves existing dead to sin , now, alive to God in Christ Jesus . * This word existing means "to be, to exist." It is related to the word used by Jesus, "I Am" which means "to be, exist" of God. Those who are born of God exist in Christ, they exist dead to sin, having been baptized into His death and raised into newness of Life. For the child of God is not the struggle over sin the same as dealing with a sickness? is it not the same issue of being whole? and did not Christ die so that we are made whole? So if a child of God struggles with sin, what is the problem? We say the struggle with cancer or sickness is a matter of belief and it existing God's will. It is God's will to be free from sin, in fact he died "once for all," so that we are dead to sin and made alive in Christ. It is a matter of belief, as Christ died and was raised agai...

Controlling Spirits

but this one thing I have against you, that you tolerate the woman Jezebel, who calls herself a prophetess, teaching and seducing my servants to commit sexual immorality and to eat from the altar of demons . * This is the Church of Thyatira, they have been established in the teachings of faith and love, " Knowing your works even also your love and faith and service and endurance, even so your latest works greater than the first, " but they tolerate this prophetess Jezebel. We see Jezebel in the Old Testament, she married King Ahab and as Queen she led not only the king but most of Israel away from God. So lets look at the similarities between the two. We see a Spirit of control, spiritual forces enslaving the weak in faith to  sexual immorality and eating from the altar of demons.  Spirit of control. Jezebel was from a foreign country, who entered the kingdom of God by marriage to King Ahab. In Malachi we see that Judah also commits adultery, divorces the Wife God ...
