  1. Be blessed in walking in the newness of life, that which set the believer free…. A fellow follower of His, Not me, blessings….
  2. 1 Corinthians 15:46 (NASB20) However, the spiritual is not first, but the natural; then the spiritual. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ As with all God’s dealings with fallen man, that which is of the outward must come first; it being, one believing that Christ did sacrifice Himself on the cross for the forgiveness of one’s sins…. Then that which is spiritual comes, it being, believing that Christ took the believing one also to death with Him when He died on the cross…. That which is of the outward must come first, being that which the human will chooses to believe, then that which is spiritual comes, that which that same believing believes, by adding one’s death on the cross with Christ to that same faith…. For this is the spiritual faith of a Christian, that which turns one from a carnal believer into a spiritual believer; one believing that when Christ died on the cross He took the sinful one with Him to death, thereby freeing one from the law by fulfilling the law concerning the sinner which reads; ‘the soul that sins, that soul shall die’…. This is the Christian’s spiritual faith, believing this truth, and believing into this truth….. For struggle as much as one will against sin, one will never find victory but in the way of this faith; believing that when Christ died on the cross He took the believing one to death with Him, so that by faith it might be made true , ‘it is no longer I who live, but Christ that lives in me’….. This is that which is spiritual, that which comes after, which when the faith of it comes, becomes one’s very life, and the very heart of it… For the faith that becomes one’s very life is the faith one is to live by….. Be blessed in the faith of the very heart of life…. A fellow follower, Not me
  3. Very nice, this truth being the foundation of our faith, many blessings as we all come to the awesomeness of the freedom this truth brings forth…. Oh to the all of Him and the nothing of us, a fellow follower, blessings, Not me
  4. Ephesians 5:16 (NKJV) redeeming the time, because the days are evil. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ What is righteousness…? The question every heart that would want to redeem one’s time should be constantly asking oneself….. For in the asking of this question is one asking for and looking to the will of God…. For in the doing of righteousness does God’s will in one’s life become manifested, known, tasted and experienced…. For God live’s, waits, and works in righteousness for those willing to search after and into righteousness… One does not have to see and understand all righteousness just be willing to search after the righteousness that stands before one in the immediate now…. For in the searching after righteousness will the growing in God be found, for all things of this world mean nothing if one is not growing in God…. For at the very moment of one’s departure from this world, the only thing of any value will be how much of the life of Christ has been brought to life in one, for the expressing of righteousness being the manifestation of the life of Christ… For it is faith that searches into and after righteousness, believing that it does exist and it stands before one as a constant thing waiting to be embraced and given leave to manifest itself…. For faith in God manifesting righteousness is faith in God manifesting the growing of Christ’s life in one pointed towards all… For the growing of the life of Christ in one is that which redeems the time…. Be blessed in the redeeming of the time given, Not me
  5. Hi Debp, my suggestion would be pray about it, which I know you have and you are, then trust God, and go with what the peace of Christ in your heart says, don’t go by any fear either way, just what gives you the most peace in your inner most being…. Be standing with you that you might get a clear read…. In Christ, Not me
  6. Hebrews 12:2 (NASB20) looking only at Jesus, the originator and perfecter of the faith, who for the joy set before Him endured the cross, despising the shame, and has sat down at the right hand of the throne of God. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Looking only at the Originator and the Perfecter of the faith, being the Perfecter by causing one to be willing to do the only… For this is what the essence of what the Christian faith is; a only looking to Jesus… As simple as this might sound, the distractions to not look are everywhere, the mind itself being a torrent of distractions…. With the desire to this, the longing after that, the never ending need to be and to do…. But when the one only thing that is necessary is discovered, the only thing necessary comes in and takes its proper place and the heart rests in the only place there is to rest, that place being the only place that puts all of life’s distractions in their place and that place being; one being dead on the cross with Christ…. For a dead man has no more worries of this world, has no more desires after the this or the that of this world, for the freedom and universality of a spirit is the freedom and universality of a dead man in Christ… For one’s life is gone, Christ’s life has come, this life of one only looking to Christ so that He might do with, and in one what He might please…. For it is this faith that has been brought to life in one, this faith being accessed by the will of the heart desiring it to be so, backed by the truth and reality that Jesus did indeed die for one so He might make the believing one into a new creation…. It sounds so simple yet impossible to do, until, one knows one truly has been taken to death by Christ with Him when He died on the cross so He might do exactly that….. Then does this only looking to Jesus become the greatest and most natural action the heart has ever done and can ever do, that being, believing into one’s death on the cross with Christ…. The joy of one’s death on that cross will be discovered to be one’s greatest cause of rejoicing….. For through one’s death on the cross of Christ all things are overcome by the simple yet profound faith of only looking to Jesus…. For Jesus did die and the believing soul with Him, the faith that will grab unto this truth is a faith that will free one from all things… Be blessed in growing in the faith that frees one from all things….. A fellow grower in this faith, Not me
  7. Scripture says ‘let the peace of Christ rule in the heart’ in other words, if something upsets that peace, do something else…. As we listen to that peace does our peace increase….. Be blessed in being inwardly directed, a fellow believer, Not me
  8. 1 John 2:4 (NASB20) The one who says, “I have come to know Him,” and does not keep His commandments, is a liar, and the truth is not in him; ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Scripture puts forth a rather severe ultimatum with this truth; ‘if one does not, one does not’…. For regardless of what one says, or claims about oneself, if one does not, one does not…. Truth puts forth such a severe ultimatum because of this simple truth; God lives in righteousness, and can only reveal Himself to those willing to live where He lives…. There is no getting around this truth, if one would know God one must be willing to live in righteousness…. For only to the degree that one does to that degree can God reveal Himself….. One might know all scripture, be able to dissect the definition of words, be a great orator, be a great articulate-er of the letter of scripture, but scripture itself puts forth a whole different criteria, that criteria being, one needs to walk in righteousness if one is to know Him…. For knowing about God and knowing God being two totally different things, each being proved by the fruit that is brought forth…. One being that which elevates self, the other being that which elevates Christ….. For in the doing of righteousness Christ is elevated, therefore as scripture says by the doing of righteousness will He be known…. How then is one to live if one would know Him…? Scripture puts forth the only way; That being the way of faith, trusting Christ to live His life of righteousness in and through one…. Blessings as we know Him, by He, living our lives, Not me
  9. Thanks for your thoughts, as we all are blessed by the experiencing of this ‘by this’…. Unto Him, Not me
  10. @Mr. M @Know Jah @other one Blessings to all, as we search and seek into the mystery of Christ our life….. As we look to Him, blessings, Not me
  11. 1 John 2:3 (NASB20) By this we know that we have come to know Him, if we keep His commandments. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Scripture puts forth this by this as a touch stone that one can measure one’s knowing of Him; does one keep His commandments…? Seeing how all His commandments are instructions in, to, and towards righteousness, therefore to the degree one does righteousness to that degree can one know one knows Him…. For knowing Him is the all of everything in the time one has in this world, if one does not know Him all is lost that was meant to be gained…. For Jesus did die and one with Him, to the degree one enters into this truth, to that degree will one discover oneself not doing a righteousness that comes by and through oneself, but doing a righteousness that comes by and through faith in Christ Jesus…. For one keeping His commandments is a Divine act which only Christ’s life in one can accomplish… Faith in this life actually living in and through one, is the faith that will see the reality of this truth…. Oh to the knowing of Him, may His people do an increasing of righteousness so all might know an increasing of Him…. For blessings are to be discovered, to the degree one knows Him….. Unto Him be our all, Not me
  12. If it doesn’t find a place in you, ignore what I write and continue feeding your relationship with Christ and you most certainly will get your ‘well done’… Many blessings before Him, Not me
  13. Greetings; the word spiritual means that one has learned it doesn’t matter what one thinks, only what righteousness is…. Many blessings as we grow into the truth and reality of our spiritual life which is the expression-ing of righteousness Unto Him be all things, Not me
  14. Thank you, and may God’s blessings be to you also…. I think your understanding is true and correct, may we all drink deeply from this source of completely accurate wisdom…. Oh to drink deeper still from this source, many blessings, a fellow follower, Not me
  15. Many years ago I had about a six month battle with the darkness, but I knew in my innermost being that if I keep holding onto Christ by faith that sooner or later I would get the victory over it….. It was long, and drawn out and very painful, but I knew if I just held on in faith, light would emerge and the smile of God would be known… Standing with you before the Throne of Grace as you do the battle set before you… A fellow believer, Not me
  16. Very wise words; ‘the stronger our relationship, the more the Spirit of God works in, and through us’… As with all you wrote the relationship you with Christ shines through….. Oh to have this relationship the more, be so very blessed as He continues to grow Himself in you…. Many blessings, a fellow follower, Not me
  17. As your understanding of your relationship with Christ is, may you be blessed as you ‘study to show yourself approved’… As we pursue Him are we blessed…. May you be blessed in your pursuing of Him, a fellow follower, Not me
  18. It really is the heart, once its is grasped, and one discovers that faith is that that grabs, struggles still come, but one knows how to overcome all things, the joy grows according to each overcoming… May we all overcome by experience… Blessings as we pursue Him, Not me
  19. Acts 20:24 (NASB20) “But I do not consider my life of any account as dear to myself, so that I may finish my course and the ministry which I received from the Lord Jesus, to testify solemnly of the gospel of God’s grace. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Oh the freedom there is in not considering one’s life as of any account…. The freedom from all things, the freedom from the this and the that, this accounting that keeps one’s eyes on Christ….Scripture says that one has died with Christ, knowing, believing, holding onto, entering into this truth by faith is that that can accomplish this task of bringing such freedom to life in one’s life…. For our salvation in Christ is real and substantial, which once discovered is entered into by faith alone becomes that which can bring about such hope of finishing one’s course with joy…. This joy in the presence of God becomes that which drives one further into Christ which in turn drives one in deeper still, as deep calls onto deep… For this faith that believes one has died with Christ and it is no longer one that lives but Christ that lives in one, once this freedom, this life, this faith has been tasted all things of this world fall by the wayside… Trusting Christ in all things becomes the goal, the joy, the all of everything… Because He did fulfill the law concerning us by taking us to death with Him on the cross, oh the faith that sees into this truth is a blessed faith indeed…… Oh to see into this faith that so accounts one, the more, the deeper, the further, let our hearts so enter in…. Unto Him be our all, a fellow follower, Not me, Blessings….
  20. As the Spirit of Christ teaches us Himself are we blessed… May we all be abundantly blessed…. A fellow follower, Not me
  21. Thanks Debp, Thanksgiving to you too… To all those that need it, you have my permission to eat that second piece of pie (and maybe the third) Blessings to all, Not me
  22. It’s in my signature if anyone wants to know the truth of it… Blessings, Not me
  23. Hi and thanks, I’ve had a lot of comments on my name, both good and bad… I choose it because once the Lord opened up the truth to me that ‘righteousness was right and not me’ I saw that I needed to be not me…. Blessings on being a not me, Not me
  24. Thank you for your thoughts, may you be blessed in your relationship with our Lord…. A fellow follower, Not me
