Matthew 11:12 (NKJV) “And from the days of John the Baptist until now the kingdom of heaven suffers violence, and the violent take it by force. Be blessed in taking Heaven by force…. As scripture says in another place; the suffering of the present will not compare to the glory…. Oh to know the glory, blessings, Not me

I had to chuckle reading your post, if my windshield could speak I’d be in trouble… And no I don’t think it’s disrespectful to vent to Jesus as long as it’s honest venting…. Blessings in your discussion/venting with Him, Not me

Romans 6:1-2 (NASB20) What shall we say then? Are we to continue in sin so that grace may increase? Far from it! How shall we who died to sin still live in it? ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ In these words are put forth the emphatic-ness of our not continuing in sin, and also the reason for it… For the Christian faith is meant to, and is for the setting one free from sin… The how of this, the understanding of this, the doing of this has perplexed the honest and well meaning heart of the believing soul even to the point of tears…. Which though painful, is still not enough, for one needs to come to the point of being willing to die.… Meaning that one needs to come to the point of being willing to give up all of one’s life onto death, then grab onto Christ’s death by faith and make His death that one’s death…. For this, is the Christian faith that sets one free from sin…. This faith, that is contrary to all human reasonings says; ‘I have been crucified with Christ; it is no longer I but Christ’…. This faith, this truth believed, this truth laid hold of when the storms of life come, will be that faith that overcomes all that is laid before this faith….. Which seems ludicrous to the human mind, but this is the faith of Paul, this is why Paul was accused of preaching a gospel of ‘let us do evil that good may come’, because those not willing to embrace this faith could not understand this faith, henceforth the accusation…. For the Christian is saved stem to stern by faith, rich or poor, young or old, all are saved and set free from sin by the exact same faith…. It is embracing this faith and to the degree of this embracing will the fruit of the new life given in Christ Jesus be experienced…. Oh to the experiencing of this new life the more, blessings, Not me

@Neighbor It is heartbreaking, all I can say is scripture says to, ‘occupy till I come’, so to Him do we look that we might be found doing His will….. Blessings and prayers, Not me

Hebrews 11:25b (NASB20) ………………………………..enjoy the temporary pleasures of sin, ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Why does scripture say the pleasures of sin are temporary…? It is because evil is only pleasurable as it misuses the good…. Once the evil and the good have been separated by the final judgement and each goes to its own place evil/sin will only have itself to feed upon and then will discover what itself is…. That being a restless desire after it knows not what, unfulfilled and incapable of being satisfied and incapable of being brought out of its own state, thereby eternally being a torment to itself… For God does not punish as if He is hurt or needs a recompense in some way…. But His punishments or that which is called His punishments is a leaving each to the qualities that one has embraced…. For when one misuses the good to bring forth evil that one damages oneself, for God is incapable of being damaged or change, He forever remains a will to all goodness, for that is what He is in Himself, the good or bad actions of any created thing changes Him not, only the creature blesses or damages itself…. For at the final judgment when the fruit of having used or misused the good is made manifest, blessings and honor to one, horror and distress to the other…. Be blessed in the fruit of the choices one makes, let them be to the embracing of the quality of being dead in Christ, whereby all the good is embraced.. A fellow follower, Not me

As our desire of Him is, will our growth in Him be….. Oh, to have a heart that would be all His, blessings, Not me

John 3:7 (NASB20) “Do not be amazed that I said to you, ‘You must be born again.’ ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ The instruction comes that one is to ‘not be amazed’ at how salvation is to come…. For when one recognizes one’s fallen state, the necessity is seen, that salvation must come by way of something other than by oneself... For this something other, which does invoke one’s amazement, it being a birth of the Life of God in one’s soul…… This birth of life that is to be had is a real birth of something that was not alive in one before…. But this new something which will be discovered to be the actual life of Christ one has no hand in but the desiring of it, but the desiring of it is the gate keeper, for one can have it only to the degree one desires it… Though God is ever ready to grow His life in one, one’s will must want it… For that which comes from God is Spirit and Life, henceforth that which comes from God is true, real and eternal…. For God can only make Himself known and transmit Himself to the creature as He is, as He is Life, life must therefore be transferred….. For this new life is a eternal spiritual birth that is forever giving life to itself in newer and deeper ways….. For this life of the Life of God in one is to be experienced forever as one’s highest joy… For this is how Christ is formed in one, by this Life of life giving life to itself, the joy of which only gets deeper as the more of this life is grown.… For the desire of the soul turned towards God will do all in one one could possibly hope or dream if one will but have the patience and faith to wait on God for the growing of it in one’s life…. For God has no other name the the Helper of him that would be helped, the Filler of him that would be filled, the Savior of him that would be saved, the Deliverer of him that would be delivered, if one will but want it, then expect and desire all from God alone and have the faith to wait before Him for Him to grow it in one’s life…. But just how is this life manifested in one…? That would be obedience to the expressions of righteousness, for righteousness in total is the expression of His life, for only His Life can bring the qualities of His Life to life…. For Jesus did die that He might bring righteousness to life in all those that would be willing to not be amazed… Be blessed in, with, and by that which amazes, as it is brought forth as the living power of one’s life, in, through, and by the desire towards it…. A fellow desire-er, Not me

Matthew 5:3a & 4a (NASB20) Blessed are the poor in spirit, ….. Blessed are they that mourn,…… ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ But why ,,,, what is this being poor in spirit and what is this mourning that a blessing is being spoken upon…..? For one being poor in spirit and being a mourner, has nothing to do with what one has or has not in this world, but it does have everything to do with what one, is, in this world….. For the mourning that is to be blessed, is the mourning that is caused when one sees one’s fallen state….. For when one sees one’s fallen state and realizes that one has no power in oneself, that one is totally incapable of coming out of their fallen state by any strength of themselves…. Then as one realizes this truth, one becomes poor in spirit and one mourns, it is this mourning that is the mourning that will be blessed, then the blessing of the comforting comes in as the voice of one’s Savior is heard knocking on the door of one’s heart, if one responds, then all of the other ‘be blessed’ becomes one’s by experience…. For one’s mourning over what one is, causes one to hunger and thirst after the cure, the doing of righteousness being that cure, and then that hunger produces in one all the ‘be blessed’s’… For all the ‘be blessed’s’ are the fruit of the doings of righteousness in one form of expression or another… Then the fruit of that expression comes in which is the rejoicing, which comes in according to the growth of the expression of righteousness….. Then as the fruit of that expression is experienced that experiencing becomes so very tangible as it becomes one’s new life as one learns to live in faith before one’s Savior….. For as a woman who gives birth the pain is forgotten over the joy of a new life and so are the struggles that grow righteousness in the new life in those that by faith find it….. Be blessed in the finding of the fruit of that mourning, a fellow follower, Not me

Psalm 119:160 (NASB20) The sum of Your word is truth, And every one of Your righteous judgments is everlasting. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ‘The sum of Your word is truth’, this truth puts all other truths in their proper perspective, for one truth cannot be separated from the qualities put forth in other truths, case in point; The ‘turn the other cheek’ and ‘give your shirt to him that would take your cloak’ truth, does not mean this truth is separated and stands above others…. It does mean, this quality is to be joined with the other qualities of His righteous judgments, meaning that you personally absorb all the wrong you can…. For this is the sum of His righteous judgments, that you absorb all the wrong you can and stand in righteousness with someone else that would be wronged…. For this is the temper of defending the widows and orphans and those to weak to defend themselves…. For one is to stand in righteousness against unrighteousness wherever unrighteousness is to be found…. For the sum of His truths and the qualities they bring forth will lead one to stand in righteousness against unrighteousness, for one must stand up for righteousness if one would know God….. For one quality is as necessary as the next quality for the expressing of righteousness…. For it is not sin to defend with force the one that would initiate violence against you, if after, as scripture says, you did your uttermost to ‘live at peace with all men as much as is within you’…. The end result being, you absorb what you can and then stand strong in righteousness against the unrighteousness…… For as scripture says; ‘he that is of the flesh persecutes him that is of the Spirit as it is this day’, for so it will always be, for he that is of the flesh, that is one controlled by self-will is always against the one who is after the Spirit… For he that is trusting Christ to live His life in and through does by faith initiate the qualities of the sum of His righteous judgments, which is peace to the righteous one, and judgment to the unrighteous….. Be blessed in experiencing the sum of His righteous judgments and the tempers which they bring forth….. For all the qualities of God are good, reasonable and life giving, when joined together, being for the sole purpose of bringing forth the fruit of righteousness…… A fellow follower of His, Not me

Romans 12:10 (KJV) [Be] kindly affectioned one to another with brotherly love; in honour preferring one another; ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ What truth is being put forth with the words, ‘in honor preferring one another’…… With the added words ‘in honor’ they are meant to put the preferring that is to be done in its proper context by adding something to this preferring….. It puts this preferring as something more than just letting someone have their will.… For ‘in honor’ means, ‘in view of that which is right’ or, still in other words, ‘standing strong in righteousness against unrighteousness wherever it might be found’…… For two things a believer is not, one is, one is not someone else’s savior and two, one is not someone else’s meal ticket…..But one is there to help another do right, for one can not do right for another, for each man stands or falls by one’s own doing of right.... For ‘in honor’ means standing in the gap for another to Christ but not to take the place of Christ…. For standing in righteousness to another is the greatest work, it itself being the greatest act of love one is capable of to another…. For until righteousness is sought after for its own sake, God’s will is not being done… For God’s will is always the righteous thing, the righteous thing being the only thing that will truly help another…. For only Christ truly being formed in another is helping another and since this work can not be done by man’s hand ‘in honor’ is meant to portray standing before Christ for the benefit of another… Directing another to Christ that Christ Himself might work His work in another… As painful and as hard it is to see another struggle one must let another struggle before Christ so that one might learn and grow and come to the realization that only in the doing of righteousness will God’s presence be found… To the increase of His presence in our lives, Not me

Hello, if I might put forth my thoughts for consideration; I hold true that regarding the election of grace consists totally in the new birth or lack of…. Those at the time of departure that are not in possession of the new birth and only in possession of the fallen birth they are predestined for destruction, because it is fallen nature that is predestined to destruction as the new birth is predestined to glory…. My thoughts may you be blessed in yours, Not me

Romans 6:11 (NASB20) So you too, consider yourselves to be dead to sin, but alive to God in Christ Jesus. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Scripture reads; “dead to sin”, it does not read that “sin is dead” but that one is dead to it…. This is the understanding that leads to victory and walking in newness of life that every renewed life longs for… For consider; if one were to die right this instant and Mr. Sin would come by and say “come on get up let’s go and sin” the dead man would be incapable of responding because they were dead…. This is the faith that believes one has died and their life is hidden with Christ in God…. This is the faith that says “I can not get up and follow the sin that is still alive in me because when Christ died I died”….. This is the faith that will see in very short order the law being fulfilled in one but not by one… For he that has died is freed from sin, these are not just high and lofty words but a truth of infinite value; “he that has died is freed from sin”….. For the one that believes into their death in Christ is as dead as Christ was, he also was raised up to a new life as much as Christ was…. The question being will one be so willing to enter into their death that Christ might live His life in and through that one…? Then the confession; “what is that to a dead man, I follow Jesus” will become the most freeing and glorious confession because all the blessings of the new life are found therein… Be blessed in the confession of faith that frees….. A follower of His, Not me

Hi, and yes, but if I might even push this a little farther, it is when one is willing to die to cease from sin that deliverance from sin will be found… For this is what Christ did for us, He took all of us to death with Him on the cross that He might put to death the us that is willing to enter into the sin that is alive in the body….. For sin and the desire to sin that is in the body stays very much alive, but we have been put to death in Christ which frees us from having to obey the dictates of the sin that remains alive in the body… Yes one must truly want to be freed from sin, but even more one must be willing to enter into their death rather then sin, to experience the freedom for which Christ came to give….. And blessings, while you pursue Him….. A fellow follower, Not me

Our deaths in Christ gets rid of self, this is what Christ came to deliver us from, our very own ‘self’s’ By faith do we grab unto what Christ did, thereby receiving the fruit of His great gift… Oh to the receiving of the gift, Not me

God’s salvation is equal to all, God’s calling might be different for the building up of the body, but deliverance and the call to perfection are the same to all…. I hold true that the lowest of calling can have just as high an intimate relationship with Christ as the greatest of calling… For the calling’s are God’s purview, one’s relationship is what one would have… For the size of the container matters not, only the purity of the product in…. Oh to the purity of the product, blessings, Not me

Hello and greetings, if I might put forth the thought; Deliverance from sin and becoming a slave of righteousness is the Gospel salvation, to not experience it is leaving something on the table that should not be left… Scripture puts forth this truth; ‘he that has died is freed from sin’, This truth and the understanding of it is the way of deliverance out of sin…. For when someone dies they are freed from all the influences of this world, such is what our salvation in Christ consists of; we have died and our lives are hidden with Christ in God…. For all of the receiving of what Christ did for us on the cross is received by faith, it is faith that sees it is no longer I that live but Christ that lives in me…. But this Christ that lives in one will not be experienced as a living reality until one freely with an act of their will chooses to enter into their death in Christ as a constant thing by faith…. For when one sees and is brought to the place where they see that only by their actual death will they ever actually stop sinning, then this glorious truth pushes, forces one in glorious expectation to grab onto by faith their being joined with Christ in both His death and resurrection… Their death being that thing that brings deliverance from sin, being joined with Him in His resurrection being that thing that makes one a slave to righteousness…. For it is the degree of entering into this truth that will be one’s growing in Christ to be a perfect man, one that lives by faith in Christ living His life in and through…. May we all enter into and experience this truth in a new and wonderful way to the Glory of our great God and Savior who took us both to death and resurrection with Himself, that whosoever would would be able to receive a new life and walk in it…. For Christ waits to give, to any and all that will approach Him by faith; for deliverance from sin and to be made a slave of righteousness…. Thanks for reading, and may God bless if there be any truth in these words, and may you be blessed into your search into the answer your heart longs for…. Unto Him be our all, a fellow brother in Christ and a servant of His, Not me
