From Daily Blessings....by J. C. Philpot

“You will subdue our iniquities; and will cast all our sins into the depths of the sea.” - Mic 7:19 

 
Sin subdued is the next greatest blessing to sin pardoned; and wherever God pardons sin, he subdues sin; for the same grace which saves sanctifies; the same grace which casts sin behind God’s back, puts its foot upon the corruptions of the believer, and prevents iniquity from having dominion over him.
 
The Scripture is very plain and express upon this point. “Sin shall not have dominion over you.” Why? “Because you are not under the law,” which gives sin its strength and power, “but under grace,” which is able to subdue its dominion. Nor do I believe that any child of God can ever rest satisfied except by the subduing of his sins as well as the pardoning of them. To have his unbelief, infidelity, worldly-mindedness, pride, and covetousness subdued by the grace of God, its power taken out of it, its dominion dethroned, its authority destroyed, and its strength weakened and diminished, that he may not be under the dominion of any lust, or carried away by the strength of any secret or open sin, but may walk before God in the light of his countenance, as desirous to know his will and do it—this is the desire and breathing of every one that knows sin in its guilt, filth, and power. How gracious, then, is the promise, how sweet the favor, that the Lord has promised to subdue our iniquities by the same grace as that whereby he pardons them; that, as we receive the blood of Christ to sprinkle the conscience, so we receive the grace of Christ to sanctify and renew the soul, and the strength of Christ to overcome all our inward and outward foes.

That, dear sister, is one spectacularly wonderful post. Thank you for that.

The steadfast love of the Lord never ceases, His mercies never come to an end. They are new every morning, new every morning. Great is thy faithfulness O Lord. Great is thy faithfulness. (See Lamentations 3:22-23)

1 John 1:9 If we confess our sins, He is faithful and just to forgive

us our sins and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness. 

Matthew 6:

14 “For if you forgive men their trespasses,

your heavenly Father will also forgive you. 

15 But if you do not forgive men their trespasses,

neither will your Father forgive your trespasses.

Romans 4:

7 “Blessed are those whose lawless deeds are forgiven,
And whose sins are covered;
8 Blessed is the man to whom the Lord shall not impute sin.”

The  Greek  word   -   “   ἄφεσις     -    aphesis   /  af'-es-is   “    means  literally     =    To  Fully  Pardon  -   Complete  Forgiveness,

to  fully,  completely  Pardon  as  to   Absolve,  ExonerateForgive  “   fully  give  freedom. “    and  the   truth  is,  this Greek word   -  ἄφεσις     -    aphesis  -     is only used   17   total  times  in  the  entire manuscripts  of  the  N.T.

yet,  we  notice  in  the  K.J.V   translation  the  word  forgive  is  used   69   total  times 

and we notice  in  the  Catholic  D.R.B.  translation  the  word  forgive  is  used   62   total  times

 

forgive   _____   28  times,    K.J.V    /    26    times  Catholic  D.R.B.

forgiven   _____       24   K.J.V   times,    /    25   times,   Catholic  D.R.B.

forgiveth   _____       1    K.J.V   times,    /    1   times,   Catholic  D.R.B.

----------------------------

=   ____     69  total times  -    K.J.V         /      62   total times    -  Catholic  D.R.B.

 

In the Greek manuscripts    -   “   ἄφεσις     -    aphesis   /  af'-es-is   “     is only used   17   total  times, the question is why and what does this mean in context and what are the other Greek words used that the translators are using      -     as     “   forgive  “  ?

Here are  the   17   total times this Greek word   -  ἄφεσις     -    aphesis  -     is used in the manuscripts,

Mat 26:28       my blood of the new testament, ….. is shed for many,   for the    “    ἄφεσις  \  forgivness   “     of sins; 

Mar 1:4      John preached……..  baptism of repentance for the    “    ἄφεσις  \  forgivness   “     of sins; 

Mar 3:29    blaspheme the  Spirit  Of  The  Holy  never has  “   ἄφεσις  \  forgivness   “     in danger of eternal damnation: 

Luk 1:77    Jesus gives……….  knowledge of salvation ……… by the    “    ἄφεσις  \  forgivness   “     of  their  sins; 

Luk 3:3     {  John the Baptist  }   ……… preaching the baptism of repentance for the    “    ἄφεσις  \  forgivness   “     of sins; 

Luk 4:18    to preach    “   ἄφεσις  \  forgivness  “   to the captives   -    to set at   “    ἄφεσις  \  forgivness   “    the  broken 

Luk 24:47      ……. repentance  and “    ἄφεσις  \  forgivness   “     of sins should be preached in his name

Act 2:38   Repent, and be baptized ……in the name of Jesus Christ for the    “    ἄφεσις  \  forgivness   “     of sins;   

Act 5:31    Jesus  .    ……  Saviour, for to give repentance to Israel, and   “    ἄφεσις  \  forgivness   “  of sins. 

Act 10:43  whosoever believeth in him shall receive “    ἄφεσις  \  forgivness   “ of sins.

 Act 13:38     { Jesus  }   ……. this man is preached unto you the “    ἄφεσις  \  forgivness   “ of sins: 

Act 26:18     that they may receive “    ἄφεσις  \  forgivness   “     of sins;  and inheritance ….. sanctified by faith that is in me. 

Eph 1:7    In whom we have redemption through his blood, the “    ἄφεσις  \  forgivness   “     of sins

Col 1:14    {  in  Jesus  }  we have  redemption through his blood, even the “    ἄφεσις  \  forgivness   “     of sins. 

Heb 9:22     and without shedding of blood is no “    ἄφεσις  \  forgivness   “     of sins;  

Heb 10:18  Now where “    ἄφεσις  \  forgivness   “     of sins;  of these is, there is no more offering for sin. 

 

The answer is   -     in fact,  there is never again any other mentioning whatsoever a mention nor a  usage of this Greek word in the New Testament manuscripts  that  are  - applying the Forgiveness,  Pardon  -  as to  fully  and  completely  Pardon  as  to   Absolve,  ExonerateForgive……  outside  of  these  verses  using  the  Greek  word     “    ἄφεσις  \  forgivness    “     17   total  times 

And all of these passages are   ONLY  -  ONLY   centered around Gods shed blood and the work of God through repentance and the repentant  sinner  existing in the state and status of a  sinner whom  is   receiving  salvation by faith in His word .

 This Greek word  never, ever  -    never  APPLIES  nor  APPEARS  in the manuscripts  - under any other circumstances in all of the approXimately   other  50  verses where we see the word   “  forgiveness  “   in  the  translations

After we repent and receive the baptism of the Holy Spirit  we receive FORGIVENESS,  PARDONING,  ABSOLVING,  EXONERATION   of   sins.      God whom has already fully  forgiven  and  pardoned,  PARDONING  our sins,  this pardon and forgiveness was already done 2000 years ago on the cross by shedding his blood.

  It is  ONLY  in this context that this Greek word is used and  ALSO  in  the  applied  anointing  to  the context of the  broken and repentant  sinner believing as a sinner in repentance  and  receiving  the  “    ἄφεσις  \  forgivness   “ of sins that was already given and completed  2000  years ago on the cross by the blood sacrifice……

That this pardon and forgiveness was already done  2000  years ago by shedding of blood on the cross,  once we receive this knowledge and repent we are  ….. sanctified by faith in his offering of salvation and receive “    ἄφεσις  \  forgivness   “ of sins. Then another Greek word is used that is the Greek word

 

Χαρίζομαι   -   charizomai    -    meaning =     To grant as a favor, that is, gratuitously, in kindness, pardon or rescue: - deliver, (frankly) forgive, (freely) give, grant

Χαρίζομαι -    This Greek word  “   forgive  “  in the Bible -     is never ever applied to God forgiving mankind but is only applied to mankind receiving from other mankind -  ------      forgiveness as  -    mankind  to  mankind  -    not from God

ἀφίημι -    aphiēmi   -    meaning =       To send forth  -   away ,  lay  aside,  leave,  let  alone,  be gone,  put away.    yield up   sin

God has already Pardoned and Forgiven,  Absolved,  Exonerated   “    ἄφεσις   - aphesis   \  forgivness   “  of sins.

AFTER WE REPENT   -  WE ASK THAT GOD WILL 

 “   ἀφίημι -    aphiēmi   “   our  sins    -    meaning =       To  send  away  our sins  to give us strength to   -  lay  aside,  leave,  let   alone  and  be gone  and   put away  and    yield up  our  sin  that he has already  forgiven / pardoned  2000  years ago  that we receive by repenting, baptism and receiving the gift of the Spirit of the Holy by the Anointing Jesus

This    “    ἄφεσις  \ - aphesis     forgivness   “     Forgiveness and Pardon was already done  Completed  one time 2000  years ago by shedding of blood on the cross

Heb 10:17      And their sins and iniquities will I remember no more. 

 :18     Now where    “    ἄφεσις  \  forgivness   “     of sins;  of these is, there is no more offering for sin.

1 Pet 5:10

“But the God of all grace, who hath called us unto his eternal glory by Christ Jesus, after that ye have suffered a while, make you perfect, stablish, strengthen, settle you.”

One can depend on this verse

    • You are coming up higher in this season – above the assignments of character assassination and verbal arrows sent to manage you, contain you, and derail your purpose. Where you have had your dreams and sleep robbed, as well as your peace and clarity robbed – leaving you feeling foggy, confused, and heavy – God is, right now, bringing freedom back -- now you will clearly see the smoke and mirrors that were set to distract you and you will disengage.

      Right now God is declaring a "no access zone" around you, and your enemies will no longer have any entry point into your life. Oil is being poured over you to restore the years that the locust ate and give you back your passion. This is where you will feel a fresh roar begin to erupt from your inner being, and a call to leave the trenches behind and begin your odyssey in your Christ calling moving you to bear fruit that remains as you minister to and disciple others into their Christ identity.

      This is where you leave the trenches and scale the mountain to fight from a different place, from victory, from peace, and from rest. Now watch as God leads you up higher above all the noise, above all the chaos, and shows you where you have been seated all along with Him in heavenly places where you are UNTOUCHABLE. This is where you leave the soul fight, and the mind battle, and learn to fight differently.

      You will know how to live like an eagle and lead others to the same place of safety and protection that God led you to, which broke you out of the silent prison you were in. Put your war boots on and get ready to fight back! Refuse to lay down -- get out of bed and rebuke what is coming at you. Remember where you are seated and live from that place.

      Acts 1:8 - “But you will receive power when the Holy Spirit has come upon you, and you will be my witnesses … to the end of the earth.”

    • Understanding the Enemy!

      I thought I write about the flip side of a topic, and how to recognize the attempts of the enemy to destroy lives and how you can walk in His victory!

      For the Apostle Paul taught us not to be ignorant of enemy's tactics and strategies.

      2 Corinthians 2:112  Lest Satan should get an advantage of us: for we are not ignorant of his devices. 

      So often, we can learn lessons by learning and playing "devil's" advocate.  When we read this passage,

      Mar 3:26  And if Satan rise up against himself, and be divided, he cannot stand, but hath an end. 
      Mar 3:27  No man can enter into a strong man's house, and spoil his goods, except he will first bind the strongman; and then he will spoil his house. 

      Here we learn a lesson that in order to plunder one's house you must first BIND up the strongman.  While we realize in this particular passage this is referring to God binding up the strongman (Satan) and this is how Satan's house is plundered.  But if you carefully analyze the enemy -- you realize that he uses the same tactics on us!  Your house cannot be plundered -- unless you are first bound.   And then Satan can plunder your house!

    • Abraham and Issac: Pictures of the Resurrection, Part 2
      Shalom everyone,

      As we continue this series the next obvious sign of the resurrection in the Old Testament is the sign of Isaac and Abraham.

      Gen 22:1  After these things God tested Abraham and said to him, "Abraham!" And he said, "Here I am."
      Gen 22:2  He said, "Take your son, your only son Isaac, whom you love, and go to the land of Moriah, and offer him there as a burnt offering on one of the mountains of which I shall tell you."

      So God "tests" Abraham and as a perfect picture of the coming sacrifice of God's only begotten Son (Yeshua - Jesus) God instructs Issac to go and sacrifice his son, Issac.  Where does he say to offer him?  On Moriah -- the exact location of the Temple Mount.
