  • “Get Over Yourself”

    “Get Over Yourself”

    God transfers to me:

    “Why are you so proud to think of yourself as above anyone else, especially my Angelic beings? 
    
    You are just as much a prideful sinner as Lucifer yet you are dying in and living for the very thing that limits you: 
    
    Your flesh.
    
    Who is the least? 
    
    The one who lost the most. 
    
    What did you lose? 
    
    An eternity in Hell where your flesh was taking you. 
    
    You lost nothing of any value.
    
    You only gained.
    
    What right have you to think you can judge an angel from any place of authority? 
    
    Lucifer is unholy and pure darkness yet I placed him above you in order to refine you.
    
    Do you see yourself as above any being? 
    
    Get over yourself My child, I have."
  • Who Is The Founder & Perfector Of Your Faith?


    “…. Looking to Jesus, THE FOUNDER AND PERFECTER OF OUR FAITH, who for the joy that was set before Him endured the cross, despising the shame, and is seated at the right hand of the throne of God.”

    Hebrews 12:2

    FOUNDER:
    n. ( faith) establisher, (faith) mounter
    n. The one who begins (faith); the one who writes (faith), the one from whom all (faith) comes.

    Jesus lays the groundwork. Jesus IS the groundwork. He establishes and forms our faith, He initiates and originates our Faith. He has complete domination over our level of faith.

    It is clear that His sovereignty reigns; it is not up to us to achieve salvation, nor are we deserving of it, not even through our own belief. If someone claims that they can secure and sustain faith solely of their own volition, they are not telling the truth.

    He has the reigns. Jesus alone by the Will of The Father decrees Faith,
    He, in His predestining Will chooses who will be established in Himself and, as many men reject, who is His enemy.

    “For by Grace, you have been saved through FAITH. And this is NOT YOUR OWN DOING; IT IS THE GIFT OF GOD, NOT A RESULT OF WORKS, so that no one may boast. For WE ARE HIS WORKMANSHIP, created in Christ Jesus for good works, which GOD PREPARED BEFOREHAND, that we should walk in them.”

    Eph.2:8-10
    WORKMANSHIP:
    n. To manufacture (His people); invent; meticulously design (His Faithful), producer with intellectual depth & skill, especially by manual labor.
    n. That which is effected;  (The power to produce an outcome, full forced execution; operativeness), made or produced

    We are His Workmanship.

    He executes, He operates, He develops, and He produces His people’s Faith by the Power of His Grace.
    We don’t execute, operate, develop or produce, our own Faith.

    The Grace we receive ISN’T because of anything we do (no matter how significant), nor because of anything we say (no matter how righteous), or anything we think.
    We receive His Grace through His Sovereign Faith (not our free will “faith”); We can only be saved by the perfect Faith of Jesus Christ that can only save us by His Grace.

    AGAIN… We have righteousness through Faith. Whose Faith? Jesus’ Faith.

    ALL have sinned and fall short, but we are justified by Faith through HIS GRACE AS A GIFT… FREE GIFT.

    FAITH IS A GIFT. Therefore, we don’t work for it or at it; there’s only ONE, Christ Jesus, and He alone is able to give Faith to whom the Father chose already, He alone Saves, He follows the Will of His Father.

    No human can manipulate, control,  command, demand, or alter what has been established before the earth’s foundation. No human can interfere with the Book of Life.

    … the righteousness of God through faith in Jesus Christ for all who believe. For there is no distinction: for all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God, and are JUSTIFIED BY HIS GRACE AS A GIFT, through the redemption that is in Christ Jesus.

    Romans 3:22‭-‬24
  • Become Like A Child

    Become Like A Child

    Truly, I say to you, whoever does not receive the kingdom of God like a child shall not enter it.”

    Mark 10:15, Luke 18:17

    MEANING

    This statement is a response to his disciples who were trying to prevent children from coming to him.

    Jesus rebukes them and says that the kingdom of God belongs to such as these, and that whoever does not receive the kingdom of God like a child will not enter it.

    The profoundness of this assertion lies in the characteristics of children that Jesus is referring to.

    Children are often seen as innocent, trusting, and dependent.

    They have a simple faith and are not burdened by the doubts and cynicism that can come with age and experience. They are also humble and teachable, willing to learn and receive guidance from older and wiser people.

    Jesus says that to enter the kingdom of God, we must approach it with the same childlike qualities of innocence, trust, humility, and teachability.

    We must come to God with a simple faith, not relying on our knowledge or understanding but trusting in God’s wisdom and guidance. We must be humble, recognizing that we are not self-sufficient but dependent on God. And we must be teachable, willing to learn from God, and those who are wiser and more experienced in the ways of God.

    This is the kind of faith that opens the door to the kingdom of God and allows us to enter into a relationship with God that is marked by love, joy, and peace.

    JESUS SAYS THAT WE WILL NOT ENTER THE KINGDOM OF HEAVEN UNLESS WE BECOME LIKE A CHILD.

    Whoever exalts himself will be humbled, and whoever humbles himself will be exalted.

    Matthew 23:12

    Jesus lays the groundwork. Jesus IS the groundwork. He establishes and forms our faith, He initiates and originates our Faith. He has complete domination over our level of faith.

    The Truth of His sovereignty is evident; we do not establish ourselves, we cannot establish ourselves, and we are not worthy to establish ourselves, not even with our own faith. If anyone claims to have the ability to establish and maintain saving faith by the power of their own will, they are a liar.

    He has the reigns. Jesus alone by the Will of The Father decrees Faith,
    He, in His predestining Will chooses who will be established in Himself and, as many men reject, who is His enemy.

    “For by Grace, you have been saved through FAITH. And this is NOT YOUR OWN DOING; IT IS THE GIFT OF GOD, NOT A RESULT OF WORKS, so that no one may boast. For WE ARE HIS WORKMANSHIP, created in Christ Jesus for good works, which GOD PREPARED BEFOREHAND, that we should walk in them.”

  • The Spirit of God isn’t Shown In or To The Flesh

    The Spirit of God isn’t Shown In or To The Flesh

    When God, the Creator, made a decree for His chosen (and inadequate) elect to be saved at the appointed time from the wages of their flesh by God’s righteous mercy.

    Unveiling the Invisible

    Perceiving Beyond Human Sight

    When the Orchestrator of every planet, star, organism, feeling, thought and emotion decided for you to see the things the eyes can never see, then we indisputably know, no matter what any human tries to claim, unfazed by any assertions used by mere vessels of souls to renounce what God did, or whatever passive aggression they use to resist the works of God, we laugh away their ego-driven, inferior attitude because truth (God) fears no scrutiny.

    In our physical existence, we recognize that we are God’s chosen ones. Salvation becomes undeniable and comprehensible when we realize that our soul was once enslaved to the mind and desires of the body.

    You, as an individual who doesn’t simply receive information like your physical brain does, but rather you embrace the information as it is sent by the Spirit. You are your soul – the essence within you that acknowledges “my body,” “my brain,” and collectively, “our feelings,” “our thoughts,” “our beliefs,” and so on.

    Because we deeply understand our own true selves, we realize that our essence cannot be defined by anything material or confined within the boundaries of this limited realm. We went from loving our own senses, but they immediately oppose and hate one another the moment God’s Spirit enters into the flesh. His Spirit takes captive not the flesh, which is but dying meat, whose end is to rot.

    A body is flesh, therefore the soul was a slave to the flesh, unable to save itself. His Spirit takes captive the soul within the flesh, preserving it until that day every single believer of God’s Word looks forward to with excitement. We know the body will never be faithful to the spirit. (It makes no sense for eternal beings to remain, we don’t desire everything the flesh reaps.)

  • Become Like A Child

    Truly, I say to you, whoever does not receive the kingdom of God like a child shall not enter it.”

    Mark 10:15, Luke 18:17

    Jesus says that we will not enter the kingdom of Heaven unless we become like a child.

    Whoever exalts himself will be humbled, and whoever humbles himself will be exalted.

    Matthew 23:12
  • Who Has All Authority?

    As adopted heirs according to the Promise of our Messiah we are humbled by the certainty of our Salvation being from God’s Grace & nothing else, not even human choice… Not even our own choice.

    And if children, then heirs (namely, heirs of God and also fellow heirs with Christ)—if indeed we suffer with him so we may also be glorified with him.

    Romans 8:17

    God is the Potter & His Creation is His clay… The Lord does ALL that He pleases.

    I, being the clay in my Potter’s hands, have no authority over how my Potter establishes & constructs me.

    I am guilty of my sinful actions, thoughts & nature. In my flesh I disgust a Holy God, this is exactly why a Savior is required for reconciliation.

    He patterns His clay according to the pattern He devises in His Mind. His Thoughts are what generate, cultivate, and produce what we humans comprehend as reality.

    Outside of the Mind of God, there is NOTHING.

    Material reality is a shadow of Spiritual reality, the Spiritual Realm reigns as sovereign over ALL material, not the other way around.

    I recognize that I’m just as wicked-natured, crooked, and filled with as much iniquity as the next person & the only reason I am Saved from the wages of my flesh is by His Grace, His Faith, His Decision, His Ordination, His Predetermination, and His Council, all such is derived from His perfect Mind…

    We are the clay being formed into His masterpiece, depending solely on Him, the Potter. We are vessels. A vessel depends on its Operator, not itself.

    My value, of my own volition, is not higher or lesser than any other human, of whom are made in the likeness of God but all tainted by the sin of Adam.

    God always obtains what is His & He deserves ALL Glory!

    If a believer deprives any bit of Glory to God, they are speaking a false, counterfeit Doctrine, aimed at robbing God of His Glory… Be it some Glory or all Glory; we own, control, & inhabit NO GLORY outside of Christ.

    Glory is His – ALONE.

    When we see His perfectly Righteous Wrath, God reveals to us even more that His Glory is merciful, and His Mercy endures (sustains) forever. He reveals His Glory in the ability of His Majestic Grace.

    It’s Grace because it’s unearned, it’s not a reward, it’s a pardon, and there is no cause but the Judge’s own Decision & Mercy.

    If you earned any part of the Salvation & Grace you received, it’s not Grace. & If you depend on your Salvation, I’d question myself because only God is dependable

    He lavishes His Grace and Mercy for whomever He ordains. He is an impartial Judge. He is not a respecter of persons.

    In ALL THINGS He is THE essence & foundation, commanding His declaration to be respected by Speaking that which is nothing into existence and making it something. He is before all things, in all things, & all things work through Him, & for Him & to Him.

    His will is perfect & a perfect will is unable to be incomplete or unfinished, meaning He accomplishes His will… & His will was written before your decision.

    To be perfect is to be exact, complete, accurate, and valid, a completed Will lacks nothing.

    Anything truly perfect needs nothing outside of its perfection. A Will that is perfect achieves & fulfills itself without any missing aspect needed…

    We are provided with the capacity to discern by His Will and Spirit. He is our illumination in the fog. The Spirit illuminates what materiality darkens.

    He determines to lift the veil from the eyes of all that See (in His Spirit) -we are developed beyond the shadow, no longer limited to the diagram, but we are integrated with the Substance.

    We have the Holy Spirit. We are rescued from the death we deserve, we earned Hell, by the power of the flesh.

    We are purchased by our Creator into Life, saved from our flesh’s reward, we don’t deserve to be saved, we have no merit, etc not even a little bit

    But thanks to God we who See are completely Free; only by the Power of the Holy Spirit… Without such, we’re only Tares presuming we are Wheat, but like a flower, we have no substance and we die out.

  • Understanding God’s Sovereignty: The Potter and the Clay

    Understanding God’s Sovereignty: The Potter and the Clay

    In light of our belief as inheritors of the Promise bestowed upon us by the Messiah, we humbly acknowledge the unquestionable certainty of our Salvation, which originates solely from the boundless grace of God. It is important to emphasize that this divine favor extends beyond any human volition, including the choices we make for ourselves.

    And if children, then heirs (namely, heirs of God and also fellow heirs with Christ)—if indeed we suffer with him so we may also be glorified with him.

    Romans 8:17

    Introduction

    crop potter with clay in hands

    In this article, we will delve into the profound concept of God’s sovereignty, symbolized by the relationship between a Potter and the Clay. We will explore the implications of this analogy and unravel the key principles that shape our understanding of God’s role in our lives.

    Embracing Our Sinful Nature

    As the clay in the Potter’s hands, we must acknowledge our inherent sinful nature. Our thoughts, actions, and very being fall short of divine perfection. It is through this acknowledgment that we realize our desperate need for a Savior to bridge the gap between our flawed selves and a holy God.

    “for all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God” (Romans 3:23)

    The Potter’s Divine Plan

    God, as the Potter, shapes us according to His perfect plan. Our existence and reality are a reflection of His thoughts and creativity. This understanding humbles us and highlights the supremacy of the spiritual realm over the material world.

    “But now, O Lord, you are our Father; we are the clay, and you are our potter; we are all the work of your hand.” (Isaiah 64:8)

    Recognizing God’s Sovereignty

    Our value and worth are entirely dependent on God, the Potter. Any attempt to claim glory for ourselves only serves to distort the truth. We must recognize that salvation and grace come solely from Him, regardless of our own efforts or merits.

    “But who are you, O man, to answer back to God? Will what is molded say to its molder, ‘Why have you made me like this?’” (Romans 9:20)

    Unraveling God’s Perfect Will

    God’s will is flawless and complete. It encompasses everything and leaves nothing lacking. His divine plan transcends our limited understanding and is accomplished in His own timing and purpose. We can find solace in the assurance that His will prevails and nothing can hinder its fulfillment.

    “The counsel of the LORD stands forever, the plans of his heart to all generations.” (Psalm 33:11)

    Discerning Through the Holy Spirit

    The Holy Spirit guides and illuminates us, allowing us to discern truth amidst the fog of worldly distractions.

    We are no longer limited to the surface-level understanding of material existence, but instead, integrated with the spiritual substance that brings clarity and purpose.

    “When the Spirit of truth comes, he will guide you into all the truth, for he will not speak on his own authority, but whatever he hears he will speak, and he will declare to you the things that are to come.” (John 16:13)

    Embracing the Gift of Salvation

    Through God’s mercy, we are rescued from the consequences of our sinful nature. We are purchased into life by our Creator, utterly undeserving of such grace. Our salvation is solely a result of the power of the Holy Spirit, not our own achievements or worthiness.

    “For by grace you have been saved through faith. And this is not your own doing; it is the gift of God.” (Ephesians 2:8)

    Conclusion

    Understanding God’s sovereignty through the analogy of the Potter and the Clay offers profound insights into the nature of our existence and God’s role in shaping our lives.

    Embracing this perspective allows us to fully recognize and honor His supremacy, finding comfort in His unfailing love and guidance. May we humbly submit ourselves to the Potter’s hand and live out our purpose in alignment with His perfect will.

    suave

    Remember, it is in surrendering to God’s sovereignty that we find true fulfillment and experience the depth of His grace and mercy.

  • Humans Can’t Help But Exalt Their Own Will (Simultaneously Denying That They Do)

    Exhalt

    Humans are attached to the assurance of their own free will. I have discerned that when we only place our active trust in ourselves & our own opinions, we can only trust what we experience with our five senses. 

    As it is written in Proverbs 3:5-6, "Trust in the Lord with all your heart and lean not on your understanding; in all your ways submit to him, and he will make your paths straight." 
    Our reliance on our free will and limited senses can lead us astray, but when we trust in the Lord and submit to His will, He will guide us on the right path.

    As it says in Isaiah 55:8-9, "For my thoughts are not your thoughts, neither are your ways my ways... As the heavens are higher than the earth, so are my ways higher than your ways and my thoughts than your thoughts."
    Let us not be bound by our understanding but instead seek the wisdom and guidance of the Lord.

    There are some who strongly believe that we have the ability to determine our own will and choices, as this seems evident based on our personal experiences. However, it is important to approach differing viewpoints with respect and understanding, rather than resorting to ridicule or mockery. While some may feel that certain religious leaders or teachings hold more weight than others, it is also important to seek guidance from multiple sources and to carefully consider the guidance of the Holy Spirit in interpreting scripture.

    The popular argument is:

    ‘humans do respond to God & response is derived from the will, therefore man’s will.”

    Free will is limited by God’s will, and our decisions are part of his divine plan, so following his direction leads us on the right path.

    As it is written in Philippians 2:13, "For it is God who works in you to will and to act in order to fulfill his good purpose." 

    Therefore, let us humble ourselves before the Lord and seek His guidance in all our decisions, knowing that He is the one who ultimately directs our paths.

    Proverbs 3:5-6 reminds us, "Trust in the Lord with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding; in all your ways submit to him, and he will make your paths straight."

    Man, without the Holy Spirit pastoring him through Scriptures believes the opposite of the Truth. We can only be truly free IN CHRIST.

    But then we are not free in our will but in His Will.

    Scripture tells us that there’s no freedom in any works of the flesh…

    “For freedom Christ has set us free; stand firm therefore, and do not submit again to a yoke of slavery.”

    – Galatians 5:1

    HIS WILL! NOT MINE! LORD! ❤️

  • Humans Can’t Help But Exalt Their Own Will (Simultaneously Denying That They Do)

    Exhalt

    Humans are attached to the assurance of their own free will. I have discerned that when we only place our active trust in ourselves & our own opinions then we can only trust what we experience with our 5 senses. 

    Our senses tell us that it’s beyond obvious that we are free to will as we determine and any opposition to this Doctrine ought to be ridiculed and mocked because we believe what Pastors and mere mortal men tell us, many forsaking the Holy Spirit of God, the One Who guides man DIRECTLY through Scripture.

    Because we can’t sense the Will of God through human perceptions, we laugh at the thought.

    The popular argument is that ‘humans do respond to God & response is derived from the will, therefore man’s will.”

    Of course responding, acting, choosing, and deciding appears to a man (who’s biggest enemy is truly himself & his Pride) as his own free will, but the truth is: he can only respond because God makes him willing first, and then when God opens man’s spiritual ears and eyes to Hear and See, God changes his heart, so then, the man can believe freely or willingly.

    Freely in who? Or Freely from who?

    Man surely is not free in himself.  Nor is a man who’s in Christ have a will free from Christ.

    Man, without the Holy Spirit pastoring him through Scriptures believes the opposite of the Truth. We can only be truly free IN CHRIST. But then we are not free in our will but in His.

    Scripture tells us that there’s no freedom in any works of the flesh…

    HIS WILL! NOT MINE! LORD! ❤️
