You are the light that illuminates our paths and the strength that empowers us to fulfill our potential. In your grace, we find hope and purpose.

  • Be careful (Intuition)

    I can feel the suffering and anguish occurring in the human heart, it is occurring at an inconceivable level,  NOW-

    The SPIRITS of betrayal, deception, backbiting, envy, hate, resentment, fear, anxiety, terror, abuse, torture, and murder are entering the Collective Consciousness of Humanity.

    It’s an evil as old as Time and has survived in the concealment of darkness, until now. The LIGHT IS here with an abrupt explosion of exposure, revealing information that discloses many millennium’s worth of wicked depravity, in what has been, the blink of an eye.

    The systems of influence and rulership over this old world are devising every tactic and implementing every snare attainable to impose a state of uproar, emotionalism, paranoia, and self-righteousness, making us cold and distant towards one another, ourselves, and our Creator.

    Love, Truth, Discernment, Calmness, Patience, Diligence, Grace, Wisdom, Righteousness, and Boldness are our weapons right now.

    They want us in a state of hatred and vengeance, but there is Eternal Power in Repentance and Steadfastness, through Faith in the Salvation of Messiah.

    The Light is here. The Truth is here.
    “I AM THE I AM”

    Those in the Light just remain vigilant and on guard…

    being exposed to the masses in massive exposures of information

    Be careful not to fall into one of the many traps laid out for you right now.

    There is its a collective Awareness going on right now…

  • Free Will & Adams sin

    Did God need to rely on the free will of Adam to DETERMINE whether He would initiate a plan of REDEMPTION for sinners or not?

    Is Adam Sovereign or God?

    All things in Heaven and on earth happen because God FOREORDAINS them to occur, He is sovereign over ALL that occurs in, under, and above the earth.

    Humans are dust. 

    There is a difference between having a “will” and having a “free will”. There’s no denying that man has a will to make choices ACCORDING TO HIS DESIRES. This is the crux, man is bound to the desires of his heart. The scriptures say that the heart is deceptively wicked above all else. 

    I, in agreement with scripture, deny that man’s will is free from confinement. Either mankind is at the will of his fallen nature or in the Will of his Savoir.
    Mankind is naturally trapped and confined by the fallen nature of depravity, thanks to the Angels rebelling, Lucifer seeking to be sitting in the seat of God, and then the woman being deceived by the Serpent causing Adam to follow his wife into becoming, as the serpent promised, like god and then being put under the dominion of Lucifer and His Angels, FREE WILL IS A DELUSION.

    This means that while humans make choices according to their ‘desires and influences’, humans CAN NOT MAKE CHOICES OUTSIDE OF THEIR FALLEN WICKED NATURE, the will to sin, NOT FREE WILL, complete bondage to sin against the will…

    Adam didn’t even have “free will” in the Garden of Eden because he was CONTROLLED BY HIS DESIRES just as we are today. Up until the Fall, Adam was fully devoted to God, and his choices were DICTATED BY THAT DEVOTION, HIS DESIRES WERE FOR GOD. Until the Knowledge of sin through the woman’s disobedience and ignorance.

    Important Note:
    We are clearly told by Paul in 1Tim. 2:14 that ADAM WAS NOT DECEIVED BUT EVE.
    Recognizing that ADAM WAS NOT DECEIVED we can speculate that Adam KNEW exactly what he was doing and the consequences. He loved the woman and DETERMINED to die with her for ADAM KNEW that was the penalty for eating the fruit of the tree God had withheld from them.

    Eve could have eaten the forbidden fruit instead of Adam and I believe nothing would have happened except that God would have likely given Adam another woman to be his ‘helpmeet’.
    Adam was the Federal Head and represented all of his posterity by the natural generation.
    *WHEN ADAM SINNED WE ALL SINNED IN HIM. It is as though we had eaten the fruit ourselves. His disobedience is what plunged us all into sin and depravity. (Not our own free will)

    But God is gracious AND IT WAS ALL ACCORDING TO HIS PURPOSE OF GRACE IN CHRIST JESUS.

    Paul says in 2 Tim. 1:9 that GRACE was given us in Christ Jesus BEFORE THE WORLD BEGAN.
    *IF ADAM HADN’T FALLEN, because he desired the woman more than he desired God, WE WOULD KNOW NOTHING OF MERCY, GRACE, AND THE LOVE OF GOD IN SENDING THE SON INTO THE WORLD TO ACCOMPLISH OUR SALVATION.

    **”God didn’t cause Adam to sin BUT GOD CERTAINLY PUT ADAM IN THE POSITION AND UNDER THE CIRCUMSTANCES THAT ENSURED THAT ADAM WOULD SIN!
    God is not the author of sin, sin, but IS THE ONE WHO DETERMINED BEFORE THE WORLD BEGAN TO GLORIFY HIMSELF IN SOVEREIGN MERCY IN CHRIST JESUS THE LORD!
    He purposed all that is needed to bring about His purpose and has been working providentially to bring it to pass exactly as He DETERMINED before the foundations of the earth.

    GOD KNEW, FROM *BEFORE THE BEGINNING, that Christ would be necessary to save fallen humanity.
    THAT shows how HUMAN DECISIONS ARE NOT FREE (including the decision to fall), and when I hear the claim “this is just God predicting what would happen”, who else but God would DETERMINE the process?

    A conception of God in which ‘He whimsy foreknows something within His creation’ but does not foreordain it — or even in which ‘He foreordains it because He foreknows it’, makes God dependent on the creature.
    GOD’S FOREKNOWLEDGE AND HIS OWN ETERNAL WILL ARE ONE AND THE SAME.
    He does NOT learn from the creature or depend on the creature for anything.

    Paul tells us:
    “For the creation was subjected to futifutility, notlingly, but because of Him who subjected it yet, in; because the creation itself also will be delivered from the bondage of corruption into the glorious liberty of the children of God. For we know that the whole creation groans and labors with birth pangs together until now…” Romans 8:20-22

    The point of this age is the glory of Christ Jesus the Lord in the salvation of chosen believers. It has always been the point of every age and the point of eternity.

    Adam was a figure of Christ to come, and Adams’s representative disobedience and subsequent death served as an ANTITHETICAL PARALLEL to the representative obedience and life of Christ.

    God works ALL THINGS (not some things) after the counsel of His own will, WHICH MUST INCLUDE THE FALL.
    ***”And He put ALL THINGS under His feet and gave Him as Head over ALL THINGS to the church, which is His body, the fullness of Him who fills ALL IN ALL.
    Ephesians 1:22‭-‬23

    “… So the honor is for you who believe, but for those who do not believe, “The stone that the builders rejected has become the cornerstone,” and “A stone of stumbling, and a rock of offense.” ***THEY STUMBLE BECAUSE THEY DISOBEY THE WORD, AS THEY WERE DESTINED TO DO.”
    1 Peter 2:7‭-‬8

    “…Christ has been appointed the HEIR OF ALL THINGS (not some things), hence ADAM’S DOMINION WAS SUBSERVIENT to the glory of Christ”
    “…For by Him ALL THINGS were created, in heaven and on earth, VISIBLE AND INVISIBLE, whether thrones or dominions or rulers or authorities—ALL THINGS were created through Him and for Him. And He is before all things, and in Him, all things hold together.”
    Colossians 1:16‭-‬17
    “…but in these last days He has spoken to us by His Son, whom He appointed the Heir of ALL THINGS, through whom also He created the world…. And, “You, Lord, laid the foundation of the earth in the beginning, and the heavens are the work of your hands;….”
    Hebrews 1:2‭, ‬10
    “…You made Him for a little while lower than the angels; You have crowned Him with glory and honor, putting EVERYTHING IN SUBJECTION UNDER HIS FEET.” Now in putting EVERYTHING in subjection to Him, **HE LEFT NOTHING OUTSIDE HIS CONTROL. At present, we do not yet see everything in subjection to Him.”
    Hebrews 2:7‭-‬8

    “…As one trespass led to condemnation for all men, so one act of righteousness leads to justification and life for all men. For as by the one man’s disobedience many were made sinners, so by the One Man’s obedience, the many will be made righteous. Now THE LAW CAME IN TO INCREASE THE TRESPASS (God gave the law), but WHERE SIN INCREASED, GRACE ABOUNDED ALL THE MORE, so that, as sin reigned in death, grace also might reign through righteousness leading to eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord.”
    Romans 5:18‭-‬21
    “…For as by a man came death, by a Man has come the resurrection of the dead. In Adam all die, so also in Christ shall all be made alive…. For “God has put ALL THINGS IN SUBJECTION UNDER HIS FEET.” But when it says, “all things are put in subjection,” it is plain that He is excepted who put ALL THINGS IN SUBJECTION UNDER HIM… When all things are subjected to him, then the Son Himself will also be subjected to Him who put all things in subjection under Him, that God may be ALL IN ALL…. Thus it is written, “The first man Adam became a living being”; the last Adam became a life-giving spirit. But IT IS NOT THE SPIRITUAL THAT IS FIRST BUT THE NATURAL, AND THEN THE SPIRITUAL. The first man was from the earth, a man of dust; the second man is from heaven. As was the man of dust, so also are those who are of the dust, and as is the man of heaven, so also are those who are of heaven. Just as we have borne the image of the man of dust, we shall also bear the image of the man of heaven.”
    1 Corinthians 15:21‭-‬22‭, ‬27‭-‬28‭, ‬45‭-‬49

    God and His story is the point of EVERYTHING.

    1. God works ALL THINGS (not some things) after the counsel of His own will, Ephesians 1, WHICH MUST INCLUDE THE FALL.
    ***”And He put ALL THINGS under His feet and gave Him as Head over ALL THINGS to the church, which is His body, the fullness of Him who fills ALL IN ALL.
    Ephesians 1:22‭-‬23

    2. Christ has been appointed the HEIR OF ALL THINGS (not some things), hence ADAM’S DOMINION WAS SUBSERVIENT to the glory of Christ
    -For by Him ALL THINGS were created, in heaven and on earth, VISIBLE AND INVISIBLE, whether thrones or dominions or rulers or authorities—ALL THINGS were created through Him and for Him. And He is before all things, and in Him all things hold together.
    Colossians 1:16‭-‬17
    -but in these last days He has spoken to us by His Son, whom He appointed the Heir of ALL THINGS, through whom also He created the world…. And, “You, Lord, laid the foundation of the earth in the beginning, and the heavens are the work of your hands;….
    Hebrews 1:2‭, ‬10
    -You made Him for a little while lower than the angels; You have crowned Him with glory and honor, putting EVERYTHING IN SUBJECTION UNDER HIS FEET.” Now in putting EVERYTHING in subjection to Him, **HE LEFT NOTHING OUTSIDE HIS CONTROL. At present, we do not yet see everything in subjection to Him.
    Hebrews 2:7‭-‬8

    3. Adam was a figure of Christ to come, and his representative disobedience and subsequent death served as an ANTITHETICAL PARALLEL to the representative obedience and life of Christ, Rom. 5; 1 Cor. 15.

    -As one trespass led to condemnation for all men, so one act of righteousness leads to justification and life for all men. For as by the one man’s disobedience many were made sinners, so by the One Man’s obedience the many will be made righteous. Now THE LAW CAME IN TO INCREASE THE TRESPASS (God gave the law), but WHERE SIN INCREASED, GRACE ABOUNDED ALL THE MORE, so that, as sin reigned in death, grace also might reign through righteousness leading to eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord.
    Romans 5:18‭-‬21

    For as by a man came death, by a Man has come the resurrection of the dead. In Adam all die, so also in Christ shall all be made alive. For “God has put ALL THINGS IN SUBJECTION UNDER HIS FEET.” But when it says, “all things are put in subjection,” it is plain that He is excepted who put ALL THINGS IN SUBJECTION UNDER HIM. When all things are subjected to him, then the Son Himself will also be subjected to Him who put all things in subjection under Him, that God may be ALL IN ALL…. Thus it is written, “The first man Adam became a living being”; the last Adam became a life-giving spirit. But IT IS NOT THE SPIRITUAL THAT IS FIRST BUT THE NATURAL, AND THEN THE SPIRITUAL. The first man was from the earth, a man of dust; the second man is from heaven. As was the man of dust, so also are those who are of the dust, and as is the man of heaven, so also are those who are of heaven. Just as we have borne the image of the man of dust, we shall also bear the image of the man of heaven.
    1 Corinthians 15:21‭-‬22‭, ‬27‭-‬28‭, ‬45‭-‬49

    4. Christ, the lamb without blemish and without spot, was FOREKNOWN BEFORE THE FOUNDATION OF THE WORLD, entailing that the sin for which He became a sacrifice must have been a foregone conclusion.
    -He was foreknown before the foundation of the world but was made manifest in the last times for the sake of you
    1 Peter 1:20

    5. God predetermined not only the death of Christ but also the instrumentality of wicked hands, Acts 2, 4.

    Sixthly, God subjected the creature to vanity in expectation of its deliverance from bondage at the manifestation of the glorious liberty of the children of God who have been predestined to be conformed to the image of His Son, Rom. 8. Seventhly, those who stumble at the word of Christ, being disobedient, were appointed thereunto, 1 Pet. 2.

    These are facts of biblical revelation, there should be no doubt that the Scriptures explicitly teach the fore-ordination of the fall.

  • Faith is From God

    The faith we have doesn’t belong to us & we we do not gain grace through Faith by our own free will.  

    Jesus is the Founder and Perfector of our Faith, He’s not just the Perfector but THE *FOUNDER)…

    What does that mean?

    *FOUNDER Biblically Defined is as follows:
    n. One that FOUNDS ESTABLISHES and erects…
    n. One who BEGINS; an author; one from whom anything originates.

    Therefore, Jesus founds, establishes, builds, initiates, and originates our Faith. (He has complete control of our level of Faith)

    This Truth of His sovereignty is evident; we don’t establish ourselves, we can’t establish ourselves, AND we are unworthy of establishing ourselves. We don’t manage the Faith we have in the Truth of God, He does.

    Jesus alone by the Will of The Father Wills our Faith, He decides who will be established in Him, according to His preordained Books.

    Hebrews 12:2
    “…. 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.”

    The following verse also clearly asserts that God PREPARED US BEFOREHAND TO HAVE FAITH, and HE WILLED US to be HIS WORKMANSHIP. (Not free will)

    Eph.2:8-10
    “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.”

    *What is the Biblical definition of WORKMANSHIP?

    n. Manufacture; meticulously design, is created with thought & skill, particularly 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, operates, designs, and produces His people’s Faith by the Power of His Grace.
    We don’t execute, produce, etc. our own Faith.

    The Grace we receive ISN’T because of anything we do (no matter how great), say (no matter how righteous), or 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.

    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 isn’t our own doing; I can’t have more faith by the power of belief, mind, or intention; it is a GIFT, and I can’t do it.

    What is a GIFT?

    A present; anything given, the property (which is faith) VOLUNTARILY TRANSFERRED by one person (Jesus Christ) to another (you and i) WITHOUT COMPENSATION; A DONATION.

    FAITH IS A GIFT.

    Therefore, we don’t work for it or work at it; there’s only ONE, Christ Jesus, and He alone chooses who receives Faith, He alone Saves, He alone 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; only God can change The Book of Remberence.

    … 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

    If the slain Lamb (Jesus Christ) is the only one worthy to open the Scrolls in the last days, How can a person think that a human can determine their fate through free will?

    If you believe or have been taught that you’ve earned Grace through works, sewing a seed to a Church of Wolves, or that Grace is received through your ACTS OF GOOD DEEDS, and your Faith is contingent on your works. Whatever your works may be they are FUTILE in and of themselves (whether expecting an increase after paying tithes, or believing that the desires of your heart will always be granted by God), if you believe God needs you to help Him attain His Will, If you blame believers lack of faith on their physical health decline, if you judge appearances, but condone slander and gossip, if you believe attending Church is enough to go to heaven, if you trust your pastor to interpret the Bible for you, if you hate admitting to your sin nature because you believe God doesn’t need repentance. If you lie to people, yet at the same time demand others are honest with you.

    Or to say your Faith is futile and is without Grace, according to the scriptures.

    Written by Camille Russo

  • Jesus is our Faith

    God absolutely does assign us faith ‘according to the measure that God has assigned’.

    “For by the grace given to me I say to everyone among you not to think of himself more highly than he ought to think, but to think with sober judgment, ††EACH ACCORDING TO THE MEASURE OF FAITH THAT GOD HAS ASSIGNED.” Romans 12:3

    “… formerly I was a blasphemer, persecutor, and insolent opponent. But I received mercy because I had acted ignorantly in unbelief, & the grace of our Lord overflowed for me with the ††faith and love that are IN Christ Jesus. “. 1 Timothy 1:13–14

    *Grace overflows for us WITH faith & love.
    We don’t receive grace because of our Faith, we receive Faith because of HIS Grace.

    “Faith is the assurance of things hoped for, the conviction of things not seen.”. Hebrews 11:1

    **How do we have assurance, how do we have conviction?  Only through the Spirit of God! We can’t muster up assurance, nor can we muster up conviction apart from God. He is our Faith.

    That’s why the apostles said to the Lord, “Increase our faith!” Luke 17:5

    They didn’t muster up faith for themselves, God gives Faith.

  • Treasure in Heaven

    Photo by Deepak Ramesha on Pexels.com

    “Do not lay up for yourselves treasures on earth, where moth and rust destroy, thieves break in and steal, but lay up for yourselves treasures in heaven, where neither moth nor rust destroys and where thieves do not break in and steal. For where your treasure is, there your heart will be also…


    “The eye is the lamp of the body. So, if your eye is healthy, your whole body will be full of light, but if your eye is bad, your whole body will be full of darkness. If then the light in you is darkness, how great is the darkness!
    “No one can serve two masters, for either he will hate the one and love the other, or he will be devoted to the one and despise the other. You cannot serve God and money.
    Matthew 6:19‭-‬24

    To understand we must read the texts proceeding and following the central passage being investigated.

    We lay our treasures success, & glory in Heaven with Heavenly, imperishable things, where our treasures are invincible indestructible, & imperishable.

    Jesus says His words are Spiritual, we don’t see merely physical existence, we realize & act as if the biological, physical & material are nothing more than a shadow illustrating the Truth and Reality of the Spiritual & Eternal infinite…

    The Spiritual Heavenly realm is where we abide in Spirit continually, awaiting our flesh to eventually succumb to nature, freeing us from it’s sinful members & elements.

    What we treasure; hold dear, protect & feel sentimental towards is where our heart is.

    Our Heart is revealed by our desires & our passions.

    ✝Matthew 6:19
    “….Do not lay up for yourselves treasures (grk: Thēsaurós; Treasured thoughts in mind or heart) on earth, where moth and rust destroy (symbolizing the decay of the temporal physical realm) & where thieves don’t break in and steal (symbolizing the fallen nature, fallibility and sin of man’s heart) …”

    “…but lay up for yourselves TREASURES (grk: Thésauros: precious thoughts in mind & heart) in HEAVEN (eternity, Gods realm; parallel dimension outside of the physical laws of time, space, dimension…, unseen with the physical eye, nor understood with the human mind, because the physical is merely a shadow or form of the Spiritual Substance), where neither moth nor rust destroys and where thieves do not break in and steal (Heaven is perfect, whole, complete & incorruptible…. “

    So…..

    -“The eye (grk; optanomai: vision, sight/ minds eye) is the LAMP (grk; illuminator) of the BODY (grk: ‘soma’; physical or mystical body, flesh or Body of Christ.)”-

    Our Eye is a lamp that illuminates the body.

    Our physical body is declared a temple of the Holy Spirit & we are the seperated members of the Spiritual body/ Bride of Christ.

    With Eyes that see we illuminate the unadulterated Truth of our Spiritual bodies; through the physical .

    Light doesn’t sugarcoat shit.

    A lamp’s purpose is to give light in the darkness, our eye is meant to SEE through the Dark; lamps are useless in the LIGHT.

    So our EYE gives Light (illumination) through the darkness, our Eye illuminates all it looks at, or through.

    A lamp is only needed where there is darkness, a lamp is worthless in the Light.

    “…if your Eye is HEALTHY (grk: ‘haplous’; simple, sound, perfect, whole) your whole (entire) body will be FULL OF LIGHT (grk; phóteinos: bright; describing revelation/revealing Nature of light), …”

    Jesus said those with EYES can SEE,
    What kind of EYES?
    Spiritual Eyes… Holy Eyes, singular Eyes…

    (Jesus tells us that His Words are Spirit & the flesh is of no profit at all),
    Spiritual EYES shine light (revealing Truth& illuminating the secret places that are hidden) in the darkness, revealing the Absolute Truth.

    These EYES SEE what the blind cannot because the blind cannot even see that they are in the darkness, and their eye is unhealthy (incomplete, perplexed, plural), they are not Lamps, therefore they can’t SEE, they only assume, it’s all they can do.

    “….but if your eye is bad (grk; ponéros: evil or grievous; diseased: neglectful/abandoned, careless), your whole body (entire being/ Mystical Body, Body of Christ) will be full of darkness (grk: skoteinos; dark: moral, intellectual darkness, unenlightened, ignorant) ….”

    If our Eye (Vision, Minds Eye) is Evil and careless our mystical body and part in the Body of Christ will be intellectually and morally blacked out, blinded.

    “….If then the light (grk:phós; source of light, radiance) in you is darkness (grk: skotos; the power of darkness- Soul loses all perceptive power), how great is the darkness (Obscurity: becoming unknown, forgotten, drown out by the density of darkness; insignificant & eternally lost in the Sightless plight”

    Those with EYES can SEE because the EYES that Jesus speaks of are Spiritual eyes, the physical cannot comprehend this.  The EYE provides LIGHT for the body (the whole mystical body, wisdom, Truth)… Who is the Light? None other than Jesus Christ is the Light. Jesus alone gives us sight, He alone opens the eyes of the blind.

    Then directly after this passage, Jesus says:

    “…. No one can serve two masters (grk: kurios; owner: a person of Authority in which the servant follows & serves the Masters interest- consciously or subconsciously we ALL follow one of 2 masters (God YHWH OR Satan, temporary god of the earth), for either he will hate the one and love the other, or he will be devoted to the one and despise the other.

    To follow Christ we MUST die to ourselves, crucify the desires of the flesh with Him, take up our Cross and follow Him, if we follow the desires of the flesh, seek after the interests of our own pleasure and feel no war between the Sin nature and the Spirit warring in our members (our bodies) then we are not God’s. God chastises those who He loves, if we aren’t chastised by God we aren’t children of God.

    “…..You cannot serve God (grk: theos: Creator) and money (grk: mamónas: riches, possessions, property)….”

    The love of riches, possession and physical Property is the Root, Source and Core of ALL evil.

    The Eye is Spiritual, we have the Holy Spirit, and we are His Temple to dwell in, He gives us not only Grace, Faith, Salvation, Hope, and Joy BUT He gives us Light, Vision, Truth, & many Fruits; He also gives us the conviction to keep the temple tidy for Him.

    Jesus is The Way, Truth & Life.
    Jesus is also the Light of The World, He died to set us free from the reward of the flesh, in so doing He showed us that the physical realm is nothing more than a metaphor or shadow outlining the True Spiritual Reality. The veil was torn.

    And this is the judgment: the light has come into the world, and people loved the darkness rather than the light because their works were evil. For everyone who does wicked things hates the light and does not come to the light, lest his works should be exposed. But whoever does what is true comes to the light, so that it may be clearly seen that his works have been carried out in God.”

    John 3:19‭-‬21
    The Light lives in us whom God chooses to put His Light in & Vision is directly from God.

  • Gods Unlimited Sovereignty

    Gods Unlimited Sovereignty

    God’s Sovereignty is unlimited, because He Himself is limitless.

    He foreknew & Predestined ALL THINGS for His Purposes & His Glory so that  all things, good and bad would be subject to His Power & Authority.

    All things, in Heaven and on earth are donated (provided, given to us) so we could utilize these gifts by the Will of God.

    To assume that the physical is independent of the Spiritual & to believe some things are not actually in God’s Will, striping Him of His Majesty and Power.

    God has complete sovereignty over His entire creation & He has already purposed every future action & deed to accomplish his end goal.
    He puts all things in order, He is Order, & He purposes disorder (chaos) to accomplish His plan.

    Those He foreknew He predestined to be conformed to the image of His Son, in order that He might be the firstborn among many brothers. Those He predestined He also called, those whom He called He also justified, and those whom He justified He also glorified.

    Romans 8:29‭-‬30

    God’s sovereignty is clearly defined in Colossians 1. It says:

    “Jesus is the image of the invisible God, firstborn of creation. By him ALL THINGS were created, in heaven & on earth, visible & invisible, whether thrones or dominions or rulers or authorities— ALL things were created THROUGH HIM and FOR HIM. He is before all things, and in Him all things hold together.”

    Colossians 1:15‭-‬17

    Absolutely NOTHING is outside of His complete control, even our very faith He appoints.

    “For by the Grace given to me I say to everyone do not think himself more highly than he ought to think, think with sober judgment, EACH ONE ACCORDING TO THE MEASURE OF FAITH THAT GOD HAS ASSIGNED.”

    Romans 12:3
    God is so precisely sovereign that He assigns what measure of Faith His people will have.

    By Grace, He assigns us WITH His Faith according to His Sovereign Will.
    We don’t receive Grace because of our own Faith, we receive Faith because of HIS Grace. All things begin & end with Him…

    Let us run with endurance the race that is set before us, looking to Jesus, who is the FOUNDER and PERFECTER OF OUR FAITH, and is seated at the right hand of the throne of God.”

    Hebrews 12:1‭-‬2

    “ALL that the Father gives Me WILL COME TO ME & whoever comes to Me I will NEVER cast out.

    Jesus

    Can a human’s will override the Will of the Almighty God? ABSOLUTELY NOT.

    We receive God’s Mercy on account of our disobedience,

    without our disobediance we wouldn’t receive His Mercy, & He wouldn’t be so highly glorified in giving us Mercy…
    God literally consigns (charges) us to disobedience so that He can have Mercy on us.

    Scripture proves this when Paul says: “Just as you were at one time disobedient to God but now have received mercy BECAUSE OF THEIR DISOBEDIENCE, SO THEY NOW HAVE BEEN DISOBEDIENT so that by THE Mercy SHOWN TO YOU THEY ALSO MAY NOW RECEIVE Mercy. For GOD HAS CONSIGNED ALL TO DISOBEDIENCE, so that He may have Mercy on all…..

    Oh, the depth of the riches & wisdom & knowledge of God! How unsearchable are His judgments & how MYSTERIOUS are His ways.
    -Romans 11:30‭-‬33

    “… formerly I was a blasphemer, persecutor, & insolent opponent. But I RECEIVED MERCY because I had acted ignorantly in unbelief & the Grace of our Lord overflowed for me with THE FAITH & LOVE THAT ARE IN Christ Jesus. “
    -1 Timothy 1:13–14

    “Faith is the ASSURANCE of things Hoped for, the conviction (evidence) of things NOT SEEN.”
    -Hebrews 11:1

    How do we have assurance? How do we have conviction/evidence of Faith? 
    Only through the Spirit of God who Works in the unseen realm!
    Jesus is our Faith.
    That’s why the apostles asked the Lord to directly: “Increase our faith!” (God gives Faith)
    -Luke 17:5.

    Jesus is the Founder & Perfector of 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

    “Such is the confidence that we have through Christ toward God. NOT that we are SUFFICIENT IN OURSELVES TO CLAIM ANYTHING as COMING FROM US, but our SUFFICIENCY IS FROM God…”
    -2 Corinthians 3:4‭-‬5

    HE FORMS LIGHT AND DARK

    Isaiah 45:7; God says that He is: “The One who forms light and also creating darkness, causing well-being and also creating calamity; I am the Lord who does all these.”  He doesn’t just say that He merely allows darkness & calamity, He says He creates it Himself.

    I Chronicle 29:11 tells us that God is sovereign over everything that is in the heavens and the earth, and that He exalts Himself as head over ALL, with might in His hand to make great and to strengthen everyone that He pleases to strengthen. “

    God even sinlessly uses sin for the praise of His own glory.
    Paul makes a Truth statement: “From Him & through Him & to Him are ALL things,”.. Therefore God willed sin to completely demonstrate the perfection of ALL His attributes, in order that: “to Him [would] be Glory forever” -Romans 11:36.

    Isaiah 45:7 says God says He is: “The One forming light and also creating darkness, causing well-being and also creating calamity; I am the Lord who does all these.”  He doesn’t just say that He merely allows darkness & calamity, He says He creates it Himself.

    Isaiah 31:2 teaches that God is wise and brings forth disaster, and does not ever retract his words.” As His words create All things. 

    Isaiah 47:11 says that “God Himself brings about evil and disaster upon the unrepentant, & Amos 3:6 declares that when calamity occurs in a city, the Lord is the one to have done it. 

    Psalm 33:10,11 tell us that “The Lord nullifies the counsel of the nations; He frustrates the plans of the peoples.”
    Proving that people have belief in their own freewill but the people’s will are immediately nullified at the only One with a true free will,  which is the sovereign God.

    We receive God’s Mercy on account of our disobedience, without our disobedience we wouldn’t receive His Mercy, & He wouldn’t be so highly glorified in giving us Mercy…
    God literally consigns (charges) us to disobedience so that He can have Mercy on us. Scripture proves this when Paul says:

    “Just as you were at one time disobedient to God but now have received mercy BECAUSE OF THEIR DISOBEDIENCE, SO THEY NOW HAVE BEEN DISOBEDIENT IN ORDER THAT by THE Mercy SHOWN TO YOU THEY ALSO MAY NOW RECEIVE Mercy. ¡For GOD HAS CONSIGNED ALL TO DISOBEDIENCE¡, so that He may have Mercy on all…..
    Oh, the depth of the riches & wisdom & knowledge of God! How unsearchable are His judgments & how MYSTERIOUS are His ways!~~~
    -Romans 11:30‭-‬33

    He ordained beforehand the actions of men. He sovereignly planned every outcome, paved every step,  and calculated every second of everything whether physical or spiritual. 

    He gave authority to Pilate to judge the Son (John 19:11); he raises up adversaries against his chosen ones (Exodus 4:21; I Kings 11:14-23) and ordained the actions of evil men by the predetermined plan and foreknowledge of God that they would nail Christ to the cross (Acts 2:23).
    Yet in all this God is not the author of sin, but rather he has ordained evil through secondary causes so that his divine purposes may prevail and glorify his name (Genesis 50:20). 

    The sovereignty of God completely encompasses the righteousness that men do, as well as the evil.

    He does this in a way that we cannot fully understand because when we think of being a sovereign individual,  we don’t have any personal experience of being actually sovereign and being able to do whatever we want, whenever we want to whoever wants… Sovereignty has no limits. Sovereign humans are limited in Sovereignty because we are but an image of God.

    God has ordained that evil is for the glory of his Name, & He has full dominion over the elements of evil men as well. No matter the evil, no matter how Heinous, God has a purpose and a reason for it.
    This does not alleviate wicked people from their moral responsibility, but rather further condemns them, as they are willing actors in their evil plans, & since God is no respecter of persons, this makes even more sense. 

    Sin is evil, abominable, corrupt & detestable, & in direct opposition to God.
    Nevertheless, the very creation of sin is good, not the sin itself but the tool it became ti be used for the Glory of God.
    God would not have willed it into being if it didn’t serve Him.
    I’ll prove that Scripture affirms both God’s Will for sin & man’s responsibility for sin.


    †SCRIPTURE: When Peter preached a sermon on Pentecost, he convicted the people of Jerusalem of their sin against Jesus their Savior..


    Peter: “This Jesus . . . you crucified & killed by the hands of lawless men” -Acts 2:23

    Killing Jesus was a sin, the sin was committed by Pilate, Roman soldiers, priests, & religious leaders who cried for Jesus’s crucifixion. Then mocked God’s Son in His torment.

    Peter, after calling our the wickedness of their sin, he validates the FULL SOVEREIGNTY of God over ALL these wicked & sinful events;

    He says: “… Jesus of Nazareth, a Man attested to you by God with mighty works & wonders & signs that God did through Him in your midst… —★ JESUS, DELIVERED UP ACCORDING TO THE PREDETERMINED PLAN & FOREKNOWLEDGE OF GOD, you crucified & killed by the hands of lawless men.” -Acts 2:22‭-‬23

    God not only knew that His Son would be tortured, mocked, & slain, but it was according to His PREDETERMINED & ETERNAL PLAN for God, in ORDER that these events took place. ” …putting an end to the agony of death, since it was impossible for Him to be held in its power.” -Acts 2:24

    It’s such an marvelous & heartening attribute  to grasp. .
    God chose to save His people because they were sinners, saved through the blood of His Son….
    As a display of SOVEREIGN MERCY.
    So that we would be converted from sin & washed by His Will through His Atoning blood & in being washed, God is GLORIFIED in His Son.
    God is even Glorified now in the Power that His Grace provides.. He is a Glory for enabling us not to sin & I’m turn He’s glorified even more.

    The paradox of sin’s origin enables us, who are in Christ, to be able to perceive & discern with Divine transparency God’s amazing Love & Mercy in His Son… “to the praise of His glorious Grace” (Eph 1:6).

    A voice from heaven declared to Nebuchadnezzar:
    “… sovereignty has been REMOVED from you, & you will be driven away from mankind, & your dwelling place will be with the beasts of the field.
    You will be given grass to eat like cattle, & SEVEN PERIODS OF TIME WILL PASS OVER YOU
    ***UNTIL YOU RECOGNIZE THAT THE MOST HIGH IS  RULER OVER THERE REALM OF MANKIND  BESTOWED IT ON *WHOMEVER He WISHES. ‘***
    Immediately, The Word concerning Nebuchadnezzar was FULFILLED; (Gods Will completely anniahlated his will.)
    & he was driven away from mankind & began eating grass like cattle, & his body was drenched with the dew of heaven until his hair had grown like eagles’ feathers and his nails like birds’ claws.
    Daniel 4:31‭-‬33

    How did He get out of Gods punishment? Was it his choice, is there any implication of choice here? Nope.

    “But at the end of that period, I, Nebuchadnezzar, raised my eyes toward heaven (He looked (Saw) to Heaven)
    & my reason returned to me, and I blessed the Most High & praised & honored Him who lives forever;
    For His DOMINION is an EVERLASTING DOMINION,
    & His kingdom endures from generation to generation.
    ALL the INHABITANTS of the earth are ACCOUNTED AS NOTHING…
    But He DOES ACCORDING TO HIS WILL IN THE HOST OF HEAVEN & AMONG THE INHABITANTS OF EARTH;
    & NO ONE CAN WARD OFF His HAND..
    Or say to Him, ‘What have You done?’
    At that time my reason returned to me. And my majesty and splendor were restored to me for the glory of my kingdom, and my counselors and my nobles began seeking me out; so I was reestablished in my sovereignty, and surpassing greatness was added to me. Now I, Nebuchadnezzar, praise, exalt and honor the King of heaven, for all His works are true and His ways just, and He is able to humble those who walk in pride.”
    Daniel 4:34‭-‬37

    To the praise of His glorious grace, with which He has blessed us in the Beloved..
    IN HIM WE HAVE REDEMPTION through His blood…
    the forgiveness of our trespasses, ACCORDING to the riches of His Grace, which he lavished upon us…
    in ALL WISDOM & INSIGHT…
    Making KNOWN TO US THE MYSTERY OF HIS WILL…
    according to His Purpose, which He SET FORTH in Christ as a plan for the fullness of time…
    to unite all things in Him, things in heaven & things on earth.
    Ephesians 1:6‭-‬10

  • We Are Sinners, Saved by God from God…

    We are saved by Jesus from being eternal slaves to sin, which is a part of the penalty of that sin… being a slave to it.

    Prior to the instant of salvation, we are bound to, & love our own sin, we don’t feel the sting that we inescapably experience after Salvation.

    If we feel no sting after engaging in sin, it’s improbable that we are truly saved, because the Holy Spirit is the One that transmits that sting through us, in whom He inhabits.

    We can’t cease sinning entirely so long as we are physically alive in this perishing flesh.

    as Paul said, “if we say we have no sin, the truth is not in us & we make God a liar.”

    We are guaranteed our Eternal Inheritance with Him if we are truly His.

    “& you were dead in trespasses & sins… following the course of this world, following the prince of the power of the air, the spirit that is now at work in the sons of disobedience, among whom WE ALL once lived in the passions of our flesh, carrying out the desires of the body & the mind, & were BY NATURE CHILDREN OF WRATH, like the rest of mankind. But God, being rich in mercy, because of the great love with which He loved us, even when we were dead in our trespasses, made us alive together with Christ—by Grace you have been saved— & raised us up with Him & seated us with Him in the Heavenly places in Christ Jesus…”

    Ephesians 2:1‭-‬6

    We are also saved by God from the wrath of God & eternal death & damnation.

    “Since, therefore, we have now been justified by His blood, much more shall we be saved by Him from the wrath of God.”

    Romans 5:9

  • Jesus’ Death Atoned Perfectly For His Sheep

    Jesus said: “I am the good shepherd: the good shepherd giveth his life for the sheep” (John 10:11).

    By this word Jesus teaches that He gives His life in the place of His people as a substitute for them.

    He also says: “…I lay down my life for the sheep” (John 10:15).

    His death is a personal substitutionary atonement, not a general provision for all men.

    Jesus lays down His life as a sacrifice for certain persons who are His sheep, not for the goats.

    Jesus teaches that He did not die for all men, head for head, but for His people out of the world.

    Therefore Jesus does not say that He gives His life a ransom for sin generally, but that He came “to give his life a ransom for many,” (Matt. 20:28, Mark 10:45).

    His life given upon the cross is the ransom for those for whom He died. They are many, but not all men, head for head.

    Jesus’ death accomplished the actual, complete salvation and deliverance of those for whom He died. Jesus teaches a definite atonement for sin in His blood, not a mere possibility or provision.

    His blood cannot fail to save His sheep. The power of Christ and His cross never fails to save His people. Jesus saved and therefore also saves!

    As it is written, “For by one offering he hath perfected for ever them that are sanctified,” Heb. 10:14.

    He accomplished a finished redemption in the cross.

    Therefore Jesus speaks of Himself as the bread of life.

    As He said, “… and the bread that I will give is my flesh, which I will give for the life of the world,” (John 6:51).

    By this He teaches that His death is the only source of spiritual life and salvation just as bread sustains our earthly life when we eat it.

    That world for which He gave His life is fed by faith in Him with everlasting life.

    It is a world that is surely saved, for He says, “Verily, verily, I say unto you, He that believeth on me hath everlasting life,” (John 6:47).

    Jesus does not teach that He provides everlasting life for the world of all men, head for head, but that He is everlasting life unto the world of them who are united to Him by faith.

    His death is a true sacrifice.

    It saved, ransomed, and delivered those for whom He died, and He now gives eternal life through faith unto them as His sheep.

    As He said, “My sheep hear my voice and I know them, and they follow me and I give unto them eternal life…” (John 10:27, 28).

    This was God’s design as Jesus said, “As thou hast given him power over all flesh, that he should give eternal life to as many as thou hast given him,” John 17:2.

    Jesus teaches that He accomplished a finished salvation and a personal substitutionary atonement for those for whom He died.

    Jesus teaches a definite limited atonement, a particular redemption, not a universal indefinite provision, not a mere possibility to become a personal Saviour, if you will only let Him.

    He gives eternal life to His sheep.

    Jesus teaches that He “knows his sheep,” and not that He must engage in an investigative judgment to find out who they are.

    Do you believe in this Jesus of the Scriptures, Who knows His own, and dies for them?

    There is a false christ of man’s invention who dies not knowing his own, a maybe saviour, a mere provider, who waits on man to make him truly a savior.

    Do you believe in the Jesus Who genuinely saves?
