Living By Faith

In the beginning The Word spoke the creation into existence, this physical creation serves God’s purpose as a platform for man in God recreating Himself.

From the dust of the earth man was formed and came to life by the very breath of God. Mans creation in this earthly realm serves God’s design for mankind’s ultimate destiny and to God’s Glory.

Man is designed to live by Faith, for its only by Faith that man can see the ever present yet unseen God.

It’s only by Faith that man encounters God and in and through Faith man begins to relate to God, for its only by Faith that man can please God.

Just as the Word spoke creation into existence, its mans destiny to be established in The Word, by Faith. For Faith comes from hearing The Word of God. Hearing The Word and moving by Faith in obedience unto The Word is how Faith becomes established within ones being.

It’s by Faith that man enters the realm of God, and is eternally established within The Word of God, by Faith.

 

The Destiny of Mankind

David spent time out under the stars, tending to his flock and experiencing the Creation, in this setting God was speaking to David in preparation for what was ahead in David’s future.

As David enters this process of relating to God it’s by the Spirit of God that David sees beyond the seen, yet knows that the creation reveals God.

“O LORD, our Lord, How majestic is Your name in all the earth, Who have displayed Your splendor above the heavens!

From the mouth of infants and nursing babes You have established strength Because of Your adversaries, To make the enemy and the revengeful cease.

When I consider Your heavens, the work of Your fingers, The moon and the stars, which You have ordained; What is man that You take thought of him, And the son of man that You care for him?

Yet You have made him a little lower than God, And You crown him with glory and majesty!

You make him to rule over the works of Your hands; You have put all things under his feet, All sheep and oxen, And also the beasts of the field, The birds of the heavens and the fish of the sea, Whatever passes through the paths of the seas.

O LORD, our Lord, How majestic is Your name in all the earth!”

In this unique experience David was granted the ability to see beyond the earthly realm and understands that God has formed man for a destiny beyond mans finite existence, a destiny that only God can bring man into, and one that God will indeed bring all of mankind into, all by the workmanship of the very hands of The One True Creator God.

Amen!

 

The Creation Speaks

The creation speaks of The Creator and the intricacies of God’s creative power, in this man can begin to see beyond what man can know, that God’s display of power is beyond mans ability to comprehend.

As man observes the display its through the veil of obscurity for the invisible attributes of God cannot be discerned by mans finite mind, for God’s ways are profoundly higher and magnificent than mans reasoning mind can comprehend.

In this man begins to see the creation as a shadow of God’s attributes and Nature, all for the purpose of man relating to God. For God is Spirit and only as man awakens unto God by Gods workmanship can man begin to see the unseen God.

God had designed man to become something beyond mans ability to understand or accomplish, this designed intent is for man to become like God in Spirit and Truth. For man to be established within God and His Word.

Heaven and earth will pass yet God’s Word is eternal therefore man will be established within that which is eternal, all to the Praise and Glory of The One True Creator God.

 

Eye Has Not Seen…

What has entered the heart of man is the result of mans experience within the reasoning man uses to evaluate this experience.

From this man forms opinions, belief systems, rationale, and dogmatic positions regarding life and it’s meaning or the lack thereof. All of which are from man’s reasoning mind.

God in His Sovereignty allows man the latitude to form these assumptions, yet in the wisdom of God they all are counted as vanity, dust and nothing.

God has spoken and God will reveal to all of mankind His Mind, Truth and Righteousness and mans position within God’s Realm of Life. This is stated as The Kingdom of God.

God in the flesh came to man to reveal God and mans purpose, man in and through God will be transformed from mortal to immortal, from earthly to Heavenly, from death to Life all by the Might and Power of God within man, expressed as The Kingdom of God.

Man will let go of all the assumptions, doctrines, belief systems and rebellion to God once man enters God’s righteous judgement. This Purification process yields mans true destiny, eternal Life in the Realm of God.

“Yet we do speak wisdom among those who are mature; a wisdom, however, not of this age nor of the rulers of this age, who are passing away; but we speak God’s wisdom in a mystery, the hidden which God predestined before the ages to our glory; which none of the rulers of this age has understood; for if they had understood it they would not have crucified the Lord of glory; but just as it is written,

“THINGS WHICH EYE HAS NOT SEEN AND EAR HAS NOT HEARD, AND which HAVE NOT ENTERED THE HEART OF MAN, ALL THAT GOD HAS PREPARED FOR THOSE WHO LOVE HIM.”

In this Purification process man will experience the absolute abundance of God’s Love and will Love God as one has always been Loved by God.

 

Don’t Judge by the Outward Appearance

The whole of creation is about to see the goodness of God manifest, what appears as disorder in creation regarding man is all by design within the Sovereignty of our Father.

You cannot look at a caterpillar and see a butterfly, an egg and see a eagle, nor a woman with child and see a son of God.

The outward appearance doesn’t reveal the inner beauty, but God sees all in their complete deliverance.

God counts things that are not, as they are in His realm.

In the wisdom of God He subjects His creation to a lesser form to prepare the creation to its purpose in its fullness. All things work together for our Good within the wisdom of God.

 

To God Be Glory Forever

In the unfathomable depths of the wisdom of God there are mysteries wrapped inside of mysteries, goodness wrapped inside of greater goodness, joy wrapped inside of unending joy, blessings upon blessings with blessings unending, all to His Praise and Unending Glory.

Man is about to see this up close and very personally as God manifests Himself to all creation, displaying God’s righteous workmanship and the beautiful destiny for all mankind.

As God has stated mankind should be setting on the edge of their seats in eager anticipation of God’s Kingdom about to unfold before all of mankind.

Paul expressed this and this is so absolutely true for one and all.

“Oh, the depth of the riches both of the wisdom and knowledge of God! How unsearchable are His judgments and unfathomable His ways!

For WHO HAS KNOWN THE MIND OF THE LORD, OR WHO BECAME HIS COUNSELOR? Or WHO HAS FIRST GIVEN TO HIM THAT IT MIGHT BE PAID BACK TO HIM AGAIN?

For from Him and through Him and to Him are all things. To be the glory forever. Amen.”

Amen !

 

Beauty For Our Ashes

As He spoke it became true, a sign for all to see that God was establishing a New Order within mankind, no longer was the focus upon the external, the literal or the earth bound realm. In this the temple system was turned to dust to reveal God’s workmanship and will.

God in Spirit and Truth came to express His full intention for mankind, mans Salvation and entrance into the realm of God.

In this there must be “war before there is Peace”. This tearing down in order to build, this death before Life is His Way for corruption to become incorruptible, mortal to become immortal.

In the wisdom of God man is subjected to futility in hope, this hope is to become fully aware alive and awakened unto God. For in the wisdom of God man must taste this momentary and light affliction before becoming alive in God and His realm.

All will taste the bitter herbs before drinking the New Wine, all will see the futility of ones reasoning for the wisdom of God. This is God’s Devine Order for mankind.

“Come, let us return to the LORD. For He has torn, but He will heal us; He has wounded, but He will bandage us.

He will revive us after two days; He will raise us up on the third day, That we may live before Him.

So let us know, let us press on to know the LORD. His going forth is as certain as the dawn; And He will come to us like the rain, Like the spring rain watering the earth.”

~ Hosea 6:1~3

 

Your Kingdom Come

The Kingdom of God does not come to one by observation, or by reasoning of ones mind in relation to the scriptures.

The Kingdom of God does not come to one by the teachings and doctrines of man, nor by the writers of books nor by the efforts of man.

The Kingdom of God comes to one by the very will of God, in His order and timing, yet will without exception come to one and all.

The Kingdom of God comes to one in God’s Way and His Way alone, it comes to one in God’s direct interaction within ones nature.

The Kingdom of God comes to one as God’s righteous judgement refines ones very being in God’s likeness and image.

The Kingdom of God comes to one in the baptism of fire that sifts ones being of all unrighteousness for the revealing of God’s righteousness within one, expressed as The Kingdom of God.

 

New Day Dawning

There comes a day when we transition from our thoughts and earthbound existence for the mind of our Father and the Kingdom of God.

There comes a day we transition from our words and expression for the Word of God and His righteousness.

There comes a day we transition from our fallen and rebellious nature for the Pure and obedient nature of Christ.

This Day is at our doorstep, close at hand, and dawning upon one and all.

 

We Are The Israel of God

The One True God looks upon all of mankind with nothing but Love, there are no distinctions in God’s eyes when He looks upon His children, for we all are likened unto sheep and He is the Great Shepherd.

Mankind’s Savior King has spoken and His Word is Faithful and True, in the parable of the 99 and 1 The Good Shepherd will not rest until all of His flock is gathered under His Loving protection.

The prophets of old foresaw this all inclusive aspect and all of mankind in Spirit and Truth are seen as the Israel of God. All mankind falls into this category for all are of the same seed and of The One True God.

When Paul spoke of Jews and Gentiles he was addressing a man based distinction that in Spirit and Truth was never True in the realm of God.

We are all in Spirit and Truth the Israel of God, a nation formed and founded in The Kingdom of God.

“But now, thus says the LORD, your Creator, O Jacob, And He who formed you, O Israel, “Do not fear, for I have redeemed you; I have called you by name; you are Mine!

 

When you pass through the waters, I will be with you; And through the rivers, they will not overflow you. When you walk through the fire, you will not be scorched, Nor will the flame burn you.”

Jacob and Israel are the same the only distinction is Jacob expresses a physical creation or nature and Israel expresses our nature in Spirit and Truth.

Once we each pass through the purification of God’s judgement we like Jacob have our name symbolic of our nature changed to Israel, God’s chosen people who bare His Name in image and likeness.
