Be as Those Raised from the Dead!

I speak unto you this day and I say, “Be as Those Raised from the Dead,” because inasmuch as you were once among the walking dead, because you were steeped in sin and the wages of sin are death, you are Alive! Which means essentially that while you were once a sin-slave, dead in trespasses and sins, headed to Hell, you are now as Those Raised from the Dead. This means that you need to be Rejoicing for the privilege to be Redeemed and being Restored to Me as your Father. 

There are many who do not fully appreciate the Salvation mercies they receive, and because they are shallow, and the storms of life come upon them, and what they have received is washed away. Others, when persecution or pressure arise because of identity with JESUS, turn back and follow Him no more. Those who have received Salvation and do not appreciate fully what JESUS did for them are really made evident by their choices and before ME, they are not worthy. . . .

JESUS CHRIST THE LORD is the only Savior from sin and the power of the devil.  He is God in the flesh -- the Only One who has come to die for you and me, to pay the penalty of our sins and empower us by His Holy Spirit to live a victorious life above sin!  He can help you, and He will, if you just turn to Him.  Turn from all known sin, turn to Jesus, pray for forgiveness for your sins and that God will fill you and baptize you in His Holy Spirit, and He will.  
Trust God!  Pray, read the Bible daily, and OBEY what God's Spirit shows you.  It is a lifelong journey in being made more and more like Jesus, so don't be discouraged and NEVER quit.  REPENT daily, love Jesus, and do the best you can to serve Him each day.  He will ALWAYS be with you to help you as you fight the battle to choose what is right and keep yourself in Him!

Be as Those Raised from the Dead!

I speak unto you this day and I say, “Be as Those Raised from the Dead,” because inasmuch as you were once among the walking dead, because you were steeped in sin and the wages of sin are death, you are Alive! Which means essentially that while you were once a sin-slave, dead in trespasses and sins, headed to Hell, you are now as Those Raised from the Dead. This means that you need to be Rejoicing for the privilege to be Redeemed and being Restored to Me as your Father. 

There are many who do not fully appreciate the Salvation mercies they receive, and because they are shallow, and the storms of life come upon them, and what they have received is washed away. Others, when persecution or pressure arise because of identity with JESUS, turn back and follow Him no more. Those who have received Salvation and do not appreciate fully what JESUS did for them are really made evident by their choices and before ME, they are not worthy.

While people can conjure up endless reasons for justifying their turning back, they are the fools who are listening to the devil and His demons rather than My Spirit. The Truth is, I the Living God am truly saddened by the ones who are so eager to turn back to the world, yet they basically are eliminating themselves by the evidence of their choices. Why should I have pity on them because while they made vows to Me, they are quick to break their vows and turn back to the vileness of sin. Literally they are like pigs running back to wallow in the mire and filth of sin. Before Me, just as natural pigs carry a stench, so do such people because they cannot wait to turn back to their sin wallow, rather than press onward.

If you really stop and meditate on what all has been done for you, there is no excuse which will stand before Me because those who offer excuses can have what they want now. That is all they will have is “their best life now,” because in the life to come, they will be in Hell because they chose to “live it up” now, refusing to fellowship Christ in His sufferings. Therefore they are fools who love their folly. They likewise want others to join in their stupidity and darkness. Those who are dumb enough or self-centered will go along with such twisted doctrines to their own condemnation.

This day and every day be thankful that you have been raised from the dead and given the New Life through the sacrifice of JESUS CHRIST the One who is your Savior, and your Lord. Do not look back to the days of sin and imagine there is something there for you. There is nothing there except the way of destruction, devastation, depression, and death. Consider while people make a big pretense over religious holidays, they do not stop their sinning on such occasions. They give themselves to drunkenness, drugging, gorging, and other forms of riotous living. How absolutely hypocritical it all is, for they are living in total hypocrisy.

Then when the “big show” is over and reality sets in, they must dedicate themselves to the tasks at hand which they do because they have to in order to maintain the lifestyles they cannot afford. However none give Me the time, or the dedication and consecration I desire of them. The Truth is, once the holiday is over, they forget all about My Son, Myself, and The Holy Spirit I have given to them to guide them forth in My Way. So as a consequence they go down, down, down into the mire of their own destruction and death.

The reality of your lives is, when you have been a sinner, and all literally are born into sin, and you become a New Creature in Christ, you are raised from the dead and given the chance to live in Newness of Life. What people choose to do with that chance determines their destiny in the end and it is Me who gives them according to their choices.

There are those who want to heap all of the blame on the devil if they as “Christians” sin and keep on sinning. However what they are failing to understand is they are the ones who are choosing to hide behind such an excuse as “the devil made them do it.” The Fact is that the devil cannot “make the Christian do anything.” When JESUS LAID HIS LIFE DOWN TO COVER THE SINS OF LOST HUMANITY, HIS BLOOD changed everything, by obedience He conquered the world, flesh, and devil. With these facts so plainly evident, the ones who want to play the “whore” and think they get by, they do not get by, and by their willful sins, they will die and be damned. I do not accept excuses, I accept obedience.

Consider a man had two sons, their father called them to a task. One did not want to do the task, yet because of respect for his father, he did it anyway. The other spoke persuasively to his father and told him he would do it right away. The first son did not want to obey, yet did the task out of respect and honor towards his father. The second son did what he wanted and never even considered the request of his father important enough to do. Quite plainly the first son showed obedience, the second son showed selfishness. Which category are you? Thankful to be raised from the dead, or determined to have your own way? The ones who hear and obey show their gratitude that they have been raised from the dead. Do you hear and obey, or do you hear and make promises you will never keep?
