The Elect Lady

 There are so many today who claim to be saved an living for the purposes of the Kingdom of God. But, these individuals are in derect rebellion against the very teaching of the Word of God. But, those who're truly apart of the Church of the Lord Jesus Christ, the ture Elect Lady known as the bride of Christ. She's love by all who hold fast to the truth of the Word of God at all times. We who've inherit the promise "Eternal Life" through our personal relationship with, Jesus Christ, as both our Lord and Savior. Live our life in such a way for the truth's sake, which dwelleth in us, and shall be with us for ever (2 John 1:1-2). 


The Spirit of God has poured upon each of us His rich grace, mercy, and peace, from God the Father, and from the Lord Jesus Christ, the Son of the Father, in truth and love. It always gives the Father great joy to witness each of His children walking in obedience. John, acknowledges this within the Word of God when he states the following: I rejoiced greatly that I found of thy children walking in truth, as we have received a commandment from the Father (2 John 1:3). 

The Word of God makes clear this important fact of walking in the love of God. Simply, because, we who've received, Jesus Christ, as both Lord and Savior. Do not comform to the dark standards of this present evil world system. Those who truly love the Lord God will always live their life in accordance with the divine mandates of the Word of God. We cannot state we love the Lord Jesus Christ if we're unwilling to obey the Word of God as commanded us each child of God. Therefore, John, continues by stating the following: 

And now I beseech thee, lady, not as though I wrote a new commandment unto thee, but that which we had from the beginning, that we love one another. And this is love that we love, that we walk after his commandments. This is the commandment,, That, as ye have heard from the beginning, ye should walk in it (2 John 1:5-6). 

If we don't follow the Lord Jesus Christ in obedience. Then, we stand a chance of being deceived by the lawless one, "Satan." Why? Simply, because, we refuse to live a Kingdom Lifestyle which obeys the Word of God. The Word of God tells us; For many deceivers are entered into the world, who confess not that Jesus Christ is come in the flesh. This is a deceiver and an antichrist (2 John 1:7). This is the reason we've been informed to watch after our own salvation daily. After all, there are those who've given of themselves to graced our life with the message of salvation through, Jesus Christ. 

Look to yourselves, that we lose not those things which we have wrought, but that we receive a full reward. Once again we're warned about the way we live our life while here within this present sphere of life (2 John 1:8). John, continues to give a warning as he encoueages the "Elect Lady." Stating the following: Whosoever transgresseseth, and abideth not in the doctrine of Christ, hath not God. He that abideth in the doctrine of Christ, he hath both the Father and the Son (2 John 1:9). 

The Apostle John lays out very clearly the information the "Elect Lady" needed to understand concerning her wellbeing. He's happy or rejoicing she and her children are walking in both love and obedience. He continues by warning her farther with the following last words. If there come any unto you, and bring not this doctrine, receive him not int your house, neither bid him God speed. For he that biddeth him God speed is partaker of his evil deeds (2 John 1:10-11). He closes with a blessed word concerning his soon arrival. 

Having many things to write unto you, I would not write with paper and ink: but I trust to come unto you, and speak face to face, that our joy may be full. The children of thy elect sister greet thee. Amen! (2 John 1:12-13). You and I are called out of this present world system to live holy righteous Kingdom Lifestyles. Yes, we're apart of the "Elect Lady" the bride of the Lord Jesus Christ. Therefore, let each of us continue with Him in loving obedience. God bless.

The Barrier Removed

 In order to free us from the slave market of sin, God designed a means by which His perfect standards can be met. God the Father sent His Son, Jesus Christ, to remove the barrier between God and man. Jesus Christ is unique because He is both perfect God and perfect man. Not only is Jesus Christ human, but He is also just as much God as the Father who sent Him: "I and the Father are one" (John 10:30).  When Jesus Christ came to earth to become the God-man, He was born outside the slave market: His humanity was perfect. Because of His unique birth, He alone had no sinful nature. He never committed a sin Himself, and no divine punishment was due Him.  Only Christ was qualified on His own merit to meet the perfect standards of God. Only Christ could purchase our freedom because He was free from sin and outside the slave market. God the Father as the Supreme Judge accepted Him as your substitute. As the only perfect man in history, Jesus Christ chose to judged on the cross for ma

Passion & Praise God's Way

Image
  I learned over the many years of my life God's ways of doing things are the total opposite of the way we as humans like to do things. The Word of God says; do this and instead, we insist on doing it our way which only leads us into problems in our life. We each can rediscover true passion and praise once again simply by seeking the Lord God's way of serving Him. We cannot come into the presence of the Lord God any kind of way. No, there's a sure way for us to enter into fellowship with the Lord Jesus Christ each time we go to present ourselves before Him.  It's wonderful how the Lord Jesus Christ, followed his Father's instructions to the letter. He experienced many hardships. Many let downs by others who didn't mean him any good whatsoever as he walked faithfully to the cross which would take his life. Yes, this was his passion and praise done God's way. Yet in the very midst of everything taking place in his life. The Lord Jesus Christ remained faithfull

Separated From God

 Until this moment you may not have been aware that you were born under a sentence of death. You may think of yourself as a 'good person,' and you feel that God would never condemned you, and only Christ can save you. In Christ's own words the Gospel message is: "I am the way, and the truth, and the life; no one comes to the Father, but through Me."  Our marred nature separates us from God. There are no 'good' people by God's standards. No one can be 'good enough' by his own desire or works to remove this barrier that separates man from God. Imperfect man is on one side of the barrier and perfect God is on the other.  What does it take to get it right with the Father? It's simple; accept the sacrifice of His only begotten Son, Jesus Christ. His finished works on the cross is all you need. Here's what the manifest Word of God says:  But what saith it? The word is nigh thee, even in thy mouth, and in thy heart; that is, the word of faith,
