Forgiven And Free!

"Jesus went throughout Galilee, teaching in their synagogues, preaching the good news of the kingdom, and healing every disease and sickness among the people." Matthew 4:23

"Therefore, since we are surrounded by such a great cloud of witnesses, let us throw off everything that hinders and the sin that so easily entangles, and let us run with perseverance the race marked out for us. Let us fix our eyes on Jesus, the author and perfecter of our faith, who for the joy set before him endured the cross, scorning its shame, and sat down at the right hand of the throne of God." Hebrews 12:1-2

"For our struggle is not against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the authorities, against the powers of this dark world and against the spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly realms." Ephesians 6:12

The Word has much to say about the significance of laying aside spiritual and emotional weights, along with those besetting sins that have seemingly controlled us over the years. As we venture into this topic, it's important to realize one vital point. The Body of Christ is to yield in the area of only one particular and distinct "tug"...Heaven's gravitational pull toward the Throne Room, and subsequent intimacy with the Father. Not unlike ET's continual desire to "phone home," nothing in this world will scratch humanity's proverbial itch faster than entering Dad's Secret Place, there abiding under the shadow of the Almighty, that special location of revelation, protection and provision.

Heaven is permitting us to become sick and tired of being sick and tired. We've tried everything, but Him. The arm of flesh has perpetually failed in all departments, including, yet not limited to, the Christian's perception of walking in holiness and Power. We've preached and talked about healing the sick and raising the dead, yet there hasn't even been enough of that to win many souls, or gain the media's attention. Formulas, theories and big bucks have failed in according the Father additional Family Members.

His plan is for thousands to accept Christ, to blow the fuzz off a peach, on a daily basis. That can only be accomplished by yielding to the Holy Spirit, as He takes the Bride through Her Glory to Glory promotion process, from knowledge and fruit, to effectiveness and results.

Without question, I firmly believe we are reaching that venue of dissatisfaction, an hour when the Kids will seek the Kingdom of God and His Righteousness with every atom of their being. When that's done, the Great Lover, Personally, will do the adding of Covenant's promises.

To the point where one dies, he lives. Laying down that pitiful lower life for the Secret Place and Covenant will translate into a miraculous manifestation, in and through the Church. By taking care of God's business, all of our needs, from spiritual, physical and psychological, as well as what's necessary to fully preach the Gospel...signs and wonders, will be freely and richly provided by that One Who possesses and delivers the good and perfect.

Why are we so vigorously fighting sin and the enemy? Both were defeated on Calvary's cross, two-thousand years ago. Satan has nothing at all in us. The only battle we're to embrace is the good one, that of faith, since, in Christ, we've already won.

Listen! There is no good thing in the flesh. And the natural mind cannot understand spirit, any more than your ear can taste an orange. That flesh simply wants to do its thing...sin! And it accomplishes iniquity quite well. The key to victory is frequently articulated by a well known chef who convincingly exclaims..."Kick it up a notch!"

Years ago, a flight crew was transporting cargo in a large carrier jet. To their dismay, a number of parcels shifted, including a container of extremely poisonous snakes. Noticing the reptiles heading for the main cabin, both pilots entered a panic mode. All they could picture was imminent death, not to mention the demise of their plane. Radioing numerous airports, no facility was in a position to permit an emergency landing. Either the runways were too small, or distance would have prevented a quick escape. While they were wondering what to do next, a voice was heard over the receiver..."Ascend! Ascend to a higher level!" The pair hadn't thought of that. But it worked. In so doing, all boxes, vermin included, slid to the rear of the jet. Minutes later, oxygen masks dropped, since the navigators had encountered thin air. Those snakes were not only out of the way, but they lost consciousness, as a direct result of entering a different atmosphere!

God is calling us to do likewise with sins, physical and psychological symptoms, financial woes, challenged dreams, visions and revelations. Additionally, all experiences and encounters must be treated with that identical mindset. When a quality decision is rendered to bring thoughts and situations into captivity, for the purpose of taking each boldly before the Father of Lights...ascending to the Throne Room, if you will, we will legally and tangibly be more than conquerors in Christ.

Sin cannot be defeated by carnal flesh and blood. Such is the case with disease. We can go only so far in the natural, but will eventually end up lacking in all departments. You see, people really wrestle not with the seen, but with powers and principalities in high places...the unseen. Blessings and problems originate in that fifth dimension. Therefore, they must be accepted or rejected within the same sphere.

A man is only as good as his personal experiences. Opinions are like noses. Everybody has one. Give me a person who has been there and done that, and you'll have my utmost attention. Such is to be the case with the Church. Certainly, there's an enemy out there, who does all within his power to convince the Christian that he's frustrated God and lives beyond hope. Or, Satan will attack from another angle by attempting to sidetrack him, via the sense realm, through trials, tribulations and temptations that are common to man. When he does, you and I are to ascend, transporting hell's lies to a level where we are far from all oppression, and can no longer hear the enemy's voice.

Toward that end, Enoch walked with God and found himself on the other side, in the Almighty's Presence. That required resolve. Why can't we do likewise, particularly when the Body of Christ is operating under a new and better Covenant? It's high time for us to be the head and not the tail!

The Spirit of Truth is eager to shed more Light on this subject.

Heaven's Atmosphere!

"Anointed Child, there is a place by Me, where you will not only be able to feel, but see, Heaven's Glory. My highest will for the Family is to live, move and have their being far above and beyond all oppression. As I Am, you have become in this world. Just as Satan unsuccessfully endeavored to tempt and trick Jesus during his days on earth, particularly in those ministry years, he does the same with Dad's Elect. You must remember, he's the same old devil. The truth isn't in him. Resultantly, the deceiver couldn't represent facts, if his life depended upon it. Had the enemy known that hell's defeat and the Lord of Glory were hanging on that cross, he would have 'beat feet' in another direction. Have you ever noticed how he usually overplays his hand, particularly as the Believer stands on the Word? The devil's sort of like that proverbial bar room drunk. Leave him alone long enough; he makes a fool of himself and leaves. Sin can never be willed out of a person's walk, without the sanctification Power of the Holy Spirit. In the absence of His help, it's sort of like going on an unsuccessful diet. One does well for a while, then binges and fails. What's missing is a conditioned mindset that determines to make a certain behavior one's way of life. From what you put on in the morning, to the time of ret irement at night, I want to lead in each decision and move. Does the Word not say that the steps of a righteous man, or woman, are led of the Lord? Isn't there an obvious implication, inherent within that verse, suggesting an eagerness and willingness from the Throne Room to guide all moves? Nothing is too small or foolish in My eyes. Beloved, ascend to a higher level. Live in Our Secret Place, and enjoy the richness of fellowship and experiential freedom from the Law's curse. Did Jesus not teach, preach and heal, as well as demonstrate the Gospel, as a Living Epistle? Surely! Such is your call. The Church teaches what isn't known, then preaches content, again and again, since faith comes by hearing. Finally, the hand of the Lord moves, confirming the Word with signs following! Whomever I set free is free, indeed!"
