DO WE LIVE IN FAITH OR FEAR?
The Judgment of God is coming upon the world ... but to the one who is "right" with God (declared righteous by His Faith in Jesus Christ) there should be no fear, for we will not stand in our righteousness.. we have no righteousness apart from Christ! This Judgment has already fallen upon Christ... and we have passed out from underneath it, by our Faith in His Righteouness being given to our account, by faith!
We know Christ became the curse for those who have received by faith, His Righteousness... (Galatians Message) There is no righteousness of our own which will be able to stand in the Presence of the Most Holy God... only the Perfect Righteousness of the Son of God, Jesus the Christ. We know, the righteousness that is being worked in us will never be adequate to justify us... yet, because of our faith in Christ, when the Father looks upon us, He sees His Son, Jesus for He is our Righteousness. We are in Him... and we are at peace with the
Father... in His Perfect Place of Refuge!
Let's not allow anything to steal from us, our complete and utter dependence upon the Lord Jesus Christ... for HE is our Peace! AGAIN.. We have PEACE with the Father, through JESUS Christ! We are already at peace with the Father, through our faith in His Beloved Son!
No Christian should fear the judgment of God, for by faith, we have already passed out from under the Curse, by Christ becoming a Curse for us! This is our basic Christian belief!! Basic Christianity! ... HE is our Refuge and we need not fear anything coming upon the earth, if we are in Him. How do we know if we are in Him? Christ is in us when we are in Him... and HE is formed in our hearts by faith, declared the Word of God! We are Christians when we have received by faith, this same Jesus Christ, who is our Righteousness! Our Covering.. our Kapporeth, our Mercy Seat! Perfect Love casts out all fear...and has no place in the life of a faither! One who lives by faith!
The Basic Christian Message... requires us to put NO TRUST in ourselves... for we all continue to fall short of the glory of God and are utter dependent upon the Grace and Mercy and Forgiveness of God... and are "declared righteous" only by our faith. "WE" are seen just as Christ, when we have received this deliverance... this redemption by Christ... and can boldy come to the Throne of Grace now, by virtue of our Beloved's Sacrifice upon our behalf! What is there to fear when you are at Peace with God? We come as Esther did to her Husband/King... depending upon the Grace and Mercy of HIM, to whom she belonged.. knowing HE could with all justice, have her destroyed for her lawlessness.... yet.. she TRUSTED in His LOVE to receive her.... do we TRUST our God this way?
In the days coming upon the earth, there shall surely be revealed this Truth. Who are those who have come to place "trust in their own righteousness"? Who will be found uncovered... having not taking upon themselves the Wedding Garments provided by the Father? Who think to come to Him clothed in their own attire? Believing they, in their own strength, have measured up to His Royal Standard! Believing they are righteous in themselves.. and able to stand in the Presence of the Most High! (Oh God have mercy upon us all!)
Will we be surprised that many we called "prostitutes and whores"... entered the Kingdom of God before us and are a part of that great throng of people who did indeed accept the invitation to the Wedding Banquet? Will we be shocked at the ones who have the places of honor... because in our limited understanding, they seemed to us to be so "unfit for the Kingdom?"
The Lord has said it would be so.... that it is easier for a prostitute and a whore to enter the Kingdom of God than those who were so assured of their own righteousness... their own "rightness".. which shall be shown to be the filthy rags of human righteousness, destined for the fire! This is the day of revealing... and everything that is hidden shall be revealed. May we hold tight to the truth of our Peace with the Father, through JESUS CHRIST and not ourselves... for there is no other PEACE except Jesus... He is our Peace!
WE lift up the Name of JESUS on Light-String... for we rejoice in His Salvation! This is a most wonderful and terrible day coming upon the earth, depending upon the true state of our hearts ... for the Father has determined to reveal truly those who have been called forth by Him to walk in His Name. There shall no longer be a confusion as to who truly belongs to Him, for HE shall clearly reveal His Precious Son Jesus in those who have come through the fires of purification, the breakings, the wilderness, everywhere the Lamb went.... those in whom "the soul" no longer rules over the Spirit.. in whom the Father shall be glorified.
Those who have spoken in His Name, without His Naming, shall surely also be revealed and known... for the Real shall cause the counterfeit to flee... and the Judgment of God shall truly show each man the truth about himself! Where did he put his faith... in himself or in JESUS?
Many there shall be who go forth in His Name.. claiming to speak for HIM.. and yet, speak by a spirit that is not of Him. Amen.. how true! Do you know HIM well enough to know the difference? A. W. Tozer said once that we should know the Voice of the Holy Spirit as well as we know our own mother's voice... able to pick this Voice out of a crowd of voices... as
the One we LOVE...
May the PEACE of the Father rest upon all those in Light-String... who through Jesus Christ have come into this "Cessation of Againstness" The Father is NOT against us... as we have, in Christ "passed out from underneath" the curse which is coming upon all the world..... Do we believe this basic Christian doctrine? Or should we be falling away in fear... because the Love of many has waxed cold? Who is our Refuge in times of trouble? Who do we put our trust in.. God or ourselves? Lord... may You reveal to us the truth about our own hearts!
