It Is Finished

When Jesus therefore saw his mother, and the disciple standing by, whom he loved, he says unto his mother, Woman, behold your son! Then says he to the disciple, Behold your mother! And from that hour that disciple took her unto his own home. After this, Jesus knowing that all things were now accomplished, that the scripture might be fulfilled, says, I thirst. Now there was set a vessel full of vinegar: and they filled a spunge with vinegar, and put it upon hyssop, and put it to his mouth. When Jesus therefore had received the vinegar, he said, It is finished: and he bowed his head, and gave up the ghost.

For we are his workmanship, created in Christ Jesus unto good works, which God have before ordained that we should walk in them.

Father, I will that they also, whom you have given me, be with me where I am; that they may behold my glory, which you have given me: for you loved me before the foundation of the world.

Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who have blessed us with all spiritual blessings in heavenly places in Christ: According as he have chosen us in him before the foundation of the world, that we should be holy and without blame before him in love: Having predestinated us unto the adoption of children by Jesus Christ to himself, according to the good pleasure of his will, To the praise of the glory of his grace, wherein he hath made us accepted in the beloved.

But when it pleased God, who separated me from my mother's womb, and called me by his grace, To reveal his Son in me, that I might preach him among the heathen; immediately I conferred not with flesh and blood:

Without father, without mother, without descent, having neither beginning of days, nor end of life; but made like unto the Son of God; abides a priest continually.

John 19:28-30;Eph. 2:10;John 17:24;Eph. 1:3-6;Gal. 1:15-16;Heb. 7:3

This Is That Faith

But without faith it is impossible to please him: for he that comes to God must believe that he is, and that he is a rewarder of them that diligently seek him.

But seek you first the Kingdom of God, and His righteousness; and all these things shall be added unto you.

Of righteousness, because I go to my Father, and you see me no more;

Yet a little while, and the world sees me no more; but you see me: because I live, you shall live also.

Wherefore, my dearly beloved, flee from idolatry.

Heb. 6:11;Matt. 6:33;John 16:10;John 14:19;1 Cor. 10:14

God is invisible, it takes faith to call upon Him, this is the true faith, that Christ has given us, that we see him no more. Without faith, it is impossible to please God, for them that come to God must believe that He exist and that God is a rewarder when you diligently seek Him..this is that faith.

God Is More Important, God Created You

So he departed there and found Elisha the son of Shaphat, who was plowing with twelve yokes of oxen before him, and he with the twelfth: and Elijah passed by him, and cast his mantle upon him. And he left the oxen, and ran after Elijah, and said, Let me, I pray you to kiss my father and my mother, and then I will follow you.  And he said unto him, Go back again: for what have I done to you?

And another also said, Lord, I will follow you; but let me first go bid them farewell, which is at home at my house. And Jesus said unto him, No man, having put his hand to the plow, and looking back, is fit for the kingdom of God.

I will praise thee; for I am fearfully and wonderfully made: marvelous are thy works; and that my soul knows right well. My substance was not hidden from thee, when I was made in secret, and curiously wrought in the lowest parts of the earth. Your eyes did see my substance, yet being unperfect; and in your book all my members were written, which in continuance were fashioned, when as yet there was none of them.

1 Kings 19:19-20;Luke 9:61-62;Psalm 139:14-16; Matt. 23:9

Elijah knew that he was not God to tell Elisha to not go back to kiss his father and mother, goodbye..but Jesus, is God, God is His Word, the Creator, the Lord of Glory, forsake all and follow him, not looking back, for all that is back there is all about God, not man. God created you. You were created by God in the lowest parts of the earth which is the womb of a woman, God called you by your name, you are His..the commandment came to honor your mother and father: Why do you do this? because you love God and keep His commandments, as you were a child, you understood as a child and you thought like a child, children obey your parents in the Lord, which is right..but when you became an adult, you put away those childish things, pick up your cross and follow Christ, for you must forsake everything you think you know and follow your Creator, God.

The Heavens Are Opened Unto Christ.

The greatest offering is to present your bodies a living sacrifice, holy, which is your reasonable service. Christ fulfills what the law could not do, and all the law was fulfilled in Christ, walking in the Spirit is fulfilling everything that God requires in righteousness. There is a curse in involving the law, tithes is under the law. Be careful to stay abiding in Christ, to bear fruits, because whatever you ask, shall be done if you ask in Jesus name, there is no law, no curse. The Old Testament says, "Bring you all the tithes into the storehouse, that there may be meat in mine house, and prove me now herewith, saith the Lord of hosts, if I will not OPEN YOU THE WINDOWS OF HEAVEN, and POUR YOU OUT A BLESSING, THAT THERE SHALL NOT BE ROOM ENOUGH TO RECEIVE IT". The New Testament says, "And Jesus answering said unto him, Suffer it to be so now: for thus it becomes us to fulfill all righteousness. Then he suffered him. And Jesus, when he was baptized, went up straightway out of the water: and, lo, the HEAVENS WERE OPENED UNTO HIM, and HE SAW THE SPIRIT OF GOD DESCENDING LIKE A DOVE AND LIGHTING UPON HIM: And lo a voice from heaven, saying, This is my beloved Son, in whom I am well pleased.

Malachi 3:1-18;Matt. 3:15-17

Thank God, God is well pleased with us, that we have the Holy Spirit and heaven is opened to us in Christ Jesus, Thank God we received the greatest offering, Christ Jesus.

The Cursed And Lowest Creature

And the Lord God said unto the serpent, Because you hast done this, you are cursed above all cattle, and above every beast of the field; upon your belly shalt you go, and dust shalt you eat all the days of your life: And I will put enmity between you and the woman, and between your seed and her seed; it shall bruise your head, and you shalt bruise his heel.

And the God of peace shall bruise Satan under your feet shortly. The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with you. Amen.

Gen. 3:14-15;Rom. 16:20

Everlasting victory in Jesus...Amen. (The Amen, the faithful and true witness)

There Is A Reward To The Righteous

Your words have been stout against me, saith the Lord. Yet you say, What have we spoken so much against you? You have said, It is vain to serve God: and what profit is it that we have kept his ordinance, and that we have walked mournfully before the Lord of hosts? And now we call the proud happy; yea, they that work wickedness are set up; yea, they that tempt God are even delivered. Then they that feared the Lord spake often one to another: and the Lord hearkened, and heard it, and a book of remembrance was written before him for them that feared the Lord, and that thought upon his name. And they shall be mine, saith the Lord of hosts, in that day when I make up my jewels; and I will spare them, as a man spares his own son that serves him. Then shall you return, and discern between the righteous and the wicked, between him that serves God and him that serves him not.

Therefore, my beloved brethren, be you steadfast, unmoveable, always abounding in the work of the Lord, forasmuch as you know that your labor is not in vain in the Lord.

Nevertheless, the foundation of God stands sure, having this seal, The Lord knows them that are his.  And let everyone that names the name of Christ depart from inquity.

1 Cor. 15:58;2 Tim. 2:19;Mal. 3:13-18

Gathering In His Name

Two are better than one; because they have a good reward for their labor.  For if they fall, the one will lift up his fellow: but woe to him that is alone when he fall; for he has not another to help him up. And if one prevail against him, two shall withstand him; and a threefold cord is not quickly broken.

But if he will not hear you, then take with you one or two more, that in the mouth of two or three witnesses every word may be established.

Again I say unto you, That if two of you shall agree on earth as touching anything that they shall ask, it shall be done for them of my Father which is in heaven. For where two or three are gathered together in my name, there am I in the midst of them.

But exhort one another daily, while it is called today; unless any of you be hardened through the deceitfulness of sin.

Not forsaking the assembling of ourselves together, as the manner of some is; but exhorting one another: and so much the more, as you see the day approaching.

Eccl. 4:9-10+12;Matt. 18:16;Matt 18:19-20;Heb. 3:13;Heb. 10:25

It's Not Luck!

See a penny, Pick it up.
You are blessed, Beyond the rest.
If by chance you do find, You are of a sharper kind.

PoetDeerfield

You Are Complete In Him

After this manner therefore pray you:

Our Father which are in Heaven, Jesus.
Hallowed be your name, Jesus.
Your kingdom come, Jesus.
Your will be done in earth, Jesus.
As it is in heaven, Jesus.
Give us this day, Jesus.
Our daily bread, Jesus.
And forgive us our debts, Jesus
As we forgive our debtors, Jesus
And lead us not into temptation, Jesus
But deliver us from evil: Jesus
For yours is the kingdom, Jesus.
And the power, Jesus.
And the glory, Jesus.
Forever. Jesus.

Amen.

For this cause I bow my knees unto:

The Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, Of whom the whole family in heaven and earth is named, that he would grant you, according to the riches of his glory, to be strengthened with might by his Spirit in the inner man; that Christ may dwell in your hearts by faith; that you, being rooted and grounded in love, may be able to comprehend with all saints, What is the breadth, and length, and depth, and height?; And to know the love of Christ, which passes knowledge, that you might be filled with all the fullness of God. Now unto him, that is able to do exceeding, abundantly above all that we ask or think, according to the power that worketh in us, unto him be glory in the church by Christ Jesus, throughout all ages, world without end.

Amen.

Matt 6:9-13;Eph. 3:14-21

Born Of The Spirit

The wind blows where it lists, and you hear the sound thereof, but can not tell where it comes, and where it goes: so is every one that is born of the Spirit.

John 3:8

The Holy Spirit is not seen by this world, so the world doesn't believe in him.  The Holy Spirit doesn't speak of himself, so the world can't understand him.  The Holy Spirit is the Comforter to the believer that He abides in.

Those that are born of the Spirit, the world don't know where they're going next, the world doesn't know what they will say next, and doesn't know where they came from and what they think because God moves them and speaks through them and to them and they obey only God's voice...saying the world can't recognize them.
