Being Justified By Faith...

     Beloved of God, greetings to you in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ.  I just want to briefly brush on this amazing truth about us the new creation. It is not just amazing, it is also unbelievable for the natural man. The Bible said that we have been justified.  Justification means that we are NOT GUILTY.  For all the sins we committed, God said we are not Guilty! No Charge! Yep, that's right.

Romans 5: 1 says, "Therefore being Justified by faith, we have peace with God, through our Lord Jesus Christ."


It would have made sense if God said, I forgive you and stops there. However, He went further to call us justified.  It doesn't make God a liar, it doesn't mean that God now tolerates sins. God is Holy, He is Holy.  We are justified because of what Jesus did.  Jesus paid the price for all our sins and He gave us a new life which cannot sin and cannot be tainted by sin. 
We have been made the righteousness of God in Christ Jesus. ( 2 Corinthians 5:21). We have the nature of God in us, the man that sinned is no longer alive, the sinner died with Christ and now has a new life. It doesn't matter that your mind remembers your sins, God does not remember. Hebrews 8:12 says, "For I will be merciful to their unrighteousness and their sins and iniquities will I remember no more."
The Bible said in Galatians 2:20, "I have been crucified with Christ and I no longer live, but Christ lives in me. The life I now live in the body, I live by faith of the Son of God who loved me and gave Himself for me." (NIV)  You see, when Jesus died, we died with Him and when He was raised, God raised us up together with Him..Romans 6:4, 2 Timothy 2:11.

Remember, Jesus was chastised for our peace Isaiah 55:3.  For all the sins we committed, all the sins we will ever commit, Jesus paid for them all. The Bible said that the soul that sins shall die..Ezekiel 18:20...however, according to Hebrews 2:9, Jesus tasted death for every man. So the legal demands of our sins were paid in full by Jesus when He gave His life for us. Colossians 1:14 says that it is in Christ we have redemption through His blood, the forgiveness of sins.
It would have been enough if God said, our sins are forgiven and ends it there, but He went further to say we are not guilty because the person who committed the sin died with Christ..it is a gift from God. Romans 3: 23-24 says, "For all have sinned and fallen short of the glory of God; and all are justified freely by His grace through the redemption that came by Christ Jesus."  People are quick to quote the first part that says..'all have sinned and fallen short of the glory of God...' but they don't see the second part that says we have been justified freely.  That's why the gospel of our Lord Jesus Christ is called the good news. If you receive Jesus as the Lord of your life, you will NOT go to Hell, but the devil does not want people to know this truth; hence, the attack on the church. God loves us y'all. He paid for our sins,  "...for God made Christ, who never sinned, to be the offering for our sin, so that we could be made right with God through Christ."  2 Corinthians 5:21. 
Jesus died for you and me..receive Him today and escape hell..cos if you don't and you die, too late...you will be meeting the devil in hell period. 
If you want to receive Jesus as your Lord just say this short prayer,  "Dear Heavenly Father, I believe that Jesus is Your Son, who came and died for me, I believe that you raised Him from the dead..I confess Jesus Christ as the Lord and I ask Him to come into my life and be the Lord of my life for ever."   If you made this confession, Welcome to God's Kingdom. God bless you, you are saved according to Romans chapter 10 verse 8-10.   Just make sure you get yourself into a Bible believing church so you can learn more about Jesus and His ways, you need to fellowship with other believers and have your mindset renewed with the Word.

God bless you and I love all my readers but Jesus loves you more

The Devil Is After Your Tongue.

As I continue to study the Word of God, I continue to have increased revelation of the scriptures and I love it. The Word of God is so sweet. It is the most interesting book in the World and I mean that both figuratively and literally.

Well, to the topic above...every child of God should know that the devil is not his or her problem, it is your tongue that is your problem and that is what that devil is after.  Nothing evil can happen to a Christian without his or her permission. I'm talking about a true practicing Christian here. The one that goes to church, pays his/her tithes, fasts and prays, even wins soul for our Lord Jesus.  The enemy can do nothing to you without your permission!   He reads the Bible you know and he knows the rights of a Christian, unfortunately many of us seem not to care enough to find out about our rights. A Christian is NOT of this world..see John 15:19, John 17:14. If you are a Christian, you are from above, we hail from God. 1 John 4:6, we are born of God. John 1:13. 

According to the book of Genesis 1:26 God made us in His image after His likeness (His character). This means we need to find out the operating law of where we belong.  The Bible is the only book that God gave to us to tell us who we are and how we are to operate in this world.  Romans 12:2 says that we should not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewal of our minds.  God created the earth with His Words, therefore since we are made like Him, we must use our words to create our world too. 

Job 22:28 says, "Thou shall also decree a thing and it shall be established unto thee..."  

Proverbs 18:7,  "A fool's mouth is his destruction and his lips are the snare of his soul."  

Proverbs 18:20-21, "A man's belly shall be satisfied with the fruit of his mouth  and with the increase of his lips shall he be filled.  Death and life are in the power of the tongue: and they that love it shall eat the fruit thereof."   

Proverbs 21:23, "Whoso keepeth his mouth and his tongue keepeth his soul from troubles." Proverbs 12:14, "A man shall be satisfied with the good fruit of his mouth."  

There are so many Bible verses advising us on the use of our tongues that I can't write them all here. Our Lord Jesus even told us in Mathew 12:37 that we are justified or condemned by our Words. 

How does the devil come after the tongue of a Christian? By creating negative circumstances around you so that you can observe and say them out..and once you say them, they are yours. Job 22:28. It could be a doctors negative report, it could  be even be your financial status, it could be a pain you feel, a thought that came to your mind, he wants to keep your imagination running wild on things that are negative. Before long it comes out of your mouth, "..for out of the abundance of the heart, the mouth speaks!"  Luke 6:45.

As long as that thing is contrary to the Word of God, NEVER VOICE IT OUT!  Say What You Want To See, Not What You See..especially if you don't like it.  It's a discipline that you must adhere to, it the law of the Spirit. It doesn't matter that you may be ignorant of this law, it is either working for you or against you. 

This is also good news!  If I can have whatever I say, then I start talking right..that means the power is in my hands to change whatever I don't like. It may take a while before it shows up, but it will show up. Be patient, consistent, persistent and never give up, or give in. What ever do you do, never give the devil your tongue  That's what he wants! Remember, what ever negative situation you may face is subject to change, just locate what God said about it in His Word and put it you mouth, God's Word never returns void. Isaiah 55:11.  

This talking right takes practice, the most important thing is to be conscious of what you say, if you make a mistake, change it and say the right words...Jesus said we should "...take no thought saying, what shall we eat or drink or what shall we wear?"...Matthew 6:31.  When the enemy push those negative thoughts into your mind, refuse to accept it, you accept it when you confess it, you endorse it when you say it. Therefore, take no thought saying anything negative..Get your Bible and fill your mouth with the Word of God. Say what God has said about you. Let's change our world with God's Word, for the Word always work!
