Where "Faith" Leads Me, I Will Follow

At GTFI, we were told, “The Lord initiates participation (in His divine nature) by evoking the response of faith; saying, “I didn't make man to be inanimate, I made man to participate.” [Pastor; 1 Pet 1:4]

Hence, we can hear; thru the ear of faith, “Let us make man in our image, after our likeness: and let them have dominion (participate/have complete authority) over...all  the earth (ie, the works of His hands).” [Gen 1:26; Ps 8:6]

Scripture records, “The steps of a good man are ordered by the Lord,” and Jesus is, and was, that “good man;” whose steps we are encouraged to follow. [Ps 37:23; 2 Pet 2:21]

Without His Spirit causing, and provoking, us, we wouldn't be able to participate in His life (ie, be like Him), by the response of “faith;” for the Spirit will guide us into all truth.              [Eze 36:26-27; Jn 16:13]

It is written: “Train up a child, in the way that he should go ...” and the Lord (by His Spirit) is leading us to a place of “trust;” that we would be enabled to bring our “feelings”(even our bodies) under subjection. [Prov 22:6; Nah 1:7; 1 Cor 9:27]

ThenSingsMySoul:

WHERE THERE IS FAITH,

THERE IS A VOICE CALLING, KEEP WALKING,

YOU'RE NOT ALONE, IN THIS WORLD.

WHERE THERE IS FAITH,

THERE IS A PEACE LIKE A CHILD SLEEPING,

HOPE EVERLASTING IN HE WHO IS ABLE 

TO BEAR EVERY BURDEN, TO HEAL EVERY HURT IN MY HEART

It'S A WONDERFUL, POWERFUL PLACE,

WHERE THERE IS FAITH.

My Grace and Truth Family:

…but all of us looking unto our Lord Jesus—it’s like looking into a mirror and seeing the glory of the Lord...and while we are seeing HIM we are constantly being transfigured (changed) by the Holy Ghost into HIS very own image—little by little—in ever increasing splendor and from one degree of glory to another…

Hallelujah to our LORD!

Love in Christ Jesus,

My Grace and Truth Family,

Our Lord Jesus has certainly manifested HIS LIFE in me over the recent days through what has become commonly known as the “Christmas season.” The working of HIS LIFE in me by the HOLY GHOST is what strengthened me to worship HIM and call upon HIM.  HIS faithfulness in performing HIS Word in so many other situations was my hope and my wait. HIS present rule and reign in me were anchors for my soul, and by HIS SPIRIT I could rejoice.  Though my body was ravished by weakness, sickness, and pain, there was yet another at work in me—a GREATER ONE.  The reality of HIS union with me is the “mind” that caused me to rejoice as HE was “bringing me through the season”.  The reality of HIS union with me is why I rejoice on this “Christmas Day.”

I’m grateful that HE was born to fulfill our FATHER’s purpose by HIS LIFE—now GOD with us—EMANUEL!  Hallelujah!

Love in Christ Jesus,

Why He Came

He came to save us, from our sins.

[Matt 1:21]

He came to ransom us, from the fall from grace.

[1 Tim 2: 4-5; Rom 3: 23]

He came to translate us out of darkness, into His marvelous light.

[Col 1: 13-14]

He came to reconcile us unto God.

[2 Cor 5: 18-19]

         He came that we might be conformed into His very image, and likeness.              [Rom 8: 29]

He came to fulfill “a new covenant” with us.

[Jer 31: 31-33]

He came that the scriptures, that would be written of Him, might be fulfilled: “Christ IN you, the hope of glory.”

[Col 1: 27]

“Behold, a virgin shall be with child, and shall bring forth a Son, and they shall call His name EMMANUEL, which being interpreted is, God with us.”

[Matt 1:23]

“Thanks be unto God for His unspeakable gift.”

[2 Cor 9: 15]

O COME, LET US ADORE HIM,

O COME, LET US ADORE HIM,

O COME, LET US ADORE HIM,

CHRIST, OUR LORD!

Dear Grace and Truth,

Surely the grace of our Lord has been to us as HE has walked us through our trials and tribulations just in the past days.  Remember HE said that we would surely have them; there is no escaping them.  Also bear in mind that HE has taught us to worship HIM even while we are in the midst of our experiences.  Right in the middle of the trial, HE calls us to assemble ourselves together to hear and receive strength to take one step at a time.  With each step during the tribulation that HE causes us to take by the supernatural Spirit of God, HE brings back to our remembrance His specific WORD like “look up and count the stars.” HIS WORD is the lamp for our feet.  Our believing HIM with the stepping is the victory that HE gives.  HE takes us from step (faith) to step (faith).  Our GOD causes us to triumph in Christ Jesus our Lord—trusting HIM, the ONE who has gotten us the victory.  Praise and thanksgiving are to our LORD and our Father God!!

Your sister,

Dear Grace and Truth family,

Our Lord truly encouraged me through the testimony of the saints while in North Carolina.  Our God has manifested, in part, the vision given to His vessels there—the revelation of JESUS CHRIST who is in fact the LORD of LORDS and KING of KINGS.  The Lord has magnified Himself!  Glory to our GOD!

Faithful is HE who has called us forth as Grace and Truth Fellowship International, and faithful is HE who will do, even accomplish, what HE has called and caused us to believe.

Thank you again for sending us on our journey, and we have returned with this report:  our GOD is well able to perform His “vision” through us.  Hallelujah!

Love in Christ Jesus,

What God Is NOT Doing

It is written that God was IN Christ, reconciling the world unto Himself, NOT IMPUTING “OUR SINS” unto us; and, instead, hath given to us the ministry of the word of reconciliation.

[2 Cor 6: 18-19]

Do you mean to tell me that God is NOT mad at me; and He does NOT condemn me, for coming up short of His glory? For all have sinned.

[Rom 3:23]

The “word” declares: “But we are washed ...sanctified ...justified, in the name of the Lord Jesus ...by the washing of regeneration; and renewing of the Holy Ghost ...that we may therefore come boldly unto the throne of grace, that we may obtain grace to help us in time of need.”

[1 Cor 6:11; Tit 3: 5; Heb 4: 16]

 Aren't you grateful that the Holy Ghost is a lifetime renewable, non-cancellable, ever lasting benefit of your salvation?

[Rom 11:29]

ThenSingsMySoul:

I'M FORGIVEN, YOU WERE FORSAKEN,

I'M ACCEPTED, YOU WERE CONDEMNED.

I'M ALIVE AND WELL, YOUR SPIRIT IS WITHIN ME,

BECAUSE YOU DIED AND ROSE AGAIN.

AMAZING LOVE, HOW CAN IT BE,

THAT YOU, A KING, WOULD DIE FOR ME.

AMAZING LOVE,  I KNOW IT'S TRUE;

AND IT'S MY JOY TO HONOR YOU,

IN ALL I DO, I HONOR YOU.
