Jenelsie's Corner (06/28/15)

My Grace and Truth Family,

Beloved of God, the gospel of Jesus Christ proclaims and delivers a love to us that is so wonderful! The "eyes" of our understanding have been opened to comprehend a breadth, a length, a depth, and a height of our Father's love. To know His love has nothing to do with knowledge, but everything to do with experience. As we have received His Spirit, His working through daily situations unveils the intent of our Father's relationship by one--Christ Jesus, our Lord. For HE knows the thoughts that HE thinks toward us--thoughts of peace, and not evil, to give us an expected end now that we are in Christ Jesus. The Holy Ghost persuades us with every circumstance of height where we find things 'over our heads' that HE is taller to bring us out. Jesus has been to the depths of hell that we might know the love of a Father to bring us up. "...that neither...nor...shall be able to separate us from the love of God (our Father), which is in Christ Jesus  our Lord.

Hallelujah!

Your sister,

Understanding "Father"

The revelation of “Father” is downward (from heaven to earth/where the Word was made flesh)(by Father's initiation), not upward (by man's futile effort to reach the “Father” he never knew). [Pastor]

 Jesus came to reveal to us the “Father,” and bring us into a relationship with the “Father;” by the Spirit of adoption. [Pastor; John 1:18; 14:6; Rom 8:15]

After the resurrection, and the new birth; resulting in the new creation, and the accomplishment of the new covenant seal of the Holy Ghost, God said: “(I) will be    a 'Father' unto you, and ye shall be My sons and daughters...”[Pastor; Eph 1:13-14; 2 Cor 6:16-18]

 To know the “Father” is to know Love ...and to know Love is to “Behold(look at/experience), what manner of Love the Father has given unto us ...”  

ThenSingsMySoul:

YES, ABBA LOVES ME!

YES, ABBA LOVES ME!

YES, ABBA LOVES ME!

FOR HIS SPIRIT TELLS ME SO!!!

[Rom 8:15, We cry Abba, “Father,” by His Spirit of adoption]

My Grace and Truth Family,

The dynamic relationship between the only God who is love and His beloved is set apart from all other religions in the earth. No other god has made a covenant through the shedding of his own blood with promise to supply all the need of his beloved. We are His beloved, and He is ours; HE shall provide for us. We can trust Him! ...the working of Christianity!

Hallelujah!

My Grace and Truth Family,

It is my desire that we all would sit 'at the feet of our Lord Jesus' and 'receive the greater part.' Here are words again to encourage you:

"Blessings as we dine together from the table spread for us every time we gather! Our Father in all His wisdom, allows us to eat portions according to our appetites, but HE gives us what's nourishing with each meal. HE even knows how to add a little solid food, like mashed potatoes, to those of us being weaned from breast milk. And HE knows how to make the serving palatable so we can acquire a taste for each dish to eat all of it.

The wonderful thing about our meals is that Jesus, our Lord, ate the very same foods, depending on every morsel and sip of drink to exist as man unto HIS FATHER! Now that HE is in us and we are in HIM, we are transformed into HIS image as "man" (even as sons and daughters) by what we eat, growing into the stature of the fulness of Christ Jesus. The Holy Ghost is at work to bring all who belong to HIM to hunger and thirst, being filled only by eating and drinking from HIS table."

"Man shall not live... but by every breath which proceeds out of the mouth of God."

Thank you, Father, for feeding us!!

Hallelujah to our God!!

Your sister,

How Does One Become A Christian?

At the “initiation” of God. Selah.

 Because “we don't go after God, He comes after us.”

[Pastor]

 Quote: “Ye have not chosen Me, I have chosen you...” [Jesus; John 15:16]

 “Not that we loved (Him), but (because) He (first) loved us, and sent His Son to be the propitiation (or atonement) for our sins”  [1 John 4:10, 18]

Christianity is the only faith whereby God seeks to find us [Luke 19:10]; otherwise the legalism of other faiths puts the burden of discovery (or “initiation”) on you.

[Pastor]

God made man to share Himself (His Life, even His insides) with (intimately, also known as relationship).

[Pastor]

LORD, I WANT TO BE A CHRISTIAN

LORD, I WANT O BE A CHRISTIAN

My Grace and Truth Family,

Let me put you in remembrance that our Lord speaks to us out of the paradigm of the Kingdom of God and not from the kingdoms of this world. The world's kingdoms are of darkness--wisdom from beneath with lies and deceits. The Kingdom of God, inherited by the Son (the kingdom of His dear Son), has now been given to us--the redeemed, joined to Jesus Christ, living in Christ, Christ living in us--by His own pleasure. And His Kingdom is full of truth and wisdom from above: "first pure, then peaceable, gentle, and easy to be entreated...."

We are being taught by the Holy Ghost how to live out from this paradigm which is sooooooo... new to us in this "born again" state. Yes, we are being taught how Christianity works. The milk and meat that HE feeds is essential for growth and maturity.

Wednesday nights are a special feast for us at Grace and Truth, and the full course meal is free. We are eating from His paradigm! There is a place setting for you at the next spread! Come, let's dine together.

Here's loving you by His love,

Sister Jenelsie, Pastor's wife

What Is Christianity About?

Theologically, Christianity is about the incarnation; aka “Christ in you ...” You were fearfully and wonderfully made (created) for His habitation [Pastor; Col 1:27]

Morally, Christianity is about becoming “partakers of the divine nature ...” aka participants in the Godhead...”not I, but Christ lives in me.”

[Pastor; 2 Pet 1:4; Gal 2:20]

Evangelistically, Christianity is about Christ making the Jew and the Gentile “ONE new man,” in Himself ...thus, a new creature IN Christ. [Pastor; Eph 2:15]

Eschatalogically, the kingdom of Messiah is “now”  [Col 1:13], and “later,” when Christ shall have delivered up (or restored) the kingdom to God, even the Father ...that God may be all in all.

[Pastor; 1 Cor 15:24-28]

ThenSingsMySoul:

...AND FOR YOUR PLEASURE

WE WERE CREATED,

THOU ART WORTHY, O LORD!

                                    

[Rev 4:11]
