Jenelsie's Corner (1.29.17)

My Grace and Truth Family,

Our Father knows what we have need of as His children. HE is taking His time to announce to us "how HE is" as our God, who is also our Father. Of course, we only know in part, but HE opens up about Himself for our maturation in relationship with Him. HE will not have us ignorant and rely upon imaginations, even vain thoughts, as we relate and respond to Him. The truth is established with revelation of how Jesus, Lord and Savior, "as us" responded and lived by our Father. As we receive and believe truth, our Father knows we are being transformed and conformed. We are "taking the yoke of Jesus upon us...eating His flesh and 'learning' of HIM" about HIM--to the praise of His Name!

Hallelujah!

Your Sister,

"How God Is:" His Praise

If I might paraphrase [I Corinthians 1:25], for contextual emphasis:

“ ...the foolishness (or preaching, v. 18) of God is wiser than men; and the weakness (or praise) of God is stronger than men.” [Pastor]

Praise equals strength.

When we give Praise to God, that is when His Strength is perfected in us. [Pastor; 2 Corinthians 12:9]

His Praise, “out of the mouth of babes,” is His Strength; and Praise lays the foundation for the manifestation of His Strength ...because, that's How God Is. [Pastor; Psalms 8:2]

But God has chosen the foolish things of the world to confound the wise ...and the weak things of the world to confound the things which are mighty.

[1 Corinthians 1:27]

Except He reveal them, His ways are past finding out.

ThenSingsMySoul:

GOD IS THE JOY AND THE STRENGTH OF MY LIFE,

HE MOVES ALL PAIN, MISERY, AND STRIFE.

HE PROMISED TO KEEP ME, NEVER TO LEAVE ME;

HE'S NEVER, EVER, COME SHORT OF HIS WORD.

GOD IS, GOD IS, GOD IS, GOD IS,

GOD IS MY ALL AND ALL!

Righteous For What

That we might have access (to The Godhead), with confidence, through the faith of Him; Who saved us,  by His grace.

[Pastor; Ephesians 3:11-12]

 You see, “sin (had) severed the umbilical cord ...or, unplugged man from his connection to God; which connection was restored (rectified) through Christ.

[Pastor; Isaiah 59:2; Romans 5:8-10]

The law of sin and death could never give us access; because no flesh shall be justified in the sight of God; by the deeds of the law ...but, the law of the Spirit of Life IN Christ ...has made us free from the law of sin and death ...that the righteousness of the law might be fulfilled IN us, who walk not after the flesh, but after the Spirit.

[Romans 8:2-4]

“God refuses to be known apart from us.” For we are dead to ourselves, “And (our) life is hid with (and manifested through) Christ IN God (with us).”

[Pastor; Colossians 3:3]

ThenSingsMySoul:

NOW, BLAMELESS , YOU CALL ME HOLY;

I'VE BEEN FORGIVEN, YOU CALL ME RIGHTEOUS AND FREE!

NOW SPOTLESS, YOU CALL ME WORTHY;

I AM YOUR CHILD, YOU CALL ME CHOSEN,

I'M YOURS, I AM YOURS!

[Blameless, Dara Maclean]

My Grace and Truth Family,

With our Father's "unfolding" of the magnitude of "life of the Son within us", we can honestly experience the "freshness" which the "fold" reveals about Him. The "freshness" is what "energizes and excites" us in "knowing Him." So, then we bring "interaction" to our Father with words in conversation, with songs in praise, and with expressions of dependence in our Lord--the "author and finisher of our faith." And we get the "express" opportunity and privilege to "behold His glory" from manifestation to manifestation, day in and out through situation after situation, in a very "real" way, while being transformed and conformed into His image. Hallelujah!

Let us offer our thanksgiving together unto our Almighty God and Father!

My Grace and Truth Family,

To be alive and experience "from to faith" (Romans 1:17), "glory to glory" (2 Corinthians 3:18)--all part of the "high calling of God" for the new-man "in Christ Jesus." We can be glad for the ears to "hear" and the heart to "understand" what Holy Spirit is saying. We can rejoice that HE has chosen us to partake in the life of the "godhead." Thank you, Jesus! Hallelujah!!

My GTFI Family,

To all the saints of Jesus Christ which are at Grace and Truth: "Grace be unto you, and peace from God our Father and from the Lord Jesus Christ."

This first greeting to you in 2017 is with thanksgiving as I remember how faithful our FATHER has been to us as members of the Lord's body--His church. His love has abounded toward us in the revelation of who "HE is" and in the rewards that HE gives as we come to "know HIM." We can expect the Holy Ghost to manifest "new" wisdom and understanding in greater portion about our Lord and our "being in Him." "New" fruit shall come forth! HE has spoken (hear the Word delivered at Now Faith Fellowship on December 31, 2016)!

Hallelujah!! Let us rejoice together!!

Your sister,

Happy "New" Year

To Begin Again, we must Repent, and Believe the Gospel; that we might be converted/saved/transformed/perfected, in the joy of the experience of Christ IN you. No Christ IN you results in a religious spirit; not the Holy Spirit.

[Colossians 1:20; Pastor]

Scientists have discovered that the blood needs to be oxygenated/energized/and revitalized; in order to stem the tide of degeneration/ageing (or, spiritually speaking, reprobation). That is why we can't live a renewed Life without The Holy Ghost POWER at work, on our insides; causing us to “Repent, and believe.” That's the  “new” wine, in the “new” wineskins ...where “all things are become new.”

[Mark 1:15; Matthew 9:17/AMP; 2 Corinth 5:17]

Through the prophet Isaiah, God said: “Behold, I will do a 'new' thing;” and He has done, and He continues to “do.”

[Isaiah 43:19]

When The Lord endues us with His POWER, that connection with Eternal Life is made sure, NOW!

[Luke 24:49; Pastor]

ThenSingsMySoul:

“NEW” LIFE, “NEW” LIFE, “NEW” LIFE, (“NEW” LIFE),

HE HAS GIVEN US “NEW” LIFE!
