Jenelsie's Corner (6.25.17)

My Family,

"Salvation belongs to the Lord..." As believers in the Almighty God, our daily rescue from the narrow, tight place of pressure into a larger, wide open one is of our Lord's doing. HE wired man--even the new man joined to Christ Jesus--so that he can never, ever save himself, not from anyone nor anything. Our God (Elohim) swore to the Son before 'the beginning' that there would be only ONE NAME under heaven given to man whereby he must be saved. The Name, JESUS, is given to us for our sure salvation, a sworn statement by the Godhead! Our Father God never leaves us (His "man children") without hope of being saved and rescued, so HE tells us to call JESUS, and HE will answer and save us! AND because of the relationship that we now have with our Father, we grow and increase in the knowledge of the "person" of JESUS, our salvation!

Hallelujah! Hosanna--save us!

Love in Christ Jesus,
Sister Jenelsie, Pastor's wife

Why Believe? (6.25.17)

Because of Who God is!
[Pastor]

Because of God's revelation of Himself, we can understand “How” He is, by knowing “Who” He is.
[Pastor]
            
 “Because that which is known about God is manifest/evident in mankind's inner consciousness; for God hath shewed it unto them. For the invisible things of Him/God/Elohim from the creation of the world are clearly seen/revealed, or being understood/comprehended/known by the things that are made/visible, through His workmanship, (the wonderful things that He has made), even His Eternal power and Godhead; so that they (who fail to believe and trust in Him) are without excuse.”
[Pastor; Romans 1:19-20(kjv/amp)]

That “seed” of “Faith” (in our DNA) is quickened/or activated by a Word from The Lord ...without which there is no Life. Therefore, Why Not Believe?

ThenSingsMySoul:

 BECAUSE OF WHO YOU ARE, I GIVE YOU GLORY
BECAUSE OF WHO YOU ARE, I GIVE YOU PRAISE
BECAUSE OF WHO YOU ARE, I WILL LIFT MY VOICE AND SAY,
LORD, I WORSHIP YOU BECAUSE OF WHO YOU ARE;
LORD, I WORSHIP YOU BECAUSE OF WHO YOU ARE.

Jenelsie's Corner (6.18.17)


My GTFI Family,

Greetings from our Father God-ELOHIM-who has sworn an oath to bless us. And here is a wonderful blessing: our Father has COMMANDED His light to shine forth in our hearts to illuminate the knowledge of the glory of our God and to reveal it in the person and face of JESUS CHRIST! Now, these WORDS are a "mouthful," but who or what can resist His will? Since HE commanded, then it is so!

Hallelujah!

Love in Christ Jesus,
Jenelsie, Pastor's wife

The Beginnings of Believing: Part 2 (6.11.17)



The veiled truth, behind Abram's (Abraham's) faith, is that, in the mind of God, we have already been tried, judged, justified and raised up (a “new” creature) IN Christ ...and, God's goodness to us is to speak to something in us; to draw us closer to Himself.
[Pastor; 2 Corinth 5:17]
 
And the Word; which was “in the beginning,” “The true Light which lighteth every man that cometh into the world,” is the source of the inner-working of The Spirit of God. [John 1:1, 4, 9]

King David bore witness that, “The entrance of Thy words giveth light; it giveth understanding to the simple.” [Psalm 119:130]

And Abram (the Gentile) is further proof that “Believing” takes place even when it does not appear that “Believing” is taking place ...before it is manifest.”
[Pastor; 1 John 3:2-3]

Jesus said,
“No man can come to Me, except the Father which hath sent Me draw him: and I will raise him up at the last day.” [John 6:44]

ThenSingsMySoul:

DRAW ME, DRAW ME, LORD;
AND I'LL COME RUNNING AFTER TO YOU.
DRAW ME, DRAW ME, LORD;

Jenelsie's Corner (6.11.17)

Dear Grace and Truth Family,

What do we "say" to these "things" that have come "into" our hearing? The "things" which are spoken proceed out from the mouth of our Father God; they pertain unto "life (HIS) and godliness (GODHEAD)". These "things" accompany our salvation, and our Savior, Lord Jesus declares His finished work in "bringing us to God."

We "say" the same "things" that YOU say! We "say" to YOU to "let these things be according to YOUR WORD and COVENANT to us!" We "say" that we are "blessed."!!!

We "say" hallelujah and thank YOU!

Your sister in His Love,
Jenelsie, Pastor's wife

Jenelsie's Corner (6.4.17)

My Grace and Truth Family,

Since our last gathering we all have this testimony in acknowledgement of our Father's goodness: our good, good FATHER redeemed our lives from destruction and crowned us with lovingkindness and tender mercies. Favor with Him and with man each day that we awakened was to lead us HIM. We were led to HIM for repentance from dead and evil works supposing to get His attention, approval, and blessing to "set ourselves" in right standing with Him. But HE makes it known what HE counts as righteousness and what pleases Him as God, our FATHER--an alive relationship and fellowship with HIM--even our FAITH. And it's not even our faith, but the faith of the Son, Jesus Christ who pleased FATHER.

Sisters and brothers, I implore you to hear what the Spirit is saying! So, I urge you to hear again the recent series on "The Beginnings of Believing" and "The Word of Righteousness." HE is calling us to "come to Him!" Hallelujah!

Love in Christ Jesus,
Sister Jenelsie, Pastor's wife

The Beginning(s) of Believing: Part 1 (6.4.17)

Because of something The Lord did in “Abram” (Abraham), he “believed in The Lord; and (The Lord) counted it to (Abram) for righteousness.”
[Pastor; Gen 15:6]

What happens inside of a person, by the Holy Spirit, is the preparing of the “heart” to “believe.”
[Pastor]

Before the “Believing,” the Brooding

The God Who created the world ...hath determined ...that (man) ...should seek the Lord ...and find Him, though He is not far from each one of us.
[Pastor; Acts 17:26-27]

This is a glimpse of the “brooding” of God, before the foundation of the world, when He reckoned that the just shall live by “believing,” and “believing” (faith) would come by hearing the Word of God.
[Pastor; Habakkuk 2:4; Romans 1:17; 10:17]

ThenSingsMySoul:

WE NEED TO HEAR FROM YOU
WE NEED A WORD FROM YOU
IF WE DON'T HEAR FROM YOU
WHAT WILL WE DO?
WANTING YOU MORE EACH DAY
SHOW US YOUR PERFECT WAY
THERE IS NO OTHER Way
THAT WE CAN LIVE.
