Seed for Dec 31

1 Cor 15:47
47 The first man is of the earth, earthy: the second man is the Lord from heaven.
(KJV)

The Lord did a new thing. He planted His Seed in the dirt (the womb of a woman) and created a new race. The Last Adam is race of God-men, a race of new creatures never before living upon the earth! Religion has taught us to keep our eyes upon our dirt, the old man. It is like us watching the dirt of the first Adam. That which is born of the flesh is flesh (dirt), and cannot please God. Why then, must we constantly watch our dirt to see how we are doing spiritually? Do we think by controlling the old man, the first Adam, by keeping our eyes upon the dirt, we can measure how we please God? Impossible! Dirt will always be dirt. The earthy is of the earth, from below. Being born of first Adam, seed of man, you are unable to please God, even by keeping all the rules of religion! Yet, religion has taught us to keep our eyes upon the dirt to see how we are doing. So everyone is looking at their dirt, instead of the New Creation, the Seed of God planted in our dirt. We will never be any more than dirt, no matter how many rules we have kept. It is not a matter of keeping the religious rule, trying to making the dirt better. It is all about the new man, the God-man, Christ within us. Rather than having our internal focus on the dirt, the old man, let’s see what God is doing in us, by His New Creation, the race of Last Adams. True faith is putting all your trust in Him, and none in your dirt. Be blessed.

Seed for Dec 30

What ever I can do without prayer and dependence upon God is from the old creation, Adam, "flesh". What is born of the flesh is flesh is Adam, and they that are in the flesh, the Adamic source, cannot please God. We have to determine the source of all our actions. Do they come from the old ground, flesh, Adam or from the new ground, Spirit, the Life of Jesus within? A life of Faith is totally and completely dependant upon the Spirit of God for life and guidance and power to perform. That is what being connected to the Vine is all about. We draw our life source and power from the Vine we are connected to. If I am disconnected from the Vine it leaves me powerless and useless, and purely Adamic. Jesus said, “Apart from me you can do nothing”. So what ever I am able to do apart from Jesus is “worthless” “useless” and not worth mentioning. I count my life and substance to come from Him. I lean completely upon Him for Life, source, guidance, power, supply and strength. I am hung upon the Nail fastened in a secure place. Be Blessed.

The trying of our faith is more precious than gold. The Lord knows what we think and why we think it. So it comes as not surprise to the Lord what is really inside us. But it is the pressures of life that bring out all the things that are inside of us that are not like Him. So it takes trials and tribulation to perfect us, by revealing the impurities within. The Lord has no desire to discourage us, or to put more on us than we can bear. For there is always a way of escape in every trial. When our faith is tested, it is for us to see, will I depend upon the Lord or will I depend upon flesh? Our Lord is a strong and mighty tower to whom we can run to find safety in times of trouble. Know this, that no trying of our faith seems joyous at first, but let Him have His way and we will come forth more than conquerors, giving Jesus the Glory. Be blessed.

Seed for Dec 28

I use to think, if I win someone to the Lord and don't send them to my "brand" of Church then how can they be saved? That sure limits the power of God, and puts "religion" with the power of salvation, doesn't it? The Bible says that Jesus is the author and finisher of our faith. When we come to know Him and are saved by Him, we are to add to our faith, virtue, not "religion." Fellowship with God's people is sweet and rewarding, but we must be careful not to think, we can save men and women. I will say it like I once heard a preacher say, "Someday you and I will be dead and the religion we believe in, will be gone, but Jesus will remain forever. So let's put all our faith in Him who is well able to deliver (save) His people from their sins. Be blessed.

Isa 26:33 You will keep in perfect peace him whose mind is steadfast, because he trusts in you.(NIV)

Perfect peace is the promise for us trusting in the Lord! Wow! We can examine ourselves and see if we are enjoying perfect peace. Peace in the storm. The disciples and Jesus got in a boat and Jesus said, "Let's go to the other side," and then laid down and went to sleep. In the middle of the sea, a storm rose up and the "professional" fishermen got scared (must have been some storm to scare them). What they forgot to remember was what Jesus had said..."Let's go to the other side." So they feared. Jesus rose and calmed the storm and rebuked them for such little faith. What storm of life has you in fear? Don't you remember what He said to you? When we trust Him, and lean upon Him all our doubts, fears and worries leave. If I am still in fear, then there is something wrong with my faith. Perfect love cast out all fear! Trust in Him and enjoy perfect peace. Be blessed.

Seed for Dec 26

Without faith it is impossible to please God. Faith is a noun, but in reality should be a verb. We should be "faithing", actively hanging our lives on every word the proceeds from the mouth of God. I will use this example. God is the electricity, and we are the light bulb. Without His electricity flowing thru us we are just darkness. Faith is the plug that connects us to God. When we, by faith, are plugged into God, we begin to manifest His (God's) characteristics. It is nothing that we have or can do, but it is Him in us. "I live, yet not I but Christ lives in me." Be blessed.

Col 2:16-17
16 Therefore do not let anyone judge you by what you eat or drink, or with regard to a religious festival, a New Moon celebration or a Sabbath day.
17 These are a shadow of the things that were to come; the reality, however, is found in Christ.
(NIV)

Some people keep holy days, and others do not keep or celebrate them. But the Word is quite plain that we are not to judge one another in respect to a holy day. Whether we keep that day or refrain from keeping or honoring that day, we do it to the Lord. For that reason no one has a right to judge us about keeping or not keeping and we then have no right to judge another in the same manner.

As a result….let me say, I honor this day, Christmas as a time of family and friendship, a time of rest and giving and a wonderful season for thinking about Jesus. It makes me no difference whether He was or was not born on this day. I know that in the “fullness of time” He came to his own. So my celebration is for Jesus and family and friends.

My prayer is for everyone in the sound of these words to be blessed in this season and remembering Jesus author and finisher of our faith. Be blessed.

The Year of the Census

The old grey beards were sitting at the gate of Jerusalem talking back and forth about what had just happened. Pilate had just executed several men in Jerusalem. One of the old grey beards said, “Surely that Jesus was Messiah, for I, personally witnessed Him open the eyes of a man born blind!” Another of the grey beards sitting at the gate agreed saying, “I was there when Jesus feed over 5,000 men and women and children with just a small boy’s lunch, can you imagine that?” And another agreed that he too had witnessed a miracle of Jesus raising a dead boy to life at a funeral. And each of the elders in took their turn in describing what miracles they had seen this man called Jesus do. They all agreed that only Messiah could have done such great and mighty miracles and yet their rulers had put Him to death. One of the old grey bearded elders, who was an innkeeper, said, “Oh, I would have given anything to have seen this great one, Jesus, and one of his miracles.“. “I just can’t believe they really crucified Him.”.

Someone in the group responded to the inn keeper, saying…” You did see Jesus….remember the year of the census?”


The old innkeeper smiled while thinking back to the year of the census and what a shrewd business man he was….”The census…oh, I remember, many years ago, during the census, everyone had to go to land of their fathers to be counted and taxed. That is when I had my inn in Bethlehem. In those days travelers would have to pay 2 prices to stay at my inn!” and he said that with a gleam in his eyes. I can still remember that great camel train that came in late that cold crisp night…with gold and silver weaved in the reigns of the camels. There must have been 10 or 11 camels in that train and I knew that rich merchant had come from far far away and being tired and would pay a premium price to stay in my inn. So of course, I keep the “best” rooms back for rich travelers that I knew would be arriving late in the night. I charged double for my rooms in those days. There were many folks that needed a room, in the City of David, but I just told everyone I had no rooms left! But I had secretly saved back my best rooms just for the rich travelers, arriving late. Being wise as I am, I wasn’t about to give away my best rooms to any of those poor travelers.” He smiled as he thought about what a crafty business man he was! “But I’ll assure you, if Jesus would have ever come to my inn, well, I would have given Him my very best room for free! But alas no one famous has ever comes to Bethlehem, he said sadly. I wish I could have see this man they called Jesus, Messiah. I wish Jesus would have come to Bethlehem, and stayed at my inn, I would have treated Him like a King.


Then one of the old grey beards said, “But he did come to Bethlehem.” And the Inn keeper asked puzzled, “Who?”. “He did come, Jesus did come to Bethlehem. And the Inn keeper said, “No, why, no, because if he ever came he would have surely stayed at my Inn, because I had the best inn in Bethlehem. No! Jesus never came to Bethlehem. I am sure!”

“No, He did come, Jesus really did come. Don’t you remember? On that cold night during the census…?”

And the old Inn keeper lifted his eyes up as if thinking back long ago….”No, I just don’t remember.” “Yes, the old man said. A man and a woman riding a donkey came from Galilee during the censes, and the woman was heavy with child.” “Oh, yes” the Inn keeper said, “I remember a young couple with a donkey. It was cold and late, and she was ready to give birth at any time, so they told me. But, you know, I had reserved my best room for the rich, so I told all the poor folks there was no rooms left in my inn, and for them to go elsewhere. But this poor couple begged me, so I let them sleep in the barn. And someone said that she gave birth that night…but, I really don’t know.”

“It was, that was Him.”

“ Who?”

“ That was Jesus.”

“ Who was Jesus?”

“ The baby that was born that night in your stable was Jesus. Jesus came to Bethlehem and came to your inn but you had no place for Him…”

And a deep sadness gripped the Inn keeper, as he thought back to that night, tears filled his eyes…. for the King of Kings had come to visit the Inn keeper, but he had just turned Him away.

Then the inn keeper spoke the saddest words ever,….”If I had only known…”

Seed for Dec 23

Israel acted out in real life the plan of God. One day a week they were to cease from their own labor and rest. They were to do no work. They were to relax and think about the goodness of God. They acted this drama out every week and were reminded to keep this covenant forever! The Bible says that what they did was only a shadow of the real thing. What was this day of rest speaking of? Are we to keep a day of rest? Is Sunday really a day of rest? Or is Saturday the real Sabbath? Are we Christians to keep the Sabbath? No! That was an example of the plan of God in a Christian's life. The real Sabbath, that Israel got no part of, was the "rest" experience of the Grace of God. When we, in reality, cease from our own labors (religious efforts) and enter into the real Rest of God, the true Sabbath, the Holy Ghost experience. I marvel at how many are so bewitched into believing they have to keep a day holy, when our experience in Him keeps everyday holy. Did we do away with the Sabbath day? No! Now everyday is our rest in Christ. We entered into the real "rest" of God, where we stop working to be good, and let God's grace declare us the "righteousness of God in Christ Jesus." Be blessed in the real Sabbath, the Holy Ghost of God. Are you keeping one day holy, or are you living the holy day everyday? It is Christ in Us, our only hope of holiness.

Be blessed,

Eccl 12:13-14
13 Let us hear the conclusion of the whole matter: Fear God, and keep his commandments: for this is the whole duty of man.
14 For God shall bring every work into judgment, with every secret thing, whether it be good, or whether it be evil.
(KJV)

This verse was written by the wisest man that ever lived. Solomon set his mind to know wisdom and foolishness, and the above verse was the result. Before we become elevated in our own imaginations as to just how important our denomination is let’s reflect for a minute. For the first 2,000 years there were no churches, denominations, no 10 commandments, and yet God had a people. For the next 2,000 God established His Law among a very small and select race of people, and then came Calvary. 300 years later the new church was plunged into the dark ages for 1300 years, where the Light (eye sight) of God people was put out by the Roman Church and men were bound by traditions and went around in religious circles. In the 1600’s God began to bring man out of darkness, and that is where many of our modern denomination were born. So even the oldest modern denomination, and “methods” of salvation are less than 400 years old. In the scope of time 400 is just a tiny portion of the whole, and yet God has always had a people. How did people get saved before your denomination existed? By faith, the same way we hope to enter in. Next time we think foolishly, “unless you are a member of my denomination and do it our way” you cannot be saved, remember your denomination is a relative newcomer to the earth. And God has always had a people. For by grace are you saved thru faith. Be blessed.

Seed for Dec 21

It is the Lord's good pleasure to give us the Kingdom. It is He that blesses us with blessing. It is He that lifted the curse, and brought us out of darkness into light. I am amazed in those that think they have earned the "blessings" of God. The blessing of God cannot be bought or sold. They are freely given to us by His grace. Grace means that they were not deserved or earned. It is not for something that I have done that God gives me all things pertaining to life and godliness. Nor for anything that I have done that He has made me to sit in heavenly places in Christ Jesus. Jesus became the curse, so that I could enjoy the blessing. I was not there when Adam sold out to Satan, yet I suffered, and I was not there when Jesus bought it all back, and yet I enjoy. So you see the way of the Lord is right. There are those that teach God has blessings on a string. You do good you "earn" a blessing. You do bad and you "earn" a curse. That is not "Good News," and that is not the gospel Paul preached. Jesus said it like this, "Freely you have received, so freely give." That is why I want to share what Jesus has given to me, with you. Be blessed.

"Beware of the leaven of the Pharisees." The disciples thought He was talking about bread, but He was talking about false teachings that were to come into the Church. After the apostles dies, men crept in unaware and sowed tares among the wheat. False doctrine took a strong hold in the first 300 years after Jesus, when politics married the Church. We have to make sure that our doctrine (teaching) aligns with the Word of God. It is not what "my Church teaches" or what "my Preacher says," but it is what the Word of God says. You have to hang your eternity upon faith in God's Word. There are many voices gone into the World and many sent to deceive. But we have a more sure Word of Prophecy, the Bible, and we do well to take heed to His Word. Man shall not live by natural bread alone, but by every Word that proceeds from the mouth of God. Be blessed.

Seed for Dec 19

There is a difference between faith and belief. Many people believe in God, but not all have faith. The Bible says faith has evidence and substance. Belief is only a mental acknowledgment. Our faith in God is demonstrated by the evidence and substance of our lives. We testify to our faith in our daily living. Everything we do in life gives testimony to what is really within. The Bible declares that what is in a man's heart comes out of his mouth. In other words, the very essence of our being is made manifest (evident) by our speech. Our speech betrays us, so to speak. Our lives are to be lights, if the True Light is resident within, and He only lives in us by faith. Let us not be hearers of the Word only, but let us be doers of the Living Word within. Let us give evidence and substance to the Life within. Let us show the world the Living God in His Body (us). Be blessed.

Prov 24:16
16 for though a righteous man falls seven times, he rises again, but the wicked are brought down by calamity.
(NIV)

Even though we might fall and fall again, the Lord will raise us up again. The Lord has broken the power of sin in our lives, and empowered us with His Spirit to walk in the Spirit and Light. As we learn to walk, we might stumble, and we might fall, (If any man sin we have an Advocate with the Father), but we know that we can confess, He is faithful and just to forgive and cleanse and we are again to rise to walk in newness of life.

The longer we walk in the Spirit, the better we become at following the leadings and promptings of the Spirit within. If our heart does not convict us, then we can have confidence. Too, many people trying to keep “rules” and not listening to the still small voice within. It is the leading of the heart we must follow. Jesus came breaking all their rules, eating with unwashed hands, healing on the Sabbath, and tempted in all manner common to man, yet without sin!

It is not the keeping of rules that causes us to walk in the Spirit, but the surrendering of will to the Spirit. Walk in the Light as He is in the Light, have fellowship with the brethren and the blood of Jesus is continually keeping us clean of all unrighteousness. We enjoy life and peace. Be blessed.

Seems often we memorize the wrong part of the verse. Let me give and example. “Oh, Wretched man that I am, I end up doing the things I don’t want to do, and am unable to do the things I want to do…” We stop there, as if we use this portion of verse to explain our “failure” in victorious Christian living.. Something like, “Well, if Paul couldn’t do it, then I sure can’t”!

Paul at the end of the 7th chapter of Romans was describing the problem the natural man has trying to follow the things of God. A wretched miserable failure! But of course we knew that from the beginning, when we understood, no man shall be declared not guilty by the keeping of the Commandments. The Law came to show us sin and convict us. Not to make us holy!

If the end of chapter 7 of Romans is the problem, then what is the solution? We should memorized the solution verses and not the problem verses. I am a wretched man, sold under sin (problem), but thru Jesus living in me (victory) I can walk in the Spirit and not fulfill the lust of the flesh, and live without condemnation! I can walk and live in victory everyday of my life, if I reckon myself dead, and allow the Spirit of Christ to live thru me. Jesus can and does live the well pleasing life thru me and victory is mine because why? I surrendered and died and He lives! That is the Victorious life the Christian (every Christian) is to enjoy. Romans 8:1-2 Instead of confessing defeat, confess the victory of Jesus living in you! Be blessed,

Samson's secret to his strength was not his hair. Most people believe that it was his hair that made him strong. But what really made Samson strong was his covenant relationship with God. From before his birth, his mother was commanded to keep certain rules to identify Samson as one in relationship with God. So his long uncut hair spoke of his covenant with God. When the hair was cut the covenant was broken, thus he lost his power. Christians are in covenant with God. It is that covenant that gives us supernatural strength. When that covenant relationship is broken we are weak as normal men. The Bible declares that the Joy of the Lord is our strength. We have joy with the Lord because we live by faith. When the enemy robs us of our joy, or causes us to lose faith, we become weak like normal men. What is the difference between a Christian and normal men? We have peace, love and joy the world knows not, which gives us feats of supernatural strength in the face of adversity. Anyone can be happy when nothing is going wrong. But we have happiness in the midst of the storm. What great strength! What great Joy! What a great blessing being bone of His bone and flesh of His flesh!

Be blessed,
Billy and Jan Wells

Seed for Dec 15

Walk in the Spirit and you will not fulfill the lust of the flesh. Ours is a walk in God, day by day. Everyday and every decision is to allow God to rule and reign over our lives and decisions. It is not a "hard" way of life. It is not a "work" but a "walk". If you find yourself struggling to walk in the Spirit you are obviously doing something wrong. The way of the "transgressor" is hard. But ours is a walk of the Life that flows from within. He is way is not hard, but burden light and yoke easy. His way is not confusing, but a walk of light and truth. His way is not grievous, but of peace and joy. By allowing the Life within to live thru me, I walk in the Spirit day by day hour by hour. Jesus is the Life within. Just as a bird does not struggle to fly because of the life within, I do not struggle to walk in the Spirit because of the Life within.

Be blessed,

Seed for Dec 14

God's grace offers free forgiveness of past sins, and no less a free gift is deliverance from present sin. Did He only forgive our past and leave us powerless over the present power of sin? It is often said among "Christians" that we must sin a little everyday. But that is quite the opposite of what Paul taught in the 6th Chapter of Romans. He taught that because we are crucified with Jesus, the power of sin is broken in our lives and we can live above sin! This is the good news we need to hear! Free from our past and free from the power of sin in our lives now! You don't have to sin a little everyday!

Could you image God to only halfway save us? Save you from your past sins, and leave you unsaved and powerless from present temptations? Let's hear Paul, "how can you that are DEAD TO SIN live in sin any longer?" "He that is dead is FREED from sin."

Be blessed,

Seed for Dec 13

We are all constantly changing. Life is about growing and changing. In like manner our spiritual life should be growing. The Word says to let this mind be in you that was in Christ Jesus. Again it says that we are changing from faith to faith, from grace to grace. As we grow on this Christian journey we have our minds changed (transformed) into the mind of Christ. Secret things of the Spirit are revealed to us, that have never been revealed to the carnal mind. What we will find as we grow in grace and knowledge of the Lord Jesus, is that our past thinking might have been wrong. That is why we are to hunger and thirst after "the right things of God". Tradition is a mortal enemy of Truth. We are warned that the Pharisees taught traditions of men, instead of the Word of God. We too must guard our minds against the "leaven of the Pharisees". And to desire truth in the inward parts. Our daily prayer should be, "God show me your way!!" Be blessed Billy and Jan Wells

Seed for Dec 12

We often hear it said, "I need to get closer to God". The fact is that God has not changed. He is always the same. He does not distance himself from us ever. The Bible says FAITH brings us to God. So what gives us a sense of God's nearness is Faith. We must believe that He is and that He is a rewarder of them that diligently seek Him. The enemy tricks us into believing that we don't "feel" close to God. Or that God has turned His back on us. Remember we can count on God's steadfastness, but "feelings" change like the wind. It is never how I "feel", but what He "said". It is my faith in His Word that brings me to Him. It is my faith in His Word that pleases Him, and not where I stand on the earth. It is not what I wear, or what I own, or what I know, or even who I am, that impresses God, but whether or not I believe His Word! He that comes to God must first believe that He is, and that He rewards those that seek Him. If you want to be near to God, then hear and obey His Word. Seek His face as you would a buried treasure. Love Him and tell Him just how you feel, and you will see His is not far from any of us. We live and move and have our being in Him. Be blessed. Billy and Jan Wells

Seed for Dec 11

You often hear is said among Christians that "I need more strength," or "Make me stronger, Lord." Etc. But in reality it has nothing to do with us. Jesus Christ is our Strength and Salvation. Instead of looking toward ourselves and our abilities, we must focus upon Him and His Word. The Promise is, "When you are weak, then I am strong." Just the opposite of most Christian prayers, wouldn't you say? His Strength is made perfect in our weakness...and if that be true then why would we ask to be made stronger? It is never about "self reliance" but our faith is upon Him that has promised. We take His Word and know that He will uphold it. He is our Promise and our Strength. Let's ask ourselves today, upon whom do we rely? Do we trust in the "arm of flesh" or in the "number of Israel" or in "chariots" or do we trust in the Name of the Lord our God! Be blessed.

Seed for Dec 10

Paul asked a profound statement to the Church in Rome. He asked, "Was Abraham justified in circumcision or in uncircumcision?" To us that mean little because we are confused as to whether we are talking about the natural circumcision of a man at birth or something else. But Paul is making a profound statement that we would all do well to take heed to. The real meaning behind the question is: was Abraham justified (declared not guilty/saved) in uncircumcision (without doing ANY religious act) or in circumcision (by performing a religious act). And the answer Paul gives is that Abraham was justified in uncircumcision (without any religious act/s). You see, some Jewish Christians were telling the Gentile church they could not be saved without circumcision (a religious act). And Paul was correcting this mistake.

Now if we were to apply that to us, spiritually speaking...the question would be, are we saved by doing some religious act, or are we saved by faith alone without do any religious act? The same answer holds true today, we are saved by faith "In uncircumcision / without any religious acts." Be blessed.

Rom 8:3
3 For what the law was powerless to do in that it was weakened by the sinful nature, God did by sending his own Son in the likeness of sinful man to be a sin offering. And so he condemned sin in sinful man,
(NIV)

What the Law could not do…because of the weakness of the flesh, Jesus has done. Jesus has made us the righteousness of God in Christ Jesus. Now, if we know that the Law is powerless to make one righteous (in right standing with God), then why in the world do we Christians saddle men with the bondage of law keeping? Touch not, taste not, handle not…etc! We know that the 10 commandments was a measuring rod, and that not one man could ever measure up to. No matter what we do, when we stand next to the 10 commandments we see ourselves coming up short. Why then do we burden God’s children with our own set of religious laws? We say “This is a holiness standard” (just another set of commandments) and present this new law to a believer and expect him to measure up. How foolish. If you yourself could not measure up to God’s 10, how do you expect a believer to measure up to your “standard”? If not one man ever measured up to the 10 commandments of God, how can we be so foolish as to expect men to live up to our “standard of holiness”? Instead of setting men free, we have put them into religious bondage. Instead of liberty, we now have dress standards. Instead of liberty, we now have prayer and bible study and fasting standards. Instead of liberty, we now have a list of religious rules that far exceeds the 10 commandments of God. We have preached liberty, but in reality put men into bondage. That is not the gospel of grace. What is the answer? Reckon yourself dead, and surrender your living body and will to Jesus to live thru you. Not by the rules I have kept, nothing but the blood of Jesus. Be blessed.

I am a free man! I am not governed by the "Thou shalt not...." but I am governed by the "Thy Shall...." I have noticed men who preach and don't have the “real” message always speak about rules, judgment, and condemnation. But we were given the ministry of reconciliation not condemnation. We are to speak grace and the love of God, not the judgments of God. The love of God constrains us, not the "thy shall nots" of religions! I have heard it said and it is worth repeating, if what we hear over the pulpit does not set us free, then, it is not the Truth. For we shall know the Truth and the Truth shall set us free! What are the "Thy shalls" that we are to minister? "You shall love the Lord your God with all your heart and you shall love your neighbor as yourself." Be blessed and be set free!

Seed for Dec 7

I am a free man! Free to serve the Lord in Spirit and Truth. Free to have Him lead and guide my life. Freed from the dictates of religious people who believe "will" worship will justify a man. Free from the power of sin. Free from confusion and worry. Free from doubt and fear. He has taken me as His son and promised to lead me, guide me, protect me, inspire me, heal me, cleanse me, strengthen me, empower me, and has translated me into the Kingdom of God. With the Creator of Heaven and Earth watching over me with the love of a mother hen...what do I have to fear or dread. No weapon formed against me shall prosper and all I put my hands to do He will bless. He is the lifter up of my head, the restorer of my soul, my guiding light, my solid rock, my healer and my God. Rejoice in the Lord and in the power of His might. Be blessed.

We are a blessed people. The people of God, who know His name (not Allah). His name was brought from heaven by the angels, and Paul called it the "family name" of everything in heaven and earth, the Lord Jesus Christ. "Who do men say that I am?" And the answer came, "You are the Christ (anointed flesh) of God." "Flesh and blood did not reveal that...and upon this rock (revelation) will I build my church." Well, some think the rock was Peter, others this and that, but Jesus made it plain that His Church was build upon the "revelation" of who He is. That is what separates Christians from the rest of the World. We know our God and know His name and we wear that name at spiritual circumcision, where it is "applied." Paul declared Him as the "unknown God" in Athens. For in Him we live and move and have our being. He made the world, was in the world and the world knew Him not. He came to His own (Jews) and they received Him not. But to as many as received Him, to them He gave the power to be come sons of God! It is Him in us our hope for glory! No matter what befalls us in life...we can call upon that name and be delivered, and there is just something about that name! We were made in His image (the fore thought of a completed plan)..."He was Spirit without a body" and we were "bodies without spirit," so that someday we would be married to Him and become One Body filled with His Spirit. And in that day the Lord shall be King over all the earth, and there shall be one Lord and His name one. And they shall look upon Him whom they have pierced and ask "Where did you get those nail prints in your hands?" And He will answer "In the house of my friends (Jews)." And then they will know! They missed the hour of Jehovah's visitation. It was Jesus! Be blessed.

The question in the Garden of Eden was, would Adam and Eve live of the Tree of Life, or would they try to be like God, and make their own decisions? The question for us is still, will we live of the Tree of Life, or spend our whole lives trying to decide what is right and wrong? The Lord never intended for His people to have to be burdened with trying to decide is this right or is this wrong, can we do this or not do that. But instead His plan was for us to live of the Tree of Life (the will of God). Still in our world today, most religious people are running around saying "This is right and this is wrong..." and they make whole denominations that specialize in "taste not, touch not, handle not". You hear the debates all the time, gay marriage, abortion, liquor, gambling, sex, TV, music. It is as if we are trying to legislate morality. The only thing that will work, or has ever worked, is having the Spirit of the Living God inside us guiding us into His will. You can keep all the "rules" and still be lost (without Life). So why does the Church spend so much time trying to decide right and wrong (eating of the tree of knowledge), instead of teaching the people to follow the leading of the still small voice within...that is, if He really is in you? Be blessed.

"Be not conformed to this world but be transformed by the renewing of your mind..."

When we were children we had Play-do. We could mold and shape that clay into any shape we wanted. We even had molds that you put the clay in and press real hard on the handle and bingo, your clay looked like what ever it was forced into. That is being conformed. Being conformed is being pressed into shape by an outside force. i.e. Forced into shape by your Preacher, religion, parents, peers, world, friends, family, and or temptation. But the Bible says do not be conformed to this world. Do not be shaped by the pressures of the world, as to be shaped by an outside force like the world is.

The other side of the coin is being transformed. A caterpillar is transformed into a butterfly. It is not outward pressure that changes the worm into something beautiful, but a transforming power within that causes it to change. One day a worm, the next a beautiful flying butterfly. How? Transforming power at work.

Have we taken on the shape of our “religion” by being pressed into that shape? Are we just conforming to the traditions of our “denomination”? Or has something really happened within that changed this worm into something beautiful? I was a son of Adam, by natural birth. Just a worm! But when God’s seed was planted into me, I became a Son of God by transforming power. I have been truly changed into His image. I am not conforming to mere rules of my religion. I truly am a New Creation! Be blessed.

What did it mean when Jesus said, “Any man that saves his life, loses it, and any man that loses his life, for my sake or the gospel, finds it”? What does it mean to lose your life? It all has to do with self-abandonment, or dying to self and allow Jesus to live in your stead. We live in a world of “I, me, me, mine” where life is all about “me”. It is as if the Universe revolves around “me”. But this is not so in the Christian life. We are to reckon ourselves dead. We are to lose our lives, and present a body (mine) to do His will. For He did not want the blood of bulls and goat, but a body to do His will. When my own life becomes a useless as a dead man, then God, by His Spirit, can manifest the life of Jesus in me. That is how one loses his life, and yet gains Life. We lose our Adamic, self-willed life, and count our selves as dead, and then present this little piece of clay to God to do His will in me, as it is done in heaven. Is that not the prayer of many church goers, “Thine will be done in earth (me) as it is in heaven…”? But few mean what they recite. Paul said, “Reckon yourself to be dead to sin, and alive to Christ”. That is the hidden secret of Christian living. Christ Jesus in me, living and doing His will in me, just as it is done in heaven. With me being dead, the resurrection Life will work in me. And that is His desire for all His creation! Be blessed.

Being a Christian is not about “acting” or “pretending”, or “trying” or “doing”, but it is about “knowing”. Paul put it this way:

Rom 6:3
3 Or don't you know that all of us who were baptized into Christ Jesus were baptized into his death?
(NIV)

Rom 6:6
6 For we know that our old self was crucified with him so that the body of sin might be done away with, that we should no longer be slaves to sin--
(NIV)

In simple terms: We were crucified with Christ, we died with Him to break the power of sin in our lives! That is a “truth” revealed in God’s Word, that we rarely hear preached, or taught. Why? It is rarely taught or preached either because of lack of knowledge or lack of faith. Once we see the “truth” in His Word and “reckon” it so, and put our faith in that revealed fact, then we operate under the power of God in us. It now becomes Him in me, the risen Jesus, living in me, planted by faith, and growing up into Him in all things! (I am to grow up into Jesus in all things, the Bible says) When I see me dead to sin, Him alive in me, then it is His power in me, transforming and empowering me, to live! I live, yet not I, but it is Jesus in me. The question is not will power, but “source”. Is it me living, working and doing, or is it really, as the Word declares, God in me? If it is God in me, then the power of the Universe is resident in me. If it is only me, then my faith is useless and worthless.
Be blessed.

There once was a cat that could pretend to be a dog. He could sit up, roll over, shake , lie down and even fetch. But when the cat opened his mouth…”Meow”…the truth was revealed!

There once was a man that pretended to be a Christian. He dressed right, went to church, carried a bible, and even did all his religious duties. But when he opened his mouth….


Matt 12:33-35
33 "Make a tree good and its fruit will be good, or make a tree bad and its fruit will be bad, for a tree is recognized by its fruit.
34 You brood of vipers, how can you who are evil say anything good? For out of the overflow of the heart the mouth speaks.
35 The good man brings good things out of the good stored up in him, and the evil man brings evil things out of the evil stored up in him.
(NIV)

Be blessed,
