“AS IF FROM ME”,

I want to start off by saying that I have had to do some major revamping of some things with the technical advice from the tech dept. at some social networks. Bottom line is I have a much more secure system and way of doing things. I am in the final stages of this project and will be back to normal soon.
I need to let everyone know that SOMEONE HACKED INTO some of my accounts and somehow have been able to send different types of messages “AS IF FROM ME”, even using my picture, account name and all - with links in the messages that I would not advise you click on. If you have gotten a message of any kind that doesn’t seem to be characteristic of me or my ministry it is because IT WAS NOT ME. There were NO VIRUSES ATTACHED to the messages; but I don’t know about the links. My spyware and antivirus popped up a warning when I tried to check one out to see what it was.

Some people do not like THE VICTORIOUS GOSPEL I am so thoroughly and irrefutably sharing through so many avenues, resources and methods. They cannot refute what I say in open debate so they are maliciously working behind the scenes to try and ruin my social networks, PC's, and my reputation. Which shows their true character by the way.

This is just a sign that my ministry is doing well and its purpose is being  accomplished. Sometimes we have to really annoy someone to get their full attention. Looks like I got it.... “IT’S ALL GOOD!”

A car that IS NOT MOVING, is not likely to get dirty or to come upon someone going the opposing direction.
Swimming downstream is still much easier even when "YOU KNOW" the treasure is upstream......

1 Corinthians 3:11-15 “TESTING IN PROGRESS”

1Co 3:11 For NO ONE CAN LAY ANY FOUNDATION other than THE ONE ALREADY LAYED, which is Jesus Christ.

1Co 3:12 If anyone BUILDS ON this foundation using gold, silver, costly stones, wood, hay or straw,

1Co 3:13-A THEIR WORK WILL BE SHOWN FOR WHAT IT IS, because the Day will bring it to light. It will be REVEALD BY FIRE,

1Cor 3:13-B the FIRE WILL TEST THE QUALITY of each person's work.

1Co 3:14 If what has been built survives, the builder will receive A REWARD

1Co 3:15 If it is burned up, THE BUILDER will suffer loss but yet “WILL BE SAVED”—even though only as one escaping through the flames.

Mar 9:49 "For “EVERYONE” will be salted with fire.

 

If you think you can lay a foundation for your life on Jesus Christ; think again…IT’S ALREADY LAYED! Not just for you but for ALL; Jesus Christ is the age-lasting foundation for all that has been or ever will be in this universe; Heb. 1:3. All you can do is to realize and believe this and began to build your life on it. We need to realize though, that our life’s work WILL BE TESTED! That’s what Jesus was talking about in Mark 9:49. The Apostle Paul makes this clear in this verse:

Gal 6:7 CLV “Be not deceived, God is not to be sneered at, for whatsoever a man may be sowing, this shall he be reaping also,”

It’s plain ole common sense; you cannot build a brick house with play doe and tooth picks. You may build something that “looks like” a brick house; but if it is inspected or tested it will be found out. In the same sense we will all either be rewarded for how we have lived our life or we will someday see what we could have had but lost because of our poor choices. This stands true in our present life that will someday end; as well as our spiritual life that will continue into eternity by the Grace of God through Christ Jesus.

Notice that the above verse concerning our sowing and reaping is in this most literal concordant version in the proper present tense as it was written; indicating that this is a present and ongoing principle. Also notice in today’s above verses 1COR 3:11-15 it does not say that if a person fails to build properly on the foundation of his life that he will “BURN FOREVER IN HELL” or “LOOSE HIS SALVATION”. It says that he would “SUFFER LOSS”; obviously meaning we could have had more had we built differently – common sense. Some even “barely making it”; I can relate to that cant you? Then notice that it says the very “OPPOSITE” of what traditional religion teaches; it says not that this person will burn in hell; but that “HE WILL BE SAVED” while suffering loss of some sort. Have you noticed how often I say “it says the very OPPOSITE of traditional doctrine”. How is it that so many plain scriptures - as you will continue to see in the upcoming 12 months - have been understood completely backward? Hmmm? It is so plain now, I have often wondered how I missed it for so many years….(psst its called revelation – without it you cannot understand spiritual things 1Cor. 2:14) I’ll just throw this one in for free today from the “Analytical-Literal Translation”; most people can quote by heart John 3:16, but don’t have a clue what the very next verse says -

John 3:17 ALT "For God did NOT send His Son into the world so that He SHOULD JUDGE the world, _but_ so that “THE WORLD” “SHALL BE SAVED” THROUGH HIM. Not just “some” of the world……

1Corinthians 5:5 “IS GOD BAD?”

Are all bad things that happen to us from the devil and were never Gods doing or will?

Does God bring bad things in our life to teach us a lesson?

These two questions have weighed heavily on the mind of many that have pondered the ways of God. There seems to be a conflict of ideas here. I really used to struggle with these two philosophies myself. Although now I see them in a different light after much study with the foundation for all my conclusions to be that God is Omnipotent, Omniscient, Omnipresent, Sovereign over all, loves all, and shows no partiality at all. I really have come to believe that God is Good all the time whether we realize it at the time or not. The Bible states all these conclusions as fact concerning the attributes and nature of God. So we have to accept them as truth which never changes. If any teaching , idea thought, or church doctrine causes God to come short in any one of these characteristics or attributes then it “CANNOT” be true. Here is a thought that came to me as I prayerfully contemplated these things; I believe it was from the Holy Spirit.

Have “you” ever had to discipline your children and said “I really don’t want to do this”? So it was your will from one way of thinking but still at the same time it was not your will in another way of thinking. Well what you had to do and did was not your “supreme will” but being a good parent you had to act out of your “present will” for the good of the child even though it would not seem so to the child. So in this incident it was not the discipline itself or the tool used to bring about the disciplines needed results. But the necessary action of your will in using the disciplinary tool or allowing it to be used to accomplish the needed out come for the good of the child. Therefore it was an act of love and goodwill on your part toward the child regardless of the child’s or your feelings at the time.

These trials we endure are to be understood in light of God although being Sovereign and Omnipotent, is acting out of the Omniscient mind of God; seeing and knowing all things from beginning to end at all times and working for the good of each one within the circumstances of our life that we played a part in bringing about. We are not completely blameless here; we do have free will to a point; and sometimes we don’t use it too wisely. Although our free will could never overrule Gods Sovereign will otherwise He would not really be sovereign. In other words if God said he would save you, He will save you regardless of your resistance or your choosing not to be. It is the will of God that ALL will be saved and He will bring this about in whatever way it takes to accomplish it; some of that will depend on your willingness to obey the will of God which will be a much easier path; or your resistance and stubbornness to follow what you know to be right which will of course bring about the above situation which will not be as comfortable for you; or God for that matter. But He is a good father and will do what is best for His children.

So that leads me to the “Universal Salvation” verse for the day which is a very good example and similar situation to what I have been discussing here.

Here is a man that had actually been committing incest and it is brought to the Apostle Paul’s attention. Paul knew and taught more than any other biblical writer that God would save all mankind; having been the only apostle given the full revelation of the plan and redemptive purposes of God. Here is what is answer was to those who had brought this problem to him to deal with.

1Co 5:5 NIV hand this man over to Satan, so that the sinful nature (flesh) may be destroyed and “HIS SPIRIT SAVED” on the day of the Lord.

You see Satan is not all powerful and almost equal with God as some suppose. God is not in a battle with Satan; if he were it would not last two seconds. Satan is just another tool in the hand of the Almighty God who created him and has all things under His control and uses them within their particular nature and inclinations for His own Good Will.

And so ALL MANKIND WILL BE SAVED; it is just which path you choose to take that will determine how comfortable you will be on the way. Did God know beforehand what you would do? You bet he did. Did that make Him responsible? In one way yes, being almighty; but then he used his divinity to bring about your salvation in the end. Does that mean you’re not responsible? No way, you’re not getting out that easy; God will not be mocked,; you will reap what you sow….
