Abundant...

My Lord:

Nothing new, another day to put myself in remembrance of what is the simple Truth. To be diligent in the pursuit of what I love. Forget not, if you do not fight you will forget what you were fighting for. So then, again.

The Grace of our Lord was exceedingly abundant WITH FAITH AND LOVE, which is in Christ Jesus.

Again,

Grace was abundant, grace being the teaching of denying thyself and taking up thine own cross and following after Christ Jesus. Grace, teaching one to refuse the evil and choose the good. Grace teaching to call evil evil and good good. Grace teaching to deny ungodliness and worldly lusts. Grace teaching to walk in the Spirit and not the flesh. Grace teaching one to live now in this present world to live soberly, righteously and godly.

Again, what is the abundance, Grace. What does the Grace of God contain? Teaching. What is being taught by Grace is faith and love and it is abundant. Grace abundantly proves that the Law is love, that they Commandments are love expressed. Expressed by both, God and man, they who will be a doer of what is required. If you are denying yourself, you are showing faith is faithful and that it is out of love that it works. Faith is filled through obedience to that which ye yield yourself servants to obey.

What are the quality's of faith and love found in grace? Faithfulness, loyalty, monogamy, sincerity, trusty, obedience and many more...

Taking up thine own cross and bearing it is an act of faith being faithful and that it works by love. For out of love one obeys from the heart the doctrine received of God Almighty. Christ was abundantly faithful, for He obeyed the Father. He denied Himself, He willingly allowed Himself to be hung upon a tree, and He followed the love of the Father, the Commandments. Christ denied ungodliness and worldly lusts and Christ lived a sober life, with all gravity and sincerity to the Truth. He lived righteously and godly, taking nothing lightly. He was about the business of the Father and the saving of Life from death.

By obeying what is required of anyone who will follow after the Truth, one is bearing the abundance of the Truth in them, the living waters that flow from the heart of them that love the Truth and obey it, Christ is the Truth. By doing what is required, denying ungodliness and worldly lusts, living soberly, righteously and godly lives in this present world, one is expressing a faith that works by love and is being proven by their deeds, actions, works of the very Law, the Commandments given. Not by the works of the flesh, but by the works of the Spirit. Not by walking in the flesh, but by walking in the Spirit. Not by sacrifice of the flesh, but by the sacrifice of the Spirit. Not by the Law that was against us all and nailed to the cross, for Christ did fulfill this Law, once and for all, THAT IS FINISHED. Never to be done again!

It is all I can see everywhere I read. The cup that overflows is obeying from the heart out of love. This is the abundance which is in Christ Jesus. This is the abundance in them that are in Christ. He was faithful, is faithful and they whom love Him are likewise faithful to keep what has been said and written in a book. A book that testifies of Christ, for them that think they find Life in the book, when it is in Christ. Reading means nothing but one applies it by action, by deeds, by works. Can faith save you without the works? No it can not. Faith must be filled and overflowing in the abundance of the Commandments. Faith must have what added to it? Virtue, knowledge, temperance, patience, godliness, brotherly kindness, charity/love.

The message does not change, it is written over and over and over again in many ways, but saying the same thing. It was said in the beginning and it is said at the end. No new Commandment, just what has always been heard. If you love Me, feed My sheep. The Manna that fell from the heavens was Christ and it was the same every day, it did not change. Do what is right and by the love of God; what is right has been told to you, given to you, expressed to you. Not for your harm, but for your good. God expressed His love through His Word and man expresses their love by keeping His Word. If you love Christ, tell them the Truth, tell them about Him. It is plainly simple, if you Love Me, keep My Commandments. If you love Me, feed My sheep. If you love Me, obey Me. If you call me Lord, then do as I have asked, said, say, did, shown you through the righteous of Him, that righteous example, that pattern to be followed. Step as stepped.

2 Corinthians 12:18, " I desired Titus, and with him I sent a brother. Did Titus make a gain of you? walked we not in the same spirit? walked we not in the same steps? "

Setup a standard says the same thing as any one part of it. Again, like a pie, no matter how you slice it, it is the same pie. If you love Him, whose standard will you setup and keep? Not mans but you love the flesh. The Lords if ye love the Lord. The standard is written in many ways, yet it is just the same standard. If you Name the Name of the Lord, depart from iniquity. Fear God and keep the Commandments. The sum of it all, the whole of the matter. What must be done and what has been shown must be done, to be just, love mercy and walk humbly with God. The Truth that made Felix tremble, righteousness, temperance and the judgement to come. The righteous example given, you must possess your bodies, bring them into subjection, submit thyself unto God (whatever way you need it described to you to understand, pick one), have self control, for you are, you will, be judged by your works, actions, deeds, it is sin unto death or obedience unto righteousness. It is patently simple, this is the same Manna that fell from heaven to feed them. The Lord is forever the same yesterday, today and tomorrow.

The abundance of the Grace of God found in that which is His grace. He chastens them He loves and he loves them that love Him as written. Yes He loved the world enough to give His Son to die for it so all have the chance to come to the Truth. But He does not love wickedness and the wicked will not enter into the Kingdom and He surely is not sending anyone He loves to hell. The standard of God is not a vain imagination of men. It is what it is, judgement, mercy and faith. To obtain, one must run a race, fight a war, dig deep, strive, prove, stand fast, hold fast, affirm, be diligent, it must be constantly gone over. This world will rob you the second you allow it to overcome you. One word at a time, it will strip you of all that is truly good. The second you allow temptation to tempt you away from standing fast and holding that line, that standard. It will silence you, it will prevent you from speaking, from feeding the sheep. For if you Love Him, you will obey Him and if you are walking outside of Him you will cease to speak of Him, the steps will not be one. This world distracts in so many ways and the god of this wicked world is come only to steal, kill and destroy. Even if it be one word at a time. It can not give what is does not possess, it can not give life, it is death. No one can give what they do not have. It contains death and nothing else and no matter how many tv programs that try and make it look good, pleasant and to be desired, or to have sympathy for the devil, it is a trick, a lie.

1 Timothy 1:14, " And the grace of our Lord was exceeding abundant with faith and love which is in Christ Jesus. "

Deny ungodliness and worldly lusts, live soberly, righteously and godly lives in this present world. This being done is an abundance of faith and love. It is abundance of a faith working by love and being proven by deeds. It is an abundance of proof to whom ye yield yourself servants to obey, is Christ Jesus or is it something else? It answers the question abundantly, sin unto death or obedience unto righteousness? That free will nature given to all men, to choose to call evil good, pleasant and to be desired or to call what is good, good, pleasant and to be desired.

Food, faith must be unfeigned, the opposite of feigned, not fake, not a pretense, not pretending, it must be genuine. So with this understanding one is always driving the Truth home of what faith is truly. Hammer it home till the nail is driven in all the way. It is not merely a word, it is a word that has virtue added to it. To add virtue to something is to make that thing effectual, it is putting into operation the word. To have faith in whatever it may be, is that which guides ones life in that thing which ones faith is placed. It provides proof, a fact of ones state of being. Does what you say you have faith in effect your life as one confesses? Do you strive for that which you have faith in? Are you in pursuit of it that which ye truly love and what is that which ye truly love?

Christ was the spotless Lamb of God and who strives for it, that perfection? To keep the Commandments without spot, to be unrebukeable until the appearing of the Lord. It states without question what Christ already said, to endure till end, and only them that do will be saved in the end. At what point does one get sick of eating part of the Truth? At what point does one say enough with the excuses, with the placations of sin in ones life by so called preachers of the Truth? Placated, always being told how one can never obtain that which is written must be striven for, to be holy, godly, righteous, patient, meek, faithful, and love which is charity and keeping the Commandments. True unfeigned love that keeps the Commandments, that walks after them, walks in them, without blemish, wrinkle or spot, blameless. Who strives for this perfection? Why is the word perfection hated among anyone who professes love for the Truth that is Christ? DOUBT. UNBELIEF. If you do not truly believe your fruit is what? Doubt. O why did you doubt Peter? Why would anyone love anyone and not desire to be perfect for that which is loved most of all in their heart?

What words make you rise to the standard and what words make you doubt the standard? People will clean their cars, their houses and maintain their appearance with absolute diligence unfeigned. Keeping them spotless, keeping them perfect. They have no issue in that pursuit, in the time it takes to keep, maintain, do, doing the works to obtain that end result. The longer one puts it off, the worse it becomes, the more work it will take to put it back to the standard setup. What is sown is reaped, what have ye sown? Ability? Doubt?

Be ye perfect, does it cause you to faint? Or is it that your heart truly does not desire it? Who really believes Christ asked of anyone what they were incapable of doing? That would be unjust and yet we know He is perfectly just, fair and equal.

Walk as He walked, out on His mind, step as one. He was without blemish and without spot. Why would one not strive for this righteous example given? Who would say not to? Why would anyone try to diminish perfection but they be standing against it?

1 Peter 1:19, " But with the precious blood of Christ, as of a lamb without blemish and without spot: "

Why say "KEEP THIS COMMANDMENT WITHOUT SPOT" if by the witness I hear, from what pretends to be the church is true? If the sellers of doubt, of inability are right, then why tell anyone to do something that can not be done? To be unrebukeable. To be unrebukeable not just for a day or two, or sometimes but always and look what it says, "UNTIL CHRIST COMES", which is until the end. To do it till the end of the race. To do as Christ made perfectly clear to be done; they who endure till the end will be saved. No one else is receiving what they did not sow.

1 Timothy 6:14, " That thou keep this commandment without spot, unrebukeable, until the appearing of our Lord Jesus Christ: "

Christ has the hopes of presenting a glorious church (that is you), not having SPOT, or WRINKLE, OR ANY SUCH THING. Christ has the expectation of a church (you) being HOLY AND WITHOUT BLEMISH. So then what is your expectation of yourself, your church, your temple, your house, your tabernacle? Is it filthy, abounding in the rotting stench of the mire? Or is it clean, kept clean through diligence waiting for the return of that which you love with all thy heart? And keeping it clean till the end, that end being His return!

Ephesians 5:27, " That he might present it to himself a glorious church, not having spot, or wrinkle, or any such thing; but that it should be holy and without blemish. "

Peter writes after Christ finished His works, "seeing that ye look for such things". Looking for what? The coming of the Day of God, new heavens, and a new earth, that will dwell in RIGHTEOUSNESS forever and ever. Seeing that you are looking for the the return of the Lord God Almighty and all that is promised. We are told to be "DOING" something, be diligent to be found in peace and WITHOUT spot and blameless. Did Peter make a mistake, that there is something not finished already for us and that we had to be "DOING" something? If Christ finished it all as the fake churches endlessly sell. Then why does Peter and Paul and all the disciples tell us to continue working well after Christ finished His works? Who is lying, someone is?

2 Peter 3:14, " Wherefore, beloved, seeing that ye look for such things, be diligent that ye may be found of him in peace, without spot, and blameless. "

Back to that book of solid steel. A by product of true faith is works, and by works is faith. By works a faith is perfected by virtue added to that faith it becomes a perfect thing. I demand perfection, I demand it of myself. I accept nothing less, will not allow anyone tell me I can not have what is written to be. I reject the words of them that hate the Truth, that doubt it, that make provisions as to why none can ever be what is written to be. Westminster confession and all that have built upon such a filthy concept of "NEVER BEING ABLE, EVER". I have no part with them for we have nothing to share, nothing in common. I flee from them, I escape them and withdraw myself. Christ said be ye perfect as the Father and no matter how miserable or happy I am chasing that, I will chase it. I will chase it till the appearing of Christ for that is what the WORK is, for it was not finished for me, done for me, obeyed for me, all paid for me. What I sow I will reap, Christ set me free indeed to chase after this. Not this sorry excuse that I can not do what must be done, ever nonsense. For by works faith is perfected and we are to be perfect as the Father is perfect in faithfulness. Anything less, is....

James 2:22, " Seest thou how faith wrought with his works, and by works was faith made perfect? "

Matthew 5:48, " Be ye therefore perfect, even as your Father which is in heaven is perfect. "

To be ye holy as the Father is holy. Not one time in all the book of the Lord does it say one can not obtain what is written in the book of the Lord. So how then does anyone teach any that they are never able? How can anyone sell a license to sin, imbued righteousness, sin nature, born to sin and born in sin. How can anyone not hear the contradictions in these false ideologies? You can not have imputed righteousness and a sin nature at the same time, one must cancel the other out. There is no such thing as a sinning saint. There are saints who were sinners but were born again. That is entirely two different things. Heaven is not filled with sinners, it is filled with born again saints of God. We are not loved just the way we are, or there would be no cause to be born again. All are not loved for He loves them that love Him. Hell is not filled with the souls loved by God. If they Truth offends you then you are an offense.

Leviticus 20:7, " Sanctify yourselves therefore, and be ye holy: for I am the LORD your God. "

1 Peter 1:15, " But as he which hath called you is holy, so be ye holy in all manner of conversation;

1 Peter 1:16 Because it is written, Be ye holy; for I am holy. "

It is an abundance of faithfulness, of sincerity, of loyalty, of Truth, of trust, of monogamy, of obedience. The cup runneth over, that which the Lord gives is more than enough. But you take hold of it and run with it, or you will not be able. If doubt is your belief then that is what you will reap, that cup will not overflow, it will be empty. An empty faith will not deny the lust of the flesh but it will wallow in it. It will not live soberly, righteously and godly in this present world. It will live believing it can not be these thing, never, ever able as so many sell. It will be filled with provisions, excuses, lies, reasons for never being able to keep, maintain and do. It will have an abundance of vain imaginations, traditions and commandments of men. All which will gain you nothing but a certain fiery destruction that is coming. A train is coming, it is speeding towards us and nothing will stop it. If you do not cease from the error of the wicked you will step in front of the train even though many are yelling and screaming "STOP WHILE THERE IS TIME, REPENT"....

I tell you, Repent and make the Way straight. For with Christ you are able to do all things. You are able to obey from the heart. You are able to Go and Sin No More. You are able to pay the cost and there is a cost to be paid still. If you doubt this, you will be offended upon discovering the Truth. If you continue to by from the sellers of lies and doubt, you will never find the Truth. For few findeth, but many go the way of destruction. It will be understood by all that go the way of destruction, that they chose it and that fire will burn within them hotter then molten rock. I tell you as I was shown and felt, being separated from the Lord is far worse then any imagination can imagine. I warn you all, I tell you the Truth, I lie not. I was shown it and I do not want anyone to go to hell. No one has to go, Repent. For life is but a vapor and the time is much shorter than thought. For the time is at hand, it is always at hand; tomorrow is promised to no man. Who knows if tomorrow thy soul will be required of God?

I do beseech, beg and gladly do so, Repent. It is not just a change of mind, it is not just confessing. It is not just believing, it is not just forsaking. It is not just fallowing the ground of the heart and preparing it. It is all of these things and more. Make ye the Way straight.

Matthew 7:13, " Enter ye in at the strait gate: for wide is the gate, and broad is the way, that leadeth to destruction, and many there be which go in thereat:

Matthew 7:14 Because strait is the gate, and narrow is the way, which leadeth unto life, and few there be that find it. "

Come to know the whole of the Truth and then we labor all the more. For Paul did not say it was not of works, He said it was not of the works of the Law. The Law Christ did fulfill and finish upon the cross. For Paul surely labored all the more for he murdered the church, the people of God. If it was not of work as the many say, then why did they all continue to work, to labor? Why suffer being wiped and put into cages and face death daily. He did not die daily to sin, he died to it once and went about the works.

2 Corinthians 11:23, " Are they ministers of Christ? (I speak as a fool) I am more; in labours more abundant, in stripes above measure, in prisons more frequent, in deaths oft. "

That abundant grace is not some never ending forgiveness, never ending pardon, unmerited favor and all the foolishness that is applied to it. Yes grace is mercy, but it teaches. The abundant teachings found in grace through being thankful for the mercy given. That this may be for the glory of God. One going and sinning no more and obeying the Commandments out of love. This is truly gain, for you and for the glory that is God. The ornament of holiness about thy necks. The beauty of God about thee, a standard held, a banner flown for all to see. Yes you can Go and Sin No More. Yes you are able through Christ to do all that must be done. All for the glory of the Father Amen.

2 Corinthians 4:15, " For all things are for your sakes, that the abundant grace might through the thanksgiving of many redound to the glory of God. "

They who receive the abundance of grace and in that finding the Truth. They who do righteousness are righteous even as Christ is. The gift found in the keeping, the maintaining is righteousness and Gods face is upon the righteous. God loves righteousness. This reigns in Life by one, Jesus Christ. He who shinned the light upon the Way to the Truth to have Life and have it more abundantly Amen.

Romans 5:17, " For if by one man's offence death reigned by one; much more they which receive abundance of grace and of the gift of righteousness shall reign in life by one, Jesus Christ.) "

Psalms 45:7, " Thou lovest righteousness, and hatest wickedness: therefore God, thy God, hath anointed thee with the oil of gladness above thy fellows. "

By doing that which is right, by following Him that shinned that light, O God of my righteousness.

Psalms 4:1, " Hear me when I call, O God of my righteousness: thou hast enlarged me when I was in distress; have mercy upon me, and hear my prayer. "

If one will hear and follow, one will prosper truly in the riches of God Almighty, one will be that jewel made up by His hand. For I have nothing to boast but Christ. For Christ set me free indeed to do of His good pleasure, not I. I heard the call and I answered. Seven years near now and I stand fast upon the Rock. I maintain that which I was given by diligence. Who will teach thee to profit and go by the Way that thou should? Who will hear the Commandments and obey them? Whose peace will be a river and the waves of the sea? Imagine such abundance as a flowing river, look how simple it is for God to make a river flow for all time. Truly consider the effort all mankind would have to go through to just make one river flow for any amount of time. Consider the many waves that have been and will be, how abundant they are, so great man desires to harness and to do so by their own wisdom, when it truly could be so by simple Truth. If ye love Me, keep My Commandments. But so many desire to take it by force, rather then do what ought to be done. Submit thyself to God and do of His good, acceptable and perfect will. Who can say without being told what that is? Who has put in the effort, the diligence, the desire of thine heart is what?

Isaiah 48:17, " Thus saith the LORD, thy Redeemer, the Holy One of Israel; I am the LORD thy God which teacheth thee to profit, which leadeth thee by the way that thou shouldest go.

Isaiah 48:18 O that thou hadst hearkened to my commandments! then had thy peace been as a river, and thy righteousness as the waves of the sea: "

It is all written in a book for them that fear Him and think upon His Name. They shall be His, jewels made up by His hand, spared as a man that spareth his own son that serveth him. Who is it that serves Him and who is it that serves Him not?

Malachi 3:16, " Then they that feared the LORD spake often one to another: and the LORD hearkened, and heard it, and a book of remembrance was written before him for them that feared the LORD, and that thought upon his name.

Malachi 3:17 And they shall be mine, saith the LORD of hosts, in that day when I make up my jewels; and I will spare them, as a man spareth his own son that serveth him.

Malachi 3:18 Then shall ye return, and discern between the righteous and the wicked, between him that serveth God and him that serveth him not. "

Are ye able? Ye Lord we are able!

This day is the Lords day, it is not any other day. This day God rested. This day was sanctified by God. This day was made holy by God. This day is the day of rest. This day was made for man and not man for it. This day is the seventh day. This day is the fourth Commandment. This is the day a rest remaineth for the people of God. This is the Sabbath, keep it holy....

It is remission and not permission.

Seek, Repent and Sin No More...

We are the words we speak and they are of self. For out of the heart the mouth speaks of the abundance.

Blessed be the Name of the Lord Amen and Amen...
