Identity #11 Delivered, Transferred and Forgiven.


Colossians 1:13-4
13 He has delivered us from the power of darkness and transferred us into the kingdom of the Son of His love, 14 in whom we have redemption through His blood, the forgiveness of sins.

Delivered
Once humanity decided to live independent of God, our spirit's died. Like Adam and Eve, we completely lost our God consciousness. Fellowship with God was lost.  Sin, though it is not spoken of today, began to enslave people. Bad habits and lifestyles completely took control of each one. Without God, it became very easing to continue to fall into sin, and to be enslaved by it.  This escorted us into the darkness, isolated and separated us from God. We were unforgiven. We were condemned, and we were held captive by our darkened minds.We could not even see God's kingdom right in front of us; nevertheless, a deliverer who is much greater than the deliverer of Israel, Moses, came to our rescue. God became Emmanuel ... God with us. Jesus came to "Deliver us from All evil."  Darkness lost it's power over us. 

Transferred

Not only did the Lord deliver us, he gave us a transfer out of the Kingdom of darkness in to the Kingdom of the Son of his love ... The Kingdom of Light. He actually lit us up from the inside out, and he gave us a name. He called us "The Light of the World! This transfer put us above the authority of evil, darkness and sin. This transfer freed us from the chains that habitual sin laid on us. (See John 8:32-36) The Lord's truth set us free ... "Indeed." So, God delivered us and God transferred us. 

Redeemed or Forgiven.

So, Jesus delivered us for a power far greater than ourselves. I am talking about the insidious evil darkness. Jesus transferred us, as he resurrected our God conscious spirits ... effectively lighting us up from within, and he forgave us. Or as Hebrews 9:12 says, "It was neither by the blood of goats and calves, but by his own blood, he entered once and for all into the holiest place, having obtained eternal redemption." He purchased us out of the Kingdom of Darkness. He forgave us once and for all, and he did so eternally. He completely wiped clean the sin virus from the hard drive of our lives. For us older saints, he wiped the slate clean. God keeps no record of our sins.

How free are you today? How locked in place or trapped by life are you? Do you know that you are forgiven.

Y'all Be Blessed Today

American & "Pride"

Image
 THE MEGA PROBLEM OF "PRIDE" Our country, and especially our leaders, have stolen a God Covenant Symbol-- THE RAINBOW-- which declares God's judgment for unholy living will never be accomplished through flood waters; however,  this doesn't mean God will NOT judge a nation,  or planet that is sin filled and full of pride.  We are living in a time that Jesus describes, in the Bible,  as "The Days of Noah." He prophesied of our day being like the generation that caused God to regret HE had ever made human beings.  Why? The answer is simple: HE had this regret because of "PRIDE." How 🤔 is pride demonstrated? 1. Pride shows itself when people worship the creature rather than THE Creator. 2 . Pride is exemplified when people become the idols, and mere human pseudo truth & rules for life are contrary to Almighty God's Law, which human beings use to govern life. 3. Pride is seen in our irreverence for God's name via the confession of our mouth

We Can Be So Much More.

Image
   We Can Be So Much More:  Let us learn about the powerful identity God the Father gives us, through our being IN Christ Jesus by the power of The Holy Spirit. Let us embrace our God given Eternal Inheritance.  ( Ephesians 1:3-14)  Let us get up, each morning and give ourselves up to God. (Romans 12:1-2.)  Let us wake up! And practice Gods practice of putting off the deeds of darkness, of being empowered to behave decently, like people who live in the day time. (Romans 13:11-14) Let us cloth our selves, in Jesus, by putting on the full armor of God each day! This will make us strong in the Lord and in His mighty power, and it will give us all we need to stand against the Devil's schemes. (Ephesians 6:10-20) Let us submit to God, and resist the Devil so he will have to flee from us. (James 4:7) Learn all we can about the enemy and know he has no authority over us. But in Christ we have God's resurrection power flowing in us and through us. In Jesus Name 🙏  SoJourner

W A T C H O U T ! ! ! JESUS TEACHING ON LEADERS

Image
  Jesus Rock Solid Teaching Regarding Picking Leaders Matthew 7:15-23      "Watch out for false prophets! They come to you in sheep's clothing, but inwardly they are ferocious wolves!  By their fruits you shall recognize them!  Do people pick grapes from thorn bushes or figs from thistles? Likewise, every good tree bears good fruit, and every bad tree bears bad fruit. A good tree cannot bear bad fruit, and a bad tree cannot bear good fruit. Every tree that does NOT bear good fruit is cut down and thrown into the fire. Thus by their fruit you will recognize them. Not everyone who says to me 'Lord, Lord' will enter the Kingdom of Heaven, but ONLY those who do the will of my Father in Heaven. Many will say to me on the day they give account of their lives, 'Lord, Lord' did we not prophesy in your name, and in you name drive out demons, and in your name perform many miracles?  Then I will tell them plainly, ' I never knew you! Away from me, you evil doers!'
