 BEWARE

It's not saints who have gone before who hear our prayers. It's not Mary who bore the Messiah who answers our cries. That is because they cannot save a soul. That is not their purpose. Examples of believing God and taking Him at His Word, yes; Hebrews chapter 11 makes that clear. But remember, there was no other person who ever walked the earth that was sinless save Jesus Christ of Nazaeth, the Holy One of Israel.

No prophet, no Apostle, no pastor or teacher, and none of those who followed Jesus Christ during His Incarnate mission of redemption were sinless, not even His earthly Mother, Mary. Jesus Christ died and rose again to redeem even His earthly Mother. For ALL had sinned and fallen short of the Lord's glory and the Lord, God the Father, laid on Jesus the inequity of us all on the cross. There He died our deserved death so that, by the Holy Spirit, we might be born from above, forgiven of all our sin and rebellion.
Salvation come from the Holy Trinity alone. God alone saves. He alone redeems, heals, delivers, restores and transforms through the finished work of Jesus Christ alone and in the Holy Spirit's omnipotent power alone, the power of Resurrection. Only God saves. No mere mortal being in heaven or on earth can save. The Church Triumphant, those believers in heaven neither hear nor answer our prayers. They cannot save us to any degree for they are not God. Call on Jesus Christ. God has given us direct access to His Presence in Jesus' Name. Draw near to God alone. He is the One who answers prayer. He alone can save you.

 HIS POWER...HIS PROMISE Helping people walk in the Spirit the devotional below is seminal! The devotion below is today from Oswald Chambers. I makes me think of some I have known that have assumed that the Lord doesn’t want them empowered by the Holy Spirit or that He won’t manifest Himself in them because they have reasoned otherwise. Given ministry opportunities to have the Holy Spirit confirm the Word of God with demonstration of the Holy Spirit and power, they rely on how they feel, their experience thus far and not on the reality that the will of God in mission and ministry is either done in the Holy Spirit’s Power or not at all. Our capacity to do what Jesus does has nothing to do with our imagined capacity, but upon the indwelling power of God through is. Now to Him who is able to do far above and beyond what we could ever imagine or think, by His power at work in us now, to Him be glory…   Matthew 25:14-30 Jesus told the parable of the bags of gold as a warning ...

 HE IS RISEN! IT IS FINISHED! After the Israelites had passed through the Red Sea by God opening the way for them to be saved, the whole of Pharoah's army, his horsemen and chariots pursued God's people into the opened way. Once they were all in, the waters flowed back into their place with suddenness and fury. Not one of the enemies survived. All perished in those waters. When Jesus Christ hung on the cross, all that sin contained, the full measure of the rebellion of mankind for all time, all the wickedness that was ever in human hearts were absorbed into the Lamb of God as He died our death, received our just judgement from God for all time, taking all that sin and death contained. In Him, sin and death died once and for all. They were overwhelmed, covered and drowned in the sea of His precious blood, poured out for the sin of the whole world. Not one enemy remained alive, all were stripped of their power to hold us in slavery to sin any longer. All their weapons were confis...

HEARING MUST BE UNITED TO BELIEVING Hebrews 3:16-19 “And who was it who rebelled against God, even though they heard His voice? Wasn’t it the people Moses led out of Egypt? And who made God angry for forty years? Wasn’t it the people who sinned, whose corpses lay in the wilderness? And to whom was God speaking when He took an oath that they would never enter His rest? Wasn’t it the people who disobeyed Him? So, we see that because of their unbelief they were not able to enter His rest.” I have heard people say, “If I heard the voice of God. I would not rebel; I’d believe.” Others have said, “If I saw a miracle, I’d believe.” We really do not have a grip on the capacity for unbelief that is resident in the human heart and mind. The children of Israel saw God decimate the false gods of Egypt in the plagues He sent through Moses. The Lord God who had called Abraham made sure that Abraham’s children saw that the gods and religious culture surrounding them for 400 years were not gods at all...
