GODS DIVINE HAND INTERPOSED IN HUMAN AFFAIRS TO ACCOMPLISH HIS - TopicsExpress

GODS DIVINE HAND INTERPOSED IN HUMAN AFFAIRS TO ACCOMPLISH HIS WILL & TO INTRODUCE HIMSELF & HIS CHARACTER TO THE WORLD IN A MARKED WAY THROUGH JOSEPH WHO REFLECTED THE DIVINE NATURE OF GOD IN HIS LIFE AS DEVELOPED BY THE HOLY SPIRIT WORKING IN HIM WITH HIS COOPERATION. 1 PETER 2: 21 For even hereunto were ye called: because Christ also suffered for us, leaving us an example, that ye should follow his steps: Who did no sin, neither was guile found in his mouth: 23 Who, when he was reviled, reviled not again; when he suffered, he threatened not; but committed himself to him that judgeth righteously: Who his own self bare our sins in his own body on the tree, that we, being dead to sins, should live unto righteousness: by whose stripes ye were healed. WHAT IS SIN? ANYTHING WE DO THAT ISNT DONE FOLLOWING THE BIBLICAL PRINCIPLE FOUND IN ROMANS 6:11 OR JOHN 3: 14 OR JESUS WORDS “ DENY YOURSELF, TAKE UP YOUR CROSS, & FOLLOW ME” & I WILL THROUGH MY SPIRIT MAKE YOU AS LITTLE CHILDREN AS JOSEPH WAS TRANSFORMED INTO. WE HAVE TIME TO COMPARE OUR OWN EXPERIENCE TO THIS EXAMPLE OF JOSEPH WHICH WILL LEAD TO COMPARING OURSELVES TO JESUS. PHIL 2: 5 Let this mind be in you, which was also in Christ Jesus: Who, being in the form of God, thought it not robbery to be equal with God: But made himself of no reputation, and took upon him the form of a servant, and was made in the likeness of men: And being found in fashion as a man, he humbled himself, and became obedient unto death, even the death of the cross. Wherefore God also hath highly exalted him, and given him a name which is above every name: I BELIEVE WHAT MY BIBLE TELLS ME. WRITTEN 2000 YRS AGO REVELATION 3 CLEARLY SAYS THAT TODAYS CHRISTIAN WILL “THINK” OR BE CONVINCED THT THEY HAVE “NEED OF NOTHING”. THAT INCLUDES THE 3 ESSENTIAL ELEMENTS OF GOLD, EYESALVE, & WHITE RAINMENT. ALL 3 OF THESE ARE IMPARTED BY THE HOLY SPIRIT THROUGH THE NEW BIRTH. THEY ARE NOT SOMETHING WE PRODUCE BY TRYING TO LIVE BY PRINCIPLE. I CAN TRY TO LIVE BY PRINCIPLE AS JOSEPH DID & IT WILL NOT GIVE ME THE NEW BIRTH. THE HOLY SPIRIT IMPARTS THIS NEW POWER & LIFE ONLY WHEN IT SEES US “LOOKING TOWARD OUR SAVIOR” IN SNAKEBITTEN DESPERATION AS NUMBERS 21:4-8 DESCRIBE. THE HOLY SPIRITS WORK IS TO LEAD US TO THIS HOPELESS, DESPERATE, SNAKEBITTEN CONDITION. WHEN WE REALIZE OUR HELPLESSNESS TO HEAL OURSELVES THEN & ONLY THEN WILL WE GIVE UP & JUST “LOOK”. THIS IS WHAT JOSEPH DID OR HE WOULDNT HAVE BEEN TRANFORMED BY GRACE. IF HE DID THIS CHANGE ON HIS OWN POWER THEN HE WOULD NOT HAVE BEEN ACCEPTABLE TO GOD BECAUSE “ALL HAVE SINNED & COME SHORT OF THE GLORY OF GOD”. “THERE IS NONE GOOD NO NOT ONE”. WHAT THE BIBLE SAYS IN ONE PLACE IS THE SAME IN ALL OTHER PLACES, PERIOD. WHAT HAPPENED INSIDE OF JOSEPHS MIND WAS A RESULT OF THE IMPARTED POWER OF THE HOLY SPIRIT AS HE LOOKED TO HIS SAVIOR, NEVER AS A RESULT OF HIS DECIDING TO TRUST GOD. THAT DECISION WAS A RESULT OF THE HOLY SPIRIT IMPARTING THE POWER TO MAKE THAT DECISION. IT IS ON THIS ONE POINT THAT SATAN HAS CONFUSED & DECEIVED MOST CHRISTIANS TODAY. FACTOR THIS INTO LAODECIAS THINKING THAT THEY HAVE NEED OF NOTHING & YOU CLEARLY SEE HOW THAY ARRIVED AT THAT VERY CONFUSED DECISION. THIS SUBSTITUTE OF TRUTH FOR ERROR IS WHAT THE SPIRIT IS REFERING TO IN 2 THESS 2: 10 And with all deceivableness of unrighteousness in them that perish; because they received not the love of the truth, that they might be saved. 11 And for this cause God shall send them strong delusion, that they should believe a lie: 12 That they all might be damned who believed not the truth, but had pleasure in unrighteousness. THIS IS SATAS PLAN HE HAS BEEN WORKING ON SINCE THE BEGINNING & ESPECIALLY INTENT ON IT TODAY WITH THE REMNANT OF GODS PEOPLE. EVELATION 12: 17 And the dragon was wroth with the woman, and went to make war with the remnant of her seed, which keep the commandments of God, and have the testimony of Jesus Christ. THE WAR IS THE SAME ONE HE CONDUCTED AGAINST THE ANGELS IN HEAVEN & SUCCEDED IN DECEIVING ONE THIRD OF THEM. WHAT DOES IT MEAN TO “LOOK” AT THE UPLIFTED SAVIOR WHO BECAME SIN FOR US EVEN THOUGH HE KNEW NO SIN? BIBLE PRINCIPLES TO APPLY DAILY ARE FOUND IN AT LEAST TWO PLACES. ROMANS 2:4 Or despisest thou the riches of his goodness and forbearance and longsuffering; not knowing that the goodness of God leadeth thee to repentance? 2 COR 3: 18 But we all, with open face beholding as in a glass the glory of the Lord, are changed into the same image from glory to glory, even as by the Spirit of the Lord. REPENTENCE IS NOT SOMETHING WE DO IN ORDER TO GET GOD TO ACCEPT US. IT IS SOMETHING THE HOLY SPIRIT DOES INSIDE OF OUR MINDS WHEN WE LOOK AT THE WONDERFUL SAVIOR & SELF GETS LOST IN THE LOOKING. THIS BEGINS SAMLL LIKE A BABY AT BIRTH & GROWS DAILY AS WE EAT”. JOHN 6: 53 Then Jesus said unto them, Verily, verily, I say unto you, Except ye eat the flesh of the Son of man, and drink his blood, ye have no life in you. Whoso eateth my flesh, and drinketh my blood, hath eternal life; and I will raise him up at the last day. For my flesh is meat indeed, and my blood is drink indeed. He that eateth my flesh, and drinketh my blood, dwelleth in me, and I in him. As the living Father hath sent me, and I live by the Father: so he that eateth me, even he shall live by me......V: 63 63 It is the spirit that quickeneth; the flesh profiteth nothing: the words that I speak unto you, they are spirit, and they are life. THE WOMAN AT THE WELL IN JOHN 4 RECEIVED “LIVING WATERS” & FORGOT HER WATERPOT & BECAME AN AMBASADOR FOR JESUS FOR THE GOOD OF ALL WHO WOULD LISTEN. LUKE 15:17 THE PRODIGAL “CAME TO HIMSELF” THROUGH THE HOLY SPIRIT LEADING HIM TO GIVE UP ON SELF & LOOK TOWARD HOME & SEE HIS FATHER IN A TOTALLY DIFFERENT LIGHT. LUKE 19:4 THE HOLY SPIRITS CONVICTION SEND ZACCEUS UP A TREE TO SEE JESUS WHO HE WAS. IN EVERY CASE IN OUR BIBLES NOONE CAME TO SAVING GRACE BY BEGGING TO LIVE BY PRINCIPLES UNLESS THEY WERE LED TO DESPERATION TO RECEIVE A SAVIOR FORM SELF TRUST. JOSEP IS NO EXCEPTION. CIRCUMSTANCES CONTROLED BY THE HOLY SPIRIT LED HIM TO A PLACE OF DESPERATION & HE GAVE UP ON HIMSLEF & JUST CAST HIMSELF ON THE GRACE &MERCY OF THE SAVIOR HE HAD HEARD ABOUT FROM HIS FATHER JACOB. WHEN THIS MESSAGE OF “RIGHTEOUSNESS” IS UNDERSTOOD & RECEIVED BY US TODAY GOD WILL THEN FULFILL HIS PROMISE OF HIS “LATTER RAIN” & IT WILL BE THIS MESSAGE, RECEIVED IN THE MINDS OF ALL WHO ARE BROUGHT TO A DESPERATE ENOUGH PLACE TO ACTUALLY BELIEVE & ACT UPON IT THAT WILL CAUSE THE SHAKING INSIDE THE REMNANT CHURCH & THOSE WHO REFUSE TO ACCEPT IT WILL BE SHAKEN OUT & GOD WILL CALL ALL HIS PEOPLE OUT OF BABYLON & INTO HIS REMNANT. THIS MESSAGE, FIRED BY THE HOLY SPRIT INSIDE ALL WHO ARE COMSUMED BY IT WILL PROCLAIM A LIVING SAVIOR & NOTHING WILL BE ABLE TO STOP IT FROM DOING A THROUGH WORK IN THE WHOLE WORLD. THIS IS REVELATION 14: 6-12. GODS LAST, END TIME GOSPEL, PROCLAIMED WITH A LOUD VOICE. REV 14: 6 And I saw another angel fly in the midst of heaven, having the everlasting gospel to preach unto them that dwell on the earth, and to every nation, and kindred, and tongue, and people, Saying with a loud voice, Fear God, and give glory to him; for the hour of his judgment is come: and worship him that made heaven, and earth, and the sea, and the fountains of waters. And there followed another angel, saying, Babylon is fallen, is fallen, that great city, because she made all nations drink of the wine of the wrath of her fornication. And the third angel followed them, saying with a loud voice, If any man worship the beast and his image, and receive his mark in his forehead, or in his hand, The same shall drink of the wine of the wrath of God, which is poured out without mixture into the cup of his indignation; and he shall be tormented with fire and brimstone in the presence of the holy angels, and in the presence of the Lamb: And the smoke of their torment ascendeth up for ever and ever: and they have no rest day nor night, who worship the beast and his image, and whosoever receiveth the mark of his name. Here is the patience of the saints: here are they that keep the commandments of God, and the faith of Jesus. WHEN EACH OF US ARE LED TO JUDGE GOD WORTHY OF OUR TRUST & LOSE SIGHT OF SELF IN COMTEMPALTION OF JESUS THEN THE HOLY SPRIT WILL PRODUCE REAL COMMANDMENT KEEPER WHO PATIENTLY ALLOW THE SPIRIT TO FULLY CONTROL THEM & USE THEM FOR THE SPIRITUAL GOOD OF OTHER. PHIL 2: 5 Let this mind be in you, which was also in Christ Jesus: EPH 3: 17 That Christ may dwell in your hearts by faith; that ye, being rooted and grounded in love, GAL 2: 20 I am crucified with Christ: nevertheless I live; yet not I, but Christ liveth in me: and the life which I now live in the flesh I live by the faith of the Son of God, who loved me, and gave himself for me. 2 COR 12: 10 Therefore I take pleasure in infirmities, in reproaches, in necessities, in persecutions, in distresses for Christs sake: for when I am weak, then am I strong. ROMANS 12: 12:1 I beseech you therefore, brethren, by the mercies of God, that ye present your bodies a living sacrifice, holy, acceptable unto God, which is your reasonable service. 2 And be not conformed to this world: but be ye transformed by the renewing of your mind, that ye may prove what is that good, and acceptable, and perfect, will of God. NEVER THE EXPERIENCE OF LAODECIA WHICH IS DESCRIBED IN 2 TIM 3: 5 Having a form of godliness, but denying the power thereof: from such turn away.
