The Roman Epistle...Chapter's 1-8...Distinction made between Justification and Sanctification

The following audio/video was made at a Bible Study last night at the Upper Room (12-17-2009) by Rick Roehm. By the Grace of God and the ministry of the Holy Spirit we were able to capture from our service and show the beautiful distinction between Justification for the sinner and Sanctification for the believer in Christ. This overview of the Roman Letter was expounded on and kept in context for the edification and perfection of the saints for the work of the ministry. Glory to Christ who makes it all possible to capture these wonderful teachings. Glory the Christ who makes it possible not only to preserve but to also publicize these teachings of God's Word across the nation and world by the Internet! Glory to Christ who affects and changes peoples hearts and lives by the Grace of God! Glory to Christ! Glory to Christ! Hallelujah!

Get beyond Calvary...into the Throneroom...where Christ is active right now with all power and authority!

Many Christians today find themselves "stuck" at Calvary and yes I admit Calvary is the basis for forgiveness, Salvation and healing. Just remember, after Christ died at Calvary he rose from the grave, bodily resurrected, and is now exalted and seated at the right hand of God the Father. He's not just a crucified Christ but He's alive and doing something now in the body! Christ is in the Throneroom and doing things actively, now, present tense! For you and me! In you and me! Christ has all power in Heaven and on Earth! Christ has power over sickness, power over sin, power over the flesh, and power over the Devil!

The deity of Christ is one of the most important things anyone can ever learn about the person of Christ! God doesn't want believers to be stuck at Calvary 2000 years ago (only) He wants us to be wrapped up in the person of Christ, past tense, present tense, and future tense! Christ is alive NOW and in the Throneroom, even as I write these words on this Blog. Christ cleanses and purifies the hearts of believers from an Adamic nature...present tense...to give us VICTORY! To live happy and contented! GLORY!

Throneroom teaching takes people "beyond" Calvary and shows them a life governed by a living Christ. Throneroom teaching does not teach sin and repent religion. Throneroom teaching teaches men how to live a holy life after they get the holy heart found through the forgiveness of sins. When a believer gets beyond Calvary he can end up in the Throneroom where Christ is presently seated and makes intercession for all His saints. Throneroom teaching takes man away from the cross and gets him to a living and active Christ in the Throneroom where the Holy Spirit is omnipresent. Omnipresence is simply "universal" contact with Christ, God, and the Spirit at all times. Throneroom teaching teaches men to be conscious to Christ's person, to mind Christ with all gravity and subjection, and allowing Christ to have full sway of their "entire being". This includes being delivered from the old nature. Throneroom subjection allows the person of Christ to have complete control of your heart, life, and being. All of you "full time" and not part of you part time!

Throneroom teaching teaches a victory of living holy and right in the eyes of God. Throneroom teaching is "now" teaching and not just looking back 2009 years ago to a place of forgiveness ... where victory cannot be found over sinning religion or part time faithfulness. Victorious living comes from the Throneroom and offers a life of contentment. Victorious living does not get frustrated from the agony of defeat caused from sinning religion. The mindset of defeat never seems to find the "present tense" Throneroom experience where the victorious experience of the sanctified heart and life is found and lived out over the course of years. Without sinful conduct! Without being tossed to and fro! Without wavering! Victory over sin and the flesh is not found in the defeated life of sinning religion. Victory over sin is only found when a believer is made to sit together with Christ in Heavenly places. This is Throneroom teaching. This is what the New Testament teaches after the death of Christ! This is the doctrine of the true Gospel according to the Prophets!

Brother Lindsey taught people to get beyond Calvary and the many frustrations of sinning religion. Like the Early Church Apostles Brother Lindsey taught a resurrected Christ whose exalted and very much active in the present tense Church TODAY. Throneroom teaching had much emphasis. This writer/preacher likewise teaches and strives to convey that same doctrine and same truth from the Word of God today. Why? Christ rose from the grave according to the Scriptures and He's doing something right now...from the Throneroom! He's exalted! He's alive! Glory!

Love victorius...ill will defeated...walk in love ...walk in VICTORY. Glory!

The following is a horrible tragedy in our modern Church World today in 2009. I speak of Christians having ill will toward any man. The Bible says God is no respecter of persons. Christians likewise are to have the same character and the same nature toward all humanity. This is love. This is Christ like love. Is not the love of God shed abroad in your heart by Holy Ghost? Is love to put one man down to lift yourself up or to make yourself look good? Is reaching a position of a higher standard in the eyes of the world give you the Christian the right to look down on any man? For any reason? Come on, "Who do you think you are?" Is this the characteristic or title of a Child of God? Is a seeker of position that looks down upon fellow man a high minded man? High mindedness is defeat. Ill will toward any man is defeat. The Devil wants men that call themselves Christians to be high minded and defeated! No high minded man is ever happy and contented.

Love does not put itself on a pedestal to look down upon "any" man, "any" race, or "any" standard of life. Love is not puffed up with knowledge. Love doesn't criticize or ridicule. Love is victory in Jesus. Love is proof of the sanctified heart. Love doesn't put one man down to build himself up. Love is proof of a living God that changes the heart of a fallen man. Love is proof that a Saviour lives. Love allows the sanctifying power of God to operate in the heart and life of a believer. A heart of love is a state of humility. Humility is not proud. Humility does not boast or seek earthly position or title. Humility is man's recognition that he's "nothing" in the presence of a living Christ. Humility is a servant to God and a servant to all men. Are you a true Christian? Do you have the heart of a servant? If so you have VICTORY! There's VICTORY in love and humility toward all men. There's victory in the heart of a child of God. Are you living a victorious life? Love is not puffed up. Love doesn't look down on a fellow man. Do you want to be sanctified? Sanctification offers VICTORY and lowliness... not haughtiness and proudness that offers defeat! Walk in love and you'll walk in victory. Love proves the sanctified heart and life. Love proves the Baptism with the Holy Ghost and fire. Love flows when man is rid of the many defeats caused from the Adamic life. Ill will toward any man is defeat and the Devil has a field day with this type of character.

Give no place to the Devil. Bring honor to Christ in your character, nature, and toward fellow man. Have no ill will toward any man any social status rich or poor. Don't do all the things that God don't want you to do ...mind the Spirit. You'll find the highest promotion you can receive in this life. Your love and affections will be set on Christ because you've been promoted by Him. You'll know what He made you because you've been promoted by Him. Your heart will understand why you have VICTORY because Christ does the promotion. Glory!

Eph 2:6... And hath raised us up together, and made us sit together in heavenly places in Christ Jesus:

This is love my brother and sister. This is true Christianity my brother and sister! This is the Spirit's work in action! It's proven by you; by your life; by your actions and conduct. Christians are promoted by Christ. That's the highest promotion you can get in this life. Hallelujah! Hallelujah! Glory! I'm getting Blessed! Glory!

P.S...This writer was inspired to write this after being ministered to for the last couple of weeks by a few of Brother Lindsey's timeless messages on holiness. That's good holiness preaching!

In dedication to Brother Hubert Lindsey...the ministration of the Spirit lives!

Rev 14:13…Blessed are the dead which die in the Lord from henceforth: Yea, saith the Spirit, that they may rest from their labours; and their works do follow them.

Works that follow never die! The works of a holiness preacher never stop. These works live through people that learned, heard, and were taught the things of God from this preacher's message of the love of the truth. The preacher may lay down his physical body to return to the dust but his spiritual ministry "lives" in the hearts and lives of those who had a glimpse and touch of the Christ that he preached about. Works that follow never die!

The reason "works" follow long after a man of labour for Christ, goes to his long home is because the ministration of the Spirit and the love of the truth never dies. This blessing from God is manifest in the hearts, lives, and actions of those who were affected and touched by that ministry. I had the wonderful privilege to tell Brother Lindsey I would carry on this very ministry even after Brother Lindsey went to his long home. Glory! Christ made the way!

Rev 14:13…Blessed are the dead which die in the Lord from henceforth: Yea, saith the Spirit, that they may rest from their labours; and their works do follow them.
