Christ said, "These signs shall follow them that believe"...

What a testimony for Christ! A child will be born through a healthy mother that was told it couldn't happen! The hand of God changed that situation and that family forvever. He's alive! He heals! Glory! I trusted and believed God for the miracle! Jason Elder gave me the good news yesterday! Glory! God confirmed in my heart He would do it! The Word says its true! Christ said after His resurrection these signs would follow. Glory! Thank you Jesus! Not the first time...won't be the last! Halleluiah! He heals! He blesses! He's God!

Mark 16:17...And these signs shall follow them that believe...

Isa 53:5...But he was wounded for our transgressions, he was bruised for our iniquities: the chastisement of our peace was upon him; and with his stripes we are healed.


Have a blessed week-end in Christ our Saviour and our Healer...Keep your lives in order with Him. God will meet every need of your life through Christ Jesus...Glory!

A Biblical perspective on "temptation's we encounter" and "deliverance from what?"...

There's a greatness in God's Divine Grace that brings us Salvation. I enjoy living and writing about the riches of this great truth! The Bible teaches that God's Divine hand can have full sway of the believer's heart and life. So does the Holy Spirit! What a blessing from God! This full sway of the Spirit allows God to govern the way a believer... thinks, acts, and behaves. But, there's also another part of this greatness of the Divine presence of Christ. This part of God's Grace is every child of God's... anchor of hope. The Bible teaches that Christ's Almighty hand can deliver the believer from every adverse situation in life. God said so!

Here's why the Christian can stay steady in this present evil world that offers the child of God...nothing! Christ is exalted and has all power! Christ whose presence reigns from the Throneroom is invisible, but Christian's walk and live by faith in Him ...not by sight. A believer's security should lie in Christ...not only to save ...but to meet every need of your life. Christ not only saves and redeems the human soul ...He also will take the believer through every adverse situation in life...including temptation. God says so!

Ponder...note... and meditate the Biblical language in the following verses. It's rich and brings security to the heart of a believer. Most of all...it glorifies, Christ! Yes, my brothers and sisters Christ's hand is upon every child of God in every situation in life. Glory! Don't let any man tell you otherwise. Glory to God!

2 Peter 2:9... The Lord knoweth how to deliver the godly out of temptations

1 Cor 10:13...There hath no temptation taken you but such as is common to man: but God is faithful, who will not suffer you to be tempted above that ye are able; but will with the temptation also make a way to escape, that ye may be able to bear it.

2 Tim 4:18...And the Lord shall deliver me from every evil work, and will preserve me unto his heavenly kingdom:

Gal 1:3-4...and peace from God the Father, and from our Lord Jesus Christ, Who gave himself for our sins, that he might deliver us from this present evil world, according to the will of God and our Father:

2 Tim 3:11...Persecutions, afflictions, which came unto me at Antioch, at Iconium, at Lystra; what persecutions I endured: but out of them all the Lord delivered me.

2 Tim 4:17-18...Notwithstanding the Lord stood with me, and strengthened me; that by me the preaching might be fully known, and that all the Gentiles might hear: and I was delivered out of the mouth of the lion. And the Lord shall deliver me from every evil work, and will preserve me unto his heavenly kingdom:


Did you notice the language? It's what God does in the life of a believer! God deliver's! His hand is upon us! Christ is our strength and hope. Walk by faith..not by sight! Trust Christ! Lean on Christ! Cast your cares on Christ...He careth for you! Christ will give you victory! Christ will give you strength to endure! Aren't you glad you have Christ today! Glory! Divine Grace is what Christ does in our lives...not what we do!

Sanctification...the "Sacred Theme" of the Bible.

Brother Mike Gehler (bless his heart) asked me yesterday about the great blessing of Sanctification that only comes from God. Again, I told Brother Mike that sanctification is the sacred theme of the Bible. The fact that sanctification is the sacred theme of the Bible was brought to my attention by my dear Brother Hubert Lindsey before he went to be with Christ. Brother Hubert Lindsey was preaching sanctification from his death bed in a nursing home! I'll never forget those frail words with the authority of Christ behind them... about the fact of Christ in us being greater than the inherited carnal man! Glory!

This greatness of Christ from the Throneroom indicates that even before a man is sanctified "entire" the new convert has victory over the carnal man! Yes, my brothers and sisters the divine nature (which is the power to do right) is greater than the power to do wrong...because power to do right comes from Christ in us! Glory! Christ gives even new converts power to do right and power to live right...even before the Sanctifying power of the baptism with the Holy Spirit takes over man's whole being completely!

1 John 4:4...because greater is he that is in you, than he that is in the world

The sanctified life is the place that God offers believer's in Christ victory over the "flesh" and victory over the "outer circumstances" in life. Sanctification by the Grace of God is the act of God that religious theology has twisted up, mixed up, and intellectually missed for so many reasons...but the fact of the matter is, "Sanctification is the will of God for every believer in Christ". Sanctification is not a progressive work! Sanctification is an instantaneous act of God's Grace, the Bible labels as the Baptism with the Holy Ghost and fire! Sanctifying power is found in this Divine act of God that "comes upon" any believer in Christ after the new birth! Sanctification is a Divine act of God that comes upon a believer in Christ that has been converted...NOT A SINNER OR AN UNBELIEVER!

Acts 1:8...But ye shall receive power, after that the Holy Ghost is come upon you: and ye shall be witnesses unto me

The sanctified heart and life simply comes when God "destroys" your Adamic life (with the Holy Ghost and fire) and takes you over, completely! The reason for sanctification is, "So believer's can have complete victory over every situation in life". Sanctification makes men witnesses for Christ! Sanctified men are witnesses with their mouth and with their lifestyle and actions. Sanctified men do not toot their horn, they live a peaceable and quiet life for Christ..yet effective in belief and trust. Behind the sanctified man's actions and his words stands the power of a resurrected Christ! Glory!

Old Testament saints did not have the blessing of Entire Sanctification like we have today! New Testament saints are so blessed to have this privilege and honor. All of the Churches authority today, comes from Christ in the Throneroom! The truth of the matter is, "New Testament believer's are entitled to the power of a living Christ from the Throneroom." Old Testament saints did not have this great blessing of God's Grace where the Holy Spirit can take over a believer in Christ completely." That's the blessing of the Spirit's presence today in the Church the body of Christ. It takes us beyond the birth, life, and ministry of Christ! Sanctification takes us to Christ "NOW" in the Throneroom! There's a small glimpse of the great importance of sanctification as the sacred theme of the Holy Bible.

Don't let the religious world talk you out of this great blessing! Don't let man's theology tell you something different! Entire Sanctification is the sacred theme of the Bible. God wants all men to have sanctification in this life! If you're sanctified nothing can defeat you in this life! If you're sanctified when you die you will go to Heaven! All men who reign with Christ in the Millennium will be sanctified! Sanctified men are witnesses with their words and with their examples. Sanctification will bring you through life's tests! Sanctification keeps you in harmony with Christ, in the workplace, in your personal life, in your marriage, and in the religious world! Sanctification is a gift of God's Grace! God's Grace keeps the sanctifying power of the Holy Spirit present in your life, your character and your actions!

1 Tim 4:12...but be thou an example of the believers, in word, in conversation, in charity, in spirit, in faith, in purity.

1 Thess 2:10...how holily and justly and unblameably we behaved ourselves among you that believe:

Great Grace is upon you...
