Romans 8 deals with sin - but forgiveness is never mentioned. Forgiveness of sins was taught in Romans 1-5. Forgiveness was found in Justification.
After forgiveness was found in Christ - Romans 8 describes a more complete blessing.
Freedom from the Adamic Nature. Deliverance from the root of sin. No longer controlled by the flesh. Carnality taken away. Possessed totally by the Indwelling Spirit. Righteousness of the Law "fulfilled". A completed work of the Spirit - after forgiveness was found earlier in the Christian life.
Read Romans 8 and see for yourself. Confession not mentioned. Forgiveness not mentioned. Sin mentioned but freedom and deliverance from sin taught.

Precious in the eyes of the Lord
So precious.
Psalm 116:15..Precious in the sight of the LORD is the death of his saints.
So precious.
Jesus the name above cancer. Jesus the name above death. The physical body goes to the grave. Mortality is swallowed up in "life".
2 Corinthians 5:4...For we that are in this tabernacle do groan, being burdened: not for that we would be unclothed, but clothed upon, that mortality might be swallowed up of life.
Precious in the eyes of the Lord
Psalm 116:15..Precious in the sight of the LORD is the death of his saints.
So precious. Two people left this world recently. My wife's mother, Shirley. A dear friend Terry Arcaro.
Psalm 116:15..Precious in the sight of the LORD is the death of his saints.
To Christ be the Glory! Jesus is the name above cancer. Jesus is the the name above death.
1 Corinthians 15:55...O death, where is thy sting? O grave, where is thy victory?
Death is only a sting in this temporal life. The grave brings victory!
Psalm 116:15..Precious in the sight of the LORD is the death of his saints.

- When they leave this world they go to a better place.

Staying conscious to Christ
Monday, January 6, 2014
Who are the saints after, the Rapture of the Church?
After the Rapture: The dead in Christ have risen. Those who are alive (in Christ) are caught up to meet with Christ in the air. The Church is raptured. The Church is delivered from Great Tribulation. The Church has escaped devastation, Judgment, and the wrath of an angry God. Revelation chapter 5 tells the story.
New Testament saints have joined with Christ (the bridegroom) and the Church (the bride of Christ) are taken up into Heaven. The earth is now taken over and Satan takes authority on the Earth. The Anti-Christ - the man of sin - the son of perdition steps in. The Holy Spirit, the body of Christ the church, and all of its members have gone up. This sanctification through the Spirit is a cutting away or a severing of the Church from an unbelieving world. No longer does the Holy Spirit's presence hinder or with hold the Anti-Christ from stepping in.
Satan's Kingdom begins. God's Judgment and Wrath begins. The seals are opened. The vials are opened. The woes are loosed. Strong delusion within humanity begins. The actual witness of the bride meeting the bridegroom in Heaven has happened. The Jews (an object of God's plan) rejected their Messiah in the Old Testament. The Jews rejected the Promised Kingdom and their King during the earthly ministry of Christ. Now the Jews have rejected the Raptured Church, the body of Christ visibly. The Church has been taken up. The Church has been sanctified. God's witness to the Jew (as prophesied) becomes Great Tribulation and Judgment upon Earth like in the days of Noah.
Death, Hell, and fire break loose on the earth for seven years. These events and these occurrences actually happen. This is only a prophetic glimpse of what takes place after the Rapture of the Church. The saints of God are with Christ in Heaven. In marriage, the Bride and Bridegroom have united in the Throneroom.
Over the years many have asked the question about Salvation "after the Rapture of the Church". One must understand the first four chapters of Revelation deals with Rapture. Revelation chapter five speaks about the Raptured saints in Heaven. Then John goes on to mention how God's Judgment and wrath are ministered upon the earth after the Church is Raptured. Then Revelation chapter six and seven gives a different picture of the saints of God. These saints are classified as Tribulation Saints. Tribulation Saints are saints of God who have kept faith in Christ to the point of death.
Here is a picture of Tribulation Saints from John's Revelation.
Rev 7:13-17...And one of the elders answered, saying unto me, What are these which are arrayed in white robes? and whence came they? And I said unto him, Sir, thou knowest. And he said to me, These are they which came out of great tribulation, and have washed their robes, and made them white in the blood of the Lamb. Therefore are they before the throne of God, and serve him day and night in his temple: and he that sitteth on the throne shall dwell among them. They shall hunger no more, neither thirst any more; neither shall the sun light on them, nor any heat. For the Lamb which is in the midst of the throne shall feed them, and shall lead them unto living fountains of waters: and God shall wipe away all tears from their eyes.
These saints are saints of God who turn to Christ during the Great Tribulation...after the Rapture of the Church has already taken place. The Tribulation is primarily recognized as a Jewish Tribulation.

Revival
A revived heart burns, lives, and testifies to the power of God through Christ. Revival is a work of the Holy Spirit in the human soul that helps man to realize who Christ is. Revival is for both sinner and saint alike. By stirring the inner man through preaching, revival helps any man to recognize and obey the presence of an invisible God. A revived heart enables Christ to remove the cloak of secret sin. Revival is an awakening… refreshing…or move of the Holy Ghost that stirs man to have a better consciousness of Christ. Revival is the Spirit’s work that convicts the world of sin and turns men from unrighteousness. Revival offers a better standard of life through the personality of Christ. Revival enlightens the heart of man to the revelation of Christ and His Spiritual body, the Church. Revival fortifies the faith of man through evidence given from the Holy Scriptures. Revival is a living and active move of the Spirit of God… within the human soul. Revival brings honor to Christ through Gospel preaching and the work of the ministry. A revivalist tells the lost world about Christ. Revival brings accountability to those who accept Christ for the forgiveness of sins. Revival shows man who he is in the presence of Christ. Revival ministers to human needs. Revival brings glory to a living Christ in the Throne Room. Revival roots and builds up members of the Body. Revival regenerates, sanctifies, and renews the human soul.

Holiness of heart and conduct
Holiness of heart produces holiness of conduct. When the Spirit of Holiness rids man of all unholiness...a life in Christ begins. Only the power of a resurrected Christ can cleanse the unbelieving heart from sin and unrighteousness. When God's cleansing power takes place in the heart...the fruit of holiness flows through the make-up and conduct of a believer in Christ.
Rom 6:21-22...What fruit had ye then in those things whereof ye are now ashamed? for the end of those things is death. But now being made free from sin, and become servants to God, ye have your fruit unto holiness,
Rom 6:21-22...What fruit had ye then in those things whereof ye are now ashamed? for the end of those things is death. But now being made free from sin, and become servants to God, ye have your fruit unto holiness,
