The false teaching of the total sovereignty of God

It is the goodness of God that leads people to repentance. God in His wonderful generous heart gives to the undeserving. This is what is commonly called “grace” but it isn’t commonly believed.

A Christian theology based on a God that curses or blesses His children isn't found in the new creation. There is plenty of room for the reaping of ones sowing, but to place that on God is an injustice.

We as Christians celebrate a place where no others have sat. This is a place where the curse of not performing perfectly isn’t held to our account. Now we as born from above are redeemed from the curse of the law because Christ Jesus has become a curse for us to free us from the laws of doing to be Holy, accepted, pure and righteous. Gal 3:13

Come to me all that are weary and heavy laden Matthew 11:28-29 (King James Version)

²⁸Come unto me, all ye that labor and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest.

²⁹Take my yoke upon you, and learn of me; for I am meek and lowly in heart: and ye shall find rest unto your souls.

We all are weary and heavy laden with the guilt of the law and that was its purpose-to bring us to Jesus the Christ. It cried out “do this do that” but we couldn’t. That’s why God gave the law –to show us the “we couldn’t” in us.

This is the whole of Jn 3:16 man needed to be changed and not be in the same condition of say a Job or Moses, of the old testament. So God in His infinite mercy and giving heart- gave his Son…

God showed Himself in the old T. as a Holy judge, a Righteous vindicator on the works of people. He had to –He is all these. But He always wanted to treat His people differently and yet He had bound Himself to His own words and His own holiness.

But He also knew that a day was coming when the blood was to be shed and His only Son would come and pay for the sins of the world. This would let Him be both just and the justifier of the ones who put there trust in Jesus. Romans 3:24-26 (New King James Version)

²⁴ being justified freely by His grace through the redemption that is in Christ Jesus, ²⁵ whom God set forth as a propitiation by His blood, through faith, to demonstrate His righteousness, because in His forbearance God had passed over the sins that were previously committed, ²⁶ to demonstrate at the present time His righteousness, that He might be just and the justifier of the one who has faith in Jesus.

But up to then God had to treat people according to His holiness apart from the shedding of this blood-for it was to come but had not been shed.

The old and new testaments are two different covenants and not just the same covenant separated by a white piece of paper. God had to treat the people of the old T. in a totally different manor for the sins of the world were not atoned for yet. Their sins were always before a Holy God.

Now under the blood of this awesome sacrifice we as Christians are viewed in a new way. In fact even the world is viewed in light of this sacrifice. God is now seeing the faith in all people based on the receiving (or not) of the work of the Christ.

Job for instance couldn’t call God his father as we can, Job couldn’t come boldly to the thrown of grace as we can. Hebrews 4:16 (King James Version)

¹⁶Let us therefore come boldly unto the throne of grace, that we may obtain mercy, and find grace to help in time of need.

It was the thrown of judgment before the blood was shed, but for us it is a thrown of grace, (totally undeserved favor). It was in the thrown room called the ‘HOLY OF HOLIES” where the “ARK” of the covenant was and the blood had to be brought in there for the sins of the people. This is the ark that killed people when they touched it as in the old test times- because it was a place of judgment not of grace-YET!

But when Jesus went into the thrown room after shedding His blood and Mary tried to touch Jesus but He said “do not touch Me for I have not ascended to the Father. Well He was going to the Holy of Holies to put the blood on the real mercy seat the real place of propitiation in the heavens.

The place before the Father to apply the Holy Blood of this only begotton of the Father to the place of our redemption. It was accepted and now so are we IF we believe into Jesus.

Job didn’t have the promised Holy Spirit as we do. Job to our knowledge had no covenant as we now have a new testament that’s far above the old T. being one that was paid for in full by the blood of God’s Son.

Though we can learn a few things about life when we look at Job we learn more about our new position as we compare the two.

I will say that Gods “so called judgment” extended to a country or even to individuals is directly proportional to being a believer or not.- To make this clearer I can see that God isn’t judging people yet and people judge themselves by receiving or disregarding the atonement of Jesus for their sin. God has already placed judgment or we can say His wrath upon His Son for the sin of mankind. Now the world is dealing with whether they have placed their faith in this redemption. But God isn’t judging the world YET.

I have heard people say that the hurricanes that have come to America is a judgment of God on the sins of the country. This is silly misrepresentation of God and a fallacy. As if to say all people killed in these were an indication that not one of them was a Christian or should I say apart of the Family.

If we think God is in control of everything that goes on, we will make a miss-judgment against God and put on Him the sins that are in this world or that are happening in the world. When we look in the news papers do we accualy see God doing all the killings in these people? Do we see Him as the one who used a bank robber that shoots an innocent by stander to death and call it an omniscient, omnipresent and omnipotent work of God?

I am saying that if we don’t know our God as a Father who loves we can easily judge Him as the one who causes sicknesses, murders, rape, theft etc.

If we say God is the same yesterday today and forever we are right –BUT His dealing with mankind has changed…

People see a death or an evil thing happen and say “God took them or God will get glory out of this, or they will shirk it off on God by saying “that God makes all things work together for the good”. Thus placing all blame for everything thing on God.

Back we are at free will. Is everything happening of God-making everything God’s will? Of course not.

It is plain that God wants all to be saved right? 1 Timothy 2:4 (New King James Version)

⁴ who desires all men to be saved and to come to the knowledge of the truth.

Yet we see that all don’t come to the truth (Jesus is the truth).

I have said that when Jesus and the disciples tried to crossed the water in a boat the wind rose up to stop them---Matthew 8:24-27 (New King James Version)

²⁴ And suddenly a great tempest arose on the sea, so that the boat was covered with the waves. But He was asleep. ²⁵ Then His disciples came to Him and awoke Him, saying, “Lord, save us! We are perishing!”
²⁶ But He said to them, “Why are you fearful, O you of little faith?” Then He arose and rebuked the winds and the sea, and there was a great calm. ²⁷ So the men marveled, saying, “Who can this be, that even the winds and the sea obey Him?”

Interesting to note: did Jesus rebuke God or the storm that rose up to destroy them all? We must know we have an adversary and it isn’t our Father! Too much has been put to His account that is a lie. God said “when the holy Spirit is sent He will teach us all things, and the anointing will teach us.

The word of God says that God deals with us as sons. Hebrews 12:7 (New King James Version)

⁷ If^[a] you endure chastening, God deals with you as with sons; for what son is there whom a father does not chasten?

God even says “If you being evil want to give good gifts unto your children” HOW MUCH more God our Father? Our chastening isn’t coming from circumstances or we would all be changed into the image already- but we are chastened by how we respond to life and whether we have renewed our minds to the will and word of God. This is brought about by the word and Spirit that has been given to us. 2 Timothy 3:16 (New King James Version)

¹⁶ All Scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness,

This scripture shows us so much-it is the word of God that will train us, correct us, instruct us.

Are we reading it and soaking it into our minds?

God as our Father never beats us with sicknesses and other people attacking us, or even the devil coming to test us.

We are tempted but that come from our desires when were drawn by our own lusts and that is the form of suffering-but Jesus was tempted in all things yet without sin. This was His suffering not sicknesses or having to carry about a physical chastening of God until it was time for His suffering for the sin of the world (which we will never have to go through) that was a one time thing.

John 5:24 (King James Version)

²⁴Verily, verily, I say unto you, He that heareth my word, and believeth on him that sent me, hath everlasting life, and shall not come into condemnation; but is passed from death unto life.

---Believe on Jesus, believe on His blood shed for you. And you can put all condemnation away- for you have passed already from death unto life.

John 5:22-23 (New King James Version)

²² For the Father judges no one, but has committed all judgment to the Son, ²³ that all should honor the Son just as they honor the Father. He who does not honor the Son does not honor the Father who sent Him.

---God has put all judgment on His Son and we are free of His judgment- we are accepted in Him now.

John 3:17 (New King James Version)

¹⁷ For God did not send His Son into the world to condemn the world, but that the world through Him might be saved. See the heart of God- always one of His love, mercy and grace.

The bible says Jesus was perfected through sufferings- and because He was we were. Our perfection in the spirit is solely based on Jesus position of righteousness and never based on our works to be righteous. Ephesians 4:24 (King James Version)

²⁴And that ye put on the new man, which after God is created in righteousness and true holiness.

We put this on by faith in His works.

Philippians 1:11 (King James Version)

¹¹Being filled with the fruits of righteousness, which are by Jesus Christ, unto the glory and praise of God.

Even our fruits are of Him living in and through us.

Romans 10:3 (King James Version)

³For they being ignorant of God's righteousness, and going about to establish their own righteousness, have not submitted themselves unto the righteousness of God.

There is two kinds of righteousness-1) that based on self, this is pure death. 2) Based on Jesus works of the cross, this is pure life.

2 Corinthians 5:21 (King James Version)

²¹For he hath made him to be sin for us, who knew no sin; that we might be made the righteousness of God in him.

Back in the saddle again!

Howdy! I have returned from ministering in Africa and So Africa. It was a wonderful time of ministry as well as growth for me. Since returning I have been battling by faith a terrible disease that had attached my body- but by the grace of God I have overcome this life threatening situation. Now I'm back and stronger then ever-thank You Lord! I have been getting requests for teaching and preaching and I'm excited to say that I'm getting ready to start releasing video teachings of the word of God. and they will be posted either here or back on my site at-Realheartfellowship.net Keep me in prayer as I'm expecting to go back to Africa soon, I'll keep you posted! Please feel free to leave all prayer requests on the blog and we will be praying for each one.

Is the Sabbath Day Still Valid Today?

No. The Sabbath was a ceremonial law given only to a specific people (the Jews), during a specific time period (the Old Testament), in a specific region (Palestine). The Sabbath was an object lesson for the Jews, picturing the coming Messiah in Whom believers rest for salvation. When men cease from their self-righteous labors, and rest upon the redeeming blood sacrifice of the Son of God, they are saved (1st Peter 1:18,19). Colossians 2:14-17 plainly teach that the Old Testament ceremonial laws are no longer applicable concerning Christians or Jews... "Let no man therefore judge you in meat, or in drink, or in respect of an holy-day, or of the new moon, or of the sabbath days: Which are a shadow of things to come; but the body is of Christ" (Colossians 2:16-17 — Note: All Scriptures are quoted from the trustworthy King James Bible).

Today we honor the "Lord's Day" on Sunday, the first day of the week, when Jesus rose from the dead; but this is voluntary and not obligatory. It is grace and not law.

Blind Leading the Blind

Deception in the body

It's one thing for someone to deceive you-BUT when you make the decision to be deceived-who can help you?

There is one Gospel and that's it! All though as it talks about in Galatians of someone bringing another Gospel, it's referring to another of a different kind. not the Gospel but a deceptive replacement sent from satan and it's out there in many different forms and flavors. Unfortunately people are so drawn by their own dark heart to religion and away from Christ. Wanting to be excepted by the masses and caring less about what God thinks about them. The cross of Christ becomes a stumbling stone and a rock of offence to them.

In my next blog I will destroy this silly false teaching of Christians having to keep the sabbath. This is one easily to shot down since there is absolutely no command in the new testament to keep this Jewish Law-nun whatsoever.

I am so surprised how some people that have a bible and can read can't figure out how to study for themselves. With the use of Greek and Hebrew study tools available and common sense. It just takes a true heart and the ability to read in context the Scriptures plus time and the power of the Holy Spirit and you've got it.

Some read that word commandment in the new testament and think it refers to the ten commandments- silly. If you really look at the new test alone there are 1050 plus commandments in it alone.

When asked of Jesus what is the most important commandment He said to love the Lord you God with all your heart, mind, soul and strength and the second is like unto it-to love your neighbor.

The law people are after a dream that comes from satan himself-that you can satisfy God with your works. It puts them in the same seat as satan himself -one of pride and that was his fall and will be the fall of the ones under law. They love to have the ten rules to keep, thinking they are really something now and they can point to all other Christians and say they are going to hell because of not keeping this law and that. Or not keeping the law of the sabbath, Hippocrates and Pharisees. Straining the gnat and swallowing the camel and the whole heard. They are now on their marry-go-round of condemnation and guilt, Followed with a chaser of shame.

They will try to be perfect in themselves not knowing that is exactly why the law was given to reveal in it's mirror that you need Christ to be clean. The mirror will never clean what you see in it. But it will reveal the ONE who cleans-Christ. Even after you are clean you need to die to your self and live through the one who is the only keeper of the law.

Those under the law would say " look your teaching others to break the law" silly thinking and very childish- you see that I totally believe in keeping the law and in fact I keep every one of them by being IN Christ! It's not about you doing the works it's about Him having done them for us because we couldn't. Then we as dead people are made alive in Him and have His righteousness.

If you think for one second that now that you are a Christian that you need to keep the ten commandments to get to heaven-you might never have been saved! The real revelation hasn't hit home...
