Pleading Your Case

            An accusation is one of the quickest ways to test someones ability to focus soley on their identity in christ. Now that is a bold statement because even as christians we assume its always appropriate if someone wrongfully accuses us of a sinful act that we are to "correct" them. Im not saying their isnt a time to adress someone when led so by the Holy spirit, but we often dont even pray about the situation we come right out and bless them back. How many know this isnt displaying the Love of God? False accusation is wrong and evil, but as christians we dont come against evil with more evil we overcome it with Love. An incredible example is found in John chapter 8 of the woman caught in adultery. It is assumed by scholars this woman was taken from a brothel of some sort, When the woman was brought to Jesus it was brought to him as a trap to try and accuse him. Jesus could have pointed the finger right back at these people and Justified it with, "how many women a day commit adultery, if any of you have ever looked at a woman in lust you are guilty to, all of you are just as guilty I should stone you too, im the only one here without sin."
Instead in Love he said, "he without sin cast the first stone."
And when everyone was gone he looked at the woman and said, " Woman where are your accusers, does no one condemn you."
She responded, "None Lord."
Jesus lovingly, " Neither do I condemn you, Go and sin no more."
           Arent you glad that Jesus doesnt condemn you? This woman wasnt even wrongfully accused it was appropriate under law, but Jesus Christ did not condemn her Amen.
          

            Well today is a good Friday Praise God and we celebrate the crucifixion of Jesus Christ. As I began to read John 19, the recording of the trial and crucifixion The Holy spirit Quickened to me Something Incredible. Jesus Stoof there in front of the multitude completely 100% sinless and wrongfully accused. Can you imagine being accussed for lying that you said you were someone who you truly were. Today if I were at an airport and TSA pulled me aside and said Look your going to Jail for Identity Fraud you say your name is Dalton Mixon, I would promptly plead, " Here is my liscense my social security Look me up I am who I say I am. " But that is not what Jesus Christ did because he wasnt Pleading his case, he was pleading ours. And he did it willingly and with the greatest Love you can Imagine. As I read on The Holy spirit showed me neither did God do it dragging his feet, when he did it he gave it his best. He very easily from all of his wounds could have passed out and been drug to the Cross, but it was his Honor with much determination and LOve to Drag that cross to the top of that Hill for you and I. God gave us His Best JESUS, and JESUS like his father gave us his best. There will never be another man as selfless and full of love.
              My MOM growing up always came against the world when the put pretty words on ugly things. Such as homosexuals being call, "GAYS," which we know also means happy. NOw the word crucify I believe has lost some of its meaning in the church, It was not a pretty thing that Jesus Went through. The accusation alone most of us couldnt stand, he was slapped, punched, spit on, thorns dug in his head, whipped, had flesh pulled out, nails through his feet and hands, and so much more. Jesus Does not want you to feel sorry for him today but rather rejoice in the Kind of love that he displayed in his Crucifixion. Because remember That Jesus wasnt pleading his case, he was pleading yours.
                          Praise God Today Amen. I LOVE YOU.

Romans

        As Christians we generally have a good idea of the Gospel of Jesus Christ. And for the most part we can relay this message incredibly to an unbeliever, portraying the Love of Christ and Grace of God. But when it comes to ourselves this message just doesnt seem to hold as much weight. We understand were righteous in Gods eyes, but in what we call "Reality" we are living by the flesh. See we sometimes distort the Gospel to make it make sense to our lives. Because many christians struggle with the mindset that although in their christian lifes they are righteous but in there earthly lifes they are still sinners. They convinced themselves its okay because it is their flesh and flesh is bad and will pass away but there spirit is sanctified. But how shall we that are dead to sin live any longer therin?  ( Romans 6:2). See this questions perplexed Paul, because to him this mindset doesnt make any sense at all. It is literally impossible to Live in Sin if we are in Christ, its like trying to live in twon places at once. You may say well you dont understand I sin quite a bit, well brother or sister we all sin quite a bit, but that is not where we live or abide. Some people take many vacations, or trips to the movies, or out to eat, but that is not your home, its not where you live. For instance I am in college at this very moment in Colorado attending a wonderful bible college but this is not my Home; My home is in Florida and everytime I return my momma has freshly cleaned my room straightened it up and kept it nice and just the same as when I left.
          Now by no means am I comparing sin to a vacation or attending A bible college however im trying to get my point across of the impossibility of living this double life of Righteous and Sinners at the same time. Reality is up to you, is this temporary world that will pass away and all that is in it, or is the eternal things which are unseen that created this world. For me the decision is easy i back it up with this scripture, 2 corinthians 4:18  While we look not at the things which are seen, but at the things which are not seen: for the things which are seen [are] temporal; but the things which are not seen [are] eternal. The truth then is this we have been set free from sin Amen and been made slaves to righteousness (Romans 6:18). Sin doesnt have dominion over me, because im not under the law, I AM UNDER GRACE (Romans 6:14). Satans greatest weapon against christians is lack of knowledge, he will fight and do his best to keep Christians attention on themselves as if they are not a new Creature in Christ. But thats why we renew our mind unto who we are in him, without him I am a Sinner but with him I am the righteous of Christ, as sinless, as sanctified and pure as Jesus Christ himself Amen.


         People like to complicate things a bit when it comes to old man and new and flesh and spirit. But men of God once you have christ you have everything. We all sin and come short of the Glory of God, However sin the verb and sin the noun are two different matters.  When we talk as sin the act then yes we still being imperfect and living in a corrupt world will sin but we do not live in it Amen I am not a sinner, just become im in a Garage doesnt make me a car and just because I sin doesnt make me a sinner nor do I Live in it amen. I look forward to sharing more of Romans with you as the Holy spirit Guides Amen. God bless you all and make Gods LOve abound in your life.

He is Our Everything

           God Bless you this today, you righteous of christ.

John 15:9

As the Father Hath Loved Me, so have I loved you: continue ye in my Love. (written in red amen)

What a powerful scripture, That scripture says so much to me and has blessed me, but it has blessed me even more what it doesn't say. There is absolutely no restrictions on Gods love, its not to the born again soley, its not to the righteous by works, not to the super duper Christians, it is to EVERYONE. Im here to tell you today I dont care who you are, what you have done, where you have been, the sins you commited, or the sins your going to commit, God Loves you Just as much as he loves Andrew Wommack, Joseph Prince, or any other well known Man of GOD. All Have sinned and come short of the Glory of God on their own efforts (Romans 3:23), but through christ the same Glory that God gave Jesus, HE has given to us (JOhn 17:22).

         Loved ones, HE wants to be your everything today. Its very easy to get caught up in the things of this World but im done battling with it Im gonna abide in someone who has already overcame it (John 16:33). In Him I have peace, (John 16:33), To know that we abide in the Him and he in us (1 John 4:13) has eradicated any fear or lack of peace in my life, He is the way, the Truth, and the Life, and he abides in me. HE is not only taking Care of me, he is showing me the Way, and truth, and Life, Im not surviving Im thriving. And if he isnt already he wants to be your everything today as well. HE has provided peace, Joy, Love, Faith, Salvation, Prosperity, Wholeness and healing, gentleness, goodness, meekness and so much more.
         How do we make God our everything? We simply allow him to be. Believe it or not it actually takes more effort to make God partially in control then to allow him to be in complete control. Its like your trying to get something youve already Got. God has given us a comforter called the Holy spirit that when accepted into our lifes will be everything we need here on this earth.  John 16:13 Howbeit when he, the Spirit of truth, is come, he will guide you into all truth: for he shall not speak of himself; but whatsoever he shall hear, that shall he speak: and he will shew you things to come. Jesus said in John 16:7 that it was expedient that he went away so the HOLY SPIRIT or COMFORTER will come. The Holy sprit will teach us ALL things and bring things to our remembrance PRAISE GOD (John 14:26). Saints, Jesus provided a paid vacation for us AMEN. Hes provided truth, teachings, giving us the ability to know things that havent happened yet, a prayer language, authority and so much more. If we just simply rely on him, accept the Holy spirit into our lives and allow him to be 100% our go to man for everything. Ill make you this Promise today when you rely on him for every matter you'll be above alright, you'll be prosperous, healthy, wise, full of Love, Peace, Joy and all the fruits that accompany the goodness of God.
          I Pray for you today that if God isnt your everything in every matter that he will just bless you with the faith to let go and Let GOD be in control. All you have to do is listen to the Holy Spirit and be obedient. 


If You Are not filled with the Holy spirit yet please send me an email at Livin4christ91@gmail.com i would love to talk with you and answer any questions you may have concerning the Holy spirit. Dont let anything hold you back from Recieving the Holy spirit and all that gifts it comes with.

The Good News

Immediately when a sin is committed in a Christian’s life Satan will come with guilt, condemnation, and any and everything to show you your unworthiness and lack of righteousness. It seems like when we pray for a healing every sin is brought back to us showing us our inability to see the sick recover. When we believe for prosperity we look at every imperfection to foreshadow our failure as a prosperous Christian. This I can promise you my brothers and sisters in Christ any of these thoughts are not of Christ. We talked in the last lesson of Gods desire for our healing and prosperity being greater than ours. God is our rock and is at all times our stable foundation. This confusion and feeling of unworthiness is no more than a lie from Satan himself.
You see it’s the only thing he can do is get us to look at ourselves and focus attention on self rather than Jesus, because he already tried Jesus once and failed miserably. Satan is 100 % right about you being worthless and a sinner, if you haven’t confessed with your mouth and believed in your Heart that Jesus is Lord and God and raised him from the dead, but once you've excepted him as your savior it’s no longer about you it’s about him and Jesus' finished work on the cross.
Allot of us have caught on to that good works do not cause God to have a better attitude towards us, but we've aloud ourselves to believe that our sins cause God to not necessarily change his attitude towards us but remove just a little bit of Goodness or love, Loved ones God is Love and God is good you either have the whole thing or nothing it’s a package deal and if you are my brother in Christ you have all of Jesus' love and goodness. Ephesians 2:⁸For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God: See it’s no longer about you or self-it’s simply a gift From God given Unconditional or you could say it like this. Gods Salvation and goodness and Love towards you isn’t based on any condition there’s nothing you can do to earn it and nothing you can do to have him take it away.
The only thing we are convicted of as Christians is righteousness by the Holy Spirit (John 16:10). When condemnation or conviction of sins come don’t you dare give it any truth in your life, IT is a Lie brother today March 3, 2011 I tell you that today if you are a Christian YOU ARE RIGHTEOUS.

Hebrews 10: ¹²But this man, after he had offered one sacrifice for sins forever, sat down on the right hand of God;

Hebrews 10:¹⁴For by one offering he hath perfected forever them that are sanctified.

Hebrews 10:¹⁷And their sins and iniquities will I remember no more.
¹⁸Now where remission of these is, there is no more offering for sin.

One sacrifice, Jesus Christ, Has perfected forever those who have accepted Christ. No longer our sins even remembered by Christ. There are no more offerings for sin because there doesn’t need to be, Jesus blood paid for it all. If God doesn’t remember our sins why would he condemn us or convict us with them, when he looks at us he sees the same Glory he had for Jesus Christ (John 17:22).

Praise God don’t ever allow Satan to tell you that you’re unworthy or undeserving of anything God has promised you. Through Christ you’re as deserving as Jesus himself. Without him you are nothing but with him you’re everything. All have sinned and come short of the Glory of God (Romans 3:23), that means everyone Andrew Wommack, Smith Wigglesworth, John G Lake, Kathryn Kuhlman and any and every great woman and man of God, without Jesus these men and women are nothing but with and through him they have done incredible works through Christ and the only thing Qualifying them is the blood and sacrifice of Jesus Christ the same thing Qualifying you and me. Don’t allow Satan to compare you with man only allow yourself to be identified with Jesus Christ.
Next time you lay your hands on the sick or speak forth prosperity, the only thing that should mean anything is that completely through faith in Christ there has never been a man or woman more worthy then you at that very instant of that healing or prosperity through Christ Jesus and his incredible Love Amen.

WHAT DO WE KNOW?

     

                              

        2 Peter 1:2 Grace and Peace be multiplied unto you through the Knowledge of God, and of Jesus our Lord,     

King James Version

(emphasis mine)

             I get home from school, drop my bookbag by the couch, set my phone on the table and begin to prepare my lunch. About the time I start frying my eggs, my girlfriend calls. I walk toward the phone, pick it up and, amongst my roommates and their friends, I say, "HEY Woman." The reaction of the crowd varies. Those who know me begin to laugh.  Those who don’t know me look at one another and get a little uncomfortable; perhaps assuming I’m very upset with my girlfriend and completely disrespecting her.   Once they catch on with the others that this is more a flirtatious word of endearment, the comfort level begins to rise again.
          My example, although silly, has a very good point to it. Once you KNOW someone, things no longer have to be explained in detail. Everyone can bring to mind that one person or several people that they just KNOW and when anyone else enters in on the conversation, they may be completely lost.  My brother and I have a completely different language than I share with any other person. When people enter in on one of our conversations, it’s not long until we get some eye-rolling, then a few unexplainable questions, until, finally, it’s back to just us. But I KNOW my brother and he KNOWS me.  For 19 years we have been developing this language.
         We often “look” at God as words on a page. The tone is constant and the meaning is always direct as we see it. When you don’t KNOW someone, you will relate what you hear to your own understanding but not the meaning of that individual. I, myself, use to do this with God constantly.  I would read a verse and analyze it according to what I would mean if I had said that. But, once I began to KNOW God through his word, I related what he said; first, to who he is and then, His meaning - not mine. This impacted my relationship in such a magnificent way because scriptures that use to not make sense suddenly became clear because I KNOW Jesus.  I also know my interpretation of the scripture couldn’t possibly be right because it didn’t line up with who HE is.
        This, just as any other relationship, was a process. It’s not hard to know Him; he reveals himself throughout the whole Bible. However, the good news is that, although it’s a great thing to do, you do not have to read the Bible Genesis to Revelation before you KNOW Him. There are key verses and principals that I base my relationship of knowing God through and the Lord has laid on my heart to share some with you. However, understand that I could tell you how incredible a movie is or Disney World is, but until you go and experience it for yourself, you will never know for yourself.

           Many people tend to make God very difficult to understand and mysterious. But in Matthew 13:11 Jesus said, “Because it is given unto you to know the mysteries of the kingdom of heaven, but to them it is not given.” God is only mysterious to the world. We, as Christians should know him and reveal him to the world. Therefore, I know God on a very simple level, I know God is Love; or Agape - complete unconditional love.  I know God is good and compassionate and if I don’t see that in a verse I’m reading, then it’s me who is misunderstanding God’s meaning or motive.
3 John 1:2 says ^2”Beloved, I wish above all things that thou mayest prosper and be in health, even as thy soul prospereth.”
Verse 4 continues:
^4”I have no greater joy than to hear that my children walk in truth.”
 When I see these verses, I see the simple goodness of our Loving God:
(1)        I see that God desires at all times for me to be prosperous and healed.
(2)        I see that it is not God who puts sickness and disease on someone and takes away their prosperity.  How foolish would it be to assume the same God that desires prosperity and health in our life to be the same God that takes it away from us? Right now, I desire for my brother to see his prosperity manifested.  Now, why would I go to his work and put in complaint after complaint with the manager and tell him all my brother’s shortcomings?  Then, when he gets fired say, “You’ll thank me later, Houston; you weren’t ready.   I desired your prosperity more than you; but as much as it hurts me, it’s best you don’t have that abundance right now.”  
            Another example would be when, as we are praying and desiring the healing for someone, somehow we believe that God isn’t as good and loving as us. That possibly he has a purpose for them in their wheelchair because they are better off sharing God’s love under those conditions rather than standing up and proclaiming their healing for Christ. Even furthermore, if they should die, it’s because God “needed them” in Heaven because he can’t handle it up there by himself, maybe things are getting a little out of hand.
            I’m telling you – God’s desire for our health and prosperity is greater than ours.
(3)        I see a good God who gave man free will and although I can’t explain completely why people are sick (even though I have a pretty good idea) or why Christians are on Welfare, I know it’s not God.  That is not his desire.  Man messed up in the Garden of Eden, not God.   He's not the one who ate the forbidden fruit.
(4)        I also know God is excited and has joy when I’m walking in truth, because if I KNOW the truth, I KNOW him and if I KNOW him, I discover he is Love.  His Grace is sufficient and much, much more. The more I begin to KNOW God, the more I want to KNOW him.  He only gets better and better.
      You see, God’s love and goodness are unreal. Whenever I read something, I read it with the mindset, “When I read this, I’ll read it with the most Love, the most Grace, the best Goodness and the most Peace; then multiply that by 100 and realize I’m not even denting the surface of God’s Goodness and Love.”
3 John 1:11 says
 ^11”Beloved, follow not that which is evil, but that which is good. He that doeth good is of God: but he that doeth evil hath not seen God.”
I’m pretty sure God has seen himself. He is a Good God and every good gift come from him.  A house divided against itself cannot stand.  Therefore, if God is good, that’s all he is.  He isn’t evil as well.
      It’s to my knowledge that John KNEW God pretty well.  He was still man, but he had great KNOWLEDGE of Christ. So, it’s wise to discover what John knew of him. God revealed to me through 1 John many things that we know of God and that we know about ourselves as Christians and who we are. I love sharing what God has revealed to me, but there are times when you should allow the Holy Spirit to minister to you through the verses and not me.  These verses speak for themselves.

1 John 2:29  If ye know that he is righteous, ye know that every one that doeth righteousness is born of him.”

1 John 3:5     ^”And ye know that he was manifested to take away our sins; and in him is no sin.”

1 John 3:24  ^“And he that keepeth his commandments dwelleth in him, and he in him. And hereby we know that he abideth in us, by the Spirit which he hath given us.”

 1 John 4:13  “Hereby know we that we dwell in him, and he in us, because he hath given us of his Spirit.”

 1 John 4:16  “And we have known and believed the love that God hath to us. God is love; and he that dwelleth in love dwelleth in God, and God in him.”
 1 John 5:13  “These things have I written unto you that believe on the name of the Son of God; that ye may know that ye have eternal life, and that ye may believe on the name of the Son of God.  ¹⁴And this is the confidence that we have in him, that, if we ask any thing according to his will, he heareth us:  ¹⁵And if we know that he hear us, whatsoever we ask, we know that we have the petitions that we desired of him.”

1 John 5:18  “We know that whosoever is born of God sinneth not; but he that is begotten of God keepeth himself, and that wicked one toucheth him not.”

1 John 5:19  “And we know that we are of God, and the whole world lieth in wickedness.”

1 John 5:20  “And we know that the Son of God is come, and hath given us an understanding, that we may know him that is true, and we are in him that is true, even in his Son Jesus Christ. This is the true God, and eternal life.”

1 John 2:20   “But ye have an unction from the Holy One, and ye know all things.”

God truly is incredible and I can promise you’ll never be sorry for KNOWING him. You don’t have to quit your job and your life and just read the Bible; you just simply have to open yourself up and allow the Holy Spirit to reveal himself to you. Remember, he is a mystery to the world, but not to you or me.
I love you.  God bless and may His grace and peace be multiplied to you through the KNOWLEDGE of God, and of Jesus our Lord.

The Beauty In Knowing GOD

           I walk in my room I shut the door turn on some hillsong praise and worship then i begin to dive into the word and I read across a scripture making God sound like Rambo coming to destroy the earth. I take a look see im in the New testament witht eh new covenant all sins and wrath upon Jesus no longer about me but it sure sounded like it. But I have bagan to know God and My God is LOVE therefore i must be reading it wrong, with a simple, "God please show me your love in this scripture and what you truly meant." Within a few minutes of soaking in Gods LOve i read it again, ahhhh there it is, it turns out this same scripture that seems loveless and condemning has more Love behind it then we can begin to realize. Thats the beauty in Knowing God.

        You know God isnt hard to figure out he says he is Love. And if we cant figure him out he gave us a hint called the bible and i hope you sense the sarcasm because the bible is like having the key to everything youll ever need in life and how to be strong in this world. I like to look at the bible as a book of seeds that I plant in my life im like a very prosperous farmer I plant righteousness, prosperity, healing, peace, Joy, ministering to others . Im just sowing and sowing and sowing in to my life. And these seeds are beggining to not just sprout but flourish and thrive and I dont by any means have all my ducks in a row but eh ones i do have in line are pretty straight. Were so impatient we wanna read a scripture and bame look I raised them from the dead. But if we begin to plant the seeds now and water them and take care of them in not to long your gonna have some pretty fancy fruit in your Garden.
         I heard a long time ago that theres a certain amount of money you can put in a savings account around 20 dollars a week for 20 years and in savings account and through interest you can have a million dollars, when i heard this i thought thats nothing i make that in a hour someitmes delivering Pizza. But the point is you have to begin to sow and sow and sow and then the abundance comes in a very short 20 years. It was very little money only 20$ not 1,000 but over time just a little bit continually insilled into your spiritual account will give you a million dollars. Now imagine if you were puttin in 200$ how much faster it would grow. Now dont quote me on this im sure im not exact but you see my point.
          A farmer doesnt wait the day before a harvest to plant his seed. A good Farmer anyway. Romans 10:17 says this, 
¹⁷So then faith cometh by hearing, and hearing by the word of God.
I use to believe that like a magic formula the more I was reading my bible my faith was growing and growing. And Then God revealed the fact that i was reading, thats just works, it was that I was beggining to know God on a personal level. Faith is just Trust in the goodness of God, how can you trust someone if you dont really know them. I know theres only a few people i entirely trust in the natural and those people are the people that i truly know. For my personal life there is principal verses i stand on that if how i perceive something doesnt line up with it then chances are im not perceiving it right or its just simply wrong, one verse is James 1:17
¹⁷Every good gift and every perfect gift is from above, and cometh down from the Father of lights, with whom is no variableness, neither shadow of turning.

         This is an incredible verse because it very simple God good Devil BAd, and James says there is no variableness so God doesnt change or vary he is constantly at all times good. James 3:11 says
Can both fresh water and salt water flow from the same spring? [NIV]. So if God is everything good comes from God then bad stuff doesnt come from God it must come from a completely different source so its either satan or ourselves but not God amen![James 1:13]Let no man say when he is tempted, I am tempted of God: for God cannot be tempted with evil, neither tempteth he any man:
        In discovering God i have discovered his Love because he is Love, we learned that all through 1 John 4. We need to understand that God is always for us, and who can be against us then , its his will that your always healed always prosperous, always in perfect peace and so much more. But we may know it but we dont KNOW it until we discover his uncoditional Love through his word then it becomes reality to our SOUL AND SPIRIT and we can have TRUST in the GOODNESS OF GOD.

          This was simply an introduction to knowing God i Hope it Got you excited because the next teaching will be on discovering Gods will for our lifes and giving you great scriptures to stand on in Ephesians and 1 JOhn and Hebrews and just all over the Love of God is his word we just have to begin to KNOW it for ourselves. Next lesson I will give you insight to what JOhn and Paul knew and that the prayed we would know, and a very Important and simple KEY to knowing GOD best.
