The Importance of Understanding the Father Heart of God.


If we as believers do not understand the Father heart of God towards the community of humanity wrapped up in the finished work of Jesus' death and resurrection, we are unable to present the truth and purpose of the Gospel that God intended to be good news for them.

A great desire of the Father heart of God is to deliver His people from performance based guilt ridden religion. Once we understand the Father's heart we can go to Him and experience His love and forgiveness that Grace has accomplished. Once we know we are set free from guilt and condemnation, we can, regardless of our faults and failures, commune with Him, this communing with Him spirit to Spirit is Grace enabled to provide the power over sin.

The Believer's life was never intended to be based on religion's inability (for it is without ability gain or maintain for us a relationship with God), or man's ability. It is based solely on God's ability to fill us with Himself that enables us to live in Him and live the Grace life. Through relational fellowship with our Father, our character is transformed and we begin to manifest the fruits of the Spirit as evidence we are living in Grace.

As God's people we need to comprehend the reality of God's presence within us and by His Grace help the community of humanity see the revelation of the mystery of the gospel revealed to Paul...the Gospel of Grace. That is, that Christ would be magnified in our living, that He would grow in us and fill us with His Spirit so that it is "No longer I who live, but Christ who lives within me".

To fill the earth with the glory of God can only be accomplished by Grace living as He lives His life in us and working His works through us by His Spirit. Only by God's Grace can we have power over sin and live a consecrated and dedicated life so the community of humanity will experience kingdom living by Grace empowered believers.

As we learn to live in Grace in a practical meaningful way we will find the abundant life that Jesus promised us becoming more of a reality flowing within and through us as the Good News Gospel of His Grace.

DO NOT FORSAKE THE ASSEMBLING OF YOURSELVES TOGETHER! by David Yeubanks

“Not forsaking the assembling of ourselves together" (Hebrews 10:25), is a common verse cited by Christians who believe that if you're not attending weekly meetings or plugged in a church denomination that you are somehow out of sync with Scripture and, for all practical purposes, "backsliding". Some refer to the out of church crowd as rebels, or the walking wounded and this verse is often given as the prescription. But is "attending church" really what the author of Hebrews had in mind here? YES THE BIBLE SAY’S NOT TO FORSAKE THE ASSEMBLING TOGETHER? NOTICE IT DOES NOT SAY DO NOT FORSAKE THE "ASSEMBLY" OR CHURCH BUILDING. First of all, it is essential that we understand the meaning of the word "church" as it is used in the Bible. These comments, while being historically and biblically sound, are not meant to suggest that Christians should not meet together, share fellowship, pray or preach the Word of God. If that is the conclusion

A Bloggers Take on "Sinners in the Hands of an Angry God" and "Hell".

HAPPY DADS AND THE HORRORS OF HELL by Jeff Turner Jonathan Edwards once said the following words: “Reprobate infants are vipers of vengeance, which Jehovah will hold over hell, in the tongs of his wrath, till they turn and spit venom in his face!” Elsewhere, Edwards asked the question: “Can the believing father in Heaven be happy with his unbelieving children in Hell?” Now, a bit of clarification: Edwards is not referring to God when he speaks of the “believing father in Heaven”. Rather, he is speaking an earthly father who enters Heaven, while His children are sentenced to an eternity in Hell. One would assume that Edwards’ answer to this question would be something akin to, “Nay! And a thousand times nay!”. Unfortunately, his answer was as follows: “…it [the sight of his children in Hell] will increase rather than diminish his bliss.” To be honest with you, I’m not sure if I’ve ever read more demonic, and putrid words in all of my life. I have a level of respec

The Abusive Tool of Fear-Mongering.

Image
  Fear mongering is an abusive tool used by religion which cripples and limits one's spiritual growth to mature to the full stature of Christ. The fear mongering propaganda that is used as a means to get people saved speaks volumes about the quality of love used to try and scare people to become Christ followers. The scriptures declare that is is the “goodness of God that leads to repentance.” Another characteristic of  fear mongering believers is that they believe that natural disasters are God’s doing and are warnings or punishment for the sin of sinning people. Their sin consciousnesses has blurred their God consciousnesses to where they see God as the big bad wolf waiting to pounce on somebody for sinning. Natural disasters have happened at different times throughout history. Theses events have been used by money hungry fear-mongers to write books of impending doom, passed of as the gospel by using out-of-context scripture verses to validate the acceptance and sale of t
