The Good Of The Father (In Gods House) # 2177

 Jesus answered and said to him, "If anyone should be loving Me, he will be keeping My word, and My Father will be loving him, and We shall be coming to him and making an abode with him

Johns Account 14: 23, Concordant New Testament Translation 

Growing up in the church, the physical building was often referred to as Gods house.  How many of you have heard someone ask you, "Were you in Gods house on Sunday?"  Indeed, the brick and mortar church buildings, temples and cathedrals we have become used to over time have always been considered to be the abode of God.  The Jewish authorities of Jesus' day revered the temple in Jerusalem as holy ground.  So much so that in the inner sanctums of the temple was what was known as the holy of holies.  This was sacred ground in which God was believed to abide, and which only the high priest was allowed to enter into.  Even here, we can see the religious belief of the separation of God and sinful man.  This was true back then, and continues to be one of the hallmarks of Christian theology and teaching.  But here's my question, what is it that Jesus proclaims of the abode of the Father?  We know that Jesus raised the ire of the Pharisees by proclaiming, "I and the Father, We are one."  In the eyes of the religious leaders of the day, Jesus was comparing Himself to God.  There could be no greater blasphemy than this.  But was He lying?  We have read that Jesus has proclaimed His own union, and ours, with the Father {Johns Account 14:20}.  That not only is He in the Father, but we are in Him and He...is in us.  When we read and understand these words of Jesus, we begin to understand that the true home of the Father has never been the physical building of the church, but within those who love and worship Him.  Of course, this runs contrary to the traditions of the mainstream church.  And those who run contrary to the traditions of the church are all too often seen as radical thinkers.  I know this all too well.  For whenever I attempt to have the conversation with other believers about the truth of our life within the Father, I'm often accused of not understanding the scriptures or of cherry picking them for my own benefit.  In reality, I'm not adding nor taking away from the truth we find in scripture, only pointing out that which those within the church refuse to acknowledge.  

The scripture tells us that God finds His home within us {Johns Account 14:23}.  These are the very words spoken by Jesus Himself.  I have not found any spoken words of Jesus which speak to the Father residing within the walls of the church.  Now, we have read that God is indeed in the presence of those who gather in His name {Matthews Account 18:20}.  But this passage DOES NOT speak to God physically residing within the walls of the church.  So it is that we must accept the spoken word of the Lord Jesus of where God calls His home, and that is within those who love and believe in Him.  News flash, it turns out that Jesus was right all along.  Not only is He one with the Father, but He also dwells with us within Him.  However, the elephant in the room still remains.  Why is it that the mainstream church continues to ignore this truth spoken of by Jesus?  Why is it that those within the church continue to pursue the narrative that man has been separated from God by the same sin which Jesus has given Himself for{Paul to the Corinthians (2) 5:21}?  Keep in mind, this is the spoken teaching of man's religion and not of the truth we find in the Father.  In his evangel, the apostle Paul speaks to Jesus dying to sin "Once for all time" {Paul to the Romans 6:10}.  However, I am of the opinion that those within the church continue to crucify Him daily over sin He has already died to.  I'll take this truth one step further.  Paul speaks in Galatians that he (and we) have been crucified along with Jesus, that the life we once knew is no more {Paul to the Galatians 2:20}.  So, do you think that you're still guilty of some sort of sin?  Not according to Paul, who proclaims that "We, who died to sin, how shall we still be living in it" {Paul to the Romans 6:2}?  So much for the false church narrative that sinful man cannot abide in the presence of God.  The truth is, WE are the home of the Father. 

Are you not aware that you are a temple of God and the spirit of God is making its home in you?

Good Of The Father (Radical Jesus) # 2176

 Yet I am saying to you, love your enemies, and pray for those who are persecuting you

Matthews Account 5: 44, Concordant New Testament Translation 

Have you ever thought of Jesus as anything more than your Lord and savior?  While we would be correct in proclaiming this, we should also recognize that Jesus was indeed considered a radical teacher during His ministry.  Many of the Jews of His day had the idea that the coming Messiah would be a leader who would lead the nation of Israel to victory over their hated Roman occupiers.  Never once did they consider that God would desire them to pray for these same Romans.  That is, until Jesus came along and shocked the social norms of the Jewish society.  The idea of praying for ones enemies was a foreign concept to the tradition based Jewish leadership.  In their view, "An eye for an eye" was the best response to someone who had wronged you.  The radical teaching of Jesus tells us not to exact an eye for an eye, but "Anyone who slaps you on your right cheek, turn to him the other also" {Mattews Account 5:39}.  It's understandable that there were indeed those who despised Jesus for His radical teachings, the Jewish Pharisees among them.  It was these religious leaders who clung to the traditions of the Torah in verse, but not in practice.  All too often, you could see these men in public openly going against the traditions they taught.  They seldom practiced what they preached to others.  Jesus, on the other hand, definitely exemplified that which He taught.  In fact, many of the modern church teachings of love, non-violence and humility come straight from the teachings and words of Jesus.  But how is it that these words of Jesus could be considered to be radical?  Well, because Jesus spoke against what were considered to be the social norms of His day.  For their part, the Pharisees challenged Him at every turn.  These Jewish leaders wanted more than anything to keep things the way that they were.  They despised this radical street preacher from Nazareth coming into their arena to upset the apple cart so to say.  In fact, we hear Nathaniel inquiring of Philip, "Can anything good be out of Nazareth?" {Johns Account 1:46}.  So, here we have One from the hillbilly town of Nazareth speaking a message no one had ever heard before.  The very definition of a radical. 

So, what is it that we can learn from these radical teachings of Jesus?  Remember, it is for His radical teachings that the Jewish religious leaders had Him crucified.  These days, many embrace the so called radical teachings of this man from Nazareth.  We understand that love, humility and grace are not radical at all, but what the Father desires for us.  Yet there continue to be a few of the teachings of Jesus that we continue to see as radical in nature, inclusivity being one of them.  While left wing pundits today rage for inclusivity, it is the apostle Paul who speaks of the very definition of the word.  In his evangel, Paul speaks to the truth that "In Whom there is no Jew nor yet Greek, there is no slave nor yet free, there is no male and female, for you are all one in Christ Jesus" {Paul to the Galatians 3:28}.  While the debate today rages against gender equality, it is Paul who refused to group the Lords creation into gender identification.  The truth we find in Jesus is that we are all one with He and the Father {Johns Account 14:20}.  Of course, the Jewish authorities despised Jesus for His blasphemous words that "I and the Father, We are one" {Johns Account 10:30}.  Even today, many believers scoff at the idea that sinful man could ever be one with Jesus.  When I speak this truth of Jesus to others, I become the radical.  I guess I'm in good company.  In many ways, the same religious norms which Jesus spoke against in His ministry are still with us today.  The religious hierarchies, the traditional requirements and the expectation that believers adhere to them.  But what did the radical teachings of Jesus tell us about how we worship the Father?  Not by recognizing and practicing religious traditions, but something radical indeed.  For Jesus speaks to the woman He encountered at the well that "God is spirit, and those who are worshipping Him must be worshipping in spirit and truth" {Johns Account 4:24}.  "For the Father also is seeking such to be worshipping Him" {Johns Account 4:23}.  What does these radical words of Jesus tell us about how we worship today?  Well, like the Pharisees before them, I'm sure that it would make more than a few pastors nervous.  No church?  No praise and worship music?  No tithing?  Blasphemy!  And that, is the radical Jesus. 

But coming is the hour, and now is, when the true worshippers will be worshipping the Father in spirit and truth, for the Father also is seeking such to be worshipping Him.  God is spirit, and those who are worshipping Him must be worshipping in spirit and truth

The Good Of The Father (Those Who Follow) # 2175

 Going, then, disciple all the nations, baptizing them into the name of the Father and of the Son and of the holy spirit, teaching them to be keeping all, whatever I direct you.  And lo! I am with you all the days till the conclusion of the eon! Amen! 

Matthews Account 28: 19-20, Concordant New Testament Translation 

Websters defines a disciple as "One who accepts and assists in spreading the doctrine of another."  I have been around more than a few churches in my lifetime where discipleship was a pretty big deal.  I have a dear friend who introduced me into this concept more than a few years ago.  The church requirement for discipleship was that I complete a series of classes in order to somehow qualify for their version discipleship.  So, there's training involved in accepting the gospel of Christ Jesus?  Like many things in the church, I think they missed the mark on this one.  Believers all too often refer to the followers of Jesus as being His disciples.  But what is it that these twelve men actually did?  They followed Jesus, accepted His teachings and came to know Him as the Son of the living God {Matthews Account 16:15-17}.  Indeed, Simon had proclaimed Jesus as the Son of God, but it is definitely through His teachings that this truth was revealed unto him.  In my own life, I did not see the forest through the trees until after I had left the mainstream church.  It was only then that the revelation of the Father opened my eyes to the truth of my life lived within His love.  I didn't come to this realization through some church endorsed discipleship class, but through the revelation of the Father.  So, am I a disciple?  A follower of Jesus?  I would beg to differ on this definition.  I do not believe that I am a disciple of Jesus, but His very image.  Follow me here, we're told that God has created us in His likeness {Genesis 1:27}.  In his evangel, the apostle Paul speaks to his own life being dead and gone, "But living in me is Christ" {Paul to the Galatians 2:20}.  Many believers refer to Paul as a disciple of Jesus, surely based very on the definition of the word.  He believed and he followed Jesus after his Damascus Road experience {Acts of the Apostles 9:1-19}.  Up until this point, Paul could hardly be considered a disciple.  But, Christianity has accepted him as a disciple of Jesus based upon his conversion.  

I had a little difficulty in thinking of a title for this page.  I texted a friend this morning asking for help in a topic for my daily thoughts, but he is enjoying a well deserved overseas vacation so I'll cut him some slack.  I finally decided on the topic of discipleship because I have a bit of experience in the church version of this concept.  However, I'm a firm believer in the fact that words mean things, and I know that the definition of being a disciple is one that fits me.  I am a follower of Jesus.  I believe in His teachings.  But my relationship with Him goes deeper than simply knowing the words He has spoken.  I believe that Jesus is my very life.  I am in Him, and He is within me.  Jesus has assured us of this truth in the gospel of John {Johns Account 14:20}.  It seems that Paul wasn't speaking blasphemies when he proclaimed that Christ lived in him.  So, I would not consider myself a follower of Jesus, but His very image.  The image of Christ Jesus who is in me.  Now, many within the church might accuse me of taking the scriptures out of context by proclaiming this truth, but I believe in my heart that this is the revelation given unto me by the Father.  The same revelation which Jesus spoke had been revealed unto Simon.  Therefore, I believe that we should no longer refer to those who have known the revelation of the Father as disciples, but as His chosen.  After all, that is what He has done {Johns Account 15:16}.  I have been chosen and appointed by Jesus.  I understand the rules and regulations of the church, and I know that they feel the need to adhere to their long held traditions.  But I also believe that a true disciple of Jesus never follows, but lives their life within Him. 

Not you choose Me, but I choose you, and I appoint you, that you may be going away and be bringing forth much fruit, and your fruit may be remaining, that anything whichsoever you should be requesting from the Father in My name, He will be giving it to you

The Good Of The Father (God And The DEI Lie) #2174

 

Or has not the potter the right over the clay, out of the same kneading to make one vessel, indeed, for honor, yet one for dishonor? 

Paul to the Romans 9: 21, Concordant New Testament Translation 

At it's base, the idea of DEI means that as a society and a people that we should practice diversity, equity and inclusion.  That we should accept others as they are, albeit for any and all of their faults.  That all are equal and that all should be included in whatever it is that we do.  Sounds good, right?  However, like most everything that the liberal Democrats come up with, the idea of DEI has been hijacked to fit their narrative.  They insist that those with alterative lifestyles be included and not shunned by others.  They preach the failed idea of diversity, claiming that we are all different in our own way.  Again, sounds plausible, right?  Through our human eyes and understanding, yes.  However, how is it that God sees this idea of diversity, equity and inclusion?  See, far from looking upon this idea and accepting it for what we're told that it is, I shine the light of the Fathers truth upon it.  When we do this, we see that the God has been the original founder of equity and inclusion.  It is God who has created all in His own likeness {Genesis 1:27}.  ALL are important and beautiful in the eyes of the Father.  All are included.  What the truth of the Father also reveals is that not only has He created us all in His spirit image, but that He has created us just as we are.  There are no two people who are identically the same.  Yes, even male and female, both created through the Fathers love {Genesis 1:27}.  So, not only to we have a man inspired DEI issue, but a gender confusion issue as well.  Make no mistake, this IS NOT of God.  In his evangel, the apostle Paul speaks to God molding each of us for His purpose {Paul to the Romans 9:21}.  That's right, God is the potter who has molded the clay of His creation as He has seen fit according to His purpose.  Don't be mad at God for how He created you, that is His domain.  As Paul so correctly proclaims, "Has not the potter the right over the clay?"  Who are you, o man, to argue with He who has lovingly created you according to His purpose?

Like I said, this idea of gender confusion and equity and inclusion for all has never been of God, but of man.  I would dare to say that it has been based upon the lie of the deceiver spoken to Adam and Eve in the garden that they could "Be like God, knowing good and evil" {Genesis 3:5}.  It is by this suggestion of the devil which inspired mans idea that he is separated from God.  The author Norman Grubb disputes this idea by proclaiming, "There is no independent, self-operating self in the universe, except the One Who calls Himself the I AM {Exodus 3:14} and says, 'I am the Lord and there is none else, there is no God beside Me' {Isaiah 45:5}.  As I said, it is man himself who has perpetuated the idea that sin has separated us from the Father.  No place is this more evident than in the mainstream church.  For the church has based its teachings and theology on the concept that the sin of man has separated him from God.  To this I say, what about Jesus?  Has not Jesus given Himself for the death of sin?  We see this in the evangel of Paul {Paul to the Corinthians (2) 5:21}.  I suppose the reason that I am able to see the DEI lie is because I have known the truth of my own life within the love of the Father.  I do not live separated from God, but within His love.  Jesus Himself has spoken to this union in John's gospel {Johns Account 14:20}.  The truth is that we have not only been created in Gods likeness according to His purpose, but that our life is IN Him, we are His handiwork {Paul to the Ephesians 2:10}.  We need not accept the DEI or gender confusion lie conceived and spoken by the deceiver.  We only need to know the truth of who we are in the Father. 

For His achievement are we, being created in Christ Jesus for good works, which God makes ready beforehand, that we should be walking in them

The Good Of The Father (Billy's Battle) # 2173

 

With Christ have I been crucified, yet I am living, no longer I; but living in me is Christ.  Now that which I am now living in flesh, I am living in faith that is of the Son of God, Who loved me, and gives Himself up for me

Paul to the Galatians 2: 20, Concordant New Testament Translation

I noticed a short video of the late Billy Graham the other day which almost made me change my view of the late preacher...almost.  I have known for awhile that Billy adhered to the separation theology of the church throughout his ministry career.  This is the belief spoken by those within the church that it is the sin of man which has separated him from God {Isaiah 59:2}.  While I believe that the old preacher indeed led many to the Lord over his lifetime, I also consider the separation theology to be one of the lies spoken by the mainstream church.  So, what is it that he said which almost changed my opinion of him?  Well, in the middle of one of his crusades, Billy Graham spoke that Christ dwells within us.  I was taken aback, fully expecting to hear the same old church song and dance.  However, through the advice of a good friend I discovered that Billy hadn't turned over a new leaf at all, but was simply exhibiting his own dual beliefs in God.  Yes, he might very well believe that Christ Jesus resides in him, but he also undoubtedly follows the church guidance that he continues to serve his flesh as well.  My friend refers to this belief as a "Dualistic" approach to Christ.  Realizing that Jesus is within us, yet still living with our sinful flesh nature as well.  In other words, they accept the forgiveness of Christ Jesus, but continue to believe that they follow the sinful flesh.  Those who follow this belief will always struggle with the two natures, Christ and the flesh.  In his evangel, the apostle Paul debunks this dualistic belief.  Paul understood that he no longer lived by the flesh, but that his life dwelled within Christ {Paul to the Galatians 2:20}.  Of course, to understand Paul's rationale, we need to accept the truth that we HAVE died with Jesus on that cross.  For to deny this is to believe that sin continues to have a place in our lives.  Paul is adamant that it is Jesus Who has died to sin "Once for all time" {Paul to the Romans 6:10}.  That "We, who died to sin, how shall we still be living in it?" {Paul to the Romans 6:2}.  

When we know and understand the words spoken by Paul, we realize that there is no room for a dualistic approach to life.  How is it can we continue to struggle with sinful flesh if Jesus has already put it to death?  Therefore, I believe that the old preacher didn't fully grasp what he was saying.  He proclaimed to have Jesus, but didn't understand what that entailed.  I'm not at all ashamed to danced to the church dualistic belief system.  That was how I was taught back in the day.  Anyone who has spent much time in the mainstream church can attest to the fact that there are two competing messages coming from the pulpits, Jesus and the flesh.  That we need to know Jesus, but to be wary of the desires of the flesh as well.  THIS was the message spoken by Billy Graham that day.  He was both confident in the indwelling Christ, but still fought with the flesh nature as well.  This is why believers can attest to believe in Jesus, yet still live in fear of sin and punishment.  Of how God will punish the wicked with eternity in hell.  Growing up, I always lived in fear that God would find me unworthy due to my own behaviors.  I was lost in the dualistic battle.  The words of Paul shed light on the truth we have in Christ Jesus.  That we "By no means should still be slaving for sin" {Paul to the Romans 6:6}.  I challenge anyone who continues to struggle with the two natures to read the words of Paul spoken in Romans 6: 6-11.  It is here where Paul lays out the truth about sin, and how Jesus has died to put it to death once and for all.  The truth is that we no longer live with a sinful flesh nature, but within the love of the Father {Johns Account 14:20}.  This is the truth we have in Him.  

Knowing this, that our old humanity was crucified together with Him, that the body of sin may be nullified, for us by no means to be still slaving for sin, for one who dies has been justified from sin.  Now if we died together with Christ, we believe that we shall be living together with Him also, having perceived that Christ, being roused from among the dead, is no longer dying.  Death is lording it over Him no longer, for on that He died, He died to sin once for all time, Yet in that He is living, He is living to God.  Thus you also, be reckoning yourselves to be dead, indeed, to sin, yet living to God in Christ Jesus our Lord

The Good Of The Father (The God Question) # 2172

 

"Teaching them to be keeping all, whatever I direct you.  And lo!  I am with you all of the days till the conclusion of the eon! Amen!"

Matthews Account 28: 20, Concordant New Testament Translation

I was reminded of a question the other day.  Not a question which I asked of another person, but one I have asked of God more than a few times.  That question is, where are You, God?  I believe that there are more than a few believers out there who have asked that very question of the Father at one time or another.  I also believe that we ask this question due to our own lack of knowing who God truly is.  Back in the day, when I would ask this of God, I had no idea who He was, or how it was that He related to my life.  All I knew of God came from the teachings and the sermons of the church.  From these teachings, I came to see God as someone Who was far distant from my everyday life.  God is in heaven, and I'm here on earth living this human life.  This is all part of the separation theology spoken and taught by those within the church.  See, I was taught that it was my own sin which had driven a wedge between myself and God {Isaiah 59:2}.  Therefore, when troubling times came, as is common in this life, I was left to wonder, where are You, God?  So, I asked Him the question.  More often than not, I failed to receive an answer, but I believe that this was due to my not knowing who I was within Him.  I believe that this is the problem for many believers today, that we simply don't know of our life within the love of the Father.  For if we knew this truth, we would never need to inquire of God where he is, we would already know in our hearts.  So, where is He?  Well, Jesus has spoken that we do not live a life separate from God, but in union with He and the Father {Johns Account 14:20}.  Many Christians see the words Jesus speaks of "In that day" as some indication of a future event.  But I believe that He was referring to the here and now.  Jesus IS in the Father, we ARE in Him and He IS within us.  This is the truth of our life lived within the love of the Father.  Once we know and understand this, we never need ask God where He is.

I recall the days after my mother passed as being some of the most difficult times I had ever faced.  Up until that point, I had never faced death on a personal level.  I had been praying to God for some time that He would heal my mother and relieve her from the pain she was feeling each day.  Predictably, when she passed away, my first thought was why God had not answered my prayer, but those of all who had been praying for her.  For the first time in my life, I was angry with God.  In my mind, he had abandoned me when I needed Him the most.  That wasn't supposed to happen.  I asked the question, where are you, God?  This time, I felt His answer in my heart.  The answer was simple, she's no longer suffering.  By not knowing who God truly is, I had been blinded into thinking that He had abandoned me, something He has promised me that He would never do {Deuteronomy 31:6}.  Had I known the truth of my life within the Father at that point, it's possible that I would not have had to wonder where He was in my time of need.  But, as they say, knowledge often comes through life experience.  I believe that I had to endure this in order to understand who God truly is.  I now know that God is not some far off entity simply watching over my daily life.  That life is lived within Him.  There is nothing I will ever do or experience that He will never be intimately involved in.  In the difficult times, it is He Who guides me.  I never need to ask Him where He is, for I already know.  

In that day you shall know that I am in My Father, and you in Me, and I in you

The Good Of The Father (What God Wants) # 2171

 

Now it is Eonian life that they may know thee, the only true God, and Him Who Thou dost commission, Jesus Christ

Johns Account 17: 3, Concordant New Testament Translation

The question was raised this week among us, what is it that God wants?  Why is it that we ask of Him, why God?  Those within the church talk a big game when it comes to recognizing and knowing His will for us, but they all too often fall short.  See, the churches view of God is one which is based upon our separation from Him.  Therefore, when it comes to knowing the Fathers will for us, their teachings are often based upon that separation theology.  I have heard the will of God described as recognizing our own sin nature within us.  Of course, this is a false teaching.  For the church either refuses to recognize or ignores what Christ Jesus has accomplished for us on the cross.  That not only did Jesus die, but that WE died there with Him {Paul to the Galatians 2:20, Paul to the Romans 6:8}.  In the eyes of those within the church, Jesus died alone, with even the Father seemingly turning His back on His beloved Son.  More false teachings from the church.  To understand what the true will of the Father is, we must first understand who He is.  The apostle John gives us a valuable clue the true nature of the Father when he proclaims that God...is love {First Epistle of John 4:8}.  Yes, above all else, God is love.  Knowing this, we can delve deeper into that question of what the desire of God truly is.  So that is what I shall attempt to do.

So, what does God want?  I believe that the ultimate will and desire of the Father is that His children would come to know Him for who He is.  Jesus speaks to us that eonian life, our eonian life, consists of our KNOWING the Father, the "Only true God, and Him Whom Thou dost commission, Jesus Christ" {Johns Account 17:3}.  So, this is Jesus telling us the one true desire of the Father.  That we would know Him.  This, above all, is the will of God.  I can definitely understand this, for precious few believers today actually know God for Who He truly is.  As a young believer, I never knew Him as I do today.  What is it that changed all of that?  I grew up in the church, adhering to and swallowing the teachings of the separation theology.  I grew up believing that my sin separated me from the God who loved me enough to create me in His likeness {Genesis 1:27}.  Yes, I knew that He loved me, but that my own actions had caused Him to be upset with me to the point that He turned His back on that which He created out of His love for me.  Does this sound like a loving God?  It's not, it is the false image of the Father spoken of and portrayed by the church for thousands of years.  This is the image of God that I grew up with.  Knowing He loved me, but that I had let Him down through my sins.  Ironically, these were the very same sins which Christ Jesus has given Himself for {Paul to the Corinthians (2) 5:21}.  So, despite the truth spoken of in the evangel of Paul that Jesus has died to sin "Once for all time," those within the church will continue to treat sin as a relevant issue {Paul to the Romans 6:10}.  Again I ask, what is it that changed my thinking about Who God is?  Well, one Easter Sunday, as I sat listening to another prepared sermon on the resurrection of Jesus, the pastor invited all who felt that they had "Unresolved sin" to come forward to be prayed over.  I stood up, but not to go for prayer, to leave the church entirely.  The question in my mind was, how is it that this pulpit pounder could teach of the forgiveness of the risen Lord Jesus one moment, then act as if that meant nothing at all the next?  But this is the message of the church when it comes to sin.  This has never been the intention of the Father Who loves us.  His desire is not that we recognize that we have sinned against Him, but that we see Him for Who He truly is.  

He who is not loving knew not God, for God is love
