Consider what a responsibility you have to speak only God’s words by God’s power.

The Word that God speaks is the Living Word. Consider that God created the entire universe in all its complexity and glory by speaking the Word. The first chapter of John tells you the Word was in the beginning and God didn’t create anything without the Word. Of course, that Word is the Logos, the Son of God, Jesus Christ. Psalm 51:10 says, “Create in me a clean heart, oh Lord.” The word “create” is translated from the word “ktizō.” This is the same word that’s used in the New Testament to discuss God creating the world. When God speaks, His Word has creative power. Consider what a responsibility you have to speak only God’s words by God’s power. Consider the impact if you do.

How To Find Love

To look for love the worldly way,
Will mostly always bring dismay,
And kissing frogs will only work
To help you find another jerk.

If you want love, here’s my advice,
Don’t use a worldly device.
You want the one who’s right for you.
No other one will really do.

Just run toward God with all your might,
And as you run, you’ll catch the sight
Of one who runs in that same race,
Who keeps a pace like your own pace.

Another who loves Jesus so,
And lives life in the Spirit’s flow.
This might just be the one for you.
Trust God to tell you what to do.

The real question will not be,
“How can I find a love for me?”
The question, which is oft ignored,
“How better may I seek the Lord?”

And as you seek the Lord above,
You’ll have no trouble finding love.
You’ll find the life that’s right for you,
And happiness your whole life through.

That Logos God spoke into you, the Logos that resulted in faith, gave you access to God’s grace. That grace did God’s works through you. That Logos is the seed God puts within your hearts. He’s edifying you, which means He’s building you up in Christ each time you listen and allow Him to work through you. God must fully form Christ in you. At this point, there are no side roads and there is no turning back. The Holy Spirit is taking care of that but only if you are willingly receiving it to the point of obedience. God won’t force Himself on anyone. Sometimes, your obedience must take place in painful circumstances.

My children, of whom I travail again until that Christ shall have been formed in you, ~ Galatians 4:19

This is the seed the Sower is sowing. You may have thought God sowed the seed once and that’s it. You may have thought you gave your heart to Jesus at one time, and that’s it. You’re done. End of story! However, you aren’t born-again to stay a baby. Growing up in Christ is not learning the theology of a denomination. Growing up in Christ is having Christ fully formed in you and dying to the sinful nature.

How Pleasant It Is

How pleasant it is for all to see,
Brethren dwell in unity,
As they praise the Lord,
Watch the captives go free!

These are the Priesthood of the Lord,
And as they all stand, we are restored,
How pleasant it is,
How pleasant it is.

Holiness is purification, but what is God purifying? He’s purifying Christ in you—only Christ and no carnal nature.

But sanctify the Lord God in your hearts: ~ 1 Peter 3:15

Two things are happening in this sanctification or purification of the Lord God in your innermost being. He builds up Christ in you, and He removes part of your fleshly nature. Christ in you is your holiness. Christ is the only holiness you’ll ever have. Holiness is Christ formed in you and the fleshly nature removed. Sometimes, you become discouraged. You want this transformation to happen more quickly. You’re disgusted with your unholiness. However, God is completing His work. Be patient with God’s process. You just need to keep listening to His voice and yielding yourself to His Spirit.

Holiness or Sanctification

Righteousness leads to holiness. Holiness is sanctification. Holiness is purification. Righteousness is God working through you. Holiness is Christ formed in you and the fleshly impurity removed.

Righteousness is what God does through you. Holiness is what you are becoming in Christ. Righteousness is thought, word, and deed in the moment. Holiness is a permanent transfiguration. Holiness is the anointing of being or becoming.

I am speaking in human terms because of the weakness of your flesh. Just as you used to offer the parts of your body in slavery to impurity and to escalating wickedness, so now offer them in slavery to righteousness leading to holiness. ~ Romans 6:19

How Beautiful Upon the Mountain

How beautiful upon the mountain,
Are the feet of him who brings good tidings and peace,
And publishes salvation, and saith unto Zion,
Thy God reigneth!
The watchmen now lift up their voice,
Together, we all rejoice, as Zion breaks forth.
With joy we now sing and comfort the Redeemed,
For our God reigneth!

Neither yield ye your members as instruments of unrighteousness unto sin: but yield yourself unto God, as those that are alive from the dead, and your members as instruments of righteousness unto God. . ~ Romans 6:13

Your part is to yield. You need to stop fighting against God. God won’t force His love on anyone. If you resist, God retreats from you. If you yield, He pours His love out on you and through you. He created you for righteousness.

For what the law was powerless to do in that it was weakened by the flesh, God did by sending His own Son in the likeness of sinful man, as an offering for sin. He thus condemned sin in the flesh,  so that the righteous standard of the law might be fulfilled in us, who do not walk according to the flesh but according to the Spirit. ~ Romans 8:3-4

Jesus, Your name is Wonderful.
Son of God and Son of Man.
Your name is Counselor, the Mighty God,
Please help me understand.

CHORUS
Holy Spirit, teach us about Jesus,
Lead us to perfection and to fullness,
Father we will walk in all Your precepts,
Teach us;
Lead us;
Give us pow’r to walk in all Your ways.

Your name is Father. Such unity!
I understand so little now.
Lord, such knowledge is too high for me,
So at your feet I bow.

CHORUS

O, my Jesus, I will not speculate
On what hasn’t been revealed.
But on the genuine, I’ll concentrate.
Please show me what is real.

God speaks His rhema, you hear, faith comes and gives you access to God’s grace, and grace does God’s righteousness through you, and Christ is more fully formed in you while the flesh is diminished. God’s rhema is what God says. It’s God’s utterance. The only way you can walk in righteousness is by grace. The only way you can access grace is through faith. You can walk in God’s righteousness, but you need to listen to God as He leads you. Unless God leads you to it by His utterance, His rhema, it’s not righteousness. However, God’s rhema isn’t enough. God must lead, and then you must yield and allow God to do His works through you. You must allow Him to say His words through you. God gives you this righteousness as a gift. However, you must receive it. God doesn’t force His gifts on you. You can fight against God’s righteousness.

Whatever isn’t of faith is sin. In other words, if God didn’t lead you to it and do it through you, then it’s sin. Your own way is sin. Your own effort is sin. The narrow way is extremely narrow.

and everything that is not from faith is sin. ~ Romans 14:23b

The righteousness grace does through you is God’s gift of righteousness.

For if, by the trespass of the one man, death reigned through that one man, how much more will those who receive an abundance of grace and of the gift of righteousness reign in life through the one man, Jesus Christ! ~ Romans 5:17

This righteousness isn’t theoretical. It does works of righteousness. It’s real and practical as God thinks His thoughts, speaks His words, and does His acts through you. You are to speak only His words. You are to do only His acts. You weren’t created to be independent of God. God created you to be joined to Him in intimate communion.

Little children, let no one deceive you: The one who practices righteousness is righteous, just as Christ is righteous. ~ Romans 6:13

When you read the words, “let no one deceive you,” those words are there because someone is going to try to deceive you. There’s no such thing as righteousness without doing righteousness. King James Version says, “he that doeth righteousness is righteous.”

Of course, you do this righteousness by yielding to the Holy Spirit and allowing God to do His righteousness through you. Your part is to yield the members of your bodies to His righteousness.

Do not present the parts of your body to sin as instruments of wickedness, but present yourself to God as those who have been brought from death to life; and present the parts of your body to Him as instruments of righteousness. ~ Romans 6:13

Faith gives you access into God’s grace.

Therefore, since we have been justified through faith, we have peace with God through your Lord Jesus Christ, through whom we have gained access, by faith, into this grace in which we stand. And we rejoice in the hope of the glory of God. ~ Romans 5:1-2

This grace is through faith.

For it is by grace you have been saved through faith, and this not from yourselves; it is the gift of God ~ Ephesians 2:8

And God’s grace does God’s works of righteousness through you.

But by the grace of God I am what I am, and His grace to me was not in vain. No, I worked harder than all of them—yet not I, but the grace of God that was with me.  ~ 1 Corinthians 15:10

When you try to do your own works, you become self-righteous and frustrate the grace of God.

I do not set aside the grace of God. For if righteousness comes through the law, Christ died for nothing. ~ Galatians 2:21

But when God works through you, you do His righteousness and fulfill the entire law. More correctly, He does His righteousness through you as you yield to His righteousness, and His righteousness, working through you, fulfills the entire law. You can only do righteousness by grace, and you can only access grace through faith.

Notice the sequence. Righteousness is by grace, which is through faith, which comes by hearing.

Holiness, completeness, the fullness of Jesus

Holiness, completeness, the fullness of Jesus,
Into which God has called us if we walk in the Spirit
of the Lord, line on line and precept on precept,
Walking into the fullness of the glory of the Lord.

He is restoring a people who will serve Him, and
Who will worship Him in Spirit and in Truth
A holy Temple, a Nation, a New Creation
A Body, He’s fashioning, a Garden full of fruit.

Oh! Lord, I pray for the fullness of Your coming, walking
Closer and closer until we see You face to face,
And there in the Holy of Holies You’ll redeem our bodies.
Then we’ll truly know You and the fullness of Your grace.
