God is building a house
In which creation shall dwell,
These rooms are God’s mansions
He’s delivered from hell.
Prepared for the ages,

Wisdom isn’t a physical substance like a bottle of water. God doesn’t give you a bottle of wisdom for you to use as you see fit. Wisdom is the flow of Christ’s Spirit through your being. He’s like a flowing river of water. If you cut off the Source, the flow stops. If you hinder the flow, the flow dwindles. Wisdom is Christ leading you and empowering you for righteousness, but you must listen and yield. You can’t fight or argue against Him without negative consequences. Double-mindedness pollutes His water.

That means when the Holy Spirit transfigures you, He’s transfiguring you into a creature who flows with the love of God. When Christ is fully formed in you, you won’t be an independent little christ. We’ll be fully joined to Christ in unity as a body. You’ll be joined to Christ the head and the body of Christ. His wisdom will flow through you. You’ll be completely in submission to Him and dependent on His power flowing through you. He’ll do His works through you by His might. He’s your Head, and you’re a part of His body. He’s transfiguring you into the specific part of His body He created you to become. He’s fitting you into His body.

God Had a Perfect Design

God Had a Perfect Design

God Had a Perfect Design

God had a perfect design,
When He brought you and I into mind,
Although we danced to the fiddle, of a religious riddle,
He held onto us all the time.

This pattern He is now bringing in,
Is the Corporate Man without sin,
We’ll dance to a song that is new,
For His nature is forming, It’s true!

Now Truth will win out every time,
What matters if others decline?
His purpose I know we will be,
For He’s whittled a whole lot on me.

As we stand together so strong,
We’ll return back where we belong,
A river that’s flowing with life,
Destroying all death and all strife.

No man, when he hath lighted a candle, putteth it in a secret place, neither under a bushel, but on a candlestick, that they which come in may see the light. The light of the body is the eye: therefore when thine eye is single, thy whole body also is full of light; but when thine eye is evil, thy body also is full of darkness. Take heed therefore that the light which is in thee be not darkness. If thy whole body therefore be full of light, having no part dark, the whole shall be full of light, as when the bright shining of a candle doth give thee light.  ~  Luke 11:33-36

You must make a decision. You can try to straddle the fence, but it won’t work.  What you think is Light in you will be darkness if you’re double-minded. The double-minded person will receive nothing from the Lord. No wisdom! If you don’t fully trust God, you’ll trust your own mind and observations. You might even trust the minds and observations of others. If you try to go both ways at once, you won’t be able to receive God’s wisdom.  You’ll lose your ability to see the difference between good and evil. You won’t know reality from make-believe.

Many are the sinners and the destitute
So compel them that they might come in
Not too many wise or of high repute
Oh! compel them that they might come in

Knowing the terror of our God, we persuade men.
We throw open wide the door named Jesus that they might come in!
We Go to the Highways and the byways
And compel them that they might come in.
We throw open wide the door named Jesus that they might come in!

Many are ensnared in dead religious forms
Oh! compel them that they might come in.
They can never join! No, they must be born!
Oh! compel them that they might come in.

Knowing the terror of our God, we persuade men.
We throw open wide the door named Jesus that they might come in!
We Go to the Highways and the byways
And compel them that they might come in.

Many have been born, but they desire to grow.
Oh! compel them that they might come in.
Let them see the Rock! Let the Spirit flow!
Oh! compel them that they might come in.

We throw open wide the door named Jesus that they might come in!

Many walk in bondage when they could be free.
So compel them that they might come in.
Let the Lord anoint Your ministry,
And compel them that they might come in.

Many have a hunger and they feel undone,
So compel them that they might come in.
Go out to the sad and the homeless ones
And compel them that they might come in.

Some people think Christianity is about religion and it’s a one and done deal. They’re born again, and they say, “I’m saved!” Now, it’s just about getting other people “saved.” Of course, you should go to church and obey certain rules, but that’s it. And they are born again–born as babies.

Others receive the baptism of the Holy Spirit and think they have arrived. It doesn’t work that way. Remember the foolish virgins who had no oil in their vessels? You need that moment-to-moment contact with the Most High. You must stand in His presence and listen to his Voice. And listening isn’t enough. You must believe, not doubt, and then allow His to say His words through you and do His works through you according to His leading. This is the key to the manifestation of the sons of God, which will be maturity in Christ.

GO TELL IT ON THE MOUNTAIN

GO TELL IT ON THE MOUNTAIN

GO TELL IT ON THE MOUNTAIN

Words: John W. Work, Jr., 1907
Music: African-American spiritual (in the public domain)

CHORUS:
Go, tell it on the mountain,
Over the hills and everywhere
Go, tell it on the mountain,
That Jesus Christ is born.

While shepherds kept their watching
Over silent flocks by night
Behold throughout the heavens
There shone a holy light.

The shepherds feared and trembled,
When lo! above the earth,
Rang out the angels chorus
That hailed the Savior’s birth.

Down in a lowly manger
The humble Christ was born
And God sent us salvation
That blessed Christmas morn.

Many have added verses over the years. Here are three more new verses by Bob and Kathy Stenson:

Oh Once I was a sinner,
In bondage day and night.
I asked the Lord to save me,
And He showed me the light.

The mind is a deceiver,
And many are deceived,
But Jesus came to lead us,
And all who have believed.

More holiness and power
than anyone has dreamed,
This holiness and power
belongs to the redeemed.

Double Minded

If any of you lack wisdom, let him ask of God, that giveth to all men liberally, and upbraideth not; and it shall be given him. But let him ask in faith, nothing wavering. For he that wavereth is like a wave of the sea driven with the wind and tossed. For let not that man think that he shall receive any thing of the Lord. A double minded man is unstable in all his ways. ~ James 1:5-8

You receive wisdom if you ask God for it. He gives you wisdom liberally. He leads. He teaches. He corrects. It’s all there for the asking. All you have to do is ask in humility without the hypocrisy of doubting. When you fear, you are doubting. When you allow the enemy to discourage you, you are doubting. When your fear leads you into anger, you are doubting.

Christ leads, teaches, and corrects all who follow Him. Listen and yield to His words.

Continue In Christ’s Utterance

God’s promise to you in John 8:31a-32 is conditional. You must continue in Christ’s word—whatever that means. Let’s start with Jesus’ word. What is Jesus’ word? Looking up the original language, the Greek word “logos” means “utterance.” It’s His spoken word, the statements He makes. His word is His logos, which is God’s utterance. If you prayerfully read the first chapter of John in the Bible, you find this utterance can’t be separated from Christ. In the beginning was the Word, the Logos, the Utterance, and the Logos was God. And the Logos was the Light that lights every person who comes into the world. Jesus Christ reveals Himself and speaks to every person who comes into the world. Some listen. Others flee from the Light.

If you continue in Christ’s utterance, you are truly His disciple. Then you will know the truth, and the truth will set you free.

What is the utterance of Christ? You need to understand that. You must continue in Christ’s utterance. What is that? How can you do that? Let’s find the answer to that.

Let’s look at the Greek word translated as “continue.” It means the following:

abide, continue, dwell, endure, be present, remain, stand, not to depart, to be held, to be kept continually, to live, and to remain as one.

You could say the word “continue” means to live, move, and have your being continually in His utterance. So you’re living in Christ’s utterance continually. That still seems foggy. What does that mean?

If you continually live, move, and have your being in Christ’s utterance, you are truly His disciple. Then you will know the truth, and the truth will set you free.

It means you will be Christ’s disciple if you continually live, move, and have your being in His utterance, but what is a disciple? A disciple is a student or pupil.

If you live, move, and have your being in Christ’s utterance, you are truly His student. Then you will know the truth, and the truth will set you free.

Let’s simplify that.

If you continually live, move, and have your being in Christ’s utterance, He teaches you as His student. Then you will know the truth, and the truth will set you free.

Now, this is starting to make sense. If you are Christ’s pupil or student, He is teaching you the truth. If you’re following Christ, then He’s leading you. He’s speaking to you all the time. He’s correcting you sometimes. You need to listen. You need to seek Him and enquire of Him. You need to ask Him for direction and believe He will direct you. You need to stop resisting Him and second-guessing Him. You need to submit to Him when He corrects you. You need to stop being double-minded.

Truth Will Set You Free

Now, it’s becoming clear.

If you stand in the presence of Christ continually, listening to His voice, He’ll teach you as His student. He’ll lead, teach, and correct you. if you listen to His voice and allow Him to fulfill whatever He says in you, this will set you free from your slavery to sin. Without this, you remain a slave.

You can even be born again and find yourself as slaves to sin, constantly doing what you don’t want to do. The apostle Paul talked about that. And yet, you can be free. When you listen to Christ’s voice, it sets you free.

I’m talking about maturity. I’m not talking about being born again. When you’re born again, you’re born as a baby in Christ. However, God wants you to grow up. When you grow up, you experience all the promises in the Bible. Consider the works Jesus did. Consider the works the apostles and prophets did. Those were just a foretaste. God has much more for you. What are the limits?

Some people say it’s impossible to leave sin behind completely. Others say if you sin it proves you weren’t born again. Others have other ideas. All these opinions bring up many questions. Hopefully, God will answer all your questions before you’re finished. You can see that Truth sets you free from sin. And listening to Jesus Christ is the key to Truth.

Give All of Your Praises Unto the Great King

Give all of your praises unto the great King.
He who sits on your throne–He does know everything.
And when nothing is hidden, and our knees humbly bow,
To the Christ in each other, then our cups He will fill.

So when one may need strength, we their strength do become,
We are rest for the weary, we’re His will that is done.
We’ll behold His great beauty, as His life does unfold,
And if we’ll all stand together–we’ll the Father behold.
