All things associated with the fulness of God in Jesus Christ is the core value. Not material wealth not praise of men but whom God did not spare for our sakes. If the world hated him we also shall be hated. So all things we need consider within the frame of reference to Jesus Christ. "Who shall separate us from the love of Christ? shall tribulation, or distress, or persecution, or famine, or nakedness, or peril, or sword?"(v.35).
"It is Christ that died, yea rather, that is risen again, who is even at the right hand of God, who also maketh intercession for us," so whatever happens is according to his purpose. "And we know that all things work together for good to them that love God, to them who are the called according to his purpose." This is good when we dod share certain things that he also suffered in his body. "When Christ, who is our life, shall appear, then shall ye also appear with him in glory."(Col.3:4)
If we are dead to the flesh, is loss if dust to dust returns. It follows law of nature. But we who are in the Spirit are under the Law of the Spirit. " For I am persuaded, that neither death, nor life, nor angels, nor principalities, nor powers, nor things present, nor things to come,/Nor height, nor depth, nor any other creature, shall be able to separate us from the love of God, which is in Christ Jesus our Lord. " This is what the Law has spoken and it is according to the divine Will.
"If God be for us, who can be against us?/ He that spared not his own Son, but delivered him up for us all, how shall he not with him also freely give us all things?"
It is with him that God gives us 'all things'. James in his epistle tells we were made a new creation not of ourselves but of his own will." Every good gift and every perfect gift is from above, and cometh down from the Father of lights...."(Jas.1:17-18). Firstly these things delineate the fulness of God in him for his glory, so Constantine I using it to ensure his claim to the throne of Caesars, was not according to his purpose. " All things work together for good to them that love God, to them who are the called according to his purpose," claimed by the Caesar Constantine did not work together for his son whom on some specious charge he had killed. Neither did it good for the empire since it was soon split into two and the same controversy followed the Mother church at every turn. God had cast off the nation of Israel and as warned by his Son. Yet the Pope would create a holy war in order to retrieve Jerusalem, a conflict that haunts to this day.
The second century church father's homily, coming down to us "the blood of the martyrs is the seed of the church,"has become a double edged sword with the inquisitions, religious wars so the evil that was outside simply got within, so we may well heed the warning of Jesus, "But he that is an hireling, and not the shepherd, whose own the sheep are not, seeth the wolf coming, and leaveth the sheep, and fleeth: and the wolf catcheth them, and scattereth the sheep./ The hireling fleeth, because he is an hireling, and careth not for the sheep." ( John 10:12-13) For the robbers and thieves, 'all things' have been what is tangible, wealth titles, landed property megachurches, power over life and death over men and pomp and circumstance of their cloth. Jesus would call them,"for ye are like unto whited sepulchres, "(Matt.23:27)
Do we have to look in the mirror to see how closer we conform in the image of his Son? The Law of the Spirit underpins these growing in grace, being hid in Christ. "Now the Lord is that Spirit: and where the Spirit of the Lord is, there is liberty./But we all, with open face beholding as in a glass the glory of the Lord, are changed into the same image from glory to glory, even as by the Spirit of the Lord."(2 Co.3:17-18)
There is sequence in the manner the lump of leaven can transform the whole batch of meal. "Moreover whom he did predestinate, them he also called: and whom he called, them he also justified: and whom he justified, them he also glorified."(v.30)
His calling and gifts are irrevocable. The Lord is good and he also is co-signatory to the everlasting covenant. So he chided Jonah for putting his personal prejudices before his ministry."And should not I spare Nineveh, that great city, wherein are more than sixscore thousand persons that cannot discern between their right hand and their left hand; and also much cattle?"( Jonah 4:11) Jonah must been like some of these Evangelicals who let the colour and race come between their own salvation and calling. If one fool of a politician suggest millions of migrants be in one fell swoop be seized by the army and deported, these 'ministers' find that is good. "The Lord hath made all things for himself: yea, even the wicked for the day of evil."(Pr.16:4) The Lord alone is good and the manner the rogues have hijacked the word to impose their own prejudices and make evil for good, the Spirit has a warning for them. These wicked who lies and spread disinformation did not get to the position by their merits. God set them up for the day of evil. It has to come before the Age of apostles should continue as before. God knows how to keep His saints in that day.
The word "good" as with "absolutely" are two words in my opinion, the most abused simply because the ungodly use them to mean something else. 'Every home with a carport' was a sign of the good times but now anyone with an axe to grind, simply use one to plough into an unsuspecting crowd crowd, to cause untold damages.God alone is good and absolute but without trusting Him what the godless is what we get. Law of the Spirit use the word of God with a purpose. It is Person specific. Consider this verse."For whom he did foreknow, he also did predestinate to be conformed to the image of his Son, that he might be the firstborn among many brethren."(v.29). God decrees a day,'Thou art my Son; this day have I begotten thee./Ask of me, and I shall give thee the heathen for thine inheritance." (Ps.2:7-8) If the Son asks 'the heathen' will He not give him just that? The everlasting covenant with which the Bible begins is just that. Without believing it the imposter church has completely disrupted the Age of Apostles with their travesty of 'new norms' and the Christian world is solely to blame if a Christian father gives his son for glock when he asks one. the boy already has been bitten by the 'wannahaves' as influencers. "If ye then, being evil, know how to give good gifts unto your children, how much more shall your Father which is in heaven give good things to them that ask him?(Matt.7:11) Many have problem to understand the idea of predestination. They forget the Word made flesh is the same yesterday, today and forever'. The omnipotent God foreknows those who are His. Jesus asked of Him and given them for his inheritance. I do not find any impossibility here. Jesus makes it clear," For I have given unto them the words which thou gavest me; and they have received them, and have known surely that I came out from thee, and they have believed that thou didst send me."( John 17:8)
Do we have to look in the mirror to see how closer we conform?
Remember that Jesus will never leave you or forsake. His promise of the holy spirit indwelling you is true and reliable. Seek His guidance as you read His Word. Psalms is a good place to read because David had many highs and lows, gains and losses in his life and he wrote so openly and passionately about them in His conversations and worship with God.
I had a loss today and feel so alone. Satan has been taunting me all day and I feel under strong oppression. I don't have anyone to talk to. Would you remember me in your prayers? I feel like I can't breathe.
Sometimes forgiving myself can be difficult being a christian is not easy. Serving one another is not easy do i believe in Jesus Christ as my personal saviour yes I'm moving forward.
We can always be helped by the prayers of others. May prayer be a strong and steady practice in our daily lives because our needs are truly deeper than we really know. But God knows, and the Spirit who lives in us prays with us. How wonderful is this great blessing we receive freely from the Lord!
Hello Sandra, today I lift up your unspoken request knowing the the Holy Spirit knows all of your needs and will intercede for you along with us as we pray.
I am so happy that you have been drawn to Christ by our God and Father. He has made you new in His Son and redeemed you from so much. How great is our God!
We all can do some repenting from certain ways of thinking. One day we will all have a mid like Jesus has, that only thinks what is good and right before the Father and a mind that obeys without considering not to obey. But for now in this life, we battle against our sinfulness in our mind. We aim to take every thought captive to God's Word, being sober minded and not delighting in base and useless kinds of thinking, idle thoughts, and those that bring us into temptation in so many ways.
I am a medical student currently studying in Germany. I need God's divine intervention in transitioning into a new full-time Job.

"And we know that all things work together for good to them that love God, to them who are the called according to his purpose."
Here we have the two wings of Christian Living. On one hand we have those 'who are called according to his purpose'. On the other those 'who love God'. These are two witnesses: these are like olive trees ,"These are the two olive trees, and the two candlesticks standing before the God of the earth."(Ro.11:4). These two pinions have a body which is the building of God eternal in heavens so being hid in Christ means man called according to God's purpose, and his works while in his vile body are as though Christ in him did. Where is Christ seated? He sat down "sat down on the right hand of the Majesty on high." Under the Law of the Spirit he has his covered in the other pinion which establishes his love of Christ. It is what v.27 says, "And he that searcheth the hearts knoweth what is the mind of the Spirit, because he maketh intercession for the saints according to the will of God." This part is called 'angel.' There is only single measurement for the holy city of God, man-angel ("according to the measure of a man, that is, of the angel"-Ro.21:17)
God makes angels spirits, "and his ministers a flaming fire."(Ps.104:4). We see how Moses, Elijah and prophets of old stood upto the wickedness,"And if any man will hurt them, fire proceedeth out of their mouth, and devoureth their enemies: and if any man will hurt them, he must in this manner be killed./These have power to shut heaven, that it rain not in the days of their prophecy: and have power over waters to turn them to blood, and to smite the earth with all plagues." It is what the Law of the Spirit executes. The angel part is witness to the mind of the Spirit,"because he maketh intercession for the saints according to the will of God." The man is hid in Christ in heavenly places, his faith meanwhile works as the two witnesses do testify. We are more than conquerors.
Lord Jesus in your mercy please help Christian and his family in accordance with your perfect will. Please bless, protect and guide them. Thank you. Father
"And not only they, but ourselves also, which have the firstfruits of the Spirit, even we ourselves groan within ourselves, waiting for the adoption, to wit, the redemption of our body."
God's covenant is with Man. Our Association with him is in the manner the Law distinguishes between God the Father and Son. He blessed His creation in him. As a living soul God placed His creation in the hands of Adam. God blesses them, "And God blessed them, saying, Be fruitful, and multiply, and fill the waters in the seas, and let fowl multiply in the earth."(Ge.1:22). Here also the original covenant is followed. The body of man in the image of God is also "after our likeness". Adam is the double for the Son, whose body formed of the ground rendered their bodies share a common destiny. What is it? How does man replenish the earth? As in the case of the fruit tree,"whose seed was in itself, after his kind," he renewed the earth with the seed of the loins. God uses the seed in the same sense as here when he warns of the enmity "and between thy seed and her seed;"(Ge.3:15) The same gift of propagation after his kind belonged to them."
God blessed man and woman. "And God blessed them, and God said unto them, Be fruitful, and multiply, and replenish the earth. The body has been prepared for his Son so when Word became flesh,"Forasmuch then as the children are partakers of flesh and blood, he also himself likewise took part of the same."(He.2:14)
"Wherefore when he cometh into the world, he saith, Sacrifice and offering thou wouldest not, but a body hast thou prepared me."(He.10:5). The vile body for the firstfruits have a specific significance. Redemption of their body is glorious as well as spiritual. "And as we have borne the image of the earthy, we shall also bear the image of the heavenly."(1 Co.15:49) The Lamb slain is an emblem. The glory of the throne of God and of the Lamb denotes unity of the Spirit. Signs and wonders He.2:13
"Because the creature itself also shall be delivered from the bondage of corruption into the glorious liberty of the children of God."
Adam's fall brought the same law of sin to operate on the sons of Adam. St Paul leads us to the advent of the last Adam, in these verses." Nevertheless death reigned from Adam to Moses, even over them that had not sinned after the similitude of Adam's transgression, who is the figure of him that was to come./But not as the offence, so also is the free gift."(5:14-15). Adam's fall brought upon the bondage of corruption upon the creation, leading to the latter part of the key verse,"not willingly, but by reason of him who hath subjected the same in hope." The creation also has similar claim "even as ye are called in one hope of your calling."(Ep.4:4)
This subjection to vanity did not come out of nowhere but by divine Will from whom comes every perfect gift. The same reason as He willed the earth shall abide forever and shall have a body, a glorious one at that, gives the creation same hope.. The earth was without form and void but the world made to appear was by the word of God. Consequently we find the earth named. The Word was God. "And God called the dry land Earth;" and also the seas. He sanctified His creation by the name but through Adam."and whatsoever Adam called every living creature, that was the name thereof."(Ge.2:19). He brought His creation before Adam which informs us that the breath in him had invested his Authority so whatever he did in that capacity. The same hope that was intended for them under Adam but not realized, leads as to conclude the Advent of Last Adam shall be "with the glory which shall be revealed in us."(8:18) "Because the creature itself also shall be delivered from the bondage of corruption into the glorious liberty of the children of God./For we know that the whole creation groaneth and travaileth in pain together until now."
My husband, who was a Vietnam Veteran, passed away Oct. 10, 2023 due to Agent Orange health problems. I lost $8,000 a month and it has put a financial hardship on me, as you can very well imagine. I need God to work and increase my income. I'm 71 yrs. old with severe degenerative arthritis in my lower back and neck and unable to work. I have been praying and believing the Lord will help financially. It's very hard. Three weeks after my husband passed away, this guy came to my house to repair my shed. The "pastor" recommended him to me and he even preached my husband's funeral. He set me up. This man cons people by doing shoddy jobs and stealing their money. He got me for $13,000. I had to refinance my car and this has had a snowed ball effect I'll never recover from. I could have paid off some bills, but now I won't be able to and I don't want to have to declare bankruptcy. I've been praying and trying to hang on, but it's getting harder and harder. I'm asking for prayer, please.

In the stars His handy work I see
On the wind He speaks with majesty
Though He ruleth over land and sea
What is that to me
I will celebrate Nativity
For it has a place in history
Sure He came to set His people free
But what is that to me
Til by faith I met Him face to face
And I felt the wonder of His grace
Then I knew that He was more
Than just a God who didn't care
That lived away out there and
Now He walks beside me day by day
Ever watching o'er me lest I stray
Helping me to find that narrow way
He's everything to me
He's everything to me
