Praise the Lord children of God,

How time is flying. It seems like we just finished the letter and here it is time for the next one.  God is so good in answering so many prayers. We really never had a winter this year. We got snow a couple of days ago, enough to water the yard. We are in serious times, if you look around it seems like the end is here, but it’s just the signs of the time. I thank God for his faith, that he has put into me, so that I can believe when I speak. This time I want to speak about who you are and ask, do you really believe what the word says. My title this time is

Who are You?

Genesis 1:26 And God said, Let us make man in our image, after our likeness: and let them have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the fowl of the air, and over the cattle, and over all the earth, and over every creeping thing that creepeth upon the earth.

The word is actually saying, our image is the same as God-Jesus. We have the power over all the living things. To kill or to make alive, we can tame if we believe.

John 10:34  Jesus answered them, Is it not written in your law, I said, Ye are gods? 

Then he is telling us you are gods after we receive the Holy Ghost, because we have received His DNA.

John 1:12  But as many as received him, to them gave he power to become the sons of God, even to them that believe on his name.

He is saying, he has given us the power to become the sons of God, if we believe on his name and what we say.

Page 2

Romans 8:14-17  For as many as are led by the Spirit of God, they are the sons of God.  15  For ye have not received the spirit of bondage again to fear; but ye have received the Spirit of adoption, whereby we cry, Abba, Father.  16 The Spirit itself beareth witness with our spirit, that we are the children of God: 17  And if children, then heirs; heirs of God, and joint-heirs with Christ; if so be that we suffer with him, that we may be also glorified together.

He is saying if you are led by the Spirit, Jesus, you are his sons. We no longer have received the Spirit of fear, but we have received the Spirit of adoption and we can cry abba Father. His spirit witnesses with our spirit that we are his children. If we are his children, then we are heirs of God and joint heirs with Jesus.

Gal 4:5-7 To redeem them that were under the law, that we might receive the adoption of sons.  6 And because ye are sons, God hath sent forth the Spirit of his Son into your hearts, crying, Abba, Father.  7 Wherefore thou art no more a servant, but a son; and if a son, then an heir of God through Christ.

His death redeems us from the law so we can receive the adoption of sons. He sent the spirit of his son, so we can cry Abba.

1 Peter 2:9 But ye are a chosen generation, a royal priesthood, an holy nation, a peculiar people; that ye should shew forth the praises of him who hath called you out of darkness into his marvelous light.

We who have believed are a chosen generation, we are a royal priesthood to minister to God, a holy and particular people, otherwise different, to show forth the praises of him who called us out of darkness into his marvelous light.

Revelations 1:6  And hath made us kings and priests unto God and his Father; to him be glory and dominion for ever and ever. Amen.

We are made kings and priests unto God and his Father; we are not just a normal person.  Give him glory dominion forever.

Romans 3:22-24  Even the righteousness of God which is by faith of Jesus Christ unto all and upon all them that believe: for there is no difference:  23  For all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God. 24 Being justified freely by his grace through the redemption that is in Christ Jesus.

We have the righteousness of God which is by faith in Jesus Christ unto all and upon all of us that believe. There is no difference, for we have all sinned and come short of the glory of God. We are justified by His grace through the redemption that is in Christ Jesus. 

1 John 3:6-7  Whosoever abideth in him sinneth not: whosoever sinneth hath not seen him, neitherveknown him.  7  Little children, let no man deceive you: he that doeth righteousness is righteous, even as he is righteous.

If you abide in him, you will not sin, if you sin, you have not known him or know him. He is saying, don’t let yourself be deceived. Do righteous to be righteous, just as he is righteous.

Page 3

Romans 8:3  For what the law could not do, in that it was weak through the flesh, God sending his own Son in the likeness of sinful flesh, and for sin, condemned sin in the flesh: For what we could not do, because our flesh is weak. God sent his own Son in the likeness of sinful flesh and for sin condemn sin in the flesh. The only way you can keep from sinning is to walk in his spirit. If not, your flesh will win out.

Romans 8:30 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.

We are predestinated, called and when called we will also be justified, then glorified. No in and out of the Spirit. People justify everything by grace not so or they say, judge no, lest ye be judged.  We must judge according to the word.

Romans 5:19 For as by one man's disobedience many were made sinners, so by the obedience of one shall many be made righteous.

One cannot be righteous sometimes and sinners another. Because we are under grace. Grace keeps us from sin, not in sin.

James 2:22 Seest thou how faith wrought with his works, and by works was faith made perfect?

Faith is wrought by your works and his works in you are made perfect. Men say, we can’t be perfect, but God says, be ye perfect even as He is perfect.

Philippian’s 3:12-15  Not as though I had already attained, either were already perfect: but I follow after, if that I may apprehend that for which also I am apprehended of Christ Jesus.  13  Brethren, I count not myself to have apprehended: but this one thing I do, forgetting those things which are behind, and reaching forth unto those things which are before,  14  I press toward the mark for the prize of the high calling of God in Christ Jesus.  15  Let us therefore, as many as be perfect, be thus minded: and if in any thing ye be otherwise minded, God shall reveal even this unto you.

He is not claiming to have attained or become perfect, but he followed Jesus Christ teaching, so that he could apprehend Jesus Christ. We are not to forget what has happened in our lives, because we have become a new creature in Christ Jesus and we are reaching for the prize before us, in Christ Jesus. He proceeds to press towards the mark of the prize of our high calling of God in Christ Jesus, he is saying let us, as many as be perfect, be this minded, if we are otherwise minded, God will reveal it to you if you allow him to.

Matthews 5:13-14 Ye are the salt of the earth: but if the salt have lost his savour, wherewith shall it be salted? it is thenceforth good for nothing, but to be cast out, and to be trodden under foot of men.  14  Ye are the light of the world. A city that is set on an hill cannot be hid.

Page 4

We are God’s children and the salt of the earth, but if we lose this by sin then we have lost the Savior

Wherewith shall it be salted. It is good for nothing, but to be cast out. We are God’s children and the salt of the earth.

Matthews 19:19  Honour thy father and thy mother: and, Thou shalt love thy neighbor as thyself.

He is saying, give honor to the father and mother, good or bad and then love your neighbor as you love yourself.

John 20:23  Whose soever sins ye remit, they are remitted unto them; and whose soever sins ye retain, they are retained.

You can remit sin and they will be forever forgiven or if you retain them, they are retained. You must walk in God’s way.

Luke 10:19  Behold, I give unto you power to tread on serpents and scorpions, and over all the power of the enemy: and nothing shall by any means hurt you.

He has given us power to tread upon the serpents, scorpions, and over all the power of the enemy. Nothing shall hurt you.

Acts 28:8-9  And it came to pass, that the father of Publius lay sick of a fever and of a bloody flux: to whom Paul entered in, and prayed, and laid his hands on him, and healed him.  9 So when this was done, others also, which had diseases in the island, came, and were healed.

You have the power to heal in Jesus Christ. Just as Paul healed. Years ago, a minister lied on me and turned people from me. The time came a couple of years later, when I took my cousin to be baptized. When the preacher came up out of the water, he had a heart attack, I put my hands on him and spoke the word and he was healed.  Out of his mouth, came these words my daughter has healed thee.  There was the proof of my life.

Acts 3:6 Then Peter said, Silver and gold have I none; but such as I have give I thee: In the name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth rise up and walk. 

Peter just spoke the word, and it can be the same for whosoever will believe.

Act 5:15  Insomuch that they brought forth the sick into the streets, and laid them on beds and couches, that at the least the shadow of Peter passing by might overshadow some of them.

Just as Peter’s shadow healed the people. We can be the same, but there is a life to live. God does have a people even today.

Mat 12:37  For by thy words thou shalt be justified, and by thy words thou shalt be condemned.

Your words justify or your words will condemn you.

1 Corinthians 4:20  For the kingdom of God is not in word, but in power.

Page 5

The kingdom of God is not in the word, but it is the power that is in you that makes the word effective.  Paul says, I did mot come with enticing words, but in power and deforestations of the word. 

1 Corinthians 11:2  Now I praise you, brethren, that ye remember me in all things, and keep the ordinances, as I delivered them to you.

We are to keep the praise to God and know this ordinances and the word as the word teaches us.

Hebrews 13:7 Remember them which have the rule over you, who have spoken unto you the word of God: whose faith follow, considering the end of their conversation.

Remember those who have rule over you or spoken the word of God, follow their faith considering their conversation, according to the word.

Colossians 2:9-10 For in him dwelleth all the fulness of the Godhead bodily.  10  And ye are complete in him, which is the head of all principality and power:

It says the fullness of the Godhead dwelleth in Christ and you are complete in him, for you have received the Holy Ghost and t you have need of nothing. It is all there in you that was in Christ Jesus. You have his DNA and you are sons of God, so walk in his spirit and his image. 

Again, I thank everyone who is faithful in supporting me with prayers and finances.  I am so thankful for God’s prayer warriors.

Dear Saints of God,

Greetings in the name of Jesus, our soon coming King of glory. So many things have happened this last month, But to God be the glory, He has also answered so many prayers for his people.  How can God’s people lose, there are so many promises for his children.

I would like to give a praise report.  According to my prophetess friend in Escondido, California, who proofs and posts my letters, they are going in to 132 countries now.

I had asked the Lord about the prophecies, given to me back many years ago, about going into every country in the world and to every race. He told me this is the way I would go. I have seen many of my prophecies come to pass lately. To God be the glory, for his keeping word. He never fails. That does not mean that I don’t have trials of my own, but God is taking me through them all.

My message is about the 8^th day and a new life for God’s children.

A Seed Must Die to Produce.

I want to talk about our new life and living in the 8^th day. When we receive the Holy Ghost, we are to live a new life. 8 represents a new life, new beginning. 8^th Day Resurrection. We do not live in the past but, live each day as a new day. Noah and his family were eight, representing a new life and order on the earth.

That means dying to self and our past and raising to no past. That means it does not exist, so how can we talk about what doesn’t exist?  When we die, a new life resurrects.

1Co 15:36-37  Thou fool, that which thou Noah and the people with him were 8 representing a new in this world . sowest is not quickened, except it die:  (37)  And that which thou sowest, thou sowest not that body that shall be, but bare grain, it may chance of wheat, or of some other grain:

Page 2

One must die to be quickened. Sown in corruption raised in incorruption. We are raised in power, if we believe the word, we are completely delivered and receive a spiritual body. We live in a natural body until we receive the Holy Ghost, then we are to live in the spirit. Even back in Jacob and Esau’s day. The first man had to serve the second man, the spiritual man. Our first natural man must serve our second man, which is spiritual.  The Holy Ghost filled person.

We were men first on Earth, notice when Jesus came, he was and is heavenly. So, the natural must serve the spiritual. We who are alive must take on the incorruption and the immorality, spoken in:

1 Corinthians 15:52-57 In a moment, in the twinkling of an eye, at the last trump: for the trumpet shall sound, and the dead shall be raised incorruptible, and we shall be changed.  53  For this corruptible must put on incorruption, and this mortal must put on immortality.  54 So whe this corruptible shall have put on incorruption, and this mortal shall have put on immortality, then shall be brought to pass the saying that is written, Death is swallowed up in victory. 55 O death, where is thy sting? O grave, where is thy victory?  56 The sting of death is sin; and the strength of sin is the law.  57 But thanks be to God, which giveth us the victory through our Lord Jesus Christ. 

Not when Jesus returns but that is what the Holy Ghost is for. We have so many who get offended by the truth, because it is not what they believe, but when you die, nothing moves (offends) you. A dead person cannot feel anything, that is the why we are to be dead to self and alive unto Christ. That is how Paul overcame, nothing or no one could get to him, because, he was dead to himself and alive in Christ Jesus. 

There is no sting when one has died to self, that means the corruptible must put on the incorruption, this mortality must put on immortality, which is swallowed up by victory. There is no sting where death is, sting is in sin. The sin is of the law. We have victory over the sting of death, because if you still have hurt (anger) you have not died. The dead in Christ makes us become unmovable because, the fullness of Jesus Christ, changes our lives.

This is no victory in the grave because, we’re not there. We are sitting in heavenly places in Christ Jesus. We have the power of the Holy Ghost all of the time, 24 hours a day. Our life in Jesus Christ eats up the corruption, which gives us the power to speak his word which will come to pass.

This means, living the life of the eight day, which is the resurrection of Jesus Christ.  The 8^th day was the day that Christ resurrected.  We can live the 8^th day every day.  The day begins at 5:00 pm in the evening, then we go through the night and break the fast in the morning.  Breakfast, the word meaning breaking a fast and everything that we do from that 5:00 pm in the evening to 5:00 pm the next day, is a complete day.  If and when you do a sin and you ask God to forgive you or you repent you are forgiven, but will still pay a price just as Aaron, Moses and David.  God forgave David, but he had sickness follow him, Aaron or Moses were forgiven, but they couldn’t go into the promise land, we have grace, but still pay the price. I am not saying you won’t make it in, just that you will pay a price. When you know to do good and make a choice not to do it, it becomes a sin, according to God’s word.  The time you start a new day you have no sin in your life. It’s a new life day, if we believe what the word says.

Page 3

So many people live their life and wait until the evening to ask for forgiveness, then it’s hard to remember the sins that you’ve committed. So it’s to ask for forgiveness when you commit the sin, or by the time that day begins again at 5:00 you have no sin in your life.  People say we’re just human, but we’re not. We are new creatures in Christ Jesus. The Holy Ghost is what gives us power to live that life and there will be no excuse when the end comes.  The fullness of the Godhead dwells bodily in Jesus Christ and we have need of nothing. We are made in his likeness, filled with his Spirit and have the same powers that Jesus Christ has. But you must believe what you speak or it will not happen. There is no power in the word. The power is in you and I.  Anyone can speak the word, but it takes the power in you, for the word to come to pass. Paul said, I come with power and demonstration of the Spirit, not with enticing words. He could have spoken the words all he wanted, but with no power nothing would have happened.

You may ask, how do you live an overcoming life?  By walking in the Spirit, speaking in the Holy Ghost, and the more you speak in tongues, the less you will sin, the less you sin, the more you become like God, because you will not be sinning You will be more God like. This is how you take on incorruption and take on immortality.

People say, your only human, you can’t help but sin, but that’s, not true. We’re not just human, if we have the Holy Ghost. we are in God’s image and walking in his spirit, letting him think for us and direct our footsteps until we know him intimately.

I pray this will encourage everyone to walk in more of the Spirit of God to speak more in the Holy Ghost, to be more like him and less like man. He says in his word, ye are gods, you’ll live like gods but die like men.  The word says it is appointed unto man to die once and we know at least two did not die. So, the death that he is talking about is it is appointed to you to die once when you receive the Holy Ghost and then you’re resurrected in Christ Jesus. The natural death comes later.

I thank everyone who is faithful in supporting me with prayers and finances.  I am so thankful for God’s prayer warriors.

Love in Christ, Rev. Wanda Rust

Praise God,

I praise God, more every day for his goodness and mercies that he shows to me. I find out it does not matter if you are strong or weak, he works through us without fail, if we trust him.

I have gone through so many trials since October of 2025 and all I can say is God is faithful to be there for me. Satan can only do what God allows him to do for our growth. That is why God says, praise him in all things for it is his will at this time. We also need to praise him more and more as the time goes by, because praise is what brings the answers, My message this time is:

Beware of the Pharisees and the Sadducees 

Matthew 16:6  Then Jesus said unto them, Take heed and beware of the leaven of the Pharisees and of the Sadducees.

They thought he was talking about the natural  bread, so he had to explain it to them.

Matthew 16:11-12  How is it that ye do not understand that I spake it not to you concerning bread, that ye should beware of the leaven of the Pharisees and of the Sadducees?  12  Then understood they how that he bade them not beware of the leaven, so he had to explain  of bread, but of the doctrine of the Pharisees and of the Sadducees.

We have our own thoughts of what is said, but he is saying be careful of what you listen to, because it will affect your understanding.  This is still for today.  Many are twisting the word to fit their life and want others to believe the same thing. It only takes a word or two to change the meaning of  his word. but it is not God’s word.

Page 2

Matthew  2 :4  And Jesus answered and said unto them, Take heed that no man deceive you. He is telling us, to be careful  in listening  to what goes into our heart. We think we can do something that looks good,

Luke 11:35  Take heed therefore that the light which is in thee be not darkness.

This  tells us, if it is not according to God’s word, (rightly dividing the word,) don’t receive it.  It does not matter why or how good it may seem, if it is not God’s word or will, then   he is not telling you, because he does not go against his word. 

Luke 21:8  And he said, Take heed that ye be not deceived: for many shall come in my name, saying, I am Christ; and the time draweth near: go ye not therefore after them. 

Many  preachers are leading so many away from the pure word of God, to benefit themselves and to have a following to  lift themselves up to be seen of man and bring in the money. These very people want what the preacher has, not what God has for them.

1Corinthians 3:10 According to the grace of God which is given to me, as a wise masterbuilder, I have laid the foundation, and another buildeth thereon. But let every man take heed how he buildeth thereupon.

We are taught be wise builders, the foundation has been laid, we must be careful how we build, according to his word, not man’s internation.  One can always find a justification for what they do, but it must be according to the word. Remember we are sealed, but a seal can be broken. One may make it into paradise, but what rewards will they receive?

1Corinthians 10:12  Wherefore let him that thinketh he standeth take heed lest he fall.

This says it all, What  we believe may be what we are taught, by good intention, but in  the end the word will testify for or against us. Remember God is merciful to forgive, but what will be the rewards that we receive?  Paradise, His Kingdom, or not at all, like the five foolish  virgins.

Galatians 5:9  A little leaven leaveneth the whole lump.

I love to make bread when I have the time and it only takes a little leaven to change the whole amount of dough.  That is what this is saying, a little sin will ruin your whole life. He says, no spot, wrinkle or blemish will make it in.

Titus 1:16  They profess that they know God; but in works they deny him, being abominable, and disobedient, and unto every good work reprobate.

Look around you today and you will see so many justifying their lives, with the word, or leaving out part of the word. Their works deny their Godly lives and good works are  reprobate.

Page 3

Colossians 2:8  Beware lest any man spoil you through philosophy and vain deceit, after the tradition of men, after the rudiments of the world, and not after Christ.

This is such a good warning to his people.  It cannot be the tradition of man, even when they give you scripture, but do  not have the power.  It is easy to speak the word, but where is power?   We are all to have the power,. The power is not in the word, but is in us, who live an over coming life. The ones who quote the word, are not always the ones who have the power. Only a few have the evidence of power, but God is rising up a people who will speak with power and authority to do His work, not man’s work.

Proverbs 2:6  For the LORD giveth wisdom: out of his mouth cometh knowledge and understanding. We need the Holy Ghost moving in  our lives to receive his wisdom, knowledge and understanding from the Lord.  

Proverbs 8:14  Counsel is mine, and sound wisdom: I am understanding; I have strength.

This is what all of us should be able to say and mean it and have it also.

2Titus 2:7 Consider what I say; and the Lord give thee understanding in all things.

Think about this, the Lord gave us this promise of having understanding in all things, but we must listen, believe and do what he tells us to do.  We say I don’t know, then you need to learn how to listen to his voice, by learning how to wait on him.   Be still and know that I am God.

Men and brethren, I am a Pharisee, the son of a Pharisee: of the hope and resurrection of the dead I am called in question.

We also will be called in question, who or what do we believe?

I thank everyone who is faithful in supporting me with prayers and finances.  I am so thankful for God’s prayer warriors. 

Love in Christ, Rev. Wanda Rust

Praise the Lords Saints, 

May God get all the glory, for what He has taken me through the last four months with my health and problems, one after the other.  God is faithful to us even when going through trials, he would also perform little miracles for me. I can’t praise God enough, for my son Paul, who has been there for me and for those who prayed for me.

We have had some very bitter cold days and nights. One morning we got up to 3 degrees, but felt like 20 below, but very little snow this year. This time I would like to speak about salvation.

Now is the Day of Salvation

2 Corinthians 6:2  For he saith, I have heard thee in a time accepted, and in the day of salvation have I succoured thee: behold, now is the accepted time; behold, now is the day of salvation.

Today, whoever you are or wherever you are and have not been saved or do not know Jesus Christ, now is the time to search and ask God to reveal him to you. He said, he succored you, meaning He has helped you or will help you to find him.  

John 19:30  When Jesus therefore had received the vinegar, he said, It is finished: and he bowed his head, and gave up the ghost.

When he died and rose again on the third day and before he ascended, he told his disciples to wait for the Holy Ghost, speaking in tongues. When you receive the Holy Ghost there will be a manifestation of tongues. This is the evidence that Jesus Christ now lives in you. This is the Holy Ghost that will lead you into all truth.  You do not receive it when you get saved.  People were asked have you received since you believed.  If the apostles had to receive it then we must receive speaking in tongues.

Page 2

1 Corinthians  6:20  For ye are bought with a price: therefore glorify God in your body, and in your spirit, which are God's.

He bought us with the price by shedding his blood and to died, to pay for our sins and to redeem us. We truly belong to him. There has not been anyone die for you and rise again to buy you back, except JESUS CHRIST. That is why we  must glorify God in our body and  spirit. This is why the enemy would like to destroy us, before God can save us.

2 Corinthians 4:11  For we which live are alway delivered unto death for Jesus' sake, that the life also of Jesus might be made manifest in our mortal flesh. 

This is why Satan is always after us, to try and destroy us, so we will not be able to be his testament of what Jesus Christ can do in us, when we have the Holy Ghost, we have his power to resist Satan and come under the protection of Jesus Christ. We have power over all the enemy tries to do.

Psalms 18:6  In my distress I called upon the LORD, and cried unto my God: he heard my voice out of his temple, and my cry came before him, even into his ears.

Listen to what he is saying, when you are in distress you can call upon the LORD, and cry unto God, and he will hear you, because your cry goes to the ears of God. Praise God, no man or other god can do this for us, but we must be purchased and receive the Holy Ghost for the power.

Psalms 69:13  But as for me, my prayer is unto thee, O LORD, in an acceptable time: O God, in the multitude of thy mercy hear me, in the truth of thy salvation.

Psalms, tells us it is an acceptable time of the Lord for his multitude of mercy in the truth of his salvation. We need to be in prayer so we can know his truth to be prepared for what is coming.

Micah 7:7-9  Therefore I will look unto the LORD; I will wait for the God of my salvation: my God will hear me.  8  Rejoice not against me, O mine enemy: when I fall, I shall arise; when I sit in darkness, the LORD shall be a light unto me.  9  I will bear the indignation of the LORD, because I have sinned against him, until he plead my cause, and execute judgment for me: he will bring me forth to the light, and I shall behold his righteousness.

Praise God, if we look unto the Lord and wait for the God of our salvation, he will hear us. Let not the enemy rejoice when I fall, because I will rise again and when I sit in darkness he will be my light. If I sin against him, I will bear the indignation of the LORD, but he will plead my cause and he will execute judgement for me. He will bring me into the light, and I will behold his righteousness.

Isaiah 49:8-11  Thus saith the LORD, In an acceptable time have I heard thee, and in a day of salvation have I helped thee: and I will preserve thee, and give thee for a covenant of the people, to establish the earth, to cause to inherit the desolate heritages;  9 That thou mayest say to the prisoners, Go forth; to them that are in darkness, Shew yourselves. They shall feed in the ways, and their pastures shall be in all high places.  10  They shall not hunger nor thirst; neither shall the heat nor sun smite them: for he that hath mercy on them shall lead them, even by the springs of water shall he guide them.  (11)  And I will make all my mountains a way, and my highways shall be exalted.

Page 3

In the acceptable time he has heard us and in a day of salvation he will help us and will preserve us and will give us for a covenant for the people, so he can establish the earth and cause us to inherit our heritage, so we can also say go forth to them in darkness. To show ourselves, to those that are in darkness, show yourselves, then they shall feed in the way, and their pastures shall be in all high places and they no longer will thirst, neither heat nor sun be there.  He will lead them by springs of water   and guide them.  He will take all his mountains away and his highways shall be exalted. This is what he will do, for those who have the Holy Ghost and let him guide them.

3 Jonn 1:2  Beloved, I wish above all things that thou mayest prosper and be in health, even as thy soul prospereth.

He wants us to prosper above all things, that we may prosper in our health even as our soul prospers.  So even our health depends on our soul, but we will be testes and tried.

I thank everyone who is faithful in supporting me with prayers and finances.  I am so thankful for God’s prayer warriors.

January 15, 2026

Dear Saints, 

Praise the Lord one more time for his goodness and mercy. We had a horrible Christmas with Covid.  We are just now getting back to normal.  The hospital was a piece of cake compared to this experience.  Thanks again for all the prayers and concerns again.  I am so glad, that I know my Savior Jesus Christ and his peace while going through what God is taking me through and thank God for Paul, wouldn’t have made it without him.  He had to do some of the cooking,  I was just too weak, but here we are back to almost normal.  I often wonder how people make it that don’t know Jesus.

I would like to talk about living the life that God has for us to live.

Living the Life, He Purchased for Us 

Ephesians 2:5-6 Even when we were dead in sins, hath quickened us together with Christ, (by grace ye are saved;) 6  And hath raised us up together, and made us sit together in heavenly places in Christ Jesus.

The dwelling place of God is where Jesus is, The Throne Room. We can be there according to this scripture, but we must allow God to quicken us. Walking in complete obedience to His will and His word, for he is the word.

Ephesians 2:8 For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God.  Christ is seated by the Father, where all power and dominions are seated, and if we are obedient to him, we can sit there also.

John 1:3 All things were made by him; and without him was not any thing made that was made. He says even the rocks will cry out, if we don’t .If he made us, then he knows how to shape us into what he desires us to be.

Colossians 2:9 For in him dwelleth all the fulness of the Godhead bodily. We have access to all that Jesus has, we are in him and taken to the same place. He says we have need of nothing, why because his fullness can be our fullness, by obeying his spirit, not what we think or feel.

Ephesians 1:20-23  Which he wrought in Christ, when he raised him from the dead, and set him at his own right hand in the heavenly places,  21  Far above all principality, and power, and might, and dominion, and every name that is named, not only in this world, but also in that which is to come:  22   And hath put all things under his feet, and gave him to be the head over all things to the church,  23  Which is his body, the fulness of him that filleth all in all.

Examine ourselves, are we living in heavenly places? Far above all principalities’, power, might and dominion and every name that is named. This is the only way we win the battle, surrender ourselves to the Spirit. When we walk in perfect peace, we are walking in the kingdom of God.

Ephesians 2:6 And hath raised us up together, and made us sit together in heavenly places in Christ Jesus: This doesn’t say he is going to, but he has already done it, but we must believe it.

John 14:2 In my Father's house are many mansions: if it were not so, I would have told you. I go to prepare a place for you. We will each have our own place, ready for when we get there. In the mean time we can live an overcoming life, here on this earth, because of the Holy Ghost,

Ephesians 1:3 Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who hath blessed us with all spiritual blessings in heavenly places in Christ.

To have these blessings, we must be seated with him, in heavenly places.   C. S. Lewis said, “the greatest enemy to the church is contented worldliness.” The promises are for now, even though we see wickedness.

Ephesians 1:17-19  That the God of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of glory, may give unto you the spirit of wisdom and revelation in the knowledge of him:  18  The eyes of your understanding being enlightened; that ye may know what is the hope of his calling, and what the riches of the glory of his inheritance in the saints,  19  And what is the exceeding greatness of his power to us-ward who believe, according to the working of his mighty power.

Just think, we have these blessing now, if we believe and live a surrendered life to Christ through the Holy Ghost.  He is everything. 

2 Corinthian’s 13:5 Examine yourselves, whether ye be in the faith; prove your own selves. Know ye not your own selves, how that Jesus Christ is in you, except ye be reprobates?

The day you cry out to God, there must be more, will be your awaking day. You say you love Jesus, but are you experiencing the throne room life? He basically does the work; you just have to yield and be obedient to his spirit.

Romans 12:1 I beseech you therefore, brethren, by the mercies of God, that ye present your bodies a living sacrifice, holy, acceptable unto God, which is your reasonable service.

The Greek word for living, suggests life-long an abiding commitment, a sacrifice that is life-long. Not what we want or think to do, knowing that we are wrong. It is his mercies.

Hebrews 9:26 For then must he often have suffered since the foundation of the world: but now once in the end of the world hath he appeared to put away sin by the sacrifice of himself.  The word tells us that if he is alive in us, we cannot sin, unless we over- ride his spirit.

Hebrews 10:7 Then said I, Lo, I come (in the volume of the book it is written of me,) to do thy will, O God. Not his or our will, but God his Father’s will, because only he knows our hearts.

Matthew 6:22 The light of the body is the eye: if therefore thine eye be single, thy whole body shall be full of light. If our eyes are what we see, then we must be careful that our eyes are only upon him, no one else.  Being careful about what we watch on TV or even listen to, because it will come through in your spirit. We must have a single eye that reaches out for the Holy Spiri and lean on the Holy Spirit and don’t compromise.

John 8:28 Then said Jesus unto them, when ye have lifted up the Son of man, then shall ye know that I am he, and that I do nothing of myself; but as my Father hath taught me, I speak these things. We must become the same way, as we are taught of God according to his word.

Hebrews 2:10 For it became him, for whom are all things, and by whom are all things, in bringing many sons unto glory, to make the captain of their salvation perfect through sufferings.  I know we do not want to suffer and the enemy tells us we shouldn’t have to, if we serve God, but he learned obedience through suffering. He also said, if you rule with me you must suffer with me.

Hebrews 2:13 And again, I will put my trust in him. And again, Behold I and the children which God hath given me. We know that he can be trusted, when we walk in obedience.

Romans 8:28 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 says all things, not some things, are working for our good.  The enemy says, how can this be, but God flips it in the end for our good.

Romans 12:1-2 I beseech you therefore, brethren, by the mercies of God, that ye present your bodies a living sacrifice, holy, acceptable unto God, which is your reasonable service.  2  And be not conformed to this world: but be ye transformed by the renewing of your mind, that ye may prove what is that good, and acceptable, and perfect, will of God. He considers this reasonable, not special.  He expects this of us.  To live and rejoice in whatever we are going through.  We say, but you don’t understand what I am going through.  Jesus knows this is what it takes to make us into his image. It is true whether we like it or not.  I want to be like Him.  Praise God.

Once again, I thank everyone who is faithful in supporting me with prayers and finances.
