HAS THE LOVE OF GOD CONVINCED YOU YET?

2^ND CORINTHIANS 5:14-21 ¹⁴For the love of Christ controls and urges and impels us, because we are of the opinion and conviction that if One died for all, then all died;

¹⁵And He died for all, so that all those who live might live no longer to and for themselves, but to and for Him Who died and was raised again for their sake.

    ¹⁶Consequently, from now on we estimate and regard no one from a purely human point of view in terms of natural standards of value. No, even thou gh we once did estimate Christ from a human viewpoint and as a man, yet now we have such knowledge of Him that we know Him no longer in terms of the flesh.

    ¹⁷Therefore if any person is engrafted in Christ the Messiah he is a new creation, a new creature altogether; the old previous moral and spiritual condition has passed away. Behold! The fresh and new has come!

    ¹⁸But all things are from God, Who through Jesus Christ reconciled us to Himself, received us into favor, brought us into harmony with Himself and gave to us the ministry of reconciliation that by word and deed we might aim to bring others into harmony with Him.

    ¹⁹It was God personally present in Christ, reconciling and restoring the world to favor with Himself, not counting up and holding against men their trespasses, but canceling them, and committing to us the message of reconciliation, of the restoration to favor.

    ²⁰So we are Christ’s ambassadors, God making His appeal as it were through us. We as Christ’s personal representatives beg you for His sake to lay hold of the divine favor now offered you and be reconciled to God.

    ²¹For our sake He made Christ virtually to be sin Who knew no sin, so that in and through Him we might become endued with, viewed as being in, and examples of the righteousness of God [what we ought to be, approved and acceptable and in right relationship with Him, by His goodness].                                                                                                       Amplified Bible

The Spirit of Paul’s words were saying this………………………………………………………

HAS THE LOVE OF GOD CONVINCED YOU YET?

Has the love of God convinced you yet? It has convinced us and so we plead His judicial case with you all. We were all dead in sin, wretched and alienated from Life. He died to reconcile us all. And if He died, we all thus died in Him because he came to us to re-present us to the Father as holy in Him. He is indeed the vessel we all find ourselves housed in and have you reckoned the fact, that you yourselves are now dead to this world? And now that He is raised, have you realized that you are now apprehended and captured by His indwelling life and that Life now possesses you?

Have you basked in Love long enough to realize what Love did for you and do you not have a heart full of worshipful gratitude and reverential awe for who Life is and what Love accomplished on your behalf? Is it so unjust to suggest that we no longer live for ourselves but rather live to the praise and glory of The One who endured such suffering, died and rose again? I stand here as His ambassador and vice regent with full legal justification and authority to claim these facts. And in light of these facts, we therefore no longer regard or consider the flesh of a man as constitutionally relevant to the judicial claims and decrees of the New Covenant. We no longer appraise a man or woman based upon temporal conditions, attitudes and situations that stem from the curse of the law or from natures law in general. Christ himself is no longer what He was as a mere man in the flesh for He too was changed upon resurrection from the dead and as the firstborn from among the dead, we no longer see Him as a man of flesh but as The Life giving Spirit that He is and also as our High Priest who lives after the power of an endless life!  He, as our representative has bound himself to the judicial decrees of the New Covenant for He is the avenue of its ratification. Therefore and because of this plain fact, if any man is in Christ, seized and apprehended by Love, he too is a new creation, a new species of man in the same exact likeness and nature of who Christ is, just as if he too was raised from the dead when Christ Himself was risen 3 days after His crucifixion.

Behold, come and see, inspect closely my claim and view for yourselves through the lenses of Love that indeed all old things of the past are decayed and wasted away as dust, that the vague smoky dream of an empty lifeless past is now gone and that deaths power no longer has dominion over you. Have you put on the lenses of Love? Are you looking at life through The One who is now your life? Are you looking through His eyes? In His eyes, old things have past away and now in Him all things are as fresh a newborn babe, a new sunrise and its as if sin had never entered the Earth. A new Covenant is established and eternal reconciliation and redemption has finally come. 

In Christ all things are of God and find their purpose for being, and in Him, we find ourselves fitted for ministry to reconcile a remaining world, telling them this same judicial decree that never dims or lacks enforcement, explaining and proclaiming that God was in Christ reconciling the world to Himself, restoring brotherly affection and family ties through convincing and provoking Love.

And this Love doesn’t hold a mans sins against him or over him but reaches out to make whole and free the object Love extends itself to without any sense of recompense or payment. This is the word committed to us. This is the truth, which God desires reconciliation with man and He will never, no not ever change His mind about it, never! He has already demonstrated His intention by giving up all that He is. Because, we know these things as fact, and consider Christ as He is, seated in heavenly places with all authority, dominion and power, we as His appointed and anointed ambassadors and vice regents stand before you as if the King of the universe is standing before you.

That confidence comes from him and is secured by His love. We plead with you on behalf of the King who has sent us to you, be reconciled to Him, accept Him in your hearts and believe the Love He has for you! The sum of these statements is this and they are true.

He who never ever sinned, nor even had the nature of sin became the full measure of what sin was, and is. He did this so that He could completely and utterly absorb the horror of its effects on our minds, bodies and spirit. He removed the fence that penned us up in satan’s torturous death camp of miserable darkness so that He, by His death, could exchange our death for His life and give us all that accompanies relationship with the Father of Heaven where full joy, ecstasy, health and peace beyond comprehension never wanes or ceases, where His righteousness becomes ours, as a free gift of love. 

We know Him as He is now and we boldly announce to you His heart and can confidently say that He offers this to us with a twinkle in His eye, a smile on his lips, and with joy in His heart. We are now righteous even as He is righteous.

I ask you again………….. Has the love of God convinced you yet?

WHERE IS YOUR GOD?

WHERE IS GOD?

IS HE OVER THERE OR OVER HERE?

Where is He? Do you know? Your answer to this question is vital in determining the level of assurance you have in believing His love for you. It is essential that we put away any mis-informed religious opinions on this issue because our opinion means nothing if it does not line up with truth.  He is Truth. Our mis-informed opinions will hinder us and lead us astray. There is a way that seems right to a man but the outcome of it leads to death. As believers we are to live by His faith, not our opinions. Without a revelation of the full person of Jesus Christ that reveals His love and grace, man is left with ignorant opinion which produces bondage. To experience the fullness of who He is we must embrace the full scope of what He has done for us and what He has declared to us.

Without truth, a mans opinion is un-enlightened guesswork concerning the spiritual realities of Christ because his opinion is founded upon temporal circumstances and wounded history, alienated from the life of God. In this case, opinion makes the Word of God and the truths of the Spirit subject to earthly circumstances for validation rather than the other way around. At the root, this tendency springs from an unbelieving and un-renewed mindset.

All too often the model becomes: Faith was or faith is going to be … rather than….  Now, Faith is!

This reveals a distance from Him and at most, a disconnect at the heart where trust is nurtured and real son ship is established. It also reveals a distance in time and/or space where our sense of family bond and kinship to Him is numbed and a sense of distance grows. Indirectly, these things produce timidity and shame and in the end, prevent real intimacy with Him. This is the spirit of bondage again to fear because when all is said and done; He is the God over there, not God with me. For far too many that I know of, God is distant. I know because I hear those words come out of their mouths. Their hearts ache for peace and fulfillment. For many, He is the God who is over there; He’s the man upstairs, the big guy in the sky, the one watching from above, the all powerful force or the higher power. And you know what; you never know what He’s up to! He’s so far above us! Hey, He’s got a lot on His plate. They say; I don’t know what He’s doing. What is He trying to say to me? I talk but He doesn’t seem to be listening. What do I have to do to get His attention? When is He going to show up on the scene? When is my break through going to happen? When, when, when..?

All these cries of the heart come before the throne and enter our Loving Lords ears. He is our High Priest and He lives to intercede on our behalf. Do not be afraid and lose heart. We are in His heart on always on His mind. We are even tattooed on the palms of His hands. I want you to receive and understand that reality.

 “Real faith is not the denial of inferior realities but the embrace of superior realities” The difference between surviving or thriving in life  has always been about embracing God’s perspective on things. Let God be true and every man a liar! If we will not get our minds right about this fact and ask the Lord to engraft this truth in our heart we will struggle through life as victims rather than living as life’s victors. Truth has come to us. Have you really received? Are you walking in Him? Have you let your circumstances and mistaken beliefs rob you of a great inheritance? Have you let someone in the past define you or disqualify you by acting as an umpire over your life? Whose report do you believe? God or theirs?

If you call yourself a follower of Christ, I want you to know that all you need from the Lord is already within you. He never gives us something apart from who He is and when He gives to us He does it in full measure completely! He came to us and continues to come to us in the full measure of His splendor. Healing, Health, Prosperity, Peace, Joy, Fulfillment, Life, Abundance, Courage, Hope, and so many others are not attributes of His. These are the overflowing flavors and aromas of who He is! Hallelujah! There is no Healing with out the Healer. There is no Peace with out the Prince of it.  Life is measured by The One who gave it! He is the full measure and substance of everything. He came to us and gave Himself to us without measure, unreservedly, profusely, liberally and beyond anything we could have hoped or dreamed of. This is the superior reality of your life! Christ is in you! You are one with Him! You are seated with authority, power and dominion. He is your life! Are you trying to be like Christ? Please stop.  As He is, so are you in the world! He that is joined to the Lord is one spirit with Him! For me to live is Christ!

He has blessed us with every spiritual blessing and has given us all things that pertain to life and godliness. This is true because we have Him, not something from Him that is separate or over there apart from Him. We have Him! He is Emmanuel! GOD WITH US!! He who has the Son has Life! Zoë: the life of God that is abundant in quantity and excellent in quality. This is in you now and it is your rightful inheritance in Him. Are you in Him? Are you His? Is He Yours? Is He in you now? If so, this is the picture that fills the framework of your life. The framework of your life finds it purpose and meaning around the picture you display. What are you displaying?  Your opinions and all that that entails? or your faith in the superior realities which have been given to you freely and abundantly? If you’re not experiencing the Life of Christ on the level you desire, you may need to change out the picture so that the framework of your life finds its true God breathed purpose and fulfillment. I know your mind is racing! It’s telling you; your broke, you got crumbs in the bank and that’s the difference between you in your house or life on the street. It’s telling you; you’re sick and have been for years. Hey! It’s hereditary so you might as well embrace it and get on with life, no sense in complaining, but you’re heartsick over the fact that you can’t stop yourself from doing just that. Your mind is telling you; it’s too late, I’m too old and tired. My best days are behind me and I really blew my life. I’ve been a fool! How can a man be born again when he is old! What meaning can my life have now? Your mind is telling you; that person abused you and polluted your youth, they took your innocence and you will never recapture it! Your dirty and don’t deserve to be happy! You’ll never amount to anything in this life! It’s telling you; you blew it! You had a life of leisure and blessing but you squandered it all away. Some faithful steward you are! God will never trust you again with blessing and good things, you can’t handle them.

Hello…………….! Is anybody listening?

The devil is the accuser of the brethren. He is a liar and the father of them all. He is at this moment a stripped down vanquished foe. A small minded corrupted angel that is defeated. The nations of the earth are one day going to gather and declare in absolute astonishment and bewilderment “Is this the thing that deceived the nations of the earth?”

You might compare this scenario to a single maggot stopping a NASA Space Shuttle launch! Are you getting my point yet? Change the picture; change the perspective, the Holy Spirit is willing and able to empower you for your painting pleasure!

In my Study Materials section of this Kingdom Crier web site I’ve included some watercolors and oils for your creative enjoyment and have laid out a faith building buffet table for your hungry inner man.

If you think that God is trying to get something from you, you’re wrong. Read Corinthians 13 and realize that it is God’s love letter to you. He never seeks His own, Love always pursues and believes the best of us. It always goes out of its way to touch us and empower us. God is not trying to get something from you… He’s trying to get things to you! Things like Wisdom, Peace, Joy, Love, Courage, Boldness, Prosperity, Health, and Wholeness on every level. There is only one thing you need to do in this life and out of that one thing, everything else will take care of itself.

Never forget what Jesus said to Martha; Martha, Martha, you are troubled and concerned over many things but one thing is needful and Mary has chosen the better part which will not be taken away from her. This is the essence of Matt.6:33 “Seek first the Kingdom of God and His Righteousness and all these things shall be added unto you” Do you think Jesus needs your ministry or servitude? If so, please stop and sit down. Draw from Him. He will not take away your rest and order you to be a busy Martha. Mary sat down and drew from The Savior. Jesus said that her position of sitting at his feet, resting and drawing from Him was “The Better Part” that would not be taken from her. Please consider my message carefully and be encouraged. You are more than you know in Him. I was compelled of the Lord to encourage you and give you this word of hope.

Please rest and draw from Jesus, He desires to fellowship with you.

Shalom, Shalom

Tony
