Living Faith

Jesus is the Good Shepherd and He is able to take care of His sheep best when they follow Him. A big part of the Shepherd's job is to keep the sheep from all harm. We won't have to worry about harm in Heaven, that's why He is our Shepherd NOW. It is so important to be a good sheep, an obedient sheep. Not because God wants us burdened with commandments, He wants us Blessed with eternal life and kept from perishing in this life — because we follow hard after Him . .

One of the Redemptive Covenant Names of God in the Bible is The LORD Our Keeper. It is similar to The LORD My Shepherd, for a shepherd is a keeper of sheep. The LORD Our Keeper specifically relates to God being our Protector and Guardian. Keep means to Guard, to Protect, to Defend. Hallelujah! The Bible tells us The LORD God keeps us from all harm. Thank You, Jesus . .

It also means to Maintain and Sustain so that something/someone Remains. Like keeping up maintenance on your car with gas to run it by and changes of oil and replacement of parts – God keeps His people from all harm. Thank You, Jesus . .

"The LORD is My Shepherd, I shall not want." What does that mean and how do we come to the place where we want for nothing? A shepherd is a keeper of sheep. The Bible tells us The LORD is Our Shepherd and WE are the sheep of His pasture. As Our Shepherd, He leads and feeds and protects and heals us – if we line up with Him in our faith and obedience. If we are going to be good sheep we must follow our Good Shepherd. Which will lead us to the Provision and keep us in His Protection.

The Healer is in the house tonight! Jesus IS the Healer. One of God's Redemptive Covenant Names is Jehovah Rapha, The LORD Our Healer. He WAS The LORD Our Healer then, He is STILL the Healer today. Nobody can say He is no longer the Healer of our physical bodies today because God Himself said, "I the LORD do not change. So you... are not destroyed" (Malachi 3:10). "Jesus Christ is the same yesterday and today and forever" Hebrews 13:8).

God's Redemptive Covenant Names reveal who He is and what wants to be in our lives. Two of the names by which God has revealed Himself in His Word is The LORD Our Righteousness and The LORD Who Sanctifies us. Righteousness is the ability to stand in the Presence of God without any sense of sin, guilt, shame or insecurity – and only comes through faith in Jesus. Sanctification is the process of being made Holy. The Lord Himself is the one who is our Rightness and the One who makes us Holy – not our pious rule keeping or devotion to men's traditions. We can say with the Psalmist, "For our heart rejoices in Him, Because we trust in His holy name" (Psalm 33:21 NASB95) . .

God has many different names throughout the Bible, but there is actually a vein of names we refer to as God's Redemptive Covenant Names. These names reveal who God wants to be to us. And He NEVER changes. They are the combination of God's Covenant name of Jehovah or The LORD with titles such as our Provider, our Healer, or Peace, our Righteousness and others. These describe what God does for us and who He is to us. No one can say the great I AM is the I WAS. These names reveal who God IS and always will be to those in Covenant with Him . .

There is an important question everyone, especially every child of God, should be clear about. My thoughts or your thoughts won't satisfy the heart's longing for Truth. We look inside the Bible for answers to Bible questions. Is it God's will for men to perish and be destroyed? If you think it is God's will for some men to perish at some times, you cannot stand against destruction when it comes to you. Because you are not certain of God's will. The Word of God reveals the will of God. Faith begins where the will of God is Known . .

For the majority of people who call themselves Christian, most of what they believe is not what the Bible actually says, but only what men have taught them that it means. Which is not the same at all. One makes you religious and even nice, but the other actually changes you and makes you like Jesus, effective for the Kingdom of God. His Kingdom is not a matter of talk, but of Power. Can others see the fruit of the Word in your life? Or are you satisfied with being nice and religious . .

All throughout in Scripture God tells us about the good things He has paid for His people to have. But do you know how many believers' lives are being destroyed from things Jesus redeemed us from? . . . Most. . . Because they don't have the Revelation of Redemption. The knowledge of God, who is Spirit, is spiritual. And spiritual knowledge comes by the Holy Spirit revealing it to our hearts. That's why hearing the Anointed Word is so important. It deposits the Revelation Knowledge of God in our hearts where it can begin to grow and produce fruit . .

Sermon from 15 Nov. 2023 Why are there wars and why do people kill each other, with children being massacred. Why are there tornadoes and earthquakes and global catastrophes. Why do good people die and why do bad people die, why do bad things happen . .

Forgiveness of sins is the first benefit for those who believe in Jesus because sin is the cause of all the rest of the bad things that you need redeemed from. Not complicated, right. Once Jesus solved the sin problem He dealt a death blow to everything else springing from sin – death and destruction, disease and troubles. There are many things Christ did not have to redeem us from in order to forgive us of sin and allow us into Heaven. There are a lot of things Jesus did not have to go through if all God wanted done was the forgiveness of sin. But He paid the price for all of it anyways . .

As true believers in Jesus, we do not merely have a positive religion – we have a Powerful Faith. Real faith can receive and walk in what Jesus paid for. One of the things Jesus paid for that our faith can receive is Healing for our physical bodies. Hallelujah! We have experienced this blessing for many years to the glory of God. The Bible says that "the rod" and "stripes" are part of the punishment due sin and foolishness. Jesus took our punishment for sin and foolishness when He subjected Himself to the Roman scourge, receiving stripes on His physical body. He did it on our behalf, thereby purchasing Healing for us all . .

What is Healing? In a few words it is Recovery, to be Cured, Restoration. Healing is the restoring of something from a damaged, distorted, or broken condition. The good news is that Healing is in the Redemption. Which is what Jesus paid to have us, and what Jesus paid for us to have. Certainly anything that Jesus paid for in Redemption, you don't have to ask if it is God's Will or not. He proved His Will when He showed what He was willing to pay for it. Therefore Healing is not a mystery, it can be received by any child of God who will pray the prayer of faith Jesus instructed us about in Mark 11:24 . .

Christ has Redeemed us from the Curse of the Law. When did He do this? At the Cross. In the very same action that paid for sin. Galatians 3:13 NKJV says, "Christ has redeemed us from the curse of the law, having become a curse for us (for it is written, “Cursed is everyone who hangs on a tree”)." Everything in the Curse is something Christ has redeemed us from. Hallelujah! All sickness and disease are part of the Curse. Therefore Christ has redeemed us from sickness and diseae to live a healthy life in the service of God . .

Galatians 3:13 NKJV says, "Christ has redeemed us from the curse of the law, having become a curse for us (for it is written, “Cursed is everyone who hangs on a tree”)." When we go back to the Old Testament, God expounded the Curse of the Law through Moses. Everything in the Curse is something Christ has redeemed us from. Hallelujah! One of the things repeatedly spoken of is sickness and disease. Sickness is a curse. Therefore Healing for our physical bodies is in the Redemption of Christ . .

There used to be a joining between me and sin. I identified with it, I was under it's authority, sin was my master. But since Jesus came and paid the price for my freedom – I have been set apart from sin and all the death came with sin. I have been joined to Jesus, I identify with Him now, I'm under the authority of grace, and I have a New Master. Because of Christ's redemption I am no longer cursed in sin – I am Blessed in Him! And you can be too . .

How much do you give God to work with in your life. How much time, how much attention, how much belief and love, how much money. God has given everyone of us "the measure of faith" Romans 12:3 says. A measure that includes everything we need – and it can grow. If you bring God the measure you have, He will fill it. If you bring Him more He will fill more. The problem is never on the giving end, but only on the receieving end. God will occupy whatever space you allow Him to fill . .

When it comes to receiving from God, faith and parience work together to bring us into alignment with His promises. If it weren't for faith we would not have much to be patient about. If it weren't for patience, a lot of what we hope God to do would not have time to show up! Faith is essential, and though patience is much less popular it is no less needed for what we believe to become sight. We also begin with a little message against fear because we are in the Halloween season and no matter whatever else Christians do during this season, we should have nothing to do the spirit of fear . .

The Bible tells us that God has distributed a measure of faith to each of us. And Jesus said, "With the same measure YOU use, it will be measured to you...." That means two things : None of us are without faith and no matter how great God's grace is, we receive according to our faith. Religion has created a Sovereignty of God the Scripture does not recognize. It was out of God's Sovereignty that we receive from Him "by grace through faith" . .

Jesus said, "With the same measure YOU use, it will be measured to you...." The Bible tells us that God has distributed a measure of faith to each of us. That means both that none of us are without faith and all of us are without excuse for not using what faith we have. What we do with our faith determines whether it grows or stays the same size. If it grows we can receive more from God. Hallelujah! For we receive from God "by the hearing of [our] faith." (see Galatians 3:1-5) Well, if we want better results from God's grace we should use our measure of faith . .

Colossians 2:10 tells that we have been made Complete in Christ. Nothing missing, nothing broken, nothing partial or lacking. Oh, what wholeness and wellness we have in Christ Jesus – spirit soul and body. Hallelujah! But why do we not see more of God's children experiencing this wholeness? Is it God's fault? No. He has already made us complete in Christ. There is a simple yet powerful key hidden in [the plain sight of] the Word of God, that if we line up with it – it works. If we don't, it won't. What is it? Well let's look at it in the Word together . .

One aspect of faith is entering The Lord's sabbath Rest, which is not necessarily the absence of activity, but the receiving and enjoying of what God has already provided. God rested from His work because He was finished, we rest from our [dead] works because our works don't add to what He's finished. In the rest of faith we can relax and receive what God has already accomplished for us in Christ . .

God did not rest on the 7th Day because He was tired – He rested because He was finished. Finished with the work of creation. In the New Testament when God invites mankind to enter His Rest, He is talking about receiving the benefits of Christ's work completed at the Cross. Jesus Himself cried out with a loud voice, "It is finished!" before breathing His last. Nothing is left undone on God's part for all men to be saved, healed, prosperous and provided for – except to Receive it by Faith on their part. Thank You, Lord! That is what it means to Enter His Rest . .

Everything that God offers mankind in Christ is a work He has completely finished. God is not GOING TO save anybody – He ALREADY HAS saved everybody through Jesus. But not all are saved because we each have to Receive what Christ has done individually by faith. It is the same with healing, provision, protection and any other grace God provides. Whatever we need is already offered us in its entirety as the free gift in Christ that it is, but we have to Receive grace by Faith or we will never experience it . .
