Hi there,

So I had a personal revelation, that I wanted to share. The idea is simple: God's Will is first. How ever you identify, whatever you think you are, you can remain as you were, if you submit to the Will of God. You were not in times past against God, you did not do evil, in principle you were perfect - not because of your own doing, but because God had made you, but had yet to breath into you life. If you did not have life, you could not have sinned. But that changes.

What changes is that you start to do things - once you have received the breath of life - you start to do things that are contrary to the will of God. You take what He has created and you pervert it - you forget the Will of God. You may be a god, you may be an angel, you may be a man, but you no longer define yourself by your relationship to God and the Spirit of God within you is (perhaps partially, perhaps greatly) destroyed. This has to stop!

If you can come back to God, with your person, who you think you are, then God will receive you. That is the point of the love of God, He never refuses to forgive, to the very end. That relationship, restored, gives who you think you are meaning. You are able to live, if you are able to relate. You are able to live to God, if you are able to relate to God. See the transformation there?

Now the Devil will try to attack you, on this point, but if you remain firm in God, he (the Devil) will have no choice but to retreat, turn and run. There is power in this, because you are able to encourage others to have a right relationship to God as well. When every man stands before God as One, God redeems Man as new. This newness fulfils the promise of God, that men have love before God that nothing and no one can take from them. The Nephesh (breath) of God, unites all living creatures that will confess God as God. If you can understand this, there is a chance for you to "take part" in the Glory of God (as God sees it, not as you do - for you are mortal, apart from a relationship to God).

I hope this has been of some encouragement.

God bless.

Dear Gottservent,
God's "will" rules supreme. No one has ever resisted God's "will" because mankind does not have a "free" will ability as many suppose.

Rom 9:18 Therefore hath he mercy on whom he will have mercy, and whom he will he hardeneth. 19 Thou wilt say then unto me, Why doth he yet find fault? For who hath resisted his will? 20 Nay but, O man, who art thou that repliest against God? Shall the thing formed say to him that formed it, Why hast thou made me thus?

Prov 16:1 The preparations of the heart in man, and the answer of the tongue, is from the LORD.

Prov 20:24 Man's goings are of the LORD; how can a man then understand his own way?


Jer 10:23 I know, Jehovah, that the way of man is not his own; it is not in a man that walketh to direct his steps.

The belief that mankind can resist the will of God and travel their own pathway in life is a lie that comes from the spirit of anti-Christ. It is from this lie that a "babe" will mix in their own "works" with the works of Christ. When a believer does this mixing of the Old and New Wines, they are committing the one and only sin that leads to death (a loss of salvation).

Prov 23:26 My son, give me thine heart, and let thine eyes observe my ways. 27 For a whore is a deep ditch; and a strange woman is a narrow pit. 28 She also lieth in wait as for a prey, and increaseth the transgressors among men. 29 Who hath woe? who hath sorrow? who hath contentions? who hath babbling? who hath wounds without cause? who hath redness of eyes? 30 They (babes in Christ) that tarry long at the wine; they that go to seek mixed wine. 31 Look not thou upon the wine when it is red (Old Wine), when it giveth his colour in the cup, when it moveth itself (man’s works) aright. 32 At the last it biteth like a serpent, and stingeth like an adder.

There is a difference between resistance in the spirit (which man cannot do) and resistance in the flesh (which man can do, for a season).

Don't object to Earth because you live in Heaven?
