Divide the Word. Don't speak the language of the promise, because you're speaking and living inside the fulfilled promise of the Spirit. When you speak the exceeding great and precious promises, you must speak them as a partaker of the divine nature and a person who has escaped the corruption that is in the world. The same writer calls you "living stones" and he says God has called you "out of darkness into His marvelous Light."

[FemiJACOBS @FemiJACOBS]

This is so critical. The answer to this question may be unsettling in the beginning. Sweet crisis. But if you do NOT receive God's forgiveness in its utter ridiculousness and stunning graciousness, it will be hard to receive anything else from the Father. Your thesis about your forgiveness in Christ determines the intensity of your communion and the accuracy of your perception. A sin-conscious soul will be spiritually poor and percetibly dull. A binary mindset is an eternal life blocker.

"ki chananani Elohim, v'chi yesh li kol." Because God has poured His grace over me, and I have everything..."
Genesis33vs11.

[FemiJACOBS @FemiJACOBS]

The living Word patrols the soul, expunging the garbage of mortal "wisdoms" and their anxious imaginations and deceptive sophistry. This is the ONLY WARFARE the believer is in - the Spirit wielding His sWord (the living Word as you speak it) governing your gates of perception (your inner life, cognition, freewill, imagination and emotions). "And the peace OF God which surpasses human comprehension shall stand guard over your hearts and minds in Christ Jesus." Philippians4vs7.

[FemiJACOBS @FemiJACOBS]

The living Word is on patrol. ⚔️
​It expunges human "wisdom" along with their anxious imaginations. Speak the Word, let the Spirit wield His sWord, and watch God's peace garrison your heart and mind (Phil 4:7).
​Hallelujah!

Galatians5vs1 is saying that this particular liberty in Christ that scares religious teachers into panic mode; this freedom that freaks most preachers out, that makes them run back into the covers of Mosaic elementary moral principles - the scripture is saying that that fleshly scary FREEDOM was INTENTIONAL. God intentionally set you free, it was not an accident. It's not a bug but an intentional feature. Please stay with me.

HE is saying that this same freedom the law hates so much was exactly the point God is making in Christ. So, instead of running back to the covering of the law to manage sin, rest rather in the power of the indwelling Holy Spirit.

Don't run back to the law, walk forwards in the Spirit instead. That's where the security you seek is guaranteed. The flesh will fail you like it failed even Moses himself.

That is the point God is making. Don't return to ceremonial, performative, external behavioral regulating, hypocritical religions. The relief of religious activism is fake and fickle. That's why unbelievable evil can hide in deeply conservative people. It's self righteousness.

Sin can't be managed, it must be surgically removed. That's what the cross is for. Believe that the Lamb of God ACTUALLY TOOK AWAY SINS OF THE WORLD.

When you believe this, you're handed the Proof. What proof? The indwelling Spirit. God can't cohabit with sin. Impossible. Therefore, if the Holy of Holiest now calls your body His home, you'd better see what HE is seeing.

Galatians 5:1 NIV
It is for freedom that Christ has set us free. Stand firm, then, and do not let yourselves be burdened again by a yoke of slavery.

When you've just met, you may tell each other that you love each other. But after a few years, you may come to a necessary other season when you'll realize that you really DO love each other. When you first hear the gospel, you'll know that God loves you. But there's a secondary experience in Ephesians3, where you'll truly know for certain that God really DOES love you. That's when all the heavens gloriously break loose in your heart and life.

[FemiJACOBS @FemiJACOBS]

When you are in the Ephesians3vs19 experience, as the Love becomes real to your consciousness, you'll catch the sense that what is new to your understanding has always been real to your experience. You'll realize that you were a living reality in God's Mind long before you even hit your mother's womb. "Before you became a fetus, I KNEW YOU." Jer1vs5. You were already a person to God's Mind. You came through the womb, you were not made there...No, fam. With due honor to the womb that caught you, but that's not your origin.

[FemiJACOBS @FemiJACOBS]

Here's what happens when Ephesians3vs19 is invading your understanding - the Love of Christ will suddenly start feeling personal and surreally familiar. In your spirit, you'll perceive Christ's personal presence in specific areas of your past (even in your childhood) that you have reflected on before but never actually seen the Lord there. You'll realise that HE has always been there, even when you didn't know nor depend upon Him. This is the miracle that transcends all others.

[FemiJACOBS @FemiJACOBS]

This experience can't be faked. Your deepest work of grace is revealed here where you will experience the healing grace of God's extraordinary love. This is a knowledge (belly-settled, clear and incontestibly experiential revelation) that passes mere mental acknowledgement. This changes everything.

[FemiJACOBS @FemiJACOBS]

Paul said he was separated from his mother's womb. Galatians1vs15. A struggle with clarity is actually a struggle with identity. Your edited sense of self is disconnected from your root self. You have told your mind unconsciously to block out most of your rooted experiences, but clarity is intuitive. It will be hard to occupy anything when you have an escapist mindset. It is why conscious people never curse their origins, they embrace it. But I digress. You were an entity before you became a baby.

[FemiJACOBS @FemiJACOBS]

Apart from His intellectual togetherness, part of having the mind of Christ would be experiencing His general unperturbed-ness, living with the ease of watching a relayed match work its way to an already known positive ending. The timeless, perfect peace of the finished work.

[FemiJACOBS @FemiJACOBS]

It is an eternal love. Let me tell you what I have proved. Get used to the eternal-ness of your inheritance in Christ. When you finally experience Christ Jesus, you'll discover what the writer of Hebrews13vs8 meant by "Jesus Christ, the same yesterday, today and forever." "Under the sun, there's nothing new," because the earth is experiencing in time what has already happened in timelessness. If you get this, it changes everything. Read the quotes.

[FemiJACOBS @FemiJACOBS]

You have to discern the difference between when someone is teaching and when they're grieving/healing. Don't swallow bile and call it knowledge.

[FemiJACOBS @FemiJACOBS]

You cannot enter the inheritance through greed and mere ambition. Greed is not how you react to this kind of love, wondrous surrender is. When a love is this detailed and intentional, you have to wonder what it is all about. What God did in Christ Jesus for the new creation, the lengths and depths HE went to for me could only mean that HE wishes to put all of Himself in me. That has already outstripped and outranked all of my best requests ever.

[FemiJACOBS @FemiJACOBS]

Christ is more than enough. And I don't mean in the sense that HE reduces the magnitude of your expectations. In fact, it is in the contrary sense - HE transforms your desires and then supersizes them.
Ephesians3vs20
Hyper-ek-perissou is saying "super-infinitely, immensely beyond measure. If you took everything you have ever prayed for aloud (ask), and added it to the most staggeringly grand concept your mind could ever possibly imagine (think), God's ability to act still infinitely overflows the boundaries of all their combined total."
Will you rest in Him?

[FemiJACOBS @FemiJACOBS]

All that God has and all that God IS starts unfurling from this one story. The story about Christ. If you can find the courage to make this story the centre purpose and thrust of your entire existence, your world will be subdued underneath your feet. When Christ becomes your core, you tap into infinite energy, dominant peace, unstoppable strength and triumphant power. It's not exactly inexplicable, the view is crystal clear from the inside. But will Man trust in and use the key? Biggest question for all consciousness-es. "Whosoever believeth..."

[ChristCafe @ChristcafeNG]

Glory.

[FemiJACOBS @FemiJACOBS]

Good news! Christ took your sin on Himself and calls you innocent, as it should be. Don't struggle with the burden of guilt when you could reach out for God's amnesty in Christ Jesus. Look at the cross afresh. Not with all you know about religions. Just look at the cross. And LIVE!

[FemiJACOBS @FemiJACOBS]

The glorified heavenly Man, Christ Jesus - the Life that strolled majestically out of death, hell and the grave; Whose Light was called out of the very heart of darkness, with the Love that triumphed over violent hate without losing Himself. HE has done great things!
Hallelujah!
Thank You, Lord Jesus!

[FemiJACOBS @FemiJACOBS]

See this post beloved whose simplicity sounds almost foolish? That's what Paul said he was not ashamed of. He was a man of high intellect (one of the best minds of his day), but he knew that all of the power of God breaks out of this simple good news about Christ - the gospel. As a monstrous ship is ruled by a simple rudder, so is this profound universe ruled by this simple story God asks ALL to believe. Rom1vs16.
