THE THRONE OF GRACE AND ITS BLESSINGS!



LET'S COME TO THE THRONE OF GRACE, OPENING  UP OUR HEARTS!


The throne of grace is open at all times. It awaits people like you and me to come towards it with a burning heart of issues to be cleansed, sanctified, and rectified by Him who is on the Throne. But we should come towards it with repenting, confessing, yielding heart, in a way that He can remove whatever that hurts us, abuses us, all our guilty feelings, our old man's natures, etc. and make us a new man once again of His nature.
       


Heb 4:15 For we do not have a high priest who is unable to sympathize with our weaknesses, but one who in every respect has been tempted as we are, yet without sin. Let us then with confidence draw near to the throne of grace, that we may receive mercy and find grace to help in time of need.

We lost this nature as Adam sinned and we are regaining it through Christ. So The Throne of God's GRACE IS OF IMMENSE IMPORTANT IN OUR LIVES that are PERTAINING TO ETERNAL LIFE.  We can always easily run towards it and fall upon its footstool with all our burdens and hurdles of life. All the burdens of our inner man, the burdens of life, burdens of sin, and all the hurdles of life will get a solace there.

HEB 10:15

15 And the Holy Spirit also bears witness to us; for after saying,
16 “This is the covenant that I will make with them
    after those days, declares the Lord:
I will put my laws on their hearts,
    and write them on their minds,”








17 then he adds,
“I will remember their sins and their lawless deeds no more.”
18 Where there is forgiveness of these, there is no longer any offering for sin.

The Full Assurance of Faith

19 Therefore, brothers,[c] since we have confidence to enter the holy places by the blood of Jesus, 20 by the new and living way that he opened for us through the curtain, that is, through his flesh, 21 and since we have a great priest over the house of God, 22 let us draw near with a true heart in full assurance of faith, with our hearts sprinkled clean from an evil conscience and our bodies washed with pure water. 23 Let us hold fast the confession of our hope without wavering, for he who promised is faithful.

Once, we give our hearts back to His grace again,  grace removes all wickedness from our hearts and makes it holy again, to make it a throne for the prince of Peace, and  Holy Spirit, the comforter will come again with His Peace and love that fills our inner being to have a sweet and long term contact with our Holy God. Let us come back to Him to Have a UNION with GOD, The Father, Son, and the Holy Spirit.


Jesus Promises the Holy Spirit


15 “If you love me, you will keep my commandments. 16 And I will ask the Father, and he will give you another Helper,[f] to be with you forever, 17 even the Spirit of truth, whom the world cannot receive, because it neither sees him nor knows him. You know him, for he dwells with you and will be[g] in you.
18 “I will not leave you as orphans; I will come to you. 19 Yet a little while and the world will see me no more, but you will see me. Because I live, you also will live. 20 In that day you will know that I am in my Father, and you in me, and I in you. 21 Whoever has my commandments and keeps them, he it is who loves me. And he who loves me will be loved by my Father, and I will love him and manifest myself to him.” 22 Judas (not Iscariot) said to him, “Lord, how is it that you will manifest yourself to us, and not to the world?” 23 Jesus answered him, “If anyone loves me, he will keep my word, and my Father will love him, and we will come to him and make our home with him.

HOLINESS TAKES YOU TO GOD

RUNNING AWAY FROM WORLDLINESS TO A HOLY GOD
IS THIS NOT THE WILL OF GOD REGARDING US?
                                       
Its unhappy to see people loving this world even now and going back its trends, when they truly know this world is full of wickedness and is awaiting a soon destruction. "The world and its lusts will pass away; but those who do the will of God stand forever."

When we listen to God's word, it truly cleanses us of all our wickedness and give us a new life it holds. That life is eternal. Those who live by this Word and do the will of God will stay forever,  even though the world he lives perishes and the circumstances around him changes.

His light will shine forever and he will reflect God's shining glory. He hath His path shining day by day, because Word is the light to His path. He will bear fruit in season and out of season,  because he has his life rooted up in the Word that stay No evil can harm him as He will be protected by the Word in which He stands.  He will overcome all evil by good. His sword is the Word of God and His armour is God's righteousness upon him. He will live forever.

His life is eternal and he has set His heart and life for God and with God forever. Let us give Glory to the Lamb of God who has chosen us to be blemish, without any blame, to present us as His holy ones in the day of His coming.

  He has chosen us before the foundation of this world for Himself. He has chosen us for Himself, only after that He made this world. That means we are forever of Himself, and is allowed a short period of journey through this world. During this journey He want us to be united to Himself in Spirit and truth, to fulfill His perfect will of being without blemish with Him in eternity. That is His purpose of chosing us.
Eph 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:
Even before he made the world, God loved us and chose us in Christ to be holy and without fault in his eyes."
( Ephesians 1:4, CSB: "For he chose us in him, before the foundation of the world, to be holy and blameless in love before him.")

So let us be renewed in that everlasting calling of us each day and live our lives holy in the Lord.

FOR THE WORTHLESS or FOR THE CROWN?



Well-Beloved in the Lord,

In these end times, we need to refocus our vision to the one who called us, in order not to perish as a Lot's wife in this world of destruction. You may be someone who is running behind this world, losing your time and your true focus away from God. Since you lost your focus, you cannot see the unseen, but all those things of this perishing vanity world have gained your focus, utilising your time, money, your health and your true love for Christ and His Cross. And you are one among the lost who run after the vanishing world, Whose end is destruction, whose God is their belly, and whose glory is in their shame, who mind earthly things. (Phil 3:19). He is calling you back to Himself before His coming.. May our desire and run be for Christ and His Kingdom.

Holy and Heavenly ones of the LORD,

LET US BE AWARE OF OUR CALLING,  IT WAS TO DENY OURSELVES, TAKE UP THE CROSS AND FOLLOW HIM. In the pathway of our lives somewhere we lost our true focus from CHRIST AND HIS KINGDOM and is living for ourselves and to the world, by being a part-time Christian or disciple in this fast-moving world of destruction. ARE WE NOT CALLED TO LIVE HIS LIFE AND SAVE SOULS??

ARE THESE LOSING SOULS VALUABLE FOR US OR OUR PENNY BAGS?

ARE WE RUNNING FOR THE WORTHLESS or FOR THE CROWN?

What are we running for?
IF WE HAVE OUR EYES FIXED ON HIM, WE WILL RUN TOWARDS HIM.
AND FOR HIS KINGDOM. ABRAHAM, ISAC, AND JACOB LOVED THE HEAVENLY AND RAN FOR IT, AND GOD WAS NOT ASHAMED TO BE CALLED THEIR GOD.  (Heb 11: 16)

We too are called by a Heavenly calling to live our lives to God while accomplishing the God-given task in a manner worthy of the saints. When we give our lives truly into His hands, He may dwell and rule.

We should realize the purpose of our God-given lives. It is TO KEEP US BLAMELESS AND HOLY UNTIL HE COMES, AS WE ARE HIS BRIDE. It is not to earn money, name, and fame on earth. But it is to keep us holy and blameless and to gather as many souls as you can for the glory of His Kingdom. For this very thing, we have to run away from every sin and snare that easily weighs us down from our run for God's Holiness and His Kingdom.

1Tim 6:9
"But they that will be rich fall into temptation and a snare, and into many foolish and hurtful lusts, which drown men in destruction and perdition"

You may find this message a calling of U-turn in your life. Yes, to be a true disciple of the Lord, one has to take a U-turn in his/her life. Because the author and finisher of faith is the one who calls you out, calls you to cast your net and boat away and come to Him. All you have to do is a true surrender unto Him.

If Peter and Paul could do it in their lives you are also called to do the same thing. Carry out His mission and vision on earth. Every disciple of the Lord has given their lives fully to the Lord and some like Paul had a part-time earning for themselves and for their fellow ones. Disciple of the Lord, that is your calling too. That is for what you are called to. Carry up His cross and follow Him, denying yourselves!

We must keep our eyes on Jesus, who leads us and makes our faith complete. He endured the shame of being nailed to a cross, because he knew later on he would be glad he did. Now he is seated at the right side of God's throne! Heb 12:2

You are to give the whole of your life to Him. Because you are His bride, His fortune. If you are His fortune, you need to keep yourself holy, your deeds and words are to be holy. If you are lacking holiness in any of these aspects, fall into His footstool, the throne of Grace, and stay there until you receive what you have lost.

Take new decisions of leaving your life unto His hands. He is the life-maker and not you yourselves! Tell Him what all you have lost, confess your weakness, ask truly for a new grace, and focus in your life.

 Repent of all the lack of love, joy, peace of mind, humility, gentleness, and the lack of an eternal vision as these earthly things and thoughts have blurred up the vision, and made it unable for yourselves to clearly focus on God and His holy Kingdom.












If these things really bother you repent and come back from where you have fallen!
Lord is our path-maker and the Lord of our lives, and not we ourselves. Let us submit truly unto Him, so that He may dwell and rule.

But the path to eternity is narrow and who will find it? Disciple of the Lord, you are not of yourselves, but of God, as Peter was of Jesus, Paul was of the Lord, Luke and Timothy all were of the Lord, so you are! Forget not the price of your calling!

Carry the cross of your calling and receive the 👑 CROWN OF GLORY!

He who has the ear, let Him hear! Yes we need to have the ear of the Lord , to hear what the Spirit say to churches.

Looking to Jesus the Author and Finisher of our Faith

                                    Live and let Christ live in you!

                   We are at a time when people love the world and religion is a part of this world. We are not to follow any religion , but follow the Man Jesus Christ. As we go to church regularly and offer prayers, we have a false satisfaction that we are following something, we are good and right in our eyes. But simply that's not what God want from our lives. Such a life we are leading may be satisfactory for our Pastor, our fellow believers etc,. But the true life that God requires from us is a life in which God Himself dwells and manifests. In which He lives and you live no more.

                   Once you received Jesus Christ into your lives wholeheartedly, He may come to dwell in you. If it is so you should give heed to the voice of God that comes from the inside. live after the voice of Jesus Christ your Savior , your Shepherd.Heb 3:1 Therefore, holy brothers, called to be partakers of the heavenly calling, consider the Apostle and High Priest of our profession, Christ Jesus, who was faithful to Him who appointed Him, as Moses also was faithful in all his house.
Heb 3:6 But Christ was faithful as a Son over his own house; whose house we are, if we hold fast the confidence and the rejoicing of the hope firm to the end.

Looking to Jesus the Author and Finisher of our faith, who for the joy that was set before Him endured the cross, despising the shame, and sat down at the right of the throne of God. For consider Him who endured such contradiction of sinners against Himself, lest you be weary and faint in your minds.You have not yet resisted unto blood, striving against sin.



Truly such a life will be hated by all those in the world, sometimes even our church members who are following a religion, the customs and routines of a religion. We are not to follow the world/ worldly religions. We are called to follow Jesus Christ, the true God.

NB; "When I say of the church, I denote the prominent, multinational churches of this world. Most of the leading churches and the majority of the believers are following the world, if we have the eye to notice. And those who follow Jesus Christ are few in number. As the Lord said, Many are called ; only a few are chosen. Will you find yourself in the chosen list. Then follow not your society, nor the religion , but the man Jesus Christ. Begin the day by filling yourself with the Word of God , the Words of Jesus Christ our Lord.

In these end times most of the churches we see are the Laodicean Church (Rev elation 3) whom Jesus is going to spew out of His mouth.
All the churches going after the worldly customs and the believers living after the world are going to be spewed out of Jesus' Mouth. So let us live after the Man Jesus Christ.

CITIZENSHIP in HEAVEN

                  
                       Php 3:20 For our citizenship is in heaven, from which we also eagerly wait for the Savior, the Lord Jesus Christ,

Hence, we desire to think of things above.

For here we have no continuing city, but we seek one to come.


Heb 11:16 But now they desire a better country, that is, a heavenly one. Therefore God is not ashamed of them, to be called their God, for he has prepared a city for them.


And we know that the end of everyone who set their minds on earthly things is destruction.

Php 3:18 For many walk, of whom I have told you often, and now tell you even weeping, that they are the enemies of the cross of Christ:
whose end is destruction, whose god is their belly, and whose glory is in their shame--who set their mind on earthly things.

Php 3:20 For our citizenship is in heaven, from which we also eagerly wait for the Savior, the Lord Jesus Christ,
