Ministry

Jhn 6:29

Jesus answered and said unto them, This is the work of God, that ye believe on him whom he hath sent.

This reference is to Jesus,


McNeil Jonathan

The love of Jesus is evident in the believer that can not wait for his return to resurrect the dead and catch away the living ( In That Order) and the distance away from Godliness is measured in the the number of religions and churches and people who can't get along with each other and thus do not care for the sinner or saint... we do not belong to God if we can not love his creation as he does.

Jhn 8:42

Jesus said unto them, If God were your Father, ye would love me: for I proceeded forth and came from God; neither came I of myself, but he sent me.

Jhn 7:16

Jesus answered them, and said, My doctrine is not mine, but his that sent me.

Jhn 20:21

Then said Jesus to them again, Peace [be] unto you: as [my] Father hath sent me, even so send I you.

we must recognize there are only two (2) categories: believers and unbelievers... by different names : sinners and saints; saved & unsaved; Lost and called of God or Found ( if you will); going to heaven and going to hell; Kingdom of God and Kingdom of Satan; the Christianized Jew and the Atheist.

Even the dead are separated in the place of the dead : Sheol; the grave; the bosom of Abraham or the chains and flames of fear as they await certain destruction in the darkness of sleep or torment. (death is a different subject and post forthcoming).

Forgiven is the closest to perfection we can get

Mat 18:35	So likewise shall my heavenly Father do also unto you, if ye from your hearts forgive not every one his brother their trespasses.

Forgiveness and reconciliation is a purging and painful reality of taking responsibility and being willing to accept the consequence of words thoughts deeds and emotions.
being forgiven does not happen till one is caught in a lie or their past is discovered to be less than perfect or till there is a confession.

The release and relief that come from forgiving is empowering to anyone willing or wanting to not remain...the victim.

And, though it is politically incorrect to even care about the victimizer... God loves them too.

(God Hates Sin but He loved Sinners so much he gave his life for them)

They need Jesus. And forgiveness and restoration to the status of child of God. They are or were someones son, daughter, nephew, uncle, sister or mother or father.

Eze 33:11

Say unto them, [As] I live, saith the Lord GOD, I have no pleasure in the death of the wicked; but that the wicked turn from his way and live: turn ye, turn ye from your evil ways; for why will ye die, O house of Israel?

Jhn 3:16

For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life.

As Fathers day approaches I am so aware of the riffs between children and their fathers.

If I... as a Father, have done one thing right, it is... teaching my children how to forgive those who have hurt them. Really... you learn forgiveness from children; if you want to be good at it.

Parents learn to forgive children for breaking their rules, their sunglasses, writing on the walls, bringing home strays, stealing their sisters clothes and...well, you get the point. Not calling on fathers day, Not calling their grand parents enough, not doing their college paperwork... sorry, I digress.
back to forgiveness.

We also learn by watching: how children can just shake hands; or hug and make up. Then..., go back to playing like nothing ever happened. Like nothing ever happened. As if they never sinned.

We are skilled at forgiving ourselves as if we never sin. Otherwise, we would not judge others so harshly. " We":..." forgive us our trespasses 'cause we are not as bad as those who trespass against us...." LOL... HUH??!

NOT.

My four Biological daughters love each other... and many times through growing up they have hurt each other... but, they always come back to loving each other.

They are sisters: You think that is enough? No. I know sisters who do not speak and refuse to love and forgive.

They go to church: Do you think that is enough? No. I know church goers who have not spoken, will not speak, and leave their church to avoid forgiving; or even communicating via eye contact. (Yet they say they love God whom they have not seen.)
No forgiveness there.

My Daughters are God's daughters and it is their RELATIONSHIP WITH THE HEAVENLY FATHER that has taught them how to Forgive. I taught them to love God more than anything. Or anyone ...even me and their mother (who now rests in peace. She awaiting the return of Jesus: to awaken her to her great rewards; she earned in this life; through the lives she touched and the abusers she forgave.

Cancer was a brutal enemy she finally tired of fighting; and God allowed her to fall into his rest; and she now await his return to pay her according as she did in this life . She blessed me to be stronger than my words can portray here and our daughters will do great things with the gift of forgiveness. It is the love of God that allows us to truly forgive...
because forgiveness is powerful and painful... its rewards are Eternal.

Everyone who desires heaven needs forgiveness but to qualify as a child of God the evidence is... giving forgiveness to others.
And...: To the degree you forgive that is the degree to which you are FORGIVEN.

Mar 11:26

But if ye do not forgive, neither will your Father which is in heaven forgive your trespasses.

Saved/FORGIVEN: everyone wants salvation but they do not want to obey God. Love and obedience go together.




If we do not forgive..., God delivers us to tormentors.

Mat 18:34

And his lord was wroth, and delivered him to the tormentors, till he should pay all that was due unto him.

UnForgiveness opens the door to the tormentors of life.

Mat 18:3

And said, Verily I say unto you, Except ye be converted, and become as little children, ye shall not enter into the kingdom of heaven.

When we are truly converted in Christ there is the childlike quality of being able to forgive and seemingly forget .

I say seemingly forget because it is more accurately said we must "CHOOSE NOT TO KNOW"

Mic 7:18

Who [is] a God like unto thee, that pardoneth iniquity, and passeth by the transgression of the remnant of his heritage? he retaineth not his anger for ever, because he delighteth [in] mercy.

Mic 7:19

He will turn again, he will have compassion upon us; he will subdue our iniquities; and thou wilt cast all their sins into the depths of the sea.

Mat 5:9

Blessed [are] the peacemakers: for they shall be called the children of God.

Mat 18:35

So likewise shall my heavenly Father do also unto you, if ye from your hearts forgive not every one his brother their trespasses.

Mat 5:9

Blessed [are] the peacemakers: for they shall be called the children of God.

MAKE PEACE WITH YOUR FATHERS OR GOD IS NOT YOUR FATHER .

BE LIKE YOUR FATHER.

SHAME THE DEVIL.
FORGIVE LIKE GOD. CHOOSE NOT TO KNOW. FOR ONE DAY 24 HOURS MAKE THIS FATHERS DAY POWERFUL. FORGIVE AND BE DELIVERED FROM YOUR TORMENTORS.

WRITE THE DATE DOWN AND REMEMBER WHEN YOU WERE DELIVERED BY FORGIVING. RECEIVE YE THE HOLY GHOST.

FORGIVE AND RECEIVE GODS' HEART AND BE HIS CHILD.

Mat 5:9

Blessed [are] the peacemakers: for they shall be called the children of God.

Mat 5:9

Blessed [are] the peacemakers: for they shall be called the children of God.

MAKE YOUR FATHER THE PERFECT FATHER...GOD.


FORGIVE YOUR EARTHLY FATHER:

YOU WILL PERFECT HIM GLEANING ALL THE GOOD IN HIM UNTO YOURSELF. HE WAS ONCE A CHILD OF GOD HIMSELF AND CAN CHOOSE GOD ANYTIME AND CHANGE. BELIEVE IT. I DID.

Mat 5:9

Blessed [are] the peacemakers: for they shall be called the children of God.

Mat 5:9

Blessed [are] the peacemakers: for they shall be called the children of God.

I now have many children for I have in-laws and step and half and in Christ brethren and the bible tells me to treat every man in roles of family so the only strangers in my life are potential children of God the choice is yours theirs mine and ours to do or not do God's will:

Forgive/Love.

Grace Vs The Law.

Grace is not Lawlessness.
Grace is the reconciliation and protection necessary to bring a sin sick soul destined to die...back to life everlasting; and purity. Grace is what was and is Necessary to bring Gods creation Back to the Perfect and pure existence God intended at creation.

Grace is God's love fleshed out in the man Jesus...God's Christ.

The Tree of Knowledge of good and evil: was the test of man's love for his creator.every moment that went by with out them touching it or eating of it's fruit was a moment in love with the creator. every moment they were in love with God they were not killing or stealing or coveting or fornicating or dishonoring the creator who made them ( their parents) the father and son they were one in the spirit of God. They were Living Souls... free... with free will. They had no neighbor to bare a false witness against so they did not bare false witness against them selves (even after they sined). Every moment that went by without them touching the tree or eating it's fruit. they were choosing God over any Idol they could have created; They were God's creation and his name was on them and they did not take that name in vain. Finally , every 7 days God would come and celebrate his creation with his son and daughter adam and eve.

All Ten Commandments rolled into loving God in every moment of thoughts pure and free of disobeying God. Adam and Eve were not Tempted by evil the thought was not in their minds to eat of the tree or touch it...until.
Lucifer. Lucifer the Law breaker, murderer

Jhn 8:44

Ye are of [your] father the devil, and the lusts of your father ye will do. He was a murderer from the beginning, and abode not in the truth, because there is no truth in him. When he speaketh a lie, he speaketh of his own: for he is a liar, and the father of it

I was always taught that Lucifer's sin was pride and it was but it was also sin worthy of the same punishment as murder. Jesus put it out there clear to me:

Mat 5:21

¶

Ye have heard that it was said by them of old time, Thou shalt not kill; and whosoever shall kill shall be in danger of the judgment:

Mat 5:22

But I say unto you, That whosoever is angry with his brother without a cause shall be in danger of the judgment: and whosoever shall say to his brother, Raca, shall be in danger of the council:but whosoever shall say, Thou fool, shall be in danger of hell fire.

Jesus is not doing away with the law he is showing us that law breaking begins with our thoughts as man is just now learning. Nothing "Just Happens"...we think about sins sometimes over and over before we do them. Eve was deceived in her thinking before she sinned.

Gen 3:6

And when the woman saw that the tree [was] good for food, and that it [was] pleasant to the eyes, and a tree to be desired to make [one] wise, she took of the fruit thereof, and did eat, and gave also unto her husband with her; and he did eat.

Obviously eve had seen the tree before but this time she Saw it different. In her mind she was now deceived.
While in this state (deceived) she made a bad decision: to disobey god's one commandment: don't eat of the tree.
Grace was inherent in the relationship of God with his creation but understanding that the law was about man: showing his love for God; and not God trying to hide something or just rule over man. The Law was righteous and holy.

Rom 7:12

Wherefore the law [is] holy, and the commandment holy, and just, and good.

The consequences of sin were however unacceptable to God and so Justice kissed mercy and produced Grace.

Grace : the unmerited favor of God available through the second adam:

1Cr 15:45

And so it is written, The first man Adam was made a living soul; the last Adam [was made] a quickening spirit.

2Cr 5:17

Therefore if any man [be] in Christ, [he is] a new creature: old things are passed away; behold, all things are become new.

Grace gives us the ability to live in this world like Christ and to Occupy till he comes.
It returns us to a clean state through Obedience:

Rom 10:9

That if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in thine heart that God hath raised him from the dead, thou shalt be saved.

Mar 16:16

He that believeth and is baptized shall be saved; but he that believeth not shall be damned.

Jhn 3:5

Jesus answered, Verily, verily, I say unto thee, Except a man be born of water and [of] the Spirit, he cannot enter into the kingdom of God.

Jhn 4:2

(Though Jesus himself baptized not, but his disciples,)

Grace still requires obedience: obedience to what? God's Word; his law. Not written on stone but on the inward parts our hearts with our hearts we obey him.

Isa 51:7

¶

Hearken unto me, ye that know righteousness, the people in whose heart [is] my law; fear ye not the reproach of men, neither be ye afraid of their revilings

Who Cares if you worship on Sunday!?

You can and should worship God everyday.
But if you lie and say Saturday is not the sabbath of God you are ignorant or Evil.

Gen 2:3

And God blessed the seventh day, and sanctified it: because that in it he had rested from all his work which God created and made.

It is a holy day because God blessed it at creation .

all the days are amazing if you love God:

Rom 14:5

One man esteemeth one day above another: another esteemeth every day [alike]. Let every man be fully persuaded in his own mind.

Rev 22:11

He that is unjust, let him be unjust still: and he which is filthy, let him be filthy still: and he that is righteous, let him be righteous still: and he that is holy, let him be holy still.

I give God every day but I am careful to give him his day just because I love him

Jhn 14:15

If ye love me, keep my commandments.

Jhn 14:15

If ye love me, keep my commandments.

Jhn 14:15

If ye love me, keep my commandments.

ALL OF THEM

One on one You and God

Not only don't some so called Christians not want to live Holy but they don't want anyone else to live Holy either
Jesus is the teacher and example.
Everyone including me is a failure.
If you want to succeed you have to follow the only one who succeeded and what he taught.

walk in the grace and liberty he taught and you will be free and able to keep God's 10 commandments all the other old testament laws you can work out with fear and trembling but the 10 are not negotiable.

Phl 2:12

Wherefore, my beloved, as ye have always obeyed, not as in my presence only, but now much more in my absence, work out your own salvation with fear and trembling.

you will meet God face to face.
not with the congregation of your church.
alone.
what will be your excuse for not listening to him; not obeying him ; not trusting him...?

God's love is not in question. ours is.
we say we love god but we choose all kinds of sin over obeying him.

prison is full of men and women who say they believe in God and think they are serving him.
some are telling the truth but more are telling a lie.

Outside the prison the churches have grown to Mega churches yet we are building more prisons....
we have Mega churches and more unwed-mothers'

1Ti 4:6

If thou put the brethren in remembrance of these things, thou shalt be a good minister of Jesus Christ, nourished up in the words of faith and of good doctrine, whereunto thou hast attained.
