WE PARTAKE OF THE DIVINE NATURE IMPARTED THRU THE DIVINE POWER OF CHRIST’S HUMAN NATURE AS GOD IN THE FLESH

October 2, 2020

FROM YOUR PASTOR’S DESK:

WE PARTAKE OF THE DIVINE NATURE IMPARTED THRU THE DIVINE POWER OF CHRIST’S HUMAN NATURE AS GOD IN THE FLESH

“To those who have obtained like precious faith with us by the righteousness of our GOD AND SAVIOR JESUS CHRIST. Grace and peace be multiplied to you in the knowledge of God and Jesus our Lord, as His DIVINE POWER has given to us all things that PERTAIN to LIFE and GODLINESS, through the knowledge of Him who called us by glory and virtue, by which have been given to us EXCEEDINGLY GREAT AND PRECIOUS PROMISES, that through these you may be PARTAKERS OF THE DIVINE NATURE, having escaped the corruption that is in the world through lust [unholy, worldly, carnal desires and the lust of the eye and the flesh’].”

2 Pet. 1:1-4, NKJV.

The Incarnation: “Layon aside His royal robe and kingly crown, Christ clothes His divinity with humanity, that human beings might be RAISED from their degradation [caused by sin], and placed on vantage ground.

THE BATTLEFIELD WHERE CHRIST’S KINGDOM OF GRACE IS BEING SET UP AGAINST THE KINGDOMS OF THIS WORLD

September 11, 2020

FROM YOUR PASTOR’S DESK:

THE BATTLEFIELD WHERE CHRIST’S KINGDOM OF GRACE IS BEING SET UP AGAINST THE KINGDOMS OF THIS WORLD

“For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against SPIRITUAL wickedness in high places.”

Eph. 6:12, KJV.

“The FALLEN WORLD is the battlefield for the greatest conflict the heavenly universe and the earthly powers have ever witnessed. It was appointed as THEATER on which would be fought out the grand struggle [AKA ‘the great controversy’] between good and evil, between heaven and hell.

“Every human being acts a part in this conflict. No one can stand on neutral ground. Men must either accept or reject the world’s Redeemer. All are witnesses, EITHER for or against Christ. Christ calls upon those who stand under His banner to ENGAGE in the conflict with Him as FAITHFUL soldiers, that they may inherit the crown [that is called] eternal life.

GRACE IS FOR FALLEN MEN, NEVER FALLEN ANGELS

September 9, 2020

FROM YOUR PASTOR’S DESK:

GRACE IS FOR FALLEN MEN, NEVER FALLEN ANGELS 

“For the grace of God that bringeth salvation hath appeared unto all men.”

Titus 2:11, KJV.

“Wherefore, as by one man (Adam) sin entered into the world, and death by sin; and so death passed upon all men, for that all have sinned.” Rom. 5:!

  1. “Have sinned,” is not the same as “will.”

“By disobeying the commands of God, man [beginning with the first Adam], men fell under [the condemnation] of His Law. This called for the GRACE of God to appear in behalf of sinners. We should never have learned the meaning of this word, grace, had we not fallen!

IDOLATROUS INFATUATIONS: BELSHAZZAR’S FALL

May 22, 2020
FROM YOUR PASTOR’S DESK:

IDOLATROUS INFATUATIONS: BELSHAZZAR’S FALL

See Daniel 5:1-29. “Weighed in the balances and found wanting.” Verse 27

“No misfortune is so great as to become a worshipper of a false god. No man/woman is in such miserable darkness as he/she who has lost his way to heaven. It seems that an infatuation is upon him/her, for he has a false god. To turn this worship of a human, fallen, corrupt human beings in earth, to the only true object of worship seems a hopeless task. [thats how overpowering fatal obsession and infatuation is].

IT IS WRITTEN: YOU CAN OVERCOME IN CHRIST’S STRENGTH

March 9, 2020
FROM YOUR PASTOR’S DESK:

IT IS WRITTEN: YOU CAN OVERCOME IN CHRIST’S STRENGTH

“Therefore in all things He has to be made like His brethren that He might be a merciful High Priest. . . In that He Himself has suffered being tempted, He is able to aid(succor) those who are tempted.” Heb. 2:17,18.

  “Because fallen man could not overcome Satan with his human strength, Christ came from the royal courts of heaven to help man with His human and divine strength COMBINED. Christ knew that Adam IN EDEN with his superior advantages might have withstood the temptations of Satan and conquered him.

Thank God for Blending Divine Nature with Human Nature Forever!

     And without controversy great is the mystery of godliness: God was manifested in the flesh, justified in the Spirit, seen by angels [both evil and good], preached among the Gentiles [and the chosen people] believed on in the world, received up in glory [as a Victor over Satan, temptation, death, and the grave].”

1 Tim. 3: 16. 

This Thanksgiving 2019 we should thank and praise God “with all our heart, soul, strength and mind” (Luke 10: 27) for patiently, gradually and progressively unfolding to the astonished eyes of earnest truth-seekers the great mystery of godliness that is revealed in the Creator’s incarnation! Ever after that priceless, precious, precise moment in time that no finite mind exactly knows when and how, humanity quietly and effortlessly blended with divinity for eternity!

When Will Humanity Ever Learn to Fully Trust Divinity?

When Will Humanity Ever Learn to Fully Trust Divinity?

Why did God Creator have to come down to fallen man’s level in the incarnation?

It was to demonstrate by “manifesting to the world, men and angels” for all eternity the truth of God’s undying and unconditional love for sinners, which likewise reveals the secret of victory of fallen man over Satan and sin, which is: the complete surrender of man man’s will to God’s will, the lost sinner’s will to the Savior’s will.

The Second Adam: The World’s Sin and Guilt Bearer

The Second Adam: The World’s Sin and Guilt Bearer

Jesus Christ, the “second” or “last Adam” (1 Cor. 15: 45-47)  was subject to the first death of all mortals because He had to die, not merely “walk in the valley of the shadow of death,” which He also did, but temporarily came under it as the one-and-only, once-and-for-all atoning sacrifice (Heb. 9: 25-28; 10: 10, 12, 14) that the Father made of His only-begotten Son at the antitypical altar of sacrifice of Calvary.

The “wages of sin is death.” Rom. 6: 23. In His death the second Adam, in His human nature “made in the likeness of sinful flesh,” did not die because He fell under the power of “him who had the power of death,” that is the devil” (Heb. 2: 14), because of the following:
