Deservedness and Worthiness

Hello and blessings to you. I am going to share something that has changed my life and the way I look at life. It happened while listening to a CD that asked a simple question that forced me to seek GOD and get an answer only HE can give. An answer that transforms and not only informs. With that said, you too must seek GOD and have HIM answer your questions and quell your fears. We must run from acquiring head knowledge and run to HIM who changes the Heart, for out of the Heart flow the issues of life! HE is the Giver of Life, seek HIM and you too will be blessed and a blessing.
This CD was about the Power of the Spoken Word by Louise Hay. A very interesting women who to my knowledge is not a "Christian" but in this CD she challenged me and it lead me to seek GOD. At the end of the CD she asked to picture the future that you want how does it feel and then she asked do you DESERVE it. Immediately, there was a grabbing in my gut, a tightness and a denial of deserving anything. This came from my past and past teachings that taught me I deserved Hell and really not deserving anything good. I have I guess always had issues of deservedness (I think I made a word up here) and this has been a stumbling block to me to receiving or retaining anything good in my life.
I went to the LORD in me. I got quiet and asked The Father about this whole situation. As usual, HE gave me a full download that has freed me from this whole issue of deservedness. I will now give you the basic thoughts and concepts HE relayed to me that set me free. Again, I caveat this that this must be a heart lesson and not a head. It must resonate from your Spirit and not your mind. With that said, GOD said, even if you feel undeserving what does Christ in you deserve. BOOM, that was it. It was Rhema, Christ Jesus in me deserves the BEST! Can you say that! Christ in me deserves the best. That Word set me free. It by passed the whole worthiness and deservedness issue and brought it to the core issue, What does GOD deserve! HE deserves the Best. That set me free. Then scriptures came to me, Jesus' prayer that we are ONE with the Father even as HE is, HE has blessed us with all Spiritual Blessings in Heavenly places, Christ in you the hope of Glory, the life I now live I live in CHRIST, I am dead never the less I live but not me but CHRIST in Me!
Christ in me deserves the Best and Christ wants the Best for me! I pray that helps you, I pray that sets you free! Christ in you sets you free from all things, the chains of the world the flesh and the devil are fully shattered and broken by the power of HIM who defeated death and hell to give us life. The LORD lead me to Romans 8 the other night and the verse in Romans 8:2, The Law of the Spirit of LIFE in Christ Jesus has set me Free from the Law of Sin and Death. YES!!! The wretchedness of sin and death with all its guilt and condemnation is no longer held to me. I am FREE from all that, I literally am now sitting in Heaven with GOD in CHRIST. I am already where I want to be and I could only be there if I belonged there. I belong because I am CHRIST's and CHRIST is mine we are ONE.... please meditate on this and go to your heart, be still and know that I AM GOD. HE shall set you free.
Second lesson GOD gave me was about worth. Again, worthiness, deservedness and like issues are about how we see ourselves. I have been seeking GOD about a healing to my shoulder, an injury that occurred almost a year ago. I heard GOD clearly tell me to know my identity, know who I am. Who am I since this new birth since being born again. Well, I did not pursue this, I thought about it but I did not seek it out. GOD in HIS grace would not let it rest. HE went strait to the issue and said, What is something worth? I thought well what someone would pay for it. So then what did I pay for you? BOOM, that did it for me. A flood of imagery and concepts over took me. I was bought, YOU were bought with a price that cannot be comprehended. We were bought with the life Blood of Jesus Christ, the Blood of Christ, the Life of Christ was our redemptive price. We are Priceless to GOD, forget the world, what does GOD say about you, what does GOD feel about you, what did GOD do to have you? HE gave HIS all to have us. We are PRICELESS and precious beyond imagination. I pray that sets you free. I share these personal revelations because of the blessings they brought me and that you and I are ONE, and we are ONE with GOD. So I know somewhere this message and its TRUTH are important to you or someone you know. GOD bless you and Grow in the grace and knowledge of LORD JESUS CHRIST. Let me know your thoughts. JB

The LOVE of CHRIST

Children of GOD I want to bring you words of encouragement,transformation and love in this blog and I pray this one does that. Since being Born Again some 23+ years ago the words of Jesus Christ on the Cross to His Father have always changed me and brought me to a higher level of LIFE. When Jesus said "Father Forgive them for they know not what they do" the love the faith the hope and the Extra-dimensionality of those words stop me dead in my tracks and transform me. Jesus the perfect, the sinless, the guiltless and all powerful prayed for forgiveness to be given to His false accusers, to His executioners, to His betrayers, and to all humanity who allowed this to happen and for whom it was happening for. He who could have called down 72,000 Angels to protect Him and revenge Him chose to LOVE, He WILLED to Love and it changed the world. You and I right now would not be here had Jesus chose NOT to Love.
Again while walking my dogs, The Father touched my heart that I need to love like that and He has empowered me and you to be able to do so. HE has placed in our Hearts the ONE who can forgive like that. Jesus Christ in you still WILLS to Love like that but now through You! When I think of my natural reaction to even trivial things I see the gap between my flesh and the True GOD. This brought to mind what Paul said and the transformation available to all of us, he said " I die daily." Dying to SELF, what a concept! Not denying yourself a cookie or fasting or acting nice. No this has nothing to do with the works of the Flesh or denying the flesh that is FUTILE. This is about WILLING to be like GOD. WILLING to deny your revenge and rights and Forgive and let the Power and Love of GOD in you transform the world and people around you.
I will give you a small and seemingly insignificant incident that happened today. While walking my dogs this morning I headed up a hill and saw the house of a person who I felt had snubbed me by disregarding my Hello's and Good Mornings. Well, GOD was dealing with me about forgiveness so I said "Father I forgive them I forgive them all and give them all to you I choose to Love." That's all and on the way down the hill there was the neighbor and actually looking for me. I said "Good Morning" and we had a simple but deep discussion and connection that lead to an instant friendship. This may seem small but to me its Miraculous its the Abundant Life it is what we are here for, to bring the KINGDOM to earth to people.
The SELF even though dead (we are crucified with Christ we died and HE now lives in us) it is always there residing in the corpse we carry around but it is dead and has no authority. We have to WILL to choose to Love and to be like Christ and to allow HIM to reign and love over and through us. Doing this is not only GOD's will but healing, transformational and miraculous for us and the people around us. The LOVE of Christ is so unbelievably powerful NOTHING is IMPOSSIBLE. He who can forgive the unforgivable LIVES in you, He loves you and has forgiven you..He who has been forgiven much LOVES much...you have been forgiven far more than you can ever imagine let us now Choose to Love beyond imagine..let us be Fools for Christ to love beyond imagine and let go and let GOD..
Father forgive them for they know not what they do!...That is the power of Christ in you. It certainly looked like they knew what they were doing. Heck they conspired to do what they were doing! They planned they plotted and forced the situation to manifest and yet Jesus sees them differently. He sees from the beginning to the end He knows all the root causes and consequences of every thought and action. This is why His judgements are just and true and HE chooses to love! How much more we who do not know these things and more importantly we have been commanded to LOVE by the Lover of our Souls.
The more we know and trust GOD the more we can love or let love love through us..GOD is Love, Jesus is GOD. Let Him Love you and Love through you. Choose to love, choose to be loved, choose to seek HIM and know HIM, choose to change and be transformed so you can be a source of change and transformation in and to this world. It starts with the will do this, the very will Jesus laid down at the feet of His Father in the Garden of Gethsemane, we must lay down our will and take up His Glorious Incorruptible and Transcendent will. This can only happen as we commune and walk continuously with Him in Spirit and Truth. Blessings to you and power and love. You have the mind of Christ and you can do ALL things through HIM who strengthens you. PTL.....JB
