Spirit through the Word and the Believer!
The supreme wonder of
the gospel is its present realization of life - life of such unfathomable and
enduring quality that it cannot fade for all eternity. World religions may
claim to have the answers to the present misery of the individual, but what
does it profit a man to achieve harmony with nature yet lose his soul? Jesus
offers eternal life now. He said, "I am the resurrection and the life. He
who believes in me will live, even though he dies; and whoever lives and
believes in me will never die" (John 11:25, 26). God bless you. REINHARD

The Gospel imparts a hope that is beyond sin, judgment and
fear of exposure or death! You
will never exhaust the vast ocean of God's love. You will be forever discovering
greater lengths, widths, depths, and heights of His love.
Very important verse (so often translated and understood
wrong!) 2 Cor 10:4 and 5 Paul says in the Greek, that we arrest every thought
at spear point.
This is important to notice, it is the power in the sharpness
of the spear that arrests the thought. In the previous verse Paul says,
"We have weapons that demolish strongholds!"
A stronghold is typically a
mindset, a thought pattern; now if a single thought can activate and engage a
complete thought pattern, (almost like opening a complete document on your
computer with a single click!) then if that thought can be arrested, the
thought pattern is de-activated!
Here is the good news: Paul did not say like most translations do, "we must make thoughts obedient to Christ!”
The Greek says we arrest every thought at spear point by the obedience OF Christ!!!! Our own obedience couldn’t save us under Moses neither can it save us under Christ.
Its the revelation of the obedience of Christ that gives authority to the weapon that we employ to put every thought contrary to us, under arrest!
(Rom 5:19, The Mirror) The disobedience of the one man exhibits humanity as sinners; the obedience of another man (Jesus) exhibits humanity as righteous. The presence of the law made no difference, instead it merely highlighted the offence; but where sin increased, grace superseded it.

I am
hyper-grace and you might as well throw in hyper-love for good measure! And it is not a theological position; it is a lifestyle of
Grace through faith in every moment and every experience of my life! "His
power (great grace) is made evident in my weakness!" Hyper
grace, huh?
From Dictionary.com
hyper: word-forming element meaning "over, above, beyond, exceedingly, to excess," from Greek hyper (prep. and adv.) "over, beyond, overmuch, above measure," from PIE super- "over" (see super-). From the Bible -

If we can invent technology that
can be an effective anti-virus shield to work even while we sleep, then let’s
not underestimate the powerful and effective weapon God has given us in our
ability to understand the full implication and benefit we have in the obedience
of Christ!!!
2 Corinthians 10:3 The fact that we are living in a physical
world in human bodies of flesh does not mean that we engage ourselves in a
combat dictated to by the typical “tit-for-tat” strategies of the politics of
the day.
10:4 the dynamic of our strategy is revealed in God’s ability
to disengage mindsets and perceptions that have held people captive in pseudo
fortresses for centuries!
10:5 every lofty idea and argument
positioned against the knowledge of God is cast down and exposed to be a mere
invention of our own imagination. We arrest every thought that could possibly
trigger an opposing threat to our redeemed identity and innocence at spear
point! The caliber of our weapon is empowered by the revelation of the global
consequence of the obedience of Christ.
10:6 our ears are fine tuned to
echo the voice of likeness that resonates within us. We are acquainted with the
articulate detail of the authentic voice of our origin.
Love
brought me back from the future to live as Jesus, fully human and fully divine
by embracing all that today can be in Him!
He has brought me back from the past, trading the shame and failures to live today in the fullness of Mercy and Grace!
He has brought me to another today to live with hope while embracing a love that liberates me to be extra-ordinarily ordinary!
I will enjoy the peace to be at peace with His great love and divine design! I will enjoy Him in me and I in Him each moment of potential called now! Ron Ross
