Live in Jesus

Psalm 91:1–2 (RSV2CE): 

He who dwells in the shelter of the Most High, 

who abides in the shadow of the Almighty, 

2 will say to the Lord, “My refuge and my fortress; 

my God, in whom I trust.

Psalm 91:9–10 (RSV2CE): Because you have made the Lord your refuge,

the Most High your habitation, 

10 no evil shall befall you, 

no scourge come near your tent. 

Romans 8:28 (RSV2CE): We know that in everything God works for good with those who love him, who are called according to his purpose. 

The Shelter of the Most High is JESUS

Jesus is in the Shadow of the Almighty 

Get in Jesus He is the refuge and fortress. 

Trust God. 

Live in Jesus. 

Habitation: the state or process of living in a particular place in a permanent residence. 

All things that happen to you will be made for good. No evil will befall you-Anything you feel us evil will be made good for you. 

Salvation is Union with God

Salvation is about Union with God. 

A sinner cannot be in union with God. 

A sinner is someone who is offending a Holy God by thoughts, words, and deeds against His Holy Ways. 

In order to rectify this blasphemy a sinner needs cleansing to be in His Holy Presence. 

Salvation is not about being saved from sin or hell. 

It’s about being reunited with the Only True Soul Happiness - Union with God. 

Until you realize you are separated from true love and need to be with Him you cannot repent. 

Repentance is knowing you have blasphemed your only true love and wanting to get back to union with him. 

Repentance is not sorry for sin-all people can have that for various reasons. 

Union with God is the ONLY GOAL of life. 

Stages of Grace

God made our conscious as the first grace. (Free will is here-we can malform or agree). Maybe when we start to listen to conscious instead of suppress and deny it we come to the next grace which is offer of repentance (prevenient). If we receive repentance we can be given the next Grace which is being born again. (The Spirit is given to those who obey). (Justifying). Then the next stage of grace is a Daily surrender to Holy Spirit direction and power (Sanctifying). 

Many people obey conscience and are good people but are not Christians, even atheists. 

The Spirit is the one who saves we have no power to come to you. We can obey conscience but that is not salvation. Salvation is of the Spirit. 

We must call people to account in order to even be able to go through stages. Mercy before accountability can disorder conscious. But calling to account and awaiting response shows which way to go - justice or mercy. 

I pray the Spirit be my guide and that I am born again. I want you Jesus! And I want you to have me. Amen!

The history of our salvation is the story of a supreme abasement: 

the divine becomes human, 

the celestial becomes terrestrial, 

the eternal becomes temporal, 

the absolute becomes fragile, 

the wisdom of God becomes madness, 

and his strength becomes weakness—

because Life, the true Life, is humbled to death, death on a cross. 

To follow Jesus is to follow his abasement—to come, as he did, to the bottom of humanity, of our weakness, and there to become a servant, as the One who did not come to be served but to serve, and to give his life as a ransom for all.

The EUCHARIST PRAYER

THE EUCHARIST 

Be pleased, O Lord, to accept the offerings of your Church, for in your mercy you have given them to be offered and by your power you transform them into the mystery of our salvation. Through Christ our Lord.

You are indeed Holy, O Lord, the fount of all holiness. Make holy, therefore, these gifts, we pray, by sending down your Spirit upon them like the dewfall, so that they may become for us the Body and Blood of our Lord Jesus Christ.

Therefore, as we celebrate the memorial of his Death and Resurrection, we offer you, Lord, the Bread of life and the Chalice of salvation, giving thanks that you have held us worthy to be in your presence and minister to you. Humbly we pray that, partaking of the Body and Blood of Christ, we may be gathered into one by the Holy Spirit. Remember, Lord, your Church, spread throughout the world, and bring her to the fullness of charity. 

Lord Jesus Christ, Son of the living God, who, by the will of the Father and the work of the Holy Spirit, through your Death gave life to the world, free me by this, your most holy Body and Blood, from all my sins and from every evil; keep me always faithful to your commandments, and never let me be parted from you.

May this mingling of the Body and Blood of our Lord Jesus Christ bring eternal life to us who receive it.

May the receiving of your Body and Blood, Lord Jesus Christ, not bring me to judgment and condemnation, but through your loving mercy be for me protection in mind and body and a healing remedy.

What has passed our lips as food, O Lord, may we possess in purity of heart, that what has been given to us in time may be our healing for eternity.

May the communion in your Sacrament that we have consumed, save us, O Lord, and confirm us in the light of your truth. Through Christ our Lord.

Righteous and Justified

Trust God who Justifies the Ungodly. 

This trust is considered righteousness for me. 

In this trust, I am forgiven and my sins are covered and gone. 

Through this trust the promise rests on grace not works. 

Do not let yourself weaken or waver in trust of God fulfilling his promises. 

The promise is sure. God does not lie. 

Trust will grow strong as you give glory to God. 

Be fully convinced God is Certainly able to do all his promises. 

Trust is your Righteousness. 

Since we are justified and righteous we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ. 

Through Jesus Christ we have access to grace (our part-we must continually surrender to it and not resist it). 

We can stand rejoicing in hope of sharing the glory of God. 

Romans 4:5 (RSV2CE): 

trusts him who justifies the ungodly, 

his faith is reckoned as righteousness. 

Romans 4:7–8 (RSV2CE): 

Blessed are those whose iniquities are forgiven, 

and whose sins are covered; 

blessed is the man against whom the Lord 

will not reckon his sin.

Romans 4:16 (RSV2CE): 

it depends on faith, 

in order that the promise may rest on grace. 

Romans 4:19–22 (RSV2CE): 

He did not weaken in faith... 

No distrust made him waver concerning the promise of God, 

but he grew strong in his faith as he gave glory to God, 

fully convinced that God was able to do what he had promised. 

That is why his faith was “reckoned to him as righteousness.”

Romans 5:1–2 (RSV2CE): Therefore, since we are justified by faith, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ. 2 ¶ Through him we have obtained access to this grace in which we stand, and we rejoice in our hope of sharing the glory of God.
