Stop Trying to Love God, Stop it Right Now!!

God " so "(A sense of intensity) loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son, that who ever believes in Him shall not perish, but have "the Life Style of God" (Eternal Life).

God loves you first. The Law says that you must love the Lord your God with all your heart soul mind and strength. Trying to fulfill this Law only leads to failure and condemnation. God does not want you condemned! That is why His Son fulfilled the Law.

Have you been trying to love God? Stop it!!! Yes I said stop trying to love God. You independently have no power to love God. God first must love you!! And the Good news is, HE DOES!!!! And only when you receive His love, are you empowered to love Him by His love.

I will say it again! Stop trying to love God by your own power! The only way to love God is by seeing He first loved you. Then love naturally springs forth without self effort. Love flows like a river from your heart effortlessly.

The Bible says that Jesus is the Son of His Love. God said that Jesus is His beloved Son.

God gave us His only Son. His Son willingly paid the price to God's justice so that we can righteously go free from the wrath of God. Jesus took "ALL" the wrath of God that can now never be laid against us. He took all judgment! He took all penalty! God's justice sees us as "NOT GUILTY." His love for us is shown in this way; with His son He will freely give you all things.

God's Love has some "THINGS" for you! Notice I said "God's Love." I did not say seek "THINGS", seek His love and "THINGS" will come. You have to go to the right address to get the package. The right address to receive things from God is His love!

Boast not in your love for God: that shows self-condemnation. But rather boast in God's love for you; this shows forth His righteousness.

I tell you the truth, you want to see someone who is condemned in their heart, it is the person who boasts about their love for God. When a person boasts about their love for God. It is a sign that they have not heard the Gospel. All mature Christians know that it is grace alone that causes a persons love for God. And grace has nothing to do with self effort, or self achievement. It has to do with God's achievement and His alone in His Son.

Seek first the Kingdom of God and His righteousness and all things shall be added to you!

In HIM,

Apostle Maitland

Condemnation Blocks the Blessing

Mark 11:20-26 (Today's New International Version)

20 In the morning, as they went along, they saw the fig tree withered from the roots. 21 Peter remembered and said to Jesus, "Rabbi, look! The fig tree you cursed has withered!"

22 "Have faith in God," Jesus answered. 23 "Truly I tell you, if you say to this mountain, 'Go, throw yourself into the sea,' and do not doubt in your heart but believe that what you say will happen, it will be done for you. 24 Therefore I tell you, whatever you ask for in prayer, believe that you have received it, and it will be yours. 25-26 And when you stand praying, if you hold anything against anyone, forgive them, so that your Father in heaven may forgive you your sins."

The word "doubt" in verse 23 --means self-condemnation-- in the Greek. The key to the release of the power of God is saying what you believe without condemnation is your heart.

Condemnation is the blessing blocker. Grace is the free gift that our Father has given all men to receive. Grace is Jesus Christ, not a doctrine. He is the Blessing and the Blessed.

Jesus is enough!! With His Son He freely gives us all things. Condemnation is erased when you see that you are not able to do anything of your own self effort. And the harder you try the more condemned you get. This was the entire reason God sent His Son, because we can do nothing independent of God. But glory be to God, He did it for us in HIM!!!

In the ages from Adam until now, man has struggled to make his own way. Even making confusion out of The Cross by mixing self effort with grace. Did you know that the word "BABYLON" means --confusion in mixing. Is it any wonder why "Babylon The Great Has Fallen" she prostitutes herself between two covenants. Hmmmmm, I wonder who this is speaking about. This Babylon sounds familiar. I'll leave that one to you and the Holy Spirit.

Grace is the Blessing, and condemnation comes from sin consciousness not Christ consciousness. "How much more, then, will the blood of Christ, who through the eternal Spirit offered himself unblemished to God, cleanse our consciences from acts that lead to death, so that we may serve the living God! For this reason Christ is the mediator of a new covenant, that those who are called may receive the promised eternal inheritance—now that he has died as a ransom to set them free from the sins committed under the first covenant."(Hebrews 9:14-15)

So today receive this abundance of grace that you my reign as a king in life.(Romans 5:17) A king reigns by His confident decree. What he say is without any self-condemnation. Be the King that you where born from above to be!!!

In HIM,

Apostle Maitland

 

A Completed Work For All Who Will Receive

Beloved,

Jesus paid the price as The Second Adam, so that we could have Eternal “Life” (life the way God has life).

Please consider this fact in all your self seeking you labor for things that have already been completed. All God wants you to do is recognize the death of the sin nature (Adam’s nature), and your inheritance of the nature of “Life” (life the way God has life) in Christ Jesus. And to live a life style that demonstrates what He demonstrated in His walk on earth. This Lamb of God has been slain for (or as) the whole world, that they might be “saved” (brought into nothing missing and nothing broken and total absence of poverty and lack in any form).  So today please focus on this free gift and give it the appropriate honor, so that you may see its reward in your life and the lives of the whole world.

Isaiah 53:4-5 Verses 4 and 5 with Hebrew definitions:

Surely He has taken away our maladies, anxieties, calamities, diseases, and sicknesses. He has used His own strengths to perform the labor to bare our anguish, affliction, grief, pain, and sorrows. He was profaned, He was defiled, and done violence too for our sins, rebellion, apostasy, wickedness, premeditated breaking of God’s law, and rejection of God’s authority. He was cast down, oppressed, and afflicted to pay the penalty for our crimes, perversities, and depraved actions or iniquities, and the punishment, correction, and discipline for our wholeness nothing missing and nothing broken and total absence of lack of any kind was upon Him, and with His stripes He became the Physician that mended, cured, healed, and thoroughly made us all whole.

In HIM,

Apostle Maitland

 

Your Goodness Is Not God's Focus

It is not your goodness that God is looking for! It is not your faithfulness that God expects from you! It is that you rely on His faithfulness and goodness!

Father, judge us today according to your righteousness in Christ! Amen!

Just throw your dead works out the window, they do not please God and they never will. He is pleased only by His own works in His Son Jesus Christ. If you have Him, you are pleasing to God.

Dont stress today try to get the blessings of God. Rather, follow the peace of the goodnews that you have received, and know that the gospel  of peace is the Blessing of God. Jesus said, "Peace (My Wholeness) I bequeath to you, my own peace, the Peace that I live by." You Have His peace; now that you know that He is the only provision that God receives. Live in it!!

God Himself paid the price for your Peace (wholeness) stop paying on a debt that is not only paid but is over paid with the blood of Jesus.

Just rest in the truth that your Father has provided wholeness today Just keep the Peace in your heart by having faith in His work.

THE PEACE OF JERUSALEM, THE PEACE OF ZION, IS THE PEACE OF JESUS CHRIST. Amen!!

God's Debt Consolidation and Cancellation Program (You Can Sign Up Today!)

I want to tell you plainly. You can not continue to pay for a debt that has already been paid off. If you do continue to pay for what has been already paid then it is to your own condemnation.

Stop punishing yourself. Jesus has already been punished for your failure to be perfect before God. Just believe in His work for you, and let you conscience be satisfied. God NOW considers us perfect because Jesus is our payment. All we need to do is accept this fact, and act like is truth. That is called faith in Jesus Christ. It is so simple!

God's Justice demanded our payment for not obeying Him, but God's Love (Jesus Christ) paid our Justice debt completely. Jesus paid so that we can wholesome fellowship with God without any feeling of obligation to debt or remorse. Jesus made God your Father, not your bill collector! God accepted Jesus payment on your behalf. He is very excited that the debt is cleared so now all He has for you is the benefit of His Love. The benefit of His love is THE BLESSING.

The Blessing of God comes without a sense of remorse it comes with a sense of entitlement. We are entitled to the benefit of our debt being paid off. The heavy price of Jesus' payment satisfies all debt!!

When Jesus paid our debt we received The Blessing. What is The Blessing it is a life of wholeness spirit, soul, and body. It is life of wholeness in the invisible realm of spirit and the visible realm your everyday life.  It is empowerment to prosper in every area of life.

Here is what we have in The Blessing of Jesus Christ.

Because of Jesus' Payment. ......

What's God's desire for my life? Why am I here? What is my purpose?

God’s original purpose for our lives was to extend His ruler-ship to earth through mankind; His will is that our physical world here on earth would reflect His spiritual "Glory" (the full weight, or the fullest manifestation of a thing) in the heavenly realm. It has always been God’s plan to have the Kingdom of Heaven on earth; this was and is His immutable (unchanging) intent.  Jesus came to continue that intent that our Father had from the beginning; In fact it was the only purpose for Him to come.  And he himself was called the Word that was from the beginning. He was the embodiment of the original intent of God our Father. (John 1:1-17)(I John 1:1-7)(I John 2:24)

Jesus preached the gospel of the Kingdom of heaven, but His message had nothing to do with going to heaven. The truth is He preached the opposite. Jesus preached that heaven was coming to earth and was in fact all ready here on earth; He came to restore it to mankind. Jesus told us that this is why He had come, to bring us the understanding of the Kingdom of Heaven on earth, so we could overcome the world. Not be rescued from it. He emphasized this message when He taught His disciples to pray” This is how you should pray: “Our Father in heaven, hallowed by the name, Your Kingdom come, Your will be done on earth as it is in heaven.”(Matthew 6:9-10)

Notice in this message that He didn’t tell His disciples to pray that they would go to heaven; He told them to pray that the Kingdom of God would come from heaven to earth. He was clear that our focus was not to get to heaven, but to have heaven’s power in our daily lives here on earth.  That is what is so cool about His message. We have the Kingdom now. We don’t have to wait until we go to heaven to have health, wealth, and liberty from this worlds system. It is inside of us right now!! (John 16:33)(I John 4:4)(I John 5:4-5)

It is very clear by the over 100 direct references to the Kingdom in the four gospels that this was Jesus’ sole purpose in coming, and it was the message that He left for us to preach!

No Condemnation! None! Jesus Cried" It is Finished"

God is a just God. He rules by absolute righteousness. Any requirement that He set for us must be completely fulfilled or this very same justice demands full payment for the lack of its fulfillment. The good news is that though He requires the debt to His justice to be paid, He does not expect you to pay it!! In fact He never intended you to pay for it when He made His just demands of obedience in the first place. In fact before He demanded mankind obey Him as their Father He had already provided Himself as the person who would pay for our injustice to His demand for obedience. His Love for us is righteous, so He paid His righteous justice with His righteous Love for us; and set us FOREVER free from the condemnation of His Justice. BY HIS LOVE FOR US HE TOOK OUR CONDEMNATION ON HIS BODY!! All He wants from us is that we see how much He Loves us. He wants us to know that we are Loved, THAT’S IT!!!!

Jesus is God. Jesus’ death frees us from all condemnation! His blood was shed so that you could have protection from condemnation of sin! It is vitally important that all people understand this fact, because it gives us confidence that God is not holding your faults and mistakes against us. It allows us to understand that God is our Father who loves us and we are dear in His sight. HE IS NOT MAD AT YOU AT ALL. HE ONLY LOVES YOU.

God looks at you and calls you righteous because all you faults and mistakes were punished already on the Body of Jesus Christ. Jesus took ALL OF GOD’S JUDGEMENT AGAINST MANKIND; ALL OF IT, PAST, PRESENT AND FUTURE! IT IS INDEED FINISHED.
