He That Overcometh (continued)

Beloved, in continuance of our theme, “He that Overcometh” – today we, in this modern church era, are encountering the same spirit everywhere. Many are professing to have that which they have not, yet they endeavor to keep themselves pure and spotless before God. Beloved, you cannot be pure before God until you are real enough to seek his help for any infirmities or weaknesses you experience in your spirit, mind, body, and soul! “He that is able to overcome” this spirit of hypocrisy shall be filled with the fullness of the true powerful Spirit of our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ – or, as Jesus told John, “shall be clothed in white raiment” – not dirty raiment (or garments). John was taught that “the white raiment” represents “the righteousness of saints” (Revelation 19:8). On your own time read Jeremiah 23:6, 1 Corinthians 1:30, Romans 13:14, and Galatians 3:27 – these scriptures reveal unto us the importance of righteousness to God and that righteousness can only come from Him! Therefore, Beloved, only righteous people will inherit the City of Heaven!

Precious Ones, do not be deceived – our God is perfectly just and fair. Those who died without the knowledge of God’s Holy Spirit shall be “counted worthy” if they walked in all of the light of God’s Word they knew! However, those who live now have no excuse for not knowing about the Holy Spirit of Jesus Christ. Those who live now and will walk in the light, shall be “made worthy of being clothed in white raiment (Jesus’ righteousness by faith justification).” That is why our God inspired Paul to write, “[T]o every man [and woman] that is among you [the saints], not to think of himself more highly than he ought to think; but to think soberly, according as God hath dealt to every man the measure of faith” (Romans 12:3). This means that some individuals have more faith than others and to some God has revealed more of Himself than to others. So, if you want to get to see Jesus’ face in peace, walk in all of the faith and revelation that has been given to you. “Overcome” the temptation to live beneath your realm of righteous knowledge, because you may be surrounded by others who do not know any better. Beloved, our God judges us based on our personal level of knowledge of what is right and what is wrong!

I will write more on this subject next week. Until then, know this…

I love you ALL so very much.
In His love,
