Let’s read Ephesians 1

May God himself, the heavenly Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, release grace over you and impart total well-being into your lives.

Our Sonship and the Father’s Plan

3 Every spiritual blessing in the heavenly realm has already been lavished upon us as a love gift from our wonderful heavenly Father, the Father of our Lord Jesus—all because he sees us wrapped into Christ. This is why we celebrate him with all our hearts!
4 And in love he chose us before he laid the foundation of the universe! Because of his great love, he ordained us, so that we would be seen as holy in his eyes with an unstained innocence.
5-6 For it was always in his perfect plan to adopt us as his delightful children, through our union with Jesus, the Anointed One, so that his tremendous love that cascades over us would glorify his grace —for the same love he has for the Beloved, Jesus, he has for us. And this unfolding plan brings him great pleasure!

“Obedience is Action“. Think about that. Besides the thought of being doers of the Word – that is “doing,” we can keep ourselves from not doing things we should not do. Paul mentions (Rav Shaul) he does things he should not do and the things he should do he does not. Although not complete, a lengthy CJB (Complete Jewish Bible) rendition of Rav Shaul’s (The Apostle Paul) discussion is below for you to read. Please note that if you find yourself struggling with sinful passions, Paul gives a very good explanation here. This is something all human beings struggle with. Do not lose faith and think God loves you less in your struggle. Unfortunately, others may give you that impression. But God has washed us in His Son’s precious blood, making us a new creation. Let’s read about being washed in the Blood of the Lamb before we read Romans:

Rev 7:14-17
They have washed their robes and made them white with the blood of the Lamb. That is why they are before God’s throne.

“Day and night they serve him in his Temple;
and the One who sits on the throne
will put his Sh’khinah upon them.

“They will never again be hungry,
they will never again be thirsty,
the sun will not beat down on them,
nor will any burning heat.

“For the Lamb at the center of the throne
will shepherd them, will lead them
to springs of living water,
and God will wipe every tear from their eyes.”

So my friends, If God is for us, who can be against us? All hell cannot stand before the meekest blood-bought saint! Do not forget that!

Rom 7:7-25

7 Therefore, what are we to say? That the Torah is sinful? Heaven forbid! Rather, the function of the Torah was that without it, I would not have known what sin is. For example, I would not have become conscious of what greed is if the Torah had not said, “Thou shalt not covet.” 8 But sin, seizing the opportunity afforded by the commandment, worked in me all kinds of evil desires — for apart from Torah, sin is dead. 9 I was once alive outside the framework of Torah. But when the commandment really encountered me, sin sprang to life, 10 and I died. The commandment that was intended to bring me life was found to be bringing me death! 11 For sin, seizing the opportunity afforded by the commandment, deceived me; and through the commandment, sin killed me. 12 So the Torah is holy; that is, the commandment is holy, just and good.

13 Then did something good become for me the source of death? Heaven forbid! Rather, it was sin working death in me through something good, so that sin might be clearly exposed as sin, so that sin through the commandment might come to be experienced as sinful beyond measure. 14 For we know that the Torah is of the Spirit; but as for me, I am bound to the old nature, sold to sin as a slave. 15 I don’t understand my own behavior — I don’t do what I want to do; instead, I do the very thing I hate! 16 Now if I am doing what I don’t want to do, I am agreeing that the Torah is good. 17 But now it is no longer “the real me” doing it, but the sin housed inside me. 18 For I know that there is nothing good housed inside me — that is, inside my old nature. I can want what is good, but I can’t do it! 19 For I don’t do the good I want; instead, the evil that I don’t want is what I do! 20 But if I am doing what “the real me” doesn’t want, it is no longer “the real me” doing it but the sin housed inside me. 21 So I find it to be the rule, a kind of perverse “torah,” that although I want to do what is good, evil is right there with me! 22 For in my inner self I completely agree with God’s Torah; 23 but in my various parts, I see a different “torah,” one that battles with the Torah in my mind and makes me a prisoner of sin’s “torah,” which is operating in my various parts. 24 What a miserable creature I am! Who will rescue me from this body bound for death? 25 Thanks be to God [, he will]! — through Yeshua the Messiah, our Lord!

I can’t help but comment on Dr. Kevin Zadai’s text as I read it. The book of James is very sobering. I hope every Christian sees it for the double edge sword it is. James speaks of those who slander. So while we are to live circumspectly concerning our actions or the lack thereof, speaking of others, talking about the purity of a person, whether true or false, can place you in a precarious situation in God’s sight.

I degrees below: I hope someone who feels left out when in a church can know that God truly loves you and has not forsaken you.

You judge the Torah as James tells us and which Paul was speaking about in Romans 7 and the one Who fulfilled it – that is to say, His capability to fulfill the Torah and make us righteous in God’s sight. So being a doer is also not slandering your brother or sister. So often, we smear, do the devil’s work, and think we are “holding one another accountable.” What we say and how we say it, speaking behind one another’s back as opposed to being in fellowship and communicating, is not doing God’s will – following His Word.

I saw Dr. Kynan Bridges on Sid Roth’s show, “It’s Supernatural,” discuss how the Lord showed him when we speak of others behind their back demons access the hearer and the speaker in their conversation. He called it witchcraft in the church. I sit in the church, and I see good Christians beaten down by slander and ridicule that their calling has been completely quenched. I have also seen those slandering others fall short as well. This is not God’s will. It is a shame. Also, the person slandered is “demonized” – cursed by the words spoken. They may become twice the child of satan before they had come into a fellowship where there is slander. People begin to act out as their supposed peers view, speak of, and treat the person in question.

Sorry for digressing, but the greatest sin in the Body of Christ is not sexual sins but people slandering one another. We need to let the Holy Spirit show us what it is we must repent of. We must agree with God’s Word on what sin is. The only thing worse than sexual sins is murder. And after that, I would think it is slander. Rabii Joel Young, a Jewish Believer in Yeshua The Messiah, states that slander was equated with murder in the Old Testament. The person slandered was equated as being murdered.

Just as I was writing the text above, I saw a woman on Dr. Kevin Zadai’s show speak of her brother committing suicide due to slander. Also, I mentioned on this blog site how a pastor speaks of a young woman who was slandered also committed suicide. All of us will have to stand before the Bema Seat of Christ. As Dr. Kevin Zadai says, watch what you say of others because you will have to order your size:

While I write this, I note that we must always walk circumspectly according to the Bible, confess our sins and repent. I am saying I must repent. I must be honest with myself and my Lord if I am going to stand before Him one day which I will.

2 Corinthians 5:10
10 For we must all appear before the judgment seat of Christ, that each one may receive the things done in the body, according to what he has done, whether good or bad.
NKJV

God’s Love is what brings us to repentance. Jesus is a picture of God’s Love. He is the image of God. We are made in this image, and our Spirit needs to lead us and not our soulish self. The Spirit of God is what restores us. God’s righteous judgments are eternal and true. His Word endures forever, and we must walk in love. These words are for me as well as anyone who reads them. What is wonderful about God’s truth is that we can confess our sin, and God forgives us. That does not mean there aren’t repercussions in the here and now, but we can be assured as we fulfill our calling, the talents God has given us will richly reward us.
