3/29/09 RIGHTFUL LIVING KEEPS YOU and YOUR CHILDREN
HEARD: Infrastructure.
PIX: I saw something like a spirit walking
back and forth, back and forth at our kitchen
threshold. It was not able to enter in.
HEARD: Not able to enter in. How is that?
The path of righteousness, it keeps you. Because
they’re born again? A path is a choice, not just
faith. Rightful living.
Matt 3:15 AMP
But Jesus replied to
him, Permit it just now; for this is the fitting way for
[both of] us to fulfill all righteousness [that is, to
perform completely whatever is right]. Then he permitted
Him.
Matt 3:15 NLT
But Jesus said, "It must be done, because we must do
everything that is right." So then John baptized him.
Matt 5:17-20 NKJV
"Do not think that I came to destroy the Law or the
Prophets. I did not come to destroy but to fulfill. 18
For assuredly, I say to you, till heaven and earth pass
away, one jot or one tittle will by no means pass from
the law till all is fulfilled. 19 Whoever therefore
breaks one of the least of these commandments, and
teaches men so, shall be called least in the kingdom of
heaven; but whoever does and teaches them, he shall be
called great in the kingdom of heaven. 20 For I say to
you, that unless your righteousness exceeds the
righteousness of the scribes and Pharisees, you will by
no means enter the kingdom of heaven.
John 16:7-11 NKJV
7 Nevertheless I tell you the truth. It is to your
advantage that I go away; for if I do not go away, the
Helper will not come to you; but if I depart, I will
send Him to you. 8 And when He has come, He will
convict the world of sin, and of righteousness , and of
judgment: 9 of sin, because they do not believe in Me;
10 of righteousness , because I go to My Father and you
see Me no more; 11 of judgment, because the ruler of
this world is judged.
RIGHTEOUSNESS
dikaios
NT:1342 dikaios (dik'-ah-yos); from NT:1349;
equitable (in character or act); by implication,
innocent, holy (absolutely or relatively):
KJV - just, meet, right (-eous).
HEARD: Your children’s future is secure.
Things can change, depending upon your behavior.
Walking the right path, it makes a difference. It keeps
you. Righteousness is not just faith, it is works.
James 2:26 NKJV
What does it profit, my brethren, if someone says he
has faith but does not have works ? Can faith save him?
15 If a brother or sister is naked and destitute of
daily food, 16 and one of you says to them, "Depart in
peace, be warmed and filled," but you do not give them
the things which are needed for the body, what does it
profit? 17 Thus also faith by itself, if it does not
have works , is dead. 18 But someone will say, "You
have faith , and I have works ." Show me your faith
without your works , and I will show you my faith by my
works . 19 You believe that there is one God. You do
well. Even the demons believe — and tremble! 20 But do
you want to know, O foolish man, that faith without
works is dead? 21
Was not Abraham our father justified by works when he
offered Isaac his son on the altar? 22 Do you see that
faith was working together with his works , and by works
faith was made perfect? 23 And the Scripture was
fulfilled which says, "Abraham believed God, and it was
accounted to him for righteousness." And he was called
the friend of God. 24 You see then that a man is
justified by works , and not by faith only.
25 Likewise, was not Rahab the harlot also justified by
works when she received the messengers and sent them out
another way? 26 For as the body without the spirit is
dead, so faith without works is dead also.

3/30/09 WHAT HAS GONE WRONG?
HEARD:
To be right with God.
HEARD:
To say to those who would listen. You are
My people. Come out of her My beloved. My ways are not
your ways. You are in a pattern. A holding pattern.
Circling. To find repentance.
HEARD:
It’s a gift to see yourselves change.
Into My image.
INSERT 3/29/09 CHANGE
HEARD: Destiny. Winds of destiny. Change
into His likeness. It has not yet appeared what we
shall be.
1 John 3:2-3 NKJV
Beloved, now we are children of God; and it has not
yet been revealed what we shall be, but we know that
when He is revealed, we shall be like Him, for we shall
see Him as He is. And everyone who has this hope in Him
purifies himself, just as He is pure.
HEARD:
What has gone wrong? Adjustment.
Alignment. In synch. To live a righteous life. What
does that mean? The gospel. To come back to what is
holy. The Son of God, just as Jesus walked.
HEARD:
Your neighborhood school district. Where
are our leaders? Fallen. Their right to vote. Its all
about love and what you do to make a difference. Be
obedient and say your part. An agreement with heaven.
I need you says the Lord. Each one of you. Your vote
matters. To rule the earth. Step up to
the plate and speak what is right.
PIX: I saw a flash of a light clash with
darkness.
HEARD:
That’s the championship we are talking
about. Fellowship with the world. Who will listen?
Repaid and put back into place.
WORD TO PONDER:
RIGHTFUL LIVING
KEEPS YOU and YOUR CHILDREN 3/29/09
In religion, people perform works and live the lie of
self righteousness in order to find faith. But I say
that there is not one righteous, without faith in Jesus
Christ. Yes beloved ones, righteousness is imputed to
you through faith when you are born again. Yet even so,
righteousness is also a choice to live right, in
alignment with My Word. Even as Jesus was instructed
to perform what was right, so My Word instructs you to
walk in righteousness.
I have My people in a holding pattern and they are
circling until they receive the gift to see themselves
change and return to what is holy and walking as Jesus
walked. Lives and children are at risk of falling into
deeper ruin. The church has lost its voice because she
has not voted with her mouth, nor backed it up with
righteous living. Yes it is a clash with darkness.
Come out the darkness, My people. My ways are not your
ways. Return and walk just as Jesus walked as the light
of the world. As you learn to walk in righteousness, it
will keep you and make your future secure.
Matt 3:15 AMP
But Jesus replied to him, Permit it just now; for
this is the fitting way for [both of] us to fulfill all
righteousness [that is, to perform completely whatever
is right]. Then he permitted Him.
Acts 13:47 NKJV
For so the Lord has commanded us: 'I have set you as
a light to the Gentiles,
That you should be for salvation to the ends of the
earth.'"
Acts 26:17-18 NKJV
I now send you, to open their eyes, in order to turn
them from darkness to light , and from the power of
Satan to God, that they may receive forgiveness of sins
and an inheritance among those who are sanctified by
faith in Me.' |
