Reckon

Tonight, as I was listening to a message about Gods showing us that we are totally and irrevocably saved and redeemed by Christ Resurrection Father said do you reckon.  I love it when Father speaks to me in my understanding-doesn’t He always-yes and amen.  Being from the South we us this term often in conversation.  I reckon, which is, I am sure this is true.  Yes and amen  How good  and merciful my God(Psalm 118:29) to show me His love and grace in my Lord Jesus Christ.

Reckon is to count, compute, calculate.  Yes I calculate and compute that my Lord is full of grace and truth(John 1:14,19) and that He is the Savior sent by God the Father to save us all. (John 3:16-17) I reckon(in the Greek it is logizomai) taking in account the love of God for us.(I John 4:9-10,19)  Yes and amen  Not satisfied to stop there reckon that we are made the righteousness of God(II Corinthians 5:21) by Gods hand alone. (Titus 3: 4-7) Yes and amen  All the needs that you have have.  Have been met and all of God Himself is yours(II Corinthians 1:20)  I reckon we are so truly blessed unmerited and unearned and most definitely undeserved. Grace and nothing but.  amen

One last item Father showed me.  I love Him so.  Logizomai is part of lego or logos.  The Word.  I reckon all came to us by the Word of God which is our Lord Jesus Christ.(John 1:1-3)  yes and amen

reckon yourself blessed

reckon yourself beloved

reckon yourself pleasing to God in Christ

reckon for sure

So Loved

What have we done or what can we do to be beloved of God?  Nothing, for He first loved(I John 4:10, 19)us and by His love and grace are we able to love Him.  Yes we love God, of this, there is no doubt but how gracious that even our love cometh from our God.  Oh so good and merciful.(Psalm 118:29) yes and amen

This morning Father had me reading of His great love by Jesus Christ,our great shepherd, in John 10.  He said you know God(Elohim-the Triune God) So Loved the world-John 3:16 you may see in John 10:3.  I had never really looked at this verse except to see the Lord Jesus as our Shepherd.  Which is what the Father and the Holy Spirit wants us to see.  yes and amen  However Father said you will see God loving you and all the sheep.

I like the NIV version of this verse:   the gatekeeper opens the gate for Him, and the sheep listen to His voice.  He calls His own sheep by name and they follow Him.  Our heavenly Father, Abba, daddy is the gatekeeper.  He opens the gate for His Son(sent Him) to and for us as our great shepherd(gate-John 10:7,9) yes and amen  We now heed our Lords voice by the Holy Spirits revelation and teaching(II Peter 3:18, John 14: 16-31) we now as His sheep may come in and out of the Throne of Grace because of our Shepherd. (John 10;9-Hebrews 4;14-16)

So deeply, personally loved by our God: Abba, Lord Jesus and the Holy Spirit.  Blessed indeed, redeemed and saved beyond that which we can even understand.  Yes and amen

How blessed that the enemy comes but to steal-our God gives.  The enemy to kill yet we have been given life eternal.  To destroy but being made the righteousness of God we are forever, irrevocably redeemed.  So loved yes and amen.

Our Lord

The Law of the God is sure and perfect in all its ways(Romans 7:12)

It has done what God meant it to do

to show all man we cannot fulfill the law(Romans 7:15-25)

but we will always be short of its perfection

and hence always be short of Gods ways by our hands(Titus 3:4-7)

Yet in the Law comes our Salvation(John 3:14-17)

fully in Grace and Truth(John 1:14,19)

The Son our Lord Jesus Christ

What love now  the Law we follow and keep(I John 4)

yet even in the Love we know it is not us but our Shepherd(Psalm 23)

For God in His goodness and mercy(Psalm 118:29)

it has always been about us, His creation

His children

His beloved

Now written on our hearts and by His love fufilled

Our Lord Jesus Christ

Light

Jesus is our light. (John 1:9, Isiah 49:6)  He is the very presence Light of God to the world so all may see, all may know. (Romans 1:19-20)

Father wanted to remind me of His Light-Christ Jesus.  Now in this time of unrest, terrorism and diseases and working– all things are exposed to the Light.  Praise God we are in His Light— beloved.(I John 2:8)  yes and amen

He is reminding me of His great love(Jesus our Christ) and of His arms, the mighty arms of El Shaddai covers me(Psalms 91- all who believe in Christ.  The world will grow darker as the time of Christs return draws near but we have no fear(II Timothy 1:6, I John 4:17-19) Our God is with us and given us His most perfect Light.(Psalm 23)  amen

So Father telling me(He cannot lie-Numbers 23:19) that as the darkness grows His Light will shine even more.  For Christ at the Cross has defeated darkness and the enemy once for all.  Oh hallelujah  we are of and in the light.  We can never be dark for God dwells in us. (I Corinthians 3:16)  His Light forever shining forth.  Him in us.  yes and amen  How good and merciful our God. (Psalm 118:29)

Blessed beloved

Our Light

IS not a thing

but the person of

Christ Jesus, our Lord

Truth revealed

The love of our God shown us daily and in each moment by His Word.  Our Lord Jesus(John 1:1-3)He revealed to us by His Truth.(John 1:14,19)  Grace love and mercy.  Our God is good and merciful and He gives not just today( daily-yes)but for all eternity.  Think-not just daily but for the rest of our existence. (Psalm 118:29) Wow In Jesus Christ our Lord.  amen

In II Corinthians 3:6-18 we see how our Lord Jesus, the Truth, is made know unto us and how now we see Him clearly and not in a dark mirror as in the Old Testament.  He is revealed to us like never before cause of the Cross.  How blessed and graced are we.  yes and amen  The love of our God indeed.  Loving us first(I John 4:19)  Truth in Christ Jesus our Lord of Salvation and so much more.  amen

Why we have Truth (II Corinthians 4:6) in us.  So listen to the Truth(Holy Spirit will lead us-John 14:26, II Peter 3:18) and see Jesus in all things and knowing the Truth.  If not Him then not true and not to be apart of.   We must be strong yet loving(Matthew 10:16) more today than in past times.  The Truth will sustain us-our Lord Jesus is the answer that the world seeks,  needing to see Him.(I Peter 2:9)  Knowing that it is Gods love that leads to repentance and not judgement.  Truth-Jesus Christ    Does not mean we turn our eyes away or condone but that we love and say God loves you even as we are His righteousness(II Corinthians 5:18-21) by His grace and not our own(Titus 3:5).  Jesus the Truth and Salvation is ours.  Yes and amen

Sweet Truth

Living Grace
