For if by the transgression of the one, death reigned through the one, much more those who receive the abundance of grace and of the gift of righteousness will reign in life through the One, Jesus Christ. Romans 5:17.
Today your LORD (יהוה) God (אלהים) says:
There comes a time that the decision must be made of which road you will take for the rest of your life.
You will make known to me the path of life; in Your presence is fullness of joy; in Your right hand there are pleasures forever. Psalm 16:11.
The path of life or the path of death. I set before you life and death, the blessing and the curse, you choose which path you will follow.
I call heaven and earth to witness against you today, that I have set before you life and death, the blessing and the curse. So choose life in order that you may live, you and your descendants, by loving the LORD your God, by obeying His voice, and by holding fast to Him; for this is your life and the length of your days. Deuteronomy 30:19-20.
This is serious. Adam chose death and it spread down to all his descendants. Jesus is life. Adam is death. The choice is that. Stay like Adam or receive Jesus as Lord.
If you choose life I can open the path for you and lead you to the best of the land. If you choose death, the devil will take over your plan. That is what Adam chose.
This is the way of those who are foolish, and of those after them who approve their words. Selah. as sheep they are appointed for hell; death shall be their shepherd; and the upright shall rule over them in the morning, and their form shall be for hell to consume so that they have no habitation. But God will redeem my soul from the power of hell, for He will receive me. Psalm 49:13-15.
Adam went from life to death. You must now pass from death to life.
“Truly, truly, I say to you, he who hears My word, and believes Him who sent Me, has eternal life, and does not come into judgment, but has passed out of death into life.” John 5:24.
By Adam’s sin he cut himself off from Me, from the spiritual to the flesh, from light to darkness but in Jesus you come back to the spiritual from the flesh and return to light from the darkness.
For He rescued us from the domain of darkness, and transferred us to the kingdom of His beloved Son, in whom we have redemption, the forgiveness of sins. Colossians 1:13-14.
Adam put your perception of Me on something similar to what “airplane mode” does to your phones and computers, i.e., airplane mode is a setting on smartphones, tablets, and laptops that instantly disables all wireless transmission functions—including cellular, Wi-Fi, and Bluetooth, so that when turned on, airplane mode severs your device’s connection to the outside world. In Jesus, however, I took you off airplane mode and put you so you could again receive the input and messages from Me, that is, from the Kingdom of Heaven.
Jesus answered and said to him, “Truly, truly, I say to you, unless one is born again from above he cannot see the kingdom of God.” Nicodemus said to Him, “How can a man be born when he is old? He cannot enter a second time into his mother’s womb and be born, can he?” Jesus answered, “Truly, truly, I say to you, unless one is born of water and the Spirit he cannot enter into the kingdom of God. That which is born of the flesh is flesh, and that which is born of the Spirit is spirit. John 3:3-6.
He came to His own, and those who were His own did not receive Him. But as many as received Him, to them He gave the right to become children of God, even to those who believe in His name, who were born, not of blood nor of the will of the flesh nor of the will of man, but of God. John 1:11-13.
All hopes and dreams end in hell. There is no future or hope for those there. All is lost. But for you who believe, all hopes and dreams are forever in Heaven. In Heaven, there is no end to beautiful things and fulfilled visions and dreams that take you ever higher and higher. Heaven is the place where dreams come true for I am always doing something new.
This is serious. It is time to seek Me while I can be found and call while I am still near in this great time of grace in Christ Jesus who is the solution to the fall of Adam for all. In Him I give you back a future and a hope, and hope does not disappoint for those who believe and receive the grace of My Son.
How do you get on the glorious path of life that brings you to fullness of joy in My presence and the delights at My right hand forever? This is something everyone must know if they want eternal life in the beauty of holiness.
First, you must receive Jesus as Lord and be born again from above into My family that is called by My Name. And I tell you exactly how to do that:
But the righteousness based on faith speaks as follows: “Do not say in your heart, ‘Who will ascend into heaven?’ (that is, to bring Christ down), or ‘Who will descend into the abyss?’ (that is, to bring Christ up from the dead).”But what does it say? “The word is near you, in your mouth and in your heart”—that is, the word of faith which we are preaching, that if you confess with your mouth Jesus as Lord, and believe in your heart that God raised Him from the dead, you will be saved; for with the heart a person believes, resulting in righteousness, and with the mouth he confesses, resulting in salvation. For the Scripture says, “Whoever believes in Him will not be disappointed.” For there is no distinction between Jew and Greek; for the same Lord is Lord of all, abounding in riches for all who call on Him; for “Whoever will call on the name of the Lord will be saved.” Romans 10:6-13.
Does this remind you of something? It should.
“For this commandment which I command you today is not too difficult for you, nor is it out of reach. It is not in heaven, that you should say, ‘Who will go up to heaven for us to get it for us and make us hear it, that we may observe it?’ Nor is it beyond the sea, that you should say, ‘Who will cross the sea for us to get it for us and make us hear it, that we may observe it?’ But the word is very near you, in your mouth and in your heart, that you may observe it. “See, I have set before you today life and prosperity, and death and adversity; in that I command you today to love the Lord your God, to walk in His ways and to keep His commandments and His statutes and His judgments, that you may live and multiply, and that the Lord your God may bless you in the land where you are entering to possess it.” Deuteronomy 30:11-16.
This life is only a test in the window of time that will determine your eternity. What you choose will seal you into that choice forever.
“For God so loved the world, that He gave His only begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him shall not perish, but have eternal life. For God did not send the Son into the world to judge the world, but that the world might be saved through Him. He who believes in Him is not judged; he who does not believe has been judged already, because he has not believed in the name of the only begotten Son of God.” John 3:16-19.
The judgment came upon all mankind when Adam sinned. To have it paid in full and your sentence to the second death satisfied you must receive the gift of Jesus or you will perish. And you receive Him only by faith, believing in your heart and confessing with your mouth.
Death and life are in the hand of your tongue. Proverbs 18:21.
Second, once you have received Jesus as Lord, you must renew your mind to think in accordance with My Word so that you may take your authority over evil in the name of Jesus. You must come to know the truth. My heart’s desire and My Will is that all men and women be saved AND that they come to know and walk in the truth.
So Jesus was saying to those Jews who had believed Him, “If you continue in My word, then you are truly disciples of Mine; and you will know the truth, and the truth will make you free.” John 8:30-32.
The truth will set you free from every evil work that the devil and the demonic spirits have set in motion against you. Answering the devil’s lies with the truth is the way you tread him down and I give all the territory on which your feet tread.
Now it came about after the death of Moses the servant of the LORD, that the LORD spoke to Joshua the son of Nun, Moses’ servant, saying, “Moses My servant is dead; now therefore arise, cross this Jordan, you and all this people, to the land which I am giving to them, to the sons of Israel. Every place on which the sole of your foot treads, I have given it to you, just as I spoke to Moses.” Joshua 1:1-3.
And the third step, once you have received Jesus as Lord and have begun to renew your mind in My Word, is to continue the renewal of your mind as you walk out the path of life I have planned for you in which you will shine by doing My Word with, through, and in Me.
“Therefore everyone who hears these words of Mine and does them, may be compared to a wise man who built his house on the rock. And the rain fell, and the floods came, and the winds blew and slammed against that house; and yet it did not fall, for it had been founded on the rock. Everyone who hears these words of Mine and does not act on them, will be like a foolish man who built his house on the sand. The rain fell, and the floods came, and the winds blew and slammed against that house; and it fell—and great was its fall.” Matthew 7:24-27.
You are building a beautiful edifice, the structure of your life, with Me by keeping My Word. It is not enough just to know My Word, you also must do My Word in the way that brings it to pass. You have to know not only My Will as expressed in My Word but also My ways of how you bring the promise in that Word into manifestation. I put My Words in your mouth that you may plant and establish My Kingdom in the earth. And you do that by following the way I do that. How do I do that? I tell you and I show you, but the Israelites failed to take possession of the land I had given them because though they saw My works they did not know My ways so they never entered My rest.
Go back to the beginning because I speak the end from the beginning that is My way of bringing things into existence that are not there yet but are My plan, that is, My vision. I see them already as conceived in My heart. I am the author and the finisher of your faith. In the beginning there was darkness and there was a void and My Spirit hovered over the waters. What did I do? Did I speak what I saw—tell it like it is? No, I did not. I spoke the result I saw in My heart, I spoke what I wanted to see not what I saw. I said, “Light be” and the light showed up. I called it and it came. I set the desired end and My Holy Spirit was the power that made it come to be.
Think of a thermostat, a small box on the wall. When you enter the room you decide it is too hot in the room, you go look at the thermostat and it reads 90 degrees. You set it to 75 degrees. But it is not 75 degrees in the room, so if you maintain you just speak things as they are you would have to leave it at 90 degrees. But you know that would be foolish to get what you want and can have, not because there is any power in the thermostat but because what you input there causes the power source that is in a big box to activate to change the temperature in the room to what you want.
In the presence of Him whom he believed, God, who gives life to the dead and calls the things which do not exist as existing. Romans 4:17.
Please notice I do not call the things that be as though they don’t exist. They do. You may have pain or have allowed sickness into your body. Do not pretend it is not there. No. I did not say it was not dark, it was, so I called in the light. Call in your healing because it is there waiting on your faith to call it in.
I love you. Learn My ways. I make them plain to you in My Word. My Words are life to those who find them. Choose life that you and your descendants my live. Good choices make for good endings.
