“Do You desire to be made ‘Whole?’ –
101” …Blog.
What
is IT… in your Past or Present: that keeps You from having a Peace (Isaiah
32:17) in Christ Jesus and
Fellowship with Him… in His Holy Word…?

(John 5:1-to-8) After this there was a feast of the
Jews, and Jesus went up to Jerusalem.
(John 5:2) Now there is a pool at the Sheep Gate at
Jerusalem, which is called in
Hebrew Bethesda, having five porches.
(John 5:3) In these lay a great multitude of those
who were sick, of blind, lame, withered, waiting for the moving of the water.
(John 5:4) For an angel went down at a certain
time into the pool and troubled the water. Then whoever first stepped in after
the troubling of the water was made
whole of whatever disease he had.
(John 5:5) And
a certain man was there, who had an infirmity thirty-eight years. [38]
(John 5:6) When Jesus saw him lying, and knowing that he had spent much
time, He [Jesus] said to him, Do you desire to be made whole?
(John 5:7) The
infirm man answered Him, Sir, when the water is troubled, I have no one to put
me into the pool. But while I am coming, another steps down before me.
(John 5:8) Jesus says to him, Rise, take up your bed
and walk.

(1Corinthains 6:9-10-11) You know that wicked people will Not
inherit the kingdom of God, don't you? Stop deceiving yourselves! Sexually
immoral people, idolaters, adulterers, male prostitutes, homosexuals,
(1Cor 6:10)
thieves, greedy people, drunks, slanderers, and robbers will NOT inherit the
kingdom of God. (Revelation
20:15)
(1Cor 6:11) That is what Some of you were! But you were Washed, you were
Sanctified, you were Justified in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ and in the
Spirit of our God. [Romans 8:9]
***
(1Timothy 1:19-20) with faith and a good [Clear] conscience. By ignoring their
consciences, some people have Destroyed their Faith like a wrecked ship. [Proverbs
28:13 & Romans 6:1-2]
(1Tim 1:20) These
include Hymenaeus and Alexander, whom I handed over to Satan so that they may learn Not to blaspheme.
Occasionally, some of those who read these blogs… will share
with me about some of the struggles in their lives. Some will even come right
out and ask ‘Specific Questions’… wanting answers from His Holy Word. The Holy
Spirit has been working on them and in humility: they are willing to ask for ‘help
& wisdom’ which comes from the Scriptures. Each of us, before we came to
Christ Jesus, were living in the darkness of SIN: blinded by… “Self &
Satan!” Even some after coming to Christ Jesus for Salvation, have troubles
understanding Him & His Holy Word. There is something, ‘Holding’ them back.
In most instances, it is Pride with “Un-confessed/Un-Repented: SIN/SINS!” Surely
Most of us know and speak… John 1:9…
“IF we confess our sins…!” But that is ONLY as far as they are willing to go.
They Completely MISS… “Proverbs 28:13
& Romans 6:1-2”…! Perhaps this is the reason that they… “Do Not Enjoy:
Fellowship with Christ Jesus… In His Holy WORD”…! Perhaps that is WHY: they
have “No Hunger” to… “Learn & Know & Obey”… the His Truths, found in
His Holy Word? Perhaps to them, it is the ‘Bible’ and… NOT: “His Holy Word”…?

*** (Hebrews 2:15) and deliver
those who through fear of death were ALL
their lifetime subject to bondage.
***
(2Corinthains 4:3-4) So IF
our gospel is veiled; it is veiled to those who are dying.
(2Cor 4:4) In their case, the god of this world [Satan]; has blinded
the minds of those who do not believe:
to keep them from seeing the light of the glorious gospel of Christ; Who is the
image of God.
*** (1Jn
2:15-16-17) Do Not LOVE the world, nor
the things in the world. If anyone
loves the world, the love of the Father is Not in him,
(1Jn 2:16) because ALL that is in the world, the Lust of the
Flesh, and the Lust of the Eyes, and the Pride of Life, is NOT of the Father
[God], but is of the world.
(1Jn 2:17)
And the world passes away, and the lust of it, but he who does the will [Word] of God abides forever. [John 7:38-39]
*** (1John 1:5-to-10) This is the Message that we have heard from him and declare
to you: God is light, and in him there is No darkness-none at all!
(1Jn 1:6) IF we claim that we have fellowship
with him BUT keep living in the
darkness, we are Lying and the Truth is NOT in us.
(1Jn 1:7) But IF we keep living in the light as He
[God] Himself is in the light, we have fellowship with one another, and the blood of Jesus His Son [Keeps On] cleansing
us from ALL sin.
(1Jn 1:8) IF we say that we do Not have any sin,
we are Deceiving ourselves and the Truth is Not in us.
(1Jn 1:9) IF we make it our habit to Confess our
sins, He is faithful and righteous to forgive us those sins and cleanse us from
all unrighteousness. [Proverbs 28:13
& Romans 6:1-2]
(1Jn 1:10) IF we say that we have never sinned, we
make Him a liar and His Word is Not in us.
“The
‘Siblings’ of “Believing = Faith” – 101”…Blog.
“Forgive your Enemies”… “Mark 11:25-26…? Or else your
Heavenly Father, will NOT forgive You! How many of us know those Bible verses? But just
Suppose: they are Dead? Someone Abused You, or even your Parents in their “IGNORANCE”…
did Not show You LOVE… you expected? Many Adults… “NOW” claim that ‘Mom or Dad’
or Both: Loved their Sibling [s], more than “THEM!” They are now Adults, and
still carry those “Emotional Scars!” Christ Jesus is continuing to ASK: Do you
desire to be made whole? Forgiveness is both on the horizontal and
vertical levels. Between Man & God: and between “Each of Us!” When You are
willing to Forgive: You simply break that “Emotional Bondage of UN-Forgiveness”…
that You have placed upon yourself. NO, Life is… “Not Fair!” NO One of us can
be Completely FAIR: in every circumstance. We do NOT know the Heart of another,
so then: how can “You be Fair?” Surely You want GOD to Judge that Person: who
has hurt You… “Emotionally & in Other Ways?” And when He Doesn’t… ‘You take
it Personally!’ Please allow me to ASK: When did God DIE: And Make You… “BOSS”…?
Absolutely… “Never!” Did You miss… “Job
2:9-10”…?
*** (John 15:22-23-24) If
I [Jesus] had Not come and spoken to them, they would Not have had sin; but
now they have No Excuse for their SIN.
(John 15:23) He who hates Me [Jesus]: hates My Father
[God] also.
(John 15:24) If I [Jesus] had Not done among them
the works which No other did; they would Not have had sin. But now they have both seen and hated Me [Jesus] and My Father [God].
*** (Isaiah 55:8-to-11) For My thoughts are not your thoughts,
neither are your ways My ways, says the LORD.
(Isa 55:9) For as the heavens are higher than the
earth, so are My ways higher than
your ways, and My thoughts than your thoughts.
(Isa 55:10) For as the rain comes down, and the
snow from the heavens, and does not return there, but waters the earth, and
makes it bring out and bud, and give seed to the sower and bread to the eater;
(Isa 55:11) so shall My WORD be, which goes out of My mouth; it shall NOT return to
Me void, but it shall accomplish what I please, and it shall certainly do what
I sent it to do.

(Proverbs 30:4) WHO has gone up to Heaven and has come down? WHO has gathered the wind in His fists? WHO has bound the waters in His
garments? WHO has established all
the ends of the earth? What is His name, and what is His Son's name? Surely you know?
*** (2Corinthains 11:4) For if someone comes along and preaches Another Jesus than the one we preached,
or should you receive a Different Spirit
from the one you received or a Different
Gospel from the one you accepted, you are all too willing to
listen.

it was: ‘NOT’… the Roman soldiers –> that nailed
Christ Jesus to the Cross…!
It was the “SINS” of… “ME,

Blog…? You may have to
read though it several times. It was NOT written to be a “Quick Fix!” [Band
Aid]: in Your relationship with Christ Jesus and your lifetime THINGS You were
holding onto…! That will take some time to remedy. No, Not at His Throne of
Grace… but in your “Mind & Heart!” “Emotional & Mental & Physical”
healing is dependent ON: your ability & willingness… “To Obey Him & His
Holy Word!” Your heart response to Him & His Holy Word… IS THE: “ONLY ISSE”…!
And NOT: what You have gone through in your life! Prepare You heart and then… SHARE with HIM…? [2Chronicles 12:14 &
Ezra 7:10]

(Hebrews 9:14) how much more will the blood of Christ,
Who through the eternal Spirit offered
Himself unblemished to God; cleanse
our consciences from dead works so that we may serve the “Living God!”
