Little Season Truth Testimony

Little Season Truth Testimony

My Little Season Truth Testimony: 


Nothing Is As It Seems ~ Setting The Stage 

~ Towards the end of 2019, we started seeing something out of China, that the news was broadcasting, and also being shown on social media of some sort of super V that was hitting the people over there which was beginning to causing fear and panic here in the USA and throughout the world. Then about February of 2020 I got hit with something, that put me in bed for a few days. Okay, so I started wondering was that it? Was that the V? Then we started seeing all the cruise ship stuff, with outbreaks onboard, and then masking came in too. But something was not adding up as the year 2020 progressed and more things seemed to be way off. And many more people started to actually become more fearful for their very lives. I thought it strange how most everyone was in a panic mode, and seemed to be making themselves sick for the worry that was going on. And it only got worse, California schools shut down in mid March and then towards the end of March California shut down completely just about all businesses, except "essential businesses" (whatever that was), and everyone was to stay at home. Very very strange. It was non stop fear being broadcast on the TV, and we were all glued to it. Now as we get towards the end of 2020 they are coming out with fast tracking the VX, and oh, by the way, there was a big "election" in there at the end of 2020 in the USA that was very very weird an outcome, and made no sense at all.

I remember sometime around early 2020, of having a dream, and I believe the Holy Spirit said to me, "Everything is going to be all right." And a peace that passes all understanding had come over me in my spirit in the morning having woken up and I started seeing things totally different. Nothing was as it seems.

I Began to See Things With 20/20 Vision ~ I Can See Clearly

The election of November 2020 was now playing out in the news, along with the V news, and things were not adding up on anything. Evidence was being shown of major election fraud, yet no one did anything about it. It went all the way up in the courts, and even the Supreme Court of the United States refused to hear the many many cases. How strange was that, that no one seemed to be paying attention to the details, nor did they even want to look at them? It was obvious that the election was not right. It was as though, All the powers to be, were in on it, as though "a kingdom divided can not stand." And then there was the 2021 inauguration that was so obviously staged and with a bumbling idiot on the stage too, and I kept pointing out to people how strange it was, and how the faces did not match up to what they once were. And everyone seemed to be ignoring things, because cognitive dissonance kicks in and is a very real thing. The world went on as if nothing had happened. I was telling people, "Can't you see what is going on? Something is not right!" Yet people largely ignored me on everything including evidence shown to them. They simply chose to ignore the evidence and went on believing what they were being fed in the News. Then I saw the Evil of the VX and warned people NOT to take it. Yet people even ignored that, and they got angry at me for saying anything to anyone. And people got angry at me when I refused to mask up, and had police called on me at a restaurant for refusing to mask up (that in itself was very strange at a restaurant no less, where you have to eat with your mouth), and then in March 2021 a customer I had for years, terminated my services, due to me refusing to answer their questions about if I was or not VXed. In essence I was fired as a contractor even though I had helped that customer out with my services for many years, and just months before, the owner was so thankful that I was one of their "essential businesses" that they could depend on for services during the previous tumultuous year. How quickly they forget. And that was a test of Faith by the way. I remember thinking I could lie about it, or come up with a fake VX card, or even wear a mask, but I knew in my heart this was NOT right and was going to tell it like it is, regardless of the consequences.

I warned my family and extended family and friends NOT to take the VX from the get go. Reminder, God is LOVE and Love always protects, no matter the consequences. Love always hopes the best for a person. It goes out of its way to do the right thing, even when people seem to be ignoring you. "Love always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres." 1 Corinthians 13:7 I know of others who also provided warnings with their families and friends, they went out of their way to speak out about it and warn others about it, in spite of what it meant for themselves. Some of our family members and friends listened to us, and others did not. Many paid the price for not listening, and some with their very lives. I lost a brother, in 2022 due to major blood clots after taking many jabs. Not a coincidence folks.

God Comforts Us Through Trials and Tribulation

Back to 2021. On the night of June 3, 2021, at 1:19 AM we received devastating news, our oldest son, 35 years young, who was over at a so-called friend's house, was given fentanyl laced marijuana that took him down right there on the spot. It hit our family hard. We found out later that fentanyl deaths were way up, and yet the police didn't do anything about it. We (my wife and I and our younger son, in his 30's at the time) arrived at the scene itself, to see him laying there on the ground motionless. I cannot begin to tell you what went through our minds at the time, anger, grief and lots of crying. The other boy (also around 35 years young), an actual dealer we suspected, but later learned that was indeed the case, was essentially closed mouth to the police who were questioning him at the scene (at the boy's mother's home), but we could tell he was out of his mind (high) at the time. I say 35 years young, because these young men were not really men, but lost boys, who never grew up. Folks, you've got to understand, that we did everything we could with the son of ours over the years to set him on the straight path, but he from an early age got involved in the wrong crowds always. However, it was a week earlier that he actually shared with us that he knew Jesus was God and was going to be with Him when he died. So, our son went to be home with the Lord. And for that we are greatful to know. God knew it was his time, and took him home.

Our oldest daughter was devastated when we gave her the news later that morning. Lots more tears and heartaches. It's rough when you loose a child of yours, but I knew that God was right there with us the whole time. 

As 2021 progressed, I began to see with clarity that which I had never seen before. I started paying attention to all the details, and Scripture verses were coming to my mind from in the past. I started seeing people as they truly are, and I knew something else was very very evil, that seemed to be everywhere. I began to see that we had placed our faith in Man instead of God. And all the while, people quickly seemed to forget the truth about the VX and the election, even as the year progressed. Everyone seemed to forget about everything. They started talking about politics again, as if nothing had changed. The Good Cop Bad Cop game was being played out on everything we were seeing, yet hardly anyone had the eyes to see it for themselves. I thought, this is very very strange that people can not see the stupidity of what was taking place in the news, and in their very lives. Tensions arose, and there seemed to be a greater and greater gulf between what I was seeing and what they did NOT see, or refused to see. Distant family became estranged and even closer family members thought I was crazy myself (and still think that) for talking about all the things I was seeing, even though they saw exactly what had happened in my own life with my job example and the cops called, and everything related to absurdity. They refuse to connect the dots, and many even refuse to look at the evidence. The saying, "You can lead a horse to water, but cannot make it drink" is shown repeatedly to be true in those around us.

Wisdom Comes Directly From God ~ Ask And it Shall be Given

"Now if any of you lacks wisdom, he should ask God, who gives generously to all without finding fault, and it will be given to him." James 1:5

I remember praying this prayer with my brother, the one I spoke earlier about, that his eyes would be opened and given wisdom and understanding directly by God to be shown what was really going on. And maybe my brother at the end of his flesh and blood life came to know the Lord (I do not know), but prior to that he was into Catholicism big time and did not have the Holy Spirit living in him. But maybe on his death bed, he came to accept Truth, for I had shared the gospel with him a number of times earlier in life, and I suspect others had also planted seeds in his life. But what I had no clue about for myself, is that God answered that prayer, to be shown what was going on even further for me also, more than I thought or could imagine.

During the 2020, 2021 and 2022 timeframe, I was being given wisdom and understanding directly by God of everything that was going on in the world. I was overwhelmed with emotions during this time. It was as if I was being taught every single moment in time, and I saw the Truth of the lies that were taking place on the world stage, and it was to the point that I wanted to share everything with everyone, because this was so important for everyone to see. Yet people seemed to have blinders on to TRUTH. I could not understand how people could ignore the things that I had shown them. Nothing was what we had been taught it was. Everything was a lie, including the realm we were living in and the time we were living. I learned that God the Father was directly overhead, and was closer than we ever thought or imagined. There were tears of Joy and sorrow, tears of understanding things in the past, tears of knowing God was protecting me in my life, even when I didn't recognize it at the time, tears of being overwhelmed with the knowledge of Truth. And yet there is so much more to know and understand.

ALL The Web of Lies Are Tied Together as One ~ The Little Season

I know there are some of you that can relate to this, but around the 2020 and on timeframe, with some learning earlier and some later, we were being given knowledge and understanding of everything that was going on in the world. The lies about the world in which we live, the coverups, and even to the point of discovering a group of people were children of the devil and had done word replacement theology within the Bible TRANSlations to make it seem like they were the people of God, and had discovered it was all a lie. How in the world could this ALL be done? How could everyone in the world be so deceived not to see what is going on? I started remembering the verse in Scripture, where satan was to be released for a short while, little while or little season. "And cast him into the bottomless pit, and shut him up, and set a seal upon him, that he should deceive the nations no more, till the thousand years should be fulfilled: and after that he must be loosed a little season." Revelation 20:3 I saw around this time that others were talking about the little season online. I remember going back to my early days when I first became a child of God, and read that verse of scripture and thinking to myself, how is it possible for everyone to be deceived, after having 1000 years of peace through the actual physical millennial reign of King Jesus upon the earth? And I also remember it was as though the Spirit of God was telling me in my spirit, "Look around." And then it finally hit me over the head, we are in the little season period of time! And everything began to make sense.

Satan (all of satan was released) and has deceived all the nations. The shape of the earth was also key in this deception, and once you know the True shape of the earth, then that gives you a huge piece of the puzzle of how the deception was done. Another huge piece of the puzzle is understanding Elite Gender Inversion (EGI) and the demons in inverted flesh suits. Only satan could pull this type of deception off upon the world, just as Scriptures had declared he would. And by the way, Satan is one, and work together as one unit, and have a hive mind. They are all in the deception together, and are very very good at it. And do not be surprised when I say, satan manifests itself in inverted flesh suits. Satan is not simply floating around on Earth, but they are being shown to us everyday on the Tell-a-Vision and the world stage, with lies upon lies upon lies as Satan is the father of Lies. Once you identify this, then you can see how the physical reality of the spiritual truth is played out for all to see. Yet most cannot see this, and even scoff at the idea of devils manifesting themselves as Man, as though they don't think demons are real either.

I could go into a lot of verses of Scripture proving the little season, and that the 1000 year reign has physically actually happened on Earth, just as God Jesus said He would return in their generation to those disciples of His back when He was telling them so. And that Jesus said, "some would NOT taste death, until they saw Jesus returning." But know this, the Temple was indeed destroyed as Jesus declared it would be, and there was Great Tribulation as Jesus declared there would be, and many of the early saints were indeed killed for their Faith. And Jesus physically returned to Earth, in flesh and bone, just as He said He would.

So How Did Satan Deceive Everyone During the Little Season?

Satan changed times, he wrote his own HIS-STORY, he destroyed evidence, he planted false teachers everywhere into the mix, he created religions, even the Christian religion was created by him because during the 1000 year reign there was only King Jesus, and everything revolved around Him, not as a religion, but as God and King. And news alert, Jesus is still King of kings and Lord of lords. It was Jesus who released Satan to deceive the nations again, just as He declared that would be the case. We could go on, and ask the question, "Why God, did you have to release Satan after the 1000 years?" and many of us have indeed asked that question. I believe there are lots of answers to the reason why. And in the future, I might go into some of the reasons why I think that to be the case.

How Did Satan Corrupt Churches?

Satan had key demons throughout after they were released after the physical 1000 year reign, and created churches that were NOT of God. There were subtle differences at first, but one key difference was the lies that was the establishment that forgiveness was NEVER finished at the cross. Satan hit that hard, the very core of the gospel message, making sure people believed that to "get" their sins forgiven by God, they needed to ask God to forgive them of their sins. That is the key tenant of all religion. This goes on in both Catholicism and Protestism and every religious sect big time. Forgiveness is never finished by God, so everyone keeps putting Jesus back up on the cross to forgive them their sins. And if anyone teaches that forgiveness is finished, and that no more asking for forgiveness is required by God, people look at you today as if you are selling universal salvation. And the reason they think that is because they don't really understand what salvation is in the first place. Salvation is NOT "getting" ones sins forgiven, but receiving the Holy Spirit for LIFE, which is salvation life that is ETERNAL. This is one of the key key things to understand. God Jesus took away the sins of the world at the cross with His shed blood. He did not cover them, as the blood of bulls and goats did through atonement, He took them away forever and ever. God is Not counting anyone's sins against them today, which is clear from Scriptures written after the cross, "that God was reconciling the world to Himself in Christ, not counting men’s trespasses (sins) against them. And He has committed to us the message of reconciliation." 2 Corinthians 5:19  The issue is a person DEAD, without the Spirit of God living in them, or have they come alive in Christ Jesus, with the Spirit of God living in them for ALL eternity. 

So How And When Does the Little Season End?

The details of exactly when it ends are not written down. But we are told, that fire will come down and destroy those who are doing this, and they will be cast into the eternal lake of fire for ever and ever. Personally I think it will be sooner rather than later.

Revelation 20:7-10

"And when the thousand years are expired, Satan shall be loosed out of his prison, And shall go out to deceive the nations which are in the four quarters of the earth, Gog and Magog, to gather them together to battle: the number of whom is as the sand of the sea. And they went up on the breadth of the earth, and compassed the camp of the saints about, and the beloved city: and fire came down from God out of heaven, and devoured them. And the devil that deceived them was cast into the lake of fire and brimstone, where the beast and the false prophet are, and shall be tormented day and night for ever and ever."

Jesus IS Life



Jesus IS Life

Jesus is the source, sustainer, and the One who gives life to the dead, offering both spiritual new birth being Born Again [John 3:3-21] of the Spirit, and having an abundant life now, which is Eternal LIFE at the very moment when a person places Faith in HIM, and HIM alone. In John 14:6, Jesus clearly states, "I am the way, and the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me".

Key Bible Verses on Jesus as Life:

  • John 1:4: "In him was life, and that life was the light of all mankind".
  • John 11:25: "Jesus said to her, 'I am the resurrection and the life. The one who believes in me will live, even though they die'".
  • John 10:10: "I have come that they may have life, and have it to the full".
  • 1 John 5:11-12: "God has given us eternal life, and this life is in his Son. Whoever has the Son has life; whoever does not have the Son of God does not have life".
  • Colossians 3:4: "When Christ, who is your life, appears, then you also will appear with him in glory".
  • Galatians 2:20: "I have been crucified with Christ and I no longer live, but Christ lives in me".

Being Born Again of the Spirit:

The primary Bible verse on being "born again" is John 3:3, where Jesus says: "Jesus replied, “Truly, truly, I tell you, no one can see the kingdom of God unless he is born again.”" This refers to a spiritual New Birth transformation through the Holy Spirit.

Key "Born Again" Verses:

  • John 3:5: "Jesus answered, 'Truly, truly, I say to you, unless one is born of water and the Spirit, he cannot enter the kingdom of God'".
  • 1 Peter 1:3: "...he has caused us to be born again to a living hope through the resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead".
  • 2 Corinthians 5:17: "Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation. The old has passed away; behold, the new has come."
  • 1 John 5:1: "Everyone who believes that Jesus is the Christ has been born of God..."

The Gospel Message is One of Life in Him. We come to Jesus for Life. He took away ALL our sins at the cross, so that in Him we may have LIFE, HIS LIFE, His Eternal Life living in and through us.

2 Corinthians 5:

18 All this is from God, who reconciled us to Himself through Christ and gave us the ministry of reconciliation: 19 that God was reconciling the world to Himself in Christ, not counting men’s trespasses (sins) against them. And He has committed to us the message of reconciliation.

20 Therefore we are ambassadors for Christ, as though God were making His appeal through us. We implore you on behalf of Christ: Be reconciled (believe, place Faith in Truth) to God. 21 God made Him who knew no sin to be sin on our behalf, so that in Him we might become the righteousness of God.

The Key Tenets of Biblical Confession

The core meaning of biblical confession is to agree with God, and is NOT to ask for forgiveness. This understanding is rooted in the Greek word for confession, homologeō, which literally means "to say the same thing as another" or "to assent."


Key Tenets of Biblical Confession

  • Agreement, Not Petition: Confession is an act of agreeing with God about a situation, primarily acknowledging the reality of one's sin and, more importantly, acknowledging the finished work of Jesus Christ on the cross.

  • Total Forgiveness: Because of Christ's sacrifice, forgiveness for all sins (past, present, and future) is a complete and established fact by God Himself. Asking for forgiveness is viewed as undermining the sufficiency of that single, finished work. We are to Thank Him for that forgiveness that was provided at the cross.

  • Interpretation of 1 John 1:9: The passage "If we confess our sins..." is not interpreted as a conditional if that must be met for God to grant forgiveness. Rather, based on the Greek grammatical structure, it speaks to whether or not a believer chooses to agree with the fact that God has already forgiven and cleansed them. The forgiveness is constant because God is faithful and just.

  • Logical and Scriptural Coherence: If confession (as most understand it) were a prerequisite for forgiveness, it would logically require one to remember every single sin, which is impossible. Scripturally, this view contradicts the New Covenant promise that God "will remember their sins and their lawless deeds no more" (Hebrews 10:17).

  • The Nature of Agreement: For a believer, true confession is agreeing with God that:

    1. They have sinned.

    2. Jesus paid the complete price for that sin.

    3. They are completely forgiven and righteous in Christ.

Confession is Scriptures Means Agree With God

Beware of One Point Calvinist Reformed Teachers



It's the "one point" of Calvinism that rears its ugly head even with so called Grace teachers. In this case the one point preacher believes that a person faiths forgiveness. They won't say that, but by their fruits of what they teach that is what they are claiming to be the case. In essence God hasn't really forgiven a person at the cross unless a person believes it. So the preacher can not say to anyone "your sins are forgiven by God" because he does not know if a person truly believes it (and is saved with the Holy Spirit alive living in them giving them LIFE) or will believe forgiveness of sins in the future. There is no good news in that message of conditional forgiveness. It's a limited propitiation message; the old code name was "limited atonement" (which is what many preachers use the erroneous atonement statement for what Jesus did on the cross), which is the one main tenet of Calvinism. It is the "L" in the T.U.L.I.P. acronym for Calvinism, also known as Reformed teaching. In this view, Jesus did not die for the sins of the whole world, just for those that would believe (the elect in their minds). This is a false gospel. It is a fake gospel message.

Bottom line is, if Jesus did not die for "ALL" then no one could come to God the Father in the first place. The offer of Life Eternal to anyone that would believe is hollow and makes God out to be a liar.


JESUS DIED...
  1. For all (1st Timothy 2:6; Isaiah 53:6).
  2. For every man (Hebrews 2:9).
  3. For the world (John 3:16).
  4. For the sins of the whole world (1st John 2:2).
  5. For the ungodly (Romans 5:6).
  6. For false teachers (2nd Peter 2:1).
  7. For many (Matthew 20:28).
  8. For Israel (John 11:50-51).
  9. For the Church (Eph. 5:25).
  10. For "me" (Gal. 2:20).

For those that deny the completed forgiveness on the cross for all people, I have the following questions and thoughts for you to ponder.

Does "faithing" forgiveness cause God to go backwards and forgive you your sins on the cross? God's word says, "For without the shedding of blood there is no forgiveness of sins." (Hebrews 9:22)

Christ Jesus died for "sinners." Guess what, we were all sinners to begin with! So did God die for you while you were still a sinner or when you were a saint according to God's word? "But God demonstrates his own love for us in this: While we were still sinners, Christ died for us." Romans 5:8

If your pastor/teacher is a one point Calvinist or doesn't believe that Jesus forgave everyone their sins on the cross, then they are preaching a weak gospel and not preaching the Gospel of Christ. And as far as the message of the cross is concerned for you, if Jesus did not forgive everyone, then how can you be sure you are included in the ones that Jesus did forgive on the cross? Is it your faith in your faith that saves you, or is it the Grace of God, through faith in completed forgiveness on the cross that saves a person? Have you really worked out your salvation if you can not answer the question? I plead with you, work out your salvation today. Understand what you believe and who you place faith in. Do not place faith in your own belief system or in your own understanding, but on the word of God.

"Therefore, my dear friends, as you have always obeyed—not only in my presence, but now much more in my absence—continue to work out your salvation with fear and trembling, for it is God who works in you to will and to act in order to fulfill his good purpose." Philippians 2:12,13

JESUS is the Name of God!


JESUS is the Name of God!

Anyone can pray to God. Anyone can talk about a Father in Heaven. Anyone can talk about the Good Lord. Anyone can speak of the Good Man upstairs and point to heaven. But mention the name of JESUS God in the flesh, JESUS Lord of lords, JESUS King of kings, JESUS The only Righteous One, JESUS The Savior of the World, JESUS The Prince of Peace, and watch so many people stumble over JESUS The Stumbling Stone. People choke on the word JESUS, for they are still focused on themselves. For, JESUS is His name, above all other names. Place faith in JESUS, the One that took away all your sins on the cross, not in your own idea of god or any false misconceptions of you thinking God is somehow pleased with your performance (as though you a hypocrite - an actor pretending you are good in your heart). For God knows your heart and is laid bare for Him to see. Only by faith in JESUS is a person declared righteous before GOD.

"What then shall we say? That the Gentiles, who did not pursue righteousness, have obtained it, a righteousness that is by faith; but the people of Israel, who pursued the law as the way of righteousness, have not attained their goal. Why not? Because they pursued it not by faith but as if it were by works. They stumbled over the stumbling stone. As it is written:"

“See, I lay in Zion a stone that causes people to stumble
and a rock that makes them fall,
and the one who believes in him will never be put to shame.” Romans 9:30-33

JESUS is the Rock of my Salvation!

Jesus is "I AM"


Jesus is God in the flesh. Jesus is "I AM"


So many people place the emphasis on their faith in their own belief, instead of in Jesus himself and who he is, and the faithfulness of God and what He did on the cross.

For example, many wrongly believe that if they ask for forgiveness from God, God will forgive them, instead of believing (agreei
ng) 
that God already forgave them on the cross for all of their sins (ALL sins - past, present and future sins) nearly 2000 years ago. For we know, "without the shedding of blood there is no forgiveness." Hebrews 9:22 The first example is the person believing in their belief system. Whereas the person that is trusting in God to have done the work is placing faith in Jesus and what Jesus did on the cross for them.

"But to him that worketh not, but believeth on him that justifieth the ungodly, his faith is counted for righteousness." Romans 4:5

Worthy is Jesus

"Saying with a loud voice, Worthy is the Lamb that was slain to receive power, and riches, and wisdom, and strength, and honour, and glory, and blessing." Revelation 5:12

Jesus is "I AM"

"Jesus said unto them, Truly, truly, I say unto you, Before Abraham was, I AM."

---

The Judaean leaders knew Jesus was claiming to be God and that Jesus had existed before Abraham was even born. They also knew the story of Moses and how God spoke with Moses on the mountain. What God said to Moses is recorded for us in Exodus 3:14.

And God said unto Moses, "I AM THAT I AM: and he said, Thus shalt thou say unto the children of Israel, I AM hath sent me unto you."

Introductions to Jesus

Introductions to Jesus

God is the instigator of Grace.

We are simply the vessel(s), the instrument(s), the messenger(s) that God uses to share the Grace of Jesus with the world.

Grace does not always sit right with lost unrighteous people with their responses to the message. There are typically three responses from lost people, to the sharing of the message of Jesus with these people to begin with.

  • Indifference
  • Anger
  • Thankfulness
The person who doesn't believe in God at all will typically respond with an outward attitude of indifference. Don't bother me with Jesus, I don't believe in him, or I don't even believe in God to begin with, is their typical attitude in life and things of God. Yet God is revealed in nature in so many ways; and for those that say they do not believe in God, the bible refers to them as fools, yet they are without excuse.

"The fool hath said in his heart, There is no God. They are corrupt, they have done abominable works, there is none that doeth good." Psalm 14:1
"For since the creation of the world God’s invisible qualities—his eternal power and divine nature—have been clearly seen, being understood from what has been made, so that people are without excuse." Romans 1:20 

The person that gets angry at grace are the religionists and legalists. They don't want to hear that their self-works, or their church attendance, or their religion, or their traditions will not gain them eternal life. They are proud of their own self-efforts to please God. They don't want to hear that all their sins have been forgiven on the cross and there is no more sacrifice for their sins. This is why when you share the gospel message with self-righteous folks they will justify themselves for their self efforts and make a mockery of the cross by their confession booth attendance or misinterpretation of 1 John 1:9 and using it as a forgiveness vending machine from God. Be forewarned, just as Jesus was despised and hated by the Pharisees, the teachers of the Law, and the world in general during the time Jesus walked on earth, we too, will feel the wrath of those that despise the message of the Grace of Jesus, our Lord and Saviour.

"But he giveth more grace. Wherefore he saith, God resisteth the proud, but giveth grace unto the humble." James 4:6
“If the world hates you, keep in mind that it hated me first. If you belonged to the world, it would love you as its own. As it is, you do not belong to the world, but I have chosen you out of the world. That is why the world hates you. Remember what I told you: ‘A servant is not greater than his master.’ If they persecuted me, they will persecute you also. If they obeyed my teaching, they will obey yours also. They will treat you this way because of my name, for they do not know the one who sent me. If I had not come and spoken to them, they would not be guilty of sin; but now they have no excuse for their sin. Whoever hates me hates my Father as well. If I had not done among them the works no one else did, they would not be guilty of sin. As it is, they have seen, and yet they have hated both me and my Father. But this is to fulfill what is written in their Law: ‘They hated me without reason.’ John 15:18-25 

The third response to grace is total thankfulness to God. When one hears that God is not counting your sins against you, the person that receives this message can not help but to say. "Thank You!" to GOD. [2 Corinthians 5:19] For, that is the only response that is acceptable to God. Our response to His drawing us to Himself, is thanksgiving in your heart for what Jesus, God in the flesh has done for you. This is true confession (agreeing with God), and responding with an attitude of gratitude of the heart. Thanksgiving to God is a sign of faith in God. For without faith it is impossible to please God!

"And I thank Christ Jesus our Lord, who hath enabled me, for that he counted me faithful, putting me into the ministry;" 1 Timothy 1:12
"But without faith it is impossible to please him: for he that cometh to God must believe that he is, and that he is a rewarder of them that diligently seek him." Hebrews 11:6

God is drawing you to himself. Which person are you?
Jesus said, "And I, when I am lifted up from the earth, will draw all people to myself." John 12:32
Are you going to respond with indifference, anger or thanksgiving in your heart?

I implore you, listen to God's calling today and respond by faith.
As it says, "Oh, that today you would listen as he speaks! Do not harden your hearts..." Hebrews 3:15

God is Not a Forgiveness Vending Machine


Some people place an emphasis on the receiving of forgiveness for themselves by God, like they have to go out of their way to receive it, or do something to get it. However, the receiving of forgiveness is a matter of fact, that whoever believes in Jesus does indeed accept "receive" forgiveness (believes it was done and finished on the cross by God) for themselves. No one pushes God's buttons and out plops forgiveness for sins. God is not a vending machine of forgiveness. If forgiveness was not taken care of for all, then no one could come to the Father by faith. There are many that would claim that Jesus only died for those that were to believe. But, how would you know if you really believed, if Jesus did not die for the sins of the whole world? In essence, how would one know that Jesus died for them too, if that wasn't true?

Asking for forgiveness from God is a denial of the forgiveness that God gave to the world to begin with. For the very act of asking is saying to God, "I am asking you to forgive me now." This person doesn't really believe their sins were forgiven on the cross, because they place the emphasis on their asking or their own "believing the process of asking" or "believing the process of believing" forgiveness (that that somehow causes God to forgive them, even though many know in their hearts, that "without the shedding of blood there is no forgiveness").

However, God forgave the sins of the whole world on the cross, so that whoever believes in Him has eternal life. Eternal life could not be given before sins were taken care of. For sin had to be taken away before eternal life could be given to the believer, otherwise when a person were to sin, the Holy Spirit would depart.

It is not how much a person believes, but what a person places faith on. Do they place faith on Jesus, the one who took away all their sins on the cross? Or, do they place faith on their own belief system (of asking for or believing in their own believing)? It's a subtle thing that needs to be delved into for everyone. Even some grace teachers do not believe that the sins of the whole world were forgiven on the cross. They can not say to anyone, "your sins have been forgiven on the cross," for they do not know if a person's sins were forgiven or not. All they can do is say, "believe your sins were forgiven on the cross." But, what they won't tell a person is, if you do not believe it, then God did not forgive you, though they will not even imply that either, because they would say a person can believe until they die, then they would know that God forgave them on the cross.

One way is declaring that God forgave the sins of the whole world and placed the emphasis on God. The other way, man places the emphasis on believing, and it is the very act of believing that somehow goes back to the cross that Jesus forgave them. One is a Strong gospel message. The other is a weak man made message of belief.

This is so important for all people to get right and "work out" their understanding of salvation and how forgiveness was taken care of "once for all sins" on the cross. [ref. Philippians 2:12 and 1 Peter 3:18] The righteous just (Jesus) for the unrighteous unjust (includes all of us).

Well, some might ask, "What About 1 John 1:9?" So, let us reason together.

There is No Quid Pro Quo With God



"For Christ did not enter a sanctuary made with human hands that was only a copy of the true one; he entered heaven itself, now to appear for us in God’s presence. Nor did he enter heaven to offer himself again and again, the way the high priest enters the Most Holy Place every year with blood that is not his own. Otherwise Christ would have had to suffer many times since the creation of the world. But he has appeared once for all at the culmination of the ages to do away with sin by the sacrifice of himself. Just as people are destined to die once, and after that to face judgment, so Christ was sacrificed once to take away the sins of many; and he will appear a second time, not to bear sin, but to bring salvation to those who are waiting for him." Hebrews 9:24-28

Jesus died once, for all sins. He does not offer himself over and over again, as some think he does. We should not be placing Jesus back on the cross ourselves, nor should we be asking him to do what he has already done. Jesus did not offer himself on the cross in expectation that we could give something back to him. He offered himself while we were yet sinners. He demonstrated his love for us by forgiving us our sins on the cross. When Jesus returned, he did not deal with sins again on the cross.

"Thank you Jesus" is the only response that makes sense from our standpoint. This is faith in Jesus, God in the flesh, who sacrificed himself for our sins.

Break Free of Your Chain Masters!

Break Free of Your Chain Masters

Time to Break Free of Your Chain Masters


It is time for all grace believers to stand up to their chain masters (declaring themselves free) and stand up for what is RIGHT (The New Covenant). If the chain masters are not teaching the New only, then tell it like it is. Do it in LOVE (led by the Holy Spirit) but do it. Do not let yourself be silenced. Let God do the work of the ministry, and allow the Holy Spirit to be used by you. This is our TRUE Spiritual worship!

If you are in Christ, you are Holy already! Shout it from the rooftops. You are set apart by faith in Jesus! So:

"Therefore, I urge you, brothers and sisters, in view of God's mercy, to offer your bodies as a living sacrifice, holy and pleasing to God--this is your true and proper worship." Romans 12:1

And, I would add what a friend has said about Real love:
“Amen, James! We must get bold and speak the truth in love! Real love doesn't concern itself with what others think of us. It concerns itself with giving them truth!” Robin Fondurulia
Break free of religion. Break free of your chain masters today! Jesus is the way, the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father except through Jesus, God in the flesh, who took away all your sins on the cross. Believe it!

Risky Business

Risky Business
Faith Expressing Itself in Love
For to share any one of these truth's of Jesus is to share the love of God with others. To be quite is not faith expressing itself in love. To not share truth in life's circumstances is to keep people from hearing the true gospel. Share whenever the Spirit prompts each of us. In season or out of season (2 Timothy 4:2). Do not worry how the chips may fall in relationships, because eternity is so much more important for them to know truth, and some may come to saving faith in Jesus.

Good Works - What Are They?

Works in the Bible are not what we typically think they are.

How many times have we heard that the Christian must do works to show they are saved? The subject of "works" as presented in the Bible is not what most people think they are. First off, a believer in Christ can not "produce" any good works in of themselves.

Now, let us talk about what good "works" really are as it relates to the Bible. The whole Christian world (that is all the religious folks), and even many of us that believe in total Grace have been brainwashed into thinking good works are something they are not. First off, Jesus explained what the "work" of God is and is a key foundational starting point. Jesus answered, "The work of God is this: to believe in the one he has sent." (John 6:29) By the way, the word work here in John 6:29 of Scripture as defined in the Greek language is really like a job function (meaning: business or employment) here. Obviously we could discuss the verses before and after this one, but I really want to delve into more areas of works as presented in the Bible.

So, let's really move on to the verse that worker bees say must be done by folks in order to show "proof" they are saved and really look at the context of a particular verse in the Bible. Before we look at the context, think how many times this following verse is quoted without any context whatsoever.

"Faith Without Works Is Dead" By the way, that really isn't the actual verse in the Bible, even though we hear it this way all the time. That is an added heading in the Book of James 2:14-26 section which is not found in the original language for this actual verse of Scripture:

James 2:17 KJV
"Even so faith, if it hath not works, is dead, being alone."

James 2:17 NIV
"In the same way, faith by itself, if it is not accompanied by action, is dead."

Now the context of this is explained previously, that if someone (not any someone but a brother or sister - is more than likely referring to that of the Israelite brethren, because this was written to Israelites that were coming out of the Mosaic law) is naked and destitute of daily food, and the person that sees this person simply gives them a lip service blessing without helping them, then how in the world is that type of faith going to save the other person? That is no work at all. The so called “faith” itself is dead indeed. It is important to understand the entire context of the book of James, in that the early Israelite believers of the first century were being shunned and kicked out of their jobs for helping their fellow Christians. That was why this book was written the way it is written, to the Israelite believers. "James, a servant of God and of the Lord Jesus Christ, to the twelve tribes [Israelites] which are scattered abroad, greeting." (James 1:1) These early Israelites that declared they were believers in Christ Jesus had a lot on the line. They were in fear of going homeless themselves and losing everything. Most folks today do not appreciate the gravity of the situation. We don’t really experience that same persecution here in America or most of the western world. However, Christians within other countries certainly do face all types of trials and persecutions, even unto death, but not typically anywhere in America does that happen.

Now we really get to the crux of the matter. The works examples in the book of James are not considered good works from most people’s understanding.

An example was of Rahab the Harlot hiding the Israelite spies, helping them escape and even lying to the government officials of Jericho about where the spies went. Then we see the city was destroyed by God. No matter how you mix it, what Rahab did would not seem to be a “work” of righteousness from the standpoint of religionists and the world. Obviously Rahab believed God and she did the right thing as it pertains to God, but it would certainly have been the wrong thing from the standpoint of “obeying your government” or “don’t tell any lies” which by the way is a breaking of one of the Commandments of God too. Read the entire story of Rahab in the book of Joshua, chapter #2.

Another example was of Abraham, who believed God when he was going to go through with sacrificing his only son when God asked him to. Abraham believed God and it was credited to him as righteousness that God would raise his one and only son from the dead. From the outside world, most would say, how awful God was to even suggest that. But, Abraham listened and obeyed God at every step of the way, even when God said “don’t kill your son,” Abraham obeyed. Read this entire story of Abraham in Genesis, chapter #22.

My point in all of this is, works are doing the right thing as it pertains to God in life's circumstances, in spite of the consequences that we might face from others in response to an action. Works are not something we go out of our way to do during the Christmas and Thanksgiving seasons of helping out at the local food banks, but as the circumstances of life come upon us, there will be periods of testing our faith. For example, there will likely come a time, when we will be confronted with error, and we can either be quiet, or speak, the "WORK" of God, and do the right thing by representing God the right way at that moment in time in spite of where the chips may fall. Religion today has run rampant over lives, has beat people down and placed heavy burdens on them. For those of us that have the Holy Spirit alive living in us, we need to consider carefully, are we willing to allow God do the work in and through us and do the right thing? We may not have to hide spies in our country (yet), but we should be available for his work through and in us to say and do the right thing (even if it means we may lose our so called friends). I continue to pray that He would do that through me.

As far as works and doing the right thing, I am referring to this as in a response to God. Doing the right thing from a human perspective may actually be a sin from God's perspective, if the motive was a human perspective to do work of, puffing ourselves up for ourselves or even pride of ourselves (making ourselves feel good), or for others (to show the good works a person is doing toward others) or for showing off to God are prime examples of doing the right thing for the wrong reason; pride. These actions would be sin in the eyes of God.

The issue of performance works comes from the world of religion, the lost and the proud. They read the verses in Scripture and say, "see, God has destined us for good works" (Ephesians 2:10) or "faith without works is dead" (James). So with the proud, they will go out in the energy of their flesh (because that is all anyone has if a person is not saved and does not have the Holy Spirit living in them) and will attempt to do good works. In these folks, good works are occurring whenever they think they are doing some good deed based on their own understanding of good and evil. They even think "their" good works cancels out their bad works and that God is so pleased with them when they do "their" good works.

Jesus warned false prophets:

"Many will say to me on that day, ‘Lord, Lord, did we not prophesy in your name and in your name drive out demons and in your name perform many miracles?’ Then I will tell them plainly, ‘I never knew you. Away from me, you evildoers!’" Matthew 7: 22,23

Let's look in more detail at the following verses: James 2:14-17

Consider the following points. The Bible was written with NO punctuation, and had no capitalization to begin with in the original written text. https://goo.gl/CVNW6f  ("The original languages of the Scriptures had no punctuation, things such as commas, periods, semi-colons, etc.")

So, with that in mind, let's look at the book of James and the key chapter and paragraph as it is written in the KJV. I'm using the KJV here to simply show a clear picture, because I think many of the modern translation versions are somewhat skewed toward trying to show justification by works. I don't believe this is justification at all in this section. I think the verses are simply saying it doesn't help the folks that need to be helped. Let's look again at it in context:

What doth it profit, my brethren, though a man say he hath faith, and have not works? can faith save him? If a brother or sister be naked, and destitute of daily food, And one of you say unto them, Depart in peace, be ye warmed and filled; notwithstanding ye give them not those things which are needful to the body; what doth it profit? Even so faith, if it hath not works, is dead, being alone.


I​'m not sure that the verse numbers and the question marks, periods and sentence breaks are in the correct places.

So, let's read it another way and change the punctuation (no word changes have been made, just the punctuation has been slightly changed):
​What doth it profit, my brethren, though a man say he hath faith, and have not works?

​Can faith save him​ ​​if a brother or sister be naked, and destitute of daily food, ​and one of you say unto them, ​"​Depart in peace, be ye warmed and filled;​"​ notwithstanding ye give them not those things which are needful to the body; what doth it profit?

Even so faith, if it hath not works, is dead, being alone.

​Faith here was dead and useless for the brother or sister that was naked and destitute. Simply saying to these folks "depart in peace" was a type of blessing. What good did that blessing do for them?

My Answer: Nothing.

We can see that this way the meaning of the works/faith equation being used as an example in showing that the faith of certain individuals that simply offered a blessing to the others did not save the people that needed food and shelter. The faith that was displayed by lip service was useless to those that needed help in their time of need.


So, what are works today?

From what I have witnessed first hand, the Christian church has no clue what a work of God really is today. Even if we were to take James' writings, of how he used Abraham and Rahab as examples of works, it is not in the context of what most think works would be or to be performed today. One was told to kill his only son by God and the other lied to government authorities and committed treason by helping the spies based on a snapshot in time of each of those individual's understanding of God and what God was doing in their own lives. Most folks that are lost (and I suspect even many of those that are saved) don't have a clue about these works, actually being works of faith are in the first place. Most Bible teachers do not really dive into the aspects of what constitutes being a work in the examples given in Scripture.

Paul on the other hand does talk about faith expressing itself through Love. Galatians 5:6

If we were to extrapolate out the works ideas being taught by James, and let's just say for example that the work would actually be belief [which should not be a novel idea] as presented by Jesus (see: John 6:29) and further talked about by Paul in his writings, then the idea would be that faith would express itself in Love and what Jesus did on the cross for the person that believes. What I mean by that is that a person that believes Jesus forgave them of their sins would ultimately come to the realization that there was no more sacrifice for sins required. Their sins have been completely forgiven on the cross. Would not this be the work of Love in their lives? Would not this work of Love also be manifest in sharing that Love with others? Obviously that Love is not the person doing the work, but the Holy Spirit doing the work in and through people. When we have a heartfelt Love for others (not wanting them to perish - just as God does not want that either), do we not have the same mind as God? In essence, did he not give us a new heart that is indwelt by the Holy Spirit to perform the work of Love to others? Is not God's Love an active Love based to begin with because of his love for us, when Jesus was sacrificed on the cross for us? Is not his love flowing through believers an active love today? Is not this the work of Love?

Even in the book of Hebrews, in the Faith chapter, we see faith actions based on happenings at certain points in time with the heroes of the faith:

Hebrews 11

In essence each of the people mentioned in the faith chapter did something in response to faith and in response to God's work in their lives. Some even died for their faith.

So, that brings me back to today. If a person hears that their sins are forgiven, they say they believe it, yet they keep going back to the confession booth of constantly asking for forgiveness of their sins from God (either, as a virtual confession booth for the Protestant or actual confession booth as in a Catholic to a priest), then how good is their faith? They have a dead useless faith as far as I am concerned. God is looking at whether they believed or not, but their faith isn't flowing with any Love through them toward others.

What kind of faith is it to say to someone clean up their sins (repent of all of their sins) before God will forgive them of their sins? What kind of faith is it to say to others that Jesus forgave you of all of your sins, past, present and future; now ask God to forgive you of your sins again? What kind of faith is it to say one believes Jesus forgave them of their sins and then continue on in the Catholic church for salvation, and following all the rules and regulations of the CC. What kind of faith is it to say Jesus gives you eternal life when you believe, yet he will take it away if you don't perform? What kind of faith is it to preach that a person is saved when they believe in Jesus, yet they are not really saved unless they have these undefined works that are all over the board in their own minds? All of this will have an appearance of goodness but will be lacking in any usefulness; which is "having a form of godliness but denying its power." 2 Timothy 3:5

My point is, most that teach works today are not teaching the work of Love of Jesus toward others. These same folks that teach some form of works for salvation, or works for being sustained in salvation, are teaching the lie of the devil. They are teaching a dead useless faith. This is not an active faith of Love at all. These same folks can not even tell you what works they must do to be saved (see: Acts 16:30). They stumble over Jesus and do not exercise faith in Him (see: Romans 9:32). They place more faith in themselves and what they are doing than they do in God's finished work on the cross.

So, what is the work of Love?

Jesus did say, "Very truly I tell you, whoever believes in me will do the works I have been doing, and they will do even greater things than these, because I am going to the Father." John 14:12

The works of Love of Jesus, is in and through the believer, to share the good news of Jesus, the ETERNAL LIFE giver, to everyone who believes. What greater work could there be?

Confessors vs. Possessors of Forgiveness From God

Many people are simple human confessors for forgiveness from God, instead of possessors of divine forgiveness from God.

"In him we have redemption through his blood, the forgiveness of sins, in accordance with the riches of God's grace" (Ephesians 1:7) New International Version (©2011)

"He is so rich in kindness and grace that he purchased our freedom with the blood of his Son and forgave our sins." (Ephesians 1:7) New Living Translation (©2007)

But, some of you reading this may ask the question or hear the question being asked by others, "what about confess in 1 John 1:9 and the Lord's Prayer given by Jesus?" Before we go there again, (and you can read about those items in great detail from the links), what are you going to say to God in your prayers on a daily basis? Are you going to continue to ask Him for what He has already done? Or, are you going to place faith in what He has done for you in His finished work on the cross?

Are you a simple confessor of Jesus, giving lip service to what Jesus has done; or are you a possessor of the Holy Spirit, alive living in you, never to leave you, never to forsake you, never to stop loving you, never to get out of fellowship with you, no matter what you do or don't do?

Some will say that there are a couple of different types of forgiveness. They will say, "I know my sins were forgiven on the cross judicially," (also known as positional forgiveness) and here comes the big "BUT" out of their mouths, "but I have to ask God for forgiveness to experience it in my life when I sin, (this is experiential forgiveness) - after all, take a look at what Jesus told us to do in the Lord's prayer, and look at 1 John 1:9."

When Were Your Sins Forgiven?

Let us reason together...(Isaiah 1:18) First off, can you really talk to God out of both sides of your mouth, and have it be truth? Can you really imagine going to God on a daily basis and thank him for what he has done for you on the cross, and then in the very next breath ask for forgiveness from God? This is exactly what some folks are doing everyday in their prayer life, and sometimes multiple times during the day. Which is it, do you believe God forgave you, or do you need more forgiveness today from God? What about all the sins you forget to confess? What happens with those sins that you forget to confess under the banner of experiential forgiveness?

Confess Means to Agree With God - Not ask for Forgiveness

For many folks, the word "confess" is synonymous to asking for forgiveness from God. Catholics will tell you that they go to the priest, in a confession booth, and ask for forgiveness. Protestants will tell you that they don't have to go to a priest at all to confess their sins, they go directly to God, confessing their sins to Him, to get their sins forgiven.

God on the other hand has declared, "It is Finished!" Forgiveness has been finalized. Forgiveness is completed. Forgiveness is eternal. Forgiveness is total. Forgiveness is found in the person of Jesus. A person receives complete forgiveness of sins when they receive Him. A person does not get forgiveness of sins over and over again as they did in the old covenant. This is exactly what Protestants and Catholics are doing. Catholics are sacrificing God everyday in the Mass. Protestants are sacrificing Jesus everyday in their minds, asking God to do what He has already done. Neither the Catholics nor the Protestants recognize that Jesus took away all their sins on the cross. They are in unbelief that God did it all, and they think there needs to be something from man to extract (appropriate) the forgiveness from God.

What Does a Person Truly Believe?

The following question comes to my mind. Does a person really believe in completed forgiveness on the cross, if they believe God did it judicially, yet they turn around and say they need to ask for it experientially? For anyone that is sitting on this mode of forgiveness, it is difficult to tell really what they believe in their own minds, and how they are praying to God at each moment in time. Do they thank God for His forgiveness to begin with in a judicial mode, and then turn around and ask for forgiveness in an experiential mode? Which does a person really believe and when? This type of behavior is indicative of a double-minded person, unstable in all things (James 1:8), no matter who it is. This type of sinful behavior can be seen in pastors, teachers, and laity. Anyone in this mode, it is like pulling teeth for them to look closer at the Word of God. They are resting in their traditions, in their religious systems, and their own understandings.

Is God Waiting for Man to Ask For Forgiveness Before God Forgives?

Pastors and teachers are pulling people away from Jesus (with a watered down gospel) as much as the cults are pulling people away from Christ. These pastors and teachers will have this wonderful sermon on Grace, and tell the people of how Jesus took away all sin on the cross, and then at the end will say something completely opposite like, "God forgive me for the bad things we have done in life." Which is it? Did God take away all sins on the cross, or is there more forgiveness required by God? Their idea of forgiveness is not that Christ completed the work at the cross, but that forgiveness is now a joint works action between God and man. They will say this is how we forgive others, so God must forgive like human forgiveness. Are we now to think that God's divine forgiveness is like man's forgiveness? May it never be so!

People living like this think they only need God 10% of the time. The other 90% of the time they think they are basically good. "Watch me God, look how good I am, - and I ask for forgiveness for the times I am not good" is what a person is indirectly saying to God, living in a mode of confessionalism for forgiveness instead of living by faith in what He has done for them. In essence, most folks don't believe their sins are completely forgiven. They need a little soapy scrubbing cleaning action now and then to get themselves presentable to God. They have exchanged the truth of God for a lie, and gotten caught in the sin that so easily entangles.

Putting Faith Into Practice

Put an end to your confessionalism for forgiveness, and agree with God (confess) that he took your sins away on the cross for all time, for all sins. He is the faithful one to have forgiven you and to have cleansed you for all time of all unrighteousness. Confess it. Agree with God concerning it. Put it to rest. Walk by faith that He has done it all.

If Jesus is God in the flesh (and He is - John 1:14), and Jesus prayed from the cross to the Father and said, "Father forgive them for they know what they do" (which He did say - Luke 23:34), do you think that prayer was answered by God?

Isaiah 1:18

"Come now, and let us reason together, saith the Lord: though your sins be as scarlet, they shall be as white as snow; though they be red like crimson, they shall be as wool. "

Jesus asked, "Who do you say I AM?"


Was Jesus a liar? Was he a lunatic? Is he God?

Who do you say Jesus is?

Matthew 16:13-20
When Jesus came into the coasts of Caesarea Philippi, he asked his disciples, saying, Whom do men say that I the Son of man am?

And they said, Some say that thou art John the Baptist: some, Elias; and others, Jeremias, or one of the prophets.

He saith unto them, But whom say ye that I am?

And Simon Peter answered and said, Thou art the Christ, the Son of the living God.

And Jesus answered and said unto him, Blessed art thou, Simon Barjona: for flesh and blood hath not revealed it unto thee, but my Father which is in heaven.

And I say also unto thee, That thou art Peter, and upon this rock I will build my church; and the gates of hell shall not prevail against it.

And I will give unto thee the keys of the kingdom of heaven: and whatsoever thou shalt bind on earth shall be bound in heaven: and whatsoever thou shalt loose on earth shall be loosed in heaven.

Then charged he his disciples that they should tell no man that he was Jesus the Christ.

Books Recommened

Bob George, bestselling author of Classic Christianity, shows readers how grace changes everything because of one often-ignored foundation of the faith—the New Covenant.

Jesus Changes Everything

It’s Time to Embrace God’s Unconditional Love

Bob George

Many Christians feel anything but new. They are told salvation is a free gift, but trying to live up to what they think God demands seems like anything but a gift. Feel free? They don’t. Bob explains how this results from basing Christianity in the Old Testament—making the faith a law-based religion.

But the New Covenant, God has put in place through Christ’s death, changes everything. Readers will see the joyful truth that,
  • effort, guilt, and fear from living under law give way to rest and peace from realizing their relationship with God doesn’t depend on their performance;
  • motivation by punishment is replaced by inner motivation through God’s complete acceptance;
  • and the experience of distance from God gives way to the experience of His unconditional love.

Complete in Christ

Bob George

Why do so many people experience disappointment and failure in their lives? Why do so many men and women struggle with a sense of low self-esteem? Could it be they’re unsure of how to obtain true fulfillment in life?

God never meant to offer us a self-improvement course. Instead, He offers us an entirely new identity. Not only will He forgive your sins, but He will give you a new life in exchange for the life you have been trying to live in your own strength.

In Complete in Christ, Bob George, author of the bestseller Classic Christianity, explores this exchanged life and provides clear meaning for often-misunderstood truths—fundamental truths that ensure abundant, fulfilled living.

Begin to focus not on your own failures and inadequacies but on His view of you—that you are fully loved and accepted in Christ. Receive God’s invitation to exchange your old identity for the joy of being Complete in Christ!
