Oh, the terrible plight of Jealousy in the sin cursed self! Proverbs 27:4

Oh, the terrible plight of Jealousy in the sin cursed self!
Proverbs 27:4
    4 Wrath is cruel, anger is overwhelming, but who can stand before jealousy?

Jealousy arises as another principle to the sin cursed self. The ultimate expression of jealousy is to see that God's hand of favor is no longer resting and abiding on you, but that His hand of favor is resting on those who rest in His beloved Son, whom His favor exclusively rests. A persons jealousy arises when they see their efforts, riches and merits of their own good works is not acceptable in God's eyes and never enough to please God, but always fall short of pleasing God. Jealousy, like Cain's, who killed his brother Abel, arose in Cain, because God accepted Abel's sacrifice over Cain's, and Cain saw God's favor rest upon Abel, so Cain killed his brother. The Jealousy factor arises in us when we see that our trust and confidence in our sin cursed self does not merit God's favor, but rather is a great cause for God's disfavor and judgment and rejection. Jealousy arises when God's favor rests on those who places confidence in Jesus Christ for whom God the Father's favor rests. Hence, You become jealous because God has rejected you in the confidence of your flesh, and points you to believe on His son for whom His favor rests, and you refuse to do so, because of your self-righteous pride; hence, like the self-righteous scribes and Pharisees you reject Jesus Christ and crucify the Lord of glory for whom God the Father's favor subsides and rests.

Hinder not the "Lo, I am with you always."by complacent indifference! Matthew 28:20

Hinder not the "Lo, I am with you always."by complacent indifference!
Matthew 28:20
The Lord delights to be with us every day while we are going about our day. However, do we earnestly desire to be with Jesus every day! Does our complacent indifference to His presence draw him away from us and out the door? Do we hinder Him from coming to us, because we are ever so steeped in our present concerns? Once your will set free, by His quickening Saving Grace, always open the door to His knocking Grace, hinder not His entrance and fellowshipping with you and feast with Him in His broken body and shed Blood! As He first welcomed you into His presence through His Blood, Now! Welcome, Him in your afflictions, sufferings, concerns, needs and chase away careless indifference to your need for Him to be with you, but earnestly desire to be in His presence everyday, by means of prayer and meditation, for there is no better place to be, but to be with Him where He is seated in the Heavenly Realm, by His throne of Grace, for there is no other place incomparable and exclusively, but to be there where He is, "Lo, with you always," is a far better cry to be with Him as He is with you, rather than being with the dwellers of darkness, corruption and death, rather than having the dominion of sin's control ruling your heart away from Him, there is no other place to be but be with Him, rather than complacent indifference of sluggardly resting in front of the light of the mesmerizing and hypnotizing TV, media, and darkness of social gatherings that have no place for Jesus to be, no place in the Inn for Jesus, but go to that great place of Jesus with you always; where He once laid in the Manger, where He once spread His Arms on the Cross, where He once Laid in that Empty tomb, where He is seated now at the right Hand of God the Father, making intercession, indeed, for His Church, His precious Bride, and all His members therein, even me and you if you have believed on the Rock of your Salvation. As in the words of Charles Hadden Spurgeon, Evening:
"Remember his presence may be had. His promise is as true as ever. He delights to be with us. If he doth not come, it is because we hinder him by our indifference. He will reveal himself to our earnest prayers, and graciously suffer himself to be detained by our entreaties, and by our tears, for these are the golden chains which bind Jesus to his people."

There is never a darkness too dark or too thick that can ever prevent the Light of God's Love in His beloved Son, to break through and dispel the thick darkness! Isaiah 9:2-3:

There is never a darkness too dark or too thick that can ever prevent the Light of God's Love in His beloved Son, to break through and dispel the thick darkness!
Isaiah 9:2-3:
2The people who walk in darkness Will see a great light; Those who live in a dark land, The light will shine on them. 3You shall multiply the nation, You shall increase their gladness; They will be glad in Your presence As with the gladness of harvest, As men rejoice when they divide the spoil.…

Bethlehem was cold and full of thick darkness and sin. The Manger was cold and full of darkness, until the beloved Son of God, in His incarnation pitched His trough like bassinet in it, and was laid in the that cold dark place by His mother, Mary, at His Birth; and how bright the light of His glorious presence that dispelled the darkness! And how warm His glorious presence that melted the coldness of the manger taking out of it the chill of the darkness of that place by His glory!

Bethlehem full of darkness, the Manger cold and dark; notwithstanding, that did not stop or prevent, or hinder the Light of God's Love in His Beloved Son, to enter in to invade and break through the darkness with the light of His presence in His Beloved Son, to dispel the darkness and warm that place with His glory!

There is no darkness or power in heaven and on earth that can ever prevent or hinder the light of God' s presence and glory to break through the darkness of sin, corruption and death, for it is powerless to His invasion, for in the fullness of time God broke through the darkness in His beloved Son. And in the fullness of time of your calling, God will break through the darkness of sin, corruption, coldness and death of your heart and quicken you to new life in Christ through Regeneration of the Holy Spirit, and there is no power, no darkness too dark, thick or cold, or corruption of death too dead that can prevent His break through of the light of His glorious presence and Resurrect your dead soul from the dead!

He still rend the heavens and invaded earth in His incarnastion in the fullness of times, despite no welcoming Fanfare on earth, but received the Fanfare of Angels at His Birth! Luke 2:13-15

He still rend the heavens and invaded earth in His incarnastion in the fullness of times, despite no welcoming Fanfare on earth, but received the Fanfare of Angels at His Birth!
Luke 2:13-15
13And suddenly there appeared with the angel a multitude of the heavenly host praising God and saying, 14"Glory to God in the highest, And on earth peace among men with whom He is pleased." 15When the angels had gone away from them into heaven, the shepherds began saying to one another, "Let us go straight to Bethlehem then, and see this thing that has happened which the Lord has made known to us."…

Even at His Birth, no welcoming fanfare of the multitudes, but was excluded from vacancy in an Inn, while His mother was sent to a manger to give birth, outside of, and away from the people in the Inn.

No Fanfare of Nations, Kings, Country's, or of the multitudes, but He had no need for fanfare for a permenant welcome, He came to those in darkness, blind to their own need from deliverance, hence, they were blind to their need to offer Him a welcoming fanfare. But the multitudes of the heavenly hosts and of Angels knew from whence He came, but appeared with great fanfare welcoming and announcing His birth, of Him, who rend the heavens and left His heavenly glory while He laid in the Manger at His birth.

He came to those in need, in darkness, in the grips of bondage to sin and death, not to seek need from them for a welcoming fanfare. For God in His infinite mercy and Grace gave His only Begotten Son, while we were yet sinners and we did not care to be saved. For that was the work God the Father gave His Son to accomplish, Redemption in His Blood!

No welcoming reception, because of deep darkness and blindness to a great need for deliverance from sin and separation from God, ever so preoccupied and complacent by their present life distracted them from their need for deliverance from eternal perdition.
He came in disregard to no welcoming fanfare, He came as a light in the midst of great thick darkness of sin, death and corruption! He came because He saw our need for de!iverence, when we were blind to our own need. He came in that while we were yet sinners Christ died for the ungodly!

Synergism ignores the person and work of the Holy Spirit, because it is a dead belief system! Once dead, always dead, how can you boast in death! Titus 3:4-7

Synergism ignores the person and work of the Holy Spirit, because it is a dead belief system! Once dead, always dead, how can you boast in death!

Titus 3:4-7
4But when the goodness and loving kindness of God our Savior appeared, 5 he saved us, not because of works done by us in righteousness, but according to his own mercy, by the washing of regeneration and renewal of the Holy Spirit, 6whom he poured out on us richly through Jesus Christ our Savior, 7so that being justified by his grace we might become heirs according to the hope of eternal life.
How can you surrender to Jesus if you are dead to Christ and your will is in bondage to sin and death! You need to be made alive to Christ in order to surrender to Jesus Christ!
Synergistic belief system is an excuse for self boasting and confidence in the dead bound will of the sin cursed self.
Once dead, always Dead! The will cannot choose to Believe!
Once Made Alive, always Alive! The will is set free and given faith to believe by the Regenerating power of the Holy Spirit; God is then Glorified and magnified in Salvation as confidence in self-sufficiency is put to death, to be always dead, indeed!
Synergistic belief system nicely sets aside and ignores the Person, power and work of the Holy Spirit; synergism suppresses the truth of the Holy Spirit's power and work of Regeneration, who alone makes alive and He gives faith to Believe on Jesus. Synergism places confidence in a sadly mistaken belief, that it is up to your choice and free will to choose to believe and receive Jesus for Salvation. Synergism excludes the person and work of the Holy Spirit in salvation who alone makes Alive to believe for Salvation. Synergism does not give credit to the Holy Spirit, it credits the deluded will of man in bondage to sin. Such a will in that status and condition is not set free to believe of its own--for a will in bondage, remains in bondage and will never choose to believe on Jesus, let alone surrender to self-centered boasting to seek hard after God. It is Dead!
But God! ...who is rich in Mercy makes Alive, by His miraculous power of the Holy Spirit even when being dead in trespasses and sins!
Ephesians 2:4-9
4Butc God, being rich in mercy, because of the great love with which he loved us, 5even when we were dead in our trespasses, made us alive together with Christ—by grace you have been saved— 6and raised us up with him and seated us with him in the heavenly places in Christ Jesus, 7so that in the coming ages he might show the immeasurable riches of his grace in kindness toward us in Christ Jesus. 8For by grace you have been saved through faith. And this is not your own doing; it is the gift of God, 9not a result of works, so that no one may boast.
Once made Alive by the Holy Spirit, there is no more cause for boasting in self, for no one can choose to believe of their own free will in exclusion to the person, work, will and power of the Holy Spirit, who alone regenerates and makes alive to believe. How can you magnify a deluded teaching that misleads many into thinking you have free will, when in truth, the will is in bondage and cannot believe on Christ of its own volition. You need to be Born-Again of the new nature of Christ Jesus by regeneration of the Holy Spirit! Such a condition of change is a Miraculous work of the Holy Spirit to make alive, when once fully dead! Hence, the Sovereign Grace of God is solely magnified and glorified in Salvation! Sola-Dei-Gloria!

The Trinity must have preeminence in All things, if not, then you are believing and teaching Heresy! I Peter 1:1-2

The Trinity must have preeminence in All things, if not, then you are believing and teaching Heresy!
I Peter 1:1-2
Peter, an apostle of Jesus Christ, To those who reside as aliens, scattered throughout Pontus, Galatia, Cappadocia, Asia, and Bithynia, who are chosen 2according to the foreknowledge of God the Father, by the sanctifying work of the Spirit, to obey Jesus Christ and be sprinkled with His blood: May grace and peace be yours in the fullest measure.

The Doctrine of the Trinity must be taught and adhered to in all teachings of Scripture, lest you believe and teach Heresy! For the Doctrine of the Trinity is found on all pages of Holy Scriptures!

The Doctrine of Trinity is the fiber to the teaching of the Doctrine of the Sovereignty of God; if you fail to include the person of God the Father, God the Son and God the Holy Spirit in all Doctrines of Scripture, and leave out any persons of the Trinity, then your teaching and preaching will be full of holes, falsehood, teaching empty doctrines of man made religion of Heresy!

The Doctrine of the Holy Trinity is clearly seen in all Doctrines of Scripture, from God the Father foreloving His Elect and His chosen before the foundation of the World, to predestination, to calling, to Justifying to glorifying!
Romans 8: 29-30:
For those whom he foreknew he also predestined to be conformed to the image of his Son, in order that he might be the firstborn among many brothers. 30And those whom he predestined he also called, and those whom he called he also justified, and those whom he justified he also glorified.

The Bible never teaches man's quest and attempts to reach God and find meaning in life, or to seek after rules and principles to live by; it is All about God's plan of Redemption in His Son and His Activity in reaching down to sinful man in the second Adam, the LORD Jesus Christ!

Its about the Activity of the Eternal Son of God leaving His Throne in glory--the glory He shared with God the Father before the foundation of the World in eternity past. It is about the Activity of The Son, Redeeming in His Blood, all those whom God the Father has given to God the Son before the foundation of the World. It is about Jesus and the Holy Spirit making intercession to God the Father for His precious Bride the Church!

Its all about the Activity of the Holy Spirit quickening, Regenerating and making alive all those whom God the Father gave to God the Son before the foundation of the World, and all those whom God the Son gave to God the Holy Spirit in His Ascended glory, when He sat down at the right hand of God the Father; that The Holy Spirit will apply the Saving benefits of the Redemptive work of His Jesus' shed Blood to the Redeemed, given to The Holy Spirit by God the Father and God the Son.

Its about the activity of the Holy Spirit gathering the Church, the Bride of Jesus Christ, Sanctifying her without spot or wrinkle preparing her for her Husband, the Lord Jesus Christ at His Second Return according to the Sovereign plan of God the Father and God the Son preparing His people for His glory.

The greatest gift of all time wrapped with a bow ribbon of the crimson Red Blood of the Lord Jesus Christ, given by God the Father! John 3:16-21

The greatest gift of all time wrapped with a bow ribbon of the crimson Red Blood of the Lord Jesus Christ, given by God the Father!
John 3:16-21
“For God so loved the world, that he gave his only Son, that whoever believes in him should not perish but have eternal life. 17For God did not send his Son into the world to condemn the world, but in order that the world might be saved through him. 18Whoever believes in him is not condemned, but whoever does not believe is condemned already, because he has not believed in the name of the only Son of God. 19And this is the judgment: the light has come into the world, and people loved the darkness rather than the light because their works were evil. 20For everyone who does wicked things hates the light and does not come to the light, lest his works should be exposed. 21But whoever does what is true comes to the light, so that it may be clearly seen that his works have been carried out in God.”

You know a package is a gift, for it is distinguished with wrapping and a ribbon tied into a bow. The greatest gift of all was given by God the Father, the precious gift of the Life of the Son of God in His flesh, in His incarnation, with the final wrapping of the crimson Red Blood of Jesus at His bloody cross, the ribbon wrapped in a bow over the package of the vicarious righteous Life of Jesus Christ and in His shed blood on the cross that was offered up to God the Father as a propitiation for the sins of His people, to appease the great and immense wrath of God for the penalty of my sin, in His vicarious Death; the ribbon of His shed Blood covered me for my forgiveness and Redemption of my Soul and new Life in the gift of everlasting life in His Resurrection the redemption of my Body! For the gift is twofold in double imputation: my sin for His righteousness, His shed blood for my forgiveness! His Resurrection for by resurrection from the dead unto eternal Life in knowing God the Father, God the Son and God the Holy Spirit!

Have you appropriated Faith and received this precious gift wrapped in the ribbon of the bow of Jesus' precious and holy Blood? Plead the mercy seat of God, pray that the Holy Spirit make you alive to Him and gives you Faith to believe on this Gift of the precious LORD Jesus Christ in His Shed Blood, Death and Resurrection, unto everlasting Life indeed!

A borrowed Manger At His Birth...A borrowed Tomb 3 days before He Resurrected

A Borrowed Manager at His Birth...A borrowed Tomb 3 Days before His Resurrection!
Luke 2:7
7 And she gave birth to her firstborn son and wrapped him in swaddling cloths and laid him in a manger, because there was no place for them in the inn.

Jesus came into this dark unwelcoming world, not to set up permenant residence in the place where He was born. Indeed, for the Place where Mary laid Him after she gave birth to Him, was in a Manger, where animals and sheep eat in the trough and lap up water with their tongues to drink, in troughs in a Manger. For there was no room in the Inn, and the Manger was borrowed for Jesus, after being born and wrapped in swaddling cloths and laid in that place--Jesus was not going to take up permenancy in that dark, cold unwelcoming place for an infant being born, nor in the dark unwelcoming world where there was no room for Him, for He came in an unwelcoming place not to take residence, a place where the Son of God and His presence was rejected, But He violently invaded this cold dark world, only to take, quicken and make our dead, cold unwelcoming heart alive by the Holy Spirit to take permenant residence in us; unto God the Father Eternally Welcoming us in His Kingdom, as He Transfers us from this dark, cold, unwelcoming world and brings us into the Joy of His welcoming presence of the Kingdom of His Son whom He Loves!
For He was passing through the borrowed Manger at His Birth, for His infant Body was full of Eternal Life at His Birth, for He was passing through that place of the Manger only to travel the way of the Via Della Rosa, the way of Suffering at the cross, for the infant Body of His was at full maturity and perfect obedience to be broken at the Cross to give the Bread of His Righteousness, the Bread of Eternal life, That filled His infant Body at Birth.

And at His Death, Jesus had no need to procure a Tomb for His Body!

The only unoccupied Tomb from all the greats gone by, is Jesus' borrowed tomb, for it was borrowed by Joseph of Armethia, for after Jesus breathed His last dieing Breath after His battle cry of Victory, " It is Finished"  they took Jesus down from the cross and wrapped Him in grave cloths and laid Him in the Tomb. Jesus did not need to take ownership of a permenant Tomb, in a purchase, for His Body was not going to take up permanent residence in that Tomb, for the Tomb was going to be empty on the Third day of His Resurrection, never to Die ever again! He was passing through the borrowed tomb in His Resurrection!

Hence, my grave, coffin and Death will be emptied by The grave Robber, Even Jesus Christ, for Like a thief in the night He will steal my body out of the grave, indeed!

Matthew 27:57-61
57When it was evening, there came a rich man from Arimathea, named Joseph, who also was a disciple of Jesus. 58He went to Pilate and asked for the body of Jesus. Then Pilate ordered it to be given to him. 59And Joseph took the body and wrapped it in a clean linen shroud 60and laid it in his own new tomb, which he had cut in the rock. And he rolled a great stone to the entrance of the tomb and went away. 61Mary Magdalene and the other Mary were there, sitting opposite the tomb.
Isaiah 53:9
9His grave was assigned with wicked men, Yet He was with a rich man in His death,

The Tree Decorated with the Blood of Jesus is our only Access to the Tree of Life Access to the Tree of Life is only obtained by way of The Cross of Jesus Christ

Preached Today:
The Tree Decorated with the Blood of Jesus is our only Access to the Tree of Life
Access to the Tree of Life is only obtained by way of The Cross of Jesus Christ

There is no Peace in this World by Constantly Eating of the Tree of the Knowledge of Good and Evil.
Without the Tree Decorated with the Royal Blood of Jesus Christ we will never have peace with God or Peace on Earth!

During this Season of Advent and Celebration of Jesus’ Birth, let us take a look at the significance of the Three Trees in the Bible and focus on the Third Tree Decorated with the Blood of Jesus and Partake of the Fruit of His Tree to Eat and be Filled with the Fruit of His Ways unto Eternal Life!

Christmas Season brings Joy and Celebration of Peace on Earth and Good Will to men, Right? Well when you look at the news you see there is a far Cry from peace on earth and good will to men, Why I Ask? I will tell you, it is because of the first Tree in the Garden, the Tree of the Knowledge of Good and Evil; we constantly take of the fruit of that tree and eat of it everyday, being filled with the consequence of it's ways and bearing the fruit of it everyday, of God’s Wrath Constantly abiding, sin, evil, death, destruction, cursing, Race wars, civil wars, National wars, political wars....

We have No Right to the Tree of Life without the Tree of the Bloody Cross of Jesus Christ!
No Right to the Tree of the knowledge of Good And Evil, according to God’s Holy Commands; Yet we disobeyed God, Ate its Fruit, and are filled with the fruit of the Way of the Tree of Knowledge of Good And Evil and are cursed!

The only Tree that matters in this life, is the Tree that Jesus was Cursed for our Sins; for while we hang on the Tree of the Knowledge of Good and Evil everyday, we bear in our Body and in our LIfe, the marks and the fruit of the Sin Cursed self.

Yet, on the Third Tree, that Curse was nailed on the Cross in Jesus' Shed Blood; For He Became a Curse for us that we might become righteous and accepted in God's Eyes in His Righteousness

For As it is spoken by Moses, in Deuteronomy 21:22-23, Regarding being Cursed who hangs on the Tree:
If a man has committed a sin worthy of death and he is put to death, and you hang him on a tree, 23his corpse shall not hang all night on the tree, but you shall surely bury him on the same day (for he who is hanged is accursed of God), so that you do not defile your land which the LORD your God gives you as an inheritance

And The Apostle Paul Teaches that Jesus Redeemed us by Becoming a Curse for us:
Galatians 3:13
Christ redeemed us from the curse of the law by becoming a curse for us, for it is written: "Cursed is everyone who is hung on a tree."

But it does not end there, Jesus does not hang perpetually on that Tree, for He Hung there once, 2000 years ago, and the Third Day Resurrected Bodily, that we will have hope of our Bodies being Resurrected unto Everlasting LIfe, by Being Made Alive by the Holy SPirit and given Faith to Believe on THE LORD JESUS Christ!

Hence, Let us enjoy the fruit of Jesus Redemptive work on the Cross by enjoying the Outcomes of Partaking and eating of His Tree

1. Peace with God-Colossians 1:20
2. Access and Right into the Presence of God Romans 5
3. Access and Right to eat of The Tree of Life unto Everlasting Life
The Apostle John in the Book of Revelation 22:14, teaches us through, Jesus Christ, our robes are washed by the Shed Blood of Jesus that decorated the Tree of the Cross, the outcome gives us access to Partake of the Second Tree, the Tree of Life!
Revelation 22:14
"Blessed are those who wash their robes, that they may have the right to the tree of life and may go through the gates into the city.

Conclusion:
There is no Peace in this World by Constantly Eating of the Tree of the Knowledge of Good and Evil; without the Tree Decorated with the Royal Blood of Jesus Christ we will never have peace with God or Peace on Earth.

During this Season of Advent and Celebration of Jesus’ Birth, let us take a look into the significance of the Three Trees in the Bible and focus on the Third Tree Decorated with the Blood of Jesus and Partake of the Fruit of His Tree to Eat and be Filled with the Fruit of His Ways unto Eternal Life!
