---THIS IS MORE OF CREATIVE THOUGHT! NOT TO BE TAKEN AS CANON OR SCRIPTURAL AUTHORITY!!---
Ian Lamar Courts, a minister of Our Sovereign Lord Jesus Christ by the will and purpose of God "Our Father"! Greetings in Christ Jesus!
To those sanctified by grace and faithful to salvation's call:
Our great God has called all of us to purity and righteousness in His Son Jesus the Christ. Therefore, we are to adhere to the Apostle Paul's guidance in Colossians 1:10 "that we live a life worthy of the Lord and may please Him in every way: bearing fruit in all good works, growing in the knowledge of God!" This was not a mere guideline or optional appeal by the Apostle Paul but a declarative statement commanding us to grow in the faith by our lifestyles. Our confession of faith should align with our lifestyle of faith. Our Savior Jesus Christ in Luke 6:44 declares "each tree is recognized by it's own fruit. People do not pick figs from thornbushes, or grapes from briers." In the text we see Our Lord Jesus admonishing us to produce good and fresh fruit. The thornbushes are those that participate in sexual sins resulting from human lust, gossip, slander, and lies coming from falsehood and most of all disobedience to the faith which is an offspring of rebellion a descendant of witchcraft! I write to you lukewarm believers: AWAKE, AWAKE, check your produce for the farmer is coming to gather his harvest! The bad fruit will be destroyed and their trees cut down and burned while the good fruit will be harvested and their trees preserved for the next harvest season. Our Lord is coming soon check your life and see what is made of it. Galatians 5:22 states "the fruit of the Spirit are love, joy, peace, long suffering, meekness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness and temperance" all of which guarantee you life in Heaven. Mutilate your sinful desires and nurture your spiritual fruit for one is temporal and the other eternal! Watch, live and pray for the day draws near!
Brethren, grow in the knowledge of the Holy Spirit. He is the fullness of God living in us. In Genesis 1:2 "the Spirit of God was hovering over the waters" showing that even in the beginning the Holy Spirit was involved in the lives of God's people. In St. John 4:24 Jesus states "God is spirit, and His worshippers must worship in spirit and in truth." This is the essence of Pneumatology the study of the Holy Spirit! God is the Holy Spirit and thus He lives in us. The Godhead is completed in the Spirit! Dear brothers, this is a matter of rejoicing for us that through and in the Spirit all of the Godhead is shown in splendor and power! The Holy Spirit is given to us all in Christ by the Sovereign power of God. The Holy Spirit is the manifestation of the power of the Godhead! God the Father the thought, God the Son the Word and God the Spirit the action! All work in sequence and accordance with the other. Thus rejoice that the Spirit of Jesus lives in you is the action and enforcer of God's Word! Waiting to bring God's promises into fulfillment! Praise and glory be to God for the existence of His Spirit! Ephesians 5:18 declares "Be not drunk with wine but continuely be filled with the Spirit!" Remember there is One baptism with the Holy Ghost and many refillings of the Spirit thereafter!
Finally dear followers of Christ, preserve the truth. Protect the purity of the gospel! Teach sound doctrine and preach the truth that Jesus Christ was born of a virgin, conceived by the Holy Ghost, lived as human and divine, died for the sins of mankind and was resurrected by the Spirit and thus is sitting at the righthand of God! False prophets and teachers are trying to corrupt the gospel from within our numbers and without or boundaries! Legalistic perfection denominations, false "new manifestations", disorderly gifts, cessaitionist ideologies, Christian science, and hyper feminism are inward attacks from Satan to the purity of the gospel of Jesus. Atheism, liberalism, humanism, and all other corruptible forces aimed at destroying our great Faith! Understand though they shall not overcome the remnant God has chosen. Many have already turned away and will be deceived but a remnant will preserve the gospel! Fight as good soldiers for the gospel! Destroy and kill in prayer all tactics against God! Unleash the will of God in your own lives and watch His dunamis power work! Remember this statement found in the Holy Writ "Be steadfast, unmovable, always abounding in the work of the Lord! For in this you know your living is not in vain!"
Farewell, dear jewels of Christ, love each other in spite of each other. Love the hell out of each other. Love those in sin and righteousness! Love will surpass all other gifts given to us in Christ! God is love, Jesus is love, the Holy Spirit is love and we are to love! And as always "Follow peace with all men, and holiness for without which no man shall see the Lord" (Hebrews 12:14) Amen, Amen and Amen! Glory to God the Father!
