Classic Christianity – Book of Hebrews P33 (11-13-23)
Christ in You Your Only Hope of Glory
~ All those who are true believers in Jesus are the body of Christ Jesus down here on earth. Our very lives are found in Christ Jesus. When we abide in Him, he makes it known that the life I live is by faith in Him. Many of you in these last days are becoming more aware of the things that are happening in the world around us. It is the Holy Spirit that is making them known to you. He is showing you the truth of the world and of his Word of God too. Everything is important and the details matter in everything. For only God is the message of all truth. You will not find the truth on television, or the movies, or even in the teaching of most of the so called Christian ministers today, for they are all tainted by error and the lies of Satan and the world or worse yet, there are many false messengers sent from Satan to corrupt the masses and steer a person away from the Truth. Most have no clue about the world we live in or the lies that we have been brainwashed with since birth. But in these last days he is making known to his true “children of God” the truth of everything. And the Holy Spirit wants us to be aware of what is happening today.
Words matter in everything. The very words we use to describe things matter. And Satan knows that too. This is why he has changed the meaning of words down through the ages and it is important to understand the details in the word of God. Do NOT gloss over the details. We were told that in the book of “Hebrews” and so we ought to pay attention to the very words of God and understand the details with the Holy Spirit teaching us truth. “We must pay closer attention, therefore, to what we have heard, so that we do not drift away.” Hebrews 2:1 And quite frankly, Satan doesn’t want you to focus on the details. For that saying is, “the devil is in the details.” So if Satan can change the details in the word of God to mean something other than truth, Satan then has us caught in a lie. You know some prime examples already, Atonement vs Propitiation. Jesus did not atone for sin, yet Satan wants you to think he did. Ongoing forgiveness, vs total forgiveness at the cross. Satan wants you to believe in ongoing forgiveness. There are many many more words that have been changed in meaning in the word of God. Pay attention to the details from the Holy Spirit teaching you ALL truth. And lean not on your own understanding of things, nor on the teachings of Any man. Go back to the word of God and ask the Holy Spirit to show you ALL truth. And He will and with GREAT ABUNDANCE too.

~ Now I rejoice in what I am suffering for you, and I fill up in my flesh what is still lacking in regard to Christ’s afflictions, for the sake of his body, which is the church. I have become its servant by the commission God gave me to present to you the word of God in its fullness— the mystery that has been kept hidden for ages and generations, but is now disclosed to the Lord’s people. To them God has chosen to make known among the Gentiles the glorious riches of this mystery, which is Christ in you, the hope of glory. He is the one we proclaim, admonishing and teaching everyone with all wisdom, so that we may present everyone fully mature in Christ. To this end I strenuously contend with all the energy Christ so powerfully works in me. Colossians 1:24-29
~ For to me, to live is Christ and to die is gain. Philippians 1:21
~ Do you not know that your bodies are temples of the Holy Spirit, who is in you, whom you have received from God? You are not your own; you were bought at a price. Therefore honor God with your bodies. 1 Corinthians 6:19-20

~ Father the message from the cross and the message from the empty tomb. I have accomplished it all. There’s nothing for you to do, except rest. Resting from your works as I rested from mine, allowing no confidence for the flesh and to walk, not leaning upon our own understanding that at all things to acknowledge you, and the promise, I will direct your path. Not through self effort, not through self righteousness, not through religion, but through a living, vital pulsating relationship with a living God, alive living in us. Our only hope of glory. As the song said, teach us Father to learn to trust you more. And it’s in your precious name that we pray, amen.
…
And it said My ways are not your ways. Righteousness is something that is imputed. It is not something you can earn. And that attitude, you will never ever, ever enter my rest. When you’re still trying to deal as an example, with the sin issue on your own, coming up with every harebrained idea that we can come up with, as to how to get and keep ourselves forgiven. Instead of resting in what he said, “It is finished,” you will never enter into His rest, until a man comes to rejoice in the finality of the cross, you will never ever rejoice in the reality of the resurrection of Jesus Christ. Why? Because you’re doing things your way instead of his. And man from day one has tried to develop ways of keeping himself acceptable in the sight of God. Instead of resting in the fact that he has already been made acceptable in the sight of God now go be who you are.” ~ Bob George
