DAY TO DAY WITH JESUS
RECOVERY DEVOTIONAL
FOR HIS SEED REMAINETH IN YOU
Brother James, OIC
1Jn 3:9 Whosoever is born of God doth not commit sin; for his seed remaineth in him: and he cannot sin, because he is born of God.
I believe to understand what this means is lost to many in today’s All Solutions Are From God Church. But all Solutions Offered in this world to you are not from God. But for those who do understand this it means they know what’s in Gods Word and that it is truly alive, it’s powerful and has born them again into a New Creation wherein they become partakers of the Divine Nature (see 2Peter1:3-4; 2 Corinthians 1:20; 1Corinthians 1:24; Galatians 4:19; Colossians 1:27). And these are in whom the Love of God will be perfected wherein they Love Others as Christ Loved Them. And it’s trust in Gods Promises that separates the True believers from those who trust in and give praise to the illusion of the solutions Satan and his kingdom in this world offer.
One of the scriptures that reveals what God gives you is in the book of James:
Jas 1:17 Every good gift and every perfect gift is from above, and cometh down from the Father of lights, with whom is no variableness, neither shadow of turning.
Simply put it is not a gift from God if it is imperfect, but it is from a god the god of this world Satan.
To Overcome the Wicked One is to trust Gods Promises and STOP trusting in and being taken captive by Satans False Solutions and Schemes. This is the purpose Jesus came to this Earth. This is also our purpose and what Christ; Gods Word His Wisdom, Power and Anointing causes us to do:
Rev 12:11 And they overcame him by the blood of the Lamb, and by the word of their testimony; and they loved not their lives unto the death.
1Jn 3:8 He that committeth sin is of the devil; for the devil sinneth from the beginning. For this purpose the Son of God was manifested, that he might destroy the works of the devil. Whosoever is born of God doth not commit sin; for his seed remaineth in him: and he cannot sin, because he is born of God. In this the children of God are manifest, and the children of the devil: whosoever doeth not righteousness is not of God, neither he that loveth not his brother
Sin is Missing the Mark of God, Gods Promises are His Mark, and it's when you rely on the Worlds False Solutions to lifes problems. Ask yourself What's your solution: Dr Phil, a Pill, Mr. Bill or Jesus?
Gods Seed is His Word(see Mt 13:1-8 18-23),. If it dwells in you in your intellect it hasn’t yet made the trip to your heart wherein Life, the Divine Nature, and Gods Love begins to grow. This type of knowledge is Greek: gnosis - gno'-sis
From; knowing (the act), that is, (by implication) knowledge: - knowledge, science, intellect.
Men through this fallen self emulating intellect continue to try to build their Towers of Babel either to get to God or call it God, it was our beloved Apostle Paul that warned of your stagnating in this type of intellectual grasp of Gods Word that will never produce the Gods’ Fruit of Love within:
1Co 8:1 Now as touching things offered unto idols, we know that we all have knowledge (gnosis). Knowledge (gnosis) puffeth up, but love edifieth.
In our Recovery Meetings we use 2 Peter 1:1-11 to help keep our focus on Total Recovery in Christ to deliver us from Satan’s many hurts, false solutions, detours and roadblocks he places on us or in our path. You will notice in these verses the power of Gods Promises and what we must do to work out our salvation in fear and trembling to grow into the perfection of Gods Love.
In 2 Peter 1 you will see the word knowledge but in these scriptures it is not referring to intellectual knowledge but a deeper abiding understanding of Gods Heart and Mind on matters;
2Pe 1:2-16a Grace and peace be multiplied unto you through the knowledge (epignosis) of God, and of Jesus our Lord, According as his divine power hath given unto us all things that pertain unto life and godliness, through the knowledge (epignosis) of him that hath called us to glory and virtue: Whereby are given unto us exceeding great and precious promises: that by these ye might be partakers of the divine nature, having escaped the corruption that is in the world through lust. And beside this, giving all diligence, add to your faith virtue; and to virtue knowledge (epinosis); And to knowledge (epignosis)…….
Knowledge: Greek; epignōsis
recognition, that is, (by implication) full discernment, acknowledgement: - (ac-) knowledge (-ing, -ment). In Truth you become converted into a New Creature with the heart and mind of God.
Remember in John 1:1 the Word was God and in verse 14 the Word was made flesh. Jesus would only speak what He heard the Father speak and do what He saw the Father do as He was had the fullness of the Godhead Bodily (epignosis). This wasn’t/isn’t Theology.
1Jn 2:5 But whoso keepeth his word, in him verily is the love of God perfected: hereby know we that we are in him
The word keepeth is most important and much deeper than the temporary keeping the world translates it into today it implies safe imprisonment:
Keep: Greek; tēreō
tay-reh'-o
to guard (from loss or injury, properly by keeping the eye upon; which is properly to prevent escaping; which implies a fortress or full military lines of apparatus),
When Gods Word abides in you in “epignosis” maturity is close at at hand wherein the Kingdom of God has entered into you:
Heb 5:11-14 Of whom we have many things to say, and hard to be uttered, seeing ye are dull of hearing. For when for the time ye ought to be teachers, ye have need that one teach you again which be the first principles of the oracles of God; and are become such as have need of milk, and not of strong meat. For every one that useth milk is unskilful in the word of righteousness: for he is a babe. But strong meat belongeth to them that are of full age, even those who by reason of use have their senses exercised to discern both good and evil.
The Word of Righteousness, that is full abiding Faith and Trust in Gods Promises is Gods Seed remaining in you, this has nothing to do with the work of the flesh that is the body of sin the earthen vessel you as this New Creation dwells in. It has to do with the sinless unadulterated Word of God that Seed that produces the Love of God that becomes life, light, hope, direction, provision, healing and recovery within you to impart to those whom God brings before you to come to Christ. God is Love.
