THE MESSAGE OF THE CROSS
Brother James
1st Corinthians 1:18
For the message of the cross is foolishness to those who are perishing, but to us who are being saved it is the power of God.
The Message of the Cross is so much more than talking about the Death, Burial and Ressurrection of Jesus. The Message of the Cross encompasses the Whole Gospel given from the time Christ walked the Earth through the deeper Revelations that were given by His Holy Spirit after His ascension into the Throne Room of Heaven. The Message of the Cross surpasses the place where we learn to acknowledge the sin that is in us and its debt that the Cross collected from Christ. It surpasses the fact that Christ had the intense Power of True Life and had the ability to lay that Life down and to rise up again a New Creation then to be glorified. The Message of the Cross is about the Narrow Path we must travel and therein travail until we become Born from above. It is the defining place of our total submission to God our Fathers will to Overcome Satan and his demonic forces. It is a place where all true spiritual understanding comes to fruition so that we can proclaim as did Paul that we have become crucified with Christ.
Galatians 2:20
I have been crucified with Christ; it is no longer I who live, but Christ lives in me; and the life which I now live in the flesh I live by faith in the Son of God, who loved me and gave Himself for me.
It is the fruition of our being saved that point and time where being sealed in the Holy Spirit and True Security in Eternal Life is reached not by our own efforts but by our submission to His Work within us.
Ephesians 1:13
In Him you also trusted, after you heard the word of truth, the gospel of your salvation; in whom also, having believed, you were sealed with the Holy Spirit of promise,
The Spirit of Promise seals us when we have released our friendships, partnerships and love of this world having come to a deep place of Faith of total reliance on Gods Promises.
1 John 2:15
Do not love the world or the things in the world. If anyone loves the world, the love of the Father is not in him.
James 4:4
Adulterers and adulteresses! Do you not know that friendship with the world is enmity with God? Whoever therefore wants to be a friend of the world makes himself an enemy of God.
A clear Message of the Cross above in James 4:4 calls those called to be crucified with Christ yet still trusting in the worlds False Solutions Adulterers and Aduteresses. This is the condition oif many in the Church today. They simply trust in the solutions devils and seducing spirits place in the heart of man making them in Truth enemies with God.
The Message of the Cross contains in it the Divine time and place wherein the Promises of God once fully trusted Births the Spirit of Christ (Gods Anointing, Power and Wisdom) within.
1 Corinthians 1:24
but to those who are called, both Jews and Greeks, Christ the power of God and the wisdom of God.
Galatians 4:19
My little children, for whom I labor in birth again until Christ is formed in you,
2 Peter 1:4
by which have been given to us exceedingly great and precious promises, that through these you may be partakers of the divine nature, having escaped the corruption that is in the world through lust.
You see the Cross is carried by us until we reach the place its Message and Promises are fulfilled and we become the Sons and Daughters of God.
Matthew 16:24
Then Jesus said to His disciples, “If anyone desires to come after Me, let him deny himself, and take up his cross, and follow Me.

"CAVEAT EMPTOR" (Let The Buyer Beware) Brother James, OIC
"CAVEAT EMPTOR" (Let The Buyer Beware)
Brother James, OIC
Pro 23:23 Buy the truth, and sell it not; also wisdom, and instruction, and understanding.
Years back what feels like several lives ago I was a Realtor in Louisiana. We were taught a Latin phrase while in Real Estate School: "CAVEAT EMPTOR" or "LET THE BUYER BEWARE" as buyers buy at their own risk. It was a phrase to make a buyer think about what they were getting into.
Today more than ever this phrase needs to be heeded. Not just in the world where you make purchases. But more so in the Church Buildings as a Christian. You see my time and your time has value. We must be sure that what we spend our time on is worth it and we must know what we are getting into. Our time encompasses our lives and our lives are headed toward an eternal destiny. And what we agree with we purchase to its reward whether good or bad.
Gods Word rightly divided, received in understanding has many rewards Redemption, Transformation,
Son-ship to God, Power, Vision and Eternal Life. Yet we as Christians must beware what we hear. As Truth can be corrupted by the False Doctrines and False Solutions of this world and its god Satan.
Jesus Speaking:
Mar 8:15 And he charged them, saying, Take heed, beware of the leaven of the Pharisees, and of the leaven of Herod.
Mar 13:5 And Jesus answering them began to say, Take heed lest any man deceive you..
Luk 8:18 Take heed therefore how ye hear: for whosoever hath, to him shall be given; and whosoever hath not, from him shall be taken even that which he seemeth to have.
We are born into a lost and dying world. We are fallen infested with sin in our flesh and our only hope is that Truth will make us Free. To many ministers of Satan stand at the pulpits today. They are seemingly nice people, college degreed, show concern for their flock yet leaven (false doctrine) is in their hearts as they convince you the False Solutions and Cures of the world are from God.
Our lives need healing; physically, spiritually, emotionally and provisionally. Only acknowledging and agreeing with Truth in your heart will do that. Truth is not Truth if it is mixed with the doctrine of demons and seducing spirits. In your hands The New Testament has the Words of Life. All time from Eternity was pointing to this day where in Truth visited the Earth and became a Living New Creation within us. It is Gods Seed within for those who will pay the cost of true discipleship and reject the lies of Satan, thus buying the Truth. And it will do for us what it did for Jesus.
Joh 1:14 And the Word was made flesh, and dwelt among us, (and we beheld his glory, the glory as of the only begotten of the Father,) full of grace and truth.
Joh 1:17 For the law was given by Moses, but grace and truth came by Jesus Christ.
Joh 3:21 But he that doeth truth cometh to the light, that his deeds may be made manifest, that they are wrought in God.
Joh 4:23-24 But the hour cometh, and now is, when the true worshippers shall worship the Father in spirit and in truth: for the Father seeketh such to worship God is a Spirit: and they that worship him must worship him in spirit and in truth
Joh 8:31-32 Then said Jesus to those Jews which believed on him, If ye continue in my word, then are ye my disciples indeed; And ye shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free.
Joh 14:6 Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me.
Joh 16:13 Howbeit when he, the Spirit of truth, is come, he will guide you into all truth: for he shall not speak of himself; but whatsoever he shall hear, that shall he speak: and he will shew you things to come.
Jas 1:18 Of his own will begat he us with the word of truth, that we should be a kind of firstfruits of his creatures.
Half Truths will avail you nothing. And sadly the only Truth most understand is the beginning of the Gospel The Death, Burial and Resurrection of Jesus Christ then after that the devils ministers in the church house are busy stunting and aborting your growth with lies.
"CAVEAT EMPTOR - LET THE BUYER BEWARE": This is a wake up call for the Church as it is a very serious thing to know what is Truth and what isn't, your eternal destination is at stake, buy the Truth and do not sell it.

THE ELECT Brother James, OIC
THE ELECT
Brother James, OIC
1Pe 1:1-5 Peter, an apostle of Jesus Christ, to the strangers scattered throughout Pontus, Galatia, Cappadocia, Asia, and Bithynia, Elect according to the foreknowledge of God the Father, through sanctification of the Spirit, unto obedience and sprinkling of the blood of Jesus Christ: Grace unto you, and peace, be multiplied. Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, which according to his abundant mercy hath begotten us again unto a lively hope by the resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead, To an inheritance incorruptible, and undefiled, and that fadeth not away, reserved in heaven for you, Who are kept by the power of God through faith unto salvation ready to be revealed in the last time.
Tit 1:1 Paul, a servant of God, and an apostle of Jesus Christ, according to the faith of God's elect, and the acknowledging of the truth which is after godliness;
The Elect of God according to His foreknowledge are a different people from those in the world and in the Worldly Church. Gods Elect are a remnant of True Believers whose faith delivers them unto salvation here in these perilous end times. A predestined people chosen before time began out of what the world views as foolish and base; the poor, the prostitute, the drunkard, the addict, the thief, the handicap, the uneducated, the abused and emotionally distraught, these God has chosen because they are rich in Faith.
1Co 1:24-31 But unto them which are called, both Jews and Greeks, Christ the power of God, and the wisdom of God. Because the foolishness of God is wiser than men; and the weakness of God is stronger than men. For ye see your calling, brethren, how that not many wise men after the flesh, not many mighty, not many noble, are called: But God hath chosen the foolish things of the world to confound the wise; and God hath chosen the weak things of the world to confound the things which are mighty; And base things of the world, and things which are despised, hath God chosen, yea, and things which are not, to bring to nought things that are: That no flesh should glory in his presence. But of him are ye in Christ Jesus, who of God is made unto us wisdom, and righteousness, and sanctification, and redemption: That, according as it is written, He that glorieth, let him glory in the Lord
Jesus Himself pointed to this day and these people in many parables. One of The Wedding Feast is a prime example of the Last Days Religionists as compared to thse whom God would elect.
Mat 22:1-14 And Jesus answered and spake unto them again by parables, and said, The kingdom of heaven is like unto a certain king, which made a marriage for his son, And sent forth his servants to call them that were bidden to the wedding: and they would not come. Again, he sent forth other servants, saying, Tell them which are bidden, Behold, I have prepared my dinner: my oxen and my fatlings are killed, and all things are ready: come unto the marriage. But they made light of it, and went their ways, one to his farm, another to his merchandise: And the remnant took his servants, and entreated them spitefully, and slew them. But when the king heard thereof, he was wroth: and he sent forth his armies, and destroyed those murderers, and burned up their city. Then saith he to his servants, The wedding is ready, but they which were bidden were not worthy. Go ye therefore into the highways, and as many as ye shall find, bid to the marriage. So those servants went out into the highways, and gathered together all as many as they found, both bad and good: and the wedding was furnished with guests. And when the king came in to see the guests, he saw there a man which had not on a wedding garment, And he saith unto him, Friend, how camest thou in hither not having a wedding garment? And he was speechless. Then said the king to the servants, Bind him hand and foot, and take him away, and cast him into outer darkness; there shall be weeping and gnashing of teeth. For many are called, but few are chosen.
It is a very humbling moment when the God turns on His Light within and the Spirit of Understanding opens your eyes to see what is real and what isn't. The Word states that this is the moment where your senses (spiritual) have been exercised to discern what is good and what is evil.
2Ti 2:23-26 But foolish and unlearned questions avoid, knowing that they do gender strifes. And the servant of the Lord must not strive; but be gentle unto all men, apt to teach, patient, In meekness instructing those that oppose themselves; if God peradventure will give them repentance to the acknowledging of the truth; And that they may recover themselves out of the snare of the devil, who are taken captive by him at his will.
I recently failed this scripture in that I allowed myself to get caught up in a foolish wrangling about Free Will versus Predestination. Bottom Line if you think you did it, you chose it, you found it, it is a very prideful thought but when the True Reality reveals itself that God foreknew and called you to be before time began brokenness and thanksgiving occurs. If you are the Elect you will know this as God has given you the understanding to impart the life giving Truth of His Word.
Thomas Aquinas once wrote:
"Thou art not the better if thou art praised nor the worse if thou art dispraised because as thou art thou art and no matter what may be said of thee thou art no better than Almighty God that called you to be."
There are few Elect of God but many were called to be but God foreknew and set all things in motion. Theses days will be shortened for our, the Elects sakes, as many perverse doctrines have entered the Church Buildings but we are called to this end time Spiritual War to Fight the Fight of Faith in Truth.

FRIENDSHIP Brother James, OIC
FRIENDSHIP
Brother James, OIC
Joh 15:14 Ye are my friends, if ye do whatsoever I command you.
Friendship with Jesus is the most important friendship you will ever have offered. In fact it is so important that God Himself ordained it and Satan will stop at nothing to keep you from receiving it.
To be Jesus friend requires obedience to His Commands. Its not the Commandments of the Law this is talking about . Its His Commandment to Love others as He has Loved you. This Love isn't a natural Love but it is one that seals your Friendship with Him and hides your life in Christ in God. Its a Friendship that takes you up and seats you in heavenly places.
What births this friendship and strengthens us to Love as He Loves is the Word of Truth, His Seed Received in understanding that cultivates His Power in your earthen vessel. The Commandments of the Law could never do this as they were burdensome in their requirements and impossible to live by as they imputed sin to us.
1Jn 5:3 For this is the love of God, that we keep his commandments: and his commandments are not grievous.
Joh 13:34 A new commandment I give unto you, That ye love one another; as I have loved you, that ye also love one another.
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 natural man develops and sees friendships from a self centered emotional need. Even those that have seemingly good lives, it is usually pride in, of and toward their family, their worldly accomplishments, their children's successes, their acquaintances and those that they consider close friends. All of this is because of some natural satisfaction that is only temporal...none of which glorifies God.
Friendship that glorifies God and walks in the Love and Light of Christ is one that selflessly meets another need physical, emotional and then the most importantly their spiritual needs by speaking the Truth in Love. And this Love is Friendship with Christ and is His Command.

FROM BLAMING TO BLESSINGS BROTHER JAMES, OIC
FROM BLAMING TO BLESSINGS
Brother James, OIC
Mat 5:1-2 And seeing the multitudes, he went up into a mountain: and when he was set, his disciples came unto him: And he opened his mouth, and taught them, saying,
Mat 5:3 Blessed are the poor in spirit: for theirs is the kingdom of heaven.
Mat 5:4 Blessed are they that mourn: for they shall be comforted.
Mat 5:5 Blessed are the meek: for they shall inherit the earth.
Mat 5:6 Blessed are they which do hunger and thirst after righteousness: for they shall be filled.
Mat 5:7 Blessed are the merciful: for they shall obtain mercy.
Mat 5:8 Blessed are the pure in heart: for they shall see God.
Mat 5:9 Blessed are the peacemakers: for they shall be called the children of God.
Mat 5:10 Blessed are they which are persecuted for righteousness' sake: for theirs is the kingdom of heaven.
Mat 5:11 Blessed are ye, when men shall revile you, and persecute you, and shall say all manner of evil against you falsely, for my sake.
Mat 5:12 Rejoice, and be exceeding glad: for great is your reward in heaven: for so persecuted they the prophets which were before you
I always equated financial wealth to blessings but the more I received the less happier I became. But now because God has called me and placed within me His Word of Truth I've understood what true blessings are. The word broke me,healed me then reshaped me into the image of Gods Son. The verses above describe the Nature of Jesus and now I'm living in the blessing of the Nature of Christ in me.
In my Old Nature I always wanted to blame others for things I caused to go wrong in my life. But now with eyes opened to discern what truly is good and what is evil Ive realized there is a lot to be thankful for to live in the world but not be a part of its false solutions.

IF THE TRUTH BE KNOWN Brother James, OIC
IF THE TRUTH BE KNOWN
Brother James, OIC
Joh 8:31-32 Then said Jesus to those Jews which believed on him, If ye continue in my word, then are ye my disciples indeed; And ye shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free.
Truth is not a matter of perspective nor opinion. It has nothing to do with circumstances nor the white lies running rampant in todays society. It does have to do with Gods Word and receiving it in spiritual understanding. This can only be done in those who are called and who go on to make their call and election sure, who have a love of the Truth. But the fact is many don't and many more are victims of trusting what they are taught in Church. I want you to know it is your responsibility to study and seek Gods understanding and receive repentance to the acknowledgement of the Truth.
If the Truth Be Known it sets you at liberty. A new freedom in which you are empowered to choose to become a son or daughter of God. Jesus had many things to say about Truth.
Many claim to know God but they don't really know Jesus. They know a Jesus but not one known only in Truth. Many are stuck in this Hell bound condition. One lady I know whom I was deceived by in reality I realized she knew nothing of Truth. She is stuck in a dead religious mode believing she knows God and Jesus. If you don't know Truth you don't know Jesus. Jesus is the embodiment of Truth a condition we reach when we are transformed by the renewing of our minds through Truth. And until you know Him in Truth you will not have Him nor the Father:
Joh 14:6-7 Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me. If ye had known me, ye should have known my Father also: and from henceforth ye know him, and have seen him.
Many who are stuck in the dead religious mode be it their own goodness, lack of knowledge or self righteousness or caught up in false doctrines are not bearing good fruit in their own lives nor others and are crucifying the Son of God afresh with their lies. Many hear the Gospel and are called yet they never go to make their call call and election sure.
Heb 6:4-6 For it is impossible for those who were once enlightened, and have tasted of the heavenly gift, and were made partakers of the Holy Ghost, And have tasted the good word of God, and the powers of the world to come, If they shall fall away, to renew them again unto repentance; seeing they crucify to themselves the Son of God afresh, and put him to an open shame.
Joh 8:40-42 But now ye seek to kill me, a man that hath told you the truth, which I have heard of God: this did not Abraham.Ye do the deeds of your father. Then said they to him, We be not born of fornication; we have one Father, even God. Jesus said unto them, If God were your Father, ye would love me: for I proceeded forth and came from God; neither came I of myself, but he sent me.
Many say they know God but yet they serve the devil. Oh in the worlds eyes they are good people, some are successful and they do a lot of religious works but they are dead.
If Truth Be Known then the first thing given is a real choice to use Truth to grow you until you become a Son or Daughter of God.
Joh 1:12 But as many as received him, to them gave he power to become the sons of God, even to them that believe on his name:
Then if you continue in the Word there is freedom:
Joh 8:31-32 Then said Jesus to those Jews which believed on him, If ye continue in my word, then are ye my disciples indeed; And ye shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free.
The Truth makes you reborn into a New Creation:
Jas 1:18 Of his own will begat he us with the word of truth, that we should be a kind of firstfruits of his creatures.
During this process it cleans you out of the junk the world, the sin and the dead church has hurt you with.
Heb 4:12 For the word of God is quick, and powerful, and sharper than any twoedged sword, piercing even to the dividing asunder of soul and spirit, and of the joints and marrow, and is a discerner of the thoughts and intents of the heart.
Truth sets you apart from the world.
Joh 17:17 Sanctify them through thy truth: thy word is truth.
I desire Truth because it causes me to agree with God, recognize my sin and walk in His Power where there is Light in this lost and dying world.

Joh 8:31-32 Then said Jesus to those Jews which believed on him, If ye continue in my word, then are ye my disciples indeed; And ye shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free.
Truth is not a matter of perspective nor opinion. It has nothing to do with circumstances nor the white lies running rampant in todays society. It does have to do with Gods Word and receiving it in spiritual understanding. This can only be done in those who are called and who go on to make their call and election sure, who have a love of the Truth. But the fact is many don't and many more are victims of trusting what they are taught in Church. I want you to know it is your responsibility to study and seek Gods understanding and receive repentance to the acknowledgement of the Truth.
If the Truth Be Known it sets you at liberty. A new freedom in which you are empowered to choose to become a son or daughter of God. Jesus had many things to say about Truth.
Many claim to know God but they don't really know Jesus. They know a Jesus but not one known only in Truth. Many are stuck in this Hell bound condition. One lady I know whom I was deceived by in reality I realized she knew nothing of Truth. She is stuck in a dead religious mode believing she knows God and Jesus. If you don't know Truth you don't know Jesus. Jesus is the embodiment of Truth a condition we reach when we are transformed by the renewing of our minds through Truth. And until you know Him in Truth you will not have Him nor the Father:
Joh 14:6-7 Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me. If ye had known me, ye should have known my Father also: and from henceforth ye know him, and have seen him.
Many who are stuck in the dead religious mode be it their own goodness, lack of knowledge or self righteousness or caught up in false doctrines are not bearing good fruit in their own lives nor others and are crucifying the Son of God afresh with their lies. Many hear the Gospel and are called yet they never go to make their call call and election sure.
