"Fulness"

“Fulness”
Sometime soon the people of the world are going to have to start questioning what they are being spoon fed by the establishment, which has its own secret agenda that is separate from God’s agenda in Jesus Christ. Whether it is our own human government that seeks to establish itself separate from the US Constitution and morality, or whether it is churches and seminaries that seek to circumvent the clearest interpretation of the sacred scriptures, it all spells very big trouble on the earth. God is not mocked, and whatever men sew they will indeed also reap. In the case of our very own government structure the founders who drafted our Constitution recognized the things of great and unchanging value. They built a great nation founded upon those principles. The nation today that has strayed so far away from their principles is faltering and dying because it has forsaken them. We see economic collapse today as our government has done business in worthless, inflationary paper from international bankers, and continues now to keep printing up more and more of it to supposedly bail out Wall Street and Main Street. The American people today know nothing of Article 1, Section 10 of the US Constitution and its stipulation against such nefarious practices to enslave the people of America. And seemingly, today, the people do not care to stand in the way of such evils, but fall right into lockstep with whatever plans evil men have for them. They question nothing, and willingly support every evil under the sun!
Likewise, too, we have been given God’s holy Word that is also meant to keep us from straying and from harm. The New Testament is filled to overflowing with Spirit-inspired truths penned by the apostles as God’s creation was led from the old covenant into the new. Thus was manifested to the world God’s great mystery plan of the ages in Christ Jesus! These words from God in his new covenant should have formed the final word from Him to the entire world that the old had forever ended and that the new, everlasting covenant (Heb.13:20) was now firmly established and had great significance for mankind’s best interests and wellbeing. But as things tend to go upon the earth, it wasn’t too long before the many clever words of some men gained far greater influence over men’s minds in various matters and ways. We saw this in various places in the New Testament, as in Paul’s letter to the Galatians, where those in the church there were persuaded to return to circumcision. There are other occasions in church history where men were wooed away from real Christian truth and doctrine, and some remain in place to this very day. But today we must deal with that same subject that the Apostle felt required his serious, undivided attention, for it also is still very much with us today and is creating much trouble and turmoil in many places.
Because men have departed from the knowledge of the new covenant of Jesus Christ many clever and well placed words of clever men have turned many minds off into the wrong direction. This direction supports the return of things back to the old covenant Jewish law system. Some are certainly aware of the most recent news of Israel’s intent to restore the temple and the animal sacrifices to Jerusalem. The temple is now completed off site and can be re-erected at a moment’s notice, so that within three month’s time it will be up and running for all the world to behold and admire once again. Many in modern American Christendom cheer it on with great anticipation, enthusiasm, and excitement. They think that this is all a great part of God’s plan and is very pleasing to Him, and that any Gentile nations that dare to oppose this goal will be harshly judged and called to account for opposing his unbelieving people Israel.
Yet, indeed, it must still be asked why modern Israel should put all of this in place of the Savior sent from God 2000 years ago. We must also keep in mind that the old original state of Israel was judged already and utterly destroyed, just as the Savior said it would be. So also why must moderns who claim Christ today feel that they must now turn completely around and support such antichristian activity in the new replacement state of Israel? Can they not discern right from wrong, for they apparently believe that this wrong activity is right for today? Such wrong is right in their sight, under whatever human pretext and command has been used to twist their thinking from the straight and narrow ways of God in Christ! (Note--in speaking of antichrist here, I would refer the reader to the Scripture definition found in I and II John, where an antichrist person is one who claims that the Christ of God has not already come in the flesh. This, in other words, is an unbeliever, just as the early unbelieving Jews of John’s day were, and so are these latter ones still today.)
What strange spirits of antichrist roam around in our midst today to turn the world back to the Jewish temple and its Jewish system of animal sacrifices! What foolishness now possesses men’s minds to proclaim that God fully supports and endorses such antichrist behavior! No wonder they cannot find his blessing today, but must ever look beyond into their misty world of the future that they now proclaim will be better. But for today they insist that their house divided is somehow acceptable to God, despite its contradiction to Christ’s finished work at Calvary and to his Great Commission. Their agenda deviates from God’s central emphasis on the precious things of the new covenant and takes a complete turn backwards in history. All of this is done to accommodate antichrist unbelief! It grasps nothing of any higher calling or blessing in Christ for our day, but instead places a completely different, counter-Christian agenda above it. All of the contents and the articles of the new covenant are shoved aside so that the things torn down by Christ and the apostles are rebuilt under a false design and pretext (Gal. 2:18). This false design is earthly kingdom over God’s heavenly, just as the unbelieving Jews always hoped and longed for from the very beginning in their misapprehension of God’s truths and ways which are so different from their ways! Today’s half-breed of Christians strive to fulfill this Jewish hope which still rejects any truly spiritual relationship with the risen Savior. And because they align themselves with such earthly values and visions, they too miss out in very great part on the heavenly blessing that Christ fulfills within his chosen people in the new covenant today.
Yet the holy Scriptures still stand supreme in God’s plan. The nation that murdered the servants, the prophets, the apostles, and the holy men of God, and then the Author of life himself (Rom. 11:3; Rev.10:7; 11:18; 17:6; 18:20,24; 19:2; 16:6-7; Acts 3:15) has been destroyed (Rev. 17:16 and chapter 18), and will no longer nor ever again be so accepted, favored, and blessed of God, just as the Revelation states, no matter what foolish men who hold the real truth in derision and unrighteousness may want to proclaim against it today to their own downfall, destruction, and damnation. How they can reconcile their own depraved view of things to the following Scriptures defies all reason, but somehow, in the darkness of their own minds, they concoct their own witches brew of deception for the unwise and the unwary to accept.
The Scriptures tell us that the Jews are of the synagogue of Satan--Rev. 2:9; 3:9. The Scriptures also tell God’s people to come out of her, Babylon the Great, Mother of All Prostitutes and Obscenities in the World who was drunk with the blood of God‘s holy people who were witnesses for Jesus--Rev. 17:3-6; 18:4-6, 24; II Co. 6:17. She, Jerusalem, is termed the great prostitute or harlot--Rev. chs 17-19--just as God called her in numerous places in the Old Testament, when she rejected Him and his holy prophets who were sent to her to warn her of her impending doom if she continued to defy God. God’s people are warned to leave her, lest they be partakers of her sins. The kings of earth wage war against the Lamb--Rev. 17:14 and are not of his kingdom (Rev. 1:6). But God’s servants will worship and serve Him--Rev. 22:3. They will serve Him by standing with Him for the truth in this day today when the truth is not so popular nor politically correct in the minds of such misguided and depraved people who are serving the antichrist so openly and unabashedly today.
The way of truth is not complicated. It is clear and straightforward without all of the intricate twists and turns devised by crooked men today to confuse and to confound the unsuspecting. Those who love God and his truths will follow it and will find Him there in his palatial dining hall where they may forever sup with Him on high.
The rest will follow the “train wreck” strewn everywhere around us today. They will go into perdition, where their worm never dies (Mark 9:44-48). For they refuse to admit that God’s key to the future for the last 2000 years has always been Christ and his new covenant. The inspired sacred Scriptures clearly show us the reality of this in the complete unfolding of the mystery of God’s great plan in Christ. It is firmly established in the Word of truth and on high in his glorious resurrection and reign, and it will always stand. They ignore this at their own eternal peril.
Many today all over the world long for such a clear, holy, and righteous message instead of such horrendous heresies that the modern church steeps herself in today and then spreads abroad for consumption. Truly, the day is perilous, as very few today see any necessity whatsoever to get it right! The majority, it seems, lack such godly calling and discernment. No matter what, to their perverse reasoning, everything else rises over the new covenant guidelines. To them, God’s priority has not been the fulfilling mystery of the new covenant and its having made all things new, but the far more mediocre agenda of antichrist today.

In Him Is Depth of Riches Untold

In Him Is Depth of Riches Untold
In my last installment, dated July 26, 2008, I was led to a discussion of God’s Wondrous Mystique. His mystique, or air of mystery and reverence, I do hope is still around out there somewhere today. Perhaps it still is, in some of the less progressive older Protestant denominations who still cling to such things as the Westminster Confession of Faith, and the Protestant Catechisms, which can still offer to the new kinds of churches in their need today a great amount of the wisdom of the ages from sacred Writ. I still see in these wonderful documents an open inroad into the deeper things of God (see I Co. 2:9-10). Today, however, many hold back from them in slavish fear, so afraid to shake up their more shallow, superficial take and understanding of the Scriptures. I know they don’t want to hear me say this, but it really is true! So many today pride themselves on so very little from the Lord, when so much more is so readily available at hand for want of serious desire. And so, today also, many are hurting and down-in-the-dumps because their hungering spirits have not found sufficient sustenance from on high.
The Scriptures are very emphatic on one thing, namely, that this is not a normal situation. For instead of dearth, the Scriptures, as God’s mouthpiece or council--indeed, his very Word of truth to us, offer us something far greater, and in great and massive abundance. So why are we in poverty still, anxiously awaiting something far greater and more glorious still than we seem to be able to lay hold of for today?
The sacred Word proclaims to us the depth of the riches to be found in Christ (Rom. 11:33). In Him is “joy unspeakable and full of glory” (I Pet. 1:8). We become his own special possession (Eph. 1:14) when we come to Him, if indeed we truly do come, and as children of our high King Jesus we ought to come into such wondrous things bestowed as on the children of highest royalty, on the children of light! So why don’t we?
This is a most serious question for us to ponder today, for it has a specific cause, just as all things do, and the effect is devastating. If there is a paradise, then where is it? Do we just need more supernatural help after we have prayed ourselves into a stupor, perhaps, or some such thing like this that defies our understanding? But one thing remains for us to consider still, and perhaps still again, if we would. We run ourselves ragged with endless rounds of churchgoing, but where are we still where it all counts in the end, in the inner man?
But one monumental thing remains untapped still! We have one other great and deep resource, and we can lay claim upon it at any and all hours, day and night, for want of a little desire and effort on our own part. So much of God’s Word has come under critical analysis of the wrong kind today, and for decades, and this has left us in ever greater desolation. The wise man discerns the problems, and takes appropriate action to correct the error, instead of piling just more and more error on top of it. The Holy Bible is called the Word of truth (II Tim. 2:15). And so, in all of the critical dissecting of it today, we must come back to this one cornerstone, recognizing our human frailty, and go deeper still to find that glorious fulfillment that He promises to all who love Him. To neglect what God has so freely and bounteously bestowed upon us is never an option. We must claim his resources so freely placed at our disposal if we would ever find the way into the glorious deliverance that He has already brought to us. And those resources are more powerful than is the enemy’s power to destroy!
You see, God has not hopelessly complicated the way. Each one of us can find it when we make a small effort out of our great love for Him who bought us with his own precious blood. He does not withhold his rich blessings to any of us who gladly sit at his feet and hear Him out, up close and personal! We have been provided the open door to his heavenly throne room, and we can come boldly there. His holy Word supplies the roadmap. It is contained in his new covenant of grace. It comprises his Gospel, the Good News. It is the Good News of happiness. And it is his miraculous gift for all who truly believe! In this is his great power to heal all of mankind’s present ills that so badly need fixing today.
Our politicians talk a lot about diplomacy today, but lack God’s gift. He is the greatest diplomat of all time! It is now up to real Christians to present Him in all of his love and majesty to a world trembling and about to teeter over the edge of oblivion. If the Christian is a true believer, then he must arise to the occasion now, and take God at his Word, for his talents and efforts are very badly needed. What answer will we give to God if we do not heed the call to spiritual arms and action? Seriously, we are missing the mark of the high calling of God in Jesus Christ (Phil. 3:14) if we continue down the road we have been traveling, little thinking of the importance and great significance of his new covenant. For it supplies that badly needed safety net that prevents us from slipping backward, as we see today, unfortunately.
Yes, backward! Backward we go into the beggarly elements in the Jewish law system of unbelief that Christ did away with completely almost 2000 years ago now. Your American taxpayer dollars in the tens of millions every day supply it with the energy to go to war against Christ, as we have picked our favored few among all the nations of the world today. As God does not do, so do we today! And the church today dreams on as the true Gospel is continually threatened! America desperately needs to wake up, before it is forever too late!
Wake up, sleepy Christian! Come alive for Christ! The hour is long spent, and you need to go to work for the Master, lest it is forever too late for you to do so!
Begin now to gain great light from on high. There Is A Kingdom provides an extremely helpful beginning. Anita Whalley wrote it so that this faltering civilization might have a chance to turn things back around to God, instead of helping build a human temple that sacrifices animals instead as the wave of the future. God already provided his everlasting sacrifice in Jesus, once and for all time, and brought all of that to a final end forever! It’s really time to start paying attention! It is time to stop doing wrong! It is time to get it all together in the right way prescribed in the holy Scriptures! NOW!

God’s Wondrous Mystique

The last session, dated 7/2/08, left us pondering some questions still needing answers, such as when do we come into Christ’s new covenant, what God expects of us, and how we can find his fullness of blessing. My personal opinion, and conclusion sees that we must look even further into God Himself if we are ever to find an adequate answer to such questions. I think that we have to look further into an area that I like to term God’s special mystique.
Now what, do you suppose, do I mean by that? Well I would define this word, in keeping with Miriam Webster’s dictionary, as that air of mystery and reverence that develops around someone, like God, as we come ever closer to Him. It would likely be also as we get to know Him a bit better. One might say that it is his special appeal that He reveals to us through the workings of his new covenant, especially. It is in his new covenant that He really reveals Himself to us in a number of very appealing ways.
It is, of course, in the things that He has done on our behalf therein especially that makes Him our dear Father. In this relationship He bestows on us his overcoming victory that is so completely tied into his dear Son Jesus and all that He did on our behalf, so that we could be reunited to God the Father.
The Father sent the Son to die in the sinner’s place. We read in Romans 5:6-9:
“For when we were yet without strength, in due time Christ died for the ungodly. For scarcely for a righteous man will one die: yet peradventure for a good man some would even dare to die. But God commendeth his love toward us, in that, while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us. Much more then, being now justified by his blood, we shall be saved from wrath through him.” (See also through v. 17.)
If this one great and selfless action does not win us to Him, then we most likely can never be won, and will spend eternity forever without Him. For we cannot belong to Him if we cannot ever love Him enough to come to Him and let Him bear our load of sins as He came to do for us.
The third Person of the Holy Trinity is the Holy Spirit. It is He who works within us to melt our stony, rebellious hearts, to quicken us and give us spiritual life. He must do this on our behalf, for we, in the natural man, have all fallen under Adam, our first parents. And so we are very helpless without God. In us dwells no good thing (Romans 7:18. See all of ch. 7.), nor any righteousness (Rom. 3:10-20).
And so we must come unto Him if we would gain the things that we lack. It is in Him that we are reborn from on high in the spiritual sense, and He gained the victory for us before God the Father. It is in his victory that we gain the victory that so eludes us. It is in Him that we gain eternal life.
This is where we come into the new covenant. It is all of his work on our behalf that brings us there, and none of our own. Thus is the very special mystique and appeal of our great and loving God. What of the other pagan gods of men’s minds would die for the lost creation, and redeem it back unto Himself? No more of endless pain in hellfire for those who love Him. Ah, no. In this is hope! He invites us to linger long upon this, and to savor it as his heavenly breezes lure the starving spirit into the most enchanting and romantic land of his undying love and kind mercy to the lost.
Bethlehem’s child came here to bring us into his life more abundant (Jo. 10:10, Phil. 1:26, Eph 3:20, Titus 3:6), and home to his kingdom on high. It is in this that we can happily linger long in his green pastures, as the sheep of his fold. The sacred Scriptures provide such a recourse, and lead us along the straight and narrow way of his new covenant!. Here is the Gospel essence! Here is the center and core of new life in Christ! Through the auspices of his new covenant He leads us into new life at its very best and most wonderful at no cost to us but at all cost to Him, who in transcendent splendor reaches down to us from heaven’s throne room and bids us come up higher to his fresher, purer place of comfort and rest (Mt. 11:28-29).
This is that golden city set upon Zion’s hill where lost sinners can come and drink deeply of his refreshing waters and never thirst again (Jo. 4:13-15).
It is this mystical quality of this kind and loving God who stoops so far down to rescue perishing men in the desert place of earth. In this is set into motion the grandest mystique that ever a mortal could find on earth! This is not a mere shrine or grotto set up by men as an imitation that they claim as the real thing. It far surpasses any and all of man’s attempts to provide some imitation that can never reach as far as the things of God that the truth of his Word reveal to us. It is paradise found in all of the provision of his great, effusive love that takes us upward “to ride upon the high places of the earth” (Isa. 58:14), and up further still into that heavenly land of magnanimous spaciousness with Him who does nothing in a small way at all!
God had a great plan in sending his dear Son to this sin-darkened earth. We must not shortchange this in any wise, for it is our very lifeline! His new covenant is not something that we have heard much spoken of, and this is our great loss! The world will never realize the full wonder of God’s plan nor feel the great, winning mystique that draws us ever closer to the God that the angels adore without that vital work in the new covenant! And the world will flounder in its misguided directions today if it chooses not to care. For in this one credential the church will come into its own in Christ. And so it must attend to this without further delay, for without it it is defenseless against Satan’s arrows aimed at its very heart today.

In Christ Is Fullness of Blessing

In Christ Is Fullness of Blessing

The way of Christ, it has been said, is the way of the cross. It is a way that not many mere mortals can endure, left all on their own to somehow find that way within themselves. And of course, God knows all about this. Yet there appears such a demand from on high in Scripture to take up your cross, and follow Christ (Mk. 10:21, etc.). So what else can we find in sacred Scripture that would offer us some further guidance and light to lead us along our faltering way to God, wherein the way would become lighter, and easier to bear for those of us who need further reassurance from God in light of such a seemingly impossible demand? Maybe we need further assurance that He really does exist! That is, He needs to prove Himself somehow by some special sign. Can there be such a thing from God, besides all of the externals that we see all around us in creation that should give us confidence in the Creator, God?
The answer is that God knows our disadvantage, our frame, as it were. He does not leave us to such consternation and turmoil, as many men would do in their impatient assessments and projections about Him from the natural realm. And also about us, as we stand looking down upon our own deficiency in the light of such high calling from on high.
He sends us the clearest messages directly from the pages of sacred Writ that fills in the gaps for us when we allow them the opportunity to do so. Yet, what is sacred Writ except another one of those externals that seems not to reach us closely enough to help us?
When we care enough to study to show ourselves approved of God (II Tim. 2:15) as his faithful workmen, the gaps get filled in in such a splendid manner that we discover his miracle bestowed where before there seemed to be nothing there for us. All of a sudden, in a remarkable instant in time, He proves Himself to us in his supernatural Word come down to us from on high. We get our first glimpse of this when we first come to Christ and accept Him as our Savior. But how do we really go further on with Him and gladly take Him as Lord of our life? It is his just right to demand of us his lordship over us, for without Him we would not even exist! He is the God of answers, and so, if He provided to us a Savior, then surely He supplies all of our other needs in Christ (Phil. 4:19). It is Jesus Christ who comes into our lives when we acknowledge our need for Him. With his coming He brings us great relief, gladness, and joy.
And such as this is the great wonder and majesty of God’s works and spell upon the life of the true believer. When we gladly desire to spend time with his Word, He knows our desire for Him, and so He reveals Himself beyond the things of this world. We begin to see how He works in multidimensional ways that we could never before have fathomed. This multidimensional aspect of God’s working comes into great focus in the new covenant that Christ came to give to his lost world. It is uniquely his new covenant that brings us further along the way like nothing else can ever do. It works in keeping with the ministry of his Holy Spirit, and confirms his truths to our own slow hearts and minds. We come quickly into Christ’s covenant when…
Hmmm? Now what is that all about, can you suppose? I hope, in my time of my need that it does not demand more of me than I can handle! Surely God doesn’t expect me to…
How can I find his fullness of blessing?
There Is A Kingdom reveals God’s inside story of his magnificent workings in this very important issue. It is available under the author’s name, Anita Whalley at Amazon.com.

Paradise found in
God’s Word. Read it for yourself, and you will see!

But beyond this, wherein lies God's special, secret place of incomparable blessing that speaks to all of our spiritual needs, we also find the way of peace and blessing in our troubled world here below, that is to say, on earth, as it is in heaven, or almost heaven-oriented.

How is this possible, with no seeming end to the suffering and pains of wars that ensued from something so unfamiliar to us? How can we regain our footing, when so much today seems to be sinking sand all around us? What went so very wrong?

So what can make it all right again?

That's the secret of why God is so very wonderful, and well worth getting to know better! Step by step He shows us the way, which is lightsome, and not at all grievous. For He is the God of hope and glory.

You'll love what He has done for you, and you'll want to keep on reading, just to know how He did so very much more than you first realized, and why, and, oh my goodness, just to come to up-close and personal, to feel the touch of His dear Hand in yours at last.

In this day of trouble all around us, we can find the place of clear heavenly light. It's not so far away at all, and within our reach if we really want it! "Wisdom comes only to those who seek it" one wise person once commented, regarding how things really are.

Someone else once said that "Today's gloom may be only a passing cloud veiling the radiance of tomorrow's joys."

Seek out the Master Artist and Creator of everything good, and you will indeed find His very best. There Is A Kingdom will take you there!
