God’sBenefit Package for the Elect
David said in Psalms 116.12 “What shall I render to the Lord
For all His benefitstoward me?
13 I will take up the cup of salvation,
And call upon the name of the Lord.
14 I will pay my vows (our only payment due) to the Lord
Now in the presence of all His people”.
It is Us the Elect that are called out of the world to secure our place “in Christ”. Being found “in Him”, having his righteousness, and his right doing. Meaning we have a better way of getting things done.
It is important for us to know how to appropriate our benefitspackage. “That we may know the thingsthat God has freely given us” to secure our residence with Him, using His machinations for our needs and short comings and not the counterfeits of the god of this age or crafty men.
We need to know how to effectively manage and use our tools from God, lest we be classified as “lazy stewards” of “the mysteries” of God”. It is required of a steward to be found faithful. Since God gave us His things, let Him not find them dormant.
You can be sure you will be tested, so make sure you correctly know how to apply what God has given you. You are gonna need them. Even as Paul said to the Ephesians “ Therefore take up the whole armor of God, that you may be able to withstand in the evil day”. How can you do that if you don’t know what you have?
You must know word, Gods word. God calls His Son Word. In the beginning was the word, the word was with God and the word was God. It is when we adopt the things the Father says to call them our own, we become the adopted. And Jesus said “I will not leave you orphans” so He sent His comforter and His helper to complete that task. We are never alone.
Being adopted in this way we partake of the fullness of the Godhead body. We are complete in them and need no earthly surrogates to help. What we have are given to us for our benefit. This is our benifits package. You cannot add to it or take away from it. You reject it or accept it “to the degree you are able”.
God did not leave you orphans or forsaken to fend for yourself. He said “I will never leave you or forsake you”. We know this is true. We just gave you a clue on what you should use to overcome your tests. Word, Gods word He has written on your heart.
Like Satan said to Jesus in the wilderness “has God really said?” How well can you answer? How well do you know scripture?
God puts Us the Elect in precarious situations to see if We use the world’s safety nets in our apparent shortcomings, or if we apply God’s provisions made known to us in His word, being the collection of the Fathers words whom we call “The Son” and “The Only Begotten”. It is He that is the only element that came forth from the Father that completes us. He makes Himself known to us by words, which is why He is the Word of God before and after “He became flesh and dwelled among us’.
What the words describe are our choices and our options from our service providers from God, for our life, our health and and our safety plans for expressing godliness. Scripture says “when we see Him we shall be like Him”. This is how you do it.
And having found the coverages, providers and perveyors of the things of this age lacking, we accept the terms and conditions of The New Covenant signed with the blood of Christ as sufficient. In this is way God is our sufficiency. Even as Paul said “And God is able to make all grace abound toward you, that you, always having all sufficiency in all things,may have an abundance for every good work.”
Because of this, let us be found under God’s coverages and His service providers, that He makes known to us in scripture and clearly defined by the training of Gods Holy Spirit. That we may be found “in him” fully sanctified and protected, under His covering, and not in another health or safety provider. For “our God is a jealous God”. And He doesn’t respond kindly to us if we give ourselves to others for their services because our God is a jealous God, He’s got us covered.
It was Gods Holy Spirit in His Son who said “oh Jerusalem how I weep and morn for you. I would’ve gathered you as a mother hen gathers her chicks but you were not willing”. The question is, are you?
That is what “sanctified” means. That is why He says “be ye Holy as I am Holy”. To be of another sort, unearthly, putting on the things of God. To “put on Christ”. You can be sure if Jesus had, or did something, we can have it and do it too. And we should be able to do it as He did it because “as He is, so are we in this world” according to scripture. Not as He was when “He became flesh and dwelled among us” but we can be like Him as He is now in His pre-incarnate embodiment of “Spirit and Truth”. John 4.24 Let us be found here. This is the gift.
God forbid that I be found outside of His provisions and coverages by stepping underneath another’s. That is what spiritual adultery is. To put your trust in another provider.
Like with Adam and Eve in the garden. Having partaken of another, when He was tested. God said “Adam, where are you?” Adam thought, oops! And he felt ashamed for turning from God. Having believed anothers words for god-likeness, Satan, who said “You shall become like God” and actually took that likeness from Adam and Eve and now exercises himself as god over the unsuspecting.
That was mankind’s doing not Gods, and the reason a man had to undo it. This is the reason “the Son became flesh and dwelled among us. Let us be found in His lineage and not Adams.
It wasn’t so much that Adam put on, or subscribed to another provider and coverer, he did that too, but when he did that, he put off God’s protection to do so.You cannot partake of God’s table and demons. They just don’t mix. And don’t anger the Creator God for seeking protections elsewhere.
Adams discourse with Satan was a type of intercourse and made him feel cheap and naked. He was un-covered. He stepped out from underneath Gods safety and was exposed. The very thing he thought he got, is what he did not get. When you turn from God to various other providers, you don’t get the next best thing, but the exact opposite. That is why repent means do an about face and go the other way, to turn.
That is why in our day there are more insurance coverers, health care providers and services, but there is more sickness death and disease, anguish, depression and suicide than any time in the history of mankind. So much so in fact that these and other types of providers are counterfeits of things God has given us, that keep us from God.
These new providers are gobbling up most of the efforts of humanity measured by money, and turned into never ending payments for their profit. This is slavery. But don’t worry. When you really need to use them, they have ways to make you sicker, to kill you quicker. That’s the plan. Population reduction.
“In the day that you eat you shall surely die” were the words of God to Adam. And so too for all those that follow his lead, started their life of being dead to God, of trusting in others for their life, safety, health and quality of life, one contract at at a time, one payment at a time, and by accepting terms and conditions one click at a time, untill you are fully enveloped in the worlds safety nets associated with the www.eye in the sky and not Gods.
You are in the world and of the world. Of this we are called to come out of “lest you partake of her sins and receive of her judgments” and truely trust in the living, loving God.
You have insulted God one rejection after another. Because you are covered by the Baal’s of the day, the counterfeits and competitor service providers, but who serves whom?
You can’t understand the things God has for you. You are dead to the things of God. In the day you eat you shall die? Yes, many experience a slow death and denial being blind to Him who is “At Hand” ever ready to save you from all your woes, not just your last breath.
Everytime you accept another’s services to make yourself complete, the very thing you think you got, you didn’t get. If you did, you wouldn’t be beholden to them. You wouldn’t make continuel payments, or empowerments to them. That’s what payments do. God’s things are free, but you empower the competitor and insult the true God who made you “in His image and likeness”. But you would have none of it. Even as Satan said, surely you shall not die, but you shall become godlike, without God.
Satan knows that if you do a disconnect from God, he owns you. If he can lure you away from godliness according to the gospel, he can offer you counterfeits. So many so much in fact a collection of all his lies believed by others equals “the dillusion with all lying signs to be wondered, if possible to decieve the Elect. Why? Because it can be described as being godlike, being all knowing and all controlling. Hmm, that sounds like “the internet of things). But it cannot fool us who know that they have the replicant.
So if your provider is growing and getting bigger? You got the lie. This is “The wheat and tares mature together” God told us about. Are you Wheat? Or tares.
Here is a rule of thumb; If you are paying for it, it is not of God. If you are praying for it, it likely is, if it is according to faith in the Spirit. You cannot serve God and money. Even as James says, “you have not because you ask not. And when you do ask, it is to use it on your carnal nature”, showing that you are taking God’s word out of context. You cannot serve God and Mammon, and you cannot buy the things from God the owner of all things. For that it an insult to offer to God any sort of payment. “Your money perishes with you”. Even your own good works. For when you do that, you insult the Father and the Son because if your best efforts on your best day could please God, Jesus would NOT have signed The New Covenant with His blood. He spilled His blood so that you wouldn’t have to and to make good on His promise to provide for you a safe return to Himself. Which we do now if you are willing. That is what Gods word provides. The gospel with eternal Glory. No one else provides this product.
Even as Christ said at the cross “Father, if their be any other way, please let this task pass by me. Without a redirect from the Father, Jesus went forward with the plan, for you to be coveredby His plans and His coverings. Like abiding under the wings of The Almighty. As it was in the beginning.
Isn’t that what Jesus did? He said “oh Jerusalem! The one who stones and kills the prophets and all who are sent to you (including Himself). Oh how I would’ve coveredyou as a mother hen gathers her chicks, but you would have none of Me. Now this destruction is upon you”. Showing us that they thought they were “in the good hands of God, but we’re really under the care of another. But they too were exposed to the very dangers they thought they were protected from.
If you have found a provision given to you in scripture, and you have the faith, then use it, because “God rewards those that diligently seek him”. Since we in our humanity know how to give good gifts to our children, how much greater gifts do we get from our heavenly father?
If you see a provision in scripture and don’t use it and you look to others, you insult the gift giver. “For if the word spoken to Angels proof steadfast, and every transgression and disobedience received its just reward, what makes us think we will escape such judgment if we neglect such a great salvation”. Salvation, meaning saving, are Gods interventions for us on a daily basis. To have a dependency in Him and the things He has thought and said about us, to help us, to be there for us, to make us complete, with no gaps in coverages! We are complete in Him, no exposures, no other dependancies. We depend on Him. We truely trust God.
“What shall I render to the Lord
For all His benefitstoward me?
13 I will take up the cup of salvation,
And call upon the name of the Lord.
Part 2. The test.
There iscertain retribution for those who have been opened up to know the mysteries of God and then walk away from them and count them as common things.
Jesus commended the widow for trusting in God for giving her last two pennies away. It was because she knew that she had a more enduring treasure.
The principals for using that treasure is that you have no back up plan for “just in case” as if Gods providers have lapse of coverages.
The widow gave what she had because she knew how to activate her real treasure. That it was opporational and active then, even as it is for us today, if we have that same kind of faith.
The way we aquire is not money.
Jesus Christ claimed to do the works of the Father, because He is The Word of God, and when we do as Jesus did with His words, the Father listens and answers us too. Because we come in the name of His Son, we are cut from the same cloth. “Even the angels see the face of the Father in these little ones” and obey them too.
This is what it means to be in Christ. God’s Words that come out of our mouths sounds like His Son because when we express these requests by faith, that pleases the Father. That is the conduit to receive a provision from God. And because God and Jesus Christ speak a word and it is so, so do we if we do it according to the principles of faith. God accepts no other form of payment.
Even as James says “a perfect person bridles their mouth, who also said to those who did not ask in faith, let not that person recieve anything from the Lord. But some of us ask and receive to move mountains “be thou moved into the sea and it shall be done for you”. So you know there are no obstacles too big to stop you.
Let’s look at our example of Jesus when “He became flesh and dwelled among us” before He finished His task and returned to the Father. Even as Jesus said to the Father “Father I have completed the task you have given Me. I have manifested My Word to those whom you have given Me out if the world and they have kept it. They know truly that I came forth from you, that I return to you, and that they see Me again no more” at least in a carnal way, yet they see Me as I (truly) am. An exact image of You because He who has seen Me has seen the Father. As long as they are not fixed upon the flesh, they can know Me, and they can know You”. And because God is Spirit and God is truth and seeketh such? Such are we. We take Him at His Word. We see Him as He is, and become like Him. And because We accept Him as He is, He accepts us and become the amalgamation of that one.
This is how and where we go to receive, assimilate and appropriate the things of God, so that we can enjoy the reality of who He is, and the blessedness of apprehending the gift of God according to Godliness. Even as John said of Jesus and us, that “in Him dwells the fullness of the Godhead body, and you are complete in Him who is Head over all powers and principalities”. This is true in this age and every age. You are only hindered because you don’t have the faith or the understanding. Faith comes by hearing the word of God because we become that Word, we read to become like God’s Son who “in the beginning was the Word, the Word was with God, and the Word was God”.
For us we receive Him in that form, we receive Him as He is and we are like Him. His Word in us equals our likeness of Him. Even as Christ condemned some saying “if you abide in Me and My words abide in you, you shall ask what you want, and it shall be done. Here are your tools to implement what God has given us. This is the currency we need to acquire these things. Not paper instruments with pictures of dead men, but to reiterate word, God’s Word, God’s Son in us. He sees Jesus. In this way we are in Christ, the owner and executor of The Estate, we are joint heirs of the Glory. And we beholding as in a mirror the Glory of the Lord, were transformed into His self-same image from the Glory, to the Glory as by His Spirit. That verse is expired in us. And because God is eternal, and God is complete, we don’t have to wait for anything for the allocation of this but perfect faith. Isn’t this what Paul acknowledged his purpose was? To bring us to this point? 13 till we all come to the unity of the faith and of the knowledge of the Son of God, to a perfect man, to the measure of the stature of the fullness of Christ; can you receive this?
For the nay sayers and deniers, you haven’t really got it until it comes out of your own mouth. But here is the promise to those who can receive this.
When He comes, in that Day, to be glorified in His saints and to be admired among all those who believe, because our testimony among you was believed.
Come join us in examining and reciting these truths until you too are renewed in the spirit of your minds with scripture to become like us because there is no other way to the Father and there is no other way to implement the things, He has given us. Lest any of us fall short of the Glory of God, because that is what has been given to us.
The things that stand between you and the full acquisition of the benefits and coverages provided to us through the Christ of the cross, is by trusting in others and by not being renewed in the spirit of your minds and accepting all the gifts of salvation. For the time is coming when Rev 22.7
It that day many will say “Lord Lord, didn’t we do many good deeds in your name?” And maybe so, but you did not receive the provisions I have for you. Not only did you push the products of the gods of this age, but you did it in My Name, says the Lord. As if God has any association with such. You cannot partake of the Lords table and the table of demons. Even as the Lord says “come out from among them and be ye clean. Then I will receive you. (2 Corinthians 7.1)
You see if you are waiting for a second coming savior to deliver you from the gods of this age, you are deceived. That makes the Christ of the cross a liar. The Son of God came into the world to save is a hoax if He indeed did not accomplish that. And anyone who is waiting for the next Jesus to save them believes a lie and insults God and His Son who spilled His blood and implemented the last and final contract for all our needs called “The New Covenant”.
There is only one saving act and that is the cross of scripture is untrue because “God sent His Son into the world not to condemn those in the world but to save them”. And the Spirit testifies of the words of Jesus that “I go to the Father and you see Me again no more, at least as a human. Because if Jesus has to come again to perform another act to secure your place at the Throne with The Father, His previous Testimony is a lie. And that cannot be because lies are the attributes of Satan, because he has lied from the beginning and he is the father of lies.
So we know the things that are offered to us in this age for our safety, health, happiness and longevity, are illusions at best because “all the promises of God are yes and amen “in Christ” and not ‘in the world’.
So we must understand our distinction. We are those distinguish among Christ as being His guests and co-inhabitants of the Father, enjoying even now the things they enjoy being complete in themselves with no need for others, and so are we. That is why John says in his first epistle.
“That which was from the beginning, which we have heard, which we have seen with our eyes, which we have looked upon, and our hands have handled, concerning the Word of life— 2 the life was manifested, and we have seen, and bear witness, and declare to you that eternal life which was with the Father and was manifested to us— 3 that which we have seen and heard we declare to you, that you also may have oneness with us; and truly our oneness is with the Father and with His Son Jesus Christ. 4 And these things we write to you that [a]your joy may be full”. And we are absolutely ecstatic.
So let us observe how Jesus implemented His benefits package so that we can learn to implement it ourselves as well.
Jesus Christ was tested in the wilderness to see if He would give in to the god of this age, Satan, whom we call the tempter. You see Jesus Christ had to go through a series of testings to help others through theirs. As it says in Hebrews, “For in that He Himself has suffered, being tempted, He is able to aid those who are tempted.” In this way Christ qualified Himself as the “Author and finisher of our faith” concluding that He is with us in our journey as the closer.
Hebrews also said of the Christ that He “was in all points tempted as we are, without sin. (Meaning He mastered sin) 16 Let us therefore come boldly to the throne of grace, that we may obtain mercy and find grace to help in time of need”.
So we can understand that we are not alone with our journey, and because we can go to the storehouse of all things, being the Throne room of God, we can “find grace and help” and whatever tools we need to help us in our transformation.
I know some understand God’s throne by the thunder and lighting, but we have a simpler access point. Even as Jesus said while He was in the flesh “ask the Father anything in My name and He will do it, showing us that we have everything we need for any test that comes our way. Even as Peter affirms that “that according to these exceedingly prescious promises, we have been given everything that pertains to life and godliness through the knowledge of Him who had called us”.
And from Ephesians “we have been blessed with every spiritual blessing in the Heavenlies”.
So we see with Jesus in his wilderness test not succumbing to the god of this age but drawing upon the riches and promisesory provisions of God’s Holy Writ. That if God said a thing and Jesus repeated it as His own, we can be certain that if we reiterate His sayings too, that we would have the same results. Today these things are fulfilled in your hearing, because today is the day of salvation without surrogates.
Doesn’t scripture say that we are joint heirs of the things In Christ? That “it’s the Father’s good pleasure to give us the Kingdom” with its safety features, health prosperity and fullness of joy?
The Kingdom of God is at hand!
