Life Is in the Seed

When you think of a seed, do you think about the life that is contained inside the tiny package.? It's just a hard, shriveled up casing that isn't too impressive.

Look at a sunflower seed for instance.

It is triangular shaped, grey and white striped and has a hard surface. Yet when it is planted, it grows to a tall, majestic flower with golden petals that gives the flower its name.

Words are similar to seeds. The word "bodacious" doesn't say too much by itself. However, when you apply the word to your soulmate, it takes on something precious. "My wife is bodacious."

Jesus tells a parable in Mark 4. He says that a sower goes out to sow seed. By themselves, one seed isn't much. However, scattered in good soil, one tiny seed yields 100 times itself. Why? Because the seed contains the essentials of life. Jesus goes on to explain that the seed represented the Word of God. Yes, there's life in the word of God.

The Real Word Is Life

The Apostle John calls Jesus, the word. When he spoke in Genesis 1, life as we know it began. He spoke everything into existence. Again John says, ". . .apart from him nothing came into being that has come into being" (1:3b).

Not only did he create life initially, he brought life with him when he came into the world. He spoke life. The words he used still contain life.2000 years later. John says of him, "In him was life, and the life was the light of men" (1:4).

Jesus said that the word was the seed. There's life in the seed. Therefore, it seems logical that to use the words of Jesus brings life to the world.

Reconciliation

I'm not much into religious terms. However, Paul writes in 2 Corinthians 5:18 that God reconciled us to himself through Christ. It helps then to know what that word means.

Reconcile means to change mutually. God changed you to be just like Jesus. A simple way of saying this is that he gave you a divine nature.

He gave you a nature just like Christ's. Paul said in verse 17 of this chapter that you had been given a new nature. Jesus made you a new "creature."

Not only did he change you to be like Jesus, but he gave you the ministry of telling others how they too can get a divine nature just like yours. The life remains in the seed even today! He gave you the word and ministry of reconciliation.

No Trespasses

Have you ever thought, I can't tell someone else about Jesus? I have sin in my life. How can I tell someone else to get the sin out of their life?

Paul says, "Your sin is taken care of. Namely that God was in Christ reconciling the world to himself, not counting their trespasses against them" (2 Corinthians 5:19a).

Why does God keep no record of sin? Two reasons:

1. If you aren't in Christ, haven't been reconciled or changed to a divine nature, God doesn't have to keep a record of your sin. You're hopelessly lost!

2. If you are in Christ, been reconciled or changed into a divine nature, you are eternally kept. God says,"Their iniquities and trespasses I have taken and cast into the middle of my great big nowhere (Jeremiah 31:34).

Again, the life is in the seed. If you have the seed living in you, you have life! There's no need to keep a record of your sin or trespasses.


Putting It Together

Words contain life because they are seeds. Jesus came into the world as the word. He demonstrated how life could be obtained. He set the example of life lived by allowing God to direct your every move. God through the Holy Spirit shows you the road to life. Not only this, but he gives life to others through you.

Your ministry, directed by the Holy Spirit, brings life to others that you meet along the way. Also, living your life by the life of another allows you to experience the abundant life while you rest. No, you don't get to sit and watch the world go by. Rest means complete. Your ministry will be complete because the Holy Spirit directs you.

Who You Are Isn't Based on Performance with God. Who You Are Should Have A Direct Bearing on How You Perform.

A Door Open in Heaven

Door Standing Open

So often in life doors open and opportunities start. When the Apostle John sees his vision of the end of the church age, he writes, "After these things. . ."(Revelation 4:1).

After the church era in which we live no longer exists, the church will be taken away. Since you know that you are the church, guess who will be "caught up" when the door opens in heaven. That's right! You will be gone from all the strife, suffering, tears and hard work. Your opportunities for spiritual bliss begin.

When John sees a door standing open in heaven, he hears a voice like a trumpet saying come up here (v 1). Paul writes in 1 Corinthians 15:52b, ". . . for the trumpet will sound and the dead will be raised."

Voice Like a Trumpet

John hears a "voice like a trumpet." At the sound of the trumpet, the church will be gone. The "door" that John sees open becomes an avenue for the church to travel into the spiritual realm of heaven. The Lord says to John in Revelation 4:1b, ". . .come up here and I will show you what must take place after these things." We've determined that "after these things" represents the time when the church has been called out. Therefore, the "come up here" is the call for the church to go heavenward.

Recall if you will that the scripture says that heaven has 12 gates with three gates on each compass point side. These gates are never closed (Revelation 21:25). So the door opening in heaven represents a means for the believers to get from earth to heaven, not a door opening as we think of a door being opened.

What Is Shown First

John sees a throne whenever he arrives in heaven. I think that you will see the throne and God sitting on it the first thing. When your physical eyes close in death, your spiritual eyes will open and see your God sitting on his throne. John sees God as precious stones: a jasper and a sardis stone. And there was a rainbow around the throne, God's promise to mankind that the world wouldn't be destroyed again by water.

John also sees 24 lesser thrones with twenty elders sitting on these smaller thrones. These elders were dressed in white and have golden crowns on their heads. The elders are representative of two different ages of time. 12 of them represent the tribes of Israel and the Old Testament saints. The other 12 are the apostles who represent the New Testament church age.

There were flashes of lightnings, peals of thunder to indicate that judgment is about to take place. God sitting on the throne would be indicative of a judge. The tribulation that follows is horrendous. It's not a good time to be living on planet earth or any other planet for that matter.

There were seven lampstands before the throne that represents the seven spirits of God. Isaiah writes that Jesus has these seven spirits in 11:2. These seven spirits show the integrity of Jesus while he was on earth as a God/man.

A sea of glass appeared before the throne, clear as crystal. Also, there were four living creatures, created beings, before the throne. These created beings have six wings and are full of eyes all around. Their purpose day and night is to cry holy, holy, holy. It is their job to be sure that nothing unholy ever comes near God.

The Scroll with Seven Seals

In the hand of God was a scroll. The scroll was sealed with seven seals. The scroll is in reality the title deed to the earth. At the present time, Satan is lord over the earth. Adam gave him dominion over the earth whenever he disobeyed God and ate the fruit.

When the search goes out in heaven, on earth and under the earth for one who is worthy to break the seals and none is found, John weeps much. He knows the importance for the earth for the seals to be broken. God wants his creation back, and no one can be found to help.

However, one in heaven appears who can indeed break the seals. Notice also that a strong angel takes the scroll. Why a strong angel? If he is that strong and can't break the seals, then who can?

One of the elders told John to stop crying because there was one who could open the seals. He had earned the right because of the suffering he bore. The one is identified as the "Lion of the tribe of Judah." Already, we know who this is. It is Jesus!

John sees between the throne and the elders a lamb as if slain standing. The lamb looked as if it had been slain. However, the lamb had seven horns--power and authority perfected. The lamb had seven eyes as well--perfect vision to know all things. It also had the seven spirits of God--perfect knowledge and wisdom.

At this point all in heaven join in a great praise and worship session. They are worshiping the Lamb because he has the authority to break the seals and take back God's creation.

Another Purpose for the Open Door

The open door in heaven also represents the beginning of the tribulation period. The open door allows the angels who have been created for the very purpose to perform their duties as each seal is broken. The seals will be broken in chapter six of Revelation. All kinds of havoc take place as Jesus begins to break the seals.

Not only does the open door allow for the Seals to be broken, but as the last seal is broken, the trumpet judgments begin. There are seven of them, and the destructive force that takes place on the earth cannot be compared.

Then, following the trumpet judgments are seven bowl judgments. All the 21 judgments along with the 1000 year reign, return God's creation to the point it was when he looked at it and said, "It is very good."

Putting It Together

So you see that the open door of Revelation 4 allows the believers of the church age to go home. The opening becomes an avenue for the church age to end, the church to get into heaven and a way for the tribulation to begin.

When everything is complete, Satan will be defeated, God's creation will be returned to him, and then he will give everything to Christ. When Jesus said in Matthew that all authority had been given to him in heaven and earth, he truly meant it.

When Jesus said, "It is finished," his last words on the cross, he knew all the above would take place. He made the way for the door to open for you, for the church and for the whole world. Christ's work on the cross was more than a way for you to get out of hell and into heaven. He gave back to God his whole creation.

If you have questions or comments, leave them below. I'll get back really soon.

Who You Are Isn't Based on Performance with God. Who You Are Should Have A Direct Bearing on How You Perform.

Identified by Faith Kept by Grace

When I think about how hard I struggle with sin and giving glory to God, I have so much trouble accepting Paul’s statement from Romans 5:1a, “Therefore, having been justified by faith. . .”

 As you think about the definition of Justify, do you have trouble applying the definition to yourself? Justify means, "just as if I never sinned, or ever will sin again.” Does this definition define your life? For most believers and followers it surely doesn’t.

Yet, Paul writes about justification and applies it to your life. The only way you can gain favor with God comes from your spirit person being perfect. God doesn’t remember your sin(s). He has removed your sin, and he has put those sins into the middle of his great big nowhere. Doesn’t it amaze you that a sovereign God who knows everything can’t remember your sin? God isn’t a man who can lie. He’s God! He knows everything but he can’t remember your sin. He said he can’t. Accept his justification and be empowered to do ministry.

Peace with God

Another thing Paul tells you in verse 1, you have peace or favor with God. God is never out to get you. He plays on your team. He wants only good to happen. That’s why he sent Jesus. However, you live in a fallen world where Satan controls some of it. So things of the world may enter your life occasionally. Knowing that you are kept by grace gets you through the rough spots.

World peace may never happen, but your peaceful relationship with God can and does happen every minute. You can know that even in death you have peace. When your physical eyes close, your spiritual eyes open and you’re in the presence of greatness. You see yourself transformed into the image of the Trinity.

Guess what? That’s how God sees you NOW!

Gracefully Made

You chose to believe, had faith, that Jesus is who he says he is. He is your peace. It is in him you placed your faith. He. or his Spirit, becomes the one whom you follow without question. You give yourself completely to him, or do you? You know Jesus doesn’t want only weekend visits. He wants full custody. He’ll take your weekend visits, but full custody gets you all the benefits of his kingdom.

Your faith brings you into his grace. Here’s what most do not understand about grace.

GRACE GIVES YOU THE POWER AND DESIRE TO DO GOD’S WILL.

Your faith brings you to Christ by his wonderful grace, but it is by grace that you do your ministry. You are gracefully made. You have all the power you need to perform your ministry regardless of age—young or old. God, through his grace, gives you the desire to do ministry, too.

Paul says it this way, “the grace in which you stand.” That’s the power! You can stand firm planted in grace. Nothing can come close to you. You can only be defeated if you think you can. You have the power to stand.

However, and along with the power to stand, grace gives you the desire to serve. If you preach, you could preach for hours. You love it. But then, grace’s desire in you allows you to take the time to send text messages to a lonely teenager who has just lost a mate to suicide. That’s not a fun thing to do. However, grace gives you the desire to complete the task.

Grace goes with you as you visit a loved one in the hospital who is dying of cancer. That’s never fun or exciting. However, grace accompanies you, brings you through and lifts you beyond the pain and suffering caused.

You are gracefully made!

Kept by Grace

Not only does grace bring justification, right standing with God, grace keeps you justified. God’s grace keeps him from remembering your sin. God's grace allows him to cast your sin into the middle of his great big nowhere. It is because of his grace that you are able to stand in the hope of his glory.

Every second of your life as a follower of Christ, you are kept by his grace. The fiery darts of Satan bounce off you when you arm yourself with the knowledge of his grace. You are able to stand against any trial or temptation. Even when you cave in to sin, you still have grace on which to stand firm in your conviction that God has justified you.

If you are breathing, God has a purpose for you. His grace will give you the power and desire to carry out the mission he gives. His grace keeps you out of yet into. His grace can keep you out of temptation and sin. His grace keeps you into your ministry, his kingdom and ultimately into his heaven.

No matter what else happens in your life, you are kept by grace.

Rejoice in Glory

You walked into grace by your faith. Your grace causes you to rejoice in God’s glory. Grace brings you into a place of favor through your justification, and grace allows you to stand firm in belief and ministry. Further, knowing the power of grace allows much rejoicing in God’s glory.

You know God has glory, but do you know that you too have glory that you can rejoice in. Grace gives you hope that you can obtain to the glory of Jesus. Paul writes in 2 Corinthians 3:18, “But we all, with unveiled face, beholding as in a mirror the glory of the Lord, are being transformed into the same image from glory to glory, just as from the Lord, the Spirit.”

Because your eyes are veiled, now, you can only see God’s glory by your faith. However, as you mature and stand in grace, you begin to look like Christ. Every time you do something Christ like, you show the glory of God to those around.

Putting It Together

Your faith identifies you as a believer of Jesus. Your faith allows you to enter the grace of your Lord. His grace gives you the power and desire to do the will of Christ, and his grace allows you to walk hand and hand with Christ’s Spirit.

It is by God’s grace that you stand victorious over the enemy. Regardless of what the enemy tells you, you have won! Death has no hold on you because you have peace with God.

You are fearfully, wonderfully and gracefully made. You can stand confident in your abilities to do ministry, and you know his grace keeps you forever with him.

Who You Are Isn't Based on Performance with God. Who You Are Should Have A Direct Bearing on How You Perform.

Believer or Follower

In Matthew 28:18-20, "And Jesus came and said to them, All authority in heaven and on earth has been given to me. Go therefore and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, teaching them to observe all that I I have commanded you. And behold, I am with you always, to the end of the age."

Is it important to you in your ministry that Jesus says, "All authority in heaven and on earth has been given to me. . .?"

I think he is telling his disciples and us that we can go in his authority and make disciples. That's why it is called the "Great Commission." You are commissioned to go forth under the authority of another, in this case the authority of Jesus.

Another thing important from this command--this isn't a suggestion but a command--is that the Greek form of the three verbs are similar to our English version of the present participle form of the verb, the "ing" form,

• ·         Going
• ·         Baptizing 
• ·        Teaching.

Therefore Jesus says, "As you are going about your daily life use opportunities to make disciples. Once you make them, you can do the baptizing of them in the spirit and in water. Baptizing isn’t just the job of the pastor. You are commissioned to baptize disciples, too. And then you teach them how to be followers of Jesus. You do this by using the word of God and by example as well.

Basically, Jesus isn't saying to you that you must go to another country to keep the Great Commission. His words are present tense. As you go about your daily life, be intentional! Make and train others to be disciples.

Making disciples is intentional on your part. The total goal of the church becomes making disciples and training each one how to be a follower of Jesus.

Believer Verses Follower

Is there a difference between being a believer in or a follower of Jesus? There definitely is a difference. You can be a believer without being a follower. I have observed many believers  in church on Sunday morning who only warm a pew. They have no ministry other than going to church. Yes, they believe in Jesus, but do they allow him to direct their lives any other time?

A follower of Jesus allows the Holy Spirit to work through his/her giftedness and personality while he/she rests (a free copy of B. C. Ministries, Inc. study on rest available email us fish4days@gmail.com).  Many believers have a problem with allowing anyone to give him/her directions. How can one who is free allow another to boss them around.

Actually, Paul puts it this way, “For Freedom he has set you free. . .” (Galatians 5:1a). You can never experience freedom more than when you allow the Holy Spirit to have complete control of your life:

• ·         no law
• ·         no religion
• ·         all authority in ministry
• ·         no worries about money for ministry
• ·         he provides everything you need
• ·         only takes faith

That’s the whole concept of rest. Rest means complete. You give the Spirit the right to direct your life. He’s your consultant, and he is free. You don’t have to pay him. You simply use your faith believing that he tells you the right things to do. Of course, he can’t tell you anything wrong to do!

A follower trusts

Paul says that you walk by faith not be sight (2 Corinthians 5:7). When the Holy Spirit tells you something is going to happen, get ready because it will happen. Every area of my ministry, he has provided. I’m the least qualified minister in the world; however, he doesn’t call the qualified. He qualifies the called.

Every believer has a ministry, a gift of service to the world (1 Peter 4:10). Your ministry will be to use your gifts, personality and passions to serve. You may never preach a sermon using words, but you will preach loudly to everyone who sees you in your daily routine if the Holy Spirit is directing your life.

You simply trust him to make your decisions. Take a second before you decide and ask, “Which decision do I make?

You are to be going about his business as you go about yours. You are constantly teaching even when you say nothing, and you can be baptizing with the Spirit by telling others about Jesus (1 Corinthians 12:13).

When you are a follower of Jesus, you allow the Holy Spirit to direct your life—rest complete in him. Rest requires trust. You trust him to make all your decisions. You know that he keeps you. You have confidence that you are performing the ministry he has given you.

If you have questions or comments, give them below. I answer!

***PS: I’d love for you to have a copy of my latest novel, The Red-Haired Master Shepherd. Rufus, the main character’s life is controlled by rest. You can get your copy è click here.

Who You Are Isn't Based on Performance with God. Who You Are Should Have A Direct Bearing on How You Perform.

Review: The Red-Haired Master Shepherd

Review: Novel The Red-Haired Master Shepherd

"A slight wisp of dust alerted Rufus of movement off in the distance. Most shepherds wouldn't have noticed. However, Rufus had trained himself to be alert to the slightest shifts and variances on the desert floor. Missing the smallest detail could spell disaster for the flock."


The above comes from The Red-Haired Master Shepherd, my latest novel. The novel takes a little known character from the Bible and weaves an intriguing story from it.

Rufus, the main character from the novel, can be found in Jerusalem on Friday, 30 AD. Jesus carries his cross up Golgotha Hill. As he struggles up the hill, he stumbles and falls under the load. A Roman Soldier forces a nearby observer to carry the cross. "They pressed into service a passer-by coming from the country, Simon of Cyrene (The father of Alexander and Rufus), to bear His cross" (Mark 15:21).

Rufus once again is mentioned in the Bible by Paul in Romans, "Greet Rufus, a choice man in the Lord, also his mother and mine" (16:13).

From these two relative insignificant mentions of the man, Rufus, the author has woven an interesting story about how Rufus meets Jesus and then becomes a disciple of his during perilous times for one to be called a Christian. His chance meeting changed his life forever.

Not too unusual, since meeting Jesus should be a life-changing experience for each of us. However, for Rufus, it not only changed his life, it changed his occupation. He was a master shepherd of sheep before he meets Jesus. Afterwards, he becomes a master shepherd of people.

Later in the book, Rufus falls in love with a Roman girl, Priscilla. Of course, Jews are never to intermarry with another race. Rufus is torn. He loves Priscilla very much. He has to decide between his ministry and his life love.

I highly recommend The Red-Haired Master Shepherd. The book contains glimpses of truth, history and personal beliefs and idiosyncrasies. I believe you will fall in love with the character as surely as Priscilla did.

Who You Are Isn't Based on Performance with God. Who You Are Should Have A Direct Bearing on How You Perform.

My First Novel

I published my first novel today, The Red-Haired Master Shepherd. The novel finds Rufus, a character mentioned in the Bible first as his dad, Simon of Cyrene, carries Jesus' cross up Golgotha hill. Until this Rufus has been a shepherd for his father in Cyrene. As a lad of 16 he becomes so proficient at his job that he earns the distinction of "Master Shepherd."

He meets Jesus as Jesus is chasing the sellers and buyers out of the Temple. Rufus is drawn to Jesus, and he meets Christ later at Bethany. From that point on, Rufus is sold out to the cause of this New Way.

He begins to establish churches near Jerusalem since his father and mother have a small inheritance near the city. He can use their home as a headquarters for his operation. He and Matthias soon have such a large circuit of churches that all their time is spent in developing house churches and spreading the good news.

The writer of Hebrews address these very churches in his letter. The churches were located near Jerusalem, but were not in Jerusalem. We know this because the author writes, "You have not yet resisted to the shedding of blood," (Hebrews 12:4). The Jerusalem church had already lost James and Stephen by the time the book of Hebrews is written.

The author of Hebrews encourages the churches near Jerusalem to continue to assemble. Don't quit and return to the Levitical System of Worship because there no longer remains a sacrifice for sin under this way of worship.

The book of Hebrews along with Jesus' statement in Luke 21:20, "When you see Jerusalem surrounded by armies, then recognize her desolation is near." Convinced the members of these churches not to return to Jerusalem. When Jerusalem burned in 70 AD, historians of the time reported that no believing Jews were among the 1.2 million people killed in the event.

Although my novel is fictional, it does contain some historical and religious truths. I follow a timeline that suggests that Christ was crucified in 30 AD. From my viewpoint, the 30 AD crucifixion fits best.

If you are interested in reading the novel, you can get a copy at https://www.amazon.com/dp/1694084043 I believe you will enjoy the book. Rufus goes from a shepherd of flocks to a shepherd of believers. He faces trials and tribulations along the way, but he remains firm in his beliefs.

When the heat from Jerusalem's plight becomes too great, Rufus and his family go to Rome. He is in Rome while Paul is imprisoned for the last time. Rufus meets a young Priscilla, a Roman girl, and he falls in love.

Now he is faced with a dilemma, Marry and return to Cyrene and the farm, or continue in ministry and face possible death. Only he can make the decision.

Who You Are Isn't Based on Performance with God. Who You Are Should Have A Direct Bearing on How You Perform.

Where Satan Lives: Do You Provide Part of His Residence

Many people do not consider that they provide a place for Satan to live. However, some of us take him with us almost daily.

When we have bad thoughts, act harshly to our family or friends or simply ignore the Holy Spirit's directives we give Satan a place to reside.

Mark 4

Most church attenders are familiar with Mark chapter 4. Jesus tells a parable of the sower. He uses a familiar farm event to teach about a believer's responsibility of telling others about God's word.
Sometimes the seed is devoured by the birds (v 4).

Later, Jesus explains that the birds are Satan. It is he who comes and steals the seed from the hearts of a potential believer.

Later in the chapter, vv 30-34, Jesus gives another parable. This one is about a mustard seed. Although the seed is small, the crop that it produces is large.

 Jesus says in v 30, "The Kingdom of God is like. . ." the mustard seed that is tiny; however, when it reaches full potential, the Kingdom will grow into a large place.

Look in v 32! Living in the Kingdom of God, i.e. the mustard plant, is whom? Had you thought about Satan living in God's kingdom. He even builds his home there.

Satan wants nothing more than to destroy God's Kingdom. His total goal is to eat up the seed sown. He's good at this.

Who Is the Church

Who is the church has a simple answer--YOU. No doubt who the
church is because the Word of God tells us the church is "His body" (Ephesians 1:23).

However, when you think of "church" you picture your church building in your mind. Your church building has nothing to do with the Kingdom of God.

• it isn't a part of God's Kingdom
• it didn't exist whenever the Bible was written
• church buildings didn't exist until after 200 AD
• God will not call your church building out of the world

Therefore, if Satan lives in the Kingdom of God, he makes his home in you.

Where Does the Church Live

The church (you) lives at the crossroad of a Holy God and a broken world.

Your job, then, consists of supplying solutions to fix a broken world. The purpose of the church has never changed. The place where the church lived has never been in a different neighborhood.

Look at the church at Corinth for example. It lived at the same intersection as your church today.

The Corinthian Church

The church at Corinth had every gift the Holy Spirit could give. So, too, does your church. Your church (you) has every spiritual gift that you will allow the Holy Spirit to give you. Together with other believers, the church possesses all the Spiritual gifts.

However, some believers do not accept that Spiritual gifts exist; therefore, they block the power of the Spirit to work for some of the church. For example many churches would be totally shocked if a member began to speak in tongues.

There's a church in Louisville where refugees from Africa and Mexico meet with English speaking people. The sermon is preached, and two translators are speaking to two parts of the congregation. You bet this church knows what speaking in tongues means.

Even if your church doesn't use the gift of speaking in tongues, you can use them in your prayer language to God. Paul writes in Romans 8:26, "We don't know how to pray." There are times when I'm asked to pray for someone, and I don't know exactly how.

That's one example of when I use tongues to God in my prayer language. The Holy Spirit takes the intents of my heart to God in an understandable language.

Broken people can be fixed by praying in tongues. Broken homes can be repaired by praying in tongues. God knows the intent of your heart, and if the intent of your heart is taken in a prayer language that you don't understand, God knows and answers!

It Isn't Rocket Science

Where the church lives isn't difficult to ascertain. Just go where a believer goes. That's where the church lives.

Remember, Satan builds his home there, too. You have the power of the Holy Spirit to sweep your house clean. Get rid of him, but he will come back at the moment you may least expect.
