A Pouring Out

Eph 2:4 ASV - but God, being rich in mercy, for his great love wherewith he loved us,
Eph 2:5 ASV - even when we were dead through our trespasses, made us alive together with Christ (by grace have ye been saved),

  Grace   Greek: charis   Benefit, Benefactor:
on the part of the bestower, the friendly disposition from which the kindly act proceeds, graciousness, loving-kindness, goodwill generally, e.g., Act 7:10; especially with reference to the Divine favor or "grace," e.g., Act 14:26; in this respect there is stress on its freeness and universality, its spontaneous character, as in the case of God's redemptive mercy, and the pleasure or joy He designs for the recipient; thus it is set in contrast with debt, Rom 4:4, 16, with works, Rom 11:6, and with law, Jhn 1:17; see also, e.g., Rom 6:14, 15; Gal 5:4;

(2) on the part of the receiver, a sense of the favor bestowed, a feeling of gratitude, e.g., Rom 6:17 ("thanks"); in this respect it sometimes signifies "to be thankful," e.g., Luk 17:9 ("doth he thank the servant?" lit., "hath he thanks to"); 1Ti 1:12;

I want to share with you the word Grace and how the word of God defines this wonderful and precious act of kindness upon those that believe . Salvation is an on going process as long as we live in this body we are in need of change . And how do we change where do we start according to John the baptist he came to make the Paths of the Lord in our life's level and straight .
Mat 3:3 ASV - For this is he that was spoken of through Isaiah the prophet, saying, The voice of one crying in the wilderness, Make ye ready the way of the Lord, Make his paths straight.
Paths  Greek: tribos   Path:
"a beaten track" (akin to tribo, "to rub, wear down"), "a path," is used in Mat 3:3; Mar 1:3; Luk 3:4.
As we see the Greek word Paths in our life's has been used a great deal , you have seen in your life  a trail or even a path to cross from one place to another . And over time the path becomes beaten and worn by reason of use. John is describing this path in our life as an access to Grace Gods favor .   Every thing that hinders the righteousness of God being made manifest in our hearts
is the sin spoken in this chapter 2 of Eph .  The Lord called me in 1972 and it was a sovereign act of Gods grace ,  everything about Gods grace and mercy was poured out upon me that day . And I was that dead man in my spirit  And you He made alive when you were spiritually dead and separated from Him because of your transgressions and sins . I was brought up in a denominational church ,  but I never knew who Jesus was I was never introduced to repentance .      I was taught the religion but not the true gospel of God .   Jesus said to count the cost of your faith Luk 14:28 ASV - For which of you, desiring to build a tower, doth not first sit down and count the cost, whether he have wherewith to complete it?  Tower purgos Greek a fortified structure rising to a considerable height, to repel a hostile attack or to enable a watchman to see in every direction .

I wondered at the word tower Jesus use and I see that the tower is our souls our power of faith to stand in all trials . I do not want you to forget the word Grace which is the bases of this truth.
Listen I was lost through most of my early adult life as far as redemption was concerned . And that religion is still being taught today and it puts the soul of a man to sleep with a false doctrine.  Once saved always saved , but Jesus said to count the cost of your salvation its an ever increasing truth that comes through having this Grace to stand on ,  and obedience to Gods word and lastly repentance .   In my searching the last few years the Lord has reveled truths by his spirit and in prayer one morning I saw myself standing before very large gates ,  now the gates were open .   But I could not go through the gates because there was so many obstacles in front of me .  And each one was a different size and shape , they were very close to each other so that I could not pass.   The intention was that I had to pass through the gates , that was my destination .  
I wondered many times and ask the Lord what is the meaning of this.  The obstacles in front of me was the sin in my life my rebellious ways , and I believe out of ignorance to Gods word people like myself are dead and blind to this truth . That is why it is Gods Grace the gift of faith to believe ,  his mercy endures for ever   God is putting flesh on those dry bones.  You must be born again as in Acts 2 be filled with the holy spirit Jesus spoke of in John 16

Ezekiel 37  A prophetic word to all the nations , The word nations is peoples of every kind  Israel and the Gentiles  Eze 37:14 ASV - And I will put my Spirit in you, and ye shall live, and I will place you in your own land: and ye shall know that I, Jehovah, have spoken it and performed it, saith Jehovah.
Eze 37:24 ASV - And my servant David shall be king over them; and they all shall have one shepherd: they shall also walk in mine ordinances, and observe my statutes, and do them.
Eze 37:26 ASV - Moreover I will make a covenant of peace with them; it shall be an everlasting covenant with them; and I will place them, and multiply them, and will set my sanctuary in the midst of them for evermore.
Eze 37:27 ASV - My tabernacle also shall be with them; and I will be their God, and they shall be my people.
Eze 37:28 ASV - And the nations shall know that I am Jehovah that sanctifieth Israel, when my sanctuary shall be in the midst of them for evermore.  Evermore in Heb  everlasting, indefinite or unending future, eternity .   And in this chapter the Lord says Therefore prophesy, and say unto them, Thus saith the Lord Jehovah: Behold, I will open your graves,  and cause you to come up out of your graves, O my people; and I will bring you into the land of Israel.   The moment Jesus die and gave up his spirit .    Israel   Israel = "God prevails"   the second name for Jacob given to him by God after his wrestling with the angel at Peniel . Jacob at the river Jabbok  in the Heb means a pouring out   Gen 32:22 ASV - And he rose up that night, and took his two wives, and his two handmaids, and his eleven children, and passed over the ford of the Jabbok.    Jacob his name says all that he was and God saw he was repentant he was broken and empty , no more conniving and working in his own strength and flesh  So we see here that God touched Jacob in his body his soul and his spirit he changed him physically and as a type and shadow of our true repentance  a breaking of our hearts before God ,  a falling on the rock and being broken for ever more. God changes us just as Jacob .   And the sun rose upon him as he passed over Penuel, and he limped upon his thigh . The light of Gods word is our light and it will rise upon us and direct our way. Jacob wrestled with his sin in his life , when every one was passed over the river in the darkest time of his life and he was all alone .  He told God I will not let you go until you bless me and he prevailed and God blessed him .

Mat 27:50 ASV - And Jesus cried again with a loud voice, and yielded up his spirit.  It is finished his flesh died ,  his gave up his spirit .   Jesus said that the prophets and Moses wrote of me , every thing in the old and in the new is a prophecy coming true every day we live .    Luk 24:44 ASV - And he said unto them, These are my words which I spake unto you, while I was yet with you, that all things must needs be fulfilled, which are written in the law of Moses, and the prophets, and the psalms, concerning me.

Mat 27:51 ASV - And behold, the veil of the temple was rent in two from the top to the bottom; and the earth did quake; and the rocks were rent;    Heb 10:20 ASV - by the way which he dedicated for us, a new and living way, through the veil, that is to say, his flesh;  

Mat 27:52 ASV - and the tombs were opened; and many bodies of the saints that had fallen asleep were raised; Eze 37:12
Mat 27:53 ASV - and coming forth out of the tombs after his resurrection they entered into the holy city and appeared unto many.


Mat 3:8 ASV - Bring forth therefore fruit worthy of repentance:
Mat 3:11 ASV - I indeed baptize you in water unto repentance: but he that cometh after me is mightier than I, whose shoes I am not worthy to bear: he shall baptize you in the Holy Spirit and in fire:
Mat 3:12 ASV - whose fan is in his hand, and he will thoroughly cleanse his threshing-floor; and he will gather his wheat into the garner, but the chaff he will burn up with unquenchable fire.


Psa 23:3 ASV - He restoreth my soul: He guideth me in the paths of righteousness for his name's sake.
Psa 25:10 ASV - All the paths of Jehovah are lovingkindness and truth Unto such as keep his covenant and his testimonies.

Eph 2:1 ASV - And you did he make alive, when ye were dead through your trespasses and sins,
Eph 2:2 ASV - wherein ye once walked according to the course of this world, according to the prince of the powers of the air, of the spirit that now worketh in the sons of disobedience;
Eph 2:3 ASV - among whom we also all once lived in the lust of our flesh, doing the desires of the flesh and of the mind, and were by nature children of wrath, even as the rest:--
Eph 2:4 ASV - but God, being rich in mercy, for his great love wherewith he loved us,
Eph 2:5 ASV - even when we were dead through our trespasses, made us alive together with Christ (by grace have ye been saved),
Eph 2:6 ASV - and raised us up with him, and made us to sit with him in the heavenly places, in Christ Jesus:
Eph 2:7 ASV - that in the ages to come he might show the exceeding riches of his grace in kindness toward us in Christ Jesus:

2Co 7:1 ASV - Having therefore these promises, beloved, let us cleanse ourselves from all defilement of flesh and spirit, perfecting holiness in the fear of God. 
Mat 10:26 ASV - Fear them not therefore: for there is nothing covered, that shall not be revealed; and hid, that shall not be known.
Mat 10:27 ASV - What I tell you in the darkness, speak ye in the light; and what ye hear in the ear, proclaim upon the house-tops.
Mat 10:34 ASV - Think not that I came to send peace on the earth: I came not to send peace, but a sword.
Sword being the word of God ,   the word of God is alive and active.
Heb 4:12 ASV - For the word of God is living, and active, and sharper than any two-edged sword, and piercing even to the dividing of soul and spirit, of both joints and marrow, and quick to discern the thoughts and intents of the heart.  This is the sword Jesus was speaking of ,  even to the division of soul and spirit .   This word will if we allow it ,  will transform us into the very image of Christ .  And be not fashioned according to this world: but be ye transformed by the renewing of your mind, and ye may prove what is the good and acceptable and perfect will of God.   The word has the power to separate us from this world , our carnal fleshly old man is our earthly worldly spirit
Jesus is the remedy for our lost souls , and we need a savior .  The bible says that God sent his word to heal us.  Jesus is our Passover,   he was the Lamb whose blood was put on the door of our hearts . David said wash me with hyssop and I shall be clean . The washing water of the word.
As long as we live on this earth we are constantly building on our heavenly house our spiritual house of habitation . 
1Jo 2:24 ASV - As for you, let that abide in you which ye heard from the beginning. If that which ye heard from the beginning abide in you, ye also shall abide in the Son, and in the Father.
