It IS finished.

If any man or woman truly be in Christ, they have become a new creature. Old sins have passed away. And behold, all things have become new. Clean heart. Right spirit. If any man or woman is in Christ, they grow in grace. Not in sin. The natural man or woman cannot cease from sinning because they are not born again by the Spirit of God. "First the blade, then the ear, after that, the full corn in the ear". The grace of God that brings salvation has appeared to every man and woman, teaching them to deny ungodliness and worldly lusts. To live sober and holy in this perverse and adulterous world of iniquity.  The Son of God has shed forth his Spirit upon clean hearts and minds purged from an evil conscience by His Blood. Beware that any man or woman called a pastor, apostle, or teacher, deceive you by alluring through lusts of the defiled flesh. If we have access to the mighty weapons of God, then we can cast down evil imaginations and bring every thought into obedience to Jesus Christ whose grace is abundantly sufficient to keep us from falling and is able to preserve us in the power of His might as good soldiers of Jesus Christ. It is finished. "Be not faithless, but believing."

The voice crying in the wilderness

Make straight the way of the Lord and his paths smooth. Casting all your cares upon Him, for He cares for you and His burden is Light. His grace is abundant and fails not. Though sin may abound in darkness, the Light that is in Christ is eternal life and peace.

The evidence of Salvation: Remission of sins

Called to be saints. Not retreaded sinners.

"And you hath he quickened who were dead in trespasses and sins."
"Witnesses of the resurrection." Born again in "newness of life."
"Saved by the washing of regeneration and renewing by the Holy Spirit".
It is written. "Let God be true and every man a liar". 

The called out. Called to be saints. Not retreaded sinners. But new creatures in Christ. Let the redeemed of the Lord say so. We are not of those who have drawn back into perdition. If so be the Spirit of God dwells in us, we should be taught by the Holy Spirit the deep things of God not revealed to the natural man. Because God is a Spirit, and they who worship Him, must worship God in Spirit and in Truth. Abiding in the Vine, bringing forth fruit unto holiness. 

Where's the Body?

Hundreds of preachers
Thousands of teachers
Programs, planes and books
buildings and idols
bylaws and titles
Leaders, directors and crooks
robbing and stealing
the people from healing
While promising sweet liberty.

Smooth talking scribes
who love to take bribes
speaking out of darkness of heart
these are wells without water
Leading lambs to the slaughter
In the name of Jesus, depart!

We've been battered and scattered
left bleeding and tattered
won't some one please rescue and save?

O where is the body
of Christ-like authority
whose members are knit by His love?

with anointing and unction
causes hell to malfunction
sitting together with Jesus above
whose builder and maker
is the Almighty Shaker
who removes things that cannot remain.

"a secret place"

There is a place not known to flesh

A refuge. peaceful, solace, rest.

for desperate tears and sorrow-bound

Release the prisoner lost, now found.

A word is spoken

Well known as written

Brings light to darkness

All sins forgiven!

God's Angels rejoicing

New creature singing

High praises ringing

Born Again!
