Art of Glory is a ministry of reconciliation
Truth: Jesus is the mystery. He is the Door, the Way, the Truth and the Life. This is the promise that He promised us: Eternal Life. As quickly as a person believes that Jesus is the Son of God and accepts Him as their Lord and Savior, they gain access, and reconciliation, to the Father, God Almighty, Yahweh, Abba.
It’s about surrendering your heart and giving God Almighty the glory, instead of yourself and the world.
It’s a daily act to surrender your life – all that you are and do – and it doesn’t always feel easy. Our minds get in the way and wonder, how can I do that? The only way is by asking Him to take the reins and remake your life His way.
It’s through living and breathing and walking by faith, trusting the Redeemer King Jesus with your life. It’s making mistakes and getting up with Him in victory, again and again. You win by believing in Him, obeying His ways, loving and honoring Him by putting Him first in all things.
There’s no more time to “figure it out” or
“wait and see” — Jesus Christ is at the door.
The devil owns the fence. If you’re on the fence, it’s time to get off it now and run to Him.
I know a bit about this as I was on the fence for almost 4 decades. In one of His last gentle nudges, I finally got it – and ran to Him! You can read about it here. It’s not easy, it takes blind faith, willingness to fail, repent and start again and it’s filled with all sorts of battles, but it’s so worth it!
Those that believe in Him will not be disappointed!
"But the one who endures and bears up [under suffering] to the end will be saved."
Matthew 24:13
"And they overcame and conquered him because of the blood of the Lamb and because of the word of their testimony, for they did not love their life and renounce their faith even when faced with death." Revelation 12:11
Start from where you are…
MEET JESUS
For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son, that whosoever believes in Him will not perish, but have everlasting life.
John 3:16
The Son of the one true God Almighty, came to earth and was born as a human son. His lived as we do for 30 years and then began His message and ministry to the world with this, “Repent, for the Kingdom of heaven is at hand.” Three years later, He died, was nailed to a cross, and by doing so broke every curse of the world’s sin. For three days, His tomb was sealed and He descended to Hell (Sheol) where He announced to the principalities and powers of the lower spirit realm that He had now atoned for all the sins of the world, cutting off their authority and breaking the curse of death. He rose up and is alive again and the Word proclaims that now, a way out of the curse of sin and into eternal life is now made for those who believe in Him.
He did this for us. For the world, for me, for YOU.
Everyone who believes that Jesus is the Christ has been born of God, and everyone who loves the Father also loves those born of Him. By this we know that we love the children of God: when we love God and keep His commandments. For this is the love of God, that we keep His commandments. And His commandments are not burdensome, because everyone born of God overcomes the world. And this is the victory that has overcome the world: our faith.
Who then overcomes the world? Only he who believes that Jesus is the Son of God.
1 John 5:1-5
I am the way and the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father except through Me
John 14:6
NEW BELIEVER
By faith, we believe and by faith we read and hear the truth. “Faith comes by hearing and hearing by the Word of God.” Once believing, we are now joint heirs with Him in the Kingdom of Heaven. Read God’s Word, pray and worship Him as much as you can. The Bible says to pray without ceasing! You feed your body two or three times a day right? How many times a day should you feed your soul and praise the Father of Lights who loves you?
Repent means to change your ways and give Him your heart. Repent for all sin, thing actions and thoughts that grieve Him (ways of the world) and start learning and living His ways. Be baptised in water for a public declaration of repentance and choosing the King of Kings. And ASK the Holy Spirit to fill you, to be baptised in the fire of the Holy Spirit, like Jesus, and to give you the gifts your Father has for you.
Whoever believes and is baptized will be saved, but whoever does not believe will be condemned.
Mark 16:16
And this water symbolizes the baptism that now saves you also—not the removal of dirt from the body, but the pledge of a clear conscience toward God—through the resurrection of Jesus Christ,
1 Peter 3:21
As soon as Jesus was baptized, He went up out of the water. Suddenly the heavens were opened, and He saw the Spirit of God descending like a dove and resting on Him. And a voice from heaven said, “This is My beloved Son, in whom I am well pleased!”
Matthew 3:16-17
Do you not know that your body is a temple of the Holy Spirit who is in you, whom you have received from God? You are not your own; you were bought at a price. Therefore glorify God with your body.
1 Corinthians 6:19-20
Do not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind. Then you will be able to test and approve what is the good, pleasing, and perfect will of God.
Romans 12:2
Therefore, just as you have received Christ Jesus as Lord, continue to walk in Him, rooted and built up in Him, established in the faith as you were taught, and overflowing with thankfulness.
See to it that no one takes you captive through philosophy and empty deception, which are based on human tradition and the spiritual forces of the world rather than on Christ. For in Christ all the fullness of the Deity dwells in bodily form. And you have been made complete in Christ, who is the head over every ruler and authority.
Colossians 2:6-10
And you were dead in your trespasses and sins, in which you used to walk when you conformed to the ways of this world and of the ruler of the power of the air, the spirit who is now at work in the sons of disobedience. All of us also lived among them at one time, fulfilling the cravings of our flesh and indulging its desires and thoughts. Like the rest, we were by nature children of wrath.
But because of His great love for us, God, who is rich in mercy, made us alive with Christ even when we were dead in our trespasses. It is by grace you have been saved! And God raised us up with Christ and seated us with Him in the heavenly realms in Christ Jesus, in order that in the coming ages He might display the surpassing riches of His grace, demonstrated by His kindness to us in Christ Jesus.
For it is by grace you have been saved through faith, and this not from yourselves; it is the gift of God, not by works, so that no one can boast. For we are God’s workmanship, created in Christ Jesus to do good works, which God prepared in advance as our way of life.
Ephesians 2:1-10
Who is the liar, if it is not the one who denies that Jesus is the Christ? This is the antichrist, who denies the Father and the Son. Whoever denies the Son does not have the Father, but whoever confesses the Son has the Father as well.
As for you, let what you have heard from the beginning remain in you. If it does, you will also remain in the Son and in the Father. And this is the promise that He Himself made to us: eternal life.
1 John 2:22-25
READY FOR MIRACLES
By faith live and do the Word. Walk it, pray it, feast on it, say it. Your body is the Temple of God. Ask to be filled with the Holy Spirit, ask for the gifts from the Holy Spirit. He gives severally as He wills. Ask and thank Him for it and wait on the Lord. The Holy Spirit teaches you all things. (1 John 2)
Ask God Almighty and He will tell you great and might things which you do not know.
Jeremiah 33:3
For we walk by faith, not by sight.
2 Corinthians 5:7
Then Jesus came to them (the Disciples) and said, “All authority in heaven and on earth has been given to Me. Therefore GO and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit, and teaching them to obey all that I have commanded you. And surely I am with you always, even to the end of the age.”
Matthew 28:18-20
And He said to them, “GO into all the world and preach the gospel to every creature. Whoever believes and is baptized will be saved, but whoever does not believe will be condemned. And these signs will accompany those who believe: In My name they will drive out demons; they will speak in new tongues; they will pick up snakes (enemies) with their hands, and if they drink any deadly poison, it will not harm them; they will lay their hands on the sick, and they will be made well.”
Mark 16:15-18
Make every effort to present yourself (study to show yourself) approved to God, an unashamed workman who accurately handles the word of truth.
2 Timothy 2:15
Truly, truly, I tell you, whoever believes in Me will also do the works that I am doing. He will do even greater things than these, because I am going to the Father. And I will do whatever you ask in My name, so that the Father may be glorified in the Son. If you ask Me for anything in My name, I will do it.
John 14:12-13
ON THE FENCE
Which is it: 1) Not sure if Jesus is real? or 2) Not sure that He is the Son of God and that you need Him?
If the first, ask Him to show you that He’s real! If you know someone who believes, ask them why they do. Get or borrow a Bible – Ask Him to teach you and start reading the book of John (about how He loves you) or Colossians.
If the second, you’re likely on the fence and so immersed in this world that you see no need for a savior – life is pretty good. Maybe you even go to a church once in a while and feel that you’re, “all good” with that.
Plain truth: Life on fence, is living lukewarm. I call it the Goldilocks Syndrome and it’s living in both worlds so you don’t stand out, ruffle any feathers or have to stop doing the things you think are so fun.
The fence is no longer an option. The devil owns the fence and he working overtime to deceive and to lull you into thinking you’ve got time.
Going to a church while also partying, immorality and other ways of the world is called lukewarm. One side is too hot, one side is, too cold = staying on the fence falsely thinking it’s “Just right” will get you roasted.
If you want to live, it’s time to do an audit of your life. Recognize the things that Jesus hates (hint: all sin) and begin to love the things He loves. Repent, change your ways, seek Him and humble yourself before Him = Get off the fence!
I know your deeds; you are neither cold nor hot. How I wish you were one or the other! So because you are lukewarm—neither hot nor cold—I am about to vomit you out of My mouth!
Revelation 3:15-16
To this one I will look, he who is humble and contrite in spirit and trembles at my Word.
Isaiah 66:2
In the last times there will be scoffers who will follow after their own ungodly desires.” These are the ones who cause divisions, who are worldly and devoid of the Spirit.
Jude 1:18-19
Behold, the Lord is coming with myriads of His holy ones to execute judgment on everyone, and to convict all the ungodly of every ungodly act of wickedness and every harsh word spoken against Him by ungodly sinners.
1 Enoch 1:9
