Radical Disciples – A Remnant Revolution

Whosoever commits sin transgresses also the law: for sin is the transgression of the law. And ye know that he appeared to take away our sins, and there is no sin in him. Whosoever abides in him does not sin: whosoever sins has not seen him or known him. Little children, let no one deceive you; he that does righteousness is righteous, even as he also is righteous. He that commits sin is of the devil; for the devil sins from the beginning. For this purpose the Son of God appeared, that he might undo the works of the devil. Whosoever is born of God does not commit sin; for his seed remains in him; and he cannot sin, because he is born of God. (1 John 3:4-9)

So many defend their sinfulness claiming they will always sin and then with the same breath, claim that they belong to Jesus, and they know Him as Lord.

Yet what John the Beloved writes here is as clear as day: “Whosoever abides in him does not sin: whosoever sins has not seen him or known him”.

They claim to be born-again yet confess that they are sinners, however, John states here that “Whosoever is born of God does not commit sin; for his seed remains in him; and he cannot sin, because he is born of God’.

Could the issue be that so many have placed their faith in the confession of a religious prayer that isn’t in the Bible, having faith that that prayer has saved them?

Jesus said “Verily, verily, I say unto thee, Unless a man is born of water and of the Spirit, he cannot enter into the kingdom of God. That which is born of the flesh is flesh, and that which is born of the Spirit is spirit. Marvel not that I said unto thee, Ye must be born again from above. The wind blows where it desires, and thou hearest the sound of it, but canst not tell from where it comes or where it goes; so is every one that is born of the Spirit. (John 3:5-8)

I believe that Western theology has grossly miss-Re-Presented the true Gospel and has instead preachers preach a watered-down – sin conscious religious theology that places people back in the driver’s seat in a works-based lifestyle rather than leading them to place their lives in the hands of the Lord.

Can I live a day without sinning? No, I cannot, in and of myself. But He who is the Greatest, that liveth in me can keep me from sinning according to the WORD:

Now, to the one with enough power to prevent you from stumbling into sin and bring you faultless before his glorious presence to stand before him with ecstatic delight, to the only God our Savior, through our Lord Jesus Christ, be endless glory and majesty, great power and authority—from before he created time, now, and throughout all the ages of eternity. Amen! (Jude 1:24-25, TPT)

and….

“I give all my praises and glory to the one who has more than enough power to make you strong and keep you steadfast through the promises found in the wonderful news that I preach; that is, the proclamation of Jesus, the Anointed One. This wonderful news includes the unveiling of the mystery kept secret from the dawn of creation until now. This mystery is understood through the prophecies of the Scripture and by the decree of the eternal God. And it is now heard openly by all the nations, igniting within them a deep commitment of faith. Now to God, the only source of wisdom, be glorious praises for endless ages through Jesus, the Anointed One! Amen! (Romans 16:25-27, TPT)

Ironically the 1st – 3rd-century fathers of our faith believed in such a lifestyle, having surrendered to the complete Lordship of Holy Spirit to be a new creation in Christ Jesus, living a life that could be walked out in purity and truth.

Around 325 A.D. the congregations were invaded by religious tyrants, Priest of pagans who led many away from the truth, teaching them to adhere to doctrines of men, traditions, and rituals, masked as holiness yet were toxic documents filled with fables and deceptions.

Luther was kicked out of the Catholic Church against his will and due to his love for that religious institution, kept many of their customs which are still woven within the Protestant Church, merely with slight name changes.

Many have been lured by religion into s deep spiritual sleep. We were warned of this in the book of Proverbs:

Give not sleep to thine eyes, nor slumber to thine eyelids. Escape as a roe from the hand of the hunter and as a bird from the hand of the fowler. Go to the ant, thou sluggard; consider her ways, and be wise, Who having no guide, overseer, or ruler, provides her food in the summer and gathers her food in the harvest. How long wilt thou sleep, O sluggard? when wilt thou arise out of thy sleep? Yet a little sleep, a little slumber, a little folding of the hands to sleep: So shall thy poverty come as one that travels and thy want as an armed man. (Proverbs 6:4-11)

Many this day have placed their faith in the hands of men, never speaking to Holy Spirit, rather relying solely upon the man in the pulpit.

We constantly see the corruption of politics in this nation, from town councils to the Senate and House, all the way to the oval office. The same could be said of the American Church, all the way from the board member to the pastors.

Many a house is going to be shaken, as Holy Spirit is moving to reclaim His rightful seat as the head of the church. Even as the illegal governments of religion have invaded these Holy Houses, Heaven is NOW moving and re-establishing its Governmental authority.

The Father is gathering His Remnant in this hour, sons & daughters who live the Word not merely quote it. The WORD is manifesting in their bodies and they walk in the Newness of their Christ-man lives.

And that he died for all that those who live should not live from now on unto themselves, but unto him who died and rose again for them. Therefore from now on we know no one according to the flesh: and even if we have known Christ according to the flesh, yet now we know him no longer. Therefore if anyone is in Christ, they are a new creation: old things are passed away; behold, all things are made new. And all this by God, who reconciled us to himself by Jesus Christ, and gave us the ministry of reconciliation; for certainly God was in Christ, reconciling the world unto himself, not imputing their trespasses unto them and having placed in us the word of reconciliation. Now then we are ambassadors for Christ, as though God did exhort you by us; we beseech you in Christ’s name, be ye reconciled to God. For he has made him to be sin for us, who knew no sin, that we might be made the righteousness of God in him. ( 2 Corinthians 5:15-21)

We have been saved and are being transformed into the image of the Son (Romans 8:29), not the celebrity preachers filling the stadium-style Churches in our day. We have not been saved to model skinny jeans, designer glasses, and Hollywood-styled haircuts, we have been saved so that we can be wrapped in the robes of His righteousness!!!

The very D.N.A. of His WORD is transforming their earthen bodies into their original design, having the very image of the Godhead from whom they were modeled after.

For we are buried with him by baptism into death, that just as the Christ was raised up from the dead to the glory of the Father, likewise we also walk in newness of life. For if we have been planted together in him in the likeness of his death, we shall be also in the likeness of his resurrection, knowing this: that our old man is crucified with him that the body of sin might be destroyed that we should not serve sin any longer. For he that is dead is justified from sin. (Romans 6:4-7)

“We also walk in newness of life” This is a NOW word!!!

I have been crucified with Christ [in Him I have shared His crucifixion]; it is no longer I who live, but Christ (the Messiah) lives in me; and the life I now live in the body I live by faith in (by adherence to and reliance on and complete trust in) the Son of God, Who loved me and gave Himself up for me.

[Therefore, I do not treat God’s gracious gift as something of minor importance and defeat its very purpose]; I do not set aside and invalidate and frustrate and nullify the grace (unmerited favor) of God. For if justification (righteousness, acquittal from guilt) comes through [observing the ritual of] the Law, then Christ (the Messiah) died groundlessly and to no purpose and in vain. [His death was then wholly superfluous.] O you poor and silly and thoughtless and unreflecting and senseless Galatians! Who has fascinated or bewitched or cast a spell over you, unto whom—right before your very eyes—Jesus Christ (the Messiah) was openly and graphically set forth and portrayed as crucified? (Galatians 2:20- 3:1, AMPC)

So, according to scripture, the sinner sinful man has been put to death, and buried with Christ, and the new man, the Christ man has been resurrected with Christ. Let us not be found foolish, like the Galatians, rather let us stop believing the lie that we are a sinner if we have surrendered your whole life to Jesus, confessing that He is Lord of our life, then we are saved, we are not a sinner, we are Saints!!!
