" SAINTS OF GOD "

Good Morning to you all, and may the Lord Jesus Christ bless you. This week we will be looking into the " Saints Of God." " SAINTS: " One's Faithful to God ( Holy, Separated From, Set Apart). Those who have been set apart by God for Himself. Now, Psalms 16:3 " As for the saints who are in the earth, they are Majestic ones in whom is all my delight." 'But the saints of the Highest One will receive the Kingdom and Possess the Kingdom forever, for all ages to come.' Now, The " Saints of the Highest One " are the true Israel, the people ruled by the Messiah Jesus Christ gave the Kingdom to the New Israel, His Church, made up of all faithful believers. His Coming ushered in the Kingdom Of God, and all believers are its citizens. Although God may allow persecution to continue for awhile, the destiny of his followers is to possess the kingdom and be with Him Forever. " GOD WORKS IN ALL THINGS " - not just isolated incidents - for our good. This does not mean that all that happens to us is good. Evil is prevalent in our Fallen World, but GOD IS ABLE TO TURN EVERY CIRCUMSTANCE AROUND FOR OUR LONG - RANGE GOOD. Note that God is not working to make us happy, but to fulfill his purpose. NOTE THAT THIS PROMISE IS NOT FOR EVERYBODY. IT CAN BE CLAIMED ONLY BY THOSE WHO LOVE GOD AND ARE CALLED ACCORDING TO HIS PURPOSE. THOSE WHO ARE " CALLED " ARE THOSE THE HOLY SPIRIT CONVINCES AND ENABLES TO RECEIVE CHRIST. Such people have a New Perspective, a New Mind-Set on life. They trust in God, not life's treasures; they look for their security in Heaven, not on earth; THEY LEARN TO ACCEPT, NOT RESENT, PAIN AND PERSECUTION BECAUSE GOD IS WITH THEM. Until Next Time... Jim,
