In Great Distress….
“I saw a Child of God in great distress, in the middle of an angry sea of chaos.
And I saw Jesus in the midst of the storm, pulling His Child close to His Heart and whispering, “Peace, be still, My Child, have no fear for I AM the Faithful One.”
“Beloved. Do not be discouraged and do not be afraid. My Grace is more than sufficient for you.
Religion has it all wrong, My Child. By Grace you are saved through Faith. By Grace and the finished work of the Cross, we have become One.
Do you see, Dear One? This is the GOOD news! It is not your works which bring you close to Me.
It is not your works that bring you under the Shelter of My Wings. No, Beloved. This is religion’s way, but it is not My Way.
We are One through your new birth. You have been saved by Grace through faith in the Son. I AM Abba Father, The Faithful One and True.
Once a Child of God, always a Child of God. My lovingkindness extends to the heavens and My faithfulness reaches to the skies. Nothing you do or don’t do can ever change this.
You have been SEALED by the Holy Spirit forever. You have been set aside by Me. You are Mine and I AM yours.
Nothing you do or don’t do will ever cause Me to turn away from you. Even now, even in your darkest moments and in the midst of your storms, I pull you close to Me.
Even if you are unfaithful, Beloved, I will always be faithful to you. Forever, I AM faithful to you, for I AM the Lover of your soul.
Come, My Weary One. Rest in My Everlasting arms. The enemy cannot touch you in My Embrace. The seas of chaos shall be calmed and the storms shall cease as you rest in My Faithfulness.”
“Your lovingkindness, O LORD, extends to the heavens, Your faithfulness reaches to the skies,” Psalm 36:5.
“If we are faithless, He remains faithful, for He cannot deny Himself,” 2 Timothy 2:13.
“The Lord is faithful, who will establish you and guard you from the evil one,” 2 Thessalonians 3:3.
“Let us hold fast the confession of our faith without wavering, for He who promised is faithful,” Hebrews 10:23.
“The LORD’S lovingkindnesses indeed never cease, For His compassions never fail. They are new every morning; Great is Your faithfulness,” Lamentations 3:22-23.
“There is none like our God, who rides the heavens to your aid, and the clouds in His majesty. The eternal God is your dwelling place, and underneath are the everlasting arms. He drives out the enemy before you, giving the command, ‘Destroy him!’” Deuteronomy 33:26-27.
“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.…” Ephesians 2:7-9.

Amazing.
I think that this message is for those who have already died in Christ. They have put away their earthly nature. They have moved on and live maturely in the knowledge and will of the Lord. Of course they know that sin separates from God! It’s all a matter of perspective and if you’re not there yet of course you’re going to misunderstand.
Amen. Sin is a reproach, and disgrace to any people, (Proverbs 14:34). Sin is a serious matter, and is actually disobedience and rebellion, against the Authority of Almighty God. We are also called to be conformed to the image (Pattern) of Christ Jesus, (Romans 8:29). Therefore, to practice living in sin, is failure to experience being conformed to Christ Jesus, The Lord. We should seek to walk in the Spirit, and not live according to the sinful impulses, that seek expression, through our bodies.
