JOHN 10: 10 I am come that they might have life, and that they might have it more abundantly.


JOHN 10: 10  

SATAN-----The thief cometh not, but for to steal, and to kill, and to destroy:


JESUS CHRIST------I am come that they might have life, and that they might have it more abundantly. 

ABUNDANTLY: 

1) exceeding some number or measure or rank or need

a) over and above, more than is necessary, superadded

1) exceeding abundantly, supremely

2) something further, more, much more than all, more plainly

b) superior, extraordinary, surpassing, uncommon

1) pre-eminence, superiority, advantage, more eminent, more remarkable, more excellent





DEAR SAINTS of the MOST HIGH:



I would like to share and explore some important aspects of “the LIFE of the BELIEVER”.



I have been in deep thought and PRAYER these days over some ‘aspects” of the LIFE of the BELIEVERS.



MOSTLY I am seeking to understand:



HEALING and DELIVERANCE, and why the BODY of CHRIST is in such affliction and torment.



Before I can get to the significance of this study, HEALING and DELIVERANCE, I feel that it is important to EXPLORE our BELIEFS concerning:



What does it mean to be in a COVENANT RELATIONSHIP with OUR LORD and SAVIOR JESUS CHRIST.



I will forewarn you.. this is going to be a LONG STUDY, It is a STUDY, and exploration of GOD’S WORD and I don’t expect I will get it ALL correct or in perfect ORDER. Keep in mind I am in a DISCOVERY PHASE in my LIFE, but it has BECOME so important to me to understand some NEW THINGS the LORD has put in my heart, and  I do want to Thank you upfront for your patience’s and input, blessings  donna


 
I would like to start with a few questions in mind, OF course, you do not have to answer them here, but I hope that you will ponder them in your heart while I continue with the sharing portions.



Here is a couple of questions I would like to explore:


JESUS CHRIST------I am come that they might have life, and that they might have it more abundantly.


JESUS has promised us an “MORE ABUNDANT LIFE:

THEN what is the ABUNDANT LIFE?

Is that “abundant life” just for when we get into heaven?

Do you believe the BLESSINGS of GOD, in Deut 28: 1-15, do or od not apply to our lives? IF not, please explain from scripture why it is not so.

Do you believe there are no consequences for wickedness and rebellion?

Do you believe that WE are NO LONGER held captive or held in STRONGHOLDS, generational curses after the REBIRTH state?

HERE are MY BELIEFS on this matter:

I believe the “ABUNDANT LIFE” is meant for us here on EARTH, through a "COVENANT RELATIONSHIP" we have with the GOD, and through the "PROMISES" HE has given to HIS SON, JESUS CHRIST.

Just a side note: i believe that "COVENANT" relastionship is comes from FIRST a REVEALATION of WHO HE IS, a commitment from our HEART, to Trust and obey, and SEALING of the HOLY SPIRT by the LORD, as a token of our ACCEPTANCE into HIS KINGDOM.

HOWEVER, I also believe the ABUNDANT LIFE/ BLESSINGS OF GOD comes with an "IF, THEN" statement.

I BELIEVE that “ABUNDANT LIFE” comes from the RESTORATION we have THROUGH JESUS CHRIST, back to the FATHER , and it consist of
BOTH SPRITUAL BLESSINGS and PHYSICAL BLESSINGS, through obedience and surrender.

ABUNDANT LIFE to me means the PROMISES and BLESSINGS of GOD, that were giving to ISRAEL, NOW the PROMISED SON JESUS CHRIST, are meant for us today.

BECAUSE it GLORIFYS and GIVES WITNESS to the LORD, through HIS PEOPLE and it is a PROMISE to those that are WILLING to OBEY through following HIS precepts and principals.

DEUT 28: 1-15

DEUT 28: 10 And all people of the earth shall see that thou art called by the name of the LORD; and they shall be afraid of thee.

PROMISE of GOD towards HIS PEOPLE:

GOOD HEALTH, through righteous living, increase in birth, children’s obedience and health, good marriages, increase in TRUTH, even wealth at time, and most of all: [color:d2fa=blue]the PROSPERITY of the LORD’S presence among us.

NOW here is the complicated part:

I ALSO believe that “STRONGHOLDS” and “CURSES” no longer have a hold on our LIVES, becauase JESUS CHRIST came to SET US FREE/ RESTORE US, according to the TRUTH, to those precepts and principals of a HOLY LIFE, and the WILL of the FATHER, to be a KINGDOM PEOPLE

However, I also believe that these “HABITUAL STRONGHOLDS and CURSES” do NOT
“ALWAYS” pass away from our LIVES “IMMEDIATELY” at the REBIRTH, REBORN state.

MOSTLY becasue of some TRUTH we have not come to YET, that the "RESURRECTED" portion of our LIVES can be brought to LIFE.

Some of these things in our lives remain to yet be REVEALED to us by the WORD and The SPIRIT OF TRUTH, HOLY SPIRIT, some times through IGNORANCE or emotional hurts and abuses in our lives, and sometimes through bondage, or sin in our lives.

ULTIMATLY, They can be REVEALED, REPENTED OF at the CROSS, RESTORED/RESURRECTED to THE NEW LIFE, that we can walk in that the NEW LIFE, empowered by the HOLY SPIRIT.



I have more, but I am sure this is enough for one day.
