 "His Servants Remain Firm in Grace"
 

Making our way in the world today as a faithful and obedient servant before Elohim, We remain in His great privilege! We know for certain, steeled in our faith, we are justified before Hashem (G-d), though the term "blessed" in the Greek (μακάριοι or Makarios the idea behind the word intends something “larger” or “Lengthy” and describes the faithful in enviable (“fortune”) position receiving Hashem’s provisions (favor) which literally extend (make long, large) His grace (benefits), holds a much deeper meaning. It signifies that we are the focused objects of divine satisfaction, even of divine delight.

How marvelous that we seemingly almost insignificant creatures, mortals sons of man, sinners all.... should be made the objects of divine heavenly love! However, it is only "in the Beloved", Ben Elohim (the Son of G-d). It is that some faithful seem to be accepted in their own experience.... at least that is their apprehension. When their spirit is lively and their hopes devoted in richness of spirit to Yehoshua, the self-indulgent Believers may think Hashem accepts them in their foolishness of leaning upon their own understanding.

For they feel so high and mighty, so heavenly-minded, elevated above the earth in the privilege of blessings! Yet when their souls hold foolishly to earthly things, earthly matters without thought Elohei Kedem (The Eternal G-d), they are the victims of the fear in that they are no longer accepted. To lose hope is to lose blessings, to lose all true joy and feast of spirit…. leaving a hungering soul solitary.

If these self-elevating people in their foolishness could only have eyes to see all their high joys do not exalt them, and all their low dependencies do not really depress them before Elohim Avinu (G-d our Father), rather that they should stand accepted in our Rock and Redeemer, Y'shua, who never alters. Ha’ Moshiach (The Anointed One) is always the beloved of Hashem (G-d), always perfect, always without spot or wrinkle or any such flaw. How much happier they would be, and how much more richly they would honor our Rock and Redeemer, Ha’ Moshiach… if they could grasp Him!

Rejoice then, joyous faithful, in this: You are blessed "in the Beloved" always. In times of troubles and turmoil, when you look within, and you say, "There is nothing acceptable here worthy of redemption!" Yet look towards our Yehoshua, and see if everything is not acceptable within He who made Himself Sacrifice that we may live. Your sins and their consequences should trouble you, but Hashem has cast your sins behind His back, and you are accepted and blessed in the love of Ben Elohim (the son of G-d). One word illustrates such power, steels you against any on coming enemy and strengthens you at your most vulnerable.... Believe!

We each must have to push back against intrepid challenge wrought with corruption and wrestle the endless onslaught of temptation, however, you are already accepted in Him who has overcome the powers of evil cheated death and brings us to the promises of eternal life.

The downcast fallen Morning Star shall make every effort to sway you in temptations but be of good cheer.... he cannot destroy you, nor does he hold the power of your demise; for you are accepted in Him who has triumphs over the ejected Morning Star eternally. Know by full assurance, you are loved and eternally in glorious standing.

Even glorified and sainted souls are not more accepted than you are. They are only blessed in heaven "in the Beloved," as you too are even now blessed in Ha’ Moshiach (The Anointed One) after the same manner. So, hold your head high within your granted grace, firm upright your stance with the strength of the kept promises of our most precious Redeemer. Stride in confidence of the protection of our gracious Savior’s blessings.

As we grow stronger in faith, our light of love beckons those in the shadows around us and provides us all the power to lift others within the strength of His grace. Walk in faith, go in His grace and know YOU are loved,

Pastor Mark
