Have you ever heard, “Give your life to the Lord?” Or how about change your behavior and then God will accept you? Nothing could be further from the truth. The truth is, all blessings, starting with sonship, come through believing in and receiving His Life, not giving your life, which is performance based, but receiving His, which is grace based. The truth is that no one is accepted by God, by changing their behavior, or performing.
In fact, the Spirit of God, comes freely, sonship, in turn comes freely, the gifts all come freely, and they are irrevocable. This is the gospel, and this is the only way to receive the Spirit of God. He won’t have it any other way.
All other roads are prideful, self-righteous, and fearful. You can’t do anything to earn his love, and once you realize and receive it, there’s nothing you can do to lose it! Anybody who tells you any differently is a liar, confused or is what the bible calls a worker of evil.
But what does the bible actually say about this? Well let’s find out…
Matthew 7
21 “Not everyone who says to me, ‘Lord, Lord,’ will enter the kingdom of heaven, but only the one who does the will of my Father who is in heaven.
22 Many will say to Me on that day, ‘Lord, Lord, did we not prophesy in Your name, and in Your name drive out demons and perform many miracles?’
23 Then I will tell them plainly, ‘I never knew you; depart from Me, you evil doers!’
Scripture clearly condemns doing works for God, and unfortunately it’s been misunderstood and muddied up by unlearned, religious, fearful, and critical people, who, unfortunately, think they have earned Gods’ grace, through their performance. But Jesus has always taught that performance, even by Church people, is considered “evil” and has labeled anyone doing these works FOR God, as workers of evil.
So, let’s be clear, “Works FOR GOD,” are glaringly and obviously declared by Jesus as evil, and He has not called anybody to these, nor will he ever. His call is to receive and believe in His Works, not ours.
So then, how do you do the will of God? What is the will of God? And how is it done? Well I’m glad you asked…
The will of God is that you believe in Him, what He has already done, what He is doing, and what He promised only He can do… to you, for you, and finally through you. His Will is that you believe “He Will.”
But what does the bible actually say about this? Well let’s find out…
Matthew 7
21“Not everyone who says to me, ‘Lord, Lord,’ will enter the kingdom of heaven, but only the one who does the will of my Father who is in heaven.
John 6:28
Then they asked him,
“What must we do to do the will of God?”
29 Jesus replied, “The will of God is this:
to believe in me (WHAT HAVE, CAN & WILL DO)”…
Scripture is clear, that true faith, is ONLY trusting in what He has done, is doing, and will do. This is how we receive the grace of God. The Grace of God only comes by believing in and trusting in His performance not our performance, His cross, not ours, His ability not our ability, His goodness, not our goodness, His Promises to us, not our promises to Him.
In fact the only way to receive the Promises of God, and to guarantee that we receive the grace we need is by faith in His Work, not ours. The will of God is that we believe and trust in His Work, and all of its promises, not ours. This is true faith.
This was the faith of Abraham, who was fully persuaded and convinced, before the law, that God could and would do what he promised only He could and only would do.
So what’s the will of God? It’s the will of God, the true will of God, that we realize HE WILL DO IT..
But what does the bible actually say about this? Well let’s find out…
Matthew 6:9-13
Therefore, the promise comes through faith,
so that it may be by grace (HIS POWER)
and may be guaranteed
to all who have the faith of Abraham.
Romans 4:21
being fully persuaded (faith) that God had the
POWER (HIS ABILITY) to do
what he had PROMISED (HIS WILL).
In fact, Jeremiah prophesied about the new covenant of faith. The Lord says, “I WILL make an eternal covenant with them.” It’s forever, and has no expiration! Our poor performance doesn’t cancel it? Our bad behavior doesn’t annul it? It’s not based on our performance. It’s a covenant of faith, in His Performance.
It’s the will of God, for us, that we realize that HE WILL perform it. And HIS WILL, for us, is simply, that WE BELIEVE WHAT HE WILL DO, and through believing it, we receive it, and this is the good news!
In fact the Lord says, “I WILL never stop doing good to them. ”Does it say that we must keep performing in order to receive it? No! It says, HE WILL never stop doing good to us!
So what must we do, in order to receive it? There’s only one condition, and that’s simply believe it! This is what we must do. It’s HIS WILL that we believe that HE WILL do what He promised ONLY He can do!
Jeremiah 32:40
I WILL make an everlasting covenant with them:
I WILL never stop doing good to them,
I WILL CAUSE YOU TO KEEP MY COMMANDMENTS
and I WILL inspire them to worship me,
so that THEY WILL never turn away from me.
Moreover, This new eternal covenant of faith, which is a result of His love, where he promises He will never stop doing good to us, will in turn cause us to keep his commandments. This covenant is a covenant that promises to overwhelm you and overtake you.
In other words, the promise of His Will is that He will be Bigger than your self-will. His good efforts in your life, will cause you to change, and will cause you to keep his commands. The fruit of this covenant is obedience, it’s not the root. Obedience is the fruit, and His love and goodness towards you is the root.
He binds himself eternally to it, declaring that He will NEVER STOP doing good to you, declaring that he will inspire you, and motivate you with the reality of this love until you explode with worship as you begin to realize His Love and Goodness. And what is the final result? You will never want to turn away from Him. His Experiential Love devotion will in turn inspire your love devotion, even unto death.
Jeremiah 32:40
I WILL make an everlasting covenant with them:
I WILL never stop doing good to them,
I WILL CAUSE YOU TO KEEP MY COMMANDMENTS
and I WILL inspire them to worship me,
so that THEY WILL never turn away from me.
You see, The covenant of faith only requires that we “do” one thing, and that is “believe in him, that is, what he has done, is doing, and promised only he can do.” It IS a covenant based on works, Just not ours! Our part is to believe in His Works! And what did he Promise He would do? He said, “I will never leave you.” Pause. I will never leave, nor forsake you.” Ever!
But isn’t it interesting that some people have made it their life’s ministry convincing people otherwise, and undermining the pure faith of those who simply rest and trust in HIS Promises and HIS Provision?
“Oh he might leave you they say, Oh you might lose your salvation they say, Oh he might throw you in the fire they say…” and it’s always if you don’t do this or don’t do that, or don’t do… do… do…. But with all of their requirements, they never tell you to “believe” that He will never leave you nor EVER forsake you! Believing IS “doing the will of God,” this is His will. HIS WILL is that you believe HE WILL.
Unfortunately, there are two gospels. The false gospel says, trust in your performance and what you can do for him. The true gospel says, believe and trust in His Performance and what He has done, is doing, and will do, to you for you and through you.
It’s only when you look at what He promised and take a stand to believe it, that a religious spirit will come and attempt to challenge you with other scripture, so that you might take your eyes off of the eternal covenant and put your trust in yourself, which is a temporary, works based false covenant.
It is the Lord who says, “I will give them eternal life!” It’s the liars that say, it’s not eternal, it’s only temporary, you can’t trust that. It’s the Lord who says, “And they will never perish.” It’s the liars that say, “Oh you might just, after all.” It’s the Lord who says, “I will never let you go.” Conversely it’s the Liars that say, “If you don’t perform well enough he might just let you go..” What will you believe?
2 Timothy 2:13
“I WILL never leave you; never will I forsake you.”
John 10:28-30
I WILL give them eternal life,
and they shall NEVER perish;
I WILL never let them go.
My Father, who has given them to me, is greater than all;
HE WILL never let them go.
But what is the Will of God? Well, the Lord was clear when He said, “This is the WILL OF THE FATHER, that, “I WILL lose none of all those given to me. None, means none. This is HIS WILL. His Power Promise is that He is able to keep you and protect you from not only yourself, but even from the powers and gods of this world. Nothing can remove you from His Love. Nothing in all of creation can overcome the Power of His Will.
And what is our responsibility? Perform, good works or deeds, and good behavior? Our only responsibility is to believe and trust what He promised HE WILL PERFORM. It is Him who said, “That all who come to him, I will NEVER CAST OUT! This is His Work, and our work is to believe in His Good Work, not try to perform it!
But the naysayers, who twist and pervert the gospel of faith, will say, “Oh you might, oh he might cast you out, if you don’t do, do, do.” But just remember, we “do his will” by believing in Him. It is HIS WILL that we believe and trust that HE WILL.
John 6:39
And this is the WILL of Him who sent Me,
that I WILL lose “none” of “all”
those He has given Me,
John 15:9
“All that the Father gives Me THEY WILL
come to Me, and the one who comes to Me
I WILL certainly not cast out.”
Well, someone might ask, “What happens if I lose faith? Well the answer remains the same. His will is that you trust He WILL, not that you trust YOU WILL. Trusting in your faith, is not the same as trusting in His Faithfulness in spite of your current state of faith.
True faith is not faith in yourself, or even faith in your own faith. That is not true faith, Faith is only true, when it is ONLY in Him. This is one of the lies of false teachers, whose goal is to shift your faith and trust, off of Him, so that you would now trust in your own great faith. It is true, our work is to believe, however it is false to believe our work is to believe in our work.
The covenant of faith, does not require that we place our faith in our faith. No, we place our faith in his faithfulness, even when our faith weans, and even when we lack faith the Lord says, “I WILL” remain faithful! He CANNOT deny you, you who have been sealed by the Holy Spirit! HE STILL REMAINS FAITHFUL! It’s His Will that we believe that HE WILL. Will you trust and believe in Him?
2 Timothy 2:13
if you are faithless,
I WILL REMAIN faithful,
for I CANNOT cannot deny MYSELF
They say, you have to keep yourself. They say, you are kept by what you do. But what does the gospel say? The Lord says, “I will keep you.” Does it say that your performance will keep you? Does it say that your ability to behave well enough will keep you? Does it say that you are kept by how many good deeds you do? Absolutely not!
The truth is, that it is the Lord who will keep us, and our only responsibility is to trust in the one who said He will do it! And how long will he do it? All the way to the end! Does it say, possibly to the end? Does it say, as long as you perform? No it says, all the way to the end! In other words, the work is complete, and covers your entire future! Remember, this is an eternal covenant.
And He who started it will finish it until completion, all the way to the end, but especially until the day of Christ Jesus! This means tribulation or not, it doesn’t matter, He who began it, will carry it! It’s his burden, not ours! It’s His job and performance, not ours! Our job is to simply believe it!
1 Corinthians 1:8
I WILL also keep you firm to the end, so that you will be blameless on the day of our Lord Jesus Christ. God is faithful,
Philippians 1:6
The good work I began in you,
I WILL carry it on to completion
until the day of Christ Jesus.
Well, they say, “you have to remain Holy, because without holiness, nobody will see the Lord.” Not sure if you know this, but holiness, is another word for sanctification, or to sanctify. In the Greek, “sanct” means “Holy,” and “ify” means to fill.
In other words, to be sanctified, is to simply be filled with the Holy Spirit. But is this our work, or His? How are we filled with the Holy Spirit? Is it a result of our performance, or His performance?
Well, the gospel of faith is clear! It is the Lord that said, “I WILL” sanctify you entirely! Is it our job? No! Who said they would do it? He did! How much will he do? Just a little, at first, and the rest is up to you? No! Absolutely Not! He said, entirely! Why? Because He is faithful!
Our work is to believe in His Work! The way we “do the will of the Father,” is by believing and trusting in Him. So what is the will of God? It’s His Will that we believe and Trust HE WILL!
1 Thessalonians 5:23
I WILL sanctify you entirely; and your spirit and soul and body will be preserved complete, without blame at the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ.
Faithful am I who calls you,
I WILL bring it to pass …
With an entire smorgasbord of threats and conspiracy theories to focus on, it’s easy for us to shift our attention from His power, to their power, from His Protection, to their Potential harm. And before you know it, the New World Order, and Cabal, is Bigger than God. What the gods, and dragon and the aliens have planned, is bigger than what Jesus, the ruler of the Universe has preventatively planned.
So do we need to trust in our AR-15’s, or our emergency food supply, or our bug out prepper plans? Absolutely not! We use wisdom, but our trust is in His Protection, and his ability to keep us safe and rescue us from every attack of the enemy! It is HIS WILL! And our job, is to believe HE WILL!
It is him who said, “I WILL, rescue you from EVERY evil attack, I WILL bring you SAFELY, to my heavenly kingdom. I WILL keep you safe from the dragon, and HE WILL NOT HARM YOU!” Lord, we repent of our fears, and lack of faith in your Will for our lives. We re-shift our focus from our fears to your faithfulness. In Jesus Name, Amen!
2 Tim 4:18
I WILL rescue you from EVERY attack and
I WILL bring you safely
to my heavenly kingdom
1 John 5:18
I WILL keep you safe
and the evil one WILL NOT harm you.
We are bombarded, daily, by threats of war with China, what the Democrats or Republicans are doing, the crash of the economy and the banks, war with Russia, and the ever present impending doom of the great reset, mixed with the fear of being controlled by AI. It never ends.
But the good news is, that we have a covenant, and if you don’t, you can, with Him, with Him who cares enough to remind us, and teach us to not “fear for He is with us, and to not be dismayed,” and why? Because He is not only with us, but that, “HE will strengthen us, and help us, and will uphold us.”
He only asks that we trust him, and to take hold of his right hand, by not fearing and believing in His Will. And what is His Will? He says, “I WILL” help you, don’t be dismayed! I will never leave you nor forsake you, I am your God, the God of the gospel, the God you can Trust. The God who says, no to your performance, and yes, to your faith. I simply require that you believe. It’s time we start believing.
Isaiah 41
So do not fear, for I am with you; do not be dismayed, for I am your God.
I WILL strengthen you and help you;
I WILL uphold you with my righteous right hand.
For I am the Lord your God who takes hold of your right hand and says to you, Do not fear;
I WILL help you.
It’s time we let the revelation of the true gospel take hold of our hearts, and inspire us, motivate us, and change us. It’s time we take our focus off of our own performance and self-preservation, and put it on Him, who is Faithful, Him who Promised, and Him who said, “I WILL.”
The truth has been confused and twisted by them who use fear to control the flock, by them who yield fear instead of love, by them who take advantage of our submissive obedient natures, so that we would obey and succumb to the iron rod of fear!
But we now have the truth. Then they asked him, “what must we do to do the works God requires, what must we do to “do his will,” and Jesus answered, ” the work of God is this: to believe in Me!” That is what I have done, am doing, and promised that only I can do! You can’t do it, nor have I required it.
The answer remains the same. His will is that you realize HE WILL, and YOU WILL, because HE WILL! AMEN.
Matthew 7:21
“Not everyone who says to me, ‘Lord, Lord,’ will enter the kingdom of heaven, but only the one who does the will of my Father who is in heaven.“
John 6:28
Then they asked him,
“What must we do to do the will of God?”
Jesus replied, “The will of God is this:
to believe in me (WHAT HAVE, CAN & WILL DO)”…
HIS WILL IS THAT YOU REALIZE HE WILL!
AND YOU WILL, BECAUSE HE WILL!
and then
