MY FAITH
BAR MARSTERS

Man’s Holy Trinity is “me, myself & I”... I say this with experience....I being Rand Marsters

God’s Holy Trinity is “God the Father, God the Son, & God the Holy Spirit; one God in three persons; the Holy Trinity of Love.

Acts 2:38 Peter replied; “repent and be baptized, every one of you, in the Name of Jesus Christ for all the forgiveness of your sins, and you will receive the gift of the Holy Spirit.”

It’s not how much of His Holy Spirit I have, because God the Father thru His Son Jesus Christ gives me all of His Holy Spirit within me; but, it’s how much of me does His Holy Spirit have, because of my choices to be...IN HIM...THRU HIM...OF HIM...FOR HIM...LIKE HIM...??

How much does my sinful nature hinder & block my walking the walk, to be in HIM I live & move & have my being?  He judges the thoughts & intentions of my heart.  Hebrews 4:12
Where is the evidence of how much of me does His Spirit have?

  • Fearlessness to speak of Christ my Lord & Redeemer & Savior
  • Joyful to sing & praise Jesus Christ the Sacrificial Lamb of God
  • To be courageous & bold for Christ’s sake
  • Selflessness, serving others, giving time, money, love for brethren & leaders of the faith
  • Being ready to look for his return. 1 Thessalonians 4
  • Steadfast in faith, wanting only to please Him in all that I do
  • Yielding, willingness to suffer for Christ, in humble obedience, accepting rejection and loss

Weighing the loss, how do I (we) measure up?

He that hath my commandments & keeps them, he it is that hath loved me ... John 13
He Himself bore our sins in His body, on the tree (cross), so that we might die to our sins & live for righteousness.  By His wounds we are healed, for we were all like sheep gone astray...1 Peter 2:23
Jesus said, “I have come into this world as light, so that no one who believes in me should stay in darkness” John 12:46

Joseph said, “How then could I do such a wicked thing & sin against God.” Genesis 39:9

People (you and I are a people), often think they will be FREE if they can get away from God. Yet we all inevitably serve somebody or something; whether a human king, an organization, party, or even our own selfish desires, (bondage, slavery to our sinful nature) like a fish out of water, or a tree out of soil, we are not free when we choose to run from God.

John 8:31 To the Jews who had believed Him, Jesus said, “if you hold to my teaching you are really my disciples, and then you will know the truth and the truth will set you free.”

John 14:6 Jesus answered, “I am the way, and the truth, and the life, no one comes to the Father, except through me.”

Keep me from worthless thoughts and deeds that I might not sin against You Lord. It is right to do so...”Lord, you know I love you”...”feed my sheep.”

“Come and listen all you who fear God, let me tell you what He has done for me.” Psalm 66:16

“Yes, I am coming soon.” Amen, come Lord Jesus.

Bless the Lord o my soul & all that is in me, Bless His Holy Name ...........IHS       BAR Marsters

“When I’m gone, would the fact that I’d been here, be worth repeating, when I’m gone would my life on this old earth be worthwhile?  My legacy, what will it be, will He be pleased, My Lord and Master, or will He say, “I never knew you, get thee behind me,” or will He say “well done my friend, enter in.” My legacy, what will it be? (Music & lyrics by B.A. Rand Marsters)

Save me, for I am Yours, I have sought out your word... Psalm 119:94

“Christ’s death; the shedding of His Holy sacrificial Blood; His Victory over Death, by His Resurrection & appearance to many & ascension to the Father is History, & real to me as I read & study The Word since a kid in Sunday school many years ago. His resurrection & Holy Spirit in me is as real as Broiled Fish on the shores of the Sea of Galilee& testimonies of His presence & indwelling Spirit’s power of Blessings & discipline in my life. Not all that wander are lost. Thank God

Christ hates sin, but loves the sinner. God's plan of Salvation is a gift of Grace for us to accept or reject. I choose the Risen Christ & Eternal Life Thru Him to the Father. I certainly know I have a sinful nature to back up Ecclesiastes 8:11, 12, and 13.

As my mother sings & I too claim the 1911 old hymn by Chas. H. Gabriel , ' An Evening Prayer "
" If I have wounded any soul today, If I have caused one foot to go astray, If I have walked in my own willful way, Dear Lord,  Forgive."
“If I have uttered idle in vain, If I have turned aside from want or pain, Lest I offend some other thru the strain, Dear Lord, Forgive.”
“If I have been perverse, or hard, or cold, If I have longed for shelter in the fold, When thou has given me some fort to hold, Dear Lord, Forgive”
“Forgive the sins I have confessed to Thee; Forgive the secret sins I do not see; O guide me, love me, and my keeper be.”


 
1 Corinthians 6: 18 thru 20 .......Do you not know that your Body is a Temple of the Holy Spirit, Who is in you, Whom you have received from God? You are not your own; you were bought at Price. Therefore Honor/Glorify God with your body & Spirit (mind & Soul). Christ Jesus, the sacrificial Lamb of God, gave His Life for us, shed His forgiveness of sins Blood for us & rose up from the dead for us so that we who confess Him as Savior, the Son of God, King of Kings, Lord of Lords may have Eternal Life.
 
Only a True God would be HOLY, HOLY, HOLY & would ask us to conform to His Image; to be Christ like, crucify your sins ; work out your salvation with fear & trembling, for it is God Who worketh in you to will & act according to His Good Purpose..Phil: 2:12, 3
Read Matt. 11: 27, 28.  Jesus said, “Take My yoke upon you& learn from me, for I am gentle & humble in heart, and you will find rest for your souls. For my yoke is easy and my burden light.
