Guilt and Grace
by Max Lucado

Sometime ago I read a story of a youngster who was shooting rocks with a slingshot. He could never hit his target. As he returned to Grandma's backyard, he spied her pet duck. On impulse he took aim and let fly. The stone hit, and the duck was dead. The boy panicked and hid the bird in the woodpile, only to look up and see his sister watching.

After lunch that day, Grandma told Sally to help with the dishes. Sally responded, "Johnny told me he wanted to help in the kitchen today. Didn't you Johnny?" And she whispered to him, "Remember the duck!" So, Johnny did the dishes.

What choice did he have? For the next several weeks he was at the sink often. Sometimes for his duty, sometimes for his sin. "Remember the duck," Sally'd whisper when he objected.

So weary of the chore, he decided that any punishment would be better than washing more dishes, so he confessed to killing the duck. "I know, Johnny," his grandma said, giving him a hug. "I was standing at the window and saw the whole thing. Because I love you, I forgave you. I wondered how long you would let Sally make a slave out of you." (Steven Cole, "Forgiveness," Leadership Magazine, 1983, 86.)

He'd been pardoned, but he thought he was guilty. Why? He had listened to the words of his accuser.

You have been accused as well. You have been accused of dishonesty. You've been accused of immorality. You've been accused of greed, anger, and arrogance.

Every moment of your life, your accuser is filing charges against you. Even his name, Diabolos, means "slanderer." Who is he? The devil.

As he speaks, you hang your head. You have no defense. His charges are fair. "I plead guilty, your honor," you mumble.

"The sentence?" Satan asks.

"The wages of sin is death," explains the judge, "but in this case the death has already occurred. For this one died with Christ."

Satan is suddenly silent. And you are suddenly jubilant. You realize that Satan cannot accuse you. No one can accuse you! Fingers may point and voices may demand, but the charges glance off like arrows hitting a shield. No more dirty dishwater. No more penance. No more nagging sisters. You have stood before the judge and heard him declare, "Not guilty."

>>>We're talking about Soul prosperity... From the Amplified Bible 3 John 1:2

Beloved, I pray that you may prosper in every way and [that your body] may keep well, even as [I know] your soul keeps well and prospers.

your Soul is the Mind, Emotion and the Will... so how to nourish the soul? feed it JESUS...

It's like seeing yourself as Christ is... 2 Corinthians 3:18

And all of us, as with unveiled face, [because we] continued to behold [in the Word of God] as in a mirror the glory of the Lord, are constantly being transfigured into His very own image in ever increasing splendor and from one degree of glory to another; [for this comes] from the Lord [Who is] the Spirit.

this is soul prosperity... it's nothing to do with positive thinking 'cos it can only bring you so far... you need to See Jesus and yourself like it were a mirror... then we'll be changed into His own image from glory to glory... getting better and better... this in not just Spiritual splendor, it's also physical splendor...

The more you see Jesus, the more you become... Is Jesus healing to you? then He IS your healing... Is Jesus prosperous? He has all the riches in the world... what the devil put those gold and silver in the earth? NO! It was Jesus!

behold Jesus and His goodness shall pass over your life... Knowledge is a fruit of soul prosperity... Proverbs 24:3,4

Through skillful and godly Wisdom is a house (a life, a home, a family) built, and by understanding it is established [on a sound and good foundation],

And by knowledge shall its chambers [of every area] be filled with all precious and pleasant riches.

The word Knowledge in Hebrew is דצה
ד is a picture of the door
צ is a picture of the eye
ה is the picture of the cross: Jesus finished work - grace

so knowledge means: in your coming in and going out, see Jesus and his grace... you'll have precious and pleasant riches stored for you...

beloved joel.

Plainly Beloved -

Because He died on the cross to set me free.
