I beheld the Perfect Law of Liberty lately, He is the One who abide the 10 Commandments for me.
I beheld the Perfect Law of Liberty lately, I did not die but live, for He is the One who gave me His righteousness.
James 1:25 But he who looks into the perfect law of liberty and continues in it, and is not a forgetful hearer but a doer of the work, this one will be blessed in what he does.
James 1:24 for he observes himself, goes away, and immediately forgets what kind of man he was.
James 1:23 For if anyone is a hearer of the word and not a doer, he is like a man observing his natural face in a mirror;
James 1:22 But be doers of the word, and not hearers only, deceiving yourselves.
I looked into the Mirror lately, I saw perfect beauty in the Mirror... that’s me.
I looked into the Mirror lately, I saw a righteous man in the Mirror... and that’s me!
I stood in front of the Mirror and observed myself lately, I realized I was fearfully made by the Creator of this universe.
I stood in front of the Mirror and observed myself lately, I realized I am the righteousness of God in Christ Jesus.
Oooh... I have been brought back to simplicity lately, where the Holy Spirit first convicted me of Jesus' righteousness when I first put my trust in Him.
Oooh... I have been brought back to the basic lately, where the Holy Spirit first gave me the gift of speaking in tongue and I spoke out in marvel...
I stand in front of the Mirror and observing myself today, I realize I have not been a doer of Word. My heart is breaking...
I stand in front of the Mirror and observing myself today, I realize I have been a doer of my own word. My tear is falling...

I am now looking into the Mirror, I see perfect beauty in the Mirror and that’s my natural face.
I am now looking into the Mirror, I see a righteous man like Abraham and that’s my natural man!
I am now beholding the Perfect Law of Liberty and He is the One who abide the 10 Commandments for me.
I am now beholding the Perfect Law of Liberty and I am living forevermore, for He is the One who gives me His righteousness.
Now, I am a hearer of Word and I am a doer of Word. Whenever I walk away from this Mirror, the one and only thing I have to do is to BELIEVE that I am the righteousness of God in Christ Jesus. Ooooh... He brings me back to basic and He brings me back to my First Love... I am now like an eagle renewing its youth.
I never know that it is so easy to be a doer of Word. Oh it is so easy to be a doer of Word… but men complicated it. I asked the Lord why is it soooo easy? He simply answered, “Son, this is My grace…”
Wow! It is really so easy...by His grace and His grace alone, not our effort or good works but His unearned, unmerited favour!
ReplyDeleteI wept when I wrote this post on my breakfast table this morning...
ReplyDeleteEven I have been enlightened by His grace, I have complicated His grace with my religiosity.
I praise Him for He brings me back to the basic, to my first love.... and I feel like I'm the "EAGLE" that we are talking about. He is renewing my youth spiritually.
To be exact, I have not been a doer of word for these past 9 years and 10 months, exactly 9 years and 10 months... I was a doer of my own word, I was sharing my own grace...
From now on, I want to share His Grace... the radical kind of grace!
Amen! This applies to me too...:)
ReplyDeleteAlan, what a great post this is.
ReplyDeleteWhat came to my mind after reading this post is this passage of Scriptures: Matthew 11:28-30 "Are you tired? Worn out? Burned out on religion? Come to me. Get away with me and you'll recover your life. I'll show you how to take a real rest. Walk with me and work with me—watch how I do it. Learn the unforced rhythms of grace. I won't lay anything heavy or ill-fitting on you. Keep company with me and you'll learn to live freely and lightly." (The Message Bible)
Thank you Maurice. Indeed Kat knows you well... You do give precious comment.
ReplyDeleteI am on Matthew 7 for the related revelation in respect of the foolish builders. Matthew 7 & 11 is near anyway!
Kat get the prophetic gift from Facebook... This eagle is renewing his youth in spiritual first than manifestation comes on physical!
Lets learn the unforced rhythms of grace. Indeed, He won't lay anything heavy or ill-fitting on us. Keep company with Him and we'll learn to live freely and lightly.
Blessing...
Amen!
ReplyDelete"On the lips of him who has understanding, wisdom is found... The tongue of the righteous is as choice silver.. The lips of the righteous feed many.. The mouth of the righteous brings forth wisdom.. The lips of the righteous know what is acceptable" Pro 10:13,20,21,31,32
And Angie who walks with the wise grows wise! ;p
Only one thing... that is His righteousness.
ReplyDeleteThe rest are the fruits of righteousness. We have been distracted for too long! Our gracious Jesus wants us to focus on His righteousness and He'll do the rest. That is why He sent the Holy Spirit to convict us of righteousness! The Holy Spirit has been convicting the believers of righteousness since that Pentecost 2,000 years ago.
Awakening is here. This is the focus for the GRACE REVOLUTION!!!!
FASTEN YOUR SEAT-BELT EVERYONE!!!!
It's about time that believers saw this text, and the rest of the book of James, according to the finished work of the cross, instead of our own effort.
ReplyDeleteIt is so easy Paul! Only one thing - His righteousness! Do what the Holy Spirit is doing, it is soooo easy! Preach this to your people!
ReplyDeleteYES, YES!!! SEEING IS BELIEVING, AND BELIEVING IS DOING!!
ReplyDeleteIt is good to know who we are now - thanks for this awesome post!!!!
To be a doer of Word is to believe that we are righteous. But how hard is it to believe we are righteous?
ReplyDeleteIt must be hard for man to believe for the Christian circle have been struggling for over two thousand years and still need to be taught on the issue of righteous which is actually our real identity!
But not anymore!!!!!
