Oswald Chambers: Beware of human holiness that is not based on the atonement of the Lord.
It has no value for anything expect a life or isolation-it is useless to God and a nuisance to man. We cannot do anything for God unless we deliberately build on the foundation of the atonement be the Cross of Christ.
Oswald Chambers: Beware of human holiness that denies the reality of natural life- it is a fraud. Continually bring yourself to the trail of the test of the atonement and ask."Where is the discernment of the atonement in this, or it that.
The most annoying and frustrating work in being a Christian is trying to be an example to this world, and falling short each and every time. In my time of being called stuck up and a whatever. I thought to myself think Charles!!! shut them up ol hard heads.lol Wanted to say so many times back off I'm learning man.
People mean well and I'm as guilty as the next with trying to get people to a standard that pleases Charles. Be this and do that and be this and do that. It's like telling your Grandma to run the 40 in 4.5 seconds ?? lol She will say boy are you out of your mind. So what people are use to and know are it's who they are right??
Ever been in church and everyone is annoying overly nice?? I have I use to regret the shaking of hands before the sermon. People would shake hands with a nice smile walk away man I hate that guy lol. So what does that do ??? what does fake act.com do??? It gives people a idea that the Lord is a not real just anther religion.
That bothers me I know He is real and I have that reality in His presence. Nothing wrong with having manners and nothing wrong with being nice, I was making a point. But when we have to be fake to prove God, we have disproved Him.
I look at it this way He created the universe with a word!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Charles doesn't have to be fake for people to know Him!!!!!! I proved a mighty point at my last job. I didn't way a word I was an anti social lol:) killed me but in that I saw people drawn to Him, Charles let God be God and by faith I saw people drawn to him.
I got so tired of people (((limiting)))) the Lord I know and serve to a set of rules or a moral. When I'm in Christ those things are a must the Spirit bears conscience to those very things. So to focus and worry about them 24/7 what I am doing I'm limiting God. So the gameplan is receiving and walking in His love and He will program your hindpot to be a person with a higher standard and a Holy to do list.
So when I'm in Christ: it produces (((morals))) a (((conscience))) and a good to do list. When I get away from that, I become a self righteous chump. Nothing wrong with feeling good about yourself and sure nothing wrong with reaching a standard that gives glory to the Lord. But it's wrong when you get away the reason you are who you are, in the Power of Christ.
I finger point yep sure do, some people I believe need a good finger point to hit that conscience to say your wrong chill out. But I don't nit pick to a point it ticks folks off lol. for example watch your thoughts lol ahahah. People, People, no one can do that, thats satans first battle tactic. (((Renew))) your mind daily in the Spirit and let the Lord help you control your thoughts.
Salvation: The Holy Spirit gives me a new conscience, mind, passion in life, and a new to do list, that is pleasing to God. The Spirit makes me a spotless lamp to the King.
Jesus came to deliver not burden.

Oswald Chambers: God does not give us overcoming life-He gives us life as we overcome. But we have to take initiative. If we will take initiative to overcome, we will find that we have the inspiration of God, because He immediately gives us the power of life.
Oswald Chambers: Every element of our own self reliance must be put to death by the power of God. The moment we recognize our complete weakness and our ((dependence)) upon Him will be the very moment that the Spirit of God will exhibit His power.
I am the type of person I have to have a plan in my day, I am not a free styler. Bet your saying this guy using Chambers a lot lol. Yes I do what he teaches and says is so ((clear)) you can't twist it and it's non debatable. You can the Bible sad but true, ticks me off to see that happen. So I kinda found a way of teaching that can't be debated. (((AMEN)))
What was Oswald saying up there??? Well it's like this. As I said in the last devotion I can go through my day assuming I'm under grace or I can know I'm under Grace. It's good to know and to have (((confidence))) that devil guy is a bully a serious bully. So I mean what?? going to assume things or have a gameplan in your days?
I'll tell you my gameplan and has been for 6 years now and it works. I pray all the time in my head, I have full dependence on the Lord in my self and temptations, I let Him stir my heart and convictions, for ((my shoes)) not Billy's. I give the Lord respect and that brings His fullness in my life. I don't assume He forgives me of ...... or wear a rainbow shirt or hug people or say Lord Have mercy!!!!!!!!
Those things annoy me to the 100th power. Ok a clue people the rainbow is OT and ((only)) a promise not to flood the earth again, and natural love can never cover sin, I'm sure Hitler hugged his soldiers for a good days work or some women who knows, and the ((extent)) of God's mercy is in His Spirit. Using these things to cover guilt is total insanity.
So assuming things kinda makes us look like religious people with no gameplan. Ok change that start receiving the Lord as much as possible in your days or stress and worry and fear. Jesus came to deliver us from burdens not to lay them on us. Take my yolk for it is easy and light. He never said suffer!!!!!!!!!! He said when bad times come take my yolk and learn from me.
So wearing a I'm forgiven not perfect T shirt doesn't impress the Lord lol. He wants people totally consumed in His Love to be who we are called to be. I'm not perfect I don't care to be and I sure am not going to be fake to prove a God that can prove Himself. I simple have a gameplan everyday of my life and I make sure I am consumed in His love to be pleasing to Him.
Remember the only thing that pleases God is HImself. So the gameplan is ((pray)) ((receive His love)) ((Live in His Love)) and no one alive can judge you, no one. Who's above Him??? tell me?? apply that and be free of religious burdens.

Romans 6:11 In the same way, count yourselves dead to sin but alive to God (((in))) Christ Jesus.
21 What benefit you reap at that time from the things result in death!22 But now you have been set free from sin and become slaves to God, the (((benefit))) you reap is holiness <(((conscience))) and the result eternal life.
Romans 7:6 But now, by dying to what once bound us, we have been released from the law so we may serve in the ((new)) way the Spirit, not the old way of the written code.
Oswald Chambers: We have to recognize that sin is a fact of life, not just a shortcoming, sin is blatant mutiny against God, and either sin or God must die in my life. The New Testament brings us right down to this issue-if sin rules in me, God's life in me will be killed; if God rules me in me, sin will be killed. There is nothing more fundamental than that.
Really the the passages by Paul and Oswald speak for themselves. :) The question is what are we a slave to ?? What does your mind and soul yearn for?? And what is your motivation in life and goals as a person and your relationship to Jesus Christ? Separation from God or a daily renewal through the Holy Spirit on a daily basis as many times as it takes a day to stay in connection with the Lord.
It's like a gameplan either you go in life or your day without a plan and saying durrr God's got me?? Or you go to God for help and the Spirit testifies for help and restoration for that day.
Knowing the salvation plan is the battle won.
So without a gameplan and awareness of the things around us and not (((expecting))) God to do something He expects us to take the salvation plan and He will. Satan is a genius and a harassing bully and without that applied daily you will fall away somehow. Remember a growing plant is a watered plant.
So I'm either a slave to sin or a slave to God???
I'm free I'm no one's slave people may say. Ok get the context of the meaning, discern it in the Spirit. Whatever controls you you are a slave to. If any sin controls you to a point you can't control it go to the Lord and really ask for it to be cut out.
I sin first one to admit I'm getting harassed by some moron. With threats and such, and I would like to jab him in the nose, would make me feel better. But not letting that thought and emotion
((control)) me and not acting out on it. That is a battle won. So not punching him and just thinking about it it's not controlling me lol.
Last night I repented of a lot of bitterness, and a lot of anger and emotions. I said Lord ya know I'm not perfect and I will never be. You know my heart, motive, and drive, and passions. Can you please purify them in your Spirit. And this morning He done just that.
My ((action)) awareness and not being a self righteous man and showing humility to the Lord gave me a new heart and start for today. Might have to do it again soon lol. It's like a wrestling match me Vs me Vs satan's chump temptations.
As WWE and TNA may call the three way match.
First I have to closeline satan out the ring with his chump mind games and than I have to go to the Lord and pin myself for victory in that sin.
In the Spirit all day everyday can I have ((total)) victory in myself and in the Lord's eyes in His Spirit I'm a spotless lamb:)
Gamplan=salvation lived

Oswald Chambers: Our spiritual life cannot be measured by the success as the world measures it, but only by what God pours through us- and we cannot measure it at all.
Romans 1:16 I am not ashamed of the Gospel, because the power of God for the salvation of everyone who (((believes))); first for the Jew, then for the Gentile.
Can I mix my daily tasks with the work of God??
Why sure you can:) Jesus told the nuts I must work because my Father works. He wasn't talking about worldly work but Spiritual service.
Workers are few?? as in church as in ministry?? Nah got enough of them lol:) I think there is a 5 year wait for a Sunday school teacher spot lol.
The work of God can be anywhere anytime and any place:) He is not limited by a church a ministry or even certain people for that matter.
The proof and reality of God is in His presence.
I was in an atheist chat other night, kinda brought up some points and while I made ((simple)) points that grabs hearts, I was praying in the Spirit for those people to be drawn to His Love.
See when I argue facts and what not what am I doing?? I pretty much told God yo I got this trying to win someone with facts apart from His love. There is nothing in the world wrong with being knowledgeable and smart full of info. Can't argue anyone to the faith. Ok back to daily tasks in Christ. Same thing as church service,
I must receive Him to be the reality of God to people in my life.
I've had many days and appointments with people I never said a word to God asked me to pray for and being filled I was an offering for that person. So the worker for God is simply the one that abides in Him. Some say dude are you nuts do you know my job?? Do you know what I have to deal with. Why yes I understand still no excuse lol. Can't play the player been there we have no excuses for not being in the Lord for the world around us none.
Don't stop doing ministry work or church service my point is God isn't limited to just those works.
It's rewarding lol see some people at your jobs getting all nutty over small things and your like should have taken your Gospil:)<<John Hagee's saying and a good one amen. In Christ is abiding in Christ, salvation is abiding in Christ and your Rock and foundation is built on Abiding in Christ.
Anything else is dry unfruitful labor no thanks no whats the word ((reality)) of my Lord there and I kinda like reality and I'm pretty sure others do also amen. So in your daily tasks receive the Lord and be a Spirit filled Abiding Child of the King AMEN:)

1 Corinthians 3:1 Brothers, I could not address you as spiritual but as worldly-mere infants in Christ. 2 I gave you milk, not solid food, for were not yet ready for it. For indeed, you are still not ready.3 You are still worldly.
1 Corinthians 3:18 Do not deceive yourselves. If anyone of you thinks he is wise by the standard of this age, he should become a fool so that he may become wise.
This is anther huge issue in the body of Christ. People look at this verse label themselves and a baby and stay there lol. Had a guy at my old church would say over and over I'm a babe in Christ.
Ok what was Paul getting at??? Well, let me tell you. Ok a baby can't feed itself it depends on the mother to feed it milk. Ok your spiritual leader is your mother and you depend on that person for milk (((Holy Spirit))). Can that person feed you all week and make sure your in the Lord and such??
No, they cant and they sure can't keep you content in the Spirit to stay away from sin a lot land. So what needs to happen??? Baby you need to grow up!!!!!!!!!!!!! lol:) Nothing hard and take those hands off your hips peter panners.
It's not a bad thing to grow and mature into a solid vessel for the Lord, (((really))) amazing I have to say:) You have to soke in the Sprit everyday every chance you get. Many ways you can in your car pop in some Spirit filled music., you can pray anytime of the day for the anointing of the Spirit. (((Simple Things)))
I'm not nit picking or saying your whatever, I'm simple saying take your salvation seriously. A secret that keeps me in the Lord is this. Salvation is not self righteousness not Christ righteousness, no man, nut, nit picker, dry bone annoying believer can judge you in the Spirit of Christ. Learn to feed off the Spirit for growth.
Spiritual Growth: Growth is when a Believer have Christ center conscience and see a need for their Lord on a daily basis. And with that applied everyday is a learning experience that matures us in Christ.
Jesus didn't come to burden us make life harder or even make us people we are not. He came and died to open that door to a un clean people to wash them in His loving Spirit. To make salvation less or more than that your ((wrong)).
Stop having a million excuses to run from a love that makes us clean and spotless to the one you call Lord.

John 6:53 Jesus said to them,"I tell you the truth, ((unless)) you eat the flesh of the Son of Man and drink His blood, you have no life in you.
54 Whoever eats my flesh and drinks my blood has eternal life, and I will raise him up on the last day. 58 but who (((feeds))) on this bread will live forever.
John 6:51 Aware of the disciples were grumbling about this, Jesus said to them, "Does this offend you? 63 The words I have spoken are Spirit and they are life. 64 Yet they are some of you who don't believe.
Common sense tells me if I don't eat and drink my body will die right? Sure I'm not the first one to teach this and will not be the last. Your Spirit is just in need of feeding as your body. For growth, maturity, and stability and I got a bit of sense.com.
Key words are in the words of the Lord . Life ((unless)) you eat and drink of my Spirit you will die spiritually like it or not. ((Feeds)) is an action word as in John 3:16 to believes is an action word. Ok I eat a combo at burger King, I'm full and content until the next morning and than I'll eat again. Same thing with your spirit you have to make it a habit to feed and receive the Spirit for growth and (((salvation))).
I'm not saying you have to shave your head get all nutty. All the Lord asks us is to receive Him when we feel our hearts and conscience's getting cold careless and hard. Hate and coldness is of the enemy and considered darkness we have to stay in the Lord to avoid that. So the reality is I need to receive the Holy Spirit daily for stability and contentment to keep me from darkness.
Its all so simple sooooo simple: pray this prayer any time you feel overwhelmed or feel like you about to make mistakes that might hurt you in your life:
Lord Jesus I'm far from perfect I understand that. Lord fill my life and heart with your Love,
(((Spirit)))) Lord Jesus give me power to be the stable person that pleases you in life. Lord I need you today to keep my foot from slipping.
Lord forgive me for my sins and help me forgive myself and give my security in your Spirit that you have forgiven me. In Jesus Name I pray Amen.

1 John 1:6 If we claim to have fellowship with Him yet walk in darkness, we lie and we do not live by the truth. 7 But if we walk in the light as He is in the light, we have fellowship with one anther, and the blood (((Spirit))) of Jesus, his son, purifies us from all sin.
Psalm 34:21 Evil will slay the wicked; the foes of the righteous will be condemned. 22 The Lord redeems His servants; no one will be condemned who takes refugee in Him.
Charles Spurgeon: They laugh at you; they dance upon their own graves. At last they die! Your delicacy is cruelty; your flatteries are poisons; you are a murderer. Shall we keep men in a fool's paradise? Shall we lull them into soft slumbers from which they awake in hell? Are we to become helpers to their damnation by our smooth speeches? In the name of God we will not.
What is the most effective witness or preaching or even warning from the Lord? In any successful relationship there has to be respect between both people right?? If I claim to have a relationship with Jesus yet walk in total darkness hate etc. Who's playing who for the fool?? Me?? The Lord?? someone else?? Answer is me, I don't have to answer for no one but me.
I don't preach from my own conscience or teach for that matter. Why do you say?? Well, my growth will never stop in this life. So in knowing that and God expects me to teach and preach His standard and not my own, He is Lord not Charles. So everything I say comes from my Spiritually conscience in the Spirit of Grace.
When I preach my own opinions and conscience what happens?? As Spurgeon said I am a murderer, why would you say such a thing?? Because preaching from my own conscience I leave men and women in their sins and that is death as the Bible teaches ((clearly)), a spiritual death that condemns us. Religion without power defined.
I don't believe in pounding people with rules and burdens that depresses them to a point of insanity. I believe in preaching what is right and what is wrong and I believe in showing people their ((need)) to be ((transformed)) in the Spirit ((Grace)) of God. Does that change who you are????: No Does that steal your God given personality No. It gives you a new to do list and a warm heart in the Spirit of Grace, that's living people.
I've been labeled boring, a robot and everything I'm not under the sun. Yes, I did keep to myself for the longest time. I had a message a truth on my heart the Lord put there to share and I had to learn and think of the best way to present it. And sometimes to learn we must shut up and learn. I've been labeled so much now I'm like thanks for your opinion you nice kind person.
We are to teach perfection we are to proclaim the Gospel of power and not the gospel of excuse. We are to bring up mountains in the Lord and not fall fall fall and never catch root.
They fall because of no reason to stand, they don't see a need to stand think about it people. I'm not perfect but I'm not going to cripple people around me in my imperfection. I see a need and I want others to see the same need. God uses Spirit filled children of need for Him, not arrogant dead ((spiritually)) opinion holders.
What is your message?? Examine your words to people?? Do you show them a need or are you selling Jesus?? People have to see a need before they can fall at the Lord's feet and repent. Show them thier need the best way you know how.

Titus 3:4 He saved us ((through)) the washing of the rebirth and renewal by the Holy Spirit, whom he poured out generously through Jesus Christ our Savior.
Oswald Chambers: Yet the New Testament is about the work of God and nothing else. When I commit myself to the revealed truth of the New Testament, I receive from God the gift of the Holy Spirit. The Spirit of God does in me internally all that Jesus Christ did for me externally.
When I teach the Gospel of Grace what should be my goal? ((a)) For people to say they are believers and claim the name. ((b)) For people to give money to ministries. ((c)) Transformed by the Love ((Spirit)) of God?
Ok does saying a believer labeling who I am get me into heaven or right standing with the Lord?
Does giving money to other ministries earn points with the Lord? Both are a no, the answer is C that is the only thing that makes sense and shows grace and Jesus in this life. A and B are good but are pointless without C.
I've been on that dry yo I love Jesus road and man is it pointless and lifeless. Without that Holy Spirit recharge everyday your going to lose conscience its that simple. People hate what I say people look at me with hate in their eyes at what I teach and have taught. Why do you say??? Well, they hate the light the Spirit, and the conviction the Holy Spirit brings of what's right and wrong.
Without that applied we have no hope in the Lord, how can I claim someone I don't know and the only way to know the Lord is in the Spirit anything else is pointless without that applied.
No water no life no Holy Spirit no eternal life.

Jeremiah 1:17 Get yourself ready! Stand up and ((say)) to them whatever I command you. Do not be terrified by them, or I will terrify you before them.
Ezekiel 2:7 You must speak my words to them, whether they listen of fail to listen, for they are rebellious. 8 Do not rebel like that rebellious house, open your mouth and eat what I have given you.
Ezekial 3:8 But I will make you as unyielding and as hardened as they are. I will make your forehead like the hardest stone, harder than flint.
I love those verses God preparing His prophets for (((spiritual))) war. You know I think it's a good thing for separation for church and state for one reason. Some people get out of preaching and running their mouth to brute force their faith on people like the Muslims do. God in all His power and might gives us a choice who are we to do otherwise?
Did the Lord tell His Prophets to start a war with swords and force people to love and respect Him? No, He simply said ((preach)) write the letter, tell them my words if they listen or not. It is strife .com when you preach the truth to people without any holding back on the Lord's truths and commands to be His people.
Or choose not to and when this life is over your bad your choice. (((Hell))
I do think the Government should give Believers more of a voice for freedom or speech purposes.
i don't think there should be limits on where and how we preach as long as there are no threats.
I do understand I've seen people get all nutty about the things of God. The reason is the Holy Spirit the ((LIght)) brings conviction to men's heart for God's judgments and your sins.
But as far as force or the Government forcing the Lord on people by Government is wrong. I believe believers should be able to preach as God wills them to, with no arguments, everyone else says what they feel and believe what's the difference??
There is a spiritual war inside every man and women like it or not. The only victory is in the power of the Holy Spirit. Gotta be like ol Ezekial hard headed closed minded and a mountain for God you have every right your fore fathers gave you, and let someone say other wise. God has given the American church all we need to reach the lost. Stop complaining take what's given seek the Lord for Ideas.
Listen or not He told Exekail tell them anyway. Back than they had no rights killed for proclaiming the truth. Ever had someone say I don't care about your faith yaddda yadda yadda, same ol thing different day. Had a lady from the UK on a site, say on a blog. Beat them at their own game. I thought hmmmmm prayed about it, Lord said fine with me, be passive and pushoverish they'll never listen to you.
And I thought so that's the reason for personalites wow lol. And I thought the whole time something was wrong with me as the nuts would say. Love cares, love values you and your stability in life, Love doesn't kiss your hinny. God is Love and He has never kissed mine.
So all in a nut shell, yes separation from church and state is a good thing, look at Iran, allah or die my Lord doesn't role like that. The Lord I serve roles like this I died for you, I love you more than you could ever know, but if you reject me that's your choice and even if it breaks my heart into, He gave you that choice. No one wants to be forced to be loved by someone.
Same thing with Him. Jesus is the Lord of all and respects choices don't do otherwise.

Corinthians 11:13 For such men are false apostles,((deceitful)) workmen, masquerading as apostles of Christ. 14 And no wonder, for satan himself masquerades as an angel of light.
2 Timothy 3:5 having a form or godliness but denying its power. Have nothing to do with them.
I've said a million times I've been called everything but what the Lord testifies to who He called me to be. I'm not into labels only label myself as He testifies to if needed. Again, false, real, anointed what matters to the Lord Boss Daddy?? Only thing that pleases the Lord is the anointed choice.
Love reading the ((personalties)) of men who taught the Gospel of Christ. Are we to judge a personality?? or an attitude?? or even what a man is doing or not>>?? Well, you can if you want it's a free country doesn't mean the Lord gives a flip what you may think lol.
Sometimes with some people its a lose lose thing un pleasable and nit piker.com. I'm a Spiritual man and the only thing that really ticks me off is deceit and non value for life and other's stability. God has really laid on my heart burdening down His people for no reason, ticks Him off. Hurting other people will never make your hurts go away ((understand)) that, makes it worst.
False dude can be the nicest man alive all suited up sharp dude type deal. But apart from the Lord's Spirit he is false. If I preached or taught Christ apart from the Spirit I'm false.
There is connection no one can get my teaching of God without the Teacher the Holy Spirit.
And without that applied brings alot of confusion and damage and bringing death to people instead of Life in the Power of the Spirit.
Don't be conned don't be fooled don't be tossed in the waves of opinions. Stand firm in the Spirit of Christ. Honestly false folks really tick me off one reason they are ((((hurting))) others with their opinions and such. Can't understand the things of God without God and can't teach without Him. And if you are a non abiding teacher, your the fox in the whole the whole false person thing. No matter who you are.
