Dear Saints and Visitors,
I would like to share with you these Holy Kisses of Reflections for Edification:
Friday night reflections:
Friday night I reflected on: Sinners are in need of salvation, yes, and God beckons all sinners to receive His offer (free gift) of salvation. But sin does not qualify the soul for grace. Jesus Christ qualifies the soul for grace for He shed His blood to set the terms of the covenant in Himself and establish Himself as a contact point for forgiveness of sin.
On Friday I reflected on: Salvation is God's divine design for Christ centered spiritual transformation of the soul, God's pattern, purpose, and plan, which He set in Jesus Christ. Anything less than the divine design of God, Jesus Christ, is less than God, is contrary of God, and therefore sin.
As long as we touch God by His own virtues (faith, truth, charity...), God will continue to reciprocate His grace to the soul, removing the fruits of iniquity, forgiving sin, retaining the bond of peace, purging the conscience, sanctifying and regenerating the soul, renewing the mind, so that one day, when our salvation is revealed, we will stand before God in perfect reflection of the maturity of the fullness of the glory of Christ.
The blood of Jesus Christ, which purchased and sanctified the covenant and tools for our salvation is what qualifies us for this grace unto Eternal Life.God issues grace to draw the sinner into covenant with Himself. Covenant is the place where salvation takes place.
We are equal for that which qualifies us for God's grace. Meaning, if we believe sin qualifies us for God's grace then our experience will continue to be equal to that power od sin. If Jesus Christ qualifies us for the grace of God then our experience will be equal to His power and we experience His fullness...the fruits of the Spirit: love, joy, peace, faith, temperance, long suffering, goodness, meekness, gentleness.
Saturday night reflections:
Eternal life cannot be found in the carnal things, but found only in Jesus Christ.
When we spend time with God we must be focused on Christ and not be listening to the radio or ipod at the same time otherwise those things would distract us.
Hebrews 13 v. 9, "Be not carried about with divers and strange doctrines. For it is a good thing that the heart be established with grace; not with meats, which have not profited them that have been occupied therein."
Sunday night reflections
In my indian culture, indians do not believe there is a devil or a hell, they believe when someone dies their soul goes on the journey to the happy hunting grounds, a place where only indians go where there is no white people. I do not believe that. This is a lie from the prince of darkness so that they believe they can do & believe whatever they want about God and worship the sun and not the SON Jesus Christ.
I was born into this world an indian but God does not see me as an indian, because I am born again by His Spirit, I am His child of obedience by faith as I work out my salvation every day with the tools of His Second Covenant and this is how God knows me and loves me and this is how I know and love God.
I choose Christ and would rather walk in the light and be a daughter of God than sit in darkness and be a child of disbedience.
Sunday night I learned that the soul of Adam and Eve followed the design of the knowledge it accepted. God calls Satan's corrupted ambiguous knowledge "evil", and Jesus identified it as "darkness" when He said, "I am come a light into the world, that whosoever believeth on Me should not abide in darkness." (Jn12:46) Knowledge removed from God removes the soul from God, darkening the perception of God's purpose, Thus is the carnal mind.
"Choose you this day whom you will serve; whether the gods of the Amorites, in whose land you dwell:but as for me and my hous-+e, we will serve the
Sunday night I learned that two spirits wait upon us (man) to inspire hope. The angel of righteousness stands on the right hand inspiring faith by the knowledge of Christ, while the angel of iniquity stands on the left inspiring man's aspirations to work with other knowledge that hypnotizes and flatters the soul.
My Sunday night reflection with my mom: Knowledge itself is not "evil"; every day people use knowledge to function in this world, but it is the value placed upon that knowledge is what can turn the heart away from God.
I offer these sacrifices for the Church and the lost:
Jesus' Mode of operation is to brings believers in Covenant so we can love Him the Way He wants us to not the way we want to love Him.
Satan is a deceiver and there is no truth in Him for he twists the truth of God and makes it a lie that appeals to the foolish and ignorant, but there is truth in Christ for He cannot lie, He keeps His promise to those who believe in Him and are joined to Him through covenant tools and contact.
The knowledge of the world is Satan's and it hypnotizes the soul into bewilderment, Christ came to snap us out of it and put order to our soul with His knowledge.
God's truth is the knowledge of Christ and His grace is the water we use in our priesthood of faith to wash all iniquity from our soul.
The righteous refuse to place their confidence of faith in the powers that confirm the flesh.
Love In Christ XXOOXX,

Hi Sis, Thank you for
Hi Sis,
Thank you for sharing these reflections with us, they were very edifying and drew much faith from my heart.
Especially when you shared:
“As long as we touch God by His own virtues (faith, truth, charity...), God will continue to reciprocate His grace to the soul, removing the fruits of iniquity, forgiving sin, retaining the bond of peace, purging the conscience, sanctifying and regenerating the soul, renewing the mind, so that one day, when our salvation is revealed, we will stand before God in perfect reflection of the maturity of the fullness of the glory of Christ.â€
What a blessing it is to know that our faith is always progressive when we touch God with His virtues and that we can be in expectation of these promises of new live, peace and fullness being achieved through faith in Christ. These are the things that give substance to our hope because we know that our labour is not in vain but brings forth the perfect substance of Christ in us wherewith the Lord is glorified.
May you continue to abound in His grace and keep sharing these wonderful reflections with us.
“We are reconciled to God through the bond of Charity and Peaceâ€
“The Lord blesses the soul by the touch of His virtue.â€
In Christ

Thank you sis for sharing
Thank you sis for sharing such edifying reflections. I was very edified and received much grace as I experienced the illumination and enlightment that are present when grace and truth are joined together. Indeed my sis as we continue tethered to God's government, truth, and Spirit there is only increase upon increase for He rewards those of faith.
I offer this sacrifice for your edification, G/G, G/C, strength, and peace in Lord:
"It is the grace of God that carries the inspiration of His heavenly kingdom and it is the truth of God that influences the mind and souls of those that humbly submit to His pattern, purpose, and plan"
In Christ,
