Dont think, drink!
Mark 2:6 But there were certain of the scribes sitting there, and reasoning in their hearts, 8, and immediately when Jesus perceived in His spirit that they so reasoned within themselves, he said to them, 'Why do you reason these things in your hearts?'
"Legalistic people are 'too smart for their own good.' They 'attend class without receiving credit.' In James where we see 'be ye doers of the word, not hearers only,' the Greek word for 'hearers only' means 'to attend class without receiving credit, to evaluate, assess, survey.'
This is someone who 'attends church, not hearing the word, but rather seeing out of a critcal spirit how the speaker, singers, members dress, how well the speaker speaks etc.' Father says "They attend class without receiving credit." These who are too smart for their own good, these 'thinkers' reason themselves out of entering into a life time of forgiveness, the shalom or peace it brings in body, mind, relationships and finances. Dont think, drink what the Spirit is saying!"

Financial giving in the New Covenant...
"To the shame of many grace believers I must say that they are not giving as much as when they were under the law. In some stats I did I found that more than 70% of all grace believers don’t give at all and have stopped all giving. The rest of the people have unstable giving. Most in not all churches that go to grace in finances struggle tremendously after going to the freedom message."
Bertie Britz
When we were under the law we "only" gave 10%...we didn't give more because we were not required to. If we ever did give over 10% it was very sporadic, why?....because as i said we were not required to give more than 10%...our thinking was law thinking, not faith or grace thinking...NOW...under grace, we are only required to give 0%...so we give 0%...and when we do give over 0% it is very sporadic...why...because our thinking remains law thinking, not faith or grace thinking...Hence Bertie's financial poll results in grace based churches...

Nothing but a bad memory !
What is a Christian? A Christian is one who’s heart once mastered and owned by desires contrary to the nature of God, has been extracted by the Divine and replaced with a heart and nature so fully filled and flooded with light and love that the former is eclipsed to absolutely nothing more than a bad memory.

Ooh the sticky gooiness of His presence !!!

Nothing but Laughter and Joy !
"There's a lot of Glory on the precious Gospel! Jesus opened forever the way into the milk and honey, we enter in through His torn flesh. From start to finish it has been and will always be a GIFT!
A life of perfect love and perfect Joy is the Christian reality. Martin Luther said , "The Gospel is nothing but Laughter and Joy". You are already deep into the milk and honey, believe it and it will manifest! Believe that Jesus' perfect sacrifice is well able to place you and keep you in the milky purity of His love and his sweet honey joy. This is Salvation! Nothing Less!"

Frustrated, frustrating, frustration...
Gal. 2:21 "I do not frustrate the grace of God, for if righteousness comes by the law, then Christ is dead in vain."
"Here we see the word 'grace of God' defined by 'Christ' death to secure our righteousness! Anytime I put my self under any system or standard to 'merit' or 'earn' my righteousness (right standing with God) I have just "Frustrated Gods Grace" which is "Jesus obeyed the law fully for me & then became by being made 2Cor.5: 21, everything I was on the cross and bearing my death under the law that I deserved by being (past tense) a sinner."
Grace is what God did through & by Christ Jesus that I dont deserve. Grace becomes vain when I try to receive by my works/obedience what I can only receive by grace through Jesus' obedience. Lastly, Gal.5:4 "Christ (Gods Grace) becomes of no effect to me, whenever I am justified by the law (which is NEVER), I have fallen from Grace."
Jesus never leaves me or forsakes me but the power, annointing and benefits/blessing of Jesus on my life becomes vain, ineffective whenever I put or trust in my obedience to any type of standard or law to gain access to the blessings of God. I am then left looking very righteous but in reality I have become self-righteous and then poisoned left to persecute/pursue all those who dont look or act as holy as me. Grace in vain, leaves me like Saul who persecuted the church, Gods embodiment of Grace. I have become 'clouds without water,' and 'wind without rain,' loud, boisterous but powerless & ineffective!"
