Luke 1:45 Greek Translation: “And blessed possessing the character of God is she that believeth: for there shall be a performance or an exceedingly extra ordinary event to those things which were told of her from the Lord.” Comment: When Mary told Elizabeth the good news that she was going to bare the Son of God Elizabeth who was pregnant with John the Baptist was so elated her baby jumped in her womb! When she believed the report of her cousin Mary she was filled with the Holy Spirit! There is only one way you will ever be filled with the Holy Spirit! You have to believe and accept what God says you need to be saved and filled with the Holy Spirit! God is love! When you accept his Son Jesus and the sacrifice he made for your sin on the Cross then the Holy Spirit indwelling will follow! Mary believed God even though Jesus had not arrived on earth yet! If you love God and the only way you can is to understand how much he loves you then you will love people! You will love the Jews, Israel, and even your enemies! You will pray for your enemies and those that despitefully use you! If the Holy Spirit is not in your life then you will hate people! Hate yourself, Jews, Israel, Christians because the evil spirit Satan will take residency in you! You will hate and despise the Holy Scriptures! You will oppose Bible reading and distribution! You will not support the local church with your tithes and time! You will oppose missionary work into the world! Either God or Satan will do a performance in you either for blessing or destruction! Two Kingdoms with two different outcomes! The sin of all sins is not to believe God at his word! It is to mock God! Mock his followers! Salvation was brought into the earth because Mary believed God! Some believe a lie! That is what happened in the Garden of Eden! Your eternity is based on whether you believe what God has said you need to do for Salvation! Based on his word! What performance you do into the earth will depend on who is living in you! Christ or Satan? Your choice will contain the eternity you have chosen! James and Hamsa Sasse. GodWhoisGod.com

Religion Versus Grace! Mark 1:1
Jesus did not come to correct behavior! Jesus came to give us a new identity! We are all adopted into a family where we learn a new and better way to live! Religion tries to change us from the outside in! Religious Zealots only reward performance! God said this is my beloved Son who I am well pleased! Remember Jesus had not done any miracles yet! Do you love your son or daughter because they are a gift to you from God or will you only love them based on an expected performance? The Holy Spirit will empower you to live a better way! Real change is an inside job! You must be born again! Jesus said we must repent and believe! This if done will change everything! Pastor Brady Boyd, New Life Church, Colorado Springs, Colorado.
