Cera Smith Ministries

Cera Smith Ministries CSM is about equipping people with the knowledge of the Kingdom of God that lives within them. It's the truth that we know that sets us free.

Jesus warned in Hos 4:6 that His people would perish for a lack of knowledge. I am honored to share this Gospel

SPIRITUAL REALITY

Experiencing the Abundant life starts with knowledge and understanding!

We've been Reconciled!!! Jesus paid our debt to sin and destroyed the veil of separation (sin) that stood between God and mankind (His creation)
Is 59:2, Col1:21, eph 2;12, Rom 3:23, Mt 27:51, Heb 10:20, Ex 26:33

Now, through a New birth experience, we can recieve a New Spirit (heart)! We become a New Creature in Christ, something that never existed before! We are one again in spirit. EZ 36:26, 1Jn 4:17, 1 Cor 6:17 , Jn 17:21,1Jm 4:15, Jn 15:5, Rom 8:16-17, Eph 2:8, 1 Cor 12:12,Rom 15:5,
1Jn 4:16, Rom 5:5

Through this transaction, God placed in us everything that pertains to life and Godliness. 2 Pt 1:3.

The transaction/change occurs in the spirit of man. We pass from death to life, no longer dead (spiritually separated from God) trapped in trespass and sin, but NOW being made alive in our spirit by a new spiritual birth ( regeneration).
JN 5:24, Eph 2:1, Jn 3:3, 1Pet 1:23, Eph 2 5, Rom 5:1-17

In the Beginning....
Gen 1:26 -28, 2:7, 2:16-17
God created man in His image and likeness and gave him dominion. Then death occured to all mankind because of Adam's disobedience. Rom 5:12
In Gen 2:16 -17 God warning Adam... "but of the tree of knowledge of good and evil you shall not eat, for in the day that you eat of it you shall surely die." He died a spiritual death that day. God's spirit and man's spirit were separated. Man was NOW disonnected from God spiritually and would operate-functional by physical- flesh or carnal means. His soul would now rule over him with carnal- fleshly thoughts, actions and attitudes. Rom 5:12 -19.

Of course sin brought all kinds of death, but
"Die" here means to separate from, not stop existing. Here, God's spirit separates from his creation.

Our focus is on a spiritual reconnection through God's work and then our acceptance of His offer of salvation.

Everything we need for life and Godliness flows from the Well of living water onside of our born again spirit!

2 Pet 1-4 Peter is saying His grace and His peace be multiplied to us in the knowledge of God and Jesus. His divine power hath given unto us exceeding great and precious promises, that through these you may be partakers of the divine nature, having escaped the corruption that is in the world through lust. His work of Reconciliation for His creation is complete.

For the believer, there is now a well of living water on the inside of their being. We have come alive in Him and have been restored, made new in our spirit. Our mind (soul) must now catch up with that spiritual reality.

It's a process of replacing old thoughts with scriptures.

In Rom 12:2
Paul is encouraging the believer to be renewed in knowledge of our new identity in Christ, denying the world system and carnal fleshly approaches to this world
It's the word-truth we know and understand about the finished work of God that makes or brings us freedom

God is seated on the throne. We are seated with him spiritually. Eph 2:6

His WORK of reconciliation is complete!

Be blessed #!

Go to the Well!

Don't let a lack of knowledge keep you from receiving all that has been restored to you through your new, born-again spirit!

You're a New Creation....

Notice "Shall be in him a well "
John 4:4 But whosoever drinketh of the water that I shall give him shall never thirst; but the water that I shall give him shall be in him a well of water springing up into everlasting life.

Old Testament saints were looking forward to that which was to come, New Testament saints, are looking at the finished work of Christ. We are able to be born again, reconciled, redeemed, restored, made righteous.

In Adam, our old spirit was dead (separated) from the life and power (the well) of God. But because we were so valuable to God, He made Jesus to be cursed and separated, bearing the full weight of sin and judgment for us so that we could be reconciled to our Creator.

When we believe on Jesus, 2 Cor 5:17 says old things pass away, behold all things become new! We've been reconciled to God! We've become a New creation. Eph 4:24 says we have put on the new man which has been created in righteousness and true holiness.

Eph 2:1 Reveals that God quickened us (we've been made alive in the spirit) 1 Jn 4:17 We are as Jesus is in the spirit, 2 Cor 5:16-21
2 Pt 1:3 His provision is in us. Eph 2: 3-6 and 4:24 our new spirit was created in righteousness and true holiness. etc.

According to 2 Peter 1:3, God's divine power has ALREADY given us everything that that we need for life and Godliness, through our knowledge of him who called us by His own glory and goodness. We already have His great and precious promises; they are in the new spirit (new creature) There is no lack in the new spirit.

How do you get the truth of your new man to manifest from your spirit into the natural realm? The apostle Paul taught that we make our faith effective (work) by acknowledging what we already have in Christ! 1JN 4:17 As He is, so are we in this world.

Philemon 6:1
That the communication of our faith is made affective by the acknowledging of every good and perfect thing within you in Christ Jesus.

Thank you, God, for loving your creation so much that you would become flesh, become our sin and die in our place!

I encourage you today to remain steadfast in studying the scriptures with the understanding that salvation is more than a heaven - hell issue, it's about relationship, restoration, reconciliation between two parties (the creator & the created)
Praise God we are redeemable because of His great sacrifice!

Blessings and love,
Cera
