The Conspiracy Part I

FROM THE BOOK, JOSEPH, BY JIMMY SWAGGART

“And a certain man found him (found Joseph), and, behold, he was wandering in the field: and the man asked him, saying, What do you seek? And he said, I seek my brethren: tell me, I pray you, where they feed their flocks. And the man said, They are departed from here; for I heard them say, Let us go to Dothan. And Joseph went after his brethren, and found them in Dothan. And when they saw him afar off, even before he came near unto them, they conspired against him to kill him.”

—GENESIS 37:15-18

iniquities. For as the heaven is high above the earth, so great is his mercy toward them who fear him” (Ps. 103:10-11). The genesis of salvation is declared to be in two of God’s attributes, the first being mercy, or compassion. God has a tender yearning toward men who are brought to misery by their own sins. His mercy is im- measurable and endures forever: • “It is of the Lord’s mercies that we are not consumed, because his compassions fail Q&A not. “They are new every morning: great is thy faithfulness” (Lam. 3:22-23). with Sister Swaggart • “Gracious is the Lord, and righteous; yea, our God is merciful.” (Ps. 116:5) • “O give thanks unto the God of heav- en: for his mercy endureth for ever” (Ps. 136:26). runneth, but of God that sheweth mercy.” • “But God, who is rich in mercy, for his Q.

Men do not need justice, they need mer- cy. The writer of Hebrews tells us, “Let us therefore come boldly unto the throne of grace, that we may obtain mercy, and find grace to help in time of need” (Heb. 4:16). This means that God strongly desires to show mercy and grace to all who come to Him. As someone has said, “Mercy is God’s disposition toward sinful men, but love is His motive in all that He does for them.” The mercy of God is really beyond our comprehension because it is new every morning, always before us, and also be- “Jesus, thou hind us, following the believer all the days Son of of his life (Ps. 23:6).

It uncovers the root causes of these throughout Elisha’s ministry: dividing the waters of Jordan, forces and what we can do to curb their malevolent influence. healing the poisoned waters of Jericho, and raising the dead This is a book that every citizen of the United States should read, son of the Shunammite woman. Believers are reminded that but perhaps more importantly, one that every Christian must we serve a miracle-working God and that we should live—as read. It is a potent book that pulls no punches—one that is as Elisha did—in a state of expectation that cries out, “Where is uncompromising in its reach as the author himself. This book the Lord God of Elijah?” (400 pages, hardcover) sounds a clarion call to awaken believers to the realization that the only answer for America is Jesus Christ and Him crucified.

The Fruit of Sin and Righteousness

“But now being made free from sin, and become servants to God, ye have your fruit unto holiness, and the end everlasting life.” —ROMANS 6:22

Holiness PART Holiness is simply living a holy life; it is the total III opposite of iniquity. This direction Paul gives is the same principle as before in previous verses, but now “Instead of going downward, it’s going in the opposite direction. Instead of iniquity lead- which is where sin leads, you ing to iniquity and dragging someone down, now, due to the are now heading ever upward. Upward because of Christ. cross of Christ, that person is going upward. I want you to Upward because of the cross. understand that. Instead of going downward, which is where Upward because of faith.” sin leads, you are now heading ever upward. Upward because of Christ. Upward because of the cross. Upward because of faith. As a result of this change, the power of the indwell- ing sin nature has been broken, and we no longer yield our members toward unrighteousness, but now we can yield them to righteousness unto holiness, and the only requirement is that we follow Christ.

Being A Servant Of God Another aspect of living for the Lord is that the individual be- comes a servant of God. I know that most would look at this term in a negative way, but when it comes to being a Chris- tian, it becomes such a privilege to be known as a servant of God. The word servant speaks of being a slave, but not in a negative way. If you look in the Old Testament, when a slave was given his freedom but declined it to stay

20 APRIL 2021 THE EVANGELIST Call us at 225.768.3072 | Email: [email protected] | www.gabrielswaggart.org New music CD from Jimmy Swaggart where he was, he did so for a specific reason. He did it because he loved his master who granted him protection, safety, and security. He was treated so well that he felt he would have more freedom serving his master than living outside of that particular home. To mark his decision to stay, such a servant would take an aul and pierce his ear, indicating his intention to remain there forever. How much better do we have it now? Paul said we have a better covenant based on better promises. We have protection, safety, and security in Christ. We will have more freedom living for Christ than not, and we do it because of His love for us and our love for Him. I would much rather be known as a servant of God than a servant of the Devil. As they say, our worst day serving the Lord is ten thousand times better than a lifetime with the Devil.

Being Made Free From Sin This is something that we need to understand, and I speak of living a victorious life in Christ. Every believer has the 02-216 potential to live this more abundant life, but so many fail to FEATRING avail themselves of experiencing this more abundant life, and His Name Is As Ointment / Sometimes It Takes A Mountain the reason is a lack of knowledge of the cross. Whosoever Meaneth Me / A Beautiful Life There is only one cure for the sinner and the saint—Christ and Him crucified. What He did for us was for the entirety Without Him / Every Promise In The Book Is Mine of the world, for with His death on Calvary’s cross, the sin Never Failed Me Yet / I Love To Tell The Story debt was removed. But thank the Lord that this great blessing did not stop there, for not only did it remove the sin debt for In The Shadow Of The Cross / Lord, I’m Coming Home those would simply believe, but it also broke the grip of sin CATALOG PRICE: $18 in the life of the believer. This means that if we look to the cross daily—place our faith in Christ and Him crucified—we can be continually made free from the sin nature. In Romans 6:14 Paul said, “sin shall not have dominion over you,” which plus means exactly what it says: you can be free now, and you can Shipping be made free, daily, from the grip of sin that has plagued your life. However, we can experience this only if we take advantage of God’s prescribed order of victory—the cross.

Everlasting Life Living for the Lord will lead to everlasting life. Paul conclud- ed Romans 6 by saying, “For the wages of sin is death; but the gift of God is eternal life, through Jesus Christ our Lord.” The answer for the sin problem in the world and in the church is the same—Jesus Christ and Him crucified. We must begin this salvation life at the cross, and we must never leave the cross because it brings life and life ever more abundant.
