Righteousness and cleanliness

Hello.... If you all are interested in knowing more about Step 4 from our biblically based 12 step program then join me this Sunday afternoon as we plan to speak more about Righteousness and Cleanliness as in accordance with the teachings of the Bible. Abraham believed and that was accredited to him as being righteousness, and with his faith he did something because he believed God would provide a lamb for the sacrifice he offered Isaac as a brunt offering. The Lord responded to His faithfulness with a ram to be sacrificed in the place of his beloved son. Abraham left his home back in the land of UR where his father and mother were raised in order to find a better promise which was the fulfillment of the Lord's word. Leave this place said the Lord and I will you take you to a land flowing with milk and honey a Holy Land where your descendance will become as numerous as the stars in nighttime sky. Because Abraham believed he packed up everything and left his home to follow the Lord. Faith motivates us to move forward in life with a mind filled with righteous thoughts. Our Father's plan is not to harm us but to better our lives through the instructions He offers us. Cleanliness comes from being washed in the Blood of the Lamb. The blood of the Lamb is God's promises being manifested in our reality. His word becoming flesh. For one to become washed in the word, one needs to be baptized or fully emersed in Jesus Christ. You must be baptized in the name of Jesus Christ in order to receive the promised Holy Spirit. What comes with the Promise? A renewal of mind, body, and soul. God Our Father taking up residence within your heart which changes who you are, transforming you into a new creation which is a person who is willing to follow after Our Heavenly Fathers righteous commands. No longer allowing ourselves to be identified as a victim, damaged, unworthy, depressed, oppressed, no longer allowing ourselves to be identified as an alcoholic, drug addict or any other type of person other than THE CHILD OF GOD! Faith will manifest works. Works do not manifest faith because no one can be saved by their works. Why not? Because its the work of God alive in you that's manifesting the faith needed to become what God wants you to be. SO is not a work of your own instead it is the work of God shinning forth from your heart, for out of the abundance of what is in your heart the truth will flow out of your mouth. I believe! Because you believe you do the things God wants you to do. Love one another, NOT WITH WORD but with heart and deed! Words are meaningless without the actions that define those words. There was a man with two sons and the father of those sons said to both sons come and work in my vineyard the eldest of the two sons said "YES I WILL COME WORK IN THE VINEYARD" when the time came to go to work the son did not go. The youngest of the two sons said "NO I WILL NOT GO WORK IN YOUR VINEYARD!" but later when it was time to got work he went and worked in the vineyard. See faith without works is dead. Living Faith produces the work. Dead faith produces nothing but empty words. Don't worry Abraham said to Isaac "God will provide a lamb for the sacrifice," how do we know Abraham believed that? He took Isaac to the alter and was willing to offer him as a burnt offering. See his living faith produced the work and God rewarded Abraham with the Lamb!
