Philippians 3:9

 

And be found in him, not having mine own righteousness, which is of the law, but that which is through the faith of Christ, the righteousness which is of God by faith:

Greetings Saints,
I was studying Matthew 5:20 and was overwhelmed with such holy ghost rhema JOY when coming across Philippians 3:9!  Let's break this awesome rhema word down and light up our spirit with refreshing JOY!

A) not having mine own (conscience) righteousness, which is of the (tithe) law,
B) but that which is through the faith of Christ, the righteousness which is of God by faith:

Precious saints,
If you have the tithe, wonderful. If not, NO WORRIES!  Let's then focus on the offering, which in my opinion and experience surpasses the tithe (Matthew 5:20, Romans 10:1-3).  For quite some time I've literally used what cash in hand I have to release to any individual in need.  I have enough Business Bible Sense to live by faith and NOT by my own righteousness, which is of the law.

What makes me feel better is seeing the reaction of many recipients who are shocked, taken by surprise, overwhelmed with overflowing joy at what just happened.  It's like the Resurrection of Jesus, waking up!  Like 1 Corinthians 15:34 Awake to righteousness, and sin not; for some have not the knowledge of God: I speak this to your shame.

God resides within every individual (Luke 17:21, Ephesians 3:6, Colossians 1:27). So, Awake to righteousness!

In Closing,
I cannot explain Malachi 3:10-12, maybe because it's obsolete (Hebrews 8:13).  But from experience, I can share the overwhelming ministering angels (Hebrews 13:2) fighting on my behalf as I'm moved with compassion of the Good Samaritan (Luke 10) to touch the lost with the resurrection love of Jesus.

Hebrews 13:2
Don’t neglect to show hospitality to strangers, for by doing this some have welcomed angels as guests without knowing it.
