My child, never underestimate My power and My authority. All things are possible and there is nothing I can’t handle. Believe Me and obey Me. Continue to trust Me in all circumstances. You will see My plan unfold as you continue to walk in My path.
I Am All You Need
Leave a reply
My child, I am near to you. Be anxious for nothing. Just pray and know that I am in control. My peace will flood your heart as you rejoice and give thanks to Me. When things are swirling around you here on earth, look up. I am in your midst. I am the calm in the storm. I am all you need.
Philippians 4:4-7
What Did Happen?
The reality of our state of affairs as believers poses a difficult yet valid question: “If I have truly died to sin, why do I still feel so alive to it?” This really is mysterious. But don’t think you’re the only one who feels this way; it’s not an uncommon problem by any stretch of the imagination.
Ask yourself a different question: “just what did happen to me when I became that new creature in Christ? What’s this life all about?” The answer to this question lies in the fact that it’s not about what we do or don’t do. Rather, it’s about who Jesus Christ is and what He has done.
No, this doesn’t relieve us of all personal responsibility. Of course not: “How shall we who died to sin still live in it?” (Romans 6:1-2) But it does mean that the foundation for our relationship with God has been laid by Him alone, not by anything we can do in and of ourselves. “Oh, I believe that,” you might say—but do you really? Do you really believe that your union with God isn’t actually somehow rooted in trying to be good?
Get Messy
My child, I am breathing life into My church. I am saying to My bride, “LIVE”! Live in the power of My Holy Spirit. Go forth in joy, confidence and love. Love the unlovely. Bring in the poor and lost. Church is messy, but alive with wonder working power. Get messy. Get involved. Get life. What used to be dead is now alive in Me. Celebrate life!
Unity ~ Love ~ Joy
My child, My heart is unity, love and joy among the believers. When you are united in Me, then who can stand against? When you love with My love, walls come tumbling down. When you live with joy, you attract the lost. Unity, love and joy. Life in these and I will bring great revival here.
Abound in Love
My child, I the Lord cause you to increase and abound in love for on another and for all people. I am faithful and I will bring it to pass. Some may grow cold in their love, but not you. You are to press in to Me and allow My love to abound. Be My vessel of love and grace today.
1 Thessalonians 3:12 & 24
Victory
My child, you have victory in Me. Claim that victory and walk in My authority. Life with expectancy, hope and faith. Do not let doubt and unbelief rule your thoughts. I am God. Believe Me.
Truth
This is the truth, you who believe in Me, the works that I do, you will do also, and greater work than these will you do because I go tot the Father. I gave you the Holy Spirit and all things are possible for those who believe.
John 14: 12-16 Mark 9:23
Complete Wholeness
My child, this is eternal life, that you know Me, the only true God, and Jesus Christ whom I have sent. I desire you to be one with Me, perfected in unity. Come into the Holy of holies and commune with Me today. Experience complete wholeness in Me.
John 17: 3 & 23
Past, Present, Future
The issue of forgiveness of sin—past, present and future—has been resolved in God’s mind. It’s a done deal! Freedom from sin was never meant merely to be applied to our initial salvation experience, but as an enduring guarantee of intimate relationship with God.
But this doesn’t mean that the inevitable struggle between the appetites of self and the requirements of God’s law are not going to be an ongoing battle for us. To be sure, this conflict is precisely why being freed from slavery to sin is so crucially important as we go about living our new life in God. Yet given our human condition in this world of sin, it’s not too surprising to find this truth so routinely misunderstood.
It’s really sad that so many have been duped by the enemy into believing that we must somehow earn our own way now that we’ve been saved. Think back to the desperately sinful circumstances you were in when He reached down and pulled you out of that pit. Having been so amazingly forgiven and cleansed from that muck, how could we think that He would now abandon us just because we continue to struggle with sin in various areas of our life?(Romans 5:8-10)
