My Word

My child, My word will not return to Me empty. It will accomplish what I desire. It will succeed in the matter for which I send it. Speak My truth and My word. Say to the mountain, MOVE! Declare My word over your situation and believe that I am working on your behalf. Believe Me and believe My word.

Isaiah 55:11

An Equitable Solution

Consider the fact that we’ve been born—not by our own choice—into a world of sin. As we discussed earlier, the only possible outcome of life in such a tainted world is enslavement to sin. Yet, while on the surface this certainly seems like a negative thing, human existence is actually an incredible gift of God. Why? Because it allows us the opportunity to experience a level of intimacy with Him that it could be achieved by no other means—a relationship whose purpose and ultimate outcome is a personal joining with God eternally. 

Still, the weakness of human nature overwhelms us in this environment of sin. And God, being intrinsically just, simply had to do something about it. His answer: God chose to take on a human nature, which ultimately led to crediting us with His own righteousness as He took our sins upon Himself through His suffering and death.(Hebrews 2:14, 17) This radical step is equitable in God’s eyes because it is the only solution that could provide the answer to our human condition.

Crediting us with His righteousness is the very foundation of God’s redemptive plan in bringing “many sons to glory.” Our redemption means that God has purchased us, much like one would buy a slave for the purpose of setting him free. And it all happens through faith.(Romans 3:25-26)

Be Thankful

My child, I want you to be thankful and joyful. No matter how hard things are on this earth, rejoice in the fact that you have Me living inside you. Have a grateful heart and seek justice and kindness. Let My love flow from you. You represent Me on this earth. Show people who I really am.

Micah 6:8

Equitable Decision

Rules can be changed in order to reach an equitable judgment for the parties involved. We’ve all heard it said, “They’ve reached an equitable solution to the problem.” This means that even though the judgment may not be considered entirely fair, it is satisfactory to both sides.

Now there’s no question that freely receiving forgiveness for our sins through God’s grace is equitable for us, but how could it be just and equitable for Him? Well, the most obvious answer to that question is “because He said so”—that is, God’s mercy eclipses what otherwise would be reasonable and expected. There’s no question that forgiveness of our sin is a gift of God’s mercy, freely held out to us through the promise of the gospel. But there’s something more to the justice of God than merely “because I said so.” There’s an answer to that–next time!

A Broad Place

My child, I am bringing you in to a broad place. I have rescued you, because I delight in you. Take courage and do not be afraid. I have prepared an eternal city, a heavenly one. Rest in My love for you and continue to believe that I am working all these things out for your good because you love Me and are called according to My purpose.

Psalm 18:19   Hebrews 11:16    Romans 8:28

Tomorrows

My child, you are in My hands. Your future is secure in Me. Your past has been covered by the blood of Christ and all your sins have been forgiven. I want you to live in the present. Embrace today and live to the full. Don’t waste your time and energy fretting about tomorrow or regretting the things of the past. Rejoice in and enjoy today. I will take care of your tomorrows. TRUST ME!

I Will Deliver

My child, I hear your cry and I will deliver you out of all your troubles. I am near to the brokenhearted and I save those who are crushed in spirit. Wait and see what I will do. Don’t lose hope. Just keep seeking Me in every part of your life. I will deliver, I will save. Keep believing. Psalm 34:17-18
