Needing to Work for God’s Grace?

A constant theme in Paul’s writings is freedom from law. But this truth isn’t easy to accept because we instinctively feel the need to work for God’s grace. So time and again we see Christians falling back into works in an attempt to ensure their standing with God. But doesn’t it eem a bit silly that, once being saved, we would willingly abandon our life of liberty?

Think back to what your life was like when Jesus rescued you from your sin. In and of ourselves, could any of us have achieved righteousness in God’s eyes? Of course not! Each and every one of us had to rely totally on Jesus to clean up the mess we’d made of our lives. How, then, could we think that now we might somehow be capable of building relationship with God by our own efforts? Needless to say, it’s impossible in our own strength.

God spoke through a stink bug

God spoke to me through a stink bug this morning…I saw a stink but down in the garage a couple of days ago, but didn’t do anything about it. Well this morning I saw him again on his back with his legs wiggling struggling to turn over. I took a pencil and helped him back on this feet. Immediately his butt went up in the air! Then the oddest thing happened. He fell back over onto his back! I felt God saying to me that even though He tries to help people in their time of need, their response is ‘defensive’ and then they go back to their prior situation even though it’s killing them. Weather it’s out of being in their comfort zone, not wanting to be told what to do, or a defense mechanism, we’re not too far off from being a stink bug. See where God is trying to help you and embrace it, don’t fight it! Your life will smell a lot better when you are obedient to Him!

 

Psalm 103 Wraps Up in Glory

The Lord has established His throne in the heavens, and His sovereignty rules over all. Bless the Lord you His angels, mighty in strength, you who perform His word, obeying the voice of His word. Bless the Lord all you His hosts, you who serve Him, doing His will. Bless the Lord all you works of His, in all places of His dominion, bless the Lord O my soul. (Ps.103: 19-22)

The prime theme of the entire Bible is not only God’s glory–that has eternally been established throughout all creation–but that we are to be about glorifying Him with every aspect of our lives. Live in a manner worthy of Him, the Apostle Paul says. Bless Him. Pursue Lord Jesus Christ, you His chosen ones!  

Did I Not Tell You?

My child, did I not tell you that I can do the impossible? Did I not tell you that I am a miracle working God? Your job is to believe Me, trust My timing and have faith. I have heard the cry of your heart and I will establish My plan. Hold on to Me. I’ve got this.

Keep Believing

My child, keep believing. Look to Me in your darkest hour and in your deepest fear. I fill you with faith and wash over you with peace. I replace fear with the joy of knowing whatever you face, I am with you. The plan I have for you is good. Keep believing and keep walking in faith. Today is the day I have made, rejoice and be glad in it. Psalm 118:24

House Of Prayer?

My child, is My house a house of prayer? Or is it an empty tomb where the dead are? Is My church being instructed to repent, confess and turn from their wicked ways? Will I find faith in the church? Arise Church! Make My Name known. Repent – fast – pray! I am coming quickly.
“He who overcomes, I will make him a pillar in the temple of My God, and he will not go out from it anymore; and I will write on him the name of My God, and the name of the city of My God, the New Jerusalem, which comes out of heaven from My God, and My New name. He who has an ear, let him hear what the Spirit says to the churches.”
Revelation 3:11-13

Be Ready

My child, in the world you have tribulation, but take courage, I have overcome the world. Be My light in this dark world. Let Me shine brightly through you. I am calling a people to Myself. I am coming back for a pure and spotless bride. Be ready for My return and take as many as are willing. My banquet table awaits all who are called by My Name.

John 16:33  Matthew 22:9
