THANK YOU FATHER
You may have heard a lot lately about the grace of God and how your salvation is sealed and complete In Christ.
You may also have heard that you can lose your salvation.
You may have heard about folks who walk away from God.
Because God nor I don't want you to be frustrated and walk away from Him, I pray that you hear and understand what God has really said, learning of Jesus and what He has accomplished just for you.
I really believe that none who have ever truly tasted the goodness of God would ever walk away from Him, I do know that when folks are drawn to religion through fear and condemnation they are prone to walk away from that routine, but God, The true God of heaven is a glory that none once they have known would turn from.
It is the most selfish and evil thing on earth to manipulate men with condemnation, God Himself doesn't do that.
You may be struggling and asking, "What is true?"
Babies it's all written down for our learning.
It may be because you have not yet learned what is written that you struggle.
But that can change today.
Amen.
We can know what Christ has provided when we profess Him as our LORD.
We have to know to endure.
The Apostle Peter teaches believers that because we are free In Christ we no longer have to live our lives in the flesh, fulfilling of the lust of our emotions.
The flesh was all we had to rely on before Jesus Christ.
But Christ has made us free to live after His Spirit and do the will of The Living God.
Peter taught us to be sure not to allow our selves to hate, to steal, to be a troublesome meddler, to practice and speak evil, or be filled with malice, envy, and hypocrisy.
Abstaining from these things isn't what saves us because Christ did that, these are the things that naturally bring us joy because they give glory to God.
A disciple doesn't have to fly off the handle.
We don't have to sin because the very nature of God in us is opposed to it.
We may find our selves in this position because we have an enemy and a natural body but we don't have to sin, that power has long been broken.
Those unrighteous reactions are us (not trusting) that The Father is "with us and for us" as Joel Osteen says :)
That's all sin does night and day is try and slither up to you and convince you that God is not with you and for you.
That's what the tempter did with Eve.
Genesis 3:1-5
But there is no new temptation that can overtake you which Christ himself has not suffered the infirmity of and God who is Faithful, as proven by His raising Christ from the grave will not allow you to be tempted above what you are able to bear and He will provide an exit for you as He has did for our LORD and as His has done for us In our LORD.
I want you to know that because God is with us and for us, whatever void you may have and have come to believe sin and it's reactions will fill that void, they won't.
You want to retaliate because it just satisfies the flesh, let God satisfy you and handle it.
Your way won't satisfy it just bring regret, which is condemnation.
It's a vicious cycle and people who believe that they are successful are even stuck on this wheel.
The hope that we have in Christ is what fulfills.
We don't have to participate in things that dishonor our body, our family, our witness and our peace, things that make us feel ashamed, hopeless and helpless.
We don't have to gossip, lie or do things that we have to hide.
Those are things that war against our soul and they steal our joy and our peace.
They cannot steal our salvation.
Don't get all guilty feeling if these are things that you just did, you are not the only one, most things that we do are out of not knowing, when a man knows better, wisdom will do better.
Keep these words of encouragement at the front of your thinking and whenever you feel the urge to do what you know is not pleasing to God, say:
"I don't have to wallow in guilt because the blood of Jesus cries out for me, I am forgiven and in Christ I can do better."
"I don't have to do this, I can trust God."
"I don't have to react to this like that, God is with me."
"I don't have to participate in this, I am free from that type of behaviour through Jesus."
That's faith and that will always please The Father.
Therefore being justified by faith we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ.
Sin has been dealt with for us at Calvary but condemnation keeps trying to rear it's ugly head, plant your heel firmly on condemnation and know that God is with you and He is for you, so you no longer have to live like He isn't.
You know I love y'all.
Keep The Master ste apart in your heart direct everything to Him.
John 3:16-19
Romans chapter 8
Roll it over and over and over and over and over again in your thinking.
Know who you are and what you have :)
