Testimony of Salvation/Deliverance...

This is the glory of the real Jesus......Thanks for sharing!

Grace Life

I've shared this before upon anniversaries, and I'm blessed to be able to share it again: A little over 10 years ago this month I was a needle junky, crackhead ...and alcoholic who had recently been arrested on multiple accounts of selling drugs and other drug related crimes. But, on Nov. 11th 2004, while in rehab for the third time, Jesus stepped into my rehab bedroom and forgave me, saved me and literally made me a new person on the inside. And by His love and grace, I've never used drugs or alcohol of any kind since. I don't cope with sobriety, I'm not a "dry drunk", I'm not "once an addict/alcoholic always an addict/alcoholic," but rather I'm absolutely free from addiction because of Him. I could spend forever telling of how horrible my life before I walked with Jesus was, how great it's been since I've walked with Him and how grateful I am for everyone who ever prayed for me, loved me, helped me, ect. along the way, BUT suffice it to say, I'm eternally thankful that He set me from addiction and spiritual death, loved me into His family and made me completely new in Him!

Good Advice...

 Are you burned out by religion, exhausted from trying to please the Lord by doing all the things we think are the right things to do? The answer is as simple as - God not only loves you, He really does like you. Give yourself a break, just relax and let God love on you. May be the best therapy you've ever had! 

Complete In Him...

GAME CHANGER.....And ye are complete in Him - Complete means to make full, fill to the top: so that nothing shall be wanting, to full measure, fill to the brim.....And ye are COMPLETE in him (Jesus), which is the head of all principality and power. Colossians 2:10 (KJV)

An amazing thing happens to us when we quit trying to do all the religious things we are told to do in order to be more complete. Just start believing the word of God, JESUS IS MORE THAN ENOUGH and ALL THAT'S NECESSARY for us to be filled to the Brim. Through Gods prospective we are 100% complete in Christ. This is the best news we could ever hear!

Following God 101 #4....

For as many as are led by the Spirit of God, they are the sons of God - Romans 8:14

This morning I noticed both - Desire & Joy in my inner man as I was conscious of God's leading in a particular direction.

Psalms 37:4 teaches us that God places his desire in those who allow him to pamper them. "I know I'm a man and the thought of being pampered didn't sit well with me either." However, God wants us to be lavished with his goodness. As we are His Grace gives birth to Desire & Joy in the direction that God is leading.

Fulness of Life...

Live Life to the fullest out of the abundance of Heaven's Treasure!
For we have THIS TREASURE in earthen vessels - II Corinthians 4:7

Rein in life by the free GIFT OF RIGHTEOUSNESS and the ABUNDANCE OF GOD"S GRACE - Romans 5:17

As vessels of divine influence we carry heaven's atmosphere with us every where we go! We are invading the darkness with light & conquering death with life. We are vessels of reconciliation bringing the human race back to God through the power of God's redeeming grace!

.....( IT ).....

This 4th of July I will celebrating with my family & friends as usual! Not only will I be celebrating my freedom because of the great nation in which I live - But I will also be celebrating my liberation from sin because of Jesus. From God's prospective "it's as if (IT) sin never happened." God so honor's and esteems the sacrifice of His Son that it removes any remembrance from his mind concerning sin! Jesus on the cross drew all judgment unto himself. He not only took away our sin, but He also became our sin! The ultimate price was paid for our freedom form sin. Don't allow the enemy to still your peace and joy over a few bad mistakes or many multiple on purpose mean as a rattle-snake just wanted to do it sin. JESUS PAID IT ALL - IT'S AS IF IT NEVER HAPPENED! This 4th of July enjoy the gift of innocence by receiving the gift of Life!

The Fulfillment - Jesus!

Matthew 6:9--15 "The Lord's Prayer."

The glory of the Lord's prayer is this. It's an old covenant prayer (pre-cross, burial, resurrection) of Jesus - for the purpose of bringing God's perfect will into the earth through Jesus. Jesus is the perfect will of God; and all who are in Christ Jesus  are in God's perfect will!

 VS-10 Thy Kingdom come thy will be done in earth as it is in heaven.

Jesus is the only man (born of woman) who was ever in perfect obedience to the will of God! The good-news for us is - God has credited his obedience to our account! It's called the Free Gift of Righteousness/Justification.

Jesus is the answer & fulfillment of what we have labeled as, "The Lord's Prayer."

Ye are COMPLETE in HIM, which is the head of all principality and power - Colossians 2:10.

No More Offering...

Many Christians with good intent are seeking various methods for personal change to better themselves that they might have a closer encounter with the living God. Often we try more prayer, more bible study, more church attendance, more fasting, more giving, more not sinning, more confession, more + more = more + more = more things to do. For the believer there is a seemingly never ending cycle of , "More of the next best thing's that will supposedly get you closer to God."

We read books about it, write books about it, attend seminars for it, give away things desiring it, and sacrifice ourselves foolishly in the hope of obtaining it, and all the time it's been right under our nose. You ask, what is it?

Here it is.....

New Covenant Liberty...

The Levitical Law kept people in a perpetual state of misery by reminding them of their sins. New Covenant Liberty, "which is by the blood of Jesus," keeps us in a perpetual state of forgiveness where there's no more remembering of sin!

God Gives...

Many in the church have been misled to believe that God demands great sacrifice from them in order for them to be able to receive a blessing from Him. This could not be farther from the truth. The scriptures conclude that (GOD LOVES TO GIVE). That's right GIVE, and freely Give at that! Here's just a few scriptures of conformation.....

God spared not his own Son, but delivered him up for us all, how shall he not with him also FREELY GIVE US ALL THINGS - Romans 8:32

God's divine power HATH GIVEN UNTO US ALL THINGS that pertain to life and Godliness - II Peter 1:3

My Father GIVETH THE TRUE BREAD of heaven - John 6:32

For the bread of God is he which cometh down from heaven, and GIVETH LIFE TO THE WORLD - John 6:33

Every good and perfect GIFT COMES DOWN FROM GOD - James 1:17

If any of you lack wisdom, let him ask of God, that GIVETH TO ALL MEN LIBERALLY, and upbraideth not; and it SHALL BE GIVEN HIM - James 1:5

For God so love the world THAT HE GAVE HIS ONLY BEGOTTON SO, that whosoever believeth on him should not perish, but have everlasting life - John 3:16

I personally believe, "that God derives great pleasure from giving." If you really want to make God smile, just open your heart and hands to freely receive what he has to give to you today...God is good and he shows us his goodness by giving!
