Because of Jesus

Today’s Manna in the Word:
Because of Jesus Christ

The gift of God to us is Jesus Christ.

It is not of ourselves, but the gift of God that we are able.

It is through the gift of God who is Jesus Christ that we are able to connect with the God of the Bible, the God of Creation. Jesus gives us his life. A life in Christ is a life in God. What limit would you now have?

“I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me.” ‭‭Philippians‬ ‭4‬:‭13‬ ‭NKJV‬‬

In all that you do, in all that you face, look to Jesus and the Cross. Look to the life he gives you. Look to the relationship he gives you. He is your strength and, many times, your ability to do, to accomplish those things before you.

Receive Jesus.
Receive his ability to do in your life.

Amen?

Now Faith … the Evidence of Things Unseen

The evidence of things unseen.

The hardest part about faith is not seeing. It is a concept that by trusting the words that are spoken by God, who is Elohim (All Mighty), are so sure and true that they take on the same tangible, sensible aspects of hard, physical evidence. To out limited minds and spiritual awareness, anything that is not seen and touchable is difficult to believe. The state of Missouri gained reputation of being the “Show Me” state, because so many of the inhabitants would not believe something unless they saw it. Jesus was quoted in Matthew 12:39 as saying, “An evil and adulterous generation seeks after a sign, …”

A sign: hard, physical evidence

A Simple Testimony

My spirit is full. My spirit and mind are full of hurt from seeing a people lost and a Church of hate. These things ought not be so.

Being Examples, Men of God

 

Believe on the Lord Jesus Christ and you will be saved; you and your household. [Acts 16.31]

In this passage we hear Paul’s response to the Philippian jailer. To fill in the story, Paul and Silas went to Philippi, preached the gospel, caused a riot, were whipped, and thrown into jail. Around midnight praising God, an earthquake happened and the doors to the jail cells opened. The jailer thought everyone left. He started to kill himself when Paul stopped him. The jailer takes Paul and Silas home, tends to their wounds, and then has church.

Who I am and what I carry

We spend a lot of time wondering who we are. It is almost like there is an intentional efforts to skew our identities. And, there is. If we were to walk in who we should be this world, this life, would be dramatically different.

It had to be a cross

People over time have looked at Christianity with a question: why a cross? Why would a loving god put anyone through that for someone else? It had to be a cross. It had to be the most horrific example of human cost, inevitable, public, painful, without repentance. The cross made a permanent marker, a line that could only be crossed once: death.

So, you got saved… now what?

You may have said a prayer like this: “Jesus, I accept the price you paid at the cross for my sins. I ask you to forgive me, come live with me, and let me live with you. Be with me this day and give me Your Holy Spirit. Amen.” If you meant that in the heart of your being, then you are “saved”. Now what?

Prodigal Son, Father, and Brother

One of the discoveries I made over the years is “bad parents make bad parents”. The cycle of relationships tend to repeat in following generations unless there is some trigger, some impetus to change the cycle. That comes with making a decision to change. It is even easier when the decision to walk with God is made, and a lifestyle of learning from God begins.

They know not what they do

Jesus had come to be one of us, perfect in relationship with God, the Father. Jesus lived his life as example that Man could walk with God in perfect unity. Then, he traded that life to fulfill covenant promises made so that we can have that same life of unity with God, the Father. Because of what Jesus did, we can be one with the Father; if we accept it and walk in it. Many, too many, are passionate in their belief that what they are doing is right; even when it is wrong. Jesus prayed, while on the cross being mocked and ridiculed, “Father, forgive them, for they know not what they do.”[1]
