All born of God and yet producing different results.

Two of the many benefits of serving God are (1) deliverance and (2) enlargement.  We have God's promise of His deliverance in time of trouble if we will call upon him.  We also have God's promise that when we are faithful to Him, He will bless us, promote us, enlarge us in our particular calling, in our station in life (whatever occupation we choose to pursue).

Its limitations, what it cannot do and other good questions.  

Until the pain of remaining the same is worse than the pain of changing, we will not change! (Author unknown)
We don't like change, it makes us uncomfortable, and yet sometimes the only way we can move forward in life, accomplish the things we want to accomplish, is by change.

The law, give it to Israel but it was never given to the gentiles or to the church. The law was intended to reveal sin, not to secure righteousness. The law demanded righteousness but was powerless to provide it. The law versus grace.

These statements from the Word of God are more than cheerful optimism, wishful thinking, or positive affirmation.  THIS IS THE WORD OF GOD!  When we declare these with our lips, we are declaring what God has spoken over us and declared to us that we have and are, as a member of His Family.   

A story of God's love and restoration!

So far, we have covered 22 different "in Christ", "in Him" scriptures and the list continues to grow.  These statements from the Word of God are more than cheerful optimism, wishful thinking, or positive affirmation.  THIS IS THE WORD OF GOD!  When we declare these with our lips, we are declaring what God has spoken over us and declared to us that we have and are, as a member of His Family.   

I am so glad the Bible is completed!  I would hate to have my name brought up on some Sunday morning, used as an example of how not to live life.

The reality of who we are and what we have because of our profession of faith in the Lord Jesus Christ.  All of His goodness!

If you don't really believe in what Jesus did for you by His death and resurrection, you will never believe in God's Grace or your freedom  to access His presence. 

We have such wonderful provisions because we are "in Christ".

Everything God did for us, through Christ Jesus was for two purposes: #1) to prevent the devil from taking advantage of us and destroying our lives; #2) to position us so His goodness, His blessings can flow to us.

The more I study the Bible, the more I learn about God and the more I read about the events surrounding the Christmas story, the more I see God’s love, integrity, and His wisdom involved in that narrative.  

Often times, like those under the old covenant, we are sin conscience; Because of Christ we need to be GRACE CONSCIENCE!

The Bible is a wonderful, exciting Book; full of romance , intrigue, mystery, crime, love stories, poetry, comedy, war and war stories, the miraculous and the dumb.  

To give us a clear conscience.

Prayer, King Midas & the love of God

As Christians, we need a firm foundation of what we believe and why.  We need to always "be ready always to answer anyone who asks us to explain the hope we have in us."  (1 Peter 3:15)

In Matthew chapter 6 and Luke chapter 11, Jesus gave us a model by which we could follow when we pray.  "in this manner, pray therefore."  Jesus didn't want this prayer to be a "catch all", one we repeat over and over, in place of a meaningful prayer life.  Our prayers should be made up of the different parts of the prayer Jesus modeled for us.

Expectations can be one of the strongest motivators or it can be the most crippling, debilitating forces there is.

Christ's Blood; Because Jesus Christ lived a sinless life, His blood shed on the cross of Calvary is 100% sufficient to cleanse us of all sins when appropriated individually through repentance and faith. Jesus allowed Himself to be punished for the sins we have committed, enabling all who believe to be freed from the penalty of sin (which is death) 
Repentance; Repentance is a commitment to turn away from sin in every area of our lives and to follow Christ. Through repentance we receive forgiveness of our sins

Jesus invites everyone, everywhere, to participate in the miracle of salvation, after which Jesus also invites us to participate in the promised miracle of the Baptism of or the Fullness of the Holy Spirit along with the gift of a Spiritual Language (Tongues).  Here are some things you can do to help you position yourself to receive those gifts.  

Just as surely as Jesus gave Peter the invitation, on that stormy day out at sea, to participate in a miracle, I believe there are people today who God has invited to participate in a miracle.  That miracle may be the fulfilment of a God given dream, a God given desire, the restoration of a broken relationship, the healing of a disease, or sickness.  "come!"

Now concerning spiritual gifts, brothers, I do not want you to be ignorant.  God's desire for us is for us to receive everything He has to offer us.

1 Corinthians 14:28,33,40. 

"“Because he set his love on Me, therefore I will save him; I will set him [securely] on high, because he knows My name [he confidently trusts and relies on Me, knowing I will never abandon him, no, never].   HIGH: To be made safe, to defend, to exalt; KNOWS; Recognizes, discern, NAME; A name or a title as an appellation.

 It is possible for a person to read the Bible as mere literature; to put it in the category of a classic such as Shakespeare, Plato, Gandhi or Einstein.  It is also possible to read the Bible with the aid of the Holy Spirit.  It then becomes a love story, a compass, a guide, an instructor, a comforter, and a friend.  The Bible can become food for the soul and refreshing water for the inner man.
