FREELY  GIVEN  TO  US

August 25, 2021                                    FREELY  GIVEN  TO  US
1 Corinthians 2:9-10, 12 “But as it is written. Eye hath not seen, nor ear heard, neither hath entered into the heart man, the things which God hath prepared for them that live Him. But God hath revealed them unto us by His Spirit: for the Spirit searches all things, yea the deep things of God.”      “Now we have received not the things of the world, but the Spirit which is of God; that we might know the things that are freely given to us by God.”
It is likely that we underestimate the power, the impact, and the work of the Holy Spirit who lives in those who belong to God. Verse nine above is normally interpreted has what God has prepared for us in heaven; BUT, notice the BUT at the beginning of verse ten. The statement “But God hath revealed them to us by His Spirit” is an amazing and intriguing statement. To believe that God has revealed to us the things that ‘eye hath not seen’ and the ‘things which God has prepared for those who love Him,’ is certainly a departure from the common belief of many believers. Verse nine is not just about what is prepared for us in heaven; it is also about what God has prepared and made available to us in the here and now. We must note that this promise of knowing what He has prepared for us, is reserved for those who love Him. I am not suggesting that we know all things in the ‘here and now’ or that we know in detail what we will see once we are in heaven; but I am suggesting that God has more for us in the here and now that we might currently know. The good news, almost too good to be true, is that the things He has for us, He freely gives to us! Again, there is a proviso: God gives more revelation and understanding to those who love Him. If by chance we question our love for Him, we need not feel condemnation, because it is likely the Holy Spirit that is drawing our heart and our love to the Father; God is for us, not against us. Just to mention a few things that God has freely given to us; He has given us hope, love, faith, confidence, mercy, encouragement, patience, power, joy, peace, purpose, wisdom and understanding, self-control, kindness, fellowship with Him and with other believers, diligence….and much more. These gifts from our Father are lasting, and even increase. What we focus on is so important; we need to develop our mindset and have the eyes of our hearts opened so that we may see the things He has given to us. Ephesians 1:18. No matter our background, no matter our present circumstances, no matter how we may have ignored God, let us see that He loves us and He has freely given us His Spirit who reveals all that He has given to you and I. God is indeed a good God!
James 1:17 “Every good gift and every perfect gift is from above, coming down from the Father of lights with whom there is no variation or shadow due to change.”
2 Corinthians 9:8 “And God is able to make all grace abound to you, so that all ways having all sufficiency in everything, you may have an abundance for every good deed.”

OUR  JOY  MADE  FULL

August 23, 2021                                   OUR  JOY  MADE  FULL
John 14:23 “Jesus answered and said to him, ‘If anyone loves Me, he will keep my word; and My Father will love him, and we will come to him, and make our abode with him.”
John 15:9-11,14 “Just as the Father has loved Me, I have also loved you; abide in My love. If you keep My commandments, you will abide in My love; just as I have kept My Fathers commandments, and abide in His love. These things I have spoken to you, that My joy may be in you, and that your joy may be made full.”     “You are My friends, if you do what I command you.”
In our culture of independence and self-reliance, the words ‘command’ and ‘obey’ have a negative connotation for many. Many perceive God as a God who gives out commands, and if we do not obey His commands, we are in trouble; also, some have the view that the commands of God somehow rob us of life, and would keep us from doing what we want to do. The part of us that resist the commands of God is our old man, the flesh; but we are not bound to the flesh; we can walk according to the Spirit, and not according to the flesh. As we read God’s word with an open heart and mind, we discover that God is a good God; that He is for us and not against us; that He has a great love for us; and that He desires that His children experience abundant life and a life filled with joy. In fact, He sent His Son to die for us that we might come to know Him as our Father. We need to rid ourselves of any view of God that is not in keeping with who He is. Loving and keeping God’s word go hand-in-hand; it’s crystal clear-if we love God, we will desire to keep His commands. To embrace and to walk in the ways of God is to embrace life. All of the commands of God are for our good! The battle we face is that of choosing to live according to our ways-our logic, our thinking, our desires-or to the ways of God that are clearly presented in His word; it is a matter of submitting (another word that has a negative connotation to many) to God’s word as the authority in life. In our spirit, we know that His commands are good; commands such as-be kind-hearted, encourage one another, prefer others, honor others, help one another, forgive others, give, bless……and the list goes on. The great news is that if we love Him, we will keep His word; and Jesus and His Father will come to us and make their abode in us! We are in error if we believe that we can live according to our ways and at the same time enjoy the presence of the Lord. Obeying God’s word is not about trying to earn His love, but about expressing our love for Him by keeping His word; God loves us even if we do not walk in His ways, but He desires that we experience life to the fullest-and that is done by keeping and by doing His word. God promises that when we keep His commands, our joy will be full!
Romans 15:13 “May the God of hope fill you with all joy and peace as you trust in Him, so that you may overflow with hope by the power of the Holy Spirit.”

REIGNING  IN  LIFE

August 21, 2021                                      REIGNING  IN  LIFE
Romans 5:17 “For if the transgression of the one, death reigned through the one, much more those who receive the abundance of grace and of the gift of righteousness will reign in life through the One, Jesus Christ.”
Romans 8:31, 37 “What shall we say to these things? If God is for us, who is against us?” “But in all these things we overwhelmingly conquer through the One who loved us.”
1 Corinthians 15:57 “But thanks be to be to God! He gives us the victory through our Lord Jesus Christ.”
God has made provision for His sons and daughters to overcome the ways of the world; He has made us overcomers. Yet, many believers find themselves being overcome and defeated by the ways and the cares of the world instead of being overcomers in this fallen world. Just what is there to overcome? What are the ways of the world? Just to name a few-selfishness, anger, fear, depression, broken relationships, materialism, wars, division, addictions, dishonesty, corruption, immorality, unfaithfulness, hopelessness, pornography, ungodliness-and the list goes on. To overcome implies that there is a battle-there is something to overcome, and this battle is continual. Do we join in with the gossip? Do we tune in to programs on the television that are not fitting for believers or do we use our iPhones for the wrong things? Do we buy in to the idea of ‘self-fulfillment?’ (You get the idea.) What the world calls ‘normal’ is far from what should be ‘normal’ for the believer. If we are to overcome the ways of the world, we must believe that we are who God says we are; we must embrace our position of sons and daughters of God who have been made new creations. Our old nature-who we use to be-would have us revert back to living according to our old nature that was focused on self. God has made us light and salt in this dark world that has lost its way. We have what the world needs; we are not called to join in with the world, but to point them to the One from whom life flows; to the One who fulfills our deepest longings. It is liberating to known that we do not have to live according to the ways of this world-we can live on a higher plane; there is a better way where there is love, joy, peace, hope-even in adverse circumstances. In the kingdom of God we can love our enemies; we become givers; we honor and prefer others over ourselves; we share burdens; we have a gentle spirit and are compassionate; we speak the truth; we are quick to forgive-and a whole lot more. The next time you find yourself thinking and responding as the world would, be reminded that there is a better way-that Jesus has made you an overcomer of anything or anyone that is contrary to His ways. You and I have been set free to live in a way that is pleasing to the Lord, and living in His way has no regrets!
Romans 12:2 “And do not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind, that you may prove what the will of God is, that which is good and acceptable and perfect.”
Romans 8:37 “But in all these things we overwhelmingly conquer through Him who loved us.”
Romans 6:12-13 “Therefore do not let sin reign in your mortal body that you should obey its lust, and do not go one presenting the members of your body to sin as instruments of unrighteousness; but present your members to God as those alive from the dead, and your members as instruments of righteousness to God.”

NO  LONGER  A  SLAVE

8/19/2021

August 19, 2021                                     NO  LONGER  A  SLAVE
Galatians 4:6-7 “And because you are sons, God has sent forth the Spirit of His Son into our hearts, crying “Abba! Father!” Therefore you are no longer a slave, but a son; and if a son, then an heir through God.”
This one verse, when believed and received personally as true, solves the identity crisis and gives us the right perspective in life. Those who are sons and daughters of God are indeed privileged. All who do not know God as Lord and Savior are slaves; slaves to living life according to their own limited understanding, and slaves to sin. God came to save us, even to save us from ourselves. By receiving Jesus as Savior and Lord, we become sons and daughters, and as such, God sends forth the Spirit of His Son into our hearts. One of the greatest works of the Spirit in us is that of revealing to us that God is our Father! The word “Abba” is used as a term of endearment and intimacy and knowing God as Father in a personal way. We may know in our mind, and believe that God is our Father, but when the Spirit reveals this truth to us in the deepest part of our being, everything changes-and changes for the better! As sons and daughters, we have a rich inheritance in God, and the good news is that we do not have to wait until we die and get to heaven to receive our inheritance-it starts now and will continue throughout eternity-our inheritance will never be exhausted! I shared in a previous blog about how on one particular night, as I looked up to admire a beautiful star filled night sky, I heard in my spirit what I knew without a doubt was a word from God. What I heard was: “The God that made those stars is your Father.” Had you asked me years before that particular night if I believed that God was my Father, I would have said ‘of course I know that.’ That night when the Holy Spirit revealed to me that God is my real Father, everything changed. I suddenly realized that since GOD IS MY FATHER, what do I have to fear or what do I have to worry about? NOTHING! Many believers still live as slaves, not knowing or experiencing life as a son or daughter of God, not enjoying the inheritance that is theirs. The gospel truth is that we are no longer orphans and slaves to self and sin; we have been made sons and daughters of God and our inheritance has already began. Let us focus on, let it be the chief desire of our heart to know God as Abba Father. If and when that is our desire, we can be assured that the Spirit will begin to reveal to us that God is indeed our real Father. The Spirit of His Son has already been sent forth into our hearts.
Luke 12:32 “Do not be afraid, little flock, for your Father has been pleased to give you the kingdom.”
1 John 3:1 “Behold what manner of love the Father has bestowed on us, that we should be called the children of God.”
John 20:17b “I ascend to My Father and your Father, and My God and your God.”

IN  TIME  OF  NEED

August 17, 2021                                        IN  TIME  OF  NEED
Hebrews 4:16 “Let us therefore draw near with confidence to the throne of grace, that we may receive mercy and may find grace to help in time of need.”
2 Corinthians 1:3 “Praise be to the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of compassion and the God of all comfort, who comforts us in all our troubles, so that we can comfort those in any trouble with the comfort we ourselves receive from God.”
Matthew 11:28-30 “Come to Me, all who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest. Take My yoke upon you and learn from Me, for I am gentle and humble in heart, and you will find rest for your souls. For My yoke is comfortable, and My burden is light.”
Who is not, or has not been in a time of need? We tend to think that it is up to us to deal with, and to figure out how to get through our troubles. Often, we simply try to ignore our troubles, hoping they will go away; we may try to find something or someone that will help us forget our troubles. I love the phrase in the second verse above that tells us that God “comforts us in all our troubles.” Even though no one finds pleasure in troubles, troubles are a part of life-and God knows that. We can bring about our own troubles, but often, troubles come not as a result of our own actions or our own doings-they just come. The great news that we must not forget is that God, our Father, knows about our troubles and He invites us to draw near to Him so that we can find grace and mercy and comfort. He does not always make the troubles disappear, but He always comforts us-if we draw near to Him. The awesome, standing invitation from God is “Come to Me, all who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest.” If we do not draw near to Him and find comfort from Him, our troubles lead to all sorts of complications; going through troubles or times of need alone can lead to depression, loneliness and isolation, distraction, and can have an adverse effect on our health as well as our relationships with others. As we draw near to Him, as we go to Him, we tell him about the pain and disappointment we feel and we confess that our troubles and our needs are more than we can handle. God says that He is “gentle and humble in heart” and that we will “find rest for our souls.” How awesome and reassuring is that! When troubles come and we find ourselves in a place of need, God invites us to draw near to Him that He may help.
1 Peter 5:7 “Cast all your anxiety on Him because He cares for you.”
Psalm 46:1 “God is our refuge and strength, a very present help in trouble.”
Isaiah 41:10 “Fear not, for I am with you; be not dismayed, for I am your God; I will strengthen you, I will help you. I will uphold you with My righteous right hand.”

AWAKE  TO  RIGHTEOUSNESS  continued

August 15, 2021                               AWAKE  TO  RIGHTEOUSNESS       continued
1 Corinthians 15:34 “Awake to righteousness, and sin not, for some have not the knowledge of God: I speak this to your shame.”
In the previous blog, we looked at how critical it is that we embrace the truth of the above verse-that we ‘awake to righteousness’-that we awake to who God has made us, and sin not. When we hear “sin not,’ many jump to the erroneous conclusion that we are referring to a state of ‘sinless perfection.’ The main point is that we adjust out thinking-our belief-to what the scriptures clearly teach regarding believers having the power to say no to sin. This is not just a play on words, but is a huge issue; what we believe about the new nature and the old nature directly affects how we live. The old flesh part of us does oppose the new nature that God has given us, BUT we have the power not to yield to the flesh! We can ‘die’ to the flesh-not be subject to it. If we believe, if we allow the old nature to be ‘alive and well,’ then we will find ourselves habitually sinning. However, if we have died to self and choose to walk according to the Spirit, we will not sin. As said in the last posting, we have the power to choose not to sin. (The temptation to sin is not sin; yielding to the temptation is sin.) With that being said, let us look at just a few of the verses that tell us that the power of sin over us has been broken.                                                                                                                                                                         Romans 8:2 “For the law of the Spirit of life has set you free in Christ Jesus from the law of sin and death.”
Romans 6:12-14 “Therefore do not let sin reign in your mortal body to obey it in its lust. And do not present your members as instruments of unrighteousness to sin, but present yourselves to God as being alive from the dead, and your members as instruments of righteousness to God. For sin shall not have dominion over you, for you are not under law but under grace.”
Romans 6:1 “What shall we say, then? Are we to continue in sin that grace may abound? Far from it! How shall we who died to sin still live in it?
1 Peter 1:15 “but like the Holy One who called you, be holy yourselves in all your behavior; because it is written, “You shall be holy, for I am holy.”
1 John 3:6 “No one who abides in Him keeps on sinning; no one who keeps on sinning has neither seen Him or known Him.”
1 Peter 4:1-2 “Therefore, since Christ has suffered in the flesh, arm yourselves with the same purpose, because he who has suffered in the flesh has ceased from sin, so as to live the rest of the time in the flesh no longer for the lust of men, but for the will of God.”
Galatians 5:16 “But I say, walk by the Spirit, and you will not carry out the desires of the flesh.”
Let us not miss the life-changing, most wonderful truth, that we have been made new creations and can now live in righteousness, no longer in bondage to sin; let us AWAKE TO RIGHTEOUSNESS.

AWAKE  TO  RIGHTEOUSNESS

August 13, 2021                                   AWAKE  TO  RIGHTEOUSNESS
1 Corinthians 15:34 “Awake to righteousness, and sin not; for some have not the knowledge of God: I speak this to your shame.”
This is an amazing verse; it sums us in just six words a vital truth that must be embraced if we are to live this Christian life that God has made available to us. It seems apparent that most believers have the view that even though we are sinners saved by grace, we still live with the old nature that causes us to habitually sin. This view comes from misunderstanding what Paul was saying in Romans 7 where he was describing life lived according to the old man, the flesh. Paul goes on to say that he was delivered from that life by life in Christ Jesus; Romans 7 was NOT Paul’s testimony. It is certainly true that we are saved by grace and not by works, but when we are saved, God makes us new creations with new hearts, new minds, and new spirits; at salvation, we get a new nature that is not drawn to sin. There are numerous verses that in no uncertain terms tell us that the power of sin has been broken and that we are no longer slaves to sin. Our salvation is so much more than a ticket to heaven; with our salvation comes the power to say no to sin! It is possible for believers to choose to live according to the flesh, but it is a choice. Galatians 5:16 tells us “But I say, walk by the Spirit, and you will not carry out the desire of the flesh.”  The danger of not embracing the truth that we have the power to say no to sin is that we excuse our sin by blaming it on the sin nature that works in us; and as a result, we may not even feel remorse or repentant when we sin, because after all-‘that’s just our nature.’ This is not about ‘sinless perfection;’ it’s about walking in the Spirit and in the ways of God; it’s about overcoming sin; and it’s about living in a way that is pleasing to the Lord. 1 John 2:1 says that “If we sin, we have an advocated with the Father.” Note the word ‘if;’ if we as believers make the choice to not walk by the Spirit and to walk according our flesh (if we sin), God forgives that sin when we confess it and turn from it. The key truth for us from today’s verse is that WE AWAKE to RIGHTEOUSNESS-awake to who God has made us-AND SIN NO MORE!!! There is more to look at on this topic, so we will continue in next posting.
Romans 6:1-2 “What shall we say then? Are we to continue in sin so that grace may increase? May it never be! How shall we who died to sin still live in it?”

CLEANSE  OURSELVES

8/11/2021

0 Comments

 
 
August 11, 2021                                         CLEANSE  OURSELVES
2 Timothy 2:20-21 “Now in a large house there are not only gold and silver vessels, but of wood and earthenware, and some to honor and some to dishonor. Therefore, if a man cleanses himself from these things, he will be a vessel for honor, sanctified, useful to the M aster, prepared for every good work.”
Some have the view and the belief that ‘it is all up to God,’ and have more or less neglected the fact that believers have a responsibility to fulfill when it comes to our spiritual health and living out the gospel. Misunderstanding grace can lead one to such a belief. I have even heard it said that “It does not matter what we do because we are under the grace of God.” That perception is contrary to God’s word and it opens the door to choices that are detrimental to our well-being. Don’t misunderstand; if it was not for the grace of God, we would be lost, without hope, and we would not be forgiven of our sins. It is by God’s grace that we are able to act on and follow the teachings and the commands we find in God’s word. As I have often said, we must work with God as He works in us, and we must ‘work out’ our salvation. As you read 2 Timothy, and many other scriptures, you will discover what we are to cleanse ourselves of; we are to cleanse ourselves of any thoughts, actions and beliefs that are contrary to the ways of God. It is critical for us to know that we have the power-because of the grace of God and His presence in us-to cleanse ourselves. It sounds rather simple, but it is freeing and awesome to know that we can stop doing whatever we need to stop doing and we can start doing what we should be doing. The motive for cleansing ourselves is that we now belong to Him, have been joined to Him, and we are the temple of the Holy Spirit. Also, if we know experientially the love God has for us, it is only natural to want to do the things that please Him. We can make the choice to walk by the Spirit, and as we do, we will not fulfill the desires of the the flesh-the things we need to cleanse ourselves from. Some excuse wrong actions and thoughts by claiming that ‘that is just the way they are’ or that ‘we all sin, therefore, it’s not a big deal.’ The good news is that in Christ, we are overcomers, we are new creations, and the Holy Spirit lives in us. Cleansing ourselves is a continual action on our part; we daily put off the old man and put on the new man we are in Christ; we lay aside anything that is  not pleasing to the Lord.
2 Corinthians 7:1 “Therefore, having these promises, beloved, let us cleanse ourselves from all defilement of flesh and spirit, perfecting holiness in the fear of God.”
Hebrews 12:1b “let us also lay aside every encumbrance and the sin which so easily entangles us, and let us run with endurance the race that is set before us.”

STRESS-FREE  LIVING

8/9/2021

August 9, 2021                                      STRESS-FREE  LIVING
Philippians 4:6-7 “Be anxious for nothing, but in everything by prayer and supplication, with thanksgiving, let your request be made to God; and the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding, will guard your hearts and minds through Christ Jesus.”
Matthew 6:26-27 “Look at the birds of the air, for they neither sow or reap nor gather into barns; yet your heavenly Father feeds them. Are you not of more value than they? Which of you by worrying can add one cubit to his stature?
Just the title of this posting may draw a reaction. Surely, stress is a part of life, right? I admit that the idea of living a stress-free life may sound like one of those ‘pipe dreams.’ I understand that jobs, relationships, health, and the world of politics can be a source of stress. However, in God’s word we discover that a stress-free is available to us. How we view stress and how we deal with stress reveals deep issues of our hearts; central to this issue is that of expectations and trust. Living stress-free does not mean a life free of challenges, difficulties and trials, and it does not mean that we have our heads buried in the sand. Our response to the potential stress-producers is the issue. I understand that a lot could be said about stress, but hopefully we can in a few sentences open the door to the possibility of living free of stress. (We all know the adverse effects of living under stress.) First, we need revelation in our hearts and the deepest part of our being that God IS OUR FATHER. When we come to know, not just in our mind, that God is our Father, we will trust Him. From the verses above, and many other verses, we know that our Father is our PROVIDER-He cares for us and will take care of us. So, trusting God, really trusting God, is key to being stress-free. Second, the expectations we have must be in keeping with the things of God. Having self-centered expectations leads to conflict and disappointment; expectations has to do with contentment. Perhaps it takes too much for us to be content. Paul said in Philippians 4:11-13 that he had learned to be content in all circumstances-that’s an amazing declaration. We must know that Christ is sufficient and He makes us sufficient for whatever we face. A lot of our stress is self-imposed. Becoming stress-free requires that we examine our hearts, our expectations, and our trust in God. There are many practical steps we can take in eliminating stress, such as living within our income, finding contentment with less, and perhaps lowering our expectations, listening to worship music, and etc. Find some simple things to do-go on a picnic, fly a kite-or whatever-you get the point. There is a lot said about the benefits of having goals, but goals can cause stress; let us be sure to set the right kind of goals. God invites us to make our request known to Him-but then we leave them with Him to answer in any way He chooses. I understand that I have jumped all around this subject and have not given three easy steps to stress-free living, but I want us to know that God does not want us living under stress; as our trust in Him grows, as we learn, as Paul did, to be content in all circumstances, as we rid ourselves of unhealthy and unrealistic expectations, and as we take practical steps to eliminate the stress producers, we will begin to experience a stress-free life! (We will face difficulties, but we can do so stress-free.)  
Philippians 4:19 “And my God shall supply all your needs according to His riches in glory in Christ Jesus.”

A  LIVING  HOPE

8/7/2021

August 7, 2021                                         A  LIVING  HOPE
From First Peter chapter 1: “Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who according to His great mercy has caused us to be born again to a living hope through the resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead, to obtain an inheritance which is imperishable and undefiled and will not fade away, reserved in heaven for you,”       “In this you greatly rejoice, even though now for a little while, if necessary, you have been distressed by various trials, that the proof of your faith, being more precious than gold which is perishable, even though tested by fire, may be found to result in praise and glory and honor at the revelation of Jesus Christ; and though you have not seen Him, you love Him, and though you do not see Him now, but believe in Him, you greatly rejoice with joy inexpressible and full of glory, obtaining as the outcome of your faith the salvation of your souls.”       “Therefore gird your minds for action, keep sober in spirit, fix your hope completely on the grace to be brought to you at the revelation of Jesus Christ.”
As believers, we have access to a living hope; a hope that is not based on circumstances. Our over-arching hope is based on the fact that God has an inheritance reserved in heaven for us! This living hope, this assurance of all that God has in store for us, is tested by ‘various trials.’ Even though going through   trials is difficult, the trials we face serve a purpose; trials are the proof of our faith. When we face difficulties and when things do not happen like we had hoped for, our faith is tested; our response to trials has a way of exposing our faith. Our faith in God is more precious than gold which is perishable. Even though we have not seen Jesus, and even though we do not see Him now, we can still love Him and believe in Him. Loving Him and trusting Him results in the good fruit of joy, peace, hope, and a sense of completeness, no matter our circumstances. Because of all that God has done and is doing, because there is an inheritance reserved for us in heaven, because our faith is genuine and not fading away even though tested by trials, because the Spirit of God lives in us, and because we love Him, let us ‘gird our minds for action, be sober in spirit, and fix our hope completely on the grace to be brought to us at the revelation of Jesus Christ.’ Note that we are to set our hope completely on Him and the inheritance that He has for us; we are not to set our hope on things of this life. We are to be good stewards of all that He puts in our hands and we are to trust Him for our daily needs, but our hope is to be in Him.
1 Peter 1:17-19 “And if you address as Father the One who impartially judges according to each man’s work, conduct yourself in fear during the time of your stay on earth; knowing that you were not redeemed with perishable things like silver or gold from your futile way of life inherited from your forefathers, but with precious blood, as of a lamb unblemished and spotless, the blood of Christ.”
