 MORE THAN A "FINE-TUNING" IS NEEDED

The prevailing cultural mindset of our day would have you actually believe that all you need in your life is some "fine-tuning" because there's nothing really that broken in you.

It's a well-crafted lie and appeals to a gangrenous pride that has infected humanity since Adam and Eve blamed God for their own rebellious folly and its lasting effect on all of humanity.

Every philosophical system, every religious system, every person when left to their own thought in isolation admits that something is wrong. Things are not what they should be relationally, nationally, emotionally, physically, psychologically, politically, etc.

People, we do not need a "fine-tuning". When something is dead, it doesn't need another coat of makeup to spruce it up. What humanity needs is a new heart, a new life to replace the internal, spiritual death that continues to mar, divide, destroy and deceive. 

What is broken is incapable of fixing itself. It needs help from outside itself. God knows that and has done what is necessary for all humanity to be restored in perfect relationship with the One in Whom Life is found. God has already done what was eternally impossible for us to even contemplate. Jesus Christ took into Himself the sum-total death of the human race brought on by sin and conquered it as evidenced by His Resurrection from the dead. 

We can now receive forgiveness for our true moral guilt, receive new hearts and a new spirit for He will come and live out His life in us by the Holy Spirit.

You don't need tweaking. You need the power of a New Life. Believe what God has done for you. Receive His grace. Become fully human again. There is no other way.

 HIS POWER...HIS PROMISE Helping people walk in the Spirit the devotional below is seminal! The devotion below is today from Oswald Chambers. I makes me think of some I have known that have assumed that the Lord doesn’t want them empowered by the Holy Spirit or that He won’t manifest Himself in them because they have reasoned otherwise. Given ministry opportunities to have the Holy Spirit confirm the Word of God with demonstration of the Holy Spirit and power, they rely on how they feel, their experience thus far and not on the reality that the will of God in mission and ministry is either done in the Holy Spirit’s Power or not at all. Our capacity to do what Jesus does has nothing to do with our imagined capacity, but upon the indwelling power of God through is. Now to Him who is able to do far above and beyond what we could ever imagine or think, by His power at work in us now, to Him be glory…   Matthew 25:14-30 Jesus told the parable of the bags of gold as a warning ...

  DEVOTE YOURSELF TO PRAYER Colossians 4:2 "Devote yourselves to prayer with an alert mind and a thankful heart." The word "devote" in the Old Testament refers to the whole burnt offering. To devote something was to surrender everything, nothing held back, to be consumed by the Lord. Devoted to prayer entails giving your whole self to prayer in utter surrender of all you are to God in intentional communication, not religious meanderings. It is a seeking of the Lord, asking the Holy Spirit to reveal the Presence of God to you, to enter into the throne room in Jesus' name. This devoted seeking of the Lord in prayer involves communicating ALL the Holy Spirit brings to mind and heart. It is a remembering all He has done for you in Christ Jesus in gratitude, worship and praise. It will contain intercessions for family, friends, and those you know who are still outside the grace of God, lost and without hope in the world. Such devoted prayer will result in you bringi...

 HE IS RISEN! IT IS FINISHED! After the Israelites had passed through the Red Sea by God opening the way for them to be saved, the whole of Pharoah's army, his horsemen and chariots pursued God's people into the opened way. Once they were all in, the waters flowed back into their place with suddenness and fury. Not one of the enemies survived. All perished in those waters. When Jesus Christ hung on the cross, all that sin contained, the full measure of the rebellion of mankind for all time, all the wickedness that was ever in human hearts were absorbed into the Lamb of God as He died our death, received our just judgement from God for all time, taking all that sin and death contained. In Him, sin and death died once and for all. They were overwhelmed, covered and drowned in the sea of His precious blood, poured out for the sin of the whole world. Not one enemy remained alive, all were stripped of their power to hold us in slavery to sin any longer. All their weapons were confis...
