 NOTHING LEFT OUT

If you have put your trust in what God has done for you in Christ Jesus, then you need to realize that God is living His Life within you by the Holy Spirit. He has not left anything out. He lives Life within you, and you have all you need to follow Him, to hear Him, to know Him and to cooperate with Him in what He is doing in the world to rescue others who were just as lost, confused and spiritually dead as you once were.

When you find yourself being led to worry, the devil is trying to subtly covey lies that God is not who He says He is. This is called a "doctrine of demons" as is usually grounded in the moment by referencing the reality of God against what you are feeling. Your feelings do not define who you are in Christ, but, the world around you has grown accustomed to defining who they are by what they feel. That is why life seems so unstable. Feelings come and go, are affected by what we ate for lunch, how much sleep we had or didn't have, by barometric pressure and the instability of others around you. God doesn't change. His promises never vary. His Presence in you is not modified by a "bad hair day."

Satan has not changed his demonic tactics. He wants you to doubt that God told you the Truth by attempting to get you to reference "Truth" to how you feel in the moment, or to distract you by "what ifs" or "if only". Thoughts that attempt to "exalt themselves" above the knowledge of God, what God has revealed about Himself in His Word. Those "vain imaginings" need to be stopped in their tracks, rejected and disposed of by bringing them to Jesus saying, "Do you see this crap!? I bring it to you to be torched in the Holy Spirit's fire. I don't want lies lodging in my mind!"

I may not always be able to see how God is working in the day-to-day, or moment-by-moment, but I can always see clearly who God is and how He keeps His covenant commitment to us in His Word, His revealed, written Word. I go there when I can't see clearly. It is my "touchstone" reminding me that He will never change, and that nothing in all creation can separate me from His love in Christ Jesus.

The Lord Jesus has left nothing out. His salvation working in you is complete and is being worked out in you with His promise to bring to completion what He began. It can all be worked out in you BECAUSE you belong to Him; you are His and He is Life within you.

Your hope is built on nothing less that Jesus' blood and righteousness. You dare not trust the "sweetest frame" but wholly lean on Jesus' Name. On Christ, the Solid Rock you stand; all other ground is sinking sand. (Great old hymn of faith.)

WHAT DO YOU BLESS? It would be an act of utter folly and disaster were I to choose to "bless" what God will not bless. God's wrath is set against anything and anyone that would try and hinder you becoming all He created you to be and to grow in by being united to Him through the sacrifice and resurrection of Jesus Christ. There is nothing arbitrary about the Word of God. He is very specific on what will make for life and what will not. Human life only becomes human life when the Holy Spirit becomes Life withing a believer. Being united to the death and resurrection of Jesus Christ, the follower of Jesus becomes a new creation and begins to live Life as God intended. God begins the good work, and He is the One who will bring it to competition. Somethings will NEVER make for life. What God calls sin, missing the mark of what will make for life, is always sin regardless of what culture anywhere and anytime say to the contrary. Sin cannot save, heal, redeem, restore or remake...

 INFINITELY MORE Ephesians 3:20-21 " Now all glory to God, Who is able, through His mighty power at work within us, to accomplish infinitely more than we might ask or think.   Glory to Him in the church and in Christ Jesus through all generations forever and ever! Amen." In the Gospel of John, many of His followers turned away because of the covenant commitment He required of those who would follow Him. That covenant declared that what was to happen to Jesus would also happen to them. We, too, must lay our lives down and choose the will and way of God's Kingdom over all else. Those in the crowd knew that in Jerusalem, the Jewish religious leaders were plotting and planning Jesus' destruction. To follow Jesus to that degree required denying self and the thrall of the world and its ways, even to the point of laying one's life down by refusing to deny the Lord and His salvation. Jesus turned to the 12 and asked, " Are you also going to leave?" ( John 6:67-...

BEWARE DECEPTION   Deuteronomy 18:9 “When you enter the land the Lord your God is giving you, be very careful not to imitate the detestable customs of the nations living there. Deuteronomy 12:29-30 “When the Lord your God goes ahead of you and destroys the nations and you drive them out and live in their land, do not fall into the trap of following their customs and worshiping their gods. Do not inquire about their gods, saying, ‘How do these nations worship their gods? I want to follow their example.’ Pragmatics was the downfall of Israel when they took possession of the Promised Land. To the unredeemed eye, it seemed that the fertility gods and agricultural gods of the pagan nations actually were helping the indigenous peoples. Just because something works does not make it right or good.  God promised to prosper His people if they would trust Him to the point of obeying His Word. God's Word is not empty. When He directs and commands, it is always for...
