 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.)

  PRAYER Jesus Christ NEVER taught on what we call "unanswered prayer." James wrote that a divided loyalty between trusting the Lord God for life and at the same time relying on the world's systems to get what you want will result in you not getting anything from God you may have prayed about. God will never reinforce the unbelief that flows from divided loyalty. THAT is not unanswered prayer. That is God saying, "No." to your request. God saying, "No." to your requests is not unanswered prayer. It is His grace. His "No" is just what I would want if I knew what He knows. The Lord also answers with, "Not now; not yet." because we are not yet prepared to receive what we think we need. God works in us both to will and to do His good pleasure. If I am praying for something God wants to do in me and the Holy Spirit is working in me preparing me to receive what God has in store, His "Not yet." is NOT unanswered prayer. As we see...

 HEBREWS 10:1-2, 10-18 "The sacrifices under that system ( the Old Covenant) were repeated again and again, year after year, but they were never able to provide perfect cleansing for those who came to worship.   If they could have provided perfect cleansing, the sacrifices would have stopped, for the worshipers would have been purified once for all time, and their feelings of guilt would have disappeared.   For God’s will was for us to be made holy by the sacrifice of the body of Jesus Christ, once for all time.  Under the Old Covenant, the priest stands and ministers before the altar day after day, offering the same sacrifices again and again, which can never take away sins.   But our High Priest offered Himself to God as a single sacrifice for sins, good for all time. Then He sat down in the place of honor at God’s right hand.   There He waits until His enemies are humbled and made a footstool under His feet.   For by that one offering He forever m...

IN GOD'S MAGE Genesis 1:26   "Then God said, “Let  us  make adam (the Hebrew is 'adam' meaning mankind) in  our  image, after  our  likeness. And let them have dominion over the fish of the sea and over the birds of the heavens and over the livestock and over all the earth and over every creeping thing that creeps on the earth.” The use of plural "us & our" should not be discounted. Even in the Shema, the foundational declaration of God's chosen people, "Hear or Israel the Lord (plural) our God (plural), the Lord (plural) is ECHUD (meaning one but not singular). Rabbis say that was to denote the fullness of God. St. Athanasius agreed. Father, Son and Holy Spirit...the fullness of our God in three Persons, blessed Trinity.  Adam, by the way, is the generic word for mankind. It becomes the proper name for the first man created by God. It is important to see that God called their name (male and female) ADAM. Genesis 5:1-2 ...
