Encouraging Christians

God spoke words and the known universe appeared “ex nihilo” out of nothing! God's Word is so powerful we cannot conceive in our tiny little brains just all that God accomplished in 1 week of creation. We understand this by faith.

Faith - a conviction. Faith - a foundation. Faith - a subfloor. What is yours like?

Are you on your way to Heaven by faith or are you on your way to hell by judgment?

Our choices move us in one direction or another. What direction are your choices moving you towards?

Grace to Repent and Recover Yourself from Satan's snare in your life. That's true freedom.

Are you currently trapped in a snare from Satan? Would you like to recover yourself from that snare? What is the Truth you need to acknowledge from God? Are you willing to humbly repent and change as God leads you?

Genuine Repentance results in a genuine change and obedience to God's Word. If you are not obeying God's Word then you have not repented. If you want help reach out to us at encouragingchristians@gmail.com please.

Sometimes our snares get so dominating we become dominated by them. But Jesus is and offers true Hope to every Hopeless person - even you. Will you acknowledge His truth today?

There is only one true source of Hope - Truth! Do you know and live according to God's Truth or do you make up your own as you go? One leads to genuine freedom and the other to a self-inflicted snare.

What do you owe God? What offense toward God has your sin caused? Jesus loves you. Jesus died for you. Jesus paid for the total price of all your sins and penalties on the cross. Will You Put It On His Account Today? Please reach out to us at encouragingchristians@gmail.com and let us know how we can encourage you personally as a believer today.

Titus 3:5 summarizes salvation and the ongoing renewal of the believer as completed by the Holy Spirit. Are you regularly experiencing His renewal process in you?

You got saved by Grace. Are you still following God's Grace in your life?

Are you fighting as a Christian? Are you fighting against the world, the flesh, and the Devil? Are you fighting against the enemy? Is it a good fight that you are fighting?

Loyalty: Biblical, Abusive, Conditional, or Exploitive? Which kind do you practice? Which kind do you want to live by?

Are you a loyal person? Would your mate say that you are? Would your church describe you that way? Do you know what Biblical loyalty is?

What happens when someone loyal to you stops benefiting you? How do you respond?

What does it mean to give your full loyalty to God? Are you able to do just that?

I am loyal to you or God so long as you are loyal to me. Does this mean - I am loyal to you until you stop benefiting me? Is that Biblical loyalty?

Don't let your pleasures become your idols.

What promises you relief or an escape gradually becomes your master. Who or what is your Master?

Hatred for another human being is the first step towards murder. Do you hate any person?

Envy is horrible. Envy makes you lonely. How?

Are you falling for a heresy or remaining Humble, Teachable, and focused on truth?

Have you experienced someone in your church trying to split the church under the guise of “standing for the truth?” Ask yourself and others, “Does their spirit reflect Christ? Are they masking a hidden wounded pride or is it a ploy or desire for influence?” Why do they speak against authority instead submitting to God and functioning under authority? Why don't they quietly leave and find a place they can worship peacefully instead causing sedition?

Is the Holy Spirit producing Humility, Love, Peace, and Meekness in you? Have you grown more to reflect these daily since you got saved? Does Strife, constant tension, broken teamwork, loss of joy, and confusion describe you better than those fruit of the Spirit? Do you want to be a person known for Strife or Peace?

Strife - living and serving my self-interest more than God or anyone around me. Does this describe you?

What happens when we don't love God 1st and most?

Moving away from the flesh and leaning towards the Spirit. Would you say this is the path you are on?

How do you bring into control your wrath or explosive anger that aims at revenge and retribution? Are you willing to admit that it's a work of your flesh?

What is in your heart will come out for others to experience - good, bad, or just downright ugly! What do you want them to see?

Emulations - A Painful Jealousy - to what degree do you find yourself jealous of others who receive blessings?

Some people enjoy causing contention and stirring up strife. They are walking in the flesh and fulfilling the work of the flesh known as variance. Is this you?

Hatred - a hostile attitude of unforgiveness, resentment, and bitterness holds captive the one who harbors it in their heart.

Hatred kills long before physical death.

God has a purpose and plan for each of us. He is the Creator. He created you. He is the giver of life. He gave you the gift of life? Are you fulfilling His purpose, His way?

Becoming A Person Of Grace

He is Real. Christ is Real. Heaven is Real. The Rapture is Real. How Real is He to you today?

Desiring power without submission to God leads to trying to divine spiritual or supernatural power not sourced in God. Do you sweetly submit to the Holy Spirit or do you seek power for you and your spirit?

God is All-Powerful. You can trust Him. Do You?

Moving from Darkness to light.

The irks of the Flesh are manifest in Witchcraft.

Are you responsible to manifest the fruit of the Spirit or are you responsible to submit to the Spirit? When we submit to the Spirit, He manifests and produces the fruit of the Spirit in us. We can try to imitate it but it's still just carnal flesh. When we fall in line as a soldier, to the daily direction and leadership of the Spirit of God, we are walking in the Spirit and He is then producing His fruit in us.

What do you have an inner conflict over? Is it a daily conflict? Paul had a daily conflict with His flesh. He said, “I die daily.” Do you crucify your flesh daily?Do you conform to the Spirit daily? Do you walk in the flesh daily and manifest the works of the flesh daily in your heart and in your mind and hope to God that no one else can see your flesh?

We all face temptations. We all have a flesh-centered carnal heart. Who we yield to makes us different: the Flesh or The Holy Spirit.

Do you have an idolatrous heart? How do you identify the idol and win as a believer before it is manifesting in your life to others?

Modern idols such as:Money CareerSuccessA Relationship ChildrenYour Reputation ComfortPoliticsTechnologyGamingEntertainment MinistryAny of these may become an idol in each of our lives that diminishes our intimacy with God. If you haven't heard from Him in a while, ask Him what idol has diminished your intimacy with God. You may already know what it is. How do you make it right with God?

What do you manifest to yourself? Works or Flesh?

Angry, upset, letting others know you are unhappy since life didn't go your way. Where does this come from?

The Lord does not abandon those who have been bruised. He restores them with patient strength.

Just for 1 day be Spirit-filled and directed, how would you be different?

Lasciviousness is a manifestation of a work of the flesh. Many people are in bondage to this behavior because they are in bondage to lasciviousness in their heart and mind. Lasciviousness is unrestrained sensuality. It's when a person throws off moral restraints. They then lose shame over their sinful behavior. Lasciviousness is destructive to one's life because they begin to celebrate in their heart what they once resisted when they were pure and embracing a pure conscience and lifestyle. Their conscience becomes hardened. Their unrestrained sin becomes public. Others are influenced towards compromise. Please, fellow Christian: Check yourself, before you Wreck yourself!
