A Growing relationship with Christ.
What's the true meaning of life? Is it having loads of money, having all your needs met, being successful?
Trust the Lord with all your heart, and lean not to your own understanding.
The sword of the spirit is the power of the WORD, the WORD that was made flesh and dwelt among us, and now seated at the right hand of the father; having fulfilled the Promise! The Gospel is now ours.
Sealed until the day of Redemption or are you choosing to live for self. The Holy Spirit seal us with God's approval which last forever as long as we continue to Choose HIM alone.
God calls us to make a clear choice. Will we be hot, cold? Unfortunately, if we don't make the decision, we get stuck in the middle.
When you are sharing your testimony, is it laced with Jesus? Jesus the only way, truth, and lifeā¦
Unforgiveness creates a hardness of the heart, but True forgiveness comes from knowing that you are loved.
The thief on the cross inherited the Kingdom only by belief that Jesus was and is. It is really that simple! "By grace through FAITH ye are saved." "Repent and be born again"
Being saved is one thing, but being born again, is believing that your old nature/man is dead, and you are a new creature in Christ. Not mixing the old and the new, but becoming alive in Christ.
Many of us, default to "Well, if it's God's will" Do we really know what the will of God is? When we pray do we confidently believe and receive?
The path to to live right is narrow, and broad is the way of destruction. Thank you Lord for the gift of the Holy Spirit to help us on that straight and narrow path.
There is a deeper message we need to understand, Christ didn't just come to save us, but He came to reconcile us to the father.
Pride is a hinderance to us seeing the will of the Father in our lives. When God created men, we were only conscious of Him, but disobedience led us to become our own God. Now as believers of Christ, self gets in the way of seeing God's best for us.
No one knows when the end will come but as eternal spiritual beings we find our rest knowing that we are with the father, now and forever. What a blessing to have that assurance, may we continue to live as overcomers.
Before Jesus ascended, He gave us a purpose, this purpose was for all that would be disciples of Christ. To go make more disciples and teach them all that Christ had taught. All who follow Christ are called to this purpose, not limited to the pastor, or those 'working in ministry'...
Walking in victory begins with understanding that you are God's creation, and made in His likeness and image, and growing a relationship with your creator.
Perhaps self control is taking a mental and physical pause. God has made a way of escape for us but we must control our flesh to allow His spirit to rule.
The meek are able to inherit the earth because of the readiness in their Heart. Meekness toward God is that disposition of spirit in which we accept His dealings with us as good, and therefore without disputing or resisting.
Faith is the foundation of our existence? By Grace through FAITH you are saved, and the life you now live, you live by the faith of the one who gave his life for you.
How do you describe Gods character? Goodness definitely comes to mind, It's His goodness/kindness that leads men to repentance (a changed mind).
Joy is connected to hope, what mental picture do you have of your outcomes? Do you have that Joy down in your heart? The kind that's not shaken by life trials and tribulations. It's given to us through the Holy Spirit, and you can produce it in your life anytime.
Let the Peace of God rule your heart, the key word here is 'LET'!We must relinquish control, let go, and surrender all things to God so we can really benefit from the blessing of this fruit.
Our old man (mind that's not renewed) always thirsts for achievement, and tangible reward, but God desires us to be planted like a tree. In being planted, we allow our husbandman (God) to tend to our tree so that we bear much good fruit in our lives.
When we believe it and confess Christ as Lord and Savior, our gift is not only a ticket into heaven. Jesus came to usher in a new Kingdom, and our salvation carries more than going to heaven.
Part 2 of Walking in the fruits of the Spirit. We go even deeper in identifying the fruits of the spirit that we are suppose to bear as believers. The fruit will locate the vine. Jesus is our true vine.
Apostle Paul mentioned time and time again in his letters that he was fully persuaded; fully persuaded about the truth he knew. Jesus left us with the spirit of truth, the Holy Spirit who guides us into all truth. This truth we will know, will make us free, and assure us in God's promises for us. This way we aren't easily swayed into lies that entangle us back into the yoke of bondage.
Part 1 of Beware of deception. We go even deeper in identifying the fruits of the spirit that we are suppose to bear as believers. The fruit will locate the vine. Jesus is our true vine.
The Bible warns us not be deceived, so how will we identify deception?
When we became born again, our flesh was crucified with Christ, and we became empowered through the Holy Spirit to live in Christ. Living in the spirit is not impossible but it's made possible when we live life like Christ. Galatians 2:20 is the foundation message of this podcast, and we pray we all come to the knowledge of our born again spirit.
What āthings' are consuming your life right now? As citizens of the Kingdom of Heaven, we have one King/Lord. He wants to capture our full heart for His Lordship over us.
What teaching do you live by? There are so many "truth's' people live by, but as a believer, there is an absolute truth, sound teaching. The word of god is the absolute truth.
Thy kingdom come, Thy will be done! Is your heart ready to receive the kingdom of GOD which is already inside you. As a born again believer the Word should cause your heart to change as you follow Christ.
Physical death is inevitable, but spiritual life is eternal. Are you living like one who has eternal life?
Part 2...God has given us the ability to choose, so what we choose today will determine the direction we are headed.
God has given us the ability to choose, so what we choose today will determine the direction we are headed.
Often times we look at repentance as being sorrowful, but Jesus shows us that there is more to repentance than being remourseful. The Bible tells us to Repent, but do we really understand what happens when we change our mind, thoughts and actions?
When you pray, is it like you are making a wish to a genie or do you really believe God will? Lets see what the Bible says about us getting results when we pray.
Have you ever used these cliches?God works in mysterious ways!May not coming when you want him but he's on time.If it's his will for me!
Victory, Victory, Victory! Sometimes we might feel pressed on every side, but don't lose hope because if we are strong, we win.
We will all die one day, it is for certain. The blessing is that, death is not final for those who believe. Dying daily is actually part of a believers everyday life.
As we grow closer to Christ, we become more equipped with tools to handle this life, where will you finish in this race, will you endure to the end or quit before you get started?
What do you identify with? The color of your skin, your ethnicity, nationality, your career or do you identify with the one who created you?
It is very important for us to know the truth versus a lie. How can we identify Gods truth versus the enemy's lie. Once we know the truth, it makes us free.
When you hear worship, do you think of music? What is true worship, music only? Or is there more?
Do you know that Jesus died for your freedom? In Him there is true freedom, he wants to take away those things that tie you down so you can soar.
When we receive salvation, and inward transformation happens internally and our life begins to change as we follow Jesus Christ. What an exciting experience.
Are you quick to listen, and slow to speak? This wisdom will save us from stumbling as we follow Christ,
God is so close to His people. His promise is that He will never leave us nor forsake us. He wants to commune with you every minute of your existence. Join Him.
The Holy Spirit is our power source, tap into it, and learn and grow from him.
What's holding your life up? What's your house built upon, sand or a rock.
