The episode of “Strong Dads,” hosted by Merrill Hutchinson and Carl Andry, discusses the profound and multifaceted concept of grace, particularly within the context of Christian faith. The hosts share personal experiences and insights to illustrate how the understanding of grace can transform one's relationship with God and oneself. They emphasize that grace is what separates Christianity from other belief systems, challenging the prevalent works-based mentality.The Nature of Grace•Preconceived Notions: Carl begins by discussing the preconceived ideas that hinder an authentic understanding of grace. •Works vs. Grace: The hosts note that many Christians mistakenly believe they must earn God's favor through good deeds. Personal Experiences with Grace•Transformative Moments: Carl shares a pivotal moment when he realized the depth of God's grace, describing it as one of the best months of his life. •Church Dynamics: He conducted informal surveys within his church to gauge members' understanding of grace, discovering that many, like him, had misconceptions. Biblical Foundations of Grace•Law and Sin: The introduction of the law through Moses is discussed as a means to make humanity aware of sin. •Righteousness through Faith: They emphasize that righteousness comes from faith in Christ rather than adherence to the law. Contrasting Perspectives•Comparison and Judgment: The discussion touches on the human tendency to compare oneself to others, which breeds a toxic environment in churches and personal lives. •The Prodigal Son: They reflect on the parable of the Prodigal Son, highlighting the contrast between the grace extended to the wayward son and the resentment of the elder brother. Living in Grace•Doubt and Assurance: believers may struggle with doubts and feelings of unworthiness even after understanding grace. •The Role of Works: Carl argues that while works should naturally flow from a heart transformed by grace, they are not a means to earn salvation. Instead, good works become an expression of gratitude for what has already been received.Scriptures: Sin not imputed: 2Cor. 5:19, Romans 12-21, Romans 5:13-14Saved by faith and not by Law (works): Eph. 2:8-9, Romans 4:13-15, Heb. 8:7,Romans 5:6 Gal. 5:4Dead to the Law: Romans 7:1-11, Romans 6:14, Gal. 3:23-25 (*18,19,21) Christreleased man from bondage to the Law.Law condemned: Romans 3:19-20, 4:15, 5:20, 7:8, 7:21-25, 1Cor. 15:56, Gal. 3:10-13, Heb. 7:19, 10:1No condemnation for those under Christ: Romans 6:14 and 8:1-2Law made no man righteous: Gal. 2:16, 2:21, 3:11Law was a curse: Gal. 3:10-13We are made righteous through Christ: Acts 13:39, Romans 3:21-24, 10:4, Gal. 2:16The Law never applied to Gentiles: 1Cor. 9:21, Gal. 5:18, Eph. 1:12,15, 2:15, 1Tim.1:7-10Don't leave your first Love (grace): Gal. 3:1-5, 5:1, 5:4, 5:18Galatians 3:9-12 and 5:16-17, Romans 5:8-9, Romans 11:6, Romans 8:8-13, 2Cor5:19, Romans 14:23, 1Cor 15:56, 2Cor 3:6-9, 1John 4:18, Hebrews 7:16-19 and 8:7-13 and 10:35hhtps://rocksolidfamilies.orgSupport the show#Rocksolidfamilies,#familytherapy,#marriagecounseling,#parenting,#faithbasedcounseling,#counseling,#Strongdads,#coaching,#lifecoach,#lifecoaching,#marriagecoaching,#marriageandfamily,#control,#security,#respect,#affection,#love,#purpose,#faith,#mastersofdisaster,#storms,#disasterrelief,#tornados,#hurricanes,#floods

We are called to fight the good (victorious) Fight of the Faith (the Word of God) according to 1Timothy 6:12 and 2Tim 4:6. Derek describes the nature of this fight and the keys to successful spiritual warfare. The fight is to stand on and stay true to God's Word, in faith and practice, against all opposition, deception and wiles of the enemy. It is the fight to stay in the faith, to continue to trust God and His Word. The strategy of the enemy is to try to get you off God's Word. Then you lose. We fight it with God's Word, by standing, speaking and doing His Word. (1) Our posture in the fight is to stand on His Word (Eph 6:11-14), which means standing on the finished work of Christ, who has already won the victory over every enemy (Col 2:15, Matt 28:18, Eph 1:19-21, Phil 2:9-11, 1Pet 3:22), and has shared the victory with us in His Name (Eph 2:4-6). So, in Christ we are overcomers (1John 2:13-14, 4:4, 5:4-5), more than conquerors (Rom 8:37) in the Name of Jesus (on the basis of His victory, power and authority). As we stand in faith we are automatically in the victory. (2) We must reject pride, and submit to God and resist the enemy (Jam 4:6-7, 1Pet 5:5-9, Job 41:34), by exercising our will in making a quality decision to trust in and stand firm on His Word and not be moved, no matter what happens, enforcing this by confessing the good (victorious) confession of His Word, just as a wrestler does everything in his power to stay on his feet (Eph 6:12, 1Tim 6:12, Isa 54:17, Rev 12:11), (3) As we do this, we must depend on and lay hold of the power of the Holy Spirit (God's eternal life that He gives us by grace - John 3:16, 1John 5:11-12), which is continually available to us by grace (Eph 1:19, 3:20, 5:18, 6:10, 1Tim 6:12). This is necessary, if we are to stand, because we wrestle against principalities and powers (Eph 6:12). Therefore our role in the battle is to submit to God and stand on His Word and resist the devil, standing in the victory of Christ, trusting in His Name, and depending on the power of His Spirit to strengthen our heart (will).

One of the great things about the Christian faith is how even simple, physical activities - like eating - have spiritual significance and can be done to the glory of God. But our habits at the table sometimes reveal sins that we often overlook. Let's take a brief, honest assessment and evaluate whether we are allowing the gospel to meet our dinner plates.

Text: Prov 20:1 ESV1 Wine is a mocker, strong drink a brawler, and whoever is led astray by it is not wise.-Prov 20:1 ESVWINE AND WISDOMThis Hebrew term for ‘wine' refers to alcohol derived from grapes, as well as stronger drinks made from grains and other fruits. The risk of addiction, loss of self-control, and other dangers are why those who overuse alcohol are unwise. This may imply that a person engaging in drunkenness will not "become wise. His life will be ruined by drinking. It is personified as a ‘mocker' and a ‘brawler'. Scripture does not forbid the drinking of alcohol. But, drunkenness is a sin. Paul says, “ And do not get drunk with wine, for that is debauchery, but be filled with the Spirit.”(Eph 5:18) He added, “Let us walk properly as in the daytime, not in orgies and drunkenness, not in sexual immorality and sensuality, not in quarreling and jealousy.(Rom 13:13). Drunkenness could lead to other egregious sins. Numerous examples from the Bible show what happens when a person loses self-control due to alcohol. Two examples are Noah (Gen 9:21) and Lot. (Gen 19:33). In the New Testament, the apostle Paul endorsed the use of wine for medicinal purposes. He told the sick Timothy, "No longer drink only water, but use a little wine for the sake of your stomach and your frequent ailments" (1Tim 5:23). The book of Proverbs is replete with warnings against the abuse of the use of wine, to wit;20 Be not among drunkards or among gluttonous eaters of meat,21 for the drunkard and the glutton will come to poverty, and slumber will clothe them with rags.[Proverbs 23:20–21] 29 Who has woe? Who has sorrow? Who has strife? Who has complaining? Who has wounds without cause? Who has redness of eyes?30 Those who tarry long over wine; those who go to try mixed wine.31 Do not look at wine when it is red, when it sparkles in the cup and goes down smoothly.32 In the end it bites like a serpent and stings like an adder.33 Your eyes will see strange things, and your heart utter perverse things.34 You will be like one who lies down in the midst of the sea, like one who lies on the top of a mast.35 “They struck me,” you will say, “but I was not hurt; they beat me, but I did not feel it. When shall I awake? I must have another drink.[Prov 21:29–35]4 It is not for kings, O Lemuel, it is not for kings to drink wine, or for rulers to take strong drink,5 lest they drink and forget what has been decreed and pervert the rights of all the afflicted.[Prov 31:4–5]There is a great probability that a persistent drunkard is not saved. Paul says, “ ..nor thieves, nor the greedy, nor drunkards, nor revilers, nor swindlers will inherit the kingdom of God.”[1 Cor 6:10] He even warns us not to associate with a drunkard.[1 Cor 5:11]. The wisest thing to do is not to allow alcohol to control us, instead the Spirit.[Eph 5:18]-------------------------Visit and FOLLOW Gospel Light Filipino on YouTube, Facebook and Instagram

It's easy for us to pick up the wrong messaging about sex. That's why we need Scripture to fix our mistaken thinking about sex and wash our defiled views. Building on episode 177, Helen and Mike bring our sexual detox series to a close, tackling commonplace distortions in the culture ("It doesn't matter who I sleep with") and in the church ("Sexual sin is the worst; there's no hope for you if you've fallen"). Is sex just a base animal instinct, or is it a sacred mystery about the meaning of the universe? Tune in to find out! A downloadable summary sheet is available here.

Brief teaching on what it means to be a student (disciple) in order to be effective at understanding and being a teacher (leader) for the LORD.  Supporting scriptures: 1Tim 3:1-2; Matt 28:19; Matt 5:1; Is 8:16

1 Timothy 3:1-7

“If you point these things out to the brothers and sisters, you will be a good minister of Christ Jesus, nourished on the truths of the faith and of the good teaching that you have followed. Have nothing to do with godless myths and old wives' TALES; rather, TRAIN yourself to be godly.” 1Tim.4.6-7

Psalm 16 is an important Messianic Psalm, quoted by Peter & Paul to prove Jesus is the promised Messiah. Peter quoted Ps16:8-11 in Acts 2:25-28 and expounded it in Acts 2:22-33, as a central part of his sermon. It speaks of a Man who dies and His soul goes to Sheol, but is resurrected before His body sees corruption (within 3 days). Also, He is then exalted to God's right hand (v9-11). He points out the Psalmist, David, died and is still in his tomb (his body saw corruption). Thus, it was not fulfilled by David, but rather he spoke by the Spirit of Prophecy about Christ, the Son of David, that He'd be resurrected before his body saw corruption (v29-31). He then said Jesus fulfilled this Prophecy by His 3rd day resurrection, proving He is the Christ (v32,36). He also pointed out Jesus was exalted to God's right hand, fulfilling Ps 16:11 & 110:1, as confirmed by the Outpouring of the Spirit (Acts 2:33-35). Likewise, Paul in Acts 13:35 quoted Ps 16:10 and expounded it in Acts 13:36-39 to prove Jesus is the Christ. Thus though we can read much of Ps 16 as David's words of trust in God for preservation & provision in this life and hope for his eternal life in God's Presence, the words only find ultimate fulfilment in Christ. So, we should read them as Christ's words, given by prophecy, as He approached death, expressing His faith in God to resurrect Him. Although God, He had to live as a man totally depending on God for everything, including His resurrection: "Preserve me, O God, for in You I put my trust...You are my Lord, My goodness is nothing apart from You (or 'every good thing comes from You')” (v1-2). He's our perfect example of how to live by faith. He describes the saints (those who trust in Him) as the excellent (noble) ones, in whom is all His delight (v3). This shows Christ had us on His heart & mind as He went to the Cross. We are precious in His sight, and so gave Himself for us, so we might be His forever: "for the joy (us, His Bride) set before Him, He endured the Cross" (Hebrews 12:2). As our example, He reveals a key part of living by faith - the rejection of all other gods & idolatry (v4), including covetousness (Col 3:5), for men turn from a pure devotion to the true God and hasten after (seek) other gods is to possess what they offer (prosperity). But the more they multiply their gods & idols the more their sorrows multiply (v4). A classic example is Man's Fall. God provided abundantly, and would have given them more, as they proved themselves faithful, but listening to Satan made them dissatisfied with His Presence and their allotted inheritance, so they became covetous to gain more, and so rejected His authority, claiming autonomy as their own gods, and went their own way, but soon found they gained nothing, but rather lost His Blessing, and their sorrows multiplied. The truth is if we seek 1st the Kingdom (reign) of God over our life and live by His righteous Spirit in our heart, all things will be added to us (Matt 6:33). Thus, we need to learn to be satisfied (content) with God Himself (His Presence in our heart), and with whatever inheritance of possessions & experiences He chooses to give us (as a bonus), both now, in the future and in eternity (Rev 21:7, Phil 4:11-13, 1Tim 6:6). This is exactly what David & Christ declare: "O Lord, YOU are the PORTION of my INHERITANCE and my CUP (what God appoints for me to experience); You maintain my LOT (if we trust Him, He will guard our eternal inheritance, so none can steal it). The (boundary) lines have fallen to me in pleasant places. Yes, I have a GOOD INHERITANCE" (v5-6). God is generous (good), giving us much more than we deserve, so we can submit to Him and trust Him day by day for His Presence & gracious provisions, rather than turning from Him in striving & lust to grasp what He's not giving us at this time. In this manner, He declares: "I have set the Lord (not things or experiences) always before Me... I shall not be moved" (v8). As a result, He has assurance God will guide & preserve Him by His Presence on the path of life, thru this life, then thru death & resurrection and exaltation to God's right hand in Heaven, where He'll give Him fullness of joy in His Presence & pleasures (experiences) for all eternity: "You will show me the path of life. In Your Presence is fullness of joy; at Your right hand are pleasures forevermore" (v11). These verses also apply to us, for we are "heirs of God & joint heirs with Christ" (Rom 8:17). He's our example to follow, that we should trust in God and be satisfied with His Presence in our hearts, and the possessions, gifts, opportunities, positions, blessings & experiences He gives us in this life, knowing He's prepared a wonderful eternal future and inheritance for us, way beyond our present experience & imagination (1Cor 2:9, Eph 2:7), where we'll be exalted and experience fullness of joy in His Presence.

He's our perfect example of how to live by faith. He describes the saints (those who trust in Him) as the excellent (noble) ones, in whom is all His delight (v3). This shows Christ had us on His heart & mind as He went to the Cross. We are precious in His sight, and so gave Himself for us, so we might be His forever: "for the joy (us, His Bride) set before Him, He endured the Cross" (Hebrews 12:2). As our example, He reveals a key part of living by faith - the rejection of all other gods & idolatry (v4), including covetousness (Col 3:5), for men turn from a pure devotion to the true God and hasten after (seek) other gods is to possess what they offer (prosperity). But the more they multiply their gods & idols the more their sorrows multiply (v4). A classic example is Man's Fall. God provided abundantly, and would have given them more, as they proved themselves faithful, but listening to Satan made them dissatisfied with His Presence and their allotted inheritance, so they became covetous to gain more, and so rejected His authority, claiming autonomy as their own gods, and went their own way, but soon found they gained nothing, but rather lost His Blessing, and their sorrows multiplied. The truth is if we seek 1st the Kingdom (reign) of God over our life and live by His righteous Spirit in our heart, all things will be added to us (Matt 6:33). Thus, we need to learn to be satisfied (content) with God Himself (His Presence in our heart), and with whatever inheritance of possessions & experiences He chooses to give us (as a bonus), both now, in the future and in eternity (Rev 21:7, Phil 4:11-13, 1Tim 6:6). This is exactly what David & Christ declare: "O Lord, YOU are the PORTION of my INHERITANCE and my CUP (what God appoints for me to experience); You maintain my LOT (if we trust Him, He will guard our eternal inheritance, so none can steal it). The (boundary) lines have fallen to me in pleasant places. Yes, I have a GOOD INHERITANCE" (v5-6). God is generous (good), giving us much more than we deserve, so we can submit to Him and trust Him day by day for His Presence & gracious provisions, rather than turning from Him in striving & lust to grasp what He's not giving us at this time. In this manner, He declares: "I have set the Lord (not things or experiences) always before Me... I shall not be moved" (v8). As a result, He has assurance God will guide & preserve Him by His Presence on the path of life, thru this life, then thru death & resurrection and exaltation to God's right hand in Heaven, where He'll give Him fullness of joy in His Presence & pleasures (experiences) for all eternity: "You will show me the path of life. In Your Presence is fullness of joy; at Your right hand are pleasures forevermore" (v11). These verses also apply to us, for we are "heirs of God & joint heirs with Christ" (Rom 8:17). He's our example to follow, that we should trust in God and be satisfied with His Presence in our hearts, and the possessions, gifts, opportunities, positions, blessings & experiences He gives us in this life, knowing He's prepared a wonderful eternal future and inheritance for us, way beyond our present experience & imagination (1Cor 2:9, Eph 2:7), where we'll be exalted and experience fullness of joy in His Presence.

Lk 2:51 Cherished and committed to memory   Acts 1:14 devoted to prayer with the disciples after his ascension   Three things to consider when submitting to His Lordship – it is so much more than just baptism. There is a burden, a benefit, and a bargain The Burden The burden of Biblical submission – arranging yourself under another's authority is very difficult for most to do. We cannot be our own boss and submit. Matt 16:24 deny self and “take up your cross” death to self Your life is no longer your own You agree your wants and desires ambitions priorities DON'T MATTER Matt 6:33 there will be sacrifices – going where you want, movies, books, language/conversions, you body (alc, drugs, gluttony, casual sex), clothing 1Tim 2:9 1Cor 6:19-20 We have to care more for our and the souls of others You might be an outcast in life (work, school) You can't retaliate when provoked (i.e. traffic) Matt 5:39 Submission is a lifelong endeavor of small as well as big sacrifices; you might have to separate from loved ones/relationships that are not scriptural Titus 2 we are expected to teach Heb 10:25 faithful attendance 2Tim 2:15 study on your won Give back to God $$ and NOT your leftovers or 2nds Mal 1:10 failure to actually worship You should “feel” a sacrifice (is it real if you don't feel it) Eph 5:22 even if his idea stinks he has the final word Submit to the eldership The Benefit 1 John 5:11 eternal life 2 Thess 1:8=9 spared Be in God's presence Sing praises God will see you Reunions with family If promise of Heaven were the only benefit it would be worth the burden You will never be alone/feel alone – you have Christ No heartache, no tears in Heaven Phil 4:7 (here) Blessed with a new family in the church Identity and purpose Matt 20:19-20  Ecc 12:13 Col 3:4 He isn't just an important part of your life; He IS your life You have a purpose and a job John 5:28-29 you know what will happen Greater quality of life; God knows what is best, his rules benefit and protect us Bargain If we agree to and abide by the “burdens” mentioned it still wouldn't be enough. The “bargain” is that Jesus paid our debt for us. Jesse chose debt so we can have the “option” to submit and choose to do so. WE have the choice to accept the great bargain, the great deal that Jesus has to offer us.   Video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ugJY9PNHx7w   Duration 38:08

We can't follow Jesus in our own strength. We must depend on His Spirit to live the life of a true disciple. The key to surrender is embracing the truth we are slaves ('doulos') of Christ, translated servant (Rom 1:1, Phil 1:1, Titus 1:1, Jas 1:1 2Pet 1:1, Jude 1:1, Rev 1:1). A slave is owned by his master, owning nothing himself, but a servant still owns himself and things. We are owned by Christ, purchased with His Blood (1Cor 7:22-23), so every blessing and gift we receive does not belong to us, but God. We thank God for His blessing (acknowledge Him as our Source) and trust Him for His continual supply (for He is faithful), and surrender (release control of) it back to Him as Owner, in worship. This qualifies us to receive and possess more blessing. We belong to God, so our whole life needs to be surrendered to Him. Then we can abide in Him and continually access His grace, as we cling to Him. When we embrace the fact we belong to Christ, surrendering to His Spirit is natural, but if we hold on to our own life (self-ownership), it's hard to surrender, so we only do it when necessary. The degree we embrace His right of ownership is the degree we can submit to His leadership, which then determines the degree we can possess His blessing. Only when we embrace His ownership can we surrender our beings fully to Him, for Him to possess us, and only then can we fully possess Him and all He wants to give us. Embracing His ownership and surrendering to His control frees us from covetousness (trying to own, control and hold on to things), which disconnects us from grace, and disqualifies us from possessing His blessing. He made us in His image with capacity to receive and express power, wisdom, dominion and glory, so we desire them, but if we covet them, it blocks His power in us. Jesus said: “If anyone desires to come after Me, let him deny himself (self-ownership), and take up his cross, and follow Me. For whoever desires to save (hold onto) his life (soul) will lose it, but whoever loses his life (independent soul-life) for My sake will find (discover) it (real life)” (Matt 16:24-25). The key to a higher life in God is to accept we are His slaves, owned by Him. Then surrender is easier. Our ownership by God relates to the Holy Spirit and sanctification, for when we accept Christ and His Blood, we belong to God, and He puts His Spirit inside us, as the seal and sign of God's ownership (Rom 8:9). The more of our soul, body and life we surrender to God, the more we allow His Spirit to possess, fill and control us, the greater His Presence in us (our holiness), setting us free from sin. “In Christ, having believed, you were sealed with the Holy Spirit of promise, the guarantee (down payment) of our inheritance (the fullness of God - full payment), until the redemption of the purchased possession (when He gives Himself fully to us and takes full possession of us), so that we will be to the praise of His glory” (Eph 1:13-14, 2Cor 1:21-22). When He returns, His Spirit will take full possession of our soul and body, resurrecting, perfecting and glorifying us. The more we allow His Spirit to fill and take possession of us, the more we experience His grace. Only when we're poor (owning nothing, owned by God), are we rich, possessing all things He has for us (Matt 5:3, Luke 6:20). Embracing belonging to God, yielding final control to Him, trusting His love to guide and provide for us, sets us free from carrying the burden and stress of managing our life, as if all depends on us. It lets the Spirit flow in us and lead us. He takes the burden and carries us, once we let go of trying to control it all. If we don't trust in God, we become insecure and anxious, and so cling to things, which we value, to try and secure ourselves, but they are idols, as we value them more than God. He says: “Let go of them. They're too important to you. Cling to Me and surrender all things, worries and burdens to Me, and My Spirit will carry you and give you all you need.” He controls and guides our life, if we surrender to Him. This is the key to walk in the Spirit, experiencing His fullness. He wants us to have all things to enjoy (1Tim 6:17), but we cut ourselves off from His life, when we act as our own owner, trying to own and control the blessing. Embrace the truth you belong to God, own nothing and will always depend on Him for His continual supply of grace. Then you're qualified to possess the fullness of His blessing. This is in Psalm 23. In Psalm 22, He lays down His life for His sheep, purchasing them with His Blood (John 10:11). Then in Psalm 23, risen again, He leads His OWN sheep into fullness of life (10:2-4,10). Experiencing fullness (“I shall not want”) is predicated on “The Lord is my Shepherd.” So, to be blessed, we must submit to His leadership. Once a sheep knows he's owned by (belongs to) the Shepherd, then following (obeying) Him is natural. He stays close and follows Him, so He can lead him into fullness.

1 Timothy 3:8-13 - Speaker: Lukus Counterman - Paul wrote the letter of 1Timothy so that people in the church of Ephesus would “know how one ought to behave in the household of God, which is the church of the living God” (1Tim. 3:15). He wanted to see health and order in the congregation. So, part of the get-well plan for the church was appointing qualified elders and deacons. Though the first part of 1Tim. 3 discusses eldership, the second half of the chapter deals with deacons. The Bible explains that deacons are needed in the church to provide logistical and material support so that the elders can concentrate their efforts on the Word of God and prayer. Deacons are not responsible to teach or spiritually lead the congregation, but instead provide oversight in the service-oriented functions of the church so that needs are cared for and the gospel can spread. So, may the Lord help us have deacons who meet the biblical requirements, fulfill their service responsibilities, and then experience the blessed results that are promised.

“Your body is the Temple of the Holy Spirit, who is in you, whom you have from God, and you are NOT your OWN? For you were BOUGHT at a PRICE (the Blood of Christ); therefore, glorify God in your body and in your spirit, which are God's (property)” (1Cor 6:19-20). We are OWNED by God. So, we are SLAVES of Christ, not just His servants. We belong to Christ, which means all we are and have belongs to Him. Therefore, He has the right to define who we are, and make us into who we are meant to be. His ownership is based on the fact He is our (1) Creator and (2) Redeemer. The Spirit within us is God's seal, signifying we belong to Him (2Cor 1:22, Eph 1:13, 4:30). He is the HOLY Spirit, which means He sets us apart to God, by His indwelling Presence. The more we surrender to Him, the greater the Presence of His Spirit within us. He manifests His ownership by possessing us with His Spirit, who sets us apart to God, and the more we are sanctified, the more we are free from sin. There is a paradox that (1) we are OWNED by God (so we own nothing), but (2) POSSESS all things in Christ, as He is a God of grace, who freely and richly gives us all things to enjoy (1Tim 6:17). The key to solving this paradox is understanding the difference between OWNERSHIP and POSSESSION, for we can possess a thing, without owning it (2Cor 6:10). So, we are (1) POOR, but also (2) RICH. If we are poor (knowing we own nothing), then we are rich through God's blessing, which is free to flow in our life, enabling us to possess all things. If we embrace the truth that we own nothing, as God owns us, then we qualify to receive every blessing (Matthew 5:3, Luke 6:20). I am (1) WEAK in myself, because I do not own my own strength, but I am (2) STRONG in the Lord, for I possess strength by His grace (2Cor 12:10, Joel 3:10). God gave Israel the Promised Land to possess and enjoy by faith. This is a picture of the land of blessings that God has for us. He promises us many good things, that He wants us to possess. But He keeps the ownership of the land. Israel possessed it, but did not own it. He gave them the right of possession as tenant possessors. Israel forgot God was the Owner, took His blessing for granted, and acted independently, as if they were the owners. Likewise, it is a sin to try and own (covet) what God gives us. In Deuteronomy 8, God warned them against pride - forgetting God was their Source of all their blessing, which they only possessed by His grace (v17-18). Because of their idolatry, they were unable to possess and enjoy their land. They disqualified themselves by rejecting His ownership and acting independently from God, as they wanted. Likewise, when we think we are the owners of the things of life, we cut ourselves off from God's blessing. The essence of sin is claiming ownership of and for ourselves, so we can be in control. We do not want to be God's slaves, owned by Him, so He has final control over our lives. We must accept that our life with God is governed by the truth He is our owner and the owner of all things we possess. Thus, we must depend continually on His grace, life and provision. What God gives to us in His grace, is not ours in the sense we now own it, so we can be independent from God. He wants us to possess and enjoy all things, but will not allow us to own them, for He wants us to stay dependent on Him (live by faith). If we try to own them, we block His blessing in our life, by the sin of covetousness. Adonai means absolute Master and Owner. He does not just own the blessings of grace, but also us. We are slaves, owning nothing, but we have a gracious Lord. When embrace this truth (we are poor), then we are blessed, for His blessing can now be fully released in our life, enabling us to possess and enjoy all things in His Kingdom (Luke 6:20). Covetousness limits how much God can bless us. To experience fullness of life, we must surrender to God's ownership of us, His blessing (grace) and blessings (gifts of grace). This is the fundamental principle of being a creature (1st Beatitude) - although He gives us all things to enjoy, we are not their owner, but must continually depend on God for them. To possess His promises, we must surrender ownership, not just of the blessing, but of ourselves to God. We are just the steward (manager) of His blessings. We must trust God, moment by moment, for His grace. As soon as we try and take control, the supply (flow) of grace diminishes. Understanding God as the Owner of all things, including us, changes our whole attitude towards His grace and the blessings of life, making us depend on Him and thank Him. The nature of the flesh is to be discontent with His provision. It wants ownership and independence from God, and tries to take control. Thus, we want the right to define ourselves and control our lives, rather than trusting our Creator and embracing His will for us. God wants us to possess every blessing, but to do this, we must yield all ownership to God.
