The Lord did come!

 “Behold, the Lord God shall come with a strong hand, And His arm shall rule for Him; Behold, His reward is with Him, And His work before Him. He will feed His flock like a shepherd; He will gather the lambs with His arm, And carry them in His bosom, And gently lead those who are with young.”

‭‭Isaiah‬ ‭40‬:‭10‬-‭11‬ ‭

Jesus did come with power! He is Lord of Lords and King of Kings. He brought reward….Himself! His work was before Him…the cross. He fed the flock with HisWord and compassion and love. He will gather those who call upon Him in true faith and lead them home!!! What a great Word!!!

Purpose of the law

 Watchman Nee:

“No, the Law was not given in the expectation that we would keep it. It was given in the full knowledge that we would break it; and when we have broken it so completely that we are convinced of our utter need, then the Law has served its purpose. It has been our schoolmaster to bring us to Christ, that He Himself may fulfill it in us (Gal. 3:24).”

“Therefore the law was our tutor to bring us to Christ, that we might be justified by faith.”

‭‭Galatians‬ ‭3‬:‭24‬ ‭

The law shows us we are sinners and when we put our faith in Jesus we are set free!!! Thank you Jesus!

God in you!

 From Watchman Nee’s book “The Normal Christian Life”.

Do you realize what happened at your conversion? God came into your heart and made it His temple. In Old Testament days God dwelt in a temple made of stone; today He dwells in a temple composed of living believers. When we really see that God has made our hearts His dwelling place, what a deep reverence will come over our lives! All lightness, all frivolity will end, and all self-pleasing too, when we know that we are the temple of God and that the Spirit of God dwells within us. Has it really come to you that wherever you go you carry with you the Holy Spirit of God? You do not just carry your Bible with you, or even much good teaching about God, but God Himself.

The reason why many Christians do not experience the power of the Spirit, though He actually dwells in their hearts, is that they lack reverence. And they lack reverence because they have not had their eyes opened to the fact of His presence. The fact is there, but they have not seen it. Why is it that some Christians are living victorious lives while others live in a state of constant defeat? The difference is not accounted for by the presence or absence of the Spirit (for He dwells in the heart of every child of God) but by this, that some recognize His indwelling and others do not. True revelation of the fact of the Spirit's indwelling will revolutionize the life of any Christian.


God lives in you!!! Are you living like it?

Speak it!

 “So then faith comes by hearing, and hearing by the word of God.”

‭‭Romans‬ ‭10‬:‭17‬ 

Speak the Word of God to others! They must hear the gospel to put their faith in Jesus and it is our job to tell them!!! Let’s get busy!!

Others?

 Let each of you look out not only for his own interests, but also for the interests of others.

Philippians 2:4

God’s Word tells us not to just look out for ourselves! We are also to help others. So may we all ask ourselves this morning….am I looking out for others or just worried about myself?

 Trust in the LORD always, for the LORD GOD is the eternal Rock. - Isaiah 26:4 

The  only place to put your trust is the Lord! He is the Rock for eternity! May we never question it or forget it!

Sharpen

 As iron sharpens iron, so a friend sharpens a friend. - Proverbs 27:17 

Be that friend who sharpens another friend in the things of God. We need that more than ever in our day to day walk!!

Never alone

 Teaching them to observe all things whatsoever I have commanded you: and, lo, I am with you alway, even unto the end of the world. Amen


~Matthew 28:20

I seen this and it was a good reminder….when you walk with the Lord you are never alone! Thank you Jesus for always being with us!

Love and patience

 Now may the Lord direct your hearts into the love of God and into the patience of Christ.

2 Thessalonians 3:5

If you are like me I am thankful God is will to direct us to be loving and patient by the power of the Holy Spirit for I am needy!!! May we be like Jesus in both areas!!

Alive and dead

 “Likewise you also, reckon yourselves to be dead indeed to sin, but alive to God in Christ Jesus our Lord.”

‭‭Romans‬ ‭6‬:‭11‬ ‭

So here is the life we are to live as followers of Jesus. We are alive because we are in Christ. He died on the cross for our sins and then resurrected defeating death and sin. Thus now we are dead to sin. Jesus took care of sin once and for all!!! Praise the Lord! You are the victor in Christ!!! What a verse!!
