ADVENT: Thinking About The Reasons For Jesus Seasons

ADVENT:
  Reason For Jesus Seasons Two

        As I think about these reasons for Jesus having come, coming into lives and His coming again,  I start remembering what happens when our lives have their first Divine intersections with Christ. Our personal advent (personal coming of Christ into our lives) results in us becoming intimate with Him through faith. And this causes a miracle to occur:  Paul says, "If anyone is in Christ he is a new creation.  The old has gone and the new has come." (See 2 Corinthians 5:17.) All the brokenness and sin that dominated our lives was healed, and it is being daily healed.  He actually works the miracle of supernatural spiritual life transformation, as we place our faith in Jesus who is the Christ. We no longer have to be victims of our past.  We no longer have to suffer for what others did to us. We have God's grace to overcome our victimization.  We can now be victors. We no longer have to suffer for our sins committed.  We become forgiven, and we get a clean record. 

  But more than that has and is occurring:  You may have never experienced anything but a great childhood, and all this stuff about victimization means nothing to you.  I had a fairly good childhood. It certainly had it's challenges, but it was an okay young life.  So I can really grasp having some sense of normalcy growing up. This begs the question.  What does this mean to people who had a relatively healthy upbringing with little or no trauma?  Here is the "Good News!"As new creations, we are given Divine, Holy Spirit power, to be godly! We have the power to be slaves to God rather than slaves to sin! We have the power to live life and not just muddle through life's challenges! Yup! WE ARE NEW CREATIONS!  God actually makes us NEW CREATIONS!  We are no longer sinners, but we are God's holy people. Some Bible translations call us Saints.   We may sin, but we do not have to sin. We may have been broken by life.  BUT we do not have to presently BE broken.  We can be over comers one step at a time, one day at a time as we "deny ourselves, take up our Crosses and follow Him," even Jesus, who has COME into our lives.

American & "Pride"

Image
 THE MEGA PROBLEM OF "PRIDE" Our country, and especially our leaders, have stolen a God Covenant Symbol-- THE RAINBOW-- which declares God's judgment for unholy living will never be accomplished through flood waters; however,  this doesn't mean God will NOT judge a nation,  or planet that is sin filled and full of pride.  We are living in a time that Jesus describes, in the Bible,  as "The Days of Noah." He prophesied of our day being like the generation that caused God to regret HE had ever made human beings.  Why? The answer is simple: HE had this regret because of "PRIDE." How 🤔 is pride demonstrated? 1. Pride shows itself when people worship the creature rather than THE Creator. 2 . Pride is exemplified when people become the idols, and mere human pseudo truth & rules for life are contrary to Almighty God's Law, which human beings use to govern life. 3. Pride is seen in our irreverence for God's name via the confession of our mouth

We Can Be So Much More.

Image
   We Can Be So Much More:  Let us learn about the powerful identity God the Father gives us, through our being IN Christ Jesus by the power of The Holy Spirit. Let us embrace our God given Eternal Inheritance.  ( Ephesians 1:3-14)  Let us get up, each morning and give ourselves up to God. (Romans 12:1-2.)  Let us wake up! And practice Gods practice of putting off the deeds of darkness, of being empowered to behave decently, like people who live in the day time. (Romans 13:11-14) Let us cloth our selves, in Jesus, by putting on the full armor of God each day! This will make us strong in the Lord and in His mighty power, and it will give us all we need to stand against the Devil's schemes. (Ephesians 6:10-20) Let us submit to God, and resist the Devil so he will have to flee from us. (James 4:7) Learn all we can about the enemy and know he has no authority over us. But in Christ we have God's resurrection power flowing in us and through us. In Jesus Name 🙏  SoJourner

W A T C H O U T ! ! ! JESUS TEACHING ON LEADERS

Image
  Jesus Rock Solid Teaching Regarding Picking Leaders Matthew 7:15-23      "Watch out for false prophets! They come to you in sheep's clothing, but inwardly they are ferocious wolves!  By their fruits you shall recognize them!  Do people pick grapes from thorn bushes or figs from thistles? Likewise, every good tree bears good fruit, and every bad tree bears bad fruit. A good tree cannot bear bad fruit, and a bad tree cannot bear good fruit. Every tree that does NOT bear good fruit is cut down and thrown into the fire. Thus by their fruit you will recognize them. Not everyone who says to me 'Lord, Lord' will enter the Kingdom of Heaven, but ONLY those who do the will of my Father in Heaven. Many will say to me on the day they give account of their lives, 'Lord, Lord' did we not prophesy in your name, and in you name drive out demons, and in your name perform many miracles?  Then I will tell them plainly, ' I never knew you! Away from me, you evil doers!'
