God Getting Things Done Through You and Me

 

God Working In Us That We May Work

Rock-solid Eternal Spirituality Today (R.E.S.T.) occurs as we intentionally surrender to God daily, which allows God’s powerful grace to accomplish God’s will and work God’s way.

🤔 HOW 🤔

We Get Up!

We Give Up !
Romans 12: 1-2

We Put Off!
“The Deeds of Darkness” Romans 13:11-14

We Put On!
“The Armor of Light,” which God considers being “Clothed in Christ.” Romans 13:14

We Dress Up or Get Dressed.
We intentionally do so by practicing the Spiritual Practice of Ephesians 6:10-20.

What Does This Accomplish?

1. Makes us strong in the Lord and His mighty power. Ephesians 6:10

2. Gives us grace to overcome Satan’s trickery or his lies and deception.
    Ephesians 6:11

3. Focuses us on our real enemies and not jut mere humanity. Ephesians 6:12

4. Gives us the Supernatural Strength to stand no matter what happens and no matter what is thrown at us. Ephesians 6:13

5. Focuses us on walking in The Truth: Ephesians 6:14a; John 8:31-36; John 14:6; Galatians 5:1

6. Empowers us to walk in right way living … to be righteous, as well as reminds us how holy living is important to God and us. Hebrews 12:14; Ephesians 6:14b; Romans 3:20-25.

7. Empowers us to walk the walk as well as talk the talk. Ephesians 6:15; John 14:27; Isaiah 52:7

8. Unleashes Faith which empowers us to deflect all the firey lies and deception the evil one targets us with. Ephesians 6:16

9. Unleashes The Gift of Salvation we have and the power God gives to make us God’s handiwork. Ephesians 6:17a; Ephesians 2: 8-10.

10. Unleashes God’s Two Edged Sword or powerful Word, to impact, transform and guide our lives. Ephesians 6:17b; 2 Timothy 3:15-17 & Hebrews 4:12

God Does What God Does
🙏

Ephesians 6:18-20

Then God gets things done through “We the People” of The Global Church, via all these Spiritual Practices, and means of grace, mentioned above. He does so as we stay alert, pray in The Spirit, with all kinds of prayers, for God’s Holy People, especially we who are His Ambassadors. He makes things happen, when we pray for the people of God to be given the words to share the gospel fearlessly. 

OUR CHALLENGE IS CLEAR!

We are to get up each new day: We are to give up ourselves daily to the Lord. We are to put off the works of the flesh. We are to put on The Lord Jesus Christ by dressing up, and armoring up … or put on The Armor of God. Then, as we cooperate with God’s grace – in us – God will do what God only can do. He WILL Power Us Up!

God WILL Get Things Done!

So, as this Spiritual Warfare of these evil days rage, let us be overcomers, and let us win each day. 🙏 Let us automatically let go and let God be in control of our lives. Let us practice God’s Spiritual Practices. Let us live, as the people of God, by the grace of God for the Glory of God. Thanks be to God. Then God will do what God does. And He WILL work out everything according to THE PLAN, and He WILL bring everything into conformity with the purpose of His will. Ephesians 1:11.

May God Bless You Today!

Stepping Stones For Victorious Christ Centered Living #20 Shake A Little Salt

  The Challenge of Having An Unsavory Life. We live in a world where a whole lot of people are suffering:  Many struggle spiritually. Others,  because of their spiritual issue, have emotional struggles. Still others have relationships that are strained. Financial issues also may be added into the mix; additionally, physical challenges,  or health challenges, are a part of this. Mix a little high pace, and rarely slowing down in life, and you can see something is really going on impacting life in a negative way. In other words  all of these, plus any number of other things experienced in the 21st century, contribute to people experiencing unsavory lives. Jesus Speaking to You and M e Jesus has something to say about this. And He wants each of us to help out by, first beginning to embrace our identity. He wants us "become" so we match our identity, and if we don't, we really miss out and mess up.  Check out what He says, as He expressly tells us who we are. A...

Looking Back To Have A Future: Overcoming Storms

Stepping Stones For Victorious Christ Centered Living #1 Therefore, anyone who hears the words of mine-- and puts them into practice -- is like a wise man who built his house on a rock: The rain came down, the streams rose, the winds blew, and beat against the house; yet, it did not fall, because it had its foundation on THE ROCK! BUT Everyone who hears these words of mine, and does NOT put them into practice, is like a foolish man who built his house on sand: The rain came down, the streams rose, the winds blew, and beat against the house. And IT FELL WITH A GREAT CRASH! Jesus (Matthew 7:24-27 S T O R M S Storms seem to come into everyone's life. Some experience more, and others experience less; however, the winds of adversity do, indeed, come. Some even howl like a Category-5  hurricane that beats relentlessly on the shores of people's lives. Dear Christ Follower, some of you know precisely what I am saying. And I am here to tell you Jesus provides us with Stepping Stones fo...

2024 Let God Help Make Your Life Beautiful

Image
Ready or Not Here It Comes Leap year is upon us. Yep! We get to have one extra day on the calendar of 2024. And as the new year opens up before our very eyes, whatever we bring into this year -- good, bad, happy or sad -- will be a part of the fabric of this new year. For some of us this will be challenging. Why? Because some are really struggling with what is going on in our culture. Many are having to grapple with spiritual, emotional, relational, financial and/or physical struggles. And just because people are saying "HAPPY NEW YEAR" these challenges are still very real. So, how are we to get ready for this if the new year, in focus, appears anything but happy? But Remember -- God I have learned that when life meets us head on, it is important to think of all these challenges, but remember God:  As Christ Followers, you and I are not in this journey alone, and as the ancient wisdom of Ecclesiastes 3:11a teaches, "God makes ALL things beautiful in it's time." ...
