Seeking A Sign: A Freedom In Christ Thought

 You shall keep the commandments of the Lord your God, 
to walk in His ways and to revere Him.
Deuteronomy 8:6

Occasionally, we ask God, "Hey Lord! Will you do me a favor? Will you give me a sign? And He does so, graciously, from time to time; however, it seems to me that it's far better to prove ourselves to God Almighty rather than to push Him for the reverse to happen. 

Think about this: We are the ones who will give account for our lives. (Romans 14:12)  We are the ones He has saved from bondage to sin and death. ( John 8:31-36) We are the ones He makes into new creations, causes all the old things to go away, and He is the one who transforms us to be in Jesus image.  (2 Corinthians 5:17-21) He does so because of the work of the Christ, on the Cross, and because of the Eternal Covenant He has made. This is The Eternal Covenant by which He redeems us or forgives all our sins, makes us holy, perfects us in His sight and transforms us -- writes His laws on our hearts and places them in our minds, as He gives us access to The Holiest Place in the Heavenly dimension. (Hebrews 9:12; 10:10-24) He actually frees us to be able to keep the laws we are told to keep in our scripture lesson at the top of this  web blog.

Therefore, to really walk in the freedom God gives us, through Jesus, we would do well to follow the teachings of the Apostle Paul, regarding these matters, who said, "Be diligent to present yourself approved to God as a worker who does not need to be ashamed, handling accurately the word of truth." (2 Timothy 2:15)

Yes, it is indeed, if we truly want to be free in Christ, it is vital we don't insist God proves Himself to us, but that we, by the grace of God, determine we will daily surrender our lives to God's goodness, grace, Spirit led guidance and God's  love. Then the smart thing to do would be for us to set our wills to daily prove ourselves to God.

This is a great way to truly live! It is a freedom way to live!

God Bless You!

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.

   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

  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!'
