It Is God's Will That Jesus Left Something Behind For You

 


God's Will and Jesus Movement Towards The Cross

As Jesus moved deliberately towards the Cross, that was rising up awesomely on the horizon, He knew He would be leaving soon, and there is something He wanted to be sure He left behind for Christ Followers:  He wanted to leave us the ability to be able to maintain a steady course every step into the future. Yes, the gift He left is definitely God's will for us.  He knew there would be troubling times, and He knew that there were times when fear would try to wheedle its way in to the Christ Follower's journey, your journey and mine. So, it was God's will to leave P.E.A.C.E. behind for you and me to embrace in order to have the stuff to be enough.

How To Embrace This P.E.A.C.E. Gift

Now, as He offered, and still does offer this gift,  which is God's will for us to experience, it is clear that He would never force this P.E.A.C.E. on us. Like any other gift from God, we must choose to intentionally receive it daily. And I have learned how to receive this peace gift: I  do so  by living one day at a time.  I deliberately surrender whatever is robbing me of this beautiful balance God wants me to experience. I purposefully practice the practice of Praying Expecting Almighty  Controls Everything. I have learned to count on it:  When we open our hearts, and knowingly  pray -- to the God of peace -- for this peace as we, for example, pray sincerely The Serenity Prayer, and we let go and let God "take the wheel" of each of our lives, and as we trust for His will to be done,  then P.E.A.C.E will occur. Fear will evaporate. Anxiety will dissipate.

However, if we keep focusing on what is scaring us, rather on the one who wants to deliver us, we miss out on the huge blessing of this part of God's will for you and me. If we focus the locus of our focus on our problems, and our fear objects, rather than focus the locus of our focus on the God of peace, who offers peace, we will struggle.

Your Opened Heart

Therefore, take the peace challenge to day: Open your heart to the P.E.A.C.E. promise Jesus wants to give you, and do it today. Make yourself available to God's grace that will empower you to overcome your troubled heart and fear. Practice living one day at a time, as you turn away from what is "eating" you to practice Praying Expecting the Almighty Controls Everything and every part of your life.

You Will Be Glad You Did

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

  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!'
