R.E.S.T: Becoming

 Rock-solid Eternal Spirituality Today: BECOMING

Psalm 127:1 Amplified
Unless the Lord builds the house, anyone attempting to build it their way, in their strength, using only their mere human skill, is really wasting God’s, and their, time trying to build it. It won’t happen. If the Lord is not, Himself, guarding it, and protecting it, and people try to be the guards, they will fail miserably.

IN MY LIFE:

In my life, I have learned the importance of abiding in Christ, and He in me. Jesus describes this relationship, with Him, as being like a branch that is a part of a vine. The branch absolutely cannot be alive, nor can it produce fruit, apart from the vine. Therefore, Jesus strongly declares absolute truth: “Apart from me you can do NO-thing!”

Something to Consider

Consider this, in light of building a home, a life, a relationship, a family, a church, a nation or a culture: Based on the Jesus “Vineyard Principle” above, and the emphatic, and emperative, teaching of Psalm 127: 1, it’s no wonder there are so many broken homes, dysfunctional relationships, torn up families and dying churches, that simply won’t grow. It’s no wonder our nation is dying, and its foundations are crumbling. Finally, it’s not surprising our civilization is coming apart at the seams, where right is considered wrong, and wrong is considered right.

ONLY

Only through life, in Christ, and ONLY through cooperating with God’s plan, can we have life, be healthy/holy, and grow. Only as we surrender to God’s will, God’s Word and God’s way, as we allow HIM control, can we truly be full of life, bear His fruit and grow. Anything else results in selfishness, brokeness failure, corruption and death.

Think about it.

Think about it: God wants life for us! God wants holiness for us! God wants wholeness for us! God wants us to be fruitful! Yes! He really wants us to succeed! And He wants us to grow! His will can be done in us , if we let Him do the building, of us, and if we let Him build through us, as we surrender and “become,” according to His will and His way!

The Miracles of Grace

The miracles of grace, that produce eternal growing fruit, will occur IF we let go, and we let God be in control, as we abide, or remain, in Jesus and He in us. All the attempts at controlling things by developing plans, programs, and procedures, without taking up the Cross and following Him will never succeed.

Do You Want To “Become?”

Now You Know How To Begin?

Or do you want to keep doing the same dysfunctional thing, repeatedly and expect a different result. 🤔

God leaves the choice to you: He leaves, before you the ability to choose death or life. CHOOSE LIFE!

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

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!'
