It was sin that made our bodies mortal ... therefore do not yield obedience to such an enemy.
~Matthew Henry~
A child of God is a brand new person who is now submitted and governed by the Lordship of Jesus Christ. A true child of God cannot continue to practice sin because of the conviction of the Holy Spirit. There is no way they can feel comfortable and at ease with sin, once they have been set free from the power of sin (Romans 6)
We who have been born again by faith in the risen Lord Jesus can err when We can talk about the resurrection of Jesus, by behaving as though it were not an actual reality for Christian living. We can be mistaken, "not knowing the Scriptures nor the power of God."
“In every Christian’s heart there is a cross and a throne, and the Christian is on the throne till he puts himself on the cross; if he refuses the cross, he remains on the throne…We all want to be saved but we insist that Christ do all the dying.” — A.W. Tozer
When we learn from experience, the scars of sin can lead us to restoration and a renewed intimacy with God.
~Charles Stanley~
You should ignore your thoughts of inability; or
you should rejoice in your inability; knowing that
you are just the kind of regular believer God can,
and does, use.
Unless you are actively running from God, trust
that He has brought you where He wants you.
You should have the anticipation that, at any
moment, God can use you.
A life of faith involves hard work, courage, and discipline. ~Philip Nunn~
Wherever you are, be all there! Live to the hilt every situation you believe to be the will of God!”
~Jim Elliot~
"Two men look out the same prison bars; one sees mud and the other stars."
Frederick Langbridge
In her book Kingdom Calling, Amy Sherman points out that though we have the call to walk in these good works, we are utterly unable to do so apart from our total reliance on God. For when Christ, through the Holy Spirit, dwells in us, one commentary notes, “his gifts and graces are bestowed upon us, so we, too, bear fruits.”
So being united with Christ is not so much about being saved from something but being saved for something.
So often we can feel alone, isolated, and attacked. But our witness can be so much more effective when we team up and draw strength from one another as our testimony is supported.
Place your full confidence in God, and He will show you what great things He can do through your life!
Change comes through large unrest & everyday faithfulness.
We are not supposed to silence the foolish with our arguments, but by doing right. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
For this is the will of God, that by doing good you may put to silence the ignorance of foolish men—as free, yet not using liberty as a cloak for vice, but as bondservants of God. Honor all people. Love the brotherhood. Fear God. Honor the king. // (1 Peter 2:15-17)
if god impacts your house he can impact our city and if He impacts our city He will impact our county and if He impacts our county He will impact our state and if He impacts our state He will impact our country and if He impacts our country He will impact the world but the Lord work’s through you as you pray and move forward with grace and truth.
The cross before me the world behind me, no turning back no turning back
