Right from the beginning of church history, God wanted His church to be full of the Holy Spirit. Without the Spirit we would not succeed in the Great Commission. Man will produce everything else. Indeed we would be like a good car without fuel in the tank.
Christ followers must strive with all their hearts to have a closer walk with God. No matter what problems may arise, He is the answer. He is the Life -giver and Healer to all who diligently seek Him. He desires to bless us and provide for us in every possible area of our existence, while at the same time, protecting us against all the schemes of the devil.
Firstly, we are to deal with the habitual sin factor
Be undistracted and focused
Nothing equals prayer
To please the Father, we must live by faith
Meanwhile, Saul was still breathing out murderous threats against the Lord’s disciples. He went to the high priest and asked him for letters to the synagogues in Damascus, so that if he found any there who belonged to the Way, whether men or women, he might take them as prisoners to Jerusalem. As he neared Damascus on his journey, suddenly a light from heaven flashed around him. He fell to the ground and heard a voice say to him, “Saul, Saul, why do you persecute me?”
“Who are you, Lord?” Saul asked.
My sins were traded for His righteousness, so God doesn't just see me as a sinner who has been
forgiven, but justified, just as if I'd never done those things!
What Christ did is Much Much greater in its extent than what Adam did.
John 16:33 "In the world you will have tribulation; but be of good cheer, I have overcome the world."
Be transformed, God has more for your life, Forget the past.
Don’t let past successes stop you from straining toward what is ahead. God has more for you. Don’t live in the past. So many people never receive what God has for them today because they get stuck in yesterday!
The resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead is the most monumental event of all times
Jesus Christ took full command of the destiny of mankind. Through faith in Him we are saved and receive eternal life.
1 John 5:4 NKJV And this is the victory that has overcome the world—our faith.
Colosians 1: 15 He is the image of the invisible God, the firstborn over all creation. For by Him all things were created that are in heaven and that are on earth, visible and invisible, whether thrones or dominions or principalities or powers. All things were created through Him and for Him. And He is before all things, and in Him all things consist. And He is the head of the body, the church, who is the beginning, the firstborn from the dead, that in all things He may have the preeminence.
Heb 10:10–14 NLT For God’s will was for us to be made holy by the sacrifice of the body of Jesus Christ, once for all time. 11Under the old covenant, the priest stands and ministers before the altar day after day, offering the same sacrifices again and again, which can never take away sins.
Pastor Eddie Leo shares on the Divine Covenant, Kingdom Principles and Grace.
Of one thing we can be assured, God is with those who absolutely trust in Him and obey His Word without compromise. However, by letting go of His Rock-solid Word we give the devil an open invitation to take over.
Knowledge of the Word; obeying that knowledge; faith in the Word, and living according to the Word leads to blessedness. Do not complicate the situation, but take God?s Word at face value, keep it simple.
