God is the DO'er

12/26/2012

And if there was any doubt that everyone will be saved in the end......that Jesus truly is the Savior of the world and it was accomplished on the cross....check this out...

Jesus said, "No one can come to Me unless the Father who sent Me draws him; and I will raise him up on the last day." John 6:44

EVERYONE who has heard and learned from the Father, comes to Me. John 6:45

The Father draws....and no one comes to Jesus unless the Father draws him.

Jesus later states, "And I, if I am lifted up from the earth, will draw ALL men to Myself." John 12:32

"All the earth will worship you,
And will sing
praises to You;
They will sing praises to Your name."
Psalm 66:4

Notice the psalmist is saying ALL the earth will worship You..... ♥

Our God....
Who KEEPS us in life
And does not ALLOW our feet to slip.
For You have TRIED us, O God;
You have REFINED us as silver is refined.
You BROUGHT us into the net;
You LAID an oppressive burden upon our loins,
You MADE men ride over our heads;
We went through fire and through water,
Yet YOU brought us out into a place of abundance.
Psalm 66:8-12

Notice who the DO'er is... ♥

I will pour out My Spirit on ALL flesh.
Joel 2:28

Our God..
He does according to His will...No one can restrain His hand.
Daniel 4:35

Heaven must receive until the times of restoration of ALL things, which God has spoken by the mouth of all His holy prophets since the world began. Acts 3:21

The gifts and the calling of God are irrevocable. Romans 11:29

God was in Christ reconciling the world to Himself.
2 Corinthians 5:19

For He Himself is our peace, who made both groups into one and broke down the barrier of the dividing wall. Ephesians 2:14
The Gentiles are fellow heirs with Israel.
Ephesians 3:6

What a glorious truth knowing that all Israel will be saved. Romans 11:26

Behold, I make ALL things new....these words are truthful and faithful. Revelation 21:5

When we trust that God is the Do'er, we find less stress, worry, and anxiety in our lives. Who is in control of your life? Is it you? or is it the Creator of ALL things?

...this One is indeed the Savior of the world. John 4:42

We have seen and testify that the Father has sent the Son to be the Savior of the world. 1 John 4:14

Communion is a Remembrance

12/7/2012

Communion is formed from the Greek word koinonia meaning fellowship and koinonos meaning a sharer or partaker; derived from koinos meaning common and sun meaning together; the body of Christ coming
together to partake in the symbolism of Jesus' body and blood which He gave up for us on the cross.

Communion takes place for the purpose of remembering what Jesus accomplished for us through His death and resurrection. Communion is a fellowship of God's love. ♥

The Lord's Supper
1 Corinthians 11:23-26 Paul writes, "For I received from
the Lord that which I also delivered to you, that the Lord Jesus in the night in which He was betrayed took bread; and when He had given thanks, He broke it and
said, "This is my body, which is for you; do this in
remembrance of Me." In the same way He took the
cup also after supper, saying, "This cup is the new covenant in My blood; do this, as often as you drink it, in remembrance of Me."

Remember who you are in Christ under the New Covenant of Grace and forget who you were in the Old Covenant of Law. 2 Corinthians 5:17, "Therefore if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creature (creation in some translations); the old things passed away; behold, new things have come." Awesome!

In Romans 6:6, Paul tells us, "Our old self was crucified with Him, in order that our body of sin might be done away with, so that we would no longer be slaves to sin; for he who has died is freed from sin.

In Galatians 5:1, Paul says, "It was for freedom that Christ set us free; therefore keep standing firm and do not be subject to a yoke of slavery."

As we remember there is a living God inside of us, we rest from our works and allow His works to be produced through us. This is done through the Holy Spirit surrendering our will to His will. This is why it is said that faith without works is dead (James 2). We are given the faith of Christ. The faith produces the works. God's works not ours. All we are doing is remembering what HE has done for us and resting in union with Him. The more we get out of His way, the more fruit is produced leading to an abundant harvest.
Amen! ♥

God Reconciled ALL to Himself

12/3/2012

Paul wrote in Colossians 1:19-22, "For it was the Father's good pleasure for all the fullness to dwell in Him, and through Him to reconcile all things to Himself, having made peace through the blood of His cross; through Him I say, whether things on earth or things in heaven. And although you were formerly alienated and hostile in mind, engaged in evil deeds, yet He has now reconciled you in His fleshly body through death, in order to present you before Him holy and blameless and beyond reproach."

All things - ALL of humanity - has been reconciled to God. God has removed any distance between our relationship with Him. We are united as One and can never be separated. Notice how Paul refers to the alienation and hostility in mind....Our carnal mind can still deceive us and distract us from the truth of who we really are and how God sees us. Focus on Jesus and not self.

Paul wrote in 1 Corinthians 5:17-18, "In the light of your co-inclusion in His death and resurrection, whoever you thought you were before, Christ you are a brand new person! The old ways of seeing yourself and everyone else are over. Acquaint yourself with the new! To now see everything as new is to simply see what God has always known in Christ; we are not debating man's experience, opinion, or his contribution; this is 100% God's belief and His doing. In Jesus Christ, God exchanged equivalent value to redeem us to Himself. This act of reconciliation is the mandate of our ministry."

Paul continued in verse 19, "Our ministry declares that Jesus did not act independant of God. Christ is proof that God reconciled the total kosmos to Himself. The fallen state of mankind was deleted; their trespass would no longer count against them. God has placed this message within us. He now announces His friendship with every individual from within us. "

This is really good news! Thank you Father!
