This week we look at God’s Grace. God is love, and so it is the love of the Great Jehovah for His creation, that reveals itself through His grace (undeserved favor) and mercy (withholding of deserved punishment). All of humanity gets to choose whether to love God in return, receive the undeserved free gift of salvation.
The Lord Jesus is coming for a bride without spot or wrinkle. Those who are believers, walking in spirit and truth, must focus during these times on the Lord. It is important to see and identify people, places and things that are causing, distractions, chaos and confusion in your life. Those distractions may be people sitting next to you in church.
When we follow the steps of Jesus, we are not walking in our own strength. Jesus went before us and prepared a way. This way we just follow Jesus and do not have to figure things out.
Proverbs 17 verse 13 says, 13 Whoever rewards evil for good, evil shall not depart from his house.
There is only one way for evil to leave your home. You must stop allowing it in your house. This is why people need Jesus. Where the Spirit of the Lord is, there is freedom (2 Corinthians 3:17). If Jesus does not dwell in your home then other things will. Freedom means following in the footsteps Jesus left you.
It is very important for those newly saved to be able to find a church to continue to grow in Christ. In some of today’s churches there seems to be a charge for joining a discipleship group. A charge or collection for healing, deliverance, prophecy. Inside some churches, coffee, books, food are being sold. So much is about sales and making money. A new believer must think the church looks more like a place of business than a house of worship unto the Lord. If Jesus turned over tables in the church for selling when He was alive, he definitely would turn them over today. What must God think of sending His Son here to die, and see people now charging for deliverance and healing?
The truth is, the world you see on social media is not real. Clothes are borrowed, selfie backdrops are designed and props are bought to create the image the creator wants people to believe exists. All these things are created just to get you to believe that what you see is real, and cause you to want those things or that lifestyle. Because that lifestyle and those things are not real, you can not base your real life on a computer image. This season, come out from what the world is telling you to celebrate and celebrate real life abundantly
The act of sitting on a chair in a Jesus-centered church does not make a person saved. Will some people wait until they feel hell on their back before getting right with God? It is not until life gets challenging that some even call out to God. We are required to work out our own salvation with fear and trembling (Philippians 2 verse 12). Other people cannot get saved and repent for you. When Jesus is not a lifestyle, He is not Lord in all areas of your life or in any area. Do not wait until it is too late and be unprepared.
This week we continue with Part 2 of ‘Not Every Door Leads to Life.’ This week we focus on moving towards the path of Life. Identifying the correct doors. Understanding what it takes to find and remain on the narrow path that leads to Life.
Remember: every person, place, or thing is a door. Why? Because each require you to allow a person into your life. You agree to enter the door of a location and you agree to use every object to let it into your life. If Jesus was a door then people can be doors that lead you into their lives and agreements for what they do.
Enter through the narrow gate; for wide is the gate and spacious and broad is the way that leads away to destruction, and many are those who are entering through it. But the gate is narrow (contracted by pressure) and the way is straitened and compressed that leads away to life, and few are those who find it.
This week we ask the question “Are You Cursing Yourself?” We discuss the following subtopics:
The importance of Knowing God and His Word;
The importance of Knowing the devices of the enemy;
If the devil is not cursing me this time, then who is?
What weapon is formed against me?
How can I curse myself?
Careless words can give the devil access to your life;
How can someone free themselves?
