Jesus the Rock
- Are you being renewed by His Sacrafice?
- Are you being refreshed by His Presences?
- Have you allowed the Power of His Spirit Revive You?
Don't put it off. Do it now!
A lot of us put things off; we do just that, we say: not now, later, but I want to tell you some truth: "the when's" of life often don't come and then its too late.
If you don't know whether you will go to heaven when you leave this place, then take the advice of Proverbs 6:4 and don't put it off, do it now! You can know for sure today:
The Bible says:
- We all need a savior: (Romans 3:23)
- If we recognize that we are sinners and ask for forgiveness we will receive forgiveness (1 John 1:9)
- if we confess with our mouths and believe in our hearts Jesus is Lord then we will be saved: (Romans 10:9)
- Once we make those steps now is the real blessing, A relationship with the one who saved you Jesus Christ, we move on to greater understanding of who Christ is in our lives. ( Romans 5:1)
John 3:16 - For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life
Don't put it off. Do it now!
Proverbs 6:4 Don't put it off. Do it now! Don't rest until you do.
The Lord Tests His Leaders
- We should be prepared to be tested
- We should be willing to directed
- We should be ready for success
God will start wtih vision, then with testing, supplying direction and if we submit to the process we will ultimately be successful.
Blessed Because We Believe
The amazing thing about this verse in John 20 is this: I believe, and I am more blessed because of it, although I have not physically seen Jesus with my eyes, I have seen Him in the very details of my life. I have experienced His power in my life:
I am blessed because: though I have never seen Him this is still true:
- I have received His salvation
- I have power to overcome
- I have every provision for everyday life.
I am blessed because I don't need to see Him to know Him and to experience His power and Presence in my life.
Then Jesus told him, “You believe because you have seen me. Blessed are those who believe without seeing me.” John 20:29
Be careful What You Hear
Jesus said that the fruit of a persons life expose their intentions. He warns us to watch out for false prophets, people seeking to elevate themselves, those that are pride motivated, who's intentions are personal of nature, not God centered.
Truth not every voice we hear is from God
Ways to evaluate a word.
. 1. Is it motivated out of love
2. Is it clear
3. Does it line up with God's word
Remember this "God opposes the proud but shows favor to the humble." James 4:6
15 “Watch out for false prophets. They come to you in sheep’s clothing, but inwardly they are ferocious wolves. 16 By their fruit you will recognize them. Do people pick grapes from thornbushes, or figs from thistles? 17 Likewise, every good tree bears good fruit, but a bad tree bears bad fruit. 18 A good tree cannot bear bad fruit, and a bad tree cannot bear good fruit. ~Matthew 7:15-18
