 Word For 2/23/2022

“Therefore if any man be in CHRIST, he is a new Creature: old things have passed away; behold, all things are become New.” 2 Corinthians 5:17

“Our LORD’s confidence in GOD and in What His Grace Could Do for any man, was so Perfect that He Despaired of no one.”

Oswald Chambers

“Prayerlessness is Our DECLARATION of INDEPENDENCE From GOD!”

Luke 18:1 “One day JESUS Told His Disciples a Story to SHOW that They should Always PRAY and NEVER Give UP.”

“Worry is WORSHIPING Your Problem – PRAYER is Surrendering Your Problem!”

Be Encouraged, Pastor Bob Harris

“He who follows Righteousness and Mercy finds Life, Righteousness and Honor.” Proverbs 21:21

The problem with the Gospel Message that is being preached today by many ministries and preachers is that it is not about being a New Creature (Creation) in CHRIST JESUS, it is not about spending time in GOD’s Presence to grow into such a personal relationship with The LIVING GOD that we can only do what is Right and be Obedient to His Will. Anything else is not sufficient!

If I am a Christian then I am filled with the Presence of GOD by His SPIRIT! I should be compelled by my spirit to spend as much of my time as possible in His Presence being trained, conformed into CHRIST’s image(through suffering) and conformed to His Lifestyle (discipleship). But I have control over all that; how much time I spend in personal worship and prayer, studying (not just reading) The Bible, thinking about (meditating on) what it says and how it applies to my life, worshipping and fellowshipping with other Christians and learning to Love others as I Love myself.

My fear is that many Christians are just born again, SPIRIT filled babies who are waiting for the rapture to rescue them from any real persecution and trials. That when they don’t get raptured and are faced with real persecution and have to make life and death decisions based on their Faith (like millions of Christians around the world have to do everyday) they will falter and be lost to GOD’s eternal Kingdom.

Seek GOD First!
