Word For 5/5/2022

 

“Likewise The SPIRIT also helps in our weaknesses. For we do not know what we should pray for as we ought, but The SPIRIT Himself makes intercession for us with groanings which cannot be uttered.” Romans 8:26

 

“We look for visions from Heaven and we never dream that all the time GOD is in the commonplace things and people around us. If we will do the duty that lies nearest, we shall see Him.” Oswald Chambers

 

In life there have always been many things that distract us from being fully committed to CHRIST and The Kingdom of Heaven. Now with instant communications and information bombarding us continually there are even more distractions to divert our thinking and activities. Even in the Church there are many distractions and divisions that are not of GOD’s Kingdom and are designed to make us religious not Christian.

 

To be conformed to the image of CHRIST in the fellowship of His suffering, even to His death as we work out our salvation daily there are only two things that we need to have in the forefront of our life every moment of every day (this is a challenge to do). “Seek you first The Kingdom of GOD and His Righteousness…” and “Go therefore and make disciples of all the nations, baptizing them in The Name of The Father and The Son and The HOLY SPIRIT, teaching them to observe all things that I have commanded you; and lo, I Am with you always, even to the end of the age.”

 

Seek GOD’s Kingdom and His Righteousness: this is the prayer and fasting, the Bible study and memorization, listening to The SPIRIT of GOD and obeying, fellowshipping with like minded and disciplined Christians and waiting on GOD’s timing no matter how long or how difficult the task rejoicing in the trials, tribulations and persecutions. “This is the patience of the Saints!”

 

Go: this is the witnessing every chance we get no matter where we are and who is around, living like CHRIST, taking up our cross daily, loving our spouse, neighbors and enemies, loving sinners but hating their sin, fulfilling the fruit of The SPIRIT, using the gifts of The SPIRIT as He leads and persevering no matter how long or how difficult the task rejoicing in the trials, tribulations and persecutions. “This is the patience of the Saints!”

 

Pray for me as I pray for you.

Seek GOD First!

GOD Bless, Bob & Charlene
