Be kind to one another, tender-hearted, forgiving one another, as Christ forgave you.
How we react, creates a chain reaction to how others respond and how they feel from being in our presence.
Everyone one is going through something privately…so we must be purposeful in striving to respond in kindness, so we are helping to lift up one another, instead of breaking one’s spirit.
Isaiah 43:18- Remember not the former things,nor consider the things of old.
When we truly begin to walk with Jesus, we change… and with that change, turbulence will ensue between our earthly life and our spirit, to which the spirit becomes our priority, leaving our earthly habits and connections to people of our past, in our past.
Darkness will use our past, with thoughts of guilt, sadness and longing, with persuasion that we are missing out or hurting others by moving forward… when in reality, forward is what keeps us closer to God, which is the relationship that the devil wants to destroy.
Psalms 34:4- I sought the lord, and he answered me; he delivered me from all my fears.
Every time we worry, we diminish the power of our faith, which leaves cracks for darkness, to penetrate our mind and distract us from Gods power in our life.
Colossians 1: 16-20 For by him all things were created, in heaven and on earth…
Through Jesus everything was created… he left heaven, to come live on satans playground to save us. The depth of his love cannot be described… for all of our sins, are the very nails that hung him on the cross.
We do not deserve his love and forgiveness … but he knows how hard it is to live in a fallen world; that is why he came in earthly form to save us… for if he would not have, all of us would be spending our eternity in hell.
So as the season of Christmas begins, we must not allow satans playground to distract us with the need for presents and grand self absorbed gestures. But celebrate what Jesus did for us, by accepting his gift…eternal life, living in peace and love with him.
Daniel 3:24-25 – “Did we not cast three men bound into the fire?“
God never runs out of miracles… we must not put our faith or hope in anyone but him. No matter what the outcome is for our wishes… he knows the best route for our personal journey.
Sometimes the miracle is hidden from the perception of what we long for, but is revealed to us later in our spirit.
Jeremiah 29:11- for I know the plans I have for you, declares the Lord…
God does not laugh at our plans, he just has something better planned for us… and most of the time we will kick and scream our way through the steps of his plan
Better to trust his plan when things don’t go our way than to kick and scream… because his plan will always come to fruition, no matter how long we fight it.
Revelation 20:15 – “and if anyone’s name was not found written in the book of life, he will be thrown in the lake of fire.”
Our spirit never dies, even if we are thrown into the lake of fire. For the lake of fire, is everlasting torcher and complete separation from God.
We must get our names in the book of life in order to be saved from evil… and the ONLY way, is through Jesus. There is no do over, no second chance… this life is our only opportunity to get our name in that book to make it to heaven.
Prayer is the only way to give God the authority to do his will in our life… for we all have free will… and prayer is like handing the keys of our life over to God, to lead us and protect us from the sin of the world.
