“I now rejoice in my sufferings for you, and fill up in my flesh what is lacking in the afflictions of Christ, for the sake of His body, which is the church.” Colossians 1:24
This morning God said to me; “Why do My people try to impress Me through works when all I seek from them is to believe in Me?”
And….
“This judgment is eternal and will manifest itself in many different forms.”
“There is hope for those who profess My name and are willing to lay down their life for My sake.”
Some other thoughts today:
The laboring for Christ begins with prayer. Nothing else really matters. You are building a relationship with the Living Christ.
It is impertinence to think you can earn the respect of God through your own efforts.
Prayer changes lives and brings down strongholds.
The Holy Spirit knows the mind of Christ and prays through you with deep groans you cannot grasp.
Jesus prayed for the will of God and died on the Cross. This was the perfect sacrifice entitling all to the abundant and eternal life of Christ.
You will impress God by your faith not by works or religion.
The true believer worships God in Spirit and Truth.
You can please God by standing in the gap for those in bondage to sin. Intercession is the highest calling of God. It sets people free.
Prayer is respecting God for who He is and understanding you are hopeless without Him.
Prayer opens the door to the transfigured Christ!
