“The law of God is in his heart and none of his steps shall slide.” Psalm 37:31
The word from God today is redemption from sin comes through Christ Jesus. He is the only way you can escape the vulnerabilities of humanity and walk successfully with God.
The Holy Spirit brought this topic to my mind along with His thoughts concerning how you and I can become dead to sin and alive to God through Christ Jesus.
You and I are very vulnerable to sin. We were born with a disposition for sin and live in a world not under the authority of Christ. And, Satan is at work to destroy all believers.
Accept you have been sold under sin. All have sinned and fall short of the glory of God. Your inner nature is opposed to God and wants to live for self. This is the starting point with God.
Seek God first above all else. Find your help from God who created the heavens and earth. Man shall not live by bread alone but by every word that proceeds out of the mouth of God.
Acting out of your emotions will draw you away from God. Recognize your feelings of fear or doubt and cast them upon the shoulders of Christ. Stay grounded in Christ. Be anxious for nothing!
Understand the threat of sin coming through your family tree. Put on the armor of Christ to guard against the genetic disposition of sin.
Trying to control your life will cause stress and anger and distance you from God. Commit your works to Christ and let go. He controls your destiny.
You cannot appease God through laws or works. Walk by faith believing in the promises of Christ.
Don’t look for predictability in Christ. He thinks and acts differently than you.
Don’t try to control sin through self efforts. The law of the Spirit of life in Christ Jesus will set you free from the law of sin and death. There is no other way.
The biggest fallacy in a believer is denying the power of the Holy Spirit. He lives in you and is the life of Christ. The Spirit allows you to encounter the Living Christ and live a pleasing life to God.
You cannot replace abandonment to God with a works ethic. Christ wants your loyalty above all else. He wants all of you!
Most believers try to accomplish their plans through self determination. This approach will never work with God. It is not by might nor by power but by My Spirit. Cease from your works as God did from His and enter into the rest of Christ.
Neglecting the importance of the mind of Christ will lead you astray from God. How can you answer the question “What would Christ do?” without the Holy Spirit? He wants to fill you with His thoughts. Be still and listen for the voice of God.
Understand the righteousness of God comes by faith and has nothing to do with your own efforts. The holiness of God comes from the indwelling Holy Spirit.
Do not dismiss the power of Satan. He is a work to destroy you. Put on the full armor of God and be alert!
God never changes! Do not allow any teaching which deviates from the Word of Christ to enter your mind or heart.
Reject all secular views of society and the attempts of religion to compromise the Word of Christ. Build your foundation on Christ alone and nothing else.
He lives so you can live!
