Bargaining with Jesus!

God spoke to me last night about bargaining with Jesus.

Bargaining is defined as negotiating the terms of a contract.  

There is no negotiation in your relationship with God. The decision for Christ is to live for Him by faith. You agree to make Jesus the centerpiece of your life and seek out His will for your life.

The mindset of most believers entering into a covenant with God is you must do works and keep laws to obtain the favor of God. 

This is an impediment to walking with God. There is no obligation on the part of God to bless you because of your works. The blessings of God come to those who walk by faith believing in the promises of God and are obedient to the voice of God. 

This is the terms of your salvation contract with God. You become a new creature in Christ and old things fade away and all things become new. Your life is in the hands of God. 

Seek God through prayer, the Word, and the Holy Spirit.

The love of God is your motive for doing good works and becoming a fountain of Living Water touching others. 

The reason to make a decision for Jesus who has power and dominion over the heavens and earth is you can look into His face and be accepted as blameless and innocent from all sin. There is no shame or embarrassment over you in the eyes of Jesus.

You will impress Jesus by your unyielding faith and coming to Him as an utterly unworthy and broken individual who can never match up to the standards of God.
