The Holy Spirit spoke these words to me last night.
This is a parable about building a strong and everlasting life with Jesus.
If you build a cement wall without rebar it will eventually collapse.
This truth relates to all believers. Without the rebar of Christ there is no hope for an abundant life.
The world is temporary and unwieldy. There is no stability or hope in the world.
The Christ follower must develop deep spiritual roots reaching into the depth of his heart and soul.
You can experience the supernatural strength and endurance of Christ!
The starting point is to make a decision to live for Jesus above all else. This entitles you to the promises of Christ and seals you with the Holy Spirit. He is the life of Christ.
The strength of God comes from heaven and gives you the ability to overcome any difficulty.
Jesus is omniscient and sees everything about you. He offers supernatural wisdom and protection delivered from heaven.
Your spiritual roots have to be nourished through vigilant prayer, meditating on the Word of God, and listening for His voice.
The Christ follower must learn to submit to the authority of the Holy Spirit. He will teach you the values of Christ and refine you with the character of God.
The blood of Christ is required to cover your sins and baptize you into the death and resurrection of Christ. This will make you into a new creature filled with the life of Christ.
Commit your works to God each day and inquire of Him in all your decision making.
Draw near to Jesus and He will draw near to you. He wants to be in all the moments of your life!
