“For I am the Lord, I do not change;” Malachi 3:6

Last night God told me that He is an irrevocable God. He will never change and cannot be altered. He is final and complete.

God is above reproach (disappointment or disapproval) and His ways are perfect. Jesus represents the fullness of the Godhead and is the first and last God. He is a loving and kind God and His compassions will never fail you.

You and I can trust God implicitly because He never changes and His Word is irrevocable. He is your only hope in this world.

I AM who I AM!

He has come to give you an abundant life and share His godly attributes with you. He is your source for strength, joy, peace, and heavenly wisdom.

 God is the only person you can trust in this world. His promises are irrevocable and cannot be cancelled. You can live on His promises like “My God will supply your every need according to the riches of His glory in Christ Jesus”.

Come to God today with a renewed faith in the irrevocable nature of who He is. Worship God in Spirit and Truth. He is worthy of your praise. Great things He has done!

Thought for the day:

“I am an irrevocable God and I never change. I am the author of life and My compassions will never fail you. Come to Me by faith and I will do for you what you can never do for yourself.”

 

 

“Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation; old things have passed away; behold, all things have become new.” 2 Corinthians 5:17

Jesus Christ is at work today to transform you into His image and to let you see your life through His eyes.

It really comes down to making a decision to live for Him and turning away from sin. You have to hold up your hands to the most holy and exalted God and invite Him to come live in every aspect of your life.

I am a God without boundaries!

The essence of your relationship with God is your faith in His promises. If you truly believe He has power and dominion over all things and is the author of life you can “let go” and abandon your life to Jesus.

Without faith you cannot please God. Faith is the cornerstone to an authentic life with Jesus. You have to believe God calls things that don’t exist as if they did. Your faith in God will make you whole and the life of Jesus will flow into you.

Come to God today with an attitude of “Be still and know that I am God”. He is a complete God and lacks nothing!

Thought for the day:

“I deserve your unwavering faith in My promises. You can please Me by walking in faith and seeking Me out for your every need. Keep your eyes on Me not the things of the world.”

 

 

“Heaven and earth will pass away, but my words will never pass away.” Mark 13:31

Last night God reminded me that He is not a supposition, a theory, or an idea. There is no guess work about God!

God is alive and wants to live in you and through you. This is reality and can be experienced by you today.

I am eternal. Come live with Me!

The gift of God is eternal life and comes by making a decision to live for Jesus, the Son of God.

You become a new creature in Christ Jesus and old things fade away and all things become new. You literally become “born again” and filled with Christ through the Holy Spirit.

God created the heavens and the earth and has power and dominion over all things. He is the first and the last God. There is no other God!

He is a God of greatness, power, glory, victory, and majesty and He wants to personally share these attributes with you.

Our great God desires to have a personal and intimate relationship with you. He wants to speak to you, guide your foot steps, and provide you with heavenly wisdom.

You can find Jesus when you make a commitment to live for Him and seek Him out through prayer, His Word, and the Holy Spirit. He lives so you can live! And He will give you a better life than you can ever give yourself.

Give Him the glory, great things He has done!

Thought for the day:

“I am a Living God! Come to Me by faith and worship Me in Spirit and Truth. I will show myself to you and you will witness My glory and greatness. I want to be your best friend and walk through life with you.”

 

 

The failure of Christianity!

Christianity has failed mainly because the priority neglects to introduce you to the living person of Jesus Christ and teach you to come into a personal and intimate relationship with Him.

Christianity seduces people into believing in the importance of membership in a local church and following the rules of their organization. They teach you must obey laws and do works to please God.

The concept of faith in God gets lost in the midst of religious activities, rituals, and involvement in ministries.

The local church is very important to God and He desires for you to worship Him in the body of Christ. Unfortunately, the focus is on religion and works. Jesus gets lost in the religion and the Holy Spirit is controlled and minimized.

The purpose of a pastor or bible teacher is to point people to Jesus Christ and teach you how to live in oneness with Him. It is never about promoting an individual or a specific church.

You should experience the glory and the truth of the Living God every time you attend a church service. You should leave with a deep inner satisfaction that you met Jesus today!

The church’s role is to prepare and equip believers to walk with God and understand His ways. If you follow the heart of Jesus, you will be “sent out” to share the Living Water with those people in your life.

God wants to set people free. Religion wants to control people. This is the conflict that has led to the failure of Christianity. God wants you to walk freely out the door of a church on Sunday and enter into life as His light to the world.

The church is a safe and cozy place. The people tend to be nice and your life is not really threatened with change or conflict.

If you walk with Jesus, your life will be turned upside down and you find out very quickly that light and darkness cannot coexist in a relationship with Him.

The point of this message is to center your life on the person of Jesus Christ and He will share His greatness and glory with you. You will come to know the Living God and will have a deep thirst for more of Him.

Thought for the day:

 “I died to abolish laws and religion. My purpose is to set you free and prepare you to be My light to the world. There is a special holiness and purity in walking with Me. You see Me for who I am and learn My ways.”

“But where sin abounded, grace abounded much more” Romans 5:20

Imagine a world corrupt with sin and ungoverned by the laws of God! This is where you live! And this condition is going to get worse not better!

Around 1500 years before Christ, God saw the problem of widespread lawlessness against His principles. God raised up Moses and gave him a series of laws for the Israelites to follow.

These laws came from the heart of God but unfortunately no one could comply with them. And the laws caused the people to fall under condemnation. The harder the Israelites tried to obey the laws the deeper the condemnation and the futility of failing God.

The perfect plan of God was to show mankind that all were born under sin and no one could be redeemed by good works or following the laws of God.

God alleviated this eternal problem through Jesus Christ, the Son of God. The love of God came into the world to forgive all sin, reconcile you to God, and allow you to live in His righteousness.

Look around today and you will see the pervasiveness of sin in the world and in your own life. The life of Jesus living in you (in the essence of the Holy Spirit) is your only hope to live a life pleasing to God!

God delights in reaching out to those whose lives are in shambles and have strayed away from God. He is a God of redemption and wants to raise you up to live with Him! There is no one like God!

Thought for the day:

“Reach out to Me and I will meet you at your point of need! I am a God of love and compassion and will give you what you can never find in the world!”

 

 

“My soul thirsts for God, for the living God.” Psalm 42:2

You were born in the image of God and you have a deep hole within your soul that can only be filled by God.

Your soul cries out for God! This emptiness cannot be fulfilled by anything in the world. You can have a luxurious lifestyle, an abundance of money, enjoy fine dining and wine, and have many sexual escapades but none of this will fill the hole in your soul.

There is a deep thirst for God alive in your soul and this can only be quenched by the Living Water of Jesus Christ, the Son of God. If you drink the Living Water you will never thirst again. God will be living in you and He will be your source for an abundant life.

Your soul yearns to be filled with the Word of God and to be united with His Spirit. And you have a deep urging inside you to praise God and seek Him out in prayer.

Come to your Creator confessing your sins and asking for His forgiveness. Commit your works to God and seek His will for your life.

Live by faith in the Son of God trusting Him for your every need and it will be well with your soul.

My heart sings out for the Lord! He is a good God!

Thought for the day:

“I created you in My image and I want to live in you and through you. I will nourish you with My life and you will discover that I am a complete God and lack nothing. When you meet the reality of who I am nothing else will ever satisfy you.”

“But I will hope continually,
And will praise You yet more and more.
My mouth shall tell of Your righteousness
And Your salvation all the day,
For I do not know their limits.
I will go in the strength of the Lord GOD;
I will make mention of Your righteousness, of Yours only.” Psalm 71:14-16

Pray for hope in our eternal God today! This hope is built on the promises of God. You can hope in God because He keeps His Word and He is a God of mercy and justice.

Fill your heart with praise for God! Praise Him for who He is! Do not link your praise to the circumstances of life. Your life will have ups and downs but God is consistent and He never changes.

Ask God to fill you today with words edifying the righteousness and salvation of our majestic God.

You worship a God who has no limits. The gift of eternal life has no end. You live with God forever and He fills you with His life.

The strength of the Lord comes from heaven and will allow you to overcome every challenge in your life. This strength is made perfect when you come to God in weakness and recognize He alone has power and dominion over all things.

Thought for the day:

“I live so you can live today! Come to Me by faith. Believe in Me for who I am. I have no limits and there is no one like Me!”

 

“Commit your way to the Lord, trust also in Him, and He shall bring it to pass.” Psalm 37:5

Sometimes I think you and I try to get to much into the mind of God trying to figure out how He functions in life and what He wants from you.

You will never be able to fully comprehend God and His ways. He lives in heaven and is a spiritual being. He thinks and acts differently than you and is always miles ahead of you in your journey through life.

To keep it simple, God wants your wholehearted devotion and loyalty to Him. And He wants you to trust Him for your every need in life. As you “let go” He will draw nearer to you and you will see His glory and greatness.

As I was walking today, God reminded me that an excellent way to determine if your life is spiritually in balance is to look at how you allocate your time. If you are spending an inordinate amount of time on any one activity or passion you are probably out of His will. This action can easily become an idol and lead you into the consequences of sin.

Remember, without faith you cannot please God. So you have to live out your faith trusting God in all the ups and downs of life. He wants you to be a doer of His Word and walk in His footsteps.

God has a different set of values than you. He sees life as an eternal journey and physical death is not really a deterrent in His mind. And God does not function on a clock. Time is inconsequential to Him! So you have to be patient and wait upon God.

You can find God in prayer, through His Word, and by living in oneness with the Holy Spirit who dwells in you. God will speak to you, give you wisdom, and explain His ways through His Spirit. The Spirit’s purpose is to take what belongs to Jesus and declare it to you.

Pray for unwavering faith in the promises of God. If you lack faith ask Jesus to share His faith with you. This is the same faith that gave Him the courage and stamina to die on a cross for you.

Thought for the day:

“Delight yourself in the Lord and I will do for you what you can never do for yourself.”

 

“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 1:4

Today you will wake up and go about life participating in your work, family and friends, meals, fitness or special interests, and whatever else life brings to you. This is a superficial view of your life from the perspective of God.

God looks through your life today to draw you to Himself and to use you to accomplish His purposes.

You have to be crucified with Jesus to do His work. You will suffer as Jesus did on the cross. Your body is a vessel of God and the afflictions of Jesus Christ in the world today are your burden.

This can be a calling to be an intercessor for those in bondage to sin, expressing the light of God through your words and actions to others, or confronting sin and corruption.

God is at work today to purify you with His virtue and show you the afflictions He is suffering for His people. You are an instrument of God to bring salvation and justice to the world.

Jesus Christ is calling you today to walk by faith and to be filled with His life. This life is not for you. It is to be shared with those mired in sin and the weak and impoverished of the world.

Thought for the day:

“Your life belongs to Me for My purposes. Make your priority to know Me and understand My ways. You will find the life of Jesus when you abandon yourself wholly to Me and live in Me through prayer, praise for My exalted name, and dwelling in the Living Word. I am a God who will give you more than you ask or think and bless you with an abundant life.”

 

 

“They will do such things because they have not known the Father or me.” John 16:3

If you are serious about God and walking in His ways, your life will mirror the life of Jesus.

Think about it this way; Jesus lives in you and through you so everything that takes place in your life is really a microcosm of the life of Jesus. This includes your successes, your troubles, and all the trials of life.

Jesus was praised, verbally abused, ridiculed and rejected by the religious leaders of the day. You can expect the same persecution in your walk with God.

The Father and I are one!

Jesus had one objective in His life! He wanted to be one with His Father. Your priority is to be one with Jesus and follow in His footsteps. This involves losing your life to find His life.

You cannot invite people into a relationship with Jesus without identifying with His suffering, feeling His pain,  and taking on the same treatment as Jesus.

If you have been crucified with Jesus, your purpose will be to live with Him and draw those around you to the Living God.

Don’t think about religion, works, or trying to live a saintly life! Make your goal to know the risen Christ!

Thought for the day:

“Your life belongs to Me! Walk with the Son of God and you will see Me for who I am. You can please Me with your steadfast faith in My promises and becoming My light to the world.”
