What Does it Mean- God’s Grace

admin — Sat, 10 Oct 2009 22:55:32 +0000

In the Christian’s world, what does it mean when people say things like God’s grace was upon me. Grace is God s ability given to us and placed upon us. You are saved by it, which means that there is nothing you can do to earn your salvation; it is a gift from God. It is what God has finished for you. I have also seen that the disciples prayed that God’s grace would be added to one another often. The bible says at hand there is a gift of grace, just like there is a gift of faith, leadership, encouragement and others. As we depend on God completely for His ability( grace) to operate through us, then we look to his power working through us, and we no longer have to consider simply our own ability but that God is working through us. That is where the power to overcome difficulties and furthermore to minister to others is descovered. I can accomplish all things through Christ who strengthens me.

1Cor. 15:10
But by the grace of God I am what I am: And his grace which was bestowed upon me was not in vain; but I labored more abundantly than they all: Yet not I, but the grace of God which was with me.

Once we get God’s grace upon us and working through us, we will be used to to touch many peoples lives. When we experience the reality of his grace working through us, we will never again wonder what it means to have it upon us.

Now matter what is going on in your life today, the Lord is near to you. He has promised to never leave you nor forsake you. He loves you very much.

Psalm 145:18-20
The LORD is near to all who call on him, to all who call on him in truth.
He fulfills the desires of those who fear him; he hears their cry and saves them. The LORD watches over all who love him, but all the wicked he will destroy.

Trust God with your life today… all of it. Take a moment to just acknowledge his faithfulness and recall the times when He has revealed himself in real ways. He will never let you go.

What Has God Said?

Without faith, the Bible says that it is impossible to please God. Jesus on many occasions told people that God had acted on their behalf because of their faith. He made statements like, “You of little faith” and “Receive your sight, your faith has healed you.” God has said that faith is very important.

Luke 6:46
“Why do you call me, ‘Lord, Lord’ and do not do what I say?”

Mark 11:22
“Have faith in God,” Jesus answered.

Matthew 14:31
Immediately Jesus reached out his hand and caught him. “You of little faith, he said, why did you doubt?”

If we are going to live a life dedicated to God, then we must walk in the things that God has said. Will you choose to be a faith -walker today? He is faithful,; trust Him today with every area of your life and the peace of God will guard your heart and mind. Give Him your worries because he cares for you.

Things to Say When Witnessing for Christ

admin — Tue, 22 Sep 2009 16:25:00 +0000

At times we think there are many things we must say when witnessing about Christ. The truth is our messages never change; Jesus is the way to Heaven. He is the ticket or free pass that God has provided in order for us to spend eternity in Heaven.

The Bible says that the gospel is the power of God unto salvation. So we should learn how to speak the word of God in love.

1 John 5:11
And this is the testimony: God has given us eternal life, and this life is in his Son.

John 3:36
Whoever believes in the Son has eternal life, but whoever rejects the Son will not see life, for God’s wrath remains on him.

John 14:6
Jesus answered, “I am the way and the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me.”

Sometimes when I am witnessing about Christ, I just keep it simple and inform people of what the gospel says about how Jesus is the only way. There are times when I say many things in an effort to convince people that Jesus is the way. When it’s all said and done, it is the gospel that has the power to touch and transform a life. When we speak the truth of God’s word into hearing ears, God can then access those scriptures and speak through his Holy Spirit to the people whom we were witnessing to whenever he chooses to.

When they get home and are all alone reminiscing about their day, the Holy Spirit can say to them, “I am the way, the truth and the life.” After all, the Bible is the living word of God.

Where is Your faith

admin — Thu, 20 Aug 2009 17:47:22 +0000

Recently a good friend of mine looked me square in the eyes and said: “Where is your faith”? This comment came after I had expressed my need for prayer in relation to my concerns about not having enough work for the upcoming week to meet the needs in my life. Afterward I thought of how Jesus in Matthew 4: 36 said: “You of little faith, why are you so afraid?”

Romans 8:31
If God is for us, who can be against us?

God just wants us to trust him. The concept of faith is simple: give your troubles to God and trust that he cares for you enough to see you through the difficult times. The result may not turn out the way that we wanted it to, but all things work for the good in the lives of those who love God.
