Let Us Wait

-

 Each day of my life given here within this present sphere of life. I always find myself thanking the Lord God Almighty for all He's done in my life. But, it hasn't always been this way in my life. There was a time in my life when I couldn't wait upon the Lord God Almighty in any area of my life. Yes, I was so impatient, so out of place. 

That's up until I read the story about Abraham and Sarah. They both was up in age when the Lord God Almighty informed Abraham and Sarah that He would give the both of them a child in their old age. All Abraham and Sarah had to do is wait upon the fulfillment of the promise of the Lord God Almighty to be fulfilled. 

This of course meant the both of them would have to await the arrival of the stated promise of a child. Sarah, was surely taken by surprise, after all she said; shall I have a child in my old age? My body of beyond child bearing age. Not, me Lord. Then, she laughed. But, Abraham, full of faith had determined to wait upon the Lord God Almighty for the fulfillment of the promise of a child. 

This is exactly why we have the word "wait" in the Bible. Wait always means faith, but it is not trusting for a second, or for five minutes. Wait means keep trusting, as I have already noted with, Abraham, who .... 

Staggered not at the promises of God through unbelief; but was strong in faith, giving glory to God. (Roman 4:20) 

Therefore, what does it mean to be "strong in faith"? He, Abraham, kept on trusting; he never stopped trusting, even though all hope of fathering children was dead (Genesis 18:10-11). In fact, hr was a member of the human family who was repeatedly tested. Yet all, Abraham, did was say, "Thank you, Lord, for Your graciousness to me. 

He kept right on trusting and God fulfilled the divine purpose of progeny to him. Abraham, through faith, became one of the greatest believers who ever lived. Each of us can experience such great works of the, Lord Jesus Christ, in every area of our life. All it truly takes is our obedience and our waiting upon the Lord to bring to pass those things He's promised in our life. 

I pray this short blog post has inspired and encouraged you on your journey and walk of faith with the Lord Jesus Christ. Please, feel free to leave your comments, share this post, or ask any questions you may have about this blog post. God bless.

The Barrier Removed

-
 In order to free us from the slave market of sin, God designed a means by which His perfect standards can be met. God the Father sent His Son, Jesus Christ, to remove the barrier between God and man. Jesus Christ is unique because He is both perfect God and perfect man. Not only is Jesus Christ human, but He is also just as much God as the Father who sent Him: "I and the Father are one" (John 10:30).  When Jesus Christ came to earth to become the God-man, He was born outside the slave market: His humanity was perfect. Because of His unique birth, He alone had no sinful nature. He never committed a sin Himself, and no divine punishment was due Him.  Only Christ was qualified on His own merit to meet the perfect standards of God. Only Christ could purchase our freedom because He was free from sin and outside the slave market. God the Father as the Supreme Judge accepted Him as your substitute. As the only perfect man in history, Jesus Christ chose to judged on the cross for ma

Passion & Praise God's Way

  I learned over the many years of my life God's ways of doing things are the total opposite of the way we as humans like to do things. The Word of God says; do this and instead, we insist on doing it our way which only leads us into problems in our life. We each can rediscover true passion and praise once again simply by seeking the Lord God's way of serving Him. We cannot come into the presence of the Lord God any kind of way. No, there's a sure way for us to enter into fellowship with the Lord Jesus Christ each time we go to present ourselves before Him.  It's wonderful how the Lord Jesus Christ, followed his Father's instructions to the letter. He experienced many hardships. Many let downs by others who didn't mean him any good whatsoever as he walked faithfully to the cross which would take his life. Yes, this was his passion and praise done God's way. Yet in the very midst of everything taking place in his life. The Lord Jesus Christ remained faithfull

Separated From God

-
 Until this moment you may not have been aware that you were born under a sentence of death. You may think of yourself as a 'good person,' and you feel that God would never condemned you, and only Christ can save you. In Christ's own words the Gospel message is: "I am the way, and the truth, and the life; no one comes to the Father, but through Me."  Our marred nature separates us from God. There are no 'good' people by God's standards. No one can be 'good enough' by his own desire or works to remove this barrier that separates man from God. Imperfect man is on one side of the barrier and perfect God is on the other.  What does it take to get it right with the Father? It's simple; accept the sacrifice of His only begotten Son, Jesus Christ. His finished works on the cross is all you need. Here's what the manifest Word of God says:  But what saith it? The word is nigh thee, even in thy mouth, and in thy heart; that is, the word of faith,
