In a world that often measures worth by productivity and approval, it's easy to feel like we have to work tirelessly to earn acceptance. However, as believers in Christ, we are invited to approach our kingdom work from a place of rest, knowing that we are already approved by God through Christ's finished work. We can co-labor with Him, ceasing from our own works, resting in Christ’s completed work, and live free from the fear of scrutiny, thriving in our God-given passions and callings.
God declares Himself as your provider, a good Father who desires to bless and care for you. His ability to provide is independent of the economy, the stock market, or any other human systems we typically rely on. God's provision is spiritual in nature. Join us today as we explore the spiritual nature of His provision.
Thank you for joining us for Pentecost Sunday! Today we celebrate one of the greatest promises fulfilled, the giving of the Holy Spirit God’s spirit dwelling in the believer is the source of regeneration, salvation, and continual life in Christ. God’s Spirit living in you will bear fruit through you and empower you to minister God’s will to others. His Spirit will guide and correct you, He will give you strength and healing, and He will always remind you what Christ has accomplished for you.
Jesus healed people and he gave us his power to heal people. This should be the end of the story but we still live in bodies where sin is having an effect. Thankfully, we also have God’s spirit in us, giving life to our bodies. We’re not in a dualistic battle between the power of God and the power of sin, we have a belief issue that determines which one will bear fruit in our lives. Join us today as we continue our discussion on healing.
Jesus suffered all the effects of your sin on the cross.
I mean, can we just pause and be thankful about that for a moment.
Because he suffered the penalty for your sin, this is true for you.
For the law of the Spirit of life in Christ Jesus has made me free from the law of sin and death. - Romans 8:2
Now, before I get too far into this, let me make the clear statement that if you continue in sin, you will experience all sorts of death because you will reap what you sow, and if you continue to sow sin to the flesh, you will experience death.
BUT!!!
It’s NOT from God!!!
Use this huge list of attributes of Jesus to renew your mind and be transformed. As you behold Him, you become like Him. Use this list to behold His Majesty and allow these attributes to be reflected within you. Allow these powerful truths of the identity of Christ to shape you and conform you to His image.
Gratitude is proactive. A thankful person doesn't wait for something good to happen to be grateful toward God. A thankful mindset is aware of all that God has already done in Christ. True thankfulness gives thanks in all things because it knows that no matter what happens, we have a hopeful future in eternity with our Father in Heaven.
