What is in your heart today?


What Is In Your Heart Today?

March 19, 2013 - Romans 12
 
 
 
 
Dear  Saints,
 
Today we prayerfully (or should I say prayerfully and carefully), continue our Feast in Romans 12. Because as saints called by Jesus and justified by faith we are to dedicate ourselves to God. We do not run around and point out to others how humbly, and faithfully we use our spiritual gifts, in our service to Jesus.  There is no need to point out our duties as Saints; our very actions will highlight our calling.  We are called to peaceable service to all men, with patience and compassion by our Lord Jesus.   19 Beloved, never avenge yourselves, but leave it to the wrath of God, for it is written, “Vengeance is mine, I will repay, says the Lord.” 20 To the contrary, “if your enemy is hungry, feed him; if he is thirsty, give him something to drink; for by so doing you will heap burning coals on his head.” 21 Do not be overcome by evil, but overcome evil with good.” Romans 12:19-21, English Standard Version (ESV).  With this entire thought in mind we must ask ourselves what is our motivation for sharing Jesus’ love?  Do I share with my enemies to clobber them or because I really want them to become Saints, sealed with the peace that passes understanding by the Holy Spirit.  Are we sharing because the love of God fills our hearts?   We can be sure God knows our hearts.  But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, self-control; against such things there is no law.” Galatians 5:22-23 ESV.  Look at your life in relationship to Jesus.  Because the Holy Spirit motivates us; we should see these things in our very lives; love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, self-control!  Never forget God knows our hearts and motivations.

“ROMANS 5:1-5 (NEW INTERNATIONAL)
 
1 Therefore, since we have been justified through faith, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ, 2 through whom we have gained access by faith into this grace in which we now stand. And we rejoice in the hope of the glory of God. 3 Not only so, but we also rejoice in our sufferings, because we know that suffering produces perseverance; 4 perseverance, character; and character, hope. 5 And hope does not disappoint us, because God has poured out his love into our hearts by the Holy Spirit, whom he has given us.
 
The other day after receiving prayer for healing, I was given a rock on that rock was one word and that word was HOPE. Our Hope is in the Lord Jesus Christ not in man. Every time I put my hand in my pocket I feel that little rock. I am reminded of what Jesus did for me and is still doing for me. Praise God that He loves us.
 
Read God’s word with Prayer. Read His word every chance you get.
 
                    Let all the people Rejoice and praise Him.
 
This is inspired by the Holy Spirit. Praise God.
 
Your Brother In Christ

Are we sealed? – Romans 1

Are we sealed?  – Romans 11
 image
March 18, 2013 - Romans 11




Dear  Saints,

Today we prayerfully continue our Feast in Romans 11.  There some Jews who accepted Jesus as the messiah, the remnant that received the gift of salvation thru faith in Jesus received God’s grace.  God overrode the Jews unbelief by making the Gentiles recipients of His grace.  The Gentiles should protect against pride and unbelief, The Jews shall be called as a nation, and brought into God's covenant again.   Can the creation begin to understand the wisdom, goodness, and justice of the Creator?   “33 Oh, the depth of the riches and wisdom and knowledge of God! How unsearchable are his judgments and how inscrutable his ways!

34 “For who has known the mind of the Lord,
    or who has been his counselor?”
35 “Or who has given a gift to him
    that he might be repaid?”
36 For from him and through him and to him are all things. To him be glory forever. Amen.” Romans 11:33-36, English Standard Version (ESV).  We must accept God’s gift of eternal life thru Jesus by faith. “May the God of hope fill you with all joy and peace as you trust in him, so that you may overflow with hope by the power of the Holy Spirit.” Romans 11:16-17, ESV.  Thank God for our trust in him leads to faith in Jesus whereby justification and righteousness are received as a gift.  Just as salvation is given by Jesus, we have joy and peace from the Holy Spirit by whom we are sealed.    



The Feast


Mon, March 18, 2014, Romans 11, - “The rejection of the Jews is not universal. (1-10) God overruled their unbelief for making the Gentiles partakers of gospel privileges. (11-21) The Gentiles cautioned against pride and unbelief, The Jews shall be called as a nation, and brought into God’s visible covenant again. (22-32) A solemn adoring of the wisdom, goodness, and justice of God. (33-36) – Matthew Henry Concise

16 But they have not all obeyed the gospel. For Isaiah says, “Lord, who has believed what he has heard from us?” 17 So faith comes from hearing, and hearing through the word of Christ,” Romans 11:16-17, ESV.

Faith comes from where? – Romans 10

Faith comes from where?  – Romans 10

March 17, 2013 - Romans 10




Dear  Saints,

Today we prayerfully continue our Feast in Romans 10.  The Jews tried to build on the wrong foundation. They seek to be saved by the law and works.  The foundation we are trying to build on is righteousness and faith in Jesus.  Jesus doesn’t differentiate between Jews and Gentiles in justification and salvation.  The Jews might gain understanding from Old Testament prophecies; (18-21)  “20 Then Isaiah is so bold as to say,

“I have been found by those who did not seek me;
    I have shown myself to those who did not ask for me.”
21 But of Israel he says, “All day long I have held out my hands to a disobedient and contrary people.”” Romans 10:20-21, English Standard Version (ESV).  Our faith is in Jesus not in the law or tradition.  If we expect to live by faith we must continue to feast in God’s Word; “16 But they have not all obeyed the gospel. For Isaiah says, “Lord, who has believed what he has heard from us?” 17 So faith comes from hearing, and hearing through the word of Christ,” Romans 10:16-17, ESV.  We shall endeavor to keep the first thing first; salvation and righteousness thru Jesus.  There is no other way by which we might be saved.  No other name than Jesus; by which we might be saved.   Bless you for Feasting in God’s word; where faith comes by hearing the Word!  Praise God! Our righteousness is in Jesus!  Amen?

In all churches there are arguments. We as servants of Christ Jesus must not take part. We are to teach the church about the love that Jesus has for them so they may get to know Him as their Lord and saviour. As a Christian you are to pursue righteousness, faith, love and peace so the church can and will know Jesus is within you. So I say walk in love for your fellow man…



The Feast


Sun, March 17, 2014, Romans 10, - “The apostle's earnest desire for the salvation of the Jews. (1-4) The difference between the righteousness of the law, and the righteousness of faith. (5-11) The Gentiles stand on a level with the Jews, in justification and salvation. (12-17) The Jews might know this from Old Testament prophecies. (18-21)” – Matthew Henry Concise

Saved by tradition? – Romans 9

Saved by tradition?  – Romans 9
 image
March 16, 2013 - Romans 9




Dear  Saints,

Today we prayerfully continue our Feast in Romans 9.  When I went into the military at the age of eighteen, the process by which we were inducted was like an assembly line.  There we had lines for clothing, haircuts, physicals, shots, etc… We were organized by groups and as we went through the induction process we stayed in our place just as we were organized.  The one person making my dog tags said to me; “Religion?”  To which I replied; “What are the choices?”  He looked up at me and said; “Are you Catholic?”  When I answered no he said; “Protestant” finished my dog tags and put them in my hands.  The reason I remember this I was a Christian by tradition.  Had the man said are you a Christian I would have said yes!  I knew that everyone in my family were Christians therefore so was I.  Not because of faith in Jesus however, it was because of family tradition.  “32 Why? Because they did not pursue it by faith, but as if it were based on works. They have stumbled over the stumbling stone, 33 as it is written,

 
“Behold, I am laying in Zion a stone of stumbling, and a rock of offense;
    and whoever believes in him will not be put to shame.”” Romans 9:32-33, English Standard Version (ESV).  It was ok because I thought Christianity, Jesus and heaven were more like a story told to keep people in line.  Along those lines I thought that it was a good tradition and therefore I was a Christian by birthright.  I didn’t have a relationship with Jesus that would lead to life, faith and salvation.  I was lost and it didn’t bother me because I thought I was saved by tradition, a good man. “Put on then, as God's chosen ones, holy and beloved, compassionate hearts, kindness, humility, meekness, and patience,” Colossians 3:12 ESV.  As a traditional Christian not only wasn’t I saved but I had none of the qualities mentioned in this verse.  Praise God! I didn’t die in combat; I lived until I was convinced what a miserable condition I was in. When I realized that I needed Jesus, he was there holding out his arms for me.  The truth is some treat the Church like a club that you can join if you’re invited.  If you measure up to the standard of the current club members.  There may be fellowship without faith in Jesus.  Without faith in Jesus there is there is no hope or love and no future. There is no salvation in tradition or the law.  No one is saved without a personal relationship with Jesus. 



The Feast


Sat, March 16, 2014, Romans 9, - “The apostle's concern that his countrymen were strangers to the gospel. (1-5) The promises are made good to the spiritual seed of Abraham. (6-13) Answers to objections against God's sovereign conduct, in exercising mercy and justice. (14-24) This sovereignty is in God's dealing both with Jews and Gentiles. (25-29) The falling short of the Jews is owing to their seeking justification, not by faith, but by the works of the law. (30-33)” – Matthew Henry Concise

let it be known to all of you and to all the people of Israel that by the name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth, whom you crucified, whom God raised from the dead—by him this man is standing before you well. And there is salvation in no one else, for there is no other name under heaven given among men by which we must be saved.”  Acts 4:10, 12 ESV.
