TODAY I AM KINGDOM MINDED BECAUSE I AM WILLING TO DO WHATEVER GOD WOULD HAVE ME DO EVEN IF IT DOESN'T MAKE SENSE TO ME. IF GOD SAYS DO IT THAT'S WHAT I DO, IF GOD SAYS WRITE IT THAT'S WHAT I WRITE, AND IF GOD SAYS SPEAK IT THAT'S WHAT I SPEAK. I HAVE FAITH IN GOD'S WORDS THAT THEY ARE TRUE. I TRUST GOD'S WORDS THAT THEY ARE TRUE. I BELIEVE GOD'S WORDS ARE TRUE.
"BUT THE RIGHTEOUSNESS THAT IS BY FAITH SAYS: "THE WORD IS NEAR YOU; IN YOUR MOUTH AND IN YOUR HEART, THAT IS, THE WORD OF FAITH WE ARE PROCLAIMING: THAT IF YOU CONFESS WITH YOUR MOUTH, "JESUS IS LORD," AND BELIEVE IN YOUR HEART THAT GOD RAISED CHRIST FRIOM THE DEAD, YOU WILL BE SAVED. FOR IT IS WITH YOUR HEART THAT YOU BELIEVE AND ARE JUSTIFIED, AND IT IS WITH YOUR MOUTH THAT YOU CONFESS AND ARE SAVED. AS THE SCRIPTURE SAYS, "ANYONE WHO TRUST IN CHRIST WILL NEVER BE PUT TO SHAME." FOR THERE IS NO DIFFERENCE BETWEEN JEW AND GENTILE - THE SAME LORD IS LORD OF ALL AND RICHLY BLESSES ALL WHO CALL ON HIM, FOR, "EVERYONE WHO CALLS ON THE NAME OF THE LORD WILL BE SAVED." (Rom.10:6a,8-13)
CONSEQUENTLY, FAITH COMES FROM HEARING THE MESSAGE, AND THE MESSAGE IS HEARD THROUGH THE WORD OF CHRIST. (Rom.10:17)
"I AM THE LIVING BREAD THAT CAME DOWN FROM HEAVEN. WHOEVER EATS OF THIS BREAD WILL LIVE FOREVER; AND THE BREAD THAT I WILL GIVE FOR THE LIFE OF THE WORLD IS MY FLESH." (John 6:51)
JESUS' INVITATION TO ME IS TO SHARE IN HIS WAY OF ABUNDANT LIFE, IN A WORD "ABIDE".
ABIDE- YOU ARE NEVER ALONE. ABIDE- JESUS IS WITH YOU. ABIDE IN COMMUNION WITH THE ONE WHO HUGS LEPERS, EXPELS DEMONS, BREATHES WITH THE DEAD, RECUES THE FAR GONE, GOES TO PRISON, WANTS THE UNWANTED, LOVES THE SHAMED, FORGIVES THE GUILTY, SERVES THE SERVANT, BLESSES THE THIEVES, WELCOMS ALIENS, CANCELS DEBTS, LISTENS TO CHILDREN, GIVES THE BLIND KALEIDOSCOPES, THE DEAF SYMPONIES, AND THE VOICELESS A SONG. "WHAT A FRIEND I HAVE IN JESUS."
THIS IS MY PRAYER TODAY: "WHEN OTHER HELPERS FAIL AND COMFORTS FLEE, HELPER OF THE HELPLESS, OH, ABIDE IN ME." (ELW 629)
JESUS DOES ABIDE IN ME BECAUSE JESUS WORD IS INSIDE OF ME!
I HAVE FOLLOWED JESUS TO GOD THE FATHER WHO NOW TEACHES ME HOW TO LIVE LIKE JESUS, HOW TO BE A SON LIKE JESUS. WITH GOD AS MY TEACHER I HAVE NO DOUBT I WILL GET IT RIGHT.
MAY THE GOD OF PEACE, WHO THROUGH THE BLOOD OF THE ETERNAL COVENANT BROUGHT BACK FROM THE DEAD OUR LORD JESUS CHRIST, THAT GREAT SHEPHERD OF THE SHEEP, EQUIP ME WITH EVERYTHING GOOD FOR DOING GOD'S WILL, AND MAY GOD WORK IN ME WHAT IS PLEASING TO GOD, THROUGH JESUS CHRIST, TO WHOM BE GLORY FOR EVER AND EVER." AMEN! (Heb.13:20-21)
"CHRIST IS THE PATTERN FOR MY LIFE, AND GOD IS TRANSFORMING ME TO THE PATTERN. SO I SAY THANKS BE TO GOD." AMEN!
