Look to The Lord

The reason some of us are such poor examples of Christianity is that we have failed to recognize that Christ is almighty. 

We have Christian attributes and experiences, but there is no abandonment or surrender to Jesus Christ. When we get into difficult circumstances, we impoverish His ministry by saying, “Of course, He can’t do anything about this.” We struggle to reach the bottom of our own well, trying to get water for ourselves. 

Beware of sitting back, and saying, “It can’t be done.” You will know it can be done if you will look to Jesus. The well of your incompleteness runs deep, but make the effort to look away from yourself and to look toward Him.

Finished Work

At what point do we truly grab a hold of the salvation power and redemptive work of God for our lives? Why is it so difficult to receive and apply the finished work of the cross?

My real question is this: why are we so stagnant in our emotional state?  Is it that we really do not know that we are victors and that we are adopted into spiritual equity OR is it that we are much more consumed in the attention we get when we stay hurt and broken? What is more important? Our freedom or our bondage?

Knowing is half the battle, right? 
The problem is that we know that we know that we know that God is who He is, but we only believe this truth for everyone else.  For some odd reason, we don't believe the same truth for ourselves.  It gets so bad that when the victory does come, we spend a lot of words thanking the people who held us up in prayer (during our difficult times), so much more that we forget to thank God who has been our Savior, all along.

Ladies, we have to get our minds and hearts in a place that is completely and totally trusting in God; where our actions & emotions are in complete submission to the promises of God. 

We've got to believe it without a shadow of a doubt.
