I bring Grace and Peace to each one of you in the name of
Jesus the Savior of the world!
There has been a picture going around on the web that shows
the back of a person’s head with a open window, prison bars, and a person
inside grabbing hold of those bars, the caption reading… “You will never be free
until you free yourself from the prison of your own false thoughts”
This is so true for most people even Christians who have believed
the untruth about them, filled with the “What Ifs” in life and who don’t know
or have forgot who they truly are in Christ Jesus.
For just a moment I want you to take a deep breath and rest
in the arms of God and see what He truly has and wants for you. I will first go to the words of Jesus in
Matthew 6:25-27 reading from the NIV translation;
“Therefore
I tell you, do not worry about your life, what you will eat or drink; or
about your body, what you will wear. Is not life more than food, and the body
more than clothes? Look at the birds of the air; they do not sow or
reap or store away in barns, and yet your heavenly Father feeds them. Are you not much more valuable
than they? Can any one of you by worrying add
a single hour to your life?”
As I
stated in my earlier writings that God continually reminds me of this so much
that I have grown to have a fascination of birds. Today I want you to know that you are much
more valuable than they! With this I am
going to hit three points to help you know and become what God has for
you. The first is Reality, the second Initiative,
and the third Provision.
First
we start with Reality in 1st John 5:13-15 - The (MSG) John the Apostle states;
[The Reality,
Not the Illusion] My purpose in
writing is simply this: that you who believe in God’s Son will know beyond the
shadow of a doubt that you have eternal life, the reality and not the illusion. And how bold
and free we then become in his presence, freely asking according to his will,
sure that he’s listening. And if we’re confident that he’s listening, we know
that what we've asked for is as good as ours.”
It is a reality and not an
illusion that Jesus sits now with the father and that God’s plan fulfilled is
for each one of us to live in the inheritance of what He has for us. God’s – Reality is for you to live above and
to have all that you ever need or ask for.
When God opens a door you have to
take the step and walk through it. When opportunity arises you have to be in the
mindset to take action. This does not
mean to take action on your own. It does
mean to take action with God.
“Here is a simple,
rule-of-thumb guide for behavior: Ask yourself what you want people to do for
you, then grab the initiative and
do it for them. Add
up God’s Law and Prophets and this is what you get. Matthew 7:12 – The (MSG)
Teaming up with God’s - initiative
will always produce results, way more than you could ever accomplish on your
own.
The third and one of the most
profound is provision. The first thing
that comes to mind when thinking of God’s provision is “God My Provider”! God’s
– Provision is endless once you tap into who you really are in Christ, you can
break those bars down and free yourself of all that keeps you in bondage. Worry, strife, fear, religion, lies and deceit
is the only holds that the defeated satan can use to keep you from the true
blessings that God has for you!
God wants you to live and
breath in the paradise that he has created here on earth for you! Take
ownership of this passage in Joshua and make it yours!
Haven’t I commanded you?
Strength! Courage! Don’t be timid; don’t get discouraged. God, your God, is with you every step you take.” Joshua
1:9 - The (MSG)
Jesus said; A thief is only there to steal and kill
and destroy. I came so they can have real and eternal life, more and better
life than they ever dreamed of. John 10:10 The (MSG)
Become the person God has created you to be; sons,
daughters, grab hold of your inheritance and live in God's Reality, God's
Initiative, and God’s Provisions!
God Loves You! Grace BE!
