Are You Being Transformed?

By

  Are You Being Transformed? Scripture: Romans 12:2, NIV “ Do not conform to the pattern of this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind. Then you will be able to test and approve what God’s will is—his good, pleasing and perfect will. ” (Romans 12: 2, NIV) God is in the life changing business. He wants to transform us into being more Christlike in all areas of our life. The first step occurs when we place our  faith and trust in Christ alone  to be our personal Lord and Savior. This is a huge step of faith for us to take. All other religions have people attempt to reach God through works of self-effort, trusting in themselves rather than trusting in the person of Jesus Christ alone to save them. Only the blood of Jesus Christ cleanses us from all sin. In Kingdom of God we learn to exercise the same faith when it comes to living the Christian life. Only Christ can live it through us, because we do not have that power in and of ourselves to live it. The expe...

Stay Fascinated With God!

  Stay Fascinated With God “Call to Me and I will answer you, and I will tell you great and mighty things, which you do not know.” — Jeremiah 33:3      Reflection Maybe you’re at a place in your life where you’re feeling stagnant. Maybe you just feel that nothing is new anymore. Nothing excites you anymore, and you’re having a hard time staying motivated. Call unto the Lord. Ask Father God to show and tell you great and wonderful things that you know not of. We can trust God to do what He said He would do. In Yeshua HaMashiach, old things pass away and all things become new. You and I are new creations in Christ Jesus. Our God is alive. He is always new, and He has given us eternal life.  If you’re feeling stuck, receive freshness in Messiah Jesus’ name. Open your heart and allow Father God to fascinate you with the wonders of His presence. Ask Him to recapture your heart, ignite in you a passion for Him, and push you deeper into the realm of eternal life. The L...

Show Me Your Ways, O God Thst I Might Know You Better!

  Show Me Your Ways, O God, That I Might Know You Better Scripture: Isaiah 64:5, NIV “You come to the help of those who gladly do right, who remember your ways.”  (Isaiah 64:5, NIV) This is an incredible statement. Almighty God will actually come to the help of those who gladly do right and remember his ways! I am awestruck when I read passages in the Bible like this. My first response is to ask, “How can this truth of Scripture operate in my life?” I want to experience it to the fullest possibility! Maybe Moses had this in mind when he said to God he wanted God to show him his ways so that he might know him, and thus, find grace or favor in his sight. After all, if we have God’s favor in this world, what else do we really need?  He will come to our aid. He will make provision for us in a multitude of ways. In fact, he will do more than we could ever ask, think, or imagine according to his immeasurable power that is at work in us and our circumstances. Passages like these...

Show Me Your Glory!

  Show Me Your Glory “Then Moses said, ‘I pray You, show me Your glory!’” — Exodus 33:18     Reflection I cannot imagine what it was like for Moses to stand with the Lord atop Mount Sinai and have his senses overwhelmed as God literally passed by him. Moses asked to see His glory, and the Lord honored his request. The Lord descended in the cloud, stood with him there, and proclaimed His name. The Lord passed by before him and said, “The LORD, the LORD God, compassionate and gracious, slow to anger, and abounding in lovingkindness and truth; who keeps lovingkindness for thousands, who forgives iniquity, transgression and sin.” (Ex 34:6-7) What Moses experienced that day atop Mount Sinai is very likely beyond our comprehension. The Lord had told him, “and it will come about, while My glory is passing by, that I will put you in the cleft of the rock and cover you with My hand until I have passed by. Then I will take My hand away and you shall see My back, but My face shall n...

The Importance of Living God’s Way!

  The Importance of Living God’s Way Scripture: Genesis 24:27, NKJV “….As for me, being in the way, the Lord led me to the house of my master’s brethren.”  (Genesis 24:27, NKJV) For our life to echo into eternity properly, we have to make sure we are on the path the Lord has established for us to follow. Most of us have experienced being lost or heading in the wrong direction because we have taken a wrong turn. Life is full of “detours” that lead us astray and hinder us from being the effective servants God wants us to be. The Lord has specific plans for each of us while we are on this side of eternity. In this passage, the servant of Abraham was sent on a mission to obtain a wife for Isaac, the son of Abraham. The servant acknowledged that the Lord had led him since he was in the way God planned for him. A practitioner of Kingdom of God  is not only focused on the mission God gives, but also is sensitive to the importance of doing things God’s way. This is another reason...

Mathew 25:14-30!

By

  September 13 Introduction Matthew 25:14–30: Jesus continues his End Times discourse with the Parable of the Three Servants (also known the “Parable of the Talents,” a “talent” being an ancient unit of currency). Three servants are put in charge of their master’s property, and two of them invest wisely. The master rewards or punishes the servants for being faithful or careless stewards of the goods entrusted to them.   Today’s Key Verse: Matthew 25:21 GNT “‘Well done, you good and faithful servant!’ said his master. ‘You have been faithful in managing small amounts, so I will put you in charge of large amounts. Come on in and share my happiness!’”   Read 14  “At that time the Kingdom of heaven will be like this. Once there was a man who was about to leave home on a trip; he called his servants and put them in charge of his property.  15  He gave to each one according to his ability: to one he gave five thousand gold coins, to another he gave two thousand, ...

Send Out the Light!

By
Image
  Send Out the Light Scripture: Psalm 43:3, NIV “ Send me your light and your faithful care, let them lead me; let them bring me to your holy mountain, to the place where you dwell. ” (Psalm 43:3, NIV) God empowers those he is using to accomplish his purposes in this world. As  Kingdom  of God thinkers, we know that Christ is the light of the world, the source of life, and the fountain of life where we must spend time  soaking our hearts  in his presence. This investment of time is needed if we are going to be effective as fragile vessels of clay to carry the light of the gospel into this lost world. Our life, our confidence, and our sufficiency are sourced in Christ. All of the promises of God find their  yes  in Jesus Christ. Christ-empowered light can only shine through us as we allow and trust the power of the cross to suppress the self-life that is so eager to manifest itself. Today, ask yourself: Am I trusting in Christ to live his life thro...
