Steps To Know Christ's Victory
What must one do to know the victory of Christ? This is in essence the question that Moses asked God, "Show me Your ways that I may know You." God laid out to Moses the necessary path, and things pertaining to knowing Him. Likewise, to know Christ's victory we must come Christ's way.
In The Spirit By The Spirit
The believer, at the moment of his salvation, the new birth, is placed into living union with Christ by the Spirit. The purpose of this is not only to save the soul for time and eternity, but to provide the believer with the blessed possibility and realization of a life lived by the Spirit of Christ. The Spirit reveals Christ to heart and empowers the believer to live by faith in Christ as his life.
Christ Our Life
What does Scripture mean when it declares that Christ is our Life. First of all, it is implying that without Christ, we have no life, eternal Life. At conversion, Christ by His Spirit comes to indwell the heart. The purpose of this is so the believer can learn, and be enabled, to appropriate Christ for every need. In the measure of his faith, the believer can and will live increasingly by faith IN Christ for all things.
Then I Remembered The Lord
There are times when we forget whom we serve. We forget that He is God, and that He never fails. He also delights to answer us when we call and come with healing in His wings. So, let us be mindful daily Him, interposing Him between us and all that comes our way. The Lord saw that Jonah remembered Him and then answered his cry to be saved from the belly of the fish. He waits to answer those who remember Him, and who call upon Him.
The True Preacher
The true preacher is one who is sent by God to deliver a message from God by the Spirit, and according to the truth. He is also one anointed by God, called to fulfill this mission. Only as he is shut up to his Lord and Savior, can he receive all that is necessary to fulfill his ministry in the power and demonstration of the Spirit
The Pivotal Portrait Of Christ
How do we see Christ? Is our vision of Him clear and concise, balanced and accurate according to the Scriptures. There is only one way to see Jesus aright, and it is by the Holy Spirit, revealing Him to our hearts and minds through the Scriptures. When trusted fully, the Spirit of God takes the great truths of Christ and reveals them to us in the measure that we are able to receive them, always clear and concise in truth.
The Key To A Psalmist's Life
The basis for the Psalmist's life before and with God was the true fellowship he had with God. This was experienced by the God-given faith in the faithfulness of God according to His promises, not only to lead the believer according to the truth, but to reveal Himself to the heart through the Scriptures by the Spirit.
Be Ready In The Morning
The call of Christ is a call to fellowship with Him. Where does it begin? In the morning, when the soul and heart are fresh and ready to meet Him in His word, waiting upon Him in prayer and faith. It the act and attitude of worshipping Christ, in Spirit and truth, He reveals Himself to the heart and soul. The believer always needs to be ready to meet Him in the morning.
The Mission Of Christ And His Church
When Christ died on Calvary, not only did He pronounce His work "finished," but it was by His declaration, completed perfectly. The work of redemption was done. Since then, it has been the will of God for that message and power to reach to the ends of the earth by His Spirit, working mightily in and through His church. Making disciples of all nations is the great objective, or mission Christ and His living body, the church.
The Faithful Calling Of God
The calling of God, as are His gifts, is irrevocable. The born-again believer in Christ is one who possesses a calling from God, along with the gifts to accomplish it. All is possible by the power of the Spirit of God when there is the pursuit of Christ according to that calling. He is faithful to meet the needs of His servants, and children, according to His calling.
