Mark 11: 22, 23  |  22 And Jesus answering said unto them, Have faith in God constantly 23 Truly I tell you, whoever says to this mountain, Be lifted up and thrown into the sea! and does not doubt at all in his heart but believes that what he says will take place, it will be done for him.  

 

.The first of these was a lesson about faith: (literally) “Be having faith in God.” The drying up of the fig tree had amazed the disciples;  Jesus wanted them to understand that the truly amazing works are those done as a result of exercising faith in God. There are no limits on what can be accomplished as a result of one's faith in God, simply because there are no limits on what God can do and human faith provokes God to act. Mark 10:27 has already insisted that “with God all things are possible.” 

 

A key factor in this promise lies in the words  “does not doubt in his heart but believes that what he says will come to pass.” The verb “doubt” diakrino in the Greek,  means, the same as “wavering” in James 1:6, linked with “double-mindedness” in v. 8. In other words, the condition for receiving what one prays for is faith—clearly stated, not implied. 

 

Then whatever a person can express in unwavering faith will be done.

The believer’s life is characterized by faith in what they cannot see.  Regardless of circumstances, the believer should seek to please the Lord. The believer will receive reward or censure for their actions in this life.

2 Corinthians 4:15–18  |  15 For all these things are taking place for your sake, so that the more grace, divine favor and spiritual blessing extends to more and more people and multiplies through the many, the more thanksgiving may increase and rebound to the glory of God.

16 Therefore we do not become discouraged (utterly spiritless, exhausted, and wearied out through fear). Though our outer man is progressively decaying and wasting away, yet our inner self is being progressively renewed day after day.

17 For our light, momentary affliction (this slight distress of the passing hour) is ever more and more abundantly preparing and producing and achieving for us an everlasting weight of glory beyond all measure, excessively surpassing all comparisons and all calculations, a vast and transcendent glory and blessedness never to cease!,

 

18 Since we consider and look not to the things that are seen but to the things that are unseen; for the things that are visible are temporal (brief and fleeting), but the things that are invisible are deathless and everlasting.

 

Second Corinthians 5:6-7   6So then, we are always full of good and hopeful and confident courage; we know that while we are at home in the body, we are abroad from the home with the Lord that is promised us.  7For we walk by faith, that is, we pregulate our lives and conduct ourselves by our conviction or belief respecting man’s relationship to God and divine things, with trust and holy fervor; thus we walk not by sight or appearance.

The Lord is my Light and my Salvation—whom shall I fear or dread? The Lord is the Refuge and Stronghold of my life—of whom shall I be afraid? | Psalm 27: 1

 

How vast, how numerous, how complicated are the various events and circumstances which attend our lives, and how fearful our hearts may seem!  But if all things as well as all persons are put under Jesus’ feet, there cannot be a single circumstance over which He has not supreme control.  Everything in providence and everything in grace are alike subject to His disposal.  There is not a trial or temptation, an affliction of body or soul, a loss, a cross, a painful bereavement, a vexation, grief or disappointment, a case, state or condition, which is not put under Jesus’ feet.  He has sovereign, supreme disposal over all events and circumstances.  As possessed of infinite knowledge He sees them, as possessed of infinite wisdom He can manage them, and as possessed of infinite power He can dispose and direct them for our good and His own glory.  How much trouble and anxiety should we save ourselves, could we firmly believe, realize, and act on this!  If we could see by the eye of faith that every foe and every fear, every difficulty and perplexity, every trying or painful circumstance, every looked-for or unlooked-for event, every source of care, whether at present or in prospect, are all, as put under His feet, at His sovereign disposal, what a load of anxiety and care would be often taken off our shoulders!

Therefore if any man be in Christ, he is a new creature: old things are passed away; behold, all things are become new.—2 Corinthians 5:17  

 

God regenerates our spirit but our minds are renewed by the Word of God. He has also put healing ministries in the church to aid your body and mind and opened the way to the throne of grace where we can enter in prayer according to scripture.  Sacred Scripture tells us what God’s will is and healing scriptures guide us.  God requires faith and scripture will build our faith. It is especially important to go scripture daily to triumph over pain and fear.    

 

Christianity is often called “The Great Confession.” All things in Christ—salvation, healing, deliverance—are dependent upon the confession with our lips of Jesus’ lordship. Paul said to Timothy, “You…have confessed the good confession in the presence of many witnesses” (1 Timothy 6:12).

Passionate, Specific Prayer                      12/2/2021 Thursday

My feeble hand lies in His.  His omnipotent hand is clasped around mine.   I am helpless and He is all powerful and knowing.  Sensitivity requires listening to the Lord as a vital part of enjoying intimate fellowship with Him.  (John 8:28-29). The ability to hear His voice is an absolute essential for the Christian life.  Jesus is the Way, the Truth and the Life .  No matter what the ups and downs of life are, fellowship with Him transcends them all.  We have to listen to God in our spirit.  God speaks to us in spiritual influences and we listen or focus on this spiritual communication Asking, Seeking and Knocking Matthew 7:7-8

 

 A person who hears the voice of the Lord will be equipped to make wise decisions (Eph. 5:15, 17). But learning to listen to God rarely happens without an individual deliberately seeking Him through prayer and solitude. If you want this quality, you must make spending time with the Father a priority.

Scripture: Through studying the Bible, we can learn how to please the Lord and what attitudes and actions to avoid (Ephesians 4:17-18).

Supplication: Passionate, specific prayer is essential in walking with God. A person who is building an intimate relationship with the Father must talk to Him and listen to His voice. Jesus often withdrew by Himself to pray in the early morning hours (Mark 1:35). If it was important for the Son of God to connect with the Lord, how much more important is it for us to start the day with prayer? When you wake up, thank God He has a plan for your life. Each morning He is present to take you through everything—this gives us joy, peace and purpose—as we are walking in unity with Jesus. Life will not always be easy nor will it always go according to your expectations, but God will bring spiritual benefits out of any negative circumstances you face (Rom. 8:28). For instance, the apostle Paul might have never written the letters that became part of our Bible if he had not been imprisoned for his faith. He is omniscient and knows all things in the past, present, and future. The Lord sees every aspect of our lives, including our needs and desires. In His great wisdom, He understands what’s best for us. His divine schedule for our lives is always perfect and achieves His good purposes.

God Gives all Things Through Jesus   Wednesday  Dec. 1, 2021

 

He who did not spare His own Son, but delivered Him up for us all, how shall He not with Him also freely give us all things?     |   ROMANS 8:32

 

You can depend on God. You can count on His loving provision as a fact because you know how much He gave to solve the greatest problem you have—the sin that separated you from His presence  |  ISAIAH 59:2

 

The Father understood your deep need to have a relationship with Him, so He gave no less than the One “far above . . . every name that is named” (Ephesians 1:21), His only Son, Jesus. If He would give His own precious Son so you could know Him, why is it you doubt He would want to help you with what you face? Of course your problem matters to Him—because it means so much to you.

 

The truth of the matter is, the God of all creation, the Great I AM, the King of kings and Lord of lords loves you. And He is wholeheartedly committed to you. So listen to Him and trust Him to help you with whatever you need today.

 

God says that the knowledge of God is in the heart: “I will give them a heart to know that I am the Lord”  Jeremiah 24: 7

The Exchange at the Cross            Tuesday  11/30/2021

Once we have been translated out of the Kingdom of Darkness and into the Kingdom of God's Dear Son, we begin to prosper due to Jesus taking the curse for us that came about due to our alienation from God—the Way, the Truth and the Life.

 

On the Cross the Son of God enters into the greatest union with man—He enters into the experience of what it means to be a human person, who is a member of a race under the curse. It is in death that the Prince of life conquers the power of death; it is in death alone that He can enable us to partake of that victory. The life He imparts is a life from the dead; each new experience of the power of that life depends upon the fellowship of the death where the sinful nature is crucified with Christ. The death and the life are inseparable. All of the grace that Jesus the Saving One gives is given only in the path of fellowship with Jesus the Crucified One.

 

Galatians 2:20-21 |  “My old identity has been co-crucified with Messiah and no longer lives; for the nails of His cross crucified me with Him. And now the essence of this new life is no longer mine, for the Anointed One lives His life through me—we live in union as one! My new life is empowered by the faith of the Son of God who loves me so much that he gave himself for me, and dispenses His life into mine! “So that is why I don’t view God’s grace as something minor or peripheral. For if keeping the law could release God’s righteousness to us, the Anointed One would have died for nothing.”

The Blessing of Abraham is the gracious heavenly gift that Abraham received as part of God’s plan to create a new nation on earth.

 

God’s blessing to Abraham is recorded in Genesis 12:1–3: “The Lord had said to Abram, ‘Go from your country, your people and your father’s household to the land I will show you.

 

“‘I will make you into a great nation, and I will bless you; I will make your name great, and you will be a blessing. I will bless those who bless you, and whoever curses you I will curse; and all peoples on earth will be blessed through you.’”

 

Here, Abraham is blessed, and that blessing includes the promise that he will have a great name (reputation) and that he would become a great nation (have many descendants). God will bless those who bless him; furthermore, Abraham will be a blessing. Through Abraham all nations on earth will be blessed. The blessing of Abraham finds its ultimate fulfillment in Jesus Christ, the “Seed” of Abraham (Galatians 3:16) and the Redeemer of the world.

Commit Your Way to the LORD - Friday

 

Psalm 37 |  3 Trust, lean on, rely on, and be confident) in the Lord and do good; so shall you dwell in the land and feed surely on His faithfulness, and truly you shall be fed.
