The Lord Jesus wants to set us free. He truly does! He wants to liberate us. And we are so grateful for the amazing new message on binding and loosing, the keys to the kingdom that Christ gave the Church to help set the captives free.
Do you look at warfare in this life, like the ability to bind and loose, as coming from a place of strength? Is it strength that you seek to fight the enemy? Perhaps we're upside down in our prayers and how we perceive the Christian life we're called to live.
We serve the God who makes all things new, and that includes our understanding as we grow and mature as believers. Join Martha and John as they share some of the new understanding of warfare that the Lord has provided, in binding and loosing especially.
Heaven always leads the way when it comes to binding and loosing. Just as Jesus did with His Father, we follow heaven's lead in all things, including this. What a relief to know that we are not the initiators of what must be bound and what must be loosed!
What are the Keys to the Kingdom of Heaven that Jesus gave to the church in Matthew 18? Is the church using them as Christ intended we should? Or have we misunderstood the most important part of the authoritative gift that Jesus gave to us?
When you make it your determined purpose to know God, He will put a song in your heart even in the midst of sickness and great difficulty. That's who He is! This is God the glorious Father, and we need to know Him. What wonders do we miss when we don't?
If you make it your determined purpose to know God, all of your suffering will serve that purpose. As illustrated in a beautiful revelation of Job and his great suffering, it takes a lifetime just to glimpse a small part of the great Mystery of God!
In times of trouble or difficulty, whether it's personal or that of a loved one, are we looking at God? Are we watching the Good Shepherd love His sheep? There's no harder time to raise our eyes but we will be made rich beyond compare if we do so!
If you find the Christian life dull or boring or lacking in anything fun, there's a big problem. Coming to know God, to love and be loved by our real Father is THE great adventure! Don't settle for knowing ABOUT Christ, or you'll miss knowing HIM.
Paul said, "My determined purpose is that I may know Him." Paul's chosen, heart-set goal was to know Jesus Christ intimately and in all things. What is your determined purpose in this life? What have you set your heart to pursue each and every day?
