 The essence of something is its very nature, and when we study the essence of prayer, we must take into account how powerful it really is. Prayer is communicating with God, not simply a recital or a constant repetition where we do all the talking. If we have reduced our prayer life to this level, it has become merely words that we say. The purpose of prayer is for fellowship and communion with God. This truly connects us with Him.  To support the ministry financially, text "CDMPodcast" to 74483 or visit www.worldchangers.org.

 The world tells us to always practice good morals and to do the right thing. There is nothing wrong with this; however, we cannot achieve morality without Jesus. Our motives matter; the mistake many people make is trying to live moral lives for others’ approval, instead of for God’s approval. It is impossible to live the kind of morally upright lives God wants for us without His grace. Doing good through self-effort simply to please others is a temporary motivation that will not last; doing good because the Holy Spirit has shed God’s love in our hearts is what He really wants to see. The life produced by the teachings of grace not only has the outward manifestation, but also the right attitude toward God. Trusting Him to work in us and change us on the inside, until everything we do is motivated by love, elevates us to a level we cannot reach on our own.

Living Life on a Divine Plane pt 2

 There is a divine level of life that we can live only through the discipline of grace. This kind of life requires the presence of the Holy Spirit, who teaches us God’s morals and helps us do things that are impossible through our own human ability. He wants to take us to a higher plane that can only be lived on the supernatural level. When we got saved, God gave us the Spirit of grace as a gift; another gift we received is our salvation. God will never leave us after He saves us. He stays and continues working in us until we begin seeing positive changes in ourselves; these changes are the visible results of salvation that we are not responsible for. As believers, our dependence on the Holy Spirit to teach us morality and godliness sets us apart from others who depend on their own efforts. Developing and deepening a relationship with the Holy Ghost enables Him to lead and guide us through every situation we encounter, while teaching us the kind of lifestyle that reflects who we are in Christ.

 Christians are under severe attack from the enemy. In this spiritual battle we are fighting, our minds are the battlefield and the arena of faith. The devil relies heavily on suggestion to contradict what God has said to us; the person who does not know their God is open to deception. Not even born-again believers are exempt from Satan’s attacks; he will try to make our love grow cold so that we no longer care what the Bible says. In God’s eyes, our righteousness is not because we do right, but because of our belief in Jesus; we must not let the devil’s lies shake us from this. Jesus was the perfect and acceptable sacrifice for our sins; believing this makes us right in God’s sight, regardless of our behavior. Our trust in Christ makes us righteous before the Father, even when we do not deserve it.  To support the ministry financially, text "CDMPodcast" to 74483 or visit www.worldchangers.org.

How to Maintain Your Righteous Stance

 The coming year will be a pivotal point for Christians. The changes it will bring will include a split within the church in which people fall away from the faith and their love will grow cold. There will be plenty of slander, conflict, and offense, and people will compromise their values; however, we will recover from that. On a global level, governments will team up and become allies in preparation for the anti-Christ, whose mission it will be to destroy God’s church. On a personal level, there will be a vicious attack on our souls, in which the devil will try to get us to question our righteousness in Christ. He will use shame, guilt, and condemnation over our past mistakes and sins to accomplish this. However, our identity is based not on what we do, but on what Jesus did; standing firm on this in the midst of Satan’s attacks keeps us spiritually safe.

Maintaining Your Righteous Stance Part 2

 In these last days, we will see unprecedented global changes, but not all of them will be good. Persecution will increase as part of Satan’s targeted attack against believers and against God’s church. The enemy will use shame, guilt, and condemnation as weapons; we are to respond by standing in our righteousness and in our identity in Christ. No matter what our past looks like or what we have done, our faith in Jesus causes God to see us as holy and pure. Believing that Jesus has already taken care of our sins by the sacrifice of His body and blood takes us from being sinners to being saints. Our trust in God and in His grace gives us power over the enemy. Despite the vastness of the universe and all the places where God could have abided, He loves us so much that He chose to live in us; we must therefore never let religion talk us out of who we are in Him.
