Finally, whatever is true, whatever is noble, whatever is right, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is admirable – if anything is excellent or praiseworthy – think about such things. Whatever you have learned or received or heard from me, or seen in me – put it into practice. And the God of peace will be with you. Philippians 4:8-9

THERES NO BETTER TIME THAN RIGHT NOW


AS I CAME TO POST TODAY
I ASKED MYSELF, "WHAT IS THE MOST IMPORTANT THING I COULD POSSIBLY SAY...
WHAT IS THE MOST IMPORTANT THING THAT I HAVE TO SHARE OR GIVE?"
IT'S THE GOOD NEWS!
THAT THE GOD OF ALL CREATION,
WHO HAS EXISTED FROM THE BEGINNING OF TIME, AS WE KNOW IT...AND EVEN BEFORE,
HAS COME TO THIS EARTH, AND MADE HIMSELF KNOWN THROUGH HIS ONLY BEGOTTEN SON, JESUS CHRIST...
WHO WAS BORN INTO THIS LIFE BY A VIRGIN...GREW TO STATURE HAVING THE FULLNESS OF THE GODHEAD INDWELLING HIM...
HE WAS MANIFEST AS THE VERY SON OF GOD THROUGH HIS WORD AND WORKS...
HE HEALED THE SICK AND RAISED THE DEAD...
HE FULFILLED THE WORDS OF THE PROPHETS...
OPENED THE EYES OF THE SPIRITUALLY BLIND, AND UNSTOPPED THEIR EARS...THAT THEY MIGHT SEE AND KNOW THE WAY, THE TRUTH AND THE LIFE THAT EXISTED IN HIM...LEAVING THEM AND US WITH NO EXCUSE OR RIGHT TO ACCUSE HIM...
THE WORLD AND HIS DISCIPLES FORSOOK HIM...EVEN AS THOSE WHO HELD THE WORDS OF THE PROPHETS BEARING WITNESS OF HIM...
THEY HUNG HIM ON A CRUEL AND VICIOUS CROSS FOR DOING NOTHING BUT GOOD...HE DIED NOT ACCORDING TO THE DEMANDS OF CORRUPT MEN...
BUT GOD HIS FATHER SURRENDERED HIS SON, AS A LIVING SACRIFICE, WHICH WAS REQUIRED BY HIS FATHER'S OWN ETERNAL LAW TO SET US FREE FROM THE POWER OF SIN AND DEATH...FROM EVERY THING AND EVERYONE THAT WOULD SEPARATE US FROM THE LIVING AND TRUE GOD...
WITHOUT CHRIST, WE ARE BLIND AND DEAF...
WE CANNOT KNOW THE TRUTH...
WE WALK IN THE DARKNESS OF OUR HEARTS AND MINDS...FOR THEY ARE CARNAL...
AND THE CARNAL MIND CANNOT RECEIVE THE THINGS OF THE SPIRIT OF GOD...
WE MUST ASK TO BE BIRTHED BY HIS SPIRIT, INTO HIS KINGDOM, WHICH HE DESIRES TO ESTABLISH IN US...IN OUR HEART AND MIND...BY HIS SPIRIT WORD.
HE DESIRES TO SEND HIS HOLY SPIRIT TO DWELL IN US...TO REVEAL CHRIST AND GIVE US THE POWER TO BECOME HIS SONS AND DAUGHTERS...
IT'S AS SIMPLE AS ASKING AND BELIEVING...
SURRENDERING YOUR LIFE TO HIM IN TRUST AND FAITH...
HE'LL DO THE REST...
HE LOVES YOU...AND ONLY BECAUSE, THROUGH HIM, I TOO HAVE COME TO KNOW LOVE...I LOVE YOU TOO...................SHEBET.
