Exchange Your Life!!!

Did you know that the Christian life is an exchanged life? Jesus' life for your life. When you give Christ control of your life, your life will take on dimensions you would never have known apart from Him.

"I have been crucified with Christ and I no longer live, but Christ lives in me. The life I live in the body, I live by faith in the Son of God, who loved me and gave Himself for me." Galatians 2:20

When we are weak, Christ demonstrates His strength in our life. When we face situations that are beyond our comprehension, we have only to ask, and the infinite wisdom of God is available to us. When we are faced with humanly impossible situations, God does the impossible. When we encounter people we find difficult to love, God expresses His unconditional love through us. When we are at a loss as to what we should pray for someone else, His Spirit will guide us in our prayer life. When Christ take up residence in the life of a believer, "All the fullness of God" is available to that believer!

It is awesomely freeing to know that God controls your life and knows what it can become! Instead of constantly worrying about what we will face, as many of us do, our challenge should be to continually release every area of our life to God's control. The temptation will be to try to d by ourselves only what God can do.

Friends, our assignment is to "abide in the vine" and to allow God to do in and through us what only He can do. Remember, only God can be God! Allow God to live out His divine life through you. He is the only One who can. It takes discipline, but once you give control of you life over to Christ completely, you will start to enjoy the abundant life He has in store for us all!

May God richly bless you today!! H Trent!

Thinking About Calling Down Fire!?!

James and John were refered to as "the Sons of Thunder" in the Bible. When they discovered a Samaritan village that would not receive Jesus, they were fully prepared to call down fire to consume the entire community. "And when His disciples James and John saw this, they said, "Lord, do You want us to command fire to come down from heaven and consume them, just as Elijah did?" Luke 9:54. Maybe they felt that through such a show of power, the gospel message might be enhanced. The two brothers were willing to sacrifice the lives of the village in order to further the cause of the gospel. However, Jesus rebuked them! Later, the apostles heard that Samaria had responded to the gospel. Guess who was commissioned to go and help them receive the Holy Spirit? None other but Peter and John! It was God's purpose that the people not be destroyed but saved! God chose not to rain down fire on the village, but to shower it with His Holy Spirit! I wonder what w...

It Is Our Life!!!

One of the things that I find puzzling and troubling today is that so many of us Christians try to live the Christian life in this world today, without reading our Bibles! Many of us will occasionally give it a sporadic look, seeking a pithy thought to help us get through our day. This is sad. The Word of God is not merely a source of helpful suggestions, preventative warnings, or even inspirational thoughts . The Word of God is life itself! But, oh how foolish that many of us are, having the words of life right at our fingertips, and still not bothering to make time to sit down and go through it's pages. "For it is not a futile thing for you, because it is your life, and by this word you shall prolong your days in the land which you cross over the Jordan to possess." Deuteronomy 32:47. God gathered the nation of Israel at the edge of the Promised Land to review their pilgrimage with Him. They had just spent 40 years wandering the desert, on a journey that should have...

Into A Storm!!!

There are many believers today that think that because they are in Christ, they are free from trials and tribulations. Life will always be good. However, there are going to be times when storms will come to us. Some of those storms will be the result of the choices we have made, some of them will come as a result of attacks by others, some will come for reasons we don't understand, but some storms will come because Jesus has sent us into them. Consider our passage today: "Immediately Jesus made the disciples get into the boat and go on ahead of Him to the other side, while He dismissed the crowd. After He had dismissed them, He went up on a mountainside by Himself to pray. When evening came, He was there alone, but the boat was already a considerable distance from land, buffeted by the waves because the wind was against it." Matthew 14:22-24 The disciples were commanded to get into a boat and go across the lake without the physical presence of Christ. They coul...
