God's Abundance In Our Life!!!

When we relate to God we always deal with abundance. God does nothing in half measures! This is also true regarding His grace. The Lord is not miserly when it comes to providing grace to His servants. When we seek to perform a good work that God has asked us to do, we will always find an ample supply of God's grace to sustain us, provided what we are doing is not of ourselves or for ourselves or our own glory and recognition.

"And God is able to make all grace abound toward you, that you, always having all sufficiency in all things, may have an abundance for every good work." 2 Corinthians 9:8.

Friends, if we begin to loose heart in the work we are doing, God's grace will uphold us, and His grace will give us the love for God and His people we require in order to continue our work. When we face criticism and are misunderstood, God's grace enables us to forgive our accusers and to sense God's pleasure even when others do not understand what we are doing! When we make mistakes in the work God has appointed us to do, God's grace forgives us, sets us back on our feet, and gives us the strength to continue the work. When we complete the task God gave us and no one expresses thanks or appreciation for what we have done, the Father's grace surrounds us, and He reminds us that we have a heavenly reward where everything we have done in the Lord's service will be remembered. The key to remember in all this is: Are we doing work God has asked us to do, or are we doing our own thing?

God does not promise to provide all we need for our own dreams and projects. He does assure us that, for every good work we attempt, we will never face a shortfall of His grace in order to successfully complete the task God has given us. But, what is the good work? Is it of you for you, or of God for God?

May God Richly Bless You Today!! H Trent!

We Are Royal Priests!!!

If you are a Christian, you are a priest, chosen by God. As members of the royal priesthood we have constant access to the King. If there is ever a need in our life, we don't have to find an intermediary or enlist another priest in order to gain a hearing from the King. Our position as royal priests allows us direct access. This privilege describes our position as a priest. "But you are a chosen generation, a royal priesthood, a holy nation, His own special people, that you may proclaim the praises of Him who called you out of darkness into His marvelous light." 1 Peter 2:9. We need to also understand that priests also have a function. It is the responsibility of a priest to work within a priesthood. Scripture does not promote the practice of individual priests, each with a separate ministry. Priests are supposed to function together. (Lev. 9:1). An unbiblical sense of individualism can isolate us from functioning within God's royal priesthood as He intend...

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...

Our Spiritual Preparation!!!

This weekend I had the pleasure of having a study lesson with an incredible teacher! She was very wise and had an incredible anointing of the Spirit upon her. One of the things that stuck with me was when she was talking about how important it is to be in God's Word and how there was a time when she couldn't sleep past 2:30 in the morning that she found herself praying deeply and pouring through God's Word in ways she had never done before. It was only later, after her husband was diagnosed with terminal cancer, that she realized that the Lord had been preparing her spirit for the trial that lay ahead. That is the key today! There is no substitute for spiritual preparation! Had she not prepared herself through God and His word, she wouldn't have had near the courage or strength to go through what lay before her. Spiritual preparation equips us for unforeseen crises or opportunities. However, if we are unprepared spiritually, we will be vulnerable to life's unexpecte...
