For some reason God has put in my
HEART to share my devotions...
so here is another...
(Phillipians 3:1-11)
The sacrafice Christ made when he came down to
earth to save me from Eternal Death. is exactly
what keeps me going each and every day
because i know what he's promised me.
Love, Peace, Joy, Wisdom, Protection, Happiness
that will never end, and the best of them all
Eternal Life In Heaven With Him =)
fact: i am free and liberated through Christ. I am no
longer in bondage. No longer captured by sin.
i remember a minister from my church (p4cm.com)
using this analogy...so ill kindof put it into my own words
"Like a monkey with his hand stuck in a bottle because
he wont let go of whats inside, only later to be captured"
(if only he would of just let go; he would've got away)
in my case; i LET GO of EVERYTHING sinful
EVERYTHING holding me back. even the "secret sins"
that we think no one know's about... pride, hate in our hearts, etc
forgetting that God is all seeing, all knowing...HE KNOWS what we
can HIDE from others..."IM FREE"
i may have lost all the things i valued or i thought
i couldnt live without. but compared to Christ and what
he done for me (and is still doing in my life) those THINGS
are nothing more than lint on black that can easily be
removed with a lint brush/roller and discarded into the garbage can.
never to be worried about again. so i guess you can say Christ
became my ling brush/roller. he removed every piece of lint (sin)
that was inappropriate for the person he has created me to become.
He's continuing to change my outlook on the things of this world
i thought i needed. i no longer go by what i think OR what i think
i know. but i go by every word God has spoken and still speaks to me.
i dont "just" follow instructions. but i have a personal relationship
with God, so i follow HIM. i have faith in the things God has done,
doing, and is going to do in the future. so im ready for whatever
satan/world throws my way, because God is almights and powerful
and he's on my side; so ive already WON...
(personal prayer...)
dear God i thank you for being just in everything you do.
i know that what you have promised those who know, trust, love, and follow you
is just you being modest. Lord i pray that you continue to show me who you are
and that you continue to show me myself (even when i dont like what i see;
especially when i dont like what i see) i ask that you continue to change me, that
you continue to give me an open heart to recieve the change. i ask that i fall inlove
with you again everday; make knowing you NEW to me every day/ each time
im in your word. help me to stay focused on you God. in Jesus name AMEN
