To God be The glory, Amen

Wow! There is so much in Romans 8! I started off sharing a verse, it went to two, then three! The whole Chapter is filled with blessings, lessons, guidance and Life. Definitely God’s Word is The Path to eternity bathed in God’s glory. I will start with this, an awesome day, not a cloud in sight, the brightest of sunlight, you are calm, at peace, without a worry… A dream you say! How about if this is no comparison with what we will experience in the presence of The Creator? Wait! Our Father? Could it be? We are at the same level as our Savior? But you say, “He did so much! What did I do but believe?” A very frank question.

Romans 8:17 says: “Now if we are children, then we are heirs—heirs of God and co-heirs with Christ, if indeed we share in his sufferings in order that we may also share in His glory.” Trials, temptation? Yes. But, we are covered!
The blood of Jesus provides the only solution to our greatest problem. We were born into a fallen world, resigned to participate in a degenerate existence with no hope of recovery. The pain of sin and death immediately attached itself to us and put into perpetual motion the ravages of death, each day drawing us closer to our eternal demise. Even our own will separated us from God, would be owned by our greatest enemy to disseminate deceit and to seal our fate. Apart from the redeeming power of the blood of Jesus Christ, we were doomed. But God demonstrated His own Love for us in that while we were still sinners, Christ died for us (Romans 5:8). Our biggest problem solved!

The blood of Jesus has the power to release the grip of the great curse, the ramifications for that are immeasurable. I have provided a list below, along with a single verse for each item to get you started on your journey through the richness of each glorious truth.

My debt is paid, once and for all!
“So Christ was offered once to bear the sins of many. To those who eagerly wait for Him He will appear a second time, apart from sin, for salvation.” (Hebrews 9:28)

I am justified!
“Much more then, having now been justified by His blood, we shall be saved from wrath through Him. “ (Romans 5:9)

I am forgiven!
“In Him we have redemption through His blood, the forgiveness of sins, according to the riches of His grace” (Ephesians 1:7)

I am spared from God’s wrath!
“Much more then, having now been justified by His blood, we shall be saved from wrath through Him. “ (Romans 5:9)

I am being spiritually healed; one day even my flesh will be replaced with an incorruptible body!
“…who Himself bore our sins in His own body on the tree, that we, having died to sin, might live for righteousness—by whose stripes you were healed.” (I Peter 2:24)

I am spiritually alive!
“Then Jesus said to them, ‘Most assuredly, I say to you, unless you eat the flesh of the Son of Man and drink His blood, you have no life in you.’” (John 6:53)

My judgment has been satisfied and I am at peace with God!
“But He was wounded for our transgressions, He was bruised for our iniquities; the chastisement for our peace was upon Him, and by His stripes we are healed.” (Isaiah 53:5)

What, then, shall we say in response to these things? If God is for us, who can be against us?
He who did not spare His own Son, but gave Him up for us all—how will He not also, along with Jesus, graciously give us all things?
Romans 8 is rich, so rich! With promise, it drips with drops of God’s GLORY!
Our God is an awesome God, He reigns from Heaven above with wisdom, power and Love! Our GOD is an awesome God!

I want to share Romans 8. Read it and get pumped! Amen

Can you wait?
What is patience? A fruit of the Spirit?
Our soul waiteth for The LORD: He is our help and our shield. For our heart shall rejoice in Him, because we have trusted in His holy Name. Psalm 33:20,21

I trust in The LORD, without Him- my all is gone. I give Him all GLORY, Honor and Praise. Today, each day is a testimony of His grace. Glory to The Creator of all. Without His grace, we are nought. He is Love, try as we might, there is paucity in describing Him. To God be The GLORY in EVERY step that we take and every move that we make, In Jesus’ Name, Amen.
We were born in sin, we grew up in sin. Yet, we after the ‘age of accountability’ are responsible for the decisions we make. What is ‘accountability?’ We can surmise that the age of accountability is around 12 or 13 due to this being the age when Jesus went up to Jerusalem with His parents and was found in the temple discussing the Law and asking questions.
This was also the normal age for being received into Judaism as a “son of the law,” which would make him a full member of the religious community.
So, we stand learned. To God be The GLORY! We are accountable for our going outs and coming ins. https://bible.knowing-jesus.com/topics/Going-Out-And-Coming-In
Behold, the eye of The LORD is upon them that fear Him, upon them that hope in His mercy;
To deliver their soul from death, and to keep them alive in famine.
Our soul waiteth for the LORD: He is our help and our shield.
For our heart shall rejoice in Him, because we have trusted in His holy name.
Let Thy mercy, O LORD, be upon us, according as we hope in Thee.
Psalm 33:18-22

We hope, we faith, we pray always. There is no end to prayer. We have a Father Who knows all and sees all. “Nothing in all creation is hidden from God’s sight. Everything is uncovered and laid bare before the eyes of Him to whom we must give account.” Hebrews 4:13
https://bible.knowing-jesus.com/topics/God,-All-Knowing

We must remember that the angel of The LORD encamp around those who fear The LORD! So, all is known in the Spirit.

“The angel of The Lord encamps around those who fear Him,
and He delivers them. Thus, we can
can “Taste and see that The LORD is good;
blessed is the one who takes refuge in Him.”
Psalm 34:7-8

IN all your ways, acknowledge Him and be blessed.

 

“Repent, then, and turn to God, so that your sins may be wiped out, so that times of refreshing may come from the Lord.” —Acts 3:19

The Word tells us that all have sinned and fallen short of the Glory of God. We are also reminded that we were born into sin/shaped in iniquity and that not one of us is righteous. The only sinless one to grace this Earth, this existence, was our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. Yet we still judge, we still sin, and we continue to fall short. But His grace is sufficient to cover a multitude of sin if we confess our sins, repent, ask for His forgiveness, dedicate the remainder of our life in His service, accept Jesus as Lord over our lives and work each day to sin-less by seeking His guidance through prayer, worship, relationship and praise.

So why do we hesitate? Why do we hide our sin? Why do we run and try to hide from God? He, who knew us before we were ever conceived! He knew each time we would sin, how and why we would sin but He was still faithful unto us to allow us to be born? Why? Because He also knew that He gave us free will to, when confronted with our sin, to repent, ask for His forgiveness and turn from our wicked ways. Sin is not something that we stop doing all at once. No! God takes us from Glory to Glory as He reshapes us, reforms us and Burns off our sin nature, bit-by-bit. This is done as we study The Word of God. By that process, He grows, matures and perfects us, His bride, for the day of His return.

So, don’t hide from God—you simply cannot! Don’t bury your sin—He has already seen it in real time! Simply fall to your knees, and confess all to Him for in so doing, He is just to forgive us. To restart ‘the clock’ on our lives and begin to both refresh our spirit with more of His and  give us His favor and send His blessings to us in our new life.

Don’t delay!!! Repent so that what He has stored up for you in Heaven, can be released to you here on Earth so that you might be empowered to live life more abundantly as you serve Him.

We thank you Father for your mercy and forgiveness. Give us courage and strength to face our transgressions with the knowledge that in seeking your forgiveness that you will forgive us, cast our sins into the Sea of Forgetfulness, restart the clock on our lives so that we might walk in the fullness of your Love!  In Jesus’ Mighty Name we pray, Amen 🙏🏽

“The LORD rewarded me according to my righteousness; according to the cleanness of my hands hath He recompensed me. For I have kept the ways of The LORD, and have not wickedly departed from my God. For all His judgments were before me, and I did not put away His statutes from me. I was also upright before Him, and I kept myself from mine iniquity. Therefore hath The LORD recompensed me according to my righteousness, according to the cleanness of my hands in His eyesight. Amen”
Psalm 18:20-24

A gift of gold is expensive, a gift of money is well appreciated, but the gift of being alive is priceless. Only the living celebrate it. As the cloud stands without a pillar, the ocean moves without an engine, the rain falls without a pump, so will your source of blessing be a mystery to men. Have a good day/week ahead and be a blessing to all.

We have shared and said “Jesus set the world anew!” Check this out:
“At that moment the curtain in the sanctuary of the Temple was torn in two, from top to bottom. The earth shook, rocks split apart, …”
–Matthew 27:51
Do we know what happened to cause this?
LORD, thank You for setting a new reign, for blessing us with Your presence. ALL was changed on Your living as we do, serving as some of us might find challenging. Be glorified Father for setting ‘time’ back. We do not live as Adam and Eve before the fall. In You we have fullness of each part of our lives in Jesus’ name. Guide us, directs us, walk with us as we do your will in Jesus’ name, Amen
