JESUS OUR TRUE IDENTITY PART 4 All Loving and Kind As we reflect on our last week’s blog ‘The Faithful One,’ we are reminded of our Lord Jesus and Father who will never leave us and never forsake us no matter what! We discovered how secure we are in the Mighty Hands of God and how no one and nothing can ever take us out of His hands or keep us from His presence. How glorious is that! …
JESUS OUR TRUE IDENTITY PART 3 “The Faithful One” As you recall from our last week’s blog, we learned that our Father and Lord are ‘Good.’ Everything they do, no matter whether we understand, whether we concur, or whether we like the outcome, their character is ‘Good.’ We also learned, the Lord doesn’t work according to our timetable or the way we would handle life’s circumstances because He doesn’t operate in time but from an eternal vantage point of…
JESUS OUR TRUE IDENTITY PART 2 What was Our Father Really Like in the Garden of Eden? In our last blog we discussed how the enemy deceived Eve and Adam forfeited his royal identity for a lie. Remember when the enemy said, “You shall be as gods.” The truth was they were as Gods created in the image of their Father, Brother, and the Holy Spirit. We also discussed from that day until now, mankind has suffered from ‘divine…
JESUS OUR TRUE IDENTITY PART 1 I will be conducting a series of workshops in a few weeks and one is focused on ‘Our True Identity.’ I thought it was important to examine this topic in the light of the new workshops. As I explored this topic, I discovered in 2014 over 17.6 million Americans were impacted by identity theft. The thieves used Americans’ private information to incur debts by obtaining credit cards, purchasing expensive items, and other fraudulent…
JESUS OUR COMPLETOR When I woke up this morning the following scriptures came to my heart concerning MY SPIRIT, “And you are COMPLETE IN ME, which is the head over all principality and power.” Colossians 2:10. Another scripture says …that ye STAND COMPLETE in all the will of God.” Colossians 4:12. Finally, this scripture says it all concerning MY SOUL, COMING INTO THE REALITY OF MY SPIRIT, “Being confident my brethren that HE (Jesus Christ) who has begun a GOOD WORK…
JESUS OUR OCEAN OF LOVE One day as I was walking through the Kingdom of God with my Lord, I noticed a man in his late forties playing and splashing in the play pool; he was having a ball. He filled his red bucket with water then poured it over his head; he was happy and content. Then, I noticed he stretched out face down in the shallow pool and stretched out his arms, then his legs, and pretended…
JESUS OUR ESCORT TO HIMSELF In our last blog, we talked about hope and discouragement. We learned both of them speak to us and it is up to us which voice we choose to listen to. Brother Bill Freeman in his devotional, “The Supplied Life,” discussed how every situation in life was designed by our Father for one purpose; let’s see what the purpose is in the reading below: Let the Defeats Escort You “Let us, therefore, come…
JESUS OUR HOPE As I was riding down the highway of life with my Beloved Jesus one day, a stranger was hitchhiking and wanted us to stop. As we slowed down and pulled over to see what he wanted, the stranger asked, “Can I get a ride to the nearest gas station, my car ran out of gas; the gas station is only about five miles?” Since Jesus was driving, I asked him, “What do you think my Lord,…
WHAT’S EATING AT ME? I had written a different blog for this week called “Jesus Our Hope.” I was in a whimsical mood and wrote the little story to share with you, but, when I woke up this morning I felt compelled to write this important blog. In this blog, I veered away from the facet of Jesus for a moment. I decided to present a blog that will be helpful in dealing with an area we all struggle…
JESUS OUR HIDING PLACE In this blog, let’s take a deeper look at intimacy and why intimacy feels so foreign to us. Intimacy is a scary thing we dread with a vengeance! Why? Because we have been used, abused, discounted, rejected, betrayed, etc. No wonder when Jesus makes promises to us or even prove to us how much He loves us, we still will not open up fully to Him. It reminds me of us having a beautiful house,…
