Faith

Last night I went to a meeting with Guest speaker, Bob Griffin who is a prophet.

 

There were so much spoken, imparted and taught, and encouraged.

 

One point during the meeting he was talking about Roman Catholicism and how he was brought up Catholic but that there is the obvious unbiblical teachings of the church.  He had seen a picture of people caught in caves, chained.  Some of these chains are religious.

 

I was thinking about this picture on the way home and was praying for my family.

 

As my dream in my previous post described the need to be standing upon the Rock of the revelation of Jesus Christ I was praying that for myself.  As some of my family are still very parochial Catholic and it's ways, they often send me things.

 

I often want to say I am not Catholic!  I stand upon the Rock of Jesus Christ as God's only Son - Saviour of the world - Christ the King, Lord above all god's.   Lord of all.

 

Peter was mentioned as the Apostle of Faith and I was thinking about his revelation.

 

A saying came to my thoughts and a declaration as I felt like I needed to speak it out

 

I am not under the Pope, I am under Christ, OUR HOPE!

 

Yes, Jesus is the way the truth and the life and there is no other way to heaven but through Him.

 

 

 

Jesus is Lord of Lord's and King of King's.  God has given Him full and final authority.

 

That He sits at the right hand of the Father.

 

In the Old Testament through Genesis I read how birthrights and blessings were passed down from Father to Son's through the laying on of their hands on the head of their children.  To he who would inherit the birthright and the blessing, the Right Hand of the Father would be laid upon that child and the left hand would be laid upon the other.  So I just see the picture of Jesus at the Right Hand of God as a powerful picture.  He is seated and Has defeated all His enemies.

 

So no where in scripture does it tell me to honour anyone else above Jesus.  That He is the only way to the Father..... Christ in you the hope of glory!!!  I love that scripture.

 

There is no other hope or place where we should place our hope other than in Jesus Christ

God's Son!





Miracles

You, every one of you are God the Father's special miracles. His miracle working power has given you life where there was no light or life in or of yourself.

 

He formed you and then (in Christ) He transforms you.

 

 

 

 

 

I wrote the above on my FB page and had the hashtag   #believe

 

Here I will elaborate further...

 

The scripture that I was going to add to #believe was Rom 10:13

 

For whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved

 

It is very important, although a miracle - our birth - who we are - we being thought of before time by God, and our form and frame fashioned by Him, the miracle of a new birth still awaits us.

 

Salvation in Christ.

 

Yes, He formed you and then (in Christ - the new birth) He transforms you.

 

Like the picture below

 His miracle working power has given you life where there was no light or life in or of yourself.

 

 

 

 OPEN YOUR HEART AND RECEIVE JESUS

 

 Amen

Jesus the Christ

So Jesus goes from Galilee to Judea. In the middle of the celebrated feast He goes into the temple and teaches.

 

He says, 'if any man thirst, let Him come to me and drink. He that believeth on Me, as the scripture has said, out of His belly shall flow rivers of living water. (here He was talking about receiving the Holy Spirit which would be given once He was glorified).

 

The response by those listening was...
He is the Prophet
Some said, this is the Christ
But some doubted and said, shall the Christ come out of Galilee? Has not the scriptures said, That Christ cometh of the seed of David, and out of the town of Bethlehem where David was?

 

Did they recognized something in Him; His teaching with authority and the miracles? But did they discounted it only because they didn't realize he was as the prophets had declared - The seed of David and out of the town of Bethlehem.

 

I wonder what their response would have been if they realized that the very One they were looking for was standing right in front of them?

 

I found this comment on a website and talking about the probability of only 8 prophecies about Jesus be fulfilled, with the answer as 1 in 1017...  That's 1 in 100, 000, 000, 000, 000, 000.

“The fact is, the birth, crucifixion, and bodily resurrection of Jesus Christ are celebrated worldwide by folk of every race, language, and colour, every year. And believing in Jesus, they have been delivered from the most evil, disastrous, frustrating, debilitating habits and life forms possible. The real problem with Jesus Christ is not that folk can't believe in Him—but that they won't believe in Him.” My friend, in all honesty, what are the chances you've not been altogether objective about the nature of the baby born in Bethlehem? What if the baby was God? What if He is God? What if you are to submit your life to Him?

 

 

Seeing Life through the Lens of Jesus Christ

I was just now thinking how really blessed I am. And this doesn't come because I have not had any trials or issues... but as this quote puts it....

 

Seeing life through the lens of Jesus Christ.
Some of us wear glasses. It seems that the older I become, the more my lenses seem to change. No matter what pair of glasses any of us may wear, the lenses are designed to help us to see more clearly. The metaphor of a lens is also appropriately used to help us figure out how we a...re to see life. In a nutshell, it’s why we’re spending a year studying Jesus. He is the lens through which we are to see life.

 

So, it is my 'life's journey' (not a year) to learn of Jesus, His heart and ways. Walk together, do life together, and in learning of Him and His ways I know that His perspective will take seed in my heart and become mine. I only want to see life through His eyes.

 

These thoughts started with me thinking about how blessed I am with my job. God knows the circumstances and how it fits into my life. Just recently my hours have dropped but I see that I can use the time to prepare for classes that I am now involved in.

 

God knows the future!
