Up Again
With the arrival of Jesus, the Messiah, that fateful dilemma is resolved. Those who enter into Christ’s being-here-for-us no longer have to live under a continuous, low-lying black cloud. A new power is in operation. The Spirit of life in Christ, like a strong wind, has magnificently cleared the air, freeing you from a fated lifetime of brutal tyranny at the hands of sin and death.              …

Matthew 1:1, 17 (NIV). “This is the genealogy of Jesus the Messiah the son of David, the son of Abraham: Thus there were fourteen generations in all from Abraham to David, fourteen from David to the exile to Babylon, and fourteen from the exile to the Messiah.”
Romans 8:15 (NLT). “So you have not received a spirit that makes you fearful slaves. Instead, you received God’s Spirit when he adopted you as his own children. Now we call him, “Abba, Father.”
2 Corinthians 1:21‭-‬22 (NLT).“It is God who enables us, along with you, to stand firm for Christ. He has commissioned us, and he has identified us as his own by placing the Holy Spirit in our hearts as the first installment that guarantees everything he has promised us.”
“A Promise Kept” By In Touch Ministries:
“God has been transforming lives throughout history and will do the same today for anyone who trusts Him.”
“The first chapter of Matthew’s gospel records the lineage of Jesus. Starting with Isaac, the miracle child born to Abraham, there are 42 generations until the universe-altering event of the Savior’s birth. Among the names listed, there are schemers, prostitutes, murderers, kings, and idol worshippers. Many of these men and women had their lives transformed by God and, by His miraculous workings, were given a place of honor in the ancestry of Christ.
The same God who orchestrated it all is the one who promises us eternal life through His Son Jesus Christ. The Bible records God’s faithfulness in keeping promises made to us, His children. He has reassured us that we who are born again have a place in His family (Romans 8:15). And the Holy Spirit has been given to us as a pledge, ensuring we will receive our eternal inheritance (2 Corinthians 1:21-22).
We need only enter into a personal relationship with Christ. There are no additional specifications to meet, and God’s blessings belong to us the instant we become His children. Our Father has promised, and we can count on Him.”

"I'm Not Good Enough" is Only One of the Lies
“I’m not good enough” is only one of the lies we tell ourselves. Moreover, this is what I told myself most of my life along with other lies like “You’re not good enough”, “You’ll never amount to anything”, “You’re too fat”, “You’re not pretty enough”, and the like. What Lies Do You Tell Yourself? I guess the point that I’m trying to make is that these are lies. So, why did I continue to believe…

Isaiah's outline of the steps to forgiveness
Isaiah’s outline of the steps to forgiveness
Today we will be looking at the core Bible principle of forgiveness, and how we have the ability, through faith in Messiah, to gain the privilege of being reconciled with our Maker when we recognize that our lives are not in alignment with his purposes. To accomplish this, we must repent of those things that are outside of his will for us. Isaiah 55:7 – Let wicked people abandon their ways. Let…

Isaiah 10: Discipline Versus Destruction
What lay ahead would be a devastating ordeal, yet God did not want God’s people to be afraid, for their crucible would soon pass, and those who harmed them would receive just judgment from God. #Isaiah10 #FinalJudgment #GreatWhiteThrone
Discipline Versus Destruction What lay ahead would be a devastating ordeal, yet God did not want God’s people to be afraid, for their crucible would soon pass, and those who harmed them would receive just judgment from God. Therefore thus says the Lord God of hosts: “O my people who live in Zion, do not be afraid of the Assyrians when they beat you with a rod and lift up their staff against you…

When You Think You are Losing
There are those times in life when we lose. But there are also those times in life when we think we are losing and we aren’t. Sometimes life is kicking us in the shins and when we fall to the ground in pain we get kicked in the head as well. In our family, we have a “family slogan” about this phenomenon. “Somedays you eat the bear,Somedays the bear eats you,Somedays the bear just swallows you…

A Bonfire of Vanity: Advice From the Wisest Man Who Ever Lived
Tom Wolfe (who wrote, “The Bonfire of the Vanities”) said, “The surest cure for vanity is loneliness.” Another person who understood vanity was (an older and somewhat jaded) King Solomon. After living a life of wealth and achievement, and after marrying hundreds of wives and keeping dozens of concubines, he wrote this: “Now all has been heard; here is the conclusion of the matter: Fear God and…

Sisters, are you really believing God's Word?
Sisters, are you really believing God's Word? Do you take all that the Lord says to you seriously and believe every word of it?
Sisters, are you really believing God’s Word? Do you take all that the Lord says to you seriously and believe every word of it? Do you do so even when it challenges your convictions? We ought to. Galatians 6: 7-8, Be not deceived; God is not mocked: for whatsoever a man soweth, that shall he also reap. For he that soweth to his flesh shall of the flesh reap corruption; but he that soweth to the…

Living His Word
Tumblr media
There is therefore now no condemnation for those who are in Christ Jesus. For the law of the Spirit of life has set you free in Christ Jesus from the law of sin and death. - Romans 8:1-2
The word "law" in our verses for today does not refer to any set of commandments in general or to the Mosaic Law specifically. It would probably be better translated as "power." Given this, there are two powers at work in the world. There is the power of sin and death, and there is the power of the Spirit of life.
The power of sin and death, on the one hand, is the power of our own sinful spiritual state ? which is itself under "the power of the evil one" (I John 5:19). It is the tyrant and rebel within us that leads us astray from God's will and ways and, as a consequence, leads us to eternal death and separation from God. The power of the Spirit of life, on the other hand, is the power of the Holy Spirit at work within those who believe in Christ Jesus. It is the power that enables the believer to follow God's will and ways and, as a consequence, leads us to eternal life and fellowship with God.
For those who believe in Christ Jesus, the power of the Spirit of life has set us free from the power of sin and death. The believer receives the Holy Spirit when Jesus Christ is accepted as Lord and from that point on the Holy Spirit "dwells' within the believer (I Corinthians 3:16). The indwelling presence of the Spirit is a liberating power that sets us free from the tyranny and rebelliousness of the sinful spiritual state. This does not mean that Christians never sin again or that the sinful spiritual state has been completely abolished (see Galatians 5:17), but it does mean that the primary spiritual motivation and direction of the believer is no longer dictated by that state, but by the Spirit.
For those who believe in Christ Jesus and have been set free by the power of the Spirit, there is no condemnation. No condemnation on Judgement day in the future (see Matthew 25:31-46) and no condemnation in the present ? as our verse for today implies.
If, therefore, Satan is trying to condemn you concerning your past and present failures, then remind him of Romans 8:1. Remind him that there is now no condemnation for those who are in Christ Jesus.

DETROIT: REBORN
Detroit Reborn - And Why We Like a Good redemption Story! Detroit's rise, fall and restoration is a wonderful story that points to the best story of all!
AND WHY WE LOVE A GOOD REDEMPTION STORY This past September, I had the opportunity to spend some time in the heart of Detroit while in the area for the Detroit Concours d’Elegance. While in town, Todd, a good friend and colleague (and tour guide extraordinaire) who has called Detroit home nearly all his life, took a few hours out of his busy day to act as the city’s unofficial ambassador. As he…

“Rejoice always, pray without ceasing, give thanks in all circumstances; for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus for you.” —1 Thessalonians 5:16
“In all circumstances part 1: trust in God's character” By Antique Candle Co.:
“Why is it that we most often seek the Lord during the valleys of life? We know from His Word that He wants us to seek Him in every season. During the peaks, with moments of great joy and celebration; during the valleys, in times of worry and uncertainty. Not only does He desire His children to seek Him out, but He calls us to be faithful in all circumstances.
“Trust in the Lord with all your heart, and do not lean on your own understanding...” —Proverbs 3:5
Trusting in the Lord's character allows us to find hope in every situation. It's not just about trusting God to get us through the difficult moments, but fully trusting in who He is, which extends to every moment of life.
So what is God's character? Many things. God cannot be compared to anything else in all creation. He created all things. Therefore, there are some attributes of Christ we can and cannot understand. We can't understand being 'unchanging' or 'all-knowing' ourselves because, as we are finite beings, we are neither. However, His Word tells us these truths about Him so that we may trust the characteristics that are unique to God alone. We can see and acknowledge the truth of His character in the Word and in our own lives.
GOD IS UNCHANGING:
“Jesus Christ is the same yesterday and today and forever.” —Hebrews 13:8
“Every good gift and every perfect gift is from above, coming down from the Father of lights, with whom there is no variation or shadow due to change.” —James 1:17
GOD IS FAITHFUL:
“...if we are faithless, he remains faithful—for he cannot deny himself.” —2 Timothy 2:13
“The Lord is good; his steadfast love endures forever and his faithfulness to all generations.” —Psalm 100:5
GOD IS ALL-KNOWING:
“He who planted the ear, does he not hear? He who formed the eye, does he not see? He who disciplines the nations, does he not rebuke? He who teaches man knowledge—the Lord—knows the thoughts of man, that they are but a breath.” —Psalm 94:9
GOD IS SOVEREIGN:
“For from him and through him and to him are all things. To him be glory forever. Amen.” —Romans 11:36
“In him we have redemption through his blood, the forgiveness of our trespasses, according to the riches of his grace, which he lavished upon us, in all wisdom and insight.” —Ephesians 1:7-8
“And we know that for those who love God all things work together for good, for those who are called according to his purpose.” —Romans 8:28
“And this gospel of the kingdom will be proclaimed throughout the whole world as a testimony to all nations, and then the end will come.” —Matthew 24:14
Place your trust in a God who is unchanging, faithful, all-knowing, sovereign, and so much more. In all circumstances, His character is something that will never fail.”
