Lost In Christ

We Christians need to realize why we do not have the power that Christ Jesus promised us. We need to realize that we are not lost in Christ. People want to have the anointing of Christ, yet keep Him at a distance in our lives. The Christ in us and His anointing are a package that cannot be separated.

Christians, we must realize that “in Him we live and move and exist...” (Acts 17:28). If there is no connection with God, we have not granted Him access. We want the benefits of marriage, without the commitment. If we honor our relationship with Him, He will honor us.

Let us get to a place where we care not for anything of this world: greed, man-given power and the lust of the flesh; pouring ourselves out for Christ Jesus. The world needs Christ here today, and that is why we are given His Holy Spirit, to show others to Him! It is not to make us powerful, wealthy, and famous; but to Glorify our God. When we make ourselves out to be great for self-benefit, we are accomplishing what Satan did and it led to Satan's fall.

Hate, Cloaked in Love

Hate, Cloaked in Love

It is amazing to me how a person can put on a face of love and give hugs, all while slipping a knife into the back of another person. It is even more amazing that this goes on in the church, what is supposed to be for the glory of God, is of Satan. Those who practice such activities will have their reward some day!

It is funny that I have a book coming out that has a chapter on Love in August, 2008. (A Membership Guide to the Body of Christ) However, since I have written the book, I see more that I wish I could put into the book. I always wondered why people wrote a second book about the same subject, now I know.

People get jealous (also covered in the book) when another person might have a more respect from other Christians or knowledge about God than they do. They see God working in a person’s life and they try to squash what they do not have. In doing so, that person kills anything God can do in his or her own life. The world handles jealousy by trying to kill the other person’s joy. Christians are to handle the situation by praying for the “blessed” person to receive more blessings and ask God what it would take to receive what the “blessed” person has. This is against human nature, but it is necessary for the kingdom of God, which does not operate on worldly, or Satan’s, principals.

What have I learned from this type situation? Never allow the person to pull you out of the perfect will of God for your life. God knows your heart and if you remain pure (sinless) in the situation, your reward will be great and the person with an issue of hate will be greatly rewarded if he or she does not repent. The difference is that the hateful person will not enter heaven.

Have a great day in the Lord and remember, always do His word.
