The Keys of the Kingdom
Decrees are made through words, Judgements are passed through words.
Decrees are made through words, Judgements are passed through words.
Two forces worked together to bring about the world we now live in; the Spirit and the Word.
My prayer, my heart cry. My honest desire and hope. All of YOU in me, Jesus.
I remember my days as a medical student, exams were always high pressure times, it doesn’t really matter how much you’ve studied or not studied. Our medical texts were so voluminous that it was impossible for anyone to boast to have covered any of them sufficiently for any exam.
When passion turns to conviction with a corresponding action, then and only then can meaningful impact be made and change effected.
Passion (alone) about God seldom changes things, but faith always does.
Faith is not passive, it is active.
Faith believes the Word of God, Speaks the Word of God and Acts on the Word of God it believes.
Faith without corresponding works (action) is dead.
“A person’s body that does not have a spirit is dead. It is the same with faith—faith that does nothing is dead!“
James 2:26 ERV
Today, do something about what you say you believe. ???
Sadly, what this also means is that if I do not act in faith I may never reveal and experience the righteousness of God which is always available to me. We are unlikely to experience God’s integrity/ without faith. You cannot have victory without faith. There is an opportunity today to uncover the faithfulness/righteousness/wholeness of God in your work, health, academics, business, ministry, family, etc. Take God by His Word, believe and you will see the glory of God manifested.
ONE also describes something of same quality and make-up, something that is identical. This is the meaning of ONE this write-up is about.
So faith is for every split second, every second, every minute, every hour, every day, every week, every month, every year, every time.
Faith reveals the righteousness of God and the faith to reveal the righteousness of God comes by hearing and hearing the Word of God. Without the Word, there will be no stimulus to act in faith and without acting in faith, the righteousness/faithfulness/wholeness of God cannot be experienced.
I don’t know how reading this makes you feel, but for me I am reassured that every stage of my life, every day of my life and every moment of my life are continually before God. I have absolutely nothing to worry about. I will not sit on the motion-less rocking chair of worry. If I trust God and walk with Him, like the good Father that He is, He will keep me away from destruction, He will preserve, protect and provide for me.
We are to love all people; lovers, users, haters, persecutors, cursers, etc with the love of God. We are to bless them, do good to them, and pray for them (Matthew 5:43-48). Responding with love where love seems underserved is one way we grow and mature in love (agape).
