GOD IS OUR SOURCE

WHO

Have you ever heard someone say?

“I” am going to be faithful.

“I” am going to be good.

“I” am going to change.

God has said to me this is all “IGNORANCE”.

For “Who” makes one faithful?

For “Who” makes one good?

For “Who” makes one change?

God says, “And I will give you a new heart, and I will put a new spirit in you.  I will take out your stony, stubborn heart and give you a tender, responsive heart.” Ezekiel 36:26

Jesus said, “ Yes, I am the vine; you are the branches.  Those who remain in me, and I in them, will produce much fruit.  For apart from me you can do nothing.”  John 15:5

Who Plays The Strings of your Soul?

Ever notice a guitar player tuning his/her guitar before playing?  The musician knows what songs he/she is going to play like God knows what is going to come in our day.  God is the one who needs to tune and strum our strings as the day starts and unfolds.  His cords and rhythms need to flow through us.  He is the one who makes and brings beautiful sounds come from soul.  

Jesus says, “To the one who believes in Me, it is just as the Scripture has said: ‘Streams of living water’ will flow from within him.”  John 7:37

Can You make A Seed Grow?

Can a seed make itself grow? Can your “measure of faith” grow by itself?  Who unlocks the potential of that seed to become an extraordinary creation?  Who turns that measure of faith, like a key to open the door to the realities of God where we can live in something we can’t fully understand?  It’s like trying to explain the wind.  You can feel it but can’t see it.   We know we were “that” old way before but now we know we are this “new” way now, without any effort of our own.  

Jesus said, “The Spirit alone gives eternal life.  Human effort accomplishes nothing.  And the very words I have spoken to you are spirit and life.”

 “May you experience the love of Christ, though it is too great to understand fully.  Then you will be made complete with all the fullness of life and power that comes from God. 

Now all glory to God, who is able, through his mighty power at work within us, to accomplish infinitely more than we might ask or think.”  Ephesians 3:19-20

Can You Alone Find Out What is Good, Pleasing and Perfect For Your Soul?

Could idols ever satisfy your eternal soul?  How absurd it is to trust in things that will turn to rust and dust.   You desire what?  You desire love, joy, peace, faith, hope, mercy, grace?  God is the answer to your quest for that missing puzzle piece.  For what was made eternal can only be satisfied by He who is eternal.    

“Don’t copy the behavior or customs of the this world, but let God transform you into a new person by changing the way you think.  Then you will learn to know God’s will for you, which is good and pleasing and perfect.” Romans 12:2

WHO Sustains You?

Does the moon produce it’s own light? Where must it continue to face to receive such light season after season?

“After staring in the Spirit, are you now finishing in the flesh.  Have you suffered so much for nothing, if it really was for nothing?” Note Galatians 2:2-5

Knowing where the flesh got us in the first place why would anyone want to go back?  Was our miracle of inner change in Christ for nothing?   Weren’t the fruitless searches enough the first time?  That would be a mistake to back to the fleshly understanding.  For I have found this reality in God is what carries me, renews me, and strengthens me - breathing health and vitality daily to my soul.  My soul that was not made for the things of earth but heaven…

“I pray that out of his glorious, unlimited riches he may strengthen you with power through his Spirit in your inner being, so that Christ may dwell in your hearts through faith….”  Note Ephesians 3:16-17
