This Good Friday, searching Google or other mainstream search engines for ‘Easter 2023’ should cause sadness and righteous indignation for true Christians. Such a search returns no images of the Cross, no mentions of Jesus, most certainly nothing about the Blood Christ shed for humanity due to the love of God wanting to offer redemption to His Creation.
Speaker Pastor Catrice teaches on the importance of being Holy, as God is Holy; a life of Consecration to the Lord.
Let us truly be set apart, washed by the water of the Word! Gain the wisdom of the Word to have tools to overcome and be free!
We reflect on the goodness of God, His inexhaustible and boundless understanding, as well as His affectionate and watchful care over us.
We continue on this topic of Faith, building a foundation of understanding. Your Faith, your trusting in someone is more effective once you get to know their character and nature. When we come to know the Lord more, and we see His heart for His creation, we can be more effective ministers of the Gospel. That is because our faith, our trust will contain no doubt, unbelief or fear when we are believing for something.
Know your enemy. Just because you don’t see the wind doesn’t mean it doesn’t blow against you. The devil remains cunning, just as he was in the garden against Eve. (Genesis chp 3). It is our choice whether we remain ignorant.
It’s a lot easier to trust in someone once you get to know them. Trusting in the Lord allows our Faith to be used more effectively, simply because once you know the Lord’s nature and character, you realize there is no reason to doubt what He has promised us. When doubt, unbelief and fear have all been removed, all that is left is pure Faith. That’s when the mountains you’re speaking to begin to move!
We focus on how our walk with the Lord, or our walk without Him, can dictate where we are led. We follow one of two masters every hour. We cannot serve both at the same time, but that doesn’t mean that our flesh doesn’t try to pull us into alternating between them.
The Lord loves you, whether you love him or reject him. He doesn’t favor one person over another since scripture says he’s no respecter of persons (Acts 10:34). There are ramifications in our daily lives, and ultimately our destiny, however, depending on whether we receive and confess Jesus as our Lord or keep on rejecting Him.
Simply put, Jesus said to the ruler of the synagogue [Jairus], Do not be seized with alarm and struck with fear; only keep on believing.
We cover several small topics this week, including being free of sin and shame. That is, as long as we are walking according to the dictates of the Spirit and not our flesh.
Against the backdrop of topics covered in recent weeks on God’s Grace, Mercy, Faith and Rest, we continue this journey of understanding the importance of knowing the Father and the Son. One of the ways is to see God’s nature and character in action in His Word. In this program we look at the Father’s heart in several situations and how His longsuffering continues with us to this day.
