Every born again believer's standing with Christ is secure, but our state with Christ is progressing. Our performance does not determine our standing with Christ.
There is nothing that we could do on our own, without Christ.
Titus 3:5 According to his mercy - he saved us. God's mercy saved us.
2 Peter 3:18 - Grow in grace - we have been given a measure of grace but we must have the desire to grow.
Colossians 3:5 - Set your affections on things above, this is the time to focus, because the temptation to be over-excited during this season.
It's hard for someone to buy something for you, we can be grateful but not satisfied, nothing satisfies but God.
Matthew 11:29 - you will find rest for your soul if you give God your problems. Don't get in the struggle or try to find rest in other things - find rest in God.
Jesus said - My peace, I leave with you. You shouldn't be looking for peace.
God is a peacemaker.
Faith comes by hearing and the knowledge of God.
Faith is an established principle - to apply this principle, you must understand the righteousness of God.
He who knew no sin, was born into sin to save us.
You were in God's plan before the foundation of the word.
We are justified by our faith - My faith in Jesus justifies me.
Don't allow the enemy to sow seeds in your spirit. You are saved and sealed until the day of redemption.
God's grace is sufficient. When God says it's finished - it is finished.
We have access into God's grace. Now that we have access, we can come boldly before the throne.
We are redeemed from:
Confession
Depression
Oppression
Worry
Your faith is your victory - every circumstance must yield to your faith. There are some things that are still in your life because you aren't speaking faith - filled words to it.
The key is to remain God-inside-minded. We have peace through Christ.
Isaiah 23:3 - God never said that we won't have trials, but we are all conquerors because we believe.
We will have trouble, but your victory is in your mouth. Say Something!
Isaiah 48:2 - There is no peace to the wicked.
There are times when your faith will be tested - Why have faith if it can't be tested.
You have to have confidence in God's protection.
Psalm 56:3 - I will trust in thee, I will not fear, what can man do to me?
We have confidence in God's purpose. You must pursue your purpose. Go after it.
We must glory in tribulation - knowing that it comes to work your patience.
Romans 3:5 - tribulation worketh patience. When you ask for patience...you are asking for tribulation.
When you're dealing with trials and tribulation you must continue to bless the name of the Lord. I will bless the Lord at all times.
There are times when you ask God to remove circumstances and he won't remove it. It has nothing to do with you or what you have done.
God is not in the circumstances removal business. He never said that you wouldn't go through anything. His grace is sufficient. I will keep you until it's time to bring you out.
Everytime you encounter something speak to yourself.
It ain't over until it's over!
