The whole moral law calls us to be separate from the thinking of the world. If you settle in a certain comfort zone and begin to focus on self, to the exclusion of those who haven't come into your inheritance, this is the sin that will find you out. We can be sure that there will be a great personal cost to those who pursue self interest while there are others who still don't know the Lord. We are not called to live for ourselves. We are called to follow our Savior.

God wants to take from you the spirit of heaviness and give you the garment of praise. This is the ministry of Jesus Christ. Praise is important and vital because it places God in the right perspective. Heaviness comes when we put our problems in the place of God. God deserves all of our praise! On a good day or bad day He still deserves the praise. He earned it and died for it. Praise lifts us up into the supernatural and gives us the victory over all the powers of darkness.

Redemption is not something to make us feel good. We are called to walk with Christ and share in His compassion for the lost. People cannot embrace the fullness of the Cross because they are not attracted to the selfless life it leads us into. The evidence that we embraced the Cross will be a life fully surrendered to the agenda of Jesus for humanity. We are called to take up our cross and allow our lives to be poured out for others.

Nosotros estamos, en cualquier momento, viviendo en un ambiente de temor o de fe. El Espíritu de Dios nos puede enseñar cómo salir de una vida de temor y movernos a una de fe. Podemos construir un ambiente de fe contagiosa.

Dios usa aflicciones para atraernos a Su Palabra para que le permitamos tratar con los asuntos de nuestro corazón. Si no vemos a Dios en TODAS nuestras circunstancias, las buenas y las malas; nuestra fe estallará. Dios no está con nosotros a pesar de nuestro fracaso, pecado y vagancia; El está con nosotros a causa de ellas. Las misericordias de Dios están por encima de sus obras. Ve al Señor con un corazón abierto y deja que El te ame a través de tu dolor y sufrimiento.

The church that loses its calling begins to drift away from a Christ centered focus to a man focus. This man focus will lead us into a false sense of identity and there will be a great inability to hear and receive challenging and deepening truths. This church becomes "doctrinal shoppers" who shop around until they find a voice that does not confront their errors. This church loses the heart for the poor and desires to satisfy self. The church of Christ is not called to be like men. We are called to look beyond self and to focus on Christ so we can be conformed to His image.

As we continue to walk with Jesus the enemy will accuse us of many things. His purpose is to arouse our flesh. The power of God is demonstrated in a God-appointed silence. The Holy Spirit will empower us to bridle our tongue in the atmosphere of adversity. When we are led into a season of silence we are creating a space for God in our heart and mind. When Jesus was being accused, He could have said so much in His defense, but chose to be silent. The living Word chose not to speak. God wants to lead His people to a place of quietness. Will you go there?

We have an incredible relationship with God our Father. Our Father is powerful beyond description. There is a deep desire in the heart of God for us to be intimate with Him. He is a Father of forgiveness and peace. There was never a time that we were not in the heart of God. His love for us is an ever lasting love.
