I am convinced by the Spirit that we are about to enter the final stages of the birth pangs of God's true church. Newness of life is about to be poured out upon ALL who call out to be made free indeed just as Jesus promised us.
The key to deliverance? Hunger for Him. Many in the church today are quite content with what we currently possess. Nice services, A bit of prayer. Some memorized scriptures, Doctrines all nicely tied up with a bow. An outer appearance of righteousness. They know not that their contentment with so little, healed only slightly as they say 'peace, peace' is in no way pleasing to our Father.
Thank God, however, many are not. Like Paul, they have tried to cease from sin, whether it be a debilitating addiction or a carnal nature that refuses to bow the knee to God in all things.
They want to do good, to walk pleasing to God but find they cannot. They want to not give in to their flesh, in whatever way it manifests itself in their lives, but find that no matter the effort they expel, they fail again... and yet again.They too, like Paul, see themselves as wretched men, saved but not changed, with little if any fruits of the Spirit in their lives.
If you find yourself in this "wretched man" category, may I encourage you? God is about to open ears and eyes as to HOW to walk in that freedom. And praise God. ALL, no matter how weak, no matter how addicted they have found themselves, WILL find rest for their weary souls.
The key question is.... do you love the light? Do you long for goodness to reign in your heart so that you can please the one who died for you? Are you tired of a God who seems a million miles away when you cry out for help?
If that is you, take heart. Stand still and prepare to see the God who cannot lie bring to pass what He has clearly promised us. And what is that? Overcoming life, delivered from not just the penalty for our sins but from the power of darkness itself. Glory!
Have we forgotten? It is not to the strong, or to the "good", or to those satisfied with the status quo but to the weak, to oppressed, to those who long to be free indeed, but know not the way, who will discover what real Christianity looks and feels like. Real overcoming, full deliverance from our old carnal nature.... that is our birthright, fellow believers but , for those who have NO strength. Our problem is not that we are too weak. We have npt been weak enough!
A new day is dawning for God's own. Buckling your seatbelts, all you who hunger and thirst for righteousness. Things are about to get mind-blowingly wonderful.
blessings to all,
Gids
