God's Promises and Our Actions

[GospelS]

A good tree absorbs the surrounding darkness and releases a life-giving breath, nourishing all living beings. That is the Tree of Life. Through Christ, we are empowered with divine strength to bring order to chaos and clarity to confusion.

Speak the Word of God over your circumstances and the barriers that hinder you. Let your proclamation resonate with authority, grace, and unwavering faith. Breathe the Spirit of Truth and Holiness into every aspect of your life, allowing it to transform and renew the atmosphere.

Be consistent, steadfast, and patient, just as the walls of Jericho fell through faith and perseverance. Resist the temptation to grumble; instead, immerse yourself in deep worship, soaking in the presence of the Almighty like a cloth saturated with the Word of God.

Avoid mindless talk and arguments that fuel conflict and chaos. Be slow to speak and let your words be few. Instead, fight the good fight of love and justice, standing firm for righteousness with wisdom and discernment.

The life you pour into the world through intention and purpose will return to you, shaping your future and manifesting as blessings. In this way, your words, rooted in faith, will become flesh, living proof of the profound connection between our actions and God’s promises.

I been working on the parts he says he gives us all we ask for & he's given us all. Those can be hard parts, when you're struggling, when you maybe feel like you're still cursed, God is still angry at Adam. But we're not being 'cheated' of anything. All means all.

"Therefore, let no one boast in men. For all things are yours: whether Paul or Apollos or Cephas, or the world or life or death, or things present or things to come, all are yours. And you are Christ's, and Christ is God's. 1 Corinthians 3.

His divine power has given us everything we need for a godly life through our knowledge of him who called us by his own glory and goodness. 2 peter 1

how will he not also, along with him, graciously give us all things? romans 8

Whatever you ask in my name, this I will do, that the Father may be glorified in the Son John 14

there's more but these are the ones off the top of my head

That 1 Cor one is good, I hadn't heard that.

How can all not mean all? To various extents at least

 

[GospelS]

You cannot destroy what has been resurrected, for it has already triumphed over death and defeat. What rises anew carries with it a strength born of perseverance, an unshakable truth that cannot be undone.

To resurrect is to transcend, to defy the limits of finality and emerge with renewed purpose, impervious to the forces that once sought its end. So do not attempt it. He will not die again, but it will unleash hell upon the forces of darkness.

The Last Hour

They came in late,
eleventh hour, backs barely bent,
hands hardly worn,
sun already slipping down the sky.
And yet...
they walked away
with silver in their hands.

A denarius.
Same as us.
We who bore the day.
We who faced the flame.
We who watched the sweat
drip from our brow
into the dirt of obedience.

And we grumbled.
Because we expected more.
Because we measured grace
by the length of labor.
Because we thought God
owed us interest
on faithfulness.

But the Master…
Oh, the Master turned,
with eyes that pierced
and a voice like justice laced with love:

“Friend,”
He said-
Friend.
“I did you no wrong.
Did you not agree?
Did we not shake on it,
you and Me?

Take what is yours.
Go in peace.
For I give to the last
what I give to the first
not by merit,
but by mercy.”

And there it was.
Truth.
Naked and unsettling.
The Kingdom is not a wage scale.
It’s not earned by hour or effort.
It’s not a pyramid of pride,
but a table of grace
and everyone eats.

So judge not the gift
when the Giver is good.
For the first shall be last,
and the last…
they just might walk in first.
