The Devotional - 076 - Part Four


A Thought for the Day – 076 – Part Four

The thought for today is that I have no thoughts for the day! So here is a verse of scripture to hold on to. “Stand fast therefore in the liberty by which Christ has made us free, and do not be entangled again with a yoke of bondage”. Galatians 5:1

Comments and challenges

I have yet to talk clearly about the Holy Spirit and His work of Regeneration. The subject: Jesus Christ who fulfills the Law, Matthew 5:17-20, completes the Will and Plan of God to reconcile all of the lost souls from the grip of Satan. Satan; a supernatural being holds the world in the bondage of “Sin and Death”. Now I have described what I believe to be a logical explanation of the fall of mankind and the restoration of mankind. I know my explanation is not complete and there are certainly better approaches to this subject.

What I have sought to explain in WORDS will not biblically save your soul or mine from SIN and DEATH. There are no WORDS or WORKS by man that is sufficient for this and because of that; I praise God the Creator of the heavens and the earth, who alone has a plan to redeem you and me. And just let me say that if His plan isn’t working then we should all just pack a small lunch and go to the beach and drown ourselves in the sorrows of the ocean. The Risen Christ Jesus, He is our only HOPE. 1 Corinthians 15:12-19.

It took the supernatural act of a fallen angel of God to SUBVERT and DESTROY the SOULS of God into believing in SIN and DEATH. Now whether you believe in Satan or not, as I know some of you folks out there do not believe he exists, you need to think about this since I know that you are conscious of God as we have talked and being conscious of God is the first step in the right direction. Since, if you believe that God exists, then you believe in a Spirit controlled world. John 4:24 (a simple verse, but very convincing here).

Most New Testament churches preach and teach that God is triune (three in One), God the Father, God the Son and God the Holy Spirit. Speaking of Jesus Christ the apostle Paul explains that in Him all the fullness of the Godhead dwells, Colossians 2:9 and Romans chapter One explains that the world does not retain God in this truth, thus denying the power of God the Father, God the Son and God the Holy Spirit, therefore the world suppresses this truth and worships idolatry.

So in order for you and me to be saved biblically it is God’s responsibility to provide Power that overrides the power of Satan. God does this with the Resurrection of His Son Jesus Christ. 1 Corinthians 15:1-58 a long read, but well worth the time. As we read or hear the Good News message of the Resurrection of Jesus Christ, it is God the Holy Spirit who challenges you and me to be equipped with faith, to believe in the Truth. This is not the same faith that we use to sit with in a chair, this faith is human faith and has no place in eternity with God.

The faith that the Holy Spirit provides, is supernatural faith, or God’s faith, I like calling it God’s faith simply because it is the same faith that Jesus has, the faith that sent Him to His sacrificial Death and His Supernatural Resurrection. Ephesians 2:1-10, also I like to add Galatians 2:20. This believing faith is the work of God, not of man. God’s desire for your soul in expressed in John 3:16, 2 Peter 3:9 and other passages throughout the Holy Bible. If you do not have a Holy Bible… shame on you, or better yet; let me know and I will get you one.

You should now be singing that song: “I’m goin to his city because they got some great little Bibles there and I’m gonna get me one”. No; I don’t think that this is the title of that song… it was about Kansas City! Stay away from there; I hear the women are crazy. Hmm!
