Respecting God's Boundaries

'The true God is the Creator of all things. He is the owner and Lord of the heavenly realm and the earthly realm, and he doesn’t live in man-made temples. He supplies life and breath and all things to every living being. He doesn’t lack a thing that we mortals could supply for him, for he has all things and everything he needs.  From one man, Adam, he made every man and woman and every race of humanity, and he spread us over all the earth. He sets the boundaries of people and nations, determining their appointed times in history.  He has done this so that every person would long for God, feel their way to him, and find him—for he is the God who is easy to discover!  It is through him that we live and function and have our identity; just as your own poets have said, ‘Our lineage comes from him.' Acts 17:24-28 (TPT) 

 

When considering boundaries it's good to consider that God sets the boundaries for all the peoples and nations of the Earth. The God we worship is the one true God and He is the creator of all things. He is the only God that is alive and He lives outside of the temples made of men. He supplies all of our needs and doesn't need a single thing from us in return. He made Adam and from Him came every man and woman of every race. He spread humanity out over all the earth. He also determines our appointed times in history. Such be the kings of Assyria and Persia and the kings of Greece and Rome. Those were some of the greats and yet there was a beginning and most certainly an end to their reign and their power and greatness. God Himself marked out their appointed time in history as well as the boundaries of their lands.

 

How could it be that some might feel the desire to expand their borders? That would be evil. How could it be that some might consider that life would be better if we had no borders? All without wisdom and futile and foolish thoughts. For it is God who has given us boundaries. It is God that has appointed our time in history. I will respect yours if you will respect mine. He has done so that each might consider Him and come to know Him. Then there will come a day, that great day in eternity when every knee shall bow before Him and every tongue shall confess that Jesus is Lord. Jesus is our Lord. He is the Ruler over all of the kings of the Earth! Amen!

The Day of the Lord Approaches

' not forgetting to gather as a community, as some have forgotten, but encouraging each other, especially as the day of His return approaches.' Hebrews 10:25 (VOICE) Days of future trials are coming and yet are here. Last days. The day of His return approaches. No one knows the hour. So we are told to be even more diligent in our calling. We should be always watching, praying and bringing a word of encouragement to one another through the power of God. For what signs and wonders happen in the House of the Lord! Oh so amazing. The Miraculous. God provides the Fire. The battle is the Lords. We are told not to fret but only to enjoy the ride as we thank Him. So as I pray I want to thank you Lord. I am totally devoted to You. Equip me to preach the gospel. Now is the time and I will not forget my mission. As I arise I will not forget to put on my Full Armor of God. I will cling to your Bible. I am committed to carry it with me. I will hold it up as a sword in the town ...

The Look

' Looking straight into their eyes, Jesus replied, “Humanly speaking, no one, because no one can save himself . But what seems impossible to you is never impossible to God!”' Matthew 19:26 (TPT) So if the poor deal with envy and the rich with pride, who then can get in? Who can be saved? None, except through the grace of God. Only God can save us. Only God can change the hearts and minds of men. Nothing is impossible to Him.  Dear Father Thank you for loving us and sending us Your Son Jesus our Savior even while we were yet sinners. When we were sinners You pursued us and turned our hearts toward You.  With just one look You could see into our souls. You knew what we needed. You did what needed to be done. You did the thing that seemed impossible to man. You perfected a Way for us to be reconciled to You and even with our sinful natures. You made converts out of us. It's nothing we could have done on our own without You. We could never doubt You. You cleaned us ...

A Warrant to Believe

Image
' By “the Lord” what I mean is the Spirit, and in any heart where the Spirit of the Lord is present, there is liberty.' 2 Corinthians 3:17 (VOICE ) Holy Spirit thou art welcome in this place. For wherever the Spirit is there is Life and Liberty. The Spirit brings with it freedom. Joy. Believers, we are blessed. God is gracious. Through the Cross, He has given us a way to be free from the law of sin and death. The veil between us and God has been lifted. The Holy Spirit brings the Light of Christ which illuminates and frees us from former blindness and darkness. The Spirit brings regeneration and sanctification as we are changed and made more like Christ everyday. We are free to walk in the ways of the Lord. Oh how we need thee this very hour Holy Spirit. Issue to us a warrant not as in the world and its laws, but of the gospel to believe. We do believe in You. Thank You Lord! Dear Father We repent to You this day, that we have failed to seek more of You. You kno...
