About
I AM AN 80 YEAR OLD MALE, BORN AGAIN, CHRISTIAN WITH A LOVE FOR JESUS. I DO NOT GET OUT MUCH ANYMORE BUT FIND THAT TELLING PEOPLE ABOUT THE LOVE JESUS HAS FOR THEM IS NOT ONLY WHAT WE ARE SUPPOSED TO DO BUT SOMETHING THAT THE WORLD NEEDS.

JOINT HEIRS WITH JESUS....REALLY ?
JESUS SAID IN MATTHEW 12:50 THAT IF WE DO GOD'S WILL, HE IS OUR BROTHER, SISTER AND MOTHER, (For whosoever shall do the will of my Father which is in heaven, the same is my brother, and sister, and mother.) THIS MEANS WE ARE JOINT HEIRS WITH JESUS, IF WE DO GOD'S WILL. IN FACT IT SAYS THAT IN ROMANS 8:16 The Spirit itself beareth witness with our spirit, that we are the children of God: 17 And if children, then heirs; heirs of God, and joint-heirs with Christ; if so be that we suffer with him, that we may be also glorified together.
SO, IF WE ARE JOINT HEIRS WITH JESUS, THEN WE ARE ENTITLED TO SHARE IN GOD'S KINGDOM. THIS GIVES A NEW MEANING TO EPHESIANS 3:20 WHICH SAYS "Now unto him that is able to do exceeding abundantly above all that we ask or think, according to the power that worketh in us," THE POWER THAT WORKS IN US. WE HAVE THAT POWER THROUGH THE HOLY SPIRIT.
HOW CAN WE KNOW IF WE HAVE THE HOLY SPIRIT. JESUS TOLD US IN JOHN 16: 7 Nevertheless I tell you the truth; It is expedient for you that I go away: for if I go not away, the Comforter will not come unto you; but if I depart, I will send him unto you. THE COMFORTER IS THE HOLY SPIRIT BUT HOW CAN WE KNOW WE HAVE THE POWER.
THE POWER COMES WITH THE HOLY SPIRIT BUT YOU HAVE TO USE YOUR FAITH TO RECEIVE IT. READ ACTS 1:8 But ye shall receive power, after that the Holy Ghost is come upon you: SO, BEING JOINT HEIRS WITH JESUS AND HAVING THE POWER OF THE HOLY SPIRIT, THERE SHOULD BE NO STOPPING US AND THE DEVIL SHOULD HATE IT WHEN WE GET UP IN THE MORNING. WE NEED TO BE LIKE PAUL WHEN HE SAID TO THE PHILIPPIANS IN 4:13 I can do all things through Christ which strengtheneth me.
WE CAN DO ALL THINGS BECAUSE WE HAVE THE POWER BY BEING HEIRS WITH JESUS. HE DID IT ALL ON THE CROSS, SO START ACTING LIKE A CHILD OF THE KING. RECEIVE ALL THE BLESSINGS AND THINGS HE HAS PROMISED US. GET INTO THE WORD AND FIND OUT ALL THESE THINGS AND TAKE ADVANTAGE OF THEM. THEY ARE ALL OURS AND IF WE DON'T RECEIVE THEM, THEY JUST GO TO WASTE AND I THINK THAT IS SINFUL. THE BALL IS IN OUR COURT. I KNOW WHAT I AM GOING TO DO...HOW ABOUT YOU?
GOD BLESS YOU ALL.
Hi David,
I like the " power boost " aspect of this message. It's been shared with all members, plus Twitter, Facebook, and Google.
I agree also with synergism (choice/response/cooperation), which you expressed as the ball is in our court .
Watch this video from my friend Bruce Moss in St. John's. It's a really good treatment of the subject and he's a wonderfully talented singer/songwriter.
God closes doors no man can open & God opens doors no man can close..
If you need God to open some doors for you...send this on.
Have a blessed day and remember to be a blessing...
LIVE WELL, LOVE MUCH, LAUGH OFTEN
