Good People Don’t Go To Heaven. Forgiven people Go To Heaven.

We Need To Be Led By The Spirit

I’m noticing a lot of our Christian thinking can just be cliches… a language we talk… making inappropriate “spiritual principles.”

The Christ walk is not a recipe book.

We need to be led by the Spirit.

The Holy Spirit is often very practical. Promptings… “gut feel”…” this way… walk this way.” Very real things.

It’s not hard to “hear” but it takes conviction to carry out.

The Holy Spirit isn’t religious and our Christian walk is not principles. He’s our teacher… revealing the deep things of God yes, but of a God who’s concerned with our lives… so guiding us in practical ways too.

Trust In You

When You don’t move the mountains
I’m needing You to move
When You don’t part the waters
I wish I could walk through
When You don’t give the answers
As I cry out to You
I will trust, I will trust
I will trust in You
I will trust in You
I will trust in You
I will trust in You

Lauren Daigle – Trust In You (Live)

Lyrics

Letting go of every single dream
I lay each one down at Your feet
Every moment of my wandering
Never changes what You see
I’ve tried to win this war, I confess
My hands are weary, I need Your rest
Mighty warrior, King of the fight
No matter what I face, You’re by my side

When You don’t move the mountains
I’m needing You to move
When You don’t part the waters
I wish I could walk through
When You don’t give the answers
As I cry out to You
I will trust, I will trust
I will trust in You

Truth is, You know what tomorrow brings
There’s not a day ahead You have not seen
So in all things be my life and breath
I want what You want, Lord, and nothing less

You are my strength and comfort
You are my steady hand
You are my firm foundation
The rock on which I stand
Your ways are always higher
Your plans are always good
There’s not a place where I’ll go
You’ve not already stood

Grace For Everyday People… With Everyday Issues

The Christian walk would be dull if it was just reading the Bible, praying and going to Church meetings.

As important as these things are our Christian walk is not these things. It’s more.

It’s finding the grace of God each day to follow Christ.

Following Christ in everyday life… it’s challenging.

Honouring God and being real and the same time…only possible if we sincerely desire that changing work of God’s spirit in our lives… not to bless us but to let the life of Christ be felt through us.

So often we don’t feel spiritual… but the Lord doesn’t work by our feelings or failings or successes… not my might, not by power but my spirit says the Lord.

Let’s keep the heart to be in need of His grace daily… that’s all. He’ll accomplish the rest.

Never Forget That If God Brought You To It, He Will See You Through It

You are secure in your relationship with God: Nothing can separate you from God’s love.

Who shall separate us from the love of Christ? Shall trouble or hardship or persecution or famine or nakedness or danger or sword? As it is written:
“For your sake we face death all day long;
we are considered as sheep to be slaughtered.”
No, in all these things we are more than conquerors through him who loved us. For I am convinced that neither death nor life, neither angels nor demons, neither the present nor the future, nor any powers, neither height nor depth, nor anything else in all creation, will be able to separate us from the love of God that is in Christ Jesus our Lord.
Romans 8:35-39

God is more powerful than anything in heaven or on earth. When you accept Jesus’ invitation to begin a relationship with God, you are secure in His love forever. There is nothing powerful enough to separate you from God’s love. Even when things are difficult or you feel far from God, it’s not because God stops loving you. The truth is that God will never stop loving you, no matter what you do.
