His Life Lived In Us

For we realize that our life in this world is actually his life lived in us. – 1 John 4:17 (Phillips)

There are rather sobering words. Is this true of our lives? We talk about being dead to sin. We talk about being a new creation in Christ; alive in Him but when the world looks at us, what do they see? Do they see us or do they see Christ living in us?We are called to be His witnesses. We are called to be a reflection of Him so that the world may see Him and come to know Him. What does our mirror look like? Is it smudged so that we project a distorted image or do we daily present ourselves before God, allowing the Holy Spirit to apply the Word of God to our lives so that we sparkle and shine? I want to sparkle and shine!…

Finding The Peace That Comes From Doing Gods Will For Your Life

blessings2you posted:

For many years of my life, I was of the opinion that my purpose in living was to save the world. I spent years leading would be evangelists on mission trips and witnessing blitzes. After doing this for quite some time, the passion started to wane and the realization hit me that there must be more to the story than just spending ones life converting everyone to what I believed.After a season of rest, I embarked on a mission to change the world. I tried to get people to think and live differently. The problem was that I had my own issues which needed to be changed but I was unwilling and unable to confront them. After a very frustrating season, I came to realize that there is more to life than confronting people constantly.A few years ago I embarked on a mission to help the world. I spent all…

Calling Upon My Life

ourchristiancountry — Tue, 24 Jan 2012 21:07:20 +0000

christineingram posted:

I was listening to the radio the other day. I heard a story about a man who was now in his 70s, a doctor, and by worldly standards a successful man. When he was in his early 30s he felt the Lord calling him to be a missionary. He ignored the Lords calling and now 40 years later he tells the story that for the past 40 years he has not had a moments peace. He was disobedient to the Lords calling and the Lord has never released him from it.I thought to myself, the Lord has called me into a mission field as well. He spoke it to me, then He gave me confirmation from another. What He is wanting me to do seems enormous, so big that I was not sure how I would ever do such a thing. Have you ever felt like this? Luckily I have…

The Reality Of Walking With God In This Life

ourchristiancountry — Tue, 24 Jan 2012 15:07:16 +0000

blessings2you posted:

With all my heart I would love to say that every day is a walk in the spiritual park and every step we take is walking on sonshine. As cool as these things sound, the reality of life is that at times we end up in the ghetto instead of the park and each step is like walking in a dark cave.Every person who has ever lived has spent time in the wilderness. Every person who has ever lived has endured seasons of pain, sorrow and sadness. Every person who has ever lived has fought personal demons seeking to plant doubt or dispute the Godly things taking place in their life. Every person who has ever lived has been hurt by the words or actions of a friend.Upon getting born again, we are not immediately transported to a land of beauty, peace and perfection. That day will come when Jesus…

One God, One Love, One Life

One God, one love, one life. How do you want to live it? Do you have peace in your life right now? Does joy flood your heart? Do you have hope and optimism for the future? Without a relationship with God our Father, we cant enjoy true peace, joy or hope. We live in a world that wants to tear us down. Negativity, competition, do you measure up? We can be free from the worlds burdens and ways when we receive Jesus Christ as our Lord. Once we do that we can begin to know what life is really like. Jesus comes to bring abundant life and an eternal life with Him. Choose God, choose love, choose life!Jesus said in John 10:10 The thief does not come except to steal and to kill and to destroy. I have come that they may have life and that they may have it…
