We have all we need... look deeper

-

His divine power has given us everything we need for a godly life through our knowledge of Him who called us by His own glory and goodness.  Through these He has given us His exceeding great (sufficient, adequate, plenty, wealth, richness=fruitfulness, productivity, strength, power) and precious promises, so that through them you may participate in the divine nature, having escaped the corruption in the world caused by evil desires. 
~ 2 Peter 1:3-5

The truth (revelation) of this simple verse should change your entire life!

God has already given us everything we need for both our natural and spiritual life.

His divine power looked through the ages and saw everything we would need for life (natural life) and godliness (spiritual life) and made it ahead of time. When you received Jesus as your Lord and Saviour, a storehouse was opened with all you would ever need.

Our faith does not move God to supply; He has already supplied. Our study, prayer, faith and trust in God move us into a better position to receive what God has already given. God is never the problem; we are!

When the thief who was crucified beside Jesus received salvation, Jesus told him they would be together in Paradise that very day. Adam and Eve were removed from Paradise, but through Jesus, we are brought back into the garden. The same angels that kept Adam and Eve out of the garden have welcomed us back. God placed Adam and Eve in Eden after He finished the Garden. Everything was created then the man and woman were placed in the midst of God’s creation. God did not create a tree when the couple had a need. The trees were already made for every need they could have.

God has done the same for us with our Paradise, the Garden of the New Birth. We were placed into this new life after God created everything we would ever need. We just need to wander through and find out what God has provided. Every tree is good. Because Adam and Eve sinned, they could not eat of the Tree of Life. Because we are born again, we are invited to eat of it. The Tree of Life is the Word of God (Proverbs 3:18). Everything that pertains to life and godliness is made available to us through His Word, “through the knowledge of Him that hath called us to glory and virtue,” through the “exceeding great and precious promises……

This should change your prayer and faith life. You do not need to beg God who has already created and given all things. You can rest assured that God’s love is so great you cannot possibly have a need that He has overlooked.

Bible - Truths

And we have known and believed the love that God has in us. God is love, and he who abides in love abides in God, and God in him. In this is our love made perfect, that we may have boldness in the day of judgment, that as He is, so also we are in this world. There is no fear in love, but perfect love casts out fear, because fear has torment. He who fears has not been perfected in love. 1John 4:16-18 The Bible says that God is LOVE... And in the same verse it says that there is no fear in love. They are opposites in the Kingdom. If we are operating in fear we are working for the enemy even if we think we are doing something 'righteous'. This would count especially in cases where we care too much what others think of us - if we are fearing people more than we fear God we are people pleasing. Having respect and love for another person is NOT the same as people pleasing and sometimes when we are immature in love we can mistake the two. We need to learn how to have respect and lov...

The Dogwood Tree

Here is a small reminder of what happened on Good Friday long ago. The dogwood was the tree chosen to construct the Cross that would be used to take the body of Jesus. Even though His body may have been taken from this earth, His spirit remains and every spring we are blessed with a reminder of the events that unfolded on that fateful weekend. The blooms often appear in the shape of a Cross with holes in the tips of the pedals signifying the nails that were driven into the Cross. If you look closely at these holes you can notice a faint red stain representing the Blood. In the center you will find a green bloom symbolizing the crown of thorns placed on the head of Jesus. The dogwood is more than a tree…it is a representation of life. With every spring we are reminded of what God did for us and given the chance to be reborn and start a new life as “children of God”. (John 3:1)
