SALVATION - Then, Now

There is this concept about   salvation present   that refers to what we see as being saved on a daily basis. It is different from the salvation receive the day we believed and gave our lives to Christ. The salvation you receive the day you give your life to Christ saves you from the   penalty   of sin which is eternal death. The daily salvation you receive from Christ saves you from the   power   of sin. On a daily basis, we are faced with all kinds of things: tests, temptations, challenges of all sorts that seeks to pull us into sin. On a daily basis these battles rage and He saves us by providing the power to overcome.  Nothing is hidden from God! He sees through everything, and we will have to tell him the truth. We have a great high priest, who has gone into heaven, and he is Jesus the Son of God. That is why we must hold on to what we have said about him. Jesus understands every weakness of ours, because he was tempted in every way that we a...

Today, For what I am that I ought not to be, Forgive me. For what I am not that I ought to be, Forgive me.

IF...

IF... If you never felt pain, Then how would you know that I'm a Healer? If you never went through difficulty, How would you know that I'm a Deliverer? If you never had a trial, How could you call yourself an overcomer? If you never felt sadness, How would you know that I'm a Comforter? If you never made a mistake, How would you know that I'm forgiving? If you never were in trouble, How would you know that I will come to your rescue? If you never were broken, Then how would you know that I can make you whole? If you never had a problem, How would you know that I can solve them? If you never had any suffering, Then how would you know what I went through? If you never went through the fire, Then how would you become pure? If I gave you all things, How would you appreciate them? If I never corrected you, How would you know that I ...

WAIT

Image
Desperately, helplessly, longingly, I cried, Quietly, patiently, lovingly God replied. I pled and I wept for a clue to my fate, And the Master so gently said, "Child, you must wait." "Wait? You say, wait! " my indignant reply. "Lord, I need answers, I need to know why! Is your hand shortened? Or have you not heard? By Faith, I have asked, and I'm claiming your Word. My future and all to which I can relate Hangs in the balance, and YOU tell me to WAIT? I'm needing a 'yes', a go-ahead sign, Or even a 'no' to which I can resign. You promised, dear Lord, that if we believe, We need but to ask, and we shall receive. And Lord, I've been asking, and this is my cry: I'm weary of asking! I need a reply!" Then quietly, softly, I learned of my fate As my Master replied once again, "You must wait." So, I slumped in my chair, def...
