Series 2.2.19 - #50

 

February 19, 2004

The world cannot know God, but I know him. He has given me peace and many blessings. The things that he has given me are not as the things that the world gives, so I do not allow my heart to be troubled, neither will I allow it to be afraid. I rise up with a grateful heart and will be filled with the voice of thanksgiving. Blessed are the people of the Lord who will be found watching. The Lord will make everyone who watches to sit down and eat meat with him. I determine not to lose my relationship with him to a thief. He will come in an hour that I think not; therefore, I will be ready always. If I do not have faith to watch, then I will not have faith as a grain of mustard seed. If I do not have faith to say unto myself, "Watch," then I will not be able to say unto the sycamine tree, "Be thou plucked up by the root, and be planted in the sea." I arise and worship out of a love for God and not out of duty. I truly love the Lord, and I will keep his words. He will come unto me continually if I love him and keep his sayings. These words that I am hearing are the words of the Father who lives inside of me. I am thankful that I am called and chosen; therefore, I will be faithful.

 

 

Hebrews 10:22 - 23

Let us draw near with a true heart in full assurance of faith, having our hearts sprinkled from an evil conscience, and our bodies washed with pure water. Let us hold fast the profession of our faith without wavering; (for he is faithful that promised;)

 

Ephesians 2:8-9

For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God: Not of works, lest any man should boast.
