"If you are waiting on me, then you are backing up" part 2

Well you are back, huh,
Let's review a little bit. We are here in charge of the earth, by God's provision and will. We have been redeemed, by the blood of Jesus, and are not ever judged for sin, again. We are reborn, entirely new creatures, in Christ. As the title states, if we wait on God, to do, we are not moving forward. Not only that, but we do not acknowledge what was done in the work of Jesus. THIS and only this is the focus, of which, I'd hope you may grasp. Notice<>done. This is past tense and has already happened nearly 2000 years ago. Do we believe Jesus has to die again to forgive us? How about, so we may be healed, or what of giving us provision? Why do we ask for what we already have and for what has already been finished, then gifted to us. Sometimes we act and speak in this manner. Don't we?Jesus died for our sins and became sin. As sin he died. Sin did not wake up on the third day, yet Jesus DID! Let's refer to a couple of things that James told us in the New Covenant. In 1:8, he tells us a double minded man is unstable. So we must get this thing of which Jesus died for put to rest and not be mixed up about it. We must stop contradicting ourselves, while limiting God and grow our faith up to a genuine belief. James also exhorted that we must be doers of the Word and not hearers only, in verse 22. Why are we so easily defeated when the victory has already been won? Do we or do we not, believe that Jesus lived, died and arose. And do we believe that He went into the depths and dark places, defeated and conquered, death, hell and the grave! Cancer is death by another name, poverty is hell by another name, negative hopelessness is the grave by another name! We say we do, believe, come on now! We oppose ourselves! How come we have these things when Jesus defeated them? Especially when we say He did and live as He did not. Is that doublemindedness?We pray, as Jesus taught, "thy kingdom come, thy will be done, on earth, AS IT IS IN HEAVEN". Do you even hear the words......God's will be done? How about that? Do we know what that is? God's will. God's will IS done in heaven! In heaven, we're told, there is no sickness, no poverty, no tears, no cancer, no hatred, no selfishness, no hunger. Huh? That's right, isn't it? Well, how about here on earth? David writes, that God's Word IS established, in heaven. It is not, however, established here on earth. Man's will, gifted from God, is the strongest power in the earth, today. We can even deny God, Himself>Not until we speak it(the Word) back to God, from the abundance of our hearts. We can establish God's Word, here on the earth! Yes, this being among our greatest responsibilities. If we would establish God's word, we would be established, ourselves. Yet we work so fervently to establish ourselves......uh oh..... Is that it, you reckon? We may just be a little out of wack, due to selfishness. No one likes to hear it, no one likes to admit it, but it is evident. Not even, but especially, in the churches! We pray for ourselves, we testify of ourselves, we do works for our credit and benefit and recognition. We even acknowledge God and feebly attempt to describe Him as by what He is doing in us, for us, through us!!!!! God's bigger than that! Wake up! We must get to know God by a different prospective and point of view. Stop asking God to use you. You don't mean it or you'd be doing something of use, and God blessing it, through His Word of Truth. He cannot use you, if you are not in motion. We have been gifted with the Holy Word and the Holy Ghost. We should not suffer so, to know God's very own will and mind, as it relates to us. Two things; IT IS WRITTEN and HE LIVES IN US. What about it. Where can anyone find an excuse? Are you sick? Are you broke? Are you diseased? Are you afflicted? Where ever these things live, God did not bring them to us. He defeated them, AS US and for us, because of us. He loves us......Do you know that?
Well this wasn't anything like I thought was going to be wrote. laughter. I guess I'll read this, reflect and sum up in part 3. Read God's Word! It is your decision. Nothing will be done for you that hasn't already been done. It's up to us to do. While we do, God performs HIS WORD, in our lives. He said He would and He does. We have been bought. We are bound to this, as believers.


Live, learn, love
