Be Jesus

We are ambassadors of Christ. We need to be the Christian that others can follow. We need to teach by example and not by empty words. We need to be Jesus for others to follow. ~ DickEvans.org

Exposed

God exposes all in time. He brings our deepest secrets to light and He reveals our true, private motives. Be diligent in your pursuit of God. Get close to Him so he can clean out all of those secret places; so that He can wash them in His blood. ~ DickEvans.org

We Are The Same

We are all the same in God’s eyes. He made us and all that He made is good. All that we have we have because of Him. So let's stop envying others for what they might have and stop flaunting what we think we have that is so great. We are all brothers and sisters in Christ. ~ DickEvans.org

Be Careful

We have to be careful not to elevate any person based on their knowledge. The only one that should ever be looked to in that way is Jesus Himself. Nobody else can be assumed to be faithful or worthy of such a position. We must look to the Holy Spirit to guide us daily. ~ DickEvans.org

In Christ

2 Corinthians 5:17 NKJV
Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation; old things have passed away; behold, all things have become new.

Do you believe it? We read it and know what it says but we keep on keeping on doing most if the things we used to do. It is like that nothing has changed.

We still work at the same place so most of the people there are the same. We live in the same house and take the same route to work. We shop at the same market and get gas at the same station.

What has changed is you. Others now see you differently. There is a new glow in your appearance and in your voice.

His word tells us that He abides in us and us in him. And He who is in you is greater than he who is in the world.

Miracles

Miracles happen because we believe and listen to the Holy Spirit. We listen when He tells us to step out and cast out demons and to heal the sick. We listen and we reach out in faith, for He has given us the power to do so. ~ DickEvans.org

The Same

We may look different and dress different. We may have long hair or short hair. We may be a man or a woman. In the world's eye we are not the same. But in Christ we are the same. We are one with Jesus. ~ DickEvans.org

Test It

There is only one Word, one Christ Jesus. We must be careful not to let tradition take us away from Truth. We must get in His Word, stay in His Word, and in all we do test everything by His Word so we aren't deceived into sin. ~ DickEvans.org

Who We Listen To

We must be careful who we listen to. And when we do listen, we must test all that we hear and see by the Word of God before we get trapped in that same web. We must live by His Word. We must listen only to His voice and follow Him in all that we do. ~ DickEvans.org

The Plan

The plan is simple. God wants us to get to know Him, to have a close relationship with Him. Then we will be at that place where all of the plan can be revealed. ~ DickEvans.org

Healed

‭‭Romans‬ ‭8:11‬ ‭NKJV
But if the Spirit of Him who raised Jesus from the dead dwells in you, He who raised Christ from the dead will also give life to your mortal bodies through His Spirit who dwells in you.
‬
No matter what is going on with this mortal body we live in, Holy Spirit will give it life. He dwells in us, the creator of all that was, is, and ever will be.

Look to the flesh and it will disappoint you. Look to the spirit, He who lives in you and with you, and you will never be disappointed.

The challenge is keeping our eyes on that which we cannot see especially when what we see with human eyes is suffering.

Somehow we have to rise above circumstances in the flesh. We need to reach out and touch the hem of His garment. We need to get our focus on the truth of what Jesus did for us on the cross and believe it.

It Is Time

It is time for us to use the instruction manual, the Bible, and to be in constant communication with He who inspired every page in it. As we communicate with God, He reveals the plan for us. ~ DickEvans.org

Errors

Some believers notice the errors of our ways and remark that 'He is testing us'. But no, Christ does not lead us into sin. We do it all on our own by allowing wrong thinking to cloud our judgment. ~ DickEvans.org

He Knows Our Heart

The question is not about what God thinks of us. He knows us and He knows our heart. He knows we are still in this human shell dealing with our old nature daily. No, the question is how we react when another brother or sister in Christ points out our shortcoming. ~ DickEvans.org

God Calls

God calls us to be what He made us to be and we will never be real good at anything else. You weren't called to be someone else. Get closer to God and He will reveal to you with that plan is. Then you can attack it with enthusiasm and He will work miracles through your hands. ~ DickEvans.org

Tell

God sent His only Son to this world to rescue us. He came to show us a better way, a way of being free from the grip of satan and his evil ways. It is up to each and every one of us to remember that and tell others what He has done for us. Tell others how He rescued you.~ DickEvans.org

Consult

We can't let man get between us and our relationship with God. The only one we should be consulting is Holy Spirit. He will reveal the things in us that we need to deal with one at a time. He is our personal spiritual consultant. ~ DickEvans.org

Three Kinds

Galatians 5:16
So I say, let the Holy Spirit guide your lives. Then you won't be doing what your sinful nature craves.

There are three kinds of people. Those that do not know Jesus. Those that know Jesus. And those that have received Him as Lord and Savior and are born again believers.

Many in churches call themselves Christians and know about Jesus. They pray to him and worship Him. But they are Not receiving the full benefit of that knowledge.

It is more than knowing and taking a few hours out of the week to attend service and maybe to serve there. It is more than doing good things for God.

Worshipping is wonderful and the Father revels in the praises of His children. But there is more.

He sent His Son into the world to bring salvation to all. The only catch is that each believe in the Son. That each accepts Jesus as Lord and Savior.

Those that do are born again and receive the third person of the Godhead. The Holy Spirit, the spirit of Christ lives in them.

They receive all that Jesus is. They have the ability to walk as Jesus walked and see Holy Spirit move in signs and wonders through their hands. They walk with all the authority and power Jesus walked with, the same power that raised Lazarus from the grave.

They walk not by the flesh but by the spirit as they let Holy Spirit guide their lives.

God's Plan

No matter what we have decided, God already has a plan. How many of us are so focused on our plan that we miss our true purpose? God is waiting for us to seek His face. He wants to tell us His plans. ~ DickEvans.org

Unity

It is our hearts that need to be in unity with God. When we are all in unity with God, then we will be in unity with each other. We cannot do it on our own. Oh, we can pull together meetings and join together for a common purpose. But that is all in the physical sense even though it is done for all the right reasons. ~ DickEvans.org

The Story

We have to tell the story. We have to care enough to let others know about Jesus. We have to warn them so they can get out of the place they are in. We have to point out the road they need to take. We have to. ~DickEvans.org

Stay Focused

Satan wants us to be diverted us from the path God has us on. If he can be successful in luring us into his web, our character will be in question. Others will not listen to the message of good news we have to tell. We need to resist temptation and stay focused on Jesus and the task He has for us. ~ DickEvans.org

Our Roots

As we move out in our daily walk, things cross our path that are not from God. Circumstances of life occur. Are our roots deep enough in Him to get through them unscathed? Take the time each day to push those roots deeper and wider so you can withstand all the storms of life that come your way. ~ DickEvans.org

Share The Story

God sent His only Son to earth to live and die for you and I. When He died that day on the cross, He shed His blood for you and for me. All He wants from us is to tell others our story. Preach His message everywhere you go. ~DickEvans.org

These Signs Follow

Mark 16:17-18 NKJV
And these signs will follow those who believe: In My name they will cast out demons; they will speak with new tongues; they will take up serpents; and if they drink anything deadly, it will by no means hurt them; they will lay hands on the sick, and they will recover.

Some and maybe most Christians believe they are not called to heal the sick but to pray for God to heal. They pay more attention to the scripture that says if you are sick you should go to the elders and have them anoint you with oil and pray for healing. 

Don’t take this the wrong way. We are to pray for the sick as we intercede for others on their behalf. We are also to confront them one on one and heal them. 

Many either do not understand that the great commission is for today or believe that only a few are called to command healing in others. And yet many of those believe Holy Spirit is in them. 

The Father is not a respecter of persons. He is the same yesterday, today, and tomorrow for all His children. He does not give a gift to one and not another. However, we not only must believe the gift is ours. We must receive it unconditionally. 

When He said “they will lay hands on the sick, and they will recover”, He meant all who believe. And it does not say to create a flowery construct of words and biblical verses to pray over them. It simply says to lay hands on them. 

Jesus did it all at the cross. Sickness was taken care of. All curses were taken care of. Infirmity in any form was taken care of. 

Our mandate is to use the authority and power we have been given; the power of Holy Spirit in us. We are to command those things that should not be, to be gone. 

Step into the miraculous realm today. 

Go out into the world knowing you are that believer. You are the one anointed to touch others expecting healing to occur. Release the power of Jesus into their lives and miracles will occur.

Changes

We have to take control of our own actions and of our tongue. And to do that we need God’s help. We have to ask Him to help us change. We have to think before we speak and speak as we believe He would speak. ~DickEvans.org

Listen

We must allow the fullness of God to live in our human body. We must discover who we are in Him and who He is in us. Then as we listen to the Father's voice and obey, Christ in His fullness can reach those in this lost world and deliver them, heal them, and save them. ~ DickEvans.org

The Promises

Take a hold of the promises of God. You are entitled to them. Listen for His voice and do as He leads. Your life and the lives of others will be changed forever. ~ DickEvans.org
