Obey

Daily we are to listen for the Holy Spirit and obey His words. We are to take that walk of faith. ~ DickEvans.org

Argue

When confronted we are not to argue our faith. It is not possible to win an argument when the other person has a veil over their eyes. Treat them with the love of Christ and they will see His fruit in your life. ~ DickEvans.org

God"s Plan

God has the plan for our lives. It is in our seeking Him that we find the path to take. We cannot get it from another man. We cannot get it from books and tapes and conferences. We get it from God as we seek His face. ~ DickEvans.org

Potential

Jesus looks past the outward appearance to the potential inside, but most people don't. Most miss the potential because of how they look and how they speak. May we begin to see with our spiritual eyes. ~ DickEvans.org

The Vine

John 15:5 NIV

I am the vine; you are the branches. If you remain in me and I in you, you will bear much fruit; apart from me you can do nothing

I have heard sermons about how we are grafted into the vine. Joined with Christ. Placed in a vine that was meant for the jews. As gentiles we were allowed a place. But watch out. If we aren't careful we could be removed. 

How silly those thoughts are. Even someone as ignorant about plants as I am knows that once grafted in that piece of the plant is stronger than the originals. 

When we receive Jesus in our heart as our savior we are grafted in forever. There is nothing we can or cannot do to be removed. 

Father God gives us gifts. He grants us salvation and the gift of grace. Once given a gift is never taken back or it would not have been a gift.

Jesus went to the cross and paid our sin debt so we never have to worry again. His forgiveness is forevermore. Nothing we do can take that away. He will never leave us or forsake us. 

His gifts are without repentance. (Romans 11:29) We don't earn them and we do not have to do anything to keep them. 

He remembers our sin no more. (Hebrews 8:12) Those events in our lives are as far from Him as the east is from the west. 

Thank you Father for grafting me into the vine. For your Son abiding in me and me in Him. Thank you for your mercy and grace. And for your everlasting forgiveness. In Jesus name I pray.

Wisdom

Godly wisdom comes from God. As we walk forth in faith, Holy Spirit leads us into areas He has for us to go. He supplies all the wisdom we need. As we obey Him, He gives us more, continually increasing our ability to use those gifts that He has placed within us. ~ DickEvans.org

Obey

What does God want of us?  He wants us to follow Jesus, to let Holy Spirit lead us to where we are to go to do His work. He wants us to listen and obey. ~ DickEvans.org
