God Chooses

God still does the choosing. We may chase them, but it isn't until God chooses them that our words are really heard in their heart. It is then that they are ready to let the Truth deep inside. It is then that they believe and are saved, good works or not. ~ DickEvans.org

Listen

The Holy Spirit does not present His own ideas to us. All of the information He feeds us comes from the Father. God is the source of all. Jesus tells us that He never did anything without consulting the Father first. Are we not to do the same? ~ DickEvans.org

In Christ

Jesus is the anointing and the anointing is in us. We are in Christ and He is in us. It is not with skillfully created responses that we win others to Him. It is by being His ambassador, by being a light in a dark place. ~ DickEvans.org

Listen

God expects us to do our part. We ask of Him and then listen to what He says; listen to His response. After we act on His words back to us, we will see the fruit of His words. The end result may not look at all like our original request. ~ DickEvans.org

He Grows Us

We need to stop getting so wrapped up in who planted the seed in us and who watered that seed for a season or more. It is our relationship with God that caused us to grow. He grows us as we go; as we listen to Him and obey. ~ DickEvans.org

Recognition

Peter reminds us in 1 Peter 5:6 that it is not what man thinks or says about our accomplishments. It is encouraging to hear good words spoken about us, but it is recognition from God that counts more than any human praise. ~ DickEvans.org

Just Believe

John 6:29 NLT
Jesus told them, “This is the only work God wants from you: Believe in the one he has sent.”

How easy they had it back then and did not even realize it. The people saw Jesus on a day to day basis and yet still did not believe He was who He said. And they even saw and believed in the miraculous healings everywhere He went.

And here we are today still hearing people saying things like “If I see it with my own eyes I will believe it.”

Well we cannot see Jesus himself face to face until we enter Paradise to be with Him. And yet we can see Him in every born again believer. He is alive today and actively working through each of His followers; each of those who believe.

But how will others believe in Him who we believe if we don’t get out into the sea of unbelievers and show them? We are His light to a lost world and His commandment to us is the same today as it was when He spoke it to His disciples. “Go into all the world and preach the Good News to everyone.”
