Bondservant

No longer will we allow ourselves to be slaves to the father of this world. No longer will we be pushed and pulled to this temptation or that one. We will instead be slaves to Christ, bondservants to Him and forever on our journey to eternity. ~ DickEvans.org

Resident Aliens

As we live our life knitted to Christ, non-believers see the changes in us and respect what they see. But if we live like we have always lived, what testimony does that deliver to them? Let our lives be testimony to His greatness as we fill the role of resident alien in our own cities. ~ DickEvans.org

Make Every Effort

God wants us to believe in Jesus and become born again, but then He expects us to make every effort to live that pure and blameless life as we allow Him to change us into His image. ~ DickEvans.org

His Work

Although our works are applauded by many, they may only be just that; our works. They give us stature and position here on earth, but they may not get us one step closer to our purpose in God. It is His work that counts. ~ DickEvans.org

Works

John 5:19 NLT
So Jesus explained, “I tell you the truth, the Son can do nothing by himself. He does only what he sees the Father doing. Whatever the Father does, the Son also does.

Nothing wrong with doing works for God. Just don’t let them take precedent over the works Holy Spirit has for you to do. Don’t let your works cause blinders that prevent you from seeing what He has called you to do.

Wait on God to bring you to the place He needs you to be. Trust Him to fulfill all His promises. Then watch what He does.

Don’t get ahead of God. He has a plan. Don’t be so anxious that your plan stops His. Allow Him to use you to fulfill His.

Remember we were saved through faith by grace and not by our works. The only work is to believe in Jesus.

WWJD or what would Jesus do is a cute saying. It has led many to march forward doing good things; doing what their mind or someone else thought God has for them to do.

But what did Jesus do? He did what He saw the Father doing. He was led by the Holy Spirit. And that is what we are to do. It is not about our understanding. No, it is about letting go and allowing Holy Spirit work through us. Letting Him change us from the inside out.

Thank you Jesus for saving me; for my being born again and securing the salvation of my spirit. Help me to let go of my mind, will, and emotions to allow Holy Spirit to change me and save my soul.

Believe it and receive it

Freedom

Jesus gave up His life for our freedom. He freed us from sin and gave us passage rights into eternity with Him. I can imagine how the first hand reports of the events at the Cross were passed from person to person. His story lives on in each and every believer that is being transformed into His image daily. ~ DickEvans.org

Can't Hide

God see us all, all the time. How often do we really think about that? How many things would we do differently if we really understood that statement? Nothing can hide from Him. Isn't it time we started to live like we know it? ~ DickEvans.org
