Offences

Others offend us. This happens again and again. But we can't stay away from everyone who does. This is not what God wants of us. Remember, the Lord forgave us, so we are to forgive others. ~ DickEvans.org

God Knows

God knows the truth. He knows what lurks behind the scenes. And He is ready and willing to change us. He is willing to deliver us from our earthly past, our dark side. With Him we can conquer our evil thoughts and desires. ~ DickEvans.org

God's Timing

Ecclesiastes 3:1  
To everything there is a season, A time for every purpose under heaven:

It is about God's timing. He has set aside the right time for everything. This is what we may think this scripture might mean. We hear this often as people wait for the manifestation of a request made to God. It is like God has a things to do list and when He gets around to it, it will happen.  

I hear people say there are three answers to prayer, yes, no, and in his timing.  

I can't seem to find any evidence of that training in my Bible, in the life of Jesus. They came to Him and He took care of their needs. He did not say the timing is not right. I will get to you later. Go and suffer some more.  

He did tell some that the time was not right to minister to the gentiles. He was there for the Jews. Yet in each case He did minister to them anyway. The timing was now.  

At Calvary Jesus said "It is finished." He hung on that cross so all could be free. Because of that all mankind can experience salvation. All can experience healing, prosperity, and the unmerited favor of God. All have the unconditional love of Father God.  

We don't walk around waiting for God's favor. We have it now; if we believe in our heart. It is not God's timing it is ours. When are we going to receive what is already true? When are we going to walk in the truth of the gospel? 

Satan is a liar and a thief. He will attempt to fill our minds with things to divide us from the truth of the gospel. He will tell us about how sick we are. He will put doubt in our mind for us to dwell on. He will work hard even through well meaning friends to divide us from the truth of the gospel.  

Just believe in God's word, in His grace and receive all Jesus made available at Calvary.

Inheritance

We don't have to split up our inheritance from God with anyone. We each get it all. He is the light and as believers we are in Him and He is in us. The inheritance is waiting for each of us to partake of. All we need is to believe and walk forward as He leads. ~ DickEvans.org

Listen

When we are in conversation with someone, we need to listen to their story. There is always an opening; we just have to listen for it. Then we can do what God called us all to do by reaching out with the Good News. ~ DickEvans.org

Changed

We need to ask God to help us change; only He can do it. As our relationship with Him progresses we find that some of those things that we had to think about and choose just are. We have changed because He has changed us. ~ DickEvans.org

Do Something

We each are called to do something. We each have been given gifts. But we are all to use our gifts together to assist each other in the big picture. We are to collaborate as we go forth in the walk God has for us. ~ DickEvans.org
