Colossians 3:5-17
☆"Therefore, Herein Is No Condemnation"☆
My purpose in doing these podcasts is only to encourage you to understand the will of the Lord; Paul wrote in Ephesians 5 Understand what the will of the Lord is. That's my purpose because many of us did not get it from the sanctuary, growing up in Church.
So the need as I see it as a lay person my desire is to encourage and help somebody along this way because except as James said it in James 1:21; Except we be doers of the word and not hearers is only we are deceiving ourselves we must be doers of God's word this is the only way we can fulfill the promise and purpose of God in us for Rebirthing us into a New Spiritual Life!
So it's important that we don't stunt our growth but we must be doing our part, God has done His Part and he's giving us a part to do, as we begin to do it we can look in the mirror and see ourselves being shaped into the image of God's son Jesus Christ that's the will of our father God!
So as you listen there is a Blessing that God stands with opening arms ready and waiting to give us, waiting for us to receive it but if we don't believe we will never receive! Therefore if we humble ourselves under the mighty hand of God and realize that all we like sheep have gone astray we've turned every one of us to our own way and yet the Lord looks down from Heaven to see if there's anyone who understands, anyone who seeks after Him. David, in his latter years understood this and begin to write asking this question; How can a young man cleanse his way and he finished it by saying; By taking heed to your word Oh! God. Isn't that wonderful, that is so profound we must put the word in so that we can live it out in our lives, it's just that simple but yet so hard for many to understand. Thank God for the Holy Spirit sent back on the day of Pentecost when Jesus, mounted up on the Clouds Of Glory and Ascended into heaven to be seated at the right hand of his Father! He stands sometimes looking down when we do what we know God would have us to do He applauds us as He looks down but then there are many times I imagine Him sitting there shaking His head wondering how long will it take for us to get it. Remember when Jesus walked the Earth and he was with his disciples as He taught them during the course of His ministry, when they showed evidence of doubt in their life and He said; oh! foolish ones, how long am I to be with you, how long will you be foolish I see the Lord saying that to us and many people professing to be a Christian but yet the evidence is not there. Hebrews 11:1 says; Now Faith is the Substance of Things Hoped for the Evidence of Things Not Seen. Well we all know, action speaks louder than words, come on somebody, hear me now we must begin to be doers of the Word of God and not just hearers only deceiving ourselves. So let's get it right! Thank you for listening now go on and have an exceptional day in Jesus why because God loves you and so do I.
In His Care,
