Right Believing

Believe right and we will live right for right believing leads to right
living.

What's right believing then? Right believing is nothing more than the
inward knowing that a child of God is made righteous by the precious blood
of Jesus only. It is the consciousness of the finished work by Jesus at the
cross. It is the awareness of the completeness of Jesus' finished work at
the cross for the bible says that the work was already completed before the
beginning of the world.

How then by right believing can lead to right living? When a child of God
believes right, he or she will be restful within. When the aggressive peace
of Jesus is precedence in a Christian's life, that Christian will go about
his or her activities directed by the Holy Spirit. When an action is of the
Holy Spirit, it is definitely good, and right! Hence, right living!

However some of us still believe we have to live right more than believe
right. I am talking about a life of inactivity but rather a life that is
full of Holy Spirit directed activities! Sadly, we do things thinking we
are the captain of our ships and that everything depends on us in getting
things accomplished. We do things out of knowledge of good and evil rather
than out of rest within.

Repent for the work at the cross by Jesus is completely complete and
thoroughly finished. Believe that all our every need is already provided by
Jesus. Nothing catches God by surprise. Believe God when He says all things
will work out for our good. Rest in the shalom peace of God even in the
midst of a perfect storm and we will see the miracle that we need!
Hallelujah!

Cultivate the presence of the Lord

The bible says that the Lord will never leave us nor forsake us. Surely,
goodness and mercy will follow me all the days of my life!

In the midst of two or three, Jesus is there. Jesus always wants to be in
the midst of everything. Jesus always wants to be initimately involved in
everything we do. He already has the answer long before we face the
challenge. He wants us to know that Abba Father loves us and He is more
than willing to come into our situation and turn the whole thing for our
good.

However, we look to our own strength to resolve our problems most of the
time. We think we must be the one to do it for there is none other more
suited for the job. We think we are responsible for everything in our
lives.

We live as if there is no God in our lives. We live lives like we are the
captains of our ships. We do things thinking that by our own strength and
determination we are able to overcome all difficulties in our lives.

When we are not conscious of Jesus' presence in our lives, that will be
true. However, we have a loving almighty Heaven Father who wants to be so
involved in our every endeavour, big or small. Cultivate His presence and
see the working miracle power of God.

When we know Jesus is in control, we can live lives with a sense of
assurance that all things will turn out to be good for us. That's what the
bible says. When we are Jesus conscious, we do things knowing that He is
working within us, and through us. We can work out of rest and not of
worry.

When we know Jesus is in us, we can do all thing through Him who
strengthens us from winthin. We can face our problems with full expectation
that God will turn things for our good. Enjoy His presence all the days of
our lives and see His working miracle power manifested in our lives.
Hallelujah!
