Life Unleashed

Less of Me,More of you,Lord!!

Illustration:A celebration of Life from Death of Sin being accomplished through faith in our Lord,Jesus Christ.We are called to witness and spread the Gospel to the world!!!

Be Impressed by The Father

We are called to witness, testify. God does the "drawing and saving." In the words of Jesus, "If I be lifted up I will draw all men unto me." No witnessing, testifying or preaching is wasted. The Word tells us to "Cast thy bread upon the waters: for thou shalt find it after many days." What do you find after "many days?" Soggy bread? No! You find (catch) healthy and well-fed FISH! Maybe some among us do not understand this concept. For years we have heard of ministry going into the Nursing Homes and other Institutions preaching the Word. Do they get a lot of converts and tithe payers from those efforts. No. However, they DO see a constant stream of visitors to there services that are just "driving by" and are DRAWN by an invisible and irresistible force. We cast Bread upon many Waters and are reaping Well-Fed and Healthy FISH at home! Preach the Word whenever and wherever!

2 Corinthians 3:1-6

Are we beginning to commend ourselves again? We don’t need letters of recommendation to you or from you as some other people do, do we? You yourselves are our letter, written on our hearts, known and read by everyone, revealing that you are a letter of Christ, delivered by us, written not with ink but by the Spirit of the living God, not on stone tablets but on tablets of human hearts. Now we have such confidence in God through Christ. Not that we are adequate in ourselves to consider anything as if it were coming from ourselves, but our adequacy is from God, who made us adequate to be servants of a new covenant not based on the letter but on the Spirit, for the letter kills, but the Spirit gives life.

1 John 4:1-2

1 Beloved, believe not every spirit, but try the spirits whether they are of God: because many false prophets are gone out into the world.

2 Hereby know ye the Spirit of God: Every spirit that confesseth that Jesus Christ is come in the flesh is of God:

The Father,God gives Abundantly.... "Life , Love , Eternal Joy"

Paul tells us in Corinthians{12:1} Now concerning spiritual gifts, brethren, I would

not have you ignorant.

So,Lets look at this verse in relation to the being informed of how to not to be ignorant of the glory of God.

First,Genesis{1:1} In the beginning God..After that,{1:3} And God said...Then he starts laying out the world as we know it.Then look at what happens in verse 1:26 And God said, Let us make man in our image,after our likeness: and let them have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the fowl of the air, and over the cattle.

"Who" was he talking to and "who" was he referring to when he says "IN OUR IMAGE"and "AFTER OUR LIKENESS"?It had to be God,the Son,and the Holy Spirit and maybe the angels in heaven because,It was the ut-most importants of creation to God,that he would make it in His and there image and likeness.It was so important to Him,that he give it "DOMINION" over everything!Well,we come to find that "we" are this very thing, that God made,that he had to show,in heaven,how great this creation was, that they would have dominion over all!

This is the very first "GIFT" that the Father gave us as his children,LIFE!! and we were so important to God that he made us in the likeness of the angels and Himself!Because he said "AND IT WAS GOOD",along with everything else.This is one of the things we need to keep in mind when we ever get to a point in life that makes us question our own existence.The Father didn't just make us along side of everything else,but he seen such an importance and loved what he had made, that he put us in charge of his creation!For the first time, there was given to another being,other than heavenly bodies,"AUTHORITY" and with that,came an understanding of Free-Will.Free will is the ability to choose between different possible courses of action. It is closely linked to the concepts of responsibility, praise, guilt, sin, and other judgments which apply only to actions that are freely chosen.God showed this to his Heavenly audience, that leaves me in awe to comprehend in my own little fleshy mind! So,with that said,I have to believe that the purpose of our life is far greater than our own personal fulfillment,our peace of mind,or even our happiness.It's far greater than our family,our career,or even our wildest dreams and ambitions.If we want to know why we were placed on this planet,we must begin with God.We were born by his purpose and for his purpose.
