Colossians 1:13-18 NASB. For He rescued us from the domain of darkness, and transferred us to the kingdom of His beloved Son, in whom we have redemption, the forgiveness of sins. He is the image of the invisible God, the firstborn of all creation. For by Him all things were created, both in the heavens and on earth, visible and invisible, whether thrones or dominions or rulers or authorities—all things have been created through Him and for Him. He is before all things, and in Him all things hold together. He is also head of the body, the church; and He is the beginning, the firstborn from the dead, so that He Himself will come to have first place in everything. {tweetme} For by Him all things were created, both in the heavens and on earth, visible and invisible, whether thrones or dominions or rulers or authorities—all things have been created through Him and for Him. {/tweetme}

We are again in historical times. This move of God is not just a movement in the church. It is a movement of God’s church into society; rewriting the agendas of education, health, business and lifestyle to align with God’s kingdom…. what if to cast all our cares is to give a hard look at our life and acknowledge it’s man-made stressors like synthetic food, electronics as communication, social media as hobbies, too much information and not enough knowledge, and actually cast it all to Him… let it go, return to the garden, return to walking daily with God, praising Him for all things, worshipping Him with all you’ve got, read the Bible every day, in fact start the day and end the day reading Gods word, …. Worth contemplating, get on your knees before God and pray for discernment and understanding, Holy Spirit knows the answer, He knows the way the truth the life, He will give freely when we seek the truth. Because the Lord teaches us.....

God has placed a myriad of people on our path so that we will do everything that we can to be part of their salvation story. Whether it is a lifelong friendship or a 15 minute chat with fellow coffee drinker waiting in a lineup. Following Jesus means that we must be willing to share Jesus with other people, be willing to speak about repentance, redemption, rescue! Wherever we go, we pray for their lives, that they may receive Holy Spirit, that they will surrender to God our Heavenly Father, and follow Jesus the Christ, the way, the truth, the life, the Saviour! Hallelujah!

Repentance is a rich biblical term that signifies an elemental transformation in someone’s mind, heart, and life. When people repent, we turn from walking in the direction of eternal destruction to running into the arms of Jesus and from that point forward, we think differently, believe differently, feel differently, love differently, and live differently. God is the great "I Am" and Jesus’ call to repentance, then and now is a summons for God’s people to renounce sin and all dependence on self for salvation. {tweetme}The only decision to make is before us now. {/tweetme}Only by turning from sin—away from ourselves and toward Jesus the Christ—will we be saved.

God will bring the high places low. He will humble us and dismantle our ego. He will lift the heavy burden from your shoulders and even carry you when you’re too weary to walk on your own. He will put you right where you’re thinking wrong. The Lord will not only save your soul, He’ll transform you into His image!
But the road is not easy; we may not feel prepared for such a journey. Fear not. Jesus is preparing His people, preparing the way.

Contemplate the moment in history when four fishermen were working the sea on what must have started out as a regular day. Jesus approached them. “Follow me,” He said, “and I will make you fishers of men.” With that, Jesus beckoned these men spoken of in Matthew 4 to leave behind their professions, possessions, dreams, ambitions, family, friends, safety, and security. He bid them to choose. {tweetme}“If anyone is going to follow Me,” Jesus said, “He must deny himself.” {/tweetme} That is an invitation and a command. In a world where everything revolves around self—protect yourself, promote yourself, preserve yourself, entertain yourself, comfort yourself, take care of yourself—Jesus says, “die to self” and you will surely live.

There is no day better than today to live for Christ. Even as believers, we are called to continual repentance and restoration in our walk with the Lord rather than choosing to play God in our own lives. As our hearts grow more sensitive to our sin and we experience His continued patience towards us, His kindness will lead us to holiness. And when you live with God at the center of your life, with Him playing the part that only He can, you find that you are able joyfully and confidently to fulfill the role He has given you—to live out the life He has gifted you and the purpose for which He invited you into, a life spent enjoying, knowing, and serving Him. Amen!

Psalms 119:41-48 NASB “May Your loving kindnesses also come to me, O Lord, Your salvation according to Your word; So I will have an answer for him who reproaches me, For I trust in Your word. And do not take the word of truth utterly out of my mouth, For I wait for Your ordinances. So I will keep Your law continually, Forever and ever. And I will walk at liberty, For I seek Your precepts. I will also speak of Your testimonies before kings And shall not be ashamed. I shall delight in Your commandments, Which I love. And I shall lift up my hands to Your commandments, Which I love; And I will meditate on Your statutes.”

Our only hope is Jesus. He who shares in all our pain shares in it as the pure and holy One. Jesus Christ is not the one who needs rescue - He provides it. This is why we can go to Him to “receive mercy and find grace”. He Himself is not trapped in the pit of sin with us; but He alone can pull us out.
He is all that is all that will be, He is salvation.

We can get so focused on the 5 feet around us that we forget our personal relationship with God. The Lord is the only name that should matter to us because Jesus Christ is the only One who can lead us to eternal life.

God’s purpose and His promises have not changed. Maybe our circumstances have, but His word is unchanging. It’s time to occupy the promises of God. The Lord our God is strong and mighty.

Every human heart is searching for something. Deep in the soul of humanity, there is this void that we try to fill. Yet know this without doubt - Only Jesus the Christ, messiah, saviour, can flood our emptiness, oh sure we charge ahead looking in the wrong place for that thing or especially a person, leader, that will mediate and connect the divine to our mortal existence seeking to belong in this world, to be fully known by our peers, to find fulfillment and purpose and accolades in our surroundings…… friend stop. There is no aimless wandering necessary, right now in this moment you can choose to take the hand of Jesus, in fact let Him lift you out of the dark and into His light…… the seeking nature of man is a gift from God to shepherd His people with Him through the narrow gate to eternal life, we will go where are heart is seeking if our eyes remain fixed on the perfector of our faith, Jesus, with Him we will wander no more…….. God we praise You for the Bible, thank You Holy Spirit, teach us about sanctification, repentance, redemption, salvation - teach us more of the One mediator, Jesus the Christ.

If we, as followers of Christ, gain the understanding that with Jesus Messiah we have found our God-given purpose - and therefore know our lives will be infinitely fulfilled with the presence of the king of kings, we can really quite simply wear an unshakeable faith like a shield, able to extinguish all the flaming arrows of the evil one (taught in Ephesians 6:16 NASB)

We can have information and not have the truth. We can have emotions and not be responding to the truth. If you and I want to partake in the Lord’s victory in this spiritual war, that means we have to identify the issue—the subject at hand, the attack that we are experiencing, the evil day that seems to be coming against us. Then we’re going to have to rush to Jesus Christ and find out what God says about that matter. Many times in our spiritual war, we get everybody else’s input on a matter, including our jaded view. We may even have the facts, but we can have the facts and still not know the truth. If we want to claim Jesus Christ’s victory in our physical and spiritual life, we are going to have to put on the robe of God’s righteousness, relentlessly wear the armour of God, and reside with God’s truth. Jesus teaches in John 8:32, only the truth can set you free, Jesus Christ is the truth. Walk with that kind of faith.
