Reconciling My Differences

Reconciling My Differences

 

...We also rejoice and exultingly glory in God [in His love and perfection] through our Lord Jesus Christ, through Whom we have now received and enjoy [our] reconciliation. Romans 5:11

  Many times we, as humanly possible, go through life without any restoration and adjustments to make matters beter. We become bogged down with matters, making each day more difficult to handle. Frustrations hammer at the souls of plenty, cause a horrible relapse of constant anger, termoil, and anguish.

  Reconciling differences within one's self can revitalize brighter days and better ways of living. "Atonement" is the reconciliation, exchange, adjustment and restoration of divine favor.

  How shall I reconcile my differences within myself and with God?

  Only with God through the Lord Jesus Christ shall we:

 

• be justified by faith
• have peace
• have access by faith into grace
• rejoice in hope
• glory in tribulations
• endure with patience
• develop maturity of character through experiences
• produce a habit of joy and confidence in the hope of salvation now and forevermore.

  The ultimate and ideal hope neither disappoints nor shames. The believer trusts in God's love (Christ's (the Messiah, the Annointed One) life, death, and resurrection). The Lord has saturated his heart through the gift of the Holy Spirit that has been given to him.

  Receive and enjoy the reconciliation that God has given in His love and perfection.  "...Let him who glories glory in this: that he understands and knows Me [personally and practically, directly discerning and recognizing My character], that I am the Lord, Who practices loving-kindness, judgment, and righteousness in the earth, for in these things I delight, says the Lord." Jeremiah 9:24

 "But all things are from God, Who through Jesus Christ reconciled us to Himself [received us into favor, brought us into harmony with Himself] and gave to us the ministry of reconciliation [that by word and deed we might aim to bring others into harmony with Him]. It was God [personally present] in Christ, reconciling and restoring the world to favor with Himself, not counting up and holding against [men] their trespasses [but cancelling them], and committing to us the message of reconciliation (of the restoration to favor)." 2 Corinthians 5:18-19

 Make the change. Make an adjustment to life where the Lord is Supreme. Exchange for a restoration to the divine favor.

Dead Yet Alive

Dead Yet Alive

Now after the death of Moses the servant of the LORD it came to pass, that the LORD spake unto Joshua the son of Nun, Moses' minister, saying, Moses my servant is dead; now therefore arise, go over this Jordan, thou, and all this people, unto the land which I do give to them, even to the children of Israel. Joshua 1:1-2
Physical death is inevitable, but not necessarily eternal . Every person has a dying day before them, regardless of age or accomplishment. The decision between heaven and hades is based belief and faith in Everlasting God.
Spiritual death is is the transformation from old evil ways to a good spiritual life. Letting go of the deadly, troubling past allows you to move on to better, brighter days. Living a strong Holy Spiritual life provides an avenue for the greatest things to occur in one's life.
Believers should look forward to gaining wisdom that kills off bad habits and ways. This sort of change is good, growing in mind, body and soul, and allows you to hear and receive God's Word and promises more clearly and effectively.

Keys to Living In God's Abundant Promises

1. Accept the dead (hardships, disappointments, losses, shortcomings, wrongdoings, etc.), not in torture, but in testimony. Regarding your past, instead of carrying a bag of bitterness, maintain a precious treasure chest of testimony you may share with others.
2. Rise up and take your place in purpose and destiny.
3. Move from your current stance in life to the unlimited promises God has for you.

By keeping your faith in Him, it accounts for righteousness. Never let it depart from you, meditating on the Word day and night, observing and doing all things accordingly. This allows maturity as more deadly ways depart from your heart, mind and soul. This also allows you to have eternal prosperity, wisdom and good success in health, wealth and soul.
