It's all about character..

Christianity is all about character. Some become Christian because they know that if they just stick with God, there will be blessings. True. But Christianity is not about that. Christianity is about character. I know a Christian who lost her job and nearly lost her mind too! That's what happens when your Christianity is attached to the blessings. Christianity is not about the good life either. That's part of it but that's not what Christianity is about. For everyone shall be salted with fire. And God will let lose the Tempter to test everyone that is on the earth.

We know that man was created in the likeness of God. And that means 100% like God. Not just 50%, say our face looks like Him but our character is of someone else. I believe that God made man to be really like Him. That we be all that God is. That's why He says, do not worry. Because God's resources are infinite! There are more important things that we must give attention to than our bodily necessities. And God knows that we have need of them. Man does not live by bread alone but by every word that comes from the mouth of God. If we miss a meal, it won't kill us. But if we miss out on the word of God, we miss out big time! And your missing a meal could be because you missed out on the Word of God.

It's all about building our character. To really be like God. And He's already done it. He has made us new from the inside. If anyone be in Christ, he is a new creature! All that God wants us to be is already in the inside of us. He has recreated us. He has planted His seed in us. And all that we really need to do is let that new man in the inside of us become manifest. That we no longer let the outward man take control but let the inner man dominate the faculties of this physical body. God is building our character. And to do that, there will be trouble for sure. But let the inner man handle every situation and you will win every single time.

Transcribing Kathryn Kuhlman

 "It means something to be a Christian. It means something to be born again. It’s something more than just shedding of your tears. It’s much more than just kneeling down and saying a prayer. This thing of being a Christian is a life; it’s an experience; it’s a day-by-day proposition. And you haven’t really learned how to live; you have no real purpose in life; there is no real purpose for you in living; until you have been born again." "It cost everything. If you really want to know the price; if you really want to know the price, I’ll tell you. It’d cost you everything. Kathryn Kuhlman died a long time ago. I know the day, I know the hour, I can go to the spot where Kathryn Kuhlman died. But you see for me it was easy; because I had nothing." "You can only know His perfect will, and He'll only make intercession for you before the Father's throne, seeking the will of God on your behalf, when you get to a place where you have no will of your own.

Imagine Acts 1:9-11

And when he had said these things, as they were looking on, he was lifted up, and a cloud took him out of their sight. And while they were gazing into heaven as he went, behold, two men stood by them in white robes, and said, "Men of Galilee, why do you stand looking into heaven? This Jesus, who was taken up from you into heaven, will come in the same way as you saw him go into heaven." ESV (Act 1:9-11) The story is all too familiar to most people, and to them it remains to be just a story. But these things really took place. It’s not a recent event. But an event 1 hour ago is no different from an event 2 hours ago or even 2000 years ago. They all took place during the course of time. Imagine that these things took place just yesterday. And you were there. Jesus rose from the dead and then He ascended up in the clouds, and then there are these two guys who tell you, Jesus is coming back in the same manner that you saw Him go up. Get a hold of the reality of that event. ...

The Genealogy and the Gospel of Christ

That I have been introduced to two individuals now who strongly subscribe to John Calvin’s doctrines has got me thinking seriously about this subject. And so for more than a couple of months now, my reading of the Scriptures has been greatly influenced and directed towards the subject of election and predestination and God’s exercise of His absolutely sovereign  will. The book of genealogies never appealed to me and I never really got any significance from it. But today as I read through those genealogies again, something hit me really strongly. The book of genealogies actually is evidence of the move of the mighty hand of God to preserve a people for Himself. In Genesis chapter 5, at verse 4 it says: “The days of Adam after he fathered Seth were 800 years; and he had other sons and daughters.” I asked myself: What about the other sons and daughters were they not significant to God? The answer came rather quickly. They were all significant, but Seth was more significant because ...
