Your blue print of success in Him

Lead me, O Lord, in thy righteousness because of mine enemies; make thy way straight before my face.
Psalms 5:8 (KJV)

The kind of leader you have will determine your level of success in life. There are degrees of success in life. Some are successful only locally whiles others are successful both locally and internally. True success comes from God; it comes when you are led by the Word of God. God’s kind of success is the product of His Word. Dear beloved, always ask God to lead you in His Word; it is the only sure way to walk in His righteousness and be guaranteed of success and victory. If you act in your own wisdom or knowledge, it can only lead to failure and disappointment because your enemies will have an upper hand over you. Listen and follow leaders who are living the life of Christ so that you can be motivated to live a Christ-like life. May the Lord guide you to always make the right choice and be successful. Hallelujah! Be An Overcomer!

Faith that believe

shall come to me.”
John 6:37 (KJV)

This declaration involves the doctrine of election: there are some whom the Father gave to Christ. It involves the doctrine of effectual calling: these who are given must and shall come; however stoutly they may set themselves against it, yet they shall be brought out of darkness into God’s marvellous light. It teaches us the indispensable necessity of faith; for even those who are given to Christ are not saved except they come to Jesus. Even they must come, for there is no other way to heaven but by the door, Christ Jesus. All that the Father gives to our Redeemer must come to him, therefore none can come to heaven except they come to Christ. Oh! the power and majesty which rest in the words “shall come.” He does not say they have power to come, nor they may come if they will, but they “shall come.” The Lord Jesus doth by his messengers, his word, and his Spirit, sweetly and graciously compel men to come in that they may eat of his marriage supper; and this he does, not by any violation of the free agency of man, but by the power of his grace. Now the street Preacher may exercise power over another man’s will, calling all men to repent and yet that other man’s will may be perfectly free, because the constraint is exercised in a manner accordant with the laws of the human mind. The Son of Man knows how, by irresistible arguments addressed to the understanding, by mighty reasons appealing to the affections, and by the mysterious influence of his Holy Spirit operating upon all the powers and passions of the soul, so to subdue the whole man, that whereas he was once rebellious, he yields cheerfully to his government, subdued by sovereign love. But how shall those be known whom God hath chosen? By this result: that they do willingly and joyfully accept Christ, and come to him with simple and unfeigned faith, resting upon him as all their salvation and all their desire. Reader, have you thus come to Jesus?

In the beginning was the Word,

The same was

All things were made by him;

The cross save us

“Jesus said unto them, If ye seek me, let these go their way.”
John 18:8
Believe! the care which Jesus manifested even in his hour of trial, towards the sheep of his hand! The ruling passion is strong in death. He resigns himself to the enemy, but he interposes a word of power to set his disciples free. As to himself, like a sheep before her shearers he is dumb and opened not his mouth, but for his disciples’ sake he speaks with almighty energy. Herein is love, constant, self-forgetting, faithful love. But is there not far more here than is to be found upon the surface? Have we not the very soul and spirit of the atonement in these words? The Good Shepherd lays down his life for the sheep, and pleads that they must therefore go free. The Surety is bound, and justice demands that those for whom he stands a substitute should go their way. In the midst of Egypt’s bondage, that voice rings as a word of power, “Let these go their way.” Out of slavery of sin and Satan the redeemed must come. In every cell of the dungeons of Despair, the sound is echoed, “Let these go their way,” and forth come Despondency and Much-afraid. Satan hears the well-known voice, and lifts his foot from the neck of the fallen; and Death hears it, and the grave opens her gates to let the dead arise. Their way is one of progress, holiness, triumph, glory, and none shall dare to stay them in it. No lion shall be on their way, neither shall any ravenous beast go up thereon. “The hind of the morning” has drawn the cruel hunters upon himself, and now the most timid roes and hinds of the field may graze at perfect peace among the lilies of his loves. The thunder-cloud has burst over the Cross of Calvary, and the pilgrims of Zion shall never be smitten by the bolts of vengeance. Come, my heart, rejoice in the immunity which thy Redeemer has secured thee, and bless his name all the day, and every day.

Remain in the otherside

"When Jesus had crossed over the boat to the other side of the lake, a large crowd gathered around Him."
Mark 5:21

Jesus never enjoyed much elbow room during His public ministry. There was always a multitude, pushing and showing to get there to be closer. When He taught in the temple, there was hardly space to breathe. When He taught in a home, people stood wall-to-wall, spilling out into the front yard and hanging from the roof. And when He tried to escape the crowd in a boat, He dropped anchor on the other side only to find another horde awaiting Him. No room for Jesus--His life even began that way at the crowded Inn.
There was one place, however, where Jesus had more than enough room almost too much space. It was a place where nobody was showing to get close, no one wanted a ringside seat. There was plenty of room near the cross.
Sadly, it's true today. Many are satisfied to remain at a safe distance from the cross. Yet if we are to see real and lasting change in ours lives, if we to reckon ourselves dead to sin it requires keeping near the cross.

HIS PRESENCE

Take up thy bed, and walk.”
John 5:8

Like many others, the impotent man had been waiting for a wonder to be wrought, and a sign to be given. Wearily did he watch the pool, but no angel came, or came not for him; yet, thinking it to be his only chance, he waited still, and knew not that there was One near him whose word could heal him in a moment. Many are in the same plight: they are waiting for some singular emotion, remarkable impression, or celestial vision; they wait in vain and watch for nought. Even supposing that, in a few cases, remarkable signs are seen, yet these are rare, and no man has a right to look for them in his own case; no man especially who feels his impotency to avail himself of the moving of the water even if it came. It is a very sad reflection that tens of thousands are now waiting in the use of means, and ordinances, and vows, and resolutions, and have so waited time out of mind, in vain, utterly in vain. Meanwhile these poor souls forget the present Saviour, who bids them look unto him and be saved. He could heal them at once, but they prefer to wait for an angel and a wonder. To trust him is the sure way to every blessing, and he is worthy of the most implicit confidence; but unbelief makes them prefer the cold porches of Bethesda to the warm bosom of his love. O that the Lord may turn his eye upon the multitudes who are in this case tonight; may he forgive the slights which they put upon his divine power, and call them by that sweet constraining voice, to rise from the bed of despair, and in the energy of faith take up their bed and walk. O Lord, hear our prayer for all such at this calm hour of sunset, and ere the day breaketh may they look and live. Courteous reader, is there anything in this portion for you?

Our God Save

Forsake me not, O Lord.”
Psalm 38:21

Frequently we pray that God would not forsake us in the hour of trial and temptation, but we too much forget that we have need to use this prayer at all times. There is no moment of our life, however holy, in which we can do without his constant upholding. Whether in light or in darkness, in communion or in temptation, we alike need the prayer, “Forsake me not, O Lord.” “Hold thou me up, and I shall be safe.” A little child, while learning to walk, always needs the nurse’s aid. The ship left by the pilot drifts at once from her course. We cannot do without continued aid from above; let it then be your prayer today, “Forsake me not. Father, forsake not thy child, lest he fall by the hand of the enemy. Shepherd, forsake not thy lamb, lest he wander from the safety of the fold. Great Husbandman, forsake not thy plant, lest it wither and die. ‘Forsake me not, O Lord,’ now; and forsake me not at any moment of my life. Forsake me not in my joys, lest they absorb my heart. Forsake me not in my sorrows, lest I murmur against thee. Forsake me not in the day of my repentance, lest I lose the hope of pardon, and fall into despair; and forsake me not in the day of my strongest faith, lest faith degenerate into presumption. Forsake me not, for without thee I am weak, but with thee I am strong. Forsake me not, for my path is dangerous, and full of snares, and I cannot do without thy guidance. The hen forsakes not her brood; do thou then evermore cover me with thy feathers, and permit me under thy wings to find my refuge. ‘Be not far from me, O Lord, for trouble is near, for there is none to help.’ ‘Leave me not, neither forsake me, O God of my salvation!’” “O ever in our cleansed breast, Bid thine Eternal Spirit rest; And make our secret soul to be A temple pure and worthy thee.”

A gift from God

Salvation is of the Lord.” Jonah 2:9 Salvation is the work of God. It is he alone who quickens the soul “dead in trespasses and sins,” and it is he also who maintains the soul in its spiritual life. He is both “Alpha and Omega.” “Salvation is of the Lord.” If I am prayerful, God makes me prayerful; if I have graces, they are God’s gifts to me; if I hold on in a consistent life, it is because he upholds me with his hand. I do nothing whatever towards my own preservation, except what God himself first does in me. Whatever I have, all my goodness is of the Lord alone. Wherein I sin, that is my own; but wherein I act rightly, that is of God, wholly and completely. If I have repulsed a spiritual enemy, the Lord’s strength nerved my arm. Do I live before men a consecrated life? It is not I, but Christ who liveth in me. Am I sanctified? I did not cleanse myself: God’s Holy Spirit sanctifies me. Am I weaned from the world? I am weaned by God's chastisements sanctified to my good. Do I grow in knowledge? The great Instructor teaches me. All my jewels were fashioned by heavenly art. I find in God all that I want; but I find in myself nothing but sin and misery. “He only is my rock and my salvation.” Do I feed on the Word? That Word would be no food for me unless the Lord made it food for my soul, and helped me to feed upon it. Do I live on the manna which comes down from heaven? What is that manna but Jesus Christ himself incarnate, whose body and whose blood I eat and drink? Am I continually receiving fresh increase of strength? Where do I gather my might? My help cometh from heaven’s hills: without Jesus I can do nothing. As a branch cannot bring forth fruit except it abide in the vine, no more can I, except I abide in him. What Jonah learned in the great deep, let me learn this morning in my closet: “Salvation is of the Lord.”

The inner Man

When I cry unto thee, then shall mine enemies turn back: this I know; for God is for me.” Psalm 56:9 It is impossible for any human speech to express the full meaning of this delightful phrase, “God is for me.” He was “for us” before the worlds were made; he was “for us,” or he would not have given his well-beloved son; he was “for us” when he smote the Only-begotten, and laid the full weight of his wrath upon him—he was “for us,” though he was against him; he was “for us,” when we were ruined in the fall—he loved us notwithstanding all; he was “for us,” when we were rebels against him, and with a high hand were bidding him defiance; he was “for us,” or he would not have brought us humbly to seek his face. He has been “for us” in many struggles; we have been summoned to encounter hosts of dangers; we have been assailed by temptations from without and within—how could we have remained unharmed to this hour if he had not been “for us”? He is “for us,” with all the infinity of his being; with all the omnipotence of his love; with all the infallibility of his wisdom; arrayed in all his divine attributes, he is “for us,”—eternally and immutably “for us”; “for us” when yon blue skies shall be rolled up like a worn out vesture; “for us” throughout eternity. And because he is “for us,” the voice of prayer will always ensure his help. “When I cry unto thee, then shall mine enemies be turned back.” This is no uncertain hope, but a well grounded assurance—“this I know.” I will direct my prayer unto thee, and will look up for the answer, assured that it will come, and that mine enemies shall be defeated, “for God is for me.” O believer, how happy art thou with the King of kings on thy side! How safe with such a Protector! How sure thy cause pleaded by such an Advocate! If God be for thee, who can be against thee?

Our God is Wonderful

God Is Wonderful Out of the mouth of babes and sucklings hast thou ordained strength because of thine enemies, that thou mightest still the enemy and the avenger. Psalms 8:2 (KJV) The God that we serve is full of so much wonders you cannot imagine. Who would have thought that babies could be used as weapons to fight enemies? It is only God who can do this. The New International Version quotes the opening Scripture as, “Through the praise of children and infants you have established a stronghold against your enemies, to silence the foe and the avenger.” When children are giggling, crying, and laughing they are praising God. Dear beloved, teach your children how to sing and praise God and you will be doing yourself a good service because God will use them to rescue you from the hands of your enemies. Children are a blessing from God and we must cherish and appreciate them. Hallelujah! Share your thoughts here! Share, Comment and Let Us Know What You Think I Would like to share this with you.

Excessive Burdens

For we would not, brethren, have you ignorant of our trouble which came to us in Asia, that we were pressed out of measure, above strength, insomuch that we despaired even of life: 9 But we had the sentence of death in ourselves, that we should not trust in ourselves, but in God which raiseth the dead.
2 Corinthian 1:8-9(KJV)

A particular truth in this verse has  been overlooked by most people today. Paul wrote that while he was in Asia he had a burden that was "beyond [his] strength." Other translation read that Paul said his problem was "far beyond our ability to endure."; "beyond our power"; "above our power"; *it doesn't take a Greek Bible scholar to see what Scripture clearly says in this text. The words are plain. Paul's burden was more than he could bear.
Why would God allow such a thing to happen? The Bible give clear answer. Second Corinthians 1:9 says it is "in order that we would not trust in ourselves, but in God who raises the dead." Your Father wont' allow you to be tempted to Sin beyond what you can resist, but He will allow troubles to become so heavy that you learn  to trust Him and not yourself. Be assured that when you can't carry your burdens, He will.

Belong

In my Father's house are many mansions: if it were not so, I would have told you. I go to prepare a place for you.
John 14:2 (KJV)

Heaven is real so when He says there's a home in Heaven for those who follow Him. It's true.
Jesus talked with His disciples about His home in heaven, which He left to come and live among us. What a joy  it must have been for Him to tell His disciples, in  my Father's house are many mansions... I go I prepare a place for you... That where I Am, there you be also. It actually more real, because it will last forever, and the stuff you can touch now will eventually turn to dust. All the thing you love are in it, and some things are there that you will love and don't even know about yet. Ever heard of sky-blading? Never mind. You'll see. The best news His standing at the door waiting for you. When you're finally home with Me. It will be awesome FOREVER. I'm looking forward to  seeing   you face to face, but first, you've got a lot of living to do on earth

THE SECOND ROOM

Jesus said unto her, I am the resurrection, and the life: he that believeth in me, though he were dead, yet shall he live:
John 11:25 (KJV)

What if you got called out to one of your classes at school to receive a message that someone you love had died a parent, a grandparent, a sister, a brother, or good friend? You'd probably rather not to think about that.
But eventually you will have to deal with death, because it's a sure thing. See the His word say.. though he were dead, yet yet shall he live. Your petition is still there. But death is not the end for people who believe in Jesus it's only doorway between Earth and Heaven. On earth, there are many beautiful things, as well as trouble and pain. Life in Heaven is filled with eternal beauty. Joy and peace. You don't get to heaven by being good enough; you only get there by believing He is the door.

YOU HAVE Supernatural HELP

Psalms 103:19 (KJV) The LORD hath prepared his throne in the heavens; and his kingdom ruleth over all.
Psalm 103 :19 (KJV)

God's throne is established in heaven and His kingdom rules over all. The angels were created as ministering spirits to minister for those who are heirs of Salvation. (Hebrew. 1:14). One of the ways they minister to and for us is by taking heed our words when we are speaking God's Word of promises, then angels have an assignment to see to it that promise is eventually fulfilled in your life. They know Jesus said you can have what you say if you believe and doubt not. They are to do God's pleasure (v. 21), and God has pleasure in the prosperity of His servants. When we give voices to God's Word on daily basis, the angel and Holy Spirit work diligently in arranging our prosperity. They see it that we are led by our spirit to be in the right place at the right time so that we will have the promises of God that we are confessing to be manifest in our lives. Always remember that God has pleasure in the prosperity of His servant and Abraham's blessing are yours because of the abundance of grace manifest to us through Jesus Christ our Lord. (Rom. 10:17). As you make your confessions daily, you may feel as if they are not true, but faith comes by hearing the word of God, faith well come, and one day you will wake up and feel rich even though you may not have a dollar in your pocket. Your feeling will fall in line with the Word of God. God created the universe by the method which you have just put into motion: but the power of His Words. Man is created in the image of God and releases his faith in words. The Word of God, conceived in the human spirit, formed by the tongue, and spoken out of the mouth, is created power that will work for you.

Our Father World

O sing unto the LORD a new song: sing unto the LORD, all the earth.
Psalms 96:1(KJV)

Say new prayers. Sing new song. It's great to have prayers and songs.
First the earth  belongs to God (Ps. 24:1-2). The psalmist Praised the Lord for His creation and His ownership of it. The heaven's, the earth, and all that are in it  are His. He created it, He sovereign over it. (Ps. 93:1-2), and He care for it (Matt:6:26-30).
Second, God delegated the responsibility for the well-being of this earth to us (Gen. 1:26-28). But every now and then, get off by yourself and sing Me a new song. It doesn't matter how it sounds. Just sing what's on your heart. It will sound great to me, and you'll feel better, too be creative.

The earth is the Lord
The fulness is in this World
And those who dwelt therein, The
heaven are your this earth is also yours,
And this world and the fullness thereof

Oh Jesus full of grace
We are save by His grace
In Him
Jesus only your name
That we are save
You come for the lost
In your name that we are save

When the fulness of time has come
God send forth His Son
To save this world  who dwells therein
HE was born of a woman born under the law
To redeem and called us to be His Son

Today!

Let us therefore come boldly unto the throne of grace, that we may obtain mercy, and find grace to help in time of need.
Hebrew 4:16

This wonderful Savoir does not condemn you. He loves you for He has died for you.
Only Christ can say, "I know what man is like, and I can tell you what God is like. I understand them both from inside out." when we are being tempted, Jesus can speak to the Father and say, "I went through the same thing."
HE was sinless, and yet He became our sin bearer. Instead of symbolically cleansing us from defilement, the Lord cleansed us from actual sin. It was through the blood of the cross that the Lord Jesus removed the obstacle which had caused an estrangement between God and man  and restored our fellowship with the Father.
For we do have a High Priest who cannot sympathize with our weaknesses, but was in all points tempted as we are, yet without sin (Hebrew. 4:15).
Though Christ is "holy, harmless, undefile, separated from sinners, and has become higher than the heaven (Hebrew. 7:56),He is nevertheless "touched with the feeling of our infirmities" (Hebrew. 4:15 KJV),
Therefore, as the writer of Hebrews says, let us come boldly" today to His throne of grace, that we may obtain mercy
For there is God and one Mediator between God and men, the Man Christ Jesus, who gave Himself a ransom for all (1 Tim. 2:5-6).
And because of this ransom, God declares that we are free from the pit of sin and death.
If there is a messenger for him, A mediator, one among a thousand, to show man his uprightness, then He is gracious to him, and says, "Deliver him from going down to the pit; I have found a ransom" (Job 33:23-24).
So come to Jesus Christ our mediator today! Jesus said, "I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father except through Me" (John 14:16).

Whose Voice Are You Listening To?

Whose Voice Are You Listening To? There be many that say, Who will shew us any good? Lord, lift thou up the light of thy countenance upon us. Thou hast put gladness in my heart, more than in the time that their corn and their wine increased. Psalms 4:6-7 (KJV) There are many voices in this world: the voice of God, the voice of man, the voice of the devil and demons, and the voice of the flesh. The New International Version quotes the opening Scripture as, “Many, Lord, are asking, “Who will bring us prosperity?” Let the light of your face shine on us. Fill my heart with joy when their grain and new wine abound.” Dear beloved, whose voice are you listening to? The voice of man, devils and demons, and the voice of the flesh cannot help you to succeed in your endeavour. The sure voice that can lead and direct you to a fulfilling life is the voice of God. This voice is in the Holy Scriptures. Meditate on the Holy Scriptures, use them in prayer, exercise them, and God will shine on you and fill your heart with joy. Hallelujah! Share your thoughts here!

MATTER OF CHOICE

We then, as workers together with him, beseech you also that ye receive not the grace of God in vain.
2 Corinthians 6:1

A man once asked, If God does everything, how is choice involved?" it was a valid question. "Before you were saved, did you seek the Lord or
did He seek you?" now I asked
"He sought me," he replied.
"Did you produce faith to believe? Or did He give it to you? "
" He give it to me."
"Well, if God did all of those things then, who is keeping you now? Are you keeping yourself? And who will take you into heaven? Can you do it yourself? Finally, "You have nothing to do it."
"All is good, but where is your choice? "
All you need to say is yes to, Jesus, and these things will be your. Your choice is just to accept what He has done for you." A big smile broke across his face. "I see it!
Jesus told His disciple, " You did not chose Me, but I chose you and appointed you" (John15:16).But Scripture warns us that God's grace must never be misused. Read the above verse (2cor.6:1).
Salvation is ours because of what the Lord has done, not because of our perfection. What produces failures? It is when you stop trusting God and rely on your ourselves.
When I say to the righteous that he shall surely live, but he trust in his own righteousness and commits iniquity, none of his righteous works shall be remembered; but because of the iniquity that he has committed, he shall die (Ezekiel. 33:13).
I believe that we are secure in our salvation, but we can risk losing what He has given us. For Peter said:
For if, after they have escaped the pollutions of the world through the knowledge of the Lord and Savior Jesus Christ, they are again entangled in them and overcome, the latter end is worse for them in the beginning. For it would  have better for them not to have known the way of righteousness, than having known it, to turn from the Holy commandment delivered to them (2Pet.2:20-21).
God chooses us but always gives us the choice to respond. What should be be you action to the Lord in return for His eternal benefit? The psalmist said: "I will take up the cup of salvation, and call upon the name of the Lord" (Ps.116:13).
Gracious is the Lord, and righteous;
Yes, our God is merciful.
The Lord preserves the simple;
I was brought low, and He save me
Return to your rest, O my soul,
For the Lord has dealt bountiful lyrics with you (Ps. 116:5-7).

Are You Mocker or knocker

For if they do these things in a green tree, what shall be done in the dry? And when they were come to the place, which is called Calvary, there they crucified him, and the malefactors, one on the right hand, and the other on the left.
Luke 23:31-33

Among other interpretation of this suggestive question, the following is full of teaching. "If the innocent substitute for sinners, suffer himself thus, what will be done when the sinner himself-- the dry tree shall fall into the hands of an angry God? When God saw Jesus in the sinner's place, he did not spare him; and when he finds the unregenerate without Christ, he will not spare them. O sinner, Jesus was led away by his enemies: so shall you be dragged away by friends to place appointed for you. Jesus was deserted of God; and if he, who was only imputedly a sinner, was deserted, how much more shall you be? "Eloi, Eloi, lama sabachthani?" what an awful shriek! But what be your cry when you shall say, "O God! O God! Why thou forsaken me?" and the answer shall come back, "Because ye have set at nought all my counsel, and would none of my reproof: I also will laughter at your calamity; I will mock when your fear cometh." If God spare not his own Son, how much less will be yours when conscience shall smite you with all its terrors. Ye richest, ye merriest, ye most self-righteous sinner's who would stand in your place when God shall say, Awake, O sword, against the man that rejected me; smite him, and let him feel the smart forever?" Jesus was spit upon: sinner, what shame will be yours! We cannot sum up in one word all the mass of sorrows which let upon the head of Jesus who died for us; therefore it is impossible for us to tell you what streams, what oceans of grief must roll over your spirit if you die as you now are. You may die so, you may die now. By the agonies of Christ, by his wounds and by his blood, do not bring upon yourselves the wrath to come! Trust in the Son of God and you shall never die. He will save when you call His name, there the last knocker call.

THE SECRET

If ye abide in me, and my words abide in you, ye shall ask what ye will, and it shall be done unto you.
John 15:7 (KJV)

A young man ask what's the secret? What can I do to pray with more power?" "Jesus gave us the answer when He said, 'If you abide in Me, and My words abide in you, you will ask what you desire, and it shall be done for you (John 15:7).
"Notice what the Lord said---If ye abide in Me.' It's our choice then to abide. The verse goes on to say, 'And My Words abide in you, you will ask...' You will ask because you have decided to abide in Him and you have chosen His Word to abide in you. That's the secret of power in prayer."
In the Book of Joshua 1: 8
HE give you a life style in prayer.
Prayer can do anything God can do; for the arm of God responds to the touch of prayer. All the infinite resources of God are at the command of prayer.
There is only one limit to what prayer can do; that is what God can do. But all things are possible to God; therefore prayer is omnipotent. We are surrounded by the hero faith and they know it! "Only God can move mountains, but faith and prayer move God. I believe prayer is faith passing into action. When we pray, all that God is and has become ours. All you need to do is ask. As the Bible say, "Ye have not, because ye not ask," (James 4:2 KJV). I've heard it said, she preached it! "The strongest one in Christ's Kingdom is he who is the best knocker." So start knocking and you will find it. (Luke11:9-10).
God hears answers prayers because the blood of Jesus has cleaned us of our sins and provided access to the throne of God.

Prayer is a wonderful gift from God
Prayer is talking to God
Let us hold fast what is good
The world will take it away
Never take the good in your life for granted
Prayer is talking to God
Let us hold fast what is good
The world cann't take it away
Do not quench the Holy Spirit
Do not despise the prophecy
Test all thing and hold fast
what is good
And abstain from every form of evil

THE MOLDING OF GOD

For whom he did foreknow, he also did predestinate to be conformed to the image of his Son, that he might be the firstborn among many brethren.
ROMAN 8:29 (KJV)

Only melted gold is minted; only softened wax receives the seal; only broken and contrite hearts receives the mark as the Potter turns us on His wheel.
To be molded by the hand of God must become our everything, our all-consuming desire. When it is, every trial is a blessing, because in everything we see the opportunity to trust Him to purify us further. As we are able to discern the truth and live as melted gold, as moistened clay, as softened wax, with broken contrite hearts, we are pliable in the potter's hands, as He conforms us to His image.
Unfortunately, too many do not realize these principles. They have heard a message of "come to Jesus and everything will workout; everything will be all right." Many are not told that God loves you, them too much to leave them as they are, that the great privilege He has for them is that they are to be changed into "the image of His Son" (Roman 8:29).
To be transformed so that Christ is revealed to others through us is a blessing beyond measure known to man! However, too often it is lost in the Superficial preaching meant to please "itching ear" (2Timothy4:3).
Christ is returning for His Bride, a glorious church, not having spot or wrinkle or anysjch thing, but that she should be holy and without blemish" (Ephesians 5:27). So we know that there must be tremendous preparation of His bride, the church, before His return. The message and reality of the "refiner's fire" (Malachi 3:2), the potter's wheel," the preciousness of trial, is such a major part of that preparation. God you into "image of His Son."
Beloved, Rejoice! Rejoice! in the hand of Potter until you are completely molded and possessed by His Spirit

Let us therefore come boldly unto the throne of grace, that we may obtain mercy, and find grace to help in time of need.
Hebrews 4:16 (KJV)

Be careful to never confuse humility with religious inferiority complex. Humilty exist when we see ourselves as our Father see us no more and no less. A religious inferiority complex causes us to look down on ourselve and believe that we aren't worthy to approach our Father with boldness.
This verse from Hebrews directs us to draw near to the throne of grace with confidence. You don't have to be timid when you pray. You are worthy because Jesus Christ has made you worthy. You are a child of God. He delight in you when you approach Him in complete transparency and totally without inhibition
You God is your Abba your Daddy. Approach Him with the eager expectation of childlike faith. knowing that you will most certainly receive His mercy and find grace to help in every need you have.
