The Will of God: A Christian’s Prime Motivation
There are so many people doing and saying things in the name of Jesus Christ, but what was the Lord’s prime motivation? The will of God. John 4:34 – Jesus saith unto them, My meat is to do the will of him that sent me, and to finish his work. Matt 26:39 – He went a little farther and fell on His face, and prayed, saying, “O My Father, if it is possible, let this cup pass from Me; nevertheless, not as I will, but as You will.” Eph 5:17 – Therefore do not be unwise, but understand what the will of the Lord is. 18 And do not be…

God Wants Us To Know Immanuel Every Day
One of the names for Jesus Christ is Immanuel and it is most precious – the gift God gives to all who have eyes that can see, and ears that can hear, and a heart that can believe and obey. Matthew 1:23 – Behold, the virgin shall be with child, and bear a Son, and they shall call His name Immanuel,” which is translated, “God with us.” Today is Christmas, and it’s old news that it’s not really Jesus’ birthday, but God who sees the heart is more concerned with how people regard His Son, and whether they receive Him as their own Immanuel.

Walking According to the Spirit is not Optional
Anyone who is born again has been given a new faculty whereby he/she may know God, hear His voice from within, be led and empowered by Him, and it is essential this, your spirit, be catered to. This made-alive spirit, united as one with Jesus Christ’s Spirit, is who God addresses when He gives commands, instructions, comforts, and all communications from the Bible. God is dealing with us as new creatures, and to cultivate this reality from Day One of coming to Christ is God’s will, and there is no life outside of it. Eph 2:1-6 – And you He made alive, who were dead in trespasses and sins, 2…

Don’t Try To Be a Christian Without Christ!
When He was preparing to go to the cross, Jesus Christ told His disciples it was needful that He go away for He would send them His own Spirit to guide, teach, and empower them. John 16:7 – Nevertheless I tell you the truth. It is to your advantage that I go away; for if I do not go away, the Helper will not come to you; but if I depart, I will send Him to you. Here is the word from the Top, and knowing the fullness of the Holy Spirit (the “Helper”) as the Bible fully teaches we are to know is not optional! To some, this article’s…

God’s sense of urgency
The Bible says God sent Jesus Christ as the way to God and how many of God’s people have heard this but not let it sufficiently move them? In 2015 the Centers for Disease Control reported U.S. deaths at 2,712,630 million – 86,212 more than in 2014 – and this works out to an average 7,462 U.S. residents died per day, every day in 2015. How many of them died without Jesus? How many of them had heard the name “Jesus Christ” and had heard “Jesus saves,” but the words, though they passed through their minds, never sunk in with saving faith? And, among Christians, or those who say they…
