MADE


 

MADE

 

 

You can't grow in Righteousness. 

 

You have been MADE the righteousness of God in Christ Jesus (2Cor5:21)

 

 

You can't grow in sonship. 

 

You have been MADE a son of God. (Gal4:5-7)

 

 

You can't grow in freedom. 

 

“If the Son MAKES you free, you are free indeed.” (Jn8:36)

 

 

NOW…

 

 

As you get the revelation of Jesus Christ,

YOU GROW in your understanding of what God did through Him…

…that you have ALREADY been MADE nigh by the blood of Jesus. (Eph2:13)… 

…comprehending more and more how He sees you as a free, righteous, holy, loved, close, accepted, and approved son of the Living God…

…a whole newly MADE creature that never existed before (2Cor5:17)…

…translated OUT of the kingdom of darkness INTO a whole different kingdom where power and liberty is a way of life. (Col1:13). 

 

 

YOU GROW in the wisdom and knowledge OF HIM…

So that the eyes of your understanding are enlightened…

THAT YOU MAY KNOW

·       what is the hope of His calling (what was HIS HOPE when He summoned or invited you)… 

·       and what hope we now have BECAUSE HE CALLED AND CHOSE US. (Jn15:16,19)

·       what are the riches of the glory of His inheritance in the saints,  and 

·       what is the exceeding greatness of His power toward us who believe, according to the working of His mighty power which He worked in Christ when He raised Him from the dead 

·       Where He seated Him at His right hand in the heavenly places, far above all principality and

·        power and might and dominion, and every name that is named, not only in this age but also in that which is to come. (Eph1:17-23)

 

 

He has MADE you in Christ Jesus now sit at the right hand of the Father in heavenly places (Eph2:6)… 

 

 

“In Him YOU have been MADE complete [filled to capacity, achieving spiritual stature through Christ]” (Col2:10)

 

 

Ph3:12

Not that I have yet actively laid hold of this to take or receive…

or have already brought it to a completed end or finished the race… 

but I press on to lay hold of (grasp) and make my own, 

that for which Christ Jesus,

The Messiah,

has laid hold of me and…

 

 

MADE ME HIS OWN.

THE FOOD PRAYER

Image
  THE FOOD PRAYER   Paul, on the topic of abstaining from certain foods, explicitly tells Timothy, “…For EVERYTHING God has created is GOOD , and nothing is to be rejected if it is received with GRATITUDE ; for it is SANCTIFIED [set apart, dedicated to God] by means of the WORD OF GOD and PRAYER .” (1Ti4:4-5AMP)     Most of us have been taught from a young age to pray for our food. We don't necessarily know “WHY”… BUT WE DO IT… …even into our old age, knowing it is something “proper” to be done, becoming just another thoughtless, religious mantra chanted as a precursor to satiating our appetite.   We have even invented clever, rhyming “prayers” easily remembered and quoted by children. The one my dad taught me:                    “Down with your head… up with your paws… thank the good Lord for the use of your jaws”     Now… was I receiving that bologna sandwich with gratitude?    ...

THE DAILY LOAD

  THE DAILY LOAD   “Blessed be the Lord Who daily loads us with benefits, The God of our salvation! Selah” (Ps68:19)   The word, “selah” is used throughout the Psalms and other Hebrew music and poetry as a notation similar to “a rest” in our modern music. However, it indicates a broader word picture of… “to pause and consider or reflect in order to lift up and exalt the topic just sung or played.”   So… that is exactly what I did after reading this verse… I SELAH’D… meditating on each word and phrase to get the thought, intent, purpose, and motive infused into what was said: ·        Blessed – to offer gratitude with a physical expression of submission, humility, and reverence in relationship during prayer and worship. ·        Lord - Adonay – the ONLY ONE with sovereign power, majesty, and undisputed right of decision ·        Daily – day to day to day… ad infinitum [Lam3:22...

The Perfect Will of God

  The Perfect Will of God   Rom12:2  “…Do not be CONFORMED to this WORLD , but be TRANSFORMED by the RENEWING of your MIND , that you may PROVE WHAT IS that GOOD and ACCEPTABLE and PERFECT WILL OF GOD .”   I was always taught that there were three different WILLS of God… And you are placed in one WILL or another determined by your maturity level, your faith, and your closeness to God.   However… let's dissect this verse to clearly see the intent behind each part.   ·        CONFORMED – properly means: assuming a similar  outward  form (expression) by following the same  pattern  (model, mold). ·        WORLD - properly, an  age  ( era , "time-span"),  characterized by a specific quality  (type) of existence ·        TRANSFORMED - metamorphóō - changing form or shape in keeping with a transformed inner reality...
