Responding To The Call

"But love your enemies, and do good, and lend, expecting nothing in return; and your reward will be great, and you will be sons of the Most High; for He Himself is kind to ungrateful and evil men.  Be merciful, just as your Father is merciful." Luke 6:35‭-‬36 NASB Father! Help me to surrender and submit to your call on a daily basis.  May your words be reflected in my attitude. May my heart reflect my obedience to your will when the "heat" is turned up. Help me to remember my responsibility to my enemies when my rage is stirred up within me like the sediment at the bottom of a clear river. Do not allow my flesh to contaminate the purity of living water you have poured into me. May your life infiltrate every cell that my body contains so when my enemies attack me like a thief in ambush, your living water will pour out of me drowning my enemy with the LOVE you have bestowed upon me. I want to be a mirror reflecting you to all who see me. -Clint

Galations 12:20 (NASB) Reference (https://www.openbible.info/topics/our_identity_in_christ) VALUE: How do you place your value? In Jesus’ hierarchy of value, people held a higher place than the rest of the creation. Consider the full text of the first part of the passage from the Sermon on the Mount, partially quoted ...

History Repeating The LORD lead me to this scripture  in my time with Him this morning. Interesting how the same events are occurring today. There is a reason why. Do you know? Please share your answer in the comments. Is CHRISTAIN just a title you poses or a lifestyle? What defines being a Christian? Hint: It's not considering yourself or being considered a "good" person. What is your IDENTITY in the Kingdom of God? Who do you identify with, this world or God the Father? What is your VALUE to God the Father? Why does God desire to give you PURPOSE? What responsibility do you have toward your fellow man? What is the Great Commission? What are the two Great Commandments? Jesus Christ of Nazareth was the first  "First Responder". He came to rescue man from the perils of a fallen world, a life captive by Satan's destructive ways. Christ did not horde His knowledge or practice to Himself. He came to teach us. How? By giving you and me His identity, v...
