To Achieve, You Must Receive

Don’t you want to achieve everything that God placed you on this earth journey to achieve?

Our walk with the Lord is not about striving to gain his good graces. His grace is always there for you. It is not about doing, it is about receiving what he has for you. You can’t earn your way in this life. DIY religion doesn’t work. If we want to achieve greatness in the kingdom, we must believe and receive and that comes with time spent in his presence.

Abiding in the vine allows you to hear the voice of the Lord. We must receive what God has done for us in order to achieve a greater understanding of who we are in Christ and who he is in us. Our walk with the Lord is not about us doing but about us receiving or believing.

We are the branches; he is the vine. You need both to bear fruit. Branches can’t bear fruit without the vine. We can’t do anything without the vine supplying life which keeps the branches alive and then bears much fruit.

Even in his most human moment, Jesus said not my will, but your will is all that matters.
Does that mean that all these thousands of prayers we have prayed that isn’t his will falls on deaf ears? Draw your own conclusions. Some preachers say if you have faith, it will be done. I prayed prayers with a lot of faith but not part of his will and he didn’t hear that prayer, or he just said no. Thank God he doesn’t answer all of our prayers. I prayed for God to take me one night when I was in a really bad place. In my early years as a Christian, my dad passed, and I went in with all the faith I could muster and laid my Bible on his chest and prayed for God to raise him up. He didn’t, because it wasn’t a part of his will.

Let’s find out who we are in Christ and who he is in us and then we will know his will.

You Too Can Walk on Water

Before you run down to your local river or lake, please listen to the whole message first. It might not be what you are thinking.

Today we are going to discuss how our faith can overcome fear, doubt and negative thoughts. Our thoughts control us whether they are full of faith or negative thoughts of gloom and doom. This is illustrated nicely when Jesus walked on water.

We all know the story, but let’s review. Jesus told the disciples to get into the boat and go to the other side while he got alone with the father to pray.
Midway through the journey, a storm whipped up on the lake, then Jesus appeared to them as a ghost walking on the water. which scared them. Jesus said don’t be afraid, I am here. Peter asked Jesus to invite him onto the water. Peter was doing fine until he saw the size of the waves and then he became fearful and began to sink. He asked Jesus to save him which he did and then Jesus asked him why he doubted due to his lack of faith.
However, it is not necessary to walk on natural water to follow Jesus. His walking on the water is a lesson in spiritual overcoming.
The water we walk on is all our stress, troubles and pain we experience. Jesus said, my yoke is easy, and my burden is light. If your burden doesn’t feel very light today, take out your walking shoes and put that burden under your feet. It’s time to get above all the stuff. The higher God takes you, the smaller the problems appear.
