It's all a gift. Nothing earned.
It's all a gift. Nothing earned.
I'm sure you have been given a gift card before.
Think about how gift cards work on Earth. Someone who cares about you goes to a store, purchases credit, and puts it on the card. Then, they give you the card as a gift. You then take that card when you are ready to redeem it to the store and cash it in for merchandise from that store. You walk out with a free gift you did not purchase yourself and in fact, did not even earn yourself. Someone else paid for it, but you get the gift.
Is the Kingdom any different? When Jesus died on the cross, the scriptures say this:
He redeemed us in order that the blessing given to Abraham might come to the Gentiles through Christ Jesus so that by faith we might receive the promise of the Spirit. Galatians 3:14
What if the good news of the gospel was explained like this: Jesus has purchased a Kingdom Gift Card for everybody on the planet? All you have to do is acknowledge it, receive it, and redeem it. It’s the best gift card EVER! It never expires. It has an unlimited balance. It is good for every gift from above. It can be redeemed over and over.
Peace, Healing, Freedom
Love, Joy, and more
Peace or shalom refers to soundness, completeness, harmony and the absence of strife.
Peace I leave you, Shalom I give you says the Lord Jesus Christ. There is no need to ask for it. He already gave it to us. Simply call Shalom up inside you and focus on Him, the Lord of Peace. Choose Him. Let the overwhelming presence push out all anxiety, strife, and depression.
"Christ never refused those who sought His healing. Repeatedly, the gospels tell us that He healed them all. Christ the healer has never changed. "
T.L. Osborn
I am a living testimony that Jesus still heals. He healed me in my home while I was seeking Him through worship. He prepared a table in the presence of my enemy at the very place I was attacked, and we worshiped to Sound Mind, by Melissa Helser. All my pain left. My attack ended as I shot an RPG at the enemy.
It is for freedom that Christ set us free. No more walls, no more prisons. To live in true freedom, we must be healed of all our inner wounds, and trauma's. Forgive all who have offended or hurt us. Let there be no place for bitterness or anger to hide. If you find any, put your hand on your heart, grab it all and pull it from yourself. Speak the words out loud: "You don't deserve it, but I choose to forgive you just as Jesus Christ has forgiven me. Now I release you to God." Open your hand and blow it away. Enjoy your Freedom!
You are His beloved because He loves you, not because you love God. You can't do anything to make God love you more. You can't do anything to make Him love you less. He does not have any conditions in order for Him to love you. Let this sink in and be loved by God. He is not angry or disappointed. He knew you before you were even born and knows all your frailties. You don't have to perform to be loved. Just receive it and trust Him. When you practice being loved, everything changes in your life.
"May the God of Hope fill you with all joy and peace in believing,
so that by the power of the Holy Spirit you may abound in hope." Romans 15:13
Joy is the consequence of realizing your Healer, Jesus, lives in us who believe, and Jesus said He and the Father live in us. Therefore, we are filled with His joy because He is joy. We just need to to access it through the Holy Spirit. The first step is to realize
His presence is ever present, and He will never leave us. This should stir up joy in us.
Your Kingdom come, Your will be done!
