Flawed Thinking Again




Many times as believers we pray that we become all that God wants us to become. However, we are much like the guy in this movie, we do not really believe in it happening. We do not really believe that he will do it. But the great news is that We have a God who IS and WILL and is WILLING to help us become all that he wants us to become. All we have to do is allow him to do his work.

How does God help us to become all that he has for us to be..? He reveals our sins to us. He makes it Uncomfortable for us to sin... His spirit guides out heart to Holiness. God died on the cross for our sins but many times we fail to realize what this really means. We do not think that we are good enough for God to save us, we buy into the lie of the world, the lie of satan. God died on the cross for all of sin, for all on mankind. Hebrews 2:9 "But we see Jesus, who was made a little lower than the angels, for the suffering of death crowned with glory and honor, that He, by the grace of God, might taste death for everyone."Key phrase MIGHT TASTE DEATH FOR EVERYONE. He died for ALL... Not for the GOOD. My Bible says in Romans 3:10 "There is none righteous, no, not one." There is not a good person in the world. No one is righteous, not even one. Nobody is good enough to be saved by God, but our GOD is GOOD ENOUGH TO SAVE US. He loves us John 3:16 "For God so LOVED the WORLD that He GAVE his only begotten Son, that whoever BELIEVES in Him shall not perish, but have Everlasting Life."God gave Jesus up for ALL not the GOOD.

Many of us were, are, or will be caught up in the lie that we are not good enough. We try to Mask our sins so that no one else will know them, and it tears us up inside. The world sees us as being this Holy person, but deep down inside we know that we are nothing more than a hypocrite. We are afraid to allow God to come into our hearts, into our lives and chisel away the sins that are holding us back because we are afraid of what he will find. When in all reality he can already see those sins, he already know them. We know that we have let God down, we just do not want him to know, but he already does. He loves us despite letting him down, he wants to pick us up. But we continue to do the same things over and over expecting different results. Insanity.... Trying to do life on our own is insanity... We feel that we are letting God down when we never ever were the ones that were holding him up... HE is the One who HOLDS US UP. And he NEVER LETS US DOWN.

I believe that the words of the Old Hymn had it right when it says
"My hope is built on nothing less that Jesus Blood and righteousness
 On Christ the Solid Rock I stand, All other Ground is sinking Sand."

When our hope is in Christ and Christ alone we are standing on the solid Rock, the rock than cannot be moved, changed, of shaken. He will hold us up because he is solid, because he loves us. BECAUSE GOD IS. All we have to do is trust GOD, obey his spirit, and put or complete FAITH in him.

Deuteronomy 32:4 "He is the Rock, His work is perfect; For all His ways are justice, A God of truth and without injustice; Righteous and Upright is He.

1 John 4:8"..... God is Love" 1 Corinthians 13:8 "Love never fails..."

1 John 1:9 "If we confess our sins, He is faithful and just to forgive us our sins and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness."

You are his Love. Walk in it, Talk in it, Believe in it, and Live in it. You are special to Him.

Psalms 56:13 "For You have delivered my soul from death. Have You not kept my feet from falling, That I may walk before God In the light of the living?"

How He Loves Us

You Love Me Anyway
