Be Encouraged. Stay Encouraged. Encourage Others. "Stand in the truth of who you are in Me,
Jude 1:24-25
"Stand in the truth of who you are in Me, says the Lord."
What is truth you ask?
My Word is the truth; yesterday, today and forever more. When you became Born Again, you sin was remitted; not just forgiven, said the Lord. There is not hard copy, back up copy or negatives of your wrong doings.
That fact that God has shown His mercy and grace and forgiven us for our sin does not permit us to sin. The Bible declares, we will sin but we shall not indulge in sin; to
live a way you want live, because the Scripture clearly states "Where sin abound, grace much more abound (Romans)." The truth is, we have been made Holy. We have been made righteous. We have been justified by faith, and also glorified. Our sins and lawless deeds …….God doesn't remember. So why are you continually talking to Him about your wrong doing? He tells us through his words, I remember no more for my own name. Please give Jesus praise for thinking about you today. After all; you are HIS, Beloved! God is doing a great work in you. Do you believe that and receive?
REFLECTION:
The time has come where; God is calling us to stand in HIS truth. HE has purposed us for such a time like this. We must trust the process. Let us not become distracted, discouraged, or disappointed, but stand in expectation of HIS goodness here on earth.
It’s time to reset the button and began to see beyond our natural man and walk in faith and expect the impossible. Be sensitive to the Holy Spirit and His directions. Trust God even through conditions that seem bleak and hostile; knowing that the plans HE has for us is to prosper and not harm.
