THE LIVING GOD – RECONCILING

from Barbara's Bible

Have you ever done something #stupid?  Today wrong appears to be right and right seems wrong.  #Satan can be disguised as a helper all the while being a #robber in sheep clothing.  God is very aware of our shortcomings and has the power to overcome  the evil attacks that Satan slings at us.  Where do I go when being confounded by satanic words?  11Corth.6:7 “by knowledge, by long-suffering, by kindness, by the Holy Spirit, by love unfeigned by the word of truth, by the power of God. 10:4 (for the weapons of our warfare are not carnal,, but mighty through God to the pulling down of strong holds)  God is in control.  When I make wrong choices, I asked forgiveness and turn to the Lord.  11Corth.5:18,19 “All things are of GOD, WHO HAS RECONCILED US TO HIMSELF BY JESUS CHRIST, AND HAS GIVEN TO US THE MINISTRY OF RECONCILIATION; that is to say, GOD WAS IN CHRIST, RECONCILING THE WORLD UNTO HIMSELF, not reckoning or imputing their trespasses unto them; and has committed unto us the word of reconciliation.”  Where do you put your shame and quilt?  Are you stewing in remorse, distress, or uncertainty?  It pleases our Father and Lord when we come to Him.  Colossians 1:1921 “It pleased the Father that in Him should all fullness dwell having made peace through the blood of His cross, by Him to reconcile all things unto Himself; by Him – whether they be things in earth, or things in heaven..  You were sometimes alienated and enemies in your mind by wicked works, yet now has HE RECONCILED”  God is reconciling with open arms…”faint not at my tribulations for you, which is your glory.  Bow your knees unto the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ…that He would grant you..to be strengthened with might by His Spirit in the inner man that Christ may dwell in your hearts by faith so you may be rooted and grounded in love.” Eph.3:14-17

THE LIVING GOD #RECONCILING

from Barbara's Bible

Are individuals in #America ready to be #reconciled?  To reconcile is to be friendly again; to be brought back to harmony; to reunite; to conciliate!  #Propitiation and reconciliation have primary reference to the person offended as stated by Webster’s dictionary.  Do you recognize your hardened demeanor covered by stress?  Not only are these attributes defined by Webster, but the Holy Word of God is very articulate on HIS RECONCILING.  How do I know?  11Corthinthians 5:17-20 tells me, “If any man be in Christ, he is a new creature:  old things are passed away; all things are become new.  All things are of GOD, WHO HAS RECONCILED US TO HIMSELF BY JESUS CHRIST, and has given to us the ministry of reconciliation; that GOD WAS IN CHRIST RECONCILING THE WORLD UNTO HIMSELF, not charging their trespasses unto them; but has committed unto us the word of RECONCILIATION.  Now we are  ambassadors for Christ, as though God did beg you by us:  we pray that you on behalf of Christ will be RECONCILED TO GOD.”  May we be citizens walking together receiving God’s grace with patience, kindness, and love by the word of truth and God’s power !
