Romans 5:5
“The love of God has been poured out within our hearts through the Holy Spirit who was given to us.”
The first step I must take to victory in the holy war is to give up all of my natural being and way of life. The spiritual way is the way I want to be moved in daily with. It is a way were there is no cuts and bruises, never grieving, always loving, way of life. But I am not able to express this kind of spirit with my own love, but with the love that Jesus Christ gives me through my devotion and walk with Him. I can only express it when Jesus expresses it through me. His grace is so much more intense than anything of this world and the pain and hurt Christ felt on Calvary is so much more than anything any human will ever feel. In His death is our life, and in His life is our victory. I love that saying, its so true, so hard to fully grasp but God just wants us to believe and from there He will reveal the things in which we need in the most perfect time. My greatest problem as a servant of Jesus Christ is to keep the “me” from getting in His way. It says right here in Romans 5:5 “the love of God HAS BEEN POURED OUT WITHIN OUR HEARTS…” the deed has been done. Thank you, Jesus. It has been freely given, I do not have to be hindered by the thoughts of winning or pleasing Him, because He has already won and has freely given His life for ransom so that I may be able to live freely. The overwhelming amount of love that is shown through His death cannot compare to anything I have ever encountered nor ever will. Being content in the things He has put before me and laid aside and behind me is what I need to learn how to be okay with. God honors those who put their full trust and love in the Him.

IBS- PHILIPPIANS 3:8 “Yet indeed I also count all thigs loss for the excellence of the knowledge of Christ Jesus my Lord, for whom I have suffered the loss of all things, and count them as rubbish, that I may gain Christ.” I am reminded of the Philippians 1:21 “For to me, to live is Christ, and to die is gain.” To hold onto the things of this world only hinders you. Your relationship with Christ Jesus, your walk, your mornings, and your everyday life. To gain the whole world but lose your soul is gaining nothing. To fight for anything of this world is going to get me nowhere if not led by the Lord. I have held on to so many things of this world, it has bonded me and there is a weight on my shoulders because of it. When I try to gain the whole world- I lose myself. I feel caught in a net with no way out. I can see the good in God, but I am to twisted and wrapped up in the ways of me that I can not figure out the way out. In Christ I have no bondage I have no net. To gain knowledge

IBS- MARK 10:46-52 “ Now they came to Jericho. As He went out of Jericho with His disciples and a great multitude, blind Bartimaeus, the son of Timaeus, sat by the road begging. And when he heard that it was Jesus of Nazareth, he began to cry out and say “Jesus, Son of David, have mercy on me!” then many warned him to be quite; but he cried out all the more, “Son of David, have mercy on me!” so Jesus stood still and commanded him to be called. Then they called the blind man, saying to him “Be of good cheer. Rise, He is calling you.” And throwing aside his garments, he rose and came to Jesus. So, Jesus answered and said to him “What do you want Me to do for you?” the blind man said to Him, Rabboni, that I may receive my sight.” Then Jesus said to him, “Go your way; your faith has made you well.” And immediately he received his sight and followed Jesus on the road.”   I relate to Bart in the sense of begging for Jesus to come back into my life and forgiving me once again for my sin

Colossians 3:23 “And whatever you do, do good work hardily as for the Lord and not to men.” Christians often talk about working for God, going on a mission’s trip for God, doing the ministry for God. Its good to talk that way. It’s biblical. We are promised that through Christ we will “bear fruit for God” and we are called to “work heartily as for the Lord, and not for men.” So, we should do things for God. But what does that mean? Sometimes when we talk about doing something for someone, we mean that we are going to meet their needs. So, if we talked about doing something for the poor, we mean we are going to meet the needs of the poor. But is that what we mean when we talk about doing things for God? When the Bible calls us to do things for God, is it calling us to meet God’s needs? That’s impossible, because God has no needs. Acts 17:24-25, “The God who made the world and everything in it, being Lord of heaven and earth, does not live in temples made by man, nor is he served b
