Liberty

"True Christian liberty is not the right to live as we please,
but the power to live as God requires."

Seen on another blog today, I hope this Godly lady doesn't mind the repeat of this awesome quote. But it struck hard as daily battles are fought....we have been given awesome power, His power to live, live life abundantly but with that power comes great responsibility to live as God has required of us and not feed our flesh.

May we seek his face, His touch, His love, abundant mercy, and blessings seen...moreover the ones unseen...daily.

Now the Lord is that Spirit: and where the Spirit of the Lord [is],
there [is] liberty

Liberty...freedom...true freedom in Christ...not flesh...spirit...liberty

Liberty...the power to live as God requires.....

Another day...another moment...another study...what does God require?

Praise Him for liberty...this captive has been set free!

"Stand fast therefore in the liberty wherewith Christ hath made us free, and be not entangled again with the yoke of bondage."

Captivate...

Oh Lord to be captivated...

your grace...your mercy...your love...your strength...your wisdom...your power...
your Holy presence...

Captivated by you...

Captivate us...Oh Lord...captivate us...




to love, to show mercy, to give grace, to obedient love, to need and empower strength, to gain wisdom, to never fear for we have your power...

to be captivated...by you and your presence alone...

captivate oh Lord, captivate us

Pondering Quotes...

"We who preach and write, do so in a manner different from which the scriptures have been written. We write while we make progress. We speak as we still knock for understanding. If anyone criticizes me when I have said what is right, he does me an injustice. But I would be more angry with the one who praises me and takes what I have written for Gospel truth then I would be with one who criticizes me unfairly."

Augustine

To preach, to write, to understand...or aim to understand as we record life long journeys of the paths chosen...to not trust nor believe the Gospel truth is not an injustice to me, but to the very Deity who breathed the very inspiration to write His words.

Holy Spirit come upon those of hardened hearts...soften them and draw unto you, the Mighty One, the Holy One, the I am. Gospel Truth...We love because you first loved us....Do we choose to believe or not to believe? Do we criticize those who spread the message or the very One who sends the message? To criticize...oh just an opinion, maybe even a Holy Spirit conviction and prompting we so easily blame on the physical...oh so easy to criticize unfairly the one(s) seen...instead of acknowledging the very One who is unseen.

Praise the One, the Holy One! For He is Lord and King.

To criticize...100 percent fleshly pride and hardened heart

Gospel Truth...100 percent Truth

What will the choice be...for it is a choice...

Preach, Write, aim to understand...

Isaiah 61:1 Mark 16:15
