"You cannot give God a definite maybe. It has to be a definite "yes" or a definite "no." The issue is you responding to Christ, not Christ responding to you."
~ Billy Graham ~
Word Power – Our communication influences others. How does your speech, your Sign language, your Facebook, Twitter, or Videophone reflect the power of Jesus Christ – The WORD – in your life?
Words for Life – “Jesus told him, “I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one can come to the Father except through me.” (John 14:6 NLT) The Cross is our connection to God and Eternal Life. Are you connected to the source of power to be a light to the world? Do you need an extension cord? It does not matter what road you are on in your life. All roads lead to the Cross.
Words for Unity – Is your communication Christ-like? Jesus set aside the crown and glory of heaven to become one of us. God came to experience what we experience. God came to walk among us. Unity means together, one, finished, and complete. Jesus on the Cross made us one, together, finished and complete in God. Jesus said, “It’s done.” “It’s finished.” It’s signed, sealed, and delivered.” What more do we want? He rose from the grave to overcome sin and death and lives that we too can have eternal life.
Action Words – “The issue is you responding to Jesus Christ, not Christ responding to you.” (Billy Graham) So what are you going to do now? We have work to do. So if you tell Him, "I can't do that, Lord—what if I fail?" you're really saying, "God you are not able. If you are not able I am not willing.” The truth is about us responding to Christ not Christ responding to us. Or we can say the same as the prophet Isaiah, “Here am I send me.” It’s a “yes” or “no” question. It is not a “maybe I will” or “maybe I won’t” question. God wants us to obey His leading and then let Him work out the details. To say, “Okay God….you work out the details AND THEN I will obey” is backwards.
You might feel that you do not have enough faith to obey,
But the Lord isn't asking you to have faith good circumstances.
He's asking you to have faith in ALL circumstances and trust that He is who He says He is.
Do you believe that God is Faithful? Know that God is faithful to HIS WORD – Jesus Christ. He is faithful to HIS PROMISE – Eternal Life, deliverance from sin, past present and future. He is faithful to you and me – He will NEVER leave us alone or forget us.
God is in control. Live like we have the Power of God’s Word in us. Share the Words for Life for all those who are lost. Seek Words of Unity that show our unity with God and with each other. Get into ACTION.
Then we can stand before the world and say, “For I can do everything through Christ, who gives me strength.” (Philippians 4:13 NLT)
