“Work out your own salvation with fear and trembling, for it is God who works in you, both to will and to work for his good pleasure. Do all things without grumbling or disputing, that you may be blameless and innocent, children of God without blemish in the midst of a crooked and twisted generation, among whom you shine as lights in the world, holding fast to the word of life…” Phil 2:12-16
Understand what your salvation means. You cannot save yourself. You must be saved by God. Wisdom from Watchman Nee.
The problem is that we avoid. We avoid problems in our lives by pretending they are not there. We sweep things under the rug. We ignore obvious signs of danger and difficulty. Many disregard problems due to a fear of confrontation. We allow things to poison our minds, marriages, and effectiveness in life. Learn to deal with things…Learn to confront yourself, your problems, and your future. If you avoid…we promise…it will get more difficult to deal with in the future. Do not avoid difficulty. Confront it. Do it now. Do something.
[App Post Submission From a Remnant Man] /// “Simon, watching Jesus being beaten, denied him 3 times. He was accused of being one of his followers. In fear of receiving the same treatment, he denied the very man who was soon going to die for him. In Acts chapter 5, during the rise of the early church, the disciples were arrested after defying the order to stop preaching the name of Jesus. Here we find Peter accused once again, yet this time he stands firm, proclaiming, “We must obey God rather than men.” (Acts 5:29) Peter and the apostles are released, but not before being beaten by their accusers. And in verse 41, it says, “Then they left the presence of the council, rejoicing that they were counted worthy to suffer dishonor for the name.” The same treatment that previously drove Peter to denial now drove him to rejoice. Men CAN change and leave weakness behind for the strength of the Holy Spirit. Your story isn’t written in vain. God will bring you full circle.”
Truth from last night: Having leadership in your life is like driving somewhere new with someone who’s been where you’re going. #COACHED
