Our table or place is set when we leave this earthly world and bodies and take on our true form (spirit). God's grace is the ultimate love. It is God's unmerited favor, we need to do nothing to receive it!! We truly have spiritual and physical authority because God says so. We only have to believe it and then act upon it and it shall be! It should affect us greatly because we have the one who created it all telling us we have the power through him, given by him all we have to do is act on it! This pleases God greatly!!

God's love for us describes his motivation to do what he did for us: sending His only begotten son to take on the burden of all of our sins!! This also describes his character!! God IS love! The word "be" says it all! we are (to Be) in Him: this encompasses all in all----everything God created is our inheritance and we have authority over Amen!

To participate in wrong, or to follow Satan as you put it comes for me when I am down, or feeling depressed. Of course these feelings are straight from Satan. Even though these feelings are not sin so to speak they open the door for temptation to come into your life. We are responsible for our rebellion whether it is intentional or unintentional. For me personally, I have never (to my knowledge) intentionally sinned, so I dont know what that would be like. Usually if you are walking with God, and sin creeps into your life it is because you have let your guard down. We must always remained equipped to resist temptation and that is done by staying in the word and using the word of God against satan!

When one is dead nothing workds! No feeling no sense of belonging: stagnant. Those of my friends who do not have a personal relationship with God, I subtly invite them to get to know Christ as their personal friend, confidant, love of their life: a life line. I certainly do not want anyone even my enemies to be dead in Christ and be judged accordingly. I want them to be fulfilled in His joy! There is nothing out in the world that can compare to that!!!!!!

God's purpose for our lives is to be vessels of praise unto Him that we live our lives in a way that is pleasing to him I know for my self I want to make God proud of me I want him to see me and say job well done i am pleased I strive to be a woman after God's own heart just as david was in the bible. Matthew 4:13-16 so relates because it is saying the same thing We are to let our light shine before or in front of others so that they can see our goodnes our compassion our love toward them and our circumstance. This draws themm into wanting to know that goodness and this glorifys God

The significance is that God is creator of all things. Not just the beleiver is brought under his authority but those who do not believe will find out just how and who created this universe and all that are contained in it and will be judged accordingly. It is so incredible I can scarcely take it all in but the word states that Christ has all authority which has been given to him by his Father God and in the end days Christ will have dominion and authority to destroy all that has not fallen in line with the Father. After he has put every thing into order (God is a God of order) then God will take over the reigns and be our all in all!!!

I have been redeemed by Christ's willingness to put himself on the cross and die for all of my sins!!!! I was once a slave to bondage unable to set my own self free from my lying fornication and all else but God gave me a way out and his name is Wonderful Counselor Prince of Peace, Jesus Christ my saviour!!!! I would have been a total mess up unable to get my self right without Gods loving concern for my life and what it would be like without him in my life To be born and then die in utter hell is what my life would have been and would be without Christ redeeming grace in my life!!

It is beautiful because although we were created perfect our sins took us away from God and God being a just and compassionate God gave us his only beloved son to bring us back to him. We now have the same rights and inheritance as our brother Christ Jesus and I just find that amazing that someone could love me that much!!

Holy means cleansed of all unrighteousness things that make us unclean or keep us away from Gods grace Thank God that he loved us enough to want to bring us back unto himself by providing a way of escape through our Lord and savior Jesus! Without him we would totally be lost and unable to return to God because of our mistakes and wrongdoings But Through believing in Jesus we are given a second chance to walk in the way the God created us to be without blemish perfect in the eyes of our father God!!!! Thank you Lord

For me there is nothing scary about predestination I receive it and the plan that God has for my life. It is comforting for me to know that God thought enough about me to want only the good things in my life and when I am in tune with Him I receive only the very best that he has to offer in my life! Prsising God is what brings him satisfaction He is pleased to know that we acknowledge that he is leading us and we are grateful for it.

I believe to reconcile the two together. We dont know if he lost his freedom or gained it! We surely know he gained his freedom thru Christ Jesus! Although it is a possibility that Philemon may have very well have physically kept him as a slave we certainly know his spirit was free indeed! The necessity arises from both men, Onesimus and Paul relying on the everlasting love of Christ and knowing love conquers all!!

Maybe he needed encouragement, or a fire lit under him again. Many times we are ignited by God's words and call on our lives and then the pressures and responsibilites of life get in the way. We need to be relit so to speak, to recharge our batteries so that we can move forward with what it is the Lord has called us to do. "being confident of this, that he who began a good work in you will carry it on to completion until the day of Christ Jesus." Amen
