Joh 6:29 Jesus answered and said unto them, This is
the work of God, that ye believe on him whom he hath sent.
The work of God.
To believe on Jesus
Christ.
A reality. To
believe makes it a reality. If I say I
believe in Santa Claus, I'm saying I believe he is real. To believe is to make
our Savior a reality.
Lately I've been
studying a lot on being in God's presence, being in pursuit of God and as a
result, Satan has begun unrelenting attacks on me. Satan doesn't want us living
in God's presence. Satan doesn't want us to be in pursuit of God. Satan does
not want Jesus to be a REALITY to us in our everyday life. Satan wants us
caught up in ourselves in any aspect of ourselves. The bad- he will make us feel guilt and
despair. The good- he will make us feel guilty and despair. Satan will use our
past, even our immediate past. IF we are feeling a moment of pride, Satan is
there encouraging that pride to take root in us. If we feel overwhelming regret
for past actions, Satan is there to tell us we don't deserve forgiveness. Satan
speaks loudly and if we are not living in God's presence, we are living in
Satan's.
Think about that for
a moment.
There are only TWO
masters we can choose from, but one thing we cannot choose, is to live without
a master. One master will give us the
illusion that we serve no master but ourselves, but that's all it is, an illusion.
Many accept this illusion and believe themselves superior to those who choose
to deny the illusion. They'll even go so far as to tell those who believe that
they are the ones believing in an illusion.
The truth is buried beneath deception and as long as we choose NOT to
live in the presence of God, we are choosing to live in the presence of
Satan.
The work of God is
to believe in our Savior, and to believe is to truly live as Christ is a
REALITY, a living, breathing, loving, dying, God in flesh, God risen, our
King.
Please forgive us,
please save us, please open our hearts and minds to YOU are our truth, our
reality.
Please, not because
we deserve it but because Christ loves us, Christ died for us!
Please.
