Uncertain Fire

When does it become certain that you are what you have chosen to be ?

Romans 10

When does it become unquestioned that you are who he has declared you to be ?

Romans 10

When will we grow past trying and effort to be what we are by his grace?

Ephesians 2:8-10

When will we become what we are - Sons and daughters - ambassadors of the Living King, representatives of the light up on a hill , messengers. . .

Overcoming not by your efforts to be something you can not be on your own, but rather learning to truly surrender by submitting to him and RESTING.

Matthew, Revelation

our call as the burdened is to decide, Stand, Rest.

Ephesians

It wasn't a request of your King it was a command. You do not have the ability in and of yourself to do anything more to be more accepted by your God, with one exception. Decide he is your Lord and King and be what you are by his grace, a Christian. You are never holier than the day you chose to believe because like a child you came to him and you gave yourself to him and didn't attempt to take anything back from him and was what you had become a Christian. Leave with him what is his alone - You.

Galatians 2:20

You will find as you focus and give glory less to your inability to be holy, continually looking at yourself worshiping yourself in a mirror forgetting him continually striving on your own and learn to look to him in your imperfection. Keeping him firmly in focus not swaying to the left or right as a reed looking at your failings and struggles but rather as you focus on him you will be in fact giving him what he deserves your adoration, not an empty love full of self achievement but rather a freedom of knowing he is able to perfect you in season renewing as you stand with him and let his love flow over you. You are not your own, you are not your God. Rest in him he is able and that act of rest is a demonstration of the faith you eagerly seek everyday as you complicate your Gospel rather than simply sitting under your Kings wings. Safe. Free. Forever Changed. Holy. Blessed. Altogether HIS.

The Holy Spirit convicts, you examine, you repent and believe the Gospel. in that agreement your God moves. You have enough to do. Focus on what he would have you do while he shows you what needs to be changed in his time not yours. You will find if you do what he asks for you to do, you will be too busy to stand in front of a mirror primping and stroking your self image of Christianity and that is freedom .

Amen
