• Matthew 28:6 NIV

  He is not here; he has risen, just as He said. 
  Come and see the place where he lay.
  Read Matthew 28 | View in parallel | Compare Translations

It is sad that people, even Christians, do not totally absorb the enormity of Jesus' Resurrection. 

In an instant, in raising Jesus from the dead, God approved, Verified, Sanctified, and Glorified making Holy all things Jesus ever said, did, and thought. Beyond that, there is not one iota written, not one scrap of evidence the enemies of Jesus tried in any way to truly convince people to the contrary.  The Sanhedrin, the Temple Leaders that had Jesus put to death KNEW of the Truth about Jesus,  

 He was Killed, but now He is alive!

In and by their silence 

Jesus' enemies, powerful enemies,

 tells us the Truth of the Resurrection. 

In our our belief in Jesus as Lord and Savior, 

    in the faith put in us by God (Romans 12:3),
        in the Guidance of the Holy Spirit,
            in our Trusting God, 

                we know and feel the Truth of the Resurrection.

To know God, know Jesus;  To know Jesus, Believe and Pray; 
     Pray, Study the Bible, and Trust God  (John 8:19, et.al.).

Then, more than anything, 
   Seek the Kingdom for your life,
       Listen for Him to Speak to you, and
          Seek to feel the Guidance of the Holy Spirit.

For as much as a good parent desires to perfectly guide their child,
   God most assuredly loves you, 
        He surely will Speak to you
              and
                    The Holy Spirit will fill you and guide you.

Just Listen and you will know you will feel

the Truth of Jesus,
 the Truth of the Resurrection,
the Truth of God's Love for us.

Thanks Be to God

IMAGINE THE TEMPLE LEADERS ON RESURRECTION MORNING when they heard of Jesus' Resurrection.  They must have really freaked out when the guards reported THAT JESUS WAS ALIVE!.  As odd as it was for the Roman guards to go to the Temple leaders, the guards were quite convincing as the Temple leaders gave them money to be quiet, Matthew 28:11-15.    Please share the message on your Fb page as you like, and if you like, click the FB 'Follow' button to have notifications of these publications.  For other messages like this, visit my FB page, or on FB visit-"A Daily Thought Group".

It is sad that people, even Christians, do not totally absorb the enormity of Jesus' Resurrection. In an instant, in raising Jesus from the dead, God approved, Sanctified, and Made Holy everything Jesus ever said, did, and thought.

In their silence His enemies tells us the Truth of the Resurrection. In our Trusting God, we know and feel the Truth of the Resurrection.

A Random Thought on Self-Control

A Random Thought on Selfish Self-Control

We are not created to selfishly control and direct every event and activity influencing our lives. 

God gives us the ability to affect much of our lives.  But, there is so much influence, both good and bad, from other people and nature that we have absolutely no ability to change, affect, or control that influence and its effect on what we think, do, and feel.

Far too often, events acting on our lives for which we have no control can lead us into worry.  One of Jesus' commands was to not worry.  What He said was good for the people who heard it,  is still good and righteous for us today, and will positivly guide our future!

Matthew 6:31-34

31 So do not worry, saying,         'What shall we eat?' or 'What shall we drink?' or 'What shall we wear?'32 For the pagans run after all these things, and         your heavenly Father knows that you need them.33  But seek first his kingdom and his righteousness, and        all these things will be given to you as well.34 Therefore do not worry about tomorrow,              for tomorrow will worry about itself.         Each day has enough trouble of its own.
Jesus tells us not to worry.  The Truth of that comes in the fact that everything He said, did, taught, and thought was verified by His Resurrection!  
We MUST Trust His Truth and His Commands to us.
Therefore, worry becomes sinful because it puts a barrier between us and Trusting God.  We can be concerned, but excessive concern that is worry over things we cannot control is sinful.  It is as selfishly telling God, "I will not Trust you to help me through this worry!"
Jesus had another command for us:John 14:1Jesus Comforts His Disciples
1"Do not let your hearts be troubled.          Trust in God; trust also in me."
It is hard to Worship God to your fullest when you are worried. Seek to be concerned about the things you can change, pray for wisdom to make the change, and lift the rest to Him in Trust.

Thanks be to God

Do You Really Trust God?

                                                                         

Do You Really Trust God?

Jesus Comforts His Disciples
John 14:1 "Do not let your hearts be troubled. 

      Trust in God; 

        trust also in me."

We feel the Holy Spirit most when we are abundantly willing to accept the Spirit and we are most willing when submitting ourselves in obedience to God's will. There are many different circumstances we may abundantly feel the Holy Spirit in our lives.  This is but one.

Often this willingness to accept the Holy Spirit comes in a time of stress where we feel a failure and most dependent on God and His grace. Submission to God's will in tough and rough times is the greatest demonstration of us Trusting God. How wonderful it is to Trust God and see His glorious work in our lives.  We may even call it a miracle, but for God, it is just His everyday work.

In His love for us, God is most concerned about what is Good for us.  God certainly wants us to love Him, but in His desire for peace in our lives, maybe He desires more that we Trust Him, for in trusting Him we will truly come to love Him.  Trusting God is the great demonstration that we truly believe and the faith He has built in us has fully engulfed our lives.  In our worst times, we must Trust God.  We may hate our circumstances, we may abhor our choices, we may even hate God in a moment of stress.  But, here and now as you read this, regardless of circumstances, commit to and set your mind to Trust God.  I did, my first night in Vietnam, 1972.  I was and still filled in the Glory He showed me in the form of the Holy Spirit.

Jesus, the Great Example of living our lives Trusting God, showed this trait of submitting to God's will in the Garden of Gethsemane.  He could have perhaps run out the back gate as nobody wants to die at age 33.  But, in submission to God's will He gave us the framework in His final prayer.  Regardless of what we want in life, but more importantly regardless of our needs, we show submission to God's ways for us by starting our prayers on our knees and finishing our prayers with "... not my will but your will be done."

God Glorified Jesus raising Him from the dead.  Trust God, Trust Jesus and in your Trust you will receive your Salvation.  In your Salvation you come to understand and feel the Glory of Trusting God and the Inner Guidance of the Holy Spirit to build that Trust.

Thanks be to God.
