Free Christian PowerPoint Templates and Backgrounds and Daily Bread --In His Holy Presence/Pardain Design

It is never the work we do for Christ that means something, but what He can do through us. Do I work for God, or do I let Him do His work through me? We are justified by faith, not by works.

God can only trust us when we have let Him make us one with Him.
I might trust God, but can He trust me? Or do I trust myself? As long as I trust myself (even a hint of possession), God cannot trust me (fully). I have to let everything go, and let Him make me one with Him. And the last person we usually let go is ourselves."As long as the heir is a child...He is subject to guardians and trustees until the time set by his father." (Gal 3:1-2)--until He can trust you...until you do not trust anything or anyone, but God, until you only see and hear HIM and then you will hear Him say-- I am pleased with you-- "GO and make disciples"...

Loyalty to God means more to Him than any work we do under the label of "Christian work" . Do I think I am a good Christian because I do Christian work? Or because I have been asked to or because as a Christian we should do it? Or do I do Christian work as a cover up, because secretly I do not want to abandon my will to God and let Him do His work through me His way? His way could be too degrading to my pride. Pride cannot take a step inside the Kingdom of God. It has to be left outside. Or do I do Christian work out of pure overflowing love for Jesus Christ? Just to please Him. "The only thing that counts is faith expressing itself through love" (Gal. 5:6). What is my motive?

Loyalty to God means more than our 'usefulness'.
Am I loyal to God, or am I choosing my own place where to serve, where I think or others think I am most useful? Or do I wait before God, until He sends me, until He assigns me a task. And when He sends me it has nothing to do with my usefulness, but for His Glory. It is only for one purpose. Do I seek the praise that comes from God or the praise that comes from other Christians? The work is never in vain when one waits before God to receive his/her task directly from the Lord and "each worker will be rewarded according to his labor."(1 Cor. 3:5,8)

If we live in our own understanding, death reigns in us, if we live in the wisdom of God, in Christ, Life reigns in us.
Have I let Christ to be formed in me? If I have I know I don't belong to myself anymore. I belong to Christ, and cannot rule my life anymore. "The wind blows wherever it pleases. You hear its sound, but you cannot tell where it comes from or where it is going. So it is with everyone born of the Spirit." (John 3:8). Or are there areas in my life where I do not want to yield to God? We cannot have both death and Life reign in us, we have to make a choice sooner or later. Everything in me that is not of Christ--thus, I haven't allowed Him to take over my whole being--I want to keep something for myself-- works against me.

There isn't any other way to grow spiritually, but through concentration on God.
Do I concentrate solely on God, and pleasing Him, and seeking His praise or is He only my Sunday church God, or prayer meeting God or Christian service God? Or is He everything to me? That I can say: 'In my world there is no one, but YOU, my Lord.' Do I only see Him in my world? Or is there still other things that I possess? Have I given up everything for His sake? Do I only listen to Him, or do I still listen to myself or other voices. To grow spiritually means that my interests to anything else but God will be drastically minimized. "If we live, we live to the Lord." (Rom: 14:8). "For I resolved to know nothing while I was with you except Jesus Christ and Him crucified."(1 Cor. 2:2).

We are not called to witness what God has done to us, but to be witnesses of Jesus Christ. Do I witness because I have seen the risen Lord? To be a witness of Jesus Christ means that I have seen Him after His resurrection. It means I have received a personal revelation from Him. We should never do witness until the Son of Man has risen in us (Mark 9:9).--until the Word is interpretable to us--until we understand Jesus' teachings. We know our theology, but do we know Jesus Christ personally? We can only know Him if we have given up everything for His sake--given the "right to myself" to Him and entered into His world in utmost humility, knowing our worthlessness---, and it can only happen in a way that is supernatural--that His life comes in me in a new birth and makes my spirit alive. This is salvation.

May God bless you.

BREAD for the SOUL The purpose of this site is to HONOR JESUS CHRIST --our Savior, Redeemer--our GOD, whom I love dearly and who is worthy all the worship and adoration in this whole world and beyond. God desires THE BEST and ONLY THE VERY BEST for us. In the Cross of Jesus Christ God manifestes His LOVE for us. He wants that we belong to Him totally, without Him we are nothing. If we all just knew His incredible caring for us, and how much He loves us, we would give up everything and run to Him, and do everything what He commands in the Bible. The only desire we would have is to please HIM..and LIVE ONLY FOR HIM--we would only have eyes for HIM, nothing else would matter, but HIM. And This is HIS WILL for us dear friends. ---> click to go to Christian PowerPoint templates

Your faith is tested by practical experience what we believe God to be. Matthew 6:33 sounds crazy with natural eyes --- "Seek first His Kingdom and His righteousness, and all these will be given to you as well."--and yet this is God's Word. And, we say, but, I need this and that...I need to plan my finances... but God says "Do not worry, I know you need them, BUT seek first.....these will be GIVEN to you as well." Looks mad, but am I venturing on His Word? God brings us to circumstances where we either continue to be his disciples or we turn away...Faith is always tested this way, and I will only increase my faith through a fight--going against what is common sense--and thus every Word is worth what it has cost me. Faith can only become a personal possession this way.
