One of our greatest sources of strength--Knowing that Jesus is interceding on our behalf...


                             The Completed Work of Christ


Intercession 

**  Tells us what Jesus is doing for us today.

**  By-product is peace, comfort, assurance, and confidence.

**  Gives us an example of what we are to be doing today.

**  Takes the focus off of us and our ability to “remember what to pray for” and puts it in the hands of Jesus and His “shepherding” the children of God.

Text:

Isaiah 53:12  “Yet He Himself bore the sin of many, and interceded for the transgressors.”

Hebrews 7:24,25  “but He, on the other hand, because He abides forever, holds His priesthood permanently.  Hence, also, He is able to save forever those who draw near to God through Him, since He always lives to make intercession for them.”

Romans 8:26, 27  "And in the same way the Spirit also helps our weakness; for we do not know how to pray as we should, but the Spirit Himself intercedes for us with groanings too deep for words; and He who searches the hearts knows what the mind of the Spirit is, because He intercedes for the saints according to the will of God."

Romans 8:34  “Christ Jesus is He who died, yes, rather who was raised, who is at the right hand of God, who also intercedes for us.”

A new beginning for a new concept of ministry.

 After retiring from active pastoral ministry in 2010, I have finally decided to get back into a new form of Christian and Biblical ministry--and that is through a totally Christian blog based on Biblical truth.  It will be an opportunity to share Biblical truths and insights and also to minister the Gospel in a new and unique way.   We will be blogging about the entire spectrum of Christian topics, thoughts, and concepts.   This is the beginning of our new step of faith.   I hope you enjoy it, study with us, and contribute when you are comfortable doing so.   We are open to your thoughts and ideas about how to embark on our new venture.   The vast majority of our time and efforts will be studying, sharing, and learning about how to "walk in the Spirit" and to discover all of the marvelous things the Spirit of the Lord can do in and through a consecrated life. In our Lord, Randy

Beginning Your New Faith Adventure with the Spirit

 As you get ready to start your new faith adventure it is imperative that you have a good solid understanding of what happened to you when you got saved, what the Spirit did then and is doing now, and what He will be doing in the days ahead.  This all begins when you get saved and enter into a living relationship with the Lord.   Let's begin with this teaching about the indwelling of the Spirit...

Moving Along in our Faith Adventure: Understanding and Appropriating Justification and Propitiation

  Understanding and appropriating justification and propitiation are two critical foundations for your faith experience.  Let's lay the groundwork with our understanding of justification and then move on to propitiation.   Two big words but easy to understand and experience when you search out the Scriptures.  Integrate these two words into your spiritual vocabulary so you can depend on them and use them in your walk of faith.   JUSTIFICATION Romans 3:24   “being justified as a gift by His grace through the redemption which is in Christ Jesus. Romans 5:1   “Therefore having been justified by faith, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ.” Romans 5:9   “having now been justified by His blood…” Romans 8:30 “whom He called, these He also justified…” Galatians 2:16   “nevertheless knowing that a man is not justified by the works of the Law but through faith in Christ Jesus, even we have believe in Christ Jesus, tha...
