Want Some Freedom?
Finding Jesus removes the veil over our eyes and now we’re not only free to see God’s glory but to reflect it!!!
We don’t fully understand that God uses our failures and our mistakes as a means of drawing us closer to Him.
“Come, let us return to the Lord. For He has torn us, but He will heal us; He has wounded us, but He will bandage us.”Hosea 6:1
How to Remove our Veil!
“Whenever anyone turns to the Lord, the veil is taken away”.
*Faith is ALL about responding to God. NOT just believing!
2 Corinthians 3:15 Even to this day when Moses is read, a veil covers their hearts.
*We can lift our personal veil daily by following Verse 16.
2 Corinthians 3:16 But whenever anyone turns to the Lord, the veil is taken away.
17 Now the Lord is the Spirit, and where the Spirit of the Lord is, there is freedom.
Thank You Jesus-help me now believe your words!! Yes-FREEDOM!
*Finding Jesus removes the veil over our eyes and now we’re not only free to see God’s glory but to reflect it!!!
* It always goes back to Others.
I’m NOT set FREE Just for Myself.
*I live to show others the way to God.
* I didn’t have the veil lifted just so I could gain heavy revelations everytime I read the Bible.
*It wasn’t just removed for my own insight!!!!!
The VEIL was removed so Others can see what’s going on in me.
* They can see the glory of God reflected in MY life! (Now that’s being salt and light)
Paul is telling us that since our salvation is rooted in the work of Jesus who is the SOURCE of His own glory, that our Hope can now be bold.
Do you have a Bold Hope today?
*We do not have to be like Moses who knew that the glory he reflected would eventually wear off.
*Jesus’ glory never wears off.
*Jesus’ glory is everlasting.
* Our HOPE in Jesus is Certain and True. *We can be bold in our Faith, and we can be bold proclaimers of our Faith.
* We have a Hope that is different than every other religion in the world.
** Our Savior, Redeemer, source of Absolute Truth is GOD Himself. Amen!
* God became one of us so that He might relate to, and save, us. It IS His glory, and not a reflected one, that we Hope in today. (Thank you Jesus for taking on the CROSS!)
*There is no reason that we can’t be bold in every way when it comes to our Hope in Jesus.
Today, let’s have a bold Hope!
Moses had to wear a veil, we need to take ours off!!!!!
1 John 3:2 Dear friends, now we are children of God, and what we will be has not yet been made known. But we know that when Christ appears, we shall be like him, for we shall see him as he is.
2 Corinthians 5:17 Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, the new creation has come: The old has gone, the new is here!
2 Corinthians 3:16 But whenever anyone turns to the Lord, the veil is taken away.
2 Corinthians 3:18 And we all, who with unveiled faces contemplate the Lord’s glory, are being transformed into his image with ever-increasing glory, which comes from the Lord, who is the Spirit.
*Don’t let past achievements hold you down.
* God wants us to think and dream bigger for His Glory.
**All Progress Starts with a Decision TO Change.
**All growth starts with a commitment to Real Action.
*”A vision without Action Is only a Delusion” is what we say in Moving Forward Group.
*God’s calling is to Move Foreword, to continue onward, to advance, and/or to MAKE improvement daily.
-God’s calling Is to make progress.
-Progress has a hefty price called CHANGE!
-Repentance: a change in mind!
Romans 12: 2 Do not conform to the pattern of this world, but be transformed by the Renewing of your mind. Then you will be able to test and approve what God’s will is—his good, pleasing and perfect will.
God’s plan for us is to love our neighbors as ourselves.
*Our body’s aren’t ours, Christ bought it for a price. Because of that, we shouldn’t do anything that is unclean or un-holy to it. We are just managers not owners of our Body once we have the Holy Spirit. He will direct us.
*Abuse of a thing happens when you don’t understand the Value of a thing.
*God’s plan for our lives is that we demonstrate the fruit of the spirit; love, joy, peace, long suffering, gentleness, goodness, faith, meekness, and temperance.
* Do not take evil persuasion that goes against God’s word like evolution and the Darwin theory.
We as Christians have to desire the sincere milk of the word as babies desire the milk from their mother because that’s how we grow.
***We have the right to defend the body that God has given us. God wants us to be more like Him so people who like how we act and how we are– will come to God too.(Actions stronger then words).
2 Corinthians 4: 18 So we fix our eyes not on what is seen, but on what is unseen, since what is seen is temporary, but what is unseen is eternal.
I pray that the eyes of your heart may be enlightened in order that you may know the Hope to which Jesus has called you, the riches of HIS glorious inheritance in HIS holy people,
Today, I want to encourage you to prepare your heart to expect God’s supernatural touch in your life. Open the eyes of your heart to Him- Remove the Veil. I pray that you experience God in such a way that EVERY Bondage is broken off of your life, and you are forever changed by a supernatural encounter with Him and “Set FREE”.
Father God, right now I invite You to transform me into Your image. Search my heart and mind and remove anything that is displeasing to You. Show me Your glory. Reveal Yourself to me as I keep my heart and mind focused on You. In Jesus’ Name. Amen.
