Title: Letting
Christ Get Things Done

Hello My Friend,

As
Christians, we must admit that there are times when we can't even
trust ourselves to get things done, let alone trust Jesus to get
things done for us. However, it is only when we put our complete
trust in Him that He will be able to direct our paths and get things
done. God wants us to acknowledge Him in all things, the more we
acknowledge Him the more we will follow His commands, the more we
follow His commands the more learn to trust only in Him. “My
son, forget not my law; but let thine heart keep my commandments: For
length of days, and long life, and peace, shall they add to thee. Let
not mercy and truth forsake thee: bind them about thy neck; write
them upon the table of thine heart: So shalt thou find favour and
good understanding in the sight of God and man. Trust in the LORD
with all thine heart; and lean not unto thine own understanding. In
all thy ways acknowledge him, and he shall direct thy paths. Be not
wise in thine own eyes: fear the LORD, and depart from evil.”
- Proverbs 3:1-7.

“In all thy
ways acknowledge him” The key to acknowledging God and
trusting Him to get things done for us is to remain in His Word so we
can understand His simple ways. Jesus had one objective here on
earth, besides taking the sins of every person to the cross with Him,
it was to teach His Gospel His way. Jesus could not stress this more
and that is why He often spoke in parables, if they could understand
a simple story they could believe and be saved. Jesus tells all to
listen to what is being said about the Gospel, there is only one way
to God, many will think they are saved only to get the worst wake up
call of their lives.

“No man,
when he hath lighted a candle, covereth it with a vessel, or putteth
it under a bed; but setteth it on a candlestick, that they which
enter in may see the light. For nothing is secret, that shall not be
made manifest; neither any thing hid, that shall not be known and
come abroad. Take heed therefore how ye hear: for whosoever hath, to
him shall be given; and whosoever hath not, from him shall be taken
even that which he seemeth to have.
Then came to him his mother and his brethren, and could not come at
him for the press. And it was told him by certain which said, Thy
mother and thy brethren stand without, desiring to see thee. And he
answered and said unto them, My
mother and my brethren are these which hear the word of God, and do
it.” - Luke 8:16-21.

“For
nothing is secret, that shall not be made manifest”
Nothing about knowing and having a relationship with God is a secret,
there are no secret codes, there is no secret rituals, and there are
definitely no secret works that save your soul from hell, there is
only believing in Jesus. Jesus did not speak in parables to confuse
people, He spoke to help them understand, it often takes a basic
story to give a simple, but effective message. God is not the one who
confuses people, people are, and their crazy religions. “For
God is not the author of confusion, but of peace, as in all churches
of the saints.” - 1 Corinthians 14:33.

As Jesus
went from town to town, something amazing was happening, more and
more people started believing, Jews and Gentiles alike. A man named
Jairus, had a twelve year old daughter that was dying, when he heard
that Jesus was in town, he ran up to Him and begged Him to come to
his house. “But as he went the people
thronged him. While he yet spake, there cometh one from the ruler of
the synagogue's house, saying to him, Thy daughter is dead; trouble
not the Master. But when Jesus heard it, he answered him, saying, Fear not: believe only, and she shall
be made whole. And when he came into
the house, he suffered no man to go in, save Peter, and James, and
John, and the father and the mother of the maiden. And all wept, and
bewailed her: but he said, Weep not;
she is not dead, but sleepeth. And
they laughed him to scorn, knowing that she was dead. And he put them
all out, and took her by the hand, and called, saying, Maid,
arise. And her spirit came again,
and she arose straightway: and he commanded to give her meat.”
- Luke 8:49-55.

“Fear not:
believe only,” Everyone who, by faith believes that
Jesus can heal them, not only from their illnesses, or diseases but
their sins as well will be healed. It may not be in the way we
expect, but whatever decision God makes in how He makes us whole it's
His decision. Why then do so many people die that believe? They are
not dead, only sleeping. Every, born again believer has a living soul
filled with the Spirit of God in it, and while the physical body will
die, the soul is alive and well with Jesus in heaven. We need not
fear death or anyone else who died that accepted Jesus as their
Saviour, but those who have not there is no hope for them. “For
what is a man advantaged, if he gain the whole world, and lose
himself, or be cast away? For whosoever shall be ashamed of me and of
my words, of him shall the Son of man be ashamed, when he shall come
in his own glory, and in his Father's, and of the holy angels. But I
tell you of a truth, there be some standing here, which shall not
taste of death, till they see the kingdom of God.”
- Luke 9:25-27.

“Of him shall the Son of man be ashamed,”
Jesus does not force Himself on anyone, but if they deny Him, He will
deny them. No person saved should be ashamed to say that they know
Christ, no matter where they are. Now, there are ways we can tell
people about Jesus without throwing a bunch of Scripture in the
story, simple stories still today save many people. People all over
the world are able to teach Jesus in places where it is even against
the law to talk about Him, it's all about trusting God and letting
Him use us in His way. When we put our trust in Him, we will be
blessed and He will get things done for us. “For
the scripture saith, Whosoever believeth on him shall not be ashamed.
For there is no difference between the Jew and the Greek: for the
same Lord over all is rich unto all that call upon him. For whosoever
shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved.” -
Romans 10:11-13.

Today's Prayer:
Jesus, You complete me, and make me whole. While I know that all
things are possible with You, I know my fears weaken my faith and can
hinder me from seeing You work in my life. Lord, You are my strength,
so give me Your strength, increase my faith, and give me Your power
to get through my troubles. Walk with me, guide me, and give me the
peace I need to follow Your ways, and wait for You to get things done
for me. In Your name, Jesus, Amen.

God Bless You, I am
praying for you,
Christina
