What a wonderful day to spend with the Lord

God is so good! What an amazing God and how He shows things to us when we take time early to sit with him. We are so blessed in such a time as this to have the time to spread in His presence!! Soak it up! Soak in the Holy Ghost, let Him rain upon you!!

Ephesians 2:4-7 KJV

4. But God, who is rich in mercy, for his great love wherewithal he loved us,

5. Even when we were dead in sins, hath quickened us together with Christ, (by grace ye are saved;)

6. And hath raised us up together, and made us sit together in heavenly places in Christ Jesus:

7. That in the ages to come he might shew the exceeding riches of his grace in his kindness toward us through Christ Jesus.

Romans 6:9-13

9. Knowing that Christ being raised from the dead deity no more; death hath no more dominion over them.

10. For in that he died, he died unto sin once: but in that he liveth, he liveth unto God.

11. Likewise reckon ye also yourselves to be dead indeed unto sin, but alive unto God through Jesus Christ our Lord.

12. Let not sin therefore reign in your mortal body, that ye should obey it in the lusts thereof.

13. Neither yield ye you’re members as instruments of unrighteousness unto sin: but yield yourselves unto God, as those that are alive from the dead, and your members as instruments of righteousness unto God.

Ephesians 2:5 Amplified Bible

5. Even when we were [spiritually] dead and separated from Him because of our sins, He made us [spiritually] alive together with Christ (for by His grace-His underserved favor and mercy - you have been saved from God’s judgment).

We see here that spiritual death is being separated from God, and God made us spiritually alive together with Christ!!

We are alive only through Jesus Christ blood, we ahve been made alive only through God’s grace - Gods under serving favor and mercy! Mercy and grace is totally undeserving. Each time I see it in scripture I am amazed and thankful that God shown compassion upon me and expressed his grace towards me. And to think He has a plan and a purpose for us!! That is unbelievable!! Just because I see his perfectness and his greatness and cannot even imagine how i fit in that , but God made me in Christ Jesus and set me in heavenly places with him to do so!!! WOW!!

There is only tow ways we are told to be and that is hot or cold, on fire or stone cold. With God or separate from Him, spiritually alive or spiritually dead. We need to examine ourselves daily and see where we fit in at. If we find ourself slipping into a spiritually dead place then seek /god more intensely and you will see that what you thought was you slipping into a dead place was God bringing you from glory to glory, but only if you seek him. If you decide to just stay in the place you are in then you become lukewarm and God spites you out of His mouth, like puke, and you fall into coldness and in a spiritually dead place.

We fight daily to grow, Satan is fighting with all he has right now because he knows his time is coming to an end and he wants to get all he can. Those who fight the good fight and know who we are in Christ Jesus and know we are made to set in heavenly places with good then we have the ability to pick up the weapons of warfare, that is God’s armor, and fight the good fight.

We have been saved from the judgment of God! That is the most important thing to know; that the wrath of God will not come nigh us, we will only reap what we sow and we will also be as a child when needing correction, the judgment, the wrath of God will not come near us!! We are seated in heavenly places near God, in Jesus Christ!!

God bless each of you and I am praying for you all. Have a blessed day in the Lord!! I pray this anointing of God falls upon you as you read this and God speaks clearly to you today.
