A Walk of Faith & Honesty

As a child of God, we all have a powerful Testimony to tell, sharing how we came to Jesus and the difference He's made in your life, that can help others discover how they, too, can know God personally.

But how do you distill a lifetime of experiences into a few minutes and communicate the significance of your faith in a way others can understand?this is the challenge.

1. Consult God first in everything. Talk to your Father in Heaven, trusting in his will and word to come to pass in your life.

 It is better to trust in the Lord than to put confidence in man.
-Psalm 118:8 KJV

Ask, and it shall be given you; seek, and ye shall find; knock, and it shall be opened unto you:
-Matthew 7:7

2. Be yourself and be completely honest to yourself and to others.

 Lying lips are abomination to the Lord: but they that deal truly are his delight.
-Proverbs 12:22 KJV

3. Prayer: Pray always trusting in God to answer in his time and to do whats best for you.

Pray without ceasing.
-1 Thessalonians 5:17 KJV       

4. Let the Holy Spirit lead you.

For as many as are led by the Spirit of God, they are the sons of God.
-Romans 8:14 KJV

And I will pray the Father, and he shall give you another Comforter, that he may abide with you for ever;
-John 14:16 KJV

Thank you to all our Reader's, If you have any questions to ask feel free to ask Dawn or myself.

May Godbless you al

With Blessing in Christ,

Confessing Sin

When people hear confessing your sins they think of monks in a monastery or stepping into a formal confessional at the end of mass. However, God’s Word teaches us that confession is an important practice for everyone’s daily lives.

What does the Holy Bible say about confession?

We all make promises we know we can't keep, sign contracts we're unsure we can uphold. Throughout his life, David made contracts and promises that eventually fell apart. It wasn't until he turned his life over to God that he understood the true difference between these contracts and a covenants of God.


In this post, David discusses these differences.

One Way to Grace provides readers an insight into how trust and faith in the Holy Spirit radically alerted the path of David's life. The fruits, or gifts, of the Spirit are laid out clearly both in the life experiences of believers and indelibly within Scripture.

In this post David has asked his wife, Gay, to discuss with us the Fruits of the Spirit.

REPENTANCE

The word repentance means deep sorrow; regret for any past action, wrongdoing, conviction of the heart, or sinful ways. A sincere turning away in both mind and heart from mans sinful ways to God.

To repent in relation to salvation is to change your mind from rejection of Jesus Christ to the faith of Jesus Christ, to recognize that He is indeed "Lord and Saviour".

And saying, The time is fulfilled, and the kingdom of God is at hand: repent ye, and believe the gospel.
-Mark 1:15

And be not conformed to this world: but be ye transformed by the renewing of your mind, that ye may prove what is that good, and acceptable, and perfect, will of God.
-Romans 12:2

All the Prophets, apostles and even Our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ called for repentance.

From that time Jesus began to preach, and to say, Repent: for the kingdom of heaven is at hand.
-Matthew 4:17

I came not to call the righteous, but sinners to repentance.
-Luke 5:32

 The goodness of God leads us to repentance.

Or despisest thou the riches of his goodness and forbearance and longsuffering; not knowing that the goodness of God leadeth thee to repentance?
-Romans 2:4

By Gods Love and great Mercy, when we  repent, believe in Jesus Christ alone and what He did for us at the cross of Calvary. God then is able to restore that relationship with Himself  by His Grace, leading us to receive the gift of the Holy Spirit, to continue to guide us into all truth ,the renewing of our minds through Gods word, personal relationship in prayer, and the inwardly and outwardly changing of our lives. A person who has truly repented from the rejection of Christ to faith in Jesus Christ will give evidence of a changed heart, mind and life showing the love of God.

FORGIVENESS

What is Forgiveness by God?
Mankind has a sinful nature. Adam and Eve disobeyed God in the Garden of Eden, and humans have been sinning against God ever since.
God Almighty provided a way for us to be forgiven, and that way is through His only beloved Son Our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ. Jesus confirmed that in no uncertain terms when he said:

Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me.
-John 14:6 King James Version

God’s plan of salvation was to send Jesus, His only Son, into the world as a sacrifice for our sins. Because of our sinful nature, we cannot repair our broken relationship with God on our own. Moreover, that sacrifice had to be perfect and spotless. Only Jesus Christ was qualified to do that for us. During the last supper Jesus said:

For this is my blood of the new testament, which is shed for many for the remission of sins.
-Matthew 26:28 King James Version

 Why do we have to forgive others?

We cannot hold grudges, bitterness, or seek revenge because when we do it only eats away at us, the feeling of tumult and pain on the inside just keeps getting worse, leaving us resentful, hard-hearted. The longer we refuse, the more unwilling we become to forgive. We are to trust God for justice and forgive the other person who offended us.

For if ye forgive men their trespasses, your heavenly Father will also forgive you:
But if ye forgive not men their trespasses, neither will your Father forgive your trespasses.
-Matthew 6:14-15 King James Version

In order for us to be forgiven we must forgive others, which then releases us from all resentfulness, bitterness and ill feeling and gives us freedom from the pain inside and leads to peace in our hearts.
