No need to sow seed to experience God's miracles!

Believers, do you have a bad prognosis from your doctor and your medication seems to be doing no good? Are you doing so much yet getting little to no results? Are you depressed? Are you held down by acts of sin that just won't let go no matter how hard you try to stop? Then there is Good News for you!

The world says you have to do certain things by your own power - fast, sow seeds, be nice to kids so you can be blessed with yours, keep the law, etc - before you can experience God's miracles - all additional burdens on the heavy-laden! But God's word says differently for we who are in Christ! See Galatians 3:5-

"Therefore He who supplies the Spirit to you and works miracles among you, does He do it by the works of the law, or by the hearing of faith?— "

See the NLT version: "I ask you again, does God give you the Holy Spirit and work miracles among you because you obey the law? Of course not! It is because you believe the message you heard about Christ."

Believers, God supplies the Spirit to us and works miracles among us not because of our puny efforts at being good, how many seeds we sowed or how well we keep the law but by the hearing of faith! Wonderful as our running up and down doing righteous things are, they only serve to cut one off from Christ according to Galatians 5:4.

Bear in mind that "the law is not of faith," so the one that is still believing that it is his good works and near-perfect obedience to the law that makes God bless him is faithless; without faith, it is impossible to please God.

Beloved of God, don't be deceived by those who tell you that you need to give or do certain things to get from God. With Christ, we don't GIVE to GET; we GET to GIVE. When you believe right, you will live right. First come to Him empty and He will fill you with His righteousness. When you seek His righteousness and not yours, all these things will be added unto you. In Him, we get to give right, do right, love, sow seed right, and do exploits, yet not us but Christ in us. His love transforms the vilest offender to become as He is.

Taste and see that the Lord is good. Come to Him with ALL of your baggage of sins and with ALL of your worries. Carry NONE of your baggage of fasts, works done and laws kept to get Him to bless you, just like everyone that received from Him when He walked the earth as Man. He is the same yesterday, today and forever. He will help you.

See the heart of our Abba Father in Christ for you in Romans 8:32- "He who did not spare His own Son, but delivered Him up for us all, how shall He not with Him also freely give us all things?"
FREELY, and not because we first sowed seed, fasted or "played our part." Our part is to believe Him, and even this is by grace. Romans 1-5 is wonderful for this.The NLT version really breaks it down. Keep on hearing the hearing of faith- the message of the cross: GRACE, and you will experience God's supply of the Spirit and His miracles. His word says so!

How does one partake of the Lord's Supper in an unworthy manner?

How do you partake of the Holy Communion in an unworthy manner and eat and drink judgment to yourself? The bible says there is none righteous, no, not one, so it is definitely not by partaking when you're not 'righteous' as is being preached in many churches today! No one is righteous on their own. 1 Corinthians 11: 29 says it's by "...not discerning the Lord's body." The bible says in 1 Cor 11:30 that "for this reason, many are weak and sick among you, and many sleep." Notice that it is for the singular reason of "not discerning the Lord's body" and not because you committed some sin before partaking. With Christ as our righteousness and forsaking that which is borne of works of the law, we are righteous in God's eyes 100% because "He made Him who knew no sin to be sin for us that we might become the righteousness of God in Christ." 2 Corinthians 5:21. Bear in mind that without God's gift of righteous

Repentance - what is it?

When many of us believers think of the word Repentance, we think "feeling really bad because we sinned," "promising God that we will stop sinning," and "making the decision to live a holy life from now on." But did you notice that there is no Saviour Jesus in this equation? It all rests on you. Jesus does not do anything here. This is a Judas kind of repentance - towards self and not towards God. This is repentance to death and not repentance to life. The Parable of the Lost Sheep shows us what true repentance is - a gift from God. Luke 15: 4 - 7 “What man of you, having a hundred sheep, if he loses one of them, does not leave the ninety-nine in the wilderness, and go after the one which is lost until he finds it? 5 And when he has found it, he lays it on his shoulders, rejoicing. 6 And when he comes home, he calls together his friends and neighbours, saying to them, ‘Rejoice with me, for I have found my sheep which was lost!’ 7 I say to you that li

What does it mean to be a "neither cold nor hot" Christian?

Before his conversion, Saul was very zealous for God, upholding the Law and ensuring that anyone who believed that Jesus Christ has fulfilled the righteous requirements of the Law in all who believe landed in jail. Like his fellow Pharisees, his righteousness depended on his ability to keep the Law. His life and his ministry was all about "Thou shall not" and "Thou shall"... or else judgment, as it is with many who profess to believe in our Saviour Jesus today! Believers, don't be deceived! If you think that it is your various fasts, trips to some mountain, church donations and vigils and almost-strict observance of the Ten Commandments that makes God pleased with you or bless you, you are worse off than pre-conversion Paul and his fellow Pharisees whom Christ referred to as a "brood of vipers." What such people get in return for their self-righteousness is being cut off from Christ, according to Galatians 5:4 "For if you are trying to make
