Jump over your shadows

Hurt again, irritated, lied to, saddled with someone else’s responsibility and you only realize it when it is too late and you are tied in. Great! What fun that is, or?

Then you get angry with yourself and imagine all sorts of accusations against yourself and others….

Everyone is against me!

God, why do you allow this to happen?

God, I am your child and do you see what they are doing to me?

My temperature is at the highest degree.

Now I have to do something to get back at them.

God hears you and allows you time until you surrender all to Him.

When you are feeling a bit better, come quietly, don’t look back, nor to the left or right, just follow me.

OK.

Grace before Righteousness!

How many times have you experienced this?

I have lost count.

So, now it is my turn.

Stay factual, forgive your neighbor, speak forgiveness to those who have irritated you, as you have fallen yourself many times…

It is imperative that you pursue peace. Here is how to do it.

In the scriptures we are encouraged to do it:

Hebrews:. 12: 14

Make every effort to live in peace with everyone and to be holy, without holiness no one will see the Lord.

2 Peter 3:14

So then, dear friends, since you are looking forward to this, make every effort to be found spotless, blameless and at peace with him

So these two scriptures set out the expectations which we should strive towards.

That is where the lifestyle of a child of King Jesus Christ begins.

Then we are doers of the Word.

It also does not hurt, it is also not particularly difficult, it is not impossible to do.

Father thank you for those gathered here together. Pour out your peace in their hearts. Give them courage to live this new lifestyle, the lifestyle of Jesus Christ. Father, in Jesus name I come to you and ask you to forgive my obstinacy which always wants to return. The big ‘I’ that always wants rule and judge.

Thank you Father, thank you Jesus and thank you Holy Spirit for your love for us and in us.

Now we want to praise and worship you, for you are worthy and praise, worship and the honor.

Halleluja, thank you Lord. Amen
