As we embark on these next few chapters, I want yo

As we embark on these next few chapters, I want you to really consider by whom they were written. Peter! Rambunctious, quick tempered, Christ denying, Peter. No wonder these letters are filled with such grace. He writes to show us that it is the wonderful and powerful grace of God that is the fuel that makes us powerful overcomers. Peter admonishes the reader, the believers that our lives are not our own, that we’ve been bought with a price more costly than silver or gold, and therefor our lives are not, or more accurately should not be lived after the dictates of our flesh, but rather after His instruction. May the reading of these writings by Peter, embolden us to preserve, empower us to overcome, and encourages us to remain faithful to our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ. Every trial that you face, treat it as an opportunity to show that your faith is genuine. We trust in a Living God who has given us living hope and we can walk, everything that we face, out in love, by faith through His amazing grace.
“Celebrate with praises the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who has shown us his extravagant mercy. For his fountain of mercy has given us a new life—we are reborn to experience a living, energetic hope through the resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead.” 1 Peter‬ ‭1:3‬ ‭TPT‬‬

There are so many verses here. In fact, John told me the other day that I should just share verse by verse...😂
I’ll spare you a lengthy blurb, and instead I will share what’s in my heart about the second last verse. I am going to quote it from a few translations.
“He that is slow to anger is better than the mighty; and he that ruleth his spirit than he that taketh a city.” That’s verse 32‬ ‭in the KJV‬‬
Now let’s look at the same verse in The Passion Translation: “Do you want to be a mighty warrior? It’s better to be known as one who is patient and slow to anger. Do you want to conquer a city? Rule over your temper before you attempt to rule a city.”
It sounds so easy when you’re reading it during your ‘quiet time’! Sitting with your hot morning drink, feeling the warm sun on your face as it gradually rises, Bible in your lap. There are no distractions, no phones ringing, nobody tugging at you, calling your name or asking redundant questions. You read this verse in proverbs and give mental assent to what you’re reading. Of course. It makes perfect sense. You say to yourself, “Self, today you will be known for your patience. You will rule over your temper. Christ dwells in you, you’re better than the mighty!”
I don’t think I’m alone in this when I say that despite that confession it may only be mere hours later that our patience has run out!? But here’s the thing! When you fall, just get back up, don’t ever stop confessing Gods Word over yourself. Meditate on it day and night, and keep your confessions rooted in the Word. Look up Isaiah 55:11

Yup, that’s a Bible word Over time you’ve come

Yup, that’s a Bible word
Over time you’ve come to know my heart, or at the very least you’ve caught a glimpse of it. In case you’re new to this, let me try to quickly sum it up. John and I want to see people saved by the precious blood of Jesus. We want to see people’s lives changed from despair to peace, from sadness to joy and from lack to abundance. We desire for people to experience the abundant life that Jesus came to give.
Abundant - yup, that’s a Bible word.
abundant - existing or available in large quantities; plentiful
Now from 1828 Noah Webster’s Dictionary: ABUNDANT , adjective, Plentiful; in great quantity, fully sufficient; as an abundant supply. In scripture, abounding; having in great quantity, overflowing with. The Lord is abundant in goodness and truth. Exodus 34
“The thief cometh not, but for to steal, and to kill, and to destroy: I am come that they might have life, and that they might have it more abundantly.”
‭‭John‬ ‭10:10‬ ‭KJV‬‬
“A thief has only one thing in mind—he wants to steal, slaughter, and destroy. But I have come to give you everything in abundance, more than you expect —life in its fullness until you overflow!”
‭‭John‬ ‭10:10‬ ‭TPT‬‬
The love that God has for us his children is abundant. There is no limit, no end and truly there is no way to disqualify yourself from his forgiving merciful and abundant love. The abundant love of God was poured out and displayed at Calvary. Receive it today!

This famous psalm written by King David clearly sh

This famous psalm written by King David clearly shows his repentance over the affair with Bathsheba and murder of Uriah her husband. David pours out his heartfelt sorrow for having sinned against God and openly declares his sin. David first hand witnessed, in fact was a target of King Sauls torturous ordeal, who, due to sin was tormented the remaining years of his reign by an oppressing demon spirit which caused Saul severe terror, and the loss of the Dynasty. This was a factor I’m sure, that caused David to be quick enough to realize his mistake and more than eager to make things right with his God. He had seen the Spirit of God taken away. When I was first born again, one of my favourite songs to sing was a song based on this scripture. Whenever I sinned I would pray this prayer of David until I learned that it is incorrect for us, now that we are in Christ Jesus, now that we’re under the new and better covenant! You see, that’s the difference between an old covenant person and a new covenant person. Once we are born again,we are changed from unrighteous to perfectly righteous. Look at 2 Corinthians 5:17 “Therefore if any man be in Christ, he is a new creature: old things are passed away; behold, all things are become new.” KJV‬‬
Also, let’s look at this verse from John 14: “And I will ask the Father, and he will give you another Advocate, who will never leave you.” (Verse 16 NLT) and Hebrews 13:5b: “…I will never leave thee, nor forsake thee.”
So, when we pray in connection to an area in our life where we missed the mark, let us pray New Testament prayers, where we declare over ourselves who we are in Christ rather than rhyming off our mistakes (which are not a surprise to God!) and calling ourselves names. Instead we can be quick to repent and then be confident that we are forgiven and that our sin, past, present and future is ALL under the precious blood of Christ. I’ll close with this: “Who his own self bare our sins in his own body on the tree, that we, being dead to sins, should live unto righteousness: by whose stripes ye were healed.” 1 Peter‬ ‭2:24‬ ‭KJV‬‬
