Centurion Faith

Jesus is The Vine and we are His branches. The Father is the Gardener. Let The Father prune your branches daily with the sharp two edged pruning shears which He calls His Word. Every branch that bears fruit He prunes so that it may be even more fruitful. Aren’t you glad that He trims off the ugly so we can bear the beauty of His Fruit?!
Galatians 5:22

Salvation is a free gift. It can be received no other way. It’s God’s gift to you. Trying to earn salvation (by being a “good person”) is an offensive affront to God. Christ suffered the worst mental and physical anguish that a man could ever suffer in order to reconnect you to God. Don’t try to add to what Jesus has already done for you! Just say thank you Jesus!

When you start any sentence with “I”, what follows after will determine whether you are in The Flesh (In The Word) or in The Spirit. Set your “l’s” on Jesus, The Word made flesh who now lives in your flesh by His Spirit.

Let’s stop worshipping the unholy trinity of me, myself and I. Once we take our eyes and “I’s” off ourself and set them on Jesus we are set free. Seeing Jesus for who He IS causes us to see His Glory and that glory reflects off of us and on to others. 2Corinthians 3:18

Jesus actually made His Grace harder than the law by amplifying it. He made it a matter of the heart (spirit) than a matter of the flesh (law). He said if we look at a woman with lust it’s like committing adultery and if we are angry with a brother it’s like murdering him. He made our walk with Him “Mission Impossible” in the flesh, but “Mission HIM-possible” through our new Spiritual Union with Him.

For He hath made Him to be Sin for us, who knew no sin; that we MIGHT be made the righteousness of God in Him. 2Corinthians 5:21

The Church has been given a wake up call. As we enter these last days, we need to look to and learn from Jesus through His Word and His Spirit. Let us humble ourselves and take The Lord’s correction and redirection as He stands at the door of our hearts and knocks to come in!

Salvation has always been God’s Idea. Christ came to save sinners. This was God’s plan born out of His Love towards us. Forgiveness of sins is a beautiful gift and so is God’s presence in our lives through Holy Spirit. Receive both today and say thank you to God!

We have all we need in Jesus. Through our spiritual union with Christ (Holy Spirit) we lack nothing. Yes we have this wretched flesh to contend with, but in our spirits we are sealed in Him. There is nothing missing in your spirit and nothing broken. Walk in The Spirit today!

GRACE stands for God’s Righteousness At Christ’s Expense. How can we “frustrate” The Grace of God? By trying to earn our Righteousness (Salvation) by our works, or trying to pay God back for this gift. We are saved By Grace through faith in what Christ HAS done for us through His FINISHED work. See Galatians 2:21 & Ephesians 2:8-10.
