SPRING FORTH NOW 2024

It’s a wonder God didn’t lose his temper and do away with the whole lot of us. Instead, immense in mercy and with an incredible love, he embraced us. He took our sin-dead lives and made us alive in Christ. He did all this on his own, with no help from us! Then he picked us up and set us down in highest heaven in company with Jesus, our Messiah.  Now God has us where he wants us, with all the time in this world and the next to shower grace and kindness upon us in Christ Jesus. Saving is all his idea, and all his work. All we do is trust him enough to let him do it. It’s God’s gift from start to finish! We don’t play the major role. If we did, we’d probably go around bragging that we’d done the whole thing! No, we neither make nor save ourselves. God does both the making and saving. He creates each of us by Christ Jesus to join him in the work he does, the good work he has gotten ready for us to do, work we had better be doing.

Ephesians 2:4-10 (MSG)

You and I must trust God enough that what He has begun in us He will bring to completion.  Our trust in God, coupled with our confidence in His abilities, His presence, power, and promises available to us, is more than enough for us to Press and Breakthrough anything to get to what He has declared for our lives.  God seeks to fulfill His Word, His promises, in and through us; we must make ourselves available to Him, and though we do not always make the mark, He has and will not give up on us if we are willing to continue to Press and Breakthrough.  Therefore, with God's commitment to and for us and our willingness to be available to and for God, we Open Up The Way to overcoming and inheriting all things, God’s wonderful work for life and life more abundantly fulfilled in and through us!
