Let’s Pray:
Dear heavenly Father I come to You on today with a willing mind to surrender to Your Word of direction for my life; a life that You so graciously blessed with renewed mercy.
Thank You Father God almighty in Jesus Christ Holy Name a`-men! Lesson:
Let’s look at having the future glory that is given through the life of the Spirit! Romans 8: v18- v30 but let us look at the later part of Romans 8 verses 12 – v17 in Scripture Paul expresses to you brothers and sisters that you have “NO OBLIGATION TO DO WHAT YOUR SINFUL NATURE URGES YOU TO DO.” Apostle Paul clearly states that if a person continues to follow their sinful nature that they would perish. This is not only a spiritual fact, but it is a Spiritual Truth.
Then Apostle Paul goes to say; but if you begin to allow your flesh to die to the sinful urges whatever they maybe, and allow the power of the Holy Spirit to help you turn from the evil deeds; you will live. “For ALL who are led by the Spirit of God are Children of God.” Even in John 1:12 “But to ALL who believed him and accepted him he gave the right to become children of God.” A`-men! God’s Word is His promise to you! He’s not a God that He should not lie; nor is He the Son of God that He should repent. His Word is Holy and True, and He love’s you very much. In fact He loves you with the same LOVE He has for His Only Begotten Son Jesus Christ. That’s how much He loves you and your family in spite of their sins or your sins. Just turn from the sinful evil acts and surrender your hearts and souls to Christ Jesus. A`-men!
The future glory knows who you are in and through the “Life of the Spirit” even in your struggles of living right, yet what you suffer is nothing compared to the glory He Will give you later. You have to know that you have the Spirit of God living inside of you or you don’t.
You might ask; well how does the Spirit of God come to live within me? By your act of FAITH in giving your life to Christ Jesus the best you know how and He Will meet you right where you are in your meek and humble way of turning to Him.
In Romans 8:27 As it is written in NLT bible “And the Father who knows all hearts knows what the Spirit is saying, for the Spirit pleads for us believers in harmony with God’s own Will. A`-men!
God created you in His image, so yes! He knows struggles, He knows pain, sickness and disease, how because “He bore ALL in His own body on the tree” 1 Peter 2:24. He knows what resentment feels like, He knows what hatred feels like, every time He was spat on or flogged upon those were the spirits of offence He endured in your behalf.
So He shared, and still to this day He’s still sharing in all the abuse no matter the form of abuse Jesus Christ is sharing in it with you, you must believe that He Is. We’re all called to pick up our cross and follow Him, if you so desire to follow Him Mark 8:34.
Even in your cross to bear He Is carrying the heaviest part of your cross sharing the load of hurts and dismay; but you have to desire to pick it up and walk before the Lord in the land of the living as the chosen person of God through the Life of the Spirit in Christ Jesus and “Walk by Faith and not by sight”2 Cor. 5:7.
God almighty is the creator of all creation, He knows when you as an elite child fall into trial and era, He knows that complacency is a breeding ground for temptation, but He wants you to be on guard against Satan’s schemes. Satan desires your soul to be ruled by him and not by God almighty! Our Lord and God is the lover of your soul; He’s the gift giver of everything about you. Every fiber of your being should get excited for Him, but because of the act of sin that entered in through our first parents (Adam and Eve) they did not know the consequences and power behind their choice of disobedience that would interfere with the “Future Glory” for all mankind’s soul.
Adam and Eve didn’t know that mankind would come under the fiery trials of SIN that was design to tie every soul to a hell bound experience before entering into the knowledge of the “FUTURE GLORY OF GOD” that would set souls and hearts free. Most struggles are not just a good thing, but they are a God thing. Struggle is needed to perfect your faith, and shape your future glory.
