Position vs. Condition

Messages of Hope - Chapter 6

This chapter focuses on teaching you how to change your condition irrespective of your position. The Bible teaches that God is no respecter of persons;
Then Peter opened his mouth, and said; Of a truth I perceive that God is no respecter of persons: But in every nation he that feareth him, and worketh righteousness, is accepted with him.
— Acts 10:34-35

God responds to our faith and accepts anyone that has reverence for and obeys His Word. This principle idea comes from Jesus’ teachings about the Canaanite woman and the prodigal son.

Where Your Road Meets His

February 1, 2020 • A.J. Dummitt

There is a place in every life where we come in contact with Jesus Christ. It does not matter if you’re young or old, rich or poor, black or white, Hispanic or Asian, because in every life you’ll come to a place where your road will meet with the Master. The place is usually somewhat uncomfortable and it becomes either a turning point or a stopping point in your relationship with the God of the universe. The great news is that Jesus loves you. He gave his life for you on a cross, and He doesn’t want you to perish eternally.

All The Way Out

God never intended for you to be half saved. God never does anything half way, when He forgives your sins, He forgives all of them, not a half of them, not three-fourths of them, not a fourth of them but when He forgives you, He forgives you completely. Many people have been completely forgiven by God, but try to live a split life. Half living the new life in Christ while still living their old life of sin and pleasing their self. Is there no escaping the bondage of the past? Everything around you seems to say that doom is certain, but God brought you here. God led you here. When you get to the place where only God can save, Hallelujah! It is at this point that we must do what the children of Israel were told to do; stand still and see the salvation of the Lord.

Cast Off The Coat

And they came to Jericho: and as he went out of Jericho with his disciples and a great number of people, blind Bartimaeus, the son of Timaeus, sat by the highway side begging. — Mark 10:46 Jesus comes out of Jericho, and He passes right by this blind man called Bartimaeus. It doesn’t seem as if Jesus was looking for people with needs, He was just passing by. He didn’t stop or look around or ask anyone if they had a need, He was simply passing by. Many people feel like Jesus has passed them by. Sometimes people get their feelings hurt because Jesus doesn’t force His way into their lives to meet their needs. This story shows us the way to get God’s attention is to humble ourselves and cry out to Him.
