God's goodness and power

The greatest hope is only confirmed by God's goodness and power in Jesus,  and in you and I by the power if the Holy Spirit ...

Romans 8:18-39 is the passage I read this morning. And great peace has swept over me. The peace of God.

We walk by faith in hope of what we are being led in to will be exactly how God revealed it to be. The hope of redemption and salvation is a great hope and even though we have not seen it with our own eyes we see evidence all around us by the grace of God.

God leaves us evidence of His greatness and power, so we can conclude that there is no one greater or more powerful than He is. In fact, we do see miracles every day glory to God! By the power of the Holy Spirit. Even when evil arises,  the goodness and power of God will prevail as greater than evil - rescuing the inocent, bringing justice to the afflicted and delivering the prisoner from iron bars! But you must wait on the Lord, and He shall renew your strength


Romans 8:26-30 NLT
And the Holy Spirit helps us in our weakness. For example, we don’t know what God wants us to pray for. But the Holy Spirit prays for us with groanings that cannot be expressed in words. 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. And we know that God causes everything to work together for the good of those who love God and are called according to his purpose for them. For God knew his people in advance, and he chose them to become like his Son, so that his Son would be the firstborn among many brothers and sisters. And having chosen them, he called them to come to him. And having called them, he gave them right standing with himself. And having given them right standing, he gave them his glory.

Pulse Check



Proverbs 4:23-27 (NIV) “Above all else, guard your heart, for everything you do flows from it. Keep your mouth free of perversity; keep corrupt talk far from your lips. Let your eyes look straight ahead; fix your gaze directly before you. Give careful thought to the paths for your feet and be steadfast in all your ways. Do not turn to the right or the left; keep your foot from evil.” 
 
Our hearts soak life like sponges. God’s word says we must guard our hearts and move in faith and purity. There must not creep in any bit of worldly poison. Corruption, perversion and confusion comes from the enemy, to try and steal the vision, joy and love that God provides you to live abundantly now.

Compassion fills every child of God’s heart. This primary blood flow creates a pulse that can be detected by anyone and bring heaven to earth.

The enemy comes to steal the seed God has planted in our hearts. The only way he can rob us is if we open our hearts to be stolen from. When we expose our hearts to the enemy in any way, our life can take another turn. What we do reflects what we have let into our hearts. When the heart is hurt or pressured heavily, it leaks blood that provides life to the believer. We must keep a constant check on our pulse to be sure we are breathing and living as God desires; a believing lie-style, trusting God for His best.

A pulse check is needed regularly! What it does, is it gives us time to slow down, let the heart settle and lead rightly. The Holy Spirit comforts and helps us purely! Immerse yourself fully in the Spirit of the Living God! Your heart will be full. Be careful what you open your heart to, and observe the path your feet are on. Keep our life free from evil, and turn as the Spirit of God leads; don’t settle for less. 

Today, GO into ALL the earth ... with a pulse check and right heart!
