God Is Responsible For Us

Now the God of peace, that brought again from the dead our Lord Jesus, the great Shepherd of the sheep, through the Blood of the everlasting covenant, Make you perfect in every good work to do His will, working in you that which is well pleasing in His sight, through Jesus Christ; to Whom be glory forever and ever. A-men. Hebrews 13:20-21

We all look to ourselves far too much. If things are good in our lives, then we believe we must be doing something right, and if they are bad, then something wrong. Faith preachers call it faith, others call it living rightly, whatever it’s called, it makes our Father reactionary to our actions. Our Father is right in here with us and He carries the full load, as our Father, our Shepherd, and our Head! Jesus is not our co-pilot. He is our Head and we are His body!

I asked our Father why He keeps saying this over and over to me, and this is what He said, “what can be more peaceful than teaching that He alone holds the responsibility in our success?” Man tries to find God with his own power. So many believe that if we do A, B, and C and then God will be found. The heart does not respond like the hand, the foot like the eye, or the tongue as the kidney. We are members of the body of Christ, all different parts. Our Father comes to us where we are and exactly how we need Him! This needs to be taught. Jesus said that without Him, we could do nothing, John 15:5. If that isn’t taking the responsibility, I don’t know what is? And as Hebrews 13 teaches us: it is Jesus making us perfect and it is Jesus working within us!

So you see, we are light, we are not darkness. We are light because we are in God and His Light has driven out the darkness. Through Jesus we have everything we need. Our bodies that could sin have been destroyed, Romans 6:6. But what if we don’t feel like it has? Let me ask you this, how often do you hear that our bodies of sin have been destroyed? Faith comes from hearing the Truth and the Truth sets us free! Romans 8:1 says there is now therefore no condemnation for those who are in Christ Jesus. There is now no condemnation for us because there is now no darkness in us, because we are now in Christ Jesus! No bragging rights here for us, our light is only because of Jesus, no works on our behalf can make this happen, it is solely based on Jesus and what He has done and offered for us!

A new heart also will I give you, and a new spirit will I put within you: and I will take away the stony heart of your flesh, and I will give you a heart of flesh. And I will put My Spirit within you, and cause you to walk in My statutes, and ye shall keep My judgments, and do them. Ezekiel 36:26 

This is the message that we have heard from Jesus and declare unto you. That God is Light and there is no darkness in Him and we are now in Him!
