Don't Get A Hard Heart!

Hebrews 6:4-6 (Amplified Bible)4For it is impossible [to restore and bring again to repentance] those who have been once for all enlightened, who have consciously tasted the heavenly gift and have become sharers of the Holy Spirit, 5And have felt how good the Word of God is and the mighty powers of the age and world to come, 6If they then deviate from the faith and turn away from their allegiance--[it is impossible] to bring them back to repentance, for (because, while, as long as) they nail upon the cross the Son of God afresh [as far as they are concerned] and are holding [Him] up to contempt and shame and public disgrace.

God is merciful. That is so true.

But, there does come a point where we can push His mercy away.

This happens the exact opposite way most religious folks think. Many believe when one sins they have fallen from Grace.

"Oh, preacher Bob got caught in sin. He has fallen from Grace."

That is not true. In fact, that is when we need Grace the most. When we sin we must go boldly to the throne room of Grace by faith. It is faith that keeps us in Grace.

But, it is unbelief that rejects the Grace of God. When we choose religion, works or just deny the Cross we step out of Grace and mercy and into a world of hurt.

The more we reject truth the more our heart hardens to truth.

Look how many people reject the Biblical truth of healing or the gifts of the Holy Spirit due to tradition or denominationalism. Their heart grows hard to these truths to the point they will fight you over it.

Well, thank God you can be saved and not receive those truths. But, those that reject salvation through the finished work of Christ only are not saved. The more they reject the truth the harder their heart will get until there is a point of no return.

A hardened heart rejects mercy and ends in destruction. Just ask Pharaoh.

Whatcha Gonna Do??

Hebrews 5:14-15 (New King James Version)14 But solid food belongs to those who are of full age, that is, those who by reason of use have their senses exercised to discern both good and evil.

God doesn't want us to stay little babies always having to run to the preacher to pray for us or spiritually burp us.

He wants us to grow up in Christ and stand against the devil in Christ as mature believers.

How does a natural baby grow? Well, the baby starts off on baby food and as his body is able to take it more "grown up" food is given to him. Also, exercise of the body is important to the baby's development into adolescent and then into adulthood.

The baby, as he grows becomes less dependant upon others and as he matures and strengthens he is able to stand on his own.

Spiritually we grow by feeding on spiritual food and exercise too. We feed our spirits by reading the Word and we exercise our spirit by acting on the Word. In other words we mature by feeding on the Word and acting on the Word.

If we will intake a steady diet of the word and exercise our faith we will grow into spiritual Hulk Hogans!

Devil, what you gonna do when God's kids come after you???

Stir Up Your Faith!

Hebrews 5:10-11 (Amplified Bible)10Being [a]designated and recognized and saluted by God as High Priest after the order (with [b]the rank) of Melchizedek.(A) 11Concerning this we have much to say which is hard to explain, since you have become dull in your [spiritual] hearing and sluggish [even [c]slothful in achieving spiritual insight].

Don't ever stop growing in the Word of God.

Salvation is great. It is the greatest gift a sinner can receive. But once you are saved there is a smorgasbord of benefits available to the believer. The problem is to many Christians are uninterested due to denominationalism, tradition or fear that the Bible might contradict their long held beliefs.

Don't be dull of hearing. Search the scriptures.

"But, Mace I am fine where I am. If God wants me to know about the Gifts of the Spirit, prosperity, or healing He will reveal it to me."

Friend, He does and has. Every benefit for the believer is found in the Bible. It is up to you to study it out.

God has also placed anointed teachers in the Body and it is up to you spend time listening to teaching tapes and reading anointed books.

"I don't need a teacher."

Well, according to the Word of God it is He who placed teachers in the Body. I assume He felt it was necessary or He would not have done it.

Stir up you faith and passion for the Word of God. Find out what you have in Christ and who you are In Christ. Your faith life will grow leaps and bounds.

REST II

Hebrews 4:3-10 (New Living Translation)3 For only we who believe can enter his rest. As for the others, God said, “In my anger I took an oath: ‘They will never enter my place of rest,’”[a] even though this rest has been ready since he made the world. 4 We know it is ready because of the place in the Scriptures where it mentions the seventh day: “On the seventh day God rested from all his work.”[b] 5 But in the other passage God said, “They will never enter my place of rest.”[c] 6 So God’s rest is there for people to enter, but those who first heard this good news failed to enter because they disobeyed God. 7 So God set another time for entering his rest, and that time is today. God announced this through David much later in the words already quoted: “Today when you hear his voice, don’t harden your hearts.”[d] 8 Now if Joshua had succeeded in giving them this rest, God would not have spoken about another day of rest still to come. 9 So there is a special rest[e] still waiting for the people of God. 10 For all who have entered into God’s rest have rested from their labors, just as God did after creating the world.

Doesn't it feel good after a hard workout to just sit down and rest?

The thing is that many of us are working hard, having no rest and there is absolutely no reason for it. We seem to think that if we wear ourselves out with religious activity we will have victory in this life over the devil and then we will appropriate the blessings of God.

Friend, that is not true.

We have victory over the devil and receive all the blessings of God not by doing diddly squat. We get it by doing nothing but placing our faith in the finished work of Christ.

You see, Jesus is seated at the right hand of the Father because His work is done. He is at rest.

You and I, if our faith is in the finished work of Christ, are seated with Him in the eyes of God. We are at rest. We have His rest.

We don't have to try to be blessed because we are blessed.

So, let the blessed enter into His rest.
