OMBS7/ Thank You Lord

PRAYER - "We Seek To Be Justified" Paul contrasted the difference between the Law and Grace. He had an impeccable education in the Law by Gamaliel, the great Hebrew scholar. He was tutored in Grace by revelation of Jesus Christ. Paul knew that keeping the Law cannot save you; but neither does Grace allow you to continue in sin. Seek to be justified. Turn from sin. Galatians 2:17 - "If, while we seek to be justified by Christ, we ourselves also are found sinners, is therefore Christ the minister of sin? God forbid. For if I build again the things which I destroyed, I make myself a transgressor." PRINCIPAL - "This Body Is The Seed For The Body That Shall Be" We will be resurrected from the dead, and will spend eternity either in Heaven or Hell. "How are the dead raised up? and with what body do they come?" The mortal body will perish forever. Saints will rise with new, immortal bodies. 1 Corinthians 15:36-38 - "That which thou sowest is not quickened, except it die: And that which thou sowest, thou sowest not that body that shall be, but bare grain, it may chance of wheat, or of some other grain: But God giveth it a body as it hath pleased him, and to every seed his own body." PRINCIPLE - "Having And Showing Love Exceeds All Other Virtues" According to these verses, having love is more important than speaking like an angel, understanding all mysteries, or having all knowledge and all faith. Having love is more important than being able to move a mountain, or giving everything to feed the poor, or even giving my body to be burned. The grand conclusion is that love is more important than all other virtues. What is love? A choice to do the highest good for someone. Love creates a bond of perfectness - perfect glue. Love holds everything together.  1 Corinthians 13:3 - "[If I] have not charity, it profiteth me nothing." PROPHECY - "The Gift Of Healing" There is no natural, inherent human ability to indiscriminately heal anybody, anywhere at anytime. Only by a supernatural gift can any man lay hands on the sick and they recover. Otherwise, it is inexplicable. With that awesome gift, a believer may lay hands, anoint with oil, or merely speak the word in the name of Jesus, and blind eyes see, deaf ears hear, the lame walks, and diseases disappear. You will never explain it, but have no doubt - it is real! It has happened for countless multitudes.  1 Corinthians 12:9 - "...to another the gifts of healing by the same Spirit." Thank You, Lord

In every thing give thanks: for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus concerning you. - 1 Thessalonians 5:18

Notice that this scripture instructs us to give thanks in all things, not for all things. When tragedy or temptation strikes, we are not to thank God for them. He is not their author. He's the One who provides our way of escape from them. And that's what we're to thank Him for. If you read the four Gospels, you'll find that Jesus never gave thanks for sickness or death. Instead, when He encountered them, His response was to overcome them by God's power. So give thanks as Jesus gave thanks—not for Satan's activities but for the victory God has given you over them.
