trust me

Ann Burns said this morning, "If we Christians would just do what john 14 says.."  So I decided to make a list.

      Jesus said in John 14:

1. Don't be troubled
2. Trust God, Trust me
3. Know:  a. He went to prepare a place for ME!  b. Jesus is THE WAY to get to the prepared place
4. Jesus and Father God are ONE
5. I have done Miracles and you(me-I) will do them and even bigger miracles
6. We can ask anything in Jesus name and HE WILL DO IT!
7. Obey my commandments ---a. love God above all else  b. love your neighbor as yourself
8. Receive the Holy Spirit--who will teach you(me)everything and remind us of Jesus words
9. I leave you with peace--DO NOT FEAR!
10. Know:  Jesus said he would-he did-so believe in HIM!

   Sounds like the Ten Commandments of FAITH.  Really, faith is the only gift we have to give God.  Faith was the only way Abraham found approval with God.  Faith in Jesus is our ONLY WAY to Father God.

rights of the believer V

Peace is our right. John 14:27 “I am leaving you with a gift—peace of mind and heart. And the peace I give is a gift the world cannot give. So don’t be troubled or afraid."

We have the right to remain in peace even in the midst of chaos. I woke up one day this week and this is what I heard---"If you keep the Love OF God always foremost in your thoughts, then you can be in peace even in the midst of chaos." Christ is the Love of God. We can never be more loved that we were when Christ was on the Cross. We cannot make Him un-love us. It is done. It is when we bring or the enemy brings into our mind thoughts of OUR deeds that we start self condemnation and get ourselves out of faith and into fear and out of peace. Isaiah says that our deeds are as "filthy rags". If we do anything good or bad out of ourselves and not by The Father--those deeds are filthy rags. If you want to know just how bad God thinks OUR works are just research what the Hebrew meaning is for filthy rags.

I want to remain in Christ and receive His Peace. I just want to be where He wants me to be. I want to have Him lead me to where I need to be. I want his rest---be blessed---c
