Redemption: The Power to Recovery
We all are in some form of recovery. When we hear that term we immediately think of drugs and alcohol. This is for sure the most common form of addiction. The church today needs to accept the fact that recovery is something that everyone needs at some point. Gossip, anger, lust, hate, manipulation, and the list could go on, are destroying the body of Christ at a rapid pace. We all need Redemption, and the power of that redemption is found in the work of the cross, and even more to the point of redemption, it is CHRIST himself. CHRIST: The Power to Recovery.

Soaking up WiFi
I'm sitting at Panera Bread in Jackson, TN. soaking up their free WiFi and enjoying a day off. I am overwhelmed by the call of God that is upon all Christians. The call of the eternal seems be be strong this year. The call to be about our Father's business. We as christians are expected and empowered to do the works of Jesus while it is yet day. What does this work look like?
1. We are called first to seek him and be found in him, always manifesting, "Christ in us". This is more than a mere statement of belief, but a deep searching and finding of that eternal relationship established before the worlds were formed. We must commune with the holy in the present.
2. We are then expected to show forth his glory in the now. This ids more than a statement of belief, but an example of his power among the heathen. Jesus was a friend of sinners. Who are your friends? Are all your acquaintances already christians, if so, do you plan to expand your circle to include sinners. This is the field of the miraculous. The place where it is easier to hear and see what the father is saying and doing.
3. We are to pursue knowledge of the divine through prayer and study. The intake of his word and the fellowship of his spirit are the only weapons needed to quench the fiery darts af the enemy and see victory in the enemies camp. The enemy territory iis to become God's territory. The kingdoms of this world will become...........
Just as I am soaking on some free WiFi.....I must also soak in His free presence.

The Power of the Cross
The whole world is God's desire. He has from eternity past to the present been actively pursuing the hearts of mankind. He has provided redemption and victory to those who will receive the total work of the cross. We have before us the open heaven to be victorious and full of authority over the works of the enemy (satan) We have because of the sinful nature that daily buffets us, and hinders our maturity in Christ, been duped into a lazy and blinded life of non-movement.
It is time that we awake from slumber and arise to be the men and women that God has called and predestined us to be. The time of our manifestation has arrived and we must today step into the "cause" we have been anointed to fulfill. In Matthew Barnett's book, "The cause within" we see that the hurting of the earth are waiting for us to arise and find our cause, and begin to minister to the needs of society. The cause within is powered by the cross of Christ. The redemption of the cross and the power of the Holy Spirit is now calling for our participation in the greatest time in history for God's infiltration into this world.
I challenge you today to wake up and pursue your cause. We are not to be lazy anymore, but to put on Christ, release the Christ within and become the sons of God.
