Download or read book Stumbling Toward Obedience written by David R. Hawkins and published by WestBow Press. This book was released on 2013-07 with total page 131 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Jesus demonstrated complete submission to the Father's will to the point of His confident assertion, "I always do those things that please My Father" (John 8:29). He gave Himself in humility at Calvary to satisfy God's wrath against all sin, as well as all sinners, and declared from the cross, "It is finished." He then experienced death but rose in victory over death, thus proving His claims to divinity and giving to all His spiritual descendants resurrection power for daily living. So what is to be our response to all Christ Jesus is and all that He has suffered and accomplished on our behalf? What should be our life's focus, our objective, our agenda, and our passion? Obedience to the things our Lord and Savior has commanded. Obedience is our duty, to be sure, but it is more than that. It is the way we express our thanksgiving for what Christ has done for us. It is gratefulness lived out on a daily basis. This kind of living involves a consistent orientation toward laying aside personal or selfish desires and agendas that bring us temporal gratification. Instead, we embrace what Jesus Christ tells us to do: to proclaim the gospel of hope to those who know it not. This is the highest expression of gratefulness from a life made new by the living Lord. Your culture, your communities, your friends, your co-workers, and your family members need to hear a word from God. You and I are the delivery persons for God's message. We are the spokespersons for the gospel of Jesus Christ! We are the ones to whom God has said, "Arise, go to Nineveh." Our Nineveh, dear people of God, is the lost people around us.

Download or read book The School of Obedience written by Andrew Murray and published by Aneko Press. This book was released on 2019-04-01 with total page 132 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: If ye keep my commandments, ye shall abide in my love, even as I have kept my Father’s commandments and abide in his love. – John 15:10 God will not honor the person who is not obedient. For us to have favor with God, obedience is of utmost importance. To obey is better than sacrifice (1 Samuel 15:22). This is evident from the very beginning of the Bible to the very end: Blessed are they that do His commandments, that they may have a right to the tree of life (Revelation 22:14). From Paradise lost to Paradise regained, the necessity for obedience remains the same. It is only obedience that restores access to the tree of life and favor with God. While the original disobedience was the cause of humanity's fall, through the obedience of Christ to the Father, and through our obedience to Christ, we can once again be restored. Although he was the Son of God, yet he learned obedience by the things which he suffered; and being made perfect, he became the author of eternal saving health unto all those that hearken unto him (Hebrews 5:8-9). Let this study awaken in you an earnest desire to fully know God’s will concerning this truth. Let us unite in praying that the Holy Spirit will show us how defective the Christian’s life is in which obedience does not rule everything. Let us desire to learn how that life can be exchanged for one of full surrender to absolute obedience, and how certain it is that God, through Christ, will enable us to live it out.

Download or read book The Purpose of Obedience written by Laura May Wehry and published by Christian Faith Publishing, Inc.. This book was released on 2019-12-04 with total page 35 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book was written to encourage the reader who has that specific question: "Why do I have to be obedient?" In our world today, we have battled with this word obedience and have often believed that we are in a most vulnerable position by being obedient. I grew up in the sixties, believe me, I know the talk and walked that walk. I will make my own way, thank you, and I do not need you to tell me different or so I thought; and I was already confused about what the man was saying about who I am to be. I pray that you have found that this was a lie then, and you also have questions about the why of obedience, and my greatest hope is that you have already begun this search for the answer as to why God says that he wants our obedience. Please read this small basic book that comes from my heart and the love that God has shared with me and accept that the purpose of obedience is the good news, and we are not more vulnerable but more than conquerors in this great journey of obedience. God blesses you.

Wrong choices can keep our lives in turmoil and nothing will seem to ever go right. This journey through my years of raising my children and growing up will help you too as you share my stones. Some stones will seem rough, others smooth and then there are those stones which will bring hard changes in your life. But if you throw down your stones, God will begin a work in your life to help you be who you were called to be. There were times I felt like I was being stoned. Then other times I could find rest and peace in receiving these stones.
