Let Jesus Shines in Your Heart Today - Part 645

Shine in our hearts the knowledge of the glory of God in the face of Jesus Christ. For we preach not ourselves but Christ Jesus the Lord. The same God who commanded the light to shine out of darkness in the beginning later took on sin-prone flesh in order that His humanity could die on the cross for our sins. He shed His holy precious blood for you and I so that we might be saved.

"The Lord is not slack concerning His promise, as some men count slackness; but is long-suffering to us-ward, not willing that any should perish, but that all should come to repentance." (II Peter 3:9)

;In II Corinthians chapter 8, Paul is writing to the brethren. He states: "We do you to with of the grace of God on the churches of Macedonia. How that in a great trial of affliction the abundance of their joy and their deep poverty abounds unto the riches of their liberality. For to their power, I bear record, yea, and beyond their power, they were willing of themselves. Praying us with much in-treaty that we would receive the gift and take upon us the fellowship of the ministering to the saints." (II Corinthians 8:1-4)

Paul further writes, "And this they did, not as we hoped, but first gave their own selves to the Lord and unto us by the will of God ... Therefore, as you abound in every thing, in faith and utterance, and knowledge and in all diligence, and in your love to us, see that you abound in this grace also .. For you know the  grace of our Lord Jesus Christ, that though He was rich, yet for your sake(s) He became poor, that you through His poverty might be rich." (II Corinthians 8:5-9)

Now the Lord is that Spirit and where the Spirit of the Lord is, there is liberty. Trust Jesus today. Stand in the offering plate.
