 God asked the prophet to ‘stand in the gap’. (Ezekiel 22:30) God was asking for someone to step up to the edge of the earth, so to speak, and call out to heaven for the people. God was looking for that person to advocate for the salvation of the people, of their city, of their souls. Are you in the gap – between man and God – for the salvation of people?
God is the answer, and Jesus Christ is His ‘door’. Jesus said, ‘I am the door, and anyone who enters through me will be saved.’ (John 10:9) Jesus taught us that if we repent of our sin (turn our back on it), and put our faith in Jesus for ‘forgiveness’, we will be saved. We will literally (not metaphorically or poetically) move into a new place in that moment of faith. We will ‘cross over from death to life.’ (John 5:24) We will step off the grid of ‘mortality’ into ‘immortality’. (2 Timothy 1:10) We will be standing in a safe place, now and forevermore. Have you stepped into the ‘life that is truly life’? (1 Tim 6:19) Now, once we are in that space, in relationship with God through Jesus Christ, we can – and must – interface with God on behalf of others. We must ‘stand in the gap’ and ask God to bring his revelation of Jesus Christ to more people. We can stand and ‘pray’, and name those we love, and name those places we know, and those lands that need healing, and ask God, in the name of Jesus Christ, to pour out light and revelation of his gospel message – ‘the power of God for salvation.’ (Rm 1:16) Are you standing in the gap for this hurting world? What an incredible life mission! ‘I looked for someone among them who would build up the wall and stand before me in the gap on behalf of the land so I would not have to destroy it, but I found no one.’ (Ezekiel 22:30) For more on ‘First Steps’ with Jesus Christ, please visit: https://1peter1three.weebly.com/first-steps.html

 God’s Kingdom, is your Kingdom! It’s in the process of being built by God, and we’re supposed to be building it, too! This is your true home, your true future, your true inheritance. This is your only real post-retirement plan!:)
First, how do we become part of this Kingdom? Well, Jesus himself said: ‘I am the door, and anyone who enters through me will be saved.’ (John 10:9) We access the Kingdom of God, by passing through the ‘door’ of Jesus Christ. We do this by turning our back on our sin (repentance), and declaring with our mouths (out loud), ‘Jesus is Lord.’ (Romans 10:9) Have you repented of your sin, and put your faith in Jesus Christ? When we enter into the Kingdom of God through faith in Jesus Christ, we are now ‘co-laborers’ with God in building this eternal place. (1 Cor 3:9) We live here on earth, but we now live to build our eternal dwelling, a Kingdom that will never end. Now that’s a worthwhile investment! This is serious business, my friends. As builders, we are called by God to build. In fact, we are told that one day, when we stand before God, ‘our work will be shown for what it is.’ (1 Cor 3:13) This is also exciting news, a true mission here on earth as the ultimate goal of all we do. So many people are looking for purpose; well, here it is! We are called to pray, and live, ‘Your Kingdom come, your will be done, on earth…’ (Mt 6:9-13) If you are not yet clear on how to build on the ‘foundation of Jesus Christ’ (1 Cor 3:11), pray and ask the Lord to show you your station, your post. It is not easy to get a career here on earth, and it is not easy to really see and know our building post in the Kingdom of God. We need to ‘seek God with all our heart’, if we want that kind of treasure! (Jer 29;13) So, lift your eyes today, and ask God to take you deeper in your walk with Jesus, and show you your role here on earth, in building the Kingdom of God.

The person you are naturally, the ‘self’ you’re ‘feeling’, is not the truest you. The true you is called forth, breathed forth, spoken over you by your Creator. And you step into this ‘true you’, by faith. Your friends might say you’re this or that person. Your own heart might speak a message over you. Your mind. Your actions. Your past. Your guilt. All these things ‘report’ on who you are. But it is Jesus Christ, who ‘ransomed you with his blood’, that defines the ‘true you’. (1 Pe 1:18-19) You can step into your true self in this way: step through the ‘door’ of Jesus Christ. ‘Jesus said, ‘I am the door, and anyone who comes through me will be saved.’ (John 10:9) If you turn towards Christ today, and allow Him to embrace you, you will be in the arms of God. You will be standing in the very Spirit of Truth, and it is here that your ‘Faith You’ will find its footing, now and forevermore. Jesus said, ‘Everyone on the side of truth listens to me.’ (John 18:37) My friend, to access the very soul of your truest self, you need to stand in the very Spirit of God Himself, which is Jesus Christ. Look to him, and go through the door today! For more on taking ‘First Steps’ of faith in Jesus, please visit: https://1peter1three.weebly.com/first-steps.html |
