.DONOT DELIBERATELY INTERPRETE THE WORD OF GOD TO SUIT YOUR WAY OF LIFE.....Now unto Him that is able to keep you from falling, and to present you faultless before the presence of His glory with exceeding joy, to the only wise God our Savior, be glory and majesty, dominion and power, both now and ever. Amen..JUDE 24-25...BRTHREN, WE ALL KNOW THAT OUR GOD IS ABLE TO DO ALL THINGS. BUT WHAT WE CANNOT SHY AWAY FROM IS THIS - THAT THE SAME GOD IS ONLY ABLE TO DO THINGS IN OUR INDIVIDUAL AND CORPORATE LIVES TO THE EXTENT THAT WE ALLOW HIM TO - TO THE EXTENT THAT WE ARE READY TO ALLOW HIM DO IT - TO THE EXTENT THAT WE BE READY TO YIELD TO ALL HIS CONDITIONS FOR SUCH. FOR INSTANCE, WE KNOW THAT BY THE STRIPES OF JESUS CHRIST EVERY BELIEVER WERE MADE WHOLE. BUT SOME OF US ARE SICK AND DYING WHEN CHRIST IS ABLE TO HEAL US. IS IT NOT EVEN TRUE THAT CHRIST BECAME POOR THAT WE THROUGH HIS POVERTY MAY BE RICH; YET MANY ARE POOR EVEN IN THE BODY OF THE SAME CHRIST. THE ABILITY OF CHRIST TO HEAL HIS PEOPLE AND EVEN MAKE HIS PEOPLE RICH IS NOT DOUBT, BUT IT IS THE RESPONSIBILTY OF WHOEVER MUST WALK IN THESE BENEFITS TO EXERCISE THE NECESSARY FAITH, WALK IN THE REALITY OF THAT FAITH, AND OBTAIN THESE PROMISES. KNOW IT THIS DAY THEREFORE, THAT THE VERY FACT THAT THE SCRIPTURES SAY CHRIST IS ABLE TO KEEP US FROM FALLING AND EVEN PRESENT US FAULTLESS BEFORE HIS FATHER, EVEN OUR FATHER, WILL NOT AVAIL WHOEVER HAS NOT EMBRACED AND WORKED OUT THE CONDITIONS FOR SUCH. FOR THE ABILITIES OF GOD TO AVAIL US, WE MUST OF NECESSITY YIELD TO WHATEVER HE DEMANDS OF US - AND IN THIS CASE, HIS DEMAND IS SIMPLE - THAT WE WALK IN THE TRUTH AND REALITY OF HIS WORD. WHEN WE LIVE AND WALK OUTSIDE THE WILL OF GOD, HIS ABILITY TO DO ANYTHING WHATSOEVER IN US IS RESTRAINED BY US.
