Your Advocate Always Wins Your Case

Your Advocate Always Wins Your Case
1 John 2:11
My little children, these things I write to you, so that you may not sin. And if anyone sins, we have an Advocate with the Father, Jesus Christ the righteous.


If you want a glimpse of some real-life celestial drama, picture this: God the Father sits as Judge of the universe with Jesus Christ at His right hand, who is not only your High Priest, but also your Advocate.
When your accuser, the devil, comes along and says, “You have done this wrong and you have not done that right,” Jesus says, “Father, the devil is right, but My blood has paid for what the devil is accusing him of.”


Then the devil adds, “You have also not been reading the Bible or praying enough. And this morning, you told a lie.”


Again, Jesus will say, “Father, the devil has indeed reported correctly, but My blood has paid for all these failures.”


God the Father will then slam the gavel on the sound block and say, “Case dismissed! Next!”


You need to understand that God can justly declare you innocent and completely righteous because Jesus took your place at the cross, and shed His blood to pay for your sins and condemnation. (2 Corinthians 5:21) God is simply being faithful and just to what Christ has done.


When Jesus rose from the grave, He rose as your Advocate, your lawyer. But unlike most earthly lawyers who take on cases because it serves their interests and wallets, He is a lawyer who is personally interested in your happiness and well-being. Unlike earthly lawyers who are not caught up in the feelings and sufferings of their clients, Jesus went through great sufferings for you and paid with His own life so that you can receive all the blessings of God.
As your Advocate today, Jesus ensures that what He died and suffered to give you, you get! In heaven today, He defends and represents you to ensure that the healing, wholeness, protection and other blessings that He died to give you are enforced in your life. Beloved, have confidence in and rest in the ability of your Advocate!

A Grateful Heart

I would like to give praise and honor to my Lord and Savior Jesus Christ , for taking my place so I may sit with him at the right hand of the Father, just think we are Righteous because he his righteous,we are holy because he is Holy, what an awesome plan the Father had for our redemption to send his only Son to take the place of All mankind, once we were lost now we are found because he drew us unto himself. there are many things that we can have in our life, if we would just see that all our endeavors to do right, and also think that if we just live a Good life and do right by others then we shall be saved , how many of you have ever told a lie and said to yourself it is only a little lie and God will understand, or if you ever stole something and you thought it is only this, and no way God will be upset, well let me tell you a little story, if a man or women were caught stealing and when confronted they lied and said they never stole but it was caught on camera, then they have to go before the Judge and he says to you ,do you have anything you would like to say before I pass your judgement down on you, and you say to the Judge you seem like a very nice,and honest man could you go easy on me, the Judge then says you are right because I am such honest and fair man it would be wrong of me to not make sure you are punished for your crimes, well in it is the same for God how do you expect a God who is full of integrity to not make you reap that what you Sow, there is no way he will be able to do that he can't, he stands for purity and accepts nothing less from Us , well my friend I am here to tell you that God is a merciful God so if you lay all your life before him open and willing to freely let him be your Savior I promise you that you will not be disappointed . may you be Blessed on the Journey he has for you .God Bless Linda

Don’t Be Dust-Conscious

Luke 13:11



11And behold, there was a woman who had a spirit of infirmity eighteen years, and was bent over and could in no way raise herself up.
Imagine being bowed over for 18 years. All you would see is the dust on the ground. That was the predicament of the woman in Luke 13. Dust was all her eyes fell on, all the time, everywhere she went, until she became dust-conscious. Thank God she finally saw the beautiful feet of Jesus, who brought her good news and raised her up.
Now, dust is the devil’s food. The Bible tells us that God cursed the devil to eat dust all the days of his life. (Genesis 3:14) Dust represents death. (Genesis 3:19) The devil wants you to be like him — to fall flat on your belly, crawl and eat dust. To eat dust is to feed on your shortcomings and lack, until you constantly feel that there is so much in your life that you need to clean up. You may not be physically bowed over, but like the woman, you become dust-conscious and life every day is a struggle.
Having a dust-consciousness also affects the way you see others. You look at people’s faults all the time. You point out their shortcomings and rake up their past failures. When you are dust-conscious, you find your relationships robbed of peace and joy.
And if you, like the woman, keep looking at the dust, before long, that inward position of dust-consciousness becomes so entrenched that you become the devil’s food because dust is what he eats. God’s Word describes him as being like a roaring lion, seeking whom he may devour. (1 Peter 5:8)
If you don’t want to be devoured by him, then lift your eyes above the dust! Instead of looking at your failures, look to Christ who has delivered you from every defeat. See yourself the way God sees you — righteous and holy in Christ. (Colossians 3:12, 2 Corinthians 5:21) You are not dust because you are not in and of the flesh — you are in and of the Spirit. (Romans 8:9)
My friend, the more you realize who you are in Christ, the more you will straighten up and walk the way God sees you — a new creation with His authority, power and overcoming Spirit!

Be Not Weary

Good Afternoon Everyone , I am so Thankful to have a God who truly understands us,  I was at Church last night and I was feeling  a little discouraged , do you ever feel like what you do in life is all for not . you press on and keep pushing and the tasks never seem to end, you try to  pour  in to peoples lives daily and then Bam it hits you , all this sometimes seem to be for nothing,  do the people your pouring into really care at all what you are doing,  and are they receiving any of it . and then I remember how Christ poured  out his Life for us so that we could have eternal Salvation with him , did  he ever got discouraged that everything he was doing never was for not , did he think do they really even care that I am going to be beaten an bruised for them,  hung on a cross and spit at , NO he just hung there for us and that brings encouragement back to me because if he could do ALL that just so I could spend Eternity with him and have the Choice to choose what I want from him whether to believe  or not to believe.then the little bit of discouragement I feel is actually very selfish of me because who am I really thinking about not the People BUT myself and that is not being Christ Like so my Friends if you are feeling down and know the Lord just try to Imagine all that he did for you so you would'nt have to feel the pain and I am sure you will get Encouraged   Galatians 6:9And let us not be weary in well doing: for in due season we shall reap, if we faint not.My friend I pray you may have Blessed week and know that God is there with you in All you go through, God Bless Linda
