Nothing Can Separate Us

  

"I am persuaded and convinced today without any uncertainty that you are secure in the love of Jesus.  If you have repented and confessed your sins – you have been born again – adopted into the family of God.  If you are walking in obedience to the gentle guidance of the Holy Spirit serving Him as Lord of your heart and life, then you are His child and NOTHING NOTHING NOTHING can separate you from His love!  You can rest in His love.  You can relax in His love.  You can let go and float in His love! You can completely let go of all your fear and worry and concern.  His love is wrapped tightly around you!  His grace will keep you!  His strength will sustain you.  He will KEEP you in His love!  And in that place of trust and faith, you can remain and know that not only will you not be separated from His love, but you will win a resounding victory through that love – you will be more than a conqueror!"

Christ Our Rebar

Connected with the last two sermons, Pastor Rick shares how Christ is our strength, inviting us to stop struggling; stop escaping.  Instead, surrender, relax, let go and let Him display His strength in the midst of your weakness.  Let Him have control of you and your life and your circumstances and discover what Paul discovered when Christ’s rebar strengthens your concrete. 

Pastor Rick also "translated" 2 Corinthians 12:7-10 into his own words to help us understand it.  Here is his elaboration: 

Christ said, “My graciousness of manner and actions, my benefit, favor, joy, liberality, and pleasure is enough for you.  You don’t need anything else.  I will suffice. Because, my miraculous wonderful mighty violent power is made complete and is accomplished in your feebleness of mind and body amid any of your maladies, frailties, diseases or infirmities, or sicknesses.”  Because Christ said this, with great pleasure I would rather boast about and rejoice in my weakness, frailty, feeble mind and body, that the miraculous mighty power and ability of Christ will tent upon me and abide upon me and rest upon me like the ancient Shekinah glory of God rested upon the tabernacle.  Instead of relying upon my own strength, I will rest in His.”
 

Are we relying on our own strength or resting in His?  Is Christ your rebar?
