In my last writing, I shared three statements I'd written down in my prayer journal. Though I'd written an earlier piece for today, I felt impressed to save it for another time. I was drawn back to all those journal statements. As I went over them, three "spoke" more loudly than the rest. I share them with you today.

Three More

Shared Thoughts
They are not of the world, just as I am not of the world. Sanctify them by the truth; Your word is truth. You sent Me into the world, I have also sent them into the world.… John 17:16-18

Champion
We do this by keeping our eyes on Jesus, the champion who initiates and perfects our faith. Because of the joy awaiting him, he endured the cross, disregarding its shame. Now he is seated in the place of honor beside God’s throne. Hebrews 12:2..."Be assured, if you walk with Him, look to Him, and expect help from Him, He will never fail you." George Muller

What?
"Jesus said to her, 'I am the resurrection and the life. Whoever believe in Me will live, even though he dies. And everyone who lives and believes in Me will never die. Do you believe this?' " John 11: 25-26

Cheap Grace
For if the many died by the trespass of the one man, how much more did God’s grace and the gift that came by the grace of the one man, Jesus Christ, overflow to the many! Romans 15:5....."Cheap grace is the preaching of forgiveness without repentance, baptism without church discipline, and communion without confession......The word of cheap grace has ruined more Christians than any command about works." Dietrich Bonhoeffer

Heart Dwellers
Abide in Me, and I in you. As the branch cannot bear fruit of itself, unless it abides in the vine, neither can you, unless you abide in Me. "I am the vine, you are the branches. He who abides in Me, and I in him, bears much fruit; for without Me you can do nothing. John 15: 4-5

Invasion
May you experience the love of Christ, though it is too great to understand fully. Then you will be made complete with all the fullness of life and power that comes from God." Ephesians 3:19....."The Holy Spirit cannot be located as a guest in a house. He invades everything....Jesus came to give us endless supplies of life." Oswald Chambers

Called Out
"But you are a chosen race, a royal priesthood, a holy nation, a people for God's own possession, that you may proclaim the excellencies of Him who has called you out of darkness into His marvelous light;" (1 Peter 2:9).

The Way
Jesus answered, “I am the way and the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father except through Me." John 14:6 "What does it matter if we travel uncharted country if we're with the Way?" Vance Havner

Now I say to you that you are Peter (which means ‘rock’), and upon this rock I will build my church, and all the powers of hell will not conquer it. Matthew 16:18

Breathe
Then he said to me, “Speak a prophetic message to the winds, son of man. Speak a prophetic message and say, ‘This is what the Sovereign LORD says: Come, O breath, from the four winds! Breathe into these dead bodies so they may live again.’” Ezekiel 37:9 "We are trying to blow inspiration into the church. We are trying to draw out what is not in them.....We cannot exhale what we've not inhaled." Vance Havner
