The Abundant Life "No Excuse"

Jesus said that he came that we might have life and have it more abundantly(John 10:10) We are beginning na new blog series entitled "The abundant life" He completely with crystal clarity made his purpose known to us. Its for each of us to live a life to the full until it overflows. However its not going to just come upon us like ripe cherries falling from the trees. We must understand that there is a Godpart and manpart to everything we recieve from God! Hes already done his part. When Jesus was on the cross he said "IT IS FINISHED!" Its NOW totally up to us whether we are with boldness and bravery going to enter into the fullness of whats been purchased and paid for by his precious blood. There is a big difference between the abundant life and eternal life. We recieve eternal life by beliving in our heart that God raised Jesus from the dead and confess with our mouths. When we by faith do that we are made new creatures in Christ Jesus and pass from death to life. However we can be on our way to Heaven and live in Hell until we get there! This is not the will of God in anyway shape form or fashion! In this blog we are going to focus on a very important element of causing us to walk in this abundanlt life NO EXCUSE! In order for us to obtain it, were going have to give up any excuse in our lives. There will always be one that can stand in the way and attempt to hinder and halt. Some say they are to old other say their to young. Others say that they were born on the wrong side of the tracks. In other words there will be an attempted reason why we cant have what God said we can have and BE what he said that we can be. There was such a man in the fift chapter of the book of John. This man was in a condition for thirty eight years. Jesus asked him a question. Do you want to be WHOLE? Another way of saying that could be do you want to live in the abundant life which includes wellness completely and absolutely. The man responded by saying I have no man to put me in the pool(John 5:7) He was using an excuse for staying in the situation. We must understand that its all up to us whether or not were going to have whats been paid for. Proverbs puts it this way Theres a lion in the street and I'll be slain(Prov 22:13) In other words there'll always be a million and one reasons why we could say I could never have healing or I could never have prosperity or restoration. However thats not the word of the LIVING GOD!!! His word is greater than any circumstance or condition. We must get our eyes on Jesus and off of them. We get our eyes on Jesus by getting them on the WORD! Years ago they had a bracelet that said wwjd? I would've liked it if one said WDWS(What Does Word Say?) Jesus would do exactly what he DID! He never changes and is the SAME yesterday today and forever! Lets get rid of excuses because they can be the very baracade and barrier alienating us from the awesome abundant life that belongs to us by inheritence. In the next blog were going to talk about UNDERSTANDING OUR RIGHTEOUSNESS
