Christian humility...

Humility is the God-given state of a believer in Christ. Christians have humility because Christ had humility and gave himself. Christians give themselves as Christ gave himself. Who do Christians give themselves too? They give themselves to God and to humanity. God gives this bond of perfectness. Humility allows the believer to represent Christ in love. Humility does not come from head knowledge or from the human intellect where pride stems from. Humility comes when people recognize who Christ is (now) in the Throne room and what Christ did for each of us personally at Calvary. Glory! Humility is the melted soul, subject to the Christ that forgave us, cleansed us, and put within us a holiness of heart that comes only from God Almighty. Glory! Humility is produced when man realizes he is nothing at the Saviors feet. Humility is the fruit of God manifested in your Christian character and conduct. Humility is shown in the action of a believer in Christ. Humility never shows pride. Humility is birthed when pride is buried. Humility is shown through the surrendered life of a believer in Christ. Humility and meekness does not mean "weakness". Humility only shows the controlled life of a believer. Humility is produced by the power of God. Your temperance (fruit of the Spirit) proves your humility! The world doesn't have humility because they don't have Christ. Glory to the living Christ! He's Exalted! He's exalted! He's exalted! Glory!

P.S...after sending this comment to a sister at ChristianBlog.com I decided to post this comment at the Churches on Trial. May its content Bless you all! Glory to Christ who gives us a state of humility!

We're not ashamed to magnify "Christ" on Christmas Day 2009

Seasons Greetings to all from the Churches on Trial!

Merry Christmas!

It's probably not necessary to preach Christ today (on this Blog) but we never leave Him out of the picture. Christ is the reason for this Blog. Christ is the reason for this ministry. Christ is real to us and when He becomes "real" to you you'll have it made...just like us! As we endeavor to scatter the truth about Christ we thank God for this Blog and for our dear Brother Jimmie Allen who also scatters this truth at... Tangle menofthestreet at the following link.

Many audios of Brother Lindsey and my own sermons as well, are publicized at Brother Jim's site, for the cause of Christ.

Glory to Christ who makes it all possible! God Bless you all this Holiday Season!

Recognizing Christ, minding the Spirit, and allowing the Spirit to have full sway

How blessed we are to have Christ in our hearts and lives... in the midst of our trials and tribulations! Yesterday I was home with the bug, this morning I get the call that my Grandmother passed on to be with Christ.

Life has a different meaning when Christ is in the picture. Glory to Christ, He gets us through our trials and tribulations. Glory to Christ, He comforts us in time of need. Glory to Christ He shows us the way... is His way.

There was a day when Christ wasn't in the picture in our hearts and lives. Today by the Grace of God we can see through a different set of eyes. He wants us to do more than to just recognize Him. He wants us to "mind" His authority and to be subject to His holy presence. By doing such the Holy Spirit is able to show us that Christ wants "full sway" of our hearts and lives.

Full sway is to completely trust and to obey His Holy presence in your life. Full sway is when Christ has full control of your total being. Full sway is when you completely trust Christ for every need of your life.

I'm thankful to Christ that HE owns, controls, and meets every need of Rick Roehm's life. God bless you all. I love you all and appreciate your support through the good times and the bad. Recognize Christ, mind His Holy presence, and allow Him to have "full sway" of your complete being.
