Bewildered #23?-May the Lord be with you?

Have you heard prayers  in this way :

'May the  the Lord be with you wherever you go; May the Lord be with you when you go to the interview'…..and so forth.

This is old covenant mentality.

Let us see what these verses say : 

   

Hebrews 13: 5……. “Never will I leave you; never will I forsake you.

Jn 14:18 : No, I will not abandon you as orphans--I will come to you.

Colossians 2: 8-10 : ⁸ Don’t let anyone capture you with empty philosophies and high-sounding nonsense that come from human thinking and from the spiritual powers^[a] of this world, rather than from Christ. ⁹ For in Christ lives all the fullness of God in a human body.^{[b] 10} So you also are complete through your union with Christ, who is the head over every ruler and authority.

Won’t it be better to pray in this way, for example? : 

'Thank you Lord that I am going to have a very good interview for you are with me as you promised that you will not abandon me as orphan nor forsake me. I  thank you also that the fullness of God dwells in Christ and that I am in Christ, I lack nothing as I am now complete; I do not have to fear for you are the perfect love in me that cast out all fear...........'

This prayer is from a New Covenant mentality of thanks and a faith response to His promises. This prayer is an acknowledgement that we are complete in Him as receipients of His finished work. Christ is always in us. Rejoice.

Bewildered #22 Don't be too spiritually minded?

Have you heard of the expression ‘Do not be too spiritually minded that you are of no earthly use’ in the pulpit when the preacher wants to motivate you to do something?.   

Let us see what the verse below says :

Romans 8:6

For to be carnally minded is death; but to be spiritually minded is life and peace.

This verse implies that the fruit of being spiritually minded is life and peace which I can bring to others on this earth.  I do not want to be so earthly minded that I bring spiritual death to others!   Rejoice

The Jerusalem Council: The Gospel Defined and Defended (Acts 15:1-35) - Bob Deffinbaugh

The issue of mixing of law and the gospel of grace is not  something new that we only find in our contemporary churches; it is as as old as the early church.  Read how the Jerusalem Council resolved this issue  by clicking on the title to read the excellent article by Bob Deffinbaug. 

The decision of the Jerusalem Council will help us understand what the true gospel is so that we are not deceived by counterfeit gospel (mixture of law and grace gospel which Paul called it another gospel that is no gospel at all).  Rejoice
