Work Out The Change

“So, my dear brothers and sisters, be strong and immovable. Always work enthusiastically for the Lord, for you know that nothing you do for the Lord is ever useless.” 

1 CORINTHIANS 15:58

The Lord asks you to do things for him - for the edification of building faith within yourself - so that his purpose will be realized in you and you will be up to the task of the Lord at the appointed time you are called. Faith is to be worked out in the natural life of being obedient. We are people - not God. There is only one God - and he has the power to do what he says he will. We must work our faith out in the mundane - ordinary aspects of simple obedience for the next level of spiritual growth to occur. 

We are just children to the Lord and the first thing we must be is willing to be obedient to him. Without obedience there is no progress. Without faith there can be no obedience. Jesus is the power and his Holy Spirit dwells within those that choose him and are faithful and obedient disciples for him. We are not called to be perfect - he is perfect.  

King Jesus - the physical man and body of God is in heaven and will not come back until his appointed time. Until he returns in the physical - we have complete access to him through his Holy Spirit. So again, Jesus Christ is alive - His Holy Spirit is here right now, and he is coming soon.
