Property Of Jesus

#MorningGlory. RTTBROS
"This Believer is Property Of Christ" we should live out this powerful truth everyday read below as C.H Spurgeon teaches this tremendous truth.

Ye are Christ's."

"Ye are Christ's." You are his by donation, for the Father gave you to the Son; his by his bloody purchase, for he counted down the price for your redemption; his by dedication, for you have consecrated yourself to him; his by relation, for you are named by his name, and made one of his brethren and joint-heirs. Labour practically to show the world that you are the servant, the friend, the bride of Jesus. When tempted to sin, reply, "I cannot do this great wickedness, for I am Christ's." Immortal principles forbid the friend of Christ to sin. When wealth is before you to be won by sin, say that you are Christ's, and touch it not. Are you exposed to difficulties and dangers? Stand fast in the evil day, remembering that you are Christ's. Are you placed where others are sitting down idly, doing nothing? Rise to the work with all your powers; and when the sweat stands upon your brow, and you are tempted to loiter, cry, "No, I cannot stop, for I am Christ's. If I were not purchased by blood, I might be like Issachar, crouching between two burdens; but I am Christ's, and cannot loiter." When the siren song of pleasure would tempt you from the path of right, reply, "Thy music cannot charm me; I am Christ's." When the cause of God invites thee, give thy goods and thyself away, for thou art Christ's. Never belie thy profession. Be thou ever one of those whose manners are Christian, whose speech is like the Nazarene, whose conduct and conversation are so redolent of heaven, that all who see you may know that you are the Saviour's, recognizing in you his features of love and his countenance of holiness. "I am a Roman!" was of old a reason for integrity; far more, then, let it be your argument for holiness, "I am Christ's

Developing The Discipline of a Disciple 1 Cor. 14:40

God is a God of Order. We should be a people whose lives are ordered 

40 Let all things be done decently and in order.  1 Cor 14:40 King James Version (KJV)


When moving from a feeling based life to a faith based life you need to establish new habits. These habits are the daily recommitments to build a structure of faith in your life strong enough to stand the test of the storms. A couple you can start with today.

1. Get up as soon as your alarm goes off. No snooze get a jump on your day. See this day as an opportunity to experience Gods love in a fresh way. Look for his love and grace.

2. Make you bed before going about your other activities.  It will make you feel better and more ordered (God is a God of order and each step we take in that direction is good) plus at the end of a hard day you can think about that freshly made bed as a reward for doing the hard things required of us.

3. Get proper sleep. Build a bed time routine that tells your body it is time to recharge right now. Read your verses out loud before  going to sleep. Write down anything that is rattling around in your brain so you can deal with it tomorrow and get rest tonight.

4. Eat right get less carbs and more protein veggies and unprocessed foods.
That is a good start I will suggest more down the road
