NO MORE!

"Walking out my salvation!"

SCRIPTURE
Luke 6:19-21 You're blessed when you've lost it all. God's kingdom is there for the finding. You're blessed when you're ravenously hungry. Then you're ready for the Messianic meal. You're blessed when the tears flow freely. Joy comes with the morning.
Luke 6:27-30 To you who are ready for the truth, I say this: Love your enemies. Let them bring out the best in you, not the worst. When someone gives you a hard time, respond with the energies of prayer for that person. If someone slaps you in the face, stand there and take it. If someone grabs your shirt, gift wrap your best coat and make a present of it. If someone takes unfair advantage of you, use the occasion to practice the servant life. No more tit-for-tat stuff. Live generously.

Luke 6:31-34 "Here is a simple rule of thumb for behavior: Ask yourself what you want people to do for you; then grab the initiative and do it for them! If you only love the lovable, do you expect a pat on the back? Run-of-the-mill sinners do that. If you only help those who help you, do you expect a medal? Garden-variety sinners do that. If you only give for what you hope to get out of it, do you think that's charity? The stingiest of pawnbrokers does that.

Luke 6:35-36 "I tell you, love your enemies. Help and give without expecting a return. You'll never—I promise—regret it. Live out this God-created identity the way our Father lives toward us, generously and graciously, even when we're at our worst. Our Father is kind; you be kind.

Luke 6:37-38 "Don't pick on people, jump on their failures, criticize their faults— unless, of course, you want the same treatment. Don't condemn those who are down; that hardness can boomerang. Be easy on people; you'll find life a lot easier. Give away your life; you'll find life given back, but not merely given back—given back with bonus and blessing. Giving, not getting, is the way. Generosity begets generosity."

OBSERVATION
WAKE UP MYSELF!!! God is calling me to be more than what I've been - living a life pleasing Him in ALL areas! Don't criticize, unless (off course) I want to be criticized. Don't jump on others failures unless I want others to jump on mine. Don't pick on people unless I want to be picked on! Give away my life!! Giving not getting is His way and that means it's MY WAY! Generosity begets generosity!!! He's been SO generous to me, I'll be generous to others!!!!

APPLICATION
Put a cork in my mouth and my thoughts give it to him!!! WAKE UP FOREVER!!! This is done with, no more turning around!! Living my faith is His calling!!

PRAYER
Lord, I ask forgiveness! I ask that Holy Spirit You would wake up my spirit to Yours, to Your ways!!! No more half heartedness, reading scripture and forget what You showed me. Help me to walk this THROUGH and THROUGH and THROUGH!!! I need a heart change, a behavior change. I need to act like you do. When I get frustrated with others, teach me to walk the way You do. Help me to not sin in my frustration, but to be aligned with the answer! In the Name of Jesus Christ, Amen.
