The word that comes to mind is saturation. It will seep into every part of your body and fill you to the point of overflow. That overflow is what will bless all around you…
Luke 13:18-21
18 Then Jesus asked, “What is the kingdom of God like? What shall I compare it to? 19 It is like a mustard seed, which a man took and planted in his garden. It grew and became a tree, and the birds perched in its branches.”
20 Again he asked, “What shall I compare the kingdom of God to? 21 It is like yeast that a woman took and mixed into about sixty pounds[a] of flour until it worked all through the dough.”
The emphasis in these verses is squarely on FAITH. What does faith look like to you? Somebody praying on street corner shouting their love for Jesus? Perhaps its a person that took a vow of silence and lives as a monk. Is it a child praying with arms raised? Is it a senior citizen, making their way up to the alter at church to pray?
The truth is…it is all of these and more. We cannot qualify faith with our eyes. Salvation is sovereign. It requires not justification to any man or woman. It requires not one ounce of work on your part. As a matter of fact, God cannot even see your sin. Jesus covered it with His blood. Amen. Forever putting to rest the idea that you can somehow lose your salvation, or fall from grace. If you fall from grace, it is a personal choice to do so. And while you think you have fallen, the Holy Spirit is right next to you, cradling you in His arms like a new born. He has you.
Saturation. It will flow through your veins and spark REPENTANCE. Oh. Wait a minute. There’s that word again. Remember…It is not what you thought it was. Repentance only means change. So, what do you change? Start with keeping your focus on the what Jesus did. If you feel bad for something you did, then Jesus did nothing for you. And that is so not true. He gave His life for you. He bled for you. He saved you. He loves you.
Let it go and believe. Finally. Tonight. Right now. Amen.
