‘I Feel the Presence of The Lord’  

"I Feel The Presence of The Lord" is a personal collection of devotions intended to encourage the reader to seek and see the Lord in every aspect of their life.
The enemy of our souls would have us subscribe to the mentality of being endlessly busy, and therefore it being excusable to relegate God to a Sunday morning church service, if that. Thus, many in our churches today are powerless Christians and/or Christians in whom faith and fellowship with God is sorely wanting.
I Feel The Presence of The Lord is not just a book to be read as part of our daily devotions. It is a collection of thoughts and instructions to inspire the reader to meditate upon the Lord and His Word.

The One Thing Jesus Did – Sunday Thought For The Day

December 21, 2024

There is a word associated with an action relative to the birth of the Christ Child that we cannot escape if we are to truly accept Christ as our Savior, and if we are truthfully committed to walking with Jesus.

The word is “surrender.”  In Philippians 2:6 (KJV) the apostle Paul writes: “Who being in the form of God, thought it not robbery to be equal with God.” In v. 7, we read that Jesus: “…made of Himself of no reputation, and took upon Him the form of a servant and was made in the likeness of of men.

The short version of the point I make, is that in order for us to have forgiveness of sin and thereby receive salvation, Jesus had to “empty Himself, i.e., divest Himself of His visible glory.  He “surrendered” Himself so we could have the only sacrifice God could accept as payment for our sins.  Accordingly, we must surrender ourselves to become born again, i.e., to be saved from eternal damnation as the penalty for our sins.

If we are saved, we cannot continue to be the same person we were before we came to Christ for salvation.  We must surrender the old self.  As I pointed out; Jesus emptied Himself and surrendered His visible glory, and took upon Himself the form of a servant…made in the likeness of men;” so that by doing same he could become the Lamb of God without spot or blemish, i.e., be the sinless sacrifice that God would accept as payment for our sins.

With the thought of His sacrifice for us, why is so difficult for so many to surrender their sinful lives through faith in Christ and belief in who He is and what He did for us, so that by doing so we we can spend eternity with Him in heaven?

READ:

Philippians 2:6-8 (KJV)

6 Who, being in the form of God, thought it not robbery to be equal with God:

7 But made himself of no reputation, and took upon him the form of a servant, and was made in the likeness of men:

8 And being found in fashion as a man, he humbled himself, and became obedient unto death, even the death of the cross.
