Be Conscious of The Supply
“For if by the trespass of the one, death reigned through the one; so much more will those who receive the abundance of grace and of the gift of righteousness reign in life through the one, Jesus Christ.” (Romans 5:17 WEB)
Is death reigning, or is life reigning, in your life?
The strategy to enjoy a blessed life is so simple, but many of us just don’t do it.
If you are constantly worried, fearful, and pessimistic about your future, it simply means that you have not been consistently receiving the Gospel. One way to describe the Gospel would be “the abundance of grace and of the gift of righteousness”.
Instead, the world’s words and pictures based on wrong beliefs have filled your heart, producing forms of death.
We need to hear about the abundance of grace and the gift of righteousness because the enemy wants us to feel lacking and vulnerable. One way he advances his goal is by broadcasting bad news designed to instill fear and worry.
“in which you once walked according to the course of this world, according to the prince of the power of the air, the spirit who now works in the children of disobedience;” (Ephesians 2:2 WEB)
The apostle Paul called the devil “the prince of the power of the air”. This means that he has power over the airwaves. Besides weather manipulation, the devil also attacks by releasing words (essentially frequencies of vibrations in the air). We know that he is a liar, and he can be quite convincing at times.
Are you more conscious of the many demands upon you, or are you more conscious of the supply that is freely available to you by faith?
God’s grace is His unmerited favor towards you, when He gives you good things that you did not deserve by your own works.
If they are gifts for you, then who paid the cost? Jesus paid not with corrupt, perishable things like money. He paid with His own divine blood (the life of the flesh is in the blood).
He bled and literally gave His life—the life of God, for you.
I once shared in a short video teaching that the Hebrew letters for the word “Amen” are aleph (God/ sacrificial animal), mem (water flowing down like a waterfall), and nun (offspring/child).
They form a picture of blessings pouring down upon you like a waterfall, from Jesus the sacrificial Lamb at the cross, to you who are now God’s beloved child.
Every time you say “Amen”, picture the blood-bought blessings flowing from Jesus at the cross, to you. It is like making a withdrawal from your heavenly bank account.
The Lord is your Shepherd. He laid down His life for you, and you will not lack in any way because He is your inexhaustible supply!
Are you under spiritual attack from the enemy? This is not an area that you have to fear or be ignorant about. The Bible teaches us about the powerful spiritual weapons we have in Christ.
If you have a long-time bondage or addiction, you can be set free when you know the truth of how all this works. I compiled the book “Silencing the Serpent” for these reasons and more. Get it here: https://bit.ly/silence-the-serpent-now
bad liar 在 [MV] Imagine Dragons - Bad Liar - 看板WesternMusic 的推薦與評價
MV連結:
https://youtu.be/I-QfPUz1es8
這首歌是當時一推出我就馬上愛上的一首歌
前陣子出了歌詞版，現在終於釋出MV了。
這支MV一開始看不太懂，後來看了底下的留言才算大致抓到了MV想要表達的意思。
MV和歌詞的意境有契合，在隱喻著Dan Reynolds的婚姻關係
儘管彼此之間仍然有感情，也很盡力想要討對方歡心
然而，他們卻無法隱瞞他們感情之間的裂痕。
因為另一方對彼此來說就像是魁儡，只是互相受到對方的控制而已
就像是MV中的舞者(各自的角度)和懸空的男生(意指魁儡)一樣
就算自己再努力，對方仍然毫無反應，直到最後無法繼續欺騙自己
因為都是"Bad Liar"，所以只能選擇離去，好讓雙方都能解脫(最後男生落地，舞者轉身
離開)。
我覺得這支MV算是一支後勁很強的MV，歌曲本身也很好聽，是他們這一張專輯"Origin"中
我最喜歡的一首!
