Hosanna Restoration Church

All is all. We understand all when we buy a car. We want the want the whole thing. I would not buy a motorcycle with one tire. I could not drive it away without two. We understand all in the natural, but we have issues with applying that to the things of God. Instead of taking it for what it says, we tend to figure out the exceptions to the rule. This is bad for us and for others as well.
Think about it. If an auto dealership had a reputation of cheating people, would you want to go there? If we do not believe all God says and encourage others to believe the same way, we are cheating people. This verse goes on to say, “What we do see is Jesus”! I like that. We need to always see Jesus. When we can’t figure out how we can make it, or what we are going to do; we need to see Jesus. He is the author and finisher of our faith. He is the whole package.
We must make the shift to His way of thinking and being. It is in Him that all things come under the authority of the believer. It is in Him that we can keep standing and trusting. There often breaches in the road to victory. Jesus enables us to leap the breach to the other side. He makes rough roads smooth and crooked roads strait.
The shift comes as we present ourselves Him and allow Him to transform our thinking by the renewing of our minds. The process will require us to learn to break down walls that keep us out of the place of promised victory. We build these walls based on the past experiences and old thinking.
Just because we prayed once and decided God did not answer, a wall goes up. We may have shifted into trust and then along came someone who cautioned us about going too far with the Jesus thing, and another wall goes up.
The greatest miracle of all is our salvation. If we accept the shift from lost to saved, the rest should be simple. Unfortunately, crossing the sea on dry land is easy but we struggle with living in the Promised Land. This chapter begins warning us to listen carefully to the truth we have heard so that we do not drift away from it. Continuing in the truth allows us to grow in the grace and knowledge of our Lord Jesus Christ.
We do not see everything the way it is yet. I see more now than I did when I began, but it was all there before I began. God said it the way He made it. So it is as He said. We need to keep looking till we see it. The shift involves wanting to see it. At any point that we cease to desire what He has promised, we slam the breaks on the break through. Make the shift. Seek the Lord and see if there are walls to knock down or gaps to leap. We must see Jesus!
