Irrevocable Gifts & Calling!

Welcome to Breakthroughs in Life!

Friends, it pays to note that while acknowledgment and recognition of past performances and relative successes count to show and confirm who you've been and what you've become, IT IS YOUR CURRENT STANDING IN YOUR CALLING THAT COUNTS MUCH, AND YOUR BECOMING-TO-BE, MATTERS MOST.

Sustain what you've already attained. Enhance the gifts, talents & skills developed in your being.

Mark this: "...THE GIFTS AND CALLING OF GOD ARE IRREVOCABLE" (Romans 11:29, NASB, Text Edition, 1971)

Press on and excel in Good Faith & Grace!

Good cheers!

PRAYER

Dear Father God,

Being The Author, Creator, and Source of everything in us & about us, YOU OWN EVERYTHING!

By Your endless Mercies & abounding Grace, You made us worthy to partake of Your Glory through the sacrifice of Your Only Begotten Son, Christ Jesus, our Savior & Lord. And, in Your Faithfulness & Generosity, You appointed us Trustees & Stewards of Your Wonderful Creation.

What You've already made clean are no longer considered unclean (Romans 8:1).

By Your Grace & Truth, we commit to continue on exercising The Gifts (1 Corinthians 12:1-10), and bearing The Fruits (Galatians 5:22-23) of The Spirit of Truth - The Holy Spirit, our Helper & Comforter at all times, in keeping with Repentance & Faith.

To You, dear Father God, be the Glory, Honor, & Praise for Who You are & in what You've marvelously done & is always doing in our life day-in & day-out.

This we pray, in Christ Jesus' Holy Name! Amen & Amen.

Profession of Faith

I believe in You, Father, God of all creation; and in Jesus Christ, Your only begotten Son, my Saviour, Master, Lord & King;

Who was conceived by the power of the Holy Spirit; born flesh-bone-blood through the virgin woman named, Mary; suffered in the hands of hypocrites, cowards & Godless men; crucified, died, and was laid in the tomb. But like what Master Jesus Himself said beforehand, in the third day He rose to life again and appeared to His disciples. He ascended into Heaven and sit at Your Right Hand.

Then, at Your appointed time, The Son of Man - Jesus - must come out of Heaven, down on the clouds of the sky, in POWER & GREAT GLORY, as The King of kings and Lord of lords to reign on earth.

I believe in The Holy Spirit; and, in Your Elect and Undefiled People.

I believe in the gathering of all Saints; in the forgiveness of mortal sins; in the raising to life everlasting of all those who passed away in the Grace and Knowledge of The Lord; and in the instantaneous changing to immortals of those still alive in the Grace and Truth of Christ Jesus, at His glorious appearing.

I believe in the New Heaven and New Earth, where there is no more hunger, nor thirst, nor sorrow, nor pain, nor crying, nor death. For the former things passed away. For then, ALL THINGS ARE MADE NEW!

I believe, so help me God! Amen.
