Paid In Full

I have been on a journey this month, my journey was to become more Christ Minded and Christ Centered. I had joined Lynn Donovan over at Spritiaully Unequally Yoked Marriage for her experiment becoming Christ Minded. We are a week away from completing our 30 day journey and it has been this week that my world is beginning to change. Spiritually my husband and I have been on a journey together also. We have been conducting some very interesting Bible studies. One of them was on the "Tithe" its Old Testament use in comparison today use Church use, I challenge you to do the same. I even had a friend and her husband dive in as well. We all know Iron sharpens Iron. Her responses continued our conversation about it all.

Then tonight while I was sitting in Church soaking in the Praise and Worship which by the way was one of one first videos posted on my journey,

Then I hear the subject of the sermon Malachi 3:3. The Pastor was Quoting, Has a man or woman robbed God, I though oh, I know what he is going to be talking about then his preaching took a turn. I began to ask if we had been robbing God of that He had paid for US. That in order to come into his perfect will you have to be willing to completely die to yourself. That what this whole journey has been about. Every morning falling Spiritually to My Knees and Declaring that Everything is his. My thoughts, My desires, My family, My income, are all his and anything short of that is sin because he is being Robbed!

Conclusion WE have been PAID FOR IN FULL! We are not our own! Tonight I was reading on the blogs entry You Where Prayed For" John 17:20. I had never seen that before, Christ prayed for those who would believe by those who where spreading the Gospel.

PAID IN FULL: Jesus died for Leanne! and Jesus died for you! You are Paid in Full!
