Oh Brian! by Brian Hardie (freda ebook reader .txt) 📕

I am and will forever be His. His kingdom works differently. The entire focus of my heart changes from glory to glory as long as I pursue this kingdom with all my heart. The greatest thing is that what I use to fear has no power over me. I seek no credibility from man. I do not have the same needs anymore. My needs are as He chooses for my growth. My desire is to be in His presence. I don’t need to be accepted or loved by anyone else. His love is sufficient. The scales are removed from my eyes. I can see directly into the hearts of others in order to help them.  I can see the depth of despair and hopelessness that people are trying to cover with the ways of the world.

1Co 1:24  But unto them which are called, both Jews and Greeks, Christ the power of God, and the wisdom of God.

1Co 1:25  Because the foolishness of God is wiser than men; and the weakness of God is stronger than men.

1Co 1:26  For ye see your calling, brethren, how that not many wise men after the flesh, not many mighty, not many noble, are called:

1Co 1:27  But God hath chosen the foolish things of the world to confound the wise; and God hath chosen the weak things of the world to confound the things which are mighty;

1Co 1:28  And base things of the world, and things which are despised, hath God chosen, yea, and things which are not, to bring to nought things that are:

1Co 1:29  That no flesh should glory in his presence.

1Co 1:30  But of him are ye in Christ Jesus, who of God is made unto us wisdom, and righteousness, and sanctification, and redemption:

1Co 1:31  That, according as it is written, He that glorieth, let him glory in the Lord.

I will be a fool of this world to gain His wisdom. I will be despised to walk with Christ. I will suffer to stand in His glory. The ways of the world I set aside for His ways. The walk is not easy it is rewarding and the only thing that matters.  What people think of me matters not. I can help them, if they choose help. I love them and most hate me. I want good things for them, though they want me to hurt. How about you? Are you following His way or your way?

2Co 13:4  For though he was crucified through weakness, yet he liveth by the power of God. For we also are weak in him, but we shall live with him by the power of God toward you. 1Co 4:20  For the kingdom of God is not in word, but in power. 2Co 4:7  But we have this treasure in earthen vessels, that the excellency of the power may be of God, and not of us. Rev 12:10  And I heard a loud voice saying in heaven, Now is come salvation, and strength, and the kingdom of our God, and the power of his Christ: for the accuser of our brethren is cast down, which accused them before our God day and night. Rev 20:6  Blessed and holy is he that hath part in the first resurrection: on such the second death hath no power, but they shall be priests of God and of Christ, and shall reign with him a thousand years.

Let the peace of Jesus Christ reign in you!

Jesus Christ bless you!

RESTORATION – A HUNDREDFOLD

Mat 19:29 reads, “ And every one that hath forsaken houses, or brethren, or sisters, or father, or mother, or wife, or children, or lands, for my name's sake, shall receive an hundredfold, and shall inherit everlasting life.”

Here it is manifested in the life of a sinner-ME. If he can do it for me, he can do it for you!

Blessed to serve and minister to over 600 people through a housing ministry where we preached the Gospel of Peace in Jesus Christ. “The ministration of Life.”

Blessed with all the spiritual gifts.

Blessed to have my relationships restored with Brian, Justin and Andrew.

Blessed with a hundredfold wife (Morgan) and three step children (Tyler, Alyssa, and Zoe).

Blessed with transportation, housing, food, clothing and friends.

Blessed with persecutions, trials and tribulations for my growth.

Blessed with the love of Christ.

Blessed with a joy that gives me daily strength.

Blessed with a peace that surpasses any and all worldly circumstances.

Blessed with patience to wait on the Lord.

Blessed with faith focused in Jesus Christ.

Blessed with increasing temperance.

Blessed to be in His kingdom, despised by this world; both are gifts.

Blessed to have my eyes open (scales removed).

He gives us the desires of our heart. Most only think of this in the positive things he gives. The truth is He gives us all the desires of our heart-Good and bad. The good because it’s his good pleasure and the bad so it will be revealed that it is actually bad. Search out your heart. Bring the bad desires into the obedience of Christ before it’s too late!

I believe in the two commandments for all born again believers....

 I believe in the scriptures and the fulfillment of all scripture...
