Working Out Your Own Salvation - Lisa Patterson

The next thing to getting closer to God is working out your own salvation.It is important to
do that because you are the only one responsible for yourself and your salvation!
 It takes time to  get you saved. But you only
can decide for yourself where you will go! And
guess as to what it means till you get with the Lord about it!!
Phillip. 2:12 Work out your own salvation with fear and trembling. Be a butterfly(spirit), to
become pure and blameless "children of God."without fault in a warped and crooked generation.Bless the Lord and all His works!
Keep the faith! It takes it for anything you do.
We are to work out our own salvation by us.    No one can do it for you.Sotera means rescue or
safety(salvation) by us. Vs 14 Do everything without trembling or arguing so you may become blameless and pure to Him.Salvation is knowing you have changed your ways to please the Lord!
 It goes deeper than just saying I have asked for salvation. You have to work at His word and
it everyday!! Phillip 3:15. If you think differently, that to God will make clear to you. And only
let us live up to what we have dearly attained. Can't walk in another life God is interested in.
God knows all about you and wants you to stay away from other things that are not of Him.
Acts.17:24 He put you where He wants you. Have ears to be discerned as what the Lord is saying
to you. God said to stop looking at the  contrary to the truth. Be vigilant and keep your eyes open.
The Lord said," I have not changed, I have not changed, not changed at all what I have said to you!
Stop looking over at the other side of the fence and always seeing what is there. Stay where He planted you so as to bloom where you are assigned!Stay where you are to be(with me)! For if
you go another route it will be painful to get back on track where you are to be. There are things
planted where you are to be that are needed for your survival. Work out your own salvation unto
me saith the Lord."God loves you so much that He died for you and took your sins on that cross
for you so you can spend eternity in Heaven with Him. Take what He has said and work with fear
and trembling. It is a narrow road to eternity with Him whereas the broad wide road leads to Hell.
You have no idea how that place is nor do you have no idea how wonderful it will be to get to Heaven
for eternity. So stay on your path whatever He created you to be where he planted you and you will
flourish and bloom there! The 6 hindrances to faith are: Lack of understanding of what it means to be a new creation in Christ.II Cor. 5:17. Many don't know they are new creatures in Christ. 2.Lack of understanding of our place in Christ. In Him,In Christ.I John 5:13. 3. Lack of understanding of righteousness.James 5:6. Failure to understand righteousness holds people in bondage. 4.Lack of understanding of our right and privilage to use the Name of Jesus. Mark 16. 5. Lack of understanding about acting on the word. Prov.3:5. Every believer has authority over devils in the Name of Jesus!
6. Lack of understanding that we are to hold fast to our confession of faith. The truth is our faith keeps pace with our confessions. Heb.4:14, Romans 10:10, Mark 11:23. These should be studied so as to understand what we need to know about faith and how to unlock it and have it for everyday life!
The Lord said "I have not forgotten all I have told you that I would do. I have not changed at all. It is
coming. Take heed because it is coming. That promise I gave you no matter how long ago as you have obeyed me. I do not take it lightly. It is still on my heart and will be there as long as you follow me with your heart. I have taken it all into account. It is what I said to you. Believe it. I am taking from the back row to the front. I am shifting things to go to the front for you who love me!"
