Spirit Breakfast 1/4/2021 Bible Passage: Romans 2:14-16 (The Passion Translation) God’s Judgment 14 For example, whenever people who don’t possess the law as their birthright commit sin, it still confirms that a “law” is present in their conscience. For when they instinctively do what the law requires, that becomes a “law” to govern them, even though they don’t have Mosaic law.  15 It demonstrates that the requirements of the law are woven into their hearts. They know what is right and wrong, for their conscience validates this “law” in their heart. Their thoughts correct them in one instance and commend them in another.  16 So this judgment will be revealed on the day when God, through Jesus the Messiah, judges the hidden secrets of people’s hearts. And their response to the gospel I preach will be the standard of judgment used in that day. Prayer: This is your season of enthronement in Jesus name. No power will stop it in Jesus name.  Happy New Month Stay Graced... #spiritbreakfast™

 Spirit Breakfast 31/3/2021 Bible Passage: Romans 2:6-13 (The Passion Translation) 6 For: He will give to each one in return for what he has done. 7 For those living in constant goodness and doing what pleases him, seeking an unfading glory and honor and imperishable virtue, will experience eternal life.  8 But those governed by selfishness and self-promotion, whose hearts are unresponsive to God’s truth and would rather embrace unrighteousness, will experience the fullness of wrath. 9 Anyone who does evil can expect tribulation and distress—to the Jew first and also to the non-Jew.  10 But when we do what pleases God, we can expect unfading glory, true honor, and a continual peace—to the Jew first and also to the non-Jew, 11 for God sees us all without partiality. 12 When people who have never been exposed to the laws of Moses commit sin, they will still perish for what they do. And those who are under the law of Moses and fail to obey it are condemned by the law.  13 For it’s not mer

Spirit Breakfast 30/3/2021 Bible Passage: Romans 2:1-5 (The Passion Translation) God Judges Sin 1. No matter who you are, before you judge the wickedness of others, you had better remember this: you are also without excuse, for you too are guilty of the same kind of things! When you judge others, and then do the same things they do, you condemn yourself.  2 We know that God’s judgment falls upon those who practice these things. God is always right, because he has all the facts.  3. And no matter who you think you are, when you judge others who do these things and then do the same things yourself, what makes you think that you will escape God’s judgment? 4. Do the riches of his extraordinary kindness make you take him for granted and despise him? Haven’t you experienced how kind and understanding he has been to you? Don’t mistake his tolerance for acceptance. Do you realize that all the wealth of his extravagant kindness is meant to melt your heart and lead you into repentance? 5. But b

Spirit Breakfast 29/3/2021 Bible Passage: Romans 1:26-32 (The Passion Translation) 26–27 For this reason God gave them over to their own disgraceful and vile passions. Enflamed with lust for one another, men and women ignored the natural order and exchanged normal sexual relations for homosexuality. Women engaged in lesbian conduct, and men committed shameful acts with men, receiving in themselves the due penalty for their deviation. 28 And because they thought it was worthless to embrace the true knowledge of God, God gave them over to a worthless mind-set, to break all rules of proper conduct.  29 Their sinful lives became full of every kind of evil, wicked schemes, greed, and cruelty. Their hearts overflowed with jealous cravings, and with conflict and strife, which drove them into hateful arguments and murder. They are deceitful liars full of hostility. They are gossips  30 who love to spread malicious slander. With inflated egos they hurl hateful insults at God, yet they are nothi

Spirit Breakfast 26/3/2021 Bible Passage: Romans 1:21-25 (The Passion Translation)   21 Throughout human history the fingerprints of God were upon them, yet they refused to honor him as God or even be thankful for his kindness. Instead, they entertained corrupt and foolish thoughts about what God was like. This left them with nothing but misguided hearts, steeped in moral darkness.  22 Although claiming to be super-intelligent, they were in fact shallow fools.  23 For only a fool would trade the unfading splendor of the immortal God to worship the fading image of other humans, idols made to look like people, animals, birds, and even creeping reptiles! 24 This is why God lifted off his restraining hand and let them have full expression of their sinful and shameful desires. They were given over to moral depravity, dishonoring their bodies by sexual perversion among themselves—  25 all because they traded the truth of God for a lie. They worshiped and served the things God made rather tha

Spirit Breakfast 24/3/2021 Bible Passage: Romans 1:16-20 (The Passion Translation) 16 I refuse to be ashamed of sharing the wonderful message of God’s liberating power unleashed in us through Christ! For I am thrilled to preach that everyone who believes is saved—the Jew first, and then people everywhere!  17 This gospel unveils a continual revelation of God’s righteousness—a perfect righteousness given to us when we believe. And it moves us from receiving life through faith, to the power of living by faith. This is what the Scripture means when it says: “We are right with God through life-giving faith!” 18 For God in heaven unveils his holy anger breaking forth against every form of sin, both toward ungodliness that lives in hearts and evil actions. For the wickedness of humanity deliberately smothers the truth and keeps people from acknowledging the truth about God.  19 In reality, the truth of God is known instinctively, for God has embedded this knowledge inside every human heart.

Spirit Breakfast 23/3/2021 Bible Passage: Romans 1:2-6 (The Passion Translation) 2. My commission is to preach the good news. Yet it is not entirely new, but the fulfillment of the hope promised to us through the many prophecies found in the sacred Scriptures.  3 For the gospel is all about God’s Son. As a man he descended from David’s royal lineage,  4 but as the mighty Son of God he was raised from the dead and miraculously set apart with a display of triumphant power supplied by the Spirit of Holiness. And now Jesus is our Lord and our Messiah.  5 Through him a joy-producing grace cascaded into us, empowering us with the gift of apostleship, so that we can win people from every nation into a faithful commitment to Jesus, to bring honor to his name.  6 And you are among the chosen ones who received the call to belong to Jesus, the Anointed One. Prayer: Henceforth, your head will not lack the oil of God's anointing in Jesus name.  Stay Graced... #spiritbreakfast™ #pastormuve™ #ove
