The Connected Man

This is my first entry for the connected man blog. I am a man connected to God through my Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. This Blog is not just for men, so feel fee to share the address with anyone you know. If this blog is a blessing to you please let me know.

So many of us go through life not realizing the power we have once we connect to God through Jesus Christ. In John 14:6, Jesus said, “I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me”. How do you get connected?

If you are separated from God you need to know that you were created with value and worth! And God loves you.
God loves you and
Sin separates from God so we cannot know Him personally or experience His love.
Know that Jesus Christ died in our place.
He rose from the dead.
Your Decision to Connect with GOD. We must believe in and receive Christ.
We receive Christ by faith.
Receiving Christ (getting connected) involves:
-Recognizing our need for Christ.
-Turning to Christ and away from self (repentance).
-Trusting Christ to come into our lives, forgive our sins, and make us what He wants us to be.

Once we are connected to God, we have life and with life we have the power to be free, healthy and prosperous in our lives here on earth. If we are obedient to the word of God, all these promises are ours. So many Christians don’t realize this. They allow the world to put them down, or keep them down. They don’t see themselves as God sees them for God looks at the heart. He does not see our frailties and weaknesses, he sees our potential. The chorus to an old song explains it perfectly:

“Through His eyes of love;
See yourself the way He does;
Through His eyes of love;
You’re perfect in His eyes of love”

The enemy doesn’t want you to see this. He wants you to feel like a failure and feel like everyone is talking about you. The truth is if you really knew how little people are thinking of us, and I don’t mean that in a bad way, we would not worry about what other people are thinking, only what God is thinking. That is what having the Mind of Christ is all about. The more word we put into our spirits, the more time we spend with God in daily prayer and devotions, the more we will see how God sees us.
