Getting REAL with God!

An acronym was put on my heart a few months back and I wanted to share it.
It was all about getting REAL:

R = Recognize Truth
E = Experience Freedom
A = Answer God's Call for your Life
L = Live with God's Power

I feel like these are such important keys to victory in our Christian lives.

Truth:First and foremost, where do we turn to for truth? If we believe the Bible is true, we have to believe ALL of it. No matter how much society changes and morals are replaced with a belief that everything is good as long as it feels good and doesn't hurt others, as Christians, our view of right and wrong needs to be according to the Word of God.
Freedom: When we know God and trust in Jesus, we can experience freedom that can only come from God! He wants us to be free from all the junk going on around us and in us. John 8:36 says, "Therefore, if the Son makes you free, you are free indeed."
God's Call: God has a purpose and a plan for all us of. We need to seek God and live a life of obedience to the ways of God so we can be in His perfect will. That doesn't mean the road will be easy and we'll have lots of money, but it does mean that we will be under God's protection. We can trust that His ways are better than our own.
God's Power: Many people say they believe in God but not many live a life full of God's power. We serve a powerful God who parted the Red Sea and healed the sick and made the blind people see. We have the Holy Spirit in us and we need to ask God to fill us up with His power, to speak to us, and to use us to bring glory to His name.

Romans 8:37-39 talks about NOTHING being able to separate us from the love of Christ and also that we are MORE THAN CONQUERORS through CHRIST.
"Yet in all these things we are more than conquerors through Him
who loved us. For I am persuaded that neither death nor life, nor
angels nor principalities nor powers, nor things present nor things
to come, nor height nor depth, nor any other created thing, shall be
able to separate us from the love of God which is in Christ Jesus our Lord."

Let's make a difference and impact those around us with the love
of Christ and by God's strength.
