Fri, 06 Nov 2009 00:00:00 EST

Friday, November 6, 2009 Host: Tim Kelley At some point we come to the conclusion that our way is not cutting it – and we surrender to God's ways. Psalm 119:57-64

My Portion Oh Lord 2

Thu, 05 Nov 2009 00:00:00 EST

Thursday, November 5, 2009 Host: Tim Kelley The writer of this Psalm directs his heart and affections to the only truly safe place. He got a new vision of God, a transforming vision, a new vision of God. Someone has said 'The secret of failure is when we see men rather than God.' Psalm 119:57-64

My Portion Oh Lord 1

Wed, 04 Nov 2009 00:00:00 EST

Wednesday, November 4, 2009 Host: Tim Kelley The writer of this Psalm spoke consistently of his afflictions and trials - evil people and their impact on his life. He came to the conclusion that his great hope and joy had to go beyond earthly pleasure and relationships. Psalm 119:57-64

Self Consciousness or a Transformed Life 3

Tue, 03 Nov 2009 00:00:00 EST

Tuesday, November 3, 2009 Host: Tim Kelley Being “renewed” is a supernatural process of transforming the Christian from a life of self-consciousness to one who is transformed into a Christ like image. This process begins internally and works its way out to the external. Romans 7:7-25

Self Consciousness or a Transformed Life 2

Mon, 02 Nov 2009 00:00:00 EST

Monday, November 2, 2009 Host: Tim Kelley We have all been in those awkward situations, where we feel as though people are talking about us—do not fret more times than not they probably are! Self Consciousness often manifests in extreme shyness. This goes beyond simple personality and temperament; this can become an internal sickness. Romans 7:7-25

Self Consciousness or a Transformed Life 1

Fri, 30 Oct 2009 00:00:00 EST

Friday, October 30, 2009 Host: Tim Kelley We see in this passage a battle Paul speaks of, his battle with sin and its indwelling nature. To give it a more modern term—Paul was consumed with Self Consciousness. Romans 7:7-25

Remembered and Remembering 3

Thu, 29 Oct 2009 00:00:00 EST

Thursday, October 29, 2009 Host: Tim Kelley The Word of God had an inner man ministry to the author of this Psalm. It quieted his heart and brought a calm into the soul. The Word had an imprint on his soul - it was inscribed on his heart. Psalm 119:49-56

Remembering and Remembered 2

Wed, 28 Oct 2009 00:00:00 EST

Wednesday, October 28, 2009 Host: Tim Kelley A soldier in the fog of war only knows the battle he is in at the moment, not the entire strategic plan the General has. Calming the mind, disengaging self, stepping back and getting to the foundational thoughts - this is what the Psalmist is doing. What he is facing is consuming, he must go beyond the obvious, the thunderstorm, and see the Sun again. Psalm 119:49-56

Remembering and Remembered 1

Tue, 27 Oct 2009 00:00:00 EST

Tuesday, October 27, 2009 Host: Tim Kelley One of our biggest challenges in practical Christian life is to simply slow our thinking down. We are consistently being challenged by life to interpret it by the moment and by the circumstance, not the bigger picture. Psalm 119:49-56

The Great Reformation 3

Mon, 26 Oct 2009 00:00:00 EST

Monday, October 26, 2009 Host: Tim Kelley When Christ enters a life, things change. My very core changes. My "center" becomes different; my point of motivation and pursuits. My values, life source, my guts, heart and soul all become holy. Luke 9:58-62

The Great Reformation 2

Fri, 23 Oct 2009 00:00:00 EST

Friday, October 23, 2009 Host: Tim Kelley The Bible becomes our moral guide. We adjust to Gods standards and purity and don't expect God to adjust to ours. Statements like "Well, God understands my needs" are dishonest. Romans 12:1-2

The Great Reformation 1

Thu, 22 Oct 2009 00:00:00 EST

Thursday, October 22, 2009 Host: Tim Kelley The True Great Reformation was not the changing of the church—but the character of man! This is the essence of our faith; when Christ enters a life, things change. Ezekial 24:15-18

The Greatest Judgment 3

Wed, 21 Oct 2009 00:00:00 EST

Wednesday, October 21, 2009 Host: Tim Kelley There were many great judgments, yet the greatest judgment there ever was and will ever be was not the judgment the Lord was roaring about here in Amos, it was the judgment of Calvary. Where God judged Sin itself. It was the judgment of judgments, the sins of the entire world, past present and future, the sinful nature of man, all the lust, slander, adultery, wrong motives, idolatry, everything short of perfect faith, was judged. The divine judgment roared against Jesus Christ Himself. Amos 1:1,2

The Greatest Judgment 2

Tue, 20 Oct 2009 00:00:00 EST

Tuesday, October 20, 2009 Host: Tim Kelley Past History cannot take the place of present spiritual fervency. If I was fervent 5 years ago, I should be more fervent now. We call it maturity when is usually apathy. Amos 1:1,2

The Greatest Judgment 1

Mon, 19 Oct 2009 00:00:00 EST

Monday, October 19, 2009 Host: Tim Kelley The Gospel was never meant to be a idle place of no activity or responsibility, it is a source of propulsion. As the Gospel is personal, so isn't the work of the Gospel. Amos 1:1,2

Quickened in the Way 2

Fri, 16 Oct 2009 00:00:00 EST

Friday, October 16, 2009 Host: Tim Kelley God's loving kindness quickens me. When I settle the love of God in my mind and soul, it gives me an inner rest and life. God's love is independent of man's response, behavior, or actions -- He even likes me!!!! Psalm 119:33-40

Quickened in the Way 1

Thu, 15 Oct 2009 00:00:00 EST

Thursday, October 15, 2009 Host: Tim Kelley Years ago people would raise special homing pigeons, they would put them in crates, put them in a train, move them 100's of miles away, let them free - and they would fly in circles until they got their sense of direction—then whoosh homeward bound. The writer is like this in this portion of the Psalm—looking for direction in the only place he knows where to find it—the Word of God. Psalm 119:33-40

Fleece, Feeling or Flood Faith 3

Wed, 14 Oct 2009 00:00:00 EST

Wednesday, October 14, 2009 Host: Tim Kelley Faith is an exercise of the renewed mind. It needs no Fleece or feeling – and has faith for the flood. 'Flood Faith' uses Gods promises as a support system Flood faith, uses God's past faithfulness as a support system. Judges 6:36-40

Fleece, Feeling or Flood Faith 2

Tue, 13 Oct 2009 00:00:00 EST

Tuesday, October 13, 2009 Host: Tim Kelley 'Feeling Faith' looks for emotional affirmation and confirmation as its support along with or in replacement of the Word of God. Truth is pushed through the filter of our feelings and experiences. We want a supernatural invasion of our emotions and senses to confirm direction and guidance. Judges 6:36-40

Fleece, Feeling or Flood Faith 1

Mon, 12 Oct 2009 00:00:00 EST

Monday, October 12, 2009 Host: Tim Kelley 'Faith' is to use God as your absolute support system. 'Fleece Faith' is a beginner's faith that God gives us to plant seeds of trust in our souls. It imparts a confidence and invincibility. Judges 6:36-40

Special Offer! - Thinking With God - 1

Thinking With God - 1 by Tim Kelley

"Thinking with God" is a non published collection of messages that Tim Kelley, Grace Thoughts host, taught in a small and private setting. These CD's were never posted on the Website or made available to the general public until now. "Thinking with God" answers 2 distinct questions: What is God like and How does God Think? It is impossible for us, as believers, to think clearly in our Christian life without addressing these vital questions.

(The audio quality is reflective of the small setting in which these were recorded.)

Text Article: Grace Victories, Part 2 of 3

We can now rest in what's been accomplished on our behalf. Oh how Christians and orthodox religion need to understand this. Most pulpits today put people to work, not point them to a rest that will cause them to work. We serve out of a place of finished work rest, not some religious ideal or quota system.
