Jesus Encourages The Trip And The Abc’s (Isaiah 26:4; Luke 6:47 48) 2

Ground Up Grace and Forgivin Livin teach two simple practices or spiritual disciplines. TRIP and ABC. In today’s message from Luke, Jesus affirms the TRIP method of praying by inviting us to come to him to listen to His voice. Then we can plan our action for the day. You will hear Sonja give a TRIP prayer based on today’s verses. The four steps are what in the verse makes me THANKFUL. Then what am I sorry about because I see how far short I fall from what I hear my Lord telling me. That is REGRET or REPENT. When we admit we are in trouble we need to ask God for help. This is the “I” letter or INTERCESSION. Finally when we have dug deeply to discover this rockbed of our faith, we can PLAN an ACTION or PURPOSE for the day. Other actions based on the rock of our faith are the ABC’s. These are found in Luke 6. A=ABSOLVE in verse 37: Absolve and you will be absolved. B=BLESS in verse 28. Bless those who curse you, and pray for those who abuse you. C=CONSTANTLY. This is in Matthew 18:21-22 when Peter asks Jesus how often he should forgive his brother, “7 times?” And Jesus tells him “I tell you not seven times, but seventy-seven times.” Build your faith on Christ’s words (TRIP) and the ABC’s will follow.
