DON'T GIVE IN

-
Proverbs 23:31 Look not thou upon the wine when it is red, when it giveth his colour in the cup, [when] it moveth itself aright. We who have come to Christ have left the ways of the world and all that is unrighteous to follow the new path Christ has laid for us. Our greatest desire is to always please the Heavenly Father. Just as Jesus, the Son of the Heavenly Father said, we are not taken out of the world but we are kept from evil. That was His prayer for us. Yet we must give accounts, we must face our trials and tribulations and overcome them. John 17:15 I pray not that thou shouldest take them out of the world, but that thou shouldest keep them from the evil. John 16:33 These things I have spoken unto you, that in me ye might have peace. In the world ye shall have tribulation: but be of good cheer; I have overcome the world. Romans 5:3 And not only [so], but we glory in tribulations also: knowing that tribulation worketh patience; Knowing this, then why would we as believers tend to...

THE FAITH WALK

-
Ephesians 5:11 And have no fellowship with the unfruitful works of darkness, but rather reprove [them]. When the liberty Christ brought us into is spoken of, some find it difficult to comprehend. Many still need to be guarded by the law. Why is this? They have not yielded to the Spirit of God. They have refused to grow. 1 Peter 2:1-3 So get rid of all evil behavior. Be done with all deceit, hypocrisy, jealousy, and all unkind speech. Like newborn babies, you must crave pure spiritual milk so that you will grow into a full experience of salvation. Cry out for this nourishment, now that you have had a taste of the Lord’s kindness. Many received salvation but have not been taught the rudiments of the new life they have received. That is rejecting the former life of sin and embracing the new birth into righteousness. It is not now about "do not touch" , "do not eat", "observe this day or that day", or "reverence this being or that being" or "glo...

GRACE EXPRESSED

-
Ephesians 2:8 For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: [it is] the gift of God: We were called from rejection into royalty. Empowered to live the type of life God wants us to live. That we would show forth the praises of Him who brought us into His everlasting life. Thus having been brought out of the bondage of the law, which was not actually given to us but to the Jews. We enjoy eternal grace as the bible puts it "the Jews first then the Gentiles". Yes that is why Jesus started His ministry with the Jews. However He continued in Samaria and He said "to the uttermost part of the earth". Acts 1:8 But ye shall receive power, after that the Holy Ghost is come upon you: and ye shall be witnesses unto me both in Jerusalem, and in all Judaea, and in Samaria, and unto the uttermost part of the earth. Thus, the gentiles never had the law, so it was easy for the grace to be expressed, it was(and is) more difficult for the Jews cause they had been...

ABIDE IN CHRIST!!!

-
John 6:28-29 They replied, “We want to perform God’s works, too. What should we do?” Jesus told them, “This is the only work God wants from you: Believe in the one he has sent.” They had been fed miraculously and they rushed down again to see Him who fed them just as Jesus said, that they may be fed again. They even wanted to crown Him king (stomach infrastructure, smiles) John 6:26 Jesus answered them and said, Verily, verily, I say unto you, Ye seek me, not because ye saw the miracles, but because ye did eat of the loaves, and were filled. They had heard that the Heavenly Father supplied manna from heaven to them when they were in the wilderness so they said: John 6:14 Then those men, when they had seen the miracle that Jesus did, said, This is of a truth that prophet that should come into the world. However they did not know the extent of the Messiah's rule, they did not understand that God had left all judgment to Him. They had forgotten the prophecy. Isaiah 9:6 For unto us a c...

ARE YOU AWAKE?

-
Mark 14:38 Watch ye and pray, lest ye enter into temptation. The spirit truly [is] ready, but the flesh [is] weak. Staying awake is one very important role of the soldier. It is something that the body must be trained to do. Same thing applies to the believer, the watch is so important for us to stay victorious. Then comes the phrase "the spirit is willing but the flesh is weak!". Matthew 26:40 And he cometh unto the disciples, and findeth them asleep, and saith unto Peter, What, could ye not watch with me one hour? The power and forces of darkness are at work and they ought not to meet us unprepared. Glory to God, we do not fight with weapons that are carnal, but with God's power that can pull down every strong hold. 2 Corinthians 10:3-4(NLT) We are human, but we don’t wage war as humans do. We use God’s mighty weapons, not worldly weapons, to knock down the strongholds of human reasoning and to destroy false arguments. SO: Parents: Stay awake for your children Children:...

THE PROUD CHRISTIAN

-
Romans 12:3 For I say, through the grace given unto me, to every man that is among you, not to think [of himself] more highly than he ought to think; but to think soberly, according as God hath dealt to every man the measure of faith. Can we ignore the great things and elevation we receive/received when we accepted/accept the salvation we have from the Heavenly Father through Christ Jesus. They are enormous. From nothing we become something. No matter who or what we thought we were or had. In spiritual measurement it is valueless. Ecclesiastes 1:2 Vanity of vanities, saith the Preacher, vanity of vanities; Do we know what it is to have direct access to the Father? (though sometimes we forget that we do) To sit with Christ in heavenly places! However many have to be warned not to take these privileges for granted. Romans 11:20-22 Well; because of unbelief they were broken off, and thou standest by faith. Be not highminded, but fear:  For if God spared not the natural branches, [take...

THE WISDOM FROM GOD

-
Ecclesiastes 12:12 And further, my son, be admonished by these. Of making many books there is no end, and much study is wearisome to the flesh It has been observed that as you grow to the zenith of academics your region of expertise begins to narrow down, you have areas of specialization. One thing is fact, there is no end to learning for man, when you think you know so much on a matter someone else arrives and dwarfs or levels your knowledge. A man can make so much noise on an issue but someone else comes and counters his claims. Proverbs 18:17 The first one to plead his cause seems right, until his neighbor comes and examines him. One still remains true and infallible and that is the call of God to every heart and mind and the evidence of His presence all around us. You may argue or try to use your human instinct to explain it, yet it will elude you. The workings of God and His salvation plan by coming to earth in human form in the person of His Son further to the revelation and pres...
