DO YOU WANT TO SEE GOD MOVE IN YOUR LIFE AND IN OTHERS?

  You will need to live with an uncontaminated pure heart. In the beatitudes in verse eight, the Lord made it plain to us.   Matthew 5 :3-8, Blessed are the poor in spirit, for theirs is the kingdom of heaven. Blessed are those who mourn, for they shall be comforted. Blessed are the meek, for they shall inherit the earth. Blessed are those who hunger and thirst for righteousness, For they shall be filled. Blessed are the merciful, for they shall obtain mercy. BLESSED ARE THE PURE IN HEART, FOR THEY SHALL SEE GOD. Beloved, the Lord made it plain for us to see that a pure heart opens our way to see God. It is a daily task to guard our heart from becoming contaminated with all the worlds junk. Proverbs 22:11 He who loves purity of heart And has grace on his lips, the king will be his friend. It's up to us to spend more time in God's word, than to watch TV, or other media that take the time that belongs to Jesus. Jesus first! Let the Holy Spirit lead you, then all the other thing...

GOD'S TIMING IS EVERYTHING. HE WROTE ALL OUR DAYS BEFORE WE WERE BORN.

We may think traffic made us late, or a phone call, but not so.  Beloved, God orchestrates everything in our life.  All our days are planned, that is if we belong to Jesus. So enjoy the detours and delays. Don't get anxious. That will allow fear an entrance. Psalm 139:16-17 Your eyes saw my substance being yet unformed. And in your book they all were written, The days fashioned for me, When as yet there were none of them.  How precious also are Your thoughts to me, Oh God! How great is the sum of them. I was shopping later than normal, so I thought. There was a man in the produce department wearing a large cross. Like I always do, I asked him what does that cross mean to you.  I told him that this is your chance to share his faith in Jesus.  He said he is saved, but does not know how to do that yet.  I knew that he was a new believer, so I shared some things with him.   Divine appointment. I gave him one of my mirrors that has the gospel written ...

DON'T JUST READ GOD'S WORD BECAUSE YOU FEEL OBLIGATED TO DO IT. LEARN TO LOVE IT.

Allow the Holy Spirit to draw you to the word, and teach you to love it. It's Jesus, He is the word. Jesus is the Word! John   1:1-4, In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. He was in the beginning with God. All things were made through Him, and without Him nothing was made that was made. In Him was life, and the life was the light of men. Beloved, Jesus is the Word, so as you read His Word you are fellowshipping with Jesus, and His word is reading you. Every Word in our bible is God breathed. Matthew 4:4 (Jesus in the wilderness being tempted) "It is written, Man shall not live by bread alone, but by every word that proceeds from the mouth of God! Psalm 119:11 Your word I have hidden in my heart, that I might no sin against You; Beloved, there is a difference in loving something or feeling obligated.  When you feel obligated you feel it is your duty to do something.  Not something you are anxious to do. (Holy Spirit gently leads, b...

THE IMPORTANCE OF SPIRITUAL KNOWLEDGE.

We don't get our knowledge from the world, we    get it from our Heavenly Father's words, that the Holy Spirit says He hears and delivers to us. Hosea 4:6 My people are destroyed for lack of KNOWLEDGE, because you have rejected knowledge, I will reject you from being priest for Me, Spiritual knowledge is so important to the believer. They must know God's word. Proverbs 2:10 When wisdom enters your heart, and knowledge is pleasant to your soul. There are three Greeks words for knowledge. Different understanding. 1. Gnosis:  Spiritual knowledge gained through personal experience and awareness rather than logical deduction. 2. Episteme:  Knowledge of deep understanding of concepts, theories and disciplines through reasoning. 3. Sophia:  Wisdom, the highest level of understanding, which involves good judgment and gives us the ability to apply knowledge that we have learned. Hebrew word for knowledge is to know. Knowledge that is found in God's word is applicable ...

THERE IS A TIME TO SPEAK AND A TIME TO BE SILENT AND TO HAVE A LISTENING EAR,

Silent and listen have the same letters. Isn't that interesting?  We are to keep silent when others are talking. We should be listening to their every word. Not thinking about what we want to say, but waiting for the Holy Spirit to direct us.  After praying with someone, our words should carry life, revealing the love of Jesus this is so important. Ecclesiastes 3:7 A time to tear, and a time to sew, a time to keep silent, and a time to speak. A wise believer will know when to listen and when to speak. Beloved, silence becomes an active display of our spiritual depth and insight. When we are worshipping Jesus, take a time to be silent before Him so you can hear Him speaking to your heart. The Greek Philosopher Pythagoras said" Our words will reveal our character.  Just what God's word says. Proverbs 17:28 Even a fool is counted wise when he holds his peace; when he shuts his lips, he is considered perceptive. Ecclesiastes 5:3 For a dream comes through much activity, And a ...

IS THERE A DIFFERENCE BETWEEN FAITH AND TRUST?

  It takes faith to trust Jesus for salvation. What is the difference between faith and trust? Faith is the confident belief in God's character and His promises.  Hebrews 11:6 But without faith it is impossible to please Him, for he who comes to God must believe that He is, and that He is a rewarder of those who diligently seek Him. Faith is believing who God says He is. Trust is a deliberate choice to rely on God's character, especially when we are going through trials and tests. HE IS FAITHFUL. Faith is stepping out into what you don't know will be there. A preacher once took a chair and said, faith in the design that it will support you, trust is when you believe that you can sit in that chair and it will hold you. Faith is stepping out when you don't know   what will be there. Trust is when you do know God's word and trust His promises and life will be there. It takes trust to live in the salvation provided for us by Jesus, faith to walk one step at a tim...

DO YOU KNOW WHICH COVENANT YOU ARE UNDER, WHERE YOU WILL EXPERIENCE GOD'S LOVE?

In the old testament   you can see an angry God. All about Mount Sinai, the mountain of God. If the Idol worshippers touch the mountain, they were to be killed by the Levites. 3000 were. Exodus 32:28 So the sons of Levi did according to the word of Moses, and about three thousand men of the people fell that day. That's the old covenant. In the New Covenant 3000 people were saved. Acts 2:38-41 Then Peter said to them, Repent, and let everyone of you be baptized in the name of Jesus Christ for the remission of sins; and you shall receive the gift of the Holy Spirit.  "For the promise is to you and your children, and to all who are far off, as many as the Lord our God will call." And with many words he testified and exhorted them, saying, " Be saved from this perverse generation." Then those who gladly received his word were baptized and that day about three thousand were added to them. God's mercy and grace and forgiveness is found in the New Covenant.  It...
