Thought For The Day

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 ...

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 ...

  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...

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...

  We all are impatient to see the Lords return.  James 1:2-4 My brethren, count it all joy when you fall into various trials, knowing that the testing of you faith produces patience.  But let patience have its perfect work, that you may be perfect and lacking nothing. When we see wars and rumors of wars, and we think this is it, Jesus is coming soon.  Beloved, Jesus is here already, in you and me. We see Him working in these revivals, all over the world. (revival means to make alive) Don't forget Jesus said, He will return in an hour you think not. (Matthew 24:42-44) We have always seen wars and heard rumors of wars through out the ages.  Only because of the news media, do we realize what is happening all over the world. God is saving souls my the millions at this time. 2Peter 3:9 The Lord is not slack concerning His promise, as some count slackness, but is longsuffering toward us, not willing that any should perish but that all should come to repentance. Bel...

  You can not perfect yourself, that is the work of the Holy Spirit. Hebrews 4:9-12 There remains therefore a rest for the people of God. Let us therefore be diligent to enter the rest , lest anyone fall according to the same example. For the word of God is living and powerful, and sharper than any two edged sword, piercing even to the division of soul and spirit, and of joints and marrow, and is a discerner of the thoughts and intents of the heart. The word of God reads us while we read it. It will show you hidden intents in your heart. It will speak to you about your thought life. So cast all your cares unto the Lord, and He will carry them. Let go, and Let God!! Rest in Jesus while the Holy Spirit does the work in you. We are being sanctified daily, changed from glory to glory. When we try to be a good Christian, we are moving in our flesh, trying to do the Holy Spirits job. Just be you in Jesus, that is enough. Stop trying, and learn to rest in the arms of Jesus. We can try ...
