Do you have Spitirual Indigestion,Taking in more than you are giving out?

Spiritual indigestion is caused, by running to this conference and that bible study, and another meeting and another bible study.

Not taking the time to properly digest what you have learned. Adding another spiritual meal on top of the last one. Without taking time to allow the last meal from the Lord to digest.
In order to digest properly, we need to think about what we have learned, how can I apply it to my life. Meditate on the scripture over and over. Chew and chew on it.

Don't get me wrong, conferences are good, they help us to get motivated, bible study are good, they give us fellowship with those like minded and are hungry to learn.

We must take the time to digest what we have already received. Act upon it, by sharing with others the good news of Jesus being Savior, healer and the one that loves us right where we are in life.
James 1:22
But be doers of the word, and not hearers only, deceiving yourselves.

God may not like where we have taken ourselves, but He always loves us.

Have you poured out your life and shared how Jesus saved you , if you are looking for a spiritual high, that is the one that will do it. Let the Holy Spirit lead you to the right hungry heart.

Ephesians 5:15-19
See then that you walk circumspectly, not as fools but as wise, redeeming the time, because the days are evil.  Therefore do not be unwise, but understand what the will of the Lord is.
And do not be drunk with wine, in which is dispensation; but be filled with the Spirit, speaking to one another in psalms and hymns and spiritual songs, singing and making melody in your heart to the Lord.

To be filled with the Spirit daily for our task, first we must be emptied out. If we are already full, how can we be, filled more?
We can empty out by encouraging someone, a phone call to let them know you were thinking of them.  Or by sharing Jesus in a store or at work. There are many ways that we can empty out so that we can be filled again.

Beloved, pour out what you have learned and refresh each other and encourage each other in the Lord.
Be filled daily with the power of the Holy Spirit because you need a fresh anointing daily in order to bless others.

Spiritual indigestion will cause you to be complacent, idle, where you think you have enough teaching.

No, beloved, we need spiritual food from the Lord daily.  We learn by hearing with our ears, we act out what we have learned when that word sinks down deep into our heart.  When that word becomes life to you and those around you.

Like the children of Israel, they had to collect their manna daily, or it would rot.
The Lord is telling us we need to fellowship with Him daily, and read His word, or we could dry up. We need that water of life flowing into every area of our life.

Be filled, is a command,  not a suggestion, we cannot survive spiritually if we do not  spend quality time sitting at Jesus feet. Receiving daily, a fresh anointing.

We need the fellowship of the Lord, daily, walk in the light as He is in the light.

We can never learn too much beloved, but we can get lazy in the things of the Lord and allow the enemy (our flesh) to have us so busy with other things, that we miss the wonderful blessing of spending time with Jesus.

God bless your day
Jesus loves you

Love in Jesus
Joy

DOES IT MATTER WHO PREACHES THE GOSPEL, AS LONG AS THE GOSPEL IS PREACHED?

 G O S P E L= GOD'S OWN SON PROVIDED ETERNAL LIFE. This is the true gospel,  the good news!! What are we to conclude about this matter? Paul makes it clear, that whoever preaches Christ and the gospel, it doesn't matter, as long as the Gospel gets preached. Philippians 1:15-16 Some indeed preach Christ even from envy and strife, and some also from goodwill.  The former preach Christ from selfish ambition, not sincerely, supposing to add affliction to my chains, but the latter out of love, knowing that I am appointed for the defense of the Gospel. What then? Only that in everyway, whether in pretense or in truth, Christ is preached; and in this I rejoice, yes and will rejoice. Beloved, there are all kinds of preachers out there, but their motives are not our business. Those that are preaching for all the wrong reasons, could later repent, and start preaching for the right reasons.  We have seen this through the years. We are to listen for the truth of God's word. I h...

SCIENCE AND THE BIBLE.

Science proves that God's word has it right for sustaining our life. Science says, that we need   four basic elements to sustain life and survive. We need air, water, food, and light. We have it all in Jesus, if we have received Him as our Lord. Science is right. It has proven God's word is true. Acts 17:25 (Paul was speaking about the Unknown God to the men in Athens) Nor is He worshipped with men's hands, as though He needed anything, Since He gives to all life, breath, and all things. We need air in order to breathe. When we receive Jesus we have His breath, breathing through our lungs. When we breathe, we speak the name of God. Just speaking His name, we inhale YAH and exhale WEH.   YHWH means breath of life. Our Jewish brothers and sisters know the name of God means breath of God. This is an interesting fact that we believers need to know. We also need light. John 8:12 Then Jesus spoke to them again, "I am the light of the world; He who follows Me shall not walk...

JESUS IS NOT A GLORIFIED BUTLER, HE IS THE SON OF GOD.

SOME BELIEVERS THINK THAT JESUS IS A GLORIFIED BUTLER.  Whatever they ask for they will have, whether it is right or wrong. JESUS IS THE SON OF GOD!!  YOU ARE NOT TO COMMAND HIM,  YOU ARE TO ASK HIM, HONOR HIM, AND RESPECT HIM AND HAVE A RELATIONSHIP WITH HIM.  I have heard some believers young in their faith and understanding, say that they have prayed for such a thing and God will give it to them. They are trusting in their faith, not their faith in God. (Works of the flesh, which is witchcraft) Witchcraft is attempting to manipulate your environment or circumstances. (SELF) Works of the flesh. Rebellion is as the sin of witchcraft, and stubbornness is as iniquity and idolatry. (1Samuel 15:23) Galatians 5;19-20 NOW THE WORKS OF THE FLESH ARE EVIDENT, WHICH ARE: Adultery, fornication, uncleanness, lewdness, idolatry, sorcery, hatred, contentions , jealousies, outburst of wrath , selfish ambitions, dissensions, heresies, envy, murders, drunkenness, and revelries, ...
