It is better to live one verse of the bible, than to recite an entire chapter.

Many Christians can quote scripture, but some don't want to live out what they know.

James 1:22-25
But be doers of the word, and not hearers only, deceiving yourselves.  For if anyone is a hearer of the word and not a doer, he is like a man observing his natural face in a mirror, for he observes himself, goes away and immediately forgets what kind of man he was.
But he who looks into the perfect law of liberty and continues in it, and is not a forgetful hearer but a doer of the work, This one will be blessed in what he does.

Are we quick to forgive?  Are we quick to be kind, and show love when someone does us wrong? These are questions we need to ask ourselves. Are we allowing God's word to go deep into our soul? Where the changes are needed?

Do we have a need to expose others weaknesses?  (pride)
What if someone exposed ours?
We are told to confess one to another, this will keep us healed and humble.

Not one of us is perfect, but thank God we have the perfect one inside of us, who is perfecting us to be all we can be in Christ.

Be patient with each other as God is not finished with any of us yet!

Hebrews 6:12
And do not become sluggish , but imitate those who through faith and patience inherit the promises.

James 1:2-4
My brethren, count it all joy when you fall into various trials, knowing that the testing of your faith produces patience.  But let patience have its perfect work, that you may be perfect (mature) and complete lacking nothing.

Beloved, if you know the word of God and can quote the word of God, then you can also live it.
Be consistent, be focused, and you will see that the implanted word of God is working in you and for you.
So fill your heart and mind daily with God's word, it has the transforming power.

Proverbs 4:20
My son, give attention to my words; incline your ear to my sayings, Do not let them depart from your eyes;  Keep them in the midst of your heart;  For they are life to those that find them, And health to all their flesh.

Beloved, don't just quote scripture, but live it out in your every day life, this will show the world around you that you are genuine, the real deal.  The word Christian means to be Christ-like!

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...

GOD'S LOVE LETTER TO HIS CHILDREN. PART 2

Read God's word and see how many times He chose to bless and not curse His people. God knows our every move and cares that we understand there is obedience to His word that will help us. God's word is a light unto our path.  Psalms 119:104-105 Through Your precepts I get understanding; therefore I hate every false way. Your word is a lamp to my feet, and a light to my path. God's word is rest for the weary, when we have not obeyed the word of God, we will become weary, anxious, and fearful, when we choose to do our own thing instead of what God tells us to do. Jesus loves us too much to leave us where He found us.  Praise God that he did find us searching for truth. Thy word is truth and Jesus is that word. So yes, there will be reminders for our spiritual growth that is needed. Will you squirm and try to fight the Holy Spirit? Yes, because the flesh always fights the Holy Spirit. Galatians 5:17 For the flesh lust against the Spirit, and the Spirit against the flesh; and th...

THERE IS A CONNECTION BETWEEN FORGIVENESS, ENVY AND SIN IN THE HEALING OF OUR BODY.

MANY CHRISTIAN'S HAVE YET TO RECEIVE THEIR HEALING, BECAUSE THEY REFUSE TO FORGIVE. OUR HEALING OF MIND AND BODY ARE DEEPLY CONNECTED, JESUS SAID SO. UNFORGIVENESS IS A SIN.  WE MISS THE MARK THAT GOD HAS SET, WHEN WE HOLD ONTO THAT SIN. BECAUSE IT ONLY HURTS US.  I KNOW THIS FROM EXPERIENCE.   MY BODY BROKE DOWN AND I HEARD THE LORD SAY,  "JOY, AS LONG AS YOU DO NOT FORGIVE YOU CANNOT BE HEALED IN YOUR BODY"  I  FORGAVE AND MY BODY WAS HEALED OF A DISEASE THAT THERE IS NO CURE FOR. IT ONLY CRIPPLES YOU. THIS IS PROVEN OUT IN GOD'S WORD. (John 5:1-15) Read the whole thing. The man healed by the pool.  John 5: 14 Afterward Jesus found him in the temple, and said to him, " See, you have been made well, Sin no more, lest a worse thing come upon you." PROVERBS 14:30 A SOUND HEART IS LIFE TO THE BODY, BUT ENVY IS ROTTENNESS TO THE BONES. (ARTHRITIS)  All sickness is not from the devil, although he does magnify the symptoms....
