RECEIVE CORRECTION AND YOU WILL REPAIR THE CONNECTION.

 AS A BELIEVER IN THE LORD JESUS CHRIST, WE  NEED CORRECTION. ADJUSTMENT IN OUR UNDERSTANDING.

WE HEAR TEACHINGS THAT DO NOT LINEUP WITH THE WORD OF GOD, OR TAKEN OUT OF CONTEXT.

2 TIMOTHY 4:3-5

FOR THE TIME WILL COME WHEN THEY WILL NOT ENDURE SOUND DOCTRINE, BUT ACCORDING  TO THEIR OWN DESIRES, BECAUSE THEY HAVE ITCHING EARS, THEY WILL HEAP UP FOR THEMSELVES TEACHERS; AND THEY WILL TURN THEIR EARS AWAY FROM THE TRUTH, AND BE TURNED ASIDE TO FABLES.

RESEARCH WHAT YOU HEAR.  BE A BEREAN, SEARCH THE SCRIPTURES TO SEE IF WHAT YOU HAVE HEARD IS TRUE. ( ACTS 17:10-15)


WE NEED CORRECTION, OR DISCIPLINE SO THAT WE CAN HEAR THE VOICE OF GOD THROUGH HIS WORD AND IN PRAYER.

WE NEED TO HAVE OUR SPIRITUAL EARS OPEN TO THE BALANCE THAT IS IN THE TRUTH OF GOD'S WORD.


SOME OF US WHO ARE OLDER, NEED TO CHECK OLD TAPES AND SEE IF WHAT WE HEARD YEARS AGO WILL LINE UP WITH THE WORD OF GOD TODAY.

HAVE WE BELIEVED HALF TRUTHS?  WAS THE TEACHING OUT OF CONTEXT? JUST FOR SELF, OR WAS IT POINTING TO JESUS AND ALL HE IS?

DO WE NOW SEE THINGS IN A MORE BRILLIANT LIGHT, AFTER CORRECTION?

CORRECTION IS A GOOD THING. IT OPENS UP OUR UNDERSTANDING, EXPANDS WHAT WE THOUGHT WE KNEW. CLEARS OUT  UNBALANCED TRUTHS.


WE WANT THE WHOLE COUNSEL OF GOD, NOT JUST THE PARTS THAT MAKES US FEEL GOOD.

PROVERBS 10:17

HE WHO KEEPS INSTRUCTION IS IN THE WAY OF LIFE, BUT HE WHO REFUSES CORRECTION GOES ASTRAY.

LIKE CHILDREN GOING TO SCHOOL, WE ALL START OUT IN KINDERGARTEN, LEARNING RELATIONSHIPS AND HAVING FUN. 

THEN WE MOVE TO FIRST GRADE AND SO ON.  WE START OUT LEARNING NEW THINGS ABOUT OUR NEW LIFE. WHO WE ARE IN CHRIST JESUS OUR LORD.

AS WE LEARN TO WALK OUT WHAT WE KNOW, WE MOVE ON TO THE NEXT STAGE OF GROWTH.

OUR MIND IS BEING RENEWED AND WE SEE WHERE THERE NEEDED TO BE CORRECTION AND DISCIPLINE, IN ORDER TO REMAIN BALANCED.

2 TIMOTHY 3:16

ALL SCRIPTURE IS GIVEN BY INSPIRATION OF GOD, AND IS PROFITABLE FOR DOCTRINE, FOR REPROOF, FOR CORRECTION, FOR INSTRUCTION IN RIGHTEOUSNESS.

FOR SOMETHING TO BE REPROVED, MEANS IT WAS NOT RIGHT TO BEGIN WITH.

DISCIPLINE AND CORRECTION WILL OPEN US UP TO HEAR GOD'S VOICE MORE CLEARLY.


CORRECTION WILL RENEW THE CONNECTION.  

YOU WILL HEAR GOD'S STILL SMALL VOICE ONCE AGAIN.

EVERY BELIEVER GOES THROUGH THIS AS THEY GROW AND MATURE IN THE LORD.  

WE HAVE TO DISCERN WHAT IS OF MAN AND WHAT IS OF GOD THE HOLY SPIRIT, WHO IS OUR TEACHER. 

WHAT WE ARE HEARING, DOES IT LINE UP WITH THE WORD OF GOD?


BELOVED, BE A BEREAN, CHECK THINGS OUT FOR YOURSELF, IF YOU SEE JESUS BEING LIFTED UP, GOD ALMIGHTY'S SIGNATURE ON WHAT YOU READ, THEN BELIEVE IT. CHEW ON IT OVER AND OVER AND DIGEST IT.


HAVE A WONDERFUL DAY IN JESUS SEARCHING SCRIPTURES AND GAINING NEW UNDERSTANDING.

ALLOW THE HOLY SPIRIT TO UNFOLD MORE FOR YOUR UNDERSTANDING AND YOUR SPIRITUAL GROWTH.


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...

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, ...

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...
