IS YOUR HEART PLIABLE? IT IS ALL ABOUT OUR HEART, NOT OUR HEAD.

 WE LEARN SO MUCH AND DON'T APPLY IT TO OUR HEART.  WE KEEP IT IN OUR HEAD. 

KNOWLEDGE IS GOOD WHEN IT APPLIES TO GOD'S WORD.

ECCLESIASTES 12:11

THE WORDS OF THE WISE ARE LIKE GOADS, AND THE WORDS OF THE SCHOLARS ARE LIKE WELL DRIVEN NAILS, GIVEN BY ONE SHEPHERD.


JESUS' KNOWLEDGE GREATLY INCREASED AS HE GREW.  OUR KNOWLEDGE OF GOD AND HIS GOODNESS, LOVE AND MERCY, SHOULD INCREASE ALSO.

THIS IS THE STORY WHEN JESUS WAS MISSING THREE DAYS FROM THE  FAMILY AFTER THEY HAD BEEN IN JERUSALEM FOR THE FEAST OF PASSOVER. (LUKE 2:39-52)

LUKE 2: 40

AND THE CHILD GREW AND BECAME STRONG IN SPIRIT, FILLED WITH WISDOM, AND THE GRACE OF GOD WAS UPON HIM.

LUKE 2:46-47

NOW SO IT WAS THAT AFTER THREE DAYS THEY FOUND HIM IN THE TEMPLE, SITTING IN THE MIDST OF THE TEACHERS, BOTH LISTENING TO THEM AND ASKING THEM QUESTIONS.

AND ALL WHO HEARD HIM WERE ASTONISHED AT HIS UNDERSTANDING AND ANSWERS.

LUKE 2:52

AND JESUS INCREASED IN WISDOM AND STATURE, AND IN FAVOR WITH GOD AND MAN.

YOU MUST LEARN TO ALLOW THE WORD TO PENETRATE YOUR HEART, THAT DEEP PLACE IN YOUR SOUL, WHERE THE REAL YOU LIVES.

WE START OUT LEARNING IN OUR HEAD, BUT IT NEEDS TO GO DEEPER THAN OUR MIND, IT HAS TO ENTER OUR HEART. 

LUKE 2:49

AND HE SAID TO THEM (HIS PARENTS) 

"WHY DID YOU SEEK ME?  DID YOU NOT KNOW THAT I MUST BE ABOUT MY FATHER'S BUSINESS.?"

SOME OF US ALSO NEED TO BE ABOUT OUR FATHER'S BUSINESS. 

MAKING DISCIPLES AS JESUS HAS TOLD US. THERE ARE MANY CONVERTS, BUT FEW DISCIPLES. 

THOSE WILLING TO RUN THEIR RACE TO THE END.


OUR MIND IS LIKE A COMPUTER, GARBAGE IN AND GARBAGE OUT.

 AS WE READ THE WORD OF GOD AND ALLOW IT TO PENETRATE OUR HEART, IT WILL WASH OUT THE NEGATIVE THOUGHTS THAT WE HAVE PICKED UP FROM THE WORLD.

AND GOD'S WORD WILL REFRESH OUR THINKING. TRANSFORMATION TAKING PLACE.

BELOVED, WE ARE THE CHURCH OF JESUS CHRIST. 

IT'S NOT THE BUILDING MADE WITH MANS HANDS, IT IS A LIVING ORGANISM PLACED ON THIS EARTH TO MAKE A DIFFERENCE WITH GOD'S LOVE. 

TO BRING LIGHT INTO THIS WORLDS DARKNESS.

SHOWING THE LOVE OF GOD THAT  HAS BEEN PLACED IN OUR HEART FOR THE LOST. 

THAT IS THE MOTIVATOR THAT KEEPS US GOING FORWARD.

SO ALLOW THE WORD OF GOD TO PENETRATE YOUR HEART.  GOD IS LOOKING AT THE HEART.

YES, WE NEED HOMES OR BUILDINGS TO BRING THE NEW CONVERTS TO, SO THEY CAN GROW IN THE LORD AND BE DISCIPLED.

BUT, REMEMBER WE ARE THE CHURCH AND EVEN IF THERE IS NO LONGER A BUILDING TO WORSHIP IN, WE CAN WORSHIP ANYPLACE, WHEN WE LOVE THE LORD.


GOD BLESS YOU

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, ...
