If you love God you will obey His word, and peace will follow.

 People who love God will obey His word.  

When you love God you want to please Him and show Him by obeying His word.

John 14:21

He who has My commandments and keeps them, it is who loves Me. And he who loves Me will be loved by My Father, and I will love him and manifest Myself to him.

Our hearts may be moved during worship times, but do we obey God's word?

Loving God is linked to our obedience.

2 John 6

"This is love, that we walk according to His commandments.  This is the commandment, that you have heard from the beginning, you should walk in it.

We obey God's word because we know that He has our best interest at heart. He is our Abba Father.

I had an experience years ago when I lived in Austin, Texas.

I had lead my hairdresser to Jesus, and she said that she had cousins from out of town, would I come to her house and share Jesus with them.  I went and they also received the Lord.

They wanted to be baptized, so I called my church, they said that they only baptize on certain dates.  

I was hearing the Holy Spirit saying to me keep trying. Here I was with a car load of new Christians. Who had to leave town, so it had to be that day.

So I called the Great Hills Baptist church and Pastor O'Chester agreed, so I took them and he baptized them all. 

God bless that dear brother for making time to do the will of God.  He obeyed the Holy Spirit that day.

Our obedience has evidence of actions.  Do we give up or keep listening to the Holy Spirit?

Isaiah 1:19

If you are willing and obedient, you shall eat the good of the land; 

Beloved, we must be willing in our heart and obedient to God's word and mission.

No matter what it may look like, keep trying to follow the lead of the Holy Spirit.

Our obedience has great rewards, starting with peace in our heart that we obeyed God.

Luke 6:46

" But why do you call Me "Lord Lord", and not do the things which I say"

Is Jesus your Lord if you do not obey His word?

Loving Jesus and obeying all He has said to us in His word, is proof of that love. If He is Lord to you, then obey Him! Do what He says.

Acts 5:32

"And we are His witnesses to these things, and so  also is the Holy Spirit whom God has given to those who obey Him."


Beloved, obey the prompting of the Holy Spirit and do the will of the Lord in your life and in others.

God's timing is perfect, Pastor O'Chester happened to be in town and was willing and obedient to his ministry.

Never give up when it looks like a closed door, push on it and see if it is open.


Thank God for the men and women of God that listen and obey the call of the Spirit. 

Sometimes it looks to inconvenient, and the flesh will try to stop us, so just listen to the Holy Spirit.

God's timing is perfect.

Obey God's word and you will find great joy and peace for your soul. Get quiet and listen. 

Silent and listen have the same letters. That's a lesson in itself.

When something looks impossible, that's when God goes to work, as nothing is impossible with God.

Obedience nd love go together.


God bless your day

Jesus loves you

Love in Jesus

Thank you Joy. "If you confess with your mouth, Jesus is Lord, and believe in your heart, God raised Him from the dead, you will be saved." Confessing with your mouth Jesus is Lord, is not just about saying words. It's about acknowledging what is true in your life He is Lord! He is the one that we obey. Ruaty

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, ...
