Thought For The Day

  When our feelings do not line up with God's word, we must press on and do the word of God whether we feel like it or not. When God's word says to love each other and our enemies, it is a command not an option.  It will take your will and choice to obey that commandment. John 14:15 Jesus said " If you love Me, keep my commandments" John 14:21 He who has My commandments and keeps them, it is he who loves Me. And he who loves Me will be loved by My Father and I will love him and manifest Myself to him. John 14: 24 He who does not love Me does not keep My words;  and the word which you hear is not Mine but the Father's who sent Me. God's (Agape) unconditional love, is so different from our natural human love.  We love if you please us, whereas God's kind of love has no expectations. We need the Holy Spirit to manifest God's love and set our will to obey the command to love God's way. Beloved, God's kind of love keeps no records of the wrongs tha...

Jesus told us that He is the way and the truth and the life. John 1:17 The law was given through Moses, but grace and truth came through Jesus Christ. John 8:31-32 Then Jesus said to those Jews who believed in Him, "If you abide in My word, you are My disciples indeed.  "And you shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free. If Jesus makes us free and truth makes us free, then we ought to realize that Jesus is truth. To the degree that you submit to God and His word, Is the measure that you can resist the world, the flesh and the devil. It is time we all turn off everything and spend quality time in God's word, that is,  if we are His disciples. What is God's word saying to our heart?  We need to really think about what we are reading. These are not just printed words on a page, they are however, words of life.  God breathed! It is not just information, because we gain knowledge from that information when we apply it to our life.  It is by t...

  We are to contend for the faith, as many false teachers have been revealed in our last days, just as it was in the early church. Jude 3-4 Beloved, while I was very diligent to write to you concerning our common salvation,  I found it necessary to write to you exhorting you to contend earnestly for the faith which was once for all delivered to the saints. For certain men have crept in unnoticed , who long ago were marked out for condemnation,  ungodly men, who turn the grace of our God into lewdness and deny the Lord God and the Lord Jesus Christ. The enemy has sent certain men in their fellowship who look and sound like true believers,  but they are in fact there to contaminate the truth of God. They mishandle the word of God, added to it and perverting its true meaning.  They compromise with the world and misrepresent the grace of God denying the Lord. God will expose and remove these wolves in sheep clothing. We are reminded in Jude that these people are de...

  If only we would take in account  the significance of the precious blood of Jesus. It provided our entrance into the presence of God our Father.  It cleanses us from the effects of our sin. Ephesians 2:13-14 But NOW in Christ Jesus you who once were far off have been brought near by the blood of Christ. Ephesians 1:7-10 In Him we have redemption through His blood , the forgiveness of sins, according to the riches of His grace which He made to abound toward us in all wisdom and prudence,  having made known to us the mystery of His will,  according to His good pleasure which He purposed in Himself,  that at the dispensation of the fullness of the times He might gather together in one all things in Christ, both which are in heaven and which are on the earth-in Him. When Jesus was crucified the temple curtain tore from the top to the bottom, now we do not have to have someone go into God's presence for us, we can come boldly into the presence of God, as J...
