Thought For The Day

Trust God's word, even if you do not see the answer you expected. He has something better. Beloved, God is not in a hurry, He places people and things in our life to bring glory to Jesus. We hear a lot about having faith, but faith is trusting God no matter what things seem to be. Proverbs 3:5-8 Trust in the Lord with all your heart, And lean NOT on your own understanding;  In ALL your ways acknowledge Him, and He shall direct your paths.  Do not be wise in your own eyes; Fear the Lord and depart from evil. It will be health to your flesh, and strength to your bones. God's word says it all, if we have spiritual ears to hear Him. God will carry us through any trial, no matter what is looks like or feels like. This is where your faith and trusting in the Lord comes  in. God has set other believers around us who see a clearer picture than we do at times. They will give us good Godly counsel, of which our flesh will first resist. We must die daily to that stubborn flesh. Prov...

When we choose the worlds way of doing things and ignoring Him. Yes, we can. He is a Spirit and we have unmerited favor with Him. Galatians 1:9-12 As we have said before, so now I say again. If anyone preaches any other gospel to you than what you have received, let him be accursed. For do I now persuade men, or God? Or do I seek to please men?  For if I still pleased men, I would not be a bondservant of Christ. But I make known to you, brethren, that the gospel which was preached by me is NOT according to man, For I neither received it from man, nor was I taught it, but it came through the revelation of Jesus Christ. Beloved, the true gospel is the good news that Jesus paid for our sins. Washed them away. When we choose the worlds counsel, instead of the Holy Spirit's counsel we insult the Spirit of grace. God has given to us His unmerited favor (grace) So why would we hinder the Spirit of grace or frustrate Him. We can hinder and frustrate the Spirit of Grace by not believing Go...

Beloved, sometimes we allow things to enter our life, that we need to use our spiritual authority and our weapons on to get free to do the works of the Lord. John 14:12-13 "Most assuredly, I say to you, he who believes in Me, the works that I do he will do also; and greater works than these he will do, because I go to My Father. "And whatever you ask in My name, that I will do, that My Father may be glorified in the Son. When we are attacked,  We must start using the authority and the weapons that we have in the Lord. The enemy will try and trespass in our life if we become complacent, lazy, and neglect our faith. There are times when we are self satisfied and not on our guard, we become slothful. Pride can be behind those attitudes. 1Peter 5:8 Be sober, be vigilant, because your adversary the devil walks about like a roaring lion, seeking who he may devour, Resist him, steadfast in the faith, knowing that the same sufferings are experienced by your brotherhood in the world...
