Are you looking for someone to spill your guts to, confess to, to take your sins and shortcomings away? Look no further. There is one who was so pure and sinless, and obedient to God that He can stand in for us, an advocate for us, if we only believe in Him. Hebrews 7:26 & 27 says: “Wherefore he is able also to save them to the uttermost that come unto God by him, seeing he ever liveth to make…..
Many different peoples burn incense to sweeten the air, some are hiding evil, and some are worshiping their gods. The incense that our God desires, the LORD God of all the earth, is our praises. When you wake up, acknowledge Him. Thank Him that you are awake and breathing, then go get your coffee or whatever to get you going. We can find a million GOOD things to give Him praise for, among the few dark things crowding our thoughts……
You will be possessed with either Heavenly things or earthly things. Satan is the god of this world (2 Corinthians 4:4), which means he has the greatest influence here, but we don’t have to be influenced by him. We can be influenced by God the Father, God the Son, and God the Holy Spirit. You can get so far under God’s wings that you are safe and hidden from the evil influences in this world. I would suggest reading Psalm…..
When you worship, it simply means you spend your time with the object of your attention. You can worship many many things here on earth, or you can worship the LORD God. Leviticus 22 tells us a few things about worshiping God. In verse 24, we are told, “Ye shall not offer unto the Lord that which is bruised, or crushed, or broken, or cut” (KJV). In other words, don’t give God your seconds, your left-overs, your yard sale offerings,…..
Do you take everything at face value? Do you only look at existing conditions and judge reality from what you see? There are deeper and wider truths that what we can see. Life and after-life, mysteries, power, sin and holiness, all these are in the Bible. Are you brave enough to read it and ask God to show you if it is all true? Once, when I was 28, I read the book, and it changed my reality, and shifted…..
We all tend to get angry at people. It is natural to want to respond to actions that are ‘in our face’ and even downright mean. People will turn on you in a second and knife you in the back when they get a chance. Yeah! But, wait a minute! Who is really behind all of this? Who is the puppet-master? The marionettist? The one who is controlling the behaviors that are being exhibited? We need to know our enemy…..
Believe me, you need to have the Lord on your side. When enemies come against you, you are going to need some supernatural help. How do you get Him to come? Ask, seek, knock. “Ask and it will be given you, seek and ye shall find, knock and it shall be opened to you,” Jesus stated in Matthew 7:7 (KJV). This is prayer, plain and simple. You have to “believe He exists and rewards those who diligently seek Him” (Hebrews…..
Where is the Holy Spirit? He is the third person of the Godhead along with Jesus, and Father God. Where does He reside? With whom does He reside? Did He go back to Heaven when Jesus did? Did all the power and miracles that Jesus worked and used leave the earth? If you believe they did, you will miss the fun part of God. You need to read Acts 1:8: “But ye shall receive power after that the Holy Ghost…..
Nobody likes to be called a “whore” because it has a negative connotation of a loose woman with no morals. In Jeremiah 2, the Lord speaks a lot about playing a whore figuratively. We can whore against God in many ways, and we are all guilty. You can whore sexually, mentally, and spiritually. This means with your physical body, in how you spend your time, what you think about, what television, or media slurps up your time that would better…..
Jesus told us plainly, “In the world you will have tribulation [suffering, oppression, distress, affliction]: but be of good cheer; I have overcome the world” (John 16:33, KJV). There is a place deep within your heart or belly where your very being is, that you can go no matter what is going on around you. It is the secret place of the heart where your spirit and soul coexist with God, and it is your safe-place! There you can talk…..
