CHOSEN AND HOLY! 1 Peter 2:9

"But you are a chosen people, a royal priesthood, a holy nation, God's special possession, that you may declare the praises of him who called you out of darkness into his wonderful light." - 1 Peter 2:9

We as Christians are chosen to be part of God's family! But we must know who is who. Some pastors and teachers only pretend and don't know what they're talking about! The Holy Spirit will guide you in this. Jesus chose us to be His disciples! Followers of the Truth. Jesus. When we are chosen for a special event, we feel special don't we? It is the same with Jesus! We must use what He has given us to His glory. Otherwise the Devil comes and snatches the little seed we have and takes it away. Even a little seed of the Word is powerful! SEE Matthew 17:20/Matthew 13. Some Christians doubt we are Holy! But the Bible says it all!

1 Peter 1:16-
Since it is written, “You shall be holy, for I am holy.”

1 Peter 1:15-

But as he who called you is holy, you also be holy in all your conduct


I may as well fill this whole page up with scriptures! One main scripture is Psalm 96:9 "Worship the Lord in the splendor of holiness; tremble before him, all the earth!". How can we worship the Lord if we are not holy? Jesus redeemed that problem and that is that! We are chosen and holy!

What makes faith work? Learn MORE about faith in this devotional...

"That according to the riches of His glory, He may grant you to be strengthened with power through His Spirit in your inner being, so that Christ may dwell in your hearts through faith..." - Ephesians 3:16-17 KJV Okay. I wanted to talk a little bit more on faith. When Paul writes 'dwell in your hearts through faith' what does it mean? This means that we have to show our confidence and belief in Christ, before He comes into our hearts. He knows when we want to trick Him or not. So don't bother being cunning! Because wisdom comes from the Lord! So, if our human efforts cannot make faith to work, what can? (Zechariah 4:6) Our confidence and belief in Jesus! We just have to say, "Jesus, take care of this for me. I don't want to any more. I can't do it by my own power." Acknowledging that you can't do it alone, gives you the first step forward. Then comes the hard bit. When I mean hard, I mean HARD. Because most people people fall away aft...

Black = Normal post Bold = Question  "Call unto Me, and I will answer you, and show you great and mighty things, which you do not know." - Jeremiah 33:3.  Many people either don't believe in God, or become atheists, partly because of this question: Why doesn't God answer some of my prayers?  Answer: This is because of your heart. Before you ask this question you must ask yourself, am I pure? Have I sinned by mistake and need forgiveness? Or are my thoughts starting to make my light darken? Ask yourself these questions and their surely will be an answer.  But why must I ask myself these questions?  " So flee youthful passions and pursue righteousness, faith, love, and peace, along with those who call on the Lord from a pure heart" - 2 Timothy 2:22    If we are not thinking good thoughts or have sinned by mistake or not, we have sta...

Humble Is Best!

Direct my footsteps according to your Word; let no sin rule over me. Psalm 119:133  |  NIV   We need to let God's Word rule our lives, directing our footsteps on our journey through life. God is our Director leading us-even of the path LOOKS right, it doesn't mean it IS right. God knows best so we shouldn't be no-it-alls. Humble your self!
