Acting on God's Word....


"Do not merely listen to the Word and deceive yourselves. practice it and do what it says." - James 1:22

Today I wanted to talk to you about the Bible's power. Many atheists and other non-Christians believe that the Bible is not true, but THEY haven't meditated on the Word that they heard from Church, study etc.
Let's take a look at what Jesus said:
"They are like a man building a house, who dug down deep and laid the foundation on rock. When a flood came, the torrent struck that house but could not shake it, because it was well built. 49 But the one who hears my words and does not put them into practice is like a man who built a house on the ground without a foundation. The moment the torrent struck that house, it collapsed and its destruction was complete.'"
Any questions?

OK. But HOW do I 'practice and do' what God's Word says? 
You make sure that whatever it says, has effect on your life. What I mean to say is, make sure what It says is what you're doing and is happening in your life. If not, from the moment you heard it and found out it was true, make sure it is. 

So, not only do I have to hear scripture, I have to act upon it in my life. 
Yes.
BUT WHAT IF I DON'T UNDERSTAND IT?! 
It may be difficult to the human mind but have you thought about God's Spirit? 
No. 
God's Spirit is the spirit of understanding (Isaiah 11:1-2), and dwells in us (1 Corinthians 3:16), so He gives us understanding to understand God's Word, the Bible.
Does God get angry? 
No. He has, what is called, holy anger which is totally different from anger that comes from sin. His anger is not towards us but to the Devil and his agents, who want to kill mankind because of the authority God gave us. We must do the same, but this takes place in the spiritual realm. If we did it physically, the Devil would be happy because we are accusing the cover and not the cause. take it like this. Someone puts bubble wrap over some stinky cheese. After a while, the cheese begins to smell. Would you blame the bubble wrap or the thing inside? 
The thing inside.
Exactly! If someone is possessed it is the thing inside that is the trouble! Satan or his demons and devils, in our case! We have power to cast them out!  
Tomorrow I will talk about worrying. Have a good day, #dbverses2016!

The Godly Godliness

1 Timothy 4:7 -  7  Have nothing to do with godless myths and old wives’ tales;  rather, train yourself to be godly.  The godliness Paul is talking about here means piety to God, a revered holiness. What do I mean? Well, on what we do we should have a holiness for him. Our clothing, people should be able to say 'this is a real Christian'. Our behaviour should also have a holiness. A fear of God. As the Bible says, the fear of God gives life. This holiness is about the things you do, how you respond to God and to the things of God. Our character influences the way we live and what we do-it's the way people determine who you are, for it is always the inner man the speaks out. They are books and magazines you shouldn't read, things you shouldn't watch and games you shouldn't play. The excuse 'it's Christian' won't work this time! Watch with your children - make sure you are sure of what they watch. Never forget who you are in Christ: His own, o...

STOP HOLDING ONTO FLESH!

“He that hath my commandments, and keepeth them, he it is that loveth me: and he that loveth me shall be loved of my Father, and I will love him, and will manifest myself to him.” John 14:21 KJV http://bible.com/1/jhn.14.21.kjv We can see from this verse that a true follower of Jesus obeys his commands. But why do we find it difficult to follow Jesus? It’s because we are still holding onto flesh. We don’t want to let go, we think we can be both of God and of the flesh. But for you to work with God, the flesh must be dead. The flesh is your mind, emotions and your will. I repeat, God cannot work with you if the flesh is still alive. We cannot still hold on to the flesh. We are still sitting on the fence, not going in or out. Jesus said: “So then because thou art lukewarm, and neither cold nor hot, I will spue thee out of my mouth.” Revelation 3:16 KJV http://bible.com/1/rev.3.16.kjv Let’s stop holding onto the flesh!

Pondering the Bible: How can a good God allow evil?

""The heart is deceitful above all things, And desperately wicked; Who can know it?" Jeremiah 17:9 NKJV http://bible.com/114/jer.17.9.nkjv Q:  How can a good God allow evil?  This is the question I get from many Christianity skeptics. Well, let’s think all the way back to the beginning. God gave Adam and Eve a choice. To remain in His goodness, and enjoy a peaceful, free life, or go their own way and define good and evil for yourself. We all know what happened. The point I’m trying to make is,  man chose to do evil.  If you decide to deliberately burn yourself by putting your hand in an oven, you can’t blame the cook for that. It’s the same thing!  Man chose to do evil.  Well, why can’t God get rid of evil?  Do you want to remove your existence? Well, God doesn’t. You see, if God removed evil, He would have to remove man in the process, as man is evil. But He found a way to remove evil from us without wiping us out. He sent Jesus to die for u...
