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!

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!

What is the wisdom of the world to God? FOOLISHNESS!

“For the wisdom of this world is foolishness with God. For it is written, He taketh the wise in their own craftiness.” 1 Corinthians 3:19 KJV http://bible.com/1/1co.3.19.kjv You see, for new born believers, it takes a while for the fact that they cannot be loved by or be part of the world. Unfortunately, this is usually found out after devastating consequences. In this chapter of 1 Corinthians, verse 19, Paul talks about the Wisdom of God being foolishness to the world. This portrays the relationship between a Christian and the world. THEIR SHOULD'NT BE ONE. No-one can sit on the fence. For those of you trying, you still will belong to the darkness. Until you take a step of faith to reach the light, you and your darkness remain. After becoming a Christian, you are made holy. But maintenance and discipline are needed to keep the holiness and remain pure. People begin to defile this holiness by continuing and re-doing their past life! Don't follow them! Remain pure!  ...
