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!

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 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...

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...
