What happens if I am spiritually cripple? Exciting, enthusiastic devotional!




 "Silver and gold I do not have, but what I do have, I give you. In the Name of Jesus Christ, rise up and walk" - Acts 3:6 

In the spirit realm, what do we have to give apart from silver and gold? We have to give our love, demonstrated by power. Our power is propelled by love. Some of us are either lame in the spiritual realm, or keep stumbling at obstacles. How can we prevent this?
First, we must acknowledge fully Jesus can save us if we follow Him 
Second, we must trust that He knows what He is doing, and whatever He has, He will give you. He always has blessings with Him. Some of us just need to rise to the calling. Jesus has His hand out ready to help us up. But it is our choice. Will we have full, no-doubting faith, in Him and take that helping Hand? But, before you do, you may want to be filled in on the facts. 

Jesus Christ provides us with forgiveness and eternal life. He covers our sins with His love. If we follow Him, we will have temptations, but they will be for our own good. Now I want to talk about what shows our faith. I tell you this, it is our good deeds. "What good is it, my brothers and sisters, if someone claims to have faith but has no deeds? Can such faith save them? 15 Suppose a brother or a sister is without clothes and daily food. 16 If one of you says to them, “Go in peace; keep warm and well fed,” but does nothing about their physical needs, what good is it? 17 In the same way, faith by itself, if it is not accompanied by action, is dead." - James 4:14-17. This powerful. If our faith shows no action, no hunger for Jesus, we lie. And lying is a sin. So you sin by not showing true hunger for Christ. Accompany actions with faith and God will work in your life. Good deeds make us go forward in life. If we are the image of Jesus and his examples, we must do mix faith with actions. Jesus wants to help our hurt or crippled spiritual selves. But He has given us free will. Will you take His hand or stay a cripple in a world of sin? 

Thanks, from #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...
