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

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...

Inspiration Word - 4/26/18

The strength for our conquering and our victory should not be reliant on ourselves, but continually on Christ. The Bible does not teach that sin is completely eradicated from the Christian in this life, but it does teach that sin shall no longer reign over you. The strength and power of sin have been broken. The Christian now has resources available to live above and beyond sin and the world. Whosoever is born of God does not practice sin. It is like the little girl who said that when the devil came knocking with a temptation, she just sent Jesus to the door. Daily Prayer Lord Jesus, I need Your power continually. You know how many times I am tempted. Help me to not be reliant on myself.

DON'T LOOK BACK!

“Now the just shall live by faith: but if any man draw back, my soul shall have no pleasure in him. But we are not of them who draw back unto perdition; but of them that believe to the saving of the soul.” Hebrews 10:38-39 KJV http://bible.com/1/heb.10.38-39.kjv  Many of us, when we face troubles or hardships we just give up. 1 year, 2 years then we just give up. Or, even worse, we start to think about joining the world again, drawing back from our eternal life. Satan will give you hardships and challenges, but these are not to destroy you, but strengthen you.  This is why we must not give up. God uses our challenges to strengthen us. We must not draw back from our faith. Jesus told us this: “And Jesus said unto him, No man, having put his hand to the plough, and looking back, is fit for the kingdom of God.” Luke 9:62 KJV http://bible.com/1/luk.9.62.kjv So don't look back, back at your past life and start thinking about the world. Focus on Jesus, and remem...
