A Bit More About Godly Character- Proverbs 11:3










"The integrity of the upright guides them,
    but the unfaithful are destroyed by their duplicity." - Proverbs 11:3

This verse leads to want I want to talk about today - Godly Character. Godly character is when we are Christ-like which we need to be all the time. If we call ourselves Christians our actions must be those of Godly character. People look at your life - who do they see, someone holding fast to their integrity or someone who leads and others to and dwells in deceit.  Philippians 4:8 says, :
"Finally, brothers, whatever is true, whatever is honourable, whatever is fair, whatever is pure, whatever is acceptable, whatever is commendable, if there is anything of excellence and if there is anything praiseworthy—keep thinking about these things."

This describes Godly character - many more verses here: https://www.kingjamesbibleonline.org/Bible-Verses-About-Christian-Character/

Godly character dwells in the things God has done for us and what is good and of 'good report'. If we keep on dwelling and getting worked up on the situation around us, we're not going to get anywhere. But when we believe and keep our faith strong in God, something will happen after a while
(Further study: 1 Peter 5:10, Ephesians 6:10-12)

"Beloved, do not believe every spirit, but test the spirits, whether they are of God; because many false prophets have gone out into the world."- 1 John 4:1. Godly character does not believe every word they hear.

"and he will delight in the fearof the Lord.
He will not judge by what he sees with his eyes,    or decide by what he hears with his ears;" - Isaiah 11:3

Christ lives in us (2 Corinthians 3:5)  , which means we are like Him, like Paul said:
" There is neither Jew nor Greek, there is neither slave nor free, there is neither male nor female; for you are all one in Christ Jesus." - Galatians 3:38 . We are all ONE in Christ Jesus! So, we, like Isaiah 11:3 says do not decide disputes from what we hear, (Note: Isaiah is talking about the Messiah here)
but must test the spirit inside a person (1 John 4:1) for everyone has a spirit. How to know if the Spirit is of God:
"By this you know the Spirit of God: every spirit that confesses that Jesus Christ has come in the flesh is from God" -1 John 4:2. When we confess, the Holy Spirit which is in you, will tell you if a spirit is truly of God. This is what John is trying to explain. Because Satan is very good at pretending! He has no power! He can only twist - and erase - what God has planted in your life!

CONFESSION:

I am a heir of God and the spirit of Jesus is in me, taking me to new levels of glory. I am walking in the light just as Jesus is. I restore everything the devil bad taken in my life - I am a conqueror. In Jesus name, Amen!

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!  ...
