Let's Meditate!

"Therefore, my dear brothers and sisters, stand firm. Let nothing move you. Always give yourselves fully to the work of the Lord, because you know that your labour in the Lord is not in vain." - 1 Corinthians 15:58 

Some of us let our guard down once we face temptations or we partially take part in the work of God.. Our labour, the stuff we face, doesn't get looked upon - it gets rewarded. Nothing should move us according to Paul. He said it again in Ephesians six. This all happens in a different realm - the spiritual which controls the physical. Many of us blame people directly for their actions - which is wildly wrong. Because everyone is a spirit which means that to be able to control a person, you have to control them in the spirit. God  is a spirit, which means you need to talk with him through the spirit. For example, there's a bad odour in the room. What would you do? 
A) Blame the smell on itself? 
B) Find the smell's source and remove it 

Yes, we would all choose B. The person is the smell - now we need to find the source. If the Spirit lives in you, the source you will be able to find easily - because the Spirit will tell you. The Holy Spirit brings everything to rememberance - meaning that He tells us things through our conscience. But sometimes we're not ready to hear - the Bible says we should. 

" Know this, my dear brothers and sisters: everyone should be quick to listen, slow to speak, and slow to grow angry." - James 1:19 CEB 

Did you hear that? Quick to listen... meaning we should also be ready to hear the voice of God. Some of us are too busy, too active. But God wants us to be connecting with Him all the time. Sometimes, you may here something and say 'What was that?' - it may be God trying to get your attention. You see, you shouldn't just read the Bible and put it down. No! You need to respond to God by praying, and meditating (thinking about and dwelling on) God's Word! Let's meditate! 

Scripture References: 
1 Cor 15:58
James 1:19 
James 1:16 
James 1:17-18 

Confession: I am a son/daughter of God and will never let my guard down. I will work fully in the House of God, and He shall be my Lord and Saviour. Devil, get away! IJN, Amen

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...

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...
