The Bible said it, I obey it!








"Observe what the Lord your God requires: Walk in obedience to him, and keep his decrees and commands, his laws and regulations, as written in the Law of Moses. Do this so that you may prosper in all you do and wherever you go" - 1 Kings 2:3

This verse should be of great importance to us Christians on our walk with God. Obedience to God is one of the greatest thing we can do for Him. Forgiveness and Obedience are different things and this is what I want to explain today.

Forgiveness:
Cleansing by the blood of Jesus, that covers our sins after we disobey God and/or His commandments. His commands are for us to walk and live with Him, preach the Gospel, and make it have affect in our lives.

How?
We make it have affect by obeying it to build up our strength in God. Then we teach others and make sure we are an example for Him as Paul instructs us in Philippians 2.

How do we know if the prophets had the Holy Spirit?
"For prophecy never had its origin in the human will, but prophets, though human, spoke from God as they were carried along by the Holy Spirit." - 1 Peter 1:21
You can see that the Holy Spirit told Peter to write this for us. PROPHECY NEVER HAD ITS ORIGIN IN THE HUMAN WILL. Our will does not give us anything. The flesh is:
Your mind
Your emotion
Your will
The human will is made out of the flesh and is unstable and easy to break without Jesus and God's Word. The human will accomplishes nothing:
"'The Spirit gives life; the flesh profits nothing. The words I have spoken to you..." - John 6:63
Remember what I said about the flesh? It includes your will meaning that the human will is powerless! God's Word are life. Without them we are dead people.
"We demolish arguments and every pretension that sets itself up against the knowledge of God, and we take captive every thought to make it obedient to Christ." - 2 Corinthians 10:5. Our thoughts, actions and words are important. Satan uses every little wrong to get you out of this power that you use to slay his kingdom. Your foul words, or your aggressive attitude could land you in a lot of trouble. God commands us in Ephesians 4:29:
"Let no corrupting talk come out of your mouths, but only such as is good for building up, as fits the occasion, that it may give grace to those who hear.". The Bible says it! So we must obey it!

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...
