The Source Of You Heart: Jesus or Satan









"The unfolding of Your Words gives light. It gives understanding to the simple" - Psalm 119:130

Who are the simple? The simple are those who who accept God's Word with no pride, or 'if I do this..I get this'. What I mean is, some people teach and preach the Gospel because of money. Others, because of the thirst for fame. We need to unfold the Word, to understand its meaning. When we unfold God's Word we make sure that It we are obeying it and putting it into practice. To unfold God's Word, we need to:
Read His Word with uttermost seriousness, attentiveness, and with the Holy Spirit's understanding and wisdom

Pray using the Word you've read. Pray for it to come into affect in your life and/or for God's Spirit to bring to your remembance His Word.

"But the Helper, the Holy Spirit, whom the Father will send in my name, he will teach you all things and bring to your remembrance all that I have said to you." - John 14:6
We have no excuse for sinning after we know what is right or wrong. READ THIS AMAZING TRUTH:
"Therefore you have no excuse, O man, every one of you who judges. For in passing judgment on another you condemn yourself, because you, the judge, practice the very same things. 2 We know that the judgment of God rightly falls on those who practice such things. 3 Do you suppose, O man—you who judge those who practice such things and yet do them yourself—that you will escape the judgment of God?" - Romans 2:1-3. I advise you read the whole book of Romans 2 as an explanation of what happens when you sin, knowing the truth. When you know the truth, it sets you free:
"Then you will know the truth, and the truth will set you free." - John 8:32

Why must we go back to our old habits? We know the Truth, now we are free, we don't want to be bound. If you are enslaved by a master, you would want to be free, wouldn't you? You would not go and beg the master so that you can be his slave again, would you? Slave was our master and treated us cruelly. There is a quote that states:

Son wouldn't be so attractive if the wages were paid immediately.

The result of sin, is death (Romans 6:23). If we're sinners, our spirit is dead and we are tossed around to do things by sin. We don't blame people for their bad actions -- we blame the demon inside them. If their was an odd smell in the house would you blame the smell for the smell? No. You would find the source! That's what we need to do:

Behold, I give unto you power to tread on serpents and scorpions, and over all the power of the enemy: and nothing shall by any means hurt you. - Luke 10:19.

God has given us power -- which should be activated -- to find sources. You can identify a Christian by their fruits. If you're not a true Christian, you don't have the correct source in you. The source should be Jesus Christ for us Christians.

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...

Acting on God's Word....

"Do not merely listen to the Word and deceive yourselves. practice it and do what it says." - James 1:22 Today I wanted to talk to you about the Bible's power. Many atheists and other non-Christians believe that the Bible is not true, but THEY haven't meditated on the Word that they heard from Church, study etc. Let's take a look at what Jesus said: " They are like a man building a house, who dug down deep and laid the foundation on rock. When a flood came, the torrent struck that house but could not shake it, because it was well built.   49  But the one who hears my words and does not put them into practice is like a man who built a house on the ground without a foundation. The moment the torrent struck that house, it collapsed and its destruction was complete.'" Any questions? OK. But HOW do I 'practice and do' what God's Word says?  You make sure that whatever it says, has effect on your life. What I mean to say is, make sur...

Pondering the Bible: How to deal with anger

"Human anger does not produce the righteousness God desires." James 1:20 NLT http://bible.com/116/jas.1.20.nlt Let’s admit it, we all deal with anger sometimes. But some more than most. When we do get angry, we get this overwhelming sense of bitterness and malice that is sometimes uncontrollable. This brings us to today’s question: How do you deal with anger?  Well, satan will always keep on trying to do things to make you angry. And as soon as you give in and never let it go, you have failed and satan can hold you back.  Here’s how to deal with it:  The Bible says that when you are angry you should not let it carry over to the next morning.  "And "don’t sin by letting anger control you." Don’t let the sun go down while you are still angry," Ephesians 4:26 NLT http://bible.com/116/eph.4.26.nlt This means you may only be angry for some time. But I wouldn’t for long:  "Understand this, my dear brothers and sisters: You must all be...
