Law in My Heart








"I delight to do Your Will, my God. For your Law is written in my heart" - Psalm 40:8


Some of us just ask and ask and ask and...you know the rest. But we hardly ever think about what GOD wants, when we ask, don't we. Yesterday I talked about selfish interests but sometimes when we ask, it may not be about ourselves but about our obstacles or about other people. We pray "Lord, remove this obstacle" or "Lord, kill or harm this person for disgracing me", but, I tell you the truth, we're not supposed to pray this. James said,
"Everyone is tempted..." - James 1:16

So, when we do have obstacles, we shouldn't pray for these to be removed! We already have power to remove them! We command them! We should sustain them by living right, keeping steadfast faith, and having peace that everything is well. That's what faith is. It's where we dwell on a fact until it happens. Hebrews 11:1 says,
"Now faith is being sure of what we hope for and  [being] certain of what we do not see"

God's law should be our whole desire, obeying it, I mean. If we don't, our faith, works and words mean nothing. God's Law should be written in our hearts, forever. And they should become apart of you too. Paul writes in Romans 7:25 that he delights in the Law of God, which some people cannot do. The Law of god may seem like a burden, but in actuality it protects us from evil.
"But you, o man of God, flee from all evil and pursue righteousness, Godliness, faith, love, endurance and gentleness." - 1 Timothy 6:11

We should FLEE FROM ALL EVIL. Which means as soon as we become Christians, we automatically hate the things of the world - but that does not mean we hate the people too! The people also belong to God too - even though they do not follow him. If we do hate them, we are following Satan's plan to destroy mankind. God's Word is a sword, not physical. Let's hear its description:
"For the Word of God is living and active. Sharper than any double-edged sword, it penetrates even to dividing souls and spirit, joints and marrow; it judges the thoughts and attitudes of the heart."

The Word of God is much more powerful than what we think. I'll talk more on it tomorrow.

Confession: Lord, I command every obstacle to find its way. Any trap the devil has set for me, I trap it for him! I use my power, that Jesus has given me and break every obstacle, in Jesus name, Amen!

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...
