Spirit of God Prt 2

"For, Whoever would love life
and see good days
must keep their tongue from evil
and their lips from deceitful speech.
They must turn from evil and do good;
they must seek peace and pursue it." - 1 Peter 3:10-11

Some of us mistake seek peace, as seeking peace in this world. The only way that you'll find peace - is not in this world, but in Jesus.
"I have said these things to you, that in me you may have peace. In the world you will have tribulation. But take heart; I have overcome the world.” - John 16:33. What will we have in this world? TRIBULATION, meaning TROUBLE. True peace is only in Jesus.

Question: But what about all the troubles, wars and...non-peace.
"And you will hear of wars and rumors of wars. See that you are not alarmed, for this must take place, but the end is not yet. For nation will rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom, and there will be famines and earthquakes in various places." - Matthew 24:6-7.
Jesus said this must take place - MUST. Yes, and I know, it does not explain why. But as you delve further into the Word of God, you find that we are in dangerous times - also known as the End Time. This means that these things will happen, and as Jesus said, it's not the end. Sometimes these things have to happen to us Christians - but notice this: Jesus never said there would be no temptations. HE NEVER SAID THERE WOULD BE NO RESPONSIBILITIES!!! He said:
"Then he said to them all: "Whoever wants to be my disciple must deny themselves and take up their cross daily and follow me." - Luke 9:23 NIV
Daily we face responsibilities. Some of them we realise, some of them we don't. But never lose hope - Christ, who lives in you, has overcome the world. Sufferings will come, trials will come, but don't give up. Jesus lives, and is the same yesterday, today and forever (Hebrews 13:8). Some of us give up on Christianity when there are temptations. With your own ability you cannot overcome these temptations - but with the Spirit of Good you can. Overcome - with the spirit of God!

The Power In The Name

"There is none like God...who rides through Heaven to your help, through the skies in His majesty" - Deuteronomy 33:26  Many of us expect an answer when we pray - immediately. We try to control God  thinking we know best, when God does. But if the Holy Spirit lives in us, patience live in us too, because it is of the Spirit (Gal  5:22 ). We have everything we ever need or ever will need - the only thing you have to do is activate it. The power in the name of Jesus, as soon as you activate it, is ready and available to use. Anyone can say Jesus, but they can't use its power because it's either:  A) not given to them or  B) they don't believe.  What can I do to activate the power?  To activate this power, you need faith and full relying on God. No matter what, even in temptation. You see, a Christian's life is one with more temptation. But that's good - because:  A) We overcome them all!  B) It's when we show and display J...

The Godly Godliness

1 Timothy 4:7 -  7  Have nothing to do with godless myths and old wives’ tales;  rather, train yourself to be godly.  The godliness Paul is talking about here means piety to God, a revered holiness. What do I mean? Well, on what we do we should have a holiness for him. Our clothing, people should be able to say 'this is a real Christian'. Our behaviour should also have a holiness. A fear of God. As the Bible says, the fear of God gives life. This holiness is about the things you do, how you respond to God and to the things of God. Our character influences the way we live and what we do-it's the way people determine who you are, for it is always the inner man the speaks out. They are books and magazines you shouldn't read, things you shouldn't watch and games you shouldn't play. The excuse 'it's Christian' won't work this time! Watch with your children - make sure you are sure of what they watch. Never forget who you are in Christ: His own, o...

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!
