Spirit of God

"The Lord is my salvation; I will trust and not be afraid" - Isaiah 12:2 NKJV

Some of us plan our lives. There is nothing wrong with that apart from - will you be alive then? To be able to see your plan being accomplished?

No, I didn't think of that. 

 Proverbs 27:1 says "Do not plan out tomorrow - for you know not what it brings". Most of the time, we want to be organised and planned out. That's fine when it comes to work, business etc. But it's not fine when we are in God's presence. We are supposed to let God be in charge when we are in His presence. Jesus said that when we should pray, we shouldn't let anyone see us. We shouldn't let anyone distract us either. Because Satan knows that when you are in God's presence, your fire kindles all the more. And he knows that when you meditate on the Word, the fire kindles more. So, he uses distractions. Here are a few:

  •  Looking out of the window 
  • Crying, shouting, arguing from another room 
  • Ringing phones
  • Anything, really
When you are in God's presence, those things don't mean anything anymore. Hallelujah! You may of course hear them, but you are so...'wrapped up ' should I say in the presence of God. The presence of God lives in us. How? Because God lives in us. Take a look: 
"I will not leave you comfortless, I will come to you" - John 14:18 
Jesus said, HE WILL COME TO US. HOW? THROUGH THE HOLY GHOST!!!!! 
The Holy Ghost, Jesus and God are all God, and do not 'make up' God as some Pastors may preach. God's presence is more valuable than we think. When we are in the presence of God, there's no room for nonsense. God's presence follows those who he really dwells in, and their behaviour reflects it too. They now carry the spirit of God wherever they go! We clearly do not deserve to be in God's presence - after all we've all sinned (Rom 3:23). We should be grateful, and always be in fellowship with God

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...

STOP HOLDING ONTO FLESH!

“He that hath my commandments, and keepeth them, he it is that loveth me: and he that loveth me shall be loved of my Father, and I will love him, and will manifest myself to him.” John 14:21 KJV http://bible.com/1/jhn.14.21.kjv We can see from this verse that a true follower of Jesus obeys his commands. But why do we find it difficult to follow Jesus? It’s because we are still holding onto flesh. We don’t want to let go, we think we can be both of God and of the flesh. But for you to work with God, the flesh must be dead. The flesh is your mind, emotions and your will. I repeat, God cannot work with you if the flesh is still alive. We cannot still hold on to the flesh. We are still sitting on the fence, not going in or out. Jesus said: “So then because thou art lukewarm, and neither cold nor hot, I will spue thee out of my mouth.” Revelation 3:16 KJV http://bible.com/1/rev.3.16.kjv Let’s stop holding onto the flesh!

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...
