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

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...
