In FAITH not FEAR!

When I am afraid, I put my trust in You. - Psalm 56:3 

This verse may seem small but its message is very powerful. When you are afraid. This could mean when you are in doubt, are anxious and full of fear. When I  afraid, I put my trust in You. Say it! "When I am afraid, I will put my trust in You". Saying scripture and speaking it over your life is an important aspect in the Christian life. If Jesus spoke scripture to Satan in the wilderness, then we can say it to the demon of crisis. You may have seen my post on re-creating your world. If not, check it out now! Saying scripture makes the devil shake-but only if we have chased all anxiety or doubt away! If it is still lurking in the corner it may not work! God wants us to stand firm in FAITH not FEAR! Fear is the opposite of faith and can affect our spiritual life. It may not always be a facial emotion. It can be an inside fear, a question, a doubt. Something that disobeys the Will of God. This can put a boundary in our mind. A boundary that stops us from achieving our goal in life. Sometimes, it is us who create our obstructions in our path with God. The other reason is by our permission. Our words give commands and permissions to do things. Sometimes we give Satan the command to do things. For example you might say, "This job is killing me,". You've given Satan the permission to make your job kill you. Or you might say, "My work is rubbish. Anything I do always goes wrong.". You've given Satan permission to make everything you do go wrong. Sometimes, Satan does things to make us say things. Let's not listen to him and make our words say good things, eh?

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...
