Mustard Seed Tree

“First, you must understand this: In the last days people who follow their own desires will appear. These disrespectful people will ridicule ⌊God’s promise⌋”
‭‭2 Peter‬ ‭3:3‬ ‭GW‬‬

Peter is talking about what will happen in the last days, NOW! People are following their own desires and twisting and bending the Bible to prove themselves 'right'. But in reality, they are foolishly proving themselves wrong. Even MORE wrong. When we read the Bible, we are allowed to explain its meaning but not prove something you know God wouldn't like. If you know that what you want you want to prove will not agree with Jesus, don't do it! You will have to recall the reason why when you get judged by God! The Bible is the Word of God, and if we bend it It and try to use It to prove the wrong ways or desires we are sinning. The Word of God is like a mustard seed. Teeny! But then it grows to be a humongous tree! When we start with little faith and belief on the Word, we start growing. We get things wrong, God forgives us and He expects us not to do it again. Very soon, with dedication and hard work, we grow to be a huge tree! That mustard seed, to the huge tree. Our own desires are not God's desires. God's plans and desires are good for us and sometimes we let ours go wayward. REAL wayward, sometimes a bit too much. Imagine if we were God! The world would be a harsh place then! Thank goodness God is Who He is! See Jeremiah 29:11 for more on God's plans. God's plans show us the way and Jesus is the way.

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!

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...
