Standing on the Rock

“That’s the whole story. Here now is my final conclusion: Fear God and obey his commands, for this is everyone’s duty.”
‭‭Ecclesiastes‬ ‭12:13‬ ‭NLT‬


It is everyone duty, as the writer of Ecclesiastes tells us, to fear God and obey His commands. But why doesn't everyone obey them, you may ask? Well, God doesn't FORCE you to follow Him. But when you do follow Him an He has shown himself to you in a miraculous way, no matter what happens, you will keep walking with Jesus and resist that temptation. When you  are where God wants you to be, the Devil will use anything to pull you out of there because he knows that that is a place of healing, deliverance and a place of God. The Devil will use friends, offence, conflict, accidents to stop you from getting to your destinations or to get you out. But these things will come but when you stand firm on the Word of God and the Spirit of Christ is inside you, not one offence, conflict, friend or accident can stop you from being who and where God wants you to be. Satan knows that once God gets you, you will not want to go. So he uses the lures of the world, friends, food, animals, schools-ANYTHING! Always remember: Satan is a whatever it takes being. He will try and try and try, but if you stand on the Word of God he will leave you alone BUT! He will come back, and test you again later in life. Read these verses to learn more about protection against the enemy:
Ephesians 6:13-17
1 Corinthians 10:13
Deuteronomy 31:6

1 Corinthians 10:13 talks about NO temptation overtaking us which is true! Christians who are fully grounded in God's Word do not fall in temptation! Be strong, standing on the Rock Jesus Christ!

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...
