Part 2 - Understanding the Word of God

“I have treasured your promise in my heart so that I may not sin against you.”
Psalms 119:11 GW

We need to be like David, and store God's promise, His Word, in our hearts NOT in our minds. There are many people who preach with information from there head. But we shouldn't be speaking from information stored in our head. God cannot use us if we are still living and working in our five senses? We cannot! We have to understand God by spirit, like I said in an earlier post. It's like a book written in Greek; you need to know Greek to read it. It's the same with the Word of God! Because God is Spirit, and He is His Word, you need to be spiritual and understand His Word by revelation.  
“Obey my commands so that you may live. Follow my teachings just as you protect the pupil of your eye. Tie them on your fingers. Write them on the tablet of your heart.”
Proverbs 7:2-3 GW
http://bible.com/70/pro.7.2-3.gw

We can only follow God's teachings if we UNDERSTAND them, by being in Spirit. But how do I be in Spirit? Through prayer and meditation (on God's Word). Meditate means to think through and connect with God. Start to think about what the verse means, how does it affect you etc. Then start to pray in tongues start to use commanding prayer and break the hold of Satan in your life. Understanding God's Word, very important!

Humble Is Best!

Direct my footsteps according to your Word; let no sin rule over me. Psalm 119:133  |  NIV   We need to let God's Word rule our lives, directing our footsteps on our journey through life. God is our Director leading us-even of the path LOOKS right, it doesn't mean it IS right. God knows best so we shouldn't be no-it-alls. Humble your self!

What makes faith work? Learn MORE about faith in this devotional...

"That according to the riches of His glory, He may grant you to be strengthened with power through His Spirit in your inner being, so that Christ may dwell in your hearts through faith..." - Ephesians 3:16-17 KJV Okay. I wanted to talk a little bit more on faith. When Paul writes 'dwell in your hearts through faith' what does it mean? This means that we have to show our confidence and belief in Christ, before He comes into our hearts. He knows when we want to trick Him or not. So don't bother being cunning! Because wisdom comes from the Lord! So, if our human efforts cannot make faith to work, what can? (Zechariah 4:6) Our confidence and belief in Jesus! We just have to say, "Jesus, take care of this for me. I don't want to any more. I can't do it by my own power." Acknowledging that you can't do it alone, gives you the first step forward. Then comes the hard bit. When I mean hard, I mean HARD. Because most people people fall away aft...

Why remain pure? Learn about pureness in this amazing devotional....

Key = Blue = Scripture  Red = Answers to questions  Green = Verses to read in your spare time. Black = Normal post Bold = Question  "Call unto Me, and I will answer you, and show you great and mighty things, which you do not know." - Jeremiah 33:3.  Many people either don't believe in God, or become atheists, partly because of this question: Why doesn't God answer some of my prayers?  Answer: This is because of your heart. Before you ask this question you must ask yourself, am I pure? Have I sinned by mistake and need forgiveness? Or are my thoughts starting to make my light darken? Ask yourself these questions and their surely will be an answer.  But why must I ask myself these questions?  " So flee youthful passions and pursue righteousness, faith, love, and peace, along with those who call on the Lord from a pure heart" - 2 Timothy 2:22    If we are not thinking good thoughts or have sinned by mistake or not, we have sta...
