What Spirit?

The one who keeps God’s commands lives in him, and he in them. And this is how we know that he lives in us: We know it by the Spirit he gave us.

We know, according to 2 Timothy 1:7, that God has not given us a Spirit if fear. Alright then, what Spirit has God given us? Well, let's read: 
“God didn’t give us a cowardly spirit but a spirit of power, love, and good judgment.”
2 Timothy 1:7 GW
http://bible.com/70/2ti.1.7.gw 

So, it is a Spirit of power, love and good judgement. What power has he given us? Well, the Bible says that Jesus lives in us and we are in Him. Which means we also have the power of Jesus, to heal, deliver and save others. The power in Christ is incomprehensible and is our weapon to defeat Satan. This power must be kept running; like petrol is needed for a car. Our 'petrol' is the Word and our oil is prayer. But it's not just reading the Word. It is understanding it by revelation, which you can only get through the Holy Spirit. Let Him guide your thoughts as you meditate on His Word today.

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!

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...

Hold onto Faith

Verse: "We don't fight against the people on this earth, but against the powers, principalities and against the rulers of darkness in the spiritual realm" - Ephesians 6:12 Message: Many people blame each other for tragedies that have happened to them or their relatives. But we have only one adversary: Satan and his agents. Why? Let scripture answer that: "And the god of this world (Satan) has blinded the minds of unbelievers, so that they cannot see the light of the gospel that displays the glory of Christ, who is the image of God." - 2 Corinthians 4:4 But we are not of the world, but are in it to save those who are lost: " The world would love you if you belonged to it; but you don’t—for I chose you to come out of the world, and so it hates you." - John 15:19 Most people have different excuses for why we should be of the world instead of Jesus. Here are a few with biblical answers: 1. I get laughed at. And my friend left me. Jesu...
