GET SERIOUS!

“For the wrath of man worketh not the righteousness of God.”
James 1:20 KJV
http://bible.com/1/jas.1.20.kjv 
This is one verse which many people don't follow. Don't you know  that we are the righteousness of God? “For he hath made him to be sin for us, who knew no sin; that we might be made the righteousness of God in him.”
2 Corinthians 5:21 KJV
http://bible.com/1/2co.5.21.kjv 
Anger is one of the things that defiles our righteousness, which is why satan likes to make us angry. Anger is not of God, and Satan knows this. When we get angry, we disconnect ourselves from God and satan now has a plug-in point to get us. Anger is one thing that satan uses to destroy us. He is always watching for your weak moment so that he can attack. “Be sober, be vigilant; because your adversary the devil, as a roaring lion, walketh about, seeking whom he may devour:”
1 Peter 5:8 KJV
http://bible.com/1/1pe.5.8.kjv 

But it's not only anger that is a weakness - bitterness, strife, malice, lust, sin and much more! We need to start getting serious with God - because, unless we do, satan will have a very easy path to getting us. But if we're serious with God, it's difficult for satan to harm us.

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!

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...

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...
