We Need God

“If a man abide not in me, he is cast forth as a branch, and is withered; and men gather them, and cast them into the fire, and they are burned.”
John 15:6 KJV

Many of us are struggling with living as Christians, and this is one of the reasons why. It's because we aren't abiding in Jesus, and we think we can live a life in the flesh and walk with God. This is not possible, and will never work. We don't leave everything to God and instead let our pride take over and we say to God 'I don't need you'. But we don't understand that without Him we wouldn't be here today. Jesus described us as an adulterous generation, in Matthew 16:4. “A wicked and adulterous generation seeketh after a sign; and there shall no sign be given unto it, but the sign of the prophet Jonas. And he left them, and departed.”
Matthew 16:4 KJV

When Jesus says adulterous here, He's not talking about adultery as we think. You see, as the Bride, we should be married to Jesus, correct? But sometimes we push Jesus away and then follow after sin. Then when trouble comes, we moan, 'Why, why, God?'. If we continue to abide in the Vine, He will continue to fight for us and we will walk in the light as He is in the light.

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...

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 is the wisdom of the world to God? FOOLISHNESS!

“For the wisdom of this world is foolishness with God. For it is written, He taketh the wise in their own craftiness.” 1 Corinthians 3:19 KJV http://bible.com/1/1co.3.19.kjv You see, for new born believers, it takes a while for the fact that they cannot be loved by or be part of the world. Unfortunately, this is usually found out after devastating consequences. In this chapter of 1 Corinthians, verse 19, Paul talks about the Wisdom of God being foolishness to the world. This portrays the relationship between a Christian and the world. THEIR SHOULD'NT BE ONE. No-one can sit on the fence. For those of you trying, you still will belong to the darkness. Until you take a step of faith to reach the light, you and your darkness remain. After becoming a Christian, you are made holy. But maintenance and discipline are needed to keep the holiness and remain pure. People begin to defile this holiness by continuing and re-doing their past life! Don't follow them! Remain pure!  ...
