We don’t really need to be reminded that life is hard. The Bible tells us that in this life we will have trials and tribulations. I had believed for years that those trials and tribulations came from God as a way of teaching us a lesson or punishment for not living up to His standards. Now I am so thankful that I know that God wants to use His Word to teach us. And He lets us know that we have a real enemy that…
The Holy Spirit speaks to me from WORDS on a page. For this post, the word was ARMOUR. And that word led me to the question, “Where is your armour?” Seeking the answer to this question led me down a path of new understanding and revelations of what is MINE in CHRIST through HIS ARMOUR. Then, I was led to this song with the title THE ARMOUR. THE ARMOUR – The lyrics touched my heart >> And the best way to get back…
The following verses are really just shocking! Matthew 4:5,8 each makes the statement that the devil takes Jesus up! But the Holy Spirit didn’t “take” Jesus; He led Him. How did the devil take Jesus anywhere? In His mind? Maybe. But, the Holy Spirit physically led Jesus into the wilderness to be tempted by the devil. I am thankful Jesus’ example is recorded in the Bible because now I know how to submit to God who does NOT force Himself…
Psalm 1 gives us some excellent wisdom from God that we can only fully understand through the Revelation of our Lord and Savior, Jesus. Let’s walk through Psalm 1 in light of this awesome revelation and its absolute relevance for believers and warning for the ungodly today. Blessed is the man that walketh not in the counsel of the ungodly, nor standeth in the way of sinners, nor sitteth in the seat of the scornful. Psalm 1:1 Don’t Go There Jesus hung out with the worst sinners and was even accused…
Only, if you choose to submit to God is He in control of your life. James 4:7 tells us to submit to God first and then says to resist the devil who will flee from us. Why is this so important? Is God in control of your life? What does it even look like to submit to God? First, we have to spend time with Him developing an intimate relationship with Him. I am so thankful that you are reading…
Today is already a very happy birthday for me. It is actually already the best and most happy birthday I have ever had. Before I can tell you how awesome this day is already, I must tell you about the month-long battle that has been raging in my mind. Everybody is Going Through Something! First, I know that we are all at war. We are all going through something because Jesus Himself tells us that in this world we will…
Isn’t it much easier to say “Don’t worry” than to do it! This is especially true for those who don’t realize we are in a spiritual battle. I am writing this with a heavy heart and so much running through my head. Watching “Stop Worry From Choking Your Assignment” (May 23, 2021), by Pastor Tafara Butayi, Faith Hill Church, a nondenominational, bible-believing church based in Johannesburg, South Africa, helped tremendously. Obviously, there is a reason I chose this title. I…
We can know and prove the will of God.
“And be not conformed to this world: but be ye transformed by the renewing of your mind, that ye may prove what [is] that good, and acceptable, and perfect, will of God. – Rom 12:2 KJV”
Prayer is a misunderstood and daunting task for many. Therefore, this Prayer Journal page is a quick resource and reference. Have confidence in praying biblical prayers. Jesus taught His disciples to pray to “our Father” and to pray in His name and His will. Prayer is Powerful Praying always with all prayer and supplication in the Spirit, and watching thereunto with all perseverance and supplication for all saints; – Ephesians 6:18 KJVAnd this I pray, that your love may abound…
Why did Jesus say “Get behind Me, Satan” when He was rebuking Peter? I thought God is love (1 John 4:8), and love is patient and kind (1 Corinthians 13:4-7)! But when he had turned about and looked on his disciples, he rebuked Peter, saying, Get behind me Satan: for thou savourest not the things that be of God, but the things that be of men. Mark 8:33, Matthew 16:23 Love is Kind “Get behind me Satan!” was the kindest thing Jesus could have said to Peter! Peter was being deceived by the enemy and trying to get…
