I was a hypocrite. One foot was in grace and mercy and the goodness of God that leads to repentance. But I had the other foot and both hands bound in trying to please God with my own dead works and self-righteousness.
Then I learned that those who truly fear the Lord don’t accuse Him of evil.
Why would we want to die to ourselves when Jesus not only loves us enough to die for us, but He really like us too! Come to Jesus and come alive!!!
We cannot move God to do something He has already done. I receive from God by believing Him. Do you believe that you already have it? Believe Therefore I say unto you, What things soever ye desire, when ye pray, believe that ye receive [them], and ye shall have [them]. – Mark 11:24 KJV Jesus told the disciples after they marveled about the fig tree withering away, “Have faith in God (Mark 11:22).” He tells them and us that we shall…
This is a funny story from November 17, 2021. Jesus IS hilarious and so much fun. He promises to be with His children always and to never leave them or forsake them (Hebrews 13:5). This includes all of His promises being yes and amen (2 Corinthians 1:20) for those of us who are in Christ Jesus! If He was able to put a hedge of protection around Job (Job 1:10) who was probably not included in any covenant with God,…
We can learn to abide among the wise and abhor evil by reading and meditating on the Proverbs daily. Isn’t it convenient that there is a chapter for every day of the month! Being a wife and mother, I read the second part of Proverbs 31 pretty often. See, God gives us the desires of our hearts. That is why we all really deep down desire to be the best! When we delight ourselves in Him, He brings those desires…
Do you know your enemy? Football coaches and players study the teams they are planning to compete with. Warriors send in spies to study the enemy and report back to make battle plans. Christians have a lot of information recorded for them in the Bible about who the enemy is and what he is up to. The Bible is a progressive revealing of Jesus, His will, and thanks to the enemy and our rebellion, God’s plan of redemption! None of…
When I got born again (John 3:3,7, 1 Peter 1:23) in 2007/08 I was a fat mess! Literally! I weighed 230-250 pounds easily. I had been overweight or fighting it for most of my life. Our family of six lived in a three-bedroom single-wide mobile home on someone else’s property. I was a straight HEATHEN! I didn’t want to be a heathen. My mother and grandmother raised me, and I was not raised by heathens. My wonderful husband was not…
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…
When I saw the title of this song, it immediately drew me in. I had to press the PLAY button. From the beginning to the end of this song, my emotions went on a roller coaster ride of memories of Psalm 34:17 When the righteous cry for help, the Lord hears and delivers them out of all their troubles. There are 100 BIBLE VERSES relating to the phrase FALL ON MY KNEES related to PRAYER. Reading through the 100 opened my eyes…
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…
