Psalm 1

Comments 2 comments

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…

Don’t Worry

Comments 0 Comment

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…

Get Behind Me Satan

Comments 2 comments

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…

The Lord is Gracious

Comments 2 comments

Peter tells us that the cares of this world are temporary, but the word of God is eternal (1 Peter 1:25). We can lay wrong thinking aside and taste that the Lord is gracious. Desire more of Him and His word like a newborn baby wants milk. Wherefore laying aside all malice, and all guile, and hypocrisies, and envies, and all evil speakings, As newborn babes, desire the sincere milk of the word, that ye may grow thereby: If so be ye have tasted that the Lord is gracious. 1 Peter 2:1-3 A Growing Baby Desires Milk The only time you will see a crying newborn baby…

My Salvation Story

Comments 0 Comment

I tried reading the Bible for years before I heard the gospel spelled out for me in a way that I could understand. The Bible did not make any sense to me, and I did not understand how to be saved or even what that meant! This is my salvation story. Various religious-looking people had crossed my path, but no one could help! They had no life in them to give me! They were religious hypocrites too. We were deceived!…

The Tree of Knowledge of Good and Evil

Comments 0 Comment

I have never told my children that if they play around my car or the stove I am going to kill them. I have lovingly warned them that the car or stove could harm them. It could even kill them! They needed to grow to a certain level of maturity or “of full age” before I could let them experience the full benefit of these wonderful tools without my loving supervision. I believe that is similar to the tree of…

Grace Be To You and Peace

Comments 2 comments

Fourteen verses in the King James Bible specifically say that grace and peace are from God the Father and His Son Jesus. This exhortation is specifically from God our Father and our Lord Jesus Christ. The authors of these letters are being inspired by God, the Holy Spirit, to encourage the church. God wants us to know His grace and peace are being poured out or lavished upon us! Wow! “Grace be to you and peace from God our Father…

Stop Fighting Addiction

Comments 0 Comment

Addiction is real. Whether it’s food, sex, drugs, alcohol, etc. It is miserable and it is real. The good news is that if you are struggling with addiction, you can stop fighting addiction today, right now. It’s Not All In Your Head When I began studying Dr. Jason Fung’s books about Diabetes and Obesity and other dietary diseases, I began finding out that our bodies react to our actions. When Dr. Fung explained that we are not fighting willpower but…

A Living Sacrifice

Comments 0 Comment

Romans 12 starts out telling us to present our bodies a living sacrifice, holy, acceptable unto God. Paul goes on to say that this is our “reasonable service.” Thank God verse two starts with the word “and,” because it is frustrating to hear a command in the Bible, and not know how to obey it. But Be Transformed We present ourselves as a living sacrifice the same way we don’t conform to this world. We renew our minds. God gives…

LUKE 10:18 SATAN FELL FROM HEAVEN.

Comments 0 Comment

Who is Jesus talking to? In “Luke 10:18, Jesus was talking to the “the seventy” of His disciples that had “returned again with joy.” The disciples had said, “Lord, even the devils are subject unto us through your name,” Jesus is telling them, “That’s no big deal, Satan fell from heaven like lightning.” Satan is a defeated foe. Jesus tells these same disciples in the very next verse, “Behold, I give unto you power to tread on serpents and scorpions,…
