The Word Refutes Negativity

The Word of God refutes negativity, stubbornness and fear in us. It's blunt statements correct our thinking. No matter what we are experiencing, the Scriptures direct us on how to think about it. 

We judge God by what we understand through our flesh and challenged minds. The Holy Bible says it will give us understanding because we are simple-minded (Psalm 119:130). We are not simple-minded in a child-like way but in a rebellious, anxiety-ridden and faithless way. 

The Word of God is all-encompassing. Until we leave this world, whenever and however that occurs, it will continue to tell us that all things are possible to whomever can and will believe (Mark 9:23). 

Despite our challenges, barriers, hindrances and handicaps, the Holy Scriptures insist that we can see miracles with faith the size of a mustard seed (Matthew 17:20). That's why when we faithfully put that Word inside of us everyday, we notice over time that we are changing. We are thinking more positively. We feel more hopeful. We believe more. (Romans 12:2) It's the power of The Living Word. 

You don't think that God heals and will heal you? You don't feel that God prospers and will prosper you? You don't believe that God hears you and is making a difference in your life? The Word refutes that. It says the same thing, over and over and over again. 

It says that this is the type of trust that we can put in him, that if we ask anything according to HIS will he hears us. And if we believe that he has heard us, then we know that we have what we have asked him for, (I John 5:14-15) because we asked according to HIS will. Cut and dried. Plain and simple. No ifs, ands or buts.

It does not matter what did not happen for Christians that you know. It does not matter what hasn't happened for you. The Word of God refutes negativity, stubbornness and fear in us. Its message is consistent and unrelenting. The promises in the Word elevate us. The Scriptures lift us to a higher level of thinking and living, closer to and more like Our Father and what he wants for us. 

 

Prayer Before Bible Reading

Dear Father: Thank you for your Word which is a lamp unto my feet and a light unto my path. I thank you that it will take root in the broken up stony ground of my heart and bear much fruit. I know that it will transform me by the renewing of my mind. Help me to rightly divide your Word of Truth so that I can apply it to my life in a practical way. In Jesus' name I pray. Amen!

Weekend Of Renewal

Let this be a weekend of renewed, increased and elevated faith in Our Father and Our Lord & Savior, Jesus Christ. 

We need to hold on with all of our might and build ourselves up in our most holy faith! Jesus loves us and nothing will separate us from God's love.

 

Praying Is Being Aware

~ Praying is being aware of God's presence. It's a silent type of prayer. It's when the feeling passes over us in an instant that we are not alone. It is remembering at any moment of the day or night that God is with us and listening. ~

Pray & Sleep On It

~ Proverbs 15:1 Are you angry, upset or disappointed in someone? Do you want or need to respond to them? Don't do it until you pray. Also, sleep on it for at least one night if possible. It will make a world of difference in your response, your relationship with God and in your Christian walk. ~

Righteousness, Peace & Joy

 ~  The Kingdom of God is righteousness, peace and joy in the Holy Spirit. ~ 

Rom 14:17

Grateful To Know Jesus

 ~ Dear Father: I'm thankful to be in the Kingdom of Your Dear Son. Help me to continue to grow in faith and obedience. In his name I pray. Amen. ~

He's At Our Mercy

 ~ The devil knows our weaknesses and how to push our buttons, but we are not at his mercy. He is at ours. ~

Pray Before Action

 ~ Dear Father: Thank you for leading me to pray before action so that I can divert disaster. In Jesus' name I pray. Amen. ~

Jesus Christ And The Ten Commandments

Without the Ten Commandments we would have never known that we were lost. The Ten Commandments were revealed to us to bring to light that we exist in a sinful state and that we alone can do nothing about it. The Ten Commandments reveal the state of the heart and mind of everyone born on this earth. 

If this situation had never been revealed to us and we had remained ignorant and in darkness, it would not have eliminated the eventuality of our eternal separation from God. We would have become eternally separated from God upon our departure from this earth simply because we did not understand.

Our Father never desired to take anything away from us by giving us Jesus. His desire in sending Jesus Christ here to die for us was so that we would not be separated from him forever. He did not want us to be in darkness forever because of the origin of something that we could not help. 

Satan and his evil helpers blind the minds of every human that is born here. Principalities, powers and rulers of the darkness of this world purposely deceive us into believing that we don't need Jesus. They don't mind if we say we know God, as long as we don't speak of Jesus Christ. Spiritual wickedness in high places deceives us into thinking that we can know God without this Jesus person, who was just a prophet anyway. Evil influence leads us to see the Gospel of Jesus Christ as God taking things from us.

You say that you don't believe in Satan, evil spirits, principalities, powers, rulers of the darkness of this world, spiritual wickedness in high places, demons and fallen angels? That's part of the deception. That's the main feature of the darkness. 

God is a merciful God. He made it easy for anyone to defeat this evil, spiritual army and live in eternal life rather than die in eternal death. He sent his Son, who finished it forever. All anyone has to do is acknowledge Jesus Christ of Nazareth as God's son and the only Savior that mankind has, and confess him as their personal Savior. If you have asked yourself how do I know I believe in Jesus, this is how.

Jesus willingly paid the price for something that we did not understand and could not correct. The revelation is that we have been saved by the love of our God when we acknowledge Jesus and accept him as our Savior. God has not taken from us. Through his loving kindnesses and mercies, he has given to us life and life more abundantly.

I pray that you will be brought into the marvelous light by the truth of what Jesus Christ, the Lamb of God, has done for you.
