Matthew 7.15-16: Beware of false prophets, who come to you dressed as sheep, but inside they are devouring wolves. You will fully recognize them by their fruits. We can’t forget that the devil comes as an angel of light to deceive (2 Cor 11.14), and can perform miracles (Rev 16.14). How do we prevent religious deception? LINE ALL TEACHINGS UP WITH THE WORD OF GOD (1 John 4.1; 1 Th 5.21), and get your theology from the Word of God…
The Importance of the Word of God John 10.3-5 – The watchman opens the door for this man, and the sheep listen to his voice andheed it; and he calls his own sheep by name and brings (leads) them out. When he has brought his own sheep outside, he walks on before them, and the sheep follow him because they know his voice. They will never [on any account] follow a stranger, but will run away from him because they…
Worship is the result of a transparency and intimacy with God that comes as a result of knowing who you are to Him and who He is to you. Just like any relationship, the quality of intimacy will depend on how much you are known and really know that person. The most significant scripture on worship is when Jesus told the Samaritan woman at the well in John 4:23-24: But the hour cometh, and now is, when the true worshippers…
Not understanding the biblical principles that govern prayer has caused many Christians to be ineffective in prayer. The consequence is that such individuals regress from ineffective prayer into the sin of prayerlessness. Such prayerlessness stifles their ability to receive the continuous flow of divine power necessary to be effective in God’s service. It makes them fruitless Christians. If their plight is to be reversed so that their lives become fruitful and effective in God’s service, they must understand just why…
…determines how wisely we live life. Our relationship with God gives us a different perspective on life. We know what matters. We know what lasts and what passes away, and we choose what lasts eternally. And we bring that perspective to every choice we make – whether or not to be trustworthy, whether or not to plan ahead and work with care, whether or not to show compassion, whether or not to pursue our goals with diligence, whether or not…
I love the verbs in Colossians. In the portion of scripture below, there are several things we are to do: 1. KILL evil desires inside you – deaden them; deprive them of power – including inordinate affections (excessive; unrestrained; disorderly passions or desires), covetousness;worthlessness. Have YOU killed those unrestrained or excessive passions and affections inside of you? Have you killed covetousness and cultivated gratitude instead? Have you spent your time and energies in the things of value: your relationship with…
To My Precious Child from Your Heavenly Father: Attached is a new sheet of paper. It has never been written on. I have a special assignment for you today: -Please write anything you want on this paper. This paper is how you want to live today. -Make sure you start with a blank paper. That means leaving any unforgiveness, bad attitudes towards others, bitterness or anger out of it. Give all others a fresh start in your heart, and write…
Don’t you believe that I am in the Father and the Father is in me? What I’m telling you doesn’t come from me. The Father, who lives in me, does what he wants. “I can guarantee this truth: Those who believe in me will do the things that I am doing. They will do even greater things because I am going to the Father. John 14.10, 12 Dear Child, I watch you laboring and fretting and anxiously striving to achieve…
