He fights for you!
"For the Lord your God is he that goeth with you, to fight for you against your enemies, to save you." Deuteronomy 20:4 KJV
Do try to do it alone and under your own power. Let the Lord do it!
Indeed, it IS that simple!
One heart one way
"They shall be My people, and I will be their God; and I will give them one heart and one way, that they may fear Me always, for their own good and for the good of their children after them."
Jeremiah 32:38-39 NASB1995
Short and simple: The One Way is Jesus. The people are...
Finding God’s Peace in Life’s Stress
Philippians 4:6-7: "Do not be anxious about anything, but in every situation, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God. And the peace of God, which transcends all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ...
Greetings!
As we ended last week we just added Temperance to our Knowledge, and we're supposed to add Patience to our Temperance.
Everyone can be patient, right? Sitting on a bus waiting to get to or from school, driving your car or truck somewhere, having to sit and wait at red lights...
Greetings! As this walk through what Peter would call "exhorting his readers to make their calling certain, by faith and other virtues", reality bears it's teeth against me to slow it down! Never stop God's Work or His Will though!
So now that we've added knowledge to our virtue, what's next...
I may have missed a week, but God didn't!
In fact, it actually connects with what I intended to discuss! How Wonderful Our God Is In His Plans!
In Peter's words of growth (1 Peter 1:5-8) we are instructed to add to our virtue a vital thing called knowledge. Be aware, however, this knowledge is...
Last week I posted what Simon Peter obviously thought was an important growth procession in which we all should both follow as well as maintain.
Today we will find out why it is so important:
2 Peter 1:9-11 (KJV)
9 But he that lacketh these things is blind, and cannot see afar off, and hath...
2 Peter 1:5-11 (KJV)
5 And beside this, giving all diligence, add to your faith virtue; and to virtue knowledge; 6 And to knowledge temperance; and to temperance patience; and to patience godliness; 7 And to godliness brotherly kindness; and to brotherly kindness charity. 8 For if these things...
Greetings one and all!
Yes it's true, I am a blockhead! I hardly know anything, making me a blockhead. Yet what I do know is as solid as a block!
It has been a LONG time since I was last here. Reality has be wrapped tightly in it's grasp but at least I can breath a little knowing God is in full...
Just a simple verse which has potential to spring up within us hope and faith. Easier to understand and accept if we remember we're not of this world, just in it:
Luk 12:32 (KJV) "Fear not, little flock; for it is your Father's good pleasure to give you the kingdom."
Father of Everything, Maker of All and Sovereign Above Infinite Possibilities,
Please bestow upon me courage enough for the instigation of my business, wisdom enough to trust the decisions made, being made and will be made in my life pursuits and marriage obligations and the ability to bestow...
Today I'd like to use a few verses to verify others.
First the verses to verify:
James 1 (KJV):
2 My brethren, count it all joy when ye fall into divers temptations;
3 Knowing this, that the trying of your faith worketh patience.
4 But let patience have her perfect work, that ye may be perfect...
Act 1:8 (KJV) "But ye shall receive power, after that the Holy Ghost is come upon you: and ye shall be witnesses unto me both in Jerusalem, and in all Judaea, and in Samaria, and unto the uttermost part of the earth."
To those who are aware of the actual meaning behind this statement from our...
Psa 102:28 (KJV) "The children of thy servants shall continue, and their seed shall be established before thee."
David reached out to God for aid many times, and rather deeply in Psalm 102, yet he always held onto the fact no matter what the circumstances looked like, God was still in...
Hey folks, I bring you Good News of Great Joy!
Isa 9:6 (KJV)
"For unto us a child is born, unto us a son is given: and the government shall be upon his shoulder: and his name shall be called Wonderful, Counsellor, The mighty God, The everlasting Father, The Prince of Peace."
While we give and...
James 1:8 (KJV):
"A double minded man is unstable in all his ways."
Sometimes we forget our place. Oh we're focused on the Word of God, making efforts to fulfill The Great Commission and even service to further advance God's Kingdom.
But Satan never strays far from us believers. He'll use every...
It's still there!
Well, the original is, the new one isn't unless the address has changed.
Still running an older version and still quite functional.
Seeing as no one's been on in a while I'm guessing it must have missed activity since when I first logged in there were about 12 zombies (some...
Because of my absence and to promote a positive influence to everyone, let's go back to the beginning:
Genesis 1: 1-2 says:
"1 In the beginning God created the heaven and the earth. 2 And the earth was without form, and void; and darkness was upon the face of the deep. And the Spirit of God...
I began this series of verses to give both myself encouragement through my situations as well as maybe show that even in the most serious of battles (like that which I'm going through) can be turned into Joy. I now come to the bindings which has the potential to not only strengthen our armor...
Now the first thing that pops out at me is Salvation and The Word of God are mentioned at the same time. Coincidence? I think not! The Word of God is, in all cases, The Will of God and His Spirit can indeed cut through anything!
If it is true, and I firmly believe it is, that The Word of God is...
