“6 Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me.” John 14:6
Anything that presents itself as truth but yet opposes THE TRUTH is a lie.
GOD loves us. (The Question Is: Do We Love GOD?)
“16 For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life.” John 3:16 (KJV)
The question that each of us must ask ourselves is: “Do I love GOD?”. This question must be answered based on what GOD has said and not what we think or feel. “15 If ye love me, keep my commandments.” John 14:15 (KJV)
If we love GOD, we obey HIM, we follow HIS INSTRUCTIONS, we do what HE SAYS. We do what HE SAYS THE WAY THAT HE SAYS, HIS WAY! Our love for GOD is demonstrated in our obedience. Let’s not fool ourselves. Let’s not let others fool us. Let’s choose to face the truth and embrace THE TRUTH OF GOD’S WORD. Failing to do so could have dire consequences both now and throughout eternity for those who do not love GOD according to HIS HOLY WORD. “21 Not every one that saith unto me, Lord, Lord, shall enter into the kingdom of heaven; but he that doeth the will of my Father which is in heaven.” Matthew 7:21 (KJV)
“7 Submit yourselves therefore to God. Resist the devil, and he will flee from you.” James 4:7 (KJV of The HOLY BIBLE)
Submission to GOD comes before resistance.
In order to submit to GOD, a person has to know what GOD HAS SAID AND IS SAYING. (Yes, GOD IS STILL SPEAKING. It is written in GOD’S HOLY WORD in Malachi 3:6 “For I am the Lord, I change not; “. If GOD SPOKE in days past and HE DOES NOT CHANGE, ACCORDING TO GOD, HE IS STILL SPEAKING. Whoever told you that GOD has stopped speaking is Wrong. The question becomes “whose report will you believe?”) Before you start rebuking, binding and otherwise resisting the devil, invest the time needed in GOD’S HOLY WORD, under the guidance of HOLY SPIRIT, to learn what submission to GOD means. Find out or get more clarity yourself because you will be held accountable for your submission or lack of submission to GOD.
Then before you resist, make sure that you submit to GOD and The Truth of HIS WORD, THE HOLY BIBLE, not your opinions, not your thoughts, not the opinions of others, not the thoughts of others and not any other so called “truth”. Otherwise, you could find yourself painfully disappointed, frustrated and defeated in your efforts to stop the devil’s interference in your life. If we want to operate in GOD’S POWER, we must do things GOD’S WAY!
Have you accepted JESUS CHRIST as your personal Savior?
If so, do you know that HOLY SPIRIT, THE VERY SPIRIT OF THE ONE AND TRUE LIVING GOD, came to live in you the moment that you accepted JESUS CHRIST as your personal savior?
Yes, if you accepted JESUS CHRIST as your personal savior, HOLY SPIRIT lives in you! HOLY SPIRIT is a person. HOLY SPIRIT loves you, wants to comfort you, wants to teach you and wants to help you.
Will you allow HOLY SPIRIT to love, comfort, teach and help you? Look at the scriptures in THE HOLY BIBLE and discover, or rehearse, who HOLY SPIRIT is and what type of relationship HOLY SPIRIT wants to have with you. HOLY SPIRIT wants a relationship with you. Imagine that!
Why not give yourself to nurturing a relationship with HOLY SPIRIT to such an extent that HOLY SPIRIT is your best friend? Imagine having a BEST FRIEND who knows all things and wants to let you know everything that you need to know to a live a life that pleases GOD, a TRIUMPHANT life?
Communicate to HOLY SPIRIT that you want HIM to be your best friend and then treat HOLY SPIRIT as THE BEST FRIEND that HE IS! (Of course HOLY SPIRIT knows your heart but expressing your desire for a relationship with HOLY SPIRIT is beneficial in more than one way. So go ahead and humble yourself and tell HOLY SPIRIT what you are thinking, how you are feeling and what you want. ) Acknowledge, respect, talk to and listen to HOLY SPIRIT. Share your joy and your pain with HOLY SPIRIT. Laugh with HOLY SPIRIT. Go to HOLY SPIRIT with tears because HE IS THE COMFORTER. HOLY SPIRIT wants to and will comfort you in ways that no one else can.
Ask HOLY SPIRIT anything and everything. HOLY SPIRIT has All of the answers and will communicate to you all that you need to know. GOD IS STILL SPEAKING AND HOLY SPIRIT WILL TALK TO YOU!
Thank GOD for giving us HOLY SPIRIT!!!
“7 But the Lord said to Samuel, “Do not look on his appearance or on the height of his stature, because I have rejected him. For the Lord sees not as man sees: man looks on the outward appearance, but the Lord looks on the heart.” ” I Samuel 16:7
What does GOD see when HE looks at your heart?
Let’s not assume that the condition of our hearts are acceptable to GOD. The condition of my heart powerfully impacts the quality of the life that I will lead. The condition of your heart powerfully impacts the quality of the life that you wil lead.
Only the pure in heart shall see GOD. This is true about when we who have accepted JESUS CHRIST as Savior meet GOD face to face in eternity. What about right now in time? I need to “see” GOD now. When I refer to seeing GOD in time, I am referring to several things including comprehending and experiencing GOD to the fullest extent that GOD has made it possible for me to know and experience GOD while I am in time. I want to hear GOD and to be heard by GOD. What about you?
If so:
1) Ask GOD to reveal the condition of your heart. Respond to what GOD reveals.
2) “10 Create in me a clean heart, O God; and renew a right spirit within me.” Psalm 51:10 (KJV)
Ask GOD to create in you a clean heart. (Pray this no matter what you think about the condition of your heart. Humbling yourself before GOD is powerful. There may be things that you do not know. Do what it takes to be in proper position with GOD.)
Each of us is wise to give attention to the condition of our heart. It’s worth it.
“28 Come to me, all who labor and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest. 29 Take my yoke upon you, and learn from me, for I am gentle and lowly in heart, and you will find rest for your souls. 30 For my yoke is easy, and my burden is light.”” Matthew 11:28-:30 (King James Version of THE HOLY BIBLE)
“6 Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me.” John 14:6 (KJV of THE HOLY BIBLE)
“5 Trust in the Lord with all thine heart; and lean not unto thine own understanding.
6 In all thy ways acknowledge him, and he shall direct thy paths.” Proverbs 3:5-:6 (KJV of THE HOLY BIBLE)
In YOUR Holy Word, it is written “16 For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life.
17 For God sent not his Son into the world to condemn the world; but that the world through him might be saved.
18 He that believeth on him is not condemned: but he that believeth not is condemned already, because he hath not believed in the name of the only begotten Son of God.” John 3:16 -:18 (KJV)
“10 For the Son of man is come to seek and to save that which was lost.
JESUS came to seek and Save the lost.” Luke 19:10 (KJV)
FATHER, it is written in your HOLY WORD that we should pray for others.
I Timothy 2:1-:6 (KJV of THE HOLY BIBLE)
“2 I exhort therefore, that, first of all, supplications, prayers, intercessions, and giving of thanks, be made for all men;
2 For kings, and for all that are in authority; that we may lead a quiet and peaceable life in all godliness and honesty.
3 For this is good and acceptable in the sight of God our Saviour;
4 Who will have all men to be saved, and to come unto the knowledge of the truth.
5 For there is one God, and one mediator between God and men, the man Christ Jesus;
6 Who gave himself a ransom for all, to be testified in due time.”
GOD, I pray for all children, youth and young adults. It is YOUR will that all people would be saved and come to know YOU.
“The Lord is not slack concerning his promise, as some men count slackness; but is longsuffering to us-ward, not willing that any should perish, but that all should come to repentance.” 2 Peter 3:9 (KJV)
Your kindness is meant to lead people to repentence. “4 Or do you presume on the riches of his kindness and forbearance and patience, not knowing that God’s kindness is meant to lead you to repentance?” Romans 2:4 (English Standard Version of THE HOLY BIBLE)
It is also written in the bible, YOUR Holy Word, “44 No man can come to me, except the Father which hath sent me draw him: and I will raise him up at the last day.” John 6:45 (KJV)
IN THE PRECIOUS NAME OF JESUS, GOD, I pray that you will draw the lost to you. FATHER GOD, please make YOURSELF simply irristible. Please give the lost an insatiable desire for YOU, YOUR PRESENCE, YOUR WORD AND ALL THINGS “YOU”.
“37 Then saith he unto his disciples, The harvest truly is plenteous, but the labourers are few;
38 Pray ye therefore the Lord of the harvest, that he will send forth labourers into his harvest.” Matthew 9:38 (KJV)
GOD, please send labourers out and cause the lost to cross paths with the lost and to minister your Word and demonstrate THE LOVE OF GOD to each and every one of the lost causing them to accept JESUS as personal SAVIOR. I pray that each and every person who accepts JESUS as Savior goes on to develop a strong personal relationship with GOD.
IN THE NAME OF JESUS, I pray all these things.
