Romans 8:24-25 For we are saved by hope: but hope that is seen is not hope, for what a man seeth, why doth he yet hope for, but if we hope for that we see not, then do we with patience wait for it.
Job: 1:8-9 And the lord said onto satan, hast thou considered my servant job, that there is none like him in the earth, a perfect and an upright man, one that feareth God, and escheweth evil? Job was a man that loved the lord and he walked upright before him. Job had everything a man could want in this life. Job was put to the test, his love for God, or his love for things. The devil was trying to prove that job loved God because of the things God gave him, not because he was God. God knew job’s heart, and he was going to prove to the devil that he was wrong. Job was in the middle of a challenge, between God and the devil. Our love for God is being challenge by satan every day, he wants to prove that our love for God is based on the things that God gives us, more then loving him for being God. If you love God for who he is, then lets prove the devil wrong, and not get caught up in things, but get caught up in God, the things will follow. Can God count on you.
55 psalm 6-9verse , and i said, oh that i had wings like a dove! for then would i fly away, and be at rest, then would i wander far off, and remain in the wilderness. Selah. I would hasten my escape from the windy storm and tempest. A storm is a disturbance in the atmosphere accompanied by strong winds ranging from 65-70 even sometime 80 miles per hour.There are different types of storms, Rain- snow- wind- hail storms. we have a meteorologist that can tell you what type of a storm, when where and how. It gives you a chance to prepare for the strom. The strom that David was going through, wasn’t a rain – snow – hail storm, it was a spiritual storm. Know one can prepare you for this type of storm, the storms of life. David remembered that he wrote the 23: psalms, the lord is my shepherd i shall not want. He also remembered he wrote the 27: psalms, the lord is my light and my salvation: whom shall i fear? the lord is the strenght of my life; of whom shall i be afraid. David also remembered he wrote the 37: psalms, fret not thyself because of evildoers, neither be thou envious against the workers of iniquity. for they shall soon be cut down like the grass and wither as the green herb. The lord will be your sheperd,you will not want for anything. don’t fret nor be afraid.
Do not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind, that you may prove what is that good and acceptable and perfect will of God (Romans 12:2) What do these commands mean, repent, be transformed mean to anyone who wishes to be a part of the church of God? The word repent, translated from the greek metanoeo, literally means “to perceive afterwards. the word repent conveys the concept that one must recognize and admit his sins and acknowledge the need to change his mind, heart and behavior. The word converted is translated from the greek epistrepho, which means “to turn about” toward conversion. It indicates that, in addition to recognizeing and acknowledging sin, one is taking the necessary action to turn away from sin by turning toward God. This requires doing what is right, not just acknowledging what wrong.
The scripture said he who win souls is wise,God is concern about saving souls, God dosn’t want any soul to be lost. The scripture also said,confess the Lord Jesus Christ with your mouth and believing with your heart that God had raised Jesus from the dead ye shall be save.It is easy to get saved,staying saved is the problem. preachers are teaching once saved always saved, is not true. If you are not careful the devil can rob and steal your soul, or you can sell your soul and don’t know it. The scripture said if it were possible he the (devil) would fool the very elect. those that don’t have the Holy Spirit will be fooled. He can fool us, but he can’t fool God. When you open a savings account at a bank, you must continue putting money in your account, or else your account will close. It is the same way with your soul,you have to continue to feed and guard your soul, that means putting security on your soul. The scripture said put on the whole armour of God that you may be able to stand against the wiles of the devil. When you pray everyday ask God to forgive you of sin’s that you know not of , their are some sin’s we committe that we some times don’t know of. That is called putting security on your soul.
The Devils number one weapon that he uses to distract you from doing the will of God is fear. He knows that if he can get you to fear, and be afraid to stand on the word of God, you havn’t got a chance in this world. The scripture said God didn’t give us the spirit of fear but of power, love and of a sound mind. Don’t let the devil put fear and doubt in your mind, you can do it, just stand on the word of God. 1John 4:4 said greater is he that is in you then he that is in the world
The lord our god spake unto us in ho’reb, saying ye have dwelt long enough in this mount. Behold, i have set the land before you: go in and possess the land which the lord promised your fathers. This text is telling us not to go in circles as if we havn’t any directions. go and possess that dream, that hope, that desire. Trust in the God that is in you and he will make it happen.
The devil is robbing the church, the body of christ, of it’s love. It’s not about people any more, it’s about me mine’s and the great (I). If we would follow the teaching of christ, to love one another as christ has loved us, the world would be a better place to live. People in the church are to busy trying to be recognized by people, instead of being recognized by God. We are to concern about titles and positions, until we are not able to see the leaves for the trees.
The Holy Spirit is that little voice inside you that guides your life according to God’s word.
Prayer is the most important aspect of life.
