Word!
Josh.1:8 Study this Book of Instruction continually. Meditate on it day and night so you will be sure to obey everything written in it. Only then will you prosper and succeed in all you do.
You and I need to read, study, memorize, meditate on and speak the Word of God. We need to be more deliberate about putting God’s Word in the hearts and mouths of our children. The mind of a child is like a sponge, it Read the rest of this entry
Lethal Weapon
Num.14:28 (KJV) “Say unto them, As truly as I live, saith the Lord, as ye have spoken in mine ears, so will I do to you”
Yesterday we established that it is the Word of God in our mouths that is lethal and not the printed Word. God’s Word is written in the Bible, but God’s Word does not become the sword of the Spirit until it is spoken from Read the rest of this entry
Superior Fire Power
2 Cor.10:3 “We are human, but we don’t wage war as humans do. 4 We use God’s mighty weapons, not worldly weapons, to knock down the strongholds of human reasoning and to destroy false arguments”
Acts 1:8 “But you will receive power when the Holy Spirit comes upon you. And you will be my witnesses, telling people about me everywhere—in Jerusalem, throughout Judea, in Samaria, and to the ends of the earth.” When Read the rest of this entry
Truth Kernel
1Pet.1:23 “For you have been born again, not of perishable seed, but of imperishable, through the living and enduring word of God” [with emphasis]
We are children of God. The truth of God is in our DNA. It is the seed of God in us. An illustration is, a man has intercourse with his wife and unknown to them, the woman conceives immediately.
Engrafted
1Pet.1:23 “For you have been born again, not of perishable seed, but of imperishable, through the living and enduring word of God” [with emphasis]
Yesterday, we talked about the two types of truth abusers, which are the naïve and the brutal truth abusers. You have to know which one you are tilted towards. I am tilted just a little bit to the brutal.
Open Eyes
Ps. 34:12 “Does anyone want to live a life that is long and prosperous? 13 Then keep your tongue from speaking evil and your lips from telling lies! 14 Turn away from evil and do good. Search for peace, and work to maintain it.”
It is not enough to pride in yourself that you do not tell lies. Listening to lies is equally as dangerous because the spirit of delusion is lurking in the corner waiting for an open door.
To Action
Dan.9:2 “During the first year of his reign, I, Daniel, learned from reading the word of the Lord, as revealed to Jeremiah the prophet” [with emphasis]
Our scripture reference today shows us that Daniel did not have the answers. But Daniel learned from reading Books – the Word of the Lord in the Book of Jeremiah. Bottom line, Daniel was really smart but he still had to read. Read the rest of this entry
Bank
Pr.18:15 (LB) “The intelligent man is always open to new ideas – in fact, he looks for them” [with emphasis].
Today, we will begin with the concluding thought from yesterday’s devotional on the sources of ideas. The first source of ideas is God’s Word and the second source is Wise People. You are the average of the five people you spend the most time with. Read the rest of this entry
Never Stop!
Prov. 15:14 (GN) “Intelligent people want to learn, but stupid people are satisfied with ignorance” [with emphasis]
The next N in Solomon’s six winning ways is Never Stop Learning. God’s Word states that, “Intelligent people want to learn, but stupid people are satisfied with ignorance.” Many people are brain dead and they have closed minds. Read the rest of this entry
Lead-That-Sheep!
1 Tim. 5:8 “If anyone does not provide for his relatives, and especially for his immediate family, he has denied the faith, and is worse than an unbeliever.” [with emphasis]
God has not left us guessing about His heart or His position when it comes to work. So, we cannot say we do not know His mind because it is clearly stated. You and I need to order our lives after His Word. Read the rest of this entry
