Listening to God

'I am writing these things to warn you about those who want to lead you astray. But you have received the Holy Spirit, and he lives within you, so you don’t need anyone to teach you what is true. For the Spirit teaches you everything you need to know, and what he teaches is true—it is not a lie. So just as he has taught you, remain in fellowship with Christ.' 1 John 2:26-27 (NLT)

For I have been saved by grace through faith in Christ who died for me and that not of myself it is a gift from God which gives me eternal security in Him. When I was saved I received the anointing of the Holy Spirit and the abiding life of Christ Jesus lives in me which assures me that when I walk in spirit and in truth that I will be guided by Him in all truth and not fulfill the lusts of the flesh.

In walking in spirit I have an advocate with the Father and He promised me that He would send the Helper, the Holy Spirit, and He would teach me all things and remind me of everything that He has taught me. The Spirit searches out everything and shows me God's deep secrets. No one can know God's thoughts except His own Spirit. Those who aren't spiritual cannot receive these truths from God's Spirit.

I am mind, body and spirit. Jesus bought me with His death and sealed me with His Spirit. I am a temple of God and the Spirit of God dwells in me. He put His Holy Spirit in me and causes me to walk in His ways. With the Holy Spirit living inside of me I have everything that I need. The Spirit points me to Jesus and teaches me to say 'yes' to God. I should listen to God. The Spirit points me to Truth and teaches me to say 'no' to the world.

The world wants to lead me astray. 'No!' I do not need to listen to and to accept what the world has to offer nor do I need to be encouraged and taught by false teachers a false gospel. Christ says if you love me keep my commandments. Reason with me. Lean not on your own understanding. Knowing Biblical truths and being able to discern what is false is key to standing firm in this evil day. No one has seen the Father but the one and only Son, who is Himself God and is near to the Father's heart. God Himself says, 'This is my Son, whom I have chosen-listen to Him'.

Dear Father. Thank you Lord for abiding in me and for teaching me all things. I will remain in fellowship with Christ. I will abide in You Lord. In Jesus name. Amen.

'When I saw him, I fell at his feet like a dead man. He placed his right hand on me and said, “Do not be afraid. I am the First and the Last—  the Living One. I was dead and, see, I am alive forever and ever! I also hold the keys of death and hell .' Revelation 1:17-18 (EHV) Dear Father.  Because of You and who You are I do not fear. You are Divine. You are Eternal. You are God. You were here before the world began and will be here at the end. Thank You, Father, for sending Your Son Jesus Christ, the Living One, to die for me. I recognized that I was a sinner and I made Jesus Lord of my life. Though You suffered and died, I know that Jesus lives and that He is my life source. Without Him I am nothing. He has complete authority. He has the power over life and death. He controls not only when I die but where I will go after I die as well.You comfort me with Your Word.  Let me be forever grateful and obey Your Word and live my life for Him. Jesus, You alone hav

Sending Out Invitations to the Concert

'We are confident that God is able to orchestrate everything to work toward something good and beautiful when we love Him and accept His invitation to live according to His plan. ' Romans 8:28 (VOICE) One example of God's love can be seen in the book of Esther. Lessons from the Bible can reassure us of God's love for us and they show us that His ways are good and so much higher than our own. How powerful. In Chapter three, the evil ideas of Haman, to have all the Jews exterminated, had been decreed by the king, and the money set aside in an account for the diabolical deeds and the date was set on the calendar for the bloodshed! That part is so incredible, that one man was given that much power. Just imagine it if you were a Jew. The date for the destruction of your entire race was set and the preparations to follow through with it were being made. Thankfully, our God is greater. Our God is able. He is able to confuse the bad plans of men in power. O

  ' Then Nebuchadnezzar was furious with Shadrach, Meshach and Abednego, and his attitude toward them changed. He ordered the furnace heated seven times hotter than usual' Daniel 3:19 (NIV) To the leaders that are unprepared for the likes of young people full of passion. For the wicked rulers who demand men to bow a knee to them, and worship them like gods. To the world that has lost its way and punishes the faithful to the extreme, even death. We pray for thee. Let the world know that we worship no one but the One True God. Amen. Dear Father We pray for evil leaders that desire to turn their nation into evil. We lift up righteousness and righteous leaders, we lift You up. You are the One True God in whom we serve. You are the Holy God in whom we believe. You provide the God-fearing leaders that we need when we need them. We pray for those leaders. We pray for more people with courage to refuse to bow the knee to mere man. Even when we live in times when there seem
