The Sacred

'All Scripture is inspired by God and is useful for teaching, for showing people what is wrong in their lives, for correcting faults, and for teaching how to live right.' 2 Timothy 3:16 (NCV)


 So then, as far as scripture goes, it is all a revelation of God through men and women that Holy Spirit inspired to write for us and therefore it is good for teaching and showing people how to live.

The Bible. It is sacred. It is practical. It is worth studying. The Scriptures are more precious than gold. Men have died to get its message out to others. There can be no greater reference. God gives us Life and He gives us Light and with it comes responsibility. We are to know more than this one verse, but He gives us 66 Books to teach us!

As for prophecy, how could the authors have known about Jesus Christ long before He was born if not for God's inspiration? 

And as for the historical record that has been proven and that gives us an accurate report of man and civilization back six thousand years and even more, how could its antiquity have been kept and not lost without God's Holy Spirit.

The Word is most assuredly God-breathed. I love that! Just the thought of it gives me joy and inner peace in the sense that what I hold in my hand is the most valuable thing I could ever own. The Bible is Alive and just as God gave me the breath of Life when I was born, God also breathed through the writers that He inspired then to bring Jesus alive and also breathes through the readers while it is being read now.

The Word says 'The Spirit of the Lord spoke by me and His Word was in my tongue'. You are faithful to watch over Your Word. God breathed Himself out in His Word and I can breath Him in when I pray and read His Word. His Word becomes alive in me that way. I receive life when I read it. It is fresh and new and it renews me every morning.

As for the Bible, it is God's Word to me. He speaks through it to me. His Word became flesh and it reveals His Son Jesus Christ so that I might have a personal relationship with Him and get to know Him as my Savior. Through His death and resurrection He became the holy-breath, the life-giving Spirit.

Dear Father
Thank you for Your Sacred Life-giving Word. Thank you for the breath that You have given me. Bind the plans of the enemy and spirit of death to steal the breath from Your children this year. Loose the Spirit of healing and health of heaven. Give us back our breath! Let us speak the same Words of Life that you do.
In Jesus's name.
Amen.

The Day of the Lord Approaches

' not forgetting to gather as a community, as some have forgotten, but encouraging each other, especially as the day of His return approaches.' Hebrews 10:25 (VOICE) Days of future trials are coming and yet are here. Last days. The day of His return approaches. No one knows the hour. So we are told to be even more diligent in our calling. We should be always watching, praying and bringing a word of encouragement to one another through the power of God. For what signs and wonders happen in the House of the Lord! Oh so amazing. The Miraculous. God provides the Fire. The battle is the Lords. We are told not to fret but only to enjoy the ride as we thank Him. So as I pray I want to thank you Lord. I am totally devoted to You. Equip me to preach the gospel. Now is the time and I will not forget my mission. As I arise I will not forget to put on my Full Armor of God. I will cling to your Bible. I am committed to carry it with me. I will hold it up as a sword in the town ...

The Look

Image
' Looking straight into their eyes, Jesus replied, “Humanly speaking, no one, because no one can save himself . But what seems impossible to you is never impossible to God!”' Matthew 19:26 (TPT) So if the poor deal with envy and the rich with pride, who then can get in? Who can be saved? None, except through the grace of God. Only God can save us. Only God can change the hearts and minds of men. Nothing is impossible to Him.  Dear Father Thank you for loving us and sending us Your Son Jesus our Savior even while we were yet sinners. When we were sinners You pursued us and turned our hearts toward You.  With just one look You could see into our souls. You knew what we needed. You did what needed to be done. You did the thing that seemed impossible to man. You perfected a Way for us to be reconciled to You and even with our sinful natures. You made converts out of us. It's nothing we could have done on our own without You. We could never doubt You. You cleaned us ...

A Warrant to Believe

' By “the Lord” what I mean is the Spirit, and in any heart where the Spirit of the Lord is present, there is liberty.' 2 Corinthians 3:17 (VOICE ) Holy Spirit thou art welcome in this place. For wherever the Spirit is there is Life and Liberty. The Spirit brings with it freedom. Joy. Believers, we are blessed. God is gracious. Through the Cross, He has given us a way to be free from the law of sin and death. The veil between us and God has been lifted. The Holy Spirit brings the Light of Christ which illuminates and frees us from former blindness and darkness. The Spirit brings regeneration and sanctification as we are changed and made more like Christ everyday. We are free to walk in the ways of the Lord. Oh how we need thee this very hour Holy Spirit. Issue to us a warrant not as in the world and its laws, but of the gospel to believe. We do believe in You. Thank You Lord! Dear Father We repent to You this day, that we have failed to seek more of You. You kno...
