Ye are my witnesses:  Why?

Isaiah: 43:10-11

Ye are my witnesses, saith the LORD, and my servant whom I have chosen: that ye may know and believe me, and understand that I am he: before me there was no God formed, neither shall there be after me.     I, even I, am the LORD; and beside me there is no saviour.”


Isaiah: 41. 10. Fear thou not; for I am with thee: be not dismayed; for I am thy God: I will strengthen thee; yea, I will help thee; yea, I will uphold thee with the right hand of my righteousness. – Bible Offline

Isaiah: 41. 13. For I the LORD thy God will hold thy right hand, saying unto thee, Fear not; I will help thee. 14. Fear not, thou worm Jacob, and ye men of Israel; I will help thee, saith the LORD, and thy redeemer, the Holy One of Israel. – Bible Offline

Isaiah: 41. 17. When the poor and needy seek water, and there is none, and their tongue faileth for thirst, I the LORD will hear them, I the God of Israel will not forsake them. 18. I will open rivers in high places, and fountains in the midst of the valleys: I will make the wilderness a pool of water, and the dry land springs of water. 19. I will plant in the wilderness the cedar, the shittah tree, and the myrtle, and the oil tree; I will set in the desert the fir tree, and the pine, and the box tree together: 20. That they may see, and know, and consider, and understand together, that the hand of the LORD hath done this, and the Holy One of Israel hath created it. – Bible Offline

The Gifts for building His Church

 

 

 

 

This is a post I used to teach my Bible class about the Gifts of the Spirit,  primarily  the difference between our prayer language and tongues and interpretation.

Please comment, ask questions or disagree.   Thanks

GIFTS OF GOD I am going to try to explain to my Bible class why the Lord gave us these gifts.  Please comment and advise.  Of course I will be explaining and answering questions as we go. The Gifts…

I JESUS IS ALIVE AND WELL IN THE OLD TESTAMENT

 

This was my first post and the reason I started this blog.  Please disregard spelling errors and leave comments.   Thanks for stopping by.

The Bible is an amazing book, we can read it, memorize it, even believe we understand it and then one day God opens our eyes and old things pass away, the word becomes new.  Suddenly we begin to un…

How deep is your Faith:  theunfetteredpreacher

When I was young in the Lord, I was quick to judge.  I would decide who was a real Christian and who was lacking.  (lol… foolish, I know).

He’s not really a Christian, he smokes, or swears, he doesn’t attend  church 3 services a week. His attitude is bad.  He is not nice.

How can they  love the Lord.  They are not as holy, set apart, as special as me.  They don’t have much fruit.

As I’ve grown, I have begun to  understand the Love of God is bigger than my beliefs. 

Salvation isn’t a test of wheather you sin or not.  (We all do).

It isn’t a race to see who has the most fruit.  Or who is the most holy.

Salvaton is simply accepting Jesus as Lord and Savior.  If we have, we are covered by His blood, We are the righteousness of God in Christ Jesus.

Now, I accept there are those who believe, who walk a less than wonderful example of His love and grace than others, but;

It is Faith that saves us. Foolishness, to those who do not believe. To us the power of God.

How deep our faith is, is our personal choice.  I write this blog, hoping that it will draw people closer to the Lord.  Deeper in faith, stronger in the Lord.

To make them realize Gods promises are real and avalible to those who believe, seek and except them.  In hopes they will desire more.

In “Elisha, a man of God 1:”  I commented how bold and taste less it was for him to ask for a double portion of Elijahs anointing.

It wasn’t;  The Lord tells us to come boldly to the throne of grace, to receive mercy and grace in our time of need.

He tells us to covet earnestly the best Gifts, (of the Spirit), the one we need right NOW, is the best one, right NOW.   Healing, Prayer, a Miracle, a Word of Wisdom or Knowledge, Faith…

We deside how to build our faith.

Luke 6:4

He is like a man which built an house, and digged deep, and laid the foundation on a rock: and when the flood arose, the stream beat vehemently upon that house, and could not shake it: for it was founded upon a rock.”

Have we dug deep, do we understand this simple fact?

Psalm 135:6

Whatsoever the Lord pleased, that did he in heaven, and in earth, in the seas, and all deep places.”

The Lord doesn’t do things because of our understanding of His Word.  He does what He pleases, whether it’s the hardening of Pharaohs heart, or causing the King not to sin, with Abrahams wife.

1 Corinthians 2:10

But God hath revealed them unto us by his Spirit: for the Spirit searcheth all things, yea, the deep things of God.”

Daniel 2:22

He revealeth the deep and secret things: he knoweth what is in the darkness, and the light dwelleth with him.”

We need to let go of the Church Doctrine that denies the Power and Teachings of Jesus.

Ask the Lord to open our eyes and hearts, ask for a double anointing, to do His will.  Amen
