Superstition

The Definition of Superstition in the Webster’s Dictionary

A belief or practice resulting from ignorance, fear of the unknown, trust in magic or chance, or a false conception of causation

An irrational abject attitude of mind toward the supernatural, nature, or God resulting from superstition

Are you superstitious? Are you motivated by superstition? Do you change directions when you see a manifestation, such as a black cat in your path, or a flying bird hitting a hard surface, such as a wall or fence etc. Be careful because not all manifestations are from the Lord. It could be from the Devil your enemy. When people get all into superstitious manifestations it could turn into a form of worship from the Devil and his demons to get us off track. We have got to ask Jesus for some wisdom and spiritual discernment. If any of you lack wisdom, let him ask of God, that giveth to all men liberally, and upbraideth not; and it shall be given him.” (James 1:5 )

Also ask for the gift of discernment. The enemy would love to get you tripped off running around looking for manifestations which can lead you astray and waste your time which God has given you on your watch here on earth, to see what you will do with it. Manifestations are physical sightings of spiritual meanings or realities. PRAY without ceasing, put on the whole armour of God. “neither give place to the devil.” (Ephesians 4:27).

Ephesians 5:6-21

Let no man deceive you with vain words: for because of these things cometh the wrath of God upon the children of disobedience. Be not ye therefore partakers with them. For ye were sometimes darkness, but now are ye light in the Lord: walk as children of light: (for the fruit of the Spirit is in all goodness and righteousness and truth;) proving what is acceptable unto the Lord. And have no fellowship with the unfruitful works of darkness, but rather reprove them. For it is a shame even to speak of those things which are done of them in secret. But all things that are reproved are made manifest by the light: for whatsoever doth make manifest is light. Wherefore he saith, Awake thou that sleepest, and arise from the dead, and Christ shall give thee light. See then that ye walk circumspectly, not as fools, but as wise, redeeming the time, because the days are evil. Wherefore be ye not unwise, but understanding what the will of the Lord is. And be not drunk with wine, wherein is excess; but be filled with the Spirit; speaking to yourselves in psalms and hymns and spiritual songs, singing and making melody in your heart to the Lord; giving thanks always for all things unto God and the Father in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ; submitting yourselves one to another in the fear of God.

Ephesians 6: 10-18

Finally, my brethren, be strong in the Lord, and in the power of his might. Put on the whole armour of God, that ye may be able to stand against the wiles of the devil. For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places. Wherefore take unto you the whole armour of God, that ye may be able to withstand in the evil day, and having done all, to stand. Stand therefore, having your loins girt about with truth, and having on the breastplate of righteousness; and your feet shod with the preparation of the gospel of peace; above all, taking the shield of faith, wherewith ye shall be able to quench all the fiery darts of the wicked. And take the helmet of salvation, and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God: praying always with all prayer and supplication in the Spirit, and watching thereunto with all perseverance and supplication for all saints; Be sober, be vigilant; because your adversary the devil, as a roaring lion, walketh about, seeking whom he may devour:” (1Peter 5:8). So let me spell it out for you. Superstition can be a form of worshiping the Devil. Be careful and prayerful out there! Grow up!!! Wake up!!! it’s time to stop all this devil worship, and be a part of God’s real woke generation and not a bungling babe any more! You have got babes to train! The Lord has put you in a position where others are watching you.

Say this prayer if you want to be saved: Jesus, I want to know you, and to live forever in Heaven, I know I have made mistakes and done bad things- and I am sorry. Please forgive me. I know I don’t deserve it, but I accept your love and I accept you as my Saviour. I believed you died on the cross for my sins and rose from the dead. Please come into my heart and life and fill me with your Holy Spirit and give me peace. Amen.

WE WILL TEACH THE WHOLE TRUTH AND NOTHING BUT THE TRUTH SO HELP US LORD JESUS CHRIST!

For I have not shunned to declare unto you all the counsel of God.” (Acts 20:27). “Then said Jesus to those Jews which believed on him, If ye continue in my word, then are ye my disciples indeed; and ye shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free.” (John 8:31-32). I was recently praying about Answersintheword.com and I was considering watering some parts down because I was worried that it was to heavy and powerful and bottle breaking for many Christians. Then as I was going thru and reading the teachings of which are over 500 now, I couldn’t find any I would or could take out. Since people need to know them all because we are in the End Times and Jesus is Coming back soon. The Bible says; “I have yet many things to say unto you, but ye cannot bear them now. Howbeit when he, the Spirit of truth, is come, he will guide you into all truth: for he shall not speak of himself; but whatsoever he shall hear,that shall he speak: and he will shew you things to come. He shall glorify me: for he shall receive of mine, and shall shew unto you.” (John 6:12-14). “But though we, or an angel from heaven, preach any other gospel unto you than that which we have preached unto you, let him be accursed. As we said before, so say I now again, If any man preach any other gospel unto you than that ye have received, let him be accursed. For do I now persuade men, or God? or do I seek to please men? for if I yet pleased men, I should not be the servant of Christ.”(Galatians 1:8-10). May the Lord forbid that I should teach anything but the truth! As I have said before if anyone can show us anything that we teach that is not scriptural and true, please let us know and we will gladly correct it. If you can’t you had better follow the teaching with all of your heart, and myself also!” only fear the Lord, and serve him in truth with all your heart: for consider how great things he hath done for you.” (1 Samuel 12:24).

For I testify unto every man that heareth the words of the prophecy of this book, If any man shall add unto these things, God shall add unto him the plagues that are written in this book: and if any man shall take away from the words of the book of this prophecy, God shall take away his part out of the book of life, and out of the holy city, and from the things which are written in this book. (Revelation 22:18-19).

Say this prayer if you want to be saved: Jesus, I want to know you, and to live forever in Heaven, I know I have made mistakes and done bad things- and I am sorry. Please forgive me. I know I don’t deserve it, but I accept your love and I accept you as my Saviour. I believe you died on the cross for my sins, and rose from the dead. Please come into my heart and life and fill me with your Holy Spirit and give me peace. Amen

WHEN I AM WEAK, THEN AM I STRONG !

Of such an one will I glory: yet of myself I will not glory, but in mine infirmities. For though I would desire to glory, I shall not be a fool; for I will say the truth: but now I forbear, lest any man should think of me above that which he seeth me to be, or that he heareth of me. And lest I should be exalted above measure through the abundance of the revelations, there was given to me a thorn in the flesh, the messenger of Satan to buffet me, lest I should be exalted above measure. For this thing I besought the Lord thrice, that it might depart from me And he said unto me, My grace is sufficient for thee: for my strength is made perfect in weakness. Most gladly therefore will I rather glory in my infirmities, that the power of Christ may rest upon me. Therefore I take pleasure in infirmities, in reproaches, in necessities, in persecutions, in distresses for Christ’s sake: for when I am weak, then am I strong. (2 Corinthians 12:5-10). Remember Satan trembles when he sees the weakest Saint upon his knees. “For ye see your calling, brethren, how that not many wise men after the flesh, not many mighty, not many noble, are called: but God hath chosen the foolish things of the world to confound the wise; and God hath chosen the weak things of the world to confound the things which are mighty; and base things of the world, and things which are despised, hath God chosen, yea, and things which are not, to bring to nought things that are: that no flesh should glory in his presence.” (1 Corinthians 1:26-29). “For his letters, say they, are weighty and powerful; but his bodily presence is weak, and his speech contemptible.” (2 Corinthians 10:10). Jesus Said, “And I, if I be lifted up from the earth, will draw all men unto me.” (John 12:32). Keep lifting up Jesus always, but expect all hell to break loose upon you, when the devil puts you on his hit list, But JESUS will stand with you and help you along with his army of ANGELS, remember one with God is a majority. “Two are better than one; because they have a good reward for their labour. For if they fall, the one will lift up his fellow: but woe to him that is alone when he falleth; for he hath not another to help him up. Again, if two lie together, then they have heat: but how can one be warm alone? And if one prevail against him, two shall withstand him; and a threefold cord is not quickly broken.” (Ecclesiastes 4:9-12). When your walking with the devil he doesn’t give you such a hard time, but when you turn around and resit him he will go all out and fight you before he flees and leaves you, and the enemy quits trying to get you to give up. NEVER SURRENDER! “Submit yourselves therefore to God. Resist the devil, and he will flee from you. Draw nigh to God, and he will draw nigh to you. Cleanse your hands, ye sinners; and purify your hearts, ye double minded. Be afflicted, and mourn, and weep: let your laughter be turned to mourning, and your joy to heaviness. Humble yourselves in the sight of the Lord, and he shall lift you up.” (James 4:7-10). “He that hath ears to hear, let him hear!” “And when he had said these things, he cried, He that hath ears to hear, let him hear. “(Luke 8:8b).

Say this prayer if you want to be saved: Jesus, I want to know you, and to live forever in Heaven, I know I have made mistakes and done bad things- and I am sorry. Please forgive me. I know I don’t deserve it, but I accept your love and I accept you as my Saviour. I believe you died on the cross for my sins and rose from the dead. Please come into my heart and life and fill me with your Holy Spirit and give me peace. Amen.

Commitment

When thou vowest a vow unto God, defer not to pay it; for he hath no pleasure in fools: pay that which thou hast vowed. Better is it that thou shouldest not vow, than that thou shouldest vow and not pay. Suffer not thy mouth to cause thy flesh to sin; neither say thou before the angel, that it was an error: wherefore should God be angry at thy voice, and destroy the work of thine hands?” (Ecclesiastes 5:4-6). “But what think ye? A certain man had two sons; and he came to the first, and said, Son, go work to day in my vineyard. He answered and said, I will not: but afterward he repented, and went. And he came to the second, and said likewise. And he answered and said, I go, sir: and went not. whether of them twain did the will of his father? They say unto him, The first. “ ( Matthew 21:28-31a). If you say you are going to do something for the Lord you had better do it, and do it speedily. “because the king’s business required haste.” (1Samuel 21:8b). I am so glad Jesus made a commitment to our Heavenly Father out of love for him and us, to go to the cross and suffer all the pain and die so we could be saved and healed ! Aren’t you? “For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life.” (John 3:16). “I was not disobedient unto the heavenly vision:” (Acts 26:19b). Some day we will have to give an account for our lives to the Lord. “For we must all appear before the judgment seat of Christ; that every one may receive the things done in his body, according to that he hath done, whether it be good or bad.” (2 Corinthians 5:10). So be a faithful servant . “His lord said unto him, Well done, good and faithful servant; thou hast been faithful over a few things, I will make thee ruler over many things: enter thou into the joy of thy Lord.” (Matthew 25:23).

Say this prayer if you want to be saved: Jesus, I want to know you, and to live forever in Heaven, I know I have made mistakes and done bad things- and I am sorry. Please forgive me. I know I don’t deserve it, but I accept your love and I accept you as my Saviour. I believe you died on the cross for my sins and rose from the dead. Please come into my heart and life and fill me with your Holy Spirit and give me peace. Amen.

Basic Instruction Before Leaving Earth

The Bible is a Love letter to you from The Creator of all Universes, who made all things from nothing by speaking Creation into existence.The Bible is Divinely inspired by God, and Jesus and The Holy Spirit. This is proven by all the many fulfilled prophecy’s. “We have also a more sure word of prophecy; whereunto ye do well that ye take heed, as unto a light that shineth in a dark place, until the day dawn, and the day star arise in your hearts:” (2Peter 1:19).The Bible is a collection of 66 books written by Prophets and men of God and scholars over a 1600 year period. There are 39 Books in the Old Testamate. and 27 in the New Testamate. The Old Testamate was originally written in Hebrew, the New Testamate was originally written in Greek. The Old Testamate was Translated into Greek in 250 B.C. Under the reign of King Philadelphus of Greece, it is called the “Septuagint” which is an Historical Fact taught in all Universities and Bible Colleges. The New Testamate was translated into English in 1611 under the reign of King James of England by 70 Scholars who took 10 years and accomplished this great feat. It was during a time when Heretics were burned at the stake, so they we’re very very careful not to make any mistakes from the Hebrew, Greek and Aramaic (the language which was widely spoken in Jesus’s day) into the English language at a time when it was at it’s most perfect and beautiful state. The Bible says For the prophecy came not in old time by the will of man: but holy men of God spake as they were moved by the Holy Ghost.” (2Peter 1:21).

The Lord gave us the Bible as a guide thru life. “Thy word is a lamp unto my feet, and a light unto my path.” (Psalms 119:105). The Bible is an amazing, powerful, Spiritual Book, you can read the same passages over and over many times and the Lord will speak new Revelations to you every time you read it. You have got to get alone with the Lord and your Bible in a quite place and pray before you read it and ask Jesus to reveal his truths to you, if you really want to get the most out of reading God’s Word. “Be still, and know that I am God: I will be exalted among the heathen, I will be exalted in the earth.” ( Psalm 46:10). Listen to the Lord’s still small voice. Try not to interrupt him. ” And he said, Go forth, and stand upon the mount before the Lord. And, behold, the Lord passed by, and a great and strong wind rent the mountains, and brake in pieces the rocks before the Lord; but the Lord was not in the wind: and after the wind an earthquake; but the Lord was not in the earthquake: and after the earthquake a fire; but the Lord was not in the fire: and after the fire a still small voice. ” (1 Kings 19:11-12). If you really study the Bible you will see that it is like a great puzzle that fits together with other different books in The Bible. The Old Testamate is the New Testament Concealed, The New Testamate is the Old Testamate revealed. The main theme of the Old Testamate is the coming of the Messiah, Jesus Christ. The main theme of the New Testamate is the Revelation of Jesus Christ and what he did and what he taught. The Bible will make you wise, and fulfilled, and happy when we obey it. “If ye know these things, happy are ye if ye do them.” (John 13:17). The Bible will feed your spirit. The Bible is an accurate History Book, of truth and spiritual wealth and encouragement and will bring you victory over evil and the devil. The Bible is your Spiritual armor to fight the devil and his lies. “For the word of God is quick, and powerful, and sharper than any two edged sword, piercing even to the dividing asunder of soul and spirit, and of the joints and marrow, and is a discerner of the thoughts and intents of the heart.” (Hebrews 4:12). The Bible teaches the True Age of The Earth, and historical events. Don’t neglect reading it every day, The Bible will bring you health, life, light and spiritual wealth. It makes the Lord happy when you read it and share it. “And the things that thou hast heard of me among many witnesses, the same commit thou to faithful men, who shall be able to teach others also.” ( 2 Timothy 2:2). “Open thou mine eyes that I may behold wondrous things out of thy Law.”(Psalms 119:18). The Bible is the Word of God and it will open your spiritual eyes, so you can see what is really going on in this dark evil world, run by the devil himself. “And the devil, taking him up into an high mountain, shewed unto him all the kingdoms of the world in a moment of time. And the devil said unto him, All this power will I give thee, and the glory of them: for that is delivered unto me; and to whomsoever I will I give it. If thou therefore wilt worship me, all shall be thine. And Jesus answered and said unto him, “GET THEE BEHIND ME, SATAN: FOR IT IS WRITTEN, THOU SHALT WORSHIP THE LORD THY GOD, AND HIM ONLY SHALT THOU SERVE.“(Luke 4:5-8). “The Bible is the most priceless possession of the human race.”

The Bible is,

BASIC INSTRUCTION BEFORE LEAVING EARTH

Say this prayer if you want to be saved: Jesus, I want to know you, and to live forever in Heaven, I know I have made mistakes and done bad things- and I am sorry. Please forgive me. I know I don’t deserve it, but I accept your love and I accept you as my Saviour. I believe you died on the cross for my sins and rose from the dead. Please come into my heart and life and fill me with your Holy Spirit and give me peace. Amen.

IN JESUS CHRIST PAIN IS GAIN

I never have been much of a pain person or one who could take a lot of pain. I guess most of us are like that too. How about you? The Bible talks about pain. “For unto you it is given in the behalf of Christ, not only to believe on him, but also to suffer for his sake;” (Philippians 1:29). “though he were a Son, yet learned he obedience by the things which he suffered;” (Hebrews 5:8). Think of the pain that Jesus endured for us to be saved and healed by his stripes or whippings. “But he was wounded for our transgressions, he was bruised for our iniquities: the chastisement of our peace was upon him; and with his stripes we are healed” (Isaiah 53:5). We don’t suffer pain to get Salvation, we do suffer paint to get closer to Jesus Christ. If we can’t handel the daily pain and suffering we have to deal with now. Then how are we going to make it when things really get bad? “If thou hast run with the footmen, and they have wearied thee, then how canst thou contend with horses? And if in the land of peace, wherein thou trustedst, they wearied thee, then how wilt thou do in the swelling of Jordan?” (Jeremiah 12:5). “confirming the souls of the disciples, and exhorting them to continue in the faith, and that we must through much tribulation enter into the kingdom of God.” (Acts 14:22). The Lord gives us grace for the trial at the time it is needed, not before or after. Even though it may seem unberable just cry out to Jesus with all your heart and he will help you. “And ye shall seek me, and find me, when ye shall search for me with all your heart.” (Jeremiah 29:13). Jesus suffered and died for us, “And he said to them all, If any man will come after me, let him deny himself, and take up his cross daily, and follow me. For whosoever will save his life shall lose it: but whosoever will lose his life for my sake, the same shall save it.” (Luke 9:23-24). Remember they that bare the Cross shall receive the Crown, no Testimony without a Test. No Triumph without a Trial, no Victory without a Battle. God created feelings of pain to help get us to repent and turn to him through Jesus Christ his Only Begotten Son. Sometimes fear of pain will help us to do the right things that are good for us and keep us in line on the straight and narrow for our own good. “And fear not them which kill the body, but are not able to kill the soul: but rather fear him which is able to destroy both soul and body in hell.” (Matthew 10:28). If you have children you know what I mean. My Dad used to tell me: “You Better Straighten up and Fly Right.”

Many of the people of God through out time have had to endure sufferings and persecutions and pains. Isaiah was sawn in half. READ Hebrews Chapter 11. God’s Hall of Fame Chapter for people of God who endured pain and suffering for the Lord. All the disciples were killed and tortured except John who the Romans tried to boil in oil, but he wouldn’t boil. So they stuck him on the island Patmos in prison where Jesus came to him and gave him the Book of Revelations. Even Peter was crucified up side down when he told the Romans that he was not worthy to die like his Lord Jesus did.

NOW I’M NOT TRYING TO START A SELFRIGHTOUS WORKS DOCTRINE TO BE SAVED BY SUFFERINGS, BUT TO GIVE YOU ENCOURAGEMENT THAT YOU CAN MAKE IT THRU FAITH BY GOD’S GRACE AND HELP. IT WILL BE WORTH IT ALL WHEN WE SEE JESUS. “And they departed from the presence of the council, rejoicing that they were counted worthy to suffer shame for his name. “ (Acts 5:41). I would rather suffer from preaching the Gospel then suffer for my sins.

Say this prayer if you want to be saved: Jesus, I want to know you, and to live forever in Heaven, I know I have made mistakes and done bad things- and I am sorry. Please forgive me. I know I don’t deserve it, but I accept your love and I accept you as my Saviour. I believe you died on the cross for my sins and rose from the dead. Please come into my heart and life and fill me with your Holy Spirit and give me peace. Amen.

THIS IS YOUR FUTURE

MARK 4: 1-34

1 And he began again to teach by the sea side: and there was gathered unto him a great multitude, so that he entered into a ship, and sat in the sea; and the whole multitude was by the sea on the land. And he taught them many things by parables, and said unto them in his doctrine, Hearken; Behold, there went out a sower to sow: and it came to pass, as he sowed, some fell by the way side, and the fowls of the air came and devoured it up. And some fell on stony ground, where it had not much earth; and immediately it sprang up, because it had no depth of earth: but when the sun was up, it was scorched; and because it had no root, it withered away. And some fell among thorns, and the thorns grew up, and choked it, and it yielded no fruit. And other fell on good ground, and did yield fruit that sprang up and increased; and brought forth, some thirty, and some sixty, and some an hundred. And he said unto them, He that hath ears to hear, let him hear. 10 And when he was alone, they that were about him with the twelve asked of him the parable. 11 And he said unto them, Unto you it is given to know the mystery of the kingdom of God: but unto them that are without, all these things are done in parables: 12 that seeing they may see, and not perceive; and hearing they may hear, and not understand; lest at any time they should be converted, and their sins should be forgiven them. 13 And he said unto them, Know ye not this parable? and how then will ye know all parables? 14 The sower soweth the word. 15 And these are they by the way side, where the word is sown; but when they have heard, Satan cometh immediately, and taketh away the word that was sown in their hearts. 16 And these are they likewise which are sown on stony ground; who, when they have heard the word, immediately receive it with gladness; 17 and have no root in themselves, and so endure but for a time: afterward, when affliction or persecution ariseth for the word’s sake, immediately they are offended. 18 And these are they which are sown among thorns; such as hear the word, 19 and the cares of this world, and the deceitfulness of riches, and the lusts of other things entering in, choke the word, and it becometh unfruitful. 20 And these are they which are sown on good ground; such as hear the word, and receive it, and bring forth fruit, some thirtyfold, some sixty, and some an hundred.

21 And he said unto them, Is a candle brought to be put under a bushel, or under a bed? and not to be set on a candlestick? 22 For there is nothing hid, which shall not be manifested; neither was any thing kept secret, but that it should come abroad. 23 If any man have ears to hear, let him hear.

24 And he said unto them, Take heed what ye hear: with what measure ye mete, it shall be measured to you: and unto you that hear shall more be given. 25 For he that hath, to him shall be given: and he that hath not, from him shall be taken even that which he hath.

26 And he said, So is the kingdom of God, as if a man should cast seed into the ground; 27 and should sleep, and rise night and day, and the seed should spring and grow up, he knoweth not how. 28 For the earth bringeth forth fruit of herself; first the blade, then the ear, after that the full corn in the ear. 29 But when the fruit is brought forth, immediately he putteth in the sickle, because the harvest is come.

30 And he said, Whereunto shall we liken the kingdom of God? or with what comparison shall we compare it? 31 It is like a grain of mustard seed, which, when it is sown in the earth, is less than all the seeds that be in the earth: 32 but when it is sown, it groweth up, and becometh greater than all herbs, and shooteth out great branches; so that the fowls of the air may lodge under the shadow of it. 33 And with many such parables spake he the word unto them, as they were able to hear it34 But without a parable spake he not unto them: and when they were alone, he expounded all things to his disciples.

WHICH OF THESE DESCRIBES YOU?

Say this prayer if you want to be saved: Jesus, I want to know you, and to live forever in Heaven, I know I have made mistakes and done bad things- and I am sorry. Please forgive me. I know I don’t deserve it, but I accept your love and I accept you as my Saviour. I believe you died on the cross for my sins and rose from the dead. Please come into my heart and life and fill me with your Holy Spirit and give me peace. Amen.

GROWING IN THE LORD

There comes a time in all Christians lives when it is time to move on forward to the next grade. “When I was a child, I spake as a child, I understood as a child, I thought as a child: but when I became a man, I put away childish things.” (1Corintinans 13:11). You can’t stay in Kindergarten all your life. So Lord willing we will be putting all the teachings in “Answersintheword.com” into different levels of understanding, such as New Converts and Babes to Advance teachings for Leaders and teachers. As Jesus said; “I have yet many things to say unto you, but ye cannot bear them now.” (John 16:12). “as newborn babes, desire the sincere milk of the word, that ye may grow thereby:”(1Peter 2:2). There is the milk of the Word for babes new born into God’s family, and there is the meat of the Word, which is to hard to chew and digest for babes. So that is why we will feed the sheep in this way. For all who wish to read the radical eye opening, shocking truths of the Word all you have to do is request and it shall be given to you after you have completed all of the milk of the Word and have grown to want more. “As the hart panteth after the water brooks, so panteth my soul after thee, O God. My soul thirsteth for God, for the living God: when shall I come and appear before God?” (Psalms 42:1-2). “Blessed are they which do hunger and thirst after righteousness: for they shall be filled” (Matthew 5:6). You can’t live on a little teaspoon of the same food every Sunday morning. So dive into the crisp, clean, and clear waters of His Word and enjoy. “CAUTION” “Take it, and eat it up; and it shall make thy belly bitter, but it shall be in thy mouth sweet as honey.” “My brethren, be not many masters, knowing that we shall receive the greater condemnation.” (James 3:1)

Say this prayer if you want to be saved: Jesus, I want to know you, and to live forever in Heaven, I know I have made mistakes and done bad things- and I am sorry. Please forgive me. I know I don’t deserve it, but I accept your love and I accept you as my Saviour. I believe you died on the cross for my sins and rose from the dead. Please come into my heart and life and fill me with your Holy Spirit and give me peace. Amen.

THINK IT NOT STRANGE

The Bible tells us to not think it strange concerning the fiery trial which is to try you as though some strange thing has happened to you. The fact is life is full of trials and tests. They can make us bitter or better. Sometimes we may be tempted to just harden our hearts or run away, but that’s not the answer. I know the answer, because I know the answer man Jesus Christ and if we run to him we can find help and grace and comfort and strength. Jesus was a man of sorrows and acquainted with grief. He weeps for us and the lost. God knows we should be passing a few tests and making some progress. Thank God we aren’t saved by how we handle life’s problems and our trials, and tests, but they are sent for a purpose. All things work together for good for them that know the Lord. Romans 8:28. Sometimes we may feel like we are in a boxing ring, and we keep getting hit with these knock out punches. Well, are you going to pull yourself up and get back in the fight before the bell rings? Or are you going to throw in the towel and quit? God help us and he will. The Lord wants to make a real fighter in the spirit out of you. A real solder of Christ Jesus. From reading the scriptures it not going to get any easier. The Bible tells us that in these end times things will get worse and worse, but then they are going to get better and better to. So, the more Word we have living in our hearts and the more Holy Ghost power we have the easier it will be for us. Jesus never promised us a bed of roses, but he did promise us a battle, and roses have thorns. For if I never had a problem, I’d never know my God could solve them and I’d never know what faith in God could do. Sometimes Gods idea of strength is when we’re on our knees or our face crying out to him. It seems as though there is always someone who is worse off than we are and who needs to know the Lord and his love. If we would pour ourselves into his service of helping others to know Jesus, our problems won’t seem so bad. the best cure for personal problems is the battlefront. If you feel like throwing your life away why not throw it away into Gods service and do some good for others? I was going to tell you about all my problems and ask for your prayers (which we still really need), and the Lord gave me this.
