Do Not Be Fooled By Things!

 In spite of how bad things may have been in your life, it is great to be a child of God.  Even when there appears to be more problems than solutions, more questions than answers and more tears than smiles, its still great to be a child of God.  No more what other people say or think about you and your personal walk with the Lord, it is great to be a child of God.  So often in life we define how blessed we are by the materialistic possessions we enjoy each day.  The more we have, the more blessed we think we are.  To the contrary, the reason we are blessed is not because we have many things.  No, no, no!  We are blessed because of our relationship with the Lord Jesus Christ.  The things come as a result of our relationship with Jesus.This morning, I have been commissioned to come and minister to you.  My friend, Do Not Be Fooled By Things!  Today you can have many things and tomorrow you could be begging.  Today you can be driving the best, but tomorrow you could be hoping to catch a ride.  Today you can be dressing in the famous styles, but tomorrow you could be borrowing from someone else.  The Bible declares in Matthew 6:33 But seek ye first the kingdom of God, and his righteousness; and all these things shall be added unto you.  The material things we enjoy are defined as the ‘things that shall be added unto you.’  They only come when you seek ye first the kingdom of God and His righteousness.  Many people are living with no understanding of God’s blessing system.  The blessings come through intimacy with the Lord, not through separation from the Lord.My brother, my sister, Do Not Be Fooled By Things!  You must be very careful to make sure you do not become fooled by things.  Many people enjoy things so much until they begin to worship the gift (idol) and not the Giver of the gifts.  The Bible declares in Exodus 20:3 - Thou shalt have no other gods before me.  Beloved, have you become consumed by things?  Are you doing whatever it takes to possess more things?  You must remember, as quick as you get it, can be as quick as you lose it.  Be not deceived, there will never be any thing more important than the Lord Jesus Christ.  Prayer for Today: Father, forgive me for ever becoming consumed with the possessions of life.  Allow my heart and mind to always long after You.  In the name of Jesus … Amen! 

 Scripture Reading for Today: Romans 8:39

GOD VS. FORNICATORS @SEX + NO MARRIAGE #fornication #fornicating #fornicated

IT'S TIME FOR US TO LEARN THE SEX LAWS OF GOD ALMIGHTY.  Is God going to forgive those who refuse his laws and rules about sexuality? Or will He punish them?  God already told us (read below). And we thank GOD that there is forgiveness of sins and mistakes available to us, before it's too late.... "Fornication" is defined as "voluntary sexual intercourse between two unmarried persons or two persons not married to each other." "fornicari, ‘to commit fornication,’ from which is derived fornicatio, ‘whoredom, fornication.’" How does God Almighty define a marriage? Jesus Christ teaches: " Have ye not read, that he  [GOD ALMIGHTY]  which made them at the beginning   made them  male  and  female , And said, For this cause shall a man leave father and mother ,  and shall  cleave  to his  wife : and  they twain shall be  one   flesh ? Wherefore they are no more twain, but one flesh. What therefore  ...

What God Can Do in Five Seconds

God can do more in five seconds than we can do in five hours or months or years. This is one reason the habit of prayer is wise. Sometimes we do not get the five second breakthrough because we do not ask. To be sure, God ordains to do many good things through hours or months or years of labor. Prayer is not meant to replace toil. For example, God wills that a chapter be read, or a meal prepared, or a friend visited in the space of hours not seconds. He wills that a house be built in months not hours. He wills that a child be reared in years not months. But there are breakthroughs which could come in seconds. They often take us hours or days or months if they come at all. I have in mind especially the breakthroughs of insight that open a world of life changing truth and practical wisdom. All of Us Have Blind Spots and Blind Moments Many obstacles to joy and fruitfulness are owing to the fact that we cannot see reality the way it is. We cannot see the meaning of a biblical...

Reflections on the Love of God. Pt2

1. Point of all this - Romantic love not from Hallmark, Hollywood, etc. a. In fact they usually distort it b. True love, even romantic love, not of this world 2. Romantic love, and every other kind of true love, comes from God a. Need to discard the idea that romantic love is worldly b. Romantic love is of God too 3. Christians are not frigid prudes that do not know what romance is a. Christians are passionate people full of life from the giver of life b. So remember this at anniversaries, birthdays, valentines, every day... c. We serve a God full of passionate love d. Nothing is more godly that displaying God's passionate love to the one whom your soul loves 4. Want to conclude with a story from the newspapers a few years ago a. Early in 2005, John Phipps got called to work early. He boarded a train to work and went to sleep. He was jerked awake and saw smashed bits of train all over the place and a mist falling on his face. It dawned in ...
