Faith Pleases God

Image
                 Faith Pleases God HEBREWS 11:6 NKJ Our experience does not always agree with what the Bible says. For example, the Bible says that God will supply all your needs in Phillipians 4:19, but it may seem like your needs are not being met. The Bible says that God always leads us in triumph, but it may seem like you are losing. When our experience does not agree with the Bible, it is an opportunity to keep our faith in what God said, or to give up on that faith. Circumstances are subject to change. But God will never change what He has said. When we hold on to our faith in God's Word, circumstances will change. Believing what the Bible says when the circumstances disagree can be very difficult. It's a great temptation to give in and forget what God said. But what greater purpose could your life have than to please God? Many people strain and sacrifice to please other humans. How much greater of a goal ...

The holy Spirit

The holy Spirit is a : HELPER :    * JOHN 14:16-18 NKJ 16 "And I will pray the Father, and He will give you another Helper, that He may abide with you forever, 17 "even the Spirit of truth, whom the world cannot receive, because it neither sees Him nor knows Him; but you know Him, for He dwells with you and will be in you. 18 "I will not leave you orphans; I will come to you. * ROMANS 8:26 NKJ 26 Likewise the Spirit also helps in our weaknesses. For we do not know what we should pray for as we ought, but the Spirit Himself makes intercession for us with groanings which cannot be uttered. TEACHER :   JOHN 14:26 NKJ 26 "But the Helper, the Holy Spirit, whom the Father will send in My name, He will teach you all things, and bring to your remembrance all things that I said to you. JOHN 16:7 NKJ 7 "Nevertheless I tell you the truth. It is to your advantage that I go away; for if I do not go away, the Helper will not come to you; ...

Faith And Patience

 Faith And Patience HEBREWS 6:12 NKJ 12 that you do not become sluggish, but imitate those who through faith and patience inherit the promises. Patience is not just putting up with things.  Patience means to continue, to persevere, to stay steady, to maintain your course, to not grow weary in doing good and quit. Patience is a fruit of the spirit, so to walk in Bible patience you must keep your spiritual life strong, by feeding on the Word and fellowshiping with God. We receive from God by faith, but our faith has to be undergirded by patience to possess and enjoy His promises. It's normal for there to be a time of waiting and testing when we believe the promises of God. But hang on to your faith and it will see you through. JAMES 5:10-11 NIV 10 Brothers, as an example of patience in the face of suffering, take the prophets who spoke in the name of the Lord. 11 As you know, we consider blessed those who have persevered. You have heard of Job's pe...

Faith Is The Victory

Image
                     Faith Is The Victory 1 JOHN 5:4 NKJ 4 For whatever is born of God overcomes the world. And this is the victory that has overcome the world -- our faith. We all love to win.                   Victory is sweet. One reason it's so sweet is that it's usually not easy. Victory takes effort -- often great effort. Effort is also required in the spiritual battle of good against evil we are all engaged in. But the effort required of us is to maintain our attitude of faith in God and His Word. We cannot overcome the strategies of the devil by our willpower, or by our own strength. We must use the spiritual                                    weapons God has provided for us. As a child of God -- you are a winner ! The victory is already yours through what ...

You Are Born To Win

Image
       You Are Born To Win 1 JOHN 5:4 NIV 4 for everyone born of God overcomes the world. This is the victory that has overcome the world, even our faith. God does not expect any of His children to be failures. There is nothing wrong with failing. It's part of learning. No child learns to walk without falling down multiple times. But they do not stay down, they get back up. No one is a failure until they accept and believe they are a failure. Growth is a process. We learn and then make adjustments. No one is born mature. So don't be discouraged by your present state. Don't give up just because you have fallen over and over.  Get up and go again! You are a child of God if Jesus is your Lord, and God placed within you everything you need to be a winner -- an overcomer. As you trust in Him, and keep on keeping on, you can walk in victory. SAY THIS: Because of Jesus, I am born again to win!
