God says what He means and He means what He says.
It is to the benefit of the Christian to believe what God says.
We know that the Bible/Scripture is God's Word dictated to men for penning. All Scripture is given by inspiration of God...2 Timothy 3:16
As the rain and the snow come down from heaven, and do not return to it without watering the earth and making it bud and flourish so that it yields seed for the sower and bread for the eater, so is My word that goes out from My mouth: It will not return to Me empty (void) but will accomplish what I desire and achieve the purpose for which I sent it. Isaiah 55:10-11
What God says through the psalmist in Psalm 139 is what God means concerning the ones who have taken refuge in Jesus.
The Lord knows you and is acquainted with you and desires to take your hands and walk with you in this life, in this season.
Tune in and let us discuss Psalm 139!
That Beautiful House On The Sand
During the Living Epistle Project Radio Program live on the Power of Worship Radio! We discussed "That beautiful house on the sand."
Today we see many "talented" people in the church with great spiritual skills. But as time pass or when push comes to shove, they don't side with God's word.
Let us examine ourselves to make sure our beautiful house is not built on sand but on the rock.
"Therefore everyone who hears these words of mine and puts them into practice is like a wise man who built his house on the rock. The rain came down, the streams rose, and the winds blew and beat against that house, yet it did not fall, because it had its foundation on the rock.
But everyone who hears these words of mine and does not put them into practice is like a foolish man who built his house on sand. The rain came down, the streams rose, and the winds blew and beat against that house, and it fell with a great crash."Matthew 7:24-27
Examine yourselves to see whether you are in the faith; test yourselves. Do you not realize that Christ Jesus is in you--unless, of course, you fail the test? 2 Corinthians 13:5
See Matthew 13:24-30 for the parable of the sower/the wheat and the tares.
See the story of Judas Iscariot in the Bible. He had skills. He was the treasurer of Jesus' ministry and we know how his story ended.
Tell Me What I Want To Hear Or Tell Me The Word of God: Do We/You Really Know The Word of God?
During this difficult time, we see a lack of biblical understanding among the Church. We want to encourage sincere believers to stay with God and not move with culture.
For the time will come when people will not put up with sound doctrine. Instead, to suit their own desires, they will gather around them a great number of teachers to say what their itching ears want to hear. They will turn their ears away from the truth and turn aside to myths. Timothy 4:3-4.
Study to shew thyself approved unto God, a workman that needeth not to be ashamed, rightly dividing the word of truth. 2 Timothy 2:15.
