We must watch our words

I remember when I first prayed for God to grant me a desire to study His word, I was only interested in the New Testament. We are no longer under the law and why should I read about the law? Oh, how wrong I was, and in His mercy, I began to desire to read about the pre-Jesus era. There are many hidden treasures within the Old Testament and what I call "shortcuts and insights" into the ways and actions of God.

If you are reading this and do not have a foundation of believing every word within the Word, what I will write will shock and possibly appall you. But don't fret because "Faith comes by hearing, and hearing by the Word of God!" The more you hear His words, faith will begin to take root. When this happens, WATCH OUT! Faith is what pleases God..

Genesis 1:1-3 gives us a picture of what the beginning was like. We know that God created heaven and earth and everything within...but it tells us much more :-)

Verse 3: And God said "Let there be light," and there was light. Verse 27: So God created human beings in his own image, in the image of God he created them; male and female he created them.

So far we know that God created us in His image and that He said "Let there be light." What is the connection? Why is this important? Whats the application to our lives as believers?

We are created in God's image people, His very image. God spoke everything into existence. Throughout the Word of God we are given explicit instructions to model ourselves after the Lord. So why do we insist on saying things that defeat and CONTRADICT the Word of God?

Example:
"I've been praying for that job BUT I know I won't get it."
"My kids are bad"
"My life sucks"

See, these may all be accurate descriptions of your current situation. But Hebrews 11:1 states that faith is being sure of what we HOPE for and CERTAIN of what we do not see (NLT). "Now faith is the SUBSTANCE of things hoped for and the EVIDENCE of things unseen." So how much faith do you really have if all you speak is what you see? 2 Corinthians 5:7 states that we WALK (action) by faith, not by sight."

By faith, speak what you HOPE for and not what you see. If we are made in God's very image and we see countless times throughout the Bible how powerful His words are -- we can only conclude how powerful our words are. I could give you many more scripture to back up what I am saying but this would be a novel, not a blog :-)

Be Blessed,
Christian

The Names Of God in The Old Testament

God as we know Him has always been and always will be. He has no beginning and no end. His wisdom is shown throughout the cosmos and our home, planet Earth.  When Moses was called by God to go deliver the children of Israel, he asked God who should He say sent him?  God replied, "I AM." He further explained that He was " I AM that I AM." Seems kind of weird for a name, right? After the Israelites were delivered, they wandered in the wilderness for 40 years. During this time, I AM revealed who He was by what He did.  God revealed who He was by what He did.  If you feel lost, confused, or struggle with unbelief, please use this as a reference. Call on The Lord and watch Him show up. He knows your heart, so you don't have to be fancy with your words or know what to say - simply call out to I AM and watch Him become what you need! Keep pressing. Your labor is not in vain. 

The Real Meaning of The Rainbow is in The Bible

After the monumental decision by the Supreme Court to allow same-sex couples to marry, I knew it was yet another inch closer to the days Jesus spoke of in Matthew 24, and His imminent return. Let me first say that this post will not attempt to sway you in your views about the Supreme Courts ruling. It would be a waste of time as those who belong to God know and understand the sanctity of marriage and how it originated already. I want to discuss the rainbow and its true meaning. The rainbow is one of those wonders that God created in the Earth that not only reminds us of Him, but also reminds Him of us. The true meaning of the rainbow comes from the Bible. Genesis 9:13 says: I set My bow [rainbow] in the cloud, and it shall be a token  or  sign of a covenant  or  solemn pledge between Me and the earth. (Amplified version)

Who is the LORD? Yahweh. I AM. Jehovah.

May our eyes see, our ears hear and our hearts receive the Word of the LORD. We must return to Our Creator before His Son Jesus Christ returns. The time is shorter than when we first heard of His return more than 2  millennia ago. He does not want any person to perish or be eternally separated from Him, but all who ignore His call to return and all who mock Him will surely see that His Word cannot lie! He will be a refuge to those who choose Him, and a terror to those who reject His salvation. He is a firm foundation for those who trust in Him, but a rock of offense to those who refuse.  As nations have come and gone, so will all of us in the earth, but our souls will live on forever. How we respond to His call will determine if we are eternally with Him, or eternally separated.  Come to the LORD  while there is still time. Since He created time, we cannot control it, so make your salvation sure today! Creator. GOD. King of kings. LORD of lords. For by Him all things...
