perspective and training for the life of the Spirit
These may not be all the verses on prospering… but they are ones we need to meditate on, study in context and pray about implementing in our lives…. Genesis 26:12? Then Isaac sowed in that land, and reaped in the same year a hundredfold; and the Lord blessed him Genesis 39:3? Now his master saw that the Lord was with him and how the Lord caused all that he did to prosper in his hand. Deuteronomy 8:18?…Remember the Lord [...] Read more »
Barbara Hodgson is the author of “The Sword That Pierced My Soul”. I can’t remember how we connected, but I’m glad that we have. She’s got a challenge for us today. God taught me something this morning and laid it upon me to share with you. A long time ago I asked God what I could do for him to show him how much I loved him. At that time he told me, “In time my child, in time.” [...] Read more »
Scripture is that God won’t honor sin. David said about God: When you rebuke and discipline anyone for their sin, ? you consume their wealth like a moth— ? surely everyone is but a breath. Psalm 39:11 (New International Version, ©2010) Could your lack be because of sin in your life? The Good News is with God there is forgiveness and grace. There are all kinds of excuses Christians use to sin. Stop using those excuses and decide to do right. Now we [...] Read more »
In our last post in this series of “How Big Is Your But?” I wrote about if we really have any options but to obey God. Of course it’s our choice to disobey, but often we excuse it to the point of not even acknowledging that we are not doing what He’s told us to do or doing what He’s told us not to do. Here are three lies I first saw on Perry Noble’s blog. They are worth repeating [...] Read more »
What Does Repenting from Evil Deeds Mean? As followers of Christ we know we need to repent of evil deeds. You’re a new creation in Christ (2 Corinthians 5:17) you can’t go on sinning. It’s impossible for those who have been born of the Spirit to continue in sin. (1 John 2:3-6). There are two words in the Bible that tell us what to do. The first is Greek it’s metaknoia. Greek =metaknoia which is meta+knoia and meta is the [...] Read more »
Now the writer of the book of Hebrews simply lists the 6 basic teachings and then moves on. I want to take a little time over the next few posts to upack them. If you’re interested you can hear this message as a podcast. to unpack them because I want to make sure we all have the basic understanding…don’t worry I will get to some meat. Repenting from evil deeds Placing our faith in God Baptisms The laying on of [...] Read more »
We’re continuing our series on How to Steward Your Destiny. I’ve already written about how to seek wise counsel - that’s something I’ve been doing the last couple of weeks as I’m seeking God for timing of prophetic answers – in this post we’ll talk about the principle of looking to what you have in your nature. I’m assuming you have a prophetic word, but what if you don’t? It doesn’t mean God isn’t interested in your destiny. It may simply mean [...] Read more »
Does God want us to have wealth? We can’t start this discussion without remembering that if we live in Canada or the US, we’re in the top 2% of the world’s wealthiest people. Don’t think that because you don’t have a million dollars you aren’t wealthy. Not a lot of people in the world have a million dollars. What falls out of your pockets in a month is more than many people earn in a month. If you find a [...] Read more »
I need to admit I’ve got to learn more than I teach. I know I can only teach what I’ve learned. I don’t have all this together, but I do have an understanding of I can pass onto you. We picked up a dog on the weekend that is great with the kids, but afraid of me. It’s really testing my patience… anyway, the thought occurred to me that the Father is probably using the dog to teach me more [...] Read more »
Truth: “Whenever the rainbow appears in the clouds, I will see it and remember the everlasting covenant between God and all living creatures of every kind on the earth.” Genesis 9:16 (New International Version) Thought: In ancient times, a sign of a covenant was the one making the promise would turn the bow around so an arrow would face him, if it was “loaded.” He’d pull the string and declare the oath. This was a way to say, “If I [...] Read more »
Truth: Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. It is not rude, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs. Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth. It always protects,always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres. Love never fails. 1 Corinthians 13:4-8 (New International Version) Thought: Love is the antidote to negativity. How can you act in love and [...] Read more »
