Thoughts just for you…

 

If we live for God, the world will often hate us, because we make them painfully aware of their immoral way of living.

Christianity is a religion of the heart; outward compliance alone is not enough. Bitterness against someone, who has wronged you, is an evil cancer within you and will eventually destroy you.

We need to show outward love beside our inward love for God to let others know about Him through our example.

Real love is an action, not a feeling. It develops a selfless, sacrificial giving of your love. The greatest act of love is to give yourself to others. How can we “lay down our lives? By serving others with no thought of receiving anything in return.

Remember:

You are not alone.

You are not forsaken.

You are not unloved.

Above all….never, ever, give up!

Thoughts just for you…

In the Bible we are warned about false prophets. I Peter and I John talks about them.

This brings up the question: How do we know if a person is a false prophet?

There are several ways to test a person giving a message to try to sway us.

  • Check to see if their words match what God says in the Bible.
  • What is their commitment to the body of believers, and the fruit of their ministry.
  • The most important test is, what do they believe about Christ? Do they teach that Jesus is God and the only begotten Son who came down to this earth and gave up His life for us?

Our world is full with voices claiming to speak for God. Check them out with these tests to see if they are truly speaking God’s truth.

Verify every message you hear, even if the person who brings says it is from God. If it truly is from God, it will be consistent with Christ’s teachings.

There is even the Antichrist who will be the great deceiver. He will be very popular on this earth, because he will say what people want to hear. He will make them feel good with the evil they are doing.

As Christians what you will say will not win you any popularity contest. People don’t want to hear their sins denounced; they don’t want to listen  demands that they change their behavior. A false teacher will be highly received by non-Christians.

Remember:

You are not alone.

You are not forsaken.

You are not unloved.

And above all…never, ever, give up!

Thoughts just for you…

How many times have you felt alone, depressed, lost, and forsaken? I have been through all of those feeling at one time or another. I was down drowning in the muck and mire, and wondering if I was going to make it.

How did I let myself get to that point? It is all the work of the prince of this world. You can call him Satan or devil, it is the same guy.

He knows when we are at our weakest moments. He is like a roaring lion waiting  to devour us. ( I Peter 5: 8) We have to be alert to all of his tricks.

When we try to wing it on our own is when Satan is at his best. To wing it is like jumping off a cliff without those wings. Your chances are slim or none that you are going to make it.

We need to keep God on speed dial and rely on Him to protect us from the evil one. If we stead fastly cling to God’s promises we will not falter. With God on our side, who can be against us?

Turn your fears, hurts, illnesses, defeats, etc, over to God. He has much bigger shoulders to lean on, and He will take you by the hand and pull you out of that muck and mire. I know he did for me.

Remember:

You are not alone.

You are not forsaken.

You are not unloved.

And above all….Never, ever, give up!
