God's Words of Wisdom

"Greetings in the Name of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ for 24 July 2012"

Today's Bible Verse: 2 Corinthians 6:17-18 "Therefore, Come out from among them and be separate, says the Lord.  Do not touch what is unclean, and I will receive you." I will be a Father to you, and you shall be my sons and daughters, Says the LORD Almighty."

We as Christians should live a holy life that reflects the nature of God, who has saved us (1 Peter 1:16).  We should separate ourselves from actions, influences, or people that will contaminate him or her.  A Christian should apply the Biblical principles of separation and avoid what is (1) against a Biblical standard of purity (1 Corinthians 6:17-20) (2) against a Biblical prohibition (Exodus 20:3-17) (3) and association that will harm (4) harmful to the body (1 Corinthians 6:19) (5) harmful to a weaker brother (1 Corinthians 8:8-13) (6) offensive to the conscience (James 4:17) and (7) failure to follow the examples of Christ (1 Corinthians 15:57). 

We see here, that the Corinthian Church, was an immature congregation, with problems in many areas, but victory then, as it is still today was and is available through Christ (1 Corinthians 15:57).  A correct relationship with the Holy Spirit will make a believer "holy" and "spiritual."  We as Christians are to maintain integrity in the world just as Christ did.  Since the Holy Spirit now lives within the hearts of Christians, we are to keep our bodies pure and clean, because that is the dwelling place of God.

Today's Biblical Truth: "Jesus never did do anything wrong.  Yet He loved us so much He died for our sins, so that we might be declared righteous, that is to say justified."

Heavenly Father, Lord Jesus, Holy Spirit, how wonderful is to have a loving Heavenly Father, who listens to us and who is ready to help and deliver us from our trials and the storms of our life.  May we as your representatives and ambassadors, go out and spread the Good News of the Free Gift of Salvation through Jesus Christ, to those around us.  Thank You Jesus for taking our sins and casting them into the depth of the sea, and when we stand before You, and the Book of Life is opened to our name, it will say, "Washed By The Blood of the Lamb."   Amen

Have a God Filled and Spirit Led Day. Go in Peace and Serve the Lord our God with Gladness.
Love God More Today.  Pray for Youcef Nardarkhani the Iranian Pastor who has been sentenced to death for his refusal to denounce Jesus Christ as his Lord and Savior, and for his lawyer who has been sentenced to 9 years in prison for defending him in the Iranian Court.  Continue to pray for our Brothers and Sisters who are being persecuted for their Faith and Trust in Jesus.  Always remember that when you have a spiritual dilemma in your life and you yell out, "I CAN'T," GOD Whispers to you, BUT I CAN."  

"Truly my soul silently waits for God; From Him comes my salvation." Psalm 62:1

Jesus Reigns!!!  May God's Love, Peace, Strength, and Grace be with you all.

Your Sister in Christ,
