God's Words of Wisdom

"Greetings in the Name of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ for 9 December 2013, from Cindi, a daughter of the King of kings and Lord of lords."

Today's Bible Verse: 1st Peter 5:6-11 "Therefore humble yourselves under the mighty hand of God, that he may exalt you in due time, casting all your care upon Him, for He cares for you.  Be sober, be vigilant; your adversary the devil walks about like a roaring lion, seeking who He may devour.  Resist Him, steadfast in the faith, knowing that the same sufferings are experienced by your brotherhood in the world.  But may the God of all grace, who called us to His eternal glory by Jesus Christ, after you have suffered awhile, perfect, establish, strengthen, and settle you.  To Him be the glory and the dominion forever and ever.  Amen"

Wow!!! Peter in these verses hits the nail right n the head.  In verse 7, we are told that as Christians, we need to present all our WORRIES, ANXIETIES and ALL our PROBLEMS to God in order for Him to settle them.

In verse 8, we are to be self disciplined, to think wisely not foolishly.  We are to be aware of the spiritual pitfalls of life, and take the steps necessary o make sure that we do not stumble.  Satan is loose on this earth as a ROARING LION, and he is CUNNING and CRUEL.  He is our AVOWED enemy.  He NEVER ceases from ATTACKING us, and he is also CONSTANTLY ACCUSING us before God, but PRAISE GOD we have Jesus our High Priest who stands before the Father on our behalf and since Jesus is the BEST DEFENSE attorney in the entire UNIVERSE we are judged NOT GUILTY for we have been washed in the Blood of the Lamb.

In Verse 9, we a Christians are NOT to RUN, but to RESIST and to FIGHT, rather than FLEE.  We are to RESIST in the STRENGTH and POWER of Jesus and NOT our own. Our VICTORY comes when we remain committed to God, because He is GREATER than OUR ENEMY and Satan and his demons TREMBLED at the Name of Jesus Christ.

In verse 10, we as Christians are told that God WILL make our way STABLE, despite the instability we feel, living in a world that inflicts suffering upon us. God WILL give us the ABILITY to SUCCEED in ALL that we do for Him.  God helps us face the attacks of our enemy, by building in in a FIRM FOUNDATION that will make us STEADFAST and IMMOVABLE.

In verse 11, we are reminded by Peter that God is in CONTROL of ALL thing both in this world and throughout eternity.  "Amen" at the end of verse 11, echoes a Jewish practice of declaring that EVERYTHING that had been said is TRUE and that the hearers were committed to putting into practice that Truth.

God's Words of Wisdom

"Greetings in the Name of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ for 7 December 2013, from Cindi, a daughter of the King of kings and Lord of lords."

Today's Bible Verse: Hebrews 12:28-29 "Therefore, since we are receiving a kingdom which cannot be shaken, let us have grace, by which we may serve God acceptably with reverence and godly fear.  For our God is a consuming fire."

The earth shook at Mount Sinai and the earth will shake at the end of time, Matthew 24:29.  But the kingdom of God will not be shaken, for it will endure throughout ALL ETERNITY, Luke 18:29.  The writer of the Book of Hebrews says in verse 29, "Our God is a consuming fire" as he concludes his lengthy warning to those who are tempted to abandon the FAITH, Hebrews 2:1-12;29, with a vivid description of God''s Judgment, Deuteronomy 4:24.  The Lord WILL judge His people, Hebrews 10:27,30.

We as Christians need to let THANKFULNESS. temper ALL our thoughts.  When we have a THANKFUL mindset, it will then KEEP us in TOUCH with God.  God DISLIKES it when we as His children GRUMBLE, casually despising His sovereignty.  THANKFULNESS is a SAFEGUARD against GRUMBLING, and furthermore, a GRATEFUL ATTITUDE becomes a grid, through which we can PERCEIVE LIFE.

Our GRATITUDE as Christians, enables us to see the LIGHT of His PRESENCE shining on ALL our CIRCUMSTANCES, no matter how DARK or STORMY they may become.  We need to cultivate a THANKFUL HEART, for our GLORIES God who FILLS us with His JOY.  The kingdom alone WILL remain when the universe itself is shaken and the CREATION disappears. 

May we today, CHOOSE to be THANKFUL.  May we CHOOSE NOT to GRUMBLE.  May we CHOOSE to come before God with a HUMBLE and GRATEFUL heart, in ALL that we SAY and DO.  How good it is to be a CITIZEN of the Kingdom of God.

God's Words of Wisdom

"Greetings in the Name of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ for 11 August 2013, from Cindi, a daughter of the King of lings and Lord of lords."

Today's Bible Verse: Galatians 5:22-23 "But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, longsuffering, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, self control, against such theer is no law."

The word "fruit" is significant for three reasons:

(1) It means the result, product, outcome, or effect produced by the Spirit in believers
(2) Unlike the "gifts of the Spirit" only which some are given to a Christian, each believer
      is to have all nine virtues of the "fruit of the Spirit."
(3) As fruit on a tree takes time to grow and mature, so the Spirit does not cultivate these
      virtues in the believer overnight.

The "Fruits of the Spirit" are:

(1) Love: which is the filling sacrificial giving of ones self for the benefit of another without
                 the thought of return
(2) Joy: is the gladness of heart
(3) Peace: is tranquility of mind, from us from worry and fear
(4) Longsuffering: is patience with others, the opposite of short temper, a disposition and
                                quietly bearing injury
(5) Gentleness: is kindness
(6) Goodness: is generosity
(7) Faith: is dependability
(8) Meekness: is gentleness, courtesy, and consideration in ones relationship with others
(9) Temperance: is self control and the ability to harness and control ones passions and
      lusts

The Spirit is like an engine.  He provides energy for the new nature, which drives the believer in the opposite direction from sin nature.  His works are obvious as well, for the Spirit produces the fruit of the Spirit in the believers personality.  In contrast to the works of the flesh, which any individual is capable of preforming, the fruit of the Spirit can be produced only by God. 

The Christians character thus results from "Christ living within us." For this fruit to develop, all nine aspects of the fruits of the Spirit must mature.  the character of Christ is the fullest manifestation of this fruit in the New Testament.  Though Jesus did not recognize he traditions of men, His enemies were unable to prove any charges against Him.

We as Christians today, should allow the Holy Spirit to develop this character within us, so that we might be blameless before others, and not hinder the testimony of Jesus.  Praise God for the life changing experience that we have through the Holy Spirit, which we receive the second that we accept Jesus Christ as our Lord and Savior.  Praise God From Whom All Blessings Flow.

God's Words of Wisdom

"Greetings in the Name of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ for 21 July 2013, from Cindi, a Daughter of the King of kings and Lord of lords."

Today's Bible Verse: Proverbs 9:1 "Wisdom has built her house.  She has hewn out her seven pillars."

In 9:1, we see the final contrast between wisdom and folly.  Each hold a banquet, one for life in verses 1-6 and one for death in verses 13-18.  Between the banquet descriptions, is a section in verses 7-12, that speaks of the consequences of the life of wisdom and the plight of folly.  Verse 1, as in 1:20, denotes wisdom is in the intensive plural rather than the singular.  It calls attention to itself.

Seven pillars represents completeness, as it often does in Semitic poetry.  That is, it is not that there were more precisely seven pillars so as much as that the house of a wisdom was solidly built and of substantial character.

The Wisdom of God, is used in three senses in the Scripture.  First, it refers to the higher prospectively by which God understands things that man in incapable of understanding, 1st Corinthians 1:25.  Second, it can refer to the understanding which a Christian should have in life, Proverbs 4:7.  Third, wisdom is seen as a type of Christ, who is our wisdom, 1st Corinthians 1:30.

When David said that Abner died as a fool in, 2nd Samuel 3:33, he meant that Abner died because he had followed his own intuition, rather than the wisdom of God, which would have saved him.  He was killed as he turned aside in the gate of Hebron.  Had he entered the "City of Refuge" as God had instructed, Joab would have been unable to kill him. 

When we fail to follow where the Holy Spirit guides us, our Heavenly Father will discipline us, just as our earthly father does, and we will learn that wise Christians, will obey the Wisdom of God. 

Have a God Filled and Spirit Led Day.  Go in Peace and Serve the Lord our God with Gladness.  Love God More Today.  ALWAYS remember, that when you have a spiritual, emotional, relational, physical, and financial dilemma in your life, and you yell out, "I CAN'T," GOD WHISPERS to you, "BUT I CAN."

God's Words of Wisdom

"Greetings in the Name of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ for 30 June 2013, from Cindi, a Daughter of the King of kings and Lord of lords."

Today's Bible Verse: Deuteronomy 6:4-5 "Hear O Israel: The Lord our God, the Lord is One!  You shall love the Lord your God with all your heart, with all your soul, and with all your strength."

The fundamental concept of the Shema (the name of the passage which is the first word in Hebrew: Hear) is that God is One and NOT many god's.  By definition, there can be only One all-powerful, infinite, limitless God.  To speak of more than One Supreme, Absolute, Perfect, and Almighty God, to say something contradictory.  There CANNOT be two absolutes, for then there would be NO absolutes.  By revelation, we as Christians know that only YAHWEH is that One God.  There is nothing in your life that should come between you and Almighty God.

Moses repeatedly exhorted the Israelites to respond to God's love and devotion.  In this context, the word translated "love" may mean "to take ones choice in."  God commanded His people to choose Him with "All there being" and in the process, to deny all other supposed deities.  Complete love for our Abba Father, SHOULD NOT be a duty, but a daily desire to have His Arms wrapped around us, and showering us with His Love, His Care and His NEVER ENDING Grace.

Have a God Filled and Spirit Led Day. Go in Peace and Serve the Lord our God with Gladness. Love God More Today. ALWAYS remember, that when you have a spiritual, emotional, relational, physical, or financial dilemma in your life and you tell out, "I CAN'T," GOD WHISPERS to you, "BUT I CAN."

God's Words of Wisdom

"Greetings in the Name of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ for 26 June 2013, from Cindi, a Daughter of the King of kings and Lord of lords."

Today's Bible Verse: Psalm 34:4-7 "I sought the LORD, and He heard me, and delivered me from all my fears.  They looked at Him and were radiant, and their faces were not ashamed.  This poor man cried out, and the LORD heard him, and saved him out of his troubles.  The angel of the LORD encamps all around those who fear Him, and delivers them."

We as Christians need to PRAISE God, for His continued goodness to us.  David in this Psalm calls on the hearer to "taste and see" that the Lord is GOOD.  He take the role of a teacher, and urges his people to do good, assuring them that God supervises the results of their choices and responds to the cry of the righteous.

"He heard me" is a classic statement of PRAISE in the Psalms.  God is praised for the DELIVERANCE He provides in response to the Prayers of His people.  Those who come to God in prayer as David did, found themselves transformed; it was as if they also experienced what Moses had on Mount Sinai (Exodus 34:39; 2nd Corinthians 3:18).  "Poor man" would refer to the needy as well as the humble, whom the Lord delights to deliver ( Psalm 47:6).

In verse 6, David says, "This poor man cried out, and the LORD heard him, and saved him out of his troubles."  The key in this verse is "when we call."  David realizes that he could have called on God while still in his homeland, not after he ventured into the land of Israel's enemies.

The phrase "angel of the LORD" and the name of God are often interchanged.  With the sense of God hovering over or surrounding the believer in this manner, there would be no need to fear, even in the most troubling of time.

In verses 4-7, God tell His children "I am with you and all around you, encircling us in golden rays of light."  God will ALWAYS behold us Face to face.  Not one of our thoughts escape God's notice, and because God in infinite, He is able to love us as if were the only ones in the entire universal (Thank You Jesus).

We as Christians need to walk with Him in intimate Love-steps, and not lose sight of God's Majesty.  Our Abba Fathers desire is to be our closest FRIEND, yet He is also our sovereign Lord.  He created our brain with the capacity to know Him as a Friend and as Lord simultaneously.  The human mind is the pinnacle of His Creation, but so few use it for it primary purpose, "Knowing God." 

God communicates continually through the Holy Spirit, His Words, and His Creation.  We as humans are capable of receiving God and His Presence.  We my friends, are indeed fearfully and wonderfully made in the image of Almighty God.

God's Words of Wisdom

"Greetings in the Name of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ for 1 May 2013, from Cindi, a Daughter of the King of kings and Lord of lords."

Today's Bible Verse: Romans 8:38-39 "For I am persuaded that neither death nor life, nor angels nor principalities nor powers, nor things present nor things to come, nor height nor depth, nor any other created thing, shall be able to separate us from the love of God which is in Christ Jesus our Lord."

Wow!!! I am so loving these two verses from Paul, where he tells us that "NOTHING" will ever separate us from the Love of our Abba Father, through His Son, Jesus Christ.  Paul struggled for words to describe the absolute certainty of God's Love for believers.  Nothing hard or dangerous, neither death nor life can separate us.  If God, the "uncreated One" is for us, and no created thing can separate us, then our security and safety is absolute in Him.

We cannot be separated from God's Love, because it is set forth in a person who is God Himself, Jesus Christ, our Savior.  God's desire to redeem believers cannot be frustrated, because it is His "purpose."  It is our relationship with God that brings us victory, for He has chosen us not to dwell in the pit of sin, but to be transformed into the image of His Son.

God will "NEVER FORSAKE" us, nor even permit us to be charged with sin.  We as sons and daughters of the King of kings and Lord of lords, are God's Loved ones.  The emphasizes here is that "nothing" can, will, or separate us from the Love, Mercy, and Grace of our Abba Father through Jesus Christ our Lord.  With a LOVE that strong, and that REAL, shouldn't we willing  to go wherever, and do whatever  the Indwelling Power of the Holy Spirit directs us in our daily lives?  Our everyday prayer to the Lord should be that of Isaiah, in Isaiah 6:8, "Here I am Lord, send me."  Seek the guidance if the Holy Spirit and pick up you Cross and follow in the footsteps of Jesus.

Do not be discouraged by the difficulty of keeping your focus on God.  God knows that out hearts desire is to be aware of His Presence continually.  As Christians this should be our goal everyday.  We as human aim toward it but never fully achieve it in this life.  We need not let the feelings of failure weigh us down.  Instead, we need to try to see ourselves as God see us.  God is delighted by our deep desire to walk closely with Him through our daily life's.

God is pleased each time that we come to Him in Prayer and Communication with Him.  God is aware of our progress with Him as a growing and maturing Christian who is living in His Presence.  When we realized that our mind has wandered from God, we are not to be alarmed or surprised, because we live in a world that has been rigged to distract us.  We need each day to plow our way through the massive distractions to communicate with God, so that we can achieve the ultimate victory that comes through our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ.  May we rejoice in the triumphs we achieve through Jesus, that He may increasingly light up our daily lives.

Have a God Filled and Spirit Led Day. Go in Peace and Serve the Lord our God with Gladness. ALWAYS remember, that when you have a spiritual, emotional, relational, physical, or financial dilemma in your life, and you yell out, "I CAN'T," GOD WHISPERS to you, "BUT I CAN."
