The Third Commandment: Taking the LORD'S name in vain. The world runs rampant and unchallenged-- and believers too (because we hear it so often!). I used to say it openly to people and I still do, but I also find myself getting timid at times. At those latter times, I say to myself and to our God, "Father, forgive them for they know not what they do." This is true. But the LORD Himself convicts me by saying that's really, essentially, a copout. Would I allow someone to speak badly or lightly or disrespectfully or rudely-- or worse-- about my wife or mother? Not at all! How much more should I not give myself or someone else a pass when they misuse or speak evil of or blaspheme the NAME of God Almighty, the Lord of Hosts!
Let's do what Daniel did. This is important! He RESOLVED not to DEFILE himself in one area and we must do the same in another area.
Repentance is a must. It leads to salvation and eternal life. It's the one KEY ingredient in the recipe that makes it or breaks it. We're really not hearing that today. I can attest and testify to that. Please listen and receive the Word of the Lord.
There are very important and significant differences in these two words and their usage, according to the Spirit who teaches and reveals all things. They are spiritually discerned. Please read the Word with this in mind. I know I SHALL.
We need to be aware of a set of beliefs that are not new, but that seem- overtly and covertly- to be affecting the Body of Christ. You may have already been exposed and not realized it. This is not to scare or to embellish, but to make you aware of it. Take it to the Lord to see what you should do concerning it. It can have profound effects on your faith and Christian walk.
Are you spiritually beyond the milk? Has the Lord weaned you? Are you hungry and thirsty for something more than what you may be eating and drinking? It may be OF the Father and FROM the Father and is certainly going to be answered BY the His Son, our Savior.
This book is new and on Amazon The Lord put this on my heart quite heavily and dictated it to me. All I did was listen and write it down straight from His heart to mine.
Are you tired and frustrated over a particular sin that seems to have you in a cycle of sin? I and a friend are, so I sought the Lord. This is what he taught me through the Word.
Please listen and be ready to receive and obey. Blessings to you. (The first and greatest commandment).
There's more the Father wants to impart to us in His effort and will to make us more like Our Savior! And it's necessary, so we might as well buckle up.
There is another side to the issue of Once-Saved-Always-Saved.
All I really need to say is that we ALL need this!!! I would go so far as to say this may be the most important podcast/episode the Lord has ever had me to do. (That's NOT CLICKBAIT-- I don' like or do that!). Please listen and do what it says, don't just think about it; you'll have no one to blame but yourself. In Christ's love.
Always let the Lord God Almighty be the determining factor (not man, not feelings or emotions) in all important matters. The Lord sets up and removes kings, it just looks like we do. And the standard is slight, it seems, but different than what you might believe.
Praise is generally good, but flattery is not. The Bible talks and warns about this more than you might think and the Word-- the Hebrew and the Greek-- has a lot of specific things to teach us. Stay out of the snare!
Ooh, Boy! This is a GOOD one. Thank You, Holy Spirit! Please listen to this wonderful Word from 1 Corinthians 10:13. It may mean much more than you think (and I thought).
The prophet that Almighty God sent to the Governor, the High Priest and the people in the Old Testament, He uses today to speak to us what we really need to honestly take an inner look at. God loves us as His sons and daughters-- if we've been born again-- and so He says, "Consider Your Ways."
What does this mean? And how do we live it out? What has to change in our hearts and minds? Why is this important? Join us and find out so God's will and your will can align, and others can be rescued as we have been. It's crucial.
We do try to obey the Lord and His commandments, we try to do heavenly tasks that are pleasing to Him and we may even be involved in a "ministry," but God wants-- first and foremost-- to do something else.
Assimilation and Compromise OR a Commitment to Holiness? Are you a CHRISTian? Let's find out. If yes, this HAS to mark your life. If not, THIS is required.
