Life

Scripture of the day:

Genesis 3:24 (KJV)
So he drove out the man; and he placed at the east of the garden of Eden Cherubims, and a flaming sword which turned every way, to keep the way of the tree of life.

...so... They could have eaten from the tree of life to begin with? I think I always assumed that they couldn't eat that one too...

Just thinking through it... Ok, eat from the tree of the knowledge of good and evil and I'll surely die... Eve must have been truly convinced she'd be ok to just eat the fruit especially when life was sitting right there...

It just goes to show how listening to satan's lies can get us to do crazii things!

But thanks be to God... Thanks be to God...

Revelation 2:7 (KJV)
He that hath an ear, let him hear what the Spirit saith unto the churches; To him that overcometh will I give to eat of the tree of life, which is in the midst of the paradise of God.

Detroit EFM

I'm watching Let It Rip on Fox 2 and they are talking about the emergency manager for Detroit... It's set up like there is a debate with the different sides represented. It gives the viewer the impression that one view is correct and the rest are wrong. This is false. The arguments represented share one key element. They are all anti Christ... and without Jesus, they are wrong and will fail.

Scripture of the day:

Matthew 7:13
Enter ye in at the strait gate:for wide is the gate, and broad is the way, that leadeth to destruction, and many there be which go in thereat:

Multiplication

Divine relationships produce fruit.

Scripture of the day!

Genesis 4:1
And Adam knew Eve his wife; and she conceived, and bare Cain, and said, I have gotten a man from the Lord.

Watch What You Watch

You watch a tv show.. get engaged... your mind is influenced by the visuals you see.. and afterwards an invitation/altar call... but not a come to Jesus moment.. a come to satan moment... lot of people model their actions based on tv and pop culture. If shows pump up fornication, suddenly it doesn't seem like a big deal.. and people fornicate more.. If tv says homosexuality is alright, then its easier for people to think that being gay is ok. Sports usually hype up idolatry and the news gives demonic prophecies all the time..."Crime is going up... allergy season is coming... New killer bacteria are out..." It's almost impossible for the believer to keep himself totally away from these things, but we need to be conscience of what we are feeding ourselves and how it is affecting us.

Scripture of the day!

Ephesians 5:3-7
But fornication, and all uncleanness, or covetousness, let it not be once named among you, as becometh saints; Neither filthiness, nor foolish talking, nor jesting, which are not convenient:but rather giving of thanks. For this ye know, that no whoremonger, nor unclean person, nor covetous man, who is an idolater, hath any inheritance in the kingdom of Christ and of God. Let no man deceive you with vain words:for because of these things cometh the wrath of God upon the children of disobedience. Be not ye therefore partakers with them.

3/11/13 Father Knows Best

If you eat from the fruit of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil, you will surely die... Not eat from the tree and get kicked out of Eden...God wanted to stop them from messing up again. He didn't want them to live forever by that fruit of the tree..(If we lived forever, could we die with Christ in baptism?) the fruit of the tree that gives us life is Christ nailed to the cross... Sometimes the Lord blocks stuff that looks like Eden to save us from dangers unseen.

Scripture of the day:

Genesis 3:22-23
And the Lord God said, Behold, the man is become as one of us, to know good and evil:and now, lest he put forth his hand, and take also of the tree of life, and eat, and live for ever: Therefore the Lord God sent him forth from the garden of Eden, to till the ground from whence he was taken.

Is this commercial disturbing to anyone else? Why is she holding on to the umbrella?...its like she wants to keep it... then she's happy with what seems to be controlled depression...

*true healing comes from Christ Jesus*

Scripture of the day:

Exodus 7:10-12
And Moses and Aaron went in unto Pharaoh, and they did so as the Lord had commanded:and Aaron cast down his rod before Pharaoh, and before his servants, and it became a serpent. Then Pharaoh also called the wise men and the sorcerers:now the magicians of Egypt, they also did in like manner with their enchantments. For they cast down every man his rod, and they became serpents:but Aaron's rod swallowed up their rods.

3/9/13 Make Me Whole II

You ever have something you loved and the enemy came along and took it from you? The feeling sucks but God is interested in making you whole... And He will.

Scripture of the day:

Genesis 4:25
And Adam knew his wife again; and she bare a son, and called his name Seth:For God, said she, hath appointed me another seed instead of Abel, whom Cain slew.

3/7/13 Make Me Whole

March 7, 2013

Scripture of the day!

John 5:6-9
When Jesus saw him lie, and knew that he had been now a long time in that case, he saith unto him, Wilt thou be made whole? The impotent man answered him, Sir, I have no man, when the water is troubled, to put me into the pool:but while I am coming, another steppeth down before me. Jesus saith unto him, Rise, take up thy bed, and walk. And immediately the man was made whole, and took up his bed, and walked:and on the same day was the sabbath.

Before this, it talks about how the first person to get in the water after it was troubled received healing. Those people got healed (by the grace of God) by there efforts... They must have hurried to be the first in the water and the winner of the physical match was healed. Sadly, by leaning on their own understanding and being impatient, they overlooked Jesus. One was healed in the water and missed Him perhaps because he saw no need for a savior in his new condition. Multitudes missed out on Him on that occasion because they were focus on getting their healing their way... which wasn't working out for them. One man, however, (and possibly more) could not rely on his own efforts. He was totally broken and dependent; he knew he had great need. He wasn't even in a position where he could come to Christ... So Christ came to him.. and healed him and made him whole.

Thought for today:
When we feel like we're in a position where we cannot fix things on our own we are in a position for Christ to come into our lives and make us whole.

3/6/13 Clean Heart

A woman was caught in the act of adultery... Funny the man wasn't... The church folk brought her to Jesus and although their intent to was to condemn, God meant it for good and she found forgiveness. He (the man) and the other "church folk" saw themselves as perfect... didn't recognize their sin... did not go to Jesus... did not find forgiveness... did not experience Jesus' love.

Scripture of the day

Psalms 51:10
Create in me a clean heart, O God;
and renew a right spirit within me.
