There’s a difference between tired and being weary. Weary means we loosen our hold on doing what God wants us to. Galatians 6:9 (Amplified Bible, Classic Edition) And let us not lose heart and grow weary and faint in acting nobly and doing right, for in due time and at the appointed season we shall […]
Slothful (meaning in the Greek translation): no care, seeking to know nothing, finding purpose in knowing nothing. We’re living in a world where people don’t care what the Word of God says. God wants us to have fruit in our life, but the field of the slothful is all grown over with thorns and nettles. […]
If we don’t have mercy (compassion, forgiveness, forbearance shown especially to an offender), we will have bitterness (hardness, unforgiving, resentful, and angry). Luke 6:36 Be ye therefore merciful, as your Father also is merciful. We need compassion and forgiveness toward each other to follow peace with them, otherwise there’ll be a root of bitterness and […]
Paul was chained when he was in Mamertine prison’s dungeon. There he had someone write his words, that we’re not given fear but power and a sound mind. A sound mind is calm, disciplined, self-controlled, and wise in making decisions. II Timothy 1:7 For God hath not given us the spirit of fear; but of […]
God wants true worshippers that will worship him in spirit and in truth. John 4:22-24 Ye worship ye know not what: we know what we worship: for salvation is of the Jews. But the hour cometh, and now is, when the true worshippers shall worship the Father in spirit and in truth: for the Father […]
We don’t give thanks for evil or for sin, but we give thanks to God for what he’s done for us in every situation. I Thessalonians 5:18 In every thing give thanks: for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus concerning you. God owns everything so all we can really give him is […]
The love of God is not an emotional love, but it is love through the Holy Ghost. Just because the love of God is in us doesn’t mean we’re going to act out that love. We have to learn some of the attributes of love so we can put them in action. We don’t have […]
It is vitally important that we have private prayer with God. If you don’t have private prayer at home and the only times you pray is at church, you’re not praying to God but to be seen of men. There’s something wrong with the motive of the heart and it is not one that pleases […]
My brethren, count it all joy when ye fall into divers temptations; Knowing this, that the trying of your faith worketh patience. But let patience have her perfect work, that ye may be perfect and entire, wanting nothing. James 1:2-4 We are asked to see the value of temptations in relation to our spiritual joy. […]
And when the days of his mourning were past, Joseph spake unto the house of Pharaoh, saying, If now I have found grace in your eyes, speak, I pray you, in the ears of Pharaoh, saying, My father made me swear, saying, Lo, I die: in my grave which I have digged for me in […]
