It’s been a little time sense I last communed with you. I trust the Lord my Savior and our Father God to keep you. Yes he is able to keep what we have committed unto him against that day. I tell you, your in good hands. And God hears and answers my prayers. Let’s see now. For those who have been following on this site. We’ve been learning to live like children of the Kingdom. Some have been newly born again. But to those new followers, we began by showing them where to start in their bible reading. The Gospel of John. Then we said to read it over and over again before they start on the other three Gospel writers. Matthew, Mark, And Luke. In review, all four Gospel writers shared an account of the life and ministry of Jesus Christ. They shared from different perspective giving us the whole picture. We also instructed the new believers to pray the prayers found the Ephesians 1 and Ephesians 3; putting their name in place of the Ephesian’s name. And to thank God everyday that he had answered them. You only have to ask once, but thank him daily for everything you’ve prayed. That means you must look at that prayer as your thanking him. Will talk about different kinds of praying in another post. Then, God would begin to open their understanding of the scriptures. They were also to thank God for all their brothers and sisters in Christ, that he would do the same for them. Then we taught the importance of being filled to overflowing with his Spirit. And a few more things that are on the website. Fill free to read each post and be enriched.
Okay. Alright. The Word and the Spirit agree.
Now what is meant by that? God would never allow his Holy Spirit to give you information that is against what he has already written in his word. Isn’t that wonderful. That’s a place of safety for you when you hear anyone preach or teach or say the Lord said this or that. That’s a place of great safety for you when you sense a leading in your own heart. For instance, the Lord would never tell you to do anything that what hurt your brother. So listen closely to what’s being said. If you feel like something is leading you to talk abrasively to another. Hold that. Stop and pray. Ask the Lord to help you to keep things clear in your heart. Here is one of the best ways to keep what’s coming up inside of you pure. Read 1 Corinthians 13 everyday. This is what it says: If I speak in the tongues of men and of angels, but have not love, I am only a ringing gong or a clanging cymbal. 2. If I have the gift of prophecy and can fathom all mysteries and all knowledge, and if I have absolute faith so as to move mountains, but have not love, I am nothing. 3. If I give all I possess to the poor and exult in the surrender of my body,a but have not love, I gain nothing.
1. Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. 5. It is not rude, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no account of wrongs. 6. Love takes no pleasure in evil, but rejoices in the truth. 7. It bears all things, believes all things, hopes all things, endures all things.
2. Never fails. God is Love. The Holy Spirit is so Lovely. Jesus was the express image of God’s Love. You can be at peace for, God who is Love, never fails. You keep his word and he’ll keep you safe. Now I have a new assignment for you. I want you to look in the book of Colossians. It’s also written by the Apostles Paul. It was written to the church he form in the town of Colossae. In the first chapter there is a prayer starting in verse 9 and it goes through 14. Read this prayer. Compare it to the ones in the book of Ephesians, and see if you can find something different to add to your daily prayer for yourself and for your brothers and sisters in the Lord. This will enhance your prayer life. And give God a greater ability to move on your behalf. For it is his Word that he can move on to bless you. Once you’ve prayed these new things in. Thank him daily for you answers. God bless you and crown your efforts with success. Minister Alberta Richard
