Forever the Fool

YET TO BE # 241

The fool hath said in his heart there is no God.

You believe there is one God. You do well. The devils also believe and tremble.

The preaching of the cross is to those that perish foolishness.

Reference: psalm 14 verse 1, James 2 verse 19, 1 Corinthians 1 verse 18.

God’s Promise: I will never leave you.

Lo, I am with you all way, even to the end of the world.

Yet To Be #156

“Loneliness is an unpleasant emotional response to perceived isolation.”


As a child of God, we must remember that God promised never to leave or forsake us.
Sometimes when circumstances are overwhelming, we forget to remember the Bible is God’s word to us, every chapter, every verse, and every line. Scripture is given to us for rebuke, correction, and instruction. A passage from the Old Testament may speak about a character from the past but, it can also be relatable to us today. God’s word is fresh and applicable in the past, in the present, and forever.
God promised to Jacob, “Behold, I am with you, and will keep you in all places wherever you go and will bring you again into the land; for I will not leave you until I have done that which I have spoken to you of.”
Again in Deuteronomy, chapter 31 verse 6 Moses spoke to the children of Israel to encourage them with the truth. He said, “He (God) it is that goes with you, He will not fail you, nor forsake you.”
This promise passes throughout the Old Testament and well into the New Testament. Jesus the only begotten son of God says, “Lo, I am with you all way, even to the end of the world.”
As He was with the children of Israel, we are His children, and He will help us also.
He is God and changes not.

(reference verses: Genesis 28:15, Malachi 3:6, Deuteronomy 31:6, Matthew 28:20, 2 Timothy 3:16)

Ask and it shall be given unto you

A Matter of Praying…part 4 – Teach us how to pray

Prayer

No one can really teach you how to pray to God, save the Holy Spirit who dwells in every child of God. 

When we do not know what to say the Holy Spirit gives us the words.  Helps us to dig deep down and express our self. 

How to talk to God.

  1. Call him by his name. What do we call him when we try to talk to him? In any relationship we call that other person by their name. We ought to do the same with the Creator.  Call him, God.
  2. Get personal. As you get closer to him things will change. You will become more comfortable in addressing him.  The Aramaic term Abba appears 3 times in the Greek New testament. Some Christians translate it as “Daddy” as an intimate greeting. And another aspect that goes deeper in understanding the endearment of Abba is obedience.  “Father, I will obey.” (Romans 8:15)
  3. Reverence. He maybe our Father but he is not our old man.  We are to have respect for him in how we speak to him and how we come to him.  Come to him with all sincerity of heart and having a clean and free conscience. (Matthew 6:9-13)
  4. Keep it simple.  Say what you mean and mean what you say.  If you want something Jesus says to ask for it.  “Ask and it shall be given unto you.” (Matthew 7:7)
  5. Never make a promise you can’t keep.  Don’t make a vow you can’t keep because God will hold you accountable.  Be careful what you say.  He hears every word and knows every deed.  Ecclesiastes 5:5
  6. Time.  Is there a good time? The best time or a better time to pray to God?  There is no fixed time to come to God.  You can come to him at anytime; He never sleeps. (Psalm 121:4)

God is not a man that he should lie.

A Matter of Praying…part 2 or 5 Privileges as a Child of God

God has children, children who are adopted into His family.  Every new believer who has accepted Christ as Saviour is grafted into the family of God and has a seat at the table of God. We are joint-heirs with Christ and heirs of God.

Being a Child of God has its privileges; knowing the Creator of this vast universe inclines his ear to hear our prayers and answers every one of them. This is a promise from God.

When He makes a promise they are fulfilled. He is a Father but not an earthly man and therefore he can never tell a lie. Unlike us He is perfect and all His words and ways are right.

To understand Him is to get to know him.

By spending time with him, talking to him, and reading His word we draw near to Him.  As we draw to God, He in turn comes near to us because He cannot deny Himself. 

If He gave the son of His love to save this present evil world, how can he withhold any good thing from us?

He remains faithful because He is faithful.

How awesome is that?

Being a Child of God has 5 of the best privileges.

  1. We are adopted into the family of the True and Living God.  Romans 8:15-17
  2. We are joint heirs with Christ and heirs of God. Everything is ours: life, love, joy, peace.  Psalm 50:10
  3. He hears us at all times. Jeremiah 33:3, 2 Corinthians 1:20
  4. He is not a liar. Numbers 23:19.  What He says, He will do and not disappoint.
  5. He is faithful. James 4:8 and 2 Timothy 2:13

They shall be my children…

He is Our Father…

River in Spring and Winter 2021

God said, “I will gather them together from all the corners of the earth.

Nations, kindred, people from generation to generation, those who are great with a future and those who have nothing.

The sick, lame and blind, will they all come.

They will gather by the waters for rest and for refreshment,

There will be no more weeping, no fainting; not even a soul shall stumble.

They shall be my children and I will be their Father.”

( reference: Jeremiah 31 verse 8 and 9)
