There are three parts to Truth: Knowledge, Understanding, and Experience. You can have all the knowledge of truth, but without experience, you can’t have understanding. Without experiencing the knowledge of the truth that was given you, you have no idea if it is truth or not because you haven’t proved it or it hasn’t been proven to you.
For instance, how can you expect to believe in someone who claims to know truth if they cannot prove it to be true in some way or another? Jesus made sure that there were witnesses that can say they saw and heard what Jesus did and teach. (more…)
Pursuing Vanity and Worshipping False Gods | The Glory is God’s
2 Kings 17:14-15, But they would not listen, they were more stubborn than their ancestors had been who had no faith in Yahweh their God. They despised His laws and the covenant He had made with their ancestors, and the warnings He had given them. The Glory is God’s
They pursued emptiness (vanity), and themselves became empty through copying the nations round them although Yahweh had ordered them not to act as they did. (more…)
Live in Lies | Liars | Malicious Lips | Slanderous Tongue | Falsehood
Proverbs 17:4, ‘An evil-doer pays attention to malicious lips, a liar pays attention to slanderous tongue.
Proverbs 19:22, ‘A man’s attraction lies in his kindness, better a poor man than a liar.
Jeremiah 9:3, They bend their tongue like a bow; Not truth but falsehood predominates in the land; yes, they go from crime to crime.
There is no such truth to what people call a “white lie”. A lie is a lie, there are no big and little lies. People try to down size sins by deceiving themselves in making them out to be innocent, causing no damage. They can’t see the damage they are doing to themselves when they Live in Lies because the darkness is blinding and no one can see in the dark. (more…)
Jesus was telling His disciples about what was coming up soon. He was trying to reassure them that He would be coming back to them after His death.
Jesus says to His disciples in John 16:33, ‘ I have told you all this so that you may find peace in Me. In the world you will have trouble, but be brave: I have conquered the world.’
The peace that Jesus is talking about comes from within, but can only happen if you follow Him. Jesus said, ‘I am the way, the truth, and the life’. Jesus will bring us to that inner peace by helping us to conquer the world and ourselves. It will take a lot of work and sacrifices on our part. (more…)
Judges 21:25, In those days there was no king in Israel, and every man did as he pleased.
This scripture is so true when you see how it is no different today then it was back in those days. In the Old Testament they had God to follow if they chose to. In these days, the New Testament, we have Jesus as a choice to follow and when He returns, Jesus will be King of Kings for all people, not just Israel. (more…)
It was a beautiful thing finding the Lord and being touched by the grace of God. The blessings that I received from God were unspeakable and filled with His love. Then the time came when I was going to have to learn what to do to draw closer to God and be obedient to Him. Well, this is where seeking Truth comes in.
After I decided that I was going to give my life over to the Lord and exchange my will for God’s will, I knew that I was going to have to change my life and my lifestyle for the sake of overcoming my sinful nature. I never realized that it was going to be that difficult and painful but, it was well worth it. (more…)
Wisdom 3:1-5, ‘But the souls of the virtuous are in the hands of God, no torment shall ever touch them. In the eyes of the unwise, they did appear to die, their going looked like a disaster, their leaving us, like annihilation; but they are in peace.
If they experienced punishment as men see it, their hope was rich with immortality; slight was their affliction, great will their blessings be. God has put them to the test and proved them worthy to be with Him.’ (more…)
Don’t Be Disobedient to God – Be Obedient to God and Live
Obedience: is the act of following instructions or orders from a person with authority, or the trait of being willing to obey. (definitions.net)
The Fall of Man From Being Disobedient to God
Romans 5:19, ‘As by one man being disobedient (Adam) many were made sinners, so by one man’s obedience (Jesus) many will be made righteous.’
Adam was disobedient to God by partaking of the fruit from the Tree of Good and Evil (Genesis 3:6). Jesus was completely obedient to God and did not sin at all. Jesus led His life according to the will of God and by being obedient to Him. (more…)
In Galilee, when a man wants to ask a woman to be his bride, the man and his father meet the woman and her father in town where there will be many witnesses. The father of his son brings with him a written covenant with stipulations that he will read to the woman that his son wants to marry.
After the covenant is read, the son will then offer a cup of wine to the woman. If the woman takes the cup and drinks from it then she accepts his proposal of marriage and if not then she rejects his offer. (more…)
“Artificial intelligence, in its broadest sense, is intelligence exhibited by machines, particularly computer systems.” Wikipedia
Why seek Artificial Intelligence that is from a machine rather than from the One true God who is real and gives out Wisdom and Knowledge freely?
The Takeover of Artificial Intelligence
Artificial Intelligence is showing up all over and it’s taking the place of many programs that we had to create and/or run. Soon, we won’t have to do anything, you type in some information and AI will do it for you.
Just think, oops my mistake there won’t be any need to think because AI will be doing that for us. Okay, just imagine, oops there I go again, we won’t need to imagine anymore either because AI will do that for us as well. (more…)
Battle Your Thoughts by Changing Your Thought Process
Ephesians 6:12,13, ‘For it is not against human enemies that we have to struggle, but against the Sovereignties and the Powers who originate the darkness in this world, the spiritual army of evil in the heavens. That is why you must rely on God’s armor, or you will not be able to put up any resistance when the worst happens, or have enough resources to hold your ground.’
Pray to Jesus and ask Him to clothe you in the armor of God and the helmet of salvation and the double-edge sword of truth and the shield for protection against your enemies. Pray always to God for strength to resist any and all temptations and self-indulgences and ask for help with your thought process.
2 Corinthians 10:3-5, ‘We live in the flesh, of course, but the muscles that we fight with are not flesh. Our war is not fought with weapons of flesh, yet they are strong enough, in God’s cause, to demolish fortresses. We demolish sophistries (deceptive reasoning), and the arrogance that tries to resist the knowledge of God; every thought is our prisoner, captured to be brought into obedience to Christ. Once you have given your complete obedience, we are prepared to punish any disobedience.’ (more…)
God’s Word is darkness to the flesh because the flesh belongs to the world and the world is darkness. The flesh knows no truth, it keeps the truth locked up in the soul. The flesh is nothing more than pride, it wants to cater to itself first. It rebels against God because God’s way is the opposite of the way the flesh wants to live and be.
The flesh knows very little or nothing about God’ Word, sin or repentance, and when your conscience tries to tell you that something is wrong and you want to do it anyway. You try to think of a way to justify that there is nothing wrong so that you can do it without feeling guilty. The flesh is always seeking the temporary happiness of what the world has to offer. Sometimes, the flesh will stop at nothing to acquire that happiness. (more…)
Tribulation Period | Second Coming of Jesus Christ
The Tribulation Period | The antichrist
They say that in the book of Revelation we are at a time when the next prophetic event to take place will be the peace treaty in Israel that involves the antichrist. Once this takes place, it is supposed to start the seven year Tribulation period.
Daniel 9:27 ‘He will make a firm covenant with many for the space of a week; and for the space of one half-week he will put a stop to sacrifice and oblation, and on the wing of the Temple will be the disastrous abomination until the end, until the doom assigned to the devastator.’ (more…)
Acknowledge Your Sins and Take an Inventory of Yourself
1John 1:9, ‘But if we acknowledge our sins, then God who is faithful and just will forgive our sins and purify us from everything that is wrong.’
When we acknowledge our sins, not only do we admit that we are a sinner, but also see the sins that we commit. Take an inventory of yourself and write down your sins. Ask Jesus to help you recognize the sins that you commit so that we can stop rebelling against God.
In James and Psalms it says, Jas. 5:15,16, ‘So confess your sins to one another.’ Psalms 32:5, ‘At last I admitted to you I had sinned; no longer concealing my guilt, I said, ‘I will go to Yahweh and confess my fault. And you, you have forgiven the wrong I did, have pardoned my sin. (more…)
Sin is Disobedience to God, His Law and His Commandments
What is Sin?
Sin can be complex and confusing. There are such a multitude of sins that can cause different consequences to us when they are committed. Sometimes, we don’t even see the consequences of sin because they may happen to us later on when the time is right. We don’t recognize that the bad thing that happened is the result of a sin we committed in the past. This is one of the reasons why we need to learn about sin. (more…)
