Coming off...

I just completed a 3 day fast with someone who asked me to join them for some revelation in their life. This is where the not so quite "Random" Revelations from the Bible have been coming from and it was placed on my heart to share these truths in The Good News. When we are called to Fast, it is serious. It's a hard process. We need to press in to God's heart in every way available to us. I am very honored that this person asked me to join in with them, because that is what we're here for. We're here for one another. And as we help one another, we benefit as well. God never returns anything void.

So below are some more things to think about concerning life, and living for God in this life:

THE MAN WHO FEARS GOD IS BLESSED!

Romans 1:20 (NIV) "For since the creation of the world God's invisible qualities-his eternal power and divine nature-have been clearly seen, being understood from what has been made, so that men are without excuse."

-There is no excuse as to why you don't believe in and serve God.

We've got to glorify (reveal God's glory in our actions) God and thank Him every day. (:25) The Creator is forever praised!

Do not use the freedom that God has given to us, to indulge in sin. Crucify (kill) the sinful nature and passions.

• EMBRACE WISDOM:

1. Wisdom protects and watches over those who don't forsake her.
2. Esteem (respect and admire) wisdom and she will exalt (hold you in high regard; speak very highly of...) you.
3. Embrace wisdom and she will honor you. - Fear of the LORD is the beginning of knowledge. Only fools despise wisdom and discipline.

• Guard (watch over to keep safe) your heart.
• Look straight ahead, fix your gaze directly before you. Not in the past or so far in the future that you're not in the present. - Do not swerve to the left or the right.
• Make level paths for your feet and only take ways that are firm. God will show you which ways are firm when you seek Him.
• Wisdom keeps us from being led astray. From entering into the wrong places and/or on evil paths. And from listening and receiving persuasive words, or seducing smooth talk.

• Keep your foot from evil.

1. Sinners will try to entice (attract/tempt by offering pleasure or advantage) you. DO NOT GIVE IN.
2. Do not set foot in their paths, they are only after ill-gotten (illegal/unfair) gain.

• Put away perversity (unreasonable/unacceptable behavior/sexually perverted/contrary) from your mouth.

1. Keep corrupt (dishonest; evil; morally depraved; unreliable) talk from your lips.

• FORGIVE, FORGIVE, FORGIVE... Don't forget to FORGIVE:

1. ALL those who sin against you. Forgive them and move on. When you hold on to any hurt, you give it power in your life. Let the Holy Spirit have the power.

• The FRUIT OF THE SPIRIT is LOVE, JOY, PEACE, PATIENCE, KINDNESS, GOODNESS, FAITHFULNESS, GENTLENESS, AND SELF-CONTROL.

What fruit do you experience in your life? You should have it all!

• Since you live by the Spirit, keep in step with the Spirit.

• LOVE one another. All your actions should be done in love.

- There is no fear (deals with punishment) in LOVE.

• Use God's freedom to serve one another.

1. Do not become conceited, provoking and envying each other.
2. Don't quarrel. Fighting over words is of no value, only ruins those who listen.

If you have faith in Jesus, you would do what He did on this earth. You will do even greater things because of the Holy Spirit. Jesus will do what You ask in His Name -->so that the Son many bring GLORY to the Father.

Remember: Romans 2:16 "God will give to each person according to what (they) have done." - This is to tell you that a relationship with God is ACTIVE, not passive.

• Persist in doing good - for God brings glory, honor and peace to everyone who does good.
• Do your best to present yourself approved to God.

1. No shame.
2. Correctly handles the Word of Truth.
3. Avoids godless chatter. When you do, you become more and more ungodly. Keep the Word on your lips always. God should be a part of every area of our lives. Not just church, praying at night or when we're desperate.
4. Remember God builds and watches over you.
5. Fear God only! Walk in His ways and eat the fruit of your labor; blessings and prosperity will be yours.

DARKNESS DOES NOT UNDERSTAND THE LIGHT THAT LIVES IN YOU!
