THE PRIMARY SIN OF S***M AND GOMORRAH WAS SEXUAL IMMORALITY AND STRAGE FLESH

Was S***m’s Primary Sin R**e? Or Lack of Hospitality?
Some have argued that r**e was the primary sin of S***m. So let’s start with examining that position. One such example is listed below:

Arriving at the crux of the narrative in Gen 19:9 we see the true intent of the S***mite men coming to the fore. In v. 9a the men forcefully order Lot to stand back, since they are unsatisfied with his daughters as a counter-offer. The men then call Lot’s immigrant status into account (lit.: this one came in as a foreigner); לגור-בא האחד by accusing him of severely condemning their behavior (lit.: and he will surely judge; שׁפוט וישׁפּט), suggesting that if Lot was a sojourner, then he was socially inferior to the native-born S***mite men. One should notice at once a connection with the honor/shame value system mentioned in the previous section, suggesting that Gen 19:1–11 might be working with the concept that same-sex in*******se was a tool of the state for political violence. The virulent intensions of the townsmen become all the clearer in v. 9b when they proclaim לך נרע עתה” (now, we will violate you!”), to which the men attempt to break down Lot’s door. Simply put, the S***mites were not promiscuous men looking for in*******se—they sought to violently assault Lot and r**e his guests.1
Another recent hypothesis about the main sin of S***m (and one which is often taught in concert with the “r**e” hypothesis) is the lack of hospitality position.

In this article, I argue that the view of the S***m and Gomorrah story held by the Christian Right as well as conservative biblical scholars overlook the presence and role of women in the entire narrative about the cities, beginning in Genesis 13. As this presence and role are acknowledged, I further assert that it is more logical to assume that the sexual orientation of the men and women of S***m and Gomorrah is heterosexual rather than homosexual. In arguing this, I wish to undercut the dangerous understanding that the “sin” of S***m is homosexuality in need of annihilation in our society. Instead I assert that the wickedness of these cities is the inhospitable treatment of resident aliens and sojourners at its worst, through the sexual humiliation of r**e, linked with the wickedness of idolatry.2
From the text of Genesis 19:4-9 though, if r**e was the primary sin of S***m, then the men of the city would have been just as willing to take Lot up on his suggestion to sexually abuse his daughters. If the men of S***m were using r**e as a means to humiliate “outsiders,” then wouldn’t Lot’s daughters have qualified since Lot was considered an outsider (verse 9)? Some have even postulated that this may be one reason Lot didn’t offer his wife—she was most likely from S***m, therefore an “insider.” To address the potential question that the r**e of the women would not have been as humiliating as the r**e of men during this time period and in the Middle East, we need to keep in view what happened about 100 years later in Genesis 34. In that chapter, Simeon and Levi killed all the men of Shechem because of the r**e of their sister Dinah. The narrative in that chapter makes this claim a weak one. The fact that the men of S***m so quickly (and unanimously) refused Lot’s offer of his daughters shows that r**e could not be the primary sin of the men of S***m.

Notice the wording of this passage in Genesis 19:4–9,3 they wanted Lot to offer them the men (angels in the form of men) as sexual playthings. They had no interest in sexual relations with women; only after Lot offered them a heterosexual alternative did they then decide that they would now forcefully seize and r**e Lot (“deal worse with you”), and this would have been in contrast to the way they had desired to "deal with them." In other words, in threatening to now r**e Lot, they were admitting that their desire for the angels was pure lust, not dominance in the form of r**e. There were likely many cases of r**e in S***m, but it seems clear that all the men of the city (except Lot, and perhaps his sons-in-law mentioned in verse 14) had become bisexual or preferentially homosexual.

Furthermore, if the sin had just been men of S***m wanting to r**e, then why judge the women of the city? Why were they not counted among the righteous when Abraham pleaded for S***m (Genesis 18:23-33) and stopped at 10? Simply put, even the women of the city were unrighteous and wicked, so the blame cannot simply be on the actions of these men.

Therefore, the reference to their wickedness and ordained destruction by God beforehand (in Genesis 13:13 and 18:20) is entirely appropriate, because it was sexual sin (in this case homosexuality) which God considered “grievous” or “grave,” then later condemned and destroyed S***m (and the other cities of the plain) for. The propensity for violence, r**e, and adultery (which must have also been occurring in S***m, since there were no women present at this mob scene) are all factors here though. God considers all sexual sin abhorrent in his eyes (Galatians 5:19-21).

“Blessed are you when others revile you and persecute you and utter all kinds of evil against you falsely on my account. Rejoice and be glad, for your reward is great in heaven, for so they persecuted the prophets who were before you.” Matthew 5:11-12

Persecution is when people say and do bad things to you because you believe in Jesus. Why should we rejoice if people kick us out of our home, beat us, or even kill us? Today, many followers of Jesus are persecuted. Here are a few points that give us God’s perspective on persecution.

1. Christ’s Followers Should Expect Persecution
Jesus told his followers, “If the world hates you, know that it has hated me before it hated you” (John 15:18). Jesus did not come to earth to become popular, but to die. He did not promise us an easy, trouble-free life, nor did he model this kind of life. The Apostle Paul went on to say, “Indeed, all who desire to live a godly life in Christ Jesus will be persecuted” (2 Timothy 3:12).

2. God Shapes Our Character through Persecution
Just as coal becomes a diamond through tremendous pressure, God develops us and makes us mature through trials. “Not only that, but we rejoice in our sufferings, knowing that suffering produces endurance, and endurance produces character, and character produces hope” (Romans 5:3-4). God does not say it will be pleasant. In fact, “For the moment all discipline seems painful rather than pleasant, but later it yields the peaceful fruit of righteousness to those who have been trained by it” (Hebrews 12:11).

3. We Experience Christ More Closely Because of It
“That I may know Him and the power of his resurrection and the fellowship of his sufferings, being conformed to his death” (Philippians 3:10). Often we just want the “good stuff” that comes from following Christ. Yet the Apostle Paul tells us clearly that in suffering, we actually have fellowship with Christ. Even for those who don’t face literal death for Jesus’ sake, we are called to die daily to our flesh and our own desires (Colossians 3:3-5, Galatians 2:20).

4. The Rewards are Eternal
There was no earthly benefit for Jesus’ first followers. Almost all of them were killed for their faith (Hebrews 11:35-40). Yet these followers, along with you and I, will experience eternal life with God and have joy beyond description. God’s word says “What we suffer now is nothing compared to the glory [God] will reveal to us later.” (Romans 8:18). We can all look forward to the reward of being with God when we continue to believe in Him despite trouble and persecution.

12/03/2023

Our suffering has a wonderful and powerful purpose in God’s kingdom, just as Jesus’ suffering did. His suffering made a way for us to come to Him. Our suffering lights the way He made for people around us. How?

When we rejoice in our suffering (Matthew 5:10-12) others around us see how different we are, and are amazed that someone could truly experience joy in time of suffering.

There is great power in forgiveness! Remember how you felt when God forgave you your sin and made you His child? We can offer a taste of that to those who harm us too – forgiveness that is not earned or deserved, but given because we are like our Savior!

The power of undeserved love is just as great. Love attracts others to us, like moths are attracted to light. Then through our love, they get to know Jesus’ love for them.

As I slipped under the covers in the hotel room this past weekend, I sunk my head on the pillow and enjoyed a good night’s sleep. But I confess, years ago, I’d never be able to do that—travel by myself, unable to see the surroundings, spend the night alone in a hotel in a strange city. And to add to the stress, I had to get up and deliver a keynote speech before influential folks. Before my blindness, that would never have happened. But when I learned to walk by faith and not by sight, life began to look good, and nights came with peaceful sleep.

I engraved in my heart these three keys which David gives in Psalm 27. They erased anxiety and fear:

Recognize who holds our life, our troubles and our struggles: “The LORD is my light and my salvation- whom shall I fear? The LORD is the stronghold of my life - of whom shall I be afraid?” (Psalm 27:1, NIV)
Declare victory when the enemies that rob our peace and the intruders of anxiety attack: “When evil men advance against me to devour my flesh, when my enemies and my foes attack me, they will stumble and fall.” (Psalm 27:2, NIV)
We claim with confidence In God’s power, In His mighty strength and His faithfulness to bring the victory—the triumph even when we don’t see the answer: “Though an army besiege me, my heart will not fear; though war break out against me, even then will I be confident.” (Psalm 27:3

John 17:1-26
17:1 When Jesus had spoken these words, he lifted up his eyes to heaven, and said, “Father, the hour has come; glorify your Son that the Son may glorify you, 2 since you have given him authority over all flesh, to give eternal life to all whom you have given him. 3 And this is eternal life, that they know you, the only true God, and Jesus Christ whom you have sent. 4 I glorified you on earth, having accomplished the work that you gave me to do. 5 And now, Father, glorify me in your own presence with the glory that I had with you before the world existed.

6 “I have manifested your name to the people whom you gave me out of the world. Yours they were, and you gave them to me, and they have kept your word. 7 Now they know that everything that you have given me is from you. 8 For I have given them the words that you gave me, and they have received them and have come to know in truth that I came from you; and they have believed that you sent me. 9 I am praying for them. I am not praying for the world but for those whom you have given me, for they are yours. 10 All mine are yours, and yours are mine, and I am glorified in them. 11 And I am no longer in the world, but they are in the world, and I am coming to you. Holy Father, keep them in your name, which you have given me, that they may be one, even as we are one. 12 While I was with them, I kept them in your name, which you have given me. I have guarded them, and not one of them has been lost except the son of destruction, that the Scripture might be fulfilled. 13 But now I am coming to you, and these things I speak in the world, that they may have my joy fulfilled in themselves. 14 I have given them your word, and the world has hated them because they are not of the world, just as I am not of the world. 15 I do not ask that you take them out of the world, but that you keep them from the evil one. 16 They are not of the world, just as I am not of the world. 17 Sanctify them in the truth; your word is truth. 18 As you sent me into the world, so I have sent them into the world. 19 And for their sake I consecrate myself, that they also may be sanctified in truth.

20 “I do not ask for these only, but also for those who will believe in me through their word, 21 that they may all be one, just as you, Father, are in me, and I in you, that they also may be in us, so that the world may believe that you have sent me. 22 The glory that you have given me I have given to them, that they may be one even as we are one, 23 I in them and you in me, that they may become perfectly one, so that the world may know that you sent me and loved them even as you loved me. 24 Father, I desire that they also, whom you have given me, may be with me where I am, to see my glory that you have given me because you loved me before the foundation of the world. 25 O righteous Father, even though the world does not know you, I know you, and these know that you have sent me. 26 I made known to them your name, and I will continue to make it known, that the love with which you have loved me may be in them, and I in them.”

Ephesisans 2:8-10 For it is by grace [God’s remarkable compassion and favour drawing you to Christ] that you have been saved [actually delivered from judgement and given eternal life] through faith. And this [salvation] is not of yourselves [not through your own effort], but it is the [underserved, gracious] gift of God; not as a result of [your] works [nor your attempts to keep the Law], so that no one will [be able to] boast or take credit in any way [for his salvation]. For we are His workmanship [His master work, a work of art], created in Christ Jesus [reborn from above – spiritually transformed, renewed, ready to be used] for good works, which God prepared [for us] beforehand [taking paths which He set], so that we would walk in them [living the good life which He prearranged and made ready for us].

REJECTION OF JESUS CHRIST WILL TAKE YOU DOWN TO THE PIT:

John 12:48 Whoever rejects Me and refuses to accept My teachings, has one who judges him; the very word that I spoke will judge and condemn him on the last day.

John 3:36 He who believes and trusts in the Son and accepts Him [as Saviour] has eternal life [that is, already possesses it]; but he who does not believe the Son and chooses to reject Him, [disobeying Him and denying Him as Saviour] will not see eternal life, but instead the wrath of God hangs over him continually

Today the Holy Spirit asked me to build a firm foundation of Truth from many scriptures throughout His Holy Word. We all understand the Stone mentioned throughout was Jesus Christ Himself and the Builders mentioned are the Jews, the chosen people and nation.

The bible declares that Hell was never intended for man but for the devil and his demons (Matthew 25:41). Those who reject Jesus Christ choose to follow Satan, and they follow him right into his ultimate destiny, in spite of all that God has done to save them from the fiery abyss.

Part of the judgement which will be used against those who deny Christ is the ample evidence they have been given. In that sense, "the word that [Jesus has] spoken" becomes evidence against them. This applies to more than just people who saw Jesus in person. It includes every single person who has ever lived, because God has made Himself plain enough so that no one has an excuse for disbelief (Romans 1:18-20).

There are only two options about the Father's sending His Son to earth: to believe in His Son or reject Him as the Saviour. There are two mutually exclusive alternatives to enter eternal life: believe or disbelieve. The one who believes in the Son has and holds eternal life. The moment a person believes, he already has eternal life. Thus eternal life begins at the point of salvation. Eternal life is thus a present possession of those who believe in Christ. The one who believes passes through the portal of eternal death to eternal life.

This is the truth. Revolt against the Son's message cuts one off from eternal life at the point one dies. He who does not believe rejects the Son. The literal meaning of "does not believe", means to disobey or reject the Son. The idea here is to "obey not" This word carries the idea of refusal to submit.

The wrath of God is predetermined towards those who reject Jesus Christ as Saviour. The person who rejects the Son will spend eternity in hell. Hell will abide on the person who does not believe in the Son. He is under the eternal sentence of death. The person who does not believe has the wrath of God on him while he lives; he will receive unalterable wrath from God for eternity in hell.

Brothers and sisters, you do not get the option of sitting on the fence when it comes to Jesus Christ. In regards to your salvation, you must make a clear unequivocal decision to believe on Him. Remember, men and women are already in a lost state from the beginning. There is no neutral ground when it comes to making a decision about Jesus Christ. You have two options only. From your own free will you have to m make a choice. Either we pass judgement on ourselves as unbelievers or we accept Christ believing who He is and what He did. Every person on the earth make make this decision.

The Bible describes Jesus as the cornerstone that His church will be built on. He is foundational. In building of construction projects, a cornerstone was the principal stone. The cornerstone was one of the largest and most carefully constructed. Once the cornerstone was set, it became the basis for determining every measurement, everything was aligned to it. Thus, as the chief cornerstone of the church, Jesus is our standard of measure and alignment. In other words, God promises to send the cornerstone, His precious Son, who will provide the firm foundation for our lives, if we would but trust in Him.

Unfortunately, not everyone aligns with the cornerstone. Some accept Christ; some reject Him. Jesus is the "stone the builders rejected".

Most choose to reject God's chosen precious cornerstone. Most rebel against God. They want to build something different. They pursue their own building project. Most choose to reject Christ and in so doing, disregard Gods plan in favour of their own plan. Judgement is promised to all those who reject Jesus Christ. "Anyone who falls on this stone will be broken to pieces; anyone on whom it falls will be crushed" (Matthew 21:44).

This message today is just pure simple gospel. It is not complicated. A child could understand this message. Everyone on the earth has to make a decision There will come a time when every single person on the planet will have to make a choice. You have only two choices. You can choose to believe that Jesus Christ is the Son of God and died for your sins, giving you the opportunity to be washed of your sins by the blood of the Lamb, or you can choose to disbelieve that Jesus Christ is the Son of God and died at Calvary for you, to give the opportunity of salvation. And that which you choose will determine your eternity.

I have preached the gospel today and provided ample evidence from the bible what the truth is. Now you must make the decision. You must make it. Today is literally your day of salvation. I pray with my whole being that you have made the right choice to believe in our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ.

Global Intercession and prayer moment - God Works Inside Out

Do you know there is a difference between religion and a relationship? Perhaps you have seen the ways religion can be rules-based, harsh and stifling. In contrast, our relationship with Jesus should be much different: personal, open, warm and liberating.

Jesus wants us to come to Him the way a little child comes to a loving parent. For example, my wife, Wendy, and I were always delighted when one of our six youngsters would run up to us, arms outstretched for a hug, and then nestle in, completely at rest and filled with trust.

May I ask you to do something out of the ordinary? Regardless of your age, become a “little child” for a minute. Come to Jesus as one would to a loving parent. No requests. No expectations. You don’t have to brush your teeth or comb your hair. Simply come and linger in His presence, experiencing His love for you. Why not take a moment to do this right now?

13/10/2022

In our daily meditations, we continue to look at some of the teachings of the Lord Jesus. In a confrontation with the ruling powers of the day, Jesus told them they could be set free: “Then you will know the truth, and the truth will set you free" (John 8:32)

12/10/2022

The gall of bitterness, like the heart of hearts, means the center of bitterness. It is referring to the innermost recesses of the heart.

11/10/2022

Intercessory prayer is prayer for the needs of others. Praying for others is an unselfish expression of love.

Why does God want us to pray for others? Because intercessory prayer reflects God’s own character of outgoing love and mercy. God wants us to think like He does, and praying for others helps us to think beyond ourselves and to grow in compassion for others.

21/09/2022

If we move before we receive direction from God, we move without His presence. We must wait, knowing that God’s thoughts and plans are different than ours.
Navigating through the call to preach as a young man was incredibly difficult. Questions like “What makes an effective minister?” and “How do you lead and inspire others?” along with growing into your own leadership and preaching style, can be humbling. One question that I continued to return to was, “How do I influence the people that I’m called to minister to in an effective way?” In their book Spiritual Leadership, Henry and Richard Blackaby argue that leaders seek to influence people too often through three illegitimate ways: “Position, Power, and Personality.”

It can be easy for us to think these ways are not illegitimate because they’re the most common ways that we see people lead. Unfortunately, this is true in the church as well as in secular society. Too often, the church celebrates men with outgoing personalities and prominent positions in such a way that younger ministers seek to imitate them and believe that’s the best way to lead. As the Blackaby’s point out in their work, ministers need the presence of God more than anything else.

My prayer for my own soul is that I would get to, and remain at, a place like Moses in Exodus 33. In that passage, Moses determines that he and Israel could not move and go forth to inhabit the land God promised them without the Lord being present. In Exodus 33:15, Moses said to him,” If your presence will not go with me, do not bring us up from here. For how shall it be known that I have found favor in your sight, I and your people? Is it not in your going with us, so that we are distinct, I and your people, from every other people on the face of the earth?” Herein lies the one thing that we need as pastors: the presence of God. What we build by our own intellect, giftings, and personality can be taken down in a day. Here are three ways to cultivate and protect the presence of the Lord in our ministries:

First, spend undistracted alone time with God
Moses had an intimate relationship with God. So much so that God called Moses his friend and delighted in speaking to him personally. It is in the early moments of the morning or late at night when the kids are in bed that we can especially get away to hear from God. His presence will not manifest itself with us if we’re leading on spiritual emptiness and aren’t making time to spend with Him. In fact, throughout the ministry of Jesus, we see Him going into isolation so that He can rest and hear from God. We must pray as Solomon did in 2 Chronicles 1:10, “Give me wisdom and knowledge, that I may lead this people.” As we pray and go before the Lord, we want to fight against our time with Him becoming routine and mundane.

Second, remind yourself that living for the approval of others will lead you to despair
Sometimes, we forfeit God’s presence by being overly concerned with what other people think about us. As a result, this fear causes us to close our ears to God’s will. Suddenly we’re making decisions to be accepted by others. When things turn sour and don’t go the way we think they should, we often forget about or minimize the fact that we didn’t follow the Lord’s voice. Read and mediate on these verses:

“The fear of man lays a snare, but whoever trusts in the Lord is safe.” Proverbs 29:25

“Woe to you, when all people speak well of you, for so their fathers did to the false prophets.” Luke 6:26

“For am I now seeking the approval of man, or of God? Or am I trying to please man? If I were still trying to please man, I would not be a servant of Christ.” Galatians 1:10

Finally, don’t move without confidence that God is with you
Moses got stubborn in Exodus 33 and refused to move into the promised land without the presence of the Lord. In reading the passage, the reader can sense that Moses was not going to be moved. As leaders, we must see having the Lord’s manifest presence with us as a non-negotiable. When we don’t hear from God, we’re to wait on Him until we do. Many times the presence of God is forfeited through presumption and impatience; both are evidence of pride. Just like King Saul forfeited his throne through impatience, we too will forfeit seeing God’s power at work through us if we’re not careful. David prayed in Psalm 19, “Keep back your servant also from presumptuous sins; let them not have dominion over me! Then I shall be blameless, and innocent of great transgression.” If we move before God calls us to or before we receive direction from him, we move without his presence. Instead of being presumptuous we must pray and wait knowing that God’s thoughts and plans are different than ours.

30/08/2022

Luke 13:24-25 "O Jerusalem, Jerusalem, who kills the prophets and stones [to death] those messengers who are sent to her [by God]! How often I have wanted to gather your children together [around Me], just as a hen gathers her young under her wings, but you were not willing!" Listen carefully: your house is left to you desolate [abandoned by God and destitute of His protection]; and I say to you, you will not see Me until the time comes when you say 'Blessed is He Who Comes In The Name Of The Lord.

Jesus, as He was approaching Jerusalem, He could see the past centuries of what transpired in this city and had been repeated over and over again. He could see the present day of His time in Jerusalem and what was transpiring before Him, and He could also see the future of Jerusalem and what was to take place in the time to come.

The history painted the grave picture of generations of people from Jerusalem. They had repeatedly , time and time again, rejected God and His law and would kill the messengers that God would send to them to tell them to turn back to Him and repent. Yet instead of heeding to the prophets of God, the very ones God was trying to save, they would instead kill these prophets and refuse to listen.

ARE YOU DEAD IN SIN OR ARE YOU DEAD TO SIN?

Romans 6:10-11 For the death He died, He died to sin [ending its power and paying the sinner's debt] once and for all; and the life that He lives, He lives to [glorify] God [in unbroken fellowship with Him]. Even so, consider yourselves to be dead to sin [and your relationship to it broken], but alive to God [in unbroken fellowship with Him] in Christ Jesus.

THE PRIMARY SIN OF SODOM AND GOMORRAH WAS SEXUAL IMMORALITY AND STRAGE FLESH

THE PRIMARY SIN OF SODOM AND GOMORRAH WAS SEXUAL IMMORALITY AND STRAGE FLESH Was Sodom’s Primary Sin Rape? Or Lack of Hospitality? Some have argued that rape was the primary sin of Sodom. So let’s start with examining that position. One such example is listed below: Arriving at the crux of the narrative in Gen 19:9 we see the true intent of the Sodomite men coming to the fore. In v. 9a the men forcefully order Lot to stand back, since they are unsatisfied with his daughters as a counter-offer. The men then call Lot’s immigrant status into account (lit.: this one came in as a foreigner); לגור-בא האחד by accusing him of severely condemning their behavior (lit.: and he will surely judge; שׁפוט וישׁפּט), suggesting that if Lot was a sojourner, then he was socially inferior to the native-born Sodomite men. One should notice at once a connection with the honor/shame value system mentioned in the previous section, suggesting that Gen 19:1–11 might be working with the concept that same-sex intercourse was a tool of the state for political violence. The virulent intensions of the townsmen become all the clearer in v. 9b when they proclaim לך נרע עתה” (now, we will violate you!”), to which the men attempt to break down Lot’s door. Simply put, the Sodomites were not promiscuous men looking for intercourse—they sought to violently assault Lot and rape his guests.1 Another recent hypothesis about the main sin of Sodom (and one which is often taught in concert with the “rape” hypothesis) is the lack of hospitality position. In this article, I argue that the view of the Sodom and Gomorrah story held by the Christian Right as well as conservative biblical scholars overlook the presence and role of women in the entire narrative about the cities, beginning in Genesis 13. As this presence and role are acknowledged, I further assert that it is more logical to assume that the sexual orientation of the men and women of Sodom and Gomorr

4 Facts About Persecution. What’s so Great About Suffering?

“Blessed are you when others revile you and persecute you and utter all kinds of evil against you falsely on my account. Rejoice and be glad, for your reward is great in heaven, for so they persecuted the prophets who were before you.” Matthew 5:11-12 Persecution is when people say and do bad things to you because you believe in Jesus. Why should we rejoice if people kick us out of our home, beat us, or even kill us? Today, many followers of Jesus are persecuted. Here are a few points that give us God’s perspective on persecution. 1. Christ’s Followers Should Expect Persecution Jesus told his followers, “If the world hates you, know that it has hated me before it hated you” (John 15:18). Jesus did not come to earth to become popular, but to die. He did not promise us an easy, trouble-free life, nor did he model this kind of life. The Apostle Paul went on to say, “Indeed, all who desire to live a godly life in Christ Jesus will be persecuted” (2 Timothy 3:12). 2. God Shapes Our Character through Persecution Just as coal becomes a diamond through tremendous pressure, God develops us and makes us mature through trials. “Not only that, but we rejoice in our sufferings, knowing that suffering produces endurance, and endurance produces character, and character produces hope” (Romans 5:3-4). God does not say it will be pleasant. In fact, “For the moment all discipline seems painful rather than pleasant, but later it yields the peaceful fruit of righteousness to those who have been trained by it” (Hebrews 12:11). 3.

God’s power revealed in us

Our suffering has a wonderful and powerful purpose in God’s kingdom, just as Jesus’ suffering did. His suffering made a way for us to come to Him. Our suffering lights the way He made for people around us. How? When we rejoice in our suffering (Matthew 5:10-12) others around us see how different we are, and are amazed that someone could truly experience joy in time of suffering. There is great power in forgiveness! Remember how you felt when God forgave you your sin and made you His child? We can offer a taste of that to those who harm us too – forgiveness that is not earned or deserved, but given because we are like our Savior! The power of undeserved love is just as great. Love attracts others to us, like moths are attracted to light. Then through our love, they get to know Jesus’ love for them.

Ways to Overcome Anxiety

As I slipped under the covers in the hotel room this past weekend, I sunk my head on the pillow and enjoyed a good night’s sleep. But I confess, years ago, I’d never be able to do that—travel by myself, unable to see the surroundings, spend the night alone in a hotel in a strange city. And to add to the stress, I had to get up and deliver a keynote speech before influential folks. Before my blindness, that would never have happened. But when I learned to walk by faith and not by sight, life began to look good, and nights came with peaceful sleep. I engraved in my heart these three keys which David gives in Psalm 27. They erased anxiety and fear: Recognize who holds our life, our troubles and our struggles: “The LORD is my light and my salvation- whom shall I fear? The LORD is the stronghold of my life - of whom shall I be afraid?” (Psalm 27:1, NIV) Declare victory when the enemies that rob our peace and the intruders of anxiety attack: “When evil men advance against me to devour my flesh, when my enemies and my foes attack me, they will stumble and fall.” (Psalm 27:2, NIV) We claim with confidence In God’s power, In His mighty strength and His faithfulness to bring the victory—the triumph even when we don’t see the answer: “Though an army besiege me, my heart will not fear; though war break out against me, even then will I be confident.” (Psalm 27:3

NOBODY WHO IS LIVING IN SIN IS SAVED BY GRACE

Ephesisans 2:8-10 For it is by grace [God’s remarkable compassion and favour drawing you to Christ] that you have been saved [actually delivered from judgement and given eternal life] through faith. And this [salvation] is not of yourselves [not through your own effort], but it is the [underserved, gracious] gift of God; not as a result of [your] works [nor your attempts to keep the Law], so that no one will [be able to] boast or take credit in any way [for his salvation]. For we are His workmanship [His master work, a work of art], created in Christ Jesus [reborn from above – spiritually transformed, renewed, ready to be used] for good works, which God prepared [for us] beforehand [taking paths which He set], so that we would walk in them [living the good life which He prearranged and made ready for us].

REJECTION OF JESUS CHRIST WILL TAKE YOU DOWN TO THE PIT

Global Intercession and prayer moment

Global Intercession and prayer moment - God Works Inside Out Do you know there is a difference between religion and a relationship? Perhaps you have seen the ways religion can be rules-based, harsh and stifling. In contrast, our relationship with Jesus should be much different: personal, open, warm and liberating. Jesus wants us to come to Him the way a little child comes to a loving parent. For example, my wife, Wendy, and I were always delighted when one of our six youngsters would run up to us, arms outstretched for a hug, and then nestle in, completely at rest and filled with trust. May I ask you to do something out of the ordinary? Regardless of your age, become a “little child” for a minute. Come to Jesus as one would to a loving parent. No requests. No expectations. You don’t have to brush your teeth or comb your hair. Simply come and linger in His presence, experiencing His love for you. Why not take a moment to do this right now?

What Does It Mean to be a Slave to Sin?

THE GALL OF BITTERNESS WILL LAY WASTE TO YOUR SOUL:

The gall of bitterness, like the heart of hearts, means the center of bitterness. It is referring to the innermost recesses of the heart.

Jesus’ example of intercessory prayer

Intercessory prayer is prayer for the needs of others. Praying for others is an unselfish expression of love. Why does God want us to pray for others? Because intercessory prayer reflects God’s own character of outgoing love and mercy. God wants us to think like He does, and praying for others helps us to think beyond ourselves and to grow in compassion for others.
