Feelings vs. God's Truth

Romans 12:10 (The entire chapter is so good!)
Be kindly affectionate to one another with brotherly love, in honor giving preference to one another;

I thought of this verse after listening to this podcast. It is so dangerous to base our relationship with God and others on our feelings. Yeah, sure these feelings vindicate our behavior and what we say, we FEEL. But what does God say in His word how we are to treat one another? Even in private relationships! When you think no one sees, God sees! We harm ourselves, as well as those we SAY we love.

Father God, help us to think about what we say before we speak. You say our words can hurt others. You say much in Your Holy Word about how to treat others, even our enemies, and certainly our loved ones.

Show us our hearts and the truth of why we are saying what we say that may be hurting others. Guard our minds and our mouths. Let the meditation of our hearts and the words of our mouths be acceptable in Your sight, O Lord my God, and my Redeemer. Awaken us to Your truth before it is too late and we have hurt someone again, and before our mouths are closed in this world forever. In Jesus' name. Amen.

     "When granted many years of life, growing old in age is natural, but growing old with grace is a choice." Billy Graham   PSALMS 92:12-15  The righteous shall flourish like a palm tree, He shall grow like a cedar in Lebanon. Those who are planted in the house of the Lord Shall flourish in the courts of our God.   They shall still bear fruit in old age; They shall be fresh and flourishing, To declare that the Lord is upright; He is my rock, and there is no unrighteousness in Him.   I was born again 70 years ago. Eight years after my mother gave me birth, Father God gave me His Holy Spirit because His Son, Jesus Christ was born of a virgin to die for my sins and give me a clean heart so that I could be born of His Spirit. Born Again!   The New Birth  (John 3:1-17)   There was a man of the Pharisees named Nicodemus, a ruler of the Jews.  This man came to Jesus by night and sa

What are good Bible verses for healing?

Image
   Psalm 147:3: He heals the brokenhearted and binds up their wounds. Proverbs 17:22: A joyful heart is good medicine, but a crushed spirit dries up the bones. James 5:15: And the prayer of faith will save the one who is sick, and the Lord will raise him up. And if he has committed sins, he will be forgiven.   Isaiah 33:24  "And the inhabitant shall not say, I am sick: the people that dwell therein shall be forgiven their iniquity."   Frazer's commentary on Isaiah 33:24  in Penny Pulpit says in short,  original sin is the root cause of sickness.    Matthew Henry's commentary on Isaiah 33:24, " The people that dwell therein shall be forgiven their iniquity, not only the body of the nation forgiven their national guilt in the removing of the national judgment, but particular persons, that dwell therein, shall repent, and reform, and have their sins pardoned. And this is promised as that which is at the bottom of all other favours; he will do so and so fo

Is Your Name Written There?

Image
Revelation 13:8 KJV   "All inhabitants of the earth will worship the beast—all whose names have not been written in the Lamb’s book of life, the Lamb who was slain from the creation of the world."   I believe the ones in the tribulation time who have not accepted Jesus will be the ones whose names will not and can not be written in the Lamb's Book of Life. This is the only restriction. God knowing whose names are there is not a restriction on having one's name written there.  It is our choice to be part of the elect, but we MUST CHOOSE JESUS!  Repent today and ask Him to forgive your sins, and invite His Holy Spirit into your heart.  The Heavenly Father is waiting for you to come. He is ready to write your name in the Lamb's Book of Life. Come to the REAL JESUS today!  Isaiah 30:18 (NLT) But the Lord still waits for you to come to him so he can show his love and compassion. For the Lord is
