guard your attitude

 

Proverbs 4:23 “Keep your heart with all diligence, For out of it spring the Issues of life.”

We would be hard pressed to find a more important Scripture for success in life – Your Best Life comes from your heart! If your heart is sour, your life will be too, same if it’s stingy, disagreeable, negative, cynical.

This is like working hard to keep your ATTITUDE right. Don’t let your heart get stolen by jealousy, hatred, fear, doubt, cynicism. How many people do you know who have not gotten over an offence & developed a cancerous attitude towards the group or person who offended them? Every area of our lives are affected by our attitude.

Thank you Lord for the great Holy Spirit who shapes our attitude to please God & bless people. ‘Be filled with The Spirit!’.

See you in Church!

 

Blessing

Genesis 26:12 “Then Isaac  sowed in that land, and reaped in the same year a hundredfold; and the LORD blessed him.”

God told Isaac to ‘stay’ in the land, even though there was a famine. His father Abraham had gone down to Egypt during a famine in his day & picked up many problems. Isaac obeyed God & ‘stayed’ & ‘sowed’ in the Promised Land. The land was the ‘place’ of covenant. It’s us remaining in the church, the ‘place’ God has prepared for us.

In a time of drought & famine, Isaac stepped out & sowed seed. We must keep giving even in famine. Sowing & giving are synonomous in Paul’s writings. 

Our harvests don’t just fall in our lap. We must go out & reap the answers to our prayers. Blessings always falls on the obedient. God was quick to display His pleasure with Isaac – In the same year – He reaped ‘100 fold’.

See you in Church!

 

life & health

Proverbs 4:22 “For they are life to those who find them, And health to all their flesh.”

When people find the Word (that has gained access to our heat), they will discover LIFE! People find things because they are seeking them. They are looking for them. Those with no hunger for the Word, will not ‘ find it’. Jesus speaks of 4 kinds of hearts that receive the Word – Only one bears fruit 0 Casual hearts, stony heats, distracted hearts don’t get to receive the Word.

We must reprogram our sub-conscious -‘By His stripes I am healed!’

Healing is in the Word, “He sent His Word & healed them. People need to REPEAT the Word to themselves until they believe it – ‘Faith comes by hearing the Word’. 

God’s tools, medicine & method of healing is through believing the Word – This connects us with the healing work of Christ on the cross & the power of the Holy Spirit – IF THE SPIRIT RAISED CHRIST FROM THE DEAD, HE CAN HEAL YOUR BODY. Faith connects us with that power – Faith comes from the Word – the Promises.
