Hello Beloved,
I am reading a book called : Fervent" by Priscilla Shirer. It goes along with the movie she was in called " War Room".. Great movie! Well as I was reading this evening this is what I took from it.
Just how important is it to be in the Word of God every day? Are you ever tempted by your old self?
Do you ever feel like your prayers go only to the ceiling of the room your praying in? Don't we know that no temptation is harmless? That the consequences are never minimal? That sin does have consequences.
When we are not aligned with the Word of God that would be called disobedience. We should not -expect to receive from the Lord then. In James 1: 7-8 (KJV)
v7." For let not that man think that he shall receive anything of the Lord." v.8 " A double minded man is unstable in all his ways." You need to change.
Sin creates separation from God. That is what the enemy is out to do to you..... separate you from God. You can not handle that alone, you need God, Jesus Christ in your life every day. That is why it is important to be in the Word of God everyday.
Christ Jesus bore your sins on the cross. ( 1 Peter2: 24-25 read it) You are to walk in the Spirit ... Galatians 5:16, read these scriptures too... 1 Corinthians 10:13; Ephesians 6:14 .
" But I have prayed for thee , that thy faith fail not: and when thou are converted , strengthen thy brethren. Luke 22: 31-32
We should all be in the Word of God everyday getting ourselves ready for His soon return..
May God Bless you and keep you. Smile: you are most beautiful when you do.
