Romans 6:11 – Be ALIVE TO GOD, alert to Him, through Jesus Christ our Lord!
God has unusual qualifications for people who He uses. What may be the requirements that the world has, often times means little to God. God is in the business of using those people who are unlikely candidates. I am so glad about this, because this means that God can use me. 1 Corinthians 1:27 But God…
Many people long to be used by God. Yet many people find this aspect illusive. But God is ready to use you. Perhaps it starts when God calls us to increase in our effectiveness. Many times, before God uses us, we go through a process of stripping, when things seem to go anywhere but where…
What is prayer? Prayer is simply just talking to God. I think that many people pray more than they realise, but because we have complicated prayer and turned it into a formal religious endeavour, we step back from prayer. God just wants us to talk to Him. Prayer is the communication process between us and…
2 Timothy 3:1-5 There will be terrible times in the last days. People will be lovers of themselves, lovers of money, boastful, proud, abusive, disobedient to their parents, ungrateful, unholy, without love, unforgiving, slanderous, without self-control, brutal, not lovers of the good, treacherous, rash, conceited, lovers of pleasure rather than lovers of God— having a form…
Psalm 86:11 Teach me Your way, O LORD, and I will walk in Your truth; give me an undivided heart, that I may fear Your name. Jeremiah 32:38-39 They will be My people, and I will be their God. I will give them singleness of heart and action, so that they will always fear Me for their…
1. STABILITY – United we stand, divided we fall! Mark 3:25 ‘A house divided against itself cannot stand!’ 2. PURPOSE – Single-minded versus double-minded. James 1:8 ‘Their loyalty is divided between God and the world, and they are unstable in everything they do.’ We should not be double minded! Our hearts must be fixed and we should…
A. Taking on a form of godliness – 2 Timothy 3:5 ‘having a form of godliness but denying its power!’ B. UNSTABLE – James 1:8 ‘A double minded man is unstable in all his ways!’ (Inconsistent) If you lead an inconsistent life, your heart is most likely divided. C. CHANGEABILITY – One moment we are flying a flag for the…
Ezekiel 11:19-21 I will give them an undivided heart and put a new spirit in them; I will remove from them their heart of stone and give them a heart of flesh. Then they will follow my decrees and be careful to keep my laws. They will be my people, and I will be their God.…
The Psalmist writes and declares his desire. He has two desires and two outcomes. 1. TEACH ME YOUR WAYS – and I will walk in Your truth! 2. GIVE ME AN UNDIVIDED HEART – that I may fear Your name! These two desires should be our desires as well! We live in a world where people want…
Mark 10:51-52 “Go,” said Jesus, “your faith has healed you.” Immediately he received his sight and followed Jesus along the road. The response from Jesus is interesting! He says to the blind man ‘GO”! It is often only in the ‘going’ that the miracle happens. Sometimes we want to stay and have everything change, but we must…
