THE WILL OF GOD

from Barbara's Bible

In times like these, how do you know the #WILL of #GOD? With all the #political bickering saying ‘he said or she said’ about unconfirmed statements concerning our established heads of state, we need to turn to God and His Word for clarity. 1Peter 2:13-17″Submit yourselves to every regulation of man for the King, as supreme; or governors, …..for so is the WILL OF GOD that with well doing you may put to silence the ignorance of foolish men: as free not using your liberty for a cloak of maliciousness, but as servants of God. Honor all men -Love brotherhood – Fear God – Honor the king.” We need to hope and wait according to Romans 8:24-27 “The Spirit of God helps our infirmities: we do not know what we should pray, but the Spirit makes intercession for the saints according to THE WILL OF GOD with groaning which cannot be uttered .” Today we have fighting and wars among our leaders yet James 4 tells us “Do you think scripture is in vain when it says – The spirit that is in us lusts because of envy?…Humble yourselves in the sight of the Lord and He shall lift you up….There is one lawgiver who is able to save and to destroy….What is your life? It is a vapor that appears for a little time and then vanishes. We ought to say, ‘IF THE LORD WILL, WE SHALL LIVE” I am brought back to life’s brevity when I hear Hal Lindsey close his broadcast with this phrase, “God willing I will see you next week” Paul wrote in Galatians 1:3,4 “Grace and peace to you from God the Father and from our Lord Jesus Christ who gave himself for our sins that He might deliver us from this present evil world according to THE WILL OF GOD OUR FATHER.”

Changed By Christ From Nobody To Somebody

Do you feel #invisible?  Does it feel like nobody #cares?  Are you #lonely?  This is a story about a woman in the Bible who showed faith in the right one and it changed her life.  This woman was weakened by twelve years of a chronic debilitating illness.  You may be able to relate to that now or as you age you will be able to understand later.  But, either way there is a lesson here for all of us.  Besides being at her wit’s end medically, what else was involved in her suffering and isolation making her a nobody in the eyes of society?  She heard about Jesus and what did she do about it?  While we are not saved by what we do, is there any effort that we must expend to receive the gift of Salvation? After being healed, Christ asked her to come forward, recognizing her as a somebody.  Why?

THE LIVING GOD WILL MAKE

from Barbara's Bible

Do you know someone that you #trust to accomplish a #task and will make good on their word? There seems to be an abundance of self importance filled with accolades of accomplishments with hollow words going unfulfilled. I have encountered both sides now and it is becoming harder to see through the camouflage ! In times like these we need God’s Word. “He that searches the hearts knows what is the mind of the Spirit who MAKES intercession for the saints according to the WILL OF GOD” Romans 8:27 GOD keeps His Word. Do You? Well get ready to see Him accomplish what He foretold. “LORD SAID..I WILL MAKE THE NEW HEAVENS AND THE NEW EARTH snd it shall come to pass that from one new moon to another …from one sabbath to another shall all flesh come to worship before Me.” Isaiah 66:22,23 I say, trust in the Living God’s Word. 11Peter3:13 “According to God’s promise – look for new heavens and a new earth wherein dwells righteousness. John foretells in Revelation 21 what GOD WILL MAKE – “I saw a new heaven and a new earth…I, John saw saw the holy city, new Jerusalem coming down from GOD out of heaven…I heard.a great voice out of heaven saying, Behold the tabernacle of God is with men and will dwell with them and they shall be His people..GOD HIMSELF SHALL BE WITH THEM and be their GOD wiping away all tears..no more death..sorrow…crying..pain for all former things are passed away. As GOD sat on His throne He said, I make all things new. Write these words are true and faithful” You can trust the LIVING GOD’S WORD..

Biblical Basis for Missions – The Mandate of Missions

Bible Audio Blog

This week we conclude the series of messages on #missions.   What is a #mandate and does it make a difference from where it comes?  A mandate is a command from someone in power.  In America, a political mandate comes from the people as they have the power to elect.  But, in a monarchy the command comes from the ruler.  As a follower of Jesus Christ, we must follow His commandments.  When Jesus said the fields are ripe with harvest, what did He mean?  What happens to a field that doesn’t get harvested?  It is sometimes very telling to hear the last words of famous people.  What were Christ’s last words before ascending to Heaven?  Would the lost in Hell beg us to go and be missionaries to their families?  According to the Bible, they would.  Who else is urging us to spread the good news of the Gospel?  Will you answer the call?

THE LIVING GOD SATISFIES

from Barbara's Bible

What #satisfies you? #Food – #Entertainment – #Sex – #Gambling – #Drugs -#Vacation – #Music -#Solitude or none of the afore mentioned? I do not see many individuals that appear satisfied with their circumstances today. Some are always striving while others have just given up. God’s Word gives up a ‘heads up’. “They wander in the wilderness in a solitary way….hungry and thirsty their souls fainted within them while crying unto the LORD in their trouble for Him to deliver them out of their distresses. If only they would praise the LORD for His goodness…for LORD SATISFIES THE LONGING SOUL and FILLS THE HUNGRY SOUL WITH GOODNESS” Psalm 107:4-9 “When you shall call, the LORD will answer. . .and SATISFY THE AFFLICTED SOUL with light through obscurity ” Isaiah 58:10 The Word speaks to us all both young and old as we all need His presence ! “Teach us to number our days….SATISFY US EARLY WITH THY MERCY; that we may rejoice and be glad all our days” Ps.90:14 I know you love to make calls …well I am asking you to “Call upon the LORD and He shall answer you..He will be with you in time of trouble and will deliver and honor you in time of trouble. With LONG LIFE WILL THE LORD SATISFY HIM AND SHOW HIS SALVATION” Psalms 91:14-16

Biblical Basis for Missions – The Church

Bible Audio Blog

What is the purpose of the church?  Should it be first concerned with #SocialJustice or #politics?  No, it should be #missions.  Jesus Christ, who is the head of the church, proved this even before the Great Commission by doing what?  Was missions an ad lib response to sin?  How is the body of believers more than an organization?  Before Christ and His ministry, how did society view mercy and benevolence?  Is there personal responsibility in this mission?  Where do we get the power to carry out the mission?
