Natural Abilities Are No Substitute For The Spirit of ~GOD~

Posted on 04/30/2015 | Comments Off

In {MATTHEW 25} we find the parable of the wise and foolish virgins–five who had their lamps filled with oil and five who did not. When the bridegroom came, the ones with oil were ready and the ones without oil were left. We know that throughout the Bible, oil is representative of the Spirit of GOD. We cannot accomplish what GOD has called us to accomplish in the natural. We can only accomplish GOD’s will through His Spirit.

There are many examples in the Bible that shed light on this thought. In {JUDGES 13-16} we find the story of Samson. He was a man who was called and Anointed of GOD who found himself in compromising positions with the world. By sharing the secret of his strength and allowing his hair to be cut, he lost his GOD-Given Strength.

We find in {MARK 4} an account of the disciples in a boat with JESUS. As they were crossing the sea, a great storm arose. The disciples tried everything they knew to keep the boat from sinking. No doubt they used every bit of natural strength and wisdom they had, but to no avail. After they had given up on their natural abilities, they went to JESUS and said, “Master do you not care if we perish?” JESUS walked to the front of the boat and simply said, “Peace Be Still,” and a great calm came over the sea. Their natural abilities could not accomplish what JESUS had just done.

These are three accounts of many in the Bible where people have tried, for good reasons, to use only their natural abilities. It is easy for all of us to follow the same path. Many times in my life I have become so busy I have neglected the things of GOD, thereby losing the Anointing. The danger of this position is many times this happens and we do not even realize it. There is no substitute for a right relationship with GOD that is developed through a daily communion with Him. Not only can we not accomplish what He has called us to do, but when tragedy strikes, we are weak and helpless and others suffer with us.

Are you running on your own natural abilities, going through the motions, doing what seems right while all the time neglecting your daily relationship with JESUS? Is it time to slow down from the hassles of this world and put first things first?

Spirit Man or Flesh Man???

Posted on 04/24/2015 | Comments Off

Everything that we do in life is based on choices. We are the results of the choices we make. If when we look in the mirror we don’t like what we see, then we need to change our choices. We can never become what we need to be by remaining what we are. As one catchy phrase says, “If we always do what we’ve always done, we’ll always get what we’ve always got.”

“There is therefore now no condemnation to them which are in Christ ~JESUS~, who walk not after the flesh, but after the Spirit. For the law of the Spirit of life in Christ ~JESUS~ hath made me free from the law of sin and death.”
{Romans‬ ‭8‬:‭1-2‬ KJV}

This Scripture separates those who know Christ’s redeeming work on the cross from those who have never experienced the new birth. The last part of the above verse deals with the law of the spirit of life and the law of sin and death. To have the best ~GOD~ has for me and to have my spiritual ears open so the Spirit can lead me, I must choose to follow the law of the spirit of life. There is another Scripture that deals with this:

“But seek ye first the kingdom of ~GOD~, and his righteousness; and all these things shall be added unto you.”
{‭Matthew‬ ‭6‬:‭33‬ KJV}

We as Christians have access to the wisdom of ~GOD~, but we must seek His wisdom. I have seen many people in times of trouble go to well meaning people for answers and advice, but in many cases, while these were educated people, they were not powerful men and women of ~GOD~. I have never understood why Christian people would seek the wisdom of the world in making decisions. ~GOD’s~ wisdom is always best. We can never make spiritual decisions from a natural mindset.

My question for you today is, “Who is guiding your life, who is influencing you, who is molding you, who is leading you?” If ~JESUS~ Christ is not the answer to this question, you should reevaluate where you are headed and then make Him the answer and stay the course.

“The thief cometh not, but for to steal, and to kill, and to destroy: I am come that they might have life, and that they might have it more abundantly.”
{‭John‬ ‭10‬:‭10‬ KJV}

How to Appreciate an Imperfect Spouse…

Posted on 01/16/2015 | Comments Off

*Billy Graham’s Message*

In the same way, husbands, live with your wives in an understanding way. Though they are weaker partners, honor them as equal heirs of the grace of life. In this way, your prayers will not be hindered.
{1 Peter‬ ‭3‬:‭7‬ TLV}

In any case, let each of you love his own wife as himself, and let the wife respect her husband.
{Ephesians‬ ‭5‬:‭33‬ TLV}

For we all stumble in many ways. If someone does not stumble in speech, he is a perfect man, able to bridle the whole body as well.
{Jacob [James] 3‬:‭2‬ TLV}

“Why do you look at the speck in your brother’s eye, but do not notice the beam in your own eye? How can you say to your brother, ‘Brother, let me take out the speck in your eye,’ when you yourself do not see the beam in your own eye? You hypocrite! First take the beam out of your own eye, and then you will see clearly the speck in your brother’s eye, to take it out.”
{Luke‬ ‭6‬:‭41-42‬ TLV}

Finally, brothers and sisters, whatever is true, whatever is honorable, whatever is just, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is commendable—if there is any virtue and if there is anything worthy of praise—dwell on these things.
{Philippians‬ ‭4‬:‭8‬ TLV}

Then Paul said to him, “God is going to strike you on the mouth, you whitewashed wall! Do you sit judging me according to the Torah, and yet in violation of the Torah you order me to be struck?” Those standing nearby said, “Do you insult God’s kohen gadol?” Paul said, “I didn’t know, brothers, that he is the kohen gadol. For it has been written, ‘You shall not speak evil of a ruler of your people.’”
{Acts‬ ‭23‬:‭3-5‬ TLV}

{Tree Of Life Bible}
