Yes, I mean, now you should shout for joy and always have the pleasure to shout for joy. A shout for joy is an incredible power given by God (Psalm 149:5-9). Listen to this; you haven’t lived until you have made a decision to love (1 John 2:15). “Those who belong to Christ Jesus have crucified the flesh with its passions and desires.” Galatians 5:24. That’s it!!!
At the point when you’re in troublesome occasions, don’t only say what you feel, what you think, what you need. State what God says about your circumstance. The Creator of the Universe will push back powers of darkness and darkness; He won’t let that obstruction rout you. It might go past its limits incidentally, however, don’t get disheartened. It must return. You are indeed an overcomes; no evil will befall you, no calamity will come to your dwelling. That’s it!!!
John Stott said: “I could never myself believe in God, if it were not for the cross. The only God I believe in is the one Nietzsche ridiculed as “God on the Cross.” In the real world of pain, how could one worship a God who was immune to it? I have entered many Buddhist temples and stood respectfully before the statue of Buddha, his legs crossed, arms folded, eyes closed, the ghost of a smile playing round his mouth,…
What a question? Why should the Gentiles say, “So where is their God?” This is a dexterously framed petition. The solicitation is made unobtrusively yet expertly. In Psalm 115, the psalmist requested that God convey His kin with the goal that He would be celebrated among the countries, and the Gentiles would have no motivation to think God had neglected them. It was exceptionally characteristic that the pagan should state, ‘Where is their God?’ since they had no outward symbol, no…
Indeed, it might seem as though things would never show signs of change; however, there’s no mountain God can’t move. Without a doubt, there’s no divider He can’t forward leap. It might not have occurred at this point. However, this is another day. God is doing another thing. Whatever is attempting to hold you down, whatever looks changeless, in your creative mind, you have to see it pivoting, leaving you, getting littler and littler. It might have shaped however state,…
H. J. Iwand said: “Our faith begins at the point where atheists suppose it must be at an end. Our faith begins with the bleakness and power which is the night of the cross, abandonment, temptation, and doubt about everything that exists! Our faith must be born where it is abandoned by all tangible reality; it must be born of nothingness, it must taste this nothingness and be given it to taste in a way that no philosophy of nihilism…
Have you heard that If He blesses, poverty cannot starve you, sickness cannot kill you, toil cannot wear you out, sorrow cannot consume you, life cannot allure you, death cannot slay you, hell cannot enclose you? Indeed, God will bless us. Honestly, He inclines to bless; it is His right to bless, it is His wonder to bless, it is His glory to bless, it is His delight to bless; He promises to bless, it is His enjoyment to bless;…
False worship isn’t honest; however, disheartening, and at last, the admirers will die along with their transitory icons. Worship is sure to breed likeness, i.e., to raise similarity. An indecent, barbarous god will make his enthusiasts so. Human creates gods after their picture, and, when made, the gods make men after theirs. A similar standard which debases the worshiper of another god lifts the Christian to the resemblance of Christ. That’s it!!!
Eberhard Arnold said: “Blessed are they who have heart. Blessed are they who build up love and peace and unity. Blessed are they who stand with the poor, and are themselves poor. Blessed are they who know themselves as beggars before the Spirit. Blessed are they who hunger and thirst for justice and righteousness more than they hunger for food. They carry the suffering and pain of the world on their hearts. They do not think about themselves, for their…
Yes, call it patience or a calming attitude to bearing or enduring delay, disappointment, pain, and sorrow. Indeed, it is a deep confidence in God’s providence and the willingness to persevere or keeping believing even in the face of loss and failure. It has the right approval as “interiorized monasticism.” It isn’t resignation; however, the mindfulness that Christ is become alive once again and is with us second to second, regardless of where we go or what we are persevering….
