God,The Word, The Gift of Life

John 1:1 In the beginning was The Word. The Word was with God. The Word was God. Revelations 1:8   I am Alpha and Omega, the beginning and the ending, saith the Lord, which is, and which was, and which is to come, the Almighty. The Word is God. John 4:24 God is a Spirit : a nd they that worship him must worship him in spirit a nd in truth.   God is a Spirit.     Joel 2:28 And it shall come to pass afterward, that I will pour out my spirit upon all flesh; and your sons and your daughters shall prophesy ( speak God-enabled utterances)... God pours out his Spirit. John 6:63 It is the spirit that quickeneth; the flesh profiteth nothing: the words that I speak unto you, they are spirit , and they are life .   John 3:16 For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life .

A Soft Heart

I wanted to share something I read and shared years ago: Bind the Word to your heart Do you notice how easy it is to get a hard heart? God's value system is so often in direct contrast to the values of our world. God knows that our hearts will be pulled in directions away from Him. He also knows that when we go with that pull we will find our hearts hardening. We will become aware of a nagging sense of dissatisfaction and impatience with life and with those around us. He cautions us... "See to it, brothers, that none of you has a sinful, unbelieving heart that turns away from the living God. But encourage one another daily, as long as it is called Today, so that none of you may be hardened by sin's deceitfulness" (Hebrews 3: 12 & 13). Many times we don't even notice the hard crust that settles around our heart. We compromise in "little" things and think it won't matter. Yet for the believer, there is inner frustration when we allow things ...

Perfect love= No fear

1 John 4:18 Perfect love casts out fear. If I love completely then I will not be afraid. Jesus was not afraid of those who led him to the whips and the cross, because he loved them with a perfect love . The truest form of love is submission -disregarding your own self for the sake of the other. Jesus did this when he washed the disciples feet, when he had compassion on the crowd though he was tired... &when he died on the cross. Greater love has no man than this - laying down his life for his friends. Jesus took on the form of servant. I must even more so, take on a servant's mind and heart. This is the most complete form of love. When I mature in the spiritual fruit of love, I will be completely free of fear.
