what God is saying

 


It was a normal Wednesday evening.  Our church offers Bible study for youth and adults.  I was leading our adults through the last section of Matthew 6 as God continued speaking to me about some of the greatest things going on in my heart.


He began something in me early in the week that is still going on.  What I know is that there are several parts of what God has said that run deep.  I am grateful for what God is doing.  I am also still listening so I can respond.  


It isn’t always easy to go the direction God leads, but it is always the right direction.  


Here are a few of the verses that have come alive this week, and I will simply give you a few thoughts after the verses.  But what I ask you to do is to read through and even pray through each verse.  Maybe God has something for you as well.


James 5:16  NLT  

Confess your sins to each other and pray for each other so that you may be healed. The earnest prayer of a righteous person has great power and produces wonderful results.


John 15:7-8  NLT  

But if you remain in me and my words remain in you, you may ask for anything you want, and it will be granted! 8 When you produce much fruit, you are my true disciples. This brings great glory to my Father.


Matthew 6:33  NLT  

Seek the Kingdom of God above all else, and live righteously, and he will give you everything you need.


The issue is remaining with God through prayer.  Seek God daily, even each minute.  May this be true of each of us … that we seek God and spend time with Him!


The help for hurricane victims continues and will even grow more.  Many groups are helping with relief.  Please pray and consider giving to help.  Give through The Community Fellowship, Send Relief, our mission partner SBCV at https://www.sbcv.org/helene , Samaritan’s Purse or God’s Pit Crew.

Have you heard of EDITH BURNS?

Edith Burns was a wonderful Christian who lived in San Antonio, Texas . She was the patient of a doctor by the name of Will Phillips. Dr. Phillips was a gentle doctor who saw patients as people. His favorite patient was Edith Burns.  One morning he went to his office with a heavy heart and it was because of Edith Burns.  When he walked into that waiting room, there sat Edith with her big black Bible in her lap earnestly talking to a young mother sitting beside her.  Edith Burns had a habit of introducing herself in this way: "Hello, my name is Edith Burns.  Do you believe in Easter?" Then she would explain the meaning of Easter, and many times people would be saved.  Dr. Phillips walked into that office and there he saw the head nurse, Beverly. Beverly had first met Edith when she was taking her blood pressure. Edith began by saying,"My name is Edith Burns. Do you believe in Easter?"  Beverly said, "Why yes I do."  Edith said, "Well, what do you

why is it Good Friday?

  Holy Week is the time we focus on God and His gift of salvation.  We come to Friday.  The day we remember the cross, Jesus’ death and all God has done for you and me   Why do they call this day “Good Friday” because it doesn’t seems good?   Jesus was treated as a criminal.  He was beaten so much that He could not recognize Him.  His pain would have been too much for you or me to endure.  That is especially from Scripture I’ve read or as in the movie the  Passion of the Christ .   Yet it is a good day.  It is Good Friday because God had our good in His heart.  What Jesus did that day changed our forever direction. Here are some thoughts that come to me:   He is Redemption and Redeemer   He too our Pain and Punishment   He is our Righteousness and Reality   He is the Savior and Life   All of those happened from the cross.  It was meant for the worst lawbreakers.  It was not meant for a Savior who never broke a law.  It was lifted high so that onlookers could see the price Jesus.   Look
