He is tired of man-made things. He is tired of the things being taught that are not of Him. God is raising up people within the existing churches as well as outside the churches to lead people to the truth. The time is getting short. There is no more time for false teachings. There is no more time for misconceptions about God and about what God wants to do. He has jobs for each member of His Body to do. Each person is responsible for that job. There will be no excuses. It is time to shake off anything that is not of God. It is time to take ALL things that you were taught by someone other than God and test them against the scriptures! Pray about it. You might be surprised at some of the things that God shows you weren't of Him all along! |
Don't tell my hubby, but I am very much looking forward to the day he no longer coaches football. Maybe we can experience what it is like to be a regular family. |
The main thing I have to do is make more time for the Lord. I've got to force myself to stop cleaning, cooking, and putzing and pick up my Bible. That is the only thing that will make a permanent difference in my life and in the lives of those around me. Everything else is just dust in the wind! |

Hmmm, I wonder where those things go. I had all those words typed out and they are gone. (Keep in mind here that I sometimes get strange ideas in my head.) I can almost picture a whole bunch of words and pictures floating around in my computer, looking for a home. If I was online at the time there would be a possibility that they would be lost in cyber space. OK, quit scratching your head. I'm just being silly! |
It's time to get back on track and work on becoming the obedient child He wants me to be. I've allowed my head to be filled with too many non-spiritual things. I've noticed my attitudes and my words have been affected by what is in my mind. The less time I spend with the Lord, the less of Him people see in me. I have to re-prioritize my time. God comes first and there is nothing else that is even a close second! |

I had my hubby pull the freezer out since it is old and doesn't have wheels. The soda mixed with the dirt that was under there and made sticky mud. As long as I was back there I cleaned the coils, the walls, the heater, and a few more areas that are normally unreachable. Oh, yes, I was having fun. Har! |
I was thinking that was impossible since the force of gravity would need to be broken or altered somehow. The people on TV watching him were amazed, shocked, terrified, and generally in disbelief. If he truly was lifting off the ground, under what power was he doing it? Does God have power over gravity? Of course He does. He created gravity. Perhaps God gave the gift of miracles to that man and he chose not to use them for the glory of God and to benefit His Kingdom. 1Corinthians 10:12 tells us that God gives the gift of miracles as well as other gifts. I know that I was not using the gifts He gave me for the edification of the Body of Christ. I didn't realize that they were gifts from God. I figured I was just extra smart, or extra perceptive, or whatever. Then, on the other hand, Matthew 24:24 warns us to watch out as there will come some that aren't from Him and deceive many with signs and wonders. Satan has the ability to duplicate the gifts that God gives people. You won't be able to tell the difference unless you are in tune with the Holy Spirit. You have to be reading the Bible as the Word of God has the power to reveal truth. This week's Bible study goes into more detail on this subject. |
As a matter of fact, I found out last week that some woman in Pennsylvania charged some things to my mastercard and my credit card company caught it. However, the credit card company neglected to notify me that they put a freeze on my card! Anyway, it makes me tired thinking of all the problems I encounter every single day. I have peace and comfort, however. I usually don't get excited over things because: |

People seem to feel they have the right to cut in front of others in lines. They do what they want irregardless of how it affects others. It almost feels like the laws are the only thing keeping society within certain behavioral boundaries. The Bible does describe the attitudes that are being shown. 2Timothy 3:1-5 tells us: "This know also, that in the last days perilous times shall come. For men shall be lovers of their own selves, covetous, boasters, proud, blasphemers, disobedient to parents, unthankful, unholy, without natural affection, trucebreakers, false accusers, incontinent, fierce, despisers of those that are good, traitors, heady, highminded, lovers of pleasures more than lovers of God; having a form of godliness, but denying the power thereof: from such turn away." The bad thing is that many Christians are being drawn into these attitudes. They are surrounded by these things and allow themselves to "join in" with the others. Things are going to continue to get worse until Jesus comes. That is a fact. We need to turn away from the things of the world. We need to keep ourselves apart. Yes, that will take strength, but God will supply it. Yes, people will think you are strange and you may lose friends. However, you are in good company. Jesus, too, was considered strange and He had few friends. This week's Bible study takes this a little further. |
