ARE YOU SURE??

 

ARE YOU COMMITTED???

This blog is not to cast judgment, I will share my testimony, that shouts "Who are you to judge anyone!" But in reality it is to get us to thinking, about our lives, our commitment, our faithfulness, are we prepared for Jesus' call "Come up here"? Are we prepared to stand before the Judgment Seat of Christ? Will we hear one day "Depart from Me I never knew you", or "Well done good and faithful servant"? 

I can witness the condition of this world around me, I can see that everything is lining up to bring the Antichrist onto the world scene. Knowing that what will come during the time the church has been caught away, reading of the Hell on Earth that will come! There is within me an urgency that our time here is short and have I really been about my Father's business, or just living life, surviving and not thriving? Now to me thriving is not fame or fortune. But it is: did I do what God has equipped me to do, what did I do with Jesus while living my everyday life. And for who did I do it for? Myself to make me feel better about me or did I do it out of obedience to God, in order to lift up Jesus and glorify the Father? That is something we all must ask ourselves. Another question we must ask ourselves is: Have I changed since I walked down the aisle to receive the gift of salvation? Was it real, or just an emotional moment? Emotional moments will never change us, the real deal will bring into our lives a newness, no longer who we were, but we walk in newness of life.

2 Corinthians 5:17 Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation, old things have past away, behold all things have become new.

And Romans 6:11-14 ( please if you are seeking the truth read these verses)

Can the real deal Christian run from God straight into the arms of the world? YES! I DID FOR 12 YEARS! But when I came to my senses I ran full force back to Jesus, never to leave again. Do I sin? Unfortunately I do, I fall into temptation, I get in the flesh. But LISTEN CLOSELY, the Holy Spirit will ALWAYS bring us under conviction, He will chastise us, and we will know our sinful condition and our need to repent. But if it is not the real deal there is no Holy Spirit to bring conviction, and we just go on accepting sinfulness as okay, because after all we are under God's grace. Sounds good but not biblical, you see in Christ we have been set free from the bondage of sin, enabled by the Holy Spirit to say no to sin, that's grace, not being set free to sin and do whatever we want and still say we are following Jesus. Sorry but walking with Jesus doesn't work that way.

In Philippians 2:12 we find these words "work out your own salvation", this is not saying we can earn our salvation by living a good life, No it is saying we must answer to our Father for how we have lived our lives. That's why we examine our hearts. Many, many times I have heard over the years "You don't know my heart"! Actually I am not God and cannot see your heart INTENT, but the reality is, we expose the truth of what is in our hearts by what we say and how we behave. What did Jesus say about our hearts:

Matthew 15:18-19 But those things which proceed out of the mouth come from the heart and they defile a man. For out of the heart proceed evil thoughts , murders, adulteries, fornications (sex outside of marriage, sexual perversions) thefts, false witness (liars), blasphemies.

So yes, by observing ones words, and actions a person reveals the truth in their heart.

But what about those who by all appearances are Christians? The ones at church, give their tithes, serve the Lord, do all the things and know the talk. Can they be lost? Reports say about 20% in a congregation are not the real deal. You see salvation is not based on our parents experience, or our presence, it is based on do we have a personal encounter with Jesus.

A Christian should desire to spend time with the Father, in prayer, in His word, should desire to spend time with fellow Christians, desire to be committed, to be active; not just to run into church, never speak to anyone, then run out hoping no one will speak to them (how is this any different from sitting at home). The corporate body meets to corporately worship our Lord and Savior in one accord, to minister in love and prayer with one another, to laugh together, cry together, to grow together, to strengthen one another. There is a dynamic power from the Holy Spirit that comes within the church family who meet together.  No excuses, if Jesus didn't expect the church to actually meet corporately then why did He establish the church, why is He called the Chief Cornerstone? Why is it written in Hebrews 10 not to forsake the assembling together? Now we are the body of Christ, as individuals, and He is our Chief Cornerstone for our lives, but I am specifically talking about the corporate church.

The rapture is drawing nearer and nearer, but are we ready? Have we truly examined our hearts, have we fallen in true repentance, desiring only Jesus, seeking God, listening to the Holy Spirit. Are we truly living a surrendered life or we just going through the motions. Are we praying for our families, our church, our nation. Are we sharing the good news wherever God opens a door? Examine our hearts, is it void, discouraged, dead, burned out?  If it is there is hope, if God is speaking to you right now, then say "Here I am Lord speak". And surrender your life to Jesus Christ right now.

Romans 13:11-14 Put on Christ

Colossians 3:1-11 Put off the old man

Colossians 3:12-17 Check your character

Many of the real deal have allowed this life to wear them out. They have given into what is easy, rather than press forward in Christ. Many have allowed the fire within them to dim to barely a spark because they have neglected to fan the flame. With technology as it is, it has become easy to sit home on Sundays, in pajamas and a cup of coffee, watching church service on line or television. You can get an anionted word this way, but the power of meeting, strengthening, ministering with one another, praying together, fellowshipping with one another, can not be found by staying home and watching an on line or television service.

FOOTNOTE: I think online services and television services are good for reaching out to far away places, to bring the gospel into their homes, for the elderly and disabled who can't get out. And personally I have enjoyed the times I could go back and listen again to a service I attended. My point was Do not become lazy and let staying at home be a crutch to keep you from being actively involved with your church.

It is time to decide: Am I truly a born again Christian? Am I a disciple of Jesus Christ, by picking up my cross daily and following Him, this is daily surrender? Am I committed to Christ and to His church? Have I allowed my fire to dim, because I have neglected the care of the fire of God in me? Jesus Christ the Son of God will come again, all the signs of His coming say SOON, will He find you faithful?

Decision time is here!

DREAMS & VISIONS PART B

 

SEE THAT BLUE HOUSE SHOE, WHEN YOU READ THE DREAM THAT IS IT! RIGHT THERE EXACTLY! THE SHOES GOD USED TO CHANGE MY ENTIRE LIFE!

GOD SPEAKING THROUGH DREAMS

This my personal testimony of a few dreams God has given me throughout the years. I remind you, before you go any farther, please go and read DREAMS AND VISIONS PART A, without first reading that this will not be very clear about God given dreams and visions.

Remember most of our dreams are not on a national level but on a personal level.  So let me begin, with my first God given dream at the age of 9 years old in 1956 (that year is important) it would reoccur exactly the same throughout my life time until I was 27 years old and born again in February 1974 (again the date is important). The story behind the dream was, I was not raised in church, went occasionally between 8 & 9 years of age. I had zero knowledge of things that would take place in this dream. When I was 9 years old my daddy died, in my fear of death and God, I came home from the grave and announced "I will never go back to church again" and so be it. But from that statement God began to speak to me in a dream. And over the years I got older, but in my dream I was always the 9 year old child.

It was very dark, I was afraid, hiding in a store doorway, on Gay Street in downtown Knoxville. I was all alone, but a lot of activity was going on, I looked up and saw the moon as red as blood, on the street were lots of people walking to one place, both the dead and the living. (I knew this because I saw my daddy who was dead and my mother and sisters who were alive), I did not want to get in this line of people, I was terrified, yet I found myself in the line as I walked I began to go up a hill, by now I am crying and crawling, I knew that at the top of the hill was Jesus. When I reached the feet of Jesus I saw through my tears that He was wearing these bright blue fuzzy house shoes. And immediately I would wake up and think just a dream Jesus wouldn't wear fuzzy blue house shoes.

Over and over this would happen the dream never changed not one time. In the summer of 1973 God had stepped up His drawing me to Him. I started reading the bible (now that's another story), going to church but not saved searching for something to fill this void in my life. Christmas of 1973 I received a gift from my husband it was "Bright blue fuzzy house shoes" exactly what I had seen on the feet of Jesus since 1956. Suddenly I realized a dream that I thought was just a weird child's dream, became a reality. In February 1974 I surrendered my life to Jesus and never had that dream again. So what did the dream mean? In December 1973 when I saw the blue house shoes I knew this reality: "Judgment day was coming, for all people." I would never have known that as a child, but God was wooing me to Him. The blue house shoes I thought was weird, God placed them in my dream for that very day in 1973 I would open that gift and know the dream was real. Now not too long ago I searched to see when those house shoes were made to sale, 1972. I could shout right here! God placed in my dream something that was non-existent at that time, that would shock me and wake me up 18 years later.

Over the years I would periodically have dreams this one is not about a church but about the whole body of Christ. The people of God not the building itself. At this time in my life I was an AWANA commander at my church. Again this is not about my church or my church family. I will tell what it was about at the end.

In my dream I was at an AWANA meeting in our gym, for some reason I got up went through the doors to the other room. There I found chaos, children being dragged off to hell and no one was stopping them, I grabbed one child and said "You can't have her", I turned looking for help and saw a man opening chairs and closing chairs like he was sitting up a room, I called out "why are you not helping"? He answered "This is all I know to do" and he continued to do that one thing. I woke up!

The dream did not return but I sought God the only way I knew how at that time, I acting on what I thought He was telling me (a personal word for me), but over time I began to understand it wasn't a dream about me remaining in AWANA, like I thought at first. But it actually was the moment God placed on me a burden for His bride. To pray for the equipping of the saints, that they would know how to use their God given talents, spiritual gifts and fulfill the calling God had placed on their lives. You might say God had given me a Kairos moment, now that I understood, will I align my prayer life with the meaning of the dream and walk in what God just gave me, or refuse. You see when God speaks we have a choice to listen and obey or walk away. 

FOOTNOTE: The children and AWANA meeting were not the focus of the dream, I made it my focus, but God used this because it was relatable to me. The real focus was the man just opening and closing chairs and his words "This is all I know to do"!

Another more recent dream along these lines, was probably the most ugliest thing my eyes had witnessed. In the last two dreams I was involved in them, in this one I was on the sidelines seeing it all playing out in front of me and unable to move to stop anything. In this I found myself screaming "God get me out of here". This dream was three fold God in this gave me a personal scripture in answer to a prayer I had "Again God what is my purpose now?" Which is now hanging on my bedroom door. The rest as horrific as it is He immediately gave me understanding and scripture.

In my dream I was watching I couldn't move and they couldn't see me. I saw a long table with people sitting around eating this big feast but what they were eating was body parts of different people, a leg, a arm etc. Now they didn't kill the person just maimed them, they only took one body part from one person. I was sick at what I was seeing and praying to wake up but the dream continued, I saw in the background a young girl running, I saw a man trying to find her and help her, I knew he was not a threat to her but she kept on running. Then I heard this old woman scream out, "Get me some young fresh eye balls to eat", in horror I saw two men grab the young girl, strap her into a chair and take out her eyes and sew her lids together. Now I am crying and screaming "Get me out of here"! I saw the man trying to help the young girl who had been running from him reach her and comfort her. Immediately I heard these words "Eye have not seen"! 

 I sat straight up in bed knowing that was a scripture for me. I searched and found 1Corinthians 2:9 "Eye have not seen, nor ear heard, Nor have entered into the heart of man the things which God has prepared for those who love Him". Now I said Lord You went through all that just to tell me You still have a plan and purpose for my life. Needless to say God was saying more than that. I couldn't go back to sleep as I pondered on the dream, I remembered (the Holy Spirit brought to my memory) a scripture you will find it in 1 Corinthians 12:12-27. What God was showing me was because there is a lack of unity in His body, the enemy has been damaging the body as a whole by stopping God's people from using their God given talents and gifts. Our gifts are irrevocable, but we can sit and soak, murmur and complain, be offended and find ourselves not being who God desires us to be within the local church body or as we minister other places. Like the young girl running from the man trying to protect her, she found herself hurt by the very church that should have been her safe haven. If you haven't figured it out it was Jesus she was running from. In this God showed me once more to continue to pray for His church, as there are a lot of religious people out there who will quickly devour any gift or talent that would be in opposition to what they think. Here I gave you the first dream of a burden and one I had a couple of years ago. There had been others in between, that God would use to reaffirm this prayer burden He has given me. Knowing this I pray as He shows me specifics and will continue until He releases me. Did you see the specific way I am to pray in this.

Two more the last most recent dream I had and a very old one I had.

Recently, it seemed I had not had any God dreams in awhile. Then one night I had these dream, not really involved in the dream itself, but trying to get involved. I saw my 18 year old granddaughter leaving work, a man was after her, he grabbed her held her down, and attacking her, I couldn't get to her, she couldn't hear me or see me. I would then wake up.

 I would pray "Lord don't let me have this nightmare again", but I would again and again dream wake up, dream wake up I finally said to myself I think God is saying she is in danger something is coming, so I prayed and felt that was settled. When I got up, looked on Facebook I saw a news article about the children being rescued from a trafficking ring. Immediately the eyes of my understanding were opened up and I knew God had just laid a burden on me to pray for the children stolen away and used as sex slaves, pornography, work slaves. You see God used someone I loved very much to pull my heart toward all the children I did not know. But I am to pray for them. So to align myself to the dream I pay attention to what is happening, and I continue to pray for the children to be rescued. I continue to pray for for God to reveal and expose all that are part of child trafficking. And God is doing just that.

This next dream happended years ago. Some parts of this dream I truly had no clue what God was actually trying to say or do. So I took them as a satanic dream to upset me. And it did. It involved my daughter who I thought was saved, yet she wasn't.

In the dream my daughter would be in a room with these demonic creatures hanging off the walls and trying to get to my daughter. I came in pushed her out of the room, shut the door and I began to rebuke the devil, quote scripture, speak the name of Jesus. Then I would wake up. 

Now somewhere I have this written down, but this is pretty much how I remembered it. I had that same dream more than once, my daughter says 3 times. I never mentioned this dream at the time because I thought it was so demonic it could not be of God. Then my daughter was saved, one day she began to talk about this horrible demonic dream she would have about these demon creatures coming after her and how I would come in and put her out of the room and start quoting scripture. Seeing we were having the same dream, as we talked about it. We both realized that in these moments God gave me the exact dream satan was giving her, so in the dream I could fight in the spirit realm where she, at that time, was unable to do. Never has that happened like that again for me. How God did it I can not say. But I know God was using me in that moment to protect my daughter. And I praise God for it.

This is really her testimony of what she was going through at that time in her life.

I have had many more dreams, but not every night or every week or even every month. I have had very few that I felt were specifically for my church, and shared only to who I believed needed to hear it. But even in those few dreams, God was really directing me on how I should be praying. So you see I have never had a dream that impacted the world, but they each one have impacted my life and my family. Too many place too much emphasis on foretelling some hugh, national event. That we tend to forget God cares for each of us, and He desires to spend time with us, as we gather with Him to pray, praise and read His word. And when we are still and calm He will place a dream in us, to help us in the direction He wants to take us.

I hope you have been blessed and encouraged in both these blog posts. Search the word, allow the Holy Spirit in you to teach you about how God today still gives dreams and visions to His children.

P.S. remember you should read Part A first. 

DREAMS AND VISIONS PART A

 

PART A, PART B WILL BE SOME ACTUAL DREAMS!

HAVE YOU HAD A GOD DREAM OR VISION LATELY?

I am going to post some scripture references at the end, that you can look at. Throughout both the Old and New Testament, we see evidence that God will give dreams and visions to whomever He desires to. Yes, we see in the book of Daniel and in Genesis, and I am certain other places where God placed a dream on kings, of pagan lands. Some like Pharaoh and Nebuchadnezzar needed someone to interpret their dreams. And God had already placed those there for such a time as this. Remember it is God who gives the dream and the interpretation of the dream.

God speaks to us through His written word, a rhema (a personal) word, through people, in our sleep time, and through dreams and visions.

Let me first explain what I mean about speaking to us in our sleep time, frequently as I sleep, I am not dreaming, but a I hear scripture and explanation of what I need to say. Honestly a lot of time I wake up and immediately post exactly what I heard with scriptures on my Facebook. Why do I do that? Because I ask Jesus to guide what I post to lift Him up and bring God the Father glory. And you wouldn't believe how much I delete that I thought was good stuff, and God said I didn't tell you to do that. Yes I sometimes just post stuff, I am speaking of any inspirational posting I do.

Dreams come during our sleep, like watching a movie being played out in front of you, sometimes I am involved in it and sometimes I am looking on watching and no control over what I am seeing. Most of the time, my God given dreams are about me, my family, or a prayer burden I am carrying or even a burden God is about to give me. I have never needed an interpreter because God tells me exactly what He is showing me and why, but not always immediately, the dream will keep occurring until the dream given has reached its completion. God given dreams stay with you, but it is good to write them down, since as the years go by we might forget. Some I have forgotten and some I will never forget. In these dreams I will find myself very uncomfortable, crying out in prayer and calling out get me out of here. God dreams will never go against His word and because of my gifting and anionting in my life, I ask for confirmation of the dream being from Him: "Lord give me a scripture", and He is always faithful to do so.

 Not every dream is of God, some can even be a satanic dream placed in our thoughts, remember satan can not know our thoughts but he can place thoughts there, it is easier to attack our minds during our sleep time as we are unaware of what is happening. Also the times when there is the most demonic activity is between midnight and 3 am. I have had enough of those kind of dreams in the past, then some is nothing more than reaction to what we ate or something we watched before we went to bed.

My daughter just sent me this below and I can assure you from my personal experience this is Spot On: 

1. FOCUS: who is the focus in the dream?

2. FEELING: what's the emotion? Usually literal but often exaggerated

3. FRAMEWORK: where/context prominent surroundings. These are symbolic most of the time

4. FILLER: key details people are normally symbolic of what they mean to you.

5. MAIN ACTIONS: what's the action in the dream? Multiple actions (changing scenes) could be progression

When interpreting: Ask God for understanding. Ponder it in your heart, examine the details.

A few classic errors some people make about their dreams:

1. Making it mean what you want it to.

2. Assuming it confirms your fears

3. Getting caught up in the details and missing the message (there are normally a lot of details in a dream, but the message isn't in the detail)

4. Believing all dreams are foretelling. For me most of my dreams are to instruct me on who and how to pray

5. Trying to make a garbage dream mean something.

6. Thinking it is a warning for someone else leaving you out of the equation, (if God gives a warning we must act on the warning when He has given us His understanding)

7. Believing the dream is not connected to your life. (If God gave you the dream then it involves you)

Now I know there are many who God gives dreams of foreknowledge of things that will come to pass in our nation. These are prophetic dreams and visions of a national level, God has never given me that kind of dream, I know that certain animals in a dream have symbolic meaning and certain events example a tsunami coming has certain meanings. Yet, for most of us our God dreams effect us and those around us. We must use wisdom to know when or even if we are to release them. I heard a pastor that I trust say recently: "A forewarning dream, means that can change by our actions, while a prophetic dream cannot be changed". These kind of dreams for the most part deal with national events.

Here are just a few things us normal folk need to follow when we have been given a true God dream or vision:

1. Ask God, please don't go searching online for some meaning to what you just dreamed. God gave it to you, God will give you understanding of it.

2. Acknowledge your dream, let God know you heard ask Him to reveal to you what He is telling you. Be like young Samuel and say "Here am I, speak Lord".

3. Align with them, in other words don't just lay it aside, but truly look at what God is asking you to do

4. Act on them, this action only takes place after God has given you His complete instructions.

In order to look at a few life meaning dreams I have had as I would like to, there will be a part B, that I will post after I post this one. But before that let me speak quickly about visions:

A vision unlike a dream comes complete, seeing both the beginning and the end almost simultaneously.

Example; very recently I posted a blog about Truth Bearers and Torch Bearers. I had abruptly woke up with this only Truth Bearers! God gave scripture and immediately I heard Torch Bearers and at the same time I saw flash before me a person carrying a torch running like one at the Olympics. I knew it was a vision and went to see the meaning of a Torch Bearer and found, to simply put, one who carries the truth. From those two things came that blog post. God speaks to me a lot of times through pictures. I will see a picture and at times immediately see a scripture or something that speaks of God Almighty or His people. Then at times I see a picture and I know it has a meaning, but can't put my finger on what. So I save to my phone until God reveals what He wants to put with it. My phone is so full of pictures. 🥰

So many scripture references I could give throughout the Old and New Testament, but perhaps you need to search that on your own. Here are just a few:

Amos 3:7, Acts 2:17, Acts 16:9, 

Acts 18:9. I will add some more in Part B and also hopefully show you through just few of my own God given dreams how they aligned with the words I listed previously.

I truly believe that God has not changed, and He will still speak to His people through dreams and visions. Have I had some earth shaking dreams, not for the world but for my life and my walk with Jesus absolutely. 

This is part A. Part B will actually be some of my dreams and meanings of the dreams. By the way don't read B before you read A it would be Spoilers.

Be blessed.

TRUTH BEARERS

 

CARRYING THE TORCH OF TRUTH

As I woke up on 9/4/20 I heard a word "Truth Bearers", I immediately thought are You speaking or are You reminding me of something I heard. The word stuck, so I asked "God, what is this? Show me scripture". In my thoughts I remembered "I am the way, the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father but through Me"! John 14:6. Then I remembered a scripture in Timothy, but as I went to look my eyes caught this instead, and I said yes that's it:

1 Timothy 6:3-5 If anyone teaches otherwise and does not consent to wholesome words, even the words of our Lord Jesus Christ, and to the doctrine that accords with godliness, he is proud, knowing nothing, but is obsessed with disputes and arguments over words, from which come envy, strife, reviling, evil suspicions, useless wranglings of men of corrupt minds and destitute of the truth, who suppose that godliness is a means of gain. From such withdraw yourself.

The smokescreen of a false teacher, is to tell just enough truth, yet will sneak in lies to the truth of the gospel of Christ. Deceivers yes, but we can discern the error as we learn the truth. The best teacher we can have is not our pastors, teachers, authors and dynamic speakers, NO it is the Holy Spirit who brings revelation as we dig into God's word and allow Him to lead us to all truth. 

I had a vision of a Torch Bearer, going along with Truth Bearer and was thinking why, and what so I looked up the meaning of torch bearer:

1. One that carries a torch 2. One who imparts knowledge, truth or inspiration to others.

I could so take off with this (but I won't), we have over and over heard of the "Mantle", passing the mantle to the next generation. Much like one running a race will pass a baton to the next runner.

God is raising up Truth Bearers who will carry the Torch of Truth, into our communities, and through our towns and cities. These will be people who hold the truth of God's word as sacred, not to be dissected, spit on, corrupted, compromised, trampled under foot. Instead they will lift the truth of God's word as a banner, that will draw others to the truth. Because they do not back down on God's truth many will become offended, and those who carry the Torch of Truth will be considered intolerant. They cannot be bought with money, position, fame, or fear; because they have been bought by the precious blood of Jesus Christ.

As we see the evil and great wickedness within the world, the lies, the deception taking place. We know that as our pastors are preparing their flock to meet Jesus, the world is preparing for the arrival of the Antichrist.

We must hold fast to the gospel of Christ, we must remain on the path of sound doctrine and we must keep ourselves on the right path by sound teaching.

God desires for all His people to be Truth Bearers; yet, only a remnant will pick up the Torch of Truth, during these troubled times. 

Will you be one of them?

Do I have a full understanding of all this, no I don't. But I understand that the word is the same today as it was when it was written, just as God the Father and Jesus the Christ and The Holy Spirit are the same yesterday and today, since they do not change neither can their word. Two things my pastor pointed out recently:

We will know the Antichrist is ready to come on the scene by:

1. The terrible moral condition of the world.

2. The corruption of doctrine

It doesn't take a rocket scientist to see this is what is happening.

Hebrews 10:23 Let us hold fast our confession of our hope without wavering, for He who promised is faithful.

It is time to hear God's call, Go and be a Truth Bearer, a Torch Bearer. Too many expect this is only for pastors and teachers.

Yet we are called in 1 Peter 2:9 a chosen generation, a royal priesthood, a holy nation, His own special people, that you may proclaim the praises of Him, who called us out of darkness into His marvelous light.

Psalm 96:13 For He is coming, for He is coming to judge the earth. He shall judge the world with righteousness, and the peoples with His truth.

With His first coming sin was judged on the cross, Jesus is the truth and He alone is righteous. It is in this truth, that we are sinners and our righteousness is as filthy rags, that we come before the cross in faith and repentance. It was for our salvation Jesus came, and died and rose again. With His second coming, the world will be judged for their unrighteous acts. For the world rejected the Truth! That Jesus the Christ, the Anionted One, the Messiah, was born of a virgin, lived a sinless life, endured the cross because He found you and I worth dying for. When He rose from the dead, He alone conquered death, hell and the grave. As a believer we have been forgiven, when God our Father sees us, He sees the blood of Jesus covering us, He sees us righteous in Christ, forgiven. The same resurrection power that raised Christ from the dead, lives in us. His Holy Spirit, guides us, convicts us of sin, teaches us and leads us to all truth. 

Social media is a tool that is used for many things, to sale products, share family and pet photos, talk about politics, ask for prayer. But what if we all just decided to post a scripture for the day, each day one to encourage and lift up. 

Even reprove and correct, to teach, these are mentioned in the word as what reading the scripture does, and it says that faith comes from hearing the word.

Just a scripture that blessed you that morning. Let us remember, though a scripture or a word can be given on Social Media, Social Media is not our bible. We can be blessed by what we read but never should we abandon the Word of God and the study of His word.

Be blessed!
