LACK OF KNOWLEDGE OR CHOICES
My people (the believers) are
being destroyed, because of lack of knowledge, and because they have rejected
my knowledge, I am rejecting them and their children.
Because of spiritual darkness,
which is lack of knowledge, there is no revelation of God’s word.
Hosea 4:6 6 My people are
destroyed for lack of knowledge: because thou hast rejected knowledge, I will
also reject thee, that thou shalt be no priest to me: seeing thou hast
forgotten the law of thy God, I will also forget thy children.
When you reject Gods
knowledge of the word, you also reject His heavenly laws that he has set in
motion.
People are powerless today,
not because there is no power available, but because the power and authority
Jesus made possible for believers has not been activated by faith in Gods word.
The fullness of God, the
promise of God, and the provision of God: led by the Holy Spirit will complete
the purpose that God has for your life.
Whether we are believers or non-believers
we are made up of Body, soul and spirit.
But until you make Jesus the
Lord of your life, and accept Him as savior, the spirit of God won’t be
activated in your spiritual life.
The children of Israel
Stop thinking negative
thoughts that can control your life.
Don’t let these thoughts
control what God has for you. Think about Gods promise of a better tomorrow.
In God we trust is more than
a statement engraved on our coins, it must be the guidance principle that
governs every action of our life.
God’s word gives us a new
hope, and new thoughts and a glorious new life.
One of our greatest battles
is the battle of the mind.
Isaiah 55:6-9 6 Seek ye the Lord while he
may be found, call ye upon him while he is near:
7 Let the
wicked forsake his way, and the unrighteous man his thoughts: and let him
return unto the Lord, and he will have mercy upon him; and to our
God, for he will abundantly pardon.
8 For my
thoughts are not your thoughts, neither are your ways my ways, saith the Lord.
9 For as the
heavens are higher than the earth, so are my ways higher than your ways, and my
thoughts than your thoughts.
We must give up the wicked
ways of the world and our unrighteous thoughts so God will have mercy on us and
we can regain His favor on us.
For His thoughts are
different from our thoughts, His thoughts and His ways are higher than ours.
As long as you live in a
mortal body, your carnal natural mind is the place where your fight will be won
or lost.
Ephesians 6:10-12 10 Finally, my brethren, be
strong in the Lord, and in the power of his might.
11 Put on the
whole armour of God, that ye may be able to stand against the wiles of the
devil.
12 For we
wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against
powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual
wickedness in high places.
We don’t battle against flesh
and blood, but spiritual wickedness in high places.
If you are a believer, Satan
can’t fight you in the spiritual realm any more. He can and will battle you in
your mind.
The devil can deceive you,
but deception is all he has to work with.
He is still going to try to
steal, kill and destroy your life and your relationship with Christ Jesus.
He is going to try to do it
by gaining control of your mind or your way of thinking.
If you’re going to take a
successful stand against the devil, you will have to do it on the battlefield
of your mind.
If we start looking away from
Jesus, our eyes will be deceived. We must keep Jesus in our sight.
We must get beyond the
physical realm.
Ephesians 1:3-7 3 Blessed be the God and Father
of our Lord Jesus Christ, who hath blessed us with all spiritual blessings in
heavenly places in Christ:
4 According as
he hath chosen us in him before the foundation of the world, that we should be
holy and without blame before him in love:
5 Having
predestinated us unto the adoption of children by Jesus Christ to himself,
according to the good pleasure of his will,
6 To the
praise of the glory of his grace, wherein he hath made us accepted in the
beloved.
7 In whom we
have redemption through his blood, the forgiveness of sins, according to the
riches of his grace;
Being chosen for salvation,
adopted as His children, forgiveness of sin, insight, the gifts of the spirit,
power to do Gods will, and the hope of His glory through Christ Jesus, living
forever in heaven, are just some of the benefits of being saved, and making
Jesus the Lord of your life.
If you are a believer of His
word and you have a relationship with Jesus you can enjoy these blessings now.
Romans 8:17 17 And if children,
then heirs; heirs of God, and joint-heirs with Christ; if so be that we suffer
with him, that we may be also glorified together.
God has identified you as his
own by giving you the Holy Spirit. The Holy Spirit is Gods guarantee that he
will give us everything he promised.
And that he has purchased us
to be his own people, as Jesus is, so are we.
The will of God will never
lead you where the grace of God can not keep you.
The cross of Calvary has made it possible for you to rise above and
beyond the physical realm by accepting the finished work at the cross through
his son Jesus Christ.
So how do we rise from the
way we see ourselves into how God sees us?
Don’t allow what we
experience in our physical senses or our emotions to control what we think.
The Holy Spirit confirms a
higher spiritual reality, it is confirmed by us being able to understand and
discern Gods word.
It is the ability to conceive
of something that you can not see with your natural eyes or natural mind.
We must go beyond the
physical realm. The natural or carnal thinking will lead us over into the area
of doing things in our own self effort or our own strength.
God is directing your life
for a purpose. Everyday is not always pretty. We must endure and win souls to Christ
Jesus. Remember He will never leave us or forsake us.
Stay in the word,
Brother Andy
