A Higher Level Of Wisdom! April, 2013

We have all been there.  We pull out instructions to put an item together and it does not work.  It’s as though something is missing.  Maybe it’s the words, they don’t quite describe or explain what we need to know.  In those cases a lot of people give up.  I never do.  I simply…pray and ask God for His Wisdom and Insight.  I have learned to do that at the start of my day. 

Or better yet, ever met anyone who tries to tell you what the Bible says when their lack of revelation is all too clear…I pray in those instances too…I don’t correct; I just allow the Holy Spirit to lead me.

But we speak the wisdom of God in a mystery, even the hidden wisdom, which God ordained before the world unto our glory:

1 Corinthians 2: 7

Directions For Prayer! August, 2012

Confess to one another therefore your faults (your slips, your false steps, your offenses, your sins) and pray [also] for one another, that you may be healed and restored [to a spiritual tone of mind and heart]. The earnest (heartfelt, continued) prayer of a righteous man makes tremendous power available [dynamic in its working]. James 5: 16

But you are a chosen generation, a royal priesthood, a holy nation.” (1 Peter 2:9)

COMMENT: In the Old Testament the priests were intercessors for the ordinary people. They made sacrifices for them to cover their sins. Once a year a priest went into “The Most Holy Place” and made a sacrifice for himself and the people. This was called The Day of Atonement. (Exodus 30:10) When Jesus died on the cross it is told that the veil of the temple was torn from top to bottom denoting that we New Covenant Christians can now have direct access to The Throne of God to obtain mercy and grace (Hebrews 4:16); we need no intermediary. (Mark 15:38) Of course, this doesn’t mean that we should not ask others to pray for us. Our Lead Scripture tells us that we don’t need priests to intercede for us because we are priests. Jesus, the High Priest of our confession, has taken His blood into the Most Holy Place. There is no longer a need for animal sacrifices but we are to offer the sacrifice of thanksgiving. (Psalm 116:17)

SCRIPTURE STUDY: Hebrews 9: 11-14

WISE SAYING: HE WHO KNEELS BEFORE GOD CAN STAND BEFORE ANYONE.

Believe What You Can’t See and What God Says! by Gene McGuire December 12, 2011

 

 

“……even God, who ….calls those things which do not exist as though they did.” (Romans 4:17b) COMMENT: I am not sure of the authenticity of this story, but I heard about this Church whose theology was based upon “positive thinking”. At the end of a particular service, as the pastor was greeting the congregation, he stopped one of the parishioners and asked him about his wife. The husband responded that she was sick. The pastor quickly corrected him and asserted: “Oh no, she just thinks she’s sick. Two Sundays later, we are at the same scene and the pastor, once again, inquires about the man’s wife and he said “she’s dead!’ He responded: “Oh, she thinks she’s dead!”

I suspect that some Christians believe that participants in the so-called “Faith Movement” lie and actually deny that the circumstances that have come upon them exist. . . .just like the pastor in our story. However, it is my understanding that they don’t deny the existence of the circumstances, but they deny the right of the circumstances to be manifested in their lives based on the promises of God. By confessing God’s promises, they are “calling forth things that are not as though they were.”

 

SCRIPTURE STUDY: Job 22:28, Proverbs 4:20-22, 12:14 and Romans 10:17

Character Flaws by Gene McGuire September, 2010

“And do not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind. . . . .” (Romans 12:2)

COMMENT: Dear Saints, I often talk about some of my character flaws, but today I want to tell you about a “victory”! When I first became a Christian I read a booklet that told me to start sitting in the front of the church so I would not be distracted by others. Well, as time went on, I realized there was another reason to take a front seat. . . . . I need a lot of room when I worship the Lord. A couple of months ago a new couple joined our Church and one Sunday morning I walked up the aisle to see “my space” occupied by the newcomers. I was pleased that my response was calm as I took a seat across the aisle. I was pleased because I know that if the same situation had taken place a few years ago, my self-centeredness would have been on display.

I’m sure I would not have said anything to the couple, but I am positive that I would have made it my business to arrive early the next Sunday and “reclaim” my seat. The “squatters” haven’t been in church for several Sundays but I have respected their “territory” by leaving it empty. If, in the future, someone decides to preempt my current “abode”, I thank God that I will react in the same godly manner I just told you about.

SCRIPTURE STUDY:1 Corinthians 13:4 – 7

WISE SAYING: ANGER IS ONE LETTER SHORT OF DANGER!
