Thread: Pastor Allan's Message 9112010.2

Proverbs 18:21 "Death and life are in the power of the tongue: and they that love it shall eat the fruit thereof." KJV You speak life to your life, or you speak death to your life. Be careful of the words that you speak about yourself and to others. Your success in life may depend on it.

Ecclesiastes 7:9 "Be not hasty in thy spirit to be angry: for anger resteth in the bosom of fools." KJV Quickness to anger shows a lack of self control over the emotions. When getting angry is the first response to situations experienced, this shows a lack of level-headedness or a lack of spiritual maturity. It is a kind of reactionary behavior, that shows a lack of the ability to think quickly, or to process incoming information rationally before acting. In a word, it is foolish.

Worrying paralyzes you spiritually, as you descend into a horrible mental pit from which there could be no return. Turn to God quickly and live. Matthew 6: 25 “Therefore I say to you, do not worry about your life...."

Worrying is negative reaction to what you see or hear and shows a lack of faith in God. Always trust in God. He will protect you!! Romans 8:28 "And we know that all things work together for good to those who love God, to those who are the called according to His purpose." NKJV

Psalm 145:18 "The LORD is near to all who call upon Him, To all who call upon Him in truth." So do not hesitate to call upon the Lord in prayer at all times. The Lord will "lift up His countenance upon you, And give you peace.”’ God bless.

Jesus said, " A new commandment I give unto you, That ye love one another; as I have loved you, that ye also love one another. By this shall all men know that ye are my disciples, if ye have love one to another." John 13:34, 35 KJV. So show love to all you encounter!

Earthly wisdom cannot bring peace, is not capable of bringing peace. Peace can only come through God's wisdom. John 14:27 "Peace I leave with you, my peace I give unto you: not as the world giveth, give I unto you." KJV

I pray that each of you have a worry free life. Remember, worry is of Satan. So rebuke worry with a word of scripture which is the sword of the spirit. Jesus said, "Let not your heart be troubled, neither let it be afraid...." Be strong, therefore, in the Lord. God bless.

Christian religious denominations were created by man for man, and are therefore not of God. We must seek to live according to God's will, and not according to the tenets of any of these denominations. 1 Corinthians 1:10 "Now I beseech you, brethren, by the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, that ye all speak the same thing, and that there be no divisions among you; but that ye be perfectly joined together in the same mind and in the same judgment."

As Christians you must watch the people with whom you associate, especially if you are easily influenced by other people. But since you live in this world, encountering all kinds of people is a given. So keep your conversation holy, your thoughts pure, and your actions Godly. Remember, you are the salt and light of the world. Psalm 1:1-3 "Blessed is the man that walketh not in the counsel of the ungodly, nor standeth in the way of sinners, nor sitteth in the seat of the scornful. 2) But his delight is in the law of the LORD; and in his law doth he meditate day and night. 3) And he shall be like a tree planted by the rivers of water, that bringeth forth his fruit in his season; his leaf also shall not wither; and whatsoever he doeth shall prosper." KJV

Remember, to let go of what is worrying you, today, right now. Have faith in God. He said, "Be still and know that I am God...." To get rid of worrying, you must pray in the spirit. Let the Holy Spirit take control of your life, and TRUST IN GOD at all times, no matter of dire the situation seems. Remember, walk by faith and not by sight!!! Now, take a break from what you are doing, ask to be excused, get to a quiet place if you can and pray from the heart, casting your burdens on to the Lord. Matthew 11:28 -30 "Come unto me, all ye that labour and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest. 29) Take my yoke upon you, and learn of me; for I am meek and lowly in heart: and ye shall find rest unto your souls. 30) For my yoke is easy, and my burden is light." KJV

Here's wishing everyone a peaceful day!

A prayer: "Dear Lord, I thank You for this day. Continue to use me to do Your will. Continue to bless me that I may be a blessing to others. Keep me strong that I may help the weak. Keep me uplifted that I may have words of encouragement for others. I pray for peace, love and joy in their homes that they are out of debt and all their needs are met. I pray that every eye that reads this knows there is no problem, circumstance, or situation greater than God. Every battle is in Your hands for You to fight. I pray that these words be received into the hearts of every eye that sees them and every mouth that confesses them willingly. In Jesus' Name, Amen."

1 Corithians 13:13 "And now abide faith, hope, love, these three; but the greatest of these is love."

Remember to always pray for guidance on the decisions you have to make, because the decisions you make do impact your life and could do so for a long time to come.

A life of faith in God through Christ is a life free of worry. Have faith, live free (of worry)!

Praise the Lord Pastor:
Just little note to say your post have encouraged me very much.
Going through a little battle, but your words have given me strength.
Surely the Lord knows those who are His............

Thank You,
Eleanor (Tante)

Thank you Eleanor. I must say your posts have also been inspiring. God bless.

Religious tolerance may sound politically correct, but it could lead AWAY from the truth! God's word is the ONLY truth!!!

What is the most important life changing decision you have to make? Answer:Matthew 6:33 "But seek first the kingdom of God and His righteousness, and all these things shall be added to you."(NKJV)

Jesus was mocked, beaten, slapped in the face, spat on, physically abused, a crown of thorns was placed on His head, and He was nailed to a cross. And still He said, "Father, forgive them.... "What has some one done to you that you find it so hard to forgive him/her? Remember, forgiveness is essential for entrance into the kingdom of God.

The decisions you make in life can either hurt or bless those closest to you. Decide wisely!

Greetings in the name of the King. Just stop for a few seconds and pray this: "Heavenly Father, I choose not to be conformed to this world. I choose to be transformed by the renewing of my mind. Let your will be done in me. In Jesus' name. Amen."

Matthew 5:3 "Blessed are the poor in spirit: for theirs is the kingdom of heaven." The first step to the kingdom of Heaven. In order to enter the kingdom of Heaven, you must first realize your spiritual poverty, and that there is a need for God in your life. It is this realization that sets you on the path to seeking spiritual richness. [Notice; Jesus did not say blessed are the "poor", but he said "poor in spirit". There is a fundamental and important difference between the two.]
