WORD OF GOD

WORD OF GOD,    “WORTH CONSIDERING”  7/24/19,    (On my desk this morning.)

Today’s Scripture
Jesus answered, “It is written…”(Matthew 4:4, NIV)

Find Where It’s Written
Anytime you are facing adversity or trials, the first line of defense needs to be in your mind. If you allow fear to come in and take root in your thinking, it becomes a stronghold that affects every part of you. But when thoughts of fear come, you don’t have to “sign for the package,” so to speak. Instead of activating fear by meditating on it, believing it and speaking it, you can turn things around and activate faith. How do you activate faith? Hebrews tells us that the Word of God is living and active, sharper than a double-edged sword, and able to divide soul and spirit. When the enemy tried to tempt Jesus, He gave us the example of how to respond. He said, “It is written!” Instead of going through the day worried, thinking about how it’s not going to work out, start meditating on what God says. Activate faith by speaking the Word of God. Let it sink down inside of you and transform your being. Always remember, His Word is alive, His Word is truth, His Word is your weapon. So take hold of His promises and find where it is written!

A Prayer for Today
“Father, thank You for Your Word which lights my path and transforms my life. I choose today to turn my thoughts toward You. I choose today to meditate on Your Word and Your promises so that I can be empowered to live in the victory You have prepared for me in Jesus’ name. Amen.”

My Thoughts:
It has always amazed me that Jesus actually used the words of Moses to back lucifer off on the “Mount of Temptation.”  And then even lucifer started misquoting scripture back to HIM, Matt.4:1-11.   So the Word of God, can not be broken as Apostle John teaches in John 10:34-38, (Psalms. 82:6)  ³⁴ Jesus answered them, Is it not written in your law, I said, Ye are gods?  ³⁵ If he called them gods, unto whom the word of God came, and the scripture cannot be broken;  ³⁶ Say ye of him, whom the Father hath sanctified, and sent into the world, Thou blasphemest; because I said, I am the Son of God?  ³⁷ If I do not the works of my Father, believe me not.  ³⁸ But if I do, though ye believe not me, believe the works: that ye may know, and believe, that the Father is in me, and I in him.

So if the scriptures can not be broken and The Creator wants to make us like HIM,  what is stopping HIM?   “US”   We set our heels in the sand and say when we see it we will believe it,  and all the while GOD is trying to teach us is that if we will really believe it,  we will then see it.   We want to bounce off our our past,  God says NO!,  we do it anyway.   We micro manage our future tomorrows,  God says,  NO! and we try to do it anyway.   HIS WORD carefully tells us.  “But seek ye first the kingdom of God, and his righteousness; and all these things shall be added unto you,  Matt 6:11.”   And we tend to totally ignore this “WORD OF GOD” that can not be broken…????   In fact we are really not too sure of what “HIS RIGHTEOUSNESS” IS  REALLY ALL ABOUT ????  Jesus taught:   He that hath my commandments, and keepeth them, he it is that loveth me: and he that loveth me shall be loved of my Father, and I will love him, and will manifest myself to him.  John 14:21.  (Sanctification is a time process and not automatic.)
