PROPHETS. DIETers.
An Odd combination. What do they have in common?
Well, first of all for my blogs --- Almighty God. Everything I write is -- with prayers for
HIS wisdom and not mine -- written about
RELATION-SHIP WITH ALMIGHTY GOD.
HIS wisdom and not mine -- written about
RELATION-SHIP WITH ALMIGHTY GOD.
That's the only thing that really matters in life, because
that's the only thing for you that will LAST into the NEXT life.... and yes -- there is life after death.
Mathematically speaking, there are FAR too many evidences to ignore.... if we are truly seeking to discern truth.
Setting aside PRIDE in our own logic and knowledge
with a humbleness that realizes,
Hey, I'm NOT really a great fount of Wisdom.
Mathematically speaking, there are FAR too times in your life
as well as mine seeing how it couldn't be "just luck" ....
The right thing at the right time SO many times?
Once, twice, even 20 times -- maybe luck. But all through your life?
BACK TO Prophets and Dieters:
A radio preacher was teaching how SATAN tries to give us FEAR.
If you don't believe in Satan,
you don't believe in Jesus as being Truthful. Repeatedly Jesus SAYS Satan is a REAL PERSON -- not
a "representation of evil." Start with John 8:44 and Luke 10:18. (there are many more)
A "PROPHET" told the radio preacher that he was going to get extremely ill and
perhaps die during the next year. The preacher went to God in prayer.
The "Word" that the preacher heard in his heart from God was this:
Look at this woman's life. Is she showing my joy, peace, love for all people?
Or does she gossip and complain and get upset easily?
The preacher's answer was clear:
A prophet is someone with a MESSAGE from God.
And God does not use persons who do not
have Him within....
and a person without God within shows this by being complaining, upset, and etc. allthe time. We're not talking about emotions day to day.... but a lifestyle.
BACK TO Prophets and Dieters:
CAN God give people a message through me? Through you?Or do people look at my (not-sometimes but) constant chaotic food choices,
or complaining word choices, or over-anything choices that seek peace somewhere besides OR "in addition" to God?
Fruits of the Spirit: Love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, self-control.
If I don't have these, can God use me to
share His Messages to His world of people?
GOD'S ENCOURAGEMENT and DEFINITION
People can TELL who does or does not have God's Holy Spirit, by their actions AND their words of wisdom:
Acts 6 (see verses 3, 8, 10) -- this is how Stephen was known to have God's Holy Spirit within Him: "Therefore, brethren, seek out from among you seven men of [good] reputation, full of the Holy Spirit and wisdom, whom we may appoint over this business... And Stephen, full of faith and power, did great wonders and signs among the people. And they were not able to resist the wisdom and the Spirit by which he spoke"
PRAYER
LORD, and I do mean "LORD" -- I pray you will help me have the mind and heart of Christ Jesus.... with all the fruits of Your Holy Spirit. Not just for my joy, but so that I can bring YOU joy, sharing your messages with other people so they see you as the Great God that You are. Please help me to truly reflect you.... Second Corinthians 3:18. I cannot without You.
