Naturally, this will lead us to consider the beauty of God's design for pleasure, joy, and satisfaction through Jesus Christ. Enjoy today's brief article and the various scriptures that I hope will provide you with Godly insight to consider and potentially apply to your life as God leads. You can find it for the next 24 hours through the link in my stories. It is located at SaviorandLord.com.

What Is The Will Of God For Me?

What is the will of God for me? I don’t know how many times in my Christian life I have entertained that question. When we ask it, what are we usually seeking? Aren’t we looking for God’s direction and purpose for our life? We want to know what type of ministry the Lord wants to use us in. We are ready to go, but sometimes the Lord says NO! At least, not yet. Before we can or should pursue those things, we need to make sure we know the fundamentals of Christianity. And that we are living them. God’s will is for you to be holy, so stay away from all sexual sin. 1 Thessalonians 4:3 Does that shock you? The will of God for you and me is to be holy. Many people view “being holy” as living a legalistic lifestyle. That simply means doing certain things, wearing certain clothes, and abstaining from certain activities. And if you choose to live like that you have that freedom. But we can’t make that type of lifestyle a necessity to maintain our salvation.

Biblical Holiness

The holiness spoken about in the Bible means being separated to God. This chapter begins with the following verse. Finally, dear brothers and sisters, we urge you in the name of the Lord Jesus to live in a way that pleases God, as we have taught you. You live this way already, and we encourage you to do so even more. 1 Thessalonians 4:1 Paul told his readers, you’re doing great. But don’t let your guard down because the lust of the flesh can pop up at a moment’s notice. Then each of you will control his own body and live in holiness and honor— not in lustful passion like the pagans who do not know God and his ways. 1 Thessalonians 4:4-5 Therefore Christians must live with godly morals. If they don’t, the next verse tells us there will be consequences. Never harm or cheat a fellow believer in this matter by violating his wife, for the Lord avenges all such sins, as we have solemnly warned you before. 1 Thessalonians 4:6 A Christian involved in sexual sins defiles their body which is the temple of the Holy Spirit. Also, they draw someone else into their sin along with them.

Maintain the Will of God

Involvement in sexual sins makes us directly disobedient to God’s Word and our testimony becomes shattered. The next verse emphasizes the importance of being holy. God has called us to live holy lives, not impure lives. Therefore, anyone who refuses to live by these rules is not disobeying human teaching but is rejecting God, who gives his Holy Spirit to you. 1 Thessalonians 4:7-8 Today the enemy of our souls is having a field day promoting the lust of the flesh. He will happily tempt you through your electronic devices and by any other means. Therefore we must remember that the will of God for you and me is holiness. And we must live it every day. Check out this related post on the will of God called How To Know God's Perfect Will For Your Life. Lord, help us to stay pure and holy while we live in this sinful world. Keep us clean from the lust of the flesh that is always trying to infiltrate our lives. Read Paul's great teaching in 1 Thessalonians 4. Read the full article

"THE SECRET OF CONTENTMENT"

Philippians 4:12, “I know what it is to be in need, and I know what it is to have plenty. I have learned the SECRET OF BEING CONTENT in any and every situation, whether well fed or hungry, whether living in plenty or in want.” {NIV} Believe it or not, but sometimes Contentment has 3 Simple Secrets: 1…LEARNING TO BE HAPPY WITH LESS: A hard-charging executive decided to spend a few days in a…

Without Investigating

“Now the Israelites settled in Egypt in the region of Goshen…” Genesis 47:27NIV

“Then the LORD said to Moses, “Stretch out your hand toward heaven, so that darkness may spread over the land of Egypt—a palpable darkness. …total darkness covered all the land of Egypt for three days. No one could see anyone else, and for three days no one left his place. Yet all the Israelites had light in their dwellings.” Exodus 10:21-23BSB

Have you ever been in a cavern, when the tour guide shuts off the light momentarily? The darkness can be felt. We stand in sin’s darkness equal to the darkness of a cavern. People are so lost in this darkness, they have nothing pointing to the way out.

Many of the people lost in this darkness are believers in Christ who have succumbed to a lie and lost their way— “…for this cause God shall send them strong delusion, that they should believe a lie: that they all might be damned who believed not the truth, but had pleasure in unrighteousness” 2Thessalonians 2:11-12KJV. They chose to believe lies rather than the truth of the gospel. That single choice cost them their salvation, —Matthew 24:12. Meanwhile they believe they’re going to heaven. Lies such as: ‘the Bible is not the infallible word of God;’ ‘Jesus was not birthed by a virgin mother;’ ‘all religions lead to God.’

Society has become overrun by the demonic. One major area I’ve seen the Believers’ passion waning is the political arena— aka government. These Believers have accepted the lie stating they need to stay out of politics.

God—Jesus is a judge, and King with a government which will never end— see Luke 1:32-33. Then 2Corinthians 5:10NIV “…we must all appear before the judgment seat of Christ…”showing, there’s a courtroom in heaven. Somewhere the church became sidetracked. We’ve not been effective in changing the world’s governments by our belief system. (Newsflash! The reason our world is in such a mess is because Believers don’t hold all of the political offices. Those who do hold offices are fraught with backlash from the overwhelming majority of worldly politicians.)

Absurdly, Christians are prone to pick candidates according to the political parties of their parents, friends, even the evening news. They do so without investigating politician’s political platforms; where the individual candidate’s actions say they stand; often their voting records.

Believers numerically have the ability to seat and unseat any politician, IF EVERYONE of us would all vote. Too many Believers say, ‘oh it’s all fake or crooked,’ or ‘I don’t like any of the candidates,’ ‘my vote doesn’t count,’ —therefore I won’t vote. A non-vote is a vote for evil and Holy Spirit sees it. As Believers, all of us, bearing the name of Jesus must pray to get the mind of Christ— then vote. Even if it means voting against our favored political party. Perhaps I am a bit opinionated, but I don’t know how a true Believer could vote for anyone whose political party supports abortion or euthanasia, because that’s murder, Proverbs 24:11NIV “Rescue those being led away to death; hold back those staggering toward slaughter.” God alone has that right to choose the time of death.

Darkness wasn’t allowed in Goshen where the Israelites had settled. They lived in light. None of the evil Egyptian government’s plagues came upon them. They were freed from the sufferings of their slave masters. Per 1Thessalonians 5:5NASB1977 we— “are all sons of light and sons of day. We are not of night nor of darkness;” Our every action and motive of our hearts must come from the Kingdom of our God and His Light within us. Which way will you choose? It’s your choice. You choose.

LET’S PRAY: Holy God we choose to live in the light of Your way and Your gospel. Help us to hold on to You in belief, in the nama of Jesus Christ I pray.

"THE VANISHING“

The God of the universe will come back to take his people to be with him. Which also said, Ye men of Galilee, why stand ye gazing up into heaven? this same Jesus, which is taken up from you into heaven, shall so come in like manner as ye have seen him go into heaven. (Acts 1:11)

The Church which is the body of Christ will be raptured. For the Lord himself shall descend from heaven with a shout, with the voice of the archangel, and with the trump of God: and the dead in Christ shall rise first: Then we which are alive and remain shall be caught up together with them in the clouds, to meet the Lord in the air: and so shall we ever be with the Lord. (1Thessalonians 4:16-17)

He that believeth and is baptized shall be saved; but he that believeth not shall be damned. (Mark 16:16)...Men and brethren, what shall we do? Then Peter said unto them, Repent, and be baptized every one of you in the name of Jesus Christ for the remission of sins, and ye shall receive the gift of the Holy Ghost. (Acts 2:37-38)

Posted by Amy Klutinoty:

Living for the approval of others is an idol that must be destroyed. It's time to get bold in your obedience to God and making the right decisions for your family, regardless of whether or not others agree with you.

If you don’t decide what’s right for you and your family, make no mistake about it, someone or something else will decide for you.

This world is filled with differing opinions. They’ll tell you how to live, how to speak, how to feel, how to think, how to make decisions, how to raise your children, how to work, how to vote, how to serve, how to eat, how to spend your money, and even who or what to worship.

As followers of Jesus, serving and honoring others must never come at the price of ignoring our own conscience and dishonoring God. What a price to pay to live in fear of offending others all for the sake of obtaining false peace.

When the world presses us, we must press back harder. Not in violence and hate, but in authority and love. Not in aggression and anger, but in boldness and truth.

As for me and my house, we shall serve the Lord. Put me on the record for that and that alone.

•Joshua 24:15- And if it is evil in your eyes to serve the Lord, choose this day whom you will serve, whether the gods your fathers served in the region beyond the River, or the gods of the Amorites in whose land you dwell. But as for me and my house, we will serve the Lord.

•Galatians 1:10- For am I now seeking the approval of man, or of God? Or am I trying to please man? If I were still trying to please man, I would not be a servant of Christ.

•1Thessalonians 2:4- But just as we have been approved by God to be entrusted with the gospel, so we speak, not to please man, but to please God who tests our hearts.

•Proverbs 29:25- The fear of man lays a snare, but whoever trusts in the Lord is safe.

•John 5:44- How can you believe, when you receive glory from one another and do not seek the glory that comes from the only God?

•Hebrews 11:6- And without faith it is impossible to please him, for whoever would draw near to God must believe that he exists and that he rewards those who seek him.

TRULY, I AM THANKFUL @pat_garcia @RRBC_ORG #amwriting #reading #thankfulness

Give thanks in all circumstances, for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus for you. 1Thessalonians 5:17, English Standard Version I am in a dilemma at the moment. Things are happening around me that I don’t understand.

What is the Greek word ‘parousia’ and its meaning:

[Strong’s #G3952 - παρουσία, PAROUSIA (par-oo-see'-ah) - From the present participle of G3918; a being near, that is, advent (often, return; specifically of Christ to punish Jerusalem, or finally the wicked); (by implication) physical aspect: - coming, presence. (G3918 - to be near, that is, at hand);

1st Corinthians 15:22,23 - For as in Adam all die, even so in Christ shall all be made alive. But every man in his own order: Christ the firstfruits; afterward they that are Christ's at his coming to punish Jerusalem and the rest of the world.

1st Thessalonians 2:19 - For what is our hope, or joy, or crown of rejoicing? Are not even ye in the presence of our Lord Jesus Christ at his coming to punish Jerusalem and the rest of the world?

1 Thessalonians 3:13 - To the end he may stablish your hearts unblameable in holiness before God, even our Father, at the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ with all his saints—to punish Jerusalem and the rest of the world. (Corresponds to Zechariah 14:1-5)

1Thessalonians 4:15 - For this we say unto you by the word of the Lord, that we which are alive and remain unto the coming of the Lord to punish Jerusalem and the rest of the world—shall not prevent them which are asleep.

1st Thessalonians 5:23 - And the very God of peace sanctify you wholly; and I pray God your whole spirit and soul and body be preserved blameless unto the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ to punish Jerusalem and the rest of the world.

James 5:7,8 - Be patient therefore, brethren, unto the coming of the Lord to punish Jerusalem and the rest of the world. Behold, the husbandman waiteth for the precious fruit of the earth, and hath long patience for it, until he receive the early and latter rain (resurrection). Be ye also patient; stablish your hearts: for the coming of the Lord to punish Jerusalem and the rest of the world—draweth nigh.

2nd Peter 1:16 - For we have not followed cunningly devised fables, when we made known unto you the power and coming of our Lord Jesus Christ to punish Jerusalem and the rest of the world—but were eyewitnesses of his majesty.

2nd Peter 3:3,4 - Knowing this first, that there shall come in the last days scoffers, walking after their own lusts, And saying, “Where is the promise of his coming to punish Jerusalem and the rest of the world? for since the fathers fell asleep, all things continue as they were from the beginning of the creation.”

2nd Peter 3:12 - Looking for and hasting unto the coming of the day of God, to punish Jerusalem and the rest of the world—wherein the heavens being on fire shall be dissolved, and the elements shall melt with fervent heat.

1st John 2:28 - And now, little children, abide in him, that—when he shall appear, we may have confidence, and not be ashamed before him at his coming to punish Jerusalem and the rest of the world.

Wayside Chapel Daily Devotional 2nd March 2024

3/2 Exodus 30:6

6 And you shall put it in front of the veil that is above the ark of the testimony, in front of the mercy seat that is above the testimony, where I will meet with you.

In the tabernacle there was a small altar for incense. It stood right in front of the curtain to the Holy of Holies where God dwelt over the lid of the ark of the testimony, also called the mercy seat. Every morning and every evening, the priest was to burn incense on it, so that the smoke of the incense went up continually before the LORD. It was there that God would speak to the priest and answer the questions he brought from the people to the LORD.

This altar and its incense are a picture of prayer. Incense was to be added in the morning and evening with the effect continuing all day and night. We can see in this the dedicated servant of God coming before Him with earnest prayer for himself and others. Though he does not remain in this special place all day, the prayer comes up before the LORD all day and night as he carries the requests in his heart. This is where God meets with us. He meets us when we come to pray.

Before the priest has entered into this sacred place, he has carefully washed himself and put on his special robe. This is a picture of us first confessing our sins and getting right before God. Then we can offer that incense of intercession and know God will meet with us. Since Jesus died for us, the veil that separated the priest from the glorious but frightening presence of God has been torn open. We no longer need to fear when we come before Him in prayer as we are clothed in the righteousness of Christ (Psalm 84:9).

Consider: Am I following through on this pattern the LORD has shown, meeting with the LORD twice daily and letting the incense on prayer rise day and night (1Thessalonians 5:17)?
