Be Strong In The LORD

[Book of Jeremiah]

You are engaged in a work so spiritual, so far above all human power, that to forget the Holy Spirit is to ensure defeat.

-Charles Spurgeon

 

[Book of Jeremiah]

Take heed, that your own heart is right, on key, so that when the fingers of mercy touch the strings they may resound with full notes of communion.
-Charles Spurgeon

 

[Book of Jeremiah]

It is prayer that is the link between the King on the throne and the church at His footstool.

-Andrew Murray

 

[Book of Jeremiah]

We do not want fingertip prayers, which only touch the burden, we need shoulder prayers, which bear a load in earnestness and are not to be denied their desire.

[Book of Jeremiah]

A message from William Gurnall - from devotional - Christian in Complete Armour -

Can you honestly say that when God first came to you your thoughts were pure and your intentions holy? Were you not already armed with the weapons of rebellion - a covetous spirit, a deceitful spirit, a lying tongue? Oh, yes, you had a nature fully charged with enmity against God. It lay like unfired gunpowder, waiting for a flame! Fall on your knees in humble gratitude to the One who sent His Spirit and grace to stop you, even while your nature meditated on nothing but war against God and his laws.

One reason we are so easily persuaded to sin is because we do not understand Satan's purpose. He does with men in sinning as generals do with them in fighting. Captains beat their drums for volunteers, promising pay and promotions to all who enlist. The guarantee of such excellent benefits makes soldiers come streaming it, with little or no thought as to whether the ground of war is just.

Satan entices to sin by giving golden promises of rewards for entering his service - power, fame, or fortune. Many foolish souls are won by his clever arguments and the prodding of their own greedy natures. Few bother to ask, "Why is the devil so eager to have me join his ranks?"

Shall I tell you? Do you think your pleasure or profit is his goal?
Not likely! His aspirations are all for himself. He has a personal grudge against God, and he brings you, by sinning, to join his quarrel.

What he fails to mention is that you jeopardize your very soul to defend his pride and lust. But he is hardly worried about your welfare. He loses no more sleep over your certain damnation than a demented general does over the men he sends on a suicide mission.

Knowing this, why would you ever join Satan in his fight against God?

He sends you on a suicide mission! This bloody Joab will order you where no one ever came out alive. If you stand where God's bullets fly, you are a dead man, unless you throw up your arms and surrender at once.

Joe, we're coming back to the bible study discussion now - so if you want to join in - join in - otherwise - lets leave George W. out - alright? I have some great things to share coming up - that will enhance this study - stay tuned, Joe!

You're going to mindlessly rant scripture at us some more? Because that never gets old.

 

[Book of Jeremiah]

This war is a spiritual holocaust. Either you destroy the power of Satan in your life by putting on the whole armor of God and keeping it on or Satan will destroy you. The great saints of every century have been tried in the fires of temptation. And to a man they have been singed whenever Satan found the slightest chink in their graces. Do not disregard what history has repeatedly shown to be true.

Not mindlessly, Joe, the Word of God is never mindless. Nor is it a rant. The Word of God will never get old - this is true - because throughout eternity those who serve Jesus Christ will most assuredly continue in speaking the Word of God daily. It's our daily bread. The Bread of Life.

It is written:
Hebrews 4 12 For the word of God is alive and active. Sharper than any double-edged sword it penetrates even to dividing soul and spirit joints and marrow it judges the thoughts and attitudes of the heart.

Context
God's Word is Living and Active

12For the word of God is living and active and sharper than any two-edged sword, and piercing as far as the division of soul and spirit, of both joints and marrow, and able to judge the thoughts and intentions of the heart. 13And there is no creature hidden from His sight, but all things are open and laid bare to the eyes of Him with whom we have to do.
Cross References
Psalm 45:3
Gird your sword on your side, you mighty one; clothe yourself with splendor and majesty.Psalm 149:6
May the praise of God be in their mouths and a double-edged sword in their hands,

________________________________
What this means is that when I write the Word of God, post the Word of God, Speak the Word of God it will not return back void unto God until it has performed the work it was sent to do. Those who are reading the Word of God on this board are being effected by it. Greatly effected. It is all a very good work and a blessed work by the Holy Spirit who draws each one to Christ! To God be the Glory!

Make sure to listen to the music, Joe. The anointing is there on the music and will also minister to you along with the Word of God.

 

[Book of Jeremiah]

Do not disrespect the LORD like this on this thread, Guno. It is a dangerous thing to provoke the LORD to anger. You do not want to do it. I'm asking you to heed the warnings in the Torah and the Tanach and do not provoke the LORD to anger. Please listen and do not do it.

 

[sealybobo]

What I notice is most Christians think about God on Sunday and then forget about him the rest of the week. In fact I don't even think they give him the entire Sunday. They give him a few hours and then it's NFL the rest of the day or back to their normal lives whatever that means. I know it doesn't involve talking or thinking about Jesus 24/7.
