Back to Bethel

Jacob met #God and had a life changing experience, but did that #change him forever?  What should we do when we stray from #God?  What should a #nation do when its people forget where they came from?   Is God mad at us when we backslide?  Bethel, or house of God, is where Jacob first met God.  Where is your Bethel?  What are some examples that show that our Savior is a God of second chances?  Jacob and his family had strayed with idols.  But we don’t have any idols today, do we?  One of my pastors says that an idol is a good thing that becomes a god thing.  What outward change did God tell Jacob to make?  What benefit did Jacob receive from following the Lord’s instruction?  When Jacob returned to Bethel, was he returning to a place or to God?  We see Jacob dedicating himself to God, but what about God’s dedication to his servant?  Well, He did rename him.

Congratulations to all the #graduates.  #Graduation is a time of #change.  In fact, everyday brings change for each and every one of us.  Are you excited or scared?  What influences have made us who we are?  What tools have we been given to make our way into the future?  Brother Tommy says,’ You are not ready to live until you’re ready to die.’  Peter was already a follower of Christ when Jesus told him what he was and what he was going to be.  What is important about where we aim?  Do you know whose you are?  What do you value?  Do you have a plan?  What can you be if you follow God’s will?

STRENGTH OF THE LIVING GOD

Posted on by
from Barbara's Bible

Do you need more #strength? Seems to me that someone is always promoting the latest #energy #booster, #supplement, or #equipment that will increase your #stamina, #endurance, and #muscles. I am sure all have some benefit even psychological for awhile until you tire of it and move on to the latest fade. Back in the 70’s my husband and I had dinner with the man who held the title “Strongest Man of the Year” . I was struck by his huge muscular frame and as he talked, I could hear pressure on his breathing and vocals caused by the enlarged muscles around his heart and lungs. He only lived a few years after our meeting, and that reminded me of how man’s strength is so fragile. There is a strength that never wanes which belongs to the LORD. “STRENGTH-POWER BELONG UNTO GOD” Ps.62:11 “Be exalted LORD IN THINE OWN STRENGTH: so we will sing and praise thy power.”Ps.21:13 This is my personal prayer today from Psalms 71:16-18: “I WILL GO IN THE STRENGTH OF THE LORD GOD: and make mention of His righteousness only. Now when I am old and greyheaded, O God, forsake me not until I have showed THY STRENGTH UNTO THIS GENERATION and thy power to everyone that is to come.” Ps.71:16-18

His Infernal Ministry – The Peril Of The Unholy Spirit – The Serpent’s Destruction

I love a #happy ending to a story.  What does that have to do with a series about the #devil?  Brother Tommy starts out with a story about #FakeNews going all the way back to 1967.  It is a great parallel to what we are seeing today in terms of the headlines Satan is getting now.  What does the Bible say about  the destiny or destruction of the devil?  For whom was Hell made?  Why were the demons so worried when Jesus walked the Earth?  Evidently, we are somewhere between Satan’s judgment and his sentencing.  That is not to be confused with our judgment, which fortunately, comes later.  Why has God delayed the serpent’s destruction?

THE LIVING GOD COMFORTS

Posted on by

What gives you #comfort? Does #food come to your mind? Maybe it is that relaxing favorite #chair that is so comfy. How about reading a good book for an enjoyable escape. It could be that just being in the presence of someone and hearing their voice is comforting to you. I know all the afore mentioned bring me solace. When I can sit in a well lighted chair with ‘the’ good book, “the Bible” and read GOD’s COMFORTING WORDS – HIS VOICE WHISPERS IN MY EAR. “Remember the WORD unto thy servant, which Thou has caused me to hope. This is my comfort in my affliction as thy word has quickened me.” Ps.119:49,50 “Blessed be God even the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of mercies, and THE GOD OF ALL COMFORT; WHO COMFORTS US IN ALL TRIBULATION, that we maybe able to comfort them which are in any trouble, by the help wherewith we ourselves have received comfort of God.” 11Cor.1:3,4 There is heartache vividly shown via internet all around the world today, however, our God is peaceful, merciful, and gracious ! “GOD COMFORTS THOSE THAT ARE CAST DOWN” 11Cor. 7:6 Are you blinded my sorrow, tribulation, the troubles of the world? “Jesus stood still and called the blind man saying, ‘BE OF GOOD COMFORT, RISE’ …. blind man received his sight and followed Jesus in the way” Mark 10:49-52 “Sing, O heavens, be joyful O earth, ..for the LORD COMFORTS HIS PEOPLE, and will have mercy upon His afflicted” Is.49:13
