Life in the Word

If you abide in me, and my words abide in you, ask whatever you wish, and it will be done for you. (Joh 15:7)

God works by principles. He built the universe by principles. Everything that exists work by principles. And some of those principles we have already discovered; like the law of gravity and many other physical constants and principles that govern this physical world and the entire universe. 

I believe God has set up the spiritual realm in the same manner that He set up the physical world. God has set up spiritual principles so that by them the spirit realm is governed. Well not only the spirit realm but the physical realm as well because the physical realm is subject to the spiritual realm. The Lord has demonstrated that to us when He was here. He multiplied the bread and the fish, He walked on water, He walked through closed doors, and many other wonders He performed. This generation has also seen many miracles through a number of Ministers and Pastors. And a local church is never without a testimony of the supernatural move of the Spirit of God.

John 15:7 is plain and simple. I believe it is a key principle that God wants us to learn. We know from Scripture that we can never be anything if we are apart from God. Scripture also tells us that with God all things are possible. John 15:7 is simple to do if we are only willing.

Sometimes a Christian's prayer life is just full of begging; asking God to address all kinds of troubles and cares. But John 15:7 tells us that its not really up to God at all. If we just abide in Him and His words abide in us, whatever we ask, it will be done for us.  And so, all that we really need to do is just to stick with Him, and let His words abide in us. We carry His words with us, we don't let it get out from our sight, they are always at the forefront of our brains, of our tongues, they are always overflowing in our hearts as if they are our most prized possessions! And we will ask whatever we wish and it will be done for us.

If Isaac Newton went to experiment and discovered the Law of Gravity so that now we know how to operate and work through it, I believe we can also experiment so that we can discover that Law of Faith and we can also learn how to operate and work through it. Now let us consider this passage as our take home science project:

My son, be attentive to my words; incline your ear to my sayings. Let them not escape from your sight; keep them within your heart. For they are life to those who find them, and healing to all their flesh. (Pro 4:20-22)

I believe if we are just diligent enough, to listen and to do His words, we will never be without a testimony of the goodness of God.

Between God and the Politician

Often we hear during election time of Politicians platform of government and promised infrastructure projects should they be elected in office. But all those talk and speeches just go back to the filing cabinets once elections are through and kept hid until the next elections. So between God and the Politician is a great chasm, a great divide between truth and lies because Man's words are often empty, but the Word of God is never empty. Not because Man wants to lie but because he is not capable of keeping his every word. God on the other hand is able. God said: But unto you that fear my name shall the Sun of righteousness arise with healing in his wings, and you shall go forth, and grow up as calves of the stall. And ye shall tread down the wicked; for they shall be ashes under the soles of your feet in the day that I shall do this, saith the LORD of hosts (Mal 4:2-3). Those words are not empty. Surely they come to pass to them which receives them. And God has declared it that ...

Treasure Nuggets

(Gen 2:17)  but of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil you shall not eat, for in the day that you eat of it you shall surely die." This goes to show that God never intended man to die. Man was meant for eternity with God. It was when Adam ate of that fruit that death entered in and reigned. (Rom 5:20)  Now the law came in to increase the trespass, but where sin increased, grace abounded all the more, Where to find grace? It is in the very area of your shortcoming. Where sin increased, grace abounded all the more! Paul rejoices in his weaknesses for God says, "My grace is sufficient for you, for my power is made perfect in weakness (2Co 12:9). "   Paul declares, "For when I am weak, then I am strong!" Receive the grace of God where you have fallen, for it is there that grace abounds all the more! (Joh 15:3)  Already you are clean because of the word that I have spoken to you. The word of God is powerful. Let it dwell in you richly. It is through th...

Ask In Faith

Jas 1:5-8 (5) If any of you lack wisdom, let him ask of God, that giveth to all men liberally, and upbraideth not; and it shall be given him. (6) But let him ask in faith, nothing wavering. For he that wavereth is like a wave of the sea driven with the wind and tossed. (7) For let not that man think that he shall receive any thing of the Lord. (8) A double minded man is unstable in all his ways. God is a giver. That is His nature. God is willing to give more than we are wanting to have. Verse 5 in the NIV reads: "If any of you lacks wisdom, you should ask God, who gives generously to all without finding fault, and it will be given to you." God does not find fault. He will not examine whether there is something wrong with you. He will not count it against you even if you blew it. He just wants to give. Only that we ask in faith. Not doubting. Because if we ask full of faith, the excercise of that wisdom will also be full of faith. The excercise of that wisdo...
