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.

A New Creation

2Co 5:17 Therefore if any man be in Christ, he is a new creature: old things are passed away; behold, all things are become new. A very simple yet so profound truth that we must not forget: we are new creations in Christ. We are not the person that we were before we came to know Christ. We are a new person, a new creature in Christ. This is very foundational and very, very important. Many Christians tend to dwell on the Cross. They stay there and never want to be removed from there because the Cross meant the forgiveness of sins. And that is true. But the very purpose of the Cross was not the forgiveness of sins, but rather, to condemn sin. A Christian is not a sinner saved by grace as some denominations teach. And that phrase, sinner saved by grace, is never really found in the Bible. A Christian is not a sinner. We were sinners before we became Christians, but when we became Christians, we put on the new man. Religion would tell you that you are not worthy, how that you are ...

The Operation of God

Col 2:12  Buried with him in baptism, wherein also ye are risen with him through the faith of the operation of God, who hath raised him from the dead. The word operation was translated from the Greek:   G1753 ἐνέργεια energeia en-erg'-i-ah From G1756; efficiency (“energy”): - operation, strong, (effectual) working. This gives us an idea of what goes on in the spirit realm when a person comes to Christ. The Scripture says, we are risen with Him through the faith of the operation of God... the energy... the effectual working of God.  Here is what happens in the spirit realm, believers are risen from the dead by this energy - the effectual working of God. And it is made to pass through the faith of this energy. Now, this clearly tells us that this is not Man's faith, it is God's faith.  Notice the first part of this Scripture. It says, Buried with Him in baptism. This is where Man's faith is in operation. Baptism is the answer of a good conscience toward God. The a...

Evolution

As I drive through the streets of Doha, a curious detail keeps drawing my gaze: the kaleidoscope of car side mirrors—even for something so functional, each one looks different—some round, some square, some with tiny LED lights, others with that classic chrome finish. They’re all mirrors, yet each bears its own unique style. I can almost imagine not knowing anything about how cars are made and thinking… “Car evolution?” Could these variations have evolved themselves? It’s a silly—and amusing—thought. Of course, car manufacturers deliberately design these parts with purpose. Engineers and designers craft each mirror to suit a certain need or aesthetic. And then it hit me: our lives are much like those designs. Just as each mirror varies in design and purpose, God shapes us uniquely. No two paths—or people—are identical, and He doesn’t mass-produce faith or life. We are each intentionally designed. So, if you’ve ever felt like you don’t quite fit the mold, remember—you're not a manufa...
