YOUR STRENGTH

 THE SPIRIT WILL GUIDE YOU INTO ALL TRUTH

John 16:5    "But now I go away to Him who sent Me, and none of you asks Me, 'Where are You going?'
6    But because I have said these things to you, sorrow has filled your heart.
7    Nevertheless I tell you the truth. It is to your advantage that I go away; for if I do not go away, the Helper will not come to you; but if I depart, I will send Him to you.
8    And when He has come, He will convict the world of sin, and of righteousness, and of judgment:
9    of sin, because they do not believe in Me;
10    of righteousness, because I go to My Father and you see Me no more;
11    of judgment, because the ruler of this world is judged.
12    "I still have many things to say to you, but you cannot bear them now.
13    However, when He, the Spirit of truth, has come, He will guide you into all truth; for He will not speak on His own authority, but whatever He hears He will speak; and He will tell you things to come.
14    He will glorify Me, for He will take of what is Mine and declare it to you.
15    All things that the Father has are Mine. Therefore I said that He will take of Mine and declare it to you.

Too many people have tried to be “Christians” on their own strength and without the power and guidance of the Holy Spirit.  What they call the work of the Holy Spirit is their own natural feelings and desires.  They don't know Him as a important person and friend. It is important to discover the relationship with the Holy Spirit which they have never had which renews and revitalizes and pours God’s love into people’s hearts, lives and marriages.

1 Corinthians 14
5 I wish you all spoke with tongues, but even more that you prophesied; for he who prophesies is greater than he who speaks with tongues, unless indeed he interprets, that the church may receive edification.

18 I thank my God I speak with tongues more than you all;

“Now the Gifts of the Holy Spirit are good Gifts.  Do you understand this.  All of the Gifts of the Holy Spirit, including speaking in tongues is a Good Gift.  So, get over it and receive all of God’s Good Gifts.”        

THE BIBLE SAYS THERE IS A REAL LAKE OF FIRE WHERE MANY PEOPLE END UP

Matthew 7:13    "Enter by the narrow gate; for wide is the gate and broad is the way that leads to destruction, and there are many who go in by it. 14    Because narrow is the gate and difficult is the way which leads to life, and there are few who find it.

Revelation 20:10 The devil, who deceived them, was cast into the lake of fire and brimstone where the beast and the false prophet are. And they will be tormented day and night forever and ever.

1 John 2:1-2
1 My little children, these things write I unto you, that ye sin not. And if any man sin, we have an advocate with the Father, Jesus Christ the righteous:

2 And he is the propitiation for our sins: and not for ours only, but also for the sins of the whole world. -KJV

Romans 8:31-34
31 What shall we then say to these things? If God be for us, who can be against us? 32 He that spared not his own Son, but delivered him up for us all, how shall he not with him also freely give us all things? 33 Who shall lay any thing to the charge of God's elect? It is God that justifieth. 34 Who is he that condemneth? It is Christ that died, yea rather, that is risen again, who is even at the right hand of God, who also maketh intercession for us. -KJV
 He is the Great Creator.

There is no other like Him.
The earth is full of the Creator’s spoken Words.
Not one Word will go void.
Not one syllable will go unanswered.
Not one letter will be left without another.
The Power in His Words will go on forever.

All man needs is in those precious words.
But man must step up to the plate and Work at learning them.
He must study, rehearse and digest them.
Then He will be full of the Beauty of the Lord.
Then He will be Full of His Person and Power.
The Choice is a daily one—Warrior or wimp.

The enemy will never stop his vigilance.
He is busy intimidating and belittling each person.
He is mocking and laughing and saying he knows better.
He is sure of his way and questions God’s Word is faithful.

He pretends friendship and mixes a little truth with his lies.
He tells you God can’t change circumstance and doesn’t love you.
If this trick doesn’t work then he tells you your better than everyone else.
Either way he has you.

Be careful my friend, the enemy is sly.
He is devious and persuasive.
You can depend on him to lie to you.
If you feel too small or too important then you know you have a problem.
Just surrender it to the Lord and He will take care of it.
Your power lies in a person.
His name is–Jesus Christ.

Your strength lies in trusting the promises in the Word.
Your courage lies in knowing what you have been called to do.
Your wisdom lies in listening to His Voice in your inner man.
Your freedom lies in the liberty that knowing the truth can bring.
Your position lies in recognizing you are merely a humble servant.
And your health lies in a deep relationship only With the LORD!

So surrender,
Study,
Walk,
Talk,
Exercise!
