It Is Written, Isaiah 30:21, your ears shall hear a word behind you, saying; this is the way, walk in it. Whenever you turn to the right hand or whenever you turn to the left.
Today's message is about the Holy Spirit again. The Holy Spirit is constantly on my mind, because I need Him so much. I feel I can talk to Him, and He talks to me. The fact is, anyone can talk to the Holy Spirit, and He will talk to them. You just have to ask Him, and then listen.
The verse above is absolutely true. The Bible has hundreds of verses about the Holy Spirit. They tell who He is and what He does. Remember, He was sent to us by Jesus to help us in every way. I believe when we have a relationship with the Holy Spirit, we have it all. Most of us don't realize what part He plays in our daily life.
It is written,1 Corinthians 2:9 – 10, eye has not seen, nor ear heard, nor have entered into the heart of man, the things which God has prepared for those who love Him. But God has revealed them through His spirit. For the spirit searches all things, yes, the deep things of God.
If you think about that verse, without the Holy Spirit, how could you know God's plan for you? How would salvation be possible without the help you receive from the Holy Spirit? Many of us don't even realize that.
I will give you an example of a real problem many people have, even when they have the Holy Spirit. To start with, recognize this fact. God wants us to know how much we need Him. He wants us to have faith and trust in Him. When we do, it praises Him.
We are all human, and we need to feel we are in control. I guess you could call it pride. We get a high from figuring things out. The old saying "let go and let God" is something that most people describe as an excuse for doing nothing. We can't help it, most of us were raised that way.
When you confront any problem in life, it usually comes with stress and the problems that that causes. You struggle with it, and look to solve it, but roadblocks keep popping up adding to the frustration. It may or may not work out. If it does, you pat yourself on the back and think how smart you are. If it doesn't work out, you look for excuses. That is a common trait most of us share at times.
It took me a long time to understand and let go. I won't bore you with specific stories, just the method. This proved itself to be true, no matter what.
No matter if it is as simple as fixing a lawnmower, or buying a house. Talk to the Holy Spirit about it. This is the hard part at first. Then forget about it and wait for Him to speak. It could be 5 min. or five weeks. You will get an answer when you least expect. If you have peace in your heart do what He says, but if there is no peace from the beginning, don't do it.
Trust, follow the peace, and it will all happen for the best according to God's plan. Even if problems come up, rest easy, the Holy Spirit will handle it. With the Holy Spirit, there is no reason to fear anything. Have a blessed day. Praise the Lord!

Whose Faith?
It Is Written, Ephesians 2:8, for by grace you have been saved through faith, and that not of yourselves, it is the gift of God.
In Romans 12:3, it states that God has dealt to each one a measure of faith.
As you can see, faith is not really a product of your mind. God gave each of us a measure of faith. It is the same amount of faith to each person, and it is more than enough for each of us to fulfill His plan for our lives. You don't get more, and you don't get any less.
Consider your faith as something that must be developed. It is no different than building muscles, or skills. The more you work on it the more it develops. You don't want a couch potato kind of faith, you want to have a superhero kind of faith.
People you see on TV, such as preachers, maybe even some people you know, they seem to have more faith than you do. The fact is that the same amount of faith manifests as dozens of levels of faith. The only difference is the amount of effort spent on development. Many people disagree with that, but it is a fact.
Before the world existed, God knew each of us and what we would do in our lives. He does not practice partiality, so He gives us a plan for our lives that is custom-designed for us. He makes all kinds of gifts available for each of us, including salvation. Everyone has the same access to the same things. It is up to us as to what we do in life.
Since God makes Himself known to each person, we can call on Him at any time and receive salvation. At that point He sends the Holy Spirit to teach us, help us, guide us, give us wisdom. As with all of God's gifts, we decide if we want them or not. All of this put together works to determine the kind of life you lead, everything by faith.
If on the other hand, you choose to ignore God and do it your way, He will allow you to do that. Your helper will show up too. Only this guy is not from God. This helper is probably the devil. His job and mission in life is to keep as many people as possible from accepting salvation and all the other gifts God has for you. The devil wants your destruction. When you follow him, you're showing your faith in what he says. It all started out with the same amount of faith. Which path will you choose? Have a blessed day. Praise the Lord!

Is the Bible Relevant for Today?
It Is Written, John 8:51, most assuredly, I say to you, if anyone keeps my word, he shall never see death.
In the world today, an overwhelming number of people believe the Bible is out of date, and it should be brought up to modern times. They claim that it may have been good 2000 years ago, but that was then and this is now. To prove a point, many people like to twist things around a little bit. For instance, they say abortion is not forbidden in the Bible. It is true abortion is not mentioned in the Bible, but murder is. Homosexuality is not mentioned, but sex between males is. I even heard it said on a TV show that Sodom and Gomorrah were destroyed because of hospitality issues. Really?
When we read about the Exodus, we see that the Israelites were given the promised land. The only thing they had to do was go in and take it. They didn't believe, and were too busy complaining about everything to do anything about it. They had a comfort zone that was actually a slave mentality. All the original people that left Egypt except Joshua and Caleb died without entering the promised land. They just wandered for 40 years because they did not believe God.
Okay so let's compare them to us. Our being saved is the equivalent of leaving bondage in Egypt. I compare the promises God made to them, to the promises God made to us when we were saved. We have to take our promises too, only we do it by faith and the knowledge of Jesus. Just like them we have to take God's word for it and do it. As you can see so far there are some pretty good parallels between then and now.
Just a few more examples for you to think about. Jesus taught using parables in many cases. If you read the parables and think about each one the way, Jesus explained them, you can easily put yourself into each one of them. Believe me, if you open your heart to the Holy Spirit and ask Him He will bring understanding to you and at that point it will be really easy to see yourself, I know it was for me.
Just a couple of the parables that you may want to take a look at and see for yourself. You have the wise and foolish builders in Matthew 7:24 – 27, and the parable of the sower in Matthew 13:3 to 23.
There are many more, but these will give you the idea of what I'm talking about. If you think about everything in this message with an open mind, even if you aren't saved yet, I think you'll agree, the word is just as relevant today as it was then. There are so many easy comparisons, that I believe it would be hard argue otherwise. Have a very blessed day. Praise the Lord!

God's Idea of Prayer
It Is Written, Matthew 6:7, when you pray, do not use vain repetition as the heathen do. For they think that they will be heard for their many words.
This verse can best be explained as God prefers quality not quantity. Prayer is powerful communication from us to God. He prefers a few words from a sincere loving heart, rather than thoughtless words. This is a father, child conversation.
We can pray for anything that is in keeping with God's word, and expect it to be answered. He hears all sincere prayer, and answers. I believe that God has the idea from what I have read, that the most powerful prayer is when we pray for someone else. When you sincerely pray for someone else, you are fulfilling God's command to love one another. This doesn't mean you shouldn't pray for yourself.
In God's system it is simple. You pray for other people. Other people pray for you. You are blessing others, it is pleasing to God, and you are being blessed. So if you don't pray for yourself, don't be concerned about it, because there are other people praying for you .
As I said before there is nothing you cannot pray for. But be advised, it cannot conflict with God's word. Prayers are powerful. Pray for family, friends, strangers, those running our government, other governments, peace in the world, and anything else you can think of. If enough people pray, prayer can change anything. Have a blessed day. Praise the Lord!

Our Home Is in Heaven
It Is Written, Matthew 5:12, rejoice and be exceedingly glad, for great is your reward in heaven, for so they persecuted the prophets who were before you.
Most of us have not grasped the idea of heaven and what it is like, or how long eternity is for that matter. Since we have nothing to compare it to, we have a difficult time. People are visual, and unless they see something, it is very difficult to imagine what something is really like, if it is out of the ordinary.
Just as hard as it is to visualize the glory of heaven, the horrors of hell cannot be visualized either. In this message however we will concern ourselves with heaven.
I think we need to start out with the basic fact that God is in heaven. He is our father and loves us beyond what we can understand. He created us with the idea that we would spend eternity with Him. With these facts, we can paint a partial picture of heaven.
God is there, so we won't have to be concerned with sin, violence, sickness, sadness, and all of the other problems that this broken world that we currently live in confronts us with.
I believe that since Jesus will be totally accessible to us, we can see Him anytime we want. Maybe have coffee with Him in the morning, or just talk. If we want to, we can give Him a hug and He will probably hug us back, only hugs in heaven will be much better than hugs here on earth.
Since heaven is filled with the glory of God, we will be filled with it too. Our joy will be beyond measure. As far as the rest of it, I believe it will be a new kind of total excitement and joy. I cannot even speculate on anything else.
All of the people that say they visited heaven, or heavenly beings visited them, paint pretty much the same picture. They don't say much, and what they do say is pretty much like each other. I'm not saying they didn't visit heaven or have a vision or a dream. Regardless of what it was, it is very comforting to many people. I wouldn't mind that kind of vision myself.
I take comfort in knowing God loves me. I know I was created to enjoy heaven with him for eternity, and I will be happy beyond measure. Join us. Your ticket to heaven is salvation through Jesus Christ. Have a blessed day. Praise the Lord!

Biblical Hope
It Is Written, Psalm 33:18, behold, the eye of the Lord is on those who fear Him, and those who hope in His mercy.
If you are familiar with the word Hope in an English dictionary, you know it is described as believing something may happen, or a desire for something to happen.
If you go to a concordance at the back of your Bible, and look at the word hope, you will find a number of verses dealing with hope. If you follow the English definition of hope, most of the verses you see will not be very comforting.
If you look at a Strongs Dictionary of Bible Words, you get a different perspective. You look up the word in English, and you get reference numbers to the Hebrew and Greek sections, with the meaning in English. Sometimes there are several meanings for the same word, and the context tells you which one applies.
Here is an example. Hope-the Hebrew and Greek meanings. Confident, sure, trust, wait patiently, assurance, expectation. Now look at the verse in it is written. I believe you will feel better about hope, in this and many other verses you read.
A few years ago, while listening to a preacher, I heard him define a word from the Greek which gave it an entirely exciting meaning in the context it was used. Shortly after that I heard a couple of other preachers refer to the Greek or original Hebrew. At that point I decided that the only way to get the true meaning out of a lot of the verses in the Bible, was to be able to look up the words in a biblical dictionary. The best thing I ever did. Well maybe not the best but close, the best was accepting Jesus as my Savior.
The power in the Greek and Hebrew words, makes quite a bit of what you read in the Bible exciting and powerful. It seems to open a whole new world in Bible reading. Check one out online or maybe at the library, and I think you'll see what I mean. In the meantime have a blessed day. Praise the Lord!

Are You Willing?
It Is Written, Isaiah 1:19, if you are willing and obedient, you shall eat the good of the land.
I have read Isaiah at least a dozen times, and never really paid attention to this verse. I think a lot of us just think about verses that are familiar to us, and kind of ignore the rest. Some of us ignore the Old Testament itself, because in our minds it is not relevant to today, or it is too difficult or boring in many places.
I found out how much I was missing by accident. Instead of reading five or six verses, scratching your head, and saying what is that all about, go back and read and think about each verse. The Old Testament is not just directed at the ancient Hebrews, it applies to us too, if we open our hearts and let the Holy Spirit reveal it to us.
For instance, today's verse. You can come up with all kinds of situations that apply, if you listen. I'll just mention a couple of things that I thought of for starters.
Let us assume this verse is not about food. Food in this case can mean any good thing. Suppose you are out of a job. You ask God to help you find a job. Most of us realize that now we must go out and look for a job.
Before you go to an interview, ask the Holy Spirit to guide you, and give you wisdom. Then listen to His voice, and keep your mind open. God may lead you to a lesser job for right now, that in fact is training for a much better job later. He knows the plan for you, and He will get you to where you are supposed to be, but you must be willing to do it His way.
If we want what is best in our lives for us and our families, we must do that God's way too. It really doesn't make any sense to ask God for help for anything, and then do it our way. We must be willing, have faith, and trust in Him.
Remember this. Paul was the number one persecutor of Christians. He didn't just wake up one morning and say "I think I'll start being a Christian today". Paul was not doing what God's plan was for him. God woke him up on the road to Damascus. Paul then started his training a step at a time. Paul was willing to take the steps necessary, and became one of the greatest apostles in history, writing a major part of the New Testament.
You may not agree with my interpretation, but it works for me. Sometimes you need to meditate on a verse before it talks to you. Try it. Praise the Lord!

He knows the plan for you, and He will get you to where you are supposed to be, but you must be willing to do it His way.
If we want what is best in our lives for us and our families, we must do that God's way too. It really doesn't make any sense to ask God for help for anything, and then do it our way. We must be willing, have faith, and trust in Him.
Remember this. Paul was the number one persecutor of Christians. He didn't just wake up one morning and say "I think I'll start being a Christian today". Paul was not doing what God's plan was for him. God woke him up on the road to Damascus. Paul then started his training a step at a time. Paul was willing to take the steps necessary, and became one of the greatest apostles in history, writing a major part of the New Testament.
You may not agree with my interpretation, but it works for me. Sometimes you need to meditate on a verse before it talks to you. Try it. Praise the Lord!
Remember Jesus Loves You
Prayer of Salvation
Lord Jesus, I thank you for what you did on the cross for me. Your blood washed away all my sins, by your stripes I was healed, your death and resurrection brought me salvation. Please forgive my sins, and come into my heart as my personal Savior.
Thank You
Amen
