Haven of truth:Anchored in His Word

Remember always that God has given us a free will to choose…I choose assurance over the false hope of insurance in all things because insurance will often times fail. Blessed assurance, Jesus is mine, oh what a foretaste of Glory devine. Heir of salvation, purchase of God. Born of His Spirit, washed in His blood. I Peter 5, Psalm 139:1-14, John 3: 16-22, Romans 8:38&39, Ephesians 3:16-19. Psalm 10...

The Holy Spirit is described in numerous locations throughout the scriptures as the Breath of God, a mighty wind and we find it so in the book of Acts. In the upper room on the day of Pentecost; they heard a sound that was like a rushing mighty wind. The Breath of God is in my lungs every day so shall the praise of Him be on my lips. Going out and coming in I will thank Him and praise Him. Mark 13...

Focusing on God is the import of our daily walk. He is our sovereign, but we are reminded in His Word that this is indeed a fallen world in which we live and that must not be forgotten. It is His truth and knowledge that leads us into wisdom and guidance of the Holy Spirit. This plain of existence is fallen because of the choices made of man, but we are also to share the truth and gospel of God to...

Be mindful that as we go through the day; thank God frequently. As we do this, the practice opens up to praying without ceasing, as we are reminded by the letters of Paul. Seriously intent to be able to pray without ceasing takes practice and being thankful in all things is the primary way to do this. As a TRUE believer and a TRUE Christian it is important to learn these things. Never forget that...

Luke 17: 11-19, Psalm 100; the instruction of how we are to give thanks unto God. Coming to His gates, entering His courts and in entering His sanctuary. David uses four of seven of the primary words of giving thanks(praise) in one passage. Practice His presence daily and regularly throughout the day.

It is seemingly impossible to be thankful in the midst of difficult situations. Remember that there is the blessed assurance of God our Heavenly Father that He is with us no matter what, no matter where. When we read the scripture that tells us that God is with us withersoever we goest…that is NOT speaking geographically or topographically; it speaks to His being with us through all aspects of our...

No amount of insurance can be purchased by us: thankfully the ASSURANCE of God our Heavenly Father is all that we need in that His love shared through Christ Jesus, giving us the opportunity to be heirs and joint heirs with Him in the Kingdom of Heaven. Isaiah I:2-4, 9-13, 2:5-8, 8:19&20, 9:8, 35:1-7, 40:39, 41:10, 42:1-7, Romans 8:38&39, I Corinthians 3:11, Psalm 4:7&8. His blessed assurance. His...

Insurance and assurance are not synonymous but use. We are given blessed assurances by God in the Word and these are found throughout the scriptures. Seek His truths, His knowledge and wisdom in all things. Matthew 5:11&12, 16:24, Romans 8:16, John 10:27-29, Romans 8:38&39, Luke 6:26

A third part to the thankfulness we need to keep in our hearts toward God our Heavenly Father. Thankful, prayerful, worshipful and this will open the windows of heaven so that God will our out His blessings onto those that love Him; this from His infinite resources. The never-ending love that He has for us, His children and joint heirs in the Kingdom of Heaven along with Christ Jesus, as He promis...

Be thankful for all the Lord provides and in all things give thanks.

God blesses us mightily and we indeed have so much to be thankful for. Sometimes it takes practice to be thankful in all things and for some it is easier. Paul reminded the church at Ephesus; do it like me, follow my example. Not at all as a braggart, but in truth. Always in truth as taught by the Holy Spirit and the very reason Saul was chosen of Christ, because he would be always truthful. Prove...

He is indeed all knowing and fully aware of us, our needs and our ills. The enemy wants us to focus not on Him, but on all else and what is going on around us. Like Paul on his way to Rome by ship and the storm; the maelstrom that will come in our lives. Most importantly is that our Heavenly Father is fully aware and is with us always and He is omnipotent, all powerful. Matthew 16:1-12, Luke 24:44...

Learn to bear content as a simple sheep. With all the voices that vie for your attention; don’t pray like that, pray like this, worship this way, don’t worship that way; worship this deity and it’s okay to walk contrary to the Word of God, there’s no reason to bother asking for forgiveness because there’s nothing to be forgiven for. Hmmm…The Good Shepherd will lead you and guide you to green pastu...

The many voices that constantly tell us how to worship God or how to pray according to THEIR way. Well, know this; that God is NOT the author of confusion and there is only one way to worship God and show Him our love. That is with all our heart, soul and our mind; TOGETHER in unity and not separately. Pray for one another and all this petty bickering that ensues because of denominations is pretty...

Are your wicks trimmed and the oil supply good? What is meant when God’s word speaks of that? With wicks trimmed the light will be brighter from the lamp and no smoke or pollutants. The oil supply so that the lamp will be ready all the time. How is YOUR oil? Is the spirit of truth abundant in you? Are you learning to be in fellowship with one another and know in truth that denominations mean nothi...

As we see in the Word of God and following the rule of faith; going into the second writing of the Kings we find the provision of our Lord God. Elisha told the widow to obtain vessels and “not a few.” God provided for her. God is always with us and will not leave nor forsake us. Psalm 73: 23&24, 25:43&5, I Corinthians 13:12

Our adoption letter found in Romans 8, to gather as in Hebrews 10:24&25, walk in faith as in Hebrews 11. It is most assuredly the substance and our hope.

With all the things that are taking place in this world and its brokenness, remember that God is with us, for us and will not leave nor forsake us. Wear the full armor and hold His righteous right hand. The Holy Spirit walks with us, beside us. Luke 12:25, Psalm 89:15, John 16:33.

Remember that the enemy wants us not to see ourselves as God sees us. In believing the white noise and removing our focus on Yahweh our Heavenly Father, we allow ourselves to become weakened. God sees us clothed in His radiance and in His righteousness. The enemy does not want that in us. It frightens him actually. Psalm 34:5, II Corinthians 5:21, 3:18, Galatians 5:25, Isaiah 42:6, Romans 15:13.

A personal relationship is beyond just knowing about Christ our Lord, God in Heaven or the Holy Spirit. Draw in and listen to what the Holy Spirit will teach, have faith in God and practice His presence. Accept and believe that Christ Jesus came to this plain of existence in the flesh; He died for us to be able to be joint heirs with Him in the Kingdom of Heaven. Colossians 1:27, Isaiah 42:6, Nehe...

All have sinned and fall short of the glory of God; truthfully, not one of us deserve the gifts of God. The Kingdom of God is not about deserving at all, but rather about His love and grace. Simply thank our Heavenly Father, accept and He delights in our happiness and reception. When we are told that He will open the windows of heaven and pour out his blessings on those that love the Lord; nothing...

Count it a privilege that God chooses you to be about His business; not that he needs you, but CHOOSES you. Be guarded against the ramblings of that white noise the enemy puts into our minds; in that we would believe we are better than others and that our position is more important. Do not allow that arrogance to overflow into your actions toward others and remember that we have been given power a...

I Peter 2:9; we are chosen of God and for His purpose we are guided by the Holy Spirit in truth, knowledge and wisdom. So all would have an opportunity to be reconciled and be heirs, joint heirs in the kingdom of heaven. Yahweh Ahman!!

Practicing God’s presence is establishing time for Him and with Him. In the here and now because in the there and then, there will inevitably come something we allow to interfere and not give the sovereign Lord God the time of day with Him. Sound harsh, well the truth is sometimes like that. Do not put off time with God, practice His presence in earnest and remember, that in making time for Him, H...

Never forget and draw on the memory, His promise and His truth; He is with us always. Deuteronomy 31:6, Luke 12:22-25, II Corinthians 10:5, Deuteronomy 13:1-5, Daniel 10, I Timothy 4:1, II Timothy 1:7, Romans 8:15, Luke 24:49-53, Acts 1:8.
