Hi Line Ministries: Godly wisdom for daily living!

It brings life. Proverbs 4: 20-22 (NLT) 20 My child, pay attention to what I say. Listen carefully to my words.  21 Don't lose sight of them. Let them penetrate deep into your heart, 22 for they bring life to those who find them and healing to their whole body. There are two types of life: our physical being as we live down here on earth and eternal life.

Binding and loosing has to do with forbidding or permitting. To forbid or permit something means the individual doing the forbidding or permitting has been given the authority to do so.

The importance of knowing the Word; not just any word the Word of God.  It increases our faith, it is the first step in having our prayers answered.

What did Jesus mean when He said, "whatever you bind on earth will be bound in heaven and whatever you loose on earth will be loose in heaven?"

There are approximately 15,000 self-help books published in the United States each year. The words in these self-help articles, whether on paper or recordings have no power in and of themselves. Not so with the Word of God!

Faith and its cooperating forces: Knowledge, corresponding action, patience, and love. The first three words of 1 Corinthians 13:8 are "Love never fails".  When we respond in love to people, even those who don't deserve it, that love will never fail!  We have God's Word on that!

The enemy, Satan, and many liberal pundits would like you to believe the Bible isn't relevant for today; but this book that some people say is not relevant in today's society is not only the best seller on the "New York Times" bestseller list but also around the world!

What happens when a leg breaks on one of your tables?

Amid the chaos and seemingly unnecessary pain in this fallen world, God has always been and always will be good!

Patience doesn't surrender to circumstances or succumb come under trial. Patience is courage under fire.  Patience answers every doubt and fear with the assurance of God's Word.

As a Born-Again Believer, you have residing inside of you Third Person of the Trinity, the Holy Spirit. The Bible is very specific about what the Holy Spirit will do for us as believers.

Hebrews 6:12 "that you do not become lazy but imitate those who through faith and patience inherit the promises." The word patience used in this verse is only used one other time in the New Testament in James 5:10 and it means "to be long-tempered."

One of the most important steps that you can take in allowing God to speak to you is that you believe, have faith, that God wants to speak to you!

James 2:26 For as the body without the spirit is dead, so faith without works is dead also.  The body needs the spirit and the spirit needs the body.  Faith needs works (the corresponding actions) and works needs faith.     

God loves us so much that He will try to communicate with us in any way we will let Him; With Moses it was a burning bush, with Jonah it was a big fish, with Balaam it was his donkey.  But we can unknowingly shut God out when we don't believe He wants to talk to us.

Faith & its cooperating forces: today "works"

If you get your opinion about God strictly from reading the Old Testament your opinion will not be one that invites you into a close relationship with Him.

I can already hear one of you agreeing by saying, “Sounds good. You take care of the faith department, I’ll handle the works department.” Not so fast. You can no more show me your works apart from your faith than I can show you my faith apart from my works. Faith and works, works and faith, fit together hand in glove. (James 2:18 MSG)  It may seem like James is contradicting Paul's teaching o...

No matter what our occupation or status is in life, God is desirous to talk with us, to give us direction and counsel.  What are some of the different ways God speaks to us; when I do hear something how can I know whether it's of God or not?

Faith never stands alone it always has cooperating forces.

God created us for fellowship with Him and with each other.  We see this from The Book of Genesis with Adam and Eve fellowshipping with God through the Book of Revelation where we as believers in the Lord Jesus Christ, because of God's provision, will for eternity get to fellowship with our Heavenly Father, the Lord Jesus Christ and one another, without the hindrance of Satan.

Cooperating force #1 (not in order of importance) Knowledge :  We can't have faith in something we don't know about.

The Bible lists 9761 times where "God said", "God spoke," "The Lord spoke", or the "Lord said."  That doesn't sound to me like a God who is silent or doesn't want to talk with us.

Faith; believing with someone says because of their integrity, ability and authority without the need of any other evidence.  

Peace is a condition of the mind that affects the emotions, it is not a feeling brought on by external conditions or happenings. God's kind of peace is an inward stability, and an inward assurance in the willingness and ability of God to act on your behalf for your best interests.
