Hi Line Ministries: Godly wisdom for daily living!

Unlike a general prayer, the prayer of petition or supplication is a prayer in which you are very specific about what You desire. As a believer in the Lord Jesus Christ, it is okay to petition God for something specific, as long as you have a submissive heart that says, "Not my will Lord but Yours be done."

If we are saved by Grace through faith, what purpose then does the Law serve?

Things we can do in our prayer life to keep it from being boring.

Galatians 3:17-18 17 And this I say, that the law, which was 430 years later, cannot annul the covenant that was confirmed before by God in Christ, that it should make the promise of no effect. 18 For if the inheritance is of the law, it is no longer of promise; but God gave it to Abraham by promise.   God made promises to Abraham. The obligation to fulfill those promises we’re not Abraham’s, but...

Sometimes the problem with general prayer is we pray "the same old things about the same old things."  When praying is boring then we don't feel like praying. And, if we don't feel like praying it's hard to make ourselves pray because it's hard to do something you don't feel like doing.

"Now to Abraham and his Seed were the promises made. He does not say, "And to seeds," as of many, but as of one, "And to your Seed," who is Christ.

Satan will attack you where your identity is concerned, because he knows often times, we can have a poor Identity of ourselves. Our identity is so important that when Jesus was tempted of Satan one of Satan’s tactics was to attack Jesus’s identity “ If you be the son of god.” (Matthew 4:1-6)

The great exchange! Christ gave us something, and He took something in return; but what Christ took from us was not anything we wanted.

Abraham was the first Jew. But he was not born a Jew, nor did he become one by circumcision of the flesh.  Instead, he was circumcised after he believed as a sign of his covenant relationship with God. The first Jew, then, was a heathen who one day exercised faith in God and from that day forth was acceptable to God by his faith.

Praise brings the presence of God into a situation; worship brings you into the presence of God. 

There are six major types of prayer, each one of these types of prayer can be very beneficial to us when used in the right manner.

In the Old Testament, people were saved by grace through faith in the future work of Christ on the cross . In the New Testament, after resurrection of the Lord Jesus Christ, people are saved by grace through faith in the finished work of Christ on the Cross.

"Sing like no one's listening, show love like you've never been hurt, dance like nobody's watching and live like it's heaven on earth." (Anonymous) However it is said, life can be full of a lot of struggles and problems; It's the daily struggles and problems adding up that create a lot of anxieties, worries and stress for us. There are things we can do in life th...

Galatians 3:4 Have you suffered so many things in vail - if indeed it was in vain?  Often times Christians do not understand the connection between faith and persecution.

John Wayne once said, "life is tough, but it's tougher when you're stupid."  However it is said, life can be full of a lot of struggles and issues and these struggles and issues can create a lot of anxieties, worries and stress for us.  Is there something we can do so that we do not get soured on life and in that process sour others we come in contact with?  The answer to that...

The Apostle Paul is trying to teach the Galatians to never again be deceived into trying to attain something by their own efforts that God had already given them by His Grace.

Not whether we can see 20/20 or where we envision ourselves in 5 or 10 years but what are we seeing on a day-to-day basis.  Our natural senses will cause us to only see and consider the existing conditions and leave us trapped within the confines of what is humanly possible.

Galatians 2:14" (MSG) "If you, a Jew, live like non-gentiles when you're not being observed by the watch dogs from Jerusalem, what right do you have to require non-Jews to conform to Jewish Customs just to make a favorable impression on your old Jerusalem buddies?"

The Bible is also known as the Word of God, the Holy Scriptures, the Good Book, a Treatise, the Holy Writ, the Living Word, and an anthology.  It's power, influence and endurance is unmatched by anything!  The Bible is not just a collection of writings from a group of authors like Chaucer, Shakespeare, Longfellow, Dickens, Sir Arthur Conan Doyle, and Louisa May Alcott but it is handbook for l...

"The Law".  (NLT) "The old system under the law of Moses was only a shadow, a dim preview of the good things to come, not the good things themselves. The sacrifices under that system were repeated again and again, year after year, but they were never able to provide perfect cleansing for those who came to worship."

The way God designed our bodies is a model for understanding our lives together as a church: every part dependent on every other part, the parts we mention and the parts we don’t, the parts we see and the parts we don’t. If one part hurts, every other part is involved in the hurt, and in the healing. If one-part flourishes, every other part enters into the exuberance. (1 Corinthians 12:25-26

"lest, by any means I might run, or had run, in vain."  

If we're not careful, we will assume that just because someone goes to church, and they are a good person in the community that they are Christian; that may not be the case!  

Immediately he preached the Christ in the synagogues, that He is the Son of God. (1 Cor 2:2) For I determined not to know anything among you except Jesus Christ and Him crucified.   

"...Love my neighbor as myself."  In dealing with others, we can either be controlled by our emotions or we can be led by the Holy Spirit.
