Not by Visions and Dreams

Jan 3 2009


In our day, God Almighty no longer comes to us by vision and dreams, but by words. Before a person knows Christ, these words are darkness and clouds. After coming into His presence, the are the light of the world. It is as the Apostle said, the word of God is foolishness to the natural man, but to he who is spiritually discerned, they are life. Do not seek for yourself the extraordinary miracles, but take for yourself the Word of God because it is by a word that we came into being.

I Must "Go Out" With Conviction

Jan 2, 2009

Trusting in God is one of the most difficult things to do because He does not tell you what He will do. What He does do is reveal Himself to you so that I go out with confidence and dependence on what He will do. This likens itself when the 12 disciples were sent out by Jesus without spare provision or ever a change of clothes. It is like the children of Israel starting their trek to Egypt without a spare pair of shoes. In the same way we must go out in the name of Jesus, trusting in Him to meet our every need.

My Best for His Glory

Do not think that giving my best for Christ's glory is either easy or natural. Our inbred individualism and self-centeredness can easily last a life time. You may be a Christian and will go to heaven but in heaven will you be satisfied to know that the life you led was not all about Christ alone? While salvation is a free gift of God, being close to Him requires much effort. Therefore set aside all earthly matters and yield to Christ who is our source of life.
