Dear Friend,

Racism isn’t really a Bible word. The Scriptures don’t use it because from God’s perspective, racism isn’t a thing—it’s a spirit. It’s the spirit of division. It’s a work of the devil himself, and the demonic emissaries he sends out to do his divisionary work. By contrast, God’s work is peace, unity, harmony and joy (John 14:27; Romans 14:17). If you’ll follow love, the spirit of racism—which is the spirit of division—will never be able to take root in your life.

PRAYER - "Futile Prayer" 

Some prayers are just useless. If we offend God by our sins and do not resolve the problem through proper repentance, the lines of communication are down. The Lord will not withhold blessings from someone in good standing with Him, but "God is angry with the wicked every day," Psalm 7:11. It is a hard saying, but true. He essentially says, "The only prayer I want to hear right now is repentance." Fortunately, God quickly responds to true repentance.

Psalms 66:18 - "If I regard iniquity in my heart, the Lord will not hear me."

PRINCIPALS - "Sarai"

The story of Sarai vastly outweighs the story of Hagar, as the story of Isaac outweighs the story of Ishmael. This Biblical story is diabolically perverted by the Koran. All God's promises and dealings with Abraham hinged upon his having a child by Sarai, not Hagar! God's covenant with Abraham would descend through his proper child, Isaac, not the surrogate, Ishmael. 

Genesis 17:16 - "And I will bless her, and give thee a son also of her: yea, I will bless her, and she shall be a mother of nations; kings of people shall be of her."

 

PRINCIPLES - "Grace versus Works"

For 2,000 years, men have debated "grace" versus "works" in the salvation plan. Some love to accuse others of preaching salvation by works, while others hurl insinuations of "free grace" or "cheap grace". In the end, works cannot save us, but we cannot be saved without them. Faith without works is dead. You can't buy your salvation, but you can't get it free, either. Grace or not, God still wants us to live right.

James 4:17: "To do what is right and just is more acceptable to the LORD than sacrifice." 

PROPHECIES - "Hebron"

Hebron is 18 miles south of Jerusalem, second-most Jewish city on earth. The king of Hebron launched an offensive against Joshua, but lost. Joshua gave Hebron to Caleb. Abraham, Sarah, Isaac, Rebekah, Jacob and Leah are buried there. David ruled there. Today, 166,000 Palestinians and 700 Jews live there. That Israel is giving it away is outrageous! Jesus will recapture it at Armageddon.

Genesis 13:17,18 - "...walk through the land, ...for I will give it unto thee. Then Abram removed his tent, and came and dwelt in the plain of Mamre, which is in Hebron."

From Desperation to Devotion

Set your affection on things above, not on things on the earth.

– Colossians 3:2

Things, things, things! A better job. A bigger house. New clothes for the kids. Tomorrow’s luncheon date. A better television. Get the picture?

Many of us have learned to believe God to prosper us to such a degree that we have too much to keep up with. We end up spending so much time and energy taking care of the legitimate “things” of life that we unconsciously give the attention and affections of our heart over to this natural world instead of to God.

When WE first heard about living by faith, we were in desperate circumstances. We were sick and broke, so it was easy for us to dedicate ourselves to prayer and to the Word. But as we honored God’s Word, He honored and prospered us. We came to the place where we were no longer desperate. Then came the real test of our faith. Would we serve God out of our love for Him instead of our desperation?

Well, praise God, we did. But in the process we found out one thing: It takes a lot more dedication to serve God when you’re prosperous than it takes when you’re desperate! There’s a constant temptation to get so caught up in the earthly things that your desire for the things of God fades into the background.

As the material blessings of God come your way, remember, God has not trained you in His Word so you can consume it on your own lusts. He has revealed His Word to you so you can walk in the spirit and do the job He’s called you to do.

Don’t let the things of this world cause you to miss out on the glorious things of the spirit. Get your priorities in line with God’s Word. Set your mind on things above, and you’ll discover just how heavenly life was really meant to be.
