PRAYER - "Put Away Evil Speaking, Bitterness, Wrath, Malice"
You do not have to pray to be talking to God. God hears even your daily conversations, so if your conversation betrays your prayers, be warned. "Every idle word that men shall speak, they shall give account thereof in the day of judgment," Matthew 12:36. Our future is, in large part, determined by the things we say. Bad attitudes corrupt our speech. Bitterness, wrath, anger, clamour, and malice poison our words. Sanctified hearts produce sanctified words.
Ephesians 4:31 - "Let all bitterness, and wrath, and anger, and clamour, and evil speaking, be put away from you, with all malice."
PRINCIPAL - "The Life Of Jesus - Treasure In Earthen Vessels"
"We have this treasure in earthen vessels." The weak, suffering human vessel adds nothing to the treasure, but the treasure - the life of Jesus - gives us eternal life. "We are troubled ...yet not distressed; ...perplexed, but not in despair; Persecuted, but not forsaken; cast down, but not destroyed; Always bearing about in the body the dying of the Lord Jesus, that the life also of Jesus might be made manifest in our body."
2 Corinthians 4:11 - "We which live are alway delivered unto death for Jesus' sake, that the life also of Jesus might be made manifest in our mortal flesh."
PRINCIPLE - "Our Gospel Is Hid To Those Who Are Lost"
An unbelieving mind is Satan's playground. "If our gospel be hid, it is hid to them that are lost: In whom the god of this world hath blinded the minds of them which believe not, lest the light of the glorious gospel of Christ, who is the image of God, should shine unto them." Believe the Gospel, and truth will appear with great clearness!
2 Corinthians 4:6 - "God, who commanded the light to shine out of darkness, hath shined in our hearts, to give the light of the knowledge of the glory of God in the face of Jesus Christ."
PROPHECY - "Our Light Affliction Works An Eternal Weight In Glory"
No matter how great the hardships a child of God must endure, the grace of God will "redound (super-abundantly compensate for those afflictions) to the glory of God." "Though our outward man perish, yet the inward man is renewed day by day. For our light affliction, which is but for a moment, worketh for us a far more exceeding and eternal weight of glory." Your eternal rewards in His majestic Kingdom will infinitely exceed everything you have ever suffered for Him.
2 Corinthians 4:18 - "For the things which are seen are temporal; but the things which are not seen are eternal."

Great word. So many times people watch others fall but instead of lifting them up or helping them, they continue to watch them fall, they cut them down with their words and actions. This is why the church is losing so many people today, there is no unity and no one is willing to get together to develop the unity that is needed for growth. This is what I think of when I hear the word Malice.
ReplyDeleteAmen!
ReplyDeleteThis is truly a "AWESOME WORD OF GOD," that is needed in this day & hour, that all who truly follow our Lord & Saviour Jesus Christ needs 2 hear & be reminded of.
I agree with Heather, that a lot of our Churchs have indeed lost the UNITY within their members & HOLINESS, in this day & hour.
Yet it was FORETOLD, in the Bible in GOD'S word, that these things would occur.
Not all that sit within the House of our Lord, will make it, in the end times.
For if your NOT on "FIRE" 4 the Lord, u will NOT make it, 4 u will NOT be able 2 with STAND, the things of the WORLD.
This WHY it says, in GOD’S word, that if u are lukewarm, HE will spew u OUT of HIS mouth.
In other WORDS, HE will REJECT u, as 2 say, I know u NOT!
An 4 those that are lukewarm, cold & backslitten, they are NO long in GOD'S will.
4 they will need, 2 turn away from their SIN & REPENT with a SINCERE heart & return 2 the Lord COMPLETELY, in order 4 the Lord 2 SAVE them.
They best PRAY, that the DOOR of the Lord, hasn't been SHUT 4ever more.
4 there will be a DAY, when GOD'S DOOR will be SHUT, unto the WORLD 4ever more.
So it's IMPORTANT, 2 stay on FIRE 4 the Lord always & keep praying, fasting, reading GOD'S word & going 2 the house of the LORD.
An continue 2 WITNESS, 2 those around u, about the Lord, that they 2 will NOT be LOST.
4 those that continue 2 follow the Lord, stand fast & remain alert & aware & prepared 4 the days ahead & fear NOT.
TRUST in the Lord your GOD & seek HIM, in ALL things.
God bless u & thank u Bro. Ashcraft 4 such a well needed reminder.
Sincerely, Monica
