Guard Your Heart

"Guard Your Heart"

Proverbs 4:20-27
(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.
(23)  Guard your heart above all else, for it determines the course of your life.
(24)  Avoid all perverse talk; stay away from corrupt speech.
(25)  Look straight ahead, and fix your eyes on what lies before you.
(26)  Mark out a straight path for your feet; stay on the safe path.
(27)  Don't get sidetracked; keep your feet from following evil.

We Have This Confidence

"we have this confidence..."

1 John 3:20-22  For if our heart condemn us, God is greater than our heart, and knoweth all things.  (21)  Beloved, if our heart condemn us not, then have we confidence toward God.  (22)  And whatsoever we ask, we receive of him, because we keep his commandments, and do those things that are pleasing in his sight.

1 John 5:14-15  And this is the confidence that we have in him, that, if we ask any thing according to his will, he heareth us:  (15)  And if we know that he hear us, whatsoever we ask, we know that we have the petitions that we desired of him.

No Soldier

Last week it was "entangled"; today it was "no soldier".

No soldier in active service entangles himself in the affairs of everyday life, so that he may please the one who enlisted him as a soldier. - 2 Timothy 2:4

Truth

Excerpt from Divine Healing Technician Training Manual 030106a, pg 64:

"The most frustrating position in which Christians that believe in
divine healing can find themselves, 
is to know that God can heal,
that God does heal 
and that He will heal the sick, 
and to know the
“A, B, C’s” of divine healing ministry: availability, boldness, and
compassion, 
and yet still not be used of God to heal the sick."

This Is That

"This is that" 
reference Acts 2:16 which is when Peter references Joel 2 where God said He would pour out His Spirit on All people

Reference the widow's supply to Elijah that never ran out (see here)

Watch out for the counsel of the ungodly (Psalm 1:1)

"That all alone feeling, a famine in the land... all too familiar...

...1 Kings 17- Elijah!

There is something about the widow woman that really strikes a chord with me, but it is something for the future; I don't know what it is, just that it means something for later.

A famine in the land, living on morsels, wandering through a wasteland, lonely, and a need for the "dead" to rise; interesting..."

All that was from May 26, 2013. Six months later, there was a death. That was followed by living on morsels, a famine, and loneliness. All this has been brought to my remembrance.

So, 6 months from now, I can expect "that", but until then, the supply will not run out and I should mind the counsel that I accept.
