A Devotional Life

The knowledge of God's Word is very crucial to the Christian race. Proverbs 4:18; But the path of the just is as the shining light, that shineth more and more unto the perfect day. You cant afford to live today with the grace of yesterday, and postpone the glory of today to the next (John 4:34; 9:4; 17:22). Not so, because the kingdom business demands urgency; Yes, urgency. Psalms 17:4. Concerning the works of men, by the word of thy lips I have kept me from the paths of the destroyer. Which means we only overcome the devil by the authority hidden in the Word of God. Why hidden? ...because it has to be searched and applied rightly (2 Timothy 2:15) In fact Jesus knew this, that was why when the devil came [a couple of days after His (Jesus') baptism and public declaration as the Son of God (by the Father)], asking; 'if thou art the Son of God...', Jesus answered the devil it is written. And not; Weren't you there yesterday when God spoke out loud, I heard...

Galatians 5:25; If we live in the Spirit, let us also walk in the Spirit. (KJV). NIV translates "Since we live by the Spirit, let us keep in step with the Spirit", more like keep up, explore... Since we live in/by the Spirit..., that is by the dictates of the Spirit, in the realm of the Spirit. A good analogy of this, is a learner and the driving instructor (associated with Acts 17:28). The learner is registered to/assigned a driving instructor. ( live ) Since the learner has been assigned a driving instructor, he/she has to keep up with the instructor's command/drive by the instructor. ( move ) In the process of following the instructions, the learner becomes accustomed to a level or particular practice, and then it's time to move on to the next level. ( being ) We have The Spirit of God resident in the inside of us (1 Corinthians 3:16, 6:19), and this is a great privilege, so we have to walk by Him. Acts 17:28a; For in him we live, and move, and have our b...

I used to say to a friend; if you were the only one on earth, then that would be God's perfect purpose, and Jesus would have still come to redeem(die) for you. You are God's perfect purpose. Despite His majesty; He is meek and lowly, and despite our faithlessness; He is still faithful, In our darkest and hurting situations; He is ever near to love and cheer, Even when we feel the end of hope; He never refuses us the bliss of heaven Jesus knows all about our struggles; He will guide 'til the day is done: There's not a Friend like the lowly Jesus: No, not one! no, not one! What a friend we have in Jesus (John 15:13). What a loving Father, God is; He that spared not His own Son, but delivered him up for us all, how shall He not with him also freely give us all things? - Romans 8:32. Only Jesus makes the difference, only Him and no other. Find rest in Him today (Matthew 11:28). Remain forever blessed.

I have always thought that the scripture in 2 Corinthians 13:14 was a conclusive part of a prayer (or a fellowship),  partly because of how and when it is used in a gathering (which is at the end of meetings). So the idea is; when the scripture is quoted, then the meeting is come to an end (y'all can now open your eyes; prayer-time is over :). A probably tolerable reason to think this, is where the scripture is located; at the end of Paul's letter to the Corinthians. Actually, 2 Corinthians 13:14 is the only single verse (I observed) in the bible that references the unique blessing and benefits of the Blessed Trinity (One God in three divine persons) to a Christian. That makes me think; Paul was prophetically praying deep revelation into the lives of the Christians at Corinth. 2 Corinthians 13:14; "The grace of the Lord Jesus Christ, and the love of God, and the communion of the Holy Ghost, be with you all. Amen." Wow this is mind blowing. This reminds me of D...
