My Utmost for His Highest. "Lord, I will follow Thee; but . . ." Luke 9:61 Supposing God tells you to do something which is an enormous test to your common sense, what are you going to do? Hang back? If you get into the habit of doing a thing in the physical domain, you will do it every time until you break the habit determinedly; and the same is true spiritually. Read More...

The Answer For Evil. The fool hath said in his heart, There is no God. Corrupt are they, and have done abominable iniquity: there is none that doeth good. (Psalm 53:1)

How it was that 60 million perished following the Bolshevik revolution? 'Men have forgotten God' - that's why all this happened. All attempts to find a way out of the plight of today's world are fruitless unless we redirect our consciousness, in repentance, to the Creator of all: Without this, no exit will be illumined, and we shall seek it in vain." - Alexander Solzhenitsyn

Associate Pastor Wayne DurdenSo Samuel said:  “Has the LORD as great delight in burnt offerings and sacrifices, As in obeying the voice of the LORD? Behold, to obey is better than sacrifice, And to heed than the fat of rams.  For rebellion is as the sin of witchcraft, And stubbornness is as iniquity and idolatry.  Because you have rejected the word of the LORD, He also has rejected you from being king.” (1 Samuel 15:22-23) But Peter and the other apostles answered and said: “We ought to obey God rather than men. (Acts 5:29)

It certainly goes without saying the day we live in is a tough day, a world of unrest in a lot of ways, but we must remember who is in control. It is  certainly not our government or any other agency, but God.

God help we Christians to live by and come under the authority of our God, Note! (2 Corinthians 10:4-6).  The bible teaches us that the child of God must live by Faith in God, not carnality.  The bible records the just shall live by faith, God promised to meet our needs, but we must look to Him and exercise the faith that God has given we believers.

When we read God's word we either go forward in faith or fail to reach our destiny, God's will is to meet our every need, How? According to His riches in glory by Christ Jesus.  We need to understand God is not running a welfare system there's some things we've got to do, for example God spoke to Simon Peter in (Matthew 17:27) to cast his hook into the water and the fish he caught would have the money in the fish's mouth to pay his temple tax, weird right, but it's in God's word.  Peter obeyed by faith, he could have said Lord, that's crazy.

Another example, Saul failed to live by faith, this among other things led to his rebelling against God.

God forbid that we'll let anything bound us that's not God's will.

Free In Christ, Pastor Durden
