315. If You Love God, Keep His Commandments

John 14-17

He that hath my commandments, and keepeth them, he it is that loveth me: and he that loveth me shall be loved of my Father, and I will love him, and will manifest myself to him.   John 14:21

There is one thing that you can do to prove your love for Jesus. You must keep His commandments. But if you keep His commandments thereby proving your  love for Him, you will also be loved by God the Father and by Jesus and not only that, but Jesus will manifest Himself to you! You will learn more about your Savior and who He is if you keep His commandments. You will have a deeper understanding of Jesus and develop a closer relationship with Him but not because you try to find out but because He will manifest Himself to you! Will you show your love for God by keeping His commandments?

209. Be Still And Know That He Is God

2 Kings 19, Psalm 46,80,135 Be still, and know that I am God: I will be exalted among the heathen, I will be exalted in the earth.   Psalm 46:10 Are you stressed or in a hurry to see God work in the world around you? Do you get frustrated with the wickedness that goes on seemingly without punishment or without God noticing? Do you tell God what He should do and when? God will accomplish His will, in His time. You need to be patient and focus on what it is God wants you to do in your own life instead of trying to fix the world around you. This verse says to be still and to know that He is God. If you don't acknowledge that God is the God in your life and take the time to be still and get to know Him, how can you tell others about Him? How can you share about someone that you don't know? How can you convince others to surrender their life in salvation to someone you won't submit to in obedience? It is when you focus on your own life and walk with God that He can be best e...

189. God Will Prosper Those Who Seek Him

2 Kings 15, 2 Chronicles 26 And he did that which was right in the sight of the LORD, according to all that his father Amaziah did.     And he sought God in the days of Zechariah, who had understanding in the visions of God: and as long as he sought the LORD, God made him to prosper.   2 Chronicles 26:4-5 Do you want to prosper? So many people turn to money, jobs, and anything they can to become prosperous. But they also have a different definition of what prospering is. What do you think of as being prosperous? Is being prosperous having plenty of money? Or having lots of things? Is it in having a lot of friends or being held in high esteem by those around you? According to the Strongs Concordance, to prosper is to push forward. And the only reason to be prosperous or push forward is God. What would it take for God to make you prosperous? If you follow the example of Uzziah, you need to seek the Lord. If you seek the Lord, He will be found and He will ...

314. Jesus Prays For You

Luke 22, John 13 And the Lord said, Simon, Simon, behold, Satan hath desired to have you, that he may sift you as wheat:   But I have prayed for thee, that thy faith fail not: and when thou art converted, strengthen thy brethren.   Luke 22:31-32 As with Peter, so Satan desires to distract and destroy you so that you will be useless for God and eventually deny Him. The temptation is sometimes very great to deny Christ in order to avoid mocking or ridicule, or persecution of any kind. Or just not to be thought of as weird or strange. But, just as Jesus prayed for Peter, so also He prays for us. In John chapter seventeen is one of the prayers that Jesus prayed for His disciples and the people then, but also for all who trust Him as Savior. Though you may fight against principalities and powers and the temptation to give in and walk away may at times be great, you have Jesus who is praying for you and has made a way to escape so that you can bear it and come through ...
