Psalm 143:8 Am I being fear-led or Spirit-led? Am I praying my will or God’s will?
Centered in Jesus
We are meant to be infused with the blood of Jesus and the teachings of Him.
Matthew 24:1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10 It is easy to be deceived. “Even when everything changes dramatically, even if your place of worship is destroyed, don’t be troubled.”
John 14:20 This is a relationship that is soaked and infused from the inside out with God.
Revelation 5:6 “Everywhere I looked I saw the Lamb. It was present. The throne and Christ are one.”
No man is an island, Entire of itself; Every man is a piece of the continent, A part of the main. If a clod be washed away by the sea, Europe is the less, As well as if a promontory were: As well as if a manor of thy friend's Or of thine own were. Any man's death diminishes me, Because I am involved in mankind. And therefore never send to know for whom the bell tolls; It tolls for thee. John Donne (1572 - 1631)
We are meant to be connected, even in our differences. Someone else’s demise should not be celebrated.
2 Corinthians 2:11 Satan has devices. He is the ultimate enemy, not others.
Revelation 12:10 Cast down the accuser.
James 4:7,8 Draw nigh to God. Satan will flee.
Mark 12:13,14,15,16,17 Jesus was focused on the Kingdom of Heaven. He wasn’t distracted or divided from his mission. Don’t leave the Kingdom of Light (react) to save someone in darkness.
Romans 12:19,20,21 Be removed from anger and malice. Vengeance is the Lord's.
2 Corinthians 5:7 The world asks me to walk by sight. At times my visual landscape can cause me to want to react in a carnal way. Sometimes sight is true. Scripture says don’t walk by sight even though it may be true. When I am silent, the Holy Spirit speaks. Jesus was accused, but he was silent to allow the Holy Spirit to convict.
Help me to walk by faith and not by sight.
