Colossians 3:15-16

¹⁵ And let the peace of God rule in your hearts, to which also you were called in one body; and be thankful. ¹⁶ Let the word of Christ dwell in you richly in all wisdom, teaching and admonishing one another in psalms and hymns and spiritual songs, singing with grace in your hearts to the Lord.

Living the life with God will cause total peace to rein (and rain) in your life. This is but one benefit of the whole sozo package!

Isaiah 55:8-9

“For My thoughts are not your thoughts, nor are your ways My ways,” says the LORD. “For as the heavens are higher than the earth, so are My ways higher than your ways, and My thoughts than your thoughts.”

This scripture basically states that God does not do things the way we would do things or think things should be done. That doesn't mean we won't understand it after He does it, just that we need to let Him do it!

What are your thoughts? (literally.)

Weekly Scripture: September 13-19, 2010

Romans 5:5

“Now hope does not disappoint, because the love of God has been poured out in our hearts by the Holy Spirit who was given to us.”

 Let's not forget that God already sent Jesus to the earth to teach us, set an example for us to follow, and to suffer and die for our sins! He was resurrected and now sits at the right hand of the Father. He has already poured out His love once and continues to do so. Let's not resist or turn away from the Holy Spirit, for He only has good to give us! He does not harm us, but rather is our Helper.

Here's another interactive posting.

When you fall short of something or fail to perform as you should (as with me and this weekly posting! :-(, let's not forget that even though we may fail on occasion, but God does not. 1 Kings 8:56 states, “Blessed be the LORD, who has given rest to His people Israel, according to all that He promised. There has not failed one word of all His good promise, which He promised through His servant Moses.” How much more will God keep his Word for us!

So, what do you do when you fail?

Weekly Scripture: August 16-29, 2010

Genesis 1:29

 ²⁹ And God said, “See, I have given you every herb that yields seed which is on the face of all the earth, and every tree whose fruit yields seed...”

 And

Genesis 8:22

“While the earth remains,seedtime and harvest...Shall not cease.”

God's law, once in effect, does not change. Seeds are planted, time passes (growing period), then the harvest is ready. All seeds will sprout and grow, good and bad. What seeds are you sowing? And you ARE sowing seeds whether or not you understand it. You sow hatred, you will reap hatred. You sow lust, you will reap lust. You sow finances, you will reap finances, You sow love, you will reap love. Again, what are you sowing? Remember that God multiplies the seed some 30, some 60, and some 100 fold! Your return is great, both good AND bad!

Weekly Scripture: August 2-15, 2010

Genesis 1:28
(This is a two part scripture of the week, this week:)

“...God said to them [male and female], ...have dominion over the fish of the sea, over the birds of the air, and over every living thing that moves on the earth.” 

As children of God, he gave us the right of dominion (authority) of all things in the earth. Yet, too many times we let all the things in the earth (including Satan and his demons) rule over us! Stand up and take the authority God has already given us and cut loose the bonds that are trying to bind you up!

Weekly Scripture: July 26-August 1, 2010

Revelation 4:8

The four living creatures, each having six wings, were full of eyes around and within. And they do not rest day or night, saying:
      “Holy, holy, holy,
      Lord God Almighty,
      Who was and is and is to come!”

Do not be scared about reading the book of Revelation. For the believer, this is the fruit of our faith walk!!
