His Love

“The LORD your God is with you, he is mighty to save. He will take great delight in you, he will quiet you with his love, he will rejoice over you with singing.”  Zephaniah 3:17

Don’t think that God is not for you. He created you with a purpose. So you have purpose. That fact should get us going every day. But He loves us.  I am trying to think of any religion where God is a lover. I think only in Judaism and Christianity is the phrase used “God loves us”. So rejoice in the fact that God is a God of love. So receive His love by believing in Jesus.

Asking as a Partner

In John 15:7 it says:   If ye abide in me, and my words abide in you, ask whatsoever ye will, and it shall be done unto you.

Asking is almost demanding, but we do not demand in tones of arrogance, but as a partner.  If there is an issue we lay the case before the Lord, and let Him deal with it.

What is Prayer

Prayer is joining forces with God. Prayer is fellowship with God in carrying our His will on the earth. Remember what Jesus taught us to pray “Thy will be done on earth as it is in heaven”. There is no issue with God’s will in heaven, just on the earth.

The Deer Desires and Longs

Two Deer Below Tree

Two Deer Below Tree – only God satisfies

Psalm 42:1-2 As the deer panteth after the water-brooks, so panteth my soul after thee, O God. 2 My soul thirsteth for God, for the living God: when shall I come and appear before God?  Wow, in this verse the deer is a picture of people longing and desiring something that’s really satisfies. The only thing that truly satisfies is God and His presence.

In John 4 we have a women asking Jesus about worship.  Jesus talks about Himself being the living water that really satisfies.  The only thing that truly satisfies is God and His presence.

The apostles let go of kitchen duty; this is called delegation.  Apostles let go of kitchen and assigned it to seven men to manage so they could focus on the word and ministry.  Acts 6:1 Now in these days, when the number of the disciples was multiplying, there arose a murmuring of the Grecian Jews against the Hebrews, because their widows were neglected in the daily ministration. 2 And the twelve called the multitude of the disciples unto them, and said, It is not fit that we should forsake the word of God, and serve tables. 3 Look ye out therefore, brethren, from among you seven men of good report, full of the Spirit and of wisdom, whom we may appoint over this business. 4 But we will continue stedfastly in prayer, and in the ministry of the word.

God is Spirit

24 God is Spirit: and they that worship him must worship in spirit and truth. Notice there are two words “spirit” and “Spirit” in this passage. The Spirit (upper case) refers to the Spirit of God, the Holy Spirit. The spirit (lower case) refers to our human spirit. God gave us a spirit, soul and body. So we could use our spirit to worship and contact God who is Spirit.
