Justin’s Mask-erade
Lord, you declare that false balances and unjust weights are an abomination to yourself. So, I solemnly commit to do business without cheating or deceiving others, or representing things to be other than the way they really are. I pray you will find delight in the way I do business, in Jesus’ name, Amen. (vs 1)
Lord, open my eyes to the value of lowliness, for “with the lowly is wisdom”. Give me this wisdom. At the same time, I reject the coming of pride, which brings shame. (vs 2)
There are huge apologetics sites out there on the net. For example search for apologetics on Yahoo or google. Its a lot of hard work to patiently demolish the arguments and lies that have been built up over many years in people’s minds concerning Christianity and especially the core message of Jesus Christ. Unfortunately I don’t have enough time to write comprehensively on the subject – there’s enough work in this area to fill many lifetimes.
It is good though that you can get directly to the truth by calling upon the name of Jesus.
And the Lord God commanded the man, saying, ” Of every tree of the garden you may freely eat; but of the tree of the
knowledge of good and evil you shall not eat, for in the day that you eat of it you shall surely die.” (Genesis 2:16)
If anyone has a right to be proud, it must be God. After all, He created the world without any help from you or me. He Himself is uncreated, eternal, and utterly faultless. If you think there is a problem with God, you are just showing your ignorance. He Himself dwells in unapproachable light, He is mighty, glorious, perfect in beauty and splendour, ominiscient – no one and nothing can compare to Him. He is the only One qualified to be proud. And yet, He is humble.
Shows the Scriptural promises and expectations of Christ relating to this ministry and answers the objections Christians have to the idea of training believers to do the ministry of divine healing.
The failure of many to receive divine healing over the years have given rise to a whole slew of traditional explanations for why we should not really expect divine healing to happen today. These objections are answered in this article.
Satan will try to get me away from being filled with the Spirit, by offering in my mind temptations which appeal to the lust of the flesh, the lust of the eyes or the pride of life.
What should I do when I am aware of temptations?
1. Look to Jesus Christ. Try to force the mind off the temptation by looking to the Lord and His Word.
2. Immediately seek to be filled with the Holy Spirit.
3. Endeavour, if possible, to flee temptation.
4. Pray for the Lord not to lead me into temptation.
5. Use spiritual weapons where possible – speak the Word, praise God etc.
6.
