The Word of God

-

All of us long to hear a good word -
a word of comfort, a word of encouragement,
a word of love.
We bloom in the environment of positive words,
while harsh words cause us to shrivel.
Sometimes we say we are tired of words, when in fact
we are tired of empty words, of broken words.
We long for a life-giving word that will not fail.


 

FROM THE BOOK

God is not a man, that he should lie. He is not a human, that he should change his mind. Has he ever spoken and failed to act? Has he ever promised and not carried it through?
Number 23:19, page 172

The word of God is full of living power. It is sharper than the sharpest knife, cutting deep into our innermost thoughts and desires. It exposes us for what we really are.
Hebrews 4:12, page 1210

The grass withers, and the flowers fade beneath the breath of the Lord. And so it is with people. The grass withers, and the flowers fade, but the word of our God stands forever.
Isaiah 40:7-8, page 713


 

GOD'S PROMISE

Keep on asking, and you will be given what you ask for. Keep on looking, and you will find. Keep on knocking, and the door will be opened. For everyone who asks, receives. Everyone who seeks, finds. And the door is opened to everyone who knocks.
Matthew 7:7-8, page 937


 

ACTION POINT

Maybe you're not sure about God and the Bible, but you've already taken the first step. So for the next twenty days, tell God you're here and that you're ready for whatever he shows you in The Book.

I love that passage from Isaiah that you shared.
Actually, I love Isaiah in general. Though my 'favorite' book is Ezekiel. I find the prophets to be so interesting, b/c they are full of promises and foreshadowings of Christ.

Characteristics of the Jezebel Spirit!

-
Characteristics of the Jezebel Spirit: 1. It is a satanic evil spirit. 2. The root of this spirit most often lies from hurt and pain bottled up within the carrier from childhood or unforgiveness from many hurts, pains, disappoints, abuse, etc. throughout the individuals life that has not been properly dealt with. This person was more than likely hurt by someone they loved, cared for, or trusted. The person carrying the jezebel spirit most often don’t know that they are carrying it because they have been deceived into believing that they are well and nothing is wrong. They most often deal with their hurts and pains by inflicting hurt and pain on others or getting others to sympathize with their pain to the point of bringing them under their control. They usually find people who have low-self-esteem, people who are genuinely loving God - minding their own business, and focus on the work that God has put in their hands, and people who lack discernment in regards to this spirit in par

I really don't get sick often at all. It's been that way ever since I can remember. I remember wanting to be sick so I could stay home from school just for one day. Question 2 Do you usually send serious or humorous greeting cards? Why? I usually send serious ones because I like to be a blessing to others by giving words of encouragement, wisdom, and appreciation. Question 3 Are you a person who has a whole lot of acquaintances, or just a few very close friends? I have both. I have very few close friends because true friends are hard to come by. I hold what the Bible says a true friend should be to heart and it is hard to find genuine people who have the same belief/standards. I have many acquaintances because I believe that we are to live at peace
