Steadfast part 1

We have faith in God (in love) because He proves Himself faithful. We trust in Him because He proves Himself trustworthy. Do you see a theme developing? We can be steadfast in His love, because His love is steadfast in us. Now, according to dictionary.com "steadfast" means, "Fixed in direction;...

When Jesus appears we will see Him as He is, and be Him as He is. Which you could, I guess, make it sound like something to wait for. But add this to that: "Herein is our love made perfect, that we may have boldness in the day of judgment: because as he is, so are we in this world" (1 John 4:17)....

Don't roll your eyes, but this is one of my favorite Bible verses, "Beloved, now are we the sons of God, and it doth not yet appear what we shall be: but we know that, when he shall appear, we shall be like him; for we shall see him as he is" (1 John 3:2). And I like it because it not only tells us...

I'm going to kind of squint my eyes a little bit to make this work. Come on the journey with me. I could only find one Bible verse with the words "blind" and "faith" and it is in the Message Bible. Hebrews 11:27, "By an act of faith, he turned his heel on Egypt, indifferent to the king's blind...

Blind Faith part 2

Faith is not blind. Faith is the SUBSTANCE of things hoped for and the EVIDENCE of things not seen. Faith is not hoping God will do something. Faith is knowing He will because He has said He would... and because He has done it before. We have faith in God because He has proven Himself faithful....

Blind Faith part 1

This is one of those ironic titles to get you to think about the term. Because I don't believe there is any such thing as "blind" faith. I believe faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen. Faith is knowing that your heavenly Father has your back because He's been...

Manifested part 5

What you magnify in your life is what will manifest in your life. What you feed is what will grow. What you allow is what will continue. So, to me, what you ought to do is magnify God (LOVE) in your life. Feed the love in your life (remembering, of course, that love feeds on love). Allow love in...

Manifested part 4

God manifested His love for us by giving us His only begotten Son. Jesus manifested His love for us by dying for us--and as us--on the cross. By giving His life for us and to us. Love is giving. That's how it was manifested to US, and that's how we manifest it to EACH OTHER. Jesus said there is no...

Manifested part 3

Love manifests in your life when you give away the love that you have. When what's inside (what's REALLY inside... which is the love of God) comes out. That's the whole deal with receiving and releasing. God fills us up with His love and then we fill ourselves up to overflowing with what we've...

Manifested part 2

The word "manifested" is used 10 times in the King James Version of the Bible. Half of those are in the book of 1 John. We looked at one of those yesterday (1 John 4:9). Today I want to look at 1 John 1:2, "(For the life was manifested, and we have seen it, and bear witness, and shew unto you that...
