The Power to Protect

“But you must continue in the things which you have learned and been assured of…” 2 Timothy 3:14.

With a fury, the Devil is working to infiltrate our churches with many false doctrines. How can we live protected and not fall prey to his subtle endeavors in attempting to mislead the church of Christ today? There is only one way - by constantly feeding on the Word of God. It’s truly that simple. The Word of God has the full and complete power to protect us from everything that is false, from all error, and sin. In Acts 20:29-32, Paul warns the elders at Ephesus of the false teachings that would most certainly creep in among them. In His closing commendation to them, he states: “to God and to the Word of His grace.” And in his letter to Timothy, he writes:

“But evil men and imposters will grow worse and worse, deceiving and being deceived. But you must continue in the things which you have learned and been assured of, knowing from whom you have learned them, and that from childhood you have known the Holy Scriptures, which are able to make you wise for salvation through faith which is in Christ Jesus.” 2 Timothy 3:13-15

Walking With God:
If you will feed on the Word of God, saturating your life constantly in its truth and power, the Word will protect your mind, heart, and spirit from being deceived. It is through simple neglect of the Word that leaves so many believers falling prey to false teachings, doctrines and “knowledge that puffs up” that Satan, in all his scheming and subtley ways, is always at work in trying to invade the Church of Christ. You do not have to be deceived, so … live in God’s Word! Keep a Bible with you - in your car, in your purse, and in your desk at work. Read it throughout the day, and watch how your life will be transformed ~ drastically! Read, love, trust and obey God’s Word … it has the power to protect.





ANXIOUS FOR NOTHING

A lways trust &
N ot be afraid;
X pect God
I s in control!
O ur worries,
U nto Him leave,
S urely He will never fail!

F ear not,
O He will be with us!
R ejoice and again rejoice!

N ow in Christ
O ur Rock of Ages,
T urn our eyes upon Him see,
H e is our good Shepherd kind!
I n all
N ow
G ive Him glory!

Freedom from Anxiety

“Be anxious for nothing, but in everything by prayer and supplication, with thanksgiving, let your requests be made known to God; and the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding, will guard your hearts and minds through Christ Jesus,” Philippians 4:6-7.

Does this verse seem like a beautiful picture in life, but beyond reach? That is not so at all. The verse tells us how this life of peace is attainable: “Be anxious for nothing.” The rest of the verse tells us how to do this: “In everything by prayer and supplication, with thanksgiving, let your requests be made known to God.” What could be plainer or more simple than that? Just keep in touch with God. Get in the habit of talking with Him about everything. When troubles or afflictions occur - great or small - speak with Him about it, never forgetting to return thanks for what He has already done. Some of us let the hurry of our lives crowd prayer out; what a waste of time, energy, and emotion there is in a prayerless life and constant worry! One night of prayer will save us from many nights of insomnia. Time spent in prayer is not wasted; it is invested … at a big interest. A life of prayer is glorious, and it is also as simple as it is glorious! Thank God, many are trying it!

Walking With God:
Do you know anyone who is always serene? Perhaps they actually have a very tempermental nature, yet when troubles, conflicts, opposition, and sorrow sweep all around them … the peace of God, that is beyond any human reasoning, keeps their heart and their thoughts in Jesus. We all know people like that. How do they do it? By prayer - that’s how. They know the deep peace of God ~ the unfathomable peace that surpasses all natural comprehension, because they are living in the supernatural life and peace of prayer.

PRICELESS HERITAGE

P recious
R eally are Thy Statutes!
I n my heart
C losely I'll guard!
E mpow'r &
L ead us
E very moment;
S eek THy will,
S urrender self;

H e is
E ver the same;
R ighteous, just
I n all His ways;
T rust Him &
A lways obey Him;
G o and make Disciples, His Great Commission fulfill -
E verlasting life through Christ share!

Tune to "Thy Word"




From Lisa Cronk's: Our Most Priceless Heritage

“Your statutes are my heritage forever; they are the joy of my heart,” Psalm 119:111.

A man owned a vineyard and his sons believed their father to be very wealthy. Since he was secretive about it they could not be sure, but they hoped to inherit a fortune when he died. On his deathbed he told his sons that the secret of his wealth was to be found in the vineyard. The boys immediately began to dig, hoping to find the treasure they believed to be hidden under the vines. They toiled for months, being careful not to damage the vines. In the course of time they dug over every inch of the vineyard and discovered nothing. But that fall their vineyard produced the finest crop of grapes on record. Then they realized what their wise father had done. He had forced them to stop loathing around and instead to cultivate the vineyard. The secret of his wealth was the vines which, properly cared for, would keep them rich.

Walking With God:
Your heritage, too, is priceless but it will not yield its wealth to you without work. When you work at it, the Bible never fails to yield its riches to your soul or allow you to lose sight of your ultimate inheritance …. your Heavenly Home, “My heart is set on keeping your decrees to the very end.”
