Greetings:
I am continually in awe at the simplicity of God’s Word and the direct instructions he shares with us. Studying the Bible is our own personal journey.
Some like to take short trips through its pages. Others decide to engage in a long excursion going carefully from chapter to chapter to more fully understand the words and promises on which we base our Christian faith.
If we don't learn what's in the book, how can we walk the walk?
We are not going to learn it all over night. It takes time – a long time to grasp it, understand it and for us to be able to walk it.
The steps God lays out for us are simple, though not necessarily easy.
God’s whisper in our Spirit will never be in conflict with what He directs in His Word.
Ephesians 6:18 (The Amplified Bible) says, “Pray at all times (on every occasion, in every season) in the Spirit, with all [manner of] prayer and entreaty. To that end keep alert and watch with strong purpose and perseverance, interceding in behalf of all the saints (God’s consecrated people).”
When prayer is no longer the oxygen and life blood of our spiritual soul or the heartbeat of our church, our defense is down. That is when we get sidetracked, detoured and re-routed in our walk. That is when we mess up and let sin and evil creep in.
We cannot let that happen.
Be blessed.
