Does it feel like a Spiritual War is going on in this world, and regardless of what you think or believe, you are caught in the middle of it? Scriptures help us survive and thrive in this world. We need to pray as we read the Scriptures. Allow the Lord to help you apply them. Walk with the Messiah of God in a partnership. It is impossible to apply spiritual principles without God’s strength.
The Golden Rule
Life would be easier if everyone would apply the Golden Rule in Matthew 7:12. Most of us find it difficult to treat others with respect or kindness when our feelings are hurt. It hurts to be insulted. People everywhere seem to be struggling with being respected and respecting others. If only we could learn how to agree to disagree with others while treating each other with respect. Start with yourself today to correct this problem by focusing on the Lord and praying this Scripture with Him for yourself…
Matthew 7:12-14 Therefore all things whatsoever ye would that men should do to you, do ye even so to them: for this is the law and the prophets. 13 Enter ye in at the strait gate: for wide is the gate, and broad is the way, that leadeth to destruction, and many there be which go in thereat: 14 Because strait is the gate, and narrow is the way, which leadeth unto life, and few there be that find it.
Physical Mortal Beings
We are physical beings with a short life span. It is easy and natural to get caught up in our desires. We often have difficulty distinguishing between lust and love. We naturally seek to fulfill our desires. If we stay self focused we find our life is barren and empty. We have trouble being satisfied or content. The Scriptures tell us that if we surrender to God we can grow in Godly Knowledge and will not be barren. Instead, we will be fruitful as we share how a partnership with the Lord blesses us. Allow the Holy Spirit to lead and bless you through these Scriptures and those that He will put upon your heart and mind.
Focus on The Lord and Pray This Scripture with Him
2 Peter 1:4-8 Whereby are given unto us exceeding great and precious promises: that by these ye might be partakers of the divine nature, having escaped the corruption that is in the world through lust. 5 And beside this, giving all diligence, add to your faith virtue; and to virtue knowledge; 6 And to knowledge temperance; and to temperance patience; and to patience godliness; 7 And to godliness brotherly kindness; and to brotherly kindness charity. 8 For if these things be in you, and abound, they make you that ye shall neither be barren nor unfruitful in the knowledge of our Lord Jesus Christ.
