Feelings Are Neither Here Nor There
Feelings are fleshly and do not help us. It is best to think rationally to evaluate our feelings, whether they are truth or godly. If they are not, then ignore them and do the right thing.
Waiting On God!
Arabs have been a continual problem to the Jews, in attempts to expunge them from the face of the earth.
Ishmael is the father of this rebel nation of Islam, they claim parentage through Abraham. They are the children of Abraham, but they are the illegitimate children of a slave girl. Praise the Lord that God can save them just as He can save us, but their nation as a whole, will always be a problem to Israel.
Notice what happened when Abraham went ahead of God to fulfill God's promise his own way rather than believing God and waiting on Him.
Do we want God to perform His miracles and promises to us, or do we set out to do them our own way and reap the terrible consequences of our willfulness?

Dinosaurs Walked With Man
Dinosaurs Walked With Man
The true science has been documented in the Bible! All that we have been taught in the public institutions about the big bang theory has been nothing more than pure perverted imagination, ferry stories developed by men who set out to destroy the faith of many, to disprove the existence of God.
God describes in His Word how the world was formed and even mentions in some detail the creatures that lived and walked on the earth during the time of man.
One of the creatures we were raised to believe was a cartoon character was that of the dragon. The Leviathan was a creature such as this.
God speaking in Job about the Leviathan, a dinosaur dragon that walk when Job walked:
Job 41
New American Standard Bible (NASB)
God’s Power Shown in Creatures
"41 “[a]Can you draw out [b]Leviathan with a fishhook?
Or press down his tongue with a cord?
2 “Can you put a [c]rope in his nose
Or pierce his jaw with a [d]hook?
3 “Will he make many supplications to you,
Or will he speak to you soft words?
4 “Will he make a covenant with you?
Will you take him for a servant forever?
5 “Will you play with him as with a bird,
Or will you bind him for your maidens?
6 “Will the [e]traders bargain over him?
Will they divide him among the merchants?
7 “Can you fill his skin with harpoons,
Or his head with fishing spears?
8 “Lay your hand on him;
Remember the battle; [f]you will not do it again!
9 “[g]Behold, [h]your expectation is false;
Will [i]you be laid low even at the sight of him?
10 “No one is so fierce that he dares to arouse him;
Who then is he that can stand before Me?
11 “Who has [j]given to Me that I should repay him?
Whatever is under the whole heaven is Mine.
12 “I will not keep silence concerning his limbs,
Or his mighty strength, or his [k]orderly frame.
13 “Who can [l]strip off his outer armor?
Who can come within his double [m]mail?
14 “Who can open the doors of his face?
Around his teeth there is terror.
15 “His [n]strong scales are his pride,
Shut up as with a tight seal.
16 “One is so near to another
That no air can come between them.
17 “They are joined one to another;
They clasp each other and cannot be separated.
18 “His sneezes flash forth light,
And his eyes are like the eyelids of the morning.
19 “Out of his mouth go burning torches;
Sparks of fire leap forth.
20 “Out of his nostrils smoke goes forth
As from a boiling pot and burning rushes.
21 “His breath kindles coals,
And a flame goes forth from his mouth.
22 “In his neck lodges strength,
And dismay leaps before him.
23 “The folds of his flesh are joined together,
Firm on him and immovable.
24 “His heart is as hard as a stone,
Even as hard as a lower millstone.
25 “When he raises himself up, the [o]mighty fear;
Because of the crashing they are bewildered.
26 “The sword that reaches him cannot avail,
Nor the spear, the dart or the javelin.
27 “He regards iron as straw,
Bronze as rotten wood."

Fighting With God?
Fighting With God?
I was once accused of giving too much scripture. What was amusing to me is that I thought I wasn't giving enough.
The one who accused me said she wanted to hear my thoughts, that I didn't seem to be able to think for myself.
I knew the real reason for her complaint, she wanted to argue with me about "my opinion", while being uncomfortable with arguing with God.
She had nothing to say against me when it was God I was quoting. The only criticism she had against me was to quote too much of God's Word. LOL!
There are times when we need to be silent and just let God speak through His Word. Let the rebellious fight with God, He can handle it.

God Hates Idolatry
I have just been in conversation with someone who told me
that it does not matter what we do, because God looks at the heart.
The problem with this mentality is that God never gave us
principles to follow because they didn't matter, He gave them expecting us to
obey.
I grow weary of those that think that sin and disobedience
to God's principles are unimportant as long as we are born again. God says, if
we are born again then we hate sin, we love to obey.
Those who refuse to be corrected, hanging onto their idols
with tenacity while claiming to love that which offends God, places a question
in my mind, how could it be that someone who has been made into a new creation,
kicks against the goad when challenged with Scripture to evaluate their actions
and attitudes.
Having come out of a religious system that encouraged idol
worship, I can no longer tolerate any form of idolatry.
Romans 6
King James Version (KJV)
1 What shall we say then? Shall we continue in sin, that
grace may abound?
2 God forbid. How shall we, that are dead to sin, live any
longer therein?
3 Know ye not, that so many of us as were baptized into
Jesus Christ were baptized into his death?
4 Therefore we are buried with him by baptism into death:
that like as Christ was raised up from the dead by the glory of the Father,
even so we also should walk in newness of life.
5 For if we have been planted together in the likeness of
his death, we shall be also in the likeness of his resurrection:
6 Knowing this, that our old man is crucified with him, that
the body of sin might be destroyed, that henceforth we should not serve sin.
7 For he that is dead is freed from sin.
8 Now if we be dead with Christ, we believe that we shall
also live with him:
9 Knowing that Christ being raised from the dead dieth no
more; death hath no more dominion over him.
10 For in that he died, he died unto sin once: but in that
he liveth, he liveth unto God.
11 Likewise reckon ye also yourselves to be dead indeed unto
sin, but alive unto God through Jesus Christ our Lord.
12 Let not sin therefore reign in your mortal body, that ye
should obey it in the lusts thereof.
Trust Food or Trust Christ?
I am so over the whole "Holistic" food thing. I was once intrigued by it until I saw the prices for these so called healthy foods.
I am weary of all the hype about vitamins and healthy food, so much so that I am rebelling and choosing not to indulge in the craze.
Now reports are coming out that the vitamins people trusted have almost no value in making us healthier.
If someone is shown to have an illness due to deficiency in something that is different, but I believe many people are spending lots of money for vitamins that have so little an effect, that it is almost unnoticeable.
I also believe that those that say they feel better from taking vitamins, only think there is a change, it is mostly in their own heads. Perhaps an hysterical wellness. LOL!!!
The natural food industry is laughing all the way to the bank.
I also believe that the devil has succeeded in engaging believers in this paranoia about food and vitamins, to distract them from what really matters.
Jeremiah 17:7 "Blessed is the man that trusteth in the LORD, and whose hope the LORD is."
Ephesians 6:1-3
"1 Children, obey your parents in the Lord: for this is right.
2 Honour thy father and mother; which is the first commandment with promise;
3 That it may be well with thee, and thou mayest live long on the earth."
Don't see anything in these passages about food!

Provoke One Another!
Provoke: "to excite, to irritate, to stir up." I think this is a stronger intent than our culture realizes. We are so gentile with our delivery these days that a rebuke is hardly recognizable. As humans, we don't notice the importance of a matter until the delivery is intense, then we can see. We are so steeped in "self esteem" that there is a fear looming over everyone that they might upset the hearer, so their message becomes practically impotent.
Hebrews 10:24-25
King James Version (KJV)
24 And let us consider one another to provoke unto love and to good works:
25 Not forsaking the assembling of ourselves together, as the manner of some is; but exhorting one another: and so much the more, as ye see the day approaching.
King James Version (KJV)
