We sing and enjoy the song “Call on the one from Bethlehem” which tell us to call on Jesus when in trouble. This song is good for a baby christian who recently received the Holy Spirit, but God is calling us to walk in maturity. To move from calling on Jesus to walking in the power and authority of Jesus. Before Jesus left he told His disciples that they who believeth on him will do greater works than he (St. John 14:12-14) Jesus left us a comforter which is the Holy Spirit that dwells in us. This Holy Spirit is the incorruptible seed that IICorth. 4:7 speaks of which enables us to do the greater works.
Jesus also told us that those who believe on him would cast out devils, raise the dead, heal the sick. (Mark 16:17-18 ) Jesus works is finished here on earth. He now sits on the right hand of the Father making intersession for us. (Rom. 8:34). The ball is now in our hands, so stop calling on Jesus in helplessness and use the authority which he has given you.
Today I’m promoting family night. The family unit is the core of our society. So many families in our generation are broken and suffering from a lack of quality time spent together. So, I am taking this time to encourage my readers to spend quality time together. It doesn’t have to be expense. Something as simple as watching a family movie from the comfort of your home, or playing family board games can do wonders in bringing the family together.
I would like to share with you an inexpensive way for families to view movies without purchasing illegal bootleg copies or breaking the bank to take everyone to the theaters, click here. Cook a nice family meal and download your favorite movie. Then sit back relax and discuss the show afterward, it makes for great conversation. And who knows you just might learn something you never knew about your loved one.
Women who allow themselves to be beat to a pulp by their spouse or significant other, state their reason for returning or remaining in an abusive relationship is that they love them. Wanting or needing the abuser to change their ways is not relevant to the abused – only a warped sense of love is their focus.
No one knows more about love than the creator himself, so we must look to the Holy Scriptures to get a true understanding of what real love is. In I John 4:8 it states that God is love, so to know what love truly is we must first get to know God. Proverbs 9:10 reads, “The fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom: and the knowledge of the holy is understanding.” God gives humans the capacity to know him. It is imperative that we start understanding love by getting to know God for only then can we get it right.
How does one have the proof that they love themselves correctly? Proverbs 19:8 reads, “He that getteth wisdom loveth his own soul: he that keepeth understanding shall find good.” One who cares enough to educate themselves and gain wisdom for their own betterment loves their soul. One who continues to walk in the knowledge that they have gained will live a good life. A good life is what God wants for his children. If that was not true, God would not have told us how to find good.
Another scripture that comes to mind is James 2:8, “Thou shalt love they neighbor as thyself.” A key phrase here is “as thyself.” One thing that abused women are missing is self-love and if they cannot love themselves how can they love another. So, it becomes a vicious cycle. You have two self-haters attempting to love one another.
