Coram Deo - I try to live my life consciously aware of Gods presence, under His authority, and for His glory. Let your everyday duties become acts of worship.
Read your Bible. Meet your savior Jesus. Be convicted in your heart. Turn from your sin. Understand that you are evil and corrupt. Accept the free gift of grace and salvation in Jesus Christ alone. Be filled with peace, love, and joy that you don’t understand.
“Again I say to you, that if two of you agree on earth about anything that they may ask, it shall be done for them by My Father who is in heaven.”
Matthew 18:19
“Now I exhort you, brethren, by the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, that you all agree and that there be no divisions among you, but that you be made complete in the same mind and in the same judgment.”
1 Corinthians 1:10
I pray that the children of light who read this will have their understanding opened if it is closed regarding the power of agreement in spirit and judgment
“Now King Solomon loved many foreign women along with the daughter of Pharaoh: Moabite, Ammonite, Edomite, Sidonian, and Hittite women, from the nations concerning which the Lord had said to the sons of Israel, “You shall not associate with them, nor shall they associate with you, for they will surely turn your heart away after their gods.” Solomon held fast to these in love.”
1 Kings 11:1-2
Eye has not seen, ear has not heard, nor has entered into the heart of man, all that God has prepared for those who love Him.
Eye has not seen, ear has not heard, nor has entered into the heart of man, all that God has prepared for those who hate Him.
@Emann1980@JesusSaves1500 “And He, when He comes, will convict the world concerning sin and righteousness and judgment; concerning sin, because they do not believe in Me;”
John 16:8-9
“In this case, moreover, it is required of stewards that one be found trustworthy.”
1 Corinthians 4:2
“For if I do this voluntarily, I have a reward; but if against my will, I have a stewardship entrusted to me.”
For if I preach the gospel, I have nothing to boast of, for I am under compulsion; for woe is me if I do not preach the gospel.
I do all things for the sake of the gospel, so that I may become a fellow partaker of it.”
1 Corinthians 9:16-17, 23
I feel an urge to share this, I don’t want to but it’s for somebody:
I’ve received the gift of tongues, but I rarely use it. I used it a lot at first but then I would get discouraged by teachers and others and convinced myself it was foolish and I felt silly and embarrassed when I would pray in tongues, even when I’m all alone I would begin to feel more and more shame. So I stopped, but the urges to continue didn’t stop. Things would happen and the urge to pray in tongues came and I would forcibly close my mouth. Only one memory I hold on to that gives me hope: one late night in bed with my wife, this fear came over her and she told me she felt darkness and evil in the room with us (I didn’t feel anything) but she was visibly shaken and afraid, a 28yo woman shaking like a little girl. Almost Instinctively I snapped to praying in tongues, throwing aside the shame and doubt that I had about its legitimacy and effectiveness. I prayed in the tongue given me for maybe one minute, then began to worship God and praise him in English, thanking him and exalting him, and glorifying him. The whole ordeal was no longer than 7-8 minutes. But my wife looked at me after it all and asked what I had done and what I was saying bc the moment I began in my tongue she said the darkness she felt and saw fled the room. And hasn’t come back since. There is power in praying in tongues, I’ve seen it, but even still I struggle with my faith in it bc so many others call it silly. I’m trying to pick it back up again.
@OmegaMessage@An_Eternal_Hope That’s just a part of it but I suppose His sinlessness technically encompasses His obedience unto death. Which is why He was exalted
“The earth was formless and void, and darkness was over the surface of the deep, and the Spirit of God was moving over the surface of the waters.”
Genesis 1:2
“For thus says the Lord, who created the heavens (He is the God who formed the earth and made it, He established it and did not create it a waste place, but formed it to be inhabited), “I am the Lord, and there is none else.”
Isaiah 45:18

“Then God said, “Let there be light”; and there was light.”
Genesis 1:3
“I looked on the earth, and behold, it was formless and void; And to the heavens, and they had no light. I looked on the mountains, and behold, they were quaking, And all the hills moved to and fro.”
Jeremiah 4:23-24
Do not think that I came to abolish the Law or the Prophets; I did not come to abolish but to fulfill.
Matthew 5:17
just as the Son of Man did not come to be served, but to serve, and to give His life a ransom for many.
Matthew 20:28
Much more then, having now been justified by His blood, we shall be saved from the wrath of God through Him. For if while we were enemies we were reconciled to God through the death of His Son, much more, having been reconciled, we shall be saved by His life.
Romans 5:9-10
Some of us are the hands, some of us are the feet, some the arms, and others legs. All are needed. All have a place and purpose. Do not discredit a member bc they do not share your vocation, experience, or passion.
A part of me dies when I see brothers fighting.
Be content with your lot
Paul to all those in Rome,
"I am confident that you are able to instruct one another" Romans 15:14
Paul to Timothy,
"The Servant of the Lord must be able to teach" 2 Timothy 2:24
We ought, therefore, teach one another
And be humble enough to be taught by the other
