GENESIS 1:3 GOD SAID, LET THERE BE LIGHT: AND THERE WAS LIGHT.
LUKE 1:35 AND THE ANGEL ANSWERES AND SAID UNTO HER, THE HOLY GHOST SHALL COME UPON THEE, AND THE POWER OF THE HIGHEST SHALL OVERSHADOW THEE: THEREFORE ALSO THAT HOLY THING WHICH IS BORN OF THEE SHALL BE CALLED THE SON OF GOD.
LUKE 2:11 FOR UNTO YOU IS BORN THIS DAY IN THE CITY OF DAVID A SAVIOUR, WHICH IS CHRIST.
Some believe that GOD is GOD, but is that enough?
JAMES 2:19 THOU BELIEVEST THAT THERE IS ONE GOD. THOU DOEST WELL: THE DEVILS ALSO BELIEVE AND TREMBLE.
We will be looking into our belief in GOD.
What exactly do you believe?
Do you believe that HE created the heaven and the earth, as told in GENESIS 1:1-31?
Great if you do.
Do you believe there is One GOD?
1CORINTHIANS 8:6 BUT TO US THERE IS BUT ONE GOD, THE FATHER, OF WHOM ARE ALL THINGS, AND WE IN HIM, AND ONE LORD JESUS CHRIST, BY WHOM, ARE ALL THINGS, AND WE BY HIM.
Do you believe in HIS SON, or do you question like the tempter? Show me.
MATTHEW 4:3 AND WHEN THE TEMPTER CAME UNTO HIM, HE SAID, IF THOU BE THE SON OF GOD, COMMAND THESE STONES BE MADE BREAD.
Do you believe they crucified The SON of GOD?
MARK 15:25 AND IT WAS THE THIRD HOUR, AND THEY CRUCIFIED HIM.
Do you believe HE arose from the dead?
ACTS 10:40 HIM GOD RAISED UP THE THIRD DAY AND SHEWED HIM OPENLY.
Do you believe that HIS SPIRIT is within you?
ROMANS 8:9 BUT YE ARE NOT IN THE FLESH, BUT IN THE SPIRIT, IF SO BE THAT THE SPIRIT OF GOD DWELL IN YOU. NOW IF ANY MAN HAVE NOT THE SPIRIT OF CHRIST, HE IS NONE OF HIS.
Do you believe that HIS power in you can make others whole,
ACTS 4:8 THEN PETER, FILLED WITH THE HOLY GHOST SAID UNTO THEM, YE RULERS OF THE PEOPLE, AND ELDERS OF ISRAEL.
ACTS 4:9 IF WE THIS DAY BE EXAMINED OF THE GOOD DEED DONE TO THE IMPOTENT MAN, BY WHAT MEANS HE IS MADE WHOLE,
ACTS 4:10 BE IT KNOWN UNTO YOU ALL, AND TO ALL THE PEOPLE OF ISRAEL, THAT BY THE NAME OF JESUS CHRIST OF NAZARETH, WHOM YE CRUCIFIED, WHOM GOD RAISED FROM THE DEAD, BY HIM DOTH THIS MAN STAND HERE BEFORE YOU WHOLE.
I GUESS WHAT I AM ASKING IS DO YOU BELIEVE THE BIBLE? DO YOU BELIEVE THE BIBLE TO BE THE WORD OF GOD?
II TIMOTHY 3:16 ALL SCRIPTURE IS GIVEN BY INSPIRATION OF GOD AND IS PROFITABLE FOR DOCTRINE, FOR REPROOF, FOR CORRECTION, FOR INSTRUCTION IN RIGHTEOUSNESS.
II TIMOTHY 3:17 THAT THE MAN OF GOD BE PERFECT, THROUGHLY FURNISHED UNTO ALL GOOD WORKS.
The Bible is to teach us what "good works" are.
So many don't even know or care what GOD calls "good works".
HEBREWS 5:14 BUT STRONG MEAT BELONGETH TO THEM THAT ARE FULL AGE, THOSE WHO BY REASON OF USE HAVE THEIR SENSES EXERCISED TO DISCERN BOTH GOOD AND EVIL.
DO YOU CARE ABOUT "GOOD WORKS"?
PROVERBS 6:16 THESE SIX THINGS DOTH THE LORD HATE: YEA, SEVEN ARE AN ABOMINATION UNTO HIM, A PROUD LOOK, A LYING TONGUE, AND HANDS THAT SHED INNOCENT BLOOD, AN HEART THAT DEVISETH WICKED IMAGINATIONS, FEET THAT BE SWIFT IN RUNNING TO MISCHIEF, A FALSE WITNESS THAT SPEAKETH LIES, AND HE THAT SOWETH DISCORD AMONG THE BRETHREN.
JEREMIAH 1:5 BEFORE I FORMED THEE IN THE BELLY I KNEW THEE, AND BEFORE THOU CAMEST FORTH OUT OF THE WOMB I SANCTIFIED THEE, AND I ORDAINED THE A PROPHET UNTO THE NATIONS.
ALL OF THESE SEVEN ARE AN ABOMINATION TO GOD, BUT WE ARE GOING TO LOOK AT JUST A FEW TODAY.
GOD hates the hands that shed innocent blood, feet that run to mischief, false witnesses, those that sow discord among the brethren. Sounds like things that are happening today.
People that claim to be doing right when they are blatantly obvious, hatred in their hearts. They have no love for anyone, not even themselves. A hatred that has been sown in their hearts since birth. An evil that only GOD can change, GOD is the only One that can change hatred into love.
ISAIAH 5:20 WOE UNTO THEM THAT CALL EVIL GOOD, AND GOOD EVIL, THAT PUT DARKNESS FOR LIGHT, AND LIGHT FOR DARKNESS, THAT PUT BITTER FOR SWEET, AND SWEET FOR BITTER.
ISAIAH 5:21 WOE UNTO THEM THAT ARE WISE IN THEIR OWN EYES, AND PRUDENT IN THEIR OWN SIGHT.
ISAIAH 5:22 WOE UNTO THEM THAT ARE MIGHTY TO DRINK WINE, AND MEN OF STRENGTH TO MINGLE STRONG DRINK, WHICH JUSTIFY THE WICKED FOR REWARD AND TAKE AWAY THE RIGHTEOUSNESS OF THE RIGHTEOUS FROM HIM.
Sounds like the people that sit in places of power today. They sit and drink their wine and strong drinks laughing and rewarding the evil-doers, openly calling them heroes. Murderers are being called brave.
Attacking another person for having a different color of skin, or who they see as people of privilege. People that go from city to city starting riots and civil disorder. Shedding innocent blood. People bragging about the evil they are doing. Calling evil good and good evil. Some people are being paid to bring their hatred to these cities. Think about the evil that is going on. Don't think evil started these past few years, it started in the garden that was in Eden, it started with the serpent that approached Eve and Adam.
GENESIS 3:1 NOW THE SERPENT WAS MORE SUBTIL THAN ANY BEAST OF THE FIELD WHICH THE LORD GOD MADE. AND HE SAID TO THE WOMAN YE HATH GOD SAID, YE SHALL NOT EAT OF THE TREE OF THE GARDEN?
This is exactly how satan works, he makes you doubt what GOD said.
EXAMPLE, Do you believe that a baby is formed in the belly of a woman?
JEREMIAH 1:5 BEFORE I FORMED THEE IN THE BELLY I KNEW THEE, AND BEFORE THOU CAMEST FORTH OUT OF THE WOMB I SANCTIFIED THEE, AND I ORDAINED THE A PROPHET UNTO THE NATIONS.
Do you now believe that the baby is formed by GOD in the belly, and He has a purpose for the child that HE forms?
Then why do you believe in abortion? There are people being killed every day, that may have the purpose of curing cancer, dementia, Parkinson's, AIDS, and other diseases. Some blame GOD for their or one of their families' illnesses. Are you one of those that think GOD has forgotten or even betrayed you, by letting you get a disease? Think again, just like the people rejected HIS OWN SON, AND KILLED HIM, people reject and kill today. JESUS had healing of the soul, Salvation, and they rejected HIM and, killed him.
LUKE 9:22 SAYING, THE SON OF MAN MUST SUFFER MANY THINGS, AND BE REJECTED OF THE ELDERS AND CHIEF PRIESTS AND SCRIBES, AND BE SLAIN, AND BE RAISED ON THE THIRD DAY.
These aborted babies are killed by an evil heart, that heart has no love for the things of GOD or even for GOD HIMSELF.
Do you still believe in abortion?
Think on "GOOD WORKS" not evil ones.
I"ll leave you with these Scriptures,
PHILIPPIANS 4:7&8
AND THE PEACE OF GOD, WHICH PASSETH ALL UNDERSTANDING, SHALL KEEP YOUR HEARTS AND MINDS THROUGH CHRIST JESUS.
FINALLY, BRETHREN, WHATSOEVER THINGS THAT ARE TRUE, WHATSOEVER THINGS THAT HONEST, WHATSOEVER THINGS THAT ARE JUST, WHATSOEVER THINGS THAT ARE PURE, WHATSOEVER THINGS THAT ARE LOVELY, WHATSOEVER THINGS THAT ARE GOOD REPORT, IF THERE BE ANY VIRTUE, AND IF THERE BE ANY PRAISE, THINK ON THESE THINGS.
