What was the thought of Hope that you awakened to, today?
“Truth” of the Bible continues to be confirmed through preaching and writing!
Careful to emphasize this is not a sacreligious comment I am showing that any of us bringing God’s Truth to the unlearned or disinterested with our words is prevalent. The Holy Spirit will allow the truth of scripture which is still pertinent and our work stands to add credence to the existing word of God.
This does not mean that we are contemplating creating a new bible but, adding to the words of antiquity we will continue the teaching of the Holy Spirit by opening through prophecy the plan of God to share his life and love with man. “For I know well the plans I have in mind for you, says the Lord, plans for your welfare, not for woe! Plans to give you a future with hope. When you call me, when you go to pray to me, I will listen to you. When you look for me, you will find me. Yes, when you seek me with all your heart, you will find me with you, says the Lord, and I will change your lot.” (Jer 29: 11 - 15).
Inspiration, whether through speaking audibly or writing, is definitely real and not hyper-bole. We who use these methods of communicating need to remember that God still calls prophets in modern times to continue reaching out to the masses the word of God has not slipped into antiquity.
There are, no doubt, many people who may want to emphasize that the bible and the commandments of God are passe’ and we need to pack these ideas in a folder and place it on a shelf along with the Easter Bunny and Santa Claus. “Wake up America”, they will say! “Get with it and talk about things that have sustenance in the real world.” Words like this proves that modern society has fallen away from belief in God, instead trusting in gods of iniquity and existing in a Woke induced life that surely will send millions into hell by their own desire to find a self-induced god that does not exist.
The obvious criterion that we who attempt to reach people with our words is a manner of reaching out, and has found factions that do not want our opinions regardless how much it is God we are portraying. Never allow yourself to become intimidated by the verbal abuse from non-believers. We’ve seen that type of corrupt admonition over the years by a Marxist philosophy and it will not stop as long as the real fear of God (total respect and trust) remains the number one criterion of the remaining disciples of Christ who do believe in our eternal God.
If you are one who preaches or writes, know that God has called you to continue letting people know that you are here by the Holy Spirit’s gifts and inspiration for your task.
