#Heart,#Truth,#Real

What is in your heart?  Who is the real you?

The Bible teaches to keep your heart with all diligence; for out of it are the issues of life."  Proverbs 4:23  The Bible also teaches, For as he thinketh in his heart, so is he: eat and drink, saith he to thee; but his heart is not with thee."  Proverbs 23:7

Part of having a walk with the Lord is to live in truth.  Live in the truth of the Gospel.  Live in truth with how one deals with others.  One of the ways the Work of the Lord is hindered is when people do things because someone told them to instead of because the Word of God says to. All that profess Christ as Lord and Savior obey the Word of God with gladness.   Jesus said 'if you love me, keep my commandments.' John 14:15

Then in John 14:21 the Bible says, "He that hath my commandments, and keepeth them, he is is that loveth me: and he that loveth me shall be loved of my Father, and I will love him, and will manifest myself to him."    I John 2:4 says, "He that saith, I know him, and keepeth not his commandments, is a liar, and the truth is not in him."  Verse 3 says, "And hereby we do know that we know him, if we keep his commandments."  Verse 4 is saying a lot.  Keeping the commandments is how it shows that a person knows the Lord.

What's in your heart?  The ways of the Lord or the ways of the world?  Your ways or His ways?

#Run the Race Right,#Win,

Many start, but do not finish. Many once ran well, but now have allowed that which is contrary to scripture to run their lives. The scriptures bear this out in Galatians chapter three. "O foolish Galatians, who hath bewitched you, that ye should not obey the truth, " Galatians 3:1 "Are ye so foolish? having begun in the Spirit, are ye n ow made perfect by the flesh?" Galatians 3:3 The Lord is calling the roll. Are you ready? Revelations 16:15  "Behold, I come as a thief.  Blessed is he that watcheth, and keepeth his garments, lest he walk naked, and they see his shame." steadfastapostolic.com

#Call Jesus,#Cry out,#Jesus, Deliverer

If you call Jesus right, he will hear you and come see about you.  Ask blind Bartimaeus. The scriptures says in St. Mark 10:46-52 that Jesus, His disciples and a great number of people were leaving Jericho.  Blind Bartimaeus heard that Jesus of Nazareth was passing by.  Blind Bartimaeus could not see.  He did not know what Jesus looked like.  He only knew what he heard. Blind Bartimaeus began to cry out to Jesus, "Jesus, thou son of David have mercy on me".  When the people tried to stop him, he cried out the more so, "Thou son of David, have mercy on me".  He did no let people keep him from calling on the Lord.  He must have heard about the miracles, healing, deliverance that took place at the hand of the Lord. Jesus heard the cry of Blind Bartimaeus.  It was the sound of the cry that revealed to the Lord that Blind Bartimaeus was calling out in a blind state, but yet believing something would happen if he could get the attention of Je...

#A Lot of Singing,#Shouting,#Tongue Talking,#Playing

Music was one of the things that drew me to want to go to Church when I was not saved.   I use to love to hear and 'feel' the spirit of the songs.  Back then, the singers would sing unto the Lord.  They were not paid to sing.  They were not seeking recording contracts.  They would sing unto the Lord.  The would sing about the Lord.  So, when one went to hear the singers, your soul got touched whether you wanted it to or not. I can remember going to the Holiness Churches.  The praise was different too.  When the Saints praised God back then, it was real.  When the Saints did dance 'in the Spirit', it was real.  You could feel it.  There was always this 'presence' in the Holiness Church that I could not explain....then.  But that presence kind of held you captive, whether you wanted it o or not.  And, sometimes Church would go on for hours, but no one cared.  And, if one of the Saints said something to you that t...
