8/9/09 SOME THOUGHTS ON PRAYER
8/7/09 SOME THOUGHTS ON THE DIVINE IF/THEN
Divine Cause And Effect (If/Then).
God designed nature with an "if/then"
system. If the ground dries up, then the plants will wither. If the
plants wither, then the animals will die. All of life is coded with an
if/then plan.
The If/Then Principle in the Spiritual Realm
If a person does not repent, then he shall perish (Lk. 13:3).
If a person calls on the name of the Lord, then he shall be saved (Ro. 10:13).
If a person walks in the light as Christ
is in the light, then he has fellowship with believers and the blood of
Christ will cleanse him from all unrighteousness (1Jn. 1:7).
If a person confesses his sins, then he shall be forgiven his sins (1 Jn. 1:9).
TO READ OR NOT TO READ
Reading, Understanding and Obeying God's Word Is Essential To God's Blessings
Deuteronomy 29:29
29) The secret things belong unto
the LORD our God: but those things which are revealed belong unto us
and to our children forever, that we may do all the words of this
law.
DLG note... Knowing His word enables us to Obey His word.
Proverbs 13:13
13) Whoso despises the
word shall be destroyed: but he that fears the commandment shall be
rewarded.
DLG note... Rejectors of God's word will be ruined (not annihilated). Keepers of God's word will be rewarded.
Isaiah 5:24
24) Therefore as the fire devours the
stubble, and the flame consumes the chaff, so their root shall be as
rottenness, and their blossom shall go up as dust: because they have
cast away the law of the LORD of hosts, and despised the word of the
Holy One of Israel.
DLG note... Rejection of God's word is the road to total ruin.
Isaiah 45:19
19) I have not spoken in
secret, in a dark place of the earth: I said not unto the seed of
Jacob, Seek ye me in vain: I the LORD speak righteousness, I declare
things that are right.
DLG note... God has clearly revealed His plan for righteousness.
Matthew
11:27
27) All things are delivered unto me of my Father: and no
man knows the Son, but the Father; neither knows any man the Father,
save the Son, and he to whomsoever the Son will reveal him.
DLG note... A knowledge of Christ is pre-requisite to a knowledge of the Father.
2
Timothy 3:16-17
16) All Scripture is given by inspiration of God,
and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for
instruction in righteousness:
17) That the man of God may be
perfect, thoroughly furnished unto all good works.
DLG note... Perfection comes through received, life changing revelation.
2 Peter
1:19
19) We have also a more sure word of prophecy; whereunto ye
do well that ye take heed, as unto a light that shines in a dark
place, until the day dawn, and the day star arise in your
hearts:
DLG note... God's word is the light that leads us from darkness to light, then to greater light.
Revelation 1:3
3) Blessed is he that reads, and
they that hear the words of this prophecy, and keep those things
which are written therein: for the time is at hand.
DLG note... Desire for His word results in obedience to His word, which results in blessedness.
Revelation
22:7
7) Behold, I come quickly: blessed is he that keeps the
saying of the prophecy of this book.
DLG note... Blessings await those who keep (obey) God's word.
Revelation 22:14
14)
Blessed are they that do his commandments, that they may have right
to the tree of life, and may enter in through the gates into the
city.
DLG note... Eternal life is reserved for those who keep His commandments.
Revelation 22:18-19
18) For I testify unto every man
that hears the words of the prophecy of this book, If any man shall
add unto these things, God shall add unto him the plagues that are
written in this book:
19) And if any man shall take away from the
words of the book of this prophecy, God shall take away his part out
of the book of life, and out of the holy city, and from the things
which are written in this book.
DLG note... Our eternal destiny is determined by the way we treat the word of God.
Upward and Onward in Christ,
Pastor David L. Gould
