Living according to the Bible

The Bible is the Word of God.
As we meditate on it daily, are we really recieving the nourishment from it the way we really should?
If we do not eat we become weak. Do you grow weak when you do not read the word for a day, or if you did not pray?
When you do your QT do you really understand the meaning of those devotionals?
Do you use it as a tool to parade your knowledge, or did you really learn to change your life?
What have you learned?
What has changed?
Is it really because you have understood everything?
Then should there not be change in your life?
A spiritual change.
No one has yet come to ask any questions about the devotionals, maybe it is because you truly do understand.
Then for one year since you have started there must be a change.
It is simple, you are to die.
How much have you died?
How much gave you humbled yourself before God?
How much have you served your neighbor?
Who here has asked for forgiveness from those around you?
Even though you do not speak, we can see it in your face.
What has changed about you?
I am not talking baout your entire life, I am asking you about this past one year.
How much have you fallen on your knees asking God to forgive you for your sins?
Rather you still desire to do the same things you have always been doing.
You still want God to let you live the life you want.
How is it that God's word does not pierce your heart?
It pierces joint and marrow, but why do you not feel it?
Without repentance there can be no blessing.
It is the poor who will recieve the kingdom.
The beatitudes speak of death, humility, sacrifice.
It talks about letting go of the world.
If you want to meet Jesus you must let go.
The beatitides speak if blessings that can only be recieved when you let go of the world, but the problem is these things are not written in your heart.
Psalms 1 talks about how to recieve blessings, even Psalms 23 we have all memorized.
The rod and staff of God is not about what I want but where God leads me.
If you want His blessings then humble yourself before God.
What use it is to know the bible when it has no power in your life?
You don't need many verses, you just need one to fill your heart and change your life.
Just one verse, one word, and it is enough to guide you in your entire life.
You do not need to try to understand everything at once.
Once it becomes clear then everything will be shown to you.
You must choose to consume the word and make it your own.
It does me no good that the people I know understand the bible.
It does me no good that my spouse knows the word, if I do not.
It is better to know one verse in the bible and live your life according to it, rather than to memorize the entire bible and not live the life.
Is it because you do not know the bible that you lie, steal, are filled with pride, hate and do worng business?
Do you think God desires you to steal and give Him much or live right and give Him from what you made honestly?
Start now.
Change your mind, and your actions today.
Not because I tell you, if that is so then do not do it.
Return the QT books if you are going to keep it on the shelf.
Pray about what you are reading and change your life and live according to the word.
That is a Christian.
We do not believe a dead Christ, He is alive.
If He is alive and we do not live like He does then can we call ourselves a Christian?
Do you belive a dead Jesus, then rid yourself of Him, believe in the Jesus who is alive and chaneg your life.
Ask God what you must do to live in Christ.
If you believe in a dead Jesus you cannot go to heaven.
He has resurrected therefore you too must rise and live like Him.
The Word of God is alive.
It lives in me.
You must change.
The times are changing.
Christ can come at anytime.
What does it matter if He comes today, tomorrow, 10 years from now or 100 years from now.
Live the way you should for judgement will befall us all.
You do not know when you will die.
Only God knows.
Do not think that you are going to live a long life.
What if He calls you tonight?
If you have sin in your life repent now.
Why do you want to live another day in sin?
What does it serve?
There is too much to do in Christ.
What you want to do is to live you life in sin, smoking, drinking, having sex.
You must live so that the word of God comes alive through you.
